Before Bao Xin could react, he was kicked several meters away by Cheng Yaojin.
"Damn it, you damn fatty, how dare you be rude to me, you…"
Bao Xin was just about to open his mouth to curse when Liu Ye was already standing in front of him. He stepped on his foot and stepped on the mud in his mouth. He could only let out a whimper.
"This king is leading the soldiers of Yanmen to fight a bloody battle in front of us, swearing to protect the territory of our Great Han.”
"You little rascals actually dare to attack this king's Yanmen territory and even dare to be rude to this king. Have you ever thought that you would be ruthlessly trampled under this king's feet today?”
Liu Ye's voice was stern as he angrily rebuked Bao Xin. He exerted even more force with his feet as he vented the anger that had accumulated for a long time.
Bao Xin didn't feel ashamed at all. He struggled with all his might and cursed,"Impudent! I was ordered by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty to send troops to crusade against the rebels. Even as the King of Zhao, you don't have the guts to injure me.”
"Just you wait. When I return to Luoyang, I will definitely report this to His Majesty and punish you severely.”
"Punishing Buchen, what a good word.”"Do you think I'll let a fool like you return to Luoyang?" Liu Ye sneered.”
"Now that the Yellow Turban bandits are rampaging, it's too late for you to take care of them. You still want to have ideas about this king? You're completely courting death.”
Amid the sarcasm, Liu Ye exerted more strength and stepped on Bao Xin until his face was covered in blood.
As a general of the Great Han Dynasty, Bao Xin was also one of the Eight Commanders of the West Garden in history. He was usually so glorious, but now he was trampled under someone else's feet. Bao Xin never dreamed that he would be able to enjoy such humiliation.
Bao Xin gritted his teeth in anger and roared crazily,""King Zhao, don't be so arrogant. I'm under the orders of the Great General, who controls all of the Great Han's soldiers. If you dare to humiliate me like this, he will definitely not forgive you.”
"Hmph, you all came to this king's house and attacked this king. Even if this king didn't humiliate you, would you let this king off?”
Liu Ye coldly snorted. His eyes suddenly narrowed, and his killing intent was awe-inspiring. He stretched out his hand and shouted,"Bring me the sword!"
Cheng Yaojin hurriedly walked to the side, holding a sword, and said with a smile,"Your Highness, the sword you wanted."
"King Zhao, what are you trying to do? I'm a general conferred by the imperial court. If you dare to kill me, the imperial court won't let you off. The great general will also tear you into pieces.”
Bao Xin finally panicked at this moment and shouted loudly.
"Don't worry, this king won't kill you. Letting you live is still useful to this king. Today, this king is just giving you a small punishment.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Ye raised his knife and slashed down.
Accompanied by a series of screams that sounded like a pig being slaughtered, one of Bao Xin's ears had already been cut off by Liu Ye.
"Liu Ye, you dog thief, you actually dared to cut off this general's ear. This general will definitely kill you, I will definitely let the Great General kill you.”
Bao Xin, who was lying on the ground, covered his bloody ears and let out hoarse roars and curses.
Liu Ye returned the sword to Cheng Yaojin, then looked at him and ordered,""Keep a close watch on this fellow. Remember not to let him die. If this king keeps him, he can still be exchanged for some money.”
"I understand."
Liu Ye patted his chest and hurriedly cupped his hands in obeisance.
He immediately ordered Bao Xin to be dragged away and kept under close watch.
After killing Bao Xin, the 10,000 soldiers under Bao Xin, other than those who had died or escaped, there were still 8,000 people. All of them had been taken advantage of by Liu Ye.
After this battle, Liu Ye's strength increased once again.
However, there was one thing that Liu Ye could not understand.
Since the Great Han Imperial Court already knew that he had the ability to destroy the Xianbei and Xiongnu, as long as they weren't out of their minds, they wouldn't let Bao Xin lead such a small group of people to their deaths.
"Could it be that the Great Han Imperial Court has undergone some other changes?”
When he thought about the Great Han Imperial Court, something unexpected had happened.
Liu Ye quickly ordered Li Yuanfang to continue mobilizing the Skynet members to investigate this change.
A few days later, Cai Yong and Cai Yan set off from Luoyang. They ate and slept in the open, traveling day and night, and finally arrived at Yanmen.
"Daughter, is this Yanmen County? Did we come to the wrong place?”
As Cai Yong walked over, he saw that all the people in Yanmen County were smiling and satisfied. He was dumbfounded.
Although he had never been to Yanmen Prefecture, he had heard that Yanmen was close to the Xianbei, Xiongnu, and other nomadic tribes. They had been harassed by these nomadic tribes all year round, and the people could not eat and live.
However, the current situation was completely contrary to what they had imagined. The entire Yanmen Gate was thriving, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going.
Looking into the distance, Cai Yan suddenly said in a low voice,"Father, look over there. It seems that they are recruiting corvee. Isn't there a rule for corvee? How can His Highness the King of Zhao recruit corvee privately?”
Seeing this, Cai Yong also hurried over and asked the minor official who was recruiting the corvee,"Dare I ask, sir, are you recruiting corvee?”
Seeing this, the young official immediately smiled and said,"Old man, you must be from another city. We are not recruiting corvee here, but recruiting workers.”
Cai Yong looked around and saw that many people had gathered around him. He asked curiously,"Isn't that the same thing? The imperial court already has a legal system for corvee. Isn't it a waste of money and enslaving the people if His Highness the King of Zhao recruits corvee privately?”
As he said that, Cai Yong's impression of Liu Ye instantly dropped.
The so-called corvee was nothing more than free labor.
However, the King of Zhao, Liu Ye, had actually used his power to wantonly enslave the people. To a great scholar, this was something that he could not stand.
