In the dark night, there was silence, and the sound of beating the watch came from afar, 'the third watch of the child, safe and sound', the snowflakes had fallen in the sky, and the soldiers of the Qin State stationed in Shu were guarding the front of the armory, the two of them stomped their feet back and forth, holding a spear in their arms, and kept rubbing their hands to keep warm, and a middle-aged sergeant kept muttering:

"Hey! It's really unlucky, when it was our brothers' turn to be on duty, it actually snowed. ”

The younger sergeant immediately agreed:

"Who doesn't say come! It's all because we are too ugly, this god is not happy to see us both! ”

"you! Ay! I heard, your daughter-in-law gave birth? The older sergeant teased.

"How do you know?" Then he asked a rhetorical question.

"A few days ago, among the official documents sent from Xianyang, there were everyone's family letters, yours or I brought you back, how do you say I know?" The older sergeant said.

"I see! gave birth to a big fat boy, more than eight pounds. The young sergeant described happily.

"Not bad! When you grow up, you can go into battle to kill the enemy and gain fame. No more than me, only one daughter. The older sergeant was not without envy, but also with indescribable emotion!

"Hey! What is there to envy, when we change our guard back to Xianyang this time, my brother closes the door, but he can call hard, sow more seeds, and there will be a harvest in the coming year! The young soldier kept cooperating with the movements as he spoke, which was very funny.

"you!" The older sergeant slapped the younger sergeant with a spear. "Don't talk nonsense here,

"Hey! No chance! A sigh broke through the night.

The young sergeant did not know what had offended him, and hurriedly asked:

"What's wrong with my brother! Is something wrong? ”

"Her mother had a difficult birth in order to give birth to her, and when she gave birth, she was exhausted, and she never woke up after looking at it. I'm a miserable girl, I haven't even drunk a mouthful of milk," the older sergeant said as tears flowed out of his eyes.

"Big brother! It's all brothers, don't take it to heart! How old is the girl now? You're serving here, who's going to take care of you? The young sergeant continued to comfort.

"At the age of three, my father was on the battlefield and spent the rest of his life fighting, and he got the title of 'Shangzai', and the family had two homesteades, three cows, and two slaves.

My father used to tell me, 'The country is too difficult to sit idly by.'" The older sergeant, before he could finish speaking, the younger soldier interjected and said:

"That's why you're here to serve in the place of your old father, aren't you?"

"Exactly!" The older sergeant said.

"The female junior holds the gold brick, brother! Leave your girl to my son as a daughter-in-law. The young sergeant suggested.

"This! All right! The older sergeant replied happily, and the sadness just now was also swept away.

"Big brother! You don't think it's as good as this, when we go back to Xianyang, we will settle this matter, and then, you send the girl to my house, my mother-in-law has milk, this little girl comes back to the world, if you can't drink a mouthful of milk, wouldn't it be a pity, one sheep cub is also fed, two sheep cubs are also raised, and they are all sent to my home. The young sergeant was pleased to suggest.

"How's that good?" The older sergeant was at a loss for what to do.

"Hey! Big brother, have you forgotten that the song "No Clothes" of my Great Qin Kingdom" said, holding the spear in his hand tightly at the door, and began to sing,

How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son!

How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the son!

How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son!

The voice is majestic, very penetrating, shocking spirit, the snowflakes in the sky, the thicker and thicker, the older sergeant, also attracted by the atmosphere, can't help but sing along, the other guards in the entire armory, hearing the cold night "No Clothes", are mostly moved, without much thought, to join the ranks of singing.

A group of soldiers far away from their homeland, for the benefit of the country, gave up their comfort, and the song became more and more shocking in this snowy silent night, like a huge wave, spreading to farther places.

These people were singing indulgently, unaware of the danger that was approaching step by step.

A group of people in the distance were lying quietly on the ground, their clothes were already covered with snowflakes, and countless pairs of eyes were paying close attention to everything in front of them.

"When it's ugly, it's cold." The sound of beating in the distance kept coming.

"Childe! Do you want to do it tonight? A man cautiously asked his commander.

"You go up at this time, aren't you looking for death, tell the brothers, while they don't find us, withdraw carefully, and cancel the operation tonight." The leading commander commanded cautiously.

"No!" The subordinates next to him hurriedly and quietly climbed back, informing their own people one by one, all the people who received the order were stunned, but the military order was like a mountain, since there was naturally a reason to withdraw, so everyone quietly climbed back, and a thick layer of snow had accumulated on their bodies, and everyone had been crawling back slowly, for fear of making a little movement and causing the idea of the soldiers opposite.

The singing on the other side continued, and no one cared at all that there were so many killers lurking in this close proximity.

