When the commander of the sky was tired, the battlefield had been cleaned, and the bodies of those soldiers had been carefully wrapped in white cloth, neatly placed on the cart and buried in the old camp cemetery in Huluyu when they were ready to return to the army.

These men who lick blood all day long are the life of those who die, and if they win, they can get their brothers to remember the love of the past, dig a pit and bury it, and it is a blessing to invite heaven not to let themselves be violent corpses in the wilderness, most of them are discarded at will to let the corpses be full of wolf kisses, where is it as solemn as the army, so that their brothers can return to their roots with dignity? With this alone, I have the idea that joining the army is really reassuring.

The concept of Chinese, which has been engraved in genetic inheritance, and that fallen leaves return to the soil for peace, is incomprehensible to other foreigners and foreigners, but because of this concept, the national soul that has not been extinguished despite many disasters for 5,000 years has been achieved.

Lu Shi deeply understood and knew this, so he conformed to everyone's feelings, and put forward an idea at a digression meeting in his own cave, that is, according to the method of the martyrs' cemetery in later generations, in the innermost part of the old camp in Huluyu, on the most beautiful mountain, facing the valley mouth, open up a collective cemetery of warrior brothers, if you are not willing to enter the ancestral grave or do not have your own ancestral grave brothers, they will be buried here collectively, and there is a special person responsible for the four seasons of sprinkling and sacrificial, and constantly incense, no matter where to fight, The remains of the sacrificed brothers in the case of the best possible situation, must be transported back to the Huluyu old camp martyrs cemetery for burial, if the war is unfavorable or summer or too far from the old camp, then it must also be cremated brothers' bones, take the cloth back for burial, this proposal was immediately approved by all the brothers, the soldiers learned the news is even more jubilant, are to the king of Chuang sympathy for everyone, combat effectiveness and combat enthusiasm unconsciously increased a lot.

In fact, according to many resolutions that won the hearts of the people and the army, they were formed in this way in the off-topic meeting, which is also the benefit of the cave meeting, there was no big event at night, and the leaders of the base area came to Lu Shi's cave with water bowls.

Now, unlike the soldiers who broke into the army, the dead Xiangyong on the battlefield were also looted by the friendly troops who rushed to help the boxing into a white body, Cao Meng and Guo Tianxing also went to Ganquan City, shouting at the Xiangyong and the officials and soldiers in the city, hoping that they could send people out of the city to bury and collect them, but Zhang Yuan and the thousand households, as well as the county Zun who hid under the county ya's bed, did not send people out, I was afraid that this was a ploy by Cao Meng and Guo Tianxing, and how to open Ganquan County, which made those Zhang Yuan Xiangyong even more chilled and demoralized.

Helplessly, under the advice of Guo Tianxing and Cao Meng, the base paid money and food, mobilized friendly troops and those prisoners together, increased excavation on the basis of the fortress moat, and buried these poor townspeople.

When Lu Shi hurried over with the spear brigade, everything was already over, Lu Shi just looked up and down with red eyes and a pale face, looking up and down tiredly at Cao Meng, who had come to meet him for a while, and smiled weakly: "Very good, very good, but next time it will be impossible." ”

Cao Meng heard the relieved concern and heartache in Lu Shi's short words, and Cao Meng choked up and replied: "King Chuang forgives, Cao Meng is reckless, and the brothers are worried." But as soon as the conversation changed, he said with a firm face: "But if there is a next time, I will still do this." ”

Lu Shi looked at Cao Meng like this, and after a while, he reached out and patted Cao Meng's shoulder, and then pressed it on Cao Meng's shoulder without saying anything.

Cao Meng hurriedly stepped forward to support the crumbling Lu Shi: "King Chuang, rest quickly, the mountain road of more than 200 miles in the past two days and one night is difficult for the brothers, it is all Mencius who is not good, so King Chuang is worried." After that, he choked up again.

Yun'er hurriedly stepped forward, helped Lu Shi to sit on a big stone, and brought a bowl of hot water to Lu Shi, Lu Shi nodded his head with the hot water, smiled tiredly, and whispered: "Thank you, please brothers send some to our spearmen brothers." ”

Everyone was accustomed to King Chuang's sincere politeness, and Yun'er said with a smile: "King Chuang, but please rest assured, the Great Commander has made arrangements for his subordinates." Lu Shi nodded and drank the bowl of warm water with confidence. Let out a long sigh.

In fact, along the way, Lu Shi can be said to have endured all the hardships.

At that time, he broke up with Guo Tianxing, and asked the cavalry to rush to the Ganquan battlefield as soon as possible to support Cao Meng, at that time, I just thought that Zhang Yuan's house, but only three thousand township bravery, even if you add Ganquan's guards, it is only three thousand five hundred, Zhang Yuan just arrived in the county, and must have rested for a day and a half, as long as Cao Meng refused to defend the old cottage in the original, I thought that Zhang Yuan could not really work hard, so there was no hurry, and the army was sorted out to maintain physical strength and Zhang Yuan to fight a decisive battle slowly, and the mountain road was rugged, which was very difficult. From time to time, there are also machetes to cut thorns to pass the baggage carriage, that the stars are more refreshing, after all, just with a day's dry food and drinking water, along the road lightly and quickly, but there are also places where the road is not passable and have to get off the horse-drawn horse to walk.

