At the foot of Tongguan Pass, in the main camp of the Jin army.
"Come here, push me up!" Li Xiang shouted loudly from the high platform.
Under the stage, although groups of soldiers lined up, the queues were not neat and even looked a little loose. At a glance, one can tell that there is still a big gap between this and the regular Jin army.
The weapons and armors worn by these soldiers were also slightly old and dilapidated. These were also replaced and eliminated by the real elite soldiers of the Jin Dynasty.
In fact, this army is indeed not a regular army of the Jin army, but a prisoner army composed of prisoners and even prisoners of war gathered by Li Xiang in order to attack Tongguan to serve as cannon fodder when attacking Tongguan.
Following Li Xiang's order, a group of strong soldiers pushed in one cart after another. The carts were filled with money, food, and even a small amount of minced meat and wine.
After this group of soldiers, another small group of soldiers, led by Dian Wei, slowly entered with several people who looked more embarrassed.
Li Xiang waved his head slightly, and Dian Wei immediately escorted these people to the front of the stage and lined them up. The soldiers kicked these people's legs hard, causing these people to kneel on the ground involuntarily in pain.
"Sirs, I'm sorry for you. It's all because I didn't notice. You are fighting desperately on the front line, but there are these big rats who embezzle food and pay, and regard the lives of our soldiers as nothing. You tell me, you should How about it?" Li Xiang pointed at several people kneeling in the audience and shouted loudly.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" As early as Li Xiang's signal, the leader of this army, Yang Dayan, took the lead in setting the pace.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!..." As Yang Dayan took the lead and shouted violently, gradually, sparse echoes sounded. Finally, everyone was brought into action, and the deafening sound rang out in the camp. .
"Li Yan, you are guilty!" Li Xiang looked at the man kneeling in the middle and said expressionlessly.
Li Yan, together with Cai Jing, Wang Fu, Liang Shicheng, Zhu Meng, and Tong Guan, are collectively known as the "Six Thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty" and one of the Six Thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Yan incorporated all the land he had previously collected into Xichengsuo, and more than 34,000 hectares of land were indirectly included in his sphere of influence.
His actions caused the people to become homeless and countless people went bankrupt. Some people were rich in the morning, but at night they became beggars on the streets, and because of these land Li Yan's ruthless killings He killed thousands of innocent people and made people hate him with itch.
And Li Yan was brought out by Zhao Ji during the last balance, and was implanted into Li Xiang's tribe.
As for Li Yan, Li Xiang didn't pay much attention to him at first. After all, no matter what this person was like in his previous life, he can still be said to be a brother of Li Xiang in this life. Although he is just a collateral lineage, Li Xiang does not He may kill his own kinsmen without any reason or guilt.
Clan power is still very useful in maintaining one's own rule. If you kill your own clan members without permission, it will easily make other clan members and subordinates feel disappointed. After all, if they kill even their own clansmen, how can other generals with foreign surnames have the confidence that their lord will not attack them.
However, this Li Yan is really easy to change, and his nature is hard to change. He has only been born for a short time, and he is already making trouble again. It is simply a dog that cannot be changed and eats shit!
This Li Yan was so bold that he actually bribed several young generals who were transporting grain and fodder, and tampered with the grain and fodder. Sand and gravel were mixed into the grain and grass to make a profit.
However, how did Li Yan know that not long after he did this, the relevant information had already been sent to Li Xiang's copywriting. The information on the floating room is not only for external monitoring, but also for internal monitoring. Li Xiang has not given up either. It's just that I haven't let anyone else know.
Although Li Yan only took action on part of the prisoner army's food and grass, it also touched Li Xiang's bottom line. Li Yan's behavior, to a greater extent, tampering with grain and grass during the war may even pose a hidden danger to Li Xiang's great cause of unifying the world.
What's more, this Li Yan has now given him the handle, how can Li Xiang let him go so easily. If Li Yan is killed at this time, except for those people who are usually close to Li Yan, the remaining people will only clap and applaud.
Besides, executing these people led by Li Yan in public can also help Li Xiang boost his morale.
As a cannon fodder unit, more than half of the prisoner army had been killed or injured during this period. Even though Li Xiang continued to give incentives, it was still difficult to avoid the problem of declining morale. At this time, Li Yan came at the right time.
"My lord, please spare my life, my subordinates don't dare to do it anymore..." Listening to the deafening shouts of killing, Li Yan could no longer calm down in his heart, and he immediately started crying and begging for mercy.
At the beginning, even after the incident, although Li Yan was scared, he never worried about his life. After all, he is also a member of the Li clan in Jinyang, and is the same clan as Li Xiang.
Although Li Yan, as an ordinary collateral lineage, was not familiar with Li Xiang, the direct lineage, Li Yan did not think that Li Xiang would take his life because of such a trivial matter.
Yes, in Li Xiang's eyes, this matter that had almost touched his bottom line was just a trivial matter in Li Yan's eyes. Some soldiers, especially these prisoner troops, were just like ants in Li Yan's eyes. The life and death of these people was not taken seriously by Li Yan at all.
What's more, since it was his first time doing this kind of thing, Li Yan didn't dare to go too far, and not much sand and gravel actually seeped into the grain and grass. If this were placed in the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Yan might simply transport the sand and gravel directly to the soldiers as food and grass.
"Spare you?" Li Xiang pulled out the long sword from his waist, stuck it on the ground, and said with a trace of anger, "I can spare you, but who will spare the soldiers who died because of you? ? Spare you, you have to ask the soldiers here if they agree!"
"No promise, no promise, no promise..." The deafening voice, led by Yang Dayan, rang out from the camp again.
An inexplicable smell came, and Li Xiang was immediately speechless. This Li Yan was really the one who had disgraced the Li family. He was so frightened by such a scene.
"It's better to kill a hundred of these useless things as soon as possible!" Li Xiang thought secretly in his heart.
"Lord, please have mercy on me. Lord, you and I are brothers of the same race. Lord, please have mercy on us..." At this time, Li Yan still did not give up his last chance to fight.
The howl sounded, but Li Xiang was not moved at all.
