Chapter 837 Killing Generals to Establish Prestige

The faces of all the generals paled, and several generals who were lucky enough to participate in the battle to defend Yuzhou all recalled in their minds the knife that Zhao Hanzhang stabbed Prefect Zhang in the heart.

Just as the thought flashed across his mind, Zhao Ming said coldly: "It seems that none of you have thought about it. Fortunately, I have thought about it for you!"

After saying this, he shouted loudly: "Come on, take it down!"

Before he finished speaking, Ping Yi and three guards rushed towards Xun Sheng.

Naturally, Xun Sheng would not sit still and wait for death. While resisting, he shouted loudly: "Zhao Ming is going to rebel, why are you still standing there?"

Xun Ming and other generals reacted after being startled, and immediately stepped forward to stop him. Ping Zhong led the remaining guards forward, with his sword half out of its sheath, and shouted loudly: "Who dares to step forward?"

Song Zhi, Chen Siniang and others also stepped forward with wide eyes and stopped Xun Ming and others, mainly the four generals with foreign surnames, Meng Rui, Yuan Jun and others who were called.

Song Zhi stepped forward and shouted, "Rebellion? Whose rebellion? Don't forget, Yuzhou is the Yuzhou of Governor Zhao!"

He shouted: "General Xun was injured and unconscious. Now County Sheriff Zhao is the person with the highest official position in the army. He is acting in accordance with the law. Who dares to be arrogant!"

Chen Siniang: "I bumped into Governor Zhao. When the governor comes back, I'll take care of their skins!"

General Qiao Shen, who was ordered to come to the rescue from Ruyin County, was standing aside. Hearing this, he immediately crowded forward and said repeatedly: "Don't scream. If word gets out of the main tent, there may be changes in the army."

When Meng Rui and others heard this, they immediately lowered their voices. Even Xun Ming did not dare to act recklessly anymore and could only plead with Zhao Ming, "Zhao County Governor, we did not think carefully about the withdrawal, but the general was injured and the group was leaderless. We were panicked." I have done something wrong, and when the governor comes back, I will definitely apologize."

However, the law does not punish the public, and Zhao Hanzhang always tried to comfort them. As long as Xun Xiu wakes up and pleads for mercy, the consequences will not be serious.

Xun Sheng thought so too, so his resistance became less intense. Ping Yi and three guards quickly pressed him to the ground and tied him up with ropes.

Xun Ming glanced at Xun Sheng, whose hair was disheveled and sweaty, and said hurriedly: "The county guard did a good job in arresting him, but this is the time to employ people, so it is better to let Xun Sheng take advantage of his crime and perform meritorious service."

Zhao Ming ignored them and turned to tell General Qiao, "Go and assemble the three armies. I have something to say to them."

Xun Ming and Meng Rui looked at each other, worried in their hearts. They knew that Zhao Ming wanted to punish Xun Sheng in public, but they didn't know how he wanted to punish him?

According to military orders...

No, he must not dare to follow military orders. This is the Xun family army. Xun Sheng is Xun Xiu's clan brother. At most, he will be demoted after being dismissed.

Xun Sheng thought so too, but that didn't mean he was willing to fight in public, so he struggled hard under Ping Yi's pressure and shouted loudly: "Let me go, this is the Xun family army, you have no right to deal with it." Woo..."

Ping Yi didn't wait for him to finish speaking, casually grabbed a piece of cloth and stuffed it into his mouth to prevent him from spitting it out. He also stuffed it in so hard that Xun Sheng was so disgusted that he almost rolled his eyes.

Xun Ming and others frowned, but when they took a look at Zhao Ming who was sitting by the bed, they didn't say anything and decided to wait until the critical moment to plead for mercy.

The soldiers of the fleeing army were crowded together. There were only dozens of tents in the huge open space, all of which were the residences of the generals.

Therefore, everyone quickly stood up, and the team could not form a team, and the army could not form an army.

