Horse on the World

Chapter 650 Rewards and Punishments
Shanglinli, Dongdu Protectorate.

"Master, Qin Ming has been escorted to Shanglin, do you want to see him?" Luo Daoming asked.

Li Qing waved his hand, "No need, escort this person directly to Dingzhou City, and hand it over to Yousi. After the trial, he will be escorted to the Hall of Heroes, where he will be punished!"

"Yes!" Luo Daoming nodded.

"By the way, the palace guards who were captured by Jie were also tried together. These ordinary soldiers don't need to be held accountable too much. Serving as soldiers to eat food and being ordered by their superiors is not a big crime. I think I will punish them to work as coolies for a few years, so go dig coal and build roads!" Li Qing said.

"My lord, I'm afraid these people won't be able to do these jobs?" Luo Daoming smiled, "I went to see those palace guards!"

"What's the matter?" Li Qing asked strangely: "The palace guards are all big and thick, and they are strong and strong. Why can't they do these jobs?"

Luo Daoming spread his hands, "Wang Qi cut off their thumbs. Without their thumbs, they can't hold a pickaxe or swing an axe. These people, cough, useless!"

Li Qing took a breath, "Four to five hundred people, all of them had their thumbs cut off?"

Luo Daoming nodded.

"This Wang Qi, you are such a goddamn creature, what a strong laborer, how many things he can do, what a jerk!" Li Qing scolded.

Luo Daoming hesitated to speak, seeing his hesitation, Li Qing asked: "What's the matter, what else is there?"

"My lord!" Luo Daoming said, "these four to five hundred people actually surrendered after being surrounded by Wang Qi's army, and more than 500 palace guards who were captured after Qin Ming's stubborn resistance to the end were all beheaded by Wang Qi." It's public."

Li Qing's eyelids twitched, "He is the general on the battlefield, and he has the right to make decisions on the fly, so that's nothing."

"Most of the more than [-] people who were wiped out were prairie horse thieves who later accompanied Qin Ming. These people had already surrendered when they saw that things were not going well. Tu Jin, cut off his head and spread it to all the ministries in the grassland, all the ministries were shocked! Now the grasslands have heard Wang Qi's name and their faces have changed!"

With a snap, Li Qing's hands clenched, and he actually smashed the teacup in his hand, and the muscles on his face jumped a few times involuntarily.

"My lord, calm down!" Luo Daoming hurriedly said, "These horse thieves have attacked our Dingzhou caravan many times, killing countless people, and their deaths are not unjust. Although Wang Qi's actions are cruel, they are not unreasonable. Barbarians sometimes Thunderbolt is needed!"

"You really think so?" Li Qing looked at Luo Daoming with a half-smile, "Barbarians? Daoming, you have dealt with barbarians in Shanglin for many years. Are they different from us?"

Luo Daoming was stunned for a moment, then clasped his fists and said, "My lord, forgive me, what Wang Qi did is really asking for guilt!"

Li Qing laughed and said: "Smart, a strong general has no weak soldiers under his command. Qingfeng's confidant general is really extraordinary, very different from ordinary generals! One step can think about the next three steps, it's amazing! I underestimated him !"

Now that Li Qing has torn off the veil, Luo Daoming no longer hides it, "My lord, Wang Qi knows very well the reason and inner meaning of you sending him to the grassland. I'm afraid he didn't even think of it himself. Qin Ming was captured so quickly. Within a few months, capturing Qin Ming and subduing Qingbu almost wiped out all the horse thieves on the grassland!"

"Yeah, I didn't expect it either. I thought Qin Ming would continue to cause trouble on the grassland for a long time, but I didn't expect Wang Qi to come out and win in one fell swoop! Wang Qi knew that I sent him to the grassland to suppress the bandits, so he belittled him. But he accidentally made such a great achievement, what should I do? Reward? I’m afraid I don’t want to reward him, so I won’t reward? Wouldn’t it chill the hearts of hundreds of thousands of Dingzhou soldiers?”

Luo Daoming smiled and said nothing, the lord knew everything, he was so happy to bury his head in the sand.

"He posed a problem for me! He knew that I would be embarrassed, so he solved this problem for me and gave me a step down! That's why I say he is smart!" Li Qing said.

"Master, in fact, Wang Qi can let Qin Ming live and let him wander on the grassland, and he can also use this to suppress the grassland. If he can do this, in fact, he is still loyal to Dingzhou and you, the lord. .” Luo Daoming laughed.

"Of course, if he hadn't been loyal to Dingzhou, how could I have let him go away at will?" Li Qing sneered, "This time he was able to wipe out Qin Ming with so much heart, which makes me feel relieved. After all, he is still Dingzhou is the most important thing, if he really dares to let Qin Ming go under such a form and raise his own self-respect, he will live to the end!" Li Qing sneered.

Luo Daoming's heart tightened. Hearing what Li Qing said, he was afraid that there would be a handsome man by Wang Qi's side.

"Marshal, what should Wang Qi do? Is it a reward or a punishment?" Luo Daoming asked.

"Both reward and punishment!" Li Qing said indifferently: "Wang Qi defeated the defected palace guards and the horse bandits who caused disasters on the grassland, and was promoted to General Weiyuan, but he should kill prisoners on the battlefield. He hates cruelty and violates heaven. And, to hurt my reputation as a benevolent teacher in Dingzhou even more, I will be demoted to General Mingwei, and I will be fined for one year."

