It's a cool September morning.

The sky was bright, and the Jizhou army set off for the camp and marched to the county seat of Jixian County.

At noon, they arrived at the place where they were engaged in the battle with the Youzhou army. Wang Lei ordered the army to stop marching, he got out of the carriage and walked slowly to the hillside where the battle was engaged. After entering the battlefield, you can clearly see that the ground is dark purple, which is formed by the blood flowing on the ground after the two sides fought.

Qiu Hua, as a witness of this battle, personally followed Wang Lei's side. He pointed to the first hill and introduced, "Lord Governor, the first hill is the location of the other party's ambush. At that time, Qin Li and I led the front army to arrive here and launched an attack on the convenience. And in this place, there are both archers and spearmen in a spear formation to resist, so that we can not break through, but can only fight bloodily. ”

Wang Lei hummed and looked at the area.

The topography of this area is very peculiar, and the road is winding, which can be called nine curves and eighteen bends. The most important thing is that the mountains rise and fall one after another, forming a natural ambush site.

Looking at the topography of this area, Wang Lei roughly understood what was going on.

Wang Lei changed his words and asked, "Where are the ashes of the soldiers buried?" ”

Qiu Hua replied respectfully: "There are countless mountains in front and back, resulting in a very long battle line, and from the entrance to the exit of this area, almost all soldiers have died. So every few hills, the bones of soldiers were piled up and burned, and the ashes were scattered everywhere, but they were not gathered together. ”

Wang Lei made the final decision and ordered: "Go to the second mountain to erect a monument!" ”

Immediately, Shi Ah asked people to carry the carved stele and go to the second mountain. This stele is about one zhang long and four feet wide, and the stele is engraved with four words 'Heroes are immortal', and then a string of descriptive texts for this battle, eulogizing the bloody battles of the soldiers.

Coming to the second mountain, Wang Lei and the soldiers dug a pit and erected a monument.

After the stele was erected, Wang Lei nodded at Lu Bu.

I saw that Lu Bu gave one order after another, and after a while, the generals who followed followed followed with the soldiers started from the top of the mountain in turn, and stood around this mountain, and there were no more soldiers standing on the mountain, and the rest of the soldiers spread out and stood, all around the stele on the mountain.

Tens of thousands of troops stood solemnly.

Tens of thousands of products, with the mourning of the brave!

Wang Lei stood in front of the stele, took a deep breath, adjusted his breath, and said loudly: "Today, we are here to pay tribute to the dead heroes. ”

Wang Lei is located in the most central and highest position, and after the voice comes out, tens of thousands of troops under his command can hear it.

The voice is loud and echoes in the distance.

The soldiers around the hill all had stiff faces and looked very solemn.

"Salute, bow!"

When the words fell, Wang Lei bent down and saluted towards the erected stone monument.

Guo Jia, Tian Feng, Xianpei, Xu You and other ministers, as well as Lu Bu, Qiu Hua, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Shi A and other military generals, all bent down and saluted. Immediately, the sound of armor rubbing was heard, and countless soldiers bowed in the direction of the stone monument.

"Two bows!"

A loud voice came out, and Wang Lei bowed for the second time.

And all the people saluted according to their words.

All the soldiers were silent, and not one of them spoke. They are also soldiers, Wang Lei personally mourned the dead soldiers, and the soldiers in the army felt something and were quite sad when they saw this scene.

"Three bows!"

As a third loud voice came out, the crowd bowed again.

After saluting, Wang Lei stood in front of the stele and shouted, "Bring the wine!" The soldier came with some jars of wine and laid them on the ground. Wang Lei took a jar of wine, patted open the mud seal, and held the wine jar high: "Respect our heroes!" ”

Wow!

The wine spilled, wetting the dirt in front of the stele.

Tens of thousands of soldiers stood solemnly, and the atmosphere was solemn.

After Wang Lei finished doing this, he turned around and turned his back to the stele. His expression was sincere, his eyes swept over the dense soldiers around him one by one, and he said loudly: "The soldiers who sleep forever in this land, I can say for sure that they are well-deserved heroes, the pride of our Jizhou fathers, and the pride of our Jizhou army." ”

"Heroes are immortal!"

Suddenly, Shi Ah shouted loudly.

This shout came quite suddenly. Although Shi Ah is thin and not tall, he is full of energy. A shout was like a thunderbolt on the ground, and the people around heard it.

"Heroes are immortal!"

Lu Bu's expression was solemn, and he also echoed loudly.

"Heroes are immortal!"

Zhou Tai, Gan Ning, Tai Shici and other generals had a strong breath, echoing the shouting, and the voice spread far away. The soldiers around the hill all heard this shout.

"Heroes are immortal!"

"Heroes are immortal!"

The undulating sound kept ringing and reverberating.

This voice is harder than steel, sharper than a sword, and can cut through everything, and pierce golden stones.

After a long time, Wang Lei raised his hand and pressed down, and the surroundings gradually quieted down.

Wang Lei's eyes looked around the soldiers, and from the eyes of the soldiers, Wang Lei could feel the expansion of morale and the fearless momentum in the eyes of the soldiers.

What Wang Lei wants is exactly this effect.

On the one hand, to pay tribute to the soldiers; On the other hand, cheer up the soldiers.

Wang Lei puffed up his breath and continued: "In this piece of land, the 20,000 sons of my Jizhou army have fallen into the trap set by Gongsun Zhan; In this place, 20,000 sons fought bloodily, preferring to die rather than surrender; In this place, 20,000 Erlang blocked the enemy's attack with his flesh and blood, successfully inflicted heavy losses on the enemy, and defeated the Youzhou army. ”

As the words continued, Wang Lei's voice became more and more high-pitched.

A few years ago, for the sake of profit, Gongsun Chan reneged on his alliance with Jizhou and chose to be in cahoots with Yuan Shao. He led his army into Zhongshan, when Jizhou was in a difficult situation, with Gongsun Zan and Wuhuan in the north, Yuan Shao in the east, and the Yellow Turban thieves in Qingzhou in the south. In desperation, I ceded the Zhongshan Kingdom. ”

"The previous shame, Wang Lei remembers it in his heart, and he still remembers it vividly."

"Today, we entered Youzhou and killed Jixian County. Now that we are only thirty miles away from Jixian County, we have already arrived here, can we withdraw our troops and go back? ”

Wang Lei waved his arm and asked loudly.

"You can't withdraw troops, you can't withdraw !!"

The voices of the soldiers echoed one after another, and they continued to reverberate in the sky over this area for a long time.

Wang Lei motioned for the soldiers to be quiet and continued: "Gongsun Chan entered Zhongshan Kingdom, occupied my territory, killed my relatives, and slaughtered my brothers, such a big revenge, I can't help but revenge. In front of him, there are 20,000 brothers' lives. You say, can you spare Gongsun Zhan? ”

"Can't!"

The uniform sound reverberated violently.

The momentum of the soldiers was completely mobilized. If when Wang Lei arrived, the morale of the army was a rusty iron sword, then now, it is already sharp.

Wang Lei raised his arms and waved his high, and ordered: "Assemble the army, advance!" ”

The order was issued, and the generals in the army immediately reorganized the soldiers and marched to Jixian County.
