Chapter 472: Anxi Heroes Monument

The old site of the ancient city of Qiuci, countless people come and go back and forth in this eternal unchanged world for more than two months, a huge square gradually takes shape, and on the flat ground, one after another new building materials cement slabs are transported by people from a distance, and then one by one splicing and forming, the scale is grand, and the desert is incomparable. And next to it, piles of other building materials are constantly being brought in from outside the city to fill in. The northwest corner of the square is now Qiuzi City, and the new buildings that continue to rise and fall from the city wall were gradually built when the square was built, and they are all new high-rise buildings. A yellow flag with a bright yellow dragon pattern fluttering high on the upper floor of Qiuzi City, showing the strength and majesty of a new empire. At the end of August in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, the city of Qiuzi welcomed a group of special guests at the climax of intense construction, and on this day almost everyone was told to put aside all the work at hand for the time being, and stood in line in the newly completed square, staring at the wind and sand that had gradually lost the heat in the northwest in August. Not only the local people of Qiuzi City, but also other people, merchants, nobles, and officials from the east who had rushed from all over the world were waiting quietly at this time. Even those predators who have been fighting in this vast land since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty's Western Expedition are standing silently at this time, lined up in a neat line, everyone has changed into our new military uniforms, and is waiting with new weapons that make everyone tremble with fear. And at the forefront of this dark crowd are two middle-aged people standing quietly, one literate and one martial in a new military uniform and official uniform, leading everyone to wait.

Time passed minute by minute, although the whole square was full of people, no one dared to speak, no one moved, everyone was silent, facing the east proudly, almost everyone's faces were calm and solemn. And in this dead silence, there was a slight vibration sound gradually, mixed with the wind and sand, and a flowing line gradually appeared in the distant eastern sky, appearing from the horizon towards the turtle. At this moment, the two people standing head-on suddenly raised their heads to look at the lines from far and near, took a deep breath, and finally a smile appeared on their faces. These two people are Wan Yi, the supreme military and political leader of the northwest of the Tang Empire, the commander of the Western Expeditionary Army, and Tuoba Siji, the deputy prime minister of the empire. After the two saw the flow of people in the distance gradually becoming clear, they looked at each other, and they both saw the heartfelt joy and relaxation in each other's eyes at a glance. The northwest ushered in the ruler of the Central Dynasty for the first time after a hundred years or even after a thousand years, and now His Majesty the Tang Emperor personally came to the northwest and came to Qiuzi.

"Chen Wanyi and Tuoba Si Ji together with all the soldiers and civilians in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty welcome His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to Anxi, God bless the Tang Dynasty, and the Han army is mighty." When the same bright yellow dragon and yellow flag floated out of the ranks of the comers, Wan Yi and Tuoba Siji took the lead and knelt on the ground, the sound was earth-shattering, and in an instant, countless people and Tiance officers and soldiers on the square followed their commanders and officers and soldiers to kneel on their knees at this moment, and shouted loudly, "God bless the Tang Dynasty, the Han army is mighty" is like a thunderous sound from ancient times in the sky above the ancient city of Qiuci, sending out a dragon-like shout, so that this piece of heaven and earth are all shaking and shaking. Countless figures knelt on the ground as if they had collapsed the eternal sky, and countless voices seemed to come across time and space, making the procession of comers stop in front of everyone's eyes.

"God bless the Tang Dynasty, the Han army is mighty." The person at the head is none other than Li Xuanqing, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. At this time, Li Xuanqing flew up from the jade lion under his crotch with his skillful body, and his clear voice rolled in at this moment, echoing the shouts of the tens of thousands of people here, "All the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, the fathers and villagers of Anxi, Li Xuanqing has made you work hard. ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." A simple single sentence made everyone on the square burst into tears at this time, and tears rolled in the eyes of countless Predators, sure enough, the leader who led him to rise from the land of the four wars and swept the world came to see himself, the white-clothed figure that slowly fell from the air made all the soldiers who had fought for more than a year The tiredness of fighting in the border wilderness without regret disappeared at this moment, and the warriors got the response of their leaders in the battle, and the affirmation of the empire was affirmed by His Majesty the Emperor, For their group of guardians of the empire, there was nothing more praise than the affirmation of His Majesty the Emperor. A simple hard work made the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army present shout long live in unison, and even Wan Yi, who was standing at the forefront, had moist eyes, and fought in the northwest for more than a year, and there was almost no stop, and the group of soldiers he led really recovered the country, and did not regret the battle. Countless soldiers sacrificed heroically for the unification of the empire in this yellow sand desert. To this day, the soldiers on the front line of the Western Expeditionary Army are still fighting for Anxi and the empire without regrets, which is the sorrow of the soldiers, but it is also their supreme glory, countless Han family children have passed by here for thousands of years to go to the more distant western frontier to expand the territory, write the legend of the Central Dynasty, and leave the imprint of themselves and the empire forever in this land.

