“Help!”
"Help……"
As Fu Tianyan and Lu Xing took turns beating him, Yuan Gui kept wailing.
However, as time went on, Yuan Gui's wailing became quieter.
Yun Li and his friends were on the city wall. Although they couldn't see Yuan Gui's face clearly, they could guess that the person being beaten was Yuan Gui.
It was common knowledge that Yun Zheng was unhappy with Yuan Gui.
"Sixth brother!"
Yun Li turned his head and looked at Yun Zheng who was watching with great interest: "Do your people still want to beat me to death?"
“Third brother, there is nothing I can do!” Yun Zheng pointed at the big drum on the city wall, “The drum keeps beating, I dare not interfere with the martial arts performance below!”
Yun Li's face fell and he almost burst into a curse.
...
...
After suppressing the urge to explode, Yun Li looked at Emperor Wen: "Father..."
Emperor Wen raised his hand to stop Yun Li and said calmly: "This idiot who can cause chaos with such a formation really needs to be taught a lesson!"
Listening to Emperor Wen's words, Yun Li instantly felt like a deflated ball.
That’s all!
This good-for-nothing really needs a lesson!
The competition that they had the best chance of winning was ruined by this glutton.
Even if there had not been this lesson, he would have taught Yuan Gui a severe lesson.
He was very upset when he had to watch his men being beaten up in public by Yun Zheng's men.
Yun Li stopped talking, and the competition below continued.
Fu Tianyan and his men were fighting vigorously.
But Yu Shizhong was in a miserable situation.
They suffered too many non-combat casualties. Although the Blood Shirt Army was powerful, this was not a real fight after all, and they were unable to bring out their greatest advantage.
Seeing that he could no longer hold on, Yu Shizhong simply jumped off his horse, which was equivalent to admitting defeat.
With Yu Shizhong's downfall, the result of this competition also came out.
On the other side, Lu Xing and his men finally stopped beating Yuan Gui.
Yuan Gui lay on the ground like a dead dog, with only the slight movement of his body indicating that he was still alive.
Although they did not kill him, Yuan Gui was seriously injured after being beaten by them.
I guess it will take more than two months before you can get out of bed.
The next moment, the drumbeats on the city wall suddenly stopped.
Although Zhou Daogong led his troops to victory, he could not be happy.
They all knew who won and who lost.
If Yu Shizhong had not ordered people to help the wounded, resulting in a large number of non-combat casualties, Zhou Daogong and his men would have been defeated.
Zhou Daogong glanced at Yu Shizhong silently, then raised his head to look at the tower, hesitated for a moment, and still did not dismount. He just bowed to Yu Shizhong on his horse, "General Yu is so righteous, I am ashamed to be inferior to him!"
"General Zhou, you are too kind. I accept defeat wholeheartedly!"
Yu Shizhong bowed in return, "I'll go check on the wounded first. If there's a chance, I'll have a good drink with General Zhou later!"
"good!"
Zhou Daogong nodded, "I'll go check on the wounded too!"
"Then together!"
Yu Shizhong laughed, climbed back on his horse, and ran quickly towards the wounded.
Many people were injured in this battle.
The main reason was that the sound of war drums never stopped in the later period, and many people who fell off their horses had no time to evacuate. Some were injured while charging into the battle, and were injured again after falling off their horses.
Fortunately, Yu Shizhong ordered people to rescue in time, and at least no one lost their life.
Seeing Yu Shizhong riding his horse, the seventy or eighty wounded soldiers under Zhou Daogong stood up one after another. Even those with leg injuries gritted their teeth and insisted on standing up. They all bowed and saluted: "Thank you, General!"
When Emperor Wen on the city wall saw this scene, he couldn't help but glance at Yun Zheng.
This rebellious son is really good at winning people's hearts!
They lost the competition, but won the hearts of the people!
There are so many imperial troops here today.
This news will spread quickly.
By then, the imperial army will know that the Sixth Prince is kind and righteous and treats his soldiers well.
In the future, even if the imperial court really goes to war with this rebellious son, many soldiers will probably surrender because of his actions today.
Zhao Ji naturally saw what Emperor Wen saw.
At this moment, Zhao Ji felt helpless.
I have the urge to curse again.
He could probably guess what Yun Li had sent someone to tell Zhou Daogong.
Based on his understanding of Zhou Daogong, if it weren't for Yun Li's order, Zhou Daogong would never have watched those injured soldiers about to be trampled to death by war horses and done nothing.
Just a competition!
There's nothing at stake, so why fight so hard?
Is it to win this small-scale competition, or to win the hearts of the troops?
Is this something that needs to be considered?
This prince is only good at playing conspiracies and intrigues. He really doesn't understand the art of being a general at all!
The prince’s boat is not stable!
No, it’s not unstable, but it may sink at any time!
However, he had some unpleasantness with Yun Zheng. He had even ridiculed Yun Zheng to his face. Moreover, he was a Confucian general, and some things were deeply rooted in his mind. Although he knew that Yun Zheng had made great contributions, he still strongly disagreed with Yun Zheng's behavior of holding his own troops, and even despised him.
The most important thing is that the prince still has leverage over his rebellious son. What else can he do if he doesn't stand on the prince's side?
At this moment, Zhao Ji was struggling inside.
He didn't even know how he got involved in this power struggle.
Just when Zhao Ji was in a daze, Yun Li stood up excitedly, bowed and said, "Father, these 700 warriors have greatly enhanced the military prestige of the court. I dare to ask for a reward on their behalf!"
Yun Li is not blind.
He also knew that his side's victory was unfair.
But if he wanted to win people's hearts, he had to ask for rewards on their behalf.
Emperor Wen waved his hand tiredly, forcing a smile, "You can handle this matter yourself..."
This rebellious son!
This is the only way to win people's hearts!
Yun Li was about to express his gratitude when Zhao Ji suddenly spoke up: "Your Highness, I think that these thousand people have staged such a wonderful competition for us. Everyone who participated in this battle should be rewarded!"
Um?
All rewards?
Yun Li was slightly stunned. What did Zhao Ji mean by this?
What is the purpose of rewarding Lao Liu?
Could it be that he thought that he could win over Lao Liu's people with such a small reward?
How is this possible!
Since he couldn't win over these people, wouldn't his reward be like throwing meat buns at a dog?
"What Zhao Aiqing said makes sense!"
Emperor Wen nodded slightly, "Everyone should be rewarded!"
"yes!"
Yun Li bowed and accepted the order.
Since the emperor has said so, it means that it is indeed necessary to reward the sixth brother and the others!
"Okay, let's go here first!"
Emperor Wen motioned for Mu Shun to help him up, and said slowly: "Let everyone eat something and have a good rest first, and then continue the competition in the afternoon..."
Yun Li took the order again.
With the help of Mu Shun, Emperor Wen slowly stood up and moved to the chair that had been prepared nearby.
"Farewell, Father (Your Majesty)..."
Everyone saluted.
After Emperor Wen left, Yun Zheng immediately looked at Yun Li, "Third brother, your good-for-nothing general is almost beaten to death, why don't you go and take a look?"
