Hearing this, the servant who was riding a horse beside him said: "Go back to Commander, at noon on the fifth day, depending on the situation, Superintendent Sun should be waiting in a hurry."

"Hahaha!"

Wang Bao wasn't worried at all, instead he just laughed out loud: "Sun Chuanting, he's just a Wen Juren who has been an official for four years, so it's good to show him off!"

The servant also said: "What the commander-in-chief said is that such a new supervisor thinks that he can do whatever he wants with His Majesty's favor, so he should be taught a lesson."

Not long after, a group of people came to the gate of the camp slowly. Sun Chuanting, who received the news, was waiting for a long time with the chief soldiers and generals from various towns.

Sun Chuanting narrowed his eyes and said:

"Marshal Wang is finally willing to come?"

Zhang Wanbang was also waiting here, not saying what was wrong, but mainly because he himself was very upset by waiting, and couldn't help but stepped forward and shouted: "Wang Bao, what's the matter with you?"

"There are soldiers and horses in every town, only you in Jizhou are overdue, and you are overdue for five days!"

Wang Bao smiled awkwardly, dismounted quickly, and said:

"I'm sorry, Zhang Shuai, I met some thieves in Weizhou on the way, fought with them a few times, and sent them here for you to wipe them out."

Zhang Wanbang was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that the Jizhou cavalrymen before the attack were all carrying three or five heads.

"Weizhou?" Without waiting for Zhang Wanbang to say anything, Xu Shouhui, deputy general of Datong, frowned and said, "Are you sure you met the bandits in Weizhou?"

Wang Bao didn't notice the contempt in Xu Shouhui's eyes, and directly threw a head to him, saying:

"Yes, there is a group of bandits gathered in Jiaoshan in Weizhou. I didn't say that Weizhou is under the jurisdiction of some general. I don't know why there are bandits!"

"This time, the commander led the army to pass by, just in time to help you clean up!"

Xu Shouhui looked at the bloody head of a middle-aged man in his hand, and it didn't look like a vicious bandit.

After hearing Wang Bao's words, he was even more furious. He threw his head on the ground and cursed:

"Fuck your mother's fart!"

"Weizhou is under the jurisdiction of Lao Tzu. The bandits have long been cleared by me. There is only one village at the foot of Mount Jiao, and there are no bandits at all. What kind of bandits are you suppressing?"

Having said that, Xu Shouhui smiled coldly:

"Wang Bao, do you know what the crime is for killing a good man?"

"Before the time limit, killing the good and paying off the merits, how dare you slander the bandits in the area under the jurisdiction of the general!"

Indeed, the Datong generals are all aware of Xu Shouhui's abilities.

If anyone had the cleanest jurisdiction, it must be Xu Shouhui.

Xu Shouhui's experience is similar to that of Wang Bao's brother Wang Wei. He was promoted step by step from a small soldier through military exploits. Among the generals in Datong, his prestige is second only to Zhang Wanbang.

Now that Wang Bao slandered Xu Shouhui for banditry, he was the first one to stop defending Han Rong in Weizhou. This matter is related to his political achievements this year.

He stood up and clarified: "I am the garrison of Weizhou, and the roster of Jiaoshan is still in my garrison mansion. There are no bandits in Jiaoshan at all!"

"In my opinion, you are afraid that the supervisor will punish you for the crime of not showing up five days after the due date, and kill the good to reap the merits!"

Chapter 517 Killing Wang Bao First and Then Killing Wang Bao

Sun Chuanting didn't expect things to develop in this direction. This Wang Bao seems to have not enough brains. Whether this kind of thing can offset his overdue crime is not mentioned. Isn't this offending people?

He offended not only one, Xu Shouhui and the generals on Datong East Road were almost all offended by him.

If this is true, the generals and common people in Datong will criticize the Marshal of Jizhou, and Sun Chuanting's heart will be brightened.

Originally, he was thinking of taking the opportunity to kill two people to gain prestige, but he didn't expect that it was a big fish that fell into the net.

"Master!"

