3, recruit surrender
"Okay, you big boss, you're really a tough guy. Even God can't take you back. It seems that everyone will still have to grab meat in the same pot in the future!"
Hearing Yan Xing's usual interesting words, everyone couldn't help but feel warm inside. What kind of words are needed for good men to interact with each other. As long as one word is in line with one's temperament, no matter how hard or tired you are, everyone can bear it together.
Gan Ling, who was standing behind Ma Lin, looked at Yan Xing's arrival. Although he felt the burden on his shoulders loose, he felt a sense of worry. During the last breakout at that time, he followed Yan Xing to rush out of the siege. He also shouted loudly to Yan Xing, "You are a hero in the world, how can you die here easily? There are no Ling and others in the world, and you must go quickly! Go quickly!"
Although Yan Xing returned to everyone, letting the remaining brothers who were shaking in the predicament see a glimmer of hope, the problems that followed also bothered him.
Even Yan Xing, who everyone regarded as the backbone, was captured. What hope does these remnants have?
The people here were complicated and not a place to speak their hearts. Gan Ling resisted the inquiry and asked Yan Xing and they to return to the shed where the remaining people gathered temporarily. Yan Xing nodded and turned around to greet the twelve mountain people including Hutou and Daniu. They were all captured in this prisoner camp like Yan Xing. After Yan Xing briefly introduced them to Gan Ling, Ma Lin and others, the group of people broke away from the new captives and walked towards the temporary shed.
After arriving at the shed, Yan Xing saw Yan Xing lying on a broken mat. Although Yan Xing's face was not very good, Yan Xing was still very happy when he saw his surviving subordinate. He quickly asked Yan Xing, who wanted to get up, to lie down, and personally checked the healing of the injuries on his thighs, before he felt relieved and told him to recover with peace of mind.
The other subordinates who rushed over after hearing the news soon surrounded the shed. They were all the troops who followed Yan Xing through life and death in the past two years. They had a deep respect and love for Yan Xing, who once led them to victory. Now that they saw Yan Xing return to them again, they immediately felt the hope.
People always need a strong backbone in difficult situations. Everyone has lived a life worse than pigs and dogs in the captive camp these days, and people's hearts have long been fluctuating. Now Yan Xing's return has once again ignited the fire of hope in everyone's heart. Although they didn't say anything, Yan Xing could see the hopes these passionate men have placed on him from their hopes.
Yes, Yan Xing, was the same. He gathered the former team again in this chaotic and dirty prisoner camp. Although the number was already very small, he still felt the hope of breaking the deadlock. He belonged here and was one of these passionate men from Liangzhou. As long as he could lead them again, he would definitely be able to create miracles again!
Yan Xing talked to these surviving old subordinates one by one, just like before. He did not need to loudly motivate or make promises in person. As long as he conveyed his spirit of never accepting fate and never giving up to everyone's heart through face-to-face conversations, everyone would like Ma Lin to believe that Yan Xing could lead them to resist all the difficulties in front of him.
Late at night, after witnessing their young king and military officer returning, every old subordinate was very excited. They picked up some dead branches and leaves, lit a bonfire around the shed, and rebuilt their backbone, Yan Xing.
And in the middle of this reunited guard circle, a meeting of rising in dilemma began like countless military controversies in the past, in the light and dark light.
Yan Xing sat under the broken shed, his eyes were bright and his expression was calm. He was surrounded by several remaining old subordinates, including Ganling, Ma Lin, Yan Xing, Xiao Wei, etc. In addition to Yan Shun, Yan Xing had just learned from Gan Ling that although Yan Shun was unable to successfully deceive the generals of the Han army, he also led some of the enemy's forces. The men who were ready to die fought to the last moment and shed the last drop of blood on their bodies. Their faces hanging on the head of the horse, which was cut off by the enemy, still retained the tough look before they died.
He was filled with grief for the deceased, but Yan Xing could no longer be affected by grief. His blood and tears over the past few days made his heart complete a strong transformation. When he returned again, he would have to rise again with the survivors.
"Aling, are you saying that the Han army wants to surrender us in this way?"
Yan Xing looked at Gan Ling's thin face and asked seriously.
Gan Ling had just told Yan Xing that they thought they would die after being trapped in the Han army's encirclement. Unexpectedly, after the general led the Han army to defeat their final resistance, he did not kill them, but forced them to put down their weapons and captured them. Later, he came to this prisoner camp. Although the Han army was abducting the original rebel prisoners and instigating them to commit revenge, they were also surrendering these elites who were once among the rebels. The entire prisoner camp was originally stuffed with four or five thousand people one after another, but now there were only about two thousand. Basically, except for those who died of injuries, the rest were picked up by the generals and officials of the Han army.
Therefore, based on the judgments obtained by Gan Ling over the past few days, he was sure that these Han soldiers wanted to take the remnants of these rebels for their own use. Therefore, the Han army changed their past habit of killing surrenders. Except for the stubborn and swearing to surrender, some other elite rebels were kept.
In the face of Yan Xing's inquiry, Gan Ling nodded. This strange atmosphere in the prisoner camp actually made him unable to calm down. Although he felt that the Han army would not seem to kill them this time, who can be sure that those who survived must be no more painful than death?
Next, Ma Lin, Yan Xing, and Xiao Wei also added some things in the prisoner camp. After listening to the information reported by his subordinates one by one, Yan Xing did not speak immediately. He pondered for a moment, and the scene of the scene where he was deeply trapped after the oxtail gathering fell.
···
A young general came forward with his expression constantly changing. After looking at Yan Xing and the remaining mountain people for a while, he focused his eyes on Yan Xing and asked with a joking smile:
"You are now deeply trapped in a siege, not as smart as possible, not as brave as angry as you are, and want to die or live?"
Although Yan Xing was in a desperate situation, the other party only needed a command, and he and these twelve mountain villagers instantly ended up with thousands of arrows piercing their hearts, but his performance was still neither humble nor arrogant. He said with a smile:
"I have no life to live, and I will not take refuge in death. Today I will die if I die in a state of disparity. Even if my body and head are different, I will have no regrets! The fate of life and death depends on you. How dare we, the mountain village men, dare to ask for something extravagant!"
After hearing Yan Xing's words, the young general's eyes lit up. He also judged from his accent that the other party was Liangren, so he continued to ask:
"You are not like a man from the mountains and fields. Could it be that you escaped from the rebels in Liangzhou?"
“That’s right!”
Before he died, Yan Xing did not intend to hide his origin. He looked at the young general holding a bow and arrow, waiting for the final battle, but the result was beyond everyone's expectations. The young general did not take action. He signaled Yan Xing to put down his weapon, sighed and said:
"There are so many talents among the Liang people. I didn't expect that there would be dragons and snakes in this mountainous country!"
