Chapter 16 Letters of Reward and Punishment
"Childe, I don't know what to do with these surrendered robbers?" Cao Xiao came to Liu Fan and asked Liu Fan.
At this moment, Cao Xiao admired Liu Fan even more, and with only eleven people, he dared to fight a hundred times more enemies, and beheaded the thief in the heavy encirclement. The main force he led had just come up the mountain, and before the battle began, the battle was over.
Cao Xiao originally wanted to call Liu Fan an adult, but it was inappropriate to think about it; Calling Liu Fan's title of Marquis of the Western Qin Pavilion feels too angry; So I called Liu Fan a son to show respect.
"Collect all their weapons, send half of the soldiers to take turns to guard them tonight, and escort these robbers to Anyi tomorrow to help the people build houses in the fields." Liu Fan didn't think about it, so he said to Cao Xiao. Because this idea had been established as early as when Liu Fan was preparing to attack the robbers of Shouyang Mountain.
"Yun Chang, take three hundred soldiers with me to search the entire cottage and see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net." Liu Fan saw Guan Yu coming over with the Qinglong Yanyue Knife and said to Guan Yu. Then he instructed Cao Xiao: "You count the number of casualties among the soldiers and the number of robbers captured." We'll be back soon. ”
The summit of this mountain is relatively large, and because of the large number of robbers, the houses on the mountain are built like a village. Liu Fan ordered the team to disperse, and a chief led a team into the house to search.
Liu Fan took Guan Yu to find one room after another, Liu Fan wondered, why are these robbers all poor ghosts, and after looking for most of the day, they haven't even found a single hair.
Suddenly, there was a sound of fighting. Liu Fan and Guan Yu had straight faces, and ran towards the source of the sound with a few soldiers.
At the gate of a compound, ten soldiers, led by a captain, were fighting with more than a dozen robbers, who were fierce because of their numerical inferiority. I saw that there were already several lying on the ground.
The dozen or so robbers saw that Liu Fan rushed over with a dozen or so people over there, and hurriedly struggled to force several soldiers back and closed the gate tightly.
"Humph!" Seeing the closed gate, Liu Fan snorted coldly. Swinging his halberd and slamming it towards the gate.
Liu Fan can lift a huge object of two thousand catties, but the strength of his whole body is far more than two thousand catties. With the magic weapon of the overlord halberd, the wooden gate was smashed into a big hole all of a sudden, and the entire gate was also crumbling.
"Bang!"
There was another loud bang, and Liu Fan smashed it at the place where the door bolt was aimed this time. The door was smashed open in one fell swoop.
Seeing that Liu Fan and the others were so unstoppable, these robbers even wanted to resist, their faces were fierce, like outlaws.
Looking at their murderous appearance, Liu Fan knew that this group of robbers had done a lot of evil and were Shouyang Hu's henchmen, and there was no doubt that this compound was Shouyang Hu's residence.
"Kill!" Liu Fan gave an order, and Guan Yu rushed forward with a knife. If you don't surrender, you have to die, Liu Fan doesn't want to waste time.
A moment later, Guan Yu came to Liu Fan with a living robber, and the robber saw that it was easier for Guan Yu to kill people than pigs, so he was so frightened that he threw away his weapon and surrendered on his knees, so Guan Yu did not kill him.
"Shouyang Tiger is dead, answer my question honestly, and I will spare your life." Liu Fan said solemnly.
"The villain understands." The robber was startled and changed color.
"Where are all the treasures looted by the Shouyang Tiger hidden?" Liu Fan said quietly.
"Every time we return from a plunder, the grain is transported to the granary, and the treasure is ...... Shouyang Tiger hides in the backyard of this courtyard, saying that he is in charge of it on our behalf, but in fact it refuses to be private. The robber said with some resentment. The tone was full of dissatisfaction with Shouyang Tiger. Even a henchman like him has such emotions, and other people can imagine the edge robbers.
"Anyone else in this yard?"
Liu Fan estimated that the size of this courtyard was not much smaller than his Western Qin Marquis Mansion, and compared with the dilapidated houses of other robbers, this place was equivalent to a royal palace.
"The women who were robbed by the Shouyang Tiger, as well as some civilians who knew how to do it, were all locked up in this courtyard." The robber replied truthfully.
"Take him and release the prisoners." Liu Fan ordered at a military commander.
The captain obeyed the order and let the robber lead the way towards the place where the woman and civilians were being held.
"Yun Chang, you and I will go to the backyard and have a look."
Liu Fan and Guan Yu held torches, and as soon as they came to the backyard, they found a delicate house sitting alone in the open space in the backyard.
Walking in front of the house, Guan Yu cut the iron lock in two with a knife. The two walked through the door.
The whole house is about 100 square meters, and the whole room is full of gold, silver and jewelry, and the five baht coins are everywhere, and there are a lot of dazzling colors. Even without a torch, you can see it clearly. It seems that Shouyang Tiger has robbed many large families in the past ten years.
"Wait until tomorrow morning to call Cao Xiao over, divide half of the money, and reward the soldiers." Liu Fan looked at the money and said with satisfaction.
Even if it's half of it, there are still a lot of them, and it's worth the trip.
"Lord, these soldiers are not the lord's soldiers, they are less than a thousand, and half is too much. Besides, they didn't do much! Guan Yu said hurriedly.
"For generals, rewards and punishments are indispensable. Can Yun Chang know Wu Qihu? Liu Fan asked Guan Yu, he felt the need to teach Guan Yu another lesson.
"As a martial artist, there is no one who doesn't know Sun Wu." Guan Yu nodded lightly.
Wu Qi's mother was mourned, killed his wife and begged for a general, greedy for money and power. He can become a famous general who leads an era, the most important thing is that he attaches importance to faith and righteousness, and rewards and punishments are clear; He greeted the soldiers, loved the soldiers like children, and could even suck abscesses for the wounded soldiers, which made him as unshakable as a mountain when he issued military orders, and established the military pawn system, and the battle of Yin and Jin broke 70,000 and 500,000 of the Qin army, making the Qin State decadent for decades. Invincible, undefeated in life. Although Wu Qi is not very good in terms of character, few people can match him in terms of generals. Because the letter of reward and punishment is also a system. Just said it sharply, especially the last sentence, which was categorical.
"The lord's words made Yu Daigo empowered and taught." Guan Yu saluted, although the momentum was still as sharp as before, but there was a little softer in it.
