Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 246
"Boom, boom, boom!"

Outside Shangcai City, in the barracks, the sound of beating drums resounding through the sky spread like waves, reaching the ears of the soldiers.

The drums sounded, and within a short while, the soldiers were dressed neatly, and gathered in front of the general's platform like ants.Of course, before they got together, there was already a wave of people on and off the stage.

Those on the stage were Liu Yu and his soldiers, while those off the stage were the soldiers led by Zhao Yun and Xu Chu.

All the soldiers didn't understand why they gathered their troops today, but they quickly stood in formation and waited for Liu Yu's lecture.The venue was a bit empty, after all, before the Runan Defense War, it could accommodate so many soldiers.After the First World War, the number of soldiers dropped sharply, so it naturally seemed a little empty.

Although the number of people has decreased, the sharpness has increased.Now these soldiers are standing under the stage, seemingly casual, but if you look closely, you can see that they are always on guard.Once an abnormal situation occurs, they will definitely immediately draw out the waist knife and kill the enemy like a whirlwind.In addition, their eyes are indifferent, and their bodies are full of evil spirits. This is because they have not yet fully controlled themselves after the battle.

But when they looked at Dianjiangtai, their eyes were not indifferent, but hot, especially when they looked at Liu Yu.

Looking around, Liu Yu became more and more satisfied with these soldiers and couldn't help nodding.Then, he took a step forward and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, you are all good. Come on, serve wine. I want to toast the soldiers."

The cold wind was fierce, and the military flag that was blowing flew straight in one direction, and the faces of the soldiers were cut like knives.But even so, the soldiers stood as straight as loose, without moving.

Soon, altars of fine wine were brought up, and large bowls were distributed to the soldiers.The logistics soldiers weaved through the crowd and kept filling the large bowls in the hands of the soldiers with wine.Of course, the generals who ordered the platform also held large bowls, which were also filled with fine wine.

Liu Yu was no exception, with a bowl in his hand, which was full of wine!
"Dry!"

There is no long speech, just a simple "do", but the short voice is full of passion and joy.After finishing speaking, he raised his head and drank vigorously, gulping it down after a few gulps.

The same is true of the generals behind him, and the same is true of the soldiers in the audience, all of them are finished after a few grunts.

After drinking, the big bowl was taken back by the logistics soldiers, and there was no plot of throwing the bowl.Generally, those who throw bowls are death squads, and only they are eligible to throw bowls, because throwing bowls means losing their jobs.

After the toast, Liu Yu suddenly laughed, and said with pride: "Come on, carry them all up for me!"

As soon as the words fell, dozens of soldiers carried more than 20 large boxes to the general platform, and carefully put the boxes down.

Seeing the box put down, Liu Yu smiled again and said, "Open them all for me."

Responding to the sound, more than 20 soldiers among the dozens of soldiers opened the box suddenly.Then, I heard the gasps of all the soldiers present, which sounded very spectacular.Of course, their expressions were all shocked.It's impossible not to be shocked, even Zhao Yun, Xu Chu and other generals were shocked, let alone ordinary soldiers.

But it's no wonder they were shocked, who made Liu Yu have someone carry dozens of boxes of gold—not the worthless five-plant money, but valuable gold.

May I ask who has such a large amount of money, and the soldiers have never seen so much money, how can they not be shocked?

After being shocked, their breathing suddenly became rapid, and their eyes were faintly glowing red, obviously because their hearts were beating.If they can get a box of these gold, they can live comfortably for a lifetime.The family members don't have to work, they don't have to go to the battlefield, and they no longer live a fearful life...

Seeing the appearance of the soldiers, Liu Yu couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction, and then said loudly: "The money is all from you. Of course, the soldiers with great military exploits will get more. For example, the soldiers who killed ten enemies, their income must be This is more than the number of soldiers who killed one enemy. Well, let Master Du explain the specifics."

At this time, Du Ji came out in response, first read the list of military achievements, and then began to direct the soldiers to distribute gold.Of course, there are one hundred soldiers with the most illustrious military exploits, not only a lot of gold, but also a glorious sword.In addition, Liu Yu asked them to stand on the general platform, which can be described as infinite scenery.

In fact, those golds are nothing, but the one hundred Glory Swords.That saber is not an ordinary saber, it is specially made by Liu Yu's craftsmen, it has surpassed the level of craftsmanship of this era, so one can imagine how high its value is.

Those hundred soldiers were holding a plate of gold in one hand and a sword in the other, their faces flushed with excitement.What excited them was not only the gold and the sword, but also the promotion of official positions.

Soldiers who seem to join the army, even if they are forced, have a desire for official positions in their hearts.And like these tough soldiers, their desire will be stronger.Therefore, their excitement is even greater at this time.

The purpose of today's gathering of troops is already very clear, it is nothing more than Liu Yu rewarding and punishing the soldiers to solidify the morale of the army.Oh, the reward is over, so naturally it is the punishment.

The so-called clear rewards and punishments, and the so-called one stick and one sweet date, Liu Yu naturally couldn't just reward but not punish, otherwise, how could he stand majestic.

Sure enough, when the army was full of joy and the soldiers were full of joy, suddenly the law enforcement team came over with nearly a hundred dejected soldiers.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers immediately restrained their smiles and looked over suspiciously.Although he didn't understand what was going on, his heart still froze.

At this moment, Liu Yu's angry voice suddenly came, making their hearts tense.

"Our soldiers are fighting on the front line, but these cowards have fled to the rear. Are such people worthy to be our brothers; should such people be killed?"

Originally, although these deserters were downcast, they didn't worry too much, they just pulled them over and reprimanded them.But suddenly hearing what Liu Yu said, they couldn't help but change their expressions.But before they begged for mercy, the soldiers had already shouted "should be killed".Their mountainous aura scared them so much that their faces turned pale, and they couldn't speak.

But at this time, Liu Yu's face softened, and he said indifferently: "The army has military laws, and you are not allowed to obey the military laws. You should kill yourself. But your family members are innocent, and they may not survive without you. Therefore, After you die, I will take care of your family. So, you can go with peace of mind."

Liu Yu's words fell to the ground, and before those deserters begged for mercy, the soldiers of the law enforcement team behind them had already raised their knives and chopped off their heads.After cutting, the law enforcement team directly packed up the corpses and left the school grounds.

But all the soldiers on the field could not be calm for a long time, they were shocked by the scene just now.At the same time, those soldiers who have the mentality of deserters will never have the heart of deserters.
