Sun Wu said: "Military orders are difficult to implement. This is the responsibility of the general." So the general ordered him repeatedly, but the maids still did not listen. Sun Wu went to play the drum himself, and the maids burst into laughter. Sun Wu was furious and said: "The military order has been reiterated many times but cannot be implemented. This is the responsibility of the soldiers." He ordered the two captains of Wu Wang's concubine to be beheaded. Choose two other captains, and then they will play the drums.

As the supervisor of the army, you are contemptuous of military orders. Han Xin asked the Secretary of Military Affairs: What crime did Yin Gai commit? Cao Shen replied: "Dating with the army and arriving late, if you are guilty of slowing down the army, you should be executed!" Liu Bang heard about this and asked Li Sheng to bring his handwriting to rescue Yin. Li Sheng broke into the military camp with his Pegasus, but was stopped by the sergeant. Han Xin then asked the Secretary of Military Affairs what crime Li Sheng had committed. Cao Shen said: "Military law stipulates that anyone who rushes into the army will be guilty of underestimating the army and should be beheaded as a sign of the three armies!" Han Xin said: Li Sheng has the king's intention, so he is exempted. His own death is to kill the groom.

In order to show the military order! So Yin Gai and the horseman were beheaded. From then on, killing one person served as a warning to hundreds, and Han Xin's army was invincible and helped Liu Bang conquer the country.

Cao Cao said: "If someone wants to harm me, I will feel it in my heart." So he said to his favorite minister: "If you hide a knife in your arms and come to me secretly, I will definitely say that I feel it in my heart. If I want to catch you and torture you, as long as you don't tell it, it won't do you any harm if I keep it, and I will repay you generously afterwards." His cronies believed his words, so they didn't do anything after he was arrested. Terrified, he was eventually killed. This man didn't know until his death that he would actually be killed. However, Cao Cao's men thought that Cao Cao did have this ability to be moved by danger, and those who wanted to kill him did not dare to do it.

Sun Jian wanted to see Zhang Zi, but Zhang Zi refused to see him. Sun Jian said: "We encountered resistance as soon as we launched our troops. How can we maintain our military power in the future?" So he pretended to be seriously ill and the whole army was in panic. Sun Jian sent someone to tell Zhang Zi that it seemed that he was seriously ill and it would be difficult to fight again, so he planned to give Zhang Zi some troops and horses. Zhang Zi thought that it was reasonable and that people were about to die and his words were also good, so he brought a few people to Sun Jian's camp, where they were immediately caught and executed. This move served as a warning to the monkeys. From now on, wherever Sun Jian's troops went to the prefectures and counties, the locals had prepared food for Sun Jian.
