Chapter VI Prisoner Policy
Wei Lin is a native of Shanyang, and his uncle belonged to the Shanyang Taishou Yuan Army, as an ordinary infantryman, Wei Lin often heard General Chen, who led the team, say that Dong Zhuo is a demon who eats people and does not spit out bones, and eats the brains of ten living people for breakfast, eats the hearts and livers of eight living people for lunch, and drinks the blood of nine living people for dinner, as for what Dong Zhuo wants to eat for supper, no one knows - because the people he sees have been eaten by Dong Zhuo. When Dong Zhuojun grabbed the captive, he had to peel off the captive's skin alive to make a drum, dismantle the bones and burn them as firewood, chop the meat and make dumplings, and it was not as pleasant to be Dong Zhuojun's captive as to commit suicide. So after the unfortunate defeat of the coalition just now, Wei Lin ran desperately, risking his life, but how could he, an infantryman, outrun the speeding Xiliang Iron Cavalry? Wei Lin only remembered that he was slashed in the shoulder by the Xiliang cavalry in the chaos, Wei Lin fainted on the spot, and when he woke up, Wei Lin was already in the prisoner of war camp.
Fortunately, Wei Lin found that his uncle was not dead, but he was also captured, and the uncle and nephew in the prisoner of war camp hugged their heads and cried, and they all understood that the catastrophe was coming. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the old and frail uncle to be taken aside to dig his own grave, while the strong Wei Lin was temporarily left with a life, but Wei Lin knew that it might be better to be buried alive with his uncle, and living did not mean that he was lucky, and in the future, what awaited Wei Lin was a slave life that was inferior to that of pigs and dogs. Or, as General Chen said, it will become a delicacy on Dong Zhuo's table.
Dong Zhuo really looks so terrifying, six feet tall, but his waist circumference is at least seven feet, his body is deformed like a meat ball, his face bigger than a dustpan has a messy beard, his two eyes are as big as copper bells, the most terrifying thing is the smile on Dong Zhuo's face, it is simply that only the demon king of hell can have such a smile, Dong Zhuo looked at the captive's gaze, just like a poisonous snake looking at a frog, ready to eat at any time! (Kang Peng: "Woo...... I want to comfort them and reassure them, woo ......, not to scare them .......) It's all to blame on the damn author, who wrote me so ugly! βοΌ
As soon as Dong Zhuo came, he ordered the prisoners who were digging the pit to be brought to him, Wei Lin's first reaction was that it was over, the demon king Dong Zhuo was going to pick someone to eat! God forbid, I heard that ghosts that have been eaten by others can never be reincarnated, and the demon king Dong Zhuo must not take a fancy to my uncle. But then he almost didn't get out of Wei Lin's urine, and the demon king Dong Zhuo actually took all the captives in front of him! Oh my God, Demon King Dong Zhuo shouldn't want to eat me, right?
"Uncle, did you say that the Demon King Dong Zhuo is going to pick someone to eat?" Taking advantage of the chaos in the queue, Wei Lin quietly rushed to his uncle's side and said to his uncle. His uncle's reaction was not much better than Wei Lin's, and he stammered and replied: "Xiao Lin, Lin Zi, don't, don't be afraid, if the demon king picks us out, I, we will bite our tongues, I heard and said that the person who has been eaten can't go to hell and can be reincarnated, we will never, absolutely not let him eat it." β
"Don't talk to each other!" A Dong Zhuojun soldier forcibly separated Wei Lin's uncle and nephew with a knife, "Hurry up and line up, the prime minister wants to give a lecture!" β
Soon, more than 5,000 captives stood up, and the Demon King Dong Zhuo climbed up the temporary high platform with difficulty, and after gasping for a while, the Demon King Dong Zhuo said in his gong-like voice: "Everyone, ......, captured soldiers, hello. β
More than 5,000 captives were silent, and they all looked at the demon king Dong Zhuo in fear, for fear that saying the wrong word would make the demon king Dong Zhuo unhappy, so they were pulled down and cooked. Demon King Dong Zhuo was obviously very dissatisfied with the reaction of the captives, and pouted his lips in dissatisfaction, which made his already terrifying face even more hideous, and frightened many timid captives to pee their pants on the spot.
