Li Er of the Tang Dynasty: Ancestor Xie is here!

Chapter 285 You can always come up with new tricks for me
The first rafters will die first. This is the experience and lesson of the Chinese ancestors.

Li Ji just expressed his plea to Xu Xi, not because he was so righteous, but because the two of them were on the same line. As the saying goes, when a rabbit dies and a fox is sad, things harm its own kind. Xu Xi's fate made Li Ji feel deeply uneasy.

In his desperation, his mind forgot to think.

It's quite ironic to say this. You actually mentioned the ancestral teachings in front of Taizu...

Zhao Kuangyin actually felt that his temper was good enough, but he still became angry because of Li Ji's ignorance of current affairs.

If I had to describe it, it would be "very angry."

"Ten thousand deaths? You are indeed ten thousand deaths!" Zhao Kuangyin snorted coldly: "Just because of your own selfishness, you have ignored hundreds of thousands of lives. You are really a good reader of sage books!"

"I am stupid, I will die!" Li Ji knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.

His attitude towards admitting his mistake was so good that it was hard not to suspect that he might not have been so pious even on the wedding night.

But this is not what Zhao Kuangyin should care about. What kind of person Li Ji is has its own conclusion in the history books. It can almost be said that his face was completely peeled off and exposed naked in front of people.

"You don't need to be afraid. I'll tie you up with that Xu Xi in a while. Whatever punishment he will receive, you will also receive the punishment!" Zhao Kuangyin said this, and after thinking about it for a moment, he stopped laughing: " With two of you guys here, it will be difficult for Song Dynasty to win."

"You said that in this Song Dynasty, how could He De be able to get together with you two?" Zhao Kuangyin crossed his legs, not caring about Li Qing's contemptuous eyes behind him: "Xixia is a small country, but it can bite you in a desperate situation. If you don't say anything, let your 200,000-strong army be wiped out - stop, stop, stop, I'm not letting you blame the blame. Bringing a group of civilians is not your excuse. You have to find the reason deep in your heart - okay Now, I won’t talk nonsense to you anymore… Qu Zhen?”

Qu Zhen immediately agreed: "This is Your Majesty Taizu!"

"Are you ready for what you want to prepare?" Lao Zhao asked.

"We're ready, we're just waiting for your order from Emperor Taizu!" Qu Zhen said very shamelessly.

"Take the people out...Wait a minute, I will also go out to watch with you, and then call the surviving soldiers in the city to watch with me how you, the Marquis, gave them such a bad breath!"

Zhao Kuangyin is a chicken thief, so he had to pick himself clean first, since it is a non-stick pan anyway. How to deal with Xu Xi and Li Ji was not because he wanted to punish them, but to give the soldiers a bad breath.

In short, he is standing on the moral high ground and outputting wildly, which is quite worthy of Li Qing's samadhi.

Qu Zhen took the order and held Xu Xi with one hand and Li Ji with the other.

He really disliked Xu Xi, who usually relied on the fact that he was a Jinshi and a scholar. He looked down on this and looked down on that, as if the Song Dynasty could no longer accommodate him. Now it falls into his hands, Qu Zhen, and he must give him a heavy punch to let him know how many eyes Lord Ma has!
After all, she was born in the military, and Qu Zhen has quite a lot of experience in the art of recovering memories.

By the time Zhao Kuangyin and others walked out of the camp, a large pot had been set up outside, and something was boiling inside.

When the wind blew this way, everyone immediately understood what this kid was cooking.

Holy shit, this guy is cooking shit!
"Why are you cooking shit, Qu Hou, I c..." The first thing Gao Yongneng did was to complain.

Qu Zhen spoke vigorously, and was stirring the pot with a big long spoon in her hand, like an alchemist: "Why are you boiling shit? Otherwise, you are an uneducated kid. You don't know a single Chinese character. The pole fell on you." I don’t know what the word is… Look, this is called golden juice!”

There's nothing wrong with what he said. In ancient times, this was what it was called.

It is generally used to defend the city. When the enemy climbs the city wall, a pot of hot water is poured down along it.

It is conceivable that when a hot ladle flies down, it will cause not only physical harm, but also psychological harm. What's more, there are many bacteria and viruses in that thing, and wound infection is a big problem.

Zhao Kuangyin immediately understood what Qu Zhen was going to do. He looked at Qu Zhen with satisfaction and praised: "You can always come up with something new for me."

"Then I'm going to execute you!" Seeing Zhao Kuangyin expressing satisfaction, Qu Zhen asked for instructions.