Xu Shouhui looked at Sun Chuanting angrily, and said: "You have to be the master of the last general. The bandits in Weizhou have been let me wipe them out. It is a serious crime for Wang Bao to kill someone and make a contribution!"

Sun Chuanting asked lightly: "Wang Bao, are these words just now true?"

Although the development of the situation was somewhat unexpected, Wang Bao was not stupid. If he directly recruited at this time, five heads would not be enough to cut off.

He braced himself up and said with a smile:

"The supervisor is a sensible person. Is there any bandit in any place nowadays? This commander also knows that Xu Zongbing is out of face, but he won't slander me like this?"

Sun Chuanting smiled, but couldn't tell which side he was leaning towards.

"According to Marshal Wang, does it mean that General Xu and Han Shoubei cheated?"

But Wang Bao shook his head and said: "This commander didn't say that, it's just that the two of them made trouble with me out of face!"

"I'm in a good mood today, adults don't remember villains, this is the best thing in the past!"

When Xu Shouhui heard this brazen words, he almost drew his sword.

"You——, you can't make it through!"

"Master, please also send the Supervising Biao Battalion to Jiaoshan, Ulzhou. If the garrison of Yuzhou does not have a list of Jiaoshan farms, or if I see a bandit in Yuzhou, I will kneel down and kowtow to Marshal Wang to admit my mistake!"

When Wang Bao heard it, hehe, this little deputy general of Datong is planning to fight against the commander, so he also stiffened and smiled coldly:

"General Xu, when I was fighting against Donglu in Jizhou, I'm afraid you were still a horse groom. If I said there were bandits in Weizhou, then there were."

"The heads are all here, and the commander-in-chief didn't say it was your fault. Is this thing over yet?"

Faced with the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two, Sun Chuanting really laughed in his heart, but his face was as calm as usual, and he acted as a peacemaker.

"What is going on with this matter, we should send Bendu's standard battalion to Weizhou to find out."

……

Jizhou soldiers marched slowly, so they arrived at Daying from Weizhou on the [-]th. Sun Chuanting sent elite supervisors to the battalion to ride horses and drive, and they arrived at Jiaoshan the next day.

It was afternoon, and the foot of Jiaoshan Mountain had become a piece of scorched earth.

Jizhou soldiers slaughtered an entire village where hundreds of people lived, looted everything and burned it.

The soldiers of the Qin army in the three supervisory battalions were not fools, as they could tell at a glance.

A man led his horse slowly into the village, and at the first sight he saw a big pit full of burnt black corpses, which was shocking.

The three soldiers of the Qin Army looked at each other, the leader hesitated for a moment, his eyes flickered and said:

"This place should have been a village..."

Another person also said.

"Yes, it seems that what General Xu and Han Shoubei said was right. Wang Bao didn't show up five days after the deadline. He knew that he had committed a serious crime, so he committed this act of murder to make up for his merits, intending to get away with it."

"Kill the good and reap the merits..."

A soldier of the Qin army was a little unbelievable, and then he gritted his teeth and said: "The official army is set up to protect the people. How can they attack the unarmed people? Are they still human?"

"Okay, go collect the evidence, do what you have to do, don't say anything unnecessary, there are supervisors, and the emperor, it's not our turn to worry about it."

The boss gave a cold voice and interrupted him.

The three looked up and stepped into the village each.

The village that was once a paradise for the people is now completely ruined, black smoke is rising everywhere, and incinerated bodies are everywhere.

No one could have imagined that they could only see the scene in Liaodong in the past, but now they saw it in the pass, and it was so disgusting.

The closer they got to the big pit, the more they dared not look at it.

They joined the army from Yulin and followed Sun Chuanting from south to north. They claimed to be familiar with this kind of scene, but they obviously overestimated themselves and underestimated the madness of some people.

In front of him was a big pit where the dead were piled up.

There are still a few such big pits at the foot of Jiaoshan Mountain. The most shocking thing is that there are still some newborn children in the pits...

The three Qin soldiers were all trembling.

They didn't know that during the Chongzhen period in history, the world was in chaos, and such scenes were no longer limited to Liaodong, but abounded.

At that time, human life is like grass, and the land of the Central Plains is empty, and the officers and soldiers are played around by the bandits, exhausted, and those who can fight will die one by one.

