Zhuangzi's open space.

The guards were once again gathered here.

It's just that compared to before, their expressions have become solemn, and there is a trace of blood around them!

"In the battle last night, none of you fled in fear. This makes Lone very satisfied! ”

Yang Ling said in a deep voice,

"Lone has always been rewarded for merit, and punished for guilt!"

"Anyone who participated in last night's battle will be rewarded with a tael of silver each!"

"Those who are brave in battle and have meritorious deeds in battle will be rewarded with another five taels of silver!"

Hearing this, a flash of excitement flashed on the faces of all the guards!

Their monthly salary was only a penny.

This time, they got ten months of salary, how not to make them excited?

In particular, those guards who fought to the death and made meritorious achievements were rewarded with the equivalent of fifty months' salary!

Looking at the heavy silver in the hands of their companions, the guards who failed to get five taels of silver secretly swore in their hearts that if there was a battle next time, they would take the lead!

After handing out the bounty, Ji Lie pressed down with both hands, signaling the guards to be quiet.

"But let's not forget those brothers who died and were wounded in battle!"

"Whoever dies on the battlefield will receive a pension of fifty taels of silver and ten acres of land!"

"Those who are seriously injured and cannot return to the team will be halved on this basis!"

As soon as these words came out, not to mention the guards, even the palace guards on the side were shocked.

Although there is also a pension system in the Great Xia army, except for officers, ordinary soldiers only have a few taels of silver at most.

Where is like Ji Lie, opening his mouth is fifty taels of silver plus ten acres of land!

In addition, Ji Lie took all the guards to pay tribute to the dead and comfort their families.

Looking at those guards whose eyes were excited, their faces turned red, and they wanted to die for Ji Lie, Zhang Changde was full of emotion in his heart!

As long as you kill the enemy bravely, you will be richly rewarded.

Even if they die in battle, their families can still have no worries about food and clothing.

In this way, how can these guards be reluctant to forget their lives on the battlefield?

After everything was dealt with, Ji Lie got into the carriage, and just as he was about to leave, Zhang Changde came up again with a shy face,

"Lord Wang, what should I do with those war horses?"

In ancient battlefields, the difference between having a horse and not having a horse was huge.

When faced with infantry, cavalry had an overwhelming advantage.

Therefore, there is no one who does not like horses, and Zhang Changde is no exception.

The price of horses was not very expensive in the world.

An ordinary one is about twenty taels or more, and a war horse is about thirty taels to fifty taels.

As for the so-called divine horses, they can often be sold for sky-high prices!

It's just that it's cheaper to buy a horse, but it's more troublesome to raise a horse.

In order for a horse to have strength and stamina, forage is only the most basic.

In addition to this, it is mixed with concentrates such as corn, wheat bran, soybeans and black beans, as well as salt.

In this way, the combat effectiveness of the horse can be guaranteed.

Therefore, the cost of raising a horse is not lower than that of buying a horse.

In the palace, there were five horses in the palace as Ji Lie's chariot.

Li Zhuo just spent too much money, so he only sold one horse.

"Let's all stay, so that we can feed alive!"

"Commander Zhang, you have to train a cavalry for Lone!"

Ji Lie thought for a moment and commanded.

His fief was adjacent to the Hu people in the north, and the Hu people often invaded from the south.

If you want to deal with these Hu people, you must have your own cavalry.

Although there are not many war horses captured from the Black Mountain thieves, it is the most suitable to form a small team of cavalry!

Zhang Changde was overjoyed and should come down in one bite!

He was afraid that Ji Lie would think that it would cost too much money to raise horses, and he planned to sell all these war horses.

Ji Lie and Xiu'er sat in a carriage and swayed back to the palace.

He didn't have a good rest last night, and he didn't rush back to his room to rest.

But he commanded Laifu to gather all the people in the house.

After a while, the grooms, servants, and maidservants in the palace all gathered outside the palace hall.

Ji Lie crossed Erlang's legs, his eyes scanned everyone, and said lightly,

"We have a traitor, if this person stands up obediently, and is willing to confess and be lenient, he can spare his life."

"If you are stubborn, you can blame the lonely and ruthless!"

When his words landed, all the subordinates of the palace looked at each other, but none of them stood up.

Ji Lie waited for a while, and when he saw that there was still no answer, his face sank,

"Come on, arrest Feng Chong!"

Several guards on the side rushed forward like wolves and pulled Feng Chong, who looked frightened, out of the crowd.

"Lord Wang...... What does this mean, Lord Wang? I...... I'm not a traitor! ”

Feng Chong, who was pressed to the ground, tried to raise his head and defend himself.

"You still say you're not a traitor?"

Ji Lie walked up to Feng Chong, squatted down, stared at him, and sneered,

"Li Zhuo's death, you leaked it to Gongsun He, right?"

"Lone went to the village outside the city, you also told Gongsun He, right?"

"What you did, do you really not know?"

As soon as these words came out, Feng Chong's face was bloodless for a moment!

He never thought that Ji Lie would know everything he had done!

"Ask for ...... Ask the prince to be gracious! ”

"Lone has already given you a chance just now, but it's a pity that you didn't use it when you gave you a chance!"

Ji Lie shook his head and commanded indifferently,

"Kill Feng Chong in public!"

"Whoa!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the guards immediately raised their wooden sticks and slapped Feng Chong fiercely.

Such a cruel scene really made Xiu'er on the side a little unbearable.

Ji Lie took her in his arms, patted her on the back gently, and looked at Feng Chong, who was screaming in the hall, but there was no trace of unbearability on his face.

Although Feng Chong colluded with Li Zhuo, he was greedy for a lot of money in the Mo Palace.

But seeing how talented he is, Ji Lie still plans to keep him alive and temper him for a while.

If you are willing to change your mind, it is not impossible to reuse him.

It's just that Feng Chong, a bastard, is a thief, and he secretly went to tell Gongsun He.

That's all he could leave behind!

It didn't take long for Feng Chong to be beaten to death on the spot!

Ji Lie looked at the subordinates present and said coldly,

"From today on, if anyone dares to collude with people outside the palace, Feng Chong will be the end!"

He ordered Feng Chong to be killed with a cane in public, the purpose was to deter others in the palace!

After all, he lives in the palace, and if there are people around him who have ghosts, then he will be in danger!

Looking at the frightened crowd, Ji Lie nodded with satisfaction and instructed his subordinates to deal with Feng Chong's body.

He took Xiu'er's hand and walked towards his residence.

"How does His Highness know that Mr. Feng is a traitor?"

Xiu'er said curiously while making the bed for Ji Lie.

"Well, it's easy."

Ji Lie smiled and told Xiu'er about the Central Plains.
