Chapter 222 Extrajudicial mercy, go back to Lizhou
Cheng Jie summarized it and said: "One person broke into people's houses, robbed and committed adultery; two people robbed military weapons, weapons and food, and the remaining few just killed good people and took credit..."
There were quite a few people bumped into by the Military Justice Department, not to mention those from the Lizhou Camp, but there were also about ten in the Liangzhou Camp.
All those who were taken away from the Military Justice Department by Wei Ran's generals were all taken out.
Seeing this scene, Sun Yi gritted his teeth and glared at his general. This was more than just embarrassing.
The military attaché named Fan Ji was still among the crowd and was not taken away by the Military Justice Department.
Fang Jue seemed to have forgotten what happened in Lizhou Camp. He only looked at the people who committed the crime in Liangzhou Camp and said to Cheng Jie:
"According to our Daxia Military Law, how should they be dealt with?"
Cheng Jie opened his mouth and said: "Behead..."
"General, please spare my life..."
The dozen or so people were immediately frightened. Knowing that it was coming, they all knelt down and begged for mercy.
"What should we do with the people who protect them?" Fang Jue continued to ask.
Cheng Jie: "You should be demoted and punished."
Hearing that he was just demoted and punished, the general under Wei Ran breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he was a little unhappy, feeling that he was using a chicken feather as an arrow.
So he argued: "Brothers did not bully the people of Xia. They are all from Beiliang. They shouldn't be held responsible so heavily, right?"
It seems that in his words, the people of Beiliang deserve to die, and they can do whatever they want to them.
"Shut up!" Wei Ran cursed angrily, "You still think I'm not embarrassed enough?"
Fang Jue said calmly: "We are an army of rebels. Beiliang has been my territory of Daxia since ancient times, and the people of Beiliang have been my people of Daxia since ancient times!"
“You don’t even have this level of awareness, how dare you still defend yourself against the law with confidence!?”
"Well!"
As soon as these words came out, many people were reminded.
Yes, today's Six Kingdoms are just vassals that split the earth and have not been recognized by Daxia at all.
Therefore, in the laws of Daxia, they are still regarded as subjects. The shore of Tutu is not a subject of the king, and Beiliang is also a part of Daxia.
People from Beiliang naturally have the same legal status as people from Daxia!
Who dares to say otherwise?
Anyone who dares to say otherwise will be guilty of splitting the Xia Dynasty. If he has a disobedient heart, he should be punished!
"I... I was wrong." The general under Wei Ran immediately gave in, had a correct attitude, and reacted very quickly.
This is not something you can teach anyone.
"General, spare your life, I know I was wrong..."
The dozen soldiers knelt on the ground and cried.
Wei Ran couldn't stand it anymore and half-knelt down in front of Fang Jue helplessly: "The soldiers have realized their mistake. I beg the general to show mercy and there will be no next time!"
"I beg the general to show mercy beyond the law!" The Liangzhou camp was united and knelt down in front of Fang Jue in an orderly manner. All the generals bowed their heads and showed sincerity.
Sun Yi stood there awkwardly. He finally understood that when it came to running an army, both Lin Bei and Wei Ran were better than him.
The Lizhou camp was also united, but it was not this kind of unity.
"Extrajudicial mercy?"
Fang Jueleng said: "You are united."
"General, don't get me wrong. We have no other intentions. We just don't want to see our brothers die because of this. Please give me a chance to make meritorious service!" Wei Ran knelt down on his knees and buried his head.
He did not dare to make Fang Jue think that he wanted to join forces to resist the law like Lizhouying did. Although he could be exempted temporarily, he would definitely be liquidated in the future.
Seeing that the general was like this, the soldiers of Liangzhou camp also followed him one after another.
"General..." Cheng Jie gestured.
Everyone is like this, if you insist on not giving me face, you may mess up.
Fang Jue understood what he meant. His original intention was not to kill a few people to show his majesty.
It's just that what these people did went too far, and as the coach, he would never let them go easily.
"It's okay to be merciful."
Fang Jue's words softened, and Cheng Jie breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, General!" Wei Ran was surprised, but he also understood that he only had one chance to give face like this.
I don’t know if it’s cost-effective to use it here.
But before he finished speaking, Fang Jue said: "I can be merciful, but all the military achievements recorded by Liangzhou Camp today will be lost. You can choose for yourself."
"This..." Someone hesitated.
Wei Ran said decisively: "It is natural to discount meritorious service. Thank you so much, General, for your extrajudicial kindness!"
It depends on how you calculate whether the whole battalion's military exploits today are exchanged for the lives of these dozen people.
Wei Ran thought it was a good deal, because if he killed a good person and took credit for it, all his military merits would be recorded as zero, and other people who took credit for taking credit would also have to be accounted for, so it was not a loss after all.
And to be honest, everyone knows how today's military success came about.
