772 Confronting the Princes

Seeing a group of soldiers coming out of a commoner's house, carrying food, property, and a crying young girl, the girl's parents cried and held their daughter's hand to save her, but were killed by the soldiers who thought they were making trouble. Luo Tianming finally couldn't help it and urged him to step forward, swung his iron spear and beat them, breaking the hands and feet of the soldiers.

All the bones broken by Luo Tianming were comminuted fractures, and there was basically no possibility of recovery.

In this era, the end of being disabled in limbs is only one death, and there is no chance of survival.

Luo Tianming did this on purpose to let these soldiers suffer enough and die before they die.

The team of soldiers fell to the ground and screamed, immediately attracting many companions.

One of the lieutenants had the highest official position and stepped forward and asked, "Why did this general attack my men?"

Luo Tianming said lazily: "I don't like them. Is this reason enough?"

The captain said angrily: "General, it is better to give a reasonable reason. The general is not easy to bully when my head comes to the front."

Luo Tianming suddenly said, "It turns out that it is the soldier of the latter general Yuan Gaolu. No wonder he is so arrogant. But I just don't give face. What can you do? I would like to remind you that if you want to report to your descendant general, it's better to be faster, otherwise I don't know how many more people will be killed!"

As he said that, he urged the horse to charge again. Any soldiers carrying money or dragging women were interrupted by him, even the captain was no exception.

He roamed the city of Luoyang alone, leaving behind screams everywhere he went, which quickly alarmed the others.

Zhang Fei was the first to run out. When he saw this, he immediately furiously said, "Wu Anguo, what are you doing? Do you want to rebel and surrender to Dong Zhe?"

Luo Tianming sneered and said, "Zhang Fei, are you blind? Can't you see who I hit? Or do you think they did the right thing?"

Zhang Fei really didn't look carefully at who was injured, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with letting the soldiers relax.

In ancient times, there were not so many ways to boost morale. The most commonly used one was that before attacking a certain city, the general would speak out and capture the city without sealing the sword for three days! What's more, it would be possible to not seal the sword for ten days!

What does not mean to seal a sword? It means letting soldiers do whatever they want in the city.

In later generations, the Qing army attacked Yangzhou and Jiading, and made Yangzhou three massacres in Jiading for ten days, which was a benefit to the soldiers.

This move was not original to the Qing army, but has existed since ancient times. Although the Three Kingdoms period has not yet formed a fixed order, it has also taken shape, so Zhang Fei was not disgusted with this kind of thing.

But Luo Tianming could not accept this kind of morale-boosting method, so he took the initiative without hesitation.

Although Zhang Fei was not disgusted with this kind of thing, he could not blatantly say that this was the right thing to do. When Luo Tianming questioned him, he immediately didn't know how to answer.

Just when the two were in a stalemate, Liu Bei and Guan Yu also arrived.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu were both civilians, and they were different from Zhang Fei, who was considered a powerful man. They were more sympathetic to the common people, so they stood on Luo Tianming's side without hesitation.

Liu Bei even ordered: "Second brother and third brother, you will lead the headquarters to assist the Bahou in rectifying military discipline and send all the injured soldiers back to their camp."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei originally had no direct army, but they performed well in the previous battles, and the coalition forces needed their efforts, so the eight princes each divided part of the army and gave them the control.
