Ever since Wen Ranran and Tao Yuanyuan took charge of the army, countless people have been dissatisfied.
But there is no way. There are currently no military generals available in the DPRK. Qin Zhuo, Xiangyuan, Fu Guan, Chenghong and the like are not high enough, and they are even a little young.
As Yu Zheng went north, he was also trapped in northern Xinjiang. Wang Shujun was too old, so Feng Cheng had to stay in the capital.
For a time, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty could not find anyone who could take charge of the reinforcements under the banner of this campaign.
At first, the two of them just turned a deaf ear to this, but due to their identities and the majesty of Wang Shujun in the army, they both held back and said nothing.
But tonight's assisting defense made Wen Ranran aware of the dissatisfaction of the people below.
With this kind of dissatisfaction, Wen Ranran's roundabout methods of convincing were useless. Only absolutely severe and violent methods could break the deadlock.
And for this, Tao Yuanyuan is undoubtedly the most suitable person.
Of course, Wen Ranran didn't ask them to communicate with each other to assist in defense. He just sent someone to report it perfunctorily or even jokingly. Of course, the other party would not take it seriously.
And this lack of seriousness directly led to tonight's conflict.
Under the absolute lack of attention, Yuan Xu's ambition and perfunctoryness were fully exposed, and this was the best time to establish his authority.
Troubled times require the use of heavy codes, and the same goes for rebellious armies.
It's just... Wen Ranran felt a little guilty in her heart when she looked at Shen Tong, who was holding the military stick but said nothing.
This plot is not just about establishing prestige, it also contains the element of bitterness.
After all, everyone can only be truly convinced if they are attacking one of their own, or even if there is no distinction between friend and foe.
Shen Tong, as the legendary helper of the defense this time, still bears the name of being the scapegoat and received thirty military sticks. Fortunately, the person who did it was Qian Yu, so he probably won't suffer any illness.
After a cruel punishment, the training ground was filled with wailing, the mountain wind was strong, and countless people were startled into cold sweats.
Tao Yuanyuan's face finally looked better. Looking at the half-dead Yuan Xu in the audience, she raised her lips with a rare sneer.
"That's enough, help him down. Heal the wounds that need to be healed. Tomorrow... as long as they can stand up, they can patrol when they need to patrol and train when they need to train. There is no need for waste in the army of our Rongguo! If this happens again next time
If you show up, you will be beaten with more than fifty army sticks!"
All the generals said yes.
Wen Ranran smiled but said nothing.
Of course she knew Tao Yuanyuan's psychological pressure. Nearly twenty years were wasted in that deep palace. She did not pick up a sword or practice sword practice for twenty years.
These days, she herself was also trying to make amends like crazy, even falling into Wen Ranran's arms several times without saying a word.
Although her mother-in-law had been wasted in the palace, she was really unambiguous when it came to doing something. Wen Ranran shook her head and then sent Tao Yuanyuan back to the tent.
After a night of silence, Wen Ranran thought about it again and went directly to Shen Tong's tent.
Today's scene really wouldn't have been possible without Shen Tong.
Wen Ranran never had much habit of knocking when she came in, not to mention that she and Shen Tong were also old acquaintances.
But... Wen Ranran was still stunned by the sight in front of her.
Shen Tong was half naked and was struggling to apply ointment on his back. When he saw Wen Ranran coming, he blushed deeply. He just endured the pain and wanted to put on his clothes, but was stopped by Wen Ranran.
"No need, we're all on our own!"
Shen Tong was immediately choked and put down his clothes in a sullen voice.
Looking at the bloody scars on his back, a flash of guilt flashed in Wen Ranran's eyes.
Shen Tong saw it in his eyes and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, that kid Qianyu is a martial arts practitioner and knows how to measure. The injury seems serious, but it is not serious enough to imprison him. I think he will be fine after three to five days of rest!"
Wen Ranran didn't say anything, but just turned her face away first.
"sorry……"
Shen Tong was stunned for a moment, then returned to his naive smile.
"No need to be sorry, how about..." Wen Ranran couldn't help but speak.
Shen Tong's face was expressionless, and his face suddenly fell. With his honest and charming face, he looked particularly funny.
"I...I'm already like this and you still want to drive me away?!"
