Chapter five hundred and ninety third military law engagement
Pingping is more than thirteen years old, and the cardamom leaves are in early February.
The spring breeze is ten miles away on Yangzhou Road, and it is better to roll up the bead curtain.

…
After the Battle of the Floating Bridge, Bai Fu disobeyed orders in front of the formation and was summoned to the military tent to await his fate.
Li Guangbi looked directly into Bai Fu's eyes and remained silent for a full stick of incense, with an unfathomable expression on his face.
The more Li Guangbi remained silent, the more uneasy the generals in the tent became, and the air pressure in the tent suddenly increased.
The generals originally wanted to plead for Bai Fu, but in such a solemn atmosphere, no one dared to speak and held their breath for fear of offending the commander's power.
Under the gaze of Li Guangbi, Bai Fu showed no fear and looked firmly at the coach on the tiger-skin seat.
After a long time, Li Guangbi slapped his boldness and shouted: "Bai Fu, did you know that if you violate military orders, you will be punished by military law? If the consequences are serious, you will be thrown out of the camp and executed?!"
As soon as these words came out, the generals were shocked and thought: "Although the commander-in-chief always makes things difficult for Bai Fu, he won't mobilize troops like this, right?
Bai Fu is a rare tiger general. If he really wants to be punished so severely, we still need to come forward to dissuade him."
Just as the generals were thinking secretly, Bai Fu gave him a military salute and responded calmly: "Reporting to the commander-in-chief, just as you often teach the three armies: When generals are out, military orders will not be obeyed. We should adapt to local conditions and move according to the enemy.
.
According to Article 23 of the Shuofang Army Military Regulations, when generals above the brigade commander in Zhechong Prefecture are conducting immediate command, if they find that the battlefield situation has changed and the original enemy strategy is no longer applicable, they can take advantage of the changes in the battlefield and take advantage of them.
In the Battle of the Floating Bridge, the rebel soldiers who fell into the water were no longer able to resist and would not pose a threat to our soldiers. If they were to kill all of them, it would certainly increase the deterrence of our army, but if they fight again in a different place, the rebels would know that our army will not pardon them.
If you are a prisoner, once you are surrounded, you will definitely risk your life to break out.
Attacking the city is the next step, attacking the heart is the top step.
The predecessor of the rebel army was the Fan Yang Army of the Tang Dynasty. They had been deeply favored by the country for many years. It is not ruled out that there were soldiers who were deeply attached to the Tang Dynasty. These people may have been coerced for some reason and had to join the rebel army.
If we can make good use of this battle, we may be able to win back the hearts and minds of many rebels and leave a glimmer of hope for future battles."
The establishment of Article 23 of the Shuofang Army Military Regulations is to hand over the command and decision-making power of killing the enemy on the battlefield to lower-level officers to ensure that tactical strategies can be used flexibly during the implementation process and will not be too rigid.
Bai Fuyan poked and prodded, and the generals nodded frequently.
Bai Fu caught a glimpse of the expressions of the generals with his peripheral vision, which strengthened his confidence. Bai Fu continued: "
As far as the general knows, Shuofang's army defeated Shi Siming and captured Zhao County. Some soldiers of Shuofang's army looted property. It was Li Shuai who personally sat at the city gate and returned all the property looted by the soldiers to the people.
When they conquered Zhao County, Shuofang's army captured 4,000 Yan army officers and soldiers. Commander Guo ordered them all to be released, and only Guo Xianqiu, the pseudo-prefect appointed by An Lushan, was killed.
You and Guo Shuai's merciful acts of caring for the people and caring for all living beings were clearly different from Shi Siming's brutal methods of massacring cities at every turn, and they instantly won the hearts and minds of the people of Hebei Province.
You often say that the purpose of war is not to kill, but to stop killing.
In the end, it will be understood deeply.
I believe that soldiers of the Tang Dynasty should not become bloodthirsty butchers or killing machines. A truly outstanding soldier should not only have the courage to charge into battle, but also have a heart of love and compassion..."
Bai Fu made an impassioned speech without vomiting it out loud, which made the generals in the camp excited and full of pride.
