County Magistrate Li, who was rubbing his hands, walked around Song Ji and looked at him playfully. The sergeants from Song, Chen, and other countries were not low-level officials. The sergeants from Wei, Zheng, and other countries were not high-level officials.
Because the Song Dynasty has a somewhat special system, the names of the official ranks are still the same, but the level of power is very different.
To put it bluntly, it means "low position" and power. Although the Wu State has a chaotic system, officers such as sergeants are at the level of "hundred-man generals" at most. But the Song State has at least a thousand men, and they are regular soldiers, and they are elite.
And it will definitely be equipped with a chariot.
Take Doctor Dai Yi and advance Sima Dai Ju. Under normal circumstances, the sergeants in his army can ignore him and only answer to the supreme commander.
"You are a powerful general of a great country, how can you humiliate me like this?"
Shangqiu "Hu Ben" sergeant Song Ji was very sad and angry, his eyes were wandering, and after glancing at Li Jie, he immediately lowered his head.
"Keep your head up."
Hearing Li Jie's kind tone, Song Ji thought that Wu Guo's strong man was provoked by him and finally wanted to treat him with courtesy, so he felt a little relieved and raised his head.
Snapped!
A loud slap in the face directly knocked out one of Song Ji's teeth. The trigeminal nerve on his face was numbed on the spot. Song Ji didn't feel any pain for the first time.
After waiting for a while, the astonishing pain was finally fed back to the brain.
However, he did not dare to wail loudly. He just lay on the ground like a dead dog, twitching constantly and not daring to move.
"Are you pretending to be your mother? You are obviously a waste, but you still pretend that you can't be killed and not humiliated? When you take the lead in kneeling down to beg for mercy, you have no dignity at all. Is it me who insults you, a waste? Isn't it you?
Aren’t you the even more useless monarch like Song Lufei?”
Ha...tui!
"Someone is coming!"
"Shou Li!"
"Drag it down and parade it in front of Xue Ren."
"yes!"
"Send an arrow over to persuade Marquis Xue to surrender. In one sentence: Those who surrender will not be killed, but those who resist will be punished severely."
"yes!"
Sha Hen received the military order and immediately drove a carriage and two crossbowmen to the position of Xue Guo's troops.
In fact, if County Magistrate Li leads his troops once again, all of Xue's troops will be killed. But there is no need. First, he has to be busy catching the fleeing Shangqiu "Tiger Ben" from the Song Dynasty; second, he will save some money for the crocodile men and brave men.
physical strength.
The people responsible for cleaning the battlefield this time were all crossbowmen. A large number of short spears were collected again, some of which had been broken or cracked.
"It needs to be heavier."
Picking up a short spear that already had cracks, he cut it with his palm like a knife. With a snap, the short spear broke into two pieces.
This move frightened many crocodile men and brave men, thinking that the boss had reached such a level of miraculous power. But those soldiers who surrendered from the Song Kingdom simply closed their eyes. They could not imagine that a human body of flesh and blood could actually
It can be so powerful.
County Magistrate Li threw it away casually. He was about to complain that this junk was a one-time use and had to be redesigned. It could not use the traditional craftsmanship of "Baisha". Then he looked up and looked around. A pair of pairs of adoring eyes looked over. County Magistrate Li
I was stunned for a moment and thought to myself: Damn it...what's going on?
Not far away, Shapi also picked up a short spear and turned his palm into a knife, imitating County Magistrate Li and slashing it.
"ah--"
Shapi, who was covering his palms, could only stomp his feet in pain. He put his hands in his crotch to ease the pain. The short spear did not move at all and he was still lying on the ground.
The people around were even more shocked. Those surrendered soldiers of the Song Kingdom had completely lost the courage to even glance at Li Jie, let alone the idea of resisting.
When County Magistrate Li came back to his senses, he suddenly felt relieved. He stood with his hands behind his hands and his chin raised, looking at Xuecheng in the distance, his whole body felt like he was floating.
That's right, my iron palm is floating on water. Is it because I have earned my reputation in vain?
Even though the rind of Shapi is really the rind, doesn’t he have a clue whether this short spear can be chopped with one palm?
At this time, Xue's troops had reacted, and a large number of Song's defeated troops fled to Xuecheng. Those defeated soldiers had already told Xue Hou that their sergeants had been captured alive by the fierce men.
"Ah?! Meng, why is the macho man here?"
