Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Sin Word Camp
On the evening of October 10, Ge Chang, Zhang Bin and others rushed back to Tanzhou City with the captured tribal soldiers.
Of course, the wealth was not revealed, Ge Chang transported all the looted property to Lin Feng's ship in advance, and escorted nearly three hundred captives into the city before the Xuanwu Gate closed.
The treatment they received when they entered the city was much better than the treatment of Ma Xixu when he entered the city! At that time, the people of Tanzhou were avoided, and now, under the rapid oral transmission, the people of Tanzhou have flocked to both sides of Antai Avenue to watch these embarrassed murderers.
Because of the precedent of throwing murderers at public trials, a disturbance was set off when the first daring young man threw a stone at the captive without being stopped. For a moment, stones and eggs flew on both sides of the road, and the bodies and faces of the captives were immediately bruised and swollen, and soon they did not look like human beings.
Ge Chang immediately ordered to speed up and lead the captives directly into Huang Zongwang's mansion, only to block the people of Tanzhou, who were frantically chasing all the way, from outside.
The captives were led directly to the fort. In the middle of a circle of torches, Li Tai and Pan Gui, who were still bleeding from their bodies, were hung on high poles, telling these captives about the fate of the Tang Dynasty army with a living and bloody example.
Lin Feng was carrying a big knife with blood stains on it, standing in front of the captive whose legs were trembling, and shouted: "My brother, in the battle formation of thousands of people, he was not injured, but he was injured in the hands of the so-called own people, this revenge is not a gentleman!" This revenge is not revenge, and hatred is hard to eliminate! Keep your dog's eyes open! The encounter between Mrs. Li and Pan Gui is the only fate of being the enemy of the single-minded Datang! ”
Just when all the captives thought that they were in a catastrophe this time, Lin Feng turned his head and said loudly: "However, Li Tai and Pan Gui are both officials, and you are just a small soldier, and you can't help yourself if you listen to the orders from above!" With that in mind, I'm going to give you a chance, a chance to mend your ways! ”
Still have hope of survival? Many of the captives who had already turned their faces to ashes couldn't help but look up at Lin Feng in surprise.
"You choose the two paths. The first way is for everyone to be judged publicly, as long as a person inside and outside the city of Tanzhou comes forward to identify that you have killed the people, and kill them on the spot; If no one identifies you, put you in prison, and work as a coolie, you will never want to get out of prison in this life! Lin Feng roared hatefully. He once boasted in front of the emperor that no one in the Chu State was killed and no one was injured, but so far, six special soldiers have been injured one after another, and Zhang Fei is the most seriously injured, and he is still bedridden.
Lin Feng then roared: "The second way, immediately surrender to my Datang, fill the sin word battalion, every battle must be the first, atone for the sins with merit, only by killing more than three enemies on the battlefield can you be considered to have washed away the sins you have carried, so as to become a real Datang soldier!" ”
After roaring, Lin Feng immediately took two steps forward, pointed to a tribal soldier in the front row and asked, "Do you surrender or not?" ”
The soldier looked left and right, hesitated, opened his mouth, and did not speak.
Lin Feng raised his hand and slashed directly at his left arm, then twisted it hard, pulled out the knife, pointed at the soldier who was screaming in pain and ordered: "Tie it to the top of the pole, and it will be tried tomorrow!" ”
Two heavily armed soldiers rushed forward, sheaths out, and slammed the tribal soldier to the ground, who was convulsing in pain, and dragged his legs on. The blood on the soldier's left arm flowed into a small river on the trail he had, and his hoarse cry of pain immediately drove away the last bit of blood from the tribal soldier.
When Lin Feng turned to the other captive with a sinister smile, the captive immediately fell to his knees and shouted while kowtowing: "I surrender, I surrender!" ”
Lin Feng's eyes turned again, and wherever his eyes went, the soldiers there would immediately fall to their knees and shout "surrender".
In the end, none of the tribal soldiers dared to stand out, and they all fell to their knees.
Lin Feng threw the bloodied steel knife in his hand to the ground and shouted, "All of them are taken to the fort!" ”
When the apprehensive captives entered the fort, everyone was stunned by what they saw: there were rows of cases with plates of rice and empty bowls on them, and a large pot of hot dishes and a large pot of hot soup not far away.
"After joining my Tang Army, everyone's eating is naturally the same! Drink some hot soup before you eat! Ge Chang said with a face, full of unwillingness. There was no way, he had just been notified by Lin Feng that he had been temporarily appointed as the captain of the Sin Word Battalion, and this appointment made him distressed.
The captives hesitated and stepped forward, serving the bowl of soup, and found that there was no change, only to realize that this was not a hoax, and immediately rushed up and began to grab the bowl.
"Bang" A large bowl was thrown to the ground by Ge Chang, and the crisp sound made all the captives stop in horror.
"Rob what? There's something for everyone! Whoever grabs it again will immediately drag it out and show it to the public! Ge Chang roared angrily.
All of a sudden, all the captives were honest and lined up in an orderly manner to find a place.
Lin Feng stood at the door of the mansion and watched this scene before turning around and walking away.
When Lin Feng was approaching the son, when Lin Feng was discussing the next step in the selection of the special forces reserve team with a group of brothers in the small study of the Huang Mansion, a person from the Huang Mansion ran in and reported: "Lord Lin, there is a big man from outside the mansion, shirtless, with two branches tied to his back, kneeling and begging to see you!" ”
Guilty of petitioning? When the room saw that there was a good show to watch, they immediately became excited, and their eyes were fixed on Lin Feng.
