Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Earth Residence is Different, and the Monarch Rate and Remnant Are Similar
The two battlefields of infantry and cavalry were combined, and the casualties of the Yong army were less than 2,000, mainly foot soldiers, and the rest were surrendered.
Linghu was summoned to meet the middle and lower-ranking officers in the surrendered army and personally comforted them; Ordered Xin Er, Cao Fei and others to pass orders to the subordinates of each department, and promised: "Those who descend will not be killed." To be broken in the royal capital, all those whose names are in the scholar's nationality will be removed from their nationality; Award people according to their contributions. ”
The order was handed down, and the soldiers of all the troops rejoiced.
There is an atmosphere of joy, where is it still like a pawn who has just lost a battle? Even if they were injured, they were all elated, and they were all high-spirited, looking at their posture, they couldn't wait to follow Linghu Feng back to the royal capital immediately.
Fu Qiao unconsciously sighed to Xin Er: "The people are all miserable and cheap in the scholarly register, although the punishment is severe, they still keep fleeing." The Lord released his surrender and died, and he was killed by the three armies. ”
When the two armies fought, Fu Qiao had been following Ling Hufeng's side, and among the several people who gathered Ling Hufeng on the sand dunes, one of them was him.
The Tang people who are scholars are completely tools for those in power to maintain power and then seize the benefits of the world, from birth to death, they are not free, and there are so many holidays every year, and the people in power give them in order to ensure that the supply of soldiers is sufficient, and let them return to their family detention areas to reproduce, which is almost livestock. All in all, it is the only wish of all scholars to be able to get rid of this nationality and become a member of the household, own their own land, and have a normal family, so that their children and grandchildren can live like ordinary people and gain a little autonomy.
Of course, the reason why the pawn can adjust himself and change his identity so quickly is not just because of Linghufeng's sentence "Go to his hometown".
Another important reason is that for the ordinary soldiers of Dingxi Kingdom, there is not much difference between Linghu Feng and Linghu Yong, both of them are descendants of the royal family, although Ling Hu Yong is the current king, but Ling Hu Feng can fight well, for the Dingxi country to make great contributions, the foundation in the army is far deeper than that of Ling Hu Yong, who has never been on the battlefield, and many people have fought with him in the captured foot cavalry, so they do not contradict Ling Hu Feng emotionally.
Emotions are not contradictory, then it depends on the contrast between Feng and Yong.
Ling Hu Yong did not give them benefits, and there is no military talent, and now the situation in the royal capital can be seen by anyone, their defeat is already in danger, and Ling Hu Feng is long in the military formation, and promised to take off their military status, the two compared, of course, switched to the "Ming Lord".
Xin Er and the others gave the soldiers an order to come back.
Koji Shuo's troops drove the colonels to the bottom of the mound and offered prisoners to Linghu.
Guo Baiju, Suo Chong, Tang Ai and others were all among the captives, and when they looked at it, they knelt down on the sand, and there were no less than twenty or thirty people.
Linghu Feng walked in front of Guo Baiju with his hands behind his back, kicked him, and said with a smile: "Baiju? ”
Guo Baiju was disheveled, his hands were tied behind his back, and he was about to bend his legs, and the armorers held him down.
He held his head high, stared at Ling Hufeng, and scolded with hatred: "Old captive! ”
Linghu Feng was stunned for a moment, and asked the general who came to Guo Baiju: "Where is his beard?" ”
Guo Baiju has a black beard and dense beard, and is famous in the country and is known as a beautiful beard. Now, his beard was scattered, apparently having just been shaved; Looking at its dissolved hair and measuring its length, it should have been cut off.
The generals replied, "That's what he was like when I caught him." ”
Ling Hufeng shook his head and sighed to the people on the left and right: "There is affection and righteousness! ”
Cao Fei was amused and asked, "Why did the Lord say this?" ”
"You see, the beautiful bearded man in the past, now he only has a bald face, where is the beard?"
"Where?"
"He must have cut off his own hair!"
"Oh? I don't know why I cut it? ”
"Can't you guess?"
Cao Fei cooperated to the end, pretending not to know, and said with a sad face: "The minister is ignorant, he can't guess." ”
"I can only send someone to send it to his little concubine."
Cao Fei and the others laughed.
Guo Baiju's eyes breathed fire, and he tried his best, but he couldn't break free from the control of the armorers, and he couldn't stop scolding. Cao Fei went over and asked the armorer to break his mouth, pull out his tongue, cut it off with a short dagger, and throw it away. Guo Baiju's blood was stained with sand, and he whined endlessly.
Linghu Feng teased Guo Baiju enough, turned to Suo Chong, condescended, and asked, "Old Suo, will you descend?" ”
Suo Zhong twisted his face to the side.
