Xianyang is cool in autumn, and Shangjun is wrapped in silver.

A long black dragon snaked across the vast land, lying across the silver earth, and countless white barracks were rooted under the dragon.

The faint smoke rising from the sky announced that there were still traces of people in the world.

"Ding Tou, I don't know when I can go home this year, I miss my wife and baby."

"That is to say, Ding Tou, can you please ask the chief when this year's silver money will be issued."

In front of the camp, a group of laborers who had been conscripted to build the Great Wall in Shangjun sat in front of a boiling cauldron, holding bowls and asking questions.

Because this is the second time Lao Ding has come to build the Great Wall, fortunately, he was named by the commanders and became the leader of the fifty brothers, and he took care of these brothers on weekdays, so he was called Ding Tou.

Lao Ding committed an accident at the beginning, and when he came to Shangjun for the first time, he thought that he was going to die at the foot of the Great Wall, like most people.

But what Lao Ding didn't expect was that although the Great Wall was not a bad idea, it was at least food and lodging every day, and six coins could be deducted for one day of service (the money here refers to baht money, and one and a half taels of money is equal to twelve baht coins), if it is not a crime, it is called labor, and you can receive twenty copper coins a month.

At the end of the year, it is equivalent to eight stone grains, which can be said to be a hardship for one person and the whole family will not be hungry in the coming year, which is also the reason why Lao Ding took the initiative to serve for the second time.

Looking at this year's new group of young coolies, Lao Ding was full of emotion in his heart, and said: "Brothers, don't quarrel, this meal is provided by the empire, and I also know that some brothers have made mistakes, but the empire's errand to repair the Great Wall is also to protect our wives, children, and mothers behind us. ”

A young and thin young man replied with a dry smile: "Who said it wasn't, I thought that if I was caught in this ghost place where birds don't, I would die." ”

Lao Ding patted the thin young man with satisfaction and said, "Your kid hasn't married a daughter-in-law yet, although this porridge is a little thinner, let you drink more bowls." ”

"Hehe, Dingtou, your girl is fourteen this year."

Lao Ding's expression changed, and he raised his leg and swept it to the young man's buttocks, and scolded repeatedly: "Get out." ”

Someone couldn't stand it and ridiculed: "Thin monkey, you don't look for urine to take pictures, and you dare to worry about Dingtou's maid." ”

As soon as the words came out, the laborers of the first battalion suddenly burst into laughter.

Such a battalion of 50 workers was scattered throughout the county, and no one knew that they were sweating to defend against the Huns outside the city walls in the vast snow.

Meng Tian stood on the city wall and watched all this happen, a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes, and he looked back and said: "Brother Yi sent a letter, saying that His Majesty went east to Changsha County and met a strange person to save His Majesty from erysipelas, and then His Majesty worshiped him as a national soldier......

The young man next to him looked calm when he heard this, and said lightly: "The Meng family has been loyal and good for generations as the soul of the empire, and now General Meng is guarding the northern frontier, so that the Huns are discouraged. ”

Meng Tian looked at the young man with a different look in his eyes and said, "Doesn't the prince want to know what His Majesty's attitude towards the prince is." ”

"Fusu is the eldest son of his father, and now he can see the people of the empire living and working in peace and contentment, and the ideas of a hundred schools of thought returning to the people, which is enough.

As for who the father wants to appoint as the prince, the father has his own decision, and Fusu cannot interfere and cannot interfere. ”

Looking at the young man in front of him, Meng Tian felt a little lost in his heart, perhaps because of the lack of sharpness, but more of his appreciation for Gongzi Fusu, he arched his hand and said: "Meng Tian believes that Gongzi's mind will definitely be able to make His Majesty appreciate the day." ”

Fu Su smiled lightly, arched his hand and said, "General Meng's appreciation, Fu Su is very lucky," After speaking, he pulled the fur on his body and said: "The weather is too cold, let's go back to the tent," Meng Tian nodded lightly and followed.

