Chapter 131 I Can't Take It Anymore
The next morning, a group of Khitans went to work. Yelu Hongji leaned against a tree and looked coldly, but did not step forward.
Sun Peng walked up to Ma Xuan and said, "Today, Yelu Hongji still doesn't work in your team. Let me tell you that if you don't work in the prison camp, there is no food to eat. You should deal with it early and don't shout hungry at that time."
Ma Xuan said angrily: "What is my identity? I dare to send the emperor! There are so many people here, don't choose one to be the team leader!"
Sun Peng shook his head: "Sorry, there is no such rule. The most important thing for us to watch you here is to follow the rules. We abide by the rules and control you, and you eat according to the rules. Okay, I have reminded you that it has nothing to do with me. The food you don't eat is just cheaper for us."
After saying that, he turned around and left, watching with several soldiers.
Ma Xuan sighed, went to Yelu Chage and whispered: "Master, what should I do? The emperor is the emperor and living here with us is a huge humiliation. How can I do work? But if he doesn't do work, the Song people won't give him food. If this continues, I'm afraid my body will be hungry. We have to find a way to solve this problem."
Yelu Chage shook his head helplessly: "What's the solution? In the battle of Youzhou, the emperor was hit hard, which is different from before. If it were before, the emperor would have listened to me. Now, no one can listen to anyone's words. Oh, you can bear it first. After a few days, the emperor will always understand. At that time, we will speak again and it will be useful."
Ma Xuan had a dark face and didn't know what to say. Yelu Chage was Yelu Hongji's cousin. He had a noble status in the Khitan and was an elder. If he didn't come forward, it would be even harder for others to say anything. Now building a house, he does heavy work every day, and he can only eat half a meal. How can Ma Xuan bear it? Yelu Hongji can tolerate it until he doesn't know when he can't stand it.
In addition to the Yelu royal family and the Xiao family, there were some other major families. Among the Han people, Han, Liu, Ma, and Zhao were called the four major families and had a prominent identity. As an important figure in the Ma family, Ma Xuan was extremely angry when he ended up, and was even more angry when he was implicated by Yelu Hongji. He was different from the Khitans. He was originally a Han family, but he worked like the Khitans.
These four major families are treated the same as those of the Khitans, and do not treat them particularly favorably. Du Zhongxiao explained that although they are Han people, they have worked with the Khitan for many years and have actively become Khitan, which is not suitable for viewing as Han people.
Ma Xuan sometimes thought that if his tribe members who were still in the Khitan could surrender to the Song Dynasty and make contributions, he might be different. After all, he was a Han Chinese, and he had no worries when he surrendered. Now that he was implicated by Yelu Hongji, this idea became even stronger.
At noon, there was no Yelu Hongji's meal, and Ma Hyun was only half of it.
The habit at this time was actually that there was no lunch. Because these people did heavy work, Du Zhongxiao specifically ordered to provide lunch. Although the meal was relatively simple, it was supplemented with the energy in the afternoon. After eating, Ma Xuan felt that her stomach was still empty. Looking at the person who was eating voraciously, he felt very resentful.
Yelu Hong swallowed his saliva hard, turned his head away, and did not look at others. But his stomach was not strong and he started to roar. Yelu Chage, on the other hand, couldn't bear it, and broke his steamed bun in half and handed it to Yelu Hongji quietly.
Yelu Hongji was about to pick up the steamed buns when he saw Sun Peng strode over and said sternly: "If you can't finish the meal, just leave it on the plate and don't be allowed to privately teach each other! Don't you understand the rules here?"
Yelu Chage suddenly stood up: "If you don't give me food, will I be willing to give it up? Do you do this to starve people to death?"
Sun Peng looked at Yelu Chage coldly and said, "You give it up? This meal is rewarded by the court! If you don't eat it, you will give it to others without food. If you violate the rules, you will be punished! Don't eat this meal, and you will be halved for the next meal!"
After saying that, he ordered the soldiers on the side to remove Yelu Chage's food.
The Khitans stood up, glared at Sun Peng, and looked at Sun Peng with a sneer, ordered his soldiers to form a team, and said sternly: "If anyone dares to disobey orders and make trouble privately, kill them on the spot!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers pulled out their waist knives and looked at the Khitans.
Sun Peng said: "Your 400,000 troops were beaten to pieces on the battlefield. Why do you think these hundred people can cause trouble? The court treats you well, as long as you work honestly, you will have food and drink. The houses you are building now are for you to live in! The food you plant is also for you to eat in the future! If you want to cause trouble, it is a bad thing for me to bully me!"
Yelu Chage saw that Sun Peng did not retreat at all, and felt guilty. After hearing Sun Peng's words, the Khitans couldn't help but lower their heads. Yes, the 400,000 troops on the battlefield could not even touch the Mao of the Song Dynasty, so they were beaten to pieces. What would happen if the troubles were caused now? Moreover, the cause of the incident was that Yelu Hongji refused to work, and the Song Dynasty did not treat everyone harshly.
The Khitan prisoners totaled more than 1,500, Cui Xiang had more than 1,000 people under him, and the management officials totaled more than 1,200. Even if these Khitans could be united, they would not cause any trouble if they got upside down.
After a while, Yelu Chage saw Yelu Hongji on the side still looking, and didn't know what it meant. He sighed in his heart and had to instruct everyone to calm down and not cause any trouble. If the Song army really dared to kill people, what's the use of these people?
Seeing everyone calm down again, Sun Peng said, "You are causing trouble today, so I will make it clear, so as not to be lucky. The boss told us that we should follow the rules and not beat and scold prisoners. However, it was also very clear. If someone violates the rules, he will be beaten to death! Do what you do and eat according to the rules, and everything will be fine. If someone intentionally causes trouble and cannot say anything, don't blame us for being too rude!"
After saying that, he turned around and said to Ma Hyun: "If such a thing happens, your team is to blame! Let's save the dinner tonight!"
Ma Xuan felt that he was holding his breath in his chest and almost fainted. He had lived for decades and had been worried about a meal. But now he suffered such suffering for a meal. However, he worked every day and couldn't eat enough to eat, so he really couldn't stand it.
In the afternoon, the sun was still hanging high in the sky, and Ma Xuan found Sun Peng and said, "General, how can I stand this way? If anyone in the team makes a mistake, I will be punished not to eat. It won't take long before I can hold on."
Sun Peng said: "There is no way. You are the team leader. If you don't manage well, of course you will be punished. If you don't do this, wouldn't this team leader just be a waste of time?"
Ma Hyun said: "Since the general says this, he has to do this. Let's do it. When I have to do my work and have dinner in the afternoon, I will gather everyone and tell you the matter. Please let the general do this."