Zhao Ming led everyone to the front of the army. When he saw this scene under the afterglow of the setting sun, his expression became even more serious.

Zhao Ming asked people to press Xun Sheng and kneel in front of the army. He did not deal with him immediately, but first talked about the great contributions and honors that Xun Xiu had led them to achieve in the past.

"When Yuzhou fought against the Huns, Governor Zhao praised your army more than once in front of others. It was for this reason that General Xun was promoted to the governor of Yingchuan County. I think you should treat Yuzhou as your hometown just like General Xun. , I would rather die than lose my land;”

"But I didn't expect that General Xun was just injured, and you all were defeated and fled. We clearly knew that Shi's army was coming to attack at night, we clearly ambushed him in the camp, and we successfully repelled it. Why did we still flee?" Zhao Ming asked them angrily, "Is it because Chen County is behind you, not Yingchuan County?"

"But if there is something wrong with Chen County, how can Yingchuan County be left alone? What will happen to your father, brothers, sisters, wives and children then?"

Zhao Ming's questioning spread throughout the three armies, and the panic on the soldiers' faces was gradually replaced by shame and anger.

Zhao Ming glared at them angrily, and after raising his concerns, the general said: "Soldiers, I know that the fault lies not with you, but with the person who falsely passed on the military order, Xun Sheng!"

Zhao Ming suddenly shouted loudly, turned to glare at him, and asked: "General Xun was injured, and I took over as the highest general in the army. Who allowed you to override me and directly order the retreat?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Xun Sheng had a bad premonition. He struggled hard and wanted to speak, but Pingyi pressed his shoulders and gave him no chance to resist.

What Zhao Ming wanted was to establish his authority, not to discuss right or wrong, but to ask him face to face. He did not need to answer, so he directly ordered: "Come here, Xun Sheng privately conveyed the military order, causing the delay of the war, and shall be dealt with according to military law!"

Xun Sheng's eyes widened, he knelt on the ground, shook his head repeatedly, and screamed. He hurriedly looked at Xun Ming.

Several of Xun Ming's generals were also startled and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy. Zhao Ming looked at them coldly and said, "Why, are you also involved in the private transmission of military orders?"

Xun Ming and others felt nervous, lowering their heads and not daring to speak.

Zhao Ming waved his hand, Ping Yi drew his knife, raised it high, and cut off Xun Sheng's head with a single stroke.

The head flew up and rolled to the side. When it stopped, his eyes blinked once, and then widened, with a look of disbelief on his face.

His body twitched twice and fell half-down. Xun Jiajun's heart trembled. General Qiao's face was not good-looking. He glanced at Zhao Ming in fear and lowered his head.

The whole army was silent.

After killing someone and establishing his prestige, Zhao Ming said: "We still have two large armies behind us and have successfully ambushed Shi's army. Therefore, as long as I wait for a turn, I can capture Meng County and join up with Governor Zhao. Everyone can Obey the order!"

Pingyi and Pingzhong immediately knelt down to obey the order. Qiao Shenjiang reacted and knelt down quickly. Meng Rui, Yuan Jun and others also knelt down.

Xun Ming swayed twice, and after being pulled by Meng Rui, he knelt down and said with difficulty: "General, obey your order!"

"Rest immediately, return to the original route, and attack Meng County!"

Zhao Ming didn't give them a chance to act like monsters again. Even if the soldiers were tired after running for a day, he still wanted them to turn around and go back. Even if they only walked ten miles forward, they still had to go.

He even brought the unconscious Xun Xiu with him.

He lay in the car, and Pingzhong took over Xun Xiu's security.

Although Xun Ming can see people, he can no longer do things around Xun Xiu.

After walking back for ten miles, the soldiers were exhausted. Zhao Ming then ordered them to stay and rest. They would continue to drive back at dawn tomorrow. When they returned to Meng County, they heard that Zhao Hanzhang had invaded the county.
