A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 775 Stabbed Face
Wu Huaiyu felt that Gong Tong was like an alligator, black and ugly, but full of aggression.

The Chinese alligator is also called the Chinese alligator, and there is also a Chinese alligator named Zhupolong.

Huaiyu soon figured out the identity of this guy. He was the son of Gong Xing, the governor of Longzhou, and his eldest son, but he was just a concubine.

I am in my 30s this year,

Courage means courage, but I feel like I lacked a bit of strategy. After all, facing the main force of the Tang Army's expedition camp, he actually dared to attack at night.

But it doesn't look like he is just a idiot.

After all, I heard that this guy is also a very famous figure in the lower reaches of Zuojiang River. Just looking at the tattoos all over his body, you can tell that this guy has never lost in a headhunting battle between tribes before.

"Do you know Huang Cheng?"

"Who doesn't know Mr. Huang?" Gong Tong didn't want to talk, but Huaiyu wanted to chat with him. He waved his hand to let go of Gong Tong.

At the same time, he also untied the others. In the prisoner of war camp, these unarmed people couldn't escape at all.

"Take them to treat their wounds and then give them breakfast,"

Huaiyu specially asked people to bring tables and chairs directly, and put wine and meat directly here for Gong Tong to enjoy.

Gong Tong is indeed hungry.

Seeing the braised beef, rice wine, and rice noodles, my stomach was already ringing.

Gong Tong wanted to be unyielding, but his stomach kept growling.

"You can't die as a starving ghost, right?" Huaiyu said with a smile.

Gong Tong then sat down and ate hard, but ignored Huaiyu.

Huaiyu sat and watched, observing the man carefully, but he did not say anything to persuade him to surrender. He just chatted casually. Gong Tong always said seven or eight sentences to him and barely replied,
Huaiyu didn't care either.
When he was full, Huaiyu also got up.
He asked people to treat Huang Cheng's prisoners the same way as before. They did hard labor during the day, took night classes at night, and were provided with two thin meals a day.
"If any of you are willing to abandon the dark side and turn to the light, I am very willing to accept it. After you complete your labor and cultural transformation, you can join the Xie Cong Army in the camp.

Of course, don’t force yourself if you don’t want to,”

Huaiyu smiled and suddenly stopped smiling, "After three months in the prisoner-of-war camp, those who still refuse to surrender will be shot to death. If you are not lucky, you will be shot. If you are lucky, you will be shot. Those who win will be sent to auction and become slaves.”

Full of murderous threats.

Gong Tong remained silent.
But after hearing what the translator said, many of the other prisoners of war were frightened.

Few people really want to die.

If you have a choice, you will be even less willing to die.

Huaiyu left and returned to the mountains. In the prisoner-of-war camp, an officer began to read out the rules of the camp. There were many rules and they were very strict. They were stricter than military law, ranging from death to flogging.

"If anyone dares to run away, he can be shot directly when being chased. If he is captured, one big toe will be cut off immediately and he will be whipped twenty times. If he is captured a second time, he will cut off the other big toe and be whipped. Forty lashes.”

"There is no third time. If both big toes are gone and he escapes and is caught again, he will be executed on the spot."

To escape and recapture, not only the toes must be cut off, but also face tattoos marked as escaped slaves.

After reading out these rules, others began to arrange labor.

It was all hard work. For example, today's first task was to pull the headless corpses of more than 300 people who died in the battle with the incoming camp yesterday to a downwind point far away from the camp, dig a hole and bury them.

There are more than 600 people to bury more than 300 people. This is not an easy job.

It's even more painful life.

Last night they drank Zhuangxing wine together and received rewards, and then they went out of the stronghold at night to dare to attack, but now they had to dig a hole to bury them, and they were still prisoners of war.

Someone couldn't help shouting loudly,
he doesn't want to die,

I don’t want to do hard labor in a prisoner of war camp, and I don’t want to be killed on November [-]. I don’t want to die, nor do I want to be a slave.

