Chapter 250: Prisoner of Mount Li

In the mid-October of the 39th year of Emperor Qin Shi, the Yuezhi people suddenly sent troops.

While the surface of the Tangkou River was frozen, 80,000 Yuezhi cavalry attacked Henan. Zhao Ping, the county magistrate of the Beidi County, was caught off guard and was defeated by the Yuezhi people.

From Tangkou to Beiguangwu County, they were attacked by the Yuezhi people. More than 10,000 people were abducted, and the towns and villages along the route were all turned into ruins.

At the end of October, the new general of the Qin Dynasty and the commander of the border army, Wang Li, issued a counterattack order. Fifty thousand Qin troops set out from Linhe and other places to counterattack the Yuezhi people. In the eyes of many people, the Yuezhi people who are skilled in riding and shooting will have a desperate battle with the Qin border army. But no one expected that the Yuezhi people quickly evacuated Henan after just a little resistance and retreated a hundred miles in Hebei.

OK, this is undoubtedly a big victory.

For the Northern Frontier Army, the sudden replacement of the commander will undoubtedly cause turmoil.

However, a great war shifted everyone's realization. Especially Wang Lijun's great victory made many people even more excited.

Naturally, the influence of the coach being replaced was picked up to the lowest level.

The Qin general Shimamoto stationed in Yangzhou was dissatisfied with the sudden order. However, as the war broke out, Shimamoto had no time to investigate the matter. After the war ended, Shimamoto discovered that Wang Li had already gained a firm foothold and replaced Meng Tian's position in the northern border.

The former generals who were pro-Meng Tian were replaced one after another.

The disappearance of the Dongling Hou Zhaoping made the generals of Fusu and his group lose their backbone. The main generals of various troops were replaced by generals of Wang Li and his group. The general Su Jiao was appointed as the commander of the Shangjun Fushi camp, and Wang Li was stationed in Jiuyuan City.

Fusu was suddenly executed by an edict, and Meng Tian's soul returned to the underworld.

Zhao Ping disappeared, and the Yuezhi people knocked on the edge strangely... Everything seemed normal, but the smart man caught a trace of unusualness. At the same time, Wang Li ordered the investigation of Fusu's whereabouts, saying that he had to "see people in life and see corpses in life."

Why did Your Majesty kill Fusu and Meng Tian?

Although Wang Li was acting in accordance with the imperial edict, this unrest in the arrest operation made people feel even more strange.

In mid-November, Shejian wrote a letter to Wang Li, asking to send troops to Hebei to punish the Yuezhi people. The Yuezhi population was 2 million and the string control personnel hundreds of thousands. However, in Shejian's eyes, it was only a matter of seconds to destroy the Yuezhi Kingdom with the combat power of the Qin border army.

Speaking of which, the combat effectiveness of the Qin army is stronger than when Meng Tian fought against the Huns.

After occupying Henan, the Qin army added another horse source. Henan was very suitable for horse herding, so the Qin army's cavalry was more prosperous than before. With such a powerful Qin army, it was easy to cross the river and attack Yuezhi Kingdom. However, such a seemingly reasonable request was refuted by Wang Li mercilessly. According to Wang Li: Beidi County was defeated, and the Donghu people were eyeing it.

In this critical situation, you should not act rashly!

Beidi County did suffer losses, but it did not damage its vitality. As for the Donghu people... The Donghu King died of illness in September, and each of the eight major tents established Shanyu, and was in a state of chaos. Although Luanti, Donghu, one of the powerful members, was only one member after all, which was not worth worrying about.

So, Shuma wrote a letter again and argued with reason.

In mid-November, Wang Li ordered the removal of the position of Yangzhou as the chief general of Shejian, transferred to Yunzhong County, and stationed on the front line of the Yiyin Mountains to monitor the operations of the Donghu Yuezhi tribes. However, Wang Li's order also sternly warned Shejian: Shejian was not allowed to start the war without obtaining the order.

