Chapter 229
"Did you see that? Tuoba Tao, who is like an emperor in your hearts, is like a dead dog in front of me. No matter how I frame him or blackmail him, he dare not say a word."
"I can do whatever I want to Tuoba Hong, who is extremely powerful in your eyes? I want to chop off his head now, and he has no power to resist." As soon as Tuoba Tao left, Li Hao stood in the parade ground and said loudly to the more than 20,000 family soldiers below.
After Tuoba Tao promised Li Hao to hand over 300,000 taels of gold and 1 million dan of grain to Li Qingluo, Li Hao asked Murong Fu to take him away and put him in the prison in the military camp.
300,000 taels of gold seems to be a lot, but in fact, it is not much after converting it into silver.
In ancient times, 300,000 taels of gold could only be exchanged for 3 million taels of silver at most, and sometimes even less.
"No, I don't know." Li Hao's voice fell for nearly five minutes before a man with a full beard whispered.
"You are very good, you dare to speak. But your voice is too soft, I can't hear you. If you are a man, say what you want to say loudly." Li Hao said loudly to the bearded man.
Li Hao was very pleased that these slaves who lived without dignity under the oppression of the aristocratic family finally dared to speak under his guidance. This is a good start.
"I don't know" With Li Hao's affirmation, the bearded man seemed to have regained his courage as a man.
Under everyone's encouraging eyes, he said his sentence in full, although that sentence was just three words "I don't know".
"You don't know such a simple question, which proves that you are very stupid! Can you think about it carefully and then answer my question." Li Hao looked at the bearded man speechlessly.
You are a fool, don't you know how to find some excuses to say a few more words? With your appearance, even if I want to give you a chance to stand out, it will be a bit difficult.
"That's because you are stronger than him, you have more soldiers than him, and you have more power than him, so he is afraid of you."
The bearded man saw that Li Hao did not blame him for speaking, but encouraged him to continue speaking, and immediately said everything he thought in his heart.
"Yes, what's your name? You hit the nail on the head with this sentence." Li Hao did not hesitate to praise the bearded man. Among so many people, there must be many who understand this truth, but he was the only one who dared to say this boldly.
"You are right. You are afraid of them because they are stronger than you. And they are afraid of me because I am stronger than them and I have more power than them."
"So if you want to control your own destiny, let your descendants be superior to others, and have the opportunity to control the destiny of others, then what are you going to do?" Li Hao shouted loudly to the more than 20,000 soldiers below.
"We want to become strong, we want to be strong enough to make them afraid of us, so that they dare not bully us anymore." The bearded man seemed to have his Ren and Du meridians opened up suddenly, and his mind suddenly became bright. Following the rhythm of Li Hao's speech, he waved his hands and roared.
"Good, very good, you are a courageous person, I am optimistic about you. From today on, you will be a captain of a thousand men, and when you are able to manage ten thousand people, I will let you be a general. Let you become a general who can truly control the fate of others and control their life and death." Li Hao looked at the big bearded man and said to him loudly.
"Little Agou, swear to be loyal to the general until death." When the bearded Agou heard that Li Hao asked him to be a captain of a thousand men, his eyes immediately filled with tears. He knelt on the ground without any scruples and bowed to Li Hao, which was the highest etiquette for a slave to perform for his master.
"Get up. From now on, you are the first captain under me. Remember, you are not allowed to kneel to anyone except me and Her Majesty the Queen, even your former master." Li Hao said with a serious face and expressionless face.
As soon as Li Hao finished speaking, a soldier of the Royal Guard came out from behind. Holding a brand new armor of a captain and a steel knife with a cold glow, he walked in front of the bearded man and handed it to him.
"Swear allegiance to the general until death" When the soldiers in the audience saw that the bearded man was really awarded the position of captain by Li Hao, their hearts suddenly warmed up.
They seemed to see the day when they would be glorious and successful. The bearded man's today is their tomorrow.
"You are very good, and you still have the passion of a man. Listen to me, your army of 20,000 people,I will not assign any officers to you. I guarantee that the decapitation, centurion, thousand-man commander, and even generals in this army will be born from you. "
"And all you have to do is obey my orders and follow my command. Do whatever I tell you to do and kill whoever I tell you to kill. From today on, you are not managed by anyone but directly under the jurisdiction of the queen. Do you hear me? "Li Hao looked at the soldiers below the stage who shouted that they would swear allegiance to the general until death, and shouted loudly.
This scene was a bit passionate, and it made people's blood boil.
More than 20,000 soldiers shouted that they would swear allegiance to the general, which actually exceeded the etiquette. If Li Qingluo was not his woman, Li Hao would be impeached by others, and might even die.
As for whether he would be impeached, Li Hao didn't care. Even the queen was his, what else in this kingdom didn't belong to him?
Li Hao's method of buying people was very simple, nothing more than power, wealth, and the freedom they dreamed of.
These slaves were tired of being treated as animals and were eager to change their living conditions. Swearing allegiance to Li Hao until death and using the steel knife in their hands to win a brilliant tomorrow was their best choice now.
Put on new armor Armor, holding new weapons. These soldiers now have red eyes and murderous aura. It is estimated that as long as Li Hao gives an order, they will brandish their weapons and kill Li Hao's enemies without hesitation, including their former masters.
Li Hao really fulfilled his promise. Except for the bearded Agou, there was no officer among the more than 20,000 people. The temporary officers in the team were also respected people selected by themselves.
As for the bearded Agou, he has now been given the surname Li by Li Hao and changed his name to Li Hu.
And Li Hu is also the second person who has the honor to become a general of the Li family after Li Hei.
Li Hu didn't know at this time that he would change his life just by saying a few words. Even later, he became a person who made people on this land tremble with fear.
