Two hundred people died in the battle, others were captured, and 500 horses were captured. With this satisfactory result, Feng Xun and others returned in triumph.
Above the official road, Sun Fuhu and others were cleaning the battlefield. Most of the bows and arrows and the caltrops scattered were picked up and could be used again. The bodies of the bandits who died in the battle were dug and buried, and more than a thousand prisoners held their hands.
He was tied up with a rope and imprisoned with the bandits who had been captured before.
In this battle, the captives of the bandits were quite surprised. Many of them were even frightened. The scene of the thunderous explosion that day lingered in their minds for a long time, letting these uninformed people know that His Highness Prince Ji
Their power gave them a sense of invincibility.
The ancients learned little about culture and faced many unexplainable things, which made them easily attribute everything to the theory of ghosts and gods. They were superstitious, and after seeing the methods of Ji Wang Tang Ao, they thought it was gods and ghosts.
When they saw Tang Ao, in addition to fear, their eyes were replaced by respect.
There are even people who directly say that Tang Ao is the son of God, sent to rule the world. Otherwise, how can we explain those things that can make thunderous sounds and possess such powerful weapons that can hurt people?
The comments from the people below reached Tang Ao's ears, but he had no intention of explaining it. In this society where people are ignorant, perhaps a god is needed.
Xingsi and Tugou were tied up and brought to Tang Ao.
At this time, Xing Si had already woken up, but at this moment he was tied up and at the mercy of Tang Ao.
"Hmph!" When he was brought to Tang Ao, Xing Si still looked unruly. Even after entering the tent, he had no intention of kneeling down.
"Kneel down." Ao Qi shouted angrily and kicked Xing Si on the inside of his knee.
Feeling so strong that his whole body was weak, Xing Si knelt down in front of Tang Ao with a plop, but even then he refused to bow his head. Even if Ao Qi and three brothers stepped forward and pressed each other hard, they could not change this fact.
"Okay." Tang Ao waved his hand casually. He knew very well that people like Xing Si were not afraid of death at all. What they pursued was a man who stood upright and would not kneel to anyone but heaven and earth. Even in front of them.
When facing death, they will also look up to the sky and laugh, shouting that after eighteen years, I will be a good man again, etc.
For such a person, the more forceful you are on him, the stronger his resistance will be, and the more counterproductive the result will be.
"Tell me, what's your name?" Tang Ao asked, looking at Xing Si who was kneeling on the ground.
"I am Xing Si, what's going on?" Xing Si, who spoke arrogantly, seemed to know that he would not survive, and he put on a look on his face that he was not afraid of anyone.
"Xing Si. Well, I have heard of you, the number one hero in the green forest in the entire Jizhou territory, but I don't understand. There is no enmity between us, so why did you ambush my convoy?" Tang
Ao Ao thought of the Jizhou information he had obtained before, which had recorded Xing Si's name, and asked aloud.
Tang Ao really didn't expect this. Ordinarily, he was the prince of Daqian, and being his enemy would be a huge risk. Besides, he was just arriving in Jizhou for the first time, and he had never been here before. He really wanted to
It doesn’t make sense, why does Xingsi target himself?
"You have money, of course I'm going to steal it from you." Xing Siyi raised his head and gave a reason that was not a reason.
That's the reason, don't bandits make a living by robbing homes? Even the prince must be very rich, so robbing him is a normal thing.
But this reason may work for others, but it is not the case for Xing Si. Being able to become the number one hero in the green forest of Jizhou, and also having two thousand cavalry, such a large force, if
Saying that Xingsi can only fight, that is definitely not possible. He should also have a brain.
Even if a thoughtful person casually starts a war with a prince, that is not reckless, but simply seeking death. Who would believe him if he said there was no one behind him to support him?
It's just that Xingsi is a very loyal person, and it seems that he will not give up the deceased casually. Normally, Tang Ao would really have a headache, but when Xiaobai and the others discovered the other five hundred riders, Tang Ao was very worried.
Ao saw hope, and he had a feeling that the five hundred cavalry ambushing behind him should be the key.
It was at this time that Feng Xun and the others came back. As soon as they entered the tent, he didn't even look at Xing Si and the two men kneeling on the ground. Instead, he came to Tang Ao's ear and whispered something.
"Well done, bring the people here." Tang Ao's face was filled with joy, and when he looked at Xing Si, his eyes were full of confidence.
"No." After Feng Xun agreed, he turned around and left. Tang Ao's eyes also fell on Xing Si and said, "I'm afraid you haven't thought of it. When you want to deal with me, there is another person.