Seeing Zhao Kuangyin waving his hands, Qu Zhen immediately turned around and shouted: "Come here, bring Xu Xi and Li Ji to me!"

Immediately, someone escorted Xu Xi and Li Ji forward. With smelly socks stuffed in their mouths, they looked at Qu Zhen and shook their heads crazily.

"What are you shaking your head for?" Qu Zhen was amused, "You two know how to be afraid now?"

When the two heard this, they nodded hurriedly.

"What have you been doing so long? Where was the courage when you said, 'Master Wang will not encourage us to form a line'?" Qu Zhen took the riding whip and gently slapped Xu Xi's face, then turned to Li Ji, "And you Li Ji, Gao Qian I suggested that you spend money and silk to recruit warriors, weren’t you very adamant when you refused?”

After saying that, Qu Zhen no longer looked at the two of them, but raised her head and said to the surrounding soldiers: "Brothers, we are in this difficult situation today only because of Xu Xi and Li Ji - I won't say Do you know why we came here to build the city? When the Western bandits were crossing the river, we had a chance to defeat the Western bandit army. However, because of the so-called benevolence and righteousness, Xu Xi not only rejected Gao Qianha's proposal, but even He scolded him!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of noise among the soldiers.

In fact, they were also wondering why they did not attack when the Xixia people crossed the river, but had to wait for them to line up and come over to attack the Song army. Now that the case has been solved, it turns out that Xu Xi, a dog, gave the order.

"I suggested breaking out again, but Xu Xi scolded me again for being greedy for life and afraid of death. If I had really broken through, the Pingxi thieves wouldn't have been able to stop us!" Qu Zhen glared at me.

The noise became louder, and someone suddenly shouted: "Kill him!"

It was like a stone thrown into a latrine, arousing public outrage. In the anger of the crowd, some people even began to take off their shoes and throw them at Xu Xi and Li Ji.

A lump of phlegm suddenly flew out from the crowd and stuck on Xu Xi's face. Qu Zhen took one look and almost made herself sick.

He suppressed his nausea and waved his hand: "Death? That would be too easy for him. Have you seen those two big pots?"

"I saw it!" "I saw it!" Everyone agreed.

"Those two big pots are boiling with golden juice!" Qu Zhen pointed with her whip, "Today, we will use the pot to cook Xu Xi!"

"Isn't it easier for him to let him die like this?" Gao Yongneng suddenly asked on behalf of the soldiers. Of course what happened to him, but as a veteran, he has always had a high emotional intelligence.

Are you crazy about old music? You didn't introduce our Emperor Taizu when you came out. Isn't it a shame?
Lao Gao is over seventy this year, and his beard is gray and trembles when he speaks. If Zhao Kuangyin hadn't arrived in time, Gao Yongneng would have died here.

Quzhen heard the song and understood its elegant meaning. Only then did she realize what a big mistake she had made. He immediately wiped his sweat and introduced to the troops: "Before cooking Xu Xi, please allow me to introduce you to someone. It was he who came with the army so that we could escape death and escape!" This is—my Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty!”

"I, Emperor Taizu, Divine Wen and Shengwu, knew that we were trapped in Yongle City, so I brought my heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals to thank us! Brothers, people's hearts are all made of flesh. How can we repay Emperor Taizu's kindness? ?”

"Long live! Long live! Long live!" the troops shouted enthusiastically.

Copy, let’s just say it’s strange. Why did the divine soldiers suddenly descend from the sky and drive away the Western thieves so easily? It turned out to be the heavenly soldiers and generals led by Emperor Taizu! That's okay.

Zhao Kuangyin glanced at Qu Zhen meaningfully and nodded noncommittally.

This kid... OK, this is the message. He is a talented person, maybe you can keep him with you and use him.

"Congratulations to Emperor Taizu! Emperor Taizu's longevity is boundless!" Gao Yongneng immediately knelt down to show his loyalty.

After all, he is a veteran, and he still has a lot of culture, so he has a set of words. Under his leadership, all the troops knelt on the ground and thanked Emperor Taizu for his great kindness.

Zhao Kuangyin nodded with satisfaction and said, "Get back on your feet."

"Thank you, Emperor Taizu!" All the military academies thanked Tian'en again.

This is not at all out of respect for Zhao Kuangyin, it is entirely because of the life-saving grace just now. This is the most direct and greatest kindness.

"Emperor Taizu gave the elixir that after Xu Xi and others take it, they will not die no matter what punishment they receive!" Qu Zhen took advantage of the situation to throw a bombshell: "The following is what I have prepared for Xu Xi and the others. The first punishment—golden juice bath!”

