When Liu Heng heard Wang Yanzhang's words, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He patted Wang Yanzhang's shoulder, giving Wang Yanzhang a shock.
"Hahaha, I got it!" Liu Heng laughed loudly. Now we have an inexhaustible supply of kerosene! If you heat up this dung, its attack power should not be inferior to kerosene, right?”
Liu Heng waved his hand and smiled." That's nothing. It's much better than dying and being smoked by feces."”
After saying that, he patted Wang Yanzhang and said," Alright, hurry up and do it. If my predictions are correct, Du Tao's news should be coming soon."”
Wang Yanzhang nodded and immediately went down to do it. After a small day, the Korean camp finally sent someone to send news that the Koreans had agreed to Liu Heng's proposal. From today onwards, both the Tang and Han armies could come to the city to collect the corpses, but neither side was allowed to bring weapons.
The Tang army would come in the morning, and the Han army would come in the afternoon. If the Tang broke their promise, the Han army would attack.
Liu Heng nodded and dismissed the people from the Han camp. Gao Peng, who was at the side, said worriedly,""General, will Du Tao be in danger if he stays in the Han Camp?”
Liu Heng shook his head and said," The Han people left Du Tao behind because they were afraid that we would betray them. When the time comes, they will take the opportunity to ambush them or retreat from Wengjin City. They can even use Du Tao to frame us. Du Tao must be very clear about this, so he will definitely think of a way to escape."”
Liu Heng waved his hand and said," No, now is not the time for him to come back. Ziming, write a letter immediately. There are some polite words and compliments for the Korean. Tell the Korean to call Du Tao and give him some money. If he goes around him, he must call Du Tao!"”
Wang Yanzhang nodded. Liu Heng looked up at the ceiling and said,"I hope Du Tao can understand."
Liu Heng clenched his fists and shouted in his heart,""Brother, you must come back alive!”
The three brothers were silent for a while. Liu Heng turned to Gao Peng and said,""Gao Peng, how many able-bodied men have you recruited?”
" I've already recruited more than 3,000 people," Gao Peng said, cupping his hands.”
"Are the people resentful?" Liu Heng asked.
" It's alright," Gao Peng said." My men have already spread rumors throughout the city…No, they've spread the image of the Koreans as demons."”
Liu Heng nodded, but then shook his head."No, we don't have enough people. We can't recruit more.”
Gao Peng hesitated and said," Well... there aren't many strong men left now, but General, there's a place where we can still recruit people, and they can go to the battlefield without too much training.”
"Where?" Liu Heng asked immediately.”
Gao Peng hesitated." This place is…a prison!"”
"Prison?" Liu Heng was stunned.
Gao Peng said," General, there are still some prisoners in the prison. They've all been armed with knives and guns. As long as they can go on the battlefield, they'll be a force to be reckoned with."”
Liu Heng nodded." Yes, you're right. If you give the order now, if the prisoner…Forget it, I'll go myself."”
Gao Peng nodded and left with Liu Heng. Wang Yanzhang had already completed the task Liu Heng had given him, and then he began to train the able-bodied men.
Liu Heng stood at the entrance of the prison. Liu Heng cleared his throat. The prisoners stood up shakily. Those who couldn't stand up also looked at Liu Heng.
Liu Heng saw that it was hungry. Liu Heng turned to look at Gao Peng, who then looked at the warden. The warden said,""The city is short of food. How can there be food for the prisoners?”
Liu Heng nodded. It was not their fault. Even if there was no war at this time, the prisoners in the prison were still living without food. Sometimes, they would even eat others.
" Give them a full meal," Liu Heng said to Gao Peng." Everyone, no matter what crime they have committed."”
Gao Peng nodded and gave his orders. Liu Heng didn't even look at the prisoners and brought Gao Peng to the city wall.
Below the city wall, the Koreans were collecting the bodies. Liu Heng stood on the city wall and watched. The Koreans were still trembling with fear as they slowly collected the bodies. Liu Heng suddenly turned to Gao Peng and said,""I really don't want to see this."
Gao Peng was stunned. Liu Heng went straight down the city wall and went back to the prison. The prisoners had just finished eating. This was probably the first time they had eaten a full meal since they were born.
There was once when Liu Heng stood in front of them. They didn't know if it was because they had eaten too much, but none of them stood up.
"You're all five-foot-tall men! Stand up!" Liu Heng shouted angrily.”
The prisoners had already gotten up immediately. After eating their fill, they had the strength.
"You guys had a good meal, right?" Liu Heng suddenly laughed.”
The prisoners blushed. After all, they were the ones who had eaten the shortest time, but they all showed expressions of reluctance to part with this meal.
Liu Heng continued," Since you know it's good to have a full meal, I'll give you a chance to have a full meal now. Not only can I let you have a full meal, but I can also let you get rid of the scapegoat. Moreover, we can also let you kill the enemy and make contributions. How about it? With such excellent conditions, aren't you all eager to sign up?”
The prisoners were very excited when they heard the first half of Liu Heng's words, but when they heard Liu Heng's last sentence, they were all shocked. This was to make them serve in the army. They could still live in prison now, but if they went to the battlefield, they might die on the spot.
"Me!" Liu Heng shouted. Now, I want to tell you, Weng Jin's manager, that you all have to go up to the city to resist the enemy. If you can kill more than two people, no matter what sins you have committed, you can atone for them.
If you have greater achievements, you will receive the same rewards as ordinary soldiers. If you die in battle, your families will also receive compensation. I'm not advising you now, I'm ordering you! If you are unwilling, you will be punished for colluding with the enemy!”
Liu Heng's words left no one able to refute him. If they didn't go up to the top of the city wall to defend against the enemy, they would die. Suddenly, a small prisoner held him up and shouted,"Good! Motherf * cker, I've had enough of staying here! Even if I die, I'll kill a few to make up for it. If I die, will my family receive compensation?”
" I, Liu Heng, swear to the heavens that everything I said today is the truth. If I go against it, I will be struck by lightning and die a horrible death. I will have no descendants."”
Liu Heng had sworn a death oath.
"Good!" the prisoner shouted. From today onwards, my life is yours!”
The prisoners were also very excited. After all, the outside world might be an extravagant hope for them. They still had enough to eat outside, so they were also willing.
After the old man released the prisoners, Liu Heng looked at the innermost part of the prison. There were still prisoners. Why didn't the old man release them? Liu Heng called the old man over and said,"There should still be prisoners inside, right? Why didn't you let him out?"
" General," the warden whispered to Liu Heng," there are all felons in there. They have killed many people. If we let them out, what if…"
Liu Heng waved his hand. This was a critical period. If they were really masters who killed without spilling blood, then they must have a considerable combat strength. Liu Heng asked the prison head to bring him in.
As soon as Liu Heng entered, a pungent smell of blood and feces assaulted his nostrils. He was almost pushed out.
Liu Heng covered his nose and looked speechlessly at the prison guard. The prison guard also covered his nose and looked speechlessly at Liu Heng. His eyes were saying," You insisted on coming in."