Lin Feng had already guessed in his heart who was coming, and ordered softly, "Bring him over!" ”
Not long after, a big man was brought in, and as the following man had said, two camphor branches tied to his bare back, and as soon as he entered the house, he knelt down and kowtowed loudly.
"Zhao Ye!?" Li Congqian was the first to recognize this big man, and couldn't help shouting.
Lin Feng remained silent, stepped forward, pulled the branch on his back, and laughed softly: "Bear the thorn and ask for the sin, bear the thorn and ask for the sin, everyone is here with thorns, what do you mean by carrying two camphor tree sticks?" ”
Zhao Ye's face turned red, and he didn't say anything, and began to kowtow again and again.
Lin Feng turned around and returned to his seat, took two sips of the teacup before he spoke: "Zhao Ye, do you know what the final fate of the Chenzhou Tujia of the Dao Panlong is?" ”
Without waiting for Zhao Ye to answer, Lin Feng asked and replied to himself: "Four words: Death and annihilation!" As soon as my Datang elite soldiers arrive, the Chenzhou Tujia family will disappear completely! ”
Lin Feng continued to take a few sips of tea before he said slowly: "Zhao Ye, do you know what is the biggest problem with me?" That is, do not rub sand in your eyes! On the battlefield, I only allow two kinds of people: friend or foe! What about you, I thought you could be a friend, but I didn't expect to become an enemy! ”
Zhao Ye's burly body trembled, still kowtowing, but slowed down.
Lin Feng put down the teacup, stood up, paced around Zhao Ye, and said unhurriedly: "I personally like to be with smart people, but I never like someone to be clever with me!"
When you besieged me, when you saw that the situation was not good, you immediately led your team to withdraw, which can be regarded as knowing the current affairs, I don't blame you! However, I can't blame you for what you did in the future! ”
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Zhao Ye's whole body froze, kneeling there motionless.
Lin Feng held his hands behind his back, and the person continued to turn in circles unhurriedly, and kept talking: "Then let me try to guess what Zhao Ye thinks and does."
At first, you must have wanted a piece of the pie to join in the siege of us! When you see that you can't do anything, you withdraw immediately.
You understand that this is the moment when the life and death of your clan is at stake, and you should immediately order all the tribal troops to disperse out of the city, cross the Xiangjiang River overnight, and take the mountain road to turn back to Lizhou. But you didn't leave, you should be hiding in a deserted house or small inn in Tanzhou City, secretly observing the changes in the situation. If I let go of Panlong easily, I'm afraid you'll be gone by now!
It wasn't until today that you saw that the Tujia captives of Panlong had been taken back, and Zhilu Dao couldn't wait any longer, so he had the idea of coming over and pleading guilty. And the reason why you waited nearly two more hours to show up to plead guilty is to make sure that I have killed all the captives. If you see a corpse carried out of the Yellow Mansion, you will definitely run away immediately, am I right? ”
With Lin Feng's words, Zhao Ye couldn't help but raise his head, his eyes widening and widening, and the look of surprise was difficult to hide. This Lin Feng is too godly, he guessed his thoughts and whereabouts exactly right, as if he had been sending someone to follow him.
Lin Feng shook his head, pointed to the branch on Zhao Ye's back, and sneered: "I'm afraid that this camphor strip was also temporarily folded by you from the tree outside the Yellow Mansion, right?" ”
Zhao Ye leaned his body on his heels weakly, and lowered his head deeply.
Lin Feng stood still, and his voice became stern in vain: "Zhao Ye, at first you asked me about the national policy, I thought you were a reliable person, and I intended to get closer to you. I didn't expect you to be just a profiteering, conceited and smart. Do you think that if you come here alone like this now, pretending to be, I will let you go of the Tujia family in Lizhou? ”
Zhao Ye suddenly waved his hand and slapped himself suddenly, still not saying a word in his mouth.
"Alright, don't fight anymore!" Lin Feng shouted in disgust, pointed at him and said sharply, "For the sake of you and I who have fought side by side, I will give you a chance for the Tujia family of Lizhou!" If you immediately turn back to Lizhou, send back all the treasures that were stolen this time, and then select three hundred of the most capable warriors from the clan, and then organize them into the crime battalion with them, and atone for your sins with blood, I will consider letting your clan go, and I will consider including all of you in the Tang army in the future! If you think it's a humiliation, then from this moment on, you and I will die! ”
Tough to the end! It was the principle of force that Lin Feng secretly upheld after entering Chu. These Han barbarian generals of the Chu State have a lot of thoughts, if they don't intimidate them with super force and suppress them with thunderous means, sooner or later they will be in a big trouble!
Zhao Ye's whole body was fixed there, and the muscles all over his body were twitching, which showed how fierce his inner struggle was.
Lin Feng didn't force him anymore, sat back, and continued to drink tea.
"Zhao chooses to serve General Lin from now on, and asks General Lin to allow Zhao to lead his clan into the crime camp!" After a long time, Zhao Ye raised his head and said word by word.
"Okay, Lin is also glad that he doesn't have to be an enemy of Brother Zhao anymore! You and I have been brothers ever since! Lin Feng's words were very enthusiastic, but his words were cold.
"My subordinates asked to leave overnight and rush back to Lizhou!" Zhao Ye kowtowed again and said loudly.
"Okay, let's go! Go back quickly! Lin Feng waved his hand and motioned for Zhao Ye to step back.
Seeing Zhao Ye withdraw from the door, Li Congqian couldn't help but ask softly: "Mr. Lin, why do you think that Zhao Ye will definitely choose to return to the Tang Dynasty?" Aren't you afraid that he won't come back? ”
Lin Feng smiled slightly, and said softly: "He is still a smart person after all, naturally what kind of choice is beneficial to him and his clan!" ”
