Everyone looked at each other, but no one answered.

Li Chuantian clenched his fist and released it, lowering his voice to remind Yang Kai.

"We are Western Chu people, and the purpose of our coming to South Vietnam is to capture Jinling, so that South Vietnam will offer grain and grass, and those who dare to stop us are enemies."

If it weren't for Prince Zhang's narrow victory against Xiang Hong, which led to their capture, they would have gone to the northwest to participate in the battle with merit at this time, so why bother digging stones here?

Only by thinking like this can Li Chuantian strengthen his determination.

"But ......"

Yang Kai still wanted to say something, Sun Gengyu beside him stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, echoing Li Chuantian's words.

"Brother Chuantian is right, we are the warriors of Xichu, since His Majesty has decided not to negotiate peace, it must be the conditions put forward by Prince Zhang, so that Xichu cannot be reached, and Prince Zhang is by no means the kind of philanthropist who raises idlers, and he will definitely kill chickens and monkeys when the time comes, you and I may save our lives, but what about other soldiers?"

As long as peace talks cannot be discussed, there will be a war after all.

Sun Gengyu thought of Shi Lei, who had done his best to avoid this battle, but could only commit treason in the end, and his heart was very heavy.

I don't know why.

Even if Li Chuantian said that General Qiu would help, he had an intuition that resisting the guards would eventually fail.

Li Chuantian saw the hesitation of some people and knew that this was a big gamble.

If they succeeded in escaping from the custody of the South Vietnamese soldiers, and when General Thu came to command them in battle, as long as they met with Monarch Zhang, or obtained Monarch Zhang's letter of appointment, their status would no longer be prisoners of war, but reinforcements.

But the problem is.

The father-son dispute between Monarch Zhang and Prince Zhang is now on the table, and they don't know what the battle ahead will be.

If Prince Zhang had brought in more powerful reinforcements, and when they arrived, Monarch Zhang had already been defeated, then their act of resistance would allow Prince Zhang to kill them on the spot, and Western Chu would not have any room for blame.

"If you want to stay, you can stay, and if you want to follow General Qiu to Jiazhou, prepare in advance."

Li Chuantian looked at the South Vietnamese soldiers at the entrance of the cave.

They had been gathering for too long, and the South Vietnamese soldiers had already come over with spears in hand.

Sun Gengyu, Yang Kai and the others immediately stood up with the clay bowl that had finished drinking the meat porridge and walked in the direction where the man was.

Seeing this, the South Vietnamese soldier glanced at Li Chuantian, who was sitting in place, and asked with concern: "Li Chuantian, are you not feeling well?" ”

Digging and grinding stones can be a physically demanding task.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has long explained that if anyone is unwell, seek medical attention in time.

"I ...... It may be infected with wind chill. ”

Li Chuantian deliberately put his fist against his mouth and coughed a few times.

"Just now, Dr. Xun said to help me prescribe a pair of medicines, and I'm about to come back."

Only then did the South Vietnamese soldiers know why Li Chuantian had been chatting with Dr. Xun for so long, and did not forget to tell Li Chuantian.

"Although the weather is hot, there are some shady places in the cave, and you usually work so actively, it doesn't matter if you work slowly."

These people were indeed prisoners of war.

However, it was these prisoners of war who taught everyone to make fat in the shortest possible time, and the South Vietnamese soldiers did not mean to treat them harshly in their hearts.

Another South Vietnamese soldier at the entrance of the cave looked to the left and right.

"I see that Dr. Xun seems to have gone down the mountain just now, is there not enough medicinal materials?"

"I'm going to help, but don't let a minor illness become a major illness."

Li Chuantian looked at the enthusiastic South Vietnamese soldiers, and his eyes flickered.

Prince Zhang is in the interests of the two countries, and it is a certain death.

But these South Vietnamese soldiers may still have a chance to live.

General Thu was unlikely to attack these ordinary soldiers, and as long as they were on the same page, they would at least be able to alleviate the casualties of the South Vietnamese soldiers...... No, that's not right.

Li Chuantian hurriedly reversed his mentality.

The casualties of South Vietnam should not be in his consideration, and whether the prisoner of war brothers can succeed is the most important thing he should consider.

"Doctor Xun is here!"

After a cup of tea, Dr. Xun was anxiously invited into the cave by the South Vietnamese soldiers.

