“Trash, a bunch of trash!”

“Within a day, our platoon was attacked seven times.

Seven or five soldiers were killed by the Yellow Turban thieves!

Our troops have been reduced by nearly one-tenth, but you haven’t even seen a single hair of the thief.

A bunch of trash!”

In the camp at the south of Ying Tao city, the commander of their platoon was roaring, and the ten station commanders were all lowering their heads, not daring to breathe.

Everyone knew that the general was currently in a fit of anger.

Whoever dared to say anything would definitely incur the wrath of the Thunder.

No one could bear the anger of the general at this time.

In fact, the Marquis was not so angry as to be afraid.

This was because once this news reached the ears of the higher-ups, not only would he lose his skin, he might not even be able to keep his life.

He had to do something now!

The general knew this very well.

Therefore, he suppressed his anger and looked at his ten subordinates.

“What, why aren’t you all saying anything? Is he dead? Tell me, what should we do next?”

The general said, but the ten people were still frightened and didn’t dare to speak.

The commander directly called out, “first station commander! What do you think we should do?”

“Reporting to the general, I think that we should gather our forces to set up an ambush to capture the bandits!”

The station commander who was called out stood up shakily and said something that was basically useless. The commander looked at him coldly.

“Gather our forces? Set up an ambush? Come, tell me, how do you plan to gather your forces and how do you plan to ambush and capture them?”

“This … This …”

The station commander was unable to come up with a reason, and his gaze turned cold.

“It’s because of a good-for-nothing like you that my area was forced to such an extent by the Yellow Turban thieves. Men, take down and chop this good-for-nothing!”

As soon as the commander gave the order, his personal guards came out immediately and dragged the station commanders out to kill them.

This scene made everyone’s scalps tingle. They didn’t think that the general would really kill.

But no one dared to speak up for a station commander at this time.

Everyone realized that the general was in a hurry. Whoever dared to plead for mercy would have to face this problem.

If he did not solve this problem, the person who pleaded for mercy would probably die with the station commander.

For a moment, no one had a solution, and no one dared to speak.

Therefore, although the station commander begged and wailed, it was of no use.

But the Marquis was unmoved.

He immediately got someone to drag him out of the tent and cut him down with a knife.

A shrill shriek reverberated through the big tent. At the same time, most of the remaining 9 station commanders were so scared that they started to quiver all over.

After killing a station commander, the commander looked at the remaining nine.

“Do you have any ideas?”

At this moment, the 9 station commanders had long been dumbfounded. They did not dare to say a word. The officer started to walk among the 9 people. After walking back and forth for a few rounds, he stopped beside the 7th station commander.

“What’s your plan, seventh station commander?”

As he spoke, the general moved his ear closer.

Seeing the commander lean his ear over, the seventh station commander lowered his voice and begged in a low voice, “this subordinate is incompetent and can not share your worries. I hope that you can spare this subordinate’s life on account of the more than ten years of life and death that I have spent as a Marquis!”

As soon as the seventh station commander finished, the general patted him on the shoulder and said in praise, “Good! Good plan, seventh station commander!”

“What I said is a good plan?”

While the seventh station commander was still in a daze, the commander raised his head and said to the crowd,

“Just now, the seventh battalion commander suggested that, even though he deduced that the Yellow Turban bandits should be hiding in the mountain village in the South, immediately gather the Army and raze that mountain village to the ground!

Take revenge for our fallen brothers!

Take action immediately!”

After that, the commander gave the seventh station commander a meaningful look, then turned around and left.

It was only then that the seventh station commander realized that he had been tricked by the Marquis.

In fact, everyone knew that there was only one Yellow Turban thief who had attacked their troops this time.

However, if they reported the truth, even if the Yellow Turban thief was caught in the end, they would not be able to keep their skin.

The only way was to lie about military intelligence and kill the good to claim credit.

They would just randomly find a small mountain village and slaughter them. Besides, the losses of their troops were from fighting with the large group of Yellow Turban bandits.

Didn’t this resurrect the dead end of the general?

At that time, not only would he not have to bear any responsibility, but the power behind him would also be promoted.

And if anything went wrong, everyone could see that he was the one who had suggested it, and the one to take the blame would definitely be him, a station commander with no background.

...

After understanding this, the seventh station commander was so angry that he was shaking.

No one was willing to be someone else’s scapegoat for no reason, and he was not willing either!

So what if he was unwilling?

Apart from anger, what surged up was fear.

At the same time, he realized the point of killing a station commander. The commander wanted to tell him that if he cooperated, then everything would be fine. He might even get some benefits after this.

However, if he did not cooperate, he would end up like the other station commander who did not have any background.

The seventh station commander sat in his seat for a long time, but in the end, he could only stand up after a long sigh.

After that, the Army began to move and charged out of the camp.

…

On the other side, on the edge of the mountain range to the south of the Ying Tao city.

At this moment, Wu Wei was happily counting his earnings.
