Liu Muzhi looked at Liu Yu in surprise: "Who did you see? Someone you know?"
Liu Yu cast his eyes on the man with a dark face and a resolute look who was walking in the front, and said: "The leader is called Yanzhi. He is from Pengcheng. When I was in Shouchun City, this man brought a group of fellow villagers. No. If you are willing to be a subject of Qin, just like Pingzi and others, I went all the way south to Shouchun City. At that time, I also took Liu Tingyun to Shouchun City for marriage. Later, the Qin army came and I guarded the city in Shouchun. This happened to Yanzhi As a civilian husband, I joined the army defending the city and helped me a lot. When Shouchun City fell, I escaped alone. I didn’t know their whereabouts. I didn’t expect that I would be a prisoner of war of the Qin army and be publicly announced on this stage. It’s auctioned! No, this is absolutely not possible, how can our soldiers and civilians of the Jin Dynasty be prisoners of the Qin State? "
Before Liu Yu finished speaking, two teenagers aged thirteen or fourteen were also pushed onto the stage. Yanzhi immediately took a few steps back and stopped those who were scolding and pushing the two teenagers. Soldiers and several companions immediately gathered around and protected the two teenagers.
Liu Yu was even more surprised now, and opened his mouth wide. The two teenagers looked at Liu Yu from a distance, almost crying in anxiety, and shouted: "Master, Master, save us!"
Liu Yu walked out without saying a word. These two young men were none other than the two apprentices he had accepted in Shouchun City, brothers Zhu Lingshi and Zhu Chaoshi. At that time, Shouchun City fell, and he was almost captured in Shouchun City. It was with the help of Murong Lan and the Zhu family brothers that he escaped through the Zhu family's tunnel. He thought that when they arrived in Hu Bin's army, the two brothers would be able to escape. He was safe, but he didn't expect that he would also become a prisoner.
Liu Yu walked onto the stage without saying a word. Wang Mi's expression changed. Several soldiers on one side stepped forward and stopped Liu Yu. Wang Mi curled his lips and said, "Master Liu, this is an auction. Buyers cannot come to the stage, this is a decree of the imperial court, please abide by it."
Liu Yu shook his head, pointed at Dao Yanzhi and others and said, "Secretary Wang, is there any misunderstanding? These people are our soldiers and civilians in the Jin Dynasty. Why were they put up for auction as prisoners of the Qin army?"
A trace of confusion flashed across Wang Mi's face, he looked at the book in his hand, turned to Yanzhi and asked, "Did you call Yanzhi?"
Dao Yanzhi quickly said loudly: "I am Dao Yanzhi, a native of Pengcheng. I am a citizen of the Jin Dynasty. During the defense battle of Shouchun City, we and other civilians who came south from Pengcheng all joined the defense of Shouchun City. Our team was led by Liu Yu and Zhu Zhu Liu at that time (Yanzhi didn’t know that Liu Yu had been promoted to military leader). If you don’t believe me, you can ask General Xu Yuanxi and he can also testify for us.”
Having said this, Yanzhi pulled over brothers Zhu Lingshi and Zhu Chaoshi, pointed at these two people, and said loudly to the audience: "Look, everyone, these two children are Zhu Chuozhu from our Shouchun City." The general's son is also the apprentice of Liu Yu and Master Liu. After they relied on tunnels to protect Master Liu to break out of the siege, they couldn't care less about the safety of our brothers in the city and sneaked back into the city to find us. They were discovered by the Qin army, just like us. Trapped in the Qin camp."
Only then did Liu Yu understand why the Zhu brothers were here. He looked at the Zhu Lingshi brothers. These two former young masters were now disheveled, with tired looks on their faces. They were dark and thin and looked like they had eaten. Liu Yu felt sad for a moment as he had never endured hardship in his life, and quickly said: "Good disciple, you have suffered."
Zhu Lingshi's eyes were sparkling with tears, but he held back the tears. He even forced out a smile: "It's okay, Master. If we can hold on, we know that Master will definitely come to save us!"
Wang Mi frowned and said: "General Liu, although these people are your old acquaintances, they were captured on the battlefield after all. Many of the Qin Army prisoners of war being auctioned here were coerced by them. Among the people of the Jin Dynasty, some are prisoners of war and some are ordinary people. If all of them have to be divided equally, I am afraid that everyone will say that they were unjustly accused, and then the auction will not be able to continue."
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly and he looked at Wang Mi: "Secretary Wang, everything in this world must be explained in a rational way. I don't know about other people's affairs, but this one, Guo Yanzhi, his brothers, and mine I know very well that our two apprentices did not want to serve the Qin State, so they risked their lives and went south to help us defend the city. They are the righteous men of the Jin Dynasty. Because of the traitor's betrayal, the city fell into the enemy's hands. We Fei Isn't the purpose of Shui Dasheng to defeat the Qin army and rescue our people of Jin Dynasty? Why should they be auctioned off as slaves instead?"
"There are also the Zhu brothers. They are the sons of my dignified General Jin. You know this situation here and still treat them as prisoners of war for auction. Aren't you afraid that General Zhu will come back and fight for you?"
Xie Xuan's voice sounded calmly: "Secretary Wang, it seems that there are some misunderstandings about this matter, but it is no wonder that with hundreds of thousands of Qin army prisoners of war, some mistakes will inevitably happen. Since Master Liu said so, I suggest that we let these people go first. It is better to withdraw from the auction and wait until the truth is found out later before making a decision."
Wang Mi gritted his teeth and looked back at Dao Yanzhi: "How did you get captured by the Qin army, and then how did you get captured by our Jin Dynasty? Also, the Zhu brothers are only thirteen or fourteen-year-old children, how could you do this?" To be auctioned off among these adult prisoners of war?"
A voice sounded coldly from the tent mat at the rear: "Because these people are fierce and aggressive people. When they were captured on the battlefield, they were wearing the clothes of Qin soldiers and were in the Qin army's supply camp. , formed a formation to fight, and this one was the leader, and he wounded more than ten of our soldiers. As for these two young men, they were holding slingshots at the time, but their shots were perfect. Even my two personal guards One of their eyes was blinded by them."
Everyone looked at the source of the sound, and saw a thirty-seven or eighteen-year-old, handsome, well-maintained young man from an aristocratic family, slowly lifting the curtains and coming out. His figure was heroic and upright, yet elegant. With a more capable military temperament, isn't it Xie An's own son, Xie Yan, the commander of the left army in the Battle of Feishui?
Xie Xuan also stood up and walked out of the pergola. Xie Yan walked over step by step. The two cousins, the chief and deputy commander of the battle formation came together, and their expressions were a little unnatural. Xie Xuan He said calmly: "Yuandu (Xie Yan's nickname), when did you come? You didn't even say hello."
