Chapter 681 clear rewards and punishments
Enduring the excruciating pain, Ma Chao frowned and rubbed his temples: The matter in front of him is probably the most disturbing decision he has faced since he took power.Ma Chao was quite moved by the loyalty of Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and Zang Ba.However, the military law is ruthless and the military prestige is paramount. If he easily exposes it, how will the Ma family stand in the future?
But if he punishes too much, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are the famous generals he can rely on.After this incident, he became a good minister of the Ma family with all his heart.Moreover, their loyalty and loyalty are also what the Ma family needs to commend and carry forward.In terms of emotion and reason, none of the three seemed to deserve too heavy a punishment.

And if the punishment of the three of them is still troublesome, then the treatment of Lu Qiling is even more troublesome, and there is no cure: Lu Qiling was entrusted to him by Lu Bu and regarded as the cornerstone of the cooperation between the two alliances. It is impossible for him to really kill her.Before, under anger, one wrong step, one wrong step.

Rescuing them at this time is very difficult and headache: Lu Qiling trespassed on the important place of military discussion, ignoring the Ma family's military law, this is one; Shun and Zang Ba rebelled against the Ma family, and they were suspected of forcing them to commit suicide, so this is the third.

Of the three counts, only the first one is relatively light, while the remaining two are serious crimes that can kill a person.But this Lu Qiling couldn't be killed at all!

After all, it was still my own fault.If I told her about Lu Bu's entrustment to Lu Qiling as soon as possible, I would eliminate today's hidden dangers.However, today's big mistake has been made, and Ma Chao can only make up for today's big mistake if he tries his best to make a fair ruling.

As a result, Ma Chao got up, took a long look at Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, turned his back, and said coldly: "Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, what happened today, can you be convicted?!"

After all, Lu Qiling didn't understand Ma's army's laws and regulations, so she couldn't help being stunned.Think of Zhang Liao's six thousand geese riding north to raid Wancheng and win a big victory, and even single-handedly greet and send off Cai Mao with Xu Huang, which strengthened the momentum of the Ma family.As for Gao Shun's trip to Nanyang County, although he did not gain much military exploits, Gao Shun was in the overall control of the resettlement of the victims, and he did his best to mediate.

What the two of them did was nothing more than a famous general in ancient times.Although today's incident seemed serious, no one died, let alone the slightest loss: Could it be that Ma Chao wanted to erase the credit of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun just because he hurt his hands?
Lu Qiling looked around in astonishment, and was even more surprised to find that none of the counselors showed any surprise.At the same time, there was a burst of fear that I had never felt before: Could it be?The disaster I caused this time is really monstrous and unrecoverable.

On the other hand, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were still expressionless at this moment. After hearing Ma Chao's questioning, Gao Shun first bowed his head and said, "My lord, what happened today, my lord has done his best. I have nothing to say."

"My lord, severing his hands to save him is the grace of life and rebuilding. Liao also has nothing to say, but please wait and see in the future, my lord, to see Liao serve the Ma family with all his heart!" Zhang Liao then spoke, his burly body was already crumbling as he spoke.

After Ma Chao heard the words, he turned around abruptly, and said loudly, "Okay! You two should plead guilty to disturbing the military discussion! Come here, take them down, and each of you will be punished with twenty military sticks!"

When Lu Qiling heard this, she suddenly realized.It turned out that Ma Chao was not blaming Zhang Liao and Gao Shun for defending himself, but punishing them for disrupting the military discussion: this crime can be big or small.At least, Lu Qiling knew that her father had several times killed the soldiers who disturbed his military discussions on the spot.

Seeing that Zhang Liao and Gao Shun's foreheads were still bleeding, Lu Qiling couldn't help but want to plead with Ma Chao.But thinking that Ma Chao's conviction was very light, and that she was the culprit...Moreover, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun looked at her with a deep restraint in their eyes, Lu Qiling panicked and opened her mouth, but Not a word was spoken.

In the silence, the second general was pushed down and punished with a stick in the hall, only the sound of "pushing" and "pushing".

Hearing Chen Haojie's count to twenty, Ma Chao waved his hand and said, "Come on."

