Tugang Mountain is adjacent to the capital of Yamatai Kingdom.
The altitude of this place is about two thousand meters. It is summer now, and it is quite cool in the mountains. Many soldiers and even people from Himihu and Yamatai Kingdom have already hid in the mountains.
At the beginning, it was quite harmonious.
After all, many people who moved to the mountains brought food with them.
However, as time goes by, problems arise.
Some people of the Yamatai Kingdom hiding in Tugang Mountain have been fighting for territory, food and water sources. In Tugang Mountain, there is a lake and river, which is the only source of water on the mountain.
However, there are too many people going up the mountain, nearly ten thousand people. Such a huge team all depends on the water source on the mountain to live. Water is the most critical thing.
Especially those who live in the mountains cannot farm or earn money to support their families. They all rely on the mountains to eat. Although there are prey in the mountains, they cannot support the large number of people. Nearly ten thousand people wander around the mountains all day long. In just half a month, the mountains are full of food.
It was completely clean, and there was no longer any game, not even wild vegetables.
As a result, fights became more frequent.
However, Himihu did not pay attention to the fights among the people and the fights between some small countries.
She is the king of Yamatai Kingdom and a person who serves ghosts and gods.
No matter how hard she fought, her share of food was always guaranteed. Especially when she led the army up the mountain, she brought up all the food from the bottom of the mountain, as well as all the pigs and sheep she raised.
It is difficult for the people, but it is not difficult for Beimihu.
Himihu didn't care about the life or death of the people, so time passed like this.
Time passes and we enter the end of August. Although the weather is hot during the day, it has begun to cool down at night. Especially the temperature in the mountains is cooler and more comfortable.
During this period, Himihu never came down the mountain.
However, Himihu also always arranged for people to pay attention to the movements at the bottom of the mountain.
She didn't plan to stay in the mountain for a long time. She evacuated the capital of Yamatai Kingdom, and there was nothing inside. As soon as the Shu army left, she would go down the mountain again.
This day, at noon.
Himihu was having lunch. She was a woman and didn't eat much, but there were many kinds of lunch, including chicken, duck, and fragrant rice. She didn't eat much, so she put down her chopsticks and took the rest of the meal.
Give rewards to those around you.
"Tap! Tread!"
The sound of footsteps sounded outside the thatched house.
A soldier came and stood outside the hut and said: "Queen, there is news from the bottom of the mountain."
"Come in!"
After hearing this, Himihu gave an order.
After the soldiers entered, they bowed their backs slightly and lowered their heads, not daring to look at Himihu who was covered by the curtain.
Himi shouted: "What's the news?"
The soldier reported: "I just received news from the spies that after the Shu army entered the capital, they harvested all the rice they planted and then stationed themselves in the capital."
"In addition, the entire area at the foot of Tugang Mountain has been surrounded by troops from the Gounu Kingdom, and there are also troops from the Shu Kingdom stationed there. All the roads leading us down the mountain have been blocked."
"The water sources at the bottom of the mountain have also been cut off."
"In the past, our soldiers could go to the foot of the mountain to fetch water, but now all water sources at the foot of the mountain are guarded by Shu troops, and our people can no longer fetch water."
When the soldier reported, there was an uncontrollable look of worry on his face.
After hearing this, Bimi also frowned.
Things are getting a little serious.
According to Himihu's thinking, the Yamatai Kingdom was no match for the Shu Kingdom. When the Emperor of the Shu Kingdom saw an empty Yamatai Kingdom, he naturally left and would not be familiar with her.
Now, it is unexpected.
Even the water source at the foot of the mountain was cut off.
Himihu is a mysophobic person. She doesn’t want to use the same water as the rough people on the mountain, so the water he uses is taken from the bottom of the mountain. Now that the water source at the bottom of the mountain is cut off, it means that she has to live with the ordinary people.
Use water.
This is unacceptable to Himihu.
Bimihu asked: "Even if there are troops from Shu guarding us, can't we get the water source from the mountain?"
"Can't get it!"
The soldier shook his head and said: "After our people inquired, they found that there were archers ambushing near the water source at the foot of the mountain. Once our people go there, they will probably be shot dead immediately. The most important thing is whether there is any water source at the foot of the mountain now.
Whether the poison can be used is also doubtful."
Bimihu felt even more agitated.
"Report!"
Just when Himihu was agitated, the leader of a small country came outside the thatched house to report.
Himihu's maid entered and reported the identity of the leader of the small country.
This person's name is Harada Yuuji. He is the leader of a small country with more than a thousand people. In the current Yamatai country, especially on this mountain, he is considered one of the largest leaders. After all, the main forces of other countries before the establishment were all controlled by Matsushita.
Ichiro was mobilized, but Harada Yuuji was relatively weak and not strong at the beginning, so he did not go.
Under the current circumstances, his strength is actually quite great. It is also true that Yuji Harada assisted Himiko in handling many matters behind the mountain.
He temporarily took Matsushiro's place.
"Come in!"
Himi gave an order.
After Yuji Harada entered, he bowed respectfully and said, "Queen, something serious has happened."
Himi shouted: "What happened?"
Harada Yuji replied: "The people on the mountain fought fiercely for the only water source. After the fight failed, some unruly people even threw soil, excrement, etc. directly into the water source. Today's water source is no longer what it used to be.
It’s clear.”
brush!
Himihu's face changed drastically.
The water source at the foot of the mountain has been taken over by the Shu army and can no longer be used. Now the house is leaking and it rains all night. I just received a bad news, and soon there is another bad news.
Himiya scolded: "Harada Yuuji, you immediately mobilize the army and take over the upper reaches of the river. No one is allowed to come near. In addition, the people in the mountains are no longer free to draw water. You dispatch soldiers and let the people draw water uniformly. If anyone disobeys, kill them all."
amnesty."
"yes!"
Harada Yuji received the order and immediately obeyed it.
He had no hesitation in doing such a thing. In fact, Harada Yuuji had wanted to do this before, but he didn't dare to do anything without Himiko's permission.
Now with Himiko's arrangement, Harada Yuuji has the confidence.
Harada Yuji continued: "Queen, in addition to water sources, there is not much food on the mountain. Can you see if the food supply for the soldiers has been reduced, otherwise we will not be able to hold on for too long. Now that the Shu army is stationed at the foot of the mountain, we
We must make long-term preparations, otherwise we will have no choice once the food runs out."
Himi shouted: "Okay, you can arrange it immediately."
"yes!"
Harada Yuji agreed and bowed to leave.
Himihu asked the soldiers to retreat and sat alone in the thatched hut, feeling a little worried in her heart. Facing the attack of the Shu army, how long can she last? (To be continued)
