"General, we can't kill those people, but we can't let them go either. Otherwise, others will think that they can now make mistakes with impunity. "
"What you said makes sense. While we can't kill them, we can't let them go easily either. "Tell me, what should I do with them?" The Great General nodded his head in approval, signaling Wu Er to continue.
Wu Er's words sounded good, but in reality, he was just beating up those people and leaving them to fend for themselves.
Of course, without food, and after getting beaten up again, they would have a less than ten percent chance of surviving in a place as bad as Beichen.
Not to mention being beaten, even under such circumstances, those skilled soldiers of the Southern Wilderness might not even be able to survive.
It was simply too difficult for Beichen to find something to eat in this crappy place.
Wu Er's words had struck a deep chord in the general's heart, this was what the general was thinking.
Of course, if one were to speak out loud, one would be sure to be like Wu Er. He spoke with complete dignity, making others unable to find fault with him.
After Wu Er finished speaking, the general thought hard for a moment and said, "You have contributed the most to the peace this time. Those people will do as you say."
No matter how beautiful Wu Er's words were, the great general still did not involve himself in this matter. He still borrowed Wu Er's name and had Wu Er carry out the mission.
Naturally, a superior naturally wouldn't personally do such dirty work, but they weren't people who were qualified to do dirty work for a superior …
Even if Wu Er was not the Great General's trusted aide, the Great General still wanted to give Wu Er a great deal of importance. Wu Er was not the least bit dissatisfied about this.
When he threw the people out, Wu Er didn't take their rations, he only took their weapons and carried the gunpowder on his back.
Wu Er didn't forget to preach on behalf of the general at this time, saying that the general was merciful and that the rations were still theirs. Even if the army were to rob the rations, they would not rob the people below.
At the same time, Wu Er seized the opportunity to speak out the general's words, which were …
"The great general said that now is the time of life and death for the great generals of the Southern Wilderness. At this time, we must act with all our hearts to get through this crisis."
"The general said that we don't have much food. At this time, we need to save some food. Even if we only have a grain of rice in our hands, we are not allowed to rob other people's food."
"The great general also said that regardless of rank or identity, whoever wants to steal or trick their comrades will be punished by death, not conceding at all."
… ….
Wu Er used the name of a great general to explain countless rules. There was a hint of a general in this, but there were also some that he had added himself … Wu Er did not know if the Great General would be angry, but after he finished speaking, he knelt in front of the Great General and begged for forgiveness, "Great General, please forgive me. The situation at that time was special. If he didn't take the opportunity to spread the news, he might have missed a good opportunity. At that time, this subordinate didn't think too much about it. It was just …
"With a sudden urge to share the worries of the great general, this is the specialty of the mission."
Wu Er spoke sincerely. Even if he admitted his mistakes, he would still recognize that it was pleasant, but …
The general was still aggrieved.
First, let's not talk about the rules that Wu Er had announced; it would be beneficial for the unity of the army. Just speaking of Wu Er's current identity …
It could be said that Wu Er was currently his man. Wu Er doing things outside was doing things for him. If he said the words of Wu Er, no one would believe them. Instead, they would think that he was someone who would go back on his words, or that he wanted to harm Wu Er.
Also, Wu Er created a signboard to stabilize the morale of the troops. If Wu Er decided to 'make decisions on his own' and dealt with Wu Er at this time, then the morale of the army would likely be unstable.
After all, Wu Er's orders were extremely good. If he wanted to punish Wu Er, it was the same as overturning those orders. His image of being wise and loving disappeared completely.
The most important thing was that the morale of the troops was already unstable. A change in the order of the court would only cause the people to be even more terrified, thinking that this great general was useless.
Looking at Wu Er, who was admitting his mistakes seriously, the Great General was incredibly aggrieved in his heart.
Wu Er obviously didn't put him in his eyes. If this was in the past, he would definitely have killed someone for taking advantage of his authority. But now …
He really couldn't do that!
Wu Er had earned him a reputation of benevolence and wisdom in the army. If he wanted to kill Wu Er now, wouldn't that just be slapping his own face?
Not only was he unable to kill Wu Er, he had to be magnanimous and praise Wu Er for this. Furthermore, he tacitly acknowledged that this was what he had ordered Wu Er to do; otherwise, if word were to spread out, a small soldier without any foundation would dare to step on his head.
"The general forced a smile on his face and praised him," What mistake do you have? This general has asked you to do it anyway. If you do it well, you will naturally be rewarded. " This lowly one is only following orders, I do not dare to ask for rewards. " When Wu Er heard the general's words, his heart sank into his chest …
