Seven days later, a row of more than a dozen wooden frames taller than a person were erected at the main entrance of the garrison camp in the city. The hour of the hour had just arrived, and the first sun was slightly slanting, illuminating the four distinct waves of people in front of the camp.

White Ou was dressed in the gorgeous and delicate purple gold armor of the great general who was even a bit ostentatious. Standing among the guards brought by him, he was outstanding and looked down upon the audience.

And the group of imperial guards he brought with him were dressed in the unified Habayashi Imperial Guard armor.

The outer circle of the wooden frame is also a group of young officers with bright armor. They are the low-ranking generals of the garrison camp, the so-called descendants of the family;

Further outside, on the inner side of the camp, the "core" of the garrison composed of refugees and grass bandits stretched their necks from a distance and looked towards the direction of the wooden frame. The people gathered were not too many, and they didn't dare to get closer.

Outside the gate of the camp, there was a huge crowd of people waiting to watch.

It is not easy to gather this group of people within seven days.

When the first notice was posted, Chen Bang didn't receive any complaints from anyone who came to his door for two or three days. He felt like the blind fortune-teller at the roadside stall. His business was deserted and his eyes were darkened.

Until a few days later, the relatives of the judge in the waiting city rushed to hold the funeral. The place in the waiting city is not big, and the news spread quickly——

The nephew of the judge of the city, the captain of the garrison camp, was killed by the newly appointed general of the garrison. The reason was that he robbed the women of the people, but no one dared to stand up. This new general must not be simple!

At this point, speculation about the white gull spread throughout the city. Some said that he was ten feet tall and shaped like a Kuafu, and he tore the captain in half with his bare hands; He is the kind of white-browed old man who has mastered one hundred and eight torture methods secreted by the court.

When the news reached Bai Ou's ears, he laughed so hard that he almost fell off his chair; Chen An worriedly reminded him: "After all, it's detrimental to your dignity, so why don't you come forward to refute the rumors?"

Bai Gu waved his hand, only saying that we will see the outcome in seven days.

It doesn't matter what kind of image he is as a white gull, anyway, he doesn't stay in the city to ask for a wife, he always lets people know how to write the word "fear", and the goal is achieved.

Those dandies in the garrison in the city of Dai took advantage of their status to roam around the city, plundering, smashing and looting; but because of the prosperity of the city, the common people were not forced to the point where they could not live. , People always don't fight with officials, so they have endured until today.

Now there was an amazing and mysterious general leading the battle, and then there was the school captain who dared not speak up after being dealt with as an example. Among the people who received grievances, there were always those who had been wronged, and they couldn't help but began to report secretly.

Once the hole was torn open, everyone saw that the people around them went to complain and came back without any retaliation, so they slowly built up their courage. Soon, Chen Bang received the complaint and the stack of papers was higher than people.

Finally, after seven days, people rushed to the gate of the camp in anger, partly because they wanted to see what happened to those dudes who had been doing evil for many years, and more because they were curious about whether the general was "Kuafu" or "insider". ...

The general was dressed in purple gold armor, young and straight, with a handsome appearance, which was quite different from the rumors.

The crowd couldn't help but commotion and whispering.

"General, what are we going to do?" Chen An felt uneasy, "The imperial guards have arrested so many people, and they have to send people to guard them. There are only a limited number of people who can be assigned to maintain order on the scene. This...don't make a fuss. Is there going to be trouble?"

"No." Bai Gu glanced at the row of wooden frames, and then looked at the crowd not far away, "They will know 'scared' immediately."

"The general is going to scare the people in the city this time?" Chen An was puzzled.

"No, that's not enough." White Gull explained.

He not only wants to "fear", but also "respect".

Just as Yang Xing said that day, waiting for the border gate of the city, the interpersonal relationship is complicated, and the relationship with the Beiyin village outside the city is inextricably linked. Existed for many years.

For Shang Ning, the people outside the city are the people from Beiyin who are covetous, but for the people in the city, the outside of the city may be their close relatives.

If they can't let them out, one day the Beiyin people will call at the door, and no one knows whether the soldiers outside the city will fight bloody battles to protect the people waiting in the city, will they turn around and quietly open the city for the Beiyin people? Door.

