With the general's affirmation, Wu Er's confidence immediately doubled, and he continued to speak even more confidently.
"General, you can't kill those people, but you can't let them go either. Otherwise, others will think that they can go unpunished if they make mistakes."
"What you said makes sense. You can't kill them, but you can't let them go easily either. Tell me, how should we deal with those people?" The general nodded approvingly and motioned for Wu Er to continue.
Wu Er's thoughts were similar to his. If Wu Er could tell the decision he made in his heart, he wouldn't mind reusing Wu Er.
It's not hard to find something that works, but...
It's hard to find someone who understands his thoughts and can use him.
This Wu Er is very good. He can tell him what he wants to do but cannot do. For this reason alone, he is worth training.
Good swords are hard to find, but Wu Er is capable and knowledgeable.
"Drive it away." After Wu Er finished speaking, he glanced at the general quietly. Seeing that the general was not dissatisfied, he knew that he had guessed the general's intention, and he immediately spoke out what was in his heart...
"General, we don't have enough food and grass. We can't feed these people even if we are locked up. If we let them go and let them starve to death in our hands, others will definitely talk about it. But if we just kill them like this
Letting them go will definitely arouse dissatisfaction from other people. According to the villain's opinion, it is better to beat them up first, and then let them go because they are also being deceived, and not hold them accountable for their mistakes. But
…”
When Wu Er said this, he paused, with a hint of melancholy on his face: "They have made such a big mistake, and they have a history of robbing their colleagues for food. We can no longer keep them in the army. We can only drive them away.
, let them find another way."
Wu Er's words sounded nice, but in reality he just beat those people up and left them to fend for themselves.
Of course, without food and being beaten, their chances of surviving in a harsh place like Beichen were less than 10%.
Not to mention being beaten, even in this situation, those soldiers with good hands and feet in southern Xinjiang may not survive.
It is simply too difficult to find something to eat in a shabby place like Beichen.
Wu Er's words can be said to have reached the heart of the general. This is what the general thinks in his heart...
Beat people up and teach them a lesson, then throw them away and leave them to die.
Of course, if you really want to say it out, it must be like Wu Er's, so high-sounding that no one can make mistakes.
After Wu Er finished speaking, the general thought for a moment, pretending to be in trouble, and said: "You have done the most good in quelling the chaos this time. Those people will do as you say."
No matter how beautifully Wu Er said it, the general did not take this matter on himself. He still borrowed Wu Er's name and asked Wu Er to carry out the matter.
Naturally, a person in power would not do such dirty things personally, but not everyone is qualified to do dirty things for a person in power...
The general asked Wu Er to do this. Even if he did not regard Wu Er as his confidant, he still wanted to reuse Wu Er in his heart. Wu Er was not dissatisfied at all.
After Wu Er got the order, he immediately went to deal with the matter, beat up the surrenderers, and then threw them all outside the tent where they were camping.
When throwing the people out, Wu Er did not confiscate their dry food, but only took away their weapons and the gunpowder they carried.
At this time, Wu Er did not forget to preach for the general, saying that the general was benevolent. These dry rations were theirs, and they still belonged to them. Even if the army robbed the food, they would not rob the people below.
At the same time, Wu Er also took the opportunity to say what the general said, that is...
"The general said that this is the time when the life and death of the general in southern Xinjiang is at stake. At this time, we must work together to overcome the difficulties."
"The general said that we do not have much food. At this time, we must eat sparingly. Even if we only have a grain of rice in our hands, we are not allowed to steal other people's food."
"The general also said that regardless of official position or status, anyone who robs or defrauds his colleagues of their food will be punished as a death penalty and will not be tolerated."
…
Wu Er used the sign of the general to explain countless rules. There were some meanings from the general, but some of them were added by himself...
Wu Er didn't know if the general would be angry. As soon as he finished speaking, he knelt in front of the general and begged him: "General, forgive me. I have no choice but to make decisions without permission. The situation at that time was special. If I didn't take the opportunity to publicize it,
I'm afraid I've missed a good opportunity. My subordinates didn't think much about it at the time. They were just hot-headed and wanted to share the worries of the general, so they did something special."
Wu Er spoke sincerely and admitted his mistake readily, but...
The general is still feeling aggrieved.
Wu Er used his name to announce so many rules in front of the entire army, and he couldn't deny them even if he wanted to.
Let’s not talk about the rules announced by Wu Er, which are conducive to uniting the morale of the army. Let’s talk about Wu Er’s current status...
It can be said that Wu Er is his now. When Wu Er is doing things outside, he is doing things for him. If he wants to say what Wu Er said, others will not believe it. Instead, they think that he does not keep his word, or
Want to harm Wu Er.
Wu Er was just a young soldier who had just climbed up. He had no foundation and no one would believe him. Wu Er dared to pass false orders.
Moreover, Wu Er was a signboard set up by him to stabilize the morale of the military. If at this time, Wu Er was dealt with because of Wu Er's "unauthorized decision-making", I am afraid the morale of the military would be unstable.
After all, Wu Er's orders were excellent. If he wanted to punish Wu Er, it would be equivalent to overturning those orders, and his wise and benevolent image would be gone.
The most important thing is that the morale of the military is already unstable. Changing orders every day will only make everyone more panic, thinking that he, a general, is useless.
Seeing Wu Er seriously pleading guilty, the general felt extremely aggrieved.
Wu Er's behavior of clearly not taking him seriously and pretending to be powerful would have definitely killed people in the past, but now...
He really can't do this!
Wu Er earned him a reputation as a benevolent and wise man while in the army. If he wanted to kill Wu Er at this time, wouldn't it be just a slap in his own face?
Not only could he not kill Wu Er, he also had to be generous and praise Wu Er for doing this well, and tacitly acknowledged that this was what he ordered Wu Er to do. Otherwise, if word got out, even a baseless soldier would dare to step on his head.
How else can he control the army?
The general held back his grievance, smiled, and praised: "What's wrong with you? This is what I asked you to do. If you do it well, you will naturally be rewarded."
"The general is benevolent, and the villain just obeys orders and does not dare to ask for rewards." When Wu Er heard the words of the general, his heart dropped... (To be continued)
