Guo Yi's face turned gloomy. He didn't expect that he would lose at this point.
"How about it, Guo Yi? Do you admit defeat?" Liu Mang said as he placed his sword on Guo Yi's neck.
"Admit defeat? I don't admit defeat! Guo Yi wanted to struggle, but he was pressed down by Guan Hai. Several parts of Guo Yi's body were broken. "If it wasn't for that damn beast, how could I lose?" Guo Yi screamed with a ferocious face. If it wasn't for this damned warhorse that threw him off, how could he, Guo Yi, be captured by the enemy?
"Are you talking about Ye Guang?" Liu Mang said indifferently. "Guo Yi. Guo Yi. Have you forgotten how you obtained this warhorse?"
"Warhorse?" This warhorse is the one that Guo Yi snatched from Liu Mang and others.
"Guo Yi, you didn't lose unjustly. You lost because you were too greedy." Said Liu Mang while looking at the warhorse Ye Guang. Ye Guang was a divine steed. Its IQ was comparable to a child's. Therefore, it could understand most of the commands. Liu Mang used a bamboo flute in his bosom. Once the bamboo flute was blown, Ye Guang would be able to react. In order to fight against tigers and wolves in Witch Stream, Ye Guang could only bend down and leap over things.
The warhorse suddenly bent down and Guo Yi did not have time to react and was thrown away. This gave Liu Mang the opportunity to capture Guo Yi.
"I!" Guo Yi regretted it. If it wasn't for that damn beast, he wouldn't have been captured by the King Of Shu, Liu Mang.
"King Of Shu, if you let me go, I will never forget your kindness!" Guo Yi said to Liu Mang.
"Let you go?"
"You let me go!"
"Where do you want to go?" Liu Mang said playfully.
"As long as you let me go! I will leave Xinye, leave Yangzhou, and go to a place that Your Highness, the King Of Shu, cannot see! "Guo Yi looked at Liu Mang. Guo Yi was begging for mercy.
"Where are the horses?" Liu Mang stepped forward and stroked Luminous Light. Luminous Light was also very satisfied with being stroked by Liu Mang. It even used its horse head to gently nudge Liu Mang to express its love for Liu Mang.
"This warhorse is yours, Your Highness!"
"Where's Hao Liu!"
"I've already killed Hao Liu."
"Killed?" Liu Mang did not expect to hear this answer from Guo Yi's mouth. Hao Liu was one of Guo Yi's men. How could he be killed like this? This is truly a case of 'the good bow is put away after the birds have flown'.
"What should we do with these people?"
"Your Highness, their deeds are all in my Guo Family's residence. When I return, I will immediately hand them over to these commoners!"
"You must have earned a lot in the past few months!" Liu Mang continued.
"Your Highness, Guo Yi is willing to contribute 13,000 gold to support the Yangzhou Army!" Guo Yi gritted his teeth. In order to survive, Guo Yi could only take out all his assets.
13,000 gold. Liu Mang squinted his eyes. This was not a small number. When Liu Mang captured Sun Quan, the second son of Jiangdong, he had exchanged the same amount of money with Sun Ce from Jiangdong.
One was the second son of Jiangdong, the other was a small Prefectural Governor. The gap between the two was too big. It could be seen how greedy Guo Yi was. It had only been a few months. If this continued, the entire Xinye would not be able to satisfy Guo Yi's greed.
"This King will take the 13,000 gold!" Liu Mang said to Guo Yi.
Guo Yi's face was suddenly filled with joy. Although he was distressed that he had to give away all his wealth, he had no other choice. As long as he could survive, he would naturally have a chance to make a comeback. If he died, there would be nothing left. "Thank you, Your Highness, King Of Shu. Thank you, Your Highness, King Of Shu. “
"Don't thank me! You don't have to contribute the 13,000 gold. I will take it myself! " Liu Mang said indifferently to Guo Yi.
"Take it yourself?" Guo Yi was stunned for a moment. However, Guo Yi immediately reacted. The King Of Shu's words meant that he was not going to let him go. If Guo Yi contributed the 13,000 gold, it would mean that he was using it to buy his life from Liu Mang. However, if the King Of Shu took it himself, it would mean that Liu Mang was going to kill him.
"Your Highness, King Of Shu, are you really not going to let me go?" Guo Yi was still holding on to a glimmer of hope.
"Let you go? If I let you go, how am I going to explain it to the people? If I let you go, how am I going to govern Yangzhou? If I let you go, how am I going to explain it to the people? " Liu Mang said coldly to Guo Yi. Guo Yi was a greedy person. He took advantage of the loopholes in Yangzhou to be able to make a big move. If Liu Mang let him go, then what would happen if there was corruption in the future? Would it only be confiscation of his family's wealth?
Liu Mang never believed that a high salary could make his subordinates honest. He also did not believe that virtue could make these officials stop being corrupt. There is only one thing that Liu Mang believes in, and that is strict law.
