Although the Great Wall was gradually built since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, that defense line was not possible after all. In the end, the enemy destroyed the Great Wall in the Ming Dynasty, and the enemy attacked countless times, and the soldiers and civilians were robbed at least dozens, and the number of people lost to the nine border towns every year was a terrible number. It is easy to be captured, but it is difficult to be released. However, there are always those young and strong men who are unwilling to be slaves for life to escape from the north. When the three thousand camps were first built during the Yongle period, many of them were fugitives, but now they are far away from the founding of the country. Most of them are not allowed to live in their original homes and change their military status and move them to other places. Not to mention the captured generals, even without various reviews from later generations, they may be dismissed from their posts and even punished them.

What's more, the 126 soldiers this time were shaved and sent back instead of escaping themselves, and this identification was the most important. Because of Xu Xun's words in the daytime, everyone knew that even if they didn't want to go to Wanquan Right Acropolis, naturally no one would choose to be a civilian who could do anything, so they were willing to follow the army. At this moment, they set up camp temporarily, and Xu Xun ordered them to accept the identification. After several rules were announced, there was a slight commotion as soon as they responded.[]

"First, one person has a military status and must have five people he knows to protect. If there is any suspicion, he will be a guarantor. If there is no, he will first go back to the side and wait for the adults to take the lead. Second, every ten people will be temporarily incorporated into a small flag. If one person fled, the other nine people will be held together! Third, if you can tell the truth about the enemy's Xu and his troops, you will be rewarded with merits and return to your military status after returning to the army! Fourth····"

Seeing this situation, Shen Ying, who was watching with his hands on the side, suddenly turned around and arrived outside the big tent of Xu Xun and Zhang Yong, and made a notice. When the sound came in, he bent down and entered the big tent. Seeing that the two of them were surrounding a large map and planning something, he coughed gently. Seeing that Xu Xun and Zhang Yong both looked up, he bowed his hand.

"Mr. Xu, Eunuch Zhang, in the past, someone fled back to the north, had to investigate for several months. Now we have to take so many of them on the road, so we are afraid we have to be more careful. Even if they make contributions in the future, they cannot easily be less careful. I think there was an old story when the official guarding the magic gun was cut off when he was drunk.

Lord Xu’s identification is considered rigorous. However, I mean another one. If a single soldier is unprotected, he will immediately take the person in Zhangjiakou Fort, otherwise the risk will be too great!”

"What Zuo Shen General said is that we don't need to take this risk. According to my opinion, when I arrive at Zhangjiakou Fort, we will just stay together and guard it." Zhang Yong nodded immediately and agreed, and looked at Xu Xun again, "Mr. Xu, let alone these many people are ragged and don't even have shoes, nor do they talk about military weapons. They just say that they were robbed by the enemy for so many days, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced. Besides, their minds have been taken away, even if they are intact, they may still be burdened when they are in real battle."

Shen Ying said this, Zhang Yong said this, and Xu Xun was silent without realizing it. Of course, he knew the reason why Ci was not in charge of the army, and now he could not make any mistake. If there were spies among the more than a hundred people who were really involved in the spies who were trapped in by the enemy, or if there were those who were greedy for life and fear of death and would cause trouble to the morale of the army, it would be a huge disaster. However, the big man Wu Dahai cried at that time really made him feel moved. After all, no one could ask that after the defeat of the battle, everyone would fight to the death to the end rather than be captured.

So, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Let's wait for Zhangjiakou Fort to talk about this matter. Now that I have set up camp, I will go around first."

As Xu Xun said that, he nodded and laughed out of the camp. Seeing An Daniu Ruying following him, four people followed closely with the rampant man, he couldn't help but secretly claim to be his promise and immediately continued walking in the camp without looking back.

When choosing a camping site, Zhang Jun and Shen Ying made a decision together. Zhang Jun was the general of the two towns, and Shen Ying had four towns. He had to know more about the surrounding situation. Of course, he would not make any mistakes. After inspecting most of the time, he saw that the captured soldiers were well-disciplined, so he didn't stay too late. After turning for a while, he saw that Zhang Jun came out of the barracks alone, and looked around and suddenly walked to the other side alone. He was curious for a moment, so he slowed down and followed closely.

However, Zhang Jun was quite fast. When he caught up with the man again, An Daniu, who was behind, suddenly coughed heavily. Zhang Jun, who was squatting there, was shocked. Turning his head to see that it was Xu Xun. Zhang Jun, who had already picked up two piles of soil, couldn't help but look embarrassed. After a while, he stood up: "Sir Xu, don't laugh at me for being pretentious. Mu Rong and Zhang Xiong, who died in Yutailing, both have a good relationship with me. They are in their prime, and now there are only orphans and widows left in the family. In addition, I encountered more than a hundred captured enemies today, and I couldn't sit still after thinking about it, so I came here to worship for a few."

Hearing Zhang Jun say this, Xu Xun didn't look back and see what an embarrassing expression An Daniu was behind. After pondering for a moment, he asked: "General Zhang thinks that if the enemy released more than a hundred people, will he let more people go?"

