"Do you think that since we have defeated the enemy fifty miles away, you can rest easy?"

"Who are the military regulations for?"

Kou Ji asked three times in succession, leaving the soldiers speechless.

Kou Ji returned and ordered his subordinates behind him, "Go and ask the nobles who are guarding the prisoners. Ask them if they would like me to send someone to carry them over in an eight-carriage sedan chair."

The official immediately agreed and quickly followed Kou Ji's order.

Not long after, a group of soldiers, led by a personal officer, arrived at Kou Ji's side.

Without waiting for them to salute, Kou Ji ordered his subordinates: "Pull them down and chop them all."

"Privy Councilor, the loss of the granary has nothing to do with the humble officials and others."

The soldiers who had just arrived shouted in horror.

Kou Ji sneered and said, "The fact that the prisoner escaped under your noses has nothing to do with you, right?"

The leading soldier swallowed his saliva and said stammeringly: "The Privy Council envoys, the prisoners of humble rank and others are all here. There are not many of them. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to check."

Kou Ji sarcastically said: "The prisoners who attacked the granary and burned the grain and grass appeared out of thin air?"

"Then... people in humble positions don't know."

"..."

"Oh……"

Kou Ji snorted and stopped paying attention to them. Instead, he asked the official: "What are you waiting for? Does my order not work?"

The officer was stunned and quickly ordered his subordinates: "Take them all down."

When the soldiers guarding the prisoners saw Koji's men surrounding them, they shouted in horror.

"Privy Councilor! There is nothing wrong with the humble ministers and others. Why do you want to kill the humble ministers and others? The humble ministers and others are not convinced!"

Kou Ji's eyes fell on them again and said coldly: "You are smart, but you are too smart. Do you think that by borrowing 3,000 prisoners from elsewhere and filling them into the prisoner camp, I won't know about your dereliction of duty?"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the soldiers guarding the prisoners changed, and they all looked at the leading soldier.

The leading soldier gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "I don't know what you are talking about."

Kou Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, "You really can't shed tears until you see the coffin. Do you need me to pull out all the prisoners and count them one by one?"

The leading soldier slowly lowered his head and said firmly: "I have no regrets despite my humble duty."

Kou Ji smiled, "You are really stupid. You are still carrying it to this point. Do you think Gao Chugong and Zhu Neng captured so many prisoners this time that they didn't even count them clearly? I

How is it possible to know exactly how many people there are, right?"

Kou Ji's face turned cold, "Go to the prisoner camp and bring your people out."

Kou Ji didn't refer to anyone.

But after he finished speaking, a frail middle-aged man walked out from behind him, bowed his hand to Kou Ji, and rushed to the prisoner camp.

The leading soldier's legs began to tremble slightly and his shoulders began to shake, but he gritted his teeth and did not let go.

When the middle-aged man behind Kou Ji took four people from the prisoner camp and appeared in front of Kou Ji.

"Plop..."

"Plop..."

The soldiers guarding the prison camp fell to the ground one by one.

Some people even shouted: "Privy Master Kou, spare your life, I realize my mistake!"

Then, the leading soldier still gritted his teeth.

Koji ignored him and didn't even let Wude's spies tell them what these people had done.

Kou Ji just said coldly to the soldiers who were begging for mercy: "Remember, the reason why you died is because your captain is a fool!"

As soon as these words came out.

The soldiers guarding the prison camp all looked at the leading soldier.

The leading soldier remained silent.

He knew he was dead, so begging for mercy was useless.

He didn't want to beg for mercy or surrender.

Because he doesn't want people to think he is weak.

"Pull it down and chop it!"

Kou Ji gave a cold command.

When the subordinate officers and men raised up the soldiers guarding the prison camp, they finally collapsed.

They pointed at the leading soldiers and shouted curses.

The leading soldier gritted his teeth, raised his head suddenly, and pointed at the soldiers who were kneeling on the ground guarding the food and grass, "We failed in our duty because they gave us wine.

We have to die, and they have to die too."

Kou Ji snorted coldly, "They can survive because they know how to take the initiative to admit their mistakes."

The leading soldier finally couldn't hold it any longer. He stared at Ko Ji and roared: "They gave us the wine, and they were the ones who made us make mistakes. Why do we have to die but they can live?!"

Why?!"

Kou Ji sneered and said: "Do you really think I will kill you for one warehouse of grain? Keep you, you can help me grab ten warehouses, kill you, I will get nothing."

I am a person who rarely kills my own people.

As long as you recognize your mistakes and can correct them, I will give you a chance to live.

But they admitted their mistake. When I arrived, they immediately appeared in front of me and admitted their mistake.

And you?

You first sent people to borrow 100 prisoners from your colleagues, and collected 3,000 to make up for the shortcomings in your prisoner camp.

Then just pretend nothing happened.

If someone hadn't reported your actions to me in advance, let me know the inside story, and dug you out, I'm afraid you wouldn't have admitted anything.

I can't tolerate people like you.

I won’t keep it under my hands.”

"Pull it out and chop it!"

Kou Ji ordered again.

The officer dragged the man away from Kou Ji, and the man shouted hysterically, "It's obviously their fault from beginning to end, why don't they have to die?! Why don't they have to die?!"

Kou Ji ignored him.

After the soldiers guarding the prison camp were dragged to the guillotine, it didn't take long for screams and desperate roars to be heard.

Kou Ji acted as if he hadn't heard anything. He stared at the soldiers kneeling on the ground and said coldly: "You also heard what I just said, but don't be too happy too early.

Sometimes it's more comfortable to die than to live.

The food you keep is enough for 50,000 people for three days.

I want you to go to the battlefield and take three days' worth of food for 50,000 people.

And we must chop off an equal number of your heads, as well as the same number of heads of the soldiers guarding the prison camps."

The soldiers kneeling on the ground all lowered their heads and responded with a heavy voice.

"You only have half a month...and..."

Kou Ji looked at all the soldiers and said loudly: "I, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, can only die standing and will never live on their knees. If I find someone kneeling at all times in the future, I will break his legs and demote him."

For the sin of the people, let him kneel for the rest of his life."

As soon as these words were spoken, the soldiers who were kneeling on the ground all stood up and answered again.

Kou Ji ordered the Wudesi spies behind him, "Take them to chase Zhu Neng's team and let Zhu Neng supervise them to kill the enemy."

The people from Wude Division agreed.

Kou Ji no longer paid attention to them, but took his own people and walked through blood and water to the largest mansion in Tanshan City.

After arriving at the mansion, I took a short rest.

Kou Ji took a pen and paper, wrote a prohibition order, and ordered it to be quickly sent to all the armies.

Not long after Kou Ji issued the ban on alcohol, a young man hurried into the main hall holding a volume of documents.

"Sir, I have already counted the grain, cattle and sheep in Tanshan City, and the quantity is not as large as you imagined."

After the young man entered the main hall, he quickly reported to Kou Ji.

Kou Ji asked in a deep voice: "The number of prisoners we brought out this time was 2.7 million. Excluding those assigned to Jingnan Road and Northwest Road, there are still about 800,000 left.

How long can Tanshan City have enough food to feed 800,000 people?"
