Chapter 363: Where Mars Falls

After a night, after learning the inside story of why Li Qing and the eight of them were here, Meng Tian felt that these eight people would definitely be useful to him to quell the rebels, so he left them behind, and after dawn, rushed to Dongjun with them.

After dawn, after packing up, Meng Tian took the ten soldiers of the Ma Meng family and Li Qing who came to Dongjun with him to Dongjun, but before they reached the county seat of Dongjun, they met Meng Li, who came to greet them.

The news of Meng Tian's arrival in Dongjun was known to Meng Li, and not long after Meng Tian left for Dongjun, the news was transmitted to Dongjun by the iron guards beside Meng Tian. Meng Tian encountered rain on the road, Meng Li didn't know, after calculating the distance and knowing that Meng Tian would arrive in Dongjun in a day, Meng Li was ready early to wait for Meng Tian's arrival. But yesterday from the afternoon until dark, Meng Tian did not appear at the gate of Dongjun City, which made Meng Li a little worried. Now the situation in Dongjun is different from the past, there are rebels outside the city, and from time to time there are bandits and robbers entrenched in the surrounding mountains will also come out to take advantage of the fire to rob, Mengli received the news that Meng Tian only brought ten Mengjia soldiers this time, if there is any accident on the road, I am afraid that their strength will not be the opponent of those traitors and bandits, so after dawn, Mengli took people out of Dongjun City and looked for Meng Tian on the road from Linzi to Dongjun.

The two teams met twenty miles away from the county seat of Dongjun, and after seeing that Meng Tian was safe and sound, Meng Li breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly dismounted to greet Meng Tian.

"The last general bowed to the general!" Meng Li did not bow down on one knee in the Qin army, but just bowed to Meng Tian and clenched his fists.

Meng Tian was very happy to see Meng Li, he and Meng Li went from enemies to friends, and then to good brothers who can be entrusted with life and death, they have not seen each other for more than two years, and they are very happy to meet this time.

"What is the big brother doing, are there any outsiders here, why should you be so polite between you and my brothers. Meng Tian walked up to Meng Li, held Meng Li's arms, and said to him with a smile.

Meng Li straightened his waist, and a smile appeared on his face, without saying a word, he hugged Meng Tian directly. Meng Li and Meng Tian are nearly ten years apart, Meng Li has regarded Meng Jiajun as his home since he joined the Meng Family Army, Meng Li is even closer than his own brother in his eyes, and the relationship between the two is extraordinary.

The two separated, Meng Li looked at Meng Tian, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for more than two years, you are still the same, brother I can't do it, you see, there are already white hairs on both sides." As he spoke, Meng Li took off the helmet he was wearing on his head and pointed to the position of his temples.

Meng Tian looked at the white hair growing on Meng Li's temples, and knew that Meng Li had led his troops to quell the rebellion in Dongjun in the past two years, and he must have worked very hard. "The eldest brother is tired, although the matter of Dongjun is not very big, but it has always affected the heart of His Majesty the Emperor, so this time the younger brother came, firstly, to descend on Mars that day, and secondly, to help my brother eliminate the traitors in this area of Dongjun. ”

"Okay, as soon as you come to me, you will be much more relieved to be the eldest brother. In the past two years, I have dealt with those traitors in East County, but I have never found a chance to wipe them out, and in the long run, I have fallen into a tug-of-war with them, seeking opportunities. Meng Li said.

Meng Tian patted Meng Li's arm, then pointed to Li Qing and the others who were following them, and introduced to Meng Li: "Nuo, big brother, please look, this is the magic weapon I brought you to destroy the rebels." ”

Li Qing and the others washed their faces after getting up early and cleaned up their appearance, at this time, in Meng Li's opinion, except for the tattered clothes they were wearing, they all looked yellow and thin, how could they destroy the rebels?

Looking at Meng Li's somewhat puzzled expression, Meng Li didn't say anything, but said, "Let's go, let's go to the city first, and I'll slowly talk to my eldest brother about the betrayal." ”

When he arrived at Dongjun Town, Meng Tian couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the appearance of Dongjun Town. As a county city, even if the city walls were not as good as those of the other big cities that were originally among the six kingdoms before, they were not comparable to the earthen walls of other towns. At this time, the city wall of Dongjun City will actually become dilapidated, and some places have even been smashed open, which is worse than the city wall of Yiqu that Meng Tian saw when he first arrived in Yiqu.

Meng Tian was dumbfounded on his horse, and only after a long time did he ask Meng Li: "Big brother, how did the city wall of Dongjun become like this......?"

