Volume 8: Ancient Tomb Mysteries and Clouds Chaos Life and Death
Qingyan Military Town, located at the southernmost end of Yizhou, is also the most important military center on the border between Daqin and Miaojiang.
Here, the "military garrison system" unique to the border army of the Qin Dynasty is implemented, also known as the garrison system. The world is divided into two households: military households and civilian households. They have no difference in normal times, working at sunrise, resting at sunset, and farming on the spot. Once the war starts, the military households will turn into soldiers and quickly participate in the war.
The military garrison system has three major benefits: First, it can stabilize the number of troops, mobilize quickly during wartime, and recruitment speed is extremely fast, which is enough to cope with the ever-changing situation on the border; second, the military garrison is integrated with the same army, and the entire grain of the military garrison is supplied to the army, greatly reducing the burden on the country to raise troops; third, it avoids the huge loss caused by the grain operation in the war, and saves more money and food. This system has been implemented for a hundred years until today, and has been considered flawless.
It was almost noon now, and it was a good time to work. The farmland outside Qingyanjun Town was empty. Signs were erected on the official road beside the fields, and the words on the signs were as red as blood.
war.
General Zhou Shen, the leader of the Qingyan Army, issued an order to assemble today. All the military households had already gone to the military camp, and the solemn and murderous aura made the air a little stagnant.
In the main tent of the military camp.
"Bang!" A wooden box was smashed to the ground by the gang general Zhou Lijin. The generals in the tent were shocked. Feeling Zhou Lijin's anger, everyone didn't even dare to breathe.
The wooden box was broken and a human head rolled out. The deceased wore a square scarf and looked horrified. Obviously, when he was dying, he would never think that the other party would dare to do something to him.
Someone has recognized who this is - the envoy who was sent to Qianhu Miao Village to deliver the letter yesterday.
"There are many times in a hurry, and there are many negligence. I give you a small gift, but I don't respect you. I come to visit you next time and send you the thief to see my sincerity in Miaojiang." Zhou Lijin finished reading in a deep voice, then looked around the generals:
"This morning, this wooden box and this sentence were sent out of the gate."
What a rampant seedling! When the generals in the tent heard this, they were furious.
Zhou Lijin stood up:
"These seedlings have killed our envoys and are so provocative; the spies have heard that the envoy Jiang Qin has been trapped in the deep mountains by them; the barbarians in the Miao border have emerged in full swing, and there are 20,000 soldiers in the thousand-house Miao villages. Now I want to ask you a word—"
"Where is my great Qin army!"
"Here!" A bearded Qian slapped the table:
"Sir, let me lead my troops to flatten their thousand-house Miao villages!"
Zhou Lijin nodded in approval, and then looked at the other generals:
"The commander of Yizhou City has known about this. He just sent an order to Qingyan Army Town, the whole army will attack!"
"Yes!" All the generals took the order and left.
Half an hour later, the military camp square.
Zhou Lijin, dressed in armor, rode his horse to the forefront of the army.
The swords in the hands of the soldiers shone with dazzling light, and the horses under their crotch were sniffing, as if they could not wait.
Zhou Lijin pulled out his waist knife and pointed the blade south:
"Set off!"
The army was like a wild beast that had just woken up from a sound sleep, and the roar sounded across the sky.
A total of five thousand elite soldiers rushed towards the thousand Miao villages.
…………
At the same time, Qianhu Miao Village.
Under a big tree, Xiao Nian from Langdezhai sat side by side with Akang.
Xiao Nian held Akang's hand:
"Akang, I'm so bored."
Akang nodded:
"Since we arrived at Qianhuzhai, Elder Bai and the others have been discussing things. I don't know when the people from the Central Plains came, which made everyone very nervous... Hey, didn't you say you went to Meila to tell fortunes? How about it? What did you figure out?"
Xiao Nian was a little unhappy when she mentioned this:
"I have heard that Mei La from Qianhuzhai is the most accurate. Who knew that when I went to find her, she actually said that she would not tell fortunes."
Akang frowned:
"I heard that Mei La has been calculating the hexagram for decades, so why did he suddenly come?"
