Today's Yan Xu is no longer the appearance of the thousand commanders of the Jin Ya Army a month ago, if anyone who is familiar with him sees him, they will not believe that this man with a stubble on his face is the former commander who led the thousand armies.

The one-and-a-half-month captive days have exhausted the vigor of this man who used to be straight-minded, not only physical fatigue, but also spiritual torment.

In order to settle the population of Yanzhou City, after defeating the Yan army, Zhao Xun moved the western camp to Gushan Fort in the west of Daocheng, and placed one part of the displaced people and the other part of the prisoners. Now the displaced people have made their homes everywhere, and there are only 3,000 captives and guards in the entire western camp. For more than a month, these captives were not raised for nothing, and they were driven every day to repair the walls and build houses for the people.

"Lord Yan Xu, are we going to go on like this? In this way, there are not many brothers left, and they are tired and tired every day, and they are not allowed to eat. Alas...... You've got to think of an idea! One said bitterly.

"What's the idea? Zilha, what the hell are you trying to say? We're surrounded by the Fire Lin Army, what can you do to get your adults? Revolt? That's death. Another scolded.

"By the way, didn't the Lord say last time that Yan Jun was going to recruit us?" What the previous man said, the rest of the people also looked at Yan Xu, waiting for his answer.

"What, you want to take refuge in Yan Jun? Don't forget, tens of thousands of our brothers were killed by the Yan army, how can you think that? Alas...... I don't know what's going on at home? ”

"How? We were captured, what do you say? If you could go back, I'm afraid your child would have called someone else's father a long time ago. One sneered.

"Yang Wan, what did you say? You're looking for death! The man from before suddenly became angry and pounced on him to fight the other man.

"Enough!" Yan Xu looked at the chaotic crowd in the tent and scolded angrily. Some of these people are loyal to the Tatama and refuse to take refuge. Some people don't have a lot of control over the tribe and are willing to take refuge in the Yan army, and for a while, Yan Xu is also difficult to decide, whether this is defeat and surrender, but real surrender and annexation.

At this time, a team of Yan soldiers outside the tent opened the big tent, glanced at a few people with disdain, and said coldly: "Yan Xu, come with us!" Adults want to see you! ”

The former West Camp Chinese Army Tent.

"Yan Xu!" Zhao Xun looked at the strong man who had lost a lot of weight, and chuckled: "How about it, what I said that day, how did you think about it?" ”

Yan Xu looked at the young man in front of him complicatedly, and it was difficult to describe the mood in his heart at this time. This young man was only eighteen or nineteen years old, and he led the army to defeat more than 30,000 Yan Ya army, and in the next few days, he defeated the Yan Ya army that occupied the three counties of Yanzhou Prefecture. Of the 50,000 Jin army, except for nearly 10,000 who withdrew to Baixian, the rest were all destroyed.

"I don't understand what Lord Zhao means?" After a while, Yan Xu said lightly.

Zhao Xun sat on the chair, leaned forward slightly, looked at Yan Xu, and chuckled: "Don't understand? It seems that the time has come for the three thousand captives to be executed. ”

When Yan Xu heard this, his breathing suddenly became short, and he said in a loud voice: "How can Commander Zhao be untrustworthy, you said a month ago that as long as I stabilize the feelings of the captives and let them cooperate with you to do things, you will surround them from dying." How can you go back on your word now? ”

Zhao Xun sneered: "Backtracking? Yan Xu, you don't think that without you, I can't cure those 3,000 captives, right? Without them, my Yanzhou City will still be repaired, and without you, they will still kneel in front of me obediently. The 50,000 Yan army, less than a month after entering Yanzhou Mansion, caused more than 100,000 victims to be killed in Yanzhou Mansion, and as many as 50,000 people were killed. For people like you, do I need to be trustworthy and honorable for my promises? ”

Yan Xu was speechless, and for a long time, he stared at Zhao Xun and said, "Then what does Commander Zhao want us to do?" ”

Zhao Xun said word by word: "Surrender to me and fight for me!" ”

"Impossible!" Yan Xu refused.

Zhao Xun looked at Yan Xu and said, "Yes, I saw the struggle in your eyes." I think that even if I let you go, you will not have a way out, maybe you will be chopped into meat by the villagers who hate you to the bone before you get out of Yanzhou City. Well, if you can return to the Lords, what will you face? I think I'm just going to be a slave. Fight for me, and I will give you rewards and positions, even glory. ”

Yan Xu said in a deep voice: "You let us attack the Yan Army? ”

Zhao Xun sneered: "Now except for the Yan Army, who can I attack?" ”

Yan Xu was silent, Yanzhou Mansion was surrounded by the Yan Ya army on three sides, and there was really no enemy except for the Yan army.