Li Chuantian was just about to stand up and step forward, but he saw Dr. Xun suddenly shouting in the dialect of the Western Chu Kingdom.

"Hold your breath!"

The next moment.

Dr. Xun opened the medicine bottle in his hand and sprinkled the gray-yellow powdered medicine powder inside on the bodies of the South Vietnamese soldiers at the entrance of the cave.

A pungent smell poured into the cave.

The South Vietnamese soldiers couldn't understand the meaning of Dr. Xun's words, but when they saw this, they still raised the spear in their hands to take Dr. Xun down.

However, they did not wait for their strength.

The medicine boy beside Dr. Xun waved the sharp needle knife in his hand, and the knife fell in his hand, and several skulls of South Vietnamese soldiers rolled down the slope to Li Chuantian's feet.

The two guards who were concerned about his physical condition just now were also among them.

Li Chuantian's pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked at Dr. Xun, who had killed all the South Vietnamese soldiers at the entrance of the cave, and he still didn't understand.

The South Vietnamese guards are dead.

They don't want to rebel, they want to rebel!

"Just now there was a flying pigeon message, General Qiu arrived in Chuxian County two hours ago, and immediately came to Jinling."

Doctor Xun shouted excitedly.

"Everyone hurry up and prepare to welcome the arrival of General Qiu, Captain Li, you have allocated the manpower, who stays to guard Jinling, and who follows General Qiu to Jiazhou to guard Monarch Zhang!"

The Western Chu soldiers in the cave were stunned for a moment, and then reacted differently.

Some are ecstatic, others are worried.

They had been digging stone grinding for so many days, and their bodies had suffered some injuries due to fatigue, and they had not touched a sword for a long time, so their combat strength was not as good as before.

The Jinling garrison was in charge of Zhang Junyuan, the eldest princess of Southern Vietnam, and Zhao Dan, the envoy of Northern Qi, was also in the city.

It was easy for them to leave the mines, and if they wanted to advance eastward, it would be safer to wait until General Qiu arrived and lead them into battle.

"You don't want to save yourself, do you still have to wait for General Qiu to rescue you one by one?"

Doctor Xun was anxious and couldn't help but be excited.

"General Qiu is here for a big event, the situation in the Northwest Battlefield is so tense, everyone saves some time, and General Qiu can return to the Northwest Battlefield first, do you understand?"

Everyone understands the truth.

But they can't ignore the dangers.

Seeing this, Dr. Xun was not angry.

A bunch of cowards!

The task assigned to him by the boss is actually a choice, stay here and wait for General Qiu to come, or act in advance to save time.

The former he only has one credit for liaison, but the latter succeeds, and it is the first thing for him to change his life, how can he turn a blind eye.

"You guys are grinding slowly, I have already killed the guards under the mountain when I came, the South Vietnamese soldiers will soon raise their troops against each other, if you don't want to resist, just wait for death!"

Doctor Xun put down this sentence fiercely, and then walked towards the next mine without stopping.

Sun Gengyu saw that Dr. Xun was too abnormally anxious, and the sense of uneasiness was even stronger.

However.

Li Chuantian also gave them a choice, and Dr. Xun directly killed the killer and cut off their back road.

At this time, there was no other way than to join forces with Dr. Xun to break out of the siege and wait for General Qiu to come and settle the situation in one fell swoop.

"Don't wait, let's do it!"

Li Chuantian took out the long-cherished piece of red and yellow cloth from his arms and tied it to his arm.

This is the color of the military uniforms of the Western Chu soldiers, and it is also the color of the military flag.

In this way, we can distinguish between friend and foe.

"Those South Vietnamese guards are also acting on orders, everyone...... Start lightly. ”

Li Chuantian didn't understand how to lighten it, but everyone nodded tacitly when they saw that the South Vietnamese soldiers who cared for them on weekdays had been separated.

Immediately after, everyone at the entrance of the cave tied their yellow and red cable ties in unison and shouted.

"Rush!"

……

In the city of Jinling, Jingzhao Mansion.

Shi Lei, who had just finished dinner and was processing official documents, felt a gust of wind outside the door.

Looking up, when he saw two middle-aged men who exuded majesty and overlordship, he was shocked in his heart, squinted his eyes, and secretly touched the dagger hanging from his waist.

"You are Shi Lei?"
