Chapter Twenty-Five: Wu Liegong
Feng Jin and his party stood in front of the statue of Wu Liegong for a long time, and at this time, an old man with a staff slowly walked towards everyone.
The old man was pale and white-haired, his body qi and blood had gradually decayed, and his eyes were slightly cloudy, the old man walked to the side of Feng Jin and the four of them, and said softly: "I don't know how many years I haven't seen pedestrians stop in front of the statue of the general for so long, but you have an old relationship with the general?"
Everyone shook their heads when they heard this, and Feng Jin replied: "This old man, we didn't recognize Wu Liegong before. ”
The old man was a little surprised: "I don't know the general, then why have you stopped in front of his statue for so long, it has been half an hour." ”
Feng looked at the old man and said with a smile: "Old man, a general like Wu Liegong, shouldn't it be common for us to stop in front of his statue, half an hour is not enough to read the inscription,"
When the old man heard this, tears appeared inexplicably in the corners of his eyes, he lowered his head, and said a little choked up between his words: "The statue of the great general, no one has come to visit it for a long time. ”
The three teenagers were stunned when they heard this, and Meng Lao seemed to understand something, sighed softly, and couldn't help but look back at the statue poured with molten iron.
The old man stepped forward slowly, carefully stroked the spear in Wu Liegong's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Back then, the general fought hard against the million soldiers under the command of King Lan with 500,000 Dangkou troops, and he fought to the death.
Actually, it doesn't sound like anything shocking, but if you put it another way, the general with 500,000 Tang troops, he stubbornly resisted the million army of King Lan......!
"What?!" Feng Jin and Feng Mou lost their voices at the same time.
500,000 Tang troops against a million war troops? What are you kidding, no matter how strong Great Xia is, it is impossible to use the Tang army to face the armies of other worlds!
Since ancient times, the system of nine capitals, three halls and two dynasties has been inherited for thousands of years.
Jiujing is both a status and an official position.
The three halls are the realm hall, the ministry hall, and the city hall.
The two dynasties were imperial and dynastic.
The original meaning of the Tang Army is the army of the three halls, which is directly governed by the prince. The war army was also called the imperial army at the earliest, and the original meaning was the army of the two dynasties, which was directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor.
In ancient times, the successive years of killing and conquest made the kings understand a truth, that is, there are not many soldiers, but the essence. As a result, the figure of the Tang army on the battlefield became more and more rare, and the battlefield almost became a battle between the Korean army, so the Korean army was gradually called the war army, which was more intuitively described.
After the fall of the human emperor, the princes and princes each divided one side to do the trespassing, so they simply changed the court army to the war army, and the world at that time was full of power, and there were many gods like dogs, and the war army and the Tang army also became the difference in strength.
Until the riot years, the standard system of the war army was one training and two meals a day, and the food could be described as a meal with meat, and many elixirs were distributed quarterly to help the soldiers improve their cultivation.
The original system implemented by the Tang Army was one training every three days, two meals a day during training and one meal a day during vacations.
However, compared with the war army, the system of the Tang army has many more changes, such as training every two days when the war army is insufficient, waiting to be replenished, and training once a week when the war army is sufficient.
Even when the treasury is insufficient, there is one meal a day during the rest and one meal a day during training.
In ancient times, it was not the same as it is now, the land did not see the flames of war for five days, and there was prosperity and peace everywhere, and the common people had land to plant, food to eat, and even wealthy, and they began to eat three meals a day.
In ancient times, three meals a day was at least the treatment of a prince, and it was an extravagant prince, because the vast majority of kings had two meals a day, and they did not pay attention to three meals a day at all.
The gap between the war army and the Tang army is not only reflected in the training and treatment, but also in the strength of the army.
Great Xia has the most powerful army in the Five Heavens and Earth, which has always been maintained at five million, and it is said that even ordinary soldiers who are familiar with the gods cannot enter!
During the riot years, although it was slightly insufficient compared to now, Xia Wen was not comparable to Lan Wen, but the war army was the war army, and no matter how strong the Tang army was, it was impossible to defeat the war army due to the limitations of resources!
Wu Liegong commanded 500,000 Tang troops to face a million war army, what is the concept?
The war army is generally one dozen ten, and I have never heard of where the Tang army can resist the second war army!
With such a world-wide gap, Wu Liegong dared to lead the Dangkou army to confront it head-on, it was already a monstrous courage, and in the end, he even succeeded in blocking it, what an unbelievable thing.
For a while, Feng Jin and Feng Mou's eyes when they looked at Wu Liegong changed, if it was because he was respected because he fought to the death until he fell, then now it is purely in awe.
