"Get up, all of them stand up!" Before dawn, Mr. Cui was awakened by a rude shouting. Then a Song army broke in. The leader of the Song general glanced at the prisoners of war, and then pointed at the prisoners of war one by one and said, "You, you, you, you..., all of them left here with me!"

After saying that, General Song turned around and left. The prisoners of war he ordered were all dead, and many people didn't want to leave. However, the soldiers behind General Song rushed up like wolves and tigers, kicked and beat the prisoners who were unwilling to leave, and then pulled them away very rudely. After seeing the Song army leaving, the remaining prisoners of war were relieved.

Mr. Cui looked at the prisoners who were pulled away, but his face showed a thoughtful expression. This was not the first time that the Song army had come to the prisoner-of-war camp to recruit people. Almost every few days during this period, the Song army would come to the prisoner-of-war camp to select some prisoners of war. Most of the selected prisoners of war were strong and gone forever. No one knew where they went. This caused the prisoner-of-war camp to discuss their whereabouts. Many people even thought that the Song Dynasty was executing them in batches. As a result, the rumor made the prisoner-of-war camp a little turbulent. Unfortunately, when they were holding weapons, they were not the Song army's move, let alone now that they were unarmed. Therefore, although the prisoner-of-war camp was in agitation, no one dared to resist because of this.

At the beginning, Mr. Cui thought that the Song army really wanted to execute them in batches, but later he slowly observed that the number of people selected by the Song army was fixed, usually about 200 people each time. Compared with their number of more than 20,000 people, if the Song army wanted to execute them in batches, these 200 people would be too small. After all, the strength of the Song army was there. If it were the Song army, at most, it would only take three batches to divide the prisoners of war into all the safe and effective execution.

In addition, Mr. Cui also keenly discovered that although the Song army who came to select prisoners of war were vicious, they had no murderous aura on their bodies, and they only selected strong prisoners of war. The remaining prisoners of war would be well taken care of, and even the injured prisoners of war were started to be treated by military doctors in the Song army. In addition, the prisoners of war camps could also ensure that they had two meals a day. Although the meal was not very good, they could at least eat half full. This was a very good treatment for prisoners of war, so if the Song army really wanted to kill them, there was no need to waste medicine and food like this.

Thinking of the above, Mr. Cui finally settled down. In addition, he even hoped that he could be selected as soon as possible, because he had been in this prison camp for almost half a month, and he could only live under the custody of the Song army every day. He had no freedom at all, and he could not find a chance to escape. However, if he could be picked out of the prison camp, he might find a chance to escape. Unfortunately, he was old and thin, and the Song army seemed to be giving priority to the selection of strong prisoners of war. So he had never been selected.

However, Mr. Cui did not wait too long. Soon he found that the Song army came to pick people faster and faster, and sometimes several batches came a day. This also made the number of people in the prisoner-of-war camp less and less. In the end, only the elderly, weak, sick and disabled were left. Some of the disabled were eliminated. The remaining people, including Mr. Cui, were all picked out at one time.

There were more than a thousand prisoners of war selected together this time. Mr. Cui was not very prominent in the crowd. During this period, he stayed in the barracks and was not allowed to run around. The prisoners around him did not recognize him, so he did not reveal his true identity, which also made Mr. Cui feel relieved. Even Shi Fozi was dead. I guess even those Song soldiers had heard of him. I am afraid that he would have thought he had died in the chaos.

Mr. Cui followed the Song army in front of him out of the prisoner-of-war camp. The moment he walked out of the prisoner-of-war camp, he took a deep breath and felt that the days of imprisonment were finally over. Although he didn't know what the Song army had to do with them, it was much better than staying in the prisoner-of-war camp and being monitored and risking his identity being exposed.

However, in comparison, the other prisoners of war were a little nervous, especially many people had heard of the rumors that the Song army wanted to execute them in batches. Now none of the prisoners of war left the country came back, which made many people believe in the authenticity of the rumor. Therefore, when they walked out of the prisoner-of-war camp, most prisoners of war were nervous, and some even talked about it. Finally, the Song army who was guarding them was scolded by a few words, and then they slowly calmed down.

Mr. Cui was very familiar with the terrain of Hangzhou. Although he had never been to Hangzhou, when he suggested to Shi Fozi to attack Hangzhou, he had asked someone to find out about the terrain of Hangzhou and its surroundings. So as soon as he left the prisoner-of-war camp, he found that these people did not enter the city under the leadership of the Song army. They followed the city walls of Hangzhou for a short half circle and finally walked straight east. This surprised Mr. Cui, because he knew that there should be a port on the east side of Hangzhou. Could it be that these people were sent to the ship to transport overseas? If this is true, it would be no wonder that the people before did not come back.

