Back Off, Let Me Come

Gong Xiqiu is simply the nemesis of military commanders.

Those who can defeat him cannot defeat him, and those who can defeat him cannot defeat him. To a certain extent, he can be considered invincible.

The reinforcements were defeated in the first battle, and many people fled.

Those who could not escape became prisoners, waiting for their fate.

Anyone who often leads troops in war knows what kind of treatment you will get when you are a prisoner - generally speaking, this is directly proportional to your ability and status.

Only those with ability and status are worthy of being recruited and redeemed!

Prisoners of this level are usually entertained with good wine and food, waiting for the real talker to come forward to decide whether the prisoner should stay or stay.

Prisoners who have no ability or status are in dire straits. They are subjected to basic operations such as starvation and severe beatings. Methods like boiling eagles are used to completely suppress the prisoners' desire to resist. Some of them are even treated as living targets and pushed to the shooting range for the enemy. Take pleasure in feasting and drinking.

For a combative general, how can a dead target that doesn't move be more interesting than a living target that can run, jump, beg for mercy, and scream?

Judging from Gong Xiqiu's behavior, he is also cruel.

They waited anxiously for several days.

No one had food withheld, nor was he taken out and beaten severely. Apart from the fact that Dan Mansion was imprisoned and his freedom was restricted, it was no different from usual. Everyone didn't expect anything lucky, they were just worried that this was a sign of a storm coming: "...Sigh."

Just as he was sighing, an uninvited guest came into the tent.

Everyone in the tent felt like they were facing a powerful enemy.

_(:з　∠)_

In order to save the manpower to guard the prisoners, these reinforcement generals were imprisoned in multiple rooms, which also saved Gong Xiqiu from going to each room to inform: "Ma... His Highness is back, you all are ready to make a good appearance." . Remember, say what you should say and treat yourself as a mute if you don’t say anything. Don’t force me to slap you on happy days..."

Gong Xiqiu was so dismissive that everyone looked at him angrily.

"Seniors can be killed, but not humiliated!"

"It's such a shame and humiliation, it's better to kill us!"

"Yes! Don't think that we will succumb to you just to survive, and let you be scorned and humiliated by your words!" These people are not military generals who got up from the bottom. Even if they are not from aristocratic families, they are still wealthy. They have not been abused since they were young. People have treated you like this! Warn them about their appearance? Think they are cats and dogs?

Gong Xiqiu also didn't expect that his casual warning would elicit such a big reaction, and he said strangely: "My defeated general is not very capable, but his spirit is quite high. I came here to run errands to deliver a message because His Highness thinks so highly of you, why do you still use Qiao?" "

"you--"

Gong Xiqiu didn't bother to listen to the nonsense they were grinding back and forth like a chariot. He just didn't want to be humiliated, and he spoke with iron bones, and he didn't see any of them pull out a sword to kill themselves. If they are willing to commit suicide, I guarantee that no one will stop them from doing their justice!

I thought so in my heart, but didn't say it out loud.

If he really wanted to stimulate someone to the point of suicide, he would have to be criticized.

Gong Xiqiu came suddenly and left in a hurry.

No one knew what he was doing.

Come here and say a bunch of irritating things and then run away?

"...What did he just say, 'Your Highness is back'?" Not everyone can use the title "His Highness". First of all, there is a serious palace, and Xia Houli's group of reckless thieves are obviously not qualified. "This Your Highness refers to that Xia Houli ?”

"You will know soon what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd."

When the time came, they found that they still couldn't understand.

The night banquet is indeed a celebration banquet.

As prisoners, they were not tied up and used as trophies to display their military exploits. Instead, they were placed in the lower seats. The leaders of the reinforcements were not stupid, so they felt a little more at ease after seeing this scene. No matter how bad the seats are, they are still sitting.

This proves that Xia Houli did not intend to kill them all, but his intention to win over was more obvious. The people among them secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They could live, and no one wanted to die worthless. It would be somewhat embarrassing to attend the victory banquet of the victor as the defeated party.

When I looked up, the main seat was empty.

Moving his eyes again, Gong Xiqiu naturally took the top position among the generals.

The other generals had no doubt about this, and looked at Gong Xiqiu with reverence, respect and indescribable eagerness in their eyes. They even saw an extremely tall and burly man shyly walking up to Gong Xiqiu to propose a toast. This man clearly had a rugged appearance, with a full beard and a strong sense of manliness, but at this moment he spoke in a thin voice, Look at the big bird and look at it.

"I will serve you some wine at the end."

That ending sound is a wave of three tremors.

