Chapter 47: The army of King Yan must come
"What on earth was going on with the previous disaster?!"
Wang Shun looked at Cui Heng with gritted teeth.
He lost this battle inexplicably and was defeated so miserably that he had no idea why he encountered such an absurd and terrifying natural disaster.
The sky was clear, but suddenly it seemed as if a big river was rushing over.
It was simply unheard of.
"How dare you disrespect the county lord!" Lu Zhengming shouted.
"Haha, kill me or behead me, it's all up to you!" Wang Shun looked unmoved and sneered, "This time I, Wang, admit defeat!"
Although he seemed so tough on the surface, he actually didn't think Cui Heng would kill him.
As the Anbei general of Great Yan and the brother of the King of Yan, Wang Shun knew very well how important his value was in the battle between the two armies.
And this value only existed when he was alive.
It would be gone if he died.
"Then drag Wang Shun away." Cui Heng said with a smile, "Send him directly to the south of the city, trap him on the pillar of the execution ground, and chop off his head for everyone at noon tomorrow."
The south of Juhe County was the place used to resettle the disaster victims of Dachang County. It was conceivable what Wang Shun would encounter once he was tied there.
It was not certain whether he could live until tomorrow.
Of course, the most surprising thing was that Cui Heng actually ordered the execution of Wang Shun.
This is the brother of the King of Yan!
Whether he was used to exchange chips with the King of Yan, or reported to the county governor or even the court, he could get a very generous reward.
However, this doubt only stayed in everyone's mind for a moment, and they soon thought of the scene on the city wall where Cui Heng splashed water into rain.
For such a living immortal, what does the reward from the county governor and the court mean?
But Wang Shun didn't know that the horrible natural disaster he encountered was caused by Cui Heng. After hearing Cui Heng's order, he almost thought that he had heard it wrong.
"You, you really want to kill me?" Wang Shun looked at Cui Heng in disbelief.
"Didn't you say that you can kill me or behead me at your will?" Cui Heng said with a smile, "You can't regret it, drag it on!"
"No, you can't, at least not..." Wang Shun finally panicked.
Especially when he was dragged out by two yamen runners, he shouted in fear, "You can't kill me! I am the brother of the King of Yan! I am his biological brother!"
But no one paid any attention to him.
At this moment, no one in Juhe County would have any objection to any of Cui Heng's orders.
Who would question a god who can call the wind and rain?
And for Cui Heng himself, it was enough to defeat the King of Yan's army in public and trigger extremely strong emotional outbursts among everyone in Juhe County.
Wang Shun's life or death is not important at all.
After all, he doesn't need to get any enemy information from Wang Shun.
Because it doesn't make any sense.
Judging from the level of the 50,000 soldiers, even if the remaining 300,000 troops of the King of Yan came to attack the city.
It was just a matter of splashing one or two more bowls of water.
Since Wang Shun wanted to die, it was just his wish.
Since Wang Shun's struggle was quite fierce, all the yamen runners in the hall followed him.
After Wang Shun was suppressed, besides Cui Heng, only Lu Zhengming and Monk Huishi were left.
"Your Highness, how should we deal with the more than 10,000 prisoners?" Lu Zhengming asked in a low voice.
Under normal circumstances, prisoners of war are either killed, thrown into labor, or incorporated into their own army after brainwashing.
Except for the first option, the other options do not seem to be used much.
There is no place in Juhe County that needs hard labor, nor is there an army that can recruit prisoners - there are less than 300 soldiers in the county.
But they can't be fed for free.
After all, food doesn't appear out of thin air...
Well, even if it does appear out of thin air, it can't be wasted like this.
"I asked the soldiers to record the civilians who stood up and took the initiative to defend the city, and summarized them with Zhao Guang." Cui Heng answered irrelevantly and smiled, "There are more than 5,000 civilians in total."
"What does the county lord mean?" Lu Zhengming didn't understand.
"Next, I will ask Zhao Guang to consult the opinions of these 5,000 people to see how many of them will be converted to regular soldiers. I plan to organize Juhe County's own army." Cui Heng smiled and said, "With regular troops, the captives will naturally be useful."
"Are you leaving here, Your Excellency?" Lu Zhengming keenly noticed the hidden meaning in Cui Heng's words.
"Your Excellency?" Monk Huishi also hurriedly spoke and saluted respectfully, "I am willing to follow Your Excellency until death!"
"The same goes for me!" Lu Zhengming bowed directly.
"Get up." Cui Heng smiled, and his magic power moved slightly, allowing the two to stand up. "We have to leave eventually, and we have to leave some power here to protect ourselves.
"But you don't have to be anxious. Even if I want to leave, it's not now. It's not too late to talk about whether you want to follow me or not."
After that fierce battle, everyone in Juhe County has worshipped him as a god.
Under such circumstances, the seven emotions of all beings that can be collected will naturally be greatly reduced.
Therefore, he plans to leave Juhe County after completely resolving the war disaster of King Yan, and go to another place to collect the seven emotions of all beings. By the way, he
can also find out the truth about the closure of the Xianxia Sect and the deeper face of this world.
"I will obey the order of the county lord. "
Lu Zhengming and Monk Huishi said in unison, and neither of them continued to talk about following.
"Come with me to meet our former county lord." Cui Heng chuckled.
...
Yan Sheng was obviously given special care, and the cell where he was imprisoned was the cleanest one.
However, after experiencing the previous bizarre defeat, his spirit was almost collapsed. Even though he had martial arts skills, he just sat in the cell stupidly, and didn't look like he was going to escape at all.
He didn't even notice Cui Heng's arrival.
"Master Yan, we meet again." Cui Heng took the initiative to greet him.
"You?" Yan Sheng looked at Cui Heng outside the cell and said self-deprecatingly, "It's my fault that I didn't recognize the real immortal. I didn't expect you to have the magical power to call the wind and rain."
"Just a few tricks, not worth mentioning." Cui Heng shook his head lightly and smiled, "Don't you want to know how I plan to deal with you?
"A small trick can destroy tens of thousands of troops with a flick of the finger, then what is a great magical power?" Yan Sheng was speechless, thinking that Cui Heng was making fun of him, "You are a god-like figure. If I can die in your hands, it will be an honor for me, Yan Sheng."
"I won't kill you, and I will let you go. "Cui Heng signaled Monk Huishi to open the prison door, and smiled faintly, "I said before that if the Yan Wang army did not take a detour, I would kill you.
"Now I have changed my mind and do not intend to kill you. In this way, your life should be mine. I want you to return to the Yan Wang army immediately after you are released from prison."
"A fairy-like figure like you also needs a spy?" Yan Sheng raised his head in surprise.
"I'm not asking you to be a spy." The smile on Cui Heng's face turned deep, "I'm worried that the Yan Wang will really take a detour. I also ask Master Yan to persuade him earnestly after returning that the Yan Wang army must come to attack Juhe County."
"You?!" Yan Sheng's eyes widened immediately.