Marquis Xue was extremely shocked. You must know that everyone thought that Li Jie returned to the village wall after negotiating with Dai Ju. Moreover, what he saw from the inspection car was indeed that Li Jie did not leave the camp.
Li Jie suddenly appeared, how could he not shock Marquis Xue?
Marquis Xue did not think he could compete with Li Jie, the powerful and powerful man of Biyang. Last year, Xue State ceded a large piece of land to Biyang State just because he stepped on shit.
The Xue State itself does not have much territory. If it is cut twice, the country will almost be destroyed.
Then I saw a carriage roaring in the distance. The archer on the carriage was full of arrows. The arrows were shot into the formation of Xue Guo's troops. The arrows were tied with silk cloth and there were words on the silk cloth.
"Your Majesty!"
"What...is it?"
Xue Hou's lips trembled. He had actually guessed what it was, but he didn't dare to look.
"Jiangyin Shaheng shot an arrow. Your Majesty... take a look at it."
He is not a fool. He knows what Li Jie is paying attention to at this moment without even thinking about it.
It must be a letter of surrender.
"well……"
With a sigh, Xue Hou felt that he was extremely unlucky. In the winter, he was still energetic, but now that summer is here, he is exhausted.
After untying the silk cloth from the arrow shaft and unfolding it, Xue Hou sighed again: "Alas..."
There were words written on the silk with the blood of an unknown person: Those who surrender will not be killed, and those who resist will be severely punished.
Gulu gulu gulu...
Sha Hem's carriage roared past again. Xue Hou looked for the sound and saw an unlucky man with disheveled hair tied up on the carriage and tied to the place where the flag should have been erected.
"That's... that's... Ziji?!"
Marquis Xue was furious, "Jiangyin people are so rude!"
However, after being furious, all of them turned pale and frightened. There is no doubt that the people of Jiangyin had only one attitude: surrender, or be like Sergeant Song Ji and have millions of people watch their ugly behavior.
When countries are in dispute, nobles are always treated with courtesy. After all, countries are more or less related to each other.
However, County Magistrate Li said that this is none of my damn business? My younger brother is either a low-income person or a marginal figure. The first horse is a savage, and the double-flowered red stick is also a savage. Master Baifan still left the family to start his own business. He is the only guest with a bit of superior blood.
He is still an ugly man who lives in more than twenty countries begging for food.
Anyway, County Magistrate Li is not related to the princes of other countries, so there is no reason for this.
If he had to say that it had something to do with it, it would be with Chen Guo. After all, Chen Guo's snake spirit was subdued by him. Now he just plays with snakes for a while every day when he has nothing to do, enjoying both spiritual and physical enjoyment.
But if playing with a white snake can make him have any conscience towards Chen Guo, there is no way. Unless Chen Guozhijun, a cheap father-in-law, is willing to bring another snake to his door, then County Magistrate Li can consider it.
If you consider going to war with Chen Guo in the future, you can follow the story of "staying away".
After all, you can't say that you don't recognize someone when you lift your pants.
On this point, County Magistrate Li is still very conscientious. Like the two beauties given to Ziqi by the Yue Kingdom, Ziqi, an old guy, can't get hard, so naturally he can't enjoy them, so he gets the advantage of Lao Li in vain.
The county magistrate knew clearly that these were Yue women, and they might be spies, but what does it matter? They were thrown into Yinxiang and made to be mistresses, assisting white concubines, beautiful women, and female concubines in their work.
Pretty good too?
Making the best use of materials and making the best use of people's talents is the basic operation of a foreman.
There are some scraps on the construction site. Don't you also need to get a table, chair, bench, flowerpot, urinal or something?
So from the bottom of my heart, County Magistrate Li will only give face to people who are eating from the same pot as him. His butt is the same.
As for talking about the traditions of the princes of the world, if it has nothing to do with him, I will kill him if I dare.
As long as he can be beaten to death, he has nothing to say.
Anyway, as long as King Gou Chen of Wu survives and makes trouble in the world, there will be no problem at all. Even if there is a scapegoat, the biggest scapegoat will be Wu Guolai.
Who calls him the king of Wu?
So now Li Jie humiliated Song Ji without any pressure, and frightened the king of Xue State to the extreme.
Marquis Xue might have been lucky, thinking that he was the king of a country, so he had to have the dignity of a king no matter what.
But now it seems that Wu Guomao is not a fucking thing!
"Southern barbarians, rude! Unmoral! Shameless!"