Li Xuanqing and Qiaoxi stepped forward to personally help Wan Yi and Tuoba Si Zhi after landing, held the hands of the two of them heavily, and then walked back quickly with a few people, helping up the kneeling soldiers and ordinary officials around them as they walked, and the gentle words made everyone's hearts swell with an indescribable emotion in an instant, and even more, many people were excited, those soldiers from all over the Central Plains saw their emperor and shook hands with the emperor, which made these soldiers shout long live again, Countless voices converged on the square to form a sea of long live. Accompanied Li Xuanqing to the center of the square, where a huge obelisk was erected, more than ten zhang high, the base was square, one side was more than three zhang long, standing on a pedestal erected with five layers of steps. The bottom of the obelisk is carved on four sides with four carved reliefs, one stroke at a time, the iron hook silver stroke, the brushwork is vigorous and powerful. Li Xuanqing and Qiaoxi walked to the obelisk, turned around and looked at the people around them, and their hearts were full of pride and inexplicable emotion.

"Dear fathers and fellow villagers of the Tang Empire, and the brave soldiers of the Tiance Army. I am Li Xuanqing, and today I will be here with you to witness that thousands of years ago, our heroic martyr Zhang Qian of the Han Dynasty set out from Chang'an to the northwest and brought back the news from all over the distant Anxi, so that the Central Plains could truly understand the northwest for the first time, understand the customs and desert sand here. Li Xuan's body jumped into the air and stood at the top of the obelisk, and the voice of the white-clothed Shengxue was like the thunder of the Nine Heavens God rolling in, "Since then, our Han army has embarked on the journey of passing through the northwest and guarding Anxi. The Han army went out of the fortress, shaking the world, there is the pride of the Marquis of Dingyuan to pacify the 36 countries, and there is also Chen Tang to show thousands of miles, those who commit my strong man, although they are far away, they will be punished, the predecessors of the martyrs, and the blood of heroes has been passed down from generation to generation. Since then, the people of the Northwest have been closely related to the Central Plains, sharing weal and woe, and have become one with each other. Later, in the Tang Dynasty, the Anxi army crisscrossed the northwest, sealed the territory for thousands of miles, and created an Anxi metropolitan protectorate that has never been seen throughout the ages, so that the entire northwest and the entire Anxi have since been included in the territory of my Tang Dynasty, Anxi is not only a symbol of the times, but also a reflection of the heroic style of my Han and Tang Dynasties. This has long been the territory of my Datang, and it is the tragedy of the Anxi Army's lone army sticking to the ancient city of the Desperate Region, and the city is full of white vows not to surrender, and it is also a witness of my Datang's indomitable soldiers guarding the border for the country and unswervingly. This vast desert is the eternal monument of our soldiers who marched westward, and it is also the immortal war spirit that you can inherit through the ages. Li Xuanqing's voice thundered in everyone's ears, and countless soldiers fell to their knees, echoing his commander's affirmation of the exploits made by countless Han troops over the past thousands of years, and also echoing the affirmation of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty for his generation to recover the northwest.

