Chapter 117: Commitment
Since the people who accompanied him had already agreed, Jiang Wei walked to the middle and said impressively: "The generals will listen to the order!" ”
Guan Ping, Ju Fu, and Wang Ping all walked quickly to him, bowed down and hugged their fists, and waited for him to give orders.
"Xiaoxing, you go and collect Yulinwei, and the whole army will gather in half an hour!"
"Anguo, please go to Jingzhou to select twenty soldiers who can ride horses and operate ships, and merge them into Yulin Guard!"
"Zijun, you quickly entrust the Shangyong soldiers to General Guan Ping, and then go to the prisoner camp to pick up some Wu army uniforms, flags, tokens and other things, it will be of great use!"
"The last general commands!"
Several generals took their own orders and left.
Jiang Wei turned to Guan Yu and pleaded: "Jun Hou, the plan to ignite the fire will be borne by one force." The key to this plan lies in whether or not it can break through Jiang Qinshui's camp. If it can be successfully taken, the last general will send someone back to deliver the letter as soon as possible. It's just that these wounded soldiers ......"
Guan Yu waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, if the road goes well, there is no reason to abandon the soldiers." ”
Jiang Wei bowed in thanks, paused, and said, "In this case, please wait with Xiang Taishou and the last general to go to the wounded camp." ”
After speaking, he walked to the wounded camp.
Guan Yu didn't doubt him, and strode to follow. Xiang Lang glanced at Xiang Pet, and the uncle and nephew also followed.
The crowd walked silently all the way to the camp for the sick and wounded. But I saw that the corpses of many dead soldiers were lying densely outside the tent, and this soldier was in a hurry, and there was not even a straw mat on his back or a white cloth to cover his body.
Seeing this, everyone had unbearable looks on their faces.
Jiang Wei said to Xiang Pet: "Please ask Brother Xiang to collect more firewood, the more the better." ”
Xiang Pet replied, clenched his fists and left.
Xiang Lang looked suspicious and asked, "What are you doing here, Boyo?" ”
Jiang Wei bowed slightly and replied; "Xiang Taishou wait, and you'll know in a while."
After a while, Xiang Pet led more than 100 soldiers back, and the soldiers each held a ball of firewood.
Jiang Wei immediately ordered them to spread the firewood on the ground, and instructed these soldiers to put the corpses of the dead soldiers on the firewood.
This move was not small, attracting many soldiers to rise up and watch. Even many of the wounded in the wounded camp were also disturbed, and those who could still walk on their feet couldn't help but go out of the camp to watch.
This Shi Bin walked in front of Jiang Wei, and when he saw that Jiang Wei was already holding a torch in his hand, he persuaded: "General Jiang, it is winter now, the weather is cold, there will be no epidemic infection, and there is no need to set fire to the corpse." ”
Jiang Wei shook his head and asked rhetorically, "Have the names and origins of the brothers been recorded?" ”
Shi Bin admitted: "They were all sent here by their comrades-in-arms." Names have long been registered. ”
Jiang Wei bowed slightly, ignoring him no longer. He walked to the onlookers. He looked around, sank his dantian, and said loudly:
"Brothers, I am Yulin Zuocheng Jiang Wei is also. There should be many people among the brothers who know me Jiang. I know that you are all loyal and iron-clad good men, and because you believed Jiang's words that day, you were not afraid of hardships and dangers, and resolutely followed. After many battles, but without any complaints, Wei thanked the brothers for their trust in advance! ”
After saying that, Jiang Wei clasped his fists and bowed deeply towards the corpse of the sacrificed soldier, and then bowed in the direction of the wounded barracks and the onlookers.
When Jiang Wei led the reinforcements to win three battles and three victories, he was already quite prestigious in the army. When the soldiers saw this, they all hurriedly returned the salute:
"General Jiang is serious."
"It's a matter of course to be a soldier!"
"Follow General Jiang to fight happily, don't go back and forth to the world!"
Jiang Wei waved his hand, and after the scene calmed down again, he said:
"You are all good brothers who share life and death, how can thieves be rampant, several battles, even if they defeat strong enemies, Jiang has also seen many brothers sacrificed, and many brothers were injured. How painful it is in a certain heart......"
