Captives are nothing more than a few ways to deal with them: they are directly supplemented as soldiers, used as coolies, and one is killed.

Whether it is Jin Dongliu or Wang Shuang, it is not the first time that he has been captured. Jin Dongliu was almost sacrificed in Hanzhong last time, if it weren't for Wei Ba and Zhuge Liang to use Chang'an, he would have died a long time ago. This time he was captured by Wei Ba again, and he didn't have any chance of surviving. For him, the cost of surrender is too great, not only to damage his reputation, but also to implicate his family. For a child from a poor family, if there is a rebel, that is, the family is unlucky, and it will be even more difficult for others to get ahead in the future.

He would rather die than surrender. The reason why he didn't commit suicide was that he didn't give up yet, he knew that Emperor Bixia had sent someone to Chengdu to negotiate with Shu, and since it was a negotiation, it was possible to exchange prisoners. There is still a chance that he will return alive.

At this moment, looking at the jubilant Shu people, Jin Dongliu was a little lost, and compared with Wang Shuang, who had been indignant and defeated at the hands of Wei Ba, his mood was even heavier.

Then, he saw Xiahou Xuan standing on the side of the road.

Xiahou Xuan gestured at Jin Dongliu, and then disappeared into the crowd.

Jin Dongliu was stunned for a moment, and then became excited, he didn't know what would happen, but from Xiahou Xuan's gesture, he knew that he would not die in humiliation. As for whether he was exchanged back to Wei or whether there were other arrangements, he was not clear.

Wang Shuang drooped his head, thinking about the same question all the time: Wei Ba is not as tall as me, and his strength is not as great as mine, can he easily defeat me? He didn't see Xiahou Xuan, nor did he notice Jin Dongliu's joy and ease in an instant.

The captives did not enter the city. It was distributed just outside the city. Jin Dongliu and Wang Shuang, along with more than 100 Wei prisoners, were led around the city, crossed two rivers, and came to the Wei family manor in the south of the city.

Seeing the furnishings in front of the gate of the mansion and the two big characters "Wei Mansion", Jin Dongliu suddenly realized that he was going to meet Wei Ba again. Suddenly, his mood became very complicated and mixed. There is not only the joy of reuniting old friends, but also the shame of seeing the old man without a face, and a trace of anger towards Wei Ba.

They were led in through the side door. Came to a martial arts arena. The atmosphere changed suddenly. Along the way, they saw the calm and peaceful pastoral scenery, and saw the simple farmers and peasant women who still did not forget to sing a song after hard work, compared with the rough and heavy north. The folk customs of Yizhou tend to be soft. A little less murderous. A little more charming. These charms unwittingly dilute the pain of being captured and far from home.

But when they arrived at this martial arts arena, they suddenly felt that murderous aura again.

One hundred soldiers were divided into two groups, fifty each. Fighting is being carried out. They held unedged weapons in their hands, but this did not affect their ferocity in the slightest, and although there were not many of them, their formation was still rigorous. Countless strong men roared, slammed forward, weapons collided, making a piercing sound, and the people who were knocked to the ground screamed in pain, but the battle became more intense.

In the middle of summer, you will sweat a little bit, but these people are fully armed, and none of them have the slightest place to do so. Jin Dongliu and the others were shocked when they looked at all this in front of them. If the soldiers of Shu were all trained in this way, then it would be reasonable that they would be invincible.

"Kill!" As a strong man in his thirties rushed to the opponent's flag, "slashed" the opponent's team with a knife, ripped off the colored scarf he wrapped around his neck and raised it high, a fierce battle finally ended. The victorious side immediately cheered, while the losing side pulled off their helmets in frustration, drooped their heads, and muttered and complained in disbelief.

"Stop!" With a crisp sound of golden gongs, a young man stood on the stage of the general watching the battle. He pressed his hands down slightly, and all sounds disappeared without a trace.

"You two come here, and the others rest on the sidelines." The young man waved his hand and gave the order.

The red-faced soldiers who had just been killed scattered with a "boom", and rushed to the shade of the trees next to the martial arts arena in groups. There were several large buckets there, wrapped in thick bedding, and when they saw the soldiers passing, someone immediately opened the lid, scooped out cups of green water from them, poured them into cups, and handed them to the soldiers. The soldiers took it and raised their glasses and drank bitterly.

The two team leaders argued as they walked towards the command platform.

Jin Dongliu saw the person on the command platform, and he recognized that the young man was Wei Ba. He also found that there was not even a shade on the command platform, and Wei Ba, who was also fully armed, sat on the platform and endured the scorching sun with all the soldiers.

Seeing this scene, Jin Dongliu's heart was pounding.

After a short time, the two team leaders walked in from the stage, and while talking, they walked to the shade of the tree next to the martial arts arena. Wei Ba reappeared on the edge of the command platform, glanced condescendingly at the dejected and exhausted captives, his eyes shrank slightly, and then he laughed again.