He is the minister who Ling Hu Yong's father left to Ling Hu Yong, if he hadn't secretly conspired with Ling Hu Yong through Guo Baiju, Ling Hu Feng would not have fled before, and he knew that Ling Hu Feng would not let him go.
Sure enough, Linghu Feng waited for a while, but did not see his answer, that is, he did not talk nonsense, and said: "Lao Suo, when my father and king were in power, you and I were young friends, and when my brother was in power, we were in the Eastern Qin Dynasty, the country was in turmoil, and the Dunhuang was fiercely fought. After my brother's death, you have opposed me at every turn, but I know that you are under my brother's orders and a loyal servant, and I do not blame you. If you do not descend today, I will not dishonor you. Don't worry, I'll leave you an heir. He said, "Kill it." ”
Suo Zhong said: "Thank you for your kindness. He said to the soldier who was carrying the knife, "Excuse me, please help me tie the tassel." ”
With Linghufeng's permission, the armor helped him tie the strap under the hood, straightened the hood for him, and then raised his knife and slashed, slashing four or five times in a row, cutting off his head.
When a gentleman dies, the crown is inevitable, the legacy of this ancient gentleman.
Contemporary valve clans, celebrities, and celebrities talk about profligacy, which are useless for the people, and there are also those who are dedicated to seeking the country and dying in good clothes. The right person made Hu Feng insult Guo Baiju, full of frivolity, and at this time, the death of Suo Zhong made Xin Er feel solemn.
The generals also felt this, and there was no sound of floating waves.
Fu Qiao and Suo Zhong are not familiar with each other, but they have known each other for a long time, and sighed quietly.
Linghu Feng patrolled the remaining captives, and anyone who killed the fox would be killed; It has nothing to do with Ling Huyong, but he came to fight in the army, and he asked "to surrender or not to surrender", and those who surrender will avoid death, and should not be killed. When asked about Tang Ai, Tang Ai replied, "Down." ”
Tang Ai was very conspicuous among the captives, and others wore clothes, but he was the only one who behaved as a celebrity.
Xin Er had already noticed him, and when he saw that he should be happy, he said in his heart: "It's not that he doesn't know the times. Fu Qiao, who couldn't take his eyes off Tang Ai and replied, his expression changed from nervous to relaxed, "Does the master know this person?" ”
"He's my old friend. His family and my family are from the state. ”
Xin Er nodded, and said in his heart: "It turned out to be the old man's fellow countryman, and he was a lone like the two of us." ”
Since the chaos in the world, the north has fallen into the hands of razors, and the west country has only protected the northwest, and there are many people who have fled here before and after. There are many people, and there are many scholars, so the two classes of scholars and people in Longdi are divided into two parts, the large one is the indigenous, and the small one is the liuyu.
For example, Liu Zhuang's ancestors and grandchildren are the people of Liuyu.
Another example is Fu Qiao and Tang Ai, including Xin Er, although they are "noble and low", they belong to the high scholar class, but their essential identity in Longdi is actually the same as Liu Zhuang's ancestors and grandchildren, they are also from other states and live here.
Xin Er and Fu Qiao's ancestral homes are both in Kanto.
The Xin family and the Fu family moved to Longdi earlier, and they have lived in Longdi for several generations.
However, just as Liu Zhuang's ancestors and grandchildren are difficult to be completely accepted by the indigenous people, it is difficult for scholars like Xin and Fu to integrate into the local indigenous scholar circle, no matter how long you have been in Longlong. After all, the political and economic interests are fixed and limited, and there are so many official positions, land, and vassals, and the local nobles are definitely not willing to have outsiders to divide them away. The two strokes can be described as black and white.
Xin Er's earlier lack of understanding of the difference between soil and residence, as the longer he spent in this life, the more memories he turned out, and he was not a person in the world, he was already a guest, and after understanding the difference between soil and residence, he was a scholar again, and then he looked at Tang Ai at this time, and he was more cordial.
If it is not for the dead party of the fox, all of them are willing to surrender.
Linghu Feng asked Koji Shuo to arrange a place for them to live temporarily, and send someone to take care of it; The officers of the detachment koji department are responsible for the assembly of the soldiers, the restoration of the establishment, and the selection of places to camp; Lead the people and return to the account of the great rate in the ministry.
Guo Baiju didn't kill him, and the soldiers pushed him to follow.
Suo Chong was killed, how could Ling Hu Feng spare Guo Baiju's life? Xin Er, Fu Qiao and others all knew that this must be Linghu Feng going to torture him.