It is really impossible to expect them to use such things as national or national pride and cohesion to defend a city. I can only tell them naked and straightforward to make them believe that the city you live in will be the best city— —

People will truly protect their homes.

"The general has great insight—" Chen An gave a deep bow to Bai Ou, "This official is really ashamed."

"No need, no need..." Bai Ou waved his hand awkwardly, looked up at Tianguang, "I've almost waited, tell Chen Bang, when the time comes, execute the execution on time."

Soon, Chen Bang led the imperial guards and escorted rows of garrisons who committed crimes to the wooden frame, and some people among the people began to spit in the direction of the wooden frame.

As soon as Chen Bang gave an order, the garrison who committed the crime were stripped of their shirts, and tied one by one to a wooden frame with hemp rope, forming a big font.

The crowd began to quiet down, casting curious glances.

Chen Bang stood beside Bai Ou, and after being instructed by Bai Ou's eyes, he said loudly——

"In the name of tax collection, cleverly set up a name, threatened and coerced, and asked for extra money from merchants and vendors. According to the new wartime military regulations of the garrison, each person will be whipped twenty times. The time has come to execute!"

The imperial guards got the order, raised their whips and lowered their hands. The howling of pain soon filled everyone's ears, and the blood stained everyone's eyes.

"General..." Chen An, a first-class civil servant, had never seen such a scene before, and he was too frightened to look away, "This... the remaining low-ranking officers were almost caught by Chen Bang. who will do it?"

"You still expect them to do something?" Bai Gu shook his head, "I'm afraid I didn't send it far enough!"

Chen An looked up suspiciously, "What does the general mean?"

"This group of gentry children and low-ranking officers, those who committed crimes were whipped, those who were wounded and maimed were loaded into prison cars, and the remaining half who did not commit crimes were sent to Yongcheng and sent to Xiang Xingyan."

Bai Gu sneered slightly, with a fierce look in his eyes, "The empress dowager gave me such a big 'favor', how could I not return a big gift?"

In order to rule and suppress such a large number of vagrants and grassroots bandits, it is necessary to recruit some so-called flattering villains who "know the current affairs" to do things for themselves. Therefore, among the low-ranking officers, no matter whether they committed crimes or were of noble origin, one counts as one. All the gulls were not prepared to stay.

"After sending them away, the seats will be filled by our people." He continued to order: "They saw that the number of guards was several times that of us. In fact, the work done by three people may not be too much One of the imperial guards, all of them are redundant personnel born to give those family dandies a place to go."

"General—" Chen An worried: "You are openly provoking Xiang Xingyan and the empress dowager behind him."

"So what? It's not the first time." As long as Bai Ou thinks of what Zhou Zheling did to Li Yu in the palace, his teeth itch with hatred. "Now I can only rely on me to stay in the city. If they have other It’s not my turn to do this job.”

Therefore, until the city is safe, he, the white gull, will be safe.

"Besides, Xiang Xingyan took a group of people away, and the ones left behind, just like the captain whose neck I wiped before, are definitely not important players. Xiang Xingyan will not turn against me for these low-level nobles .”

"Don't be afraid." He patted Chen An on the shoulder, "No matter what happens, I will take care of it."

He can bear the pain and tiredness, but if this group of people stays by his side, even if he is forced to be intimidated and dare not add chaos behind him at will, when the battle starts in the future, this group of young masters will retreat tremblingly in front of the battle——

Just shaking the morale of the army is enough to kill.

If this can't be sold.

"The general is worried." Chen An nodded thoughtfully, "But in this way..."

"It's full of fights, and there are less than [-] soldiers left in the garrison. Except for the logistics engineers, there are only [-] people who can go to the battlefield..." He glanced at the group of refugee soldiers in the camp who were numb and cowering, and sighed: "It's still..."

Bai Ou also glanced at Chen An's gaze.

Indeed, they are the lowest level of refugees——

They have been subject to high pressure and control all year round, and they are timid and fearful; they have no culture and no decent training; they have no national righteousness in their hearts, and some people even discarded the concept of right and wrong in order to live.

The white gull looked at their numb eyes. It was their former chief who was being tortured in front of them, but no one showed any mercy; if one day went to the battlefield, would they have their own general in their eyes?