"I don't want to wait, give me the answer now, I will live if I agree, otherwise, I will take these three thousand prisoners of the army to sacrifice the flag!" Zhao Xun gave an ultimatum.

Yan Xu saw the blood-red long knife in Zhao Xun's eyes, and knew that Zhao Xun was really here this time. As Zhao Xun said, now they have no way out, even if they return to the Ministry, it will be the end of the death slave camp. Instead of becoming a slave, it is better to take refuge in a new master and work hard from scratch. It's just that once he does this, he has no way to retreat completely, and he can only follow Zhao Xun all the way to the black, and he has become the target of spitting and killing by the Ya tribes.

Zhao Xun looked at Yan Xu who was deep in thought, and said again: "Among the captives, you are not the only one who is willing to change your flag!" ”

Yan Xu said in a deep voice: "I am willing to take refuge in adults, but I also hope that adults will give me the treatment I deserve." ”

Zhao Xun laughed and said, "Okay! As long as you have merit, I will give you the treatment you deserve. You go down and deliver the news to those captives, you don't have to work today, tomorrow the camp will officially change the flag. ”

After a while, Yan Xu bowed and saluted, and said, "Yan Xu takes the order!" ”

"By the way, don't force them, let them choose freely!" Zhao Xun said lightly, Yan Xu heard this, his figure was stunned, and then he left slowly.

After Yan Xu left, Han Meng said, "My lord, can these people believe it?" ”

Zhao said softly: "Of course it's not so simple, three thousand captives, I only need half of them, and the orthodox people must not stay." These people may be able to play an important role in our counterattack against the Ya Ya army in the future, not to mention, they are more familiar with the situation of the Ya tribes than we are. ”

Not long after Yan Xu returned to the camp, the entire prisoner camp suddenly became noisy, some were willing, some were unwilling, and they almost froze, if it weren't for the Huolin sabers and guns on the side around them, I was afraid that these people would fight. The army is not only the people of the Spirit, but also people of other tribes and races.

"My lord, do you really want to join the Fire Lin Army?" In Yan Xu's tent, one person asked.

Yan Xu said lightly: "Not bad! ”

"My lord, how can you betray ......?"

Yan Xu waved his hand and said, "Needless to say, I have made up my mind, as for you to consider it yourself, it will only be time to make a decision tomorrow." ”

"I'm willing to surrender, stay here, I'm fed up, besides, even if we go back now, what will happen to us?"

"How can you say that? How can I, the people of the Uncle's tribe, speak lightly of betrayal? ”

…………

In the school field of the West Battalion, 4,000 Huolin sergeants surrounded the entire camp.

On the high platform, Zhao Xun and the various captains who were ordered to return to the camp gathered together. In the audience, the three thousand prisoners of the Martial Army stayed lazily in the center, whispering about yesterday's topic.

Zhao Xun nodded, and Han Meng shouted: "My lord has an order, those who are willing to surrender are located on the left side, and those who are unwilling to move to the right side will be carried out immediately, within a stick of incense, those who do not move in place, kill!" ”

Immediately, the entire school field was in turmoil, and at the same time, the surrounding Huolin Army longbowmen also raised their longbows and looked coldly at the prisoners of the Yan Army on the school field.

Yan Xu silently walked to the left, and immediately followed by a team of people.

"Damn it, traitor!" One person spat at Yan Xu and scolded disdainfully. But no matter how much he scolded, someone still chose the left side. In less than a stick of incense, the 3,000 people had already divided into two groups, one large and one small.

"There are a thousand people who are willing, but it's okay, it's enough!"

"Give them blades!" Zhao Xun then ordered!

"Bang dang!" More than 1,100 spears and knives were thrown in front of those who were willing to surrender.

"Your Excellency has an order, those who are willing to surrender must first vote for their names and kill them! Whoever does not see blood on the blade will be killed! Han shouted fiercely, and the halberd in his hand pointed directly at the part that did not want to surrender.

"What?" Yan Xu was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood, and his face showed a wry smile, but then he hidden, he knew that it was necessary to gain Zhao Xun's trust and get rid of the other party. Even if he changed his position in Zhao Xun, he would do it. Now that the decision has been made, there is no room for regret.
