Great Wei Nengchen

After the birds and beasts are full, they still don't forget to "pack" a portion and return to the nest to feed their offspring. With the help of them, the road ahead is unobstructed, and the army can continue to advance.

"No wonder the snakes gathered in the valley, it turned out to be another mass grave!"

"Who are they, why did they die here, and the death is so tragic!"

"It's not like people say, this is the entrance of Fengdu City, and there are countless ghosts and ghosts under the town?"

…………

The vanguard troops slowly entered the valley, and while clearing the road, they sprinkled realgar powder. This was to prevent poisonous snakes from dying and suddenly jumping out and injuring people and horses. This cold-blooded animal has tenacious vitality. Can bite back!

During the cleaning process, the soldiers found a lot of skeletons all over the valley. They were originally buried in the ground, but unfortunately they were buried too shallow and were washed out by the previous heavy rain.

No wonder there are many highlands around, and snakes gather here. This kind of rotten cold breath is what cold-blooded animals like most. Therefore, in the tombs in the wilderness, there are often pythons haunting them. The coffin is used as a nest!

Therefore, when people move the graves of their ancestors, they sometimes dig out groups of snakes. When this happens, the snakes must not be killed, otherwise it will cause unreasonable disasters. We can only wait for the snakes to disperse before proceeding. The coffin has been moved!

"Swipe!--The ministries go one by one, and quickly pass through the valley!"

"promise!"

Xiao Yi pulled out his sword, cut off the head of the green-scaled python, and asked Sun Shao to keep it as a souvenir of his first expedition, and then ordered the troops to move forward.

Leading dozens of soldiers, wandering around in the valley, and digging a big deep pit, the result is more and more frightening, piled up with bones, piled up layer by layer, the scale of the mass grave is far beyond expectations!

Xiao Yi is known as the "Killing God of the World", and he has the most say in killing people. Judging from the area and depth of the mass graves, there are at least 3 people buried here, some were buried after being killed, and some were buried alive. , The method is quite vicious!

They are all young and strong men in their 20s and 40s. Their shoulder blades and spine show signs of wear and tear, and their osteoporosis is brittle. This shows that they were hard labored, carried heavy loads, and often did not eat enough. beaten with a whip.

Judging from the degree of decay of the bones, they probably died more than 20 years ago, and in the layers of white bones, some rotten picks, hammers, iron brazing, and ropes were found... From this, it can be inferred that they were probably repairmen. The man of the plank road!

The history can probably be restored: they were honest folk husbands who worked hard every day to farm, pay food and taxes, and endured the double oppression of the government and the powerful.

Unexpectedly, misfortune fell from the sky. Officers and soldiers like wolves and tigers broke into the village, tied them with ropes, forced them with knives and guns, and forcibly took away all the young and middle-aged people. The elderly, and the children who are starved for food.

The young and strong were brought to the Meridian Valley, where they worked every day under the whip, knocking boulders, cutting down trees, and laying the plank road.

For the sake of the progress of the project, the supervisors didn't care about the life and death of the peasants. They just whipped and abused them blindly, and even withheld their rations in private.

After untold hardships, the plank road was finally built, and the number of civilians has dropped sharply (in ancient city building and road construction projects, half of the lucky people died, and seven or eight out of ten of the unlucky people died), and the remaining lucky ones We thought that all the hardships were over, and we could go home and reunite with our loved ones!

The last order they received was to gather in the valley and dig a huge deep pit, and these innocent and kind-hearted people never saw the sun again the next day. It was a bloody night!

"You guys have firmly remembered that when you govern the country and rule the army in the future, you must not be overjoyed. You must know that you love the people. The people are water, and the king is a boat. Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. Pre-Qin is the best. example!

As long as the taxes are lowered, the civil servants are less levied, and the laws can be relaxed, the Great Qin Empire established by the survivors of the sixth generation will not perish in the second generation. As a result, the conflict between Chu and Han was triggered, and how many innocent people died people! "

"Promise, we will keep in mind the teachings of our father and master, and never do anything that harms the people. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. It is really a deafening famous saying through the ages!"

"Stop flattering, test your eyesight, can you see who did the murder and why?"

…………

Borrowing Tian Khan's famous quotes and winning the infinite admiration of his sons and apprentices, Xiao Yi felt a little embarrassed because his skin was as thick as a city wall, and he quickly moved his fingers to the next topic!

