Sima Ju obviously cannot deal with the Taiping Army’s actions in Badong County as the innocent person.

At this moment, Sima also knew that he had committed a heinous crime. He was frightened and could not stand up. He didn't even dare to raise his head.

The soldiers who followed Sima Ju on the school ground also showed a little unbearable expression, but they still looked at Guo Jia nervously to see how he treated Sima Ju.

"Xu Chu!"

He closed his eyes and called out Xu Chu in a deep voice, and Guo Jia let tears fall down his cheeks.

Xu Chu stepped out of the line, stood beside Sima Ju, who was kneeling on the ground, waiting for the order.

"Sima Jun's rule is not strict and he indulged his subordinates to bully the people. How should he deal with the military discipline I set after entering Chengdu?"

Xu Chu did not hesitate and immediately said loudly: "Behead!"

The whole audience was in an uproar. The schoolyard, which was originally silent, suddenly became boiling. The Yellow Turban soldiers under the hero who had followed Sima Jun for several years protested loudly.

"Can't kill the general!"

"The general works hard and has made great contributions and demerits!"

"If you want to kill the general, even I will kill you!"

...

Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Zhou Tai, and Xu Shu all looked at the scene with a solemn expression. At this time, the soldiers in the school were excited. The people under the commander were so scared that they shrank into a group and did not dare to raise their heads, for fear of being taken out by the vicious soldiers. However, Xu Chu Dian Wei's subordinates on the other side all pressed the handle of the knife. If there was a mutiny, they would respond as soon as possible.

Suddenly opening his eyes, Guo Jia looked down at the soldiers who shouted loudly that he could not kill Sima Ju, and pointed his hand at the soldiers facing the school ground.

With an excited expression and uncontrollable expression, Guo Jia roared at them angrily: "Ask yourself, why did you all join the great masters of the great wise? How many of you were forced to go to the forefront by the local tyrants and bullies and corrupt officials? Why did you join Taiping Road? Is it to live a good life described by the great wise men and good teachers for you, or to become a new local tyrant bully and oppress the villagers? Who can stand up with confidence and tell me that you are worthy of your conscience if you bully men and women to take advantage of your conscience?"

This roar was like a loud bell shaking, which made the restless soldiers in the school look ashamed and dared not raise their heads to look at Guo Jia again.

He suppressed their arrogance with righteous words, but Guo Jia still had to be unreasonable and continued to yell at them angrily: "What was the situation when you were trying to resist? In your heart, should those who oppress you die? Should you oppress others now? If I let you go today, is it equivalent to telling the entire Taiping Army of Yizhou that we can bully the people, ignore human lives, and destroy human nature? If you have children, daughters, fathers and mothers, have you never thought that those who are oppressed by you will also rise up and resist. At that time, how much blood debt will be paid for you? Xu Chu, Dian Wei, lead your subordinates to cut all these people for me! Cut! Cut!"

At this time, Guo Jia looked a little crazy, and there were not many soldiers who came to gather in the school rush to carry weapons. On the other hand, the soldiers brought by Xu Chu and Dian Wei were not only wearing armor and holding weapons, but also showing a murderous aura.

Xu Chudianwei Deling immediately walked downstairs. Sima Ju raised his head in tears and kept kowtowing to Guo Jia and begging, "Lord, all the mistakes are wrong. It's because I'm not strict in the rule of law. I'm betrayed my lord. If you want to punish me, I will punish me alone. Please ask my lord to circumvent them."

Huhlala, the soldiers in the entire school ground knelt down at Guo Jia, crawled on the ground and were worried, shouting words begging for mercy.

Xu Chudianwei couldn't care about so much and continued to walk down the stage. At this time, Xu Shu on the stage came to Zhou Tai and urged in a low voice: "Go and plead!"

Zhou Tai, who was filled with righteous indignation, wanted to cut all the bastards immediately and plead for mercy? Anyway, from his heart, he would definitely not do this, but when Xu Shu reminded him, Zhou Tai realized something. He took a deep breath, changed into a sad expression, and walked to Guo Jia. He also knelt down when his legs were weak, and shouted at Xu Chu and Dian Wei first: "General Xu, General Dian, please stay first!"

Turning his head again, Zhou Tai clasped his fists to Guo Jia and said in a stern voice: "Lord, General Sima is indeed wrong, but he has made contributions. The soldiers below were born and died with the lord, and finally settled in Yizhou. Even if they were wrong, the lord must not ignore the old love."

Xu Chu and Dian Wei stopped because Guo Jia looked at Zhou Tai, and he secretly gave him a look. They understood that Guo Jia told them not to do anything first.

But Guo Jia looked at Zhou Tai and said word by word: "Zhou Tai! Do you also ignore the military discipline I set?"

Zhou Tai rested in fear and said loudly: "Zhou Tai dares not, Zhou Tai dares not, but lord, ordinary soldiers live a hard life, and they are hungry only by food and wages. Most of their mistakes are just a matter of thought and a moment of failure. Please make public kindness."

When he looked up again, Zhou Tai looked excitedly at the soldiers below who had already expressed gratitude to him and said loudly: "Lord, I am also in charge of the army. I know their hardships. I charge to the front, attack cities and villages, and risk my life to help the lord win the battle. But most of the credits are the generals. They are the lord's greatest heroes. The lord's military management is rigorous and orders are prohibited. I dare not forget it for a moment. Today, the lord wants to punish the soldiers, so please let me be punished on behalf of the soldiers. If the lord wants to chop their heads, chop mine. If the lord wants to beat their military sticks, just hit me."

The soldiers in the coaching stage felt guilty but burst into tears. Zhou Tai stood up to plead for them, and even risked his life to protect them, which was enough to make them grateful to Zai De.

