At this moment, Cavalry Captain Zhou Qing came to ask for instructions.
"Same old rule! Let them dig the pit!" Xue Rengui said calmly.

Under Zhou Qing's coercion, six thousand prisoners used rudimentary tools to dig pits in the Gobi Desert.
They thought the Han army had ordered them to dig pits to bury their dead clansmen, completely unaware that they were digging them for themselves.