Xiao Nian curled her lips:
"I think so too, so I asked her when it didn't count. She actually said that it started yesterday... Humph, it's clear that she looks down on our Langde Village, and it's really boring to find these excuses."
Akang comforted:
"Okay, okay, we don't care about her."
"But it's really boring to keep working like this..." Xiao Nian sighed with her head, then her eyes rolled:
"Hey? Akang, did you just say that my grandpa and the others have been discussing things? Let's go eavesdrop, right?"
"Ah? This, isn't this good?" A Kang was a little embarrassed.
Xiao Nian glanced at him:
"Coward, if you don't go, I'll go by myself."
After saying that, she got up and left. Akang was stunned, and then followed her with all her steps.
After walking to the home of the elder Wu in the center of Qianhu Miao Village, Xiaonian observed it for a while, then walked around to the back of the stilt house.
Akang felt in his heart that he should pull Xiao Nian back, but Xiao Nian hooked his fingers at him, and his feet moved over as if he was out of control.
Xiao Nian waved her hand and signaled Akang to lower her body so that she could step on it.
Akang carried Xiao Nian's feet and stood up. Xiao Nian stood on tiptoe and could see into the house.
The next moment, Akang below felt a shock on his shoulders, and Xiao Nian fell down suddenly. He was shocked, and after catching Xiao Nian, he whispered:
"Xiao Nian, what's wrong?"
Xiao Nian's face turned pale, her lips trembled slightly, she was stunned for a moment, then buried her face in Akang's arms and started crying.
Akang patted her back lightly, and after a while, Xiao Nian raised her head:
"More than a dozen people, all dead!"
Akang naturally knew that Jiang Sheng and the others had done evil things in the village, so he whispered:
"Don't be afraid or not, wait until we kill the Central Plains robbers to avenge Qianhu Miao Village."
Xiao Nian shook her head desperately:
"No, it's not that I died before, it's just now! I saw Ah Ming, they were all cut off from the opening and were bleeding..."
Amin! Isn’t this from our Langde Village? A Kang was shocked and said in a lost voice:
"What?"
At the same time, Elder Wu cursed:
"The Central Plains dog thieves are too bullying, I am irreconcilable with them! Hum? Who is eavesdropping? Get up!"
When he heard that someone in Langde Village was killed, Akang no longer cared about anything else, he pulled Xiao Nian:
"Let's go up."
Then the two walked up to the stilt house quickly and opened the door. Akang lowered his head and said respectfully:
"It's Luo Kang and Bai Nian from Langde Village."
Elder Wu turned his head and looked at Elder Bai, who nodded:
"My granddaughter and grandson-in-law, Akang has good martial arts skills, so he can come and have a look."
Elder Wu said to come in, Akang and Xiaonian walked in, walked into the living room, Xiaonian screamed and hurried in Akang's arms.
A Kang naturally saw the scene in front of him. After just one look, he was furious and filled with righteous indignation.
The long table in the center of the living room has been removed, and sixteen bloody corpses are lined up and placed here.
Among them were men and women, old and young, and through their clothing, Akang judged that they happened to be from the Sixteen Villages in Miaojiang.
The corpses were all cut through the stomach, and the blood was flowing through the internal organs, sprinkling all over the ground, and the smell of blood rushed straight into the mouth and nose, just like hell on earth.
The expressions of the deceased were very painful, and even the expressions on their faces were twitching and deformed. Akang had been practicing martial arts for many years and immediately understood what was going on. After the people of the Central Plains grabbed them, they cut their belly open and took out their internal organs. They did not die of bleeding too much, but were in pain!
Akang immediately saw that the deceased's face was carved with sharp blades, and each person had one on his face, forming a sentence.
After seeing this sentence, Akang's face changed drastically, and the blood in his body seemed to boil at this moment. He believed that everyone here had the same idea as him: only by killing all the people in the Central Plains can we clear the shame of our Miaojiang!
These sixteen words spread like a plague, one passed through two, two passed through four, the more they passed through faster and wider they passed through. However, in a blink of an eye, the noisy Miao village was silent.
During the silence, a huge anger began to arouse.
Because everyone heard the same sentence:
Chapter completed!