But it is precisely the same kind of people, because they are timid, they will remember the bloody lessons in front of them for the rest of their lives, and never dare to take chances; ——

Rather than building these illusory things, these poor people will be more tenacious than anyone else in order to survive.

"I don't need them to fight for this country, for His Majesty, for the court, or for me—" Bai Gu said in a deep voice, his eyes gradually became firmer, "Just let them understand that they are fighting for themselves, for their closest relatives." A fight for my favorite family, a fight for a good life—”

"They will be invincible!"

They don't have as many complicated considerations as the nobles of the family, as long as they believe that after this battle, as long as they live, they will live better; jackals with their tails between their legs will become tigers out of the cage.

"General..." Chen An's eyes were unbelievable. He was surprised by Bai Ou's straightforward analysis and understanding of human nature, "How...how did you think of this..."

Reading history makes one wise.

The idle history professor has seen too many changing histories. Although everything about the Shangning Dynasty tells him that history books cannot be trusted, but the arrow is on the line, and he must take a gamble.

"I read it in the book." He said indifferently, "It's no big deal..."

"Then general, one day when the tiger comes out of the cage, can we still restrain it?"

This is Chen An's last question. After all, there are refugees and bandits in that group of people. Once the military achievements are made, they may be a new generation of soldiers and hooligans.

Bai Gu turned around silently and saw that Chen Bang had replaced a new batch of soldiers to carry out the execution. The crimes became more serious and the scene became more bloody as the time went on.

According to the military laws of this dynasty, soldiers from all over the world who committed crimes were punished with a cane, but he specially ordered a wooden frame to be built and changed the punishment of whipping.

The visual impact of the skin and flesh is more memorable for everyone.

He wants to dispel the resentment of the people outside the camp, and he also wants to teach his future soldiers in the camp a lesson.

"The bloody scene today will be the shackles on the necks of the 'tigers' in the future, and the fear in their bones."

The execution scene didn't end until evening, and doctors and doctors accompanying the army were arranged beside the wooden frame. After debridement and bandaging, the offenders were loaded into the prison van and escorted by other low-ranking officers and colleagues who had been temporarily out of the way that Baiou had arranged before. Sent to Yongcheng overnight.

Chen Bang directly served as a military judge in the garrison camp. He has a reputation for being ruthless and selfless in handling many military deception cases in the city before, and he also has the majesty of the execution scene during the day, which is enough to deter the remaining soldiers.

Eight days after arriving in the city, Bai Gu finally organized a relatively clean army with less than [-] people.

People inside and outside are at ease, and the rest is how to train this team as soon as possible.

Although this was not something he was good at, among the 2000 people that Li Yu gave him, there were many outstanding people. These confidantes also took office immediately, filling the vacancies of various officers under him in the military camp in the waiting city.

When all the dust settled, the night was dark.

In addition to the watchtower, the highest place in the camp is a leafless poplar tree. At this moment, the white gull has climbed up the branch and leaned on it; the lip is the small leaf privet he picked deliberately. A leaf that came down.

It's still a song that no one can understand.

*****

At the same time, in the bedroom of Guangming Palace, Xiao Yao had just skipped the night to retrieve the letter sent by Chen Yu. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Li Yu huddled in a corner of the dragon couch, sweating profusely.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty—" He woke people up softly, "Are you being haunted by nightmares again?"

Li Yu opened his eyes and felt relieved when he saw Xiao Yao.

He just dreamed about old things, and after so many years, he is almost used to it, as long as it is not the scene he fears the most.

"It's okay." He panted heavily, and saw the envelope in Xiao Yao's hand, "Chen Xuan has any news for me?"

Xiao Yao smiled, "It's a letter from the city."

Li Yu turned over and sat up and grabbed the envelope, his hands trembling.

The words "His Majesty" on the envelope are so ugly——

It's his brother Baiou.

In that absurd night before, the white gull ran away, and they never saw each other again, not a single word was left behind.

In the letter to Bai Gu last time, he didn't dare to say a single word, for fear of disturbing Bai Gu's mind, and fearing that Bai Gu hadn't really accepted him yet——

Only a fallen ginkgo yellow leaf expressed his heartfelt sorrow for him.

