Chapter Thirty-nine Reorganization
On the same day, Liu Chang took Zhang Fei and others and set off for Tang County.
Along the way, they could meet refugees who had escaped from Jizhou from time to time. They watched carefully as Liu Chang led the team passing by, and carefully avoided the team.
Zhang Fei asked in confusion: "Why don't they join the Great Master? They don't look like landlords or rich people."
Liu Chang looked at the luggage that many of them had with them, and said: "These people are not those who cannot afford to eat, and they cannot risk everything to vent their anger, so they will become the targets of the anger. Since
If you can’t join, you have no choice but to escape.”
While talking, there was a commotion behind the team. Liu Chang said to Zhang Fei: "Let's go over and take a look."
The two of them rode over and saw a wailing man pulling the soldiers in the team. Seeing a man wearing armor and riding a horse coming over, the man suddenly sat down on the ground, holding his hands
The one who beat the ground cried loudly.
Liu Chang stopped his horse and asked: "What happened here?"
Hearing Liu Chang's question, a soldier next to him immediately stood up straight and said: "This man just saw the bulging package he was carrying and snatched it away, and a tug broke out."
After hearing this, Liu Chang said sternly: "According to military law, anyone who does not obey orders during the march and plunders at will will be beheaded. If someone comes, he will be beheaded."
As soon as he finished speaking, two strong men who were following Liu Chang came out. They first dragged the soldiers who had looted property to the roadside, and then pushed them to the ground. A man waiting by the roadside pulled out the
He killed him with a machete. Liu Chang picked up the package that was thrown on the ground and handed it to the man sitting on the ground. He said in a gentle tone as much as possible: "Please take inventory of your things."
The man took the package and immediately lay on the ground and kowtowed to Liu Chang.
Liu Chang asked the soldiers around him: "Who is responsible for this part?"
Bai Rao leaned out from behind Liu Chang and said: "I am responsible for this part."
Liu Chang said angrily: "Didn't you emphasize the military order to them?"
Bai Rao quickly explained: "I've said it all, but these people are just local rangers, thieves living in the mountains. They all came to join the gang after hearing that we were powerful. So they don't care about military orders at all."
Liu Chang turned around and glanced at him and said: "There are not so many reasons. There is a problem on your part. You did not arrive in time to deal with it. You cannot restrain your subordinates from obeying military orders. You are also responsible. Go and get a few whips yourself."<
/p>
Bai Rao shouted loudly: "Nuo." Then he retreated.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Chang shouted loudly to the team: "What I am trying to do is not to bully others at will. I can do this, but you can't do it? Some of you are just being bullied by others.
You bullied me until you couldn't eat and you came to me, so now you can't use the same method to repay others. There are also people who came to me to do something because they heard that I am powerful here, so we have to think about it.
Looking ahead, since we want to do something, we cannot remain bandits. From now on, anyone who disobeys military orders will be killed!"
After handling these matters, the two led the team forward again.
Zhang Fei asked: "Is the handling a bit too harsh? What if the incident spreads and heroes from all over the world stop coming to seek refuge with us?"
Liu Chang said calmly: "In troubled times, we will not always be thieves and bandits if we use heavy code. But if the team is in chaos, we will not be able to change it. When Tang County is captured, those who heard that we are powerful and come to join us will be killed."
Pull them all out and form separate formations. Since they are all ruthless characters, they have to do some desperate tasks. The core of the army is built with those people who can obey orders."
Zhang Fei said: "I think all of these people are familiar with guns and clubs, but they are all good players. Isn't it a pity to do this?"
Liu Chang continued to explain to Zhang Fei: "It is easy to smash things, but it is very difficult to build things. If you indulge your subordinates needlessly, you will become less and less able to control them. If you destroy the old order, you will definitely
We must build a new order instead of replacing order with chaos. This will be the reason for the failure of the Great Master. So we must first let ourselves have a set of order." Liu Chang paused and said: "That's it.
I wonder if these experts who are skilled with guns and sticks have the courage to die. Don’t lose their momentum as soon as they go to the battlefield and fight for their lives.”
The team marched until night and set up camp on a flat place.
Liu Chang went to Bai Rao with ointment to treat wounds.
As soon as he pushed open the tent, he saw Bai Rao lying on a mat with a bandage on his body.
Liu Chang put the ointment in front of him and asked, "Do you need me to apply some medicine for you?"
Bai Rao saw Liu Chang arriving: "Brother Liu is here to visit, but I'm injured, so I won't get up to salute."
Liu Chang said nonchalantly: "It's okay, just lie down like this."
Bai Rao said no more words.
Liu Chang continued: "You may be a little resentful to me for what happened today, but you have to know that I did this for all of us. Just killing one soldier who committed the crime without punishing his commander will not convince people. We
It took a lot of effort to go from just a few people to where we are today.”
Bai Rao said to Liu Chang: "I don't resent Brother Liu, I just feel that I can't kill my men just because of a refugee on the road."
Liu Chang explained to Bai Rao: "It was not the refugees but the military law who killed him, it was him. If he wanted property, he should fight bravely in accordance with our military laws. Instead of breaking the military laws and grabbing them at will. If he wants property, he should fight bravely in accordance with our military laws. Instead of breaking the military laws and grabbing them at will. If he wants property, he should fight bravely.
If we can destroy discipline, how can we lead others to fight?"
Bai Rao said: "Although I don't quite understand what Brother Liu said, I know that what Brother Liu said is right. Brother Liu is always right, but I actually have a good relationship with him."
Liu Chang stared into his eyes and said: "Then he was killed by you. If you could have corrected him the first time he made a mistake instead of indulging him because of your friendship, what happened today would not have happened."
It happened."
This reasoning made Bai Rao speechless for a long time, and he lowered his head silently to listen to Liu Chang's words. Seeing this, Liu Chang didn't say anything more: "You should think about it carefully here, and I will leave first."
Liu Chang walked out of Bai Luo's place and saw Zhang Fei standing outside waiting for him.
"Brother Liu, how is he? There is resentment in his heart."
"It seems that there is still something. He hasn't figured out many things. In fact, many of us here don't understand why I didn't go plundering. Obviously, as long as we release the soldiers and horses in Liwu County and Dingzhou, we can quickly
Received a lot of money, food, and jewelry."
"I know everything Brother Liu does is for a reason. Brother Liu, please go and rest first. I'll go see him."