Feng Jin looked at the old man whose qi and blood had decayed, and said in surprise: "Old man, dare to ask you ......"
The old man turned his head, and his wrinkled face was suddenly filled with pride, "I am under the command of the general, and the general of the Dangkou army is also!"
As soon as these words came out, even Meng Lao couldn't help but be moved, stared at the old man deadly, and looked at him again.
The old man grinned, revealing his only three remaining teeth, and said, "At the beginning, we fought the Lan King with the general, and the old man was also the one who killed dozens of Lan soldiers!"
As soon as the words came out, the three teenagers were like being struck by lightning, and their mouths opened wide, as if they could stuff eggs.
The old man paused, and then said: "At that time, we were in Qingxikou, occupying a favorable situation, fighting to the death against a million soldiers in Lanyan, the brothers in front died, and the brothers in the back were on the mat, and stopped them alive in the mountain pass.
Later, the great power of their army was exhausted, and although our Dangkou army was not afraid of death, it was also unable to stop so much power, and they broke through the defense line.
The general was ...... at that time He was seriously injured and hit by several cold arrows, but he still alone involved the power of tracing back to the origin of the Lan Yan army, so that we could face opponents of similar strength to ourselves, and we would not die in meaningless battles.
It's a pity, God doesn't open his eyes!
We survived until reinforcements came, and His Royal Highness King Ping personally led the troops!
However, His Royal Highness King Ping is one step late, just one step short, and the general may survive!
In the end, the Lan army withdrew, and less than 50,000 of our old brothers, from the general to the men and grooms, remained. His Royal Highness King Ping promised us that he would definitely avenge the general, and then King Lan really died, Lan Zhen was gone, and our group of old brothers could be regarded as fulfilling the only wish in our hearts.
His Royal Highness changed the name of the general's hometown to Dangkou Castle, erected a statue of him in the center of the city, and allowed us old brothers to return to their hometowns with their wounds.
But in our group of people, a few of us still have families, and none of our relatives are left, the general treats us like a son, and we regard the general as a father!
So we came to this city together, these years, we wiped the statue of the general every day, swept the dust, and it was also a piece of filial piety.
It's a pity, our group of veterans who should have died on the battlefield a long time ago, who don't have a lot of old injuries and dark diseases, are just people who can't live long......
Hey, help the general wipe the statue for a few more days, sweep the dust for a few days, and I'm going down to meet the old brothers, go down, I still have to be the general's soldier!" the old man raised his sleeve and wiped the tears overflowing from his cloudy eyes, grinning.
The three of Feng Jin, all of them had red circles under their eyes at this time, looking at this slightly rickety, gray-haired old man, and they couldn't speak for a long time.
After a long time, Feng Jin suddenly said softly: "Old man, where are your old brothers sleeping?"
The old man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and finally reacted for a long time, looked at Feng Jin with cloudy eyes, grinned his only three remaining teeth and smiled: "On a small hillside ten miles south of the city, it won't be long before I want to go!"
Looking at the old man's happy smile, Feng Jin felt as if his heart was being caught.
What made the old man so happy to meet death?
What made this old man wipe the statue and sweep the dust for a few more days before he died?
The necklace on his chest emitted wisps of coolness, and Feng Jin suddenly thought of Chang Nianchun, who was obviously desperately trying to escape, and had a chance to be alone, but he did not hesitate to choose to protect the disciples of the sect, even if they died together.
Feng Jin thought of the group of Ten Thousand Lotus Sect people who were covered in blood and would rather die than protect their Golden Lotus Holy Maiden in the middle, even if they were hung with just one breath.
The soldiers have no regrets about dying in the battle for the sake of their families, so what are the people of the sect dying for the saints? What are the people in the sect dying for their disciples?
Faith, mission, feelings?
Feng Jin's whole person began to be in a trance, and he asked himself in his heart, what is he living for, will he die for others?
Feng Jin thought about it for a long time before he realized that he only wanted to improve his cultivation a little, even a little, as long as he could make the master and a few old grandfathers happy and satisfied, this was the purpose of his life.
He really didn't think about who he was dying for, master, a few old grandfathers, Uncle Mingwang, or Feng, Jiangge, Yin Bu?
Suddenly, Feng Jin's mind thought of that inexplicable picture again, the picture that he didn't even know what color it was, whether it was a person or a thing.
Perhaps the purpose of his life is to add one more thing, that is, to remember that picture, to find out why he, who was born to know, and who clearly remembers the first scene when he opened his eyes when he entered the world, why did he forget that picture? Why is there such a strong affirmation in his mind that it really exists?
Perhaps, that was the first scene when I opened my eyes when I entered the WTO!
