Chapter 109 Dare to be brave
He dared to take the lead, neither quibbling nor hesitating. Xiao Yuan nodded secretly, but on his face he commanded the soldiers and said: "Take it!"
The soldiers dared not hesitate to give his order. Two people immediately stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right, ready to tie Xu Hu.
In front of Xiao Yuan, the prefect, although the latter did not dare to make any excessive moves, he still wanted to resist.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan was immediately furious. He immediately pointed at Xu Hu and shouted sternly: "You are so presumptuous!"
As he spoke, he continued: "Let me ask you whether you are from Qin."
"Yes." Xu Hu returned directly.
"Who is this officer?"
"Qin...the Lord of Qinzhou."
"In that case, how dare you be so disobedient!" Xiao Yuan continued to shout fiercely.
In ancient times, there was no doubt about the power of words. After hearing these words, Xu Hu had no choice but to kneel down, but he still said with a stiff neck:
"Your Majesty governs the Qin Dynasty, treats his people well under the decree, and the people support him. I do the same. I have nothing to say, but I still refuse to accept it!"
"What are you dissatisfied with?" Xiao Yuan frowned and said, "Please explain why."
Xu Hu said: "Your Majesty ordered the recruitment of troops before, but did you say that China will not tolerate foreign enemies?"
"Yes, I have said that, how about it?" Xiao Yuan asked again.
"Did your Excellency say that he would lead the Qin people to regain their lost territory, expel the evil forces, and rebuild their homeland?" Xu Hu asked again.
"Yes, I have this oath." Xiao Yuan nodded.
"In that case, why hasn't your Excellency sent troops for so long? Isn't it just empty words! You are deceiving our people!" Xu Hu said unconvinced.
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan was obviously stunned, and then said a little weirdly: "Just because of this, you kicked down the flag?"
"Yes!" Xu Hu answered simply.
"You idiot!" Xiao Yuan was angry and funny. He couldn't help but pointed at Xu Hu and cursed: "War is not a trivial matter. How can it be a trivial matter? If you don't know the enemy's situation and use troops rashly, you will not care about the life and death of the soldiers! Why?
When the time comes to start a war, you will make your own decision."
"Sir, are you serious about this?" Xu Hu asked again worriedly.
"Nonsense!" Xiao Yuan said: "There is no doubt about my determination to retreat to Xirong and regain the twelve cities!"
"Then... Your Excellency, you won't be like the previous prefect, right?"
"Do you see my portrait?" Xiao Yuan glanced at Xu Hu angrily.
The latter immediately shook his head and said directly: "It's not like that."
His character is undoubtedly lovely.
Xiao Yuan laughed angrily at him again. After nodding, he asked deliberately: "Then you said, you kicked down the flag of our army. What should we do now?"
Hearing this, Xu Hu didn't even hesitate and said directly in a loud voice: "Having received your answer, I am willing to accept the military law!"
"Good!" Xiao Yuan couldn't help but secretly praise again, feeling very happy in his heart. He undoubtedly had a love for talents. Although he didn't want to and didn't want to cure Xu Hu's sins, it was impossible not to cure him.
He immediately said: "Pull it down! I will punish you with sixty military sticks! This will be recorded as a major demerit!"
"Sir." But at this time, Peng Shuang stood up, clasped his fists and said, "This man is just anxious and wants to kill the enemy on the battlefield. His circumstances are excusable. I hope you will forgive me."
Unexpectedly, he had a fierce fight with Xu Hu just now, but now he stood up to intercede for him.
Obviously, after knowing the reason, he had a new appreciation for Xu Hu.
Xu Hu was slightly stunned, and then looked at Peng Shuang gratefully.
But Xiao Yuan said directly: "You are not allowed to plead for mercy! This man is doing nothing! If he is not severely punished, where is the military law? Hold on!"
"Promise!" He ordered solemnly, and the two soldiers beside Xu Hu immediately responded, then pulled him away, one to the left and the other to the right.
This time, Xu Hu did not resist. After being dragged down, he was quickly pushed to the ground, followed by heavy military sticks.
In the army, the big stick hit the body, but the stick touched the flesh, and ordinary people had to howl at the top of their lungs, but Xu Hu gritted his teeth and refused to make a sound.
Seeing this situation, the soldiers around him grinned secretly.
Shangguan Wenruo stood next to Xiao Yuan and couldn't help but said: "Sir, if this person goes through a lot of hard work, he can be regarded as a tiger general."
"Well..." Xiao Yuan nodded, glanced at him and said: "This man is brave, not inferior to Peng Shuang. I didn't expect that such a person would appear in a small infantry. God help me."
Shangguan Wenruo smiled slightly, and then said: "In addition, after this incident, it is not difficult to see that our soldiers are eager to fight. It can be said that their morale is like a rainbow. Everyone wants to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. This is a good thing, sir."
"That's right, there's nothing to say about the morale of our army. It's just that the training of the new army will take time." Xiao Yuan stood there, looked at him with a cold face for a while, and then left.
But that night, he personally went to the camp where Xu Hu was located.
At this moment, Xu Hu was lying on the bed, and the military doctor had already applied medicine to him.
"Sir?" Seeing Xiao Yuan, Xu Hu first showed an incredulous expression, and then forcibly stood up to salute.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and asked with a smile: "How is it? Military law is not easy to bear, isn't it?"
"As long as your Excellency can lead my people, Lao Qin, to drive away the Xirong traitors, not to mention sixty army sticks, Xu Hu's head can be severed," Xu Hu said.
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said: "You can rest in peace and recuperate. I can assure you that we will drive away the Xirong and protect our Qin land."
The reason Xu Hu was acting like this was because he wanted to know whether the battle would be won or not. Now that Xiao Yuan was determined, he couldn't help but asked cautiously: "Sir, Xu Hu was reckless before and almost committed the following crime. Aren't you angry?"
"What do you think?" Xiao Yuan deliberately kept a straight face, but in fact he didn't mean to be angry. Now that he discovered someone like Xu Hu, it was too late for him to be happy!
"Hey, it's all my rudeness, don't blame me." Xu Hu smiled innocently and scratched his head, seeming to have forgotten the pain on his body.
"Okay." Xiao Yuan glanced at him with a smile and said, "If you have any requests while you are recovering from your injuries, please feel free to ask me."
"Really, sir?" After hearing this, Xu Hu immediately became energetic and blurted out: "It would be great if we had wine to drink!"
Xiao Yuan shook his head dumbfounded: "You are injured, how can you drink?"
"Sir, this little injury is nothing, as long as you have wine!" Xu Hu said, and was about to forcefully turn over, but the injury was affected, and it hurt so much that he couldn't help grinning.
"Okay, okay, lie down quickly." Xiao Yuan quickly pressed him down again.
Afterwards, I chatted with him for a while, talking about everything in the world.
