After a round of beatings, the leading generals of Tai Yuan Town and Yu Lin Town were crippled by Xiao Ruxun. Their flesh was lacerated and they were put under strict supervision. The remaining generals were also beaten and given a warning. They were demoted and kept in their original positions under the pretext of atoning for their crimes by meritorious service.
But now, the armies of Taiyuan and Yulin were like a group of dragons without a leader. The highest ranking officers under the banner were only a few generals and a few guerrillas. They were no longer able to band together and go against Xiao Ruxun's orders. And they were indeed afraid of Xiao Ruxun's ruthless methods.
When they left, it was a group of more than a hundred men. When they returned, it was a whole fifty thousand men.
Xiao Ruxun scattered them and regrouped them with his own troops. They surrounded the hot spring town so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through. Thus, Lalik's ten thousand soldiers were trapped and unable to move.
Before separating the troops, Xiao Ruxun found several trusted generals and gave them some instructions. Not long after, several of them set off in different directions with several handcarts.
General Li Xiangwu of Taiyuan City had been whipped ten times and beaten ten times with the rod. His back could be said to be riddled with scars. However, compared to the two commanders who had been beaten fifty times with the rod, his treatment could still be considered good. At least he could still stand up and ride his horse, and his injuries were not very serious.
Xiao Ruxun was too ruthless. He said he didn't care, but in the blink of an eye, he found an excuse to cripple everyone. He scattered and regrouped the troops of the two towns so that they couldn't even fight together. They could only follow his strategy under the coercion of his personal troops. He was simply devouring the troops.
This man was too ruthless and too ruthless. He changed his attitude as easily as flipping a book …
Were all famous generals so ruthless?
Li Xiangwu only understood Xiao Ruxun's underhanded methods after setting up camp. He couldn't help but feel a deep lingering fear. There was also Li Wei and Wang Wei, who were knocked out after receiving more than thirty strikes of the rod. This was simply an unexpected disaster.
Who knew a general could become a governor? This was the first Daming governor system ever since it was established!
It had to be said that everyone's luck was too good, too good!
Li Xiangwu felt sorry for himself.
"General, there's a man outside with a carriage. He said he was sent by Governor Xiao."
Governor Xiao …
Li Xiangwu shuddered involuntarily.
"Quick … Come with me to welcome them!"
Li Xiangwu hurriedly came out of the tent. He didn't know what this person was doing here. If he didn't have any good intentions and wanted to mess with him again, then he must not give him any reason. Now that he was under the eaves, he had no choice but to lower his head. This person was the head of all the generals of the four border armies.
From afar, Li Xiangwu could see a group of people and a large carriage.
"Are you General Li?"
The leading officer dismounted from his horse and came forward.
Li Xiangwu hurriedly said, "I am indeed I. May I know who you are?"
"I'm Chen Dacheng, Chief Commander of Governor Xiao's bodyguards. Greetings, General Li!"
Seeing that this person was about to bow, Li Xiangwu hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
"Don't stand on ceremony, don't stand on ceremony."
He was really scared. Although this person was just a general, he was Xiao Ruxun's personal guard officer. The people around him must be very close. Maybe he was here to see if he had any complaints. If he was careless and complained, he would probably be put in a difficult position.
Even the deputy chief commander of the army was beaten up so badly, let alone a small General Li like him. Now he was the governor! The immediate superior of these generals!
Chen Dacheng didn't care and pointed to the large carriage behind him.
"These are gifts that Governor-General Xiao sent me to give you. There are medicines, food, and clothes. Governor-General Xiao specifically asked me to come and see how General Li's injury is. He also asked me to bring good medicine."
Chen Dacheng took out a small white porcelain bottle. Li Xiangwu swallowed his saliva and thought that there was no way to avoid it. He could only bite the bullet and go forward. Therefore, Li Xiangwu made up his mind and invited Chen Dacheng to his tent.
Inside the warm tent, Li Xiangwu took off his armor and revealed his back, which was full of scars, to Chen Dacheng. These wounds had been treated simply by the military doctor, only bandaging them and waiting for them to heal on their own.
Chen Dacheng took some of the powder from the small bottle and applied it on Li Xiangwu's back. Suddenly, a cool feeling hit Li Xiangwu. Li Xiangwu felt that the burning pain on his back lessened a lot, and he felt very comfortable.
Is this really good medicine?
Li Xiangwu was a little doubtful. Chen Dacheng's operation looked very skilled. After applying the powder and bandaging Li Xiangwu's back, he was like an old military doctor.
"I didn't expect Brother Chen to know these military doctors' techniques."
Li Xiangwu opened his mouth and asked, trying to sound him out.
"This is what Governor-General Xiao taught us when he was training the soldiers in Myanmar. In order to reduce casualties, Governor-General Xiao required the soldiers to master some important skills. For example, applying medicine and bandaging. When there is a real battle, each soldier will be given a small bottle of strong alcohol.
Governor-General Xiao said that we can use strong alcohol to remove the inflammation, and then apply medicinal powder and bandage. Ordinary sword wounds will scab in a few days, and there's no need to trouble the military doctor. We can do it ourselves. Governor-General Xiao cares a lot about us soldiers. "
Li Xiangwu was slightly surprised.
"Governor-General Xiao still trains soldiers this way?"
"Of course. Governor-General Xiao is one of the best in the whole of Daming. Otherwise, how could he have killed 200,000 Japanese pirates in Korea? In Dongwu Country, he killed more than 100,000 barbarians. "
Hearing Chen Dacheng's proud words, Li Xiangwu fell silent.
Chen Dacheng tied the bandages and started packing.
"Alright, the wound is not deep. It will be fine in three to five days. But to be honest, General Li, you guys are really lucky this time!"
Li Xiangwu was stunned.
"Lucky?"
"Isn't that so? Governor-General Xiao hates it when people in the army drink alcohol. In the North Korean and Myanmar army, people are not allowed to drink alcohol. If there is alcohol, it is the best alcohol. It is all used by the military doctors to treat the injured and sick. Unless there is a celebration banquet where drinking alcohol is allowed, at other times, drinking alcohol is equivalent to beheading.
In the three years in Myanmar, more than a hundred brothers were beheaded because of drinking. The highest position was a General. Later on, everyone in the army turned pale at the mention of alcohol. Without permission from the higher-ups, they don't even dare to touch alcohol. If they see alcohol, they will hide far away. You guys are really lucky. You only got flogged. "
Li Xiangwu turned around and looked at Chen Dacheng in surprise.
"Really?"
"How can it be fake? I am Governor-General Xiao's personal guard. Do you think I don't know what kind of person he is? He values military law more than anything else. The most common sentence he says is that troops that don't abide by military law are no different from beasts! Damn, we are all beasts! "
Chen Dacheng felt that it was a little funny.
"Then you guys …"