If Fang Jue hadn't used new weapons and caught the Shuangzhou defenders off guard, how could they have achieved such easy military success.
"Thank you, General!" the Liangzhou battalion generals said in unison.
Fang Jue said: "The death penalty can be avoided, but those few people who went on this expedition had to perform meritorious service, and their subsequent military achievements will not be recorded."
"Yes, General." The military chief recorded this.
"That's what it should be." Wei Ran didn't think it was inappropriate. As long as he could save people, he could accept other things.
After dealing with Liangzhou Camp, Fang Jue didn't even look at Sun Yi.
He only said: "My commander-in-chief has ordered the Lizhou Battalion to be transferred back to Lizhou immediately without delay!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and led the Yulin army back to the commander's camp.
"General!" Sun Yi stretched out his hand, but it stopped in mid-air. He moved his fingers awkwardly, but finally put it down.
"General, let's go back as soon as we go back. Who cares about leading the army under a yellow-haired boy?"
"That's right, it's just one less military achievement. It will be safer for our brothers to return to Lizhou, lest they be killed by him as a vanguard!"
"He is inherently selfish. The firearms battalion deserves most of the credit. We are just beheading some people. He is so harsh and stingy. He is not worthy of me sacrificing my life for him!"
"What Brother Fan said is absolutely true!"
Listening to his subordinates who were still talking shamelessly, Sun Yi suddenly felt tired. He shouldn't have pampered these subordinates like this on weekdays. The result of getting along with them was that he would lose the majesty of a superior.
"I asked the general to let Lizhou Camp be the vanguard..."
Sun Yi looked at everyone coldly. This time they entered the city with the Lizhou Battalion in front. Although they suffered more injuries than the other two battalions, they also had more beheadings.
"..." The Lizhou battalion general was stunned for a moment.
"That's all..."
Sun Yi was very helpless: "Get ready and go back to Lizhou."
"General, are we really going back like this?" The generals who were still dismissive just now had something to say one by one.
Sun Yi said angrily: "Isn't it embarrassing enough?"
"What are you saying, General? It was Fang Jue who put the Yulin Army on top of our Lizhou and Liangzhou camps, yet he believed the Yulin Army without even asking, but he wants to deal with us?"
"I'm not convinced either, but we can't just go back like this. It's not worthwhile to go all the way in vain!"
"that is……"
Tired.
Sun Yi now only feels that his head hurts.
He never expected that being too close to his subordinates would lead to such results.
He was "kidnapped" by his subordinates and had to confront the coach. As a result, Lizhou Camp was not only not reused, but also had to be liquidated afterwards.
Sun Yi already felt that he was in danger, but these subordinates still refused to give up, and they looked like they did not understand the situation clearly.
"Haha, what else do you want?" Sun Yi looked at everyone coldly and laughed angrily.
Fan Ji said: "We must make that party aware that all the military merits that should be given to us must be counted!"
"That's right, Liangzhou Camp doesn't want military honors, do we?"
"Yes, yes, yes, let him write down his general merits for us, otherwise we won't leave!"
A group of people started to set up rice seedlings.
Sun Yi's face was ashen: "You think we are in Lizhou? If you start a fuss, I have to coax you, provide for you, turn a blind eye and let you live?"
"The Yulin Army and the Liangzhou Camp have all returned to General Xin. You are going to die on your own. I don't care. I can't control you. I will resign as the Commander-in-Chief of Lizhou...Which of you is worthy of this important position?
Just recommend yourself to the imperial court."
Having said that, Sun Yi also waved his hand, rushed away from the crowd of subordinates, and headed towards the coach's camp.
"General, are you going to bow to that yellow-tongued kid?"
"General!" Suddenly, they heard Sun Yi's frightened voice.
I saw many soldiers coming up from around, surrounding all the main generals of Lizhou Camp. Sun Yi was also pushed back by Lin Bei and Wei Ran.
"What are you going to do?!" Fan Ji yelled.
Lin Bei raised his hand in the direction of the commander's camp and said coldly: "On the order of the general, I will supervise the retreat of Lizhou Camp. In addition to three days of rations, you must not bring anything else that does not belong to Lizhou Camp!"
"Go back immediately, otherwise I will enforce military law!" Wei Ran leaned on his sword and looked coldly at the people in Lizhou Camp.
"Is this really what happened?" Sun Yi hasn't seen Fang Jue yet. He went to ask for forgiveness, but he didn't expect Fang Jue to even see him.
Wei Ran shook his head and said: "Brother Sun, you are too lax in disciplining your subordinates. Fortunately, there was no trouble on the battlefield this time. With your Lizhou camp like this, who would dare to believe you in a bloody battle?"
"Go back. The crime is not serious now. The most you can do is to be reprimanded by His Majesty's decree. If the trouble continues, someone will die." Lin Bei said calmly.