He patted himself on the chest and continued:
"On that day, Jiang promised you that he would take you home. It's just that there are still strong enemies on the road ahead, and the brothers who are alive can still fight their way out of a bloody road, so what about these dead brothers? ”
Jiang Wei said as he spoke, suddenly became excited, he pointed to the corpses of the sacrificed soldiers neatly displayed on the firewood behind him, and shouted in an almost hoarse voice:
"These dead brethren shed blood and sweat for the Han when they were alive, do we let them die in a foreign land, and become lonely ghosts who have no hope of returning home and no one to worship?"
He took a deep breath, and a cold air poured into his chest, barely calming the excitement in his heart:
"I don't know if you care about this thing. But Jiang cares very much! Even if Jiang can't take them back alive, he has to take their ashes back to his hometown for burial!
Not only that, Jiang also had to go to the king of Hanzhong, generously sympathize with his family and wife, and not worry about his livelihood; He should also be asked to build a martyr's shrine for the dead soldiers, so that they can enjoy the incense from generation to generation!
They shed their blood for Dahan, and Dahan will never let their family shed tears again! This is my Jiang Wei's promise to them and to you! ”
The sky and the earth were silent, only Jiang Wei's roar echoed in the camp.
The hearts of the soldiers were throbbing, and the court was still like this to the dead, let alone the living? Many people's chests were sore, and they were already in tears.
Guan Yu strode forward, standing side by side with Jiang Wei, with a solemn face, and said solemnly: "You can rest assured, Guan Mou will also guarantee his life in this matter!" ”
Hearing that under one person, above ten thousand, Guan Junhou, who had always made a promise, also made a promise in person, and all the soldiers in the camp couldn't hold back it anymore, and they cried and bowed down.
"Gentleman and noble!"
"General Jiang is benevolent!"
"This life is not in vain to be born in a big man!"
Thousands of people, in the crowd, everyone wants to express differently, the scene is heroic but a little scattered. I don't know who took the lead in shouting "Dahan Wansheng" first, and then more and more people followed and responded. After dozens of breaths, all the emotions and excitement in everyone's hearts turned into the same shout:
"Dahan Wansheng!"
"Dahan Wansheng!"
"Dahan Wansheng!"
Thousands of people shouted hysterically at the same time, and such shouts gathered together, and the heavens and the earth were shocked, and the clouds resounded.
Guan Yinping stood quietly aside, witnessing the scene in front of him from beginning to end, and at this moment, he had already cried into a tearful person.
She saw that the five big and three rough soldiers were all kneeling on the ground, laughing and crying, and the mountains and tsunamis did not stop;
When she saw the originally boring wounded man's face, she burst into tears, and her eyes burst out full of hope;
She saw Shi Bin, a military doctor who had always been accustomed to seeing life and death parting and had an expressionless face, choked up and was speechless, and raised her sleeves countless times to wipe her face......
Today she has seen so many things that she has never seen before.
Guan Yin's mood at this time was probably proud, but she never knew that the pride was to the extreme, and her chest would be as if she had been violently hit by a heavy hammer, and she suddenly gave birth to a complex emotion, which was both moving and sour.
Under the emotional ups and downs, the big tears could no longer be suppressed, and they fluttered out of their eyes.
Xiang Lang saw Guan Yu and Jiang Wei, one old and one young, two tall figures towering among the crowd, like a mountain boulder, immovable, and the straight teacher gave people a sense of inability to look up.
He is a scholar, and he has been bathed in the teachings of the saint of etiquette, righteousness and shame all his life, and when he saw such a scene in front of him, he remembered that he was still unwilling to bring the wounded soldiers with him......
In the midst of everyone's mountain shouting and tsunami sounds, Jiang Wei turned around and threw the torch on the pyre.
As the firewood was lit, the fire was blazing, and in a short time it was already blazing.
In fact, it was not only the firewood that was ignited, but also the hearts of the soldiers in this camp.
The wind was strong, but the soldiers didn't feel the cold, they only felt that they were full of blood, and it seemed that they were about to gush out.