"My heroic soldiers, the people of the northwest heart to the Tang Dynasty, I Li Xuanqing today with the respect of the Tang Emperor to tell the heaven and earth Xuanhuang, the Tang Dynasty to recover the northwest is to inherit the destiny of heaven and the people, is the most grand event in the northwest after the Han Wu Tang Sect, the future generations of Huanghuang Qing history will be for the er, such as the tree monument, inheritance of eternity, this is the eternal glory of all people in our era, but also in it for the glorious reappearance of the empire, to recover the merit of Anxi for the eternal fame. I'm glad to be here with you today. Li Xuanqing slowly fell from the obelisk, and his voice was gushing, "Future generations will not have to repeat history because of your efforts, and you don't have to worry about the story of Qiuzi one day reappearing." Because of you, countless heroic souls of the Han army in history have gone forward one after another, and have brought our Han civilization to the four extremes and eight wildernesses from here, and passed on the torch from generation to generation. Today, I want to join you here to summon the return of the immortal war spirit of my Han family for thousands of years, and to summon the spiritual reappearance of the people of the Han Dynasty in the northwest who have gone forward to inherit the development of civilization, so that all future generations will always remember that our ancestors threw their heads and sacrificed their blood and sacrifices for the sake of Anxi, and left everything they had on this hot land, so that their spirit and will will will always be passed on to the future generations of the empire, and follow the footsteps of the ancestors to get out of the jam. In Li Xuanqing's passionate voice, the huge silk cloth that originally covered the obelisk was removed, and the main body of the obelisk was triangular pyramidal, and a line of vigorous and powerful characters on the stele facing the east made everyone's blood boil, "The spirit of Anxi is immortal." With the shouts of hundreds of people and soldiers, Li Xuanqing took the lead and knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully. The spirit of Anxi represents the will of the Han army and the Tang army to defend the territory through the northwest, and it is also the immortal inheritance that the Tiance army has been abiding by and inheriting since the beginning of the army. Now this obelisk to the east of the direction of these words let all the Tiance soldiers tears like rain, the long tears are for the ancestors of the kind of no regrets, sworn to defend the territory of the emotion and grievances, the Tang Dynasty was not able to support them, resulting in the symbol of the Tang Dynasty annihilated here, now with the arrival of Li Xuanqing and others, this immortal war spirit and the regret of the ancestors a hundred years ago will finally be washed away.

Li Xuanqing stood up and walked to the second side of the obelisk, facing the north side, and the shocking voice echoed in the square again: Those who offend my Tang Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away. If the immortal war soul of Anxi is the inheritance of the immortal war soul of the ancestors, then this sentence is the mood portrayal of all the soldiers and people in the square at this moment, and now the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty in the northwest to this step is the life and blood of countless soldiers in exchange, Datang came from the east, relying on the indomitable courage and achievements of the soldiers to include this lost homeland for a hundred years into the map, The lost territory and the current heyday of the Tang Dynasty and the military strength of the Tang Dynasty have made this sentence accompanied by Li Xuanqing's voice to get the maximum response in the ears of the world, countless soldiers and civilians cheered in unison, and the prosperity of the country created by the iron-blooded soldiers made the dignity of the Tang Dynasty re-erected in the northwest, and all those who stood on the opposite side of the empire would be swept into the dust of history by this torrent. This is the roar of Chen Tang in history for those aliens who dared to fight against the Han Dynasty, but now the Tang Empire, which has indeed been reborn from the ashes, has issued the strongest declaration in the northwest, the rebirth and dignity of the empire need to be baptized and poured with iron and blood, this is an eternal monument, which will always be erected in the hearts of all people in the Tang Dynasty, along with the peak of the imperial army and the brilliant achievements of the Tiance Army again and again will inevitably shock everyone forever, and the dignity of the empire has always needed one life and death battle after another to win from the battlefield.

"The fire of inheritance is endless." This time, the handwriting on the last tablet was written on the body, and everyone shouted along with Li Xuanqing. This time, compared with the previous iron-blooded national soul and war spirit, the oath of civilization inheritance was engraved on the obelisk and was recognized by all the people, and the central dynasty of the Tang Dynasty that returned in a hundred years still brought the latest civilization fire to the people of the Northwest Plateau as it has done for thousands of years, bringing hope and prosperity to life. Sure enough, after the rebirth of iron and blood, this empire still showed its broad mind and advanced civilization as always, and began to accept other tribes from all over the world, giving them the opportunity to live and develop together, and driving the common development of the northwest and the Central Plains.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." This time all the people began to kneel down and shout long live, and the Emperor himself declared that the central dynasty had begun to accept them as members of the empire and become part of the supreme empire. This caused everyone who had been slaughtered and intimidated by iron and blood to start cheering again, looking at the white figure under the obelisk and chanting.

Wan Yi waved his right hand, more than 100 cannons that had been on standby outside the square began to roar, and the cannon fire that rose in the air made this memorial ceremony completely enter the climax, and the monument named Anxi Heroes was erected in the northwest forever since then, erected in Qiuci to become the center of the entire northwest Anxi, and then thousands of years regardless of the passage of time, the ebb and flow of the tide, this monument in Qiuzi has attracted people from all over the empire to come to pay respects. At this time, Li Xuanqing took Qiaoxi in the crowd to once again feel the moment when the imperial spirit took off since his rebirth.
