Chapter 247: It's good to make up your mind
At the northern foot of Lishan Mountain, countless people in ragged clothes are driving a mountain road between a pile of rocks.
A few soldiers in armor and armed with soldiers stood among the rioters, urging a few words from time to time.
The main tomb palace of the former emperor has been buried, but the outer burial pit and part of the outer city wall have not yet been completed, so the work is still in progress.
It was time to eat, but the prisoner who drove the rocks slowly stopped. The only food that was divided from it was a small half of dry food and a bowl of water.
The prisoners, however, seemed to be accustomed to it, and most of the food they had taken found an empty place on the spot and began to eat.
All of them were unkempt, and their clothes were soaked with sweat. His face was covered with mud and sweat. They all look grayish-black.
A man in a short shirt sat down with dry food and water, looked at the soldier in the distance, and saw that the soldier was far away, before 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 piece of dry food in his hand: "We have worked for a day, and we can eat this, is this to starve people to death?" ”
The person on the side pursed his mouth, he obviously couldn't eat enough, but he just sighed and said, "What can be done?" ”
As he spoke, he looked at the soldiers in the distance, and his gaze fell on their soldiers.
looked at the dry food in his hand again, smiled bitterly and said, "It's good to have a bite to eat." ”
As he spoke, he looked at the man who spoke first suspiciously: "Brother, how did you get in, why haven't I seen you in this camp?" ”
The man bit his mouth hatefully: "I'm originally Korean, and I was arrested ······"
He didn't say it very clearly, but the people on the side nodded, and there was no need to ask about the people who would be sent here.
The man lowered his head: "After the Qin State captured the places of the six countries, the people of our six countries can be regarded as dead and fleeing." ”
Saying this, the people on the side didn't know what it was like outside, but their eyes were red, and they should be worried about what he was involved in that old place.
"Hey." The man suddenly looked at the people beside him and said, "Do you know how many guards there are in the place?" ”
The person on the side was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "Don't ask more about this kind of thing, it's fatal." ”
"No, it's not." The man pointed to himself, "I know, I saw it when I came in." ”
As the man spoke, everyone around him seemed to be listening with their ears tilted slightly.
"There are only 10,000 people guarding us in this realm, and what about us?"
He looked around, stretched out two fingers, and whispered, "Two hundred thousand." ”
There was silence all around, and some people stopped chewing on the dry food in their mouths, but then returned to normal, each doing their own thing.
Only the man who had started to speak first looked around and asked.
"You guys, have you ever thought about escaping?"
No one answered him, but everyone's eyes showed a bit of a strange color.
For some time after that, there was a group of people in the various prison camps talking about their plans to escape, and gradually it seemed that everyone was talking to each other.
Until one night.
A torch was raised from the night, and the light of the fire illuminated the night.
······
Before the Chen County uprising was pacified, the prisoners of Lishan rebelled, and 200,000 prisoners fled from Lishan overnight. They killed more than 10,000 soldiers guarding them, and ran north with their armor.
These 200,000 prisoners don't seem to be scattered and disorderly, it seems that under the leadership of someone, they are robbing the road and stealing food in the chaos along the way.
However, the army of Guanzhong had no time to control them, and there were rebels from the Six Kingdoms everywhere.
The land of Qin was chaotic outside the pass, and the people were mourning all over the field, and there were prisoners and soldiers in the middle of the pass, and the people were injured.
There is no news about the army of Baiyue, and the world is in mourning.
······
The yellow sand outside the gate is long, and it is the pale yellow of smoke and dust in the air.
There were a few hay plants stretched out on the dry ground, which were either rolled up or left swaying with the wind.
Meng Tian sat in the tent in the army, and a person outside the tent pushed open the curtain and walked in.
He looked at the door, and it was Meng Yi who walked into the military tent.
"How's it going?" Meng Tian asked in a deep voice.
Meng Yi walked in front of Meng Tian and saluted: "The food in the county is no longer enough for a few days, I'm afraid it ······."
Meng Tian waved his hand and didn't let him continue, but asked, "Hasn't the food arrived yet?" ”
Looking in front of him, Meng Yi's mouth opened and closed a little, he didn't speak, and the expression on his face was calm.
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.
"Now that there is chaos in the country, there is no time to take care of the northland, and 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 discuss the affairs of the country, there will be food aids, before Your Majesty has an order, we just need to hold the Huns"
"But, General." Meng Yi wanted to say something.
"Alright." Meng Tian raised his eyes and looked at him and said.
"We just need to understand one thing, unless Your Majesty summons us to help. Otherwise, hold here, and don't let the Huns step into half a step. ”
"Even if there is no bread, you 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 way out.
Meng Yi sighed, as if he had let go of something.
He lowered his head, crossed his hands in front of him, and said resolutely, "Yes." ”
————————————————————
There are mountain roads on both sides.
A whole caravan walked along the road, and the horses in front of the carriage were dressed in rough clothes, and the ruts were so deep that it was obvious that the goods were being transported were quite heavy. However, the goods in the cart were covered by heavy cloth, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
The vehicles in the convoy were connected end to end, stretching far away, and it was not clear how many vehicles there were.
On both sides of the procession stood the soldiers, and the soldiers looked at the mountain roads on both sides, but there was nothing in the mountain roads.
The sound of the convoy moving forward was heavy, the sound of horses' hooves and wheels echoing through the valley, and the people in the group rarely spoke, except for the occasional boring soldier who walked with each other.
A stone rolled down the mountain road for some reason and landed on the side of the convoy.
No one cares about the pebble, just follows it closely.
There was a howl from the mountain roads on both sides of the road.
Then countless figures rushed out from behind the mountain, swords in their hands, and rushed down the mountain, killing the soldiers on both sides of the convoy.
