Li Xinchen turned around slowly, the wind blew his sleeves, looking at the mound of soil that stretched all the way to the foot of Jing Mountain, Li Xinchen felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

In any case, it was he who had brought these soldiers here, and now he can still stand, but most of them can only be buried here, turning into a pinch of loess as the years go by.

"Shizhong." Xiao Shilian, who was standing beside Li Xinchen, said in a low voice, reminding Li Xinchen that he could start.

Li Xinchen bowed slightly, this sacrificial text has been brewing in his heart for a long time, and he did not let others write it. In Li Xinchen's view, it is better to say it in more plain language than to ask others to write a sacrificial essay with gorgeous rhetoric but no true feelings in it.

After all, there are so many soldiers present, and there are not many who are really literate, and how many can understand?

All the soldiers held their breath, and their eyes were firmly fixed on Li Xinchen. And Li Xinchen's sonorous voice, which has become familiar to many people, echoes in the wilderness and in the wind.

"In June of the tenth year of Da Chen Taijian, Yu led Da Chen to fight in Zhangshan County, blocking ten times the enemy here······

Bloody battles are fought day and night, only the sky is dark; Regardless of where they belong, they all strive to be the first······

There are many wounded people and countless people buried in the field, but the officers and men of the whole army are united and bloody, turning the tide and blocking the building······

The enemy chieftain is late, and the famous generals are also, but under the city, the soldiers are lost, and they are embarrassed······

Now the enemy retreated, a certain one, Li Xinchen, fortunately, was able to die in the main sacrifice battle in Brother Paoze, Zhangshan County!

Woo hoo lament, the soldiers who are stubborn and brave in battle, the soul returns!

Woohoo and mourn, bloody fighting, stubbornly defending the robe of the lonely city, the soul returns!

The Soul Returns—"

There was only one voice echoing in the wilderness, but it was exceptionally clear and powerful.

A few days ago, the same voice used to humiliate the city's Wei Chi Hui and the Northern Zhou people; A few days later, it was the same voice that brought the news of victory to all the soldiers who had fallen first.

This wisp of soul that fell on Zhangshan County seemed to really come to life, roaring and shouting in the wind as before, hovering and roaring above the sky.

They overlook the place where they once fought, and they also guard every brother in the robe who stands there motionless.

"Shang Fang." Li Xinchen's last two words were said with difficulty, and his eyes were already slightly moist.

Because of this battle of nine deaths and life, and because he faintly heard the shouts and roars in the wind.

It is vivid, as if it were a lifetime away.

"Pour the wine!" Xiao Shilian shouted loudly at the top of his voice.

A jar of wine that had been painstakingly transferred from Gangneung was rudely opened, and the aroma of the wine wafted into everyone's pores. However, all the soldiers just quietly watched the scene in front of them. The grinding of the bloody battle made them a little more solemn, and the continuous mound of dirt in front of them made them consciously abide by the discipline that no one emphasized.

Li Xinchen's hand trembled slightly, and he picked up the first bowl of wine, and the fragrant wine spilled directly on the wild grass with a swing of Li Xinchen's wrist.

No one standing here has the right to compete with the lying down for the first bowl of wine. And as Li Xinchen slammed the wine bowl on the ground, the soldiers behind could no longer contain their mood and burst out shouting.

The cry drifted in the wind, and the once vivid life, Brother Paoze, who was close at hand, was gone forever.

They rejoiced in their death for the rest of their lives, and they wept bitterly for those comrades who could no longer laugh and scold, and how many oaths of "being with the son, sharing life and death" were finally in vain.

"Speaking of which, the last time everyone raised a bowl to drink, it was still looking at Beizhai." Li Xinchen barely squeezed out a smile.

Xiao Shilian's face was also solemn. From Wangbeizhai to this Zhangshan County, more than half of the people fell, which also means that half of the people have no way to drink with them.

"At least we won this battle." Li Xinchen exhaled.

At least give an explanation to all those who fell along the way.

"What's next?" Xiao Shilian raised his eyebrows.

Li Xinchen turned his head to look south: "Let's go, we should also pack up the team and go back to Jiangling to repair." The defense here can be handed over to reinforcements, and General Ren Zhong, who is about to arrive, will be happy to help us keep an eye on Wei Chi Yuan. ”

Xiao Shilian smiled and nodded: "I finally breathe a sigh of relief." ”

"I'm afraid it's not so easy," Li Xinchen interrupted him, frowning slightly, "In this Jiangling City, I don't know what turmoil there is." ”

Xiao Shilian's face sank slightly, and he could figure out Li Xinchen's worries to some extent. In the final analysis, too many people were involved in this war, and this credit is not only the credit of Li Xinchen or his Xiao Shilian, nor is it only the credit of Xiao Maha.

Sometimes there are too many people, but it will be in vain.

"I'd rather fight with Wei Chi Yu again." Xiao Shilian muttered with emotion, and the helplessness in his words Li Xinchen heard very clearly.

But they are standing here at this moment, and they can't even save the lives of the thousands of soldiers in these mounds in front of them, let alone the rest? How many people, how many families, how many interests are involved behind this war, and how many people can see it clearly?

And this time the battle of Zhangshan County and the previous battle to capture Xiao Yue, it can be said that all these people present have been pushed to the cusp. But under the gaze of countless eyes, how can this cusp be so easy to walk on the ground?

Li Xinchen narrowed his eyes slightly and remained silent.

If you want to change all this, you must stand at the top of the entire era with the wind and thunder that can break everything!

The Battle of Zhangshan was an end for this war, but for Li Xinchen, it was a new beginning.

——————————————————-

"Your Majesty's will······ Is it to let the prince come to reward the three armies? ”

In the Jiangling Left Guard General's Mansion, the former Jiangling Governor's Mansion of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Xiao Maha paced back and forth with some uneasiness, and the private letters that were delivered from the Jiankang Mansion were placed on Xiao Maha's desk.

Although Chen Ji's will has not yet been announced to the world, he has already notified the East Palace one step ahead, and Shen Jungao wrote a letter to Jiangling as soon as he got the news, and hurried to hurry, in short, he rushed in front of the holy decree.

"I guess Your Majesty's decree won't arrive in a day or two." Chen Yu, who was standing behind Xiao Maha, couldn't help but whisper, "How is the general going to arrange?" ”

Now Pei Zilie, Li Xinchen and others are still on the way back from the class teacher of Zhangshan County, and Chen Yu is the only one who is qualified to stand by Xiao Maha's side and share the news with him. Li Xinchen and the others are not there, although Chen Yu is powerless, but he also has to play a role in helping Xiao Maha share his worries.

Xiao Maha rubbed his chin lightly: "Boqing, they are coming back soon, Shen Gong informed the news one step in advance, which must indicate that the prince's visit this time is far more complicated than we imagined." In this way, you first send orders to the various departments in the name of so-and-so, straighten out the army, pacify the people, and inspect the surrounding area, no matter what unknown twists and turns there are, we should do this first. ”

Chen Yu nodded hurriedly, while Xiao Maha frowned slightly: "As for the rest······ Let's wait······ We still have time. ”
