"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!..." The military sticks as thick as an arm hit the person and kept making dull sounds, and the people around the platform were tightened. Especially after seeing a big man like Sun Tu, the commander of the army was subjected to this severe punishment in front of everyone, the impact on everyone became even greater.

Before, many people suspected that everything today was just a formality or a play, but now, when they saw hundreds of soldiers being beaten by military sticks, they were so beaten up and screaming, they truly believed in Sun Tu's sincerity, because even he himself was tortured.

The people near the high platform could clearly see the military stick carrying the sound of the wind falling heavily on Sun Tu's back, and then the flesh broke and brought out a terrible scene. They could also see the twitching of Sun Tu's facial muscles when he was beaten. If someone said that all this was a scene, it was all fake, and that would be really a lie.

After dozens of sticks, Sun Tu's back was already bloody and the people from all over the world gradually came out of the shock just now, and there were constant buzzing sounds: "General Sun really regards military law more than anything else, so we should believe that he can guard our Bianjing City well and that the people will not suffer any more."

"I have long said that General Sun is a great hero of our Song Dynasty. Since he led his troops to say that he was clearing the king's side, it must be the fault of those treacherous ministers and corrupt officials. What are the six thieves, Cai Jing and Gao Qiu, etc., who are not treacherous ministers who deceive superiors and subordinates, and harm the country and the people, they deserve to die!"

"The soldiers under General Sun's command are our great saviors. They had defeated the Liao and Jin people in the north before. This time, they came to Tokyo to kill corrupt officials. He himself valued military law so much and emphasized that it should not disturb the people. This is something that no army can do in thousands of years..."

"What kind of prince commits the same crime as the people, and what kind of hair cuts off the heads are all deceitful tricks. Only a great hero like General Sun will tell us with practical actions that everyone is equal in front of his military law, even himself is no exception. What else can we doubt him?"

Under the influence of some people who are interested, the people around him have become more and more aware that his troops can bring them to the entire Tokyo and the entire Song Dynasty for safety and fairness. Some people have even begun to worry about whether Sun Tu's body can withstand such a beating and shouted: "General Sun, we already know your sincerity. You are in the world, so please don't be punished!"

But these words did not work at all. The military sticks were still roaring on Sun Tu's back, which made people feel heartbroken. In fact, the people who were most touched this time were not the people, but the soldiers around them. Seeing their commander being punished in public for the fault of their subordinates, this made them feel more painful than the punishment they were given by themselves, and the lessons they had learned were even more profound.

Originally, they had a lot of complaints about Sun Tu's scrupulous law to deal with the scheming of the incident. After all, in the eyes of ordinary soldiers, they won consecutive battles and captured dozens of cities, and finally even Tokyo was quickly captured. They made great contributions. With such great contributions, even if they really plundered the people because of some greed, it would not be a big mistake. At least they could be able to offset their merits and demerits and be impunitive.

But Sun Tu had no such idea at all, but directly ordered the use of this severe punishment. Even if the loyal Qingzhou soldiers were to him, they would feel a little resentful.

But now, with Sun Tu accompanying everyone to be punished and getting more military sticks and not getting a discount at all, the resentment in the hearts of the soldiers has turned into worry and shame. No time has it made them feel that the military law is so strict. No matter who he has made any contribution, as long as he violates the military law, he will be severely punished.

The military sticks that fell not only hit Sun Tu's back, but also hit the hearts of every soldier against the thief, especially those Qingzhou soldiers guarding the high platform. Listening to the banging sound of their heads, the muscles on their faces trembled and twitched. They were extremely sad and their respect for Sun Tu reached the highest point.

Suddenly, a soldier subconsciously started singing: "All the soldiers of the Song Dynasty must remember, pay attention to the three major disciplines and eight points..."

As the singing sounded, the robes around were stunned, and then followed one by one, slowly began to sing. First, there were more than a dozen people, then dozens and hundreds. In the end, not only the thousands of soldiers around the platform, but also the soldiers who were still waving sticks on the platform, the soldiers watching all this in the crowd unconsciously joined the chorus of this military song.

The song slowly gathered, and a tune was played. A strange and simple lyrics and music were scattered and understood in the crowd quickly sang: "First, all actions are followed by commands and steps are consistent to win; second, if the people do not take a needle and thread, the people support me and like me; third, everything is seized and returned to the public, and strive to reduce the burden on the court..."

