People in the Tang Dynasty, Jian'an style

For a moment, everyone looked at this young prince with admiration, and no one dared to join in the commotion.

Li Wenbin didn't care about the sharp steel knife in front of his chest. He smiled at him and said, "I have already taken action, haven't I?"

After saying that, she turned around and actually sold her back to him, making it clear that she didn't take him seriously at all.

The captain was too ashamed to sheath his sword in front of so many of his former subordinates, so he gritted his teeth and stabbed at Li Wenbin.

But the other party was a prince after all, so he held back his strength in this blow. He probably just wanted to show off his skill and embarrass Li Wenbin so that he could save his own situation.

But just as he extended the knife in his hand, another knife flashed from the side, and with a "puff" sound, blood splattered everywhere. The captain screamed, and his arm with the knife fell to the ground. He rolled on the ground in pain, and the ground was covered with horrifying blood.

Su Dingfang next to him slowly put away his knife and wiped the blood off the knife as if nothing had happened.

Everyone was in an uproar, looking at him with strange eyes, shocked and horrified.

It was just an occasional conflict between colleagues, but he actually chopped off someone's arm, and he was a captain!

Xue Wanche said sternly: "Have you been accustomed to the comfortable life in the past few years? Those who commit crimes against their superiors will be punished by military law. Even beheading him is not too much, let alone cutting off his arm!"

Li Wenbin put his hands behind his back and said proudly: "These two people committed treason. They should be stripped of their military status and sent to the Ministry of Justice to be locked up!"

Xue Wanche was stunned. He thought that these two blind captains would stop there after one of them broke Li Wenbin's wrist and the other even cut off his arm. He didn't expect him to be so cruel.

After a moment of surprise, he quickly clasped his fists and said, "I obey your command!"

Just now, he was also watching the fun in the crowd - of course, he would not embarrass Li Wenbin too much.

Because although Li Wenbin had just taken office, so had he.

If others don't take Li Wenbin seriously, they will not take him, the captain, seriously either.

However, Xue Wanche was also a little dissatisfied that Li Wenbin was so young but ranked above him.

So he wanted to see Li Wenbin act like a clown, and then come out to help him stabilize the situation. However, just as Li Wenbin put his hands behind his back and turned around, those eyes had already pierced him like lightning - Xue Wanche's thoughts did not escape Li Wenbin's eyes and ears.

He saw it.

Li Wenbin's cold glance faintly revealed some of Li Shimin's charm.

Xue Wanche's heart skipped a beat. How could he dare to wait and see him make a fool of himself? He had just attacked so ruthlessly, in fact, he had done it on purpose to apologize to the new King of Qi.

Unexpectedly... they thought the punishment was already extremely severe, but Li Wenbin still felt it was not enough.

This kid is only sixteen years old and yet he is so cruel!

Xue Wanche muttered to himself but didn't dare say it out loud.

With the two captains as a lesson, the seven hundred people acted quickly. Within two hours, they had cleaned the training ground and the barracks thoroughly.

They originally thought that this would be all, but unexpectedly Li Wenbin announced a new decision.

Li Wenbin told everyone that no matter if they were colonels, captains, brigade commanders or team leaders, ability was the most important thing and the most capable would be given the upper hand. However, a slight disturbance still occurred in the team.

According to current customs, the better you fight, the higher your position will naturally be.

But Li Wenbin doesn't think so - someone who can fight is not necessarily a good officer.

Of course, combat power is also an important reference for officers, but he values ​​other things more.

That's leadership.

After hearing this, a member of the team named Zhao Fu was dissatisfied.

Relying on the fact that he had worked hard to become the team leader, he was very dissatisfied with Li Wenbin's new rule.

"Your Highness, Prince of Qi, I have joined since His Majesty started the rebellion in Jinyang. If I have made any mistakes and you want to remove me, I have nothing to say. But if you want to drive me away without any reason, even if the king of heaven comes, I will not allow it!"

