But Ma Su couldn't care less about appeasing the Qiang girls at the moment.
The top priority at the moment is to eliminate the hidden danger of the leaders of the five tribes disobeying the rule.
What should we do? Ma Su paced a little, frowning and thinking.
Three strategies quickly came to mind.
The best policy is to rule with iron blood. Capture and kill all disobedient commanders as a warning to others. Implement a high-pressure rule in which those who obey me will prosper and those who disobey me will perish.
The advantage of doing this is that it is quick, and all the thorns can be settled in less than half a day without any objections.
The disadvantage is that under the white terror, the Qiang people may be dissatisfied verbally and mentally, and the hidden dangers will be hidden deeper.
The middle strategy is to divide and win over, pull three against two, separate the five leaders, and treat them differently. Unite those who can be united, replace (kill) those who are stubborn, and find another suitable person to take over.
The advantage of doing this is that it is stable and can control Xian Lingqiang deeply, just like Ma Su controls Axiu, very deep, very deep.
The disadvantage is that it is a bit time-consuming and troublesome, and three days may not be enough.
The next best option is to retreat openly but to advance. That is to declare to the outside world that the Shu army has no intention of controlling the Xianling Qiang, and the Qiang king is handed over to Axiu, while Ma Su secretly controls Axiu, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the Xianling Qiang.
The advantage of doing this is that it is more concealed, the method is gentler, and it is easier to be accepted by others; the disadvantage is that once something happens to A Xiu, Xian Ling Qiang will be out of control.
"The upper policy is too tight, preventing people from advancing or retreating freely; the lower policy is too loose, and it can easily lead to a dilemma where one side has been busy for a long time, but there is no response from the other side - that is, after the Shu army's instructions were issued, there was no movement at all.
"The middle strategy is neither tight nor loose, and can be used with ease. Both sides can accommodate each other's edges and corners, and also leave corresponding room for advancement and retreat... Then let's use the middle strategy..." Ma Su nodded, made up his mind, and immediately went to invite the five assassins.
Head (leader).
The reception venue was chosen to be the reception room of the courtyard.
There were six people accompanying him: Axiu, Zhao Yun, Qiang Nu, Zhang Xiu, Egu'er, and Hezhi Meng.
Ma Su sat high on the throne, Axiu sat on his left hand, Qiang girl sat on his right hand, Zhao Yun and other four people stood two on each side in front of the case, holding swords in their hands, with serious faces.
In addition, there were two rows of majestic soldiers, holding red tasseled spears, lined up on both sides of the hall. The bottoms of their spears and sticks kept hitting the ground, and everyone shouted in unison:
"mighty……"
"quiet……"
It's very similar to the three-court trial.
The "criminals" are the five upcoming thorns.
Taking the gavel that Zhang Xiu thoughtfully handed over, Ma Su suddenly felt the heroic aura of "There is Ma Qingtian in Xiqiang, who is selfless in the world, the great witch and A Xiu come to help, Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu are by his side", and he felt
However, it was born.
After a while, the commander-in-chief Dangtu was the first to take a slightly bold step, folded his arms, and walked in proudly with two soldiers.
When he saw the posture in the lobby clearly, his heart suddenly shuddered, and he secretly said, "This person is not a good person." He raised his hands and said, "I have met the princess, and I have met your lord."
Snapped--
Ma Su slapped the gavel tree hard and said with a fierce face: "Who are you? Why don't you kneel down when you see me?!"
"Come here, give him eighty sticks, and give him a long memory!"
Eight…eighty?
Dangtu panicked immediately and quickly bowed and said: "Sir, please calm down, Dangtu has seen you."
Calm down?
This anger cannot be quelled!
You were the guy who suggested expelling me, I remember it very clearly. Ma Su said with a stern face, "Hit me!"
Seeing this, two of Dangtu's guards drew their swords from their sheaths and were about to protect Dangtu from escaping, but Zhang Xiu slashed them one by one and hacked them to death on the spot.
The ground was bloody.
Then a group of soldiers acting as yamen officials pressed Dangtu to the ground and started beating him.
In an instant, the sound of the stick hitting the skin became dense and intense.
Ma Su's ears itched when he heard this, and he rolled his eyes and glanced at A Xiu, just in time to meet the latter's shy gaze.
He blinked meaningfully and turned to look at the Qiang girl.
No, general, what do you think Xiao Wu is doing? Your eyes are so strange...
The Qiang girl looked back in response, her bright eyes as clear as water full of confusion.
A piece of white paper, defeated with one blow, humming Ma Su raised his eyebrows, turned around, and shouted to the audience: "You dare to act like Tu, do you know your guilt?"
"I know my crime, I know my crime, I know my crime, my lord, don't fight me... I'll attack you, I'll attack you..." When the painting was in the shape of a "big" character, he lay dying on the ground and said weakly.
Ma Su nodded slightly: "Very good, please tell me in detail, what crimes have you committed?"
"It should be noted that in court, there will be leniency for those who confess and severity for those who resist. As long as you honestly explain all the crimes you have committed, you will be fine. But if you respond with false words, if you say nothing, you will be punished eighty times!