There is a force hiding in the dark, just waiting for us to fight to the point where we both lose, so that he can come out and clean up the mess, haha, you are just a poor person being taken advantage of."
"Huh?" Xing Si raised his head and looked confused.
Tang Ao knew that he couldn't convince this person with just a few words, but it didn't matter. Feng Xun and the others had already captured Dong Shu alive, and they had only used some small tricks to get him out of everything along the way.
.With Dong Shu here, I can’t help but believe it.
While Xing Si was still looking confused, wondering if Tang Ao was deceiving him or if this was really the case, Dong Shu, whose hands were also tied, was brought in. Considering that this person was afraid of death, he was still cooperative, so he
They were not tied up like they were when they were kidnapped.
Wearing a tattered general's armor and a look of embarrassment, Dong Shu entered the tent and immediately saw young Tang Ao sitting high above him.
Although he had never met Tang Ao before, he had also heard that this King Ji was very young and did not even have a crown. Looking at the people in the tent, only Tang Ao met this condition. At that moment, he knelt down with a plop.
He said in his mouth, "I have met His Highness King Ji, His Highness King Ji Jin An."
"Okay, let's talk about what's going on." Tang Ao didn't have much interest in such a boneless person and asked straight to the point.
"Nuo. Your Highness, King Ji, all this is what General An Zhiwu meant. The general is just following orders." Dong Shu opened his mouth and told everything he knew without details. Waiting for him
As soon as he shut up, a huge body bumped into him, "Dong Shu, your grandma's."
"Hold him down." Ao Qi said, rushed to the scene, and held down Xing Si who was cursing.
As soon as Dong Shu appeared, everything was revealed. Dong Shu first used Xing Si to have a life-and-death fight with Tang Ao, and then he took advantage of the situation and took the final advantage. However, he never expected that Xing Si would fail.
Not only that, even he, a fisherman, did not run away, but was also caught.
But Dong Shu didn't even think about it, who could he defeat with the five hundred cavalry he led?
"Hmph! Drag this useless person down and kill him." Tang Ao couldn't stand people like Dong Shu the most. He couldn't defeat his opponent in an upright manner on the battlefield, and even used conspiracy and trickery to still lose. It would be a waste for such a person to live.
food.
"No, please spare my life, His Highness Prince Ji. I know the situation in Jizhou very well. You will definitely be useful if you keep me here." Dong Shu didn't expect that Tang Ao would kill himself, and his face turned pale for a moment.
He turned pale and shouted desperately to save himself.
Tang Ao wanted to kill Dong Shu, just because he didn't want to cause trouble. He was loyal to King Zhong. If he kept him, wouldn't it be equivalent to telling King Zhong that your idea had already been seen through? Next, King Zhong
Will he become so angry that he will send a large army to kill Tang Ao without doing anything else?
With Tang Ao's current strength, being an enemy of King Zhong is naturally far worse. Yes, it's not the time to fall out, but Tang Ao will write down all of this and repay his debt with interest later.
After all, this is a war involving tens of thousands or even more troops. It is not as easy as smashing someone else's sedan chair and losing someone else's face in Daliang City. Many things need to be considered in the long term.
"Your Highness, since this Dong Shu is willing to be used by us, he should stay first." Zeng Tong and Han Ce, who were standing in the tent, spoke one after another. This time, as Tang Ao's staff, they also
They are coming to Jizhou, but they didn’t know much about this place before, so they were completely blind. If they have someone who is familiar with the situation to help them, many things will be much easier to handle.
The two staff begged for mercy at the same time, and Tang Ao couldn't help but lose face. He was just a dispensable person. After thinking about it, Tang Ao nodded, "Forget it, I'll leave this person to these two gentlemen.
But to the outside world, he is dead, do you understand?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, we understand that from today on, there will be no such person as Dong Shu in the world." Zeng Tong and Han Ce were like old foxes. How could they not understand what Tang Ao was thinking, so they nodded in agreement.
Dong Shu was taken away, and he will be held in solitary confinement. As for whether he can see people in public, it all depends on his performance. At this time, Tang Ao had already forgotten this person, and now he is
Staring at Xing Si.
Even Ao Qi was no match for this person. Even Xue Fei had to put in a lot of effort to attack. This was enough to prove that this person was a talent. Tang Ao had always cherished talents, and now he wanted to see who this person was.
It can't be used by him.
Of course, if he can't be used by him, even if this person has the ability to escape from heaven to earth, Tang Ao will definitely not keep him. That will leave trouble for himself, and he will not do such a stupid thing.