There is a famous saying in the field of forensic medicine: "The bones of the dead can speak, only the wise can listen." It means that based on the clues on the remains, many things can be deduced, and even the murderer behind the scenes can be found!

Whether it is running a country or commanding an army, keen observation skills and meticulous analysis skills are needed. Taking advantage of the "great opportunity" in front of him, Xiao Yi tested his sons and apprentices to see how capable they are.

"No!-No!"

Deng Ai, Sun Shao, Xiao Xuan and others took out small shovels from their backpacks and began to dig the mass graves under their feet. After the experience in Meiwu, they were no longer afraid of the bones, and they soon gained something.

I found some copper ornaments, ironware, and coins, all of which were belongings of the peasants during their lifetime, and pulled out rusty arrowheads from some bones, and several people discussed with each other...

"There is a saying in the army: Zhe wood is the top material for arrows, followed by eucalyptus and oak trees, and green bamboo is the bottom. Although this place is located in Yizhou, the arrow shafts are made of Zhe wood, and it is the northern army that did the murder!"

"Although the arrowhead is rusty, there is a faint cyan color inside. It must have been smeared with chamaejasma chamaejasma. This poisonous weed grows in the northwest region. Could it be that Xiliang soldiers made it?"

"Judging from the degree of decay of the bones, it should have been more than 20 years. That was when Dong Zhuo dominated the court and Xiliang soldiers ran rampant in Guanzhong. In all likelihood, they did it. As for the purpose - to kill people and hide their secrets !"

Based on the clues unearthed, the children guessed a lot of things with what you said and what I said, showed a strong logical ability, and vaguely discovered a big secret!

"You guys are right. In all likelihood, Xiliang soldiers did this. The purpose was to kill people and silence them. However, I missed a little bit. Not far from this valley, there is at least one mass grave!"

"There is also a mass grave, are those also buried with innocent civilian husbands?"

"Wrong, the next pit buried is not the civilian husbands, but the overseers who killed these civilian husbands, murderers, people also kill them!"

…………

Xiao Yi looked around at the surrounding mountains, took a deep breath, as if he wanted to smell the next mass grave from the air, there must be a lot of bones buried there!

The Xiliang army spared no effort in manpower and material resources to rebuild the plank road in Ziwu Valley, quickly burned it, and killed tens of thousands of civilians to silence them. They must want to hide some secret. Could it be related to Dong Zhuo's treasure? Good place!

It may also be a large mausoleum. Dong Zhuo wanted to use the power of the Qinling dragon veins to help him replace the Han Dynasty and become the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, but he was worried that the news would leak out, so he killed him to silence it!

And with Dong Zhuo's brutal character, after killing the civilian husbands, he will definitely send troops secretly to kill those overseers, and even send another team to silence the silent army, so as to completely cover up the traces...

Therefore, Xiao Yi concluded that there must be one or several mass graves near the valley. If they are found and excavated, they will definitely discover many clues and approach the final secret step by step!

"Let's stay for a few days and search the nearby valley, we will definitely find a big secret!"

"Maybe there is a big treasure, with countless gold, silver and jewels inside, and we will get rich!"

Once the secret hidden with tens of thousands of lives is revealed, it will definitely shock the world, and people are curious, and the children are eager to try it, but Xiao Yi firmly shook his head!

"Haha, silly children, let me teach you another truth. When fighting desperately with the enemy, even if there are mountains of gold and silver beside you, you must not shift your eyes or the edge of your sword by half, otherwise you will be the one who dies!

Meridian Valley is a jeopardy for military strategists. If the army stays for one more day, it will be more dangerous. Even if there are mountains of gold and silver here, we must not delay. The most urgent thing is to march quickly and enter Nanzheng City as soon as possible! "

If you are lucky, maybe we will find something new along the way. If we don’t find any new clues, if you can return to Meridian Valley and slowly uncover this big secret after Hanzhong is pacified, speed up your march now, and those who delay— - Kill without mercy! "

"promise!"

………………

In the next few days, Xiao Yi led the team to advance all the way, wading through mountains and rivers, overcoming thorns and thorns, and endured a lot of hard work, until they pushed all the way to the depths of Ziwu Valley, and the road behind became more and more difficult...

Chapter 1469 Meridian Valley, Land of Life and Death ([-])

"The weather is hot, Da Sima drink some water!"

"Well, what happened to the soldiers, did you find the water source?"

"The people and horses are all exhausted and resting under the cliff. They have sent people to find the water source, but there are stone mountains nearby--ah!"