"My lord is wise!" Luo Daoming hurriedly flattered him. Wang Qi smeared himself. Not only did he earn a living for himself, but he was also promoted to a higher rank. Miss Qingfeng's subordinates are indeed extraordinary. ah!
"All the generals under Wang Qi's command have been promoted to the first level. Qi Shan has made great achievements in cooperating with Wang Qi in the battle, and he has been promoted to General Mingwei." Li Qing continued: "Wang Qi doesn't have to go back to Dingzhou, let him go to the room. Wei, as the military governor of the Xidu Protectorate, let me guard Shiwei."

"Yes, my lord, I will draw up an order right away."

"Daoming, do you know why I promoted Wang Qi to one rank in the end?" Li Qing smiled and said, "You know, my original intention was not like this."

"My lord, Wang Qi really did a great job this time!" Luo Daoming said in bewilderment.

Li Qing shook his head, "No, I promoted him to one rank only because his words won my heart!"

"Master?" Luo Daoming looked at Li Qing.

"Those who offend Dingzhou Tianwei will be punished no matter how far away!" Li Qing stood up, "I will write this sentence on a banner, and you will attach it to the order, and give it to Wang Qi together, I hope he will wake up in the future One point! Make me a good general!"

"The officer understands!"

Dingzhou, Taoyuan Xiaozhu.

Qingfeng stood in the field, reaching out to pick off the melons and fruits one by one and put them in the small basket. Most of the vegetables in the courtyard were already full of fruits.Obviously, Qingfeng really put in a lot of effort.

Carrying a small basket of melons and fruits, I walked slowly to the shade of the tree, washed a few melons and fruits in the breeze, picked up a cucumber, took a bite, and nodded, "Yes, this new The food that is picked off and the food that has been stored for a few days just taste different."

A guard came over, "Miss!"

"Well, what's the matter?" Qingfeng said lightly.The guards in Taoyuan Xiaozhuli are all from the personal guard battalion established by Li Qingxin. These soldiers are basically elites from various troops, but among them, there are also secrets laid by Qingfeng before.

"News from the Shanglinli Investigation Department has arrived!" the guard looked around and whispered.

"It's the Overwatch Council, not the Investigation Department. The Investigation Department is a thing of the past!" Qingfeng said softly, holding Cucumber's hand, and nodded.

"Yes, it's the Overwatch Council. Some news came from the Shanglinli Branch of the Overwatch Council's Internal Affairs Department."

"Say!"

"General Wang Qi defeated Qin Ming on the grassland and captured him alive. More than a thousand palace guards were either wiped out or captured! The horse bandits on the grassland were also wiped out along with them," the guard said excitedly. , "General Wang has made a great contribution this time."

"So fast?" Qingfeng suddenly raised his head, "What did the general say?"

The guards all knew that in the entire Dingzhou, there was only one person who called the commander-in-chief a general, and that person was Qingfeng, so when Qingfeng said the general, the guards would never think that she was talking about someone else.

"The commander promoted General Wang to General Weiyuan!"

With a snap, Qingfeng threw the cucumber into the basin, splashing a few splashes, Qingfeng's face darkened, "You bastard!" Qingfeng scolded.

"Miss, but because General Wang killed the prisoners, he killed thousands of captives who surrendered on the grassland in one go. Those palace guards who surrendered were also cut off their thumbs by General Wang and became useless. Because of this, The commander-in-chief immediately demoted General Wang and became General Mingwei, and was assigned to Shiwei to be the governor of the Xidu Protectorate!" The guard said again.

Qingfeng glanced at him, "Should I say things clearly once I don't know? Where did I come from the habit of splitting a sentence into two parts!"

"Miss, I'm afraid you won't be happy when you hear the latter paragraph. General Wang messed up this good thing in the end!" the guard said with a smile.

Qingfeng smiled, picked up the bitten cucumber from the basin, ate a few more bites, and said, "What do you know!"

"Miss, I'm going to be on duty again soon. I'm afraid it will be a few months before I come to Taoyuan Xiaozhu to be on duty next time. Do you have anything to tell me?" the guard said.

Qingfeng nodded, "Try to find a way to tell Wang Qi to stay in Shiwei well and take care of Shiwei for the general. Don't worry about what will happen to me here."

"One more thing!" The guard said again.

Qingfeng narrowed his eyes, the guard was startled, and hurriedly said: "When the general went to Shanglinli, he went to Chong County on the way, and when he came back, there was a woman beside him!"

"Woman?" Qingfeng was a little stunned. "What is the source?"

"It's not very clear yet, but it's young and beautiful!"

Qingfeng frowned, "What is the origin of this woman, I will find out after finding out a way. There is no need to tell me about this kind of nonsensical matter. The commander-in-chief has a high position and authority, so what does it matter how many women are around?"

"Yes, miss, then I'm leaving!"

"Go, be careful!"

The guard bowed and turned to leave.

"Miss, are you really going to stay here... to grow vegetables here?" The guard walked a few steps, then turned around and asked.

Qingfeng smiled, and waved him away. Seeing the back of the guard leaving, Qingfeng casually threw away the half-eaten cucumber, "Will I stay here forever? Maybe, maybe not necessarily."
