Chapter 288 Kill one to serve as a warning to others Command downstairs. After Gu Chan came down, she stood directly in front of all the generals and asked them to stand in a row of ten people each, and there were more than ten rows. After everyone was standing in place, she said, "Xue Lihua, Ren Nanshan, step out." "Yes, Manager Gu." The two said in unison. After saying that, they immediately trotted out of the team and stood opposite Gu Chan. Gu Chan looked at everyone and said, "Listen to me, everyone. This military training will last for seven days. Today will count as half a day. After that, they will be responsible for helping me supervise you during the military training." "Manager Gu, there are too many people. Let us step out and help you supervise!" "Yes! After all, we were generals before, so you should at least give us some face and don't let us follow your scolding!" "Manager Gu, can you give me some face?" The three brothers Tian Ying, Tian Bao and Tian He all begged Gu Chan with a smile.
Gu Chan glanced at the three of them with disdain, "If you want to come out for monitoring and don't want to practice, go tell the Ninth Prince upstairs. If he agrees, I won't let you practice with me." The three brothers' faces instantly froze, and they dared not talk nonsense anymore. They had suffered a defeat before and lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers, which had already made the Ninth Prince dislike them very much. Now that the Ninth Prince had come, he had given them face by not punishing them immediately. If they were to run up and disturb them at this moment, there would be obvious consequences. Gu Chan sneered and said, "If there is anyone who doesn't want to practice and wants to come out to supervise, please come out and tell the Ninth Prince immediately." All the generals were silent. Gu Chan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, let's start the first item of military training now. Stand at attention until dusk." "Ah? We just knelt for the whole morning, and now you want us to stand for the whole afternoon?" Tian Ying said unhappily. "Ninth Prince, does General Tian have any opinions? Why don't you come out and talk to him?" Gu Chan turned around and shouted upwards. Tian Ying was frightened and waved his hand quickly, saying, "No need, Manager Gu, I won't say anything. I will practice whatever you say." "It should have been done a long time ago. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Let me tell you, the Ninth Prince said that you guys are too pampered. You must suffer a little. Only in this way can you strengthen your will. In seven days, the task of leading the troops to fight the enemy will still be handed over to you. You can make up for your crimes and make meritorious contributions. You can handle it by yourselves!" Gu Chan said cunningly. When the generals heard her words, they felt as if they had taken a reassurance pill, and the resistance in their hearts disappeared instantly. There is no doubt that if they want to keep their positions, they must defeat the enemy and make achievements. The current military training is actually the punishment given to them by the Ninth Prince. After figuring this out, the generals certainly did not dare to be negligent anymore. Gu Chan stopped talking nonsense and shouted, "Listen to the command! Stand at attention." The generals immediately stood up straight, not daring to move. Gu Chan said to Xue Lihua and Ren Nanshan, "Go get me a stack of papers and put a piece of paper between each of their legs. If anyone's paper falls to the ground, hit him with a stick." "Yes, Manager Gu." The two men responded while holding back their laughter. Then they followed Gu Chan's instructions and immediately ran to get a stack of paper. Then, as she said, they put a piece of paper between everyone's knees.
And because the paper was quite thin, everyone had to squeeze their legs together very tightly to hold the paper. If they relaxed even a little, the paper would fall between their legs. "Bang, bang, bang..." After a while, a series of deafening bangs rang out in the square. “Ah… Ouch… It hurts…” What followed was the screams of the beaten general. Gu Chan had someone bring a recliner and placed it in front of everyone. She sat down on the recliner directly, crossed her legs and started eating fruit. Two female soldiers stood beside her to serve her. Xue Lihua and Ren Nanshan each held a stick and walked back and forth in the team. All the generals gnashed their teeth in hatred and really wished to cut Gu Chan into pieces. In the meeting hall on the top floor of the command building. At this moment, Xuanyuan Qing was lying on a recliner, studying a chess manual with great interest. A soldier in silver armor walked in from outside and said, "Ninth Prince, Gu Chan asked Tian Ying and others to stand at attention and put a piece of paper between their legs. If the paper falls to the ground, they will be hit with a stick." "Interesting, this Gu Chan has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. Keep keeping an eye on him. Anyone who dares to go against him will be killed." Xuanyuan Qing said with a sneer. The silver-armored soldier nodded in agreement and immediately took his leave. In the square below. Tian Ying and the others didn't know at this time that Xuanyuan Qing had actually already decided to kill them. After standing at attention for more than an hour, a deputy general finally couldn't stand it anymore. After being hit by Xue Lihua, he was so angry that he kicked Xue Lihua to the ground. Then he ran to Gu Chan angrily, pointed at her nose and cursed, "You little brat, who do you think you are? The Ninth Prince asked you to train us, but he didn't ask you to torture us like this. All of us are generals of the Central Plains Camp after all. Who doesn't have a higher status than you? How dare you be so presumptuous in front of us?" "Oh! If you are so awesome, how come you lost the battle before? You even lost over a hundred thousand soldiers. How dare you say that!" Gu Chan sat up straight and sneered. The deputy general clenched his fists in anger, his whole body was shaking with anger, and he looked like he was about to go berserk. "That's right. It doesn't matter if you don't stand in this military posture. I will lead my men to fight the enemy to the death eighty miles away." "Yes, rather than being insulted by you here, we might as well die on the battlefield." "That's right, let's go, I won't stand anymore, this is bullshit military training, I don't care about it." Several generals in the rear immediately followed suit and sang a different tune. After yelling at Gu Chan repeatedly, they made a move to leave. But at this moment an accident happened. A soldier in silver armor suddenly rushed forward, drew out the long sword from his waist at lightning speed, aimed at the neck of the furious deputy general standing in front of Gu Chan, and chopped it fiercely. "Bah!" The next second, a hissing sound was heard, and the deputy general's head was chopped off by the silver-armored soldier on the spot. The head flew far away and hit the ground. Blood splattered everywhere where the deputy general's neck was broken. The scene was so scary! Gu Chan was the closest, and blood was splattered all over her. She sat on a recliner, completely stunned. Although beheadings were common in ancient times and were not considered a big deal, when she saw this scene from such a close distance, the feeling was still very shocking.
