The right is the camp of Dong Jun in Yong County

The last rays of light on the horizon finally disappeared, and the silence of night completely covered the sky over the barracks. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Torches lit with sparks dotted the watchtowers on all sides of the barracks.

Around the warm campfires in front of the tents, groups of soldiers in unbroken armor sat in Shiwu units. They are telling meat jokes with relish, or lying on the lawn and pretending to sleep, or putting their hands in their armor to catch lice, and even boasting about how bravely they killed the enemy on the battlefield······

At this time, a group of soldiers and horses under the banner of "Dong" drove into the barracks, and under the evening breeze blowing with the army marching into the barracks, the torches in the camp flickered and dimmed, and the erected military flags rolled and fluttered, scattering the smoke rising in the barracks.

Outside the camp of Dong Jun, there is also a unique camp, compared with the other camps around, this camp has neither a staggered bonfire, nor an orderly tent, only a few tiny fires barely maintain the lighting at night, and there can be temporarily erected and scattered sheds and tents everywhere, and the camp occasionally wafts with a smell of blood and foul smell wafted in the wind.

The outside of the camp is built on all sides, upstairs and downstairs are heavily guarded, holding bows and knives of Dong soldiers, outside the camp from time to time there are open fire to patrol by, to this unique camp to cast a vigilant gaze.

This is a prisoner camp built by Dong Jun in Yongxian. Since the Liangzhou rebels were pursued and defeated by Huangfu Song on the way to retreat, Dong soldiers took advantage of the prestige of the great victory to chase the north all the way, and marched forward with great songs, and successively took Yulu, Wangxian and other places. Not only did he regain the lost territory of Sansuke, but he also captured a large number of rebels.

In the treatment of these captives, Dong Jun did not directly cut off their heads as usual, but took the opportunity to escort them back to the Yongxian camp on the front line. As a result, this makeshift prisoner camp was often overcrowded from the very beginning.

At this time, in a shed in the prisoner camp.

Ma Lin, Gan Ling, and Yan Xing were sitting under a shed with air leaking on all sides, chatting weakly.

"Xiaoxing, the injury on your leg is relatively serious, you should eat the half of the wheat cake that you finally snatched first!"

Although Gan Ling was also starved and thin, he still insisted on giving up the half of the wheat cake he had snatched to Yan Xing, who was injured in the thigh. Yan Xing was a little younger, and he was injured on his body, so he postponed it for a while and took it, but he saw that the people around him were eating clear porridge and water, and he was a little reluctant to go, and after taking a bite of the wheat cake, he chewed back and forth in his astringent mouth a few times before swallowing it with difficulty.

"These damn things, use these rancid water all day long to deal with Naigong, do you really want to starve these living men to death here!"

Ma Lin was so hungry that his eyes were black, and his mouth was bitter and complaining, he wanted to scold the Dong soldiers outside like he had done a few times before, but he really couldn't shout with an empty stomach, and whining had consumed the little energy he had left.

Since he was captured in this prisoner camp, he has not eaten a good meal for a day, and every day Sergeant Dong brings some porridge and water to deal with these former rebel soldiers, and starves a good stout black man into a weak sick man.

Gan Ling's mouth was deflated, and he didn't have the heart to joke with Ma Lin now. They were intercepted by the Han cavalry on the edge of the river that day, and although they tried desperately to fight their way out, they were outnumbered and failed to repel the enemy.

In addition, after the defeat, the people were panicked, although he helped Yan Xing escape, but he was caught in a heavy siege, they were surrounded and suppressed by the Han army, they soon could not support it, collapsed and scattered, fortunately, the generals of the Han army did not kill them all, but forced them to abandon their weapons and surrender after defeating them, and then captured them to the prisoner camp here.

However, although they were lucky not to be killed, how much better could the situation of the captured be. The original song of people and horses, countless hot-blooded men from Liangzhou, after a bloody battle, only their less than fifty captives remained. Forced to disarm, they came to this stained and chaotic prisoner camp, like a tiger falling into Pingyang, and their future was bleak, and they had to die of hunger, cold, and pain every day.

In the past, the comrades who belonged to the Liangzhou coalition army also instantly became enemies who fought against each other in an instant, and every day in order to fight for a little food to survive, there were people who fought and even attacked despicably. And the guards of Sergeant Dong also seem to be happy to see such a thing, how much food is distributed to everyone every day, but it is not enough to maintain one person's food and clothing.

As a result, under this malicious manipulation, people died every day in the camp, and in order to protect themselves and grab food, the coalition captives who were originally from the same origin fell apart and became dozens of gangs, large and small, with daily fissures between each group and killing each other.

For example, the half of the wheat cake in Yan Xing's hand was snatched from a group of captives with only a dozen people, and at that time, the wheat cake had already been bitten half by their leader, and it was Ma Lin who stepped forward and beat the other party to half death with an old fist, so he took this small half of the bloody wheat cake from his mouth. And their own food will also be plundered by a large number of other captives, so everyone must be careful every night to prevent being attacked by other captive enemies, tonight is the pair of Gan Ling and Ma Lin are keeping vigil.

Gan Ling looked at the starry night sky and sighed, he weakly raised a finger and pointed to a faintly shining star in the sky and said:

"I heard Shaojun say that this one is the Seven Killing Stars, which belong to the gas of fire and gold, and it is the star of the general, and the emperor is the right. Xingyao is resolute, symbolizing 'mighty', and turning qi into 'general star', then the lord is 'slaughtering'. The husband has the ability to strategize and has the ability to be fierce and difficult. Life is good or bad, success or failure is hard to judge! ”

Ma Lin and Yan Xing listened to the clouds, Yan Xing was a little better, and after listening, he was thoughtful. And Ma Lin simply swallowed a mouthful of water, opened his mouth slightly as if he wanted to imagine the star as a chicken egg to swallow in his mouth, maybe he felt that it was more difficult, and Ma Lin, whose mouth was a little sour, closed his mouth again, and followed Gan Ling's words and said:

"I don't know how Shaojun is now?"

When Yan Xing heard Ma Lin's words, his body moved and said worriedly:

"Yes, I don't know if my brother has returned to Liangzhou safe and sound?"