"For them, it is enough to put more than 100 people to promote the momentum. How necessary is it to let more people go. After all, the princes and princes of each tribe like the most are Han slaves. This person is equivalent to a cattle, and countless silver and money are all put back. Wouldn't it be a waste of time to put them back?" At this point, Zhang Jun paused, and saw Xu Xun listening carefully, he couldn't help but add another sentence, "And, it's not me who excused Wu Dahai and the enemy released the people, it would definitely not be more than 100 people. It is very likely that three or five or five or six people here, after all, people will be let go, and then they will go, and more people will be met, and the news will spread more widely, which will make people in Xuanda panic."

Xu Xun had never thought of this before, and suddenly realized it after hearing it.

After thinking for a moment, he smiled at Zhang Jun and said, "I don't know what role this Wu Dahai was in the army before?"

"He was the Qianhu, a vanguard of Xuanfu. He initially only inherited his father's position as the general banner. Later, he followed me and was considered my old subordinate. He has been promoted to Qianhu. He is brave and brave. The most rare thing is that he is quite brave and scheming." Seeing that Xu Xun was already moved, Zhang Jun struck while the iron was hot, "I am a defeated general who made great contributions. We should not be tempted by the reason. But the Lord went to Wanquan Right Acropolis to detect the whereabouts of the enemy. Why not call him to ask first?"

“Okay.”

Xu Xun said these two words, and a shrill scream came from not far behind him, followed by a loud curse and scolding. He was shocked and turned around quickly, but saw An Daniu waved his hand and a guard ran over like a flying one. An Daniu brought the other three people to guard him. After a while, the guard who had just gone to inquire about the situation ran back like a gust of wind.

"The people from Guoyong Camp were searching those people just now, but a kid suddenly launched a sneak attack and was being grabbed and beaten!"

When Xu Xun arrived, he saw seven or eight people punching and kicking around a small man, and many soldiers beside him were shouting and cheering. Not far away, Wu Dahai was reaching out to block several ragged captured soldiers. Faced with this situation, he immediately shouted and stopped. Seeing that the soldiers of Guoyong Camp relentlessly kicked and then spread out, he immediately walked forward with Zhang Jun and asked, "What's going on?"

"Report to the master, we want to search our bodies. This kid not only refused to let us go, but instead pushed our people over!"

Xu Xun was about to answer, but when he saw Shenying also arrived after hearing the news, he simply handed over the sergeant who beat the people to Shenying for treatment. He ordered people to call Wu Dahai and brought the little sergeant with a bruised nose and swollen face to Zhang Jun's military tent. As soon as he sat down, he asked angrily: "Why are you hitting someone?"

Before the little soldier could answer, Wu Dahai, who was beside him, knelt down: "Sir, Xiao Ding ran out of Jianzhou before. Later, after the government identified it, he sent him to Xuanfu to join the army. He had the tattoo and slave marks that the Jianzhou Jurchens had stabbed him on his back, so he was most afraid of being seen."

Xu Xun was originally angry, but when he heard this explanation, he saw the little sergeant suddenly opened his front silence, but his chest was covered with patterns of teeth and claws. As for the imprint, he was not clear. Zhang Jun, who was used to it, frowned and immediately ordered his personal soldiers to take the small sergeant down for the time being. Then he shouted at Wu Dahai: "You know all other people's affairs one by one, but why don't you take your own affairs seriously? Let me tell you again, how did those enemies let you go, tell me the truth! If you dare to have a lie, I will kill you immediately with the military staff, so that I will not worry about you!"

Wu Dahai looked at Zhang Jun who was furious, and then glanced at Xu Xun who was expressionless. After hesitating for a long time, he kowtowed and said, "Sir, there were some untrue things before the humble position! Ge Dazi used to distribute three or four people, and they were all strung together. In addition, they rode horses, we only had two legs, and all of them were thinking that we could not catch up with them. When I was shaved before, I thought about running away. I sharpened a stone early, so when I was put down, I cut off the rope and took three or five people to follow from afar. After stumbled and closed the more than a hundred people. Because I knew that if these three or five people came back, they would be so bald and browless. As long as they were discovered by the parade, they might immediately be Ge Dazi and chopped their heads to make a contribution."

The word "时后" was said, Zhang Jun couldn't help but glance at Xu Xun, and saw that he was not moved at all, so he breathed a little relieved. Wu Dahai seemed to be silent and never stopped, so he said again: "Elder General, you might as well tell the truth. In fact, we have been released for several days. It was me who stopped them and told them not to go back to Xuanfu, but asked someone to pretend to be You Fang to take a vacation certificate and inquire about the news on the way, and learned that the veteran general was mainly at Wanquan Right Guard.

When the city came, it was only then that I came out of the hiding place, in order to find a way out for my brothers to make a living. We were locked up with the soldiers and civilians who were captured by the enemy from Xuanfu this time. Ge Dazi probably felt that we didn't understand their words, or that they knew where they were. The Xuanfu army was defeated and did not dare to attack, so they were not too nervous. So, I knew that looking at the hiding place of our hundreds of Ge Dazis was in the old place of the sand city!"
