The distant horizon already had a faint glow, rendering a small piece of the nearby canopy into a beautiful painting with distinct layers.

At first, it was a warm orange like egg yolk, although it was the clearest, but the range was very small, as if it was just a stroke of Tiangong's hand, and then between a circle of conspicuous white and this warm orange, there was a small bit of bright yellow that was almost invisible, and then the blue that ordinary sky should have, the elegant light blue and the deep blue like the sea, layer by layer, and finally the black that belonged to the night.

However, when the first ray of sunlight appeared between heaven and earth, the exit of the night was already irreversible, and the thick fog shrouded in the entire land of Yanzhou gradually dispersed with the appearance of the sun, and the whole world was suddenly in a wonderful, full of vitality and harmony.

The only thing that made people feel a little discordant was the two poor patriots kneeling in the middle of a group of black-faced people who were eyeing each other.

The two unlucky people who were forcibly arrested, after listening to the words of the unknown Liangguo general in front of them, were shocked, and their hearts were full of mixed feelings for a moment, all of them came up, entangled together, and couldn't tell what it was like.

It's good that they are patriots, but does the patriot really treat them as ordinary people?

From their birth to the present, they have been working diligently, living honestly, silently contributing their strength to the country, but the war broke out inexplicably, and then it was a simple expropriation order, which directly took away the food stored at their home, not to mention, and finally forcibly conscripted them to participate in the escort all the way, and may even have to go to the battlefield to send them to death!

Before that, who asked them if they wanted to?

But who ever wondered how they would end?

But who ever wondered what their lives were like?

They are gone as the pillars of the family, no one cultivates the fertile land at home, no one takes care of the newlywed wife and children who have not yet grown up, and the parents are even more old, maybe they will die when they can go back, if they can go back, if they are gone, then who will take care of their family?

With the consistent urine nature of the patriotic court, will it care about these little things?

In the eyes of those hateful officials, they, the common people, are just the objects of oppression and extortion at will, anyway, they know that they dare not resist for the sake of their livelihood, so they naturally become more and more unscrupulous.

I want to be a son, but I can't do my filial piety in front of the court, as a husband, but I can't give my wife a stable home, as a father, I can't take care of my children, and all of this is because of His Majesty's selfish desires!

Why?

If it weren't for the accumulation of anger in their stomachs, how would they dare to have the courage to go against the soldiers with knives?

Now those soldiers who have oppressed them all the way and are going to kill them are dead, but what saved them was the Liangguo people who were the enemy, and now, the other party wants to obtain information from themselves that is not conducive to defending the country.

It stands to reason that as a patriot, he grew up in the country since he was a child, and he should not have said anything that was not conducive to the country, even if he died because of this, it was a sacrifice to protect the interests of the country, it was glorious, and it was a death that was heavier than Mount Tai, but the other party's first sentence deeply touched the most sensitive point in their hearts.

"The war between the two countries has nothing to do with the people, and this should not be your turn to suffer. ”

Listen, listen!

Why are people so reasonable?

How do people know about their afflictions?

As long as there are a few acres of land at home, and they can live by their own efforts, it is enough, they can already be satisfied, but if they are not willing to give them even such a little basic thing, then they don't mind the opposite.

Regardless of whether the other party is really willing to let them go, or just deceive them, in short, just one sentence, it is worth the gamble.

The man who had always behaved better and was a little bolder, didn't care what the person next to him would choose, he immediately raised his head, his eyes were full of thirst for life, and the hatred of those officials and masters, he shouted bluntly: "I am willing, I am willing to tell you everything I know to the general!"

His tone was very firm, and even at the end, he deliberately shouted more, just to be able to fight for this chance to live.

When the person next to him heard this, he also turned his head to look at him, and his mouth moved twice, but he couldn't open his mouth.

He wanted to scold the last sentence, how can you, a patriot, defect to the enemy and commit treason, but in an instant, he felt that if he could live, if he could go back alive, then what could not be said, and finally he had a strong sense of regret, hating his hesitation and lack of decisiveness, why didn't he make up his mind like the other party?

You must know that this is the first one to speak, making the other party happy, and the chance of leaving smoothly will be a little greater, if people see that they are unwilling to say, killing themselves is not a matter of a knife, and these Rakshasa ghosts next to them can stare at themselves, then maybe they will disembowel themselves later.

Why bother?

Thinking of this, he also raised his head and said a word to the person next to him, scrambling to tell everything he knew, about the journey, about the soldiers who were responsible for escorting them.

Cao Yan rode on the horse, looked underneath, nodded lightly while listening, and with his intelligence, he confirmed the content revealed in the other party's words with his previous speculation, so that he could know that what the other party said was true.

In the end, they are all ordinary people, in this case, they are already scared to death, and life is already a matter of life, where is there still a rush to give birth, deliberately making up some lies to deceive him, even if he belongs to the enemy country, but once he offends him, it is a dead word, who dares to talk nonsense at this time, not to mention that the two do not believe that the other party will not choose to expose themselves in order to survive, which is even more unnecessary to play this kind of cleverness.

In short, the two of them checked each other and filled in the gaps, and almost completely explained the situation of the entire team, and even the information they didn't know the truth of their hearsay, just hoping to add another bargaining chip to the possibility of successfully surviving.

This is really a great gain, after all, all the information about the other team, before this, was just his own speculation, and he finally knew that Hu Yanshi was in another team nearby, sitting in the Chinese army.

