Chapter 273: Rewarding Huang Tong and Forming Archery Troops
Ye Feng was not in a hurry to take people to Qingyuan City. Instead, he settled Ge Qing and the other four people, and secretly ordered Lao Xu and Duan Peng to go outside Qingyuan City to check the situation as quickly as possible.
Although Ge Qing and others did not seem to be lying, if it was a conspiracy deliberately set up by Wu Xiao, the gain would be counterproductive, so it was always a good thing to be cautious.
About two or three hours later, Lao Xu and Duan Peng returned at full speed and found that Wu Xiao had indeed been killed. The soldiers on the walls of Qingyuan City all retreated and the city gates were wide open.
Ye Feng ordered people to call Ge Qing and others, and led all the generals and soldiers to Qingyuan City.
It was not until the evening that everyone finally arrived outside Qingyuan City.
Ge Qing and others took Ye Feng to identify Wu Xiao's body and came to the outside of the city gate.
Ye Feng raised his head and looked at the Qingquan Sword inserted into the city wall, as well as the line of words carved on it, with a smile on his face, thinking: "This little monk is really quite capable, able to kill a grandmaster."
Ye Feng brought his soldiers and followed Ge Qing to Qingyuan City, where he saw many soldiers standing not far away. When they saw Ye Feng coming on horseback, they all roared.
"Greetings to the King of Zhenguo!"
The sound echoed throughout Qingyuan City.
Ye Feng raised the corners of his mouth slightly with a smile on his face. Wu Xiao was indeed quite capable, and the soldiers he trained had a very good overall momentum.
"No need to be polite."
Ye Feng spoke loudly to the many soldiers.
"Your Excellency, I have ordered people to take care of Wu Xiao's family and descendants, and they are awaiting your disposal." Ge Qing made very appropriate arrangements.
When he left Qingyuan City to go to Guiyun City to meet Ye Feng, he had already ordered people to arrest Wu Xiao's wife, Li Linpu's daughter Li Xiu Lian, and three sons.
Following Ge Qing to the outside of the City Lord's Mansion, they saw a small group of soldiers tying up Wu Xiao's family and close associates outside.
On the left hand side, there was a beautiful middle-aged woman. When she saw Ye Feng coming, she gritted her teeth and stared at him intently, saying, "As the dignified ruler of a state, you dare not fight to the death with my husband, but you are plotting behind his back. You are really despicable and shameless."
"Warfare is the art of deception!" Ye Feng was not moved at all. He looked at Li Xiulian and said coldly, "Didn't the Prime Minister teach you that?"
"Humph! Ye Feng, what on earth do you want to do?"
Li Xiulian snorted coldly and asked angrily.
"Do you even need to ask? Wu Xiao intends to rebel, so his entire clan should be punished." Ye Feng said coldly. Since Wu Xiao's three brothers were all killed, he would naturally not let their families go.
"How dare you! My father is the prime minister of this dynasty. If you kill me, he will not let it go." Li Xiu Lian glared at Ye Feng and said viciously, wanting to use Li Lipu to threaten Ye Feng.
"Hahaha……"
Ye Feng laughed loudly, his eyes filled with cold murderous intent, and he said coldly: "I am really sorry, I have been waiting for your father to rebel for a long time, but unfortunately his endurance seems to be much stronger than all of you. He has been provoked again and again, but he is still as steady as a rock and dares not move rashly."
Just as Ye Feng said, he had been waiting for Li Linpu to show his true colors or for him to become desperate for so long.
Who would have thought that no matter how much loss Li Linpu suffered, he did not choose to rebel, but chose to endure it. Even Ye Feng admired his patience.
"If killing you can stimulate Li Linpu to take action, I would really love it." When Ye Feng left Jinling City, he had already made detailed arrangements.
As long as Li Linpu dared to act rashly, Yue Teng, as the general, would lead an army of hundreds of thousands outside the city and immediately raze the Prime Minister's Mansion to the ground.
"you you……"
Li Xiulian was furious, and she was unwilling to accept it. She was so old, she could die, but her three sons had just started their lives.
"kill!"
Ye Feng turned around and gave an order to Ge Qing and others without any hesitation.
Without any hesitation, Ge Qing ordered the guarding soldiers to kill without mercy.
For a while.
Blood kept flowing. Li Xiu Lian never expected Ye Feng to be so cruel and decisive. He would kill without showing any mercy.
Seeing that the butcher's knife was about to reach her three sons, she wailed and begged, "Lord Zhenguojun, please let my three children go. They don't know about Wu Xiao's rebellion... They are all innocent... Please... let them go."
Ye Feng heard Li Xiu Lian's cry for mercy from behind him, but he remained unmoved. As the emperor of the Song Dynasty, his womanly kindness would only harm himself in the end.
The three brothers of the Wu family were all killed by him. If he lets go of their son now, wouldn't they come looking for revenge in the future? He would not do such a foolish thing as raising a tiger to harm himself.
chi chi chi...
As the soldiers' spears floated, Wu Xiao's three sons were also beheaded.
Li Xiu Lian watched her son being beheaded and was so angry that she fainted and was also beheaded.
"General Ge, fortunately you know the situation and know to surrender to the King of Zhenguo as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to escape." A deputy general saw that all the confidants who followed Wu Xiao were killed one after another, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
……
In the blink of an eye, three days passed in a flash.
Many officials close to the three Wu brothers in Xiaohe County were completely eliminated.
Ye Feng sat on the main seat in the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion, with Madam Xinling, Li Shanxiao and others sitting on both sides.
"There is one person who played a vital role in our successful annihilation of the three Wu brothers and the recapture of Xiaohe County. That person is Huang Tong." Ye Feng looked at Huang Tong who was sitting on his left.
If Huang Tong had not cleverly led them to avoid the Ghost Wolf Valley and go to Dongshan Town to sneak into Baiyun City, they would probably have encountered many difficulties if they wanted to easily wipe out the three brothers of the Wu family.
"Zhen Guojun is the mastermind of this matter, and I, Huang, dare not take credit for it."
Huang Tong stood up quickly after hearing that, his old face full of smiles. He felt that he had lived in Liuchang County in anonymity and practiced for decades, and it was all worth it to meet a mentor like Ye Feng.
"You don't have to postpone it. I want to reward you as the Tiger General of the Great Song Dynasty. With your archery ability, you can form the archery army of the Great Song Dynasty. I wonder if you are willing?"
Others did not know Huang Tong's cultivation, but Ye Feng knew it very well. As long as Huang Tong formed a group of archers, their combat effectiveness would surely be greatly improved in due course of time.
"what?"
Huang Tong did not expect that Ye Feng would directly award him the title of General Hu Ben and let him form an archer army, which meant that in the future, he could lead the archers to fight the enemy.
You know, for so many years he has been practicing archery in Liuchang County under a pseudonym, training many hunters and archers, just to serve the motherland and fight on the battlefield one day.
Now Ye Feng put the opportunity directly in front of him.
"I obey your orders! I will live up to the expectations of the King!"
Huang Tong knew very well that if he continued to postpone it, he would appear to be coy and pretentious.
A real man should stand tall and upright, and die on the battlefield!