He wants to surrender,

Yesterday, he saw Huang Thirteenth Lang's entourage as an envoy in the village, saying that there were many benefits of surrender, such as becoming a auxiliary army, etc.
Before he finished shouting, Gong Tong turned to stare at him.
Immediately, several sturdy prisoners of war came forward to beat him.

But the next moment,
Suddenly, the archers on the tall towers in the prisoner of war camp were already setting up their bows and shooting arrows, one arrow at a time.
Several prisoners of war who were beating people had an arrow inserted into their naked upper bodies. The arrows penetrated very deep and were aimed at the fatal spot.
Five prisoners of war who were beaten were all killed.
He fell next to the savage young man who was beaten for surrendering.

Screams rang out in the prisoner-of-war camp,
Gong Tong gritted his teeth and his eyes were about to burst out with fire.

There was a crack of the whip,
The guard shouted,

"Didn't you fucking hear what I just read about the rules in the prisoner of war camp?"

"If you dare to disobey the camp rules, you will end up like this,"

The guard cursed angrily, "A bunch of beasts took these five corpses and buried them together."

The young man was almost pissed with fear.
Feeling Gong Tong's gaze, he quickly shouted to the guards, "I want to surrender. I am willing to join the imperial court. Please take me away, they will kill me."

The guards couldn't understand the barbaric language;
But I can probably guess what he means,
Although he looked down upon this guy who was afraid of death and wanted to surrender, he did not refuse.

Call for an interpreter,

After some questions and answers, the guard was very satisfied.
He stretched out his hand to pull up the young man who was kneeling on the ground, "Your name is Black Bull, right? You can abandon darkness and turn to light, which is very good."

"From now on, you are a member of my expedition camp. You will work with me for the time being. You are now a prisoner of war camp guard."

From prisoner of war to guard,

This young man named Hei Niu suddenly transformed and finally escaped from the sea of ​​suffering.

Gong Tong glared at him.
Hei Niu did not dare to face his gaze, and even trembled with fear.

At this time, the guard patted him twice on the shoulder, and then handed him a riding whip, "Remember, from now on you are the recruiter of the camp, and the guard and attendant of the prisoner of war camp,"

"If any of these prisoners of war dares to disobey the rules, you will beat him."

Hei Niu nodded excitedly and bowed.

Gong Tong continued to stare at him,
The black cow got angry and dared to stare back.

"If you dare to stare at me again, I will whip you."

Gong Tong is still like that.

The guard seemed satisfied with the situation and smiled at Hei Niu, "Did your eggs get lost last night? You are just a prisoner of war, how dare you glare at me?"

Black Bull's hand holding the whip trembled,

But in the end, he was still cruel, took a few steps forward, swung the riding crop and whipped it down hard, with a snap,
Gong Tong, the master of the cage village, was severely whipped, and there was a blood mark on his face, which was full of flesh and tattoos.

The more than 600 prisoners of war in the prisoner-of-war camp all stared with wide eyes in disbelief.

Gong Tong is the eldest son of Lord Dong. Although he is a commoner, he is still a big shot in the village, not to mention he has such a reputation for bravery. But this Black Niu is just a minor figure in the village.
Not only did he seek refuge with the Tang people, he also dared to whip the young master.

It's the other way around.

Many prisoners of war just wanted to step forward to teach him a lesson.
As a result, the guard's warning sound came.

In front of the fully drawn bows and arrows, everyone stood still.
After Hei Niu pulled out the whip, he seemed to have awakened. He shouted angrily at Gong Tong, "You bitch, if you dare to glare again, I will whip you to death."

Gong Tong gritted his teeth and finally turned around and left.

Black Bull spat hard behind his back, triumphantly.

More than 600 prisoners of war all lowered their heads.
A group of camp auxiliary soldiers guarding the camp were laughing wildly and unbridledly.

"Hei Niu, you've done a good job. I'll reward you with a boiled sweet potato."

"Thank you, Mr. Jun."

At this time, a prisoner of war approached cautiously and said, "Hei Niu, I also want to join the Tang Kingdom. Please tell me something. We have been playing together since childhood."

Hei Niu held his head high, but looked at his former partner in a condescending manner.