Afterwards, he looked at the two generals and burst out laughing, his laughter was full of joy: "Wen Yuan lightly attacked Wancheng, and Gongming shocked the enemy, Chao has never dared or forgotten. Gaoping Beinanyang A county's careful and comprehensive planning and resettlement of the disaster victims shows its all-round talent in civil and military affairs. I have returned to Chang'an today, and when the court discusses tomorrow, I will reward myself for my meritorious deeds!"

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun raised their heads in disbelief and said, "My lord... If you have another heart in the future, you will be destroyed!"

Ma Chao waved his hands and said, "You don't need to say much, although it was not the two of you who disturbed the military discussion today, it is only natural that you will be punished if you do something wrong. However, Wen Yuan's plan for Wancheng is to destroy the courage of the enemy. , My Ma family’s martial power has been greatly boosted. Gaoping’s overall control of the north, the stability of the disaster victims, and a great victory in civil governance, all of which are great achievements, should be rewarded! Those who have made meritorious deeds should be rewarded, and those who have done wrong must be punished. The Ma family’s military regulations have always been like this.”

Speaking of this, Ma Chao gently patted the shoulders of the two with his painful hands, and said sincerely: "Wen Yuan and Gao Shun have a loyal heart, and sacrifice their lives for the whole martial arts. Chao sincerely admires it. The generals of the Ma family, If they are all like two people, why worry about Chao?!"

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun's blood boiled after hearing this, and they all struggled to take a step forward and shouted loudly: "My lord...!"

"You don't need to say more," Ma Chao saw that the two were already emotionally agitated, so he hurriedly interrupted them and said to the guards, "Hurry up and help the two generals go down to rest."

But after Zhang Liao and Gao Shun glanced at each other, their eyes were filled with hesitation again.Seeing this, Ma Chao naturally knew what the two were worried about, so he said to Chen Haojie, "Please invite the genius doctor Hua to come here. The two generals won't go back with peace of mind if they don't see how Chao will deal with Lu Qiling..."

And Lu Qiling secretly admired Ma Chao's methods before, with clear rewards and punishments, no wonder he can make a strong man die.In this regard, to be honest, my father is indeed inferior.However, when she heard Ma Chao talk about how to deal with her, Lu Qiling was horrified for a moment: what happened today, she was really scared afterward.Zhang Liao and Gao Shun acted loyally, but because they disturbed the military discussion, they exchanged for a section of military sticks.And myself...

Sure enough, at this moment, Ma Chao walked towards him with a sullen face.And Lu Qiling looked at Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and the eyes of the counselors and guards in the audience. She, who used to kill people like nothing, actually felt really scared at this moment, her legs began to tremble involuntarily, and she stepped back slightly...

"Lv Qiling, you first came to disturb my Ma family's military discussions; second, you came to persecute my Ma family general; and third, you attempted to assassinate me. Can you admit to these three crimes?!" Ma Chao stood still ten steps away from Lu Qiling, and said in a cold tone. !
"I, I..." Under the gaze of Ma Chao's icy eyes, Lu Qiling's mind was broken, and she stumbled and said, "I never thought that things would turn out like this..."

"Yes, you haven't thought about it!" Ma Chao was furious when he heard Lei Ting's words. He took a few steps closer and reprimanded loudly: "You haven't thought about why the world can't be included in the hands of your Lu family? You haven't thought about why you, Lu Qiling, would Becoming a prisoner of the Ma family? And you have never thought about why your father, Lu Bu, entrusted you to me, and told you not to let you know his whereabouts, in exchange for a hero who will fight desperately on the battlefield!" Speaking of this Ma Chao angrily took out Lu Bu's blood letter from his pocket and threw it to Lu Qiling!
Lu Qiling suddenly heard this shocking secret, and heard that her father had entrusted herself to Ma Chao.Can't help crying, picked up the blood book on the ground in disbelief, opened it tremblingly to read.As for Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, they only got this news today, they were so shocked that they didn't even realize that Yao Yi and Xu Pu were treating their wounds.

All the counselors looked at each other like a bolt from the blue when they heard the shocking news.Especially the old fox Jia Xu squinted his eyes slightly: No wonder the lord dared to manipulate Lu Bu to a showdown with Cao Cao without worry. It turns out that there is still a friendship between the lord and Lu Bu? ! ... And presumably this Lu Qiling is the key to maintaining the relationship between the lord and Lu Bu?
