Prisoners of war, who had never eaten a late-night snack, had eaten a sumptuous meal that they had never eaten before, and could not believe that they were now prisoners.

After a supper, the captives burst out with infinite enthusiasm for work, and they cut down the big trees one by one, and then dragged them to be processed, removing branches and leaves, etc.

By daybreak, the west bank of the river had cleared a large area of open space, and Chen Zheng, who was in charge of the construction, had already begun to direct the digging of a ditch and the construction of a wooden wall, and a wooden city to be used to hold them would be built under the labor of the captives themselves.

The captives ate three sumptuous meals, and not long after the third lunch was over, there was again a reaction of people moving around in the dense forest.

Ten thousand birds frightened the forest, hovering in the sky and not daring to fall, in the dense forest, nearly 10,000 people were walking through, the sound of the local language of Funan, and the cry of children, heralded the arrival of another group of captives.

The one-color holy icon, the Chu military flag, and the one-color eight-banner military uniform, told the people who greeted them that they were the identities of Wei Yan's department.

On a temporary viewing platform, Cao Xing sighed: "Thousands of captives again, a bumper harvest, a bumper harvest!" ”

When Cao Xing and the civil and military forces were moved, they talked a lot, and when they talked about the rise, they just wanted to call Wei Yan to come over, but when they asked, they knew that this guy came back in a hurry, and led the army into the forest in a hurry.

At dusk, Lü Bu also returned, escorting thousands of prisoners, but Wei Yan did not appear again.

On a hill in the northeast of Yuecheng, a dense primeval forest, where a small tree is scarce, the sun can finally shine through the branches and leaves.

Under the sunlight, there are thatched houses, wooden houses, and bamboo houses, which are said to be houses, but they are just shanties with rain-leaking roofs on all sides.

Red, white and blue, the big flag embroidered with the holy icon-Chu character is hanging down, and it needs to be waved by the flag bearer to unfold, indicating that even the wind cannot blow in here.

Groups of eight banner soldiers began to tie up their prisoners of war, men and women were in the ranks of the bundle, the old ones were not bundled, but they would generally follow by themselves, there was no support from the young offspring, and the food stocks were all searched, and if they didn't follow, the old people didn't even have the possibility of survival.

The little ones do not need to be tied, but their parents take them by the hand.

Gao Tsai escorted such a group of captives, and now he has put on leather armor, and at the same time changed into the service of the captain, it seems that he has been promoted.

Although he was only a military chief, the chiefs, Dubo, and even the tun chiefs on the side were very flattering to him, and even when a military marquis passed by, they did not forget to greet him, the military chief.

This kind of treatment that surpasses ordinary people and surpasses the tun chief makes Gao Zai, who is only the chief of the army, feel extremely honored, and he is secretly glad that he chose a fair distribution in the first place.

Now that the official has arrived, he has gained a very high reputation, and his colleagues have taken the initiative to exchange the land for money with him and Ah Hu, who is good friends with him, and often at extremely favorable prices, it is simply half sold and half given.

The 100 acres of land are in hand, and it is said that the main general Wei Yan is also very fond of himself, but Wei Yan is the temporary chief general of the military marquis, and he has no right to form a personal guard battalion.

The more Gao Zai thought about it, the happier he felt, and he was in a good mood when he looked at the Funan captives in front of him, and persuaded him in the same Funan dialect.

"It's really your honor to be able to join our Chu army, not to mention changing from two meals to three meals a day, and you are also full, eating meat and sea fish until you are tired, although the way to join is a little unhappy, but in the face of such preferential treatment......"

Gao Tsai proudly used Funan language to enlighten his compatriots, from the words and expressions are sincere, such enlightenment has been for several hours, in addition to eating and drinking, basically just this is the work.

I also sent a sentence when I turned around:

"You'll know how happy you are in the future!"

The same is true for Ah Hu, but Ah Hu doesn't have such good patience.

Gao Zai, Ah Hu and other former Funan people are like this, and this is also their task in the near future, and there are not a few people who are as enthusiastic as Gao Zai.

For all this, Wei Yan just watched silently.

The adjutant general Buyun came out: "The general really has a set, under the persuasion of the flag soldiers of the same clan, the mood of these prisoners is really much better, and there was no escape last night." ”

Buyun's words of praise made Wei Yan hear a different taste.

"Oh? So speaking of which, there are still escapes? ”

Bu Yun nodded a little embarrassedly, and then explained:

"You know, our promises, the enlightenment of the bannermen, are only useful to the suffering like the native barbarians, and ...... to those who are at the top and high-level."

Wei Yan stood up, his expression full of anger:

"If the monkey is disobedient, then kill some **!"

"But ......"

"But what? Do those who are pampered useful? We want someone who listens to him and can work. ”

"No!"

Bu Yun left to deal with the captives he had captured yesterday, and Wei Yan was relaxed, as if it was a trivial matter.

Not long after the people left, the gong of the alarm was already sounding.

"Dangdang~"

"Report to the general! There are ambushes! There are ambushes! ”

The herald shouted as he walked, and there was already a faint sound of shouting and killing behind him, Wei Yan snorted coldly and lifted the long knife next to him:

"A battalion assembles! Let me kill these death-seekers! ”

The army led by Wei Yan is the Eight Banners and Two Red Banners of the Holy Elephant, about 3,000 people, Wei Yan is only a military marquis, and there is no personal guard, but as the main general, it is not possible to have personal guards, so it is filled by a mixed battalion.

A battalion of 500 soldiers set off with Wei Yan and went to the source of shouting and killing.

"Assemble and fight back! Assemble to fight back! ”

The first battalion conveyed Wei Yan's order as he walked, and Wei Yan just looked ahead coldly.

Wei Yan's addition made the scene much calmer, and when he arrived at the battlefield, Wei Yan jumped on a big rock and finally saw the general situation clearly.

In the north of the camp, a group of Funan natives are swarming to attack the camp, and the Eight Banners are scuffling together, overall, the other party is a lot of people, and there are dense forests to block the view, I can't see how much, according to Wei Yan's guess, it should be no less than five thousand.

Sometimes a lot of people don't necessarily win, but that's the case right now, the two sides are fighting, and there is no formation, but on the one hand, it is difficult to have iron primitive weapons made of stone and bone, and there is no armor at all.

On one side is the standard iron soldier, and the advantages and disadvantages are immediately superior.

"Hah! Funny! Kill me! ”

In this case, Wei Yan didn't plan to use any tactics, and leading the most elite battalion to rush forward was the best tactic.

The dense forest was overgrown with trees and shrubs, and it was impossible to form a formation, and personal martial arts became particularly important, and Wei Yan soon discovered one of the most active warriors of the natives.

Five short figures, muscular, one hand iron axe and the other hand like a giant kitchen knife rough machete, all the way to the flag soldiers, looks so imposing.
