Chapter 1365 1365: Tired and Beating Workers (Part 2) [Asking for monthly votes]
Gong Xiqiu is simply the nemesis of military commanders.
Those who can defeat him cannot defeat him, and those who can defeat him cannot defeat him. To a certain extent, he can be regarded as invincible.
The reinforcements were defeated in the first battle, and many people fled.
Those who could not escape became prisoners, awaiting their fate.
Anyone who often leads troops in war knows what kind of treatment you will get when you are a prisoner - generally speaking, this is directly proportional to your ability and status.
Only those with ability and status are worthy of being recruited and redeemed!
Prisoners of this level are usually entertained with good wine and good food, waiting for the real person to come forward to decide whether the prisoner should stay or stay.
Prisoners who have no ability or status are in dire straits. They are subjected to basic operations such as starvation, starvation and severe beatings. Methods like boiling eagles are used to completely suppress the prisoners' desire to resist. Some may even be treated as living targets and pushed to the shooting range for the enemy. Have fun while feasting.
For a combative general, how can a dead target that is motionless be more interesting than a living target that can run, jump, beg for mercy, and scream?
Judging from Gong Xiqiu's behavior, he is also a cruel man.
They waited anxiously for several days.
No one had food withheld from him, nor was he taken out and beaten severely. Except for the fact that Dan Mansion was imprisoned and his freedom was restricted, it was no different from usual. Everyone did not expect any luck, and was only worried that this was a sign of the coming storm: "... well."
Just as he was sighing, an uninvited guest came into the tent.
Everyone in the tent felt like they were facing a powerful enemy.
_(:з ∠)_
In order to save the manpower to guard the prisoners, these reinforcement generals were imprisoned in multiple rooms, which also saved Gong Xiqiu from going to each room to inform: "Ma... His Highness is back, you all are ready to prepare and clean up a human being." .Remember, say what you need to say, and treat yourself as a mute when it comes to what you shouldn’t say. Be more sensible and don’t force me to slap a few of you on happy days..."
Gong Xiqiu was so dismissive that everyone looked at him angrily.
"Seniors can be killed, but not humiliated!"
"It's such a shame and humiliation, it's better to kill us!"
"Yes! Don't think that we will succumb to you just to survive, and let you be scorned and humiliated by your words!" These people are not military generals who got up from the bottom. Even if they are not from aristocratic families, they are still wealthy. They have not been abused since they were young. People have been treated like this! Warn them to recognize their identity? Think they are cats and dogs?
Gong Xiqiu didn't expect that his casual warning would elicit such a big reaction, and he said strangely: "My defeated general is not very capable, but his spirit is quite high. I came here to run errands to deliver a message because His Highness thinks so highly of you, why do you still use Qiao?" Already?"
"you--"
Gong Xiqiu didn't want to listen to the nonsense they were grinding back and forth like a chariot. He kept saying that he didn't want to be humiliated, and he said it with iron bones. He didn't see any of them drawing a sword to commit suicide. If they were willing to commit suicide, I guarantee that no one would stop them. They do their best!
I thought so in my heart, but didn't say it out loud.
If you really want to stimulate someone to the point of suicide, he will have to be criticized.
Gong Xiqiu came suddenly and left in a hurry.
No one knew what he was doing.
Come over and say a bunch of irritating things and then run away?
"...What did he just say, 'Your Highness is back'?" Not everyone can use the title "His Highness". First of all, there is a serious palace, and Xia Houli's group of reckless thieves are obviously not qualified. "This Your Highness refers to that Xia Houli
?”
"You will know soon what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd."
When the time came, they found that they still couldn't understand.
The night banquet is indeed a celebration banquet.
As prisoners, they were not tied up and used as trophies to display their military exploits. Instead, they were placed in the lower seats. The leaders of the reinforcements were not stupid people. After seeing this scene, they felt a little more at ease. No matter how bad the seats were, they were still sitting.
This proved that Xia Houli did not intend to kill them all, but his intention to win over was more obvious. The people among them secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They could live, and no one wanted to die worthlessly. Even if they were the defeated party and attended the victory banquet of the victor, it would be somewhat embarrassing.
When I looked up, the main seat was hanging in the air.
Looking away again, Gong Xiqiu naturally took the top position among the generals.
The other generals had no doubt about this, and looked at Gong Xiqiu with reverence, respect, and indescribable eagerness. They even saw an extremely tall and burly man shyly walking up to Gong Xiqiu to toast him.
He clearly has a rugged appearance, with a full beard and a strong masculine look, but now he is talking in a low voice, looking at the big bird and looking at him.
"I will serve you some wine at the end."
The ending sound is a wave of three tremors.
