"Behead them."
Chen Sansi ordered, "Tell everyone, anyone who dares to steal even a grain of food from the people will meet this fate."
"All fifteen of them to be beheaded?"
Teng Le hurriedly said, "Among them is an assistant general, who has also made contributions in the past."
Chen Sansi didn't speak, only looked up at him.
"I understand."
Teng Le dared not say more and could only go to carry out the order.
Banditry cannot be tolerated!
Once this mindset spreads, no matter how elite the troops, they will instantly become no better than bandits, a rabble, easily crushed!
And to put it bluntly,
how much stored grain can there be in the homes of the local people?!
Even if the army were to plunder them completely, how many more days could they last?
Fostering such a climate will only lead to quicker collapse!
"After the beheadings."
