"Without an orderly retreat, ineffective restraint of troops, and collision with the defense line, we are awaiting death." All the generals bowed down in unison.
Liu Zhang said coldly: "Since we know the death penalty, come here, pull us down and behead them all."
Xiao Furong's expression twisted as she held her sword behind her.
"Please show mercy to the Lord." Zhang Ren, Gao Pei, Lei Tong and other generals all bowed down. Zhang Ren said urgently: "The army has fled and cannot be saved by manpower. The generals are also helpless. Now is the time of the war. Killing so many generals will not be the best for the war.
It’s not good, please think again, my lord.”
"Please, my lord, think twice." Gao Pei and other generals asked in unison.
"Can't save it without human power?" Liu Zhang snorted coldly. Today he stood under the commander's flag. Although his face was calm, he kept watching the movements of the entire army. The kneeling generals just ran away, without even looking at the commander's flag that he risked planting.
At one glance, they were trampling on each other and killing each other. At that time, I wanted to behead all these people. Even though I won, my anger would not go away.
Liu Zhang said angrily: "There are mountains of corpses outside the white line. I am watching the whole army. Which one of you has restrained your troops? I am standing with a flag on my side and turning a blind eye to them all. Is this something that cannot be saved by human power? No."
Can't you, your own officers, fight? Why is the captain of the corps? The captain is the centurion. The centurion is the captain, and the captain is the general. I don't believe that you will be worse than this group of drunkards who only know how to run for their lives. Drag them on.
, behead them all.”
"Yes." A group of sergeants rushed in.
"My lord." Fazheng walked up the next step and reached the middle of the tent. He bent down and worshiped: "My lord, if you kill them, Fazheng will also be punished with death."
"What's your crime?" Liu Zhang raised his head and asked.
"As our army's military advisor, Fazheng was unable to see through Xu Shu's long snake formation, which caused all the troops to fall into a dead end. Our army was defeated. The main culprit was Fazheng. If these generals beheaded, Fazheng would be in Lingchi."
"This..." The generals looked at Fazheng. Gao Pei glanced at Fazheng, then looked at Liu Zhang and said loudly: "My lord, you must never kill Mr. Fa."
Although Gao Pei is a rough man, he respects wise people. Especially after listening to the black-faced soldier talking about war recently, he feels that the strategy is profound and profound. Fa Zheng is recognized as the most resourceful person in the Sichuan Army. Of course Gao Pei
Ensure.
Liu Zhang looked at the civil and military people kneeling in the hall, sneered, and wiped the scabbard with his index finger. After a long time, he raised his head and said to the tooth general: "Yan She, how many wives and concubines do you have?"
Yan She was stunned, raised his head and glanced at Liu Zhang. Not knowing why, he murmured in reply: "One wife and two concubines."
"What about you?" Liu Zhang asked the others.
All the generals were confused and reported in various directions.
"One wife and three concubines."
"One wife and one concubine."
"Three concubines and no wife."
"One wife and six concubines."
…………
"One wife and six concubines?" Liu Zhang stood up, walked up to the round-faced bearded general who said he had one wife and six concubines, and said with a smile: "You are quite lucky. Well, just tell me why we men can
How about marrying so many wives and concubines instead of one woman marrying many husbands?”
All the civil and military officials were stunned, Xiao Furong raised her head, a trace of curiosity flashed in her eyes, eager to know the answer.
"It's an ancient custom. It has been like this from ancient times to the present." The bearded general scratched his head and said.
"Wrong." Liu Zhang said loudly: "You said that the custom has been the same from ancient times to the present. Let me tell you that in ancient times, there was a period called matrilineal clan. During that period, one daughter could have multiple husbands, and the husband would live with his wife's family.
, the son takes his mother’s surname.”
"Uh..." The bearded general was speechless, but he didn't know why Liu Zhang was talking about this, but it was related to his own head, so he had to listen carefully.
"Do you know whether the king of ants and bees is a boy or a girl?" Liu Zhang asked again.
"Well..." The bearded head shook like a spring.
"female."
"Well……"
"Do you know why this is the case? Because the mother bees and ants contribute a lot to the entire group. Now do you understand why you can marry one wife and six concubines? Because men are more capable than women, especially in troubled times, weak women are reduced to
Only men with courage can pick them up for wealth, so you picked up seven women."
The generals stared at Liu Zhang.
"But look at each of you." Liu Zhang straightened up, the smile on his face disappeared, and his face was filled with frost, "Do you look like a man now? If it weren't for a woman shouting on the high slope, I'm afraid we would have already
I have fled thousands of miles away, and my head has been lost. I don’t know how many of you will be killed. I don’t know which cave you are hiding in. I don’t know if you have been a martyr or a prisoner. You can still kneel here.
Do you apologize to me? Are you worthy of the number of wives and concubines in your home? For people like you, marrying half a woman is too much."
It was a humorous analogy, but none of the generals could laugh. Comparing men, especially generals, to women is the greatest insult. However, none of these generals had a word to refute. They all lowered their heads, and their beards suppressed their blushes.
No words uttered,
"The reason why men are men is that we have the courage to be unafraid of death. We are the conquerors of this world, conquering women, conquering enemies, and conquering the world. Those men who are not greedy for life and fear of death, those who endure hardships and survive in troubled times, those who
Men who lie on women's bellies and cannot get up, their maleness has long been castrated, they are only different from women in gender, they do not deserve the title of 'men', they can only be called male worms, do you want to be like that?
?”
The generals were awe-inspiring, and the whole tent was silent. A stream of air rose and fell on the bearded chest. After a while, the bearded man raised his head and said loudly: "Lord, please spare my life. I will definitely prove that I am a man. Otherwise,
Otherwise." The bearded man snorted: "Just let my wives and concubines raise men outside."
"ha……"
Several generals just laughed, realized that it did not fit the atmosphere, and immediately shut up.
"If I want to kill you, why do I talk to you so much nonsense? But I hope you will do what you say. What about you?" Liu Zhang turned to the others.
"Thank you so much, Lord, for not killing me. We will definitely die to atone for today's sins."
"Okay, this is the first time, there will be no next time." Liu Zhang turned around, sat back on the main seat, and said to Fa Zheng: "You don't need to be pretentious, tell us our next plan."
"Yes." Fazheng responded. At this moment, a soldier from outside broke in.
"Report to my lord, Liu Biao's envoy is coming to see you."
"Messenger Liu Biao?" Liu Zhang and Fazheng looked at each other and said, "Tell him to come in."
"yes."
A group of generals stood up from the ground and stood on both sides with their swords pressed. They all raised their chests and raised their heads. The envoy was led in by the sergeant. When he saw the formation, his expressions changed several times. He didn't expect that after the battle, the Sichuan army generals would still have such things.
Waiting for the momentum, I couldn't help but frown deeply.
"Li Yan, Sima Li Yan, the adjutant of the army in Jingzhou, met Uncle Liu Huang, the herdsman of Yizhou." The messenger was dressed in a white green robe, his wrists were tightly tied, and he wore a pair of cloth shoes. He did not look like a scribe or a warrior, but looked like a hoeer.