Almost at the same time as indirectly receiving the order, Emperor Shihuang's ceremonial guard crossed the Dahe River from the Pi family (now Hejin City, Shanxi) and entered the palace in Longmen Mountain (now northeast of Pingshun County, Shanxi). Ten days later, the imperial edict was reported to the death of Emperor Shihuang.

The obituary was written by the left prime minister Li Si, which lists the life achievements of the First Emperor and sets the time for the funeral sacrifice.

After learning the news, Feng Quji, the right prime minister who stayed in Xianyang, was shocked. He set out almost overnight and led officials from all over the world to Longmen Mountain to welcome the coffin. However, in Longmen Mountain, Li Si issued the will of the First Emperor, and Ying Huhai succeeded to the throne.

This is a decree that everyone expected.

But it seems to be reasonable...

Since June, the various actions of the First Emperor have been confused. First, he was the censor of Timeng Yi in the county, as if he was showing people his determination to support Fusu. But then he changed his itinerary and toured the northern border... Then, he was sentenced to death by Fusu and killed Meng Tian. When everyone, including Meng Yi, had not yet figured out what had happened, he died!

And an edict was issued to allow Hu Hai to succeed the throne.

If I think about it this way, it seems that the First Emperor's behavior of sending Fusu to death would be explained.

But although Emperor Shi loves Hu Hai, he has always been inclined to Fusu in terms of his heirs...

All kinds of suspicions made Feng Quji unable to let go. What surprised him even more was that when he proposed to worship the First Emperor, he was rejected.

As an old minister of the First Emperor, it seems normal to worship His Majesty.

But the rejection of such a request made Feng Quji feel strange.

That night, the CRRC Mansion's coach broke into Feng Quji's residence and took down Feng Quji, his eldest son, the current general Feng Jie.

Before the ministers could react, Meng Yi was also arrested.

This, this, what happened?

However, the most strange thing happened... According to etiquette, it should be to worship the First Emperor first, and then the coffin can be buried.

The time of the funeral festival is the first day of the first lunar month.

But the burial was on the third day of the 12th month. In other words, the burial was almost a month earlier than the funeral sacrifice. Who should I pay tribute to the funeral sacrifice? So how to pay tribute? The accompanying doctors naturally would not agree and wrote a letter to express their objection to the matter.

On the second day of the letter, Hu Hai issued an edict to kill all the doctors who wrote the letter and kill the three tribes of the Yi tribes.

In one day, Hu Hai killed more than 30 Confucian scholars and doctors who were famous in the Qin Dynasty, making everyone silent immediately.

The next day, Hu Hai issued another edict, ordering the Shaofu Zhang Han to speed up the construction of the First Emperor's Mausoleum.

He also conquered 110,000 people from Neishi County, Longxi County and Sanchuan County to restore the construction of Afang Palace, which was ordered to be suspended by the First Emperor.

The name is: to commemorate the heroic spirit of the late emperor.

Many such edicts made Neisha County suddenly panic. What happened? Why did so many strange situations happen?

On the third day of the 12th month, Ying Huhai led his ministers and princes to bury the coffin of Emperor Shin-Elect to the Mount Li tomb.

Twenty thousand prisoners were buried with them and never walked out of the imperial tomb again. For this reason, a riot occurred in Mount Li, which was not too big but not too small. However, facing the cold spear, the riot was soon suppressed by the lieutenant army.

The night was dark, and a winter rain was pouring down with the thunder.

Located on the first peak of Xiling in Xishan Mountain, there is a beacon tower famous all over the world. More than 500 years ago, a good show of "beacon to play with the princes, and a smile will be lost in the world" was staged on this beacon tower. King You of Zhou laughed at his beloved concubine Bao Si (pronounced si, four tones), ignited beacon here and teased the princes. As a result, the Quanrong attacked Mount Li, King You of Zhou was killed and Bao Si was captured.

The Great Zhou, which claimed to have been in power for eight hundred years, moved its capital to Luoyang since then.

It was from that time that the old Qin people took a solid step to conquer the world.

However, after hundreds of years, the beacon smoke ignited again under the beacon tower. The prisoners of Mount Li had a fierce conflict with the Qin army.

Under the beacon tower, corpses were everywhere.