Li Wenbin looked at Zhao Fu, who was tall and sturdy, with a scar on his face extending from the corner of his eye to the corner of his mouth, and smiled: "You were appointed as the captain, so what contributions have you made?"

Zhao Fu snorted, stepped out of the crowd, pointed at the scar on his face and said, "If the King of Qi had good eyesight, he would be able to see the scar on my face. This is the scar left by the enemy when I was attacking Luoyang. But I was not vague in that battle. I killed three people, including a captain. General Cheng praised me for my bravery and appointed me as a captain! Hum, it has been several years. I guess you, the King of Qi, were still breastfeeding at that time, right? Hahaha!"

Some people in the team laughed, while others wanted to laugh but held it back.

Chapter 112: Training

The lord is humiliated and the minister is killed. When Su Dingfang heard Zhao Fu say such words, he became furious, but was stopped by Li Wenbin.

Li Wenbin nodded at Zhao Fu and smiled, "Very good, since you have made such a great contribution. Then do you know what your first duty as a soldier is?"

"Hmph, I don't know. I should ask the King of Qi."

"It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders!" Li Wenbin pointed at Zhao Fu and shouted, "Come here, take him down!"

Everyone looked at each other, but no one moved.

Seeing this, Li Wenbin smiled and said, "You guys are really united. Why, do you want to wait for me to do it myself?"

After all, disobeying orders is a serious crime. Although everyone was unwilling, they still had to obey his orders.

Several soldiers came up and tried to tie up Zhao Fu.

Three or five people surrounded him, some twisting his arms and some putting ropes on him.

But this bastard got angry and stared at Li Wenbin with his eyes bigger than cowbells, spitting fire.

Zhao Fu, who was covered in burly clothes, suddenly raised his arm, and the people surrounding him, whether real or fake, all rolled on the ground.

“Hahaha, you think you can catch me with just these few guys?” Zhao Fu laughed grimly, “King Qi, if you want to catch me, you better do it yourself!”

Li Wenbin nodded: "In that case, then it will be as you wish."

Seeing him walking towards him, Zhao Fu snorted, but he was alert in his heart.

I've just witnessed his kung fu. This brat is ruthless and must be on guard against.

"Your Highness, Prince Qi, you are a noble prince, we dare not do anything to you." Zhao Fu rolled his eyes and came up with a solution, "So, we dare not resist."

Li Wenbin smiled and said, "It's okay. This time is an exception. I'll let you resist. No matter what the result is, even if you kill them with one punch, no one will bother you."

Zhao Fu grinned and said, "Are you serious?"

"Of course, I am a man, and I will kill with a spit!"

"Then it's settled." Zhao Fu sounded a bit silly, and actually punched Li Wenbin.

Xue Wanche was horrified when he saw this, but as soon as he moved, he was held down by Su Dingfang.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Are you trying to steal the prince's limelight?"

"But……"

"It's okay, Lao Xue. Just wait and see!" Su Dingfang said calmly.

At this moment, Zhao Fu's fist as big as a casserole pot had already arrived in front of Li Wenbin, but he was not in a hurry and stretched out...

A finger then gently touched Zhao Fu's arm.

Zhao Furu felt like he was struck by lightning. He stood still in that instant, unable to move.

Li Wenbin slapped him a few more times, and the sturdy man fell to the ground with a thud.

The entire training ground was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Zhao Fu's eyes were wide open, and he tried his best to struggle, but every part of his body was sore and weak that he couldn't even muster a bit of strength, let alone struggle.

"Come here, tie him up and hang him on the flagpole."

"promise."

Several people rushed out like wolves and tigers, and tied him up tightly with multiple hemp ropes. Zhao Fu's eyes popped out from being strangled, and he glared at those people.

Okay, you bastards, I’m going to remember you today. Sooner or later, I’ll let you know how powerful I am!

But at this time everyone was afraid of Li Wenbin, fearing that he would do the same to them and turn them into useless people. Everyone used all their strength for fear of getting hurt.