"Lord, General Zhou is right. Lord, we generals have made the most contributions to attack Yizhou, but in fact, without them and those dead soldiers, we would not have made any contributions." Sima Ju also followed Zhou Tai's words and wanted to plead for his soldiers.

Guo Jia showed a little struggling look and said sadly: "Life crimes can be avoided, but death crimes cannot be escaped. Zhou Tai, if you are willing to be punished for them, you can get a hundred military sticks. Dian Wei, you can do it yourself!"

Zhou Tai bowed to Guo Jia without fear and said, "I thank the Lord for public favors. I would like to ask the Lord to be kind. General Sima is a meritorious minister, so please let me know."

After saying that, Zhou Tai got up and went down to lead the army. Before he said the last sentence, Xu Shu had already walked back from Dian Wei and ordered Dian Wei's subordinates to pay attention to their duties.

Dian Wei's great power is amazing, but his ability to control his strength is also amazing. If Xu Chu had changed, Zhou Tai's life would probably be in lingering.

On this side, Sima Ju was in tears and knelt beside Guo Jia in disguise and helplessly. I wonder if Guo Jia would agree to Zhou Tai for forgiveness.

The tears that Guo Jiagang stopped poured out again. He held Sima Ju's arms with his own hands, and while helping him up, he spoke sincerely in a gentle tone.

"General Sima, you are a man who stands tall and upright, and you will definitely not be greedy for life and death. The great wise and good teachers love you very much. If I kill you, how can I be worthy of the great wise and good teachers? I remember that the great wise and good teachers were determined to let the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment, and mentioned you several times to me, saying that you can help him benefit the people. Without your assistance, how could I lead my army to capture Yizhou? How could I let the Taipingdao people come to Yizhou to live and work in peace and contentment? You

I have made great contributions, so how could I bear to kill you? Although the people of Badong County have complained about me now, these are not your fault. It is because I shouldn’t let you come here. It is because I mis-employment of people. I have to punish myself, and I have to punish myself. It has nothing to do with you. General Sima, you are a man, a hero and a model in the army. But I still ask you to strictly enforce military discipline in the future, don’t let me down again, let the late wise and good teachers down, and let the people of the world down."

Sima Ju looked at Guo Jia dullly, and only saw Guo Jia's heartbroken but caring expression, ashamed, humiliated, self-blame, guilt and other complex moods surged from the bottom of his heart like a torrent.

After Guo Jia's words, several key points kept flashing in his mind.

Being greedy for life and fear of death, being a great wise and good teacher, having disappointed everyone's expectations, improper employment of people, and unclear military discipline...

Thinking of the kindness of the great master Zhang Jiao to him, the expectations of Guo Jia for him, the actions he did, the injustice and blood and tears of the people in the army, Sima was shocked. As soon as he was helped up, his legs became weak and he knelt down.

The scattered eyes suddenly gathered a sense of determination. Sima Ju stretched out his neck, lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said aloud: "Lord! Sima Ju has lost his lord, and has a great wise and good teacher. How can he live in the world? If I don't die, how can I be worthy of these suffering people? Lord! Please die!"

Guo Jia burst into tears, and his hands tremblingly wanted to help Sima Ju, but he refused. Guo Jia advised: "General Sima, why are you doing this? The mistake has been made. Can you let those unjustly people survive if you die?"

Thinking of the people who died suddenly because of their indulgence in their subordinates, Sima Ju said more firmly: "Lord, Sima Ju is not to be cherished. If the injustice of the people can be maintained, Sima Ju is satisfied. Lord, let's do it!"

This time, the soldiers in the coach stage did not plead for mercy, but looked at Sima Ju with a respectful look, and were also filled with guilt.

A cold light flashed in his eyes blurred by tears. Guo Jia took a deep breath, pulled out his sword and drew his way down, and the movement was done in one go without any stagnation.

Sima Ju's head rolled down to the coaching platform, the headless corpse fell to the ground, and blood rolled out from his neck.

Turning around and walking down the coaching platform, Guo Jia left the school ground under Xu Chu's escort, and the soldiers behind him surrounded Sima Ju's body and cried loudly.

After taking the white silk handed over by Xu Shu, Guo Jia ordered expressionlessly: "After Zhang Yan's 30,000 troops arrived, Zhou Tai led his 10,000 soldiers, and at the same time took over the soldiers under Sima Ju to take charge of Badong. All the soldiers recruited were released back to their hometowns, so that Zhou Tai could strictly guard against Jingzhou."

Xu Shu was about to leave when he was about to take the order, but Guo Jia called him again, holding the white silk in his hand and constantly wiping the cold sweat on his face. Guo Jia was very uncomfortable and his mind was a little heavy at this time, but he still said in a deep voice: "Send someone to report the message to Zhang Baiqi and Xu He of Fuling County, Jiangyang County, and bring along the news that I was defeated in Jingzhou and killed Sima Ju in Badong. Remember, only the result was reported, and the process was said to be unknown. In addition, send two groups of people to report to Chengdu one by one, so that Zhicai led Gao Shun to strictly prevent the rebellion, and the other to Gan Ning in Zitong County, so that he could lead his army back to Chengdu immediately! Quick!"

After saying the last word, Guo Jia suddenly fell down. Xu Chu hugged him quickly, reached out and touched Guo Jia's forehead, and said to Xu Shu anxiously: "Military advisor, the lord is hot all over. It seems that he is very sick."

Xu Shu was not a doctor, so he could only urge someone to invite the doctor and prepare a carriage. After Zhang Yan's army gathered, he rushed back to Chengdu together.

The four-way news reported had been sent out, and Xu Shu knew that Guo Jia was trying to rebel against Xu He and Zhang Baiqi.
