    The Goguryeo army stationed in the camp was mainly divided into two parts.  A group of about 3,000 troops was commanded by Wenbu, the son of Princess Pinggang, and was a direct lineage of Gao Jianwu.  There is also a team of about 500 people, commanded by Chen Yinglong, a general under Yuan Taizuo, who is responsible for guarding Yuan Taizuo and his family.

    Yuan Taizuo knew very well that during his southern expedition, Gao Jianwu would never suddenly cut off his own retreat. That would just be an advantage to the Sui army.  Therefore, he did not need to leave too many troops in the camp to guard Gao Jianwu, which was a waste of troops.

    For Goguryeo, the future direction of power depends on the victory or defeat of Yuan Taizuo's southern expedition.  No matter how hard Gao Jianwu tried, as long as he returned with a victory, Gao Jianwu still couldn't escape from his grasp.  Of course, if he loses, no matter how many troops he retains, he may not be able to suppress Gao Jianwu.

    Therefore, Chen Yinglong's troops were only stationed at Yuan Taizuo Mansion in the past and did not participate in any military defense in the camp.  As for building the city or reinforcing the defenses, these are all matters that Gao Jianwu ordered Wenbu to toss around.

    It has to be said that the lack of restrictions on both sides actually gave Goguryeo a stable situation. If this situation is not broken, Goguryeo may usher in a period of rapid development.

    ¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤

    Goguryeo camp.

    In the Limoshui area at the end of March, sporadic snowfall can be seen from time to time, and more often it is continuous rainy weather.  The world is still desolate, and only the sporadic green that pops up from time to time can tell people that spring is coming.

    In the past two days, the government has been supervising and urging people to build the city wall day and night. Many people are tired and sick.  The adult men in the camp have long been recruited into the army. The remaining few thousand civilians are mostly men between ten and fifteen or forty or fifty years old. They are either underage or have passed the military service.  In the prime of life.

    There are not enough tools in the camp. Most of the people work with bare hands and carry them on their shoulders, which is not hard work.

    But what the government said is true. If the city wall is not repaired, when the Sui army comes over, the entire camp will not be spared.

    But Jiang Qi doesn¡¯t think so.

    The wall of Buyeo City was not higher than this, and it did not block the Sui people.  If such a mound could stop the Sui army, then Goguryeo would not have fled to such a bitter and cold place.

    Jiang Qi¡¯s surname is Jiang. Maybe he and Jiang Yishi were the same ancestors hundreds of years ago. Anyway, Jiang Qi claimed to be from the Jiang family in Pyongyang. No one knows whether it is true or not.

    "If we keep doing this, we will all be exhausted."

    Jiang Qi is only forty years old, an old bachelor with no children.  It stands to reason that at his age, he should serve in the army, but he is a rogue and slippery, so no one wants him.  Now that I was dragged to work on the construction site, all my energy was focused on being lazy.

    Although Jiang Qi said so, no one paid him any attention.  The food in the camp is rationed. You don't have to work, but there will be no food to eat and you will starve to death.

    For these Goguryeo people, they are used to the behavior of the upper class and they really can't stand this kind of life.

    From last winter to now, not to mention various conflicts, large and small, even large-scale rebellions have occurred three times. The small court confiscated all the food and finances of ordinary people, and then treated ordinary people like cattle and horses.  Not like a human being at all.

    Of course, the small court of Goguryeo also had its reasons. How could it counterattack Liaodong without concentrating all the power of the tribe.

    But for ordinary people like Jiang Qi, what does counterattacking Liaodong and your mother's eggs have to do with him.

    Many people who followed Yuan Taizuo to the north felt regretful, and many tried their best to escape.  But the ice and snow alone blocked the footsteps of most people. Almost none of those who fled south survived, and they all became ice sculptures in the wilderness.

    And even if you are lucky enough to survive, there are still countless patrolling cavalry outside.  Yuan Taizuo was very tight on the matter of escaping from the camp. Once discovered, the whole family would be killed.  There is no other way, if there are no people, how can he build a small court?

    The two sides spent a difficult winter amid various conflicts.

    "Damn it, it's better that the Sui army comes here as soon as possible. We can continue to go back to Buyeo City and be our obedient citizens. We can also have something to eat, so why do we have to work here as coolies?"

    What Jiang Qi misses the most is the days when he used the Jiang family¡¯s name to get food and drinks in Buyeo City.

    "Don't dare to talk nonsense and let the superior officer hear you."

    Seeing that Jiang Qi was getting more and more crazy as he talked, those on his side quickly tried to dissuade him.  It's not that I care about Jiang Qi. If one person makes a mistake here, the whole team will be punished.  In the past, everyone would turn a blind eye if you were lazy, but if you get punished by the superior, everyone will be in trouble.  But no one wanted Jiang Qi to have no food to eat tonight.

    The supervisor had already noticed the movement here, although he didn¡¯t hear JiangQi said something, but seeing Jiang Qi being lazy, someone had already come forward with a whip and whipped Jiang Qi and others hard.

    A cowhide whip as thick as a thumb, with a small iron block tied to the head, was whipped on the person, beating the person's skin and flesh to pieces and to the bone.

    Jiang Qi was crawling all over the floor in pain, and everyone else hid far away for fear of getting involved.

    The supervisor continued to beat Jiang Qi more than ten times, until Jiang Qi could only get some air in and no air left out before he stopped.  Jiang Qi was covered in blood and squirming on the ground in pain.

    The supervisor kicked him again and cursed: "Get up and work quickly!"

    Two people stepped forward to help Jiang Qi and dragged him to continue working.  Jiang Qi also endured the pain and continued to work.

    It¡¯s good if you can continue to work. If you can¡¯t work, you will be thrown into the snow as a dead person. Even if you are still alive, you will not survive.

    Jiang Qi suffered hard all afternoon. At night, he was lying in the earthen nest with his bones almost broken.  In fact he did have two broken ribs.

    Usually, Jiang Qi is idle and bullies men and women. At this time, no one can even hand him some water.

    Jiang Qi¡¯s earthen nest was not big, so he reluctantly turned around and lay down alone.  At this time, listening to the howling wind outside Tuwozi, Jiang Qi's whole body ached so much that he missed the good times in Buyeo City and hated today's small court.

    ¡°For example, Jiang Qi is also a figure in Buyeo City, how could he end up in this situation?

    Jiang Qi is a mean, petty, and extremely vengeful person.  Today the supervisor beat him up, and he came back thinking of revenge.

    Of course, it is unrealistic to beat the opponent. After all, one is an official and the other is a citizen.

    Jiang Qi thought that the supervisor would be in charge of everything in their area, including the forage yard and other places.  Jiang Qi then thought about secretly burning the forage yard. Then the people above would blame him, and the supervisor would be left with nothing to eat.

    The more he thought about it, the more feasible it became, so Jiang Qi boldly left Tuwozi and headed for the fodder yard.  Although he was idle, he was extremely familiar with the situation in the entire camp.  Snakes have their own ways, rats have their own ways.  Covered with injuries, he actually dodged the patrols in the camp and came to the fodder yard.

    Jiang Qi lit up a pile of fodder and looked at the growing flames, smiling ferociously.

    ¡°Fuck you, let¡¯s see if you die tomorrow.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
