When Shen Jin and Zhang Xiu passed by Dongyang Gate, they saw a group of people in old clothes but not ragged people were surrounding the blue brick wall at the city gate, listening to a literate middle-aged man reading word by word, and after seeing the arrival of the two generals in armor, the sound of the reading stopped abruptly, and people looked at it with suspicion, but when they intersected with Shen Jin's gaze, they all lowered their eyes timidly.

"The people here have lived hard, but I don't think they will give up their lives for food, they have been obedient people for decades, Qiang, Qian, Xianbei people, come and go, go and come, and I don't see that they have the courage to resist. Zhang Xiu pursed his lips, revealing a dagger handle inlaid with gold and bronze at his waist, and behind him was a brand-new bright red cloak, which was found in the Chengdong Arsenal. There used to be a huge amount of armor and weapons there, which were originally used to support the Northern Expedition, but now the Great Sima Banshi is in a hurry, and the things in the arsenal have not been completely transferred, leaving a lot of well-made armor weapons.

Shen Jin was still wearing Xuanjia, but he replaced the underwear that was soaked by the rainstorm yesterday, he listened to Zhang Xiu's words, his lips moved, and he didn't respond.

"There are always more than 10,000 households and tens of thousands of people in the city, if the general needs manpower like this, then simply, find those strong men to directly force into the army, and if they don't want to, they will be tied up and given a few whips, I don't believe that they don't obediently obey orders, I can guarantee that within three days, four or five thousand people will be fine. ”

"Then in three days, at least half of these four or five thousand people will flee, and they will also scare away at least three times the number of people in the city, and at that time, who will help us build the city defenses and pay for the food?" Shen Jin interrupted Zhang Xiu, who was about to rise, "They may be used to being obedient people who live in the world, and they don't care who their ruler is, but we can't care." ”

"I think I understand......," Zhang Xiu muttered, "but I'm not in a hurry to see this situation." ”

"If what Da Sima said is true, then at least we still have some time to perfect our preparations, although there is not much time. Shen Jin looked into the past and could see a black longing building standing in front of him.

......

This is the Luoyang prison built in the east of the city, Luoyang City is of course more than this prison, but most of the side has been abandoned, according to Shen Jin's heard, since the great Sima Ke returned to the old capital, only this prison in the east of the city still has prisoners.

The dilapidated wooden door made it almost impossible to imagine that this was the gate of the prison in the east of the city, and the head of the cell who came out to greet him had all white hair, and could not even straighten his waist, his face was full of ravines, and the jailer's uniform was stained with oil, and the original color of the suit could hardly be seen.

The musty smell that belongs to the prison is mixed with the volatilization of water on the ground, which is simply disgusting, Zhang Xiu frowned and pinched his nose, but Shen Jin didn't seem to notice that he took the prisoner's roster from the trembling hand of the old cell head, and asked while looking at it: "How many people are in the prison?"

"Even the old and the young, a total of sixty-three, oh no, a few days ago, Song Sanwa's wound was pus, and she burned in the middle of the night and died, and now there are sixty-two. Although the old cell leader is old, his ears are not back, Shen Jin answers as soon as he asks, and he seems to have a good memory, but when he speaks, he seems to have a mouthful of thick phlegm in his throat, and his bones are vague, and it is uncomfortable to listen to.

"What about the jailers? How many else?" Shen Jin's gaze crossed the old cell head and saw the figure looking at the gate of Hessesen Prison.

"Ah...... Including the villain, there are five in total. ”

"Just five jailers, look at sixty-two prisoners, aren't you afraid they'll run away?"

"Hey, back to the general's words, don't be afraid, these prisoners are either thieves, or they are poor and have no choice, they were caught after robbing something, and they are still in charge of food here, as long as they don't starve to death, they are reluctant to leave. Oh, by the way, but a few days ago, the army sent a few prisoners, saying that they were temporarily detained here, and at first there were some military masters and supervisors watching, but then they gradually disappeared.

"Is there such a criminal? Take me to see it. Shen Jin put away the roster and let the old cell leader lead the way, "Do you know what crime these people are detained here?"