The rest are people like Jizhou Bing today.

Looking at the children who hugged each other tightly and died in the pit, he clenched his fists, resisted the impulse in his heart, and said bitterly:

"What kind of person is he who doesn't even let his children go."

At this time, a soldier of the Qin Army turned around and said, "General Manager, let's go back, there is no need to go to the Weizhou City Defense Mansion."

"That's right, let's go back to the camp and tell the supervisor what happened at the foot of Mount Jiao!"

General Ba said: "No, the garrison is still going, and I have to go immediately. There is no roster. What evidence is there, based on the three of us?"

The other two looked at each other and nodded.

"Go, go to the defense mansion!"

"In any case, the roster must be obtained!"

……

Two days later, Sun Chuanting tightly held the roster in his hand, and after listening to the three people's report, he asked in a deep voice, "Are you telling the truth?"

The three of them looked at each other, and the boss came forward and said:

"Returning to the supervisor, the subordinates guarantee their lives. There was a village at the foot of Jiaoshan with hundreds of residents. All of them were slaughtered by Jizhou soldiers and horses."

The other two soldiers also said.

"Supervisor, this is killing the good and reaping the merits!"

"There are infants in that pit!"

Xu Shouhui's heart fell to the ground, and he smiled coldly: "Wang Bao, as the chief soldier of Jizhou, did not arrive five days after the deadline, and he killed the good to make up for his meritorious service. The two crimes are punished together, and the crime is to be executed!"

"I also ask the supervisor, Wang Bao, to rectify the law and suppress the three armies!"

The rest of the generals are also aware of the seriousness of this matter, and if those who kill good people for meritorious service are not dealt with properly, the rest of the people are likely to follow suit.

At that time, the officers and soldiers will no longer be able to restrain them, military regulations will become decorations, and the trust of the people in the officers and soldiers will become lower and lower.

When it gets too low, there will be a scene like in history, where Sun Chuanting goes out to fight, but the common people help the bandits.

Once he lost his support, Daming would be finished.

Sun Chuanting slapped the case with his palm, and said angrily: "I pass on the order of the governor, and take Wang Bao, the general officer of Jizhou!"

Wang Bao was imprisoned and stepped forward, but he showed no sign of remorse, and continued to sneer at Sun Chuanting.

"Sun Chuanting, let me tell you, my tens of thousands of troops in Jizhou are just outside the city, you dare to touch me—"

"Move you, what do you dare to do?"

Zhang Wanbang couldn't bear it any longer, stood up and said, "I don't believe it, who else dares to make trouble in Datong City!"

After saying that, he looked around at the generals in Jizhou, and all the people he glanced at bowed their heads or took half a step back. Zhang Wanbang's prestige is not in vain after all.

Zhang Wanbang sat in his original position, snorted coldly, and said:

"I'm going to put my words here today. The chief soldier of Jizhou, Wang Bao, has committed a heinous crime. He deserves to be executed. I don't have a single complaint about how the supervisor will deal with him."

"Anyone who dares to live with the court law, don't blame me for turning my face and denying him!"

Only then did Sun Chuanting get up, looked around at the generals and said:

"Wang Bao, the chief soldier of Jizhou, did not arrive five days after the due date, and killed more than [-] people in Jiaoshan in the territory of Yuzhou to make up his merits. The evidence is conclusive and the crime is unpardonable."

"cut!"

Only then did Wang Bao froze, a little unbelievable.

"Sun Chuanting—"

"Even if you have Shang Fang's sword, but I am the general soldier of Jizhou, commander of the Nine Sides! You have no right to kill me, I want to tell His Majesty directly, and punish you for killing the general soldier without authorization!"

Sun Chuanting knew that he had no right to deal with it.

But now that the hearts of the people are united, if you don't kill this dog, all previous achievements will be wasted, and this Wang Bao is indeed incompetent in military affairs and has committed many crimes, so he should be killed.

However, he had never been a teacher before, so he killed the general first, or if he exceeded his authority, he should be killed first and then act later. If the news spread, someone would definitely make a big fuss.
