Along the way, a few people chatted about some family life, the man's name was Marquis, said that he was a soldier of the Chu people, and a few days ago he suffered a defeat and surrendered to the Qin people, and then he has been fighting with the Qin army, and now he is attacking Zhao. became famous and made up his name Zhang Ping and Zhang Yuan, but they were two brothers, and their families were poor before they were conscripted into the army. Several people gossiped, and after a while, they walked outside the camp with the team, and became famous and saw that the leading officer greeted the soldiers standing guard, and chatted a few words, and the sentry made his debut, and the officer led the soldiers into the Qin military camp, and then the camp went around for a while, and then stood and stopped outside a barracks.

Seeing that there were already several other rows of soldiers standing here, all of them neat and orderly, Cheng Ming quietly asked the marquis: "Little brother, why are so many soldiers gathered here?"

The marquis said: "I'm afraid I'll have to give away the head again later."

Fame doubted: "What is giving away people's heads"?

The marquis explained: "It is to bring some prisoners of war over and kill them in public, so as to raise the morale of the soldiers and strengthen the prestige of our army", and added: "It will start soon, watch quietly, and I will lecture in a while."

Chengming looked at the marquis's serious expression, cautious look, although he didn't understand very well, it was not good to ask any more, and the surname Tongli silently observed what was going to happen in the team.

Sure enough, as soon as a few people stood up, they saw three or five soldiers driving the crowd from a distance, and several soldiers were holding whips, echoing back and forth, and struck everyone viciously, with a fierce expression on their faces, shouting: Hurry up, don't ink, kill you. Seeing that the crowd was about 100 people, most of them were old people, women, children, and a few adult men, all of whom looked pained, squirming their bodies, from far and near, moaning constantly, and walked to the middle of the field, in front of the soldiers.

The little soldier stopped the crowd, and then ran to one place, and whispered to a man who looked like an officer, only to see the officer nod his head, and say a few more words, and the little soldier stood up and respectfully returned to his place, and the officer then came to the crowd. Fame took a closer look at the officer: tall and mighty, revealing a ruthless and cunning color between his eyebrows, Fang Zhengguo's face, a big nose upturned, long hanging ears, thick eyebrows and a thin mouth, a majestic general wearing armor, I couldn't help but feel cold, I knew that this person was not an ordinary person, just surging with the flow of people, I didn't care, I didn't know where to come out, and whispered to the marquis: "Little brother, who is this officer, quite majestic"?

The marquis glanced at Cheng Ming casually, and whispered: "This is our General Zhao Tuo, and this camp is under his control."

Cheng Ming pretended to be surprised and said: "That's the commander-in-chief of this attack on Zhao, it's really amazing."

The marquis said: "No, it's not so exaggerated, the main general who fought with Zhao was General Wang Qian, and there were generals such as Qiang Qi and Yang Duanhe below, but General Zhao also had something extraordinary, and I heard that the battle was very brave."

Fame pondered: "That's right."

The marquis said: "Stop talking, General Zhao is going to speak."

Cheng Ming looked, saw that Zhao Tuo looked around at the dense team of soldiers present, and said in a shocking voice: "Today, all the soldiers will be gathered here, do you know why?", looking at the solemn atmosphere on the field, he pointed to the crowd that drove him, and said after a pause: "This cadre is all Zhao people, all of them are relatives of Zhao soldiers, and they were captured and expelled to come in order to kill them in public", glanced at everyone, and said: " In recent days, some generals have reported that many soldiers in the barracks are demoralized and discouraged, which has affected the overall morale of the soldiers. Since the attack on Zhao by our Great Qin army, the empire and the Zhao state have been in a stalemate for more than a year, and they have not been able to attack for a long time, and the soldiers will inevitably be decadent.

I heard a chorus shouting: "Okay, fight for Daqin"!

Zhao Tuo waved his hand and continued: "Okay! Now the generals of each company and platoon are out of the ranks and gather here."

I saw one person walking out of each team, and it was the previous commander who came out of the team where Cheng Ming was, and more than a dozen people ran quickly in front of Zhao Tuo, standing neatly and standing on standby. After Zhao Tuo finished summoning, he said loudly: "Let the captains of each team take the lead in making a demonstration."

The generals shouted: "Yes", and lined up in turn. There were already small soldiers who tied up dozens of people and knelt in front of the soldiers, but they were slightly younger and stronger men in the crowd. More than a dozen generals held long knives in their hands, just waiting for the general to give a "kill" order, and seeing the blade swinging, several people's heads had already landed.

became famous in the crowd and watched the process, only to feel that the anger in my heart was uncontrollable. The soldiers drove the masses to come, whispered to the marquis, and learned that most of these people were the spouses, parents, and children of Zhao soldiers' families, and they were captured by the Qin soldiers just because the male members of the family joined the army and were enemies of the Qin people, and they were innocent people. Listening to the words of the officer Zhao Tuo, he let the soldiers beat and scold the innocent people, but he couldn't stand it anymore, and his heart was eager to try, and he was reluctant to restrain himself with his determination. When dozens of people knelt in front of the Qin army, with numb expressions on their faces, and let the Qin soldiers slaughter and kill, they were furious at the moment, and they wanted to stand up, their bodies moved slightly, but they had to be dragged and stopped by the surname, and listened to the surname: "Why are you going?"

Fame said: "Go out and save those people".

The surname said: "You are crazy, the other party is powerful and well-trained, depending on how you can save it."

became famous and said angrily: "We can't watch these people being killed by the soldiers?"

He said: "Be quiet", looked around, and said: "What else, there are many soldiers, even if we kill the generals and escape, and subdue some officers and soldiers, it will be useless, and we may not save everyone, in the end, these people will not be killed, and if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, don't forget the purpose of our trip."

Cheng Ming said angrily: "These innocent people are unarmed, can they allow the officers and soldiers to do things that hurt heaven and reason?"

He said: "Of course not, it's just that we are weak, and rash action will only startle the snake, and it will be useless, bear with it, and think about it in the long run when we see General Li."

Between the two of them, another group of old and weak people were poisoned, and they became extremely cold, and they heard General Zhao Tuo say in a loud voice from a distance: "The generals have set an example, and now there is any company of soldiers who want to show their skills and exercise their courage, so they can volunteer and come to me," and said: "There are not many opportunities, there are less than a hundred places left."

As soon as the general finished speaking, soldiers leaped out of the ranks and hurried to the center of the field, as if there were piles of glittering gold and beautiful women, and if they took a slow step, they would find nothing and return empty-handed.

Fame saw this chaotic and crowded, lively and extraordinary, lost his mind for a while, and was stunned, and there was an illusion of being integrated into it and experiencing this wonderful world, thinking that this is the eternal beauty of the world. Cheng Ming watched all this coldly, and two soldiers in his team also ran out, standing in the assembled team in an orderly manner, and in a moment the team was assembled and neatly arranged, and the world returned to silence at the moment.
