Chapter IX Punishment and Bought

On the first night after arriving at the military camp, Tao merchants met with their subordinates who went to the expedition under Mi Fang's arrangement.

In the tent, there were wine and banquets. Four lieutenants, three lieutenants and fifteen lieutenants all sat down. The tent seemed tight for a while, and everyone was crowded with people, and it seemed a little unsatisfied. They even hit their butts together.

Mi Fang and the Tao Shang sat in the main seat one by one, looking at the generals below, thinking about each other.

This is Mi Fang's first time as the chief general. The old god is here, and he is full of complacent and seems to be quite proud. The one who is now described as the one who is proud of the spring breeze.

The Tao merchant was not as good as him. He was just observing the following people calmly.

On the surface, they all seem extremely respectful, and they are like a man; but no one knows what they are thinking about...

But the pottery was sure that they would not think of good things in their hearts, at least they would not be convinced.

In my previous life, every time I was served as an important position in the group, everyone was convinced and dissatisfied. On the surface, they looked harmonious, but in fact they were sneering behind their backs. This is a kind of human nature. The world is rolling around. Which one in the world is not a common person? Those who are not a common person are not a common person, and they are not a common person.

Everyone is human, and their mental state should be the same regardless of ancient or modern times.

It was Mi Fang's first time leading a soldier, and he was a teenage boy with no power. These people have been with Cao Bao all year round. Even if they were not experienced in many battles, they should have been veterans who had fought with the Xuzhou Yellow Turbans. They were intimidated by the appointment and had to bow their heads to themselves and Mi Fang, but they were probably not sincere.

According to common sense, the best way is to give grace to the pottery merchants and Mi Fang, rely on time to conquer their sincerity bit by bit, and use time to enrich their feelings... But now that the war is about to go, the pottery merchants don't have so much time to talk about this calf.

At this moment, you have to use a big stick to point it out.

"The Western Expedition is coming soon. My Tao Merchants was ordered to supervise the army and go to the front line with you to fight against the thieves and rebels. This meal tonight is considered a travel wine and a meeting wine! I have known you and I, and I have to rely on you to assist General Mi to fight a few beautiful battles in the future. Don't humiliate the reputation of our Xuzhou army... Come on, do one!"

The pottery raised the wine cup, and the lieutenants in the account also raised the wine cup together.

"Announcing the thief to kill the rebels! Swearing to kill the thief!" After saying that, everyone was depressed.

Tao Shang raised his lips and said that these people were shouting loudly.

"Everyone, I wonder what you have to say about this fight against the thief, why not talk about it?"

Among all the people, a lieutenant named Wu stood up and saluted: "The eldest son, as the last general, the alliance will be far away. Not only will the army be injured in the expedition, but Dong Zhuo is full of the strong Western Liang army. The Bingzhou army and the Luoyang Central Army, which have been through many battles, are far from comparable to the Xuzhou army. It is better to fight with it and watch the success or failure of the alliance. It is okay."

After Magistrate Wu finished speaking, he saw the people below talking and nodding, all of them agreeing.

Tao Shang smiled slightly and said, "Person Wu's words are reasonable, but when the governor Tao issued a military order, this expedition was not the request."

The Wu Zhengwei arched his head and his chest raised, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Although the military orders of the governor are like this, the general is outside and the military orders are not accepted. His subordinates followed General Cao for many years to fight. Whenever he was in battle, General Cao would give him good guidance and give him guidance! According to the last general's opinion, there is no chance of winning this Western Expedition."

The Tao merchant played with the wine cup gently and smiled: "What a good person who always comes to war, I will give you some advice... According to the views of the Chief Wu, General Cao's ability should be above General Tao?"

Captain Wu was not scared, but raised his neck instead.

In his eyes, the pottery was just a child who was still young and had a bad baby, and he was a person who had killed someone in the last battle. Why should he be afraid of him?

"The last general did not say that. Governor Tao is the leader of Xuzhou and has the ability of Governor Tao. However, when it comes to military affairs and wars, General Cao is the first in Xuzhou."

Upon hearing this, Tao Shang slowly said: "Prince Wu just said that the general was not subject to military orders abroad, but did he know that the military orders were as good as a mountain? The military orders of the governor have been issued, how can we not obey?"

Wu Zhengwei said seriously: "The eldest son insists on doing his own thing. If he insists on doing this, he is afraid that these five thousand soldiers will be buried in another place. "

The Tao merchant curled his lips: "What's the big deal?"

Captain Wu stressed heavily: "If the army is forced to fight, the morale of the army will be unstable and cause a mutiny, it will be difficult to control! This is a big deal."

It’s hard to control? Mi Fang was uneasy when she listened next to her. Why did this mean the more she listened, the more threatening it became?

Thinking of this, Mi Fang looked at the pottery merchant in a daze, but saw that the pottery merchant's face had already become cold.

"If you don't go out and talk nonsense, how can the morale of the army be unstable?" Tao Shang stood up slowly, and there was a chill in his eyes: "You are a soldier, and obeying military orders is your duty! It is your duty! If you are afraid of death, you will hold your children and your wife at home and run here to join the army? As a soldier, let alone being buried in a different place, wearing a corpse in a horse and a corpse, even if you are in front of you, you will jump in! Talking about life and avoiding death, fearing strong enemies, and you are embarrassed to talk about military morale with me? With someone like you, how can the morale of the army be?"

