Ma Chao said with a smile: "Of course, the general only needs to live in the wooden house, and he doesn't have to do anything else, so he can rest assured for the time being." ”

Ju Yi's face collapsed a little, and Ma Chao said to Pang De again: "Oh yes, there are a few more points." ”

"The young master commands." Seeing that Ma Chao was so confident, Pang De's heart also settled down.

Ma Chao said: "Isn't there a forest outside Ayang City? ”

Pound said: "The young master has a good memory, yes, there is indeed a big forest outside the city. ”

Ma Chao pinched a small piece of walnut meat, threw it into his mouth, and said, "Well, that's great." You just cut down the wood in that wood, and you just built the log house in the woods. In addition, except for the soldiers who specially brought food and food to General Ju, the soldiers were not allowed to go into the forest or near the wooden house, disturbing General Ju's leisure. Once you disobey the order, you will be killed! ”

"Yui!" Pound gave up, and this is to ask Ju Yi to go.

Ju Yi was still surprised, and said, "Young master, can you tell me what kind of punishment this is?" ”

Ma Chao said with a smile: "Confinement, that is, to lock up the general, no one is allowed to disturb, and no one is allowed to talk to the general." The wooden house was the general's confinement chamber. ”

Pound said to Ju Yi: "Did General Ju ask clearly? Is it convenient to go with me? ”

Ju Yi was still stunned, and he didn't know what Ma Chao's method was for.

Pound shouted to the onlookers outside the tent: "Someone! ”

The off-the-books soldiers immediately responded: "Yes! ”

"General Ju was late for no reason, and he drank alcohol in the army, which has violated military law. Obey the will of the lord, take General Ju away, build a confinement room, and confiner it! ”

"Yui!" Before Ju Yi could react, the soldiers rushed up, immediately grabbed Ju Yi's hands, and escorted him with his backhand.

But Ju Yi was a little frightened and unwilling to leave, Ma Chao observed this and said: "Since the general wants to see my means, okay!" I have shown my means, and it is up to me to submit the general. I wonder what doubts the general still has? ”

Ju Yi looked at the generals around him, they were all waiting to see the joke. Pang De, Duan Xuan, Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Ji have all seen waterboarding, and they know that Ma Chao has many ways to deal with people. Although I don't know what the effect of this "confinement" is, I still believe in Ma Chao's torture methods.

Ju Yi said: "The young master may wish to inform the last general, what is this confinement?" ”

Ma Chao still ate his walnut meat with peace of mind, and after just two bites, he said, "Didn't you already inform the general?" ”

"That's all?" Ju Yi couldn't believe it.

"That's all." Ma Chao nodded.

Ju Yi still didn't want to go, Ma Chao shouted: "What are you doing in a daze?" Why don't you hurry up and invite the general into the confinement room to rest? ”

"Yui!" The soldiers pulled Ju Yi hard, but Ju Yi was so powerful that the four of them couldn't pull him.

Ma Chao knew that this Ju Yi was afraid that he was afraid of the unknown because he didn't know about confinement, so he didn't want to go, but Ma Chao had to let him go. So Ma Chao said: "Since the general is unwilling to serve his sentence, it seems that he has to willingly obey my dispatch, but he obeys my order?" ”

Ju Yi said firmly: "Don't think! ”

"Then why not? Are you scared! ”

"How can the last general be afraid?" Ju Yi said stiffly.

"Then go ahead." Ma Chao said.

Ju Yi hesitated, still reluctant to go. Ma Chao said: "It seems that the general is still afraid. Forget it, since the general is afraid, let's go, although my brocade and horse are withering, but they don't need a gallant mouse yet. ”

As soon as Ju Yi heard this, his heart rose with fire, and he struggled to distract his soldiers, and said, "Hmph! How could the last general be afraid! At the end of the day, you have feet, and you can walk! ”

Ma Chao smiled and said: "Okay, all the generals get out of the way, let the general go by himself, don't disturb." As he spoke, Ma Chao stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture.

In front of everyone's eyes, Ju Yi had no choice but to follow Pang De out of the tent. As soon as he walked out of the tent, the onlookers automatically made way for Ju Yi, which made Ju Yi even more reason not to go, and he had to endure remorse.

And after Ma Chao invited Ju Yi, he sat down peacefully and continued to eat his walnut meat. In these years, walnuts have only just been introduced to Han for more than 200 years, and walnut trees are not widely planted. These walnuts were obtained after a sneak attack on Han Sui's camp.

Seeing that Ma Chao was eating his walnut meat peacefully, Duan Xuan was a little hesitant.

Ma Chao saw that Duan Xuan wanted to speak, but he was embarrassed to say it, so he said: "Say what you want to say, don't hide it." ”

Duan Xuan was a little embarrassed when he was exposed, and said stubbornly: "Oh." Lord, is this confinement too simple? ”

Ma Chao nodded and said, "Yes, it's really simple." ”

Duan Xuan said impatiently: "Then I'm afraid that I can't control that Juyi, right?" Ju Yi is arrogant, and he is so arrogant, I am afraid that he can surrender without confinement, right? ”

Ma Chao raised his eyes and looked at the next section of the simmer, guessed his thoughts, and said, "Then you mean that Ju Yi was waterboarded?" ”

Duan Xuan was said again, which was even more embarrassing. Because waterboarding is very cruel, Duan Xuan is not unaware. And he offered to let others be waterboarded, which inevitably made people think that he was cruel.

Duan Xuan said embarrassedly: "The lord is really like watching a fire. Thinking that the water punishment of the lord was so severe, the military marquis of Han Sui before couldn't stand it for a moment, and this Ju Yi must have succumbed in an instant. ”

Ma Chao shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Why, my lord?"

Ma Chao paused for a long time, put down the walnut meat in his palm, stood up, and said solemnly: "Because waterboarding is too cruel." Although it is not sad physically, it is very sad for the mind. Compared with waterboarding, confinement is far less damaging to people's minds, but it is far less than waterboarding. I don't want to be a cruel person, and waterboarding should not be carried lightly in the future, and it will never be used unless I am completely sure. If you move lightly, I will not spare it. ”

Duan Xuan, Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu and others were all convinced, and said, "Only." ”

Ma Chao said: "Okay, there is no military affairs here. Go down and deal with the troops, pay attention to arranging patrol parts, and be careful of the enemy's sneak attack. ”

"Yui." The third general went down at this time.

Everyone went out, and Ma Chao was the only one left in the tent. Ma Chao sighed deeply, thinking that since he crossed over, people have become worse and worse, and his heart has become more and more ruthless. In order to achieve their own goals, they can use unscrupulous means, even such inhuman means as waterboarding and confinement, they have no scruples in using them, and sometimes they secretly take pride in it, thinking that it is very clever to do so......

Ma Chao recalled that when he never crossed over, he was still an ordinary person, not much good, but not so bad, at most a harmless person. But the world after crossing over has become too fast, and if he wants to survive in this cruel world, he has unconsciously become the kind of person he hated the most: unscrupulous, despicable, ruthless, cruel, and murderous......

Thinking of this, Ma Chao's heart was like a stone sinking deep into the sea of ice, with remorse, self-blame, inferiority, and guilt...... Waiting for the feeling to come to his heart, Ma Chao felt very uncomfortable. However, what made him even more uncomfortable was that he realized that in this world, it seemed that if he wanted to survive, he had to become such a person, and there was no choice. And he, having embarked on the path of transformation, has no turning back.
