In the early hours of the morning, the sun had not yet come out, but the earth was already illuminated by its refracted light.

In the 80,000-large military camp area, in a vacant space set aside, dressed in black, Wuyang Wuyang, more than 10,000 new soldiers, squatting there with their heads in their hands at this moment.

On a makeshift raised platform.

He was also dressed in black, but he still held the weapons of the previous day in his hands, and there were less than 20,000 new soldiers left, acting as spectators, standing on both sides.

All around, 50,000 royal forest troops, neatly draped, spears like a forest.

Cao Xing, who was holding a megaphone in his hand, under the protection of the tiger and leopard, went up to the high platform and looked at the new pawns squatting all over the ground.

Overnight, out of 30,000 new soldiers, more than 10,000 were deserters.

There are soldiers who arrest deserters, and the reason for controlling the sound of the scene is there, but so many people have fled, no matter how stupid they are, they can feel that something will happen, and I don't know how these people can still deceive themselves in this situation!

Cao Xuan looked at the past, many of the deserters holding their heads in their hands were trembling, and the air was filled with the stench of Yoneda Gong.

"Remember what military law is for dealing with deserters?"

Cao Xuan lifted the megaphone and asked lightly, Cao Xing's voice could be heard in the front row, and he was so frightened that he sat in a large area.

The words of Cao Xing, the general of the 50,000 Royal Forest Army, were re-read, and the audience had already begged for mercy.

"Spare me!"

"I was wrong!"

"I'm willing to go into battle to kill the enemy, give me a chance!"

……

Listening to the various sounds of begging for mercy, the smell in the air was much stronger.

Cao Xingrang's voice begging for mercy lasted for an hour, and more than 10,000 deserters in the audience shouted smoke in their mouths, but they still did not give up begging for mercy.

The megaphone was put to his mouth again: "Deserter, behead according to the law!" It's hard for me to do that! ”

"General! Spare me! As long as you spare my life, I am willing to do whatever I am asked to do! ”

The fat man who happened to be in front of him said loudly, and for a while, the people around him begged loudly for mercy:

"Let's do whatever we want!"

The corners of Cao Xing's mouth rose to the level of a smile: "I'm really willing to do anything!" ”

I didn't expect to really spare myself, the deserters saw hope, for fear that Cao Xing would regret it, and shouted again and again:

"Yes! Willing! ”

"Good! You have just joined the army and have not escaped from the camp! I can make a special case! I'll give you three ways to live! ”

What, three ways to live, not one!

The deserters suspected they had heard it wrong! Say yes again and again!

"One: Stay in Sili Prison for a lifetime!

Two: Twenty years in Jingzhou Prison!

Three: Five years in Jiaozhou Prison! ”

If you live in a prison, you naturally have to participate in labor reform, and as a soldier, you are still a military prison, and you have to go to the battlefield in times of crisis.

Between life and death, life imprisonment and fixed-term imprisonment, twenty years and five years, more than 10,000 deserters quickly made a decision.

Deserters, since ancient times, there have been no good results, when the sword and axe are added and they are about to die, they suddenly ushered in a new opportunity, or only five years of labor reform.

Let them be very grateful to Cao Xing.

The new pawns who watched the play all had a feeling of being ready to move.

5,000 men and horses were divided, and more than 10,000 deserters were escorted south to Jiaozhou.

The remaining army of nearly 60,000 continued northward.

In the Chinese army that separated Cao Xing from the soldiers.

"These new pawns, they can't think of it, they are not regular soldiers at all, they are not even soldiers, this is not a battlefield, the iron law that deserters must die, has nothing to do with them!"

Cao Xing rode on his jujube red horse, and the unscrupulous smile on his face never broke.

"But they'll be thanking me later! In Nichinan, after getting through the early pains, there will be concubines, fields, and servants, waiting for them!

From then on, they were no longer beggars! No longer a sharecropper who is the equivalent of a serf! It's the landlord! Plutocrat! ”

The so-called five years in Jiaozhou, of course, where life is difficult, where you need to go, Rinan is where they belong.

Jingzhou has been even worse in 20 years, Nanyang, the imperial township next to Sili, is also Jingzhou, and Zhenyang, south of Nanling, is also Jingzhou.

There are indeed two people who choose to go to Jingzhou for a lifetime, and they can be described as two people who are in the limelight, that is, the obese man who was born in the government service, and the young man who was fooled by him.

The obese man is very self-aware of his physical strength, afraid that he will die if he can't go to Jiaozhou, and he is worried that he will not have a companion.

The foolish boy said: You are only thirteen years old, and twenty years later, you will only be thirty-three, anyway, you are a beggar, twenty prison life, food and shelter, and you will be raised as an adult.

Choose Jingzhou, close to your hometown, you can still find a home after 20 years, maybe something happens, and you can take a vacation.

This choice made the two regret it for many years, and their intestines were repentant.

It's impossible to stay in Nanyang, so let's go to Lingnan Zhenyang and stay well!

Li Ru behind him, he couldn't cry or laugh, this plan can be said to be the most trouble-free immigration method, or the kind that makes people willing and hard to pay to atone for their sins, and in case of death or injury, there is no need to explain more.

Because in their hearts, in the hearts of their families, they are condemned to death!

"It's hard to leave your homeland! Otherwise, why go through so much trouble! ”

Cao Xuan shook his head: "Who said it wasn't!" ”

Sili is a typical person with more people and less land, and Ninan is just the opposite.

The army marched for another day, and during the night there were again more than 3,000 "deserters", of course, none of them escaped, and in the early morning of the second day, another examination and approval meeting was held, and more than 3,000 "deserters" once again became part of the development of the southern part of Japan.

The army was reduced again, but Cao Xing and his subordinates did not have the slightest intention of worrying about the enemy, and gathered together every day to discuss and discuss.

As a general, what I talk to the soldiers every day is also the content of the training, and the content of running in with each other.

And for the new soldiers who marched for two days, military training was strengthened.

During the march, they also had to train running, queues, weapons, etc., and vowed to force all the new soldiers to escape.

In the evening, of course, there were still deserters, and more than the day before.

Again, was caught.

For three days, it was simply the Royal Forest Army accompanying the new soldiers, playing hide-and-seek on the scale of tens of thousands of people, and there was no intention of fighting at all, as if they were not going to the front line to fight.

Hide and seek at night, march and train during the day, the speed of the march is naturally not fast, and after five days, it only traveled more than 100 miles to reach Xiaopingjin on the south bank of the Yellow River.

After revealing his identity, Xiao Pingjin fell into the hands of Cao Xing, and the five schools of the Northern Army stationed there were incorporated into the army.

After going east to absorb Mengjin, he finally met the "rebels".

Cao Xing took the lead, and the "rebel" side also rode out, and when the two were in front of each other, the "rebel" flew off his horse and dismounted: "The last general, Cai Yang, led the 12th battalion in the east of the river, came to meet the lord!" ”