"Brother Jin, don't come to harm?" As Wei Ba spoke, he stepped down from the command platform and strode towards Jin Dongliu and Wang Shuang. Before Jin Dongliu could speak, Wang Shuangxian roared: "Wei Ba, I'm not convinced, let's fight again." ”

"Big man, if you want to fight, Lao Tzu will accompany you." Ding Feng, who was closely following behind Wei Ba, shouted: "But if you dare to be rude, Lao Tzu will immediately cut you with a knife." ”

"What are you?" Wang Shuang glanced at Ding Feng, who was a head shorter than himself: "It's up to you, which is Lao Tzu's opponent, Lao Tzu wants to fight Wei Ba." ”

"If you beat him, I'll give you another chance." Wei Ba waved his hand, not even looking at Wang Shuang: "There are weapons on the sidelines, light and heavy, long and short, you can choose whatever you want." If you win him, you can go wherever you want, and if you lose, be honest with Lao Tzu. ”

When Wang Shuang heard this, his eyes widened: "Really? ”

", Lao Tzu lied to you to be a turtle?" Wei Ba glared at Wang Shuang angrily: "If you don't go, if you don't go, I'll send you to dig now." ”

"Go, the grandson won't go." Wang Shuang spat on the palm of his hand, strode to the sidelines, picked a knife and a big shield, and strode towards the field. Wei Ba didn't look at him either, just stared at Jin Dongliu up and down for a moment: "Brother Jin, have you worked hard all the way?" ”

Jin Dongliu pursed his lips: "The general of the defeated army, it is a blessing not to die, how dare you be afraid of hardship?" ”

"Then Brother Jin is afraid of death?"

Jin Dongliu snorted and dismissed.

"Since Brother Jin is not afraid, it will be easy to do." Wei Ba beckoned, and Wei Xing immediately took a piece of paper. Wei Ba took it and glanced at it, and handed it to Jin Dongliu: "Two choices: First, take your family over and follow me to make contributions from now on." Second, go back to Wei to farm. Although Sima Yi has a stomach, I believe that he is not Qin Xianggong, and he probably will not use you, the general of the defeated army, for the third time. ”

Jin Dongliu still expressed disdain, but when he saw the piece of paper in his hand, he suddenly froze. He raised his head, glanced at Wei Ba, and then read it again, his body trembling uncontrollably: "Pardon? ”

"Yes, you read that right." Wei Ba nodded: "You, as well as that stupid big man, as well as Hu Zun, Guo Huai and others are among the pardons." However, they don't have such a choice as you, either surrender or die. ”

Jin Dongliu was stunned for a moment, and said with a slightly sarcastic smile: "How can Dongliu be able to get Wei to join the army to look at him differently?" ”

Wei Ba smiled: "First, I'm not joining the army now, I'm just the young master of the Wei family, and I'm currently presiding over the external affairs of the Wei family." Second, the reason why I look at you differently is because I owe you a favor. ”

Jin Dongliu hesitated for a long time and sighed. "I've been defeated by you repeatedly, what's the use?"

"There is no shame in your defeat to me." Wei Badaxiao said: "There are many people who have lost under me, you are just the first, but you are definitely not Zuihou alone." He paused, and then said: "I admire Brother Jin's method of using soldiers, and I want to ask you to be the formation coach of my Wei family's martial arts for the time being." In the future, if there is an opportunity, we will lead such fighters into battle together. ”

Jin Dongliu followed Wei Ba's hand and looked at the warriors who were talking and laughing, and a hot current rose in his heart. If he can lead such a strong warrior, what kind of enemy can stand in his way?

Jin Dongliu was immersed in the reverie of beauty, but he heard strange screams on the martial arts field, he looked at it, and saw that Wang Shuang's hands were empty, and he was forced to dodge left and right by Ding Feng, who was dancing with a spear, twisting his waist and swinging his hips, not like a life-and-death duel, but like a fierce beast dancing clumsily under the command of Ding Feng.

"This ......" Jin Dongliu was dumbfounded. Wang Shuang's body is strong and does not lose, even if it is a tiring journey, he will not be tricked like this, right?

"Nothing." Wei Ba seemed to have expected it, and said lightly: "Wang Shuangkong has brute strength, but he doesn't know the way to exert strength, and he doesn't know how to overcome rigidity with softness, and the principle of harmony without stagnation, it's no problem to bully and bully ordinary soldiers, but when he encounters a master who knows the principles of boxing, failure is expected." However, as long as he tempers a little and goes to his clumsy strength, he is a fierce general with the courage of ten thousand people. ”

Wei Ba said as he walked to the middle of the field and raised his hand to stop. Ding Feng accepted the spear in response, stood with the spear in his hand, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and said, "Young master, I finally understand the beauty of a little roundness. ”

"Well, if you look at it a thousand times, it's better to go through it with your hands. Do you have confidence in yourself now? ”

"Yes, thank you for your advice." Ding Feng bowed and saluted.

"What about you, stupid big man, do you want to learn some real martial arts?"

Wang Shuang was angry, and he wanted to beat Ding Feng to the point that his nose was blue and his eyes were swollen, and then he would recover his free body and go back to his hometown. He never expected that the spear in Ding Feng's hand would be so slippery, although his strength was great, it couldn't touch Ding Feng's side, but Ding Feng easily knocked his weapon away. The harder he tried, the more passive he became, Zuihou was played around by Ding Feng, dizzy, his feet were sore, and he was hit hard. The original ambition was wiped out in an instant.

He hated and feared this strange martial art, and when he heard Wei Ba's words at this moment, he was stunned for a moment, and then he glared and shouted: "Soldiers can be killed, not humiliated, I will not surrender to a villain like you who can only play tricks." You tell him not to hide, we will fight again, how can there be a person jumping around like him on the battlefield, should you be a monkey? (To be continued......)