"Introduce myself, I am Dong Zhuo, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty." Demon King Dong Zhuo pointed at himself with his rolling pin-thick fingers and said, "I have something to ask you, do you want to go home?" β
It was still quiet, and although most of the captives answered 'yes' in their hearts, no one dared to say it. Demon King Dong Zhuo was a little impatient, and his thick and short fingers casually pointed at a captive, "You, come out." "Unfortunately, the person who was targeted by the Demon King Dong Zhuo was Wei Lin, who was afraid of the Demon King Dong Zhuo to death.
Wei Lin peed his pants on the spot, and wanted to bite his tongue to commit suicide, but his teeth kept chattering, and he didn't have the strength to bite his tongue. As a result, Wei Lin was dragged in front of the demon king Dong Zhuo by two Dong Zhuojun soldiers, leaving an obvious water trail on the road Wei Lin passed.
"Prime Minister, spare him!" Suddenly, an old captive rushed out and wanted to rush to the demon king Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo's soldiers hurriedly held him down. The old captive was Wei Lin's book, and he cried while struggling: "Prime Minister, spare him, if you want to eat it, eat my old bones, he is my brother's only seedling!" β
No one expected that the Demon King Dong Zhuo would be merciful, "Let him come over and talk." β
Wei Lin's uncle crawled to the demon king Dong Zhuo and knelt down, kowtowing like pecking rice, "Prime Minister, my family is the only seedling of him, please do well, you eat me, don't eat him." β
Who knew that the demon king Dong Zhuo's face was full of surprise, and he turned around and asked a civil official who followed him, "Has the original appearance ever eaten someone?" β
The civil official with the thief's eyebrows and rat-eyed eyes hurriedly yelled at Wei Lin's uncle: "Nonsense! The prime minister is merciful, when did he do that kind of thing that lost his conscience? Come on, behead this fanatic who slanders the prime minister! β
"Slow!" Demon King Dong Zhuo unexpectedly stopped the soldiers who were about to pull Uncle Wei Lin, and said to Uncle Wei Lin, who was kind and pleasant: "Old man, I just want to ask your nephew two words, and I will let you go home after asking your face." However, it doesn't matter if he doesn't want to answer, he won't blame him. β
Wei Lin's uncle began to think that he had misheard, but it suddenly dawned on him that the Demon King Dong Zhuo was going to ask for information about the coalition forces, maybe the answer was good, and the Demon King Dong Zhuo really let his nephew go home. Wei Lin's uncle hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Yes, my nephew must be willing." β
"We're willing to do it too." The captive procession suddenly became like a boiling pot, and everyone shouted as they scrambled to be the first. There were even many people who wanted to rush forward, for fear that others would take the lead, and Dong Zhuo finally suppressed them.
The Demon King Dong Zhuo was not angry, and smiled (at this time, Boss Dong's smile was finally cuteβat least in the hearts of the captives) and asked, "The original picture began to ask you, do you want to go home?" β
This time, no one hesitated, and replied in unison: "Yes!" Even the timid Wei Lin shouted like this, and he shouted very loudly.
Demon King Dong Zhuo nodded with satisfaction, and asked again: "Since you all want to go home, why do you want to be a soldier?" Demon King Dong Zhuo pointed at Wei Lin, "You, you say it first." β
Wei Lin was also a little more bold at this time, and muttered a reply: "My uncle and I don't want to be soldiers, but our family has no land, and if we don't become soldiers, we will starve to death." β
"You never had land at home? Or was there originally, but then it wasn't? Demon King Dong Zhuo asked.
"I heard my dead grandfather say that my family originally had two acres of land, but then I don't know why it didn't have it." Wei Lin replied in a low voice. His uncle added for him: "It was taken away by Chen Dashan's family in our village, and my grandfather was sick and borrowed 600 yuan from Chen Dashan's family, and if he couldn't pay it back, Chen Dashan's family took my family's land to pay off the debt." β
Demon King Dong Zhuo shook his head, noncommittal, and casually pointed to a captive, "What about you?" β
The captive was fifteen years old at most, and he was still a child. The child wiped away his tears and replied: "I don't want to be a soldier at all, I used to herd cattle for the Li family in our village, and later Taishou wanted to recruit soldiers to fight ...... and ......." The little kid looked at the demon king Dong Zhuo timidly, and didn't dare to say any more.