Lu Shi marched normally for half a day, and suddenly received a hurried report from a sergeant sent by Cao Meng, the chief manager Cao Meng actually ignored his own thin sergeant, led his men and horses straight to the gate of Ganquan City, and poured water and froze the city at a dangerous place three miles away from the city, blocking Zhang Yuan from stepping into the newly established base for half a step.

This Cao Meng is like this, not to mention anything else, it is this move to block people's doors that can stimulate a clay figure to be a little bloody, in this way, the Ganquan military household and the county zun, as well as that Zhang Yuan must be desperate with him, decided to light the army, discard all the carts and baggage, only bring two days of dry food and drinking water and weapons and rattan armor, and rush to Ganquan City to support Cao Meng.

The army overcame all the thorns and thorns to move forward, and soon received a report from the prison sergeant who rushed to report the news, when the prison sergeant ran out of breath, and saw Lu Shi almost speechless, the war horse was covered with injuries from the thorns along the way, and when it stopped, it just neighed and fell to the ground and died on the spot.

As soon as Lu Shi heard this, he knew that the situation was urgent, and he didn't bother to answer the sergeant, jumped onto a big stone, and shouted loudly to the brothers who were hurrying along the way: "Brothers, there is an urgent report ahead, our Cao Meng brothers are in danger with six hundred brothers and one hundred masters, and they urgently need our reinforcements. ”

As soon as those brothers heard that Cao Meng and the other brothers were in a tight situation and urgently needed reinforcements, they did not hesitate to discard the excess dry food and drinking water on their bodies, and once again accelerated the pace of the march.

At this time, Lu Shicai rushed to the prison sergeant and asked about the battlefield situation of the brother who had just recovered, this prison sergeant was a member of the squad that rushed out, and was more familiar with the battlefield. Hurriedly told the military division about the situation on the battlefield and Cao Meng's arrangement, when he heard that Cao Meng only defended the fortress with only 500 brothers, but the confrontation was Zhang Yuan's original 3,000 Xiangyong and later more than 2,000 local landlords and strong armies who continued to contribute and gather, as well as Ganquan signed Ding 2,000, when the guards were 800, Lu Shi's face was white, and it was really frightened that the seven souls went to six, and he was speechless for a long time, and when he woke up in everyone's shouts, he hurriedly took out the map to see, However, the prison sergeant has not been here a few times, and the map is based on the principle of not drawing it in detail, and this area is not marked at all, so Lu Shi hurriedly called the guide and the prison sergeant in charge of patrolling and spying to inquire about the distance and road conditions from here to Ganquan.

The guide thought carefully for a long time, and then said to Lu Shi carefully: "Heavenly King, I don't know much where this place is, I think it will be about sixty or seventy miles away from the mountain, and after going out of the mountain, I will go to the plain and then under Ganquan City, and I will have to travel another twenty miles." When he looked at the sergeant, he nodded yes.

Lu Shi is really anxious, with the current marching situation, it takes a day and a night to get out of this fifty-mile mountain road, now the sky has begun to darken, and it is even more difficult for the army to walk the mountain road, I am afraid that it will be slower several times, but the rescue is like fighting fire, Cao Meng is the enemy who resists nearly twenty times, or guarding the hastily built ice castle, and there is no equipment to defend the city, and the soldiers and horses are divided, it is extremely dangerous, look at the soldiers who hurriedly walked by, and said to Chen San, who was anxious with the same face: "Tell to go down, Pick out those who are not physically good in the rear team to collect materials, organize strong and strong people to form a commando team, and tell everyone that it is critical to go out, and we will rush forward lightly again. ”

"Yes." Without saying a word, Chen San ran to the front and back with a few loud sergeants, and in an instant, the loud announcements and military orders spread throughout the entire marching procession.

Pack light again, what else can you clear? Only the rattan armor rattan helmet that only weighed more than 20 catties on the body, when the firearms battalion could not keep up with the support army at all, this rattan armor rattan helmet was the only protective equipment for everyone to deal with the arrow rain of the officers and soldiers when the gun array was first formed, but in order to rescue Cao Meng and other cottage brothers, all the people did not hesitate to unbuckle and throw away the life-saving rattan armor rattan helmet, and then swallowed the dry food on the body as much as possible, drank as dry as much water as possible, tightened the belt and leggings, and threw off the fast stride to overcome thorns and thorns.

There are no so-called people with poor physical strength to leave the team, and even if there are, they all grit their teeth and follow up, and those discarded things can only be collected by the brothers of the firearms battalion who can't catch up with them, and Lu Shi also rode a white horse to boost the morale of the front and back, and rushed all the way.

The more you go to the moon, the more difficult it is, along the way I began to see the things discarded by the Black Tiger Star Cavalry, and then I saw the dying war horses thrown by the Black Tiger Star Cavalry in the ditch on the side of the road, but no brothers were left behind, and it seemed that the Black Tiger Star walking in front was even more difficult, although there were war horses to ride, but they had to take on the heavy responsibility of opening the mountain and splitting the road, so the consumption of physical strength was not easier than the spearmen brought by Lu Shi. Slowly it was getting dark, and according to the regulations, it should be the time to set up camp and go down, but no one mentioned these things, everyone just hurried with their heads bored, Lu Shi ordered everyone to light torches and continue to march, and after a while, a fire dragon rolled forward on the mountain path.