Meng Li was also a little speechless when he looked at the city wall, but since Meng Tian asked, he had to answer: "The general doesn't know, this Dongjun city wall was originally very strong, and it is far from the tragic situation it is today. The reason why this wall became like this is because a few months ago, the rebels gathered robbers and bandits in the nearby mountains, totaling nearly 50,000 horses, and wanted to attack Dongjun. In the city of Dongjun, plus the 10,000 soldiers of the Mengjia army I brought, as well as more than 5,000 soldiers who were originally stationed here, more than 15,000 people, it was very difficult to defend the city in the face of three times the enemy who was with me, plus the other party got three trebuchets out of nowhere, and stormed the wall of Dongjun for a day and a night, and after one night, the wall of Dongjun was broken like this. ”

Meng Li only said that he had attacked and defended the rebel army and the bandits and bandits for a day and a night, but he did not say how many men had been lost.

Meng Tian was silent, he got off the horse, led the horse and walked slowly into the city of Dongjun, behind him Meng Li and everyone else dismounted and led the horse.

Because it was to defend the city and quell the rebellion, the military camp of the Mengjia army was not set up outside the city of Dongjun, but inside the city. Meng Tian led the horse and walked on the streets of Dongjun City, the pedestrians on the road and the merchants who set up stalls on both sides of the road, looking at Meng Tian and the Qin soldiers in armor and holding swords behind him, their eyes were full of fear, and everyone consciously gave the way to these people.

"General, Lord Cheng Ma has already prepared a banquet for the general in the county guard's mansion, shall we go to the county guard's mansion first?"

Meng Tian looked at the sky, and the sun had not yet risen at this time. "Well, it's still early at this time, and this is my banquet, a little early. By the way, big brother, where did that Mars fall from the sky, I want to go there first to see. ”

Hearing Meng Tian say that he wanted to see the Mars that fell from the sky first, Meng Li was a little nervous, and he didn't know how to say it to Meng Tian.

"What, is there anything inconvenient about this?" Meng Tian asked with some confusion without getting an answer from Meng Li's mouth.

Meng Li shook his head and said, "No, it's just ......"

"Just what?"

Meng Li calmed down for a moment and said, "The general doesn't know that the place where Mars fell from the sky has been guarded by the county guard, and all the civilians around him who know about this matter have been arrested, and he said that no one is allowed to take half a step near this Mars without his order. The last general only saw this Mars at that time after it fell, and never saw it again. ”

"Why?" Meng Tian felt a little strange, could it be that there was something strange about this Mars.

Meng Li shook his head, "I don't know much about the specific situation, I only know that only one night, it was originally guarded around Mars by the soldiers of my Meng family, and not long after dawn the next day, Lord Ma transferred all of us back to the city on the grounds that the soldiers of the Meng family army needed to guard the county town of Dongjun, and handed over the matter of guarding Mars to the soldiers of Dongjun." ”

It seems that this Mars is really not that simple, otherwise, why not use the Mengjia Army, which is all equipped and military strength above the East County garrison, to guard Mars, but use his most trusted East County garrison soldiers.

This Mars is so mysterious that Meng Tian's curiosity is even more aroused, and he now wants to see how this Mars is different.

"General, should we go to the county guard mansion to talk to Master Ma first?" Meng Li, who was familiar with Meng Tian's temperament, knew what he was paying attention to when he saw that Meng Tian didn't speak.

Meng Tian turned to look at the eldest brother who was older than him, and said, "No, let's go directly to the place where Mars fell, this is my first task in Dongjun, I don't think that Lord Ma should mind." ”

"I don't know. Meng Li said.

Meng Tian asked Meng Li to lead the way in front, and the group walked through the streets of Dongjun City and exited the city through another Dongjun City Gate.

Mars fell to the southeast of the town of Higashire, a plain full of crops. At this time, it was also the time to harvest the grain growing in the land, and the field should have been a hard-working peasant woman, but at this time, the ground was covered with ashes, as if something had been burned, and a few tents were set up in the distance, and you could clearly see that there were many Qin troops with weapons patrolling around the tents.

Seeing Meng Tian and the others coming on horseback, the Qin troops guarding this place blocked their way. "Who dares to trespass on the forbidden area?"

"Why, you don't even know me anymore?" Meng Li drove forward and walked in front of Qin Jun who was blocking the road and asked.

Meng Li had been in Dongjun for two years, and everyone here knew that this was a general with the same great achievements in the Mengjia army, so as soon as Meng Tian stood up, the momentum of the Qin soldiers who stood in the way suddenly became a little shorter.

"It turned out to be General Meng Limeng, disrespectful and disrespectful. A voice sounded from behind the soldiers of the Qin Army blocking the way, and a man who was also wearing armor and holding a sword walked towards Meng Tian and them.

Meng Li was on his horse, and at a glance he saw the man who was speaking, and said, "I should think it was Who, it turned out to be General Ma." ”

"Yes, it's the last general. The man walked up to Meng Tian, and although his words were said to Meng Li, his eyes were fixed on Meng Tian, who did not speak.