In a short while, Zhao Fu was hung on the flagpole, and someone even handed Li Wenbin a whip.

Looking at the man who was trying to please him, Li Wenbin asked curiously, "What is this whip for?"

"Your Majesty, Zhao Fu just offended you. According to the law, he should be whipped fifty times."

Li Wenbin looked at the whip, which was as thick as his little finger and made of cowhide. If it were to hit him, it would be painful...

He hesitated and said, "Zhao Fu's crime was not serious. There is no need to whip him with a whip dipped in salt water."

Zhao Fu and the others: "..."

Good fellow, seeing this young prince hesitate for a while, I thought he was a soft-hearted person, but in the end...

Li Wenbin thought for a moment and waved his hand: "No need to whip him. I have a better way of rewarding and punishing him in mind. Let's hang him up first and train him!"

None of the seven hundred people dared to make a sound, waiting for Li Wenbin's order.

"Let's just run five miles first. It'll be a good exercise so that we can come back in time for breakfast!"

After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief - it's just ten miles, it's no big deal.

When I was farming at home, I had to walk dozens of miles a day. What was a mere ten miles?

But before they could feel happy, they couldn't laugh anymore.

At this time, a team of auxiliary soldiers brought over heavy logs and placed them on the ground, arranging them neatly, exactly seventy in total.

"Every group has to carry a huge log and they are not allowed to put it down halfway. Anyone who is lazy will have no food to eat and can only watch others eat." Su Dingfang announced loudly.

This sentence made some people who were originally quick-witted give up their ideas.

Not allowing people to eat is already cruel, and now you force them to watch others eat?

Be yourself!

This huge log weighs at least 200 kilograms, which means each person has to bear exactly 20 kilograms. It is not a big deal, but the ten-mile journey is not a smooth one, and one even has to pass over a small hill.

Why don't you go out and play with women, drink wine and be a prince? Why do you have to come here to mess with us?

Are you bored because you have eaten too much?

Just when the group of ten people had lifted the huge tree and were ready to set off, they saw Li Wenbin coming up to them carrying something like a backpack, and then threw it to the ground.

thump—

There was a muffled sound.

Only then did everyone see clearly that it was actually an iron backpack with ropes tied on it, and no one knew what it was used for.

Then, the seven hundred people saw Li Wenbin carrying the backpack weighing at least forty or fifty kilograms on his back.

Su Dingfang and Xue Wanche also carried a backpack on their backs.

……

Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda strolled to the parade ground, but found that it was empty and there was no one in sight.

Even Li Wenbin disappeared.

There was only one guy hanging on the flagpole, wailing loudly.

"General, General! I am Zhao Fu, I am Zhao Fuwa!"

When Zhao Fu saw Cheng Yaojin, his voice was filled with tears.

Old Cheng frowned and walked to the flagpole. Seeing his pitiful appearance, he felt it was too eye-catching.

"Why are you crying like a woman? What did you do wrong to be hung on the flagpole?"

Chapter 113 Punishment (Please vote)

It is a big taboo to overstep one's authority to deal with soldiers led by others, even if they are in the same Zuo Wuwei.

Cheng Yaojin, who had led troops for many years, naturally understood this, so he gave up his previous idea.

"General, it's that kid prince! He came and dismissed my captain without saying a word, saying something like "the competent one gets the job"... I thought, I fought hard to get the position of captain, if I was dismissed so easily by that kid, wouldn't it be a loss of face for the general? So I argued with him for a few words."

The more Cheng Yaojin listened, the more his brows furrowed, and he asked unhappily, "Then what?"

"Then, then..." Zhao Fu said with a sad face, "Then, the baby prince slapped me on the arm and slapped me a few times, and I couldn't use any strength at all."

"All the bones in my body seem to be soft, and I can't use any strength at all."

Cheng Yaojin snorted and ignored him.

At this moment, heavy footsteps were heard in the distance, along with the heavy breathing of hundreds of men.