The blood turned the earth red. After the rain washed away, it became much lighter. But the faint blood-redness was still particularly eye-catching in the lightning and thunder.

Crack, a silver snake flashed through the night, as if torn apart the sky.

The white light shone on the ground under the beacon tower. A big hand with blue veins stretched out from the pile of dead people and looked towards the sky, as if it was about to grab the lightning in its hands. Then, the dead body flipped and a burly man crawled out of the pile of dead people.

This man was about 40 or 50 years old, with his messy hair scattered on his shoulders, his beard was bent, and he could only see a pair of bright eyes. His eyes were shining, echoing the lightning light in the night. His body like a lion made him look extremely powerful.

All over the body, blood stains were mottled.

After the big man stood firm, his eyes swept across the surroundings, and suddenly lit up. He took two steps forward and grabbed an iron sword.

He exerted force with one hand and drew out the iron sword.

"I'm still alive, I'm still alive..."

He raised his iron sword and laughed loudly at the sky, "I'm Gai Nie is still alive, hahaha, I'm Gai Nie is still alive!"

Rumbled, and a roar came from the sky.

The pouring cold rain hit him, but he seemed to be unaware of it. After a long time, Gai Nie seemed to remember something, put away the iron sword, pulled out a long scepter from a Qin army's corpse, and shouted loudly: "Aro, Aro... are you still alive?"

Next to a large rock, several dead bodies were circling.

"Master, I'm here!"

A young man crawled out. It turned out that half of the big stone was buried in the soil, but half of it was protruding out, there was a gap at the bottom with the ground, which could just accommodate a person hiding. The young man was wearing a rosy prisoner suit, and was obviously a prisoner. When the battle was about to be fought, he was injured, so he hid in the gap in the stone. Then he fell down and hid him completely.

Even when the Qin army inspected the battlefield later, he was not able to find him.

After the young man crawled out of the pile of dead people, he couldn't help crying loudly when he saw Gai Nie, "Master, I'm still alive, and Alu is still alive!"

Gai Nie took two steps at once and rushed to the young man.

He helped the young man up and down, a kind of love flashing in his eyes, "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive!"

"Master, all are dead... everyone is dead!"

The young man looked at the dead bodies all over the ground and couldn't help crying: "The second pillar is dead, and the old dog is dead... all the people in our battalion are dead."

There was a look of pain in Gai Nie's eyes.

After a long time, he took a deep breath, grabbed the young man's arm and said, "No, he is not dead yet. You and I are still alive!"

"Master, what should we do next?"

"Get out of here!"

Gai Nie suddenly handed the long wand in his hand to the young man, "Aro, this matter is not that simple. Before he died, Lao Chen and his friends told me privately that when he was buried for His Majesty, they smelled a rotten smell. And it was not an ordinary odor, but a smell that only happened after the corpse rotted. Lao Chen's third generation specially organized funerals for people, and he knew the smell of the corpse most clearly.

Old Chen also said at the time that the smell of odor would be at least one or two months after death. The weather was cold this year, so I couldn't die longer.

As a result, they were buried together the next day... His Majesty's death is afraid there will be any problems!"

"Master, don't you hate Your Majesty for a while? Why do you care so much about Your Majesty's death?"

"Of course I hate him..." Gai Nie whispered after a moment of silence, "But I cannot refuse to admit that he is a good monarch. I was implicated because of Jing Ke's affairs and was arrested to serve my sentence in Mount Li. But at the beginning, he was still good to me, and even thought that I would be his Eagle General. But I was resentful at that time, so I couldn't agree. After these years, the hatred faded."

The young man said, "Then where will we go after we leave here?"

"I have no idea……"

After thinking about it, Gai Nie said, "This new emperor is just a child. It is hard to say what Lao Qin will look like. We'd better observe it. It would be fine if this little emperor is a promising monarch like His Majesty. If he is not... you and I will find an opportunity to kill him, which can be regarded as avenging these dead old brothers. In short, we wait for an opportunity to move... let's go to Beidijun."

"Go to Beidi County?"
To be continued...
