Chapter 154 Defending the City 3
Both sides successfully exchanged hostages and returned each other.
Back on the city wall, Ada Yi had awkward face. He didn't look at Li Feng or others. Ah Er and A San wanted to speak for Ada, but when he saw Li Feng's face, he held back his words.
"Do you dare to be a hero of the Turks?"
Ah Dahu's body was shocked and he knelt outside: "I am greedy for merit and have made great efforts and killed a thousand brothers. Please punish me."
"What should we do according to military orders?"
Xiang Ran said without changing his face: "Cut."
A Er and A San were shocked and thought Li Feng was really going to kill someone. The two of them quickly knelt beside A Da and pleaded for him: "Prince, he is also for victory. Please forgive him once."
Li Feng looked at Dong Chao, and Dong Chao stood still. He was not in the same group as the Turks, so there was no reason to plead for them.
Looking at Dong Chao who had not expressed his feelings, Li Feng was a little disappointed. He originally planned to take advantage of this opportunity to remove A Da and let Dong Chao temporarily take over some people and train him, but now it seems that Dong Chao is obviously not suitable.
Li Feng looked around the people around him. Ada, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, and A, were mercenaries. He could not expect them to be loyal to him.
Xiang Ran has always been a guard with him, loyal and loyal, as for his military ability, it would be fine if he didn't mention it.
Dong Chao has certain military capabilities, but he is not good at brains. He can be a vanguard, but is not suitable to be a general.
As for Sun Er, it is another dimension and has nothing to do with military affairs.
The problem Li Feng is facing now is the lack of talents, which cannot be won over overnight. Now he still needs A Da and cannot be removed.
Everyone looked at Li Feng with awesome eyes, waiting for his punishment.
Li Feng said: "Rewarding merits and punishments is the foundation for maintaining the operation of the group. Because your mistakes lead to the death of a thousand soldiers innocently. Such a serious crime should have been beheaded, but in the light of your hard work, death penalty can be avoided, and living crime cannot be escaped."
When A Er and A San heard Li Feng say that the death penalty could be avoided, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Behind these thousand people is a thousand families. They die their fathers, husbands, and sons. They lose their labor force, but they also have to live. I want you to be responsible for the pensions of these thousand people and their future lives."
Ada originally thought Li Feng would punish him for doing some hard work or beat him up, but he didn't expect that it would be such a punishment. How could he pay for the money from a thousand families?
"Prince, you'd better beat me, I have no money."
"You will have it, okay, get up."
Ada still couldn't stand up: "Prince, I don't have money, you can beat me, or you can beat me twice."
Li Feng was not angry, and went over to help Ada up and asked, "What would happen to your parents, wife and children if you died in battle today?"
Ada said: "My brother will marry my wife and raise my children."
Li Feng wanted to slap himself at this moment. He thought that using this method could remind the Turks of family affection, so that he could charge forward without any worries.
But this method can only be effective for people from the Central Plains who value family affection, bloodline and inheritance. For a Turkic nation where brothers and uncles are dead, sisters-in-law, or even fathers and mothers are extremely common, it is tantamount to playing the piano against a cow.
Li Feng didn't know what to say, so he waved his hand and said, "Just be responsible for the pension of one thousand people, ten taels per person, ten thousand taels of silver. In terms of your salary, you can afford it."
Ada actually didn't know how much his salary was, but he knew how much it was 10,000 taels. No matter how high his salary was, he would never be able to pay so much money.
"Prince, you can beat me three times, I don't have that much money."
Li Feng was so angry that he said: "Are you asking for money and not living?"
Ada knelt on the ground and stammered his neck, as if he would kill him if he wanted to.
A Er and A San were about to come out to persuade him again, but Li Feng stopped him: "Okay, since you think money is more important than life, I will give you my help and drag it down and hit the three hundred big boards."
Ada was very tough and didn't say a word of mercy. He was dragged down by someone and beat the board.
The person who beat the board knew that Li Feng just wanted to teach A Da a lesson, not to kill him, so he was very particular about the attack, just to hurt him, but after three hundred boards, he still beat A Da a butt.
After Ada was dragged down, Li Feng ignored him and turned to Guo Pengyunjun outside.
Guo Pengyun is worthy of being a general who can control the Eastern Capital. He arranged an army of tens of thousands of people very well, and it was a fantasy to attack the camp.
This is the first time that Li Feng is commanding such a large-scale battle. He is facing a long-time general on the battlefield, and Li Feng is also a little overwhelmed.
Just as they were watching, a noisy sound came from below. When everyone looked back, they saw many gorgeously dressed people being ordered by soldiers to arrive on the city wall.
These hundreds of people were officials and gentry from the Dongdu, and they held 100% of the economic and political power of the Dongdu.
In the past, these people stomped their feet and the entire Henan Road would tremble, but today they were threatened by a group of Qiu Bas with swords to come to the city wall. The fear and anger can be imagined.
When Li Feng saw the people he was waiting for came over, he shouted: "I asked you to invite all the adults here, why are you so rude? You are punished not to have dinner tonight.
Dear sirs, I am so sorry. I asked them to invite you. Who knew that this happened? I apologize to you here. However, in an extraordinary period, my subordinates are all illiterate Qiu Ba, so please forgive me."
How dare these people reply? They just learned the news of King You’s rebellion, and before they could be surprised, Dongdu fell, so their minds were buzzing now. The defense of Dongdu City was no less than that of the capital, so why did it fall so quickly?
An old man standing in front said angrily: "You don't need to pretend, and we won't succumb to your tyranny, bah."
The old man who was talking spat at Li Feng fiercely, and was bounced away by an invisible force when it was about to fall on Li Feng's face.
Only then did Xiang Ran react and went over and twisted the old man's arm hard: "Bold."
The old man's face was painful, but his heroic spirit was not diminished: "Li Feng, everyone can punish you, a traitor who commits rebellion."
Li Feng listened to this kind of words several times, but had no effect on him.
But Xiang Ran was so angry that he raised his hand to suck it, but was stopped by Li Feng: "As old man, will you beat him up again? Is the old man's surname?"
Xiang Ran stopped embarrassedly, and the old man held his head up and said, "I am the Heroine of Henan Province, Yuan Ruida."
Li Feng pretended to be surprised and quickly stepped forward to salute: "It turns out that he is the lay Buddhist Huangmei, the leader of the four friends in the snow, and has long admired him."
Yuan Ruida snorted coldly and did not answer.
After Li Feng bowed in a pretentious manner, he shook his head with a little regret: "Before I saw Mr. I thought he was famous all over the world and must be a knowledgeable and well-informed man. I didn't expect that like these rural people, he followed the crowd.
It seems that meeting is not as good as being famous. People spread rumors, but many people are already empty."