Turning the corner and retreating to a safe place, the crowd asked puzzledly:

"Childe! Why the sudden retreat today? ”

Seeing the commander in front of him, he asked:

"What am I waiting for tonight?"

"Naturally, I'm here for weapons!" The crowd replied.

"Since the Qin people occupied Shu, all the copper and iron were collected by the official family, and they originally attacked tonight, but this Qin soldier suddenly sang a military song. Besides, we and others do not have weapons in their hands, and if we hand them over, we may not be able to gain the upper hand, and if we fail to sneak attack, we will startle the snake and arouse the ideas of the people of Qin. When the time comes, it will be even more difficult to succeed. ”

"Childe, what you said is extremely true! It's me who waited for the abruptness! The crowd hurriedly spoke.

"That's it! Let's go back! It will be dawn in a while, and if it is discovered by the Qin army defending the city, it will be troublesome. The lead commander said.

"No!" The people hurried towards a large mansion in the city. Walking and sitting, seeing that he was about to reach this big mansion, the leading commander suddenly stopped, looked back, and said to himself:

"Not good! Not so! ”

Seeing that his command stopped, the subordinates next to him also stopped in unison, and one of them came over and asked:

"What's wrong, Childe? What's wrong? As he spoke, he looked in the direction that Childe was looking, and saw that because of the snow, there were a series of footprints left behind everyone, extending from the armory to here.

"Childe! Are you worried about this? As he spoke, he pointed to the footprints in the snow.

I saw that the young conductor nodded and said:

"If the guards of the armory of tomorrow find out, they will definitely follow the footsteps to find this place! We're in trouble. ”

This is a problem, and everyone realized that they were fortunate not to run back to the mansion in one go, and if they were detected by the 'Flying Feather Guard' of the Qin State, their lives might not be saved.

"Go! Tell everyone! Run around the house, then disperse, go to the four gates and wait for dawn, and then come back! ”

"No!" Everyone went their separate ways!

The reason why this person is so careful is because after the Qin State occupied Bashu, although it retained the status of the state of Bashu, including the King of Shu, all of them became prisoners of the Qin people and were forced to live under the high-pressure rule of the Qin army. Every move of the people of Bashu is constrained by the law of 'continuous sitting' of the Qin State!

The method of 'sitting together' is one of the strategies in the Shang Dynasty reform. Shang Ying believes that only when the closest people, including husband and wife, do not hide each other, and report and expose them to the government in a timely manner, can there be no room for hiding in any evil and any extraordinary things, and can the monarch's rule be stable.

"Husbands and wives can't make friends with each other, abandon evil and cover wrong, and don't harm relatives, and people can't hide from each other

"Those who are difficult to hide, although they are not evil" ("The Book of Shang Jun and the Forbidden Envoy").

When Shang Ying was alive, Qin Xiaogong supported the change of the law and killed countless people, and the people of Qin finally accepted this method, not only limited to the people, but also in the army of Qin.

At the time of the battle, five soldiers were grouped into a group, and if one of them became a deserter, the other four were punished accordingly. The life and death of several people are firmly in the hands of each other.

How could the people of Bashu withstand such severe punishments, and besides, the Qin State changed the law in their own country, and there were corresponding supporters. But this Bashu is completely different, the original violent invasion of the Qin State has long been hated, and now the Qin State has turned Bashu into a big rear for the hegemony of the Central Plains for its own selfish interests.

The grain of Bashu, before the people themselves could eat it, had to be sent to the front line to supply the Qin soldiers on the front line.

As soon as the young people of Bashu grew up, they were forcibly recruited into the army of Qin by the Qin people, and served as a victim and existed as 'cannon fodder' for the Central Plains war of the Qin State.

Bashu used to have the same brilliance as the Chinese nation. Brilliant civilization. Naturally, he was unwilling to surrender. The struggle has been going on in secret.

After dawn, there were pedestrians in the market, and these people rushed back from all directions in fits and starts.

The young man in the lead had already removed the veil from his face, and everyone had already taken off their night clothes, only to see that the person in front of him was so elegant and handsome, with a face like the moon, eyes expressive, a high nose, and red lips, which were so red and seductive, like a woman in a boudoir.

The body seems to be weak, like the 'Confucianism' of the Central Plains, but in fact, it is not, and he walks with a tiger and a tiger, and he is very imposing. When they came to the garden, some of them had prepared their breakfast, and the young man beckoned them to go down to rest, and the man who had just spoken asked:

"Is there any news of the prime minister?"

"Enlightened Childe! The day before yesterday, the spies came to report that they had left Chu State, and I think they would be able to arrive today! The lead guard replied.

"Good! You go down first, and report as soon as there is news! The young boy commanded.

"No!"