After saying that, the pottery raised his feet and kicked it over the table.

Everyone present was shocked when they saw this. They could not have imagined that this seemingly gentle and weak young man had such a temper.

The pottery kicked over the table and quickly winked at Mi Fang. Mi Fang understood it and shouted: "Come here!"

The personal soldiers outside the tent walked into the camp almost instantly, as if they had already arranged it.

Tao Shang pointed at the commander Wu: "Pull it down for me and I will be responsible for forty military sticks!"

After saying that, he saw several guards coming forward to arrest Wu's Captain Wu.

Captain Wu showed a fierce look: "Who dares? I'll chop him!"

"Random!" Tao Shang also showed a fierce look on his face: "Who dares? Who will be beaten to the forty military sticks for him! If he dares to fight back, he will be executed on the spot! His killing of his hand has nothing to do with you. If you are killed by him, I will die in vain!"

When it comes to this level, which guard will still hold back, gritting his teeth and ruthlessly go up to capture Wu Ziwei.

At this moment, Captain Wu finally became anxious and shouted: "Young Master! I am loyal, you can't hit me!"

Tao Shang raised his neck: "I am the military supervisor, who can't beat me? I don't know him if I beat me!"

The personal soldiers came up, one left and one right, one front and one back, each holding up the Captain Wu with force, dragging and pulling it out with force.

Captain Wu kicked and struggled hard, and shouted angrily: "I am the captain directly under General Cao's left army. You can't do this. You, you, you, you have no right to fight..."

Tao Shang sneered: "Tell me someone to scare me? Sorry, I won't eat this set! Add twenty more military sticks to me and beat me hard... beat me to a scum! I can't even know the scum that General Cao doesn't know!"

One left and one right, he dragged Captain Wu out. When he was young, he heard the crisp sound of "papapapapa" outside the tent, accompanied by the rhythmic sound of the board, and there were also painful shouts.

Facing the astonishing eyes of everyone, Tao Shang sat down slowly, looked around the others around him, and said, "I am ordered by the governor to supervise the army, only recognize the military orders, not the human favors. This Western Expedition, General Mi was commanded, not General Cao! The war is imminent, and we all need to respect the military orders and do things. I hope you have a scale in your heart. You must know who is leading the army, and you should listen to whoever you say!"

After a pause, Tao Shang Youyou said, "You understand what I mean, do you understand?"

At this time, I don’t understand how much I have no eyesight to see you? I’m talking about wine on the battlefield or meeting wine... It’s clear that it’s a premeditated Hongmen Banquet!

The remaining three captains, three captains, and fifteen dudes stood up one after another and expressed their loyalty in unison: "No! Only generals and generals are the only ones who follow the army and General Mi!"

"Okay!" Tao Shang continued: "As a military supervisor, I am the best military law in everything, but I also know your difficulties. The generals go out to fight, sleep in the open air, and bathe in the battlefield for the country and the people. One bad thing is that they are wearing horses and corpses. They must be fair in their work. You have paid the hard work they deserve, and you must have the reward they deserve."

After saying that, he saw the Taoist merchant pointing at Mi Fang and said, "Your general has prepared a gift for each of you. The lieutenant and the lieutenant are thirty gold each, and the Du Bo is thirty gold each. As the aftermath of your expedition, General Mi also agreed that if anyone among you sacrifices, his parents, wife and children will be given additional thirty gold in addition to the compensation provided by Xuzhou. This military supervisor will also provide guarantees here. Such treatment will ensure that you have no worries."

Mi Fang raised her chest, showing a look of being ungrateful, and it was obvious that I had money!

After pausing, the Tao Shang said again: "Of course, if you don't want to, the slag Captain Wu will be your role model... Let's choose!"

Mi Fang stood up and clapped her hands, and saw a row of personal soldiers taking several large wooden boxes into the tent, then opening them. The neatly arranged gold foil in the box instantly illuminated the eyes of everyone present.

Everyone has integrity and everyone has character, but for most people, integrity and character are far less important than eating. No matter how fierce the general is, he is a human being, and no matter how desperate the soldiers are, they have to support their families. Compared with the illusory slogans, money is the most real thing. Of course, money cannot buy everyone's loyalty, but there is no problem with buying the temporary loyalty of these people in front of the pottery merchant.

A paradise who regards money as dirt exists, but it is rare, and most of the people in society are still ordinary people.

Money is the most vulgar thing. The reason why it is said to be vulgar is that it is the most practical for ordinary people.

These lieutenants, lieutenants, and lords, look at me and I look at you. They all saw deep desire in each other's eyes.

"If you want it, take it away! If you don't want it, go get the stick and then be your companion with Captain Wu of Zhazha." Tao Shang said with a smile.

When he finished speaking, he saw everyone in the tent kneeling down and shouting loudly: "I am willing to work hard for the eldest son!"

The Tao merchant could hear that this time the shouting was indeed from the heart and completely from the sincerity.

"Wrong." Tao Shang shook his head: "I am the military supervisor and I am not responsible for fighting. The person you want to work hard is General Mi."