A black shadow galloped in the sky, stopped outside the handsome tent surrounded by a wooden fence, and made a 'whoosh' sound, and the horse's hooves stepped on the snow with a string of black marks at his feet.

"Go down, remember to go back to the tent and drink some hot soup."

The kneeling scout was a little moved when he heard this, and bowed: "Thank you, general." ”

Meng Tian loves soldiers like sons, Fusu is common, and when he saw the scouts leaving, he said: "Fusu has been in Shangjun for half a year, and I always see that the general loves soldiers like sons, and I am always happy in my heart." ”

Meng Tian smiled and said: "A soldier is like a sibling, a square is a sharp weapon, and a drive is like an arm." ”

Fusu lightly arched his hand and said, "Fusu has been taught." ”

Meng Tian took out the brocade box sent by the scout urgently, and when he opened the brocade box, Meng Tian's pupils couldn't help but shrink, and he said with some suspicion: "Could it be a new contact method?" ”

Hearing Meng Tian's exclamation, Fusu got up and looked at the brocade box, he was also so surprised that he frowned, and said in his mouth: "It's not a military black dragon scroll, let alone a fire paint dossier, I don't know what my father meant." ”

The palm-sized booklet was sealed with fire paint, lying quietly in the brocade box, Meng Tian looked at Fusu with some surprise, and said, "According to the scout, this was sent by Meng Yi himself. ”

Fusu opened the fire paint, Meng Tian gently turned around and walked to the door of the tiger tent, looking at the snow outside the tent with deep eyes and calming down.

"Iron and blood to suppress the troubled times, and the mountains and rivers are broken gently. Punish Wu'er to supervise the construction of the Great Wall, and if you know your own mistakes, you can also set off for Beijing on the same day.

Winter is coming, the wolf clan in the north is hidden, and Meng Qing needs to be more vigilant, and the autumn harvest next year is the time to go north. ”

Fusu's pupils shrank, and the hand holding the booklet couldn't help shaking, and his handsome and slightly soft face immediately flushed.

"Fusu may not be able to have a long talk with you in the future, General."

Meng Tian's expression was grim, and his resolute face showed a rare hint of strangeness.

"Childe has been recalled by His Majesty, congratulations."

Fusu glanced at Meng Tian, walked over to look at the vast white snow outside the tiger tent, and said in a meaningful whisper: "In my father's book, the general is also allowed to cultivate well, and in the autumn harvest of next year, it is time for the imperial iron cavalry to attack." ”

Meng Tian's pupils shrank, and he knelt down on one knee and said, "The last general!" Yes!"

Fusu exhaled a cold breath and sighed: "This is the first time I have seen this snow Fusu in the Northern Plains, I really don't know how the Huns outside the Great Wall survived this extreme cold." ”

Wen Fusu's words were indecisive with Confucianism, and Meng Tian got along with him for half a year, and he was somewhat helpless in his heart.

Fusu is the eldest son of His Majesty, and his personality is too plain and soft, lacking the kind of sharpness that His Majesty the First Emperor should have.

Although the Great Wall in front of him stretched for thousands of miles, the Huns, who were mainly guerrillas, harassed the border areas for hundreds of years, and even broke through the Great Wall to the south to plunder and kill, and Meng Tian's deep hatred for the Huns had reached his bones.

Helplessly sneered: "Jiuyuan County has fertile land and convenient water resources, but the Huns can only be nomadic. ”

Speaking of this, Meng Tian paused for a moment, and then said: "If you want to come here in a hurry, there must be something important that needs to be met by the son." ”

Fusu's eyes flashed, and he was somewhat melancholy in his heart, "Arrange with the general." ”

……

Watching the carriage gallop away, Meng Tian's expression was pale, and he actually held back a word in his heart and never said a word.

"Such an uncivilized group of pickled robbers should be killed to prevent future troubles."