"
"..."
Dangtu looked around with a sad face, but didn't see any other commanders there, and felt a little relieved.
In order not to suffer the 80-year-old ban again, he had no choice but to say:
"The villain is guilty. He shouldn't have peeped at Dang He's sister taking a bath when she was seven years old..."
"The villain is guilty. He shouldn't have stolen the neighbor's sheep when he was eight years old, roasted it and ate it, and then planted it on Angelica..."
"The villain is guilty. He should not have made a lifelong secret with Dang Kun's sister when he was twelve years old, and secretly tasted..."
"The villain is guilty. He should not have dragged his younger sister to the woods when he was fifteen years old..."
"The villain is guilty. He should not always have a crush on the princess..."
"The villain is guilty and should not have evil intentions towards the great wizard..."
"The villain is guilty..."
…
"That's enough!" Just as Dangtu was confessing his crimes, the other four commanders also walked in, staring at him with wide eyes, gritting their teeth and clenching their fists, filled with indignation.
None of them expected that the usually sanctimonious Dangtu would turn out to be this kind of person!
"Wow, my sister was only six years old back then, and you didn't let her go. Dangtu, you beast! Beast! I'll kill you!" The third commander, Dang He, was so angry that he drew out his knife and pretended to chop Dangtu to death.
However, Zhao Yun raised his hand to stop him.
The second commander Danggui suddenly raised his leg and kicked Dangtu, scolding: "Beast! It turned out that you were responsible for stealing the sheep... I was hung up and beaten by the neighbor for a whole day, and the whip marks are still there on my body.
!”
Seeing that he wanted to beat Dangtu, Hezhi rushed forward and grabbed Dangtu.
The fourth commander, Dang Kun, was so angry that he gave Dang Tu a handle before he could draw out the knife. He said angrily: "Scum, let me tell you why my lively and lovely sister suddenly committed suicide out of mind. It turns out that the murderer is you! I want to chop him up.
If I kill you, I will chop you up! No one can stop me..."
Zhang Xiu quickly hugged him and dragged him back, fearing that he would kill him with a single blow.
The case has not been tried yet, the general has not spoken yet, and the prisoner cannot die yet.
The fifth commander stared at Dangtu with hatred and said word by word: "I have always wondered that there was something fishy about my sister who suddenly fell into a trance when she was fifteen years old. She slipped and fell from the cliff while herding sheep...
It's your feelings that are causing trouble, you traitor! You will die!"
Pfft...
A sharp blade passed by, and Dangtu's body was separated instantly, with his head rolling around on the ground.
Egu Er originally had time to stop Dang Jue, but his feet were suddenly disturbed. He took a step too slowly and failed, so he had to stretch out his hand and look at the latter sadly, then returned to the case and said with cupped hands:
"Sir, I don't know who messed with me..."
Ma Su nodded, waved his hand to signal Egu Er to stand aside, looked around the crowd majestically, and finally landed on the murderer Dang Jue.
Among the remaining four commanders, the ones who harbored ill intentions towards him were the second commander Danggui (who proposed to kill him) and the third commander Danghe (who proposed to imprison him).
The objects that can be won over are the fourth commander Dang Kun (proposing to take the Shu army for his own use) and the fifth commander Dang Jue (proposing to negotiate with the Shu army).
Thinking of this, Ma Su said with an expressionless face: "The crime is so heinous that death is not a pity. But this does not become the reason for you to go beyond the control of others and kill him. The country has national laws and the family has family rules. Of course, do you know the crime?"
Dangjue knelt half on the ground, cupped his hands and clasped his fists, and said, "Your Excellency enforces the law strictly and impartially. Dangjue is willing to accept punishment."
Ma Su said "hmm" and did not comment, and then asked: "Dang Jue, what do you think about the joint control of Xianling Qiang by me and the princess?"
"I raise my hands in agreement. With the wise leadership of Sir and Princess, Xianling Qiang will definitely prosper and become more powerful! I, Xianling Qiang, will definitely shake the Hehuang River, sweep across the eight wastelands, and unify the Western Qiang!"
Ma Di laughed, waved his hand and said: "It's over, it's over. Although your killing of Dangtu is against etiquette and law, it is excusable. The law is nothing more than human kindness... I forgive you for your innocence! Step back.
.”
"Thank you, sir!" When Jue stood up, Shi Shiran stepped aside.
Seeing this, the three remaining commanders in the hall looked at each other, and instantly realized that the key to whether the three of them could be safe today was not whether they were guilty or not, or whether they had done bad things, but... control over Ma Su.
What is Xianling Qiang’s attitude?
So everyone clasped their fists and expressed their stance: "We are all willing to be led by the master and the princess..."
Among the three people, the second leader, Angelica, had the loudest voice.
Ma Su stared straight at Angelica and said nothing.
This was the guy who suggested killing him.
To be honest, he is a magnanimous person who never holds grudges. Since Angelica has chosen to surrender, let the past grudges stay today and let the wind go.
Ma Su raised his hand and patted the gavel tree, and said in a deep voice: "Come here, drag Angelica down and chop it down!"
