Chapter 100: Let the soldiers cause chaos and kill
Lu Feng stepped forward and said, "General, if you are late for roll call, if you are a quarter of an hour late, you will be punished with ten rounds of fighting. If you are two quarters of an hour late, you will be punished with twenty rounds of fighting. If you are half an hour late, you will be punished with fifty rounds of fighting. If you are late for more than an hour, you will be punished with death for delaying military operations!"
"Sir, our military department is ultimately not as good as the army, where people work day and night, so it is difficult to implement this reporting. After all, we can't ask the brothers to come and report early in the morning after working all night! However, since you are here, we should be stricter, and I will pass the message on later." Diao Shan stepped forward and said with squinted eyes.
"Well, what Diao Shan said makes sense. Don't worry, I am not an unreasonable person! However, the military department is stationed in the city and has a heavy responsibility. Although we cannot wrongly accuse good people, we cannot corrupt the military system either."
"Zhao Guanglu, Yang Sheng, the two of you were late for less than two quarters of an hour. I will be kind enough to count it as one quarter of an hour, ten. Are you convinced?"
The two of them looked very different. When had they ever lost face like this? But if they wanted to disobey, they were not in the right.
"It's only a fight of ten. It's not worth getting angry about. Let's just accept it first and find a chance another day to save our face!" Yang Sheng said in a low voice, gritting his teeth.
Zhao Guanglu nodded, and then the two soldiers and horses bowed and said, "Please punish me, sir!"
"Ma Chuang, Hou Jing, execute them!"
The two of them immediately went to find water and fire sticks and benches, and called on the sons of the eight dukes and twelve marquises to start fighting. These guys would not hold back and fought with all their might. Only ten hits from the sticks were enough to turn the whole thing into a bloody mess!
After the fight, he kicked these people aside and ignored them! Speaking of these guys, who was not a dandy in Shenjing? Not to mention that they were ordered to do so, even if they didn't like you, they would beat you up. In addition, he had been in the army for two years . Although he was not as good as Jia Cong in charging into the army, he had seen the scene and was used to seeing the dead. His courage was not comparable to before.
Seeing Zhao Guanglu's face full of resentment, Hou Jing walked forward and slapped Zhao Guanglu in the face with a slap.
"Look carefully, young master, I am Hou Jing of Xiuguo Mansion. If you want to cause trouble, don't recognize the wrong door."
Jia Cong just ignored this. These bastards didn't make much progress, but they could be a great help if they were used well. Didn't he see that Zhao Guanglu's original resentment disappeared after he was slapped? Xiuguogong Mansion is still a duke's family, no matter how bad it is. If he could reason with him, it would be fine. But when he met this unreasonable dude, he would just find a way to kill him. Can he still reason with him?
There is a saying that goes, a gentleman can deceive his own people, but these bastards in front of me are definitely not gentlemen.
"Lu Feng, check whether what Qian Huai said is true. If it is true, then it is excusable. If it is not true... you are deceiving your superiors, and your crime is doubled!"
This was easy to verify. The thieves caught by Qian Huai were brought directly to the scene and questioned, and it turned out to be true.
Finally, Jia Cong looked towards Diao Shan, "Diao Shan, when did you arrive?"
Diao Shan's expression changed, and after a while he said, "Master Jia, I just missed the roll call, there is no need to be so upset! I know that Master Jia is an earl and a son of a duke, but the capital city is not controlled by the Ning and Rong mansions. Master Jia, please give me a hand so that we can meet again in the future!"
"Haha!" Jia Cong sneered, "The power and glory of the Ning and Rong mansions were bestowed by the royal family, so they naturally cannot cover up everything! However, my authority was also bestowed by His Majesty. As the head of the military department, can't I investigate the roll call? I asked you when you arrived, and you are talking about the future."
Diao Shan's face showed a fierce look. He hesitated for a moment, then shouted, "I am indeed an hour late. Could it be that Lord Jia still wants to execute me?"
"Is there a reason?"
"Hey! No reason!"
"That's good, it will save me from killing the wrong person! Come, capture Diao Shan for me!"
"Haha, Jia Cong, you are just a young boy. What rights do you have to punish me on my territory?" Now that the relationship has been broken, Diao Shan simply does not leave any room for him. Jia Cong does have some background, but does Diao Shan have no background at all?
"Come here, I want to see who can kill me here!"
With a loud shout, several captains led three or four hundred trusted men from the noisy crowd of soldiers in the rear and rushed up, standing behind Diao Shan.
"Jia Cong, I originally wanted to keep my distance from you. You don't have to bother me. I will also give you a share of the due respect. But now that you don't want this face, don't blame me! From now on, you, the commander of the Five Cities Military Department, will become the commander of the Four Cities Military Department!"
Zhao Guanglu and Yang Sheng both showed a hint of sneer on their faces. It was obvious that they were happy to see Jia Cong make a fool of himself. Moreover, if Diao Shan really defeated Jia Cong today, then they naturally would not have to show any mercy!
Yun Mingliang hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and pulled out the long sword at his waist and led the other subordinates to guard in front of Jia Cong. Qian Huai also pulled out his weapon, "Diao Shan, how dare you rebel?"
"Hmph, Qian Huai, you don't need to butt in on my business. I know you have some background, but I don't bother to care. As for rebelling against my superiors, I naturally don't dare. I just can't stand Jia Cong."
Jia Cong took a few steps forward and walked directly to the edge of the generals' platform. Looking at the arrogant Diao Shan, he said calmly, "You are disrespectful to your superiors and you are gathering troops to cause chaos. What crime should you be punished for?"
"Kill him!" Lu Feng shouted.
"Kill!" Jia Cong shouted.
In an instant, fifty personal guards and the sons of various mansions such as Ma Chuang and Shi Si directly jumped on their horses, and then rushed towards Diao Shan and hundreds of other soldiers without hesitation.
Especially the fifty personal guards including Teng Wu, all of them took the lead. They followed Jia Cong and charged back and forth among tens of thousands of Rakshasas. What's more, there were only a few hundred old soldiers with incomplete armor and disadvantageous weapons?
The young men from various mansions were naturally daring by nature, and knowing that Jia Cong was extremely strict in disciplining his troops, they naturally did not dare to hesitate and immediately rushed forward.
Only Jia Yun and a few other young men in the Jia family did not react at all.
Until the chaotic screams came from below, Jia Yun trembled and drew his long sword, "Let's go, my Jia family's ancestors were commanders on the battlefield. How can the children of the Jia family ! If you have the courage, follow me..."
He also forgot about riding a horse , and just endured the churning in his stomach and rushed forward with gritted teeth! The others hesitated for a moment, and then saw that everyone else was fighting, so they didn't care about anything else and just rushed forward with their heads down and eyes closed. Since we have chosen this path, we can't be afraid of death!