He didn't know if the white gull could understand it, or if he understood it, he just pretended not to see it...

At this moment, holding Bai Gu's letter, he still felt the bridge of his nose sore.

Fearing that the letter inside would be accidentally torn, he walked tremblingly to the side of the small case, found a small dagger and opened the envelope, opened it, but was disappointed——

The handwriting is neat, and it looks like Chen An's handwriting.

He didn't dare to write a word to Bai Gu, so Bai Gu didn't leave him a word.

After browsing the contents of the letter paper, he casually handed the letter paper to Xiao Yao, "Find a place where no one is around and burn it."

When Xiao Yao received the letter before, he rushed back to Guangming Palace in a hurry. He also recognized the handwriting of Bai Gu on the envelope. He only hoped that this letter could make the emperor who had suffered from insomnia sleep for a few days. An Shengjue.

But when the letter was finally delivered to Li Yu, he watched Li Yu's face change from joy to disappointment...

"Your Majesty—" he said worriedly, "Did something happen in the city?"

"No, it's just a normal report of safety." Li Yu didn't want to say more, "You go and deal with the letter paper."

"Then..." Xiao Yao stared in embarrassment at the envelope that Li Yu was holding tightly in his hand.

"Can't I keep it!" Li Yu was so angry at Xiao Yao, he realized that he had overreacted, and then whispered: "There is nothing written on it..."

But those were Bai Gu's words, the only four words given to him.

His voice was extremely aggrieved.

Xiao Yao didn't say another word, just stood aside respectfully with his head bowed.

Li Yu clutched the envelope to his chest, and reluctantly handed it to Xiao Yao after a long time.

He reluctantly stretched out his hand, Xiao Yao was about to take it with both hands, but he took it back.

Xiao Yao spread his hands respectfully, watching Li Yu's trembling hand holding the envelope, back and forth several times, and finally dropped the envelope on the ground.

Both of them immediately bowed to pick it up, but they saw a corner of a yellow leaf protruding from the envelope.

"Your Majesty—" Xiao Yao picked up the envelope, "What is this?"

leaf?

Li Yu took out the yellow ginkgo leaf from the envelope, which looked exactly like the one he sent to Bai Gu.

He just felt a thrill in his heart.

This is the white gull who wants to tell himself that he doesn't accept his wishes?

But the yellow leaf has obvious creases——

That is the habit of White Gull playing.

His brother Baiou must have something to say to him.

"It's just a leaf, can I keep it?" He raised his head and said to Xiao Yao, "You go and deal with the other things first."

He turned on the candle in front of the desk, carefully looked at the ginkgo leaf, held it in his hand and pondered it carefully, and finally found something strange.

Fingertips across the surface of yellow leaves are not the normal smooth touch, nor are they wrinkled after dehydration and withering.

He carefully groped for the direction of the marks on the leaf, which seemed to be carved by humans, but he didn't know what the white gull wanted to say to him.

This letter has changed hands several times along the way, and it has to be sent to Chen Yu's mansion first, lest others will see it before I see it.

The white gull was so careful to pass on the message to himself, could it be some kind of whisper between the two of them?

This thought made Li Yu blush again.

He studied the dry ink in the inkstone, carefully daubed it on the leaves, and the handwriting finally emerged, only three simple and crooked characters——

Take less medicine.

It's the white gull's handwriting, that's right.

Li Yu's eyes turned red instantly.

He could see that there was another sentence after those three words, which was quietly hidden by the white gull in the crease of the leaves——

"Take less medicine, I'll play a tune to accompany you to sleep."

On the leafless poplar tree, there is a song that no one can understand, which only belongs to Baiou and Li Yu; it rides the wind and floats all the way from the military camp where the city is stationed to the Guangming Palace in Jiangning City.

The author has something to say: the romance of a stupid straight man has been revealed, if it is not romantic enough, then Bai Ou must be too stupid a straight man, don't blame me! ! !

The next war is about to start, and I will fulfill what I said before. Xiaogong will break through the psychological fear at the edge of life and death, and the relationship line will also advance by leaps and bounds!The secret of the little emperor's dream will also be revealed! ! !
