The Imperial Study.
"My lord," Xiang Yu said excitedly, "I never expected that so many Xianbei people would be so eager to join the army. There's a dark mass stretching for dozens of miles outside the city. They're all here to enlist."
"What happened to those Rakshasa people that Xiang Yu paraded through the streets?"
"During the procession of those Rakshasa people, they were beaten half to death by the local people, and each of them was left barely alive."
“Build a high platform outside the city, select some Xianbei people to push those Russians onto the platform, and behead them in public. For each Russian killed, I will reward him with five hundred taels of silver.”
"promise……"
"A great battle is imminent, you must go now."
"yes……"
Outside the imperial city.
The Xianbei people who came to join the army were a huge, dark mass, looking down from the city wall, like a swarm of ants.
Xiang Yu ordered these Xianbei people to build a platform ten zhang high in the middle of the crowd.
These Xianbei people held Jiang Tian and his group in high esteem.
These Xianbei people would eagerly participate in whatever they were asked to do.
The ten-zhang-high platform was completed in less than two hours.
Surrounded by the crowd, Jiang Tian walked up to the high platform.
When the Xianbei soldiers below saw Jiang Tian walk onto the platform, they all knelt down.
In their eyes, Jiang Tian was the one who saved them.
Without Jiang Tian, they would forever be trampled underfoot by the Rakshasa people.
Jiang Tian walked to the edge of the platform and took out a simple megaphone that he had redeemed from the system.
"Everyone..." Jiang Tian's voice was already loud, and when he said this, everyone was even more shocked.
The Xianbei people all gathered near the high platform, completely surrounding it.
“These Rakshasa people all deserve to die,” Jiang Tian snapped his fingers, and the Tiger Legion escorted the Rakshasa people who were still alive to the high platform.
"With a great battle imminent, we must kill these Russians to boost our morale and morale."
Upon hearing this, everyone cheered and jumped for joy.
Shouts erupted from the crowd.
“These people deserve to die. Today, you Xianbei people will come up here and behead them.”
With Jiang Tian's command.
The Xianbei people, who had been arranged beforehand, all went up to the high platform.
Holding scimitars and each carrying a Rakshasa, they walked to the edge of the platform.
Amidst cheers and jubilation from below.
The Xianbei people swiftly swung their swords and beheaded the Russians.
The scene was bustling with noise.
The cheers were deafening.
Amidst deafening cheers, all 500-plus Luosha people were beheaded.
Those bloodied heads fell from the ten-zhang-high platform.
The Xianbei people quickly swarmed over and began to punch and kick the bloodied heads.
The excitement at the scene reached its peak.
Jiang Tian cleared his throat, and the Xianbei people were stopped just as they were about to go down.
"Everyone, please be quiet. I have something important to announce," Jiang Tian continued through the simple megaphone.
The scene quickly quieted down.
Everyone stared intently at Jiang Tian on the high platform.
Bright red blood flowed continuously down the high platform.
Jiang Tian cleared his throat.
Those Xianbei people who were stopped looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.
"Everyone," Jiang Tian said loudly, making sure his voice could reach every corner.
Below the platform, everyone stood on tiptoe, straining to hear.
“I said that for every Rakshasa killed, the reward would be five hundred taels of silver. These warriors just killed Rakshasa, and each of them will receive a reward of five hundred taels of silver.”
"And the generals who led them received 250,000 taels of silver."
As soon as Jiang Tian said this, the Xianbei people on the high platform became excited.
They were at a loss just now, but when they heard Jiang Tian say that he was going to mention their silver, they all went crazy with joy.
Those leading troops in the audience were overjoyed.
A murmur of discussion quickly arose below.
"I never expected Lord Jiang to be so generous."
"Killing those prisoners of war actually earns you a silver reward."
"Those kids on the platform, they're so lucky."
"If I were on that high platform, I could also cut off their heads."
"They made five hundred taels of silver just like that. This money is too easy to earn."
Jiang Tian waved to General Murong Pingzhi, the Grand General of Pingnan.
"General Murong Pingzhi of Pingyuan is a skilled military leader, and his soldiers are brave and good at fighting. General Murong Pingzhi, come up to the stage and receive 250,000 taels of silver."
Murong Pingzhi, who was sitting in the audience, never expected that such a huge windfall would fall into his lap.
He thought he had misheard.
The person next to him quickly reminded him.
"General Murong, the lord has asked you to come up on stage to receive the award."
"Two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver! Sir, you are truly a master of military command. The battle hasn't even begun, and you've already received such a generous reward."
"The general is truly amazing."
Murong Pingzhi almost lost himself amidst the praise, and he scratched his head.
The man turned to the person next to him and asked, "Did the lord really say he would reward me with 250,000 taels of silver?"
Everyone around nodded.
Jiang Tian shouted loudly several more times from the high platform.
Murong Pingzhi's face was beaming like a chrysanthemum.
The guy jogged all the way to the high platform.
We arrived at the high platform.
