Chapter 12 Iron Bull
Naturally, Tieniu heard Huang Xing's words clearly. He was a little unwilling but had no choice but to lower his head in silence. At this moment, the injured man on the ground broke the silence first and raised his hands to Liu Xun and said:
"Lord, in the final analysis, this has nothing to do with Tieniu. It's because I accidentally sprained my foot and can't run. Tieniu values love and refuses to leave me alone. We are from the same village. Tieniu insists that we share the blessings.
He was in trouble, so he forcibly carried me on his back. Otherwise, with his strength, he would never have ended up in this situation. Please ask the lord to keep Tieniu, he is really a rare and powerful general."
Tieniu scratched his head in a naive manner. After listening to his companion's words, he couldn't help but feel a little more disappointed, but he would not regret it. He could only say that this was his fate.
Liu Xun still had a good impression of Tieniu in his heart. He turned to look at Tieniu and asked: "Tieniu, your strength and stamina are very good, especially this spirit of loyalty is rare. But the military order has been
Order, you are eliminated."
After Tieniu heard the final decision, he glanced at his lord, waved his hands and nodded sadly without saying anything more.
Liu Xun looked at Tieniu in front of him and asked softly: "Do you regret it?"
Tieniu shook his head and said: "He is my neighbor in the same village, I can't ignore him."
Liu Xun sighed and winked at Huang Xing. As smart as Huang Xing was, he would naturally know what was going on.
Huang Xing pretended to flip through the registration book, and a look of disbelief immediately appeared on his movie-like face. His face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he said shamelessly: "My lord, please punish me. I am the last general."
I miscalculated the number of people, I just included Wang Hao, and there is still one person missing."
As soon as these words came out, Wang Hao on the side rolled his eyes.
Liu Xun was overjoyed and acted very cooperatively. He pretended to be acting and said, "Oh, is that really true?"
"This is absolutely true. Please punish me, my lord."
"Forget it, it's just that the prefect didn't explain the rules clearly. In this case, for the sake of fairness, let's also register this Iron Ox."
"If" Huang Xing immediately bowed down and said
This sudden reversal made Tieniu and his companions extremely happy. Although Tieniu had no education, he was not a fool. He definitely understood the meaning of this. After being moved, his burly body violently
He knelt down in front of Liu Xun and bowed with tears of gratitude: "Thank you so much, Lord, for your kindness. Tieniu will always remember your Lord's great kindness."
"Okay, how can such a big man cry like this? Get up. If you really want to thank me, then don't let me down in the second martial arts competition." Liu Xun looked at Tieniu in front of him.
Can't help but enjoy saying
"I will not disappoint my lord." Tieniu promised, patting his chest.
"Okay, that's it."
...
After Tieniu's name was written down, the simple selection process was completed and the matter came to an end.
Liu Xun saw that it was getting late, so he could only leave the second competition to start tomorrow. The first problem to be solved now is these eliminated soldiers. After all, it is easy for these people who are about to be eliminated if they are not comforted in time.
Causing trouble.
Liu Xun asked Wang Hao to send people to take the selected elite soldiers to new military camps for resettlement, while the remaining 20,000 old, weak, sick and disabled were brought to the school grounds by Huang Xing.
At this moment, Liu Xun was helpless looking at the listless remnants of the soldiers in front of him, but reality must always be faced. Liu Xun coughed dryly and shouted:
"Okay, don't act like your relatives are dead. We soldiers must be brave and disciplined. Only in this way can we be invincible. I have already set the rules for elimination, and I have also agreed with them.
You have made it clear, and it is naturally impossible for me to go back on my word. Now I officially announce that all your last 20,000 soldiers will be eliminated and you will withdraw from the military today."
As Liu Xun's words fell, the crowd below suddenly became excited. If it was not handled well, bloodshed might break out on the spot. Before they could take any action, Liu Xun continued:
"But since you have followed me, Liu Xun, as a soldier for so many years, and you have worked hard without any merit. I, Liu Xun, consider myself not an ungrateful person. Although you have been eliminated today, I will naturally not treat you badly. Although I did not treat you badly before.
As I said, those who are not in the top 30,000 will not be eligible to receive the remaining 50% of the military pay. But because of your trust in me, I will not abandon you. Now, I am going to organize you into twenty groups, each with
Form a group of one thousand people. And your status will be changed from soldiers to field soldiers, and you will be directly under the jurisdiction of this prefect.
I will not be able to give you money, but I will give you a large amount of land to farm, and I will also ensure that your farming environment is safe and stable, and that no one will dare to rob you of your food.
Of course, we can also give you discounts on your harvest in the future, but if there is an emergency ahead and you need your support, you must put down your hoe and go to support. After all, we are sitting on the same boat now. I will provide you with a safe environment, and you can cultivate the land with peace of mind.
No one will come to destroy your fields. From now on, we will be a community of interests, and I hope you will also understand the principle of losing one's lips and teeth."
Just as Liu Xun finished speaking, an older middle-aged man spoke up: "Lord, although what you said is good, we have been soldiers in the past few years and have nothing left, including farm tools, seeds, and cattle.
There is nothing. And there are still several months before the next harvest. We have not served as soldiers to eat food. We are hungry and have no ability to wait until the next harvest. We still ask the lord to make the decision for us."
After Liu Xun listened to this man's words very seriously, he smiled and said, "I have said before that I will not treat you old brothers badly. Now of course I will not break my promise. I have already thought of these issues you mentioned."
.I will provide you with all the seeds, cattle, farm tools, and other things you need for farming for free. And I will also provide you with food for a few months to fill your stomachs."
After the man and everyone present listened to Liu Xun's words, their hearts suddenly moved. The man who asked the question quickly bowed down and cried, "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness and virtue, which I will never forget."
As his words fell, tens of thousands of people behind him burst into tears. They had finally found a way to survive after being eliminated. And compared to becoming soldiers, perhaps more of them were more inclined to become farmers.