When the two of them found that there was nothing to say about the search, they looked at him with a begging gaze, like a stray dog on the street, and shrunk their bodies together, and their bodies were even holding their breath.

After all, the other party is from Liangguo, so they killed the two of them on the spot in order not to expose their whereabouts, that is also possible, and it is very likely.

"General, general, general。。。。。。 ”

"General, please, I still have children。。。。。。 ”

Cao Yan came back to his senses, and the brows that were originally twisted together also relaxed, he sighed, and said: "Alas, I should have killed the two of you in order not to reveal your whereabouts, but I also said before, the war has nothing to do with the people, and you are also pitiful, so let you go, you two will leave quickly now, don't look back, if you run to another place and deliberately reveal our whereabouts, I will not show mercy again!"

You can really go!

The mind suddenly relaxed, and the two people who walked on the ghost door closed, the expressions on their faces were very surprised, and they hurriedly lay down at the moment, kowtowing like pounding garlic, and at the same time shouting and thanking each other.

"Thank you, General, for sparing your life!

"Don't worry, general, it's too late for the two of us to run, and it's impossible to go elsewhere!"

He was telling the truth, and he finally escaped, so how could he run to another baggage team?

What are you running back for?

Do you want to continue to work as a coolie?

This is a rare opportunity to leave, why don't you hurry back to your hometown and stay here?

What's more, where can they explain these things clearly, once it is known that they have leaked information, it will not affect the whole family?

It is precisely because he understands these truths that Cao Yan will relented for a moment and let them go, otherwise Cao Yan would never let go of these two people who might expose their whereabouts and specific troops.

On the battlefield, there are no innocents, since it is a struggle to the death, there is no room for soft-heartedness, and when he should not show mercy, he will never show mercy.

Cao Yan waved his hand casually and said to the two, "Let's go quickly!"

Escaping death is really like living again, coupled with the longing for their hometown and relatives, the legs and feet of the two of them that were so sore that they can't stand up at all have become stronger.

The two of them stood up with each other's arms, and while continuing to thank each other, they hurriedly staggered out.

"Come back!"

Suddenly, Cao Yan, who was riding on the horse, snorted softly, and the two people who had just walked a few steps were suddenly stunned on the spot, their heads didn't dare to turn, and even cold sweat came down.

I don't know if the other party is temporarily repentant, or choose to kill themselves, the two of them were so frightened that they didn't even dare to breathe, and their hearts were full of thoughts, secretly weighing whether to ignore the other party directly, and quickly snatched the horse and ran away, but when I thought about it, at such a close distance, the other party didn't have to chase, even if they shot an arrow, they were all dead, how could they run, so they still turned around tremblingly and went back.

Unexpectedly, the young general had a kind smile on his face, and his tone was very kind.

"As I said just now, you two can choose two horses to go, the road is far away, and bring some food, no matter where you go next, if you don't eat, it will always be fine. ”

When the two of them heard this, they were both stunned, and then tears suddenly poured out.

"Thank you, General, thank you, General!"

"Thank you, thank you!"

A Rakshasa man next to him, under the instruction of Ihuasha, grabbed a few bags of dry food from the carriage next to him and stuffed them directly to each other, the two of them carried the food in their arms, they were so excited that they could barely stand up, and at this time, they looked at these black-faced Rakshasas much more kindly.

"Alright, don't delay any longer!

As soon as Cao Yan pulled the reins, Huoshenzi took a few steps, and as soon as he turned around, he wanted to continue to lead people to chase after the opponent's large army.

At this moment, one of them stopped crying, and seeing his expression, it seemed that he had made up his mind, and suddenly raised his head and shouted again.

"General, you are a good person, I am willing to say one more word to you. ”

Cao Yan stopped and didn't turn around, just turned his head to look at him and smiled: "You said yes." ”

The man first subconsciously glanced at his companions beside him, and then lowered his voice and said, "The people who escorted us just now are all thorns who are usually not treated well in the barracks, and many of them have contradictions with their superiors. ”

This person is really smart, even if he made up his mind to remind the other party, he didn't say it directly, but mentioned it very vaguely, not only because he didn't want the companion next to him to expose him in the future, but also because he didn't want to be blamed by the other party, blaming them for why they didn't say it before, whether they deliberately wanted them to die.

Cao Yan also understood that the other party was reminding him that these people were probably deliberately pushed out, deliberately let him eat it, and seduce him into the bait.

With this in mind, he immediately turned around and solemnly clasped his fists at the other party on the horse and said, "Thank you!"

At this time, with the help of the people next to them, the two had already ridden their horses, and after collecting the dry food, they waved goodbye to Cao Yan and the others, with sincere expressions.

-------------------

A plot written on an improvised basis.

I've always wanted to give this work some sense of reality, or a sense of substitution, originally to increase the detailed description of the scenery space, as well as to include the characters' expressions, psychological activities, etc.

This time, this plot is also my opinion, throughout the ages, many successful characters are not only because they are on the cusp of the storm, nor just because they are indeed talented and learned, but because they make choices that are different from others, or it can be said that a little luck makes them make different choices at a critical time.

If Cao Yan hadn't said that, if he hadn't done it, he wouldn't have gotten this information, and although he would still have succeeded, it would have seemed untrue enough to make it just a story.

The moment the whip is drawn, it is the starting point of a historical event.

Without further ado, you will spend more money than the number of words.