Xin Er said in his heart: "You won't want Ling Chi, right?" Ling Chi has to have a special person, and those who are not trained can't do this work, and a few knives may kill the torturer, and he thought, "Do you want to divide the corpses of the five horses?" "There is no master of torture in the Hu tribe, and there are many sheep and horses, which is the most likely.
Xin Er and Guo Baiju didn't have much hatred, thinking about the tragic scene of the five horses splitting their bodies, he had some pity for him, looked at him who was staggering and whining and splashing blood, and couldn't bear to think: "It was Ling Hufeng who rebelled, and speaking of which, he was also a loyal minister." The defeat is still sent, and it must be given to Linghu Yong, and the affection is deep. It's pathetic. ”
When they arrived outside the big rate tent, the two junior colonels reported: "Ming Gong, it's ready." ”
"Then let's do it."
The two lieutenants agreed and commanded seven or eight armor soldiers to take Guo Baiju, strip off his armor, take off his pants, and press him face down to the ground. The two armorers parted his legs, and one of them grabbed the pole and stabbed him between the buttocks. The shaft is the thickness of a fist and the head of the club is sharpened. Guo Baiju's tongue was broken, and he let out a terrible muffled sound. The pole pierced into his body, more than two feet into it.
Linghu was instructed: "Stand up." ”
The soldiers dug a deep pit, put the wooden poles upright, buried the bottom, stepped on the firm, and retreated to both sides.
Guo Baiju couldn't help but struggle under the severe pain, but the more he struggled, the more the wooden pole stabbed upward. He had a spasm of pain, fainted, and woke up with pain. This truth can't survive, you can't die. Blood and other things trickled down the wooden poles.
Ling Hu Feng raised his face, looked at his miserable situation for a moment with great interest, summoned Fu Qiao to approach, and asked, "Old Fu, you are knowledgeable, can there be such a punishment in ancient times?" ”
Fu Qiao's trembling strands, unsteady on his feet, bowed down to the situation, and replied in a trembling voice: "I haven't heard of it." ”
Linghu Feng said regretfully: "It's a pity, it's a pity. Old man, then you will give this sentence a name, right? ”
"Wood, wood......."
"Wood punishment?" Linghu Feng looked back at the people and asked, "What do you think of this name?" ”
Xin Er couldn't believe the scene he saw, and said in his heart: "It's even more cruel than the bald red slave using a human head as a wine vessel!" "Compared with this punishment, the division of the corpses of the five horses can be called merciful; Compared with the front of him, under the ring of people's heads, the fox feasted Hu Bu with a large rate, which can be called bland. He forcibly suppressed the tumbling in his stomach, had a new understanding of Linghu Feng, and thought, "Is this what you said to be ruthless?" ”
The generals who followed Linghu Feng to the big tent, Tai Ban didn't know that Linghu Feng was going to use this torture to kill Guo Baiju, and when he saw the cruel scene, everyone changed color, and replied unevenly: "It's good, it's good." ”
Linghu Feng laughed and said, "The celebration wine for you has been prepared, let's go, drink in the tent!" ”
almost died on the battlefield, and witnessed the tragic impact of Guo Baiju, which caused a huge emotional fluctuation in Xin Er.
Linghu Feng revenge half of the revenge, back to the king's capital to ascend the throne is just around the corner, in a happy mood, drink heartily, leave the table to dance, to the front of the Xin Er case, see his drunken state, laugh, and everyone: "Save my son, today for me in front of the bloody battle, a few dead, this son also!" He spread his broad sleeves, pointed to Xin Er lying on the desk with one hand, and asked the generals and colonels in the banquet drunkly, saying, "Do you know its name?" ”
is not familiar with Xiner, and now it is known who he is.
Someone replied, "The servant of the public is a good man." ”
"Yes! This is my best waiter! But it's not good enough, so what do you know? Linghu Feng closed his sleeves, leaned forward, and shook Gu Pan's mysterious appearance, which whetted everyone's appetite, and then said, "Only don't drink!" ”
The crowd burst into laughter.
Linghu Feng asked the attendants to help Xin Er back to the tent.
Linghu Feng's drinking style, even if everyone has not seen it, they have heard of it, and they will not let people go if they don't drink it, but he is considerate at this time, which attracts the envy of most of them. Many people think: "After Fuping Gong ascends the throne, this person will be favored." ”
The attendant settled down and went back to his life.
Early the next morning, Bald Lian Fan and the others came to see Xin Er.
……
This chapter is not very well written. Originally, it was intended to write the two episodes of Linghu Feng's handling of prisoners and Xin Er's handling of the superintendent in one chapter, and then introduce Wang Duzhan at the end of the chapter, but considering that if it was written like this, the rhythm seemed to be too tight, so I wrote more plots to deal with prisoners, and expanded these two paragraphs into one and a half chapters. Please criticize more.
