One report was about Centurion Ma Youliang's unit failing to assault a military fort, resulting in the centurion's death, and the remaining dozen men who retreated were sentenced to execution.
In the Yan Army regulations, if the main general dies without winning the battle, the subordinates who survive must be buried with him.
Lord Zheng's directive was: rescind the executions, send them to the vanguard army to serve with a guilty charge.
Another report stated that a mass brawl broke out involving hundreds in Luo Ling's civilian labor camp, triggered by dissatisfaction when Jin land laborers discovered their meals were inferior to those of Yan region laborers.
The military discipline officer proposed executing both leaders of the disturbance and the captains of the civilian labor camps, with accomplices to be punished by whipping.
It's fair to say, both sides received thirty lashes.
Lord Zheng's directive was to only punish the Jin land laborers and the camp captain.