After cursing for a long time, Xue Hou was overcome with sadness and tears flowed down his face. What could he do if he didn't surrender? At this moment, the capital of the country was behind, but the city gates were closed tightly and the city head changed.
We have already lost a country, but now we are just losing another person.
"well……"
With a slap on the thigh, another long sigh came out. Marquis Xue, wiping away his tears and sighing, looked up and looked around. These are his ministers, and now they will follow him, the king, to become slaves of the subjugated country.
Just when Marquis Xue was about to reminisce about the past, he heard a voice from the Song Dynasty not far away: "If Marquis Xue surrenders, he will have his own mansion and beautiful concubine in Yangcheng; if all the gentlemen of Xue Guo surrender sincerely, Jiang Yinzi can also guarantee it."
The houses of all the disciples will be safe, and the officials and titles will not change."
"..."
"..."
Suddenly, Xue Hou stopped crying and looked around again. The eyes of these ministers, who had originally looked defeated, all lit up.
It's just... very, very bright.
"Jun, Your Majesty..."
There was a doctor who seemed to be a decent man, a very honest and honest kind, but at this moment, his smile looked like that of a bloodthirsty beast in Xue Hou's eyes.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
…
One after another, the voices rushed to the forefront, and their eyes were full of blazing fire, and they all stared at Xue Hou.
"Everyone in the Xue Kingdom can surrender, but I, the Xue family, cannot surrender."
After grieving, Marquis Xue closed his eyes tightly. When he reopened his eyes, he wiped away his tears and said loudly, "However, the current situation is unfavorable and the country's destiny is not going to survive. Even if Xue cannot surrender, he will surrender! All the kings, kings and ministers.
, just... don’t pass."
"Your Majesty..."
"Your Majesty."
…
Both the monarch and his ministers of the Xue State bowed to each other with great courtesy, and after waiting for a while, the Marquis of Xue straightened his clothes, and then walked out of the position of the Xue State troops with his head held high, holding a brocade box in his hand. Among them, naturally, was the "power" of the monarch of the Xue State.
The bronze seal of the king is the bronze right, and the bronze right of the "king of the world" is the great power.
At this moment, Marquis Xue raised his hands of the "power" of the king of Xue State, and then knelt down by the road, waiting for the arrival of Li Jie, the son of Jiangyin.
Gulu gulu gulu gulu...
Another carriage came over, and the Crocodile Man, who had already taken a short rest, not only did not remove his armor at this moment, but instead added another layer of armor.
There is a forest of spears and an array of archers.
Xue Guo's troops understood the situation and disarmed early for fear of being misunderstood by the Crocodiles.
Standing on the carriage and looking down from a high position, Li Jie looked at Xue Hou: "It's such an unfortunate age. When you reach middle age, you end up unemployed. Everything is over."
But County Magistrate Li has no sympathy for Xue Hou. When he was a foreman, he saw too many "people who have nothing to do when they reach middle age". Regardless of their previous ideals, dreams, or delusions, most middle-aged men would choose to give up.
, For the sake of daily necessities, for the sake of my wife, children, and children, I should accept being cowardly and accept it; I should accept it if I am cowardly.
In this world, middle-aged people who choose to grit their teeth and persevere and would rather live in pieces than live in ruins are all rare from ancient times to the present.
The fat and hairless people that Foreman Li had met at the wine table were obviously not included in this list; Xue Hou was also not included in this list.
Ren's surname is Xue. In the final analysis, it is a small company inherited from ancestors. It has been operating for hundreds of years and has nothing to show for it. It is still being squeezed by the emergence of large companies one after another. The living space is squeezed.
It's time for the company to close down and the whole family to survive.
When he reached middle age, Mr. Xuehou burst into tears and murmured a very sad voice.
"I dare to ask Li Zi, whether my old wife and children are in the city?"
"Laojun's life, wife and children's life, choose one of the two, which one should Laojun choose?"
"I also ask Li Zi to take pity on me and save my wife and children. I'm forty-six, that's enough, that's enough."
"Um."
Li Jie nodded, and then slowly pulled out the sword from his waist, "This will fulfill Laojun's wish."
After saying that, Li Jie suddenly swung his sword and slashed at Xue Hou.
Xue Hou was trembling with his eyes closed tightly. There were even wrinkles around his eyes because of too much force. He even bit his lips with his teeth and drew blood. In this last moment of his life, he used up all his courage.
call!
I feel the cold wind. Why is it so cold in summer?
Xue Hou thought in his heart: Death.