"Speaking humanly, don't force me to hit you!" Gong Xiqiu Duanjiu's hand was obviously shaking, and he rubbed his arm back and forth to wipe away the goose bumps. It was obvious that he couldn't stand this either, "It makes me sick."

The general said seriously: "I have an unkind request."

Gong Xiqiu calmed down and said, "Say."

The general leaned close to his ear and whispered.

"Really?" Gong Xiqiu first ate the melon, watched the show, was shocked, stunned, and in a daze, and glanced towards them from time to time. This look made everyone restless, and they couldn't hear clearly what they said. Intuition tells them that it is definitely not a good thing!

"Please ask the general to make it happen. This is all that's missing!"

Gong Xiqiu: "..."

Sometimes he wanted to report it to the government.

A simple boy from a reclusive family always fails to keep up with worldly trends because he is not perverted enough. He still doesn't understand why some people like to collect other people's crotches. The general noticed that his eyes had changed and hurriedly waved his hand to explain his innocence!

"The general doesn't really have that kind of hobby, he just wants to complete the set."

I don’t know where the evil wind blows from. To collect it, you need to collect sets. For example, several warriors of similar age in a certain place will have one set, several warriors with the same surname will have one set, and several fathers and sons from a sect will have one set... According to these People's strength and reputation also give these complete series a star rating. If one of them dies, it will be out of print, and some out of print are priced at astonishing prices in the world!

Those who are not obsessed with this are fine...

Once you have an obsession and see who is missing from a set, especially when the last item is missing, it will be heart-breaking!

Don't ask him why he didn't just ask the prisoner for it.

He wasn't the one who won her over. There's no symbolic meaning in asking for it by force.

If I could take advantage of Gong Xiqiu...

Well, the value suddenly went up.

Gong Xiqiu: "...What series is it?"

The general knew there was something going on as soon as he heard it.

The two of them muttered and muttered together.

Gong Xiqiu groaned. He keenly noticed that among the seven people in this series, one person stood out. He had no strength and looked like he had jumped in the queue through the back door. His complaints were overheard by Xia Houyu and he coughed out, causing Shen Tang to look sideways.

"...This custom really needs to be rectified." Weird customs continue to evolve, and it's really hard to take off the hat of Du Bi Pei.

Shen Tang's eyes pointed in Gong Xiqiu's direction.

Xia Houyu nodded: "... I have heard before that some warriors will deliberately group themselves with some famous and powerful warriors in order to quickly become famous. Rangers like to follow the crowd, so they really think that this person can be like others. Same name."

Even if they are not equally famous, there must be several brushes.

Otherwise, why would it be in a series?

Shen Tang was silent for three seconds: "Can you play porcelain like this?"

Isn't this just bundling to gain popularity?

Sure enough, there is no shortage of flexible minds at any time.

Xia Houyu had a few drinks happily today, his cheeks were flushed and he was slightly tipsy, and his whole person was much livelier, not as serious and steady as usual. The young man smiled and said: "There are more tricks than this..."

Shen Tang: "...ah?"

When the leaders of the reinforcements saw the "maid" walking up to the main seat and sitting down, their hearts were filled with excitement.

No, this is Xiahou Li? ? ?

It's not someone else, is it really Xia Houli? ? ?

They were still immersed in shock, and Xia Houyu had already led the civil and military forces to toast Shen Tang and congratulate him. Shen Tang said a few words of humility, and then passed the credit to everyone, and rewarded them according to their merits as usual. These were carefully finalized before the celebration banquet began, so that everyone could be convinced, ranging from military rewards to minor promotions.

The prisoners also listened with interest.

By the way, I took the opportunity to recognize other people's faces.

At the end of the round, the ministers took their seats one by one before it was their turn.

Unlike Gong Xiqiu, who was harsh and harsh, this Xiahou queen was quite polite to them, which made people feel flattered. But they don't dare to take it lightly. It's not without twists and turns. This routine is too common. However, Shen Tang did not follow common sense and went straight to the point: "I wonder if you have any plans for the future?"

Everyone: "..."

They have a plan, will Xia Houli let them achieve it?

For example, taking back Qiguo or something...

"I don't know, female gentleman...what can I say about this?"

The original article can be found in Liu#9@书/吧!

Shen Tang said sincerely: "Although a certain person has little talent and little knowledge, he always has a heart to help the world and save people in danger. If you want to calm down the troubled times and save the world's creatures from suffering, you can join a certain person!"

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

A bold one among them put aside his initial worries when he saw Shen Tang put down his body and talked peacefully: "...What if we are lazy and tired and don't want to start another dispute?"