"Come here!" Qu Zhen yelled energetically: "Throw these two idiots into the pot!"

The military academy that had just escorted Xu Xi and the two of them immediately threw them into the pot with their clothes on.

Before throwing them in, I didn't forget to take out the smelly socks.

This is also considerate of them. After all, you can shout out if it hurts, and it is inevitable to eat something while shouting.

Although elixirs can be immune to death, they are not immune to pain. The two of them were thrown into such hot golden juice, and immediately let out bursts of miserable howls. Coupled with the stench, it was a double whammy.

Especially when he was howling miserably, there were unknown objects pouring into his open mouth. The hot feeling was simply unbearable.

So now I am trapped in a vicious cycle, the more it hurts, the more I scream, and the more I scream, the more it hurts.

The two people in the pot were still flopping and struggling. Seeing the unbearable expressions on the faces of the soldiers below, Qu Zhen sneered and said, "Do you know why Ben is going to humiliate them two in this way?"

Seeing that everyone was silent and did not answer, Qu Zhen pointed at Xu Xi tremblingly and said, "If it weren't for this beast, why would we be here? When I was inspecting the city the day before yesterday, a brother on the city was hit by an arrow from a Western thief and couldn't stand still. Falling into the pot of boiling gold juice under the city! That brother suffered great pain before he died. All of this was caused by Xu Xigou. Do you think he should be punished like this? "

"Should!" The soldiers no longer had any doubts. After all, only soldiers with the same status as them could give them a sense of belonging.

"Because of this, I decided to fight tooth for tooth, blood for blood! Let this dog taste the pain of those dead brothers!" Qu Zhen pulled his neck fiercely and shouted: "Blood debt must be paid with blood!"

"Blood debt must be paid with blood!" the soldiers shouted excitedly.

After a while, when he saw that Xu Xi and Li Ji were lying in the pot and no longer screamed, Zhao Kuangyin signaled Qu Zhen to enter the account.

"Okay, how to deal with Xu Xi is up to you." Zhao Kuangyin coughed twice and said, "I think the top priority is to quell the Western bandits."

"This... I'll be honest, it would be better to delay the annihilation of Xixia for a while." Qu Zhen thought for a long time and felt that she had to tell the truth: "After all, the food road has been cut off, and the logistics supplies cannot keep up. Our army still needs to fight with the food supply." Make connections.”

"You don't need to worry about this. I have my own way of providing logistics." Zhao Kuangyin ordered: "What you need to do is to take people behind me to collect corn."

"Corn?" Qu Zhen scratched her head and asked, "I'm sorry for my ignorance, but what is this corn..."

Only then did Zhao Kuangyin remember that corn was a crop in Nanyinzhou. In the Song Dynasty, which had not traveled to the New World, corn was indeed an unknown thing.

"Corn is... a crop. This is not important. What is important is your mission." Zhao Kuangyin diverted the focus of the topic: "The remaining 200,000 people should not stay in Yongle City. Anyway, this is The city is useless and abandoned on the spot. Everyone will follow me and destroy Xixia!"

"But this Yongle City..." Gao Yongneng was a little reluctant to let go of Yongle City. After all, it was built with hard work. What if it was destroyed by the Xixia people?

"Don't worry about these jars and jars. We can just rebuild them after they are broken." Zhao Kuangyin said cheerfully: "The top priority now is to quell Xixia. We will talk about other things later!"

"Yes!" Gao Yongneng stood up straight immediately, and asked after a moment: "Then...the prisoners of the Western Thieves..."

"Someone will take care of the prisoner's issue." Zhao Kuangyin smiled: "You will know later, Lao Gao, these prisoners are in short supply..."

What he said was correct. Now that the new dimension has not been opened for more than ten years, the captives have been almost used up.

Originally, with the expansion of the plane, the price of captives dropped to one person and five taels. But with the no longer opening up the plane, coupled with the consumption of captives, not only has it gone back, but it has even risen to thirty taels of silver each.

Zhao Kuangyin is not short of money, but no one cares about having more money.

Make money, business, not shabby.

Since Emperor Taizu gave the order, others naturally have no objections. After all, Taizu is the emperor immediately. When it comes to fighting, he is no worse than everyone here. Basically, there will be no idle battles.

But it would be hard to say if there was another emperor, such as Song Chezong Zhao Guangyi. The generals may not object, but how they slander Zhao Guangyi in their hearts is another matter.

If a new round of the Northwest Donkey Cart Rally event occurs, it will be a shameful thing to do with your bare buttocks - spinning in circles.