"Speaking humanly, don't force me to hit you!" Gong Xiqiu Duanjiu's hand was obviously shaking, and he rubbed his arm back and forth to wipe away the goose bumps. It was obvious that he couldn't stand this either, "It's disgusting to me."
The general said seriously: "I have an unkind invitation."
Gong Xiqiu calmed down and said, "Say."
The general leaned close to his ear and whispered.
"Really?" Gong Xiqiu first ate the melon, watched the show, was shocked, stunned, and in a daze, and glanced towards them from time to time. This look made everyone uneasy, and they couldn't hear what they said. Their intuition told them
, definitely not a good thing to say!
"Please ask the general to make it happen. This is all that's missing!"
Gong Xiqiu: "..."
Sometimes he wanted to report it to the government.
A simple boy from a reclusive family, he always failed to keep up with the secular trend because he was not perverted enough. He still doesn't understand why some people like to collect other people's crotches. The general noticed that his eyes had changed and hurriedly waved his hand to explain his innocence!
"General, I really don't have that kind of hobby, I just want to make a complete set."
I don’t know where the evil wind blows from. To collect it, you need to collect sets. For example, several warriors of similar age in a certain place will have one set, several warriors with the same surname will have one set, and several fathers and sons from a sect will have one set... According to these
A person's strength and reputation also assign stars to these complete series. If one of them dies, it will be out of print. Some out of print are sold at astonishing prices in the world!
Those who are not obsessed with this are fine...
Once you have an obsession and see who is missing from a set, especially when the last item is missing, it will be heart-breaking!
Don't ask him why he didn't just ask the prisoner for it.
He wasn't the one who convinced me, so asking for it by force has no symbolic meaning.
If I could take advantage of Gong Xiqiu...
Well, the value suddenly went up.
Gong Xiqiu: "...What series is it?"
The generals knew there was something going on as soon as they heard it.
The two of them gathered together and whispered.
Gong Xiqiu let out an ooh, and he keenly noticed that among the seven people in this series, one stood out, had no strength, and looked like he had jumped in the queue through the back door. His complaint was heard by Xia Houyu, who coughed it out, causing a deep sigh. Tang's side glance.
"...This custom really needs to be rectified." Weird customs continue to evolve, and it's really hard to take off the hat of Du Bi Pei.
Shen Tang's eyes pointed in Gong Xiqiu's direction.
Xia Houyu nodded: "... I have heard before that some warriors will deliberately group themselves with some famous and powerful warriors in order to quickly become famous. Rangers like to follow the crowd, so they really think that this person can be like others. Equally famous."
Even if they are not equally famous, there are definitely several brushes.
Otherwise, why would it be in a series?
Shen Tang was silent for three seconds: "Can you play porcelain like this?"
Isn’t this just bundling to gain popularity?
Sure enough, there is no shortage of flexible minds at any time.
Xia Houyu had a few drinks happily today, his cheeks were red and he was slightly tipsy, and his whole person was much livelier, not as serious and steady as usual. The young man smiled and said: "This is not the only trick..."
Shen Tang: "...ah?"
When the leaders of the reinforcements saw the "maid" walking up to the main seat and sitting down, their hearts were filled with excitement.
No, this is Xiahou Li???
It’s not anyone else, it’s really Xia Houli???
They were still immersed in shock. Xia Houyu had already led the civil and military forces to toast Shen Tang and congratulate her. Shen Tang said a few humble words and passed the credit to everyone, and rewarded them as usual. These were carefully finalized before the celebration banquet started. Everyone must be convinced, whether it is as big as a military reward or as small as a promotion.
The prisoners also listened with great interest.
By the way, I took the opportunity to recognize other people's faces.
At the end of the round, the officials took their seats one by one before it was their turn.
Unlike Gong Xiqiu, who was harsh and harsh, this lady of Xiahou was quite polite to them, which made people flattered. But they did not dare to take it lightly, and there were many twists and turns. This kind of routine was too common. However, Shen Tang refused to follow it. Common sense plays the cards and comes straight to the point: "I wonder if you have any plans for the future?"
Everyone: "..."
They have a plan, will Xia Houli let them achieve it?
For example, taking back Qiguo or something...
"I don't know, female gentleman...what can I say about this?"
Read the original text at Liu#9@书/吧!
Shen Tang said sincerely: "Although a certain person has little talent and little knowledge, he always has a heart to help the world and save people in danger. If you want to calm down the troubled times and save the world's living beings from suffering, you can join a certain person!"
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
A bold one among them put aside his initial worries when he saw Shen Tang put down his body and talked peacefully: "...what if we are lazy, our horses are tired, and we don't want to start another dispute?"
"It is a pleasure to retreat to the mountains and forests and lie high on the east mountain."
Everyone fell into deep thought again.