At the beginning, the people were just listening curiously, but as the soldiers kept singing and repeated, this catchy song resonated with everyone. Soon, many people also joined the chorus of this song, which also meant that the people recognized Sun Tu and the anti-thief army, and believed that they were indeed devoted to the public and had no doubts or grudges.

In ancient times, Shang Yang set up a tree in the city to establish trust, and clearly stated that those who are strong men who can move wood to the city gate can get a hundred gold. At that time, the people of Qin refused to believe it until a strong man tried to move the giant tree and then really received a reward of hundreds of gold. As a result, the imperial court laws were recognized by the people of the whole country, and finally allowed the Qin reforms to penetrate into every corner of the country and achieve the beginning of hegemony.

Today, Sun Tu is more radical than Shang Yang. He used his own punishment to win the trust of the people and the entire army. As a result, a wave of military sticks were beaten, and the hearts of the army and the people were all thrown into his arms, which completely opened the door and paved the way for the next action!

Of course, ordinary people and soldiers cannot see this. Those scholars with a clever mind are afraid to stand against such a great hero trusted by everyone and even worshipped by them under this trend. It can be said that the value of this hundred military stick is immeasurable, and it is greater than the ability to capture dozens of cities by wielding the army. The city outside is easy to break, but the city in the heart is difficult to attack!

However, all this is just for the overall situation, but those who really care about Sun Tu obviously don't think so, such as his family.

Just as everyone sang, the crowd was inspiring and the admiration of Sun Tu reached its highest point, he was still ruthlessly beaten by military sticks on the platform. Then, a man rushed over on a horse like a flying horse, almost like a slashing wave, and screamed loudly: "Sanlang--!"

This situation scared the people and exclaimed in surprise and hurried away. The soldiers originally planned to stop them, but they could see clearly the woman who was wearing a fiery red jacket but still had a slender figure and pretty appearance. Because everyone recognized her identity at this moment - Sun Tu's flat wife Hu Rong!

Because Sun Tu knew that he would suffer a lot this time, he kept it from his family and did not let them know that this happened. However, the matter was leaked, and Hu Rong was so anxious that he rushed over, which made him stunned. After thrusting the military stick, he couldn't help but snorted.

When Hu Rong saw this scene, she was extremely anxious, her eyes turned red, and she urged the horse with all her strength again. When the horse rushed to the platform, she pressed her hand hard on the horse's back. She rushed straight towards Sun Tu who was lifting up. Her almond eyes widened, and her mouth opened angrily. A scream followed. At the same time, there was a cold light that flew out. She was just on the stick that was hit again, cutting off the military stick of the arm length. At the same time, she also landed lightly beside Sun Tu, and then stepped in front of him: "Stop!"

This incident shocked everyone. The singing stopped long ago, and tens of thousands of pairs of eyes fell on the stage. Hu Rong was not surprised at all and shouted: "Why do you want to beat Sanlang? He clearly did nothing wrong. He came to save my Song Dynasty and the people... Even if the soldiers below did something wrong, they were responsible for their own fault, why did he be punished!"

Yes, why? Just because he is the commander of the three armies, is he going to be implicated by the people below? If this is true, I am afraid that there will be no general in the world. I even use this to infer that if officials commit crimes, wouldn’t they blame the emperor?

In an instant, the surrounding military and civilians were once again impacted and admired Sun Tu even more. Not only did they not blame Hu Rong for her appearance, but they admired her courage to speak in order to save her husband.

Even Sun Tu didn't expect this change, so he immediately endured the pain and looked at Hu Rong beside him: "Rong'er, why did you come here? How did you know about this?"

"Sanlang..." Looking at Sun Tu's bloody and pale face, Hu Rong felt more and more distressed, and tears flowed down her eyes: "How come you didn't tell me and my sister about such a big thing? But we were scared to death. If Brother Tong hadn't asked someone to bring a letter, we would probably be kept in the dark... I, I would never let you be beaten for no reason!" The last sentence was so resolute that she was also very aggressive like a female leopard who only protected her injured partner, and scared the soldiers around her to take a few steps back.

Sun Tu smiled bitterly: "What exactly does Tong Mu want to do? I clearly asked him to meet the emperor and get things done, so why did he have such a fuss again?"