"It is a pleasure to retreat to the mountains and forests and lie high on the east mountain."

Everyone fell into deep thought again.

They would rather choose the latter, but they are not alone. Each of them has family members. The meaning of this lady is very clear. Either surrender to her, or they will retire for a day while she lives. Unless she dies, they and their family will never get ahead. This is a fatal blow to a family with a weak foundation. Enemies they have offended in the past will also add insult to injury. Those days are the real despair. They never thought that the retreat Shen Tang mentioned was the real retreat...

When it comes to themselves and others, they don't have the capacity to do so.

Someone peeked at Gong Xiqiu, and his eyes were as fierce as a ghost.

The timid and cautious one swallowed his saliva and secretly thought that this was indeed a trap - Gong Xiqiu was acting as a villain, and Xia Houli was pretending to be a good guy here, pretending to be generous to make them relax their vigilance! Although they were angry in their hearts, no one dared to stand up and take the lead.

"Thank you, my lady, for not giving up. I am willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses."

Some people couldn't bear the pressure and made a choice.

Seeing the situation, other people also stood up to respond.

There are also people who do not believe in evil and choose another path, and the result is very happy. He receives a ransom bill, and after paying it off, he can regain his freedom. When the man saw the amount, his face turned green.

There is only one sentence left in my mind——

As expected, he started his career as a bandit, and he was ruthless in robbing!

The abdominal slander returned to the abdominal slander, and my heart fell to the ground.

Normal people are shameless. Now that they have asked for a sky-high price of ransom money, their previous grudges have been wiped out, and they will basically not continue to embarrass and extort. No matter what, it's much better than the worst-case scenario.

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, but there was no joy or anger on Shen Tang's face.

After processing, the celebration banquet officially started.

It was called a celebration banquet, but the leaders of the reinforcements were surprised to find that it was more like a court meeting. They were obviously wild warlords, but the atmosphere was stronger than the formal court meeting of the Qi Kingdom.

They even saw someone in the corner showing a mask of pain, eating food that tasted like chewing wax, just like being tortured.

The civil and military officials who were seated in the front listened carefully.

Oh, not including Gong Xichou.

This guy lowered his head to eat and raised his head to drink, relishing it.

Even if Xia Houli was talking, his mouth was not idle, not giving the leader the face he deserved. On the other hand, everyone else sat upright with their backs straight. Court meeting... No, the content of the celebration banquet ranged from the redivision of states, counties and districts in Qi Kingdom, to how to restore people's livelihood in various places, and how local government agencies can take the essence and remove the dregs... Unconsciously, this group of people also subconsciously put down their chopsticks and let their hands hang on their knees...

Isn't this more like a court meeting than the previous court meetings?

Qi State was destroyed and restored many times, and the regional division was quite arbitrary, basically according to the opinions of the local tyrants. This Lady Xiahou proposed to divide the country in a jagged pattern according to the trend of mountains, rivers, lakes and seas. The opinions of the local tyrants should not be taken into consideration.

Who has any opinions?

Then go and talk to her soldiers.

In this way, the original government jurisdiction must be reorganized.

You can tell how much work this is with your toes.

The complexity of the content is secondary. The most difficult thing is the efficiency of communication between the upper and lower levels and whether the measures can be implemented in place. They listened for half an hour, and their faces became more and more strange-no, regular army?

If this is a makeshift team, what is the original Qi State?

A joke?

Thinking of the old master who was hung up that day, I felt complicated.

"Report-Lord, found it!"

The long and boring court meeting made people exhausted.

At this time, a soldier came to report, and the few people who were secretly distracted in the meeting put away the painful masks and forced themselves to be alert to see what happened. A person was seen holding an object covered with red silk in both hands.

Seeing the outline, everyone understood.

It was the national seal!

Shen Tang played with the light white national seal, his posture was calm, and there was no eager greed in his eyes, as if it was not a treasure that the heroes of the world flocked to, but a useless decoration: "Where did you find this thing?"

"In the palace well."

There really was a palace maid who took the national seal and threw it into the well.

Shen Tang: "..."

The appearance of the national seal posed a problem for her.

It was obviously not possible to rename the country. There were not many connections with Kangguo. If a new name was created, the conflicts caused by the merger in the future would be more acute. The senior management knew the connection between the branch and Kangguo and had been prepared for it, but most of the middle and low-level management did not know. Even if this layer was not considered, the situation of the ally Quguo should be taken into consideration.

Shen Tang thought for a while and came up with an idea.

Well, just say that there is no auspicious day this year.

It is normal for the superior to be superstitious.