"Pah, pah, pah"
A solitary applause sounded in the big tent. Li Guangbi applauded lukewarmly.
He sneered and asked coldly: "General Bai is indeed well-deserved, he is such a sharp-tongued man!
Bai Fu, let me ask you, do you know that the army has less than ten days of food and grass, and if we keep these prisoners, everyone will be starved of food."
Bai Fu said calmly: "If you are willing to serve the Tang army, you can stay voluntarily. If you are unwilling to surrender, you can be sent back and released."
Li Guangbi smiled sinisterly and asked, "What if the prisoners return to the rebel army? Aren't we working in vain and end up with thousands more enemy troops?"
Bai Fu already had a countermeasure for this, he cupped his fists and saluted, and replied: "Shi Siming is cruel, easy to kill, ruthless and suspicious. He has always been wary of us secretly planting spies in his army to win people's hearts and instigate rebellion against the generals.
Once these prisoners return to the Yan army, their lives will be in danger if they are not saved. Even if their lives can be saved, they will not be reused for a while.
Compare the two and make a judgment.
Even if these seeds for the fall of the Tang Dynasty are sown, when the time comes, they will sprout and burst out of the ground."
"Hahaha"
Li Guangbi stroked the tiger's beard and laughed loudly.
Seeing the coach's expression softening, the generals breathed a sigh of relief, and then they dared to whisper to each other and discuss in low voices.
Unexpectedly, Li Guangbi's laughter stopped, his face darkened, and he scolded with boldness: "You are such a vain person, you just want to get away with your lies by using sweet words?
During the Battle of Qinghe and Beiku, I, in recognition of your meritorious planning, promoted you to Brigade Commander of Shennu Camp. I planned to end this battle and reinstate you to your post.
I didn't expect you to be so arrogant and dare to disobey the general's order!
If every officer in the army is as self-righteous and playing tricks as you are, how can our Shuofang army manage the army? What is the use of military discipline?
Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be forgiven!
Come on, take Bai Fu down, give him twenty whips, and confine him for ten days! Remove his military rank and reorganize him into the scout camp.
If there is a next time, I will kill you without mercy!"
Li Guangbi waved his sleeves and left the table.
The generals were in an uproar and were as silent as cicadas.
Pugu Huaien gave Bai Fu a meaningful look, thoughtfully.
…
An hour later, Bai Fu finished the torture and was taken into the cell by the military law enforcement officer.
It is damp and cold here, surrounded by prison walls made of granite and covered with yellow-green moss.
More than ten feet above the ground, there is a one-foot-square ventilation window. The window is separated by iron bars as thick as three arms to prevent prisoners from escaping.
Bai Fu lay on the ground, the straw underneath him soft and dry.
The executioner's baton was very particular in the blows. It looked bloody and horrific, but in fact they were just skin injuries, not muscles or bones.
Baifu's inner breath has been circulating for a week, and most of his injuries have healed.
Getting up and wandering, there are seven steps from the window to the door, and seven steps from the door to the window.
Touching the cell wall and looking up at the bars, Bai Fu was in a trance for a moment, as if he had returned to the days of Lihentian.
This person has passed away, and time is gone.
Looking back on my career over the past few years, I can see the sadness of being imprisoned and the darkest moments, but also the majesty and heroic appearance of the Danfeng Tower military parade.
The so-called glorious years are not your proud moments, but your tenacity and indomitable stubbornness in the face of suffering...
The sound of flapping came, and a green parrot with a red beak flapped its wings and flew into the cell through the iron window. It raised its beak and said in a human-like manner: "Little white dragon, don't worry, I'll accompany you to relieve your boredom."
It's Hawkeye's favorite thing.
Bai Fu smiled and took off a copper ring from the parrot's foot. After twisting it open, he found today's military report written on the thin silk paper.
Bai Fu held the parrot in his palm, smiled at the parrot and said, "I'm fine, don't worry, brothers."
The parrot nodded and said in a loud voice: "I'm fine, brothers, don't worry. Haha"
Bai Fu laughed heartily and tossed the parrot gently. The parrot spread its wings, jumped out from the iron window, and flew high. After a few ups and downs, it disappeared into the sky.
