Chapter 2249 Stunned
Li Shen was very satisfied with the praise from General Li. It was the rule that everyone should share the credit.
The entire battle plan has nothing to do with Li Shen, but as the main general, he must take the largest share.
Xue Rengui also deserves a big share, after all, he was the one who formulated the battle plan and executed it.
General Li knew that the credit this time was given to him entirely by Prince Ji, so he had no other thoughts.
Prince Ji is the governor of Xizhou, so they can just mobilize the troops without bringing him along.
He was probably brought along for the sake of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"Do you know how many people escaped during this pursuit between the two of you?"
Li Shen returned to the topic.
"Your Highness, most of the rebels I pursued have been shot dead or captured. Not many have escaped."
Xue Rengui was the first to stand up and report.
General Li also said:
"Your Highness Prince Ji, some of my subordinates have escaped, about a thousand people.
The main reason is that after we held off the rebels in the east, it was too late to pursue them."
"Well, it doesn't matter. Just run away. The rest of them can't cause any trouble."
Li Shen nodded. The five thousand troops led by General Li were responsible for the encirclement, unlike Xue Rengui and his men who belonged to the mobile force.
Li Shen could still accept the escape of a thousand people.
"You all did an excellent job this time. This king is very satisfied. You can go down and clean up first and arrange for the troops to set up camp.
Clean up the battlefield as quickly as possible. I want to know the casualties.
Go for it. "
Li Shen waved his hand, and the two of them immediately bowed and left.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
"Tie Niu, you can't go in."
"Why?"
At this time, there was a noise outside. Judging from the sound, it should be his personal guards returning.
Li Shen stood up and took Wang Xuance out of the tent, and saw several guards surrounding Li Tieniu.
"What's going on?" Li Shen shouted and walked forward to ask.
"Your Highness, I will ask Tie Niu to wash first before coming over to avoid causing any trouble to Your Highness.
But this fool said he had something for the prince and insisted on going in."
A guard in charge of escort came over quickly to report.
"Is there something? Tie Niu, what good stuff do you have, let me see it?" Li Shen became interested when he heard that there was something good.
After hearing this, the guards immediately made way to let Tie Niu come over. When he got closer, Li Shen realized that the guy's armor was covered in blood.
Because the armor is black and red, it cannot be seen from a distance.
As he got closer, a bloody smell hit him in the face, and Li Shen couldn't help but block his nose with a handkerchief.
How many people did this guy have to kill to do this?
Tie Niu walked up to Li Shen and fiddled with the package for a long time. Just as Li Shen was expecting, Tie Niu put something in front of Li Shen.
"My lord, look!"
Li Shen looked closely, and the air instantly solidified. Then he heard Li Shen shout:
“Ah~~~~~” He rolled his eyes and fainted.
Fortunately, Wang Xuance behind him was quick to support Li Shen, pinched his Ren Zhong point, and ordered someone to find a doctor.
The scene was in chaos, and only Tie Niu was scratching his head, not understanding what was wrong with the prince?
Wang Xuance took a look at what Tie Niu was holding in his hand and shook his head helplessly.
It was a human head, with blood gushing from all seven orifices. Tie Niu was holding the bun of hair, and blood was flowing from the eyes, nose and mouth.
Who wouldn’t be scared after seeing this?
Everyone carried Li Shen into the tent, and after a while, Li Shen finally woke up.
"The prince has woken up. Is he okay?" Wang Xuance hurried forward and asked.
Li Shen looked at the people surrounding him, his mind a little confused.
"I just had a dream. There were ghosts seeking my life. I also saw a human head with blood oozing from all seven orifices, chasing after me."
Looking at the frightened Li Shen, no one spoke. It was not a dream. There was indeed a human head with blood coming out of all seven orifices.
Li Shen slowly recalled what had just happened, and suddenly something appeared in front of him.
"Where is that bastard Tie Niu?" Li Shen asked.
"Your Highness, he is kneeling outside the tent." Shitou replied from the side.
"This bastard actually threatened me with a human head. I will punish him with fifty strokes of the cane. Beat him hard!"
Li Shen stroked his little heart and shouted angrily.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Tie Niu didn't mean to scare you. The head he held was that of the leader of the largest rebel group here.
He heard that he could get credit by killing enemies and cutting off their heads, so Tie Niu just went and chopped off the heads of several leaders he had killed.
I thought of giving it to the prince so that he could take credit for it and get more money.
Tie Niu said that he often heard the prince say that he was out of money, so... "
Shitou didn't say anything else after saying this. He had already asked Tieniu.
As Li Shen's personal guard, Li Tieniu was always by his side, and Li Shen never avoided him in anything he did.
So Tie Niu often heard Li Shen complaining about his poverty.
Originally, he wanted to send the head to King Ji and let King Ji collect the reward and get more money, but he didn't expect that it would backfire.
"That...that can't be..."
Li Shen was speechless for a moment. This idiot was actually still thinking about him. When he heard that he had no money, he actually went to chop off his head and asked him to exchange it for money.
To be honest, Li Shen still felt a little touched in his heart, and felt that his love for him over the years was not in vain.
Just thinking about the method used by this idiot, Li Shen couldn't help but tremble.
"Your Highness, Commander Li has good intentions. Please, for his sincerity towards you, forgive him this time."
At the critical moment, Wang Xuance stepped forward.
"Hmph! Since you pleaded for him, I'll let the caning go. But he can't escape the punishment of life. He must not eat meat for three days."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace." Shitou hurriedly thanked on Tieniu's behalf.
"Also, tell him to take his things and get out of here, clean himself up and come back.
Tell him that I am rich and that not a hair of mine is thicker than his waist.
This king does not need him to consider these things.
Even a flea in my Prince Ji’s mansion is fatter than those in other people’s houses.”
Li Shen was furious. He usually cried poor because he met his father. Without his father, when would he not show off his wealth?
Everything you eat, drink and use every day is top-notch stuff.
This idiot actually thinks he has no money. How ridiculous.
Shitou took the order and went out to tell Tieniu what Li Shen said. In the end, Tieniu gave the military merit to Zhou Daowu with some regret.
At night, several officials gathered in Li Shen’s central military tent.
"Everyone, can you count the casualties?"
Li Shen asked softly.
"Your Highness Prince Ji." Xue Rengui stood up. This sudden action frightened Li Shen and he dodged back.
"Sit down and talk, sit down and talk, no need to stand up." Li Shen pressed his hand.
Except for Wang Xuance, the others didn't know what happened to Prince Ji and were all shocked.
(It’s summer, and I have a bad cold. My body aches and I feel dizzy. Fellow readers, please pay attention.
It's so uncomfortable.)
