On the bank of the river, hundreds of barbarians lined up, and behind them, many heavily armed Han soldiers stood.

A Han soldier walked up behind a barbarian and drew a short blade from his waist.

Hearing the faint sound of the Han army drawing out the short blade, the barbarian closed his eyes, just waiting for the Han army to plunge the short blade into his heart.

But he didn't wait for the short blade to pierce his body, but felt the rope that bound his arms behind him loosen, and both arms instantly became free.

The arm was free, and the barbarian turned his head in surprise to look at the Han soldier who had cut the rope for him.

The Han army, who had cut the rope, muttered towards the surface of the river and motioned for him to go into the river.

Cowering towards the river, the barbarian glanced back at the Han soldiers before entering the water.

The Han soldier handed the barbarian a piece of hemp rope, and the barbarian led one end, and he himself took the other, and waved his hand at the barbarian.

The relieved barbarian threw away his arm and swam towards the other side of the river with the end of the hemp rope.

The Han army squatting on the bank of the river, while loosening the hemp rope, watched the progress of the barbarians' swimming.

Seeing the barbarian cross the river, the hundreds of barbarians on the bank of the river licked their lips one by one.

They were very envious of the barbarian who had been released by the Han army, and at the same time they were worried about him.

Although the river is not very wide, the current is not very gentle, and swimming to the opposite side of the river bank requires very good water quality.

The barbarian chosen by the Han army was obviously the best in water among them, and it didn't take long for him to swim to the other side.

Holding the end of the hemp rope in his hand, the Han soldier standing on the shore waved his hand behind him.

Another Han army cut the rope of a barbarian and let the barbarian go to the river.

Signaling the barbarians to grab the rope to cross the river, the Han soldier who led the rope at one end of the rope pulled the rope hard.

It was only at this point that hundreds of barbarians realized that the Han army had escorted them to the bank of the river, not to kill them, but to let them cross the river.

The Han army that let them cross the river did not drive them into the river in a swarm, but also prepared ropes for them to cross the river, and hundreds of barbarians couldn't help but be moved in their hearts.

The barbarian who swam to the other side first did not understand why the Han army wanted him to hold a hemp rope at first, until the second barbarian dragged the rope across the river, and he completely understood.

Pulling the rope tightly, watching the second barbarian who crossed the river get closer and closer to the river bank with the rope, and looking at the black figure opposite, the barbarian actually had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Sneak attack on the Han army camp, they just killed more Han people, but after the matter was revealed, the Han people did not kill them, but helped them cross the river.

Looking at the other side of the river, the barbarians pulling the ropes had a kind of doubt about whether they should fight with the Han people anymore.

Not only him, but all the barbarians on the bank of the river who saw this scene had the same suspicion in their hearts.

After many years of fighting with the Han people, the Yizhou army has never advanced into the barbarian territory, but it is the barbarians, which has caused a lot of trouble to the Han people.

More and more barbarians crossed the river, and later, before each barbarian crossed the river, he would turn around and salute the Han soldiers who escorted them.

The Han army who watched this scene was expressionless and cut the ropes of the barbarians in accordance with the order and let them go.

More and more barbarians crossed the river, and just as most of the barbarians crossed the river, countless black and swarthy figures appeared on the side where they landed.

Behind the barbarians who had crossed the river, a large group of barbarians rushed to the riverbank, led by a barbarian general on a pony.

When the barbarian general reached the riverbank, he saw many barbarians standing on the riverbank, frowned, and waved his hand at the barbarians who followed behind him.

The barbarians who followed him immediately rushed to the barbarians who had only just landed on the riverbank.

Rushing to the barbarians, the brutes didn't listen to them at all, and kicked them to the ground one by one and twisted them.

Although it was at night, what was happening on the other side of the river was not very real, but something could be seen from the figures of people or shadows.

The barbarians who crossed the river were thrown to the ground, and the barbarians in the middle of the river hurriedly turned around and walked back, and those barbarians who had not had time to cross the river beside the Han soldiers refused to go to the bank of the river at all.

The Han soldiers drove away the captured barbarians, but the barbarians preferred to stand in the water rather than cross the river.

Seeing this scene, the officer who led the Han army said to a soldier beside him: "Quickly present the general, I said that the barbarians who crossed the river were overthrown by their own family, and the rest of the barbarians refused to cross the river!" ”

The soldier answered, and ran quickly towards the camp.

led the army to thwart the barbarians' sneak attack, Zhuge Jun returned to the tent, and was about to rest, when a personal soldier's voice came from outside the tent: "General Qiyu, the captured barbarians refuse to cross the river!" ”

Hearing that the captured barbarians refused to cross the river, Zhuge Jun was stunned for a moment, quickly stood up, strode to the outside of the tent, and asked the soldiers who reported the news, "What's the matter?" ”

"Return to the general!" Maintaining a posture of clenching his fists and bowing, the pro-soldier said: "It is said that the barbarians on the other side have knocked down all the barbarians who crossed the river, so that they dare not cross the river!" ”

"Call the guide!" Knowing that the barbarians on the other side had moved to their own family, Zhuge Jun's eyes narrowed, he ordered his own soldiers, and walked towards the outside of the barracks first.