They wanted to choose the latter, but they were not alone, and each of them had family members. The meaning of this female monarch was very clear. Either surrender to her, or they would retire for a day while she lives. If she doesn't die, They and their family will never get ahead. This is a fatal blow to the family with a weak foundation. Enemies they have offended in the past will also add insult to injury. Those days are the real despair. They have never thought about what Shen Tang said. Hermitage is true hermitage...
When it comes to themselves and others, they don't have the capacity to do so.
Someone peeked at Gong Xiqiu, and his eyes were as fierce as a ghost.
The timid ones swallowed their saliva and secretly thought that this was indeed a trap - Gong Xiqiu was acting as a villain, and Xia Houli was pretending to be a good person here, pretending to be generous to make them relax their vigilance! Although they were angry in their hearts, no one dared to stand up. Be the first to show off.
"Thanks to the lady for never giving up, I am willing to follow the hard work of dogs and horses."
Some people couldn't bear the pressure and made a choice.
Seeing the situation, other people also stood up to respond.
There was also someone who did not believe in evil and chose another path, and was delighted with the result. He received a ransom bill, and after paying it, he would be free. When the man saw the amount, his face turned green.
There is only one sentence left in my mind——
As expected, he started his career as a bandit, and he is ruthless in robbing!
The slander in my belly returned to my belly, and my heart fell to the ground.
Normal people are shameless. Now that they have asked for a sky-high price of ransom money, the previous grudges have been wiped out, and they will basically not continue to embarrass and extort. No matter what, it is much better than the worst plan.
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, but Shen Tang showed no emotion or anger on his face.
After processing, the celebration banquet officially started.
It was said to be a celebration banquet, but the leaders of the reinforcements were surprised to find that it was more like a court meeting. He was obviously a reckless warlord born in Yeluzi, but the taste of the banquet was stronger than the serious court meeting at King Qi's court.
They even saw someone wearing a mask of pain in the corner, eating food that tasted like chewing wax, as if they were being tortured.
Wen Wu, who was sitting near the front, listened carefully.
Oh, not including Gong Xiqiu.
This guy lowered his head to eat and drank with gusto.
Even if Xia Houli is talking, his mouth is not idle, and he does not give the leadership the cards he deserves. On the other hand, everyone else is sitting upright, with their backs straight. The court meeting... ah no, the content of the celebration banquet starts from Qi Guo The re-division of various regions, states, counties and counties, and how to restore people's livelihood in various places, and how local government agencies take the best and discard the dross... Unconsciously, this group of people also subconsciously put down their chopsticks and dropped their hands on their knees...
Isn't this more like a court meeting than the previous court meetings?
The country has been destroyed and restored many times, and the regional divisions are quite arbitrary. Basically, they are based on the opinions of the local snakes in various places. The Xiahou Queen proposed from the very beginning that the canines should be intertwined and divided according to the trends of mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, and the opinions of local snakes should not be concerned.
Who has any opinions——
Then go talk to her soldiers.
As a result, the original government jurisdiction will have to be re-established.
You can even tell with your toes how much work it is.
Is the content complicated or is it secondary? The most difficult thing is the efficiency of communication between the upper and lower levels and whether the measures can be implemented in place. After listening for half an hour, their expressions became increasingly weird—no, regular army?
If this is the Caotai team, what does the original Qiguo mean?
A joke?
Thinking of the old master who was hung up that day, I felt mixed emotions.
"Report——Lord, I found it!"
Long and boring mornings can be exhausting.
At this time, soldiers came to report. The few people who were distracted during a secret meeting put away their masks of pain and forcibly gathered their energy to see what was going on. One person was seen holding an object covered with red silk in both hands.
Looking at the outline shape, everyone understands it clearly.
It’s the national seal!
Shen Tang played with the light white national seal with a calm posture, and there was no eagerness and greed in his eyes, as if it was not a treasure that the heroes of the world were eager for, but a useless ornament: "Where did you find this thing? of?"
"In the palace well."
There really was a palace lady who threw herself into a well with her national seal.
Shen Tang: "..."
The appearance of the national seal posed a problem for her.
It is obviously not possible to re-create a country name. There are not many connections between the branch and Kang Guo. If we re-create a country name, the conflicts caused by the merger in the future will be more acute. The senior management knows the connection between the branch and Kang Guo. I have been mentally prepared for it, but most of the middle and low-level people don't know it. Even if you don't consider this level, you still have to worry about the situation with your ally Qu Guo.
Shen Tang thought for a while and came up with an idea.
Well, I guess it’s okay to say that there are no auspicious days this year.
It's normal for those in power to be superstitious.

I drank a can of cocktail. What kind of flavor was it? It tasted so bad...
