The palace is majestic, the candles are blazing, Geng Gong led the thirteen warriors to listen to the seal in front of the palace, surrounded by hundreds of civil and military officials, and retreated, Emperor Zhang got up and sent him off in person. Thousands of people walked out of Xuanwu Gate, crossed Luoyang Street, suddenly heard the noise of gongs and drums, and the voices of people were boiling, Geng Gong couldn't help but be surprised: "I don't know what auspicious day it is today?" How can it be so lively? ”

Zhang Feng was not to be left behind: "What Brother Dare said is that he has been hungry in Shule for eight lifetimes, and when he arrives in Luoyang, he wants to gnaw two bites of soil when he sees it." Brother, you said that the emperor doesn't reward some wine and meat, and he seals a Raush horse and army, it's not practical, it's useless! Now our stomachs are still empty! Brother Dare, let's go, let's go quickly, it's late, the wine and meat will be gone! ”

Fan Qiang said: "Big brother, looking at this frame, it seems to welcome us." As soon as the words fell, a column of people beating gongs and drums arrived in front of them. An elder with gray hair jumped out, held a flower as red as blood, bent down slightly, and said, "Dare to ask who Geng Gong is?" ”

"Ah, you're Geng Gong." The elder took a step back, looked up and down, and praised with a firm thumb: "Yes, yes, only such majestic can be worthy of the title of warrior!" He couldn't help but say, threw the red flower, circled Geng Gong's neck, his gray beard trembled slightly, and said excitedly: "When Han Gaozu returned to his hometown, he struck and sang, the wind was blowing and the clouds were flying, Weijia returned to his hometown in the sea, and the warriors guarded the Quartet!" Nowadays, the border is restless, barbarians are everywhere, beacon fires are continuous, and the country thinks of warriors! No food and no water, no soldiers and no generals, you stick to Shule, would rather die than give in, and pass Su Wu, I am really a hero of the Han Dynasty, a hero of the Han Dynasty, everyone says, isn't it? ”

"Dahan Hero!"

There was a wave of joy and thunderous applause. Geng Gong's eyes moistened, and he seemed to see that those Han warriors, looking at the tide-like Huns, were not afraid, stepping on the tired corpses again and again, and rushing back and forth to kill them desperately...... Geng Gong muttered: "They are the good men of my big man, but they will never come back...... he couldn't help but be very sad.

The elder waved his hand, and the crowd walked out respectfully, holding flowers in their hands, hanging them around the necks of Fan Qiang and the others one by one. In the face of this warm and crazy scene, Fan Qiang and the others also remembered the war-torn time in the Western Regions, and burst into tears one by one.

"General Geng, you have 300 soldiers against 100,000 Huns, who doesn't know."

"No water, no food, no soldiers, no generals, but General Geng can defend Shule and stand tall without surrendering, this courage, this solar term, moving the heavens and the earth!"

As soon as the words fell, the big men slapped the lid of the wine. Suddenly the aroma of wine overflowed, they took the sea bowl, poured it one by one, and handed it to Geng Gong and the others. These great warriors who have gone through life and death, with tears in their eyes, stretched out their hands, resolutely took the wine, raised their heads, and drank it all!

Fan Qiang stepped forward, attached to Geng Gong's ear, and whispered: "Big brother, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are many ears and eyes, not to mention that among the people, there are many fish and dragons, and we are so public, I am afraid that it will cause criticism and cause trouble." ”

The elders persuaded hard, but Geng Gong just didn't obey. Among the thirteen warriors, one person flashed out, but it was Yang Yan, who leaned into Geng Gong's ear and whispered: "Big brother, the brothers abandoned their wives and children, followed us out of the plug, bathed in the wind and cold, stayed in the rain and dew, came in the knife, went in the fire, what is it for?" Isn't it just to get ahead and glorify your ancestors? Although the emperor was sealed, but the reward was not meritorious, and now the people treat us as national soldiers, why don't my brothers push the boat and let the brothers show off their hometown? Otherwise, it will chill everyone's hearts. ”

The elder was overjoyed, his dantian was angry, his hands were raised, and he shouted: "Get up the sedan chair!" The big man got up, lifted Geng Gong and other Han warriors, and walked towards Geng's mansion proudly. The people rejoiced, beat gongs and drums, and followed suit.

When Geng Gong and the others left the palace, Liu Zhang had already called his henchmen to follow him, and he was clear about what was happening. He smiled slightly: "General Dou, it's not a mutiny, this matter, it's big or big, it's small and small, why don't you guess it." ”