"The first one, the villain looked at him as a posterity, said that he was a criminal in the army, the villain was strange, since he was a criminal, why did he come to this rainy and leaky, cold and windy Dongcheng to break the prison......?

The old cell leader led Shen Jin through the dim corridor, and the musty and damp smell had subsided somewhat, and it seemed that he was far away from the location of the secluded prison.

“...... As for the two later, they didn't come for a long time, and they didn't say anything about them, but the rank of the military master who sent them here should be not small, that is, the meals are all exquisite meals sent from outside, if they are not shackled, this is simply a guest who came to enjoy the blessings. The old cell boss was still talking, and finally arrived in front of a mansion with a towering door wall in Lijin, and opened the door lock and let Shen Jin and Zhang Xiu walk in.

Shen Jin noticed that the houses here were also in the form of prison cells, but they were listed separately, and it seemed that the lighting environment was much better, but it was obvious that the confinement of Cheng Dù had also been strengthened.

The old cell boss pointed to the two innermost houses: "This is the place where those two people are kept, and the villain still wants to ask, how to deliver the food in the back? The little one is afraid that he will starve people, and it is difficult to explain, so he has been sent with the food here for a few days, and the old one is unpalatable, and he has lost his temper with us......"

"Damn, he's still picking on his mouth when he's in prison?" Zhang Xiu couldn't help but scold.

The taste here is obviously much better, and there is even a faint aroma floating here, Shen Jin peeked into the first cell, and saw a thin figure lying on the thatched pile on all fours, and noticed that someone was coming, the thin figure suddenly looked up, and immediately shouted after finding that there were two neat and distinct generals in front of him.

"How can you be like this? I know everything about Lord Huan, why are you locked up here......? Isn't this a gift from the Jin people!" This is a half-white beard, described as a thin old man, and the shackles on his body should be loud when he yells.

Shen Jin recognized it at first sight, he ignored the old man, and went to the second cell, just as expected, he saw a slender and tall woman lying with her back to her, not responding to his arrival and the old man's shouting.

"I've seen them. Zhang Xiu said suddenly, with a surprised expression on his face.

"I've seen it too. Shen Jin nodded.

He had seen them at the meeting where the Great Sima would gather and ascend to the tent, and the envoys of the Xianbei Yan State Feng Pavilion, who were captured alive by the swordsmen of the Great Sima Mansion, --- subdued Lu Shuoqi and Li Fei Xi.

To be honest, although their status as Hu people made Shen Jin quite disliked, compared to the contemptible appearance of Lu Shuoqi wagging his tail and begging for mercy in front of Da Sima, Shen Jin still appreciated the strength shown by Li Fei Suxi, a seemingly weak Xianbei woman, even if it was an enemy, but the affirmation of this kind of integrity was always common.

Although I don't know what the reason is, these two captured Xianbei Xiaozuo were imprisoned here, and they were forgotten by Da Sima like used waste paper, and they didn't even take the two of them back to the court, but Shen Jin felt that they might still be useful to him.

"Auxiliary lieutenant, you go find ten people and bring them to the prisoner cart. Shen Jin said to Zhang Xiu, "These two people should not be imprisoned here, take them to the barracks and lock them up, I think they should come in handy when dealing with the Donghu people." ”

"Understood!" Zhang Xiu smiled, and immediately ran out.

After hearing that he was about to be taken away again, Lu Shuoqi stopped shouting, with a nervous look on his face, and stammered: "You guys...... You guys...... What are you going to do? Your Lord Huan is still useful...... Where I need it!"

"Lord Huan has left Luoyang yesterday, and the class teacher has returned to the court. Shen Jin shook off without replying.

Lu Shuoqi's face froze, as if he was extremely surprised and surprised, and muttered: "What...... How could it be? I'm still ...... I still know a lot about ...... A lot...... I was about to face Lord Chen Huan......"

Shen Jin's smile couldn't hide the disdain at the corner of his mouth: "You can say it to me." ”

From beginning to end, Li Fei was motionless, and to her, she was untouched.

......