"If it's inconvenient to say, don't say it, I know it's here to beat me." Demon King Dong Zhuo was very kind and encouraged the child: "Say something else." β
"Li Dahu sent me to Taishou and asked me to serve as a soldier for his family. Woo......" The child cried again, "I miss home, I miss my father, I miss my mother...... ......" As soon as the child began to cry, many children of his age also cried, and after a while the captives became one cry.
"I don't want to be a soldier either, I was pulled by someone who was too guarded to be a soldier......"
"My family owes the village landlord's Hades account, and it was sold to pay off the debt......"
One captive after another spoke their hearts, most of them had no land to serve as soldiers, or were captured as soldiers, or sold to barracks, in short, none of them were willing.
"Quiet, quiet." Demon King Dong Zhuo waved his hand to stop everyone's crying. Although the demon king Dong Zhuo was far from being as terrifying as the legend, everyone was still afraid of him to the core, and the captives quickly quieted down again.
"I've heard what you're saying, you don't want to be a soldier, you don't want to die on the battlefield, but there's no way, you want to eat, you don't want to starve to death, so there's only one way to be a soldier. But have you ever thought about it, if you are old and have children, do you still have to rely on being a soldier to eat? Not only did the prisoner speechless when the Demon King Dong Zhuo asked, but the soldiers of Dong Zhuo's army also pricked up their ears and looked at the Demon King Dong Zhuo with full attention.
"When the day comes, you still have to farm and dig food from the soil, but what if you don't have land?" Demon King Dong Zhuo said this, staring at everyone and watching everyone's reactions.
"I don't know." A daring captive replied.
Demon King Dong Zhuo smiled, "I know my true appearance!" The prime minister has already ordered that all soldiers of our army can get five acres of fertile land after being discharged from the army to relieve their worries. β
"Prime Minister, can I be your soldier?" The daring captive asked hurriedly.
Demon King Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, "Of course you can." Demon King Dong Zhuo waved his hand, and soon someone brought a set of relatively good clothes and some food to the bold captive.
The captives exploded again, and many of the captives shouted: "I want to be the prime minister's soldier too!" "I also want to be the prime minister's soldier!" But only a small number of captives, most of them are still waiting and hesitating, all because of the past reputation of the demon king Dong Zhuo.
"The Prime Minister does not force you to be the soldiers of the True Appearance." Demon King Dong Zhuo said to the remaining captives: "If you are willing to go home, Benxiang will give you one or two silver for travel expenses and dry food, and you are willing to go back to your original Taishou army to continue to be a soldier to fight Benxiang, Benxiang will also let you go, but the weapons must be left." β
The captives thought that they had misheard it again, the demon king Dong Zhuo not only did not kill anyone, but also gave him dry food for the passage to go home, or to return to the original army, could it be that the demon king Dong Zhuo deceived himself? If you say yes, you'll cut off your head?
In the end, Wei Lin plucked up the courage and said, "Prime Minister, I want to go home." β
Demon King Dong Zhuo waved his hand, "Give him a tael of silver and dry food, and let him go home." β
If Wei Lin hadn't pinched his thighs a few times in a row, he would have thought that he was dreaming, but pinching his thighs hurt, and he was still holding one or two pieces of silver and a few white-flour steamed buns from Dong Zhuojun in his hand, all of which showed that he was not dreaming. "Prime Minister......" Wei Lin knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, crying but couldn't say anything.
At this time, the shouts sounded again in the Tiger Prison Pass, "Long live the prime minister!" "Long live the Prime Minister!" "Long live the Prime Minister!" Shouting so sincerely, so from the heart.
β¦β¦
Kang Peng wiped his sweat, he was really tired of saying so many words, and he blamed Boss Dong's reputation for being too stinky! If the commander who changed the book did this, he would not need to waste so much effort at all, and at least seventy percent of the prisoners would have to stay, unlike less than thirty percent now.
The officials who followed Boss Dong were all talking to each other, raising their heads from time to time to look at Boss Dong's back in surprise, some thought that Boss Dong was buying people's hearts, some thought that Boss Dong was compassionate, and some thought that Boss Dong was hypocritical, and there were different opinions. But there is one thing that everyone agrees on - Boss Dong has either changed his sex or is dizzy today.