Zhuge Jun, surrounded by a group of pro-soldiers, left the barracks first, and the pro-soldiers who had been ordered to find a guide.

When he arrived at the bank of the river, Zhuge Jun really saw three or four hundred barbarians standing on the bank.

There were more than 500 barbarians who were captured, and the Han army prepared only one rope, and they crossed the river very slowly, and most of the barbarian captives did not cross the river when the barbarians on the opposite bank moved on their own families.

"What's going on?" When they reached the shore and glanced at the barbarians who refused to cross the river, Zhuge Jun asked the officer who led the Han army to drive them away.

"Return to the general!" Seeing Zhuge Jun coming, the officer had already greeted him, and when he heard the question, he hurriedly saluted and said: "I waited for more than 100 barbarians to cross the river, but I don't know why a barbarian army and horses suddenly appeared on the other side of the river, and the barbarians who crossed the river were overturned to the ground. ”

Hearing what the officer said, Zhuge Jun didn't have any expression on his face, but just turned his head to look at the barbarians clustered on the shore.

On the other side of the riverbank, the barbarians who had captured the barbarians crossing the river set up arrows on their longbows and shot them at the bank.

Because the wind on the river was quite strong at night, and the river was not very narrow, the arrows shot from the other side could not reach the river bank at all, and they fell into the water one after another.

As a result, the barbarians on the bank did not dare to cross the river, and they gathered in a group one by one, no matter how the Han army drove them, they refused to go into the water.

"That's it!" Seeing that the barbarians were frightened, Zhuge Jun said to the officer: "Don't let them cross the river, when the guide comes, ask them!" ”

"No!" The officer answered, then turned and waved his hand at the Han soldiers on the shore.

When the soldiers of the Han army saw him waving their hands, they all stopped driving away the barbarians.

The barbarians gathered in one place looked at the Han soldiers with panicked faces, and their eyes were not out of fear of the Han army at all, but out of fear that the Han army would drive them across the river.

As a captive, he should be able to cross the river and return to his own camp quickly, and the actions of the barbarians who gathered on the shore made Zhuge Jun feel very puzzled.

The barbarians on the other side of the river knocked down the barbarians who crossed the river, thinking that they should only control them, and not necessarily kill them.

Looking at the black and swarthy barbarian figure on the other side, Zhuge Jun was wondering, and the guide came to his side under the guidance of a personal soldier.

"Ask the barbarians, why they refuse to cross the river?" The guide saluted Zhuge Jun, and Zhuge Jun opened his mouth to give him a command.

Having received the order, the guide strode over to the barbarians and asked them what they were saying in the language of the barbarians.

Hearing that the guide spoke the language of the barbarians, the barbarians who were clustered on the bank of the river calmed down a little, and one of them replied tremblingly.

"General Qiqi!" Returning to Zhuge Jun, the guide clasped his fists and said to him: "The barbarians told the villains that those who have crossed the river will be slaughtered after being captured, and they refuse to cross the river, and they don't want to die too miserably." ”

"Bring the barbarian who replied!" Zhuge Jun nodded and gave an order to one of his own soldiers.

Not long after the soldiers left, they brought the barbarian who had just answered the guide.

Looking at the barbarian standing in front of him, Zhuge Jun found that his physique was very strong, although his height was shorter than that of the Han people, but compared to ordinary barbarians, he was still relatively tall.

"Ask him what will happen to those barbarians!" After looking at the barbarian standing in front of him, still trembling, Zhuge Jun commanded the guide again.

The guide first answered, and then in the language of the barbarian, he told Zhuge Jun's question to the barbarian.

The barbarian was also honest, and after listening to the question, he said a lot of things that Zhuge Jun and the soldiers of the Han army could not understand.

It wasn't until the barbarian finished speaking that the guide said to Zhuge Jun: "The barbarians who crossed the river have been captured, and when they return to the army, they will definitely be skinned and stripped of their hearts, and if they want to die, they would rather have their heads cut off here than cross the river!" ”

After listening to the guide's explanation, Zhuge Jun pondered for a moment and said to the Han army officer on the side: "Give them back their blades, and give them some tents, and ask them to live in the open space a hundred steps away from our army!" ”

"General, this ......" not only had to keep the barbarians, but also return their blades, and also give them tents, Zhuge Jun's decision made the officers feel very puzzled, and did not immediately follow it.

"Do as you are told!" Seeing that the officer did not immediately carry out the order, Zhuge Jun frowned and gave him another order.