After just waiting for a while, although the great terror came, it left again. The cold wind patted his face again. Xue Hou opened his eyes and saw Li Jie's extremely burly body.
The owner of this majestic body was grinning at him: "You are so brave, Mr. Li! I admire you!"
After saying that, Li Jie laughed, put away the knife, stretched out his hands, and helped Xue Hou up: "Li has been walking around the world for many years, Lao Juncheng is a true hero! Okay! Okay! Okay!"
It didn't look like a lie, it didn't look like a taunt. Xue Hou was trembling and still trembling in fear. He was afraid of death. This was not a lie.
However, for the sake of his wife and children, the king’s head should be lost if it is lost.
"Plum... plum... don't kill the old man?"
"Xie is a strong man appointed by the king. He was raised by the king in the wilderness. How dare he surpass his subordinates and slaughter them wantonly? Even though I am old, I am still a king."
The implication was that Marquis Xue also understood that he was being asked to go to Gusu to meet King Gouchen of Wu.
Thinking of Gou Chen, Xue Hou shivered even more violently, feeling that the shadow in this life was caused by two Wu people.
But I'm finally alive, and it's good to be alive.
"Old man...Old man..." His lips parted, Xue Hou escaped from death, and he was filled with emotion, "Old man, thank you Li Zi for not killing me!"
These words were true and sincere, and there was absolutely no adulteration. From the moment Xue Hou left the troops of Xue State, his heart as a Xue people was already dead.
He is not a foolish king, and his ministers are not sycophants, but he, the king, has been abandoned by his ministers.
Although it is not stated explicitly, it does not matter whether it is the process or the result.
Li Jie listened to Sha Hen talking to the side. The two of them spoke in the local dialect of Wu. Xue Hou could not understand it at all, but he could probably guess from a few words that Sha Hen was talking about what happened in Xue Guo's camp just now.
matter.
"After the surrender of the Xue people, Xuecheng and the home of the Yingqing officials were all under control. The dirty work... was left to the 'Yi Danying'. I will tell the officials and generals of other countries about carving up the country of Xue. If all the countries are willing to come together,
If the country doesn't want to bear the bad name, then the person named Jia can be used officially."
"yes!"
Let Captain Jia do the dirty work. If this reputation is too bad, when word spreads, it will be said that Captain Jia is greedy and has his own way. He killed a Captain Jia, which not only cleared up the power in Xuecheng, but also bought people's hearts.
As for whether it is a real bribe or a fake bribe, it doesn't matter. It is just the reason in one's heart. The past is the best, and it doesn't matter if you can't get over it.
If those doctors and generals who come for "vacation" within the "Second Ring Road" of Biyang Kingdom are willing to show their faces for benefits, then with the support of dozens of countries, the international public opinion will be nothing.
This is called legal robbery!
If you don't accept it, go to the United Nations and sue me!
Sha Hen didn't have any feelings for the "Yi Dan Camp". Even though some of the "Yi Dan Camp" captains were trained by him, as long as Li Jie ordered these "Yi Dan Camp" captains to be made, he did not hesitate and did not hesitate.
No pressure at all.
As one of the core members of County Magistrate Li's team, Shaheng knew very well that the boss was not looking at cats and dogs, but was waiting for the superior King Wu to burp.
The two battles of forcing Yang sounded like fruitful results, but compared with the entire Great Wu Kingdom?
Perhaps in the eyes of others, this is wishful thinking.
But in Sha Heng's eyes, Shou Li is omnipotent!
"Laojun, please get in the car. Neither Laojun nor his wife is in Xuecheng."
"ah?!"
Marquis Xue trembled, thinking that Xuecheng had been breached before and that his wife and children were dead.
However, Li Jie said with a smile: "Laojun has no worries. Laojun and his wife are all going to play in Biyang. After staying for a short time, they will go to Jiangnan together to see the scenery of Gusu. How about that?"
"But it depends on Li Zi's arrangement."
"good!"
Knowing that his wife and children were safe, Marquis Xue didn't care so much. He stood next to Li Jie with his head hanging down and let Li Jie do whatever he wanted with him.
County Magistrate Li is very satisfied now. He wants to cripple Xuecheng and then frighten the Song Dynasty. However, relying solely on the merchants in the city is of no use.
How much property does Xue Guo have? Who is rich, who is poor, who is prosperous, who has a beautiful daughter, who knows better than Marquis Xue?
The king of a country, such a traitor is the best!