I have to say that Mr. Cui was keen and guessed the truth of the matter at once. When they arrived at the port, they saw that there were ships of all sizes docked in the port. Among them, there were several large ships standing in front of the large ships. It was obvious that the soldiers of the Song army were used to transport them. At this time, some smart people among the prisoners of war also saw something. They were all happy and began to discuss again, but the Song army who escorted them this time did not scold them again.

Next, the Song army generals who were escorting prisoners of war came forward and handed over to the court, the Song army general who was guarding the ship. Then Mr. Cui and his prisoners were divided into about a hundred people and then escorted onto the ship one by one. This made Mr. Cui finally understand that the number of prisoners of war selected by the Song army in the past was small, probably because the ships transported had not been mobilized, so there were relatively few ships. However, later, more and more ships were mobilized, so the speed of selecting prisoners of war naturally accelerated.

Mr. Cui followed a group of people to the ship, but he found that the ship was transporting them was very large. The prisoners of war of the hundred people were detained in the bottom cabin. Although it was very crowded, there was at least a place to sleep. In addition, when he was on the ship just now, Mr. Cui paid attention and found that the cabins on the two floors above were also empty. He estimated that there were Song troops who would be on the boat and walked with them.

Sure enough, not long after Mr. Cui and his friends were locked up in the cabin below, they heard a neat running sound from the dock. Then General Song issued an order outside. Then, teams of Song soldiers began to board the ship. From the sound of footsteps, they could hear that there were a large number of Song soldiers boarding the ship. It was estimated that there were one or two hundred people on their ship alone. However, with so many Song soldiers boarding the ship, there were no sounds of Song soldiers outside, and there were no other noises. This made Mr. Cui sigh, thinking that Shi Fozi was defeated and that it was not unfair to rely on the Song army's strict military discipline alone, the Manichaeism rebels could not win.

Although the number of Song troops boarded the ship was more than the number of prisoners of war, the boarding speed was very fast. In a short while, the ships transporting prisoners of war and the Song army were already full. Then the ship began to anchor and slowly left the port.

Feeling the ship beneath him slowly leaving Hangzhou Port, Mr. Cui gradually became a little nervous. He originally planned to go out of the prisoner-of-war camp to find an opportunity to escape, but now he got on the boat, his plan to escape immediately became impossible. After all, there were sea water around him, and a large number of Song troops on the boat were guarding him. Even if he had all kinds of wisdom, he would not be able to escape under such circumstances.

In addition, Mr. Cui was also very worried about his future fate. The Song army could not send them onto the ship for no reason, and also guaranteed that they would eat and drink, and even beat and scold them. This was obviously not the treatment of ordinary prisoners of war. From this, it can be inferred that these prisoners of war should be very useful to the Song army, but for this reason, Mr. Cui was even more worried because he was worried that the Song army's arrangements for them might be unpredictable dangers.

However, Mr. Cui soon had no time to consider his future fate, because not long after he got on the boat, many people began to experience seasickness, and they vomited all over the cabin. Mr. Cui was not seasick, but when he saw many people vomiting, the vomiting sound was like a magical sound in his ears, and coupled with the pungent smell, he gradually felt dizzy, and he couldn't help but vomit.

Seasickness is actually contagious, especially in a relatively closed space. In the end, almost all prisoners of war showed symptoms of seasickness, which made the Song army on the ship pay attention to it. After all, the cabin is full of vomit, and if it is not handled, it may cause an epidemic.

So on the second day after going out to sea, Mr. Cui and his prisoners were allowed to leave the cabin and go to the deck. In addition, the Song army selected some of the prisoners of war to stay in the cabin for cleaning. Mr. Cui was old and weak, fortunately, he was not selected to clean the cabin. When he came to the deck and blew the sea breeze, he felt much better.

However, not long after Mr. Cui came to the deck, he found that there were some Song soldiers standing on the deck above his head, blowing the sea breeze and saying something. This made him happy. He slowly leaned over and then put up his ears to listen to the conversation of the people above, because he wanted to know where the Song army was going to bring them and what the purpose was. These questions may be learned from the Song army's conversation above.

Several Song soldiers on the upper deck were just standing together and chatting. These people were all rough men in the army. When they gathered together, they were just gambling when talking about women. It seemed that there were no valuable clues. However, Mr. Cui listened very seriously. His keen mind made him not miss any useful clues. In the end, he actually analyzed some useful things. (To be continued)