"Where else is the lock-up?" Shen Jin asked the old cell boss as he walked out of the hospital.

"It's in the dungeon, and the villain takes the general. ”

"Wait a minute...... Shen Jin suddenly waved his hand, turned his head to look at the courtyard where the two Xianbei were being held, and looked thoughtful, he seemed to have thought of something, "...... The man who was locked up in the dungeon, called a prisoner in the army, was a young man?"

"Yes, the face is a little fierce, but the mold is white, and the birth is decent. The old cell's cloudy eyes showed inquiry.

"I think I've seen this guy too. Shen Jin was inspired by the two Xianbei meticulous works, and he raised his head, "If I am not mistaken, although he was not defeated by me, he was also handed over to the Wushu battalion through my hands, and he was a prisoner of our forward army." ”

......

Sure enough, in the damp and cold dungeon, Shen Jin saw Alemin.

The old cell boss's description was correct, Allemin's limbs were tightly wrapped in chains, but it did not prevent him from falling asleep on the thatch, and he was careful to avoid the part soaked in black stinky water, even if he heard the sound of the cell door opening, his eyelids only moved, and did not open.

After the mission of the vanguard army ended, Alemin was escorted by the light cavalry sent by Shen Jin as the only prisoner and handed over to the follow-up army, but the follow-up army of Lord Huan Huo did not have time to present this prisoner of war in front of Da Sima. Perhaps it was because he was weak and languishing at that time, and he really didn't look like a very important person, so although he was a key criminal in the army, he was sent to the Dongcheng prison, and the soldiers guarding it gradually became careless, until he was finally requisitioned back to the camp but he was very negligent and forgot about him.

Of course, it was because those soldiers didn't have to worry about Alemin being able to escape, and even a dozen big men couldn't get rid of the iron chains that were tightly wrapped around their hands and feet, and he couldn't get out of the way at all except for the realm in this cage.

Alemin suffered a severe internal injury, and Chi Tang's powerful blow almost shattered his internal organs, if it weren't for the rigorous training he had undergone since he was a child, and his whole body had been smeared with the potion of Xianbei witchcraft, perhaps he would have died by then.

For him, death was the best relief, after the once invincible serrated scimitar was shattered, his soul was once silent, even more painful than physical trauma, a knife man who has lost his knife is like a beast without sharp teeth, not to mention that his god-like master has been defeated, which makes him lose the future that he can hope for, can look forward to.

But it's strange to say, obviously he feels that life is loveless, but the body that has been hit hard has gradually healed, and the habits he has developed over the years can't be changed, he can't bear to be laughed at by people sleeping in his own feces and urine, and the food sent to his mouth is eaten without hesitation because of hunger, so that in the end, he gave birth to a kind of resigned thought--- if I am still useful, then God will keep me alive, on the contrary, I calmly accept the death that will come eventually.

So he didn't care about who was in the cell today, although Shen Jin's voice made him feel a little familiar.

"Although Mr. Chi only used one blow to get you to your stomach, you are still a dangerous person, maybe I should kill you right now. Shen Jin looked at Alemin's face, the once handsome and fair face was now covered in dirt, the messy and uneven mustache stretched out under his chin, and his long fluffy hair covered most of his forehead.

Did you mean that ancient beast that was on fire? Alemin felt his heart skip a beat. But his eyes were still closed, and a mocking smile flashed: "Danger? Are you afraid of my body firmly chained and shackled? ”

With a snort, Shen Jinsang pulled out the giant sword behind his back, and the heavy but sharp enough tip of the sword instantly hit Allemin's throat accurately. This action made the old cell boss on the side shudder: "Will ...... General, without an order, did not dare to ...... I didn't dare to punish myself. ”

Alemin finally opened his eyes and looked at Shen Jin indifferently, perhaps after recognizing it for a while, he recognized Shen Jin's appearance.

"Oh, it's you, little character, but it doesn't matter. Alemin's eyes closed calmly again, and Hao crooked his neck indifferently under the pressure of the tip of the sword, "With a big sword like yours, it is easier to cut off the head directly than to pierce the throat." ”
