Outside the tent, Ma Hyun looked at the nearly a hundred people sitting below and said in a deep voice: "Our team has designated me as the team. Whenever someone in the team makes mistakes, I will be punished one after another. If someone is rewarded, I will naturally be rewarded too. Unfortunately, I didn't see the reward, and I have been punished in the past two days. This is not a solution. If I keep being punished, how can I get it?"

Liu Shu said loudly: "You are the team leader, just say whatever you want. We only ate half a meal these two days, and we all saw it."

The Liu family and the Ma family are both large families in Youzhou. The two families have been married for generations, and their relationship is beyond comparison. Ma Xuan nodded slightly to Liu Sheng and said in a deep voice: "The rules of the prison camp are that everyone here must do work every day. Only after doing enough can they have food to eat. If they do more, they have to send us wine and meat. In the past few days, everyone has been watching the fixed number, and no one has done more. In fact, the Song Dynasty knew that there are many elderly people here, and they are rich and wealthy, so they can't do more work, so the fixed amount is not large. Those who are strong can do more work and ask for some wine and meat."

Yelu Heshu said below: "We are prisoners of war in Song Dynasty. We only need three meals a day to fill up, so why ask for more! Working here is a last resort. Do you still think it is a serious matter? Just earn enough three meals a day, so why do you need to do more!"

Ma Xuan sighed: "Actually, I want to do more, but I am not in good health. I really can't do it. Alas, you have also seen that once the emperor does not work, I will be punished. How can I withstand this? My team is rewarding and punishing. The emperor does not work. If anyone of you does more, and the reward can make up for the punishment, I will not be hungry every day, so it will be great."

Yelu Chage said: "Ma Xuan, do you mean that you are dissatisfied with the emperor?"

Ma Hyun said: "How dare I? It's just that I can't eat enough every day. It's really not a solution. It's best for everyone to work together."

Yelu Heshu said: "No need to say it! You are the team leader designated by the Song people, and we are not selected by us. If you are rewarded and punished, what does it have to do with others!"

Seeing that the others didn't say anything, Ma Xuan said, "Anyway, are you not helping me? I am the team leader, and I will assign anyone to do what work every day. If so, I will say first, and don't blame me later."

Yelu Chage suddenly stood up and said sternly: "Ma Xuan, your team was conferred by the Song people, so take it seriously? The Lord of the Lord is here, so naturally everything is decided by the Lord of the Lord! According to what you said, wouldn't you rebel!"

Ma Xuan looked at Yelu Chage, and after a while, he said lightly: "King, the emperor doesn't do work, no matter these things. How do we do work every day, there must be someone to take care of it, right? I was designated as the team leader, so I had to force myself to take care of it."

Yelu Chage looked at everyone and pointed at Ma Xuan and said, "Listen, listen, what he said! The Lord is kind, and can he be righteous as a natural person? I said here. If Ma Xuan has any trouble with everyone in the future, the Lord will deal with it!"

After saying that, he looked back at Yelu Hongji.

Yelu Hongji stood up and looked at Ma Xuan and said, "What do you mean is that I want me to do my job? I am the lord of a country, and I am here to be a slave?"

Ma Xuan said: "How dare I do this? But people are iron and food is steel. I cannot stop eating. Your Majesty doesn't do it, so others should help you. The Song people have rewards and punishments. Since Your Majesty doesn't do it, there should be others who do it more and rewards."

Yelu Hongji said angrily: "I haven't finished my grain of rice for two days and haven't said anything yet. How dare you say you're hungry!"

Ma Xuan was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything. For a moment, the atmosphere was a little stiff.

Seeing that few people helped him, Ma Xuan sighed secretly and told him to let it go today. He understood in his heart that the Song people appointed this team, and whoever became the leader would be unlucky. These Khitans were holding their breath and refused to do a good job. Anyway, the team was appointed by the Song people, so they were happy if they were unlucky.

After the people dispersed, Sun Peng came over and said to Ma Xuan: "I heard that you are recruiting people to discuss matters today. The Grand Marshal came over and I will give you a special opinion."

Ma Xuan looked depressed and shook her head and said, "The people have dispersed. General, my team is in charge. If you continue working, I am afraid I will starve to death."

Sun Peng said: "The Grand Marshal is still here, you go over and report on what happened today."

Ma Xuan felt strange when she heard that Du Zhongxiao was still here. With Sun Peng, she went to the living room on one side. When she entered the living room, she saw Du Zhongxiao sitting there alone, her eyes slightly closed. The cup of tea on the table on one side seemed to have not moved.

After coming forward to salute, Du Zhongxiao opened his eyes and looked at Ma Xuan. He said, "I heard that Yelu Hongji refused to do work these two days, and you were also punished. Tonight, everyone will discuss the matter, what will happen?"

Ma Xuan bowed and said, "Return to the Grand Marshal, my status is not expensive, so where can anyone listen to my words?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "In the prison camp, the Khitan identity used to be useless. You are now the team leader, in charge of the chores of a hundred people. Every day, they have to be assigned to do their jobs. You have the final say for who is together and who is separated. Why is no one listening?"

Ma Xuan said: "The Grand Marshal is joking. In my team, there are former emperors, former kings, and various princes. Who will listen to what I say? So what about the team? What do I say? As long as one of them says something, it will be considered as nothing."

Du Zhongxiao said: "I'm here today to listen to how you discuss matters. Another thing is to tell you that the identity designated by the court in the prison camp is the matter. You are the commander of the team. Every day, you can tell everyone that if you don't listen, you can report it to General Sun, and there will be any disposal."

Ma Xuan was silent for a while before bowing, "Taiwei, please spare me. I am a prisoner of war, and after all, a Khitan minister. How can I not listen to the previous emperor? This is disloyal. Who would be disloyal to look down on me?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "But you are also a Han Chinese. How many people look down on you as a Khitan minister?"

Ma Xuan had nothing to say for a moment. After a while, he said, "That was the past. Youzhou was stolen to the Khitan, and it was not that we sold our country and seeking honor. Now Youzhou has returned to the Central Plains, so of course everything will be calculated again."

Du Zhongxiao looked at Ma Xuan and said slowly: "It's good that you know that Youzhou has returned to the Central Plains. Now you don't do the team affairs, it's just because the Khitan is still there, and you're still thinking that you may not be able to return there one day. I tell you, it's impossible."

Ma Xuan said: "Even if the Khitan power is defeated for a while, there will be a time to make a comeback."

Du Zhongxiao said, "Get up again? I won't give the Khitans that chance. The court has surrounded Fengshengzhou and is gathering troops and is about to attack Zhongjing Road. After Zhongjing Road, how many places are left in the Khitan? Needless to say, the court does not occupy it, and the Jurchens will rebel themselves. Once the Shangjing Road has no Zhongjing Road, will those foreigners obey? The Khitans will not have the chance to get up again."

Ma Xuan looked at Du Zhongxiao and said, "The Grand Marshal came to tell me these things. What does it mean?"