Only a strict reward and punishment system could be used as a benchmark in front of these officials, letting them know that they could not cross the line. Guo Yi was very unlucky. He had become an example in Liu Mang's hands. If Guo Yi was let go, then there would be a second, a third, or even a tenth Guo Yi in Yangzhou.
Only by taking Guo Yi under the law could these corrupt officials, who wanted to interfere, know what a dead end was.
Moreover, Guo Yi was an opportunity for Liu Mang to restore his reputation. Now, the refugees had expressed their disdain for the King Of Shu, Liu Mang. They thought that the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, was a liar. He had tricked them to come to Yangzhou. He had lost his credibility.
To win the hearts of the people, Liu Mang could not let Guo Yi go. In order to give the people an explanation, he could not let Guo Yi go.
"Do you think you have won, Your Highness, King Of Shu?!" Guo Yi sneered at Liu Mang. Now that Guo Yi had been taken down, he finally admitted that Liu Mang was Liu Mang, King Of Shu. He also knew that the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, would not let him go.
"Did I lose?" Liu Mang asked.
"You didn't lose, but you also didn't win. Didn't you want me to die? Fine! Then I, Guo Yi, will die. On the road to the underworld, there is nothing wrong with being accompanied by Your Highness, King Of Shu! "Guo Yi shouted crazily.
"En?"
"Why are you still in a daze? Go, kill this King Of Shu, Liu Mang, and the others!" Guo Yi shouted hysterically.
"I want to see who dares! Guo Yi is already obsessed with going about things the wrong way. Do you want to follow in his footsteps? " Liu Mang knew why Guo Yi was so confident. It was because Liu Mang and the others had not eliminated the thousand soldiers that Guo Yi brought with him.
"Guo Yi's crimes are enough to wipe out his entire family. Don't be fooled by him. As long as you put down your weapons, we will let bygones be bygones!" Liu Mang said to the side, hoping that the Xinye defenders would listen to him.
Sure enough, when Liu Mang said that he would let bygones be bygones, many of the Xinye defenders were shaken and began to retreat.
"Let bygones be bygones? If you have not colluded with me in the past! In that case, put down your sabers and beg for surrender in front of His Highness King of Shu. Otherwise, you are destined to come down and accompany me! "Guo Yi struggled with all his might.
"Shut up!" Guan Hai stepped forward to stop Guo Yi's instigation. He wanted Guo Yi to stop talking, but it was obvious that Guo Yi's words had moved his subordinates.
After they found out about Liu Mang's true identity, they were very afraid. They also wondered if the law could not be enforced when there were too many people involved. Unfortunately, Guo Yi's words reminded them that they had not been involved in the grain and farmland. Guo Yi dared to be greedy, but he was not stingy. He took 60% of the grain and gave the remaining 40% to his subordinates. That was why they were willing to work for him.
After being reminded by Guo Yi, they finally remembered that the gold and silver in their family, the mansions they just bought, the concubines, and the servants they had were all exchanged for these grains and farmlands. If Liu Mang wanted to settle the score, they would all have to bear the consequences.
Therefore, their eyes began to turn red as they surrounded Liu Mang and the others.
"Your general is in my hands! Aren't you afraid that I will kill him? " Liu Mang placed his sword on Guo Yi's neck. Liu Mang did not want to become enemies with these Xinye soldiers because they were all part of the big family in Yangzhou. Liu Mang did not want to kill them. The reason he killed Hao Liu's subordinates was because he could see that none of them were good people.
"Do you have any other way out? Even if he doesn't care about your land and your pay, you besieged His Highness King of Shu. This is a great disrespect to the King of Shu. Do you have a second choice other than to apologize with death? "Guo Yi sneered.
"Kill, kill them. Don't worry about me, Guo Yi. At most, I will die. If I can have His Highness the King Of Shu as my companion, I will not lose anything. As long as we kill Liu Mang and those unruly commoners, where can we not go if we have money?" Guo Yi instigated the Xinye soldiers.
What he didn't know was that it wasn't just his Xinye army that was paying attention to the battle here. The commoners in the camp were also paying attention to the battle here. Both times, he said that he wanted to kill all the commoners in the camp, and those commoners had already heard it.
Guo Yi had already gone crazy. He wanted to die together with the King Of Shu and Liu Mang. There were a thousand people here. Even if none of them resisted, it would take half a day for Liu Mang and the others to kill. Liu Mang dared to face Guo Yi and the others directly because he knew that with the three of them, they would be able to capture the leader first. Once they captured Guo Yi, the battle would be over. Who would have thought that Guo Yi would go crazy in the end?
"Come, kill, kill! "Hahahaha! Liu Mang, you little brat, either you let me go or you die here with me! "Guo Yi shouted loudly. A cold light flashed and Guo Yi's shouts turned into screams.
