At the northern foot of Lishan Mountain, countless people in ragged clothes are driving the mountain road between piles of rocks. Vertex Novel Updates Fastest
A few soldiers in armor and holding weapons stood among the rioters and urged them from time to time.
The late emperor's main tomb palace has been buried, but the peripheral burial pits and part of the outer city wall have not yet been completed, so they are still rushing to work.
It was time to eat, and the prisoner who drove the rock slowly stopped. The food distributed from above is only half a piece of dry food and a bowl of water.
The prisoners seemed to be used to it, and most of them found an empty place to eat after taking the food.
Everyone was unkempt, and their clothes were soaked with sweat. His face was covered with mud and sweat. It looks like gray and black.
A man in a short shirt sat down with dry food and water, looked at the soldiers in the distance, and saw that the soldiers were far away, so he lowered his head and cursed.
"Damn."
A person next to him glanced at him, lowered his head and took a bite of the dry food in his hand: "What's wrong?"
The man held up a small half of dry food in his hand: "We only ate this after working for a day. Is this going to starve people to death?"
The person on the side pursed his lips. He obviously didn't have enough to eat, but he just sighed and said, "What can I do?"
As he spoke, he looked at the soldiers in the distance, and his eyes fell on their weapons.
Looking at the dry food in his hand again, he smiled wryly and said, "It's not bad to have a bite."
Then he looked suspiciously at the man who spoke first: "Brother, how did you come in, why haven't I seen you in this camp?"
The man bit his mouth resentfully: "I'm Korean, I was arrested"
He didn't make it very clear, but the people on the side nodded, and there was almost no need to ask clearly about those who would be sent here.
The man lowered his head: "After the Qin State captured the territory of these six countries, the people of our six countries fled to the death."
That being said, the people on the side didn't know what it was like outside, but their eyes were red, probably worried about what he was entangled in that old place.
"Hey." The man suddenly looked at the person beside him and said, "Do you know how many guards there are?"
The people on the side froze for a moment, frowned and said, "You'd better stop asking about such things, it's terrible."
"No." The man pointed to himself: "I know, I saw it when I came in."
As the man spoke, the people around him seemed to turn their ears slightly to listen.
"There are only tens of thousands of people guarding us in this land, and what about us?"
He looked around, stretched out two fingers, and said in a low voice, "Two hundred thousand."
The surroundings fell silent, and some people stopped chewing dry food, but then returned to normal, each doing their own things.
Only the man who spoke first looked around and asked.
"You guys, have you ever thought about escaping?"
No one answered him, but there was a bit of strangeness in everyone's eyes.
After a period of time, there were such a group of people in the various prison camps talking about their plans to flee, and it gradually seemed that everyone was talking about each other.
until one night.
A torch was lifted out of the night, and the flames lit up the night.
The incident in Chen county was not settled yet, but the prisoners in Lishan rebelled, and 200,000 prisoners escaped from Lishan overnight. Killed more than ten thousand soldiers guarding them, and ran northward with their armor.
The 200,000 prisoners seemed to be scattered and disorderly, as if they were led by someone to rob the pass in chaos along the way, plundering food.
However, the Guanzhong Army has no time to control them, and rebels from the six countries are everywhere.
In the land of the state of Qin, there was chaos outside the pass, and the people mourned everywhere, while in the land in the middle of the pass, there were prisoners and soldiers who caused chaos and injured the people.
There is no news from the army of Baiyue, and the world mourns.
The yellow sand outside the pass is long, that is, the light yellow that is full of smoke and dust in the midair.
A few dry grasses stretched out on the dry ground, either being rolled up by the wind, or left swaying.
Meng Tian was sitting in the tent in the army, and a person outside the tent opened the curtain and came in.
He looked at the door, it was Meng Yi who walked into the military tent.
"What's the matter?" Meng Tian asked in a deep voice.
Meng Yi walked up to Meng Tian, saluted and said: "The food in the county is not enough for a few days, I'm afraid"
Meng Tian waved his hand, didn't let him continue, but asked: "Is the food aid yet to arrive?"
Looking in front of him, Meng Yi opened his mouth a little and then closed it again, without speaking, with a calm expression on his face.
Noticing his appearance, Meng Tian raised his head and asked calmly, "What do you want to say?"
"General." Meng Yi said with a deep wry smile.
"Nowadays there are chaos in the country, and there is no time to take care of the Northland, so there is no help."
"Shut up." Frowning, Meng Tian interrupted Meng Yi's words.
He looked at Meng Yi and said, "You don't need to talk about the affairs of the country, there will be food aid, before your Majesty orders, we just need to keep the Huns."
"But, General." Meng Yi wanted to say something else.
"Okay." Meng Tian raised his eyes and looked at him and said.
"I just need to understand one thing, unless His Majesty calls me back for help. Otherwise, just keep here and don't let the Huns step in."
"Even if there is no food, we must hold on."
Meng Yi looked at Meng Tian, Meng Tian's voice was not heavy, but the determination in his eyes was that there was no retreat.
Meng Yi sighed, as if letting go of something.
He lowered his head, put his hands in front of his body and said resolutely, "Yes."
There are mountain roads on both sides.
A whole convoy was walking on the main road, the horses pulled in front of the cart were dressed roughly, and the ruts were deep, so it could be seen that the things being transported were quite heavy. However, the goods on the cart were all covered by thick cloth, so it was impossible to see what was inside.
The vehicles in the convoy are connected end to end, stretching for a long distance, and it is impossible to count how many vehicles there are.
There were soldiers on both sides of the team, and the soldiers looked at the mountain roads on both sides, but there was nothing on the mountain road.
The sound of the convoy advancing was very loud, the sound of horseshoes and wheels echoed in the valley mixed with the sound, the people in the team seldom spoke, only the boring soldiers who walked occasionally would catch up with each other.
A stone rolled down from the mountain road for unknown reasons and landed on the side of the convoy.
No one will care about this stone, just follow the stone.
There was a howl from the mountain road on both sides of the road.
Then, countless figures rushed out from behind the mountain, holding swords in their hands, and rushed down the mountain, killing the soldiers on both sides of the convoy.
