Chapter 167: It's easy to go all the way

Li Shen exhaled softly, and continued: "You must know that the Tang Dynasty is not the Tang of the Li family alone, but the Tang Dynasty of all of you, and only when the Tang Dynasty is strong can you continue to enjoy the glory and wealth of today, including your current status." These rights of yours are not given by your father, nor by your father, nor by your father, nor by you, but by the people, and I hope that you can be worthy of everything you enjoy. In the past, Lone came with you, and Lone never said anything. Young and frivolous, everyone has an ignorant age, but you can't blindly go on with frivolity, and you still have to bear some responsibilities. ”

Nowadays, people's sense of national honor and disgrace is still very low, and some people do not exist at all, and they do not know what the national sense of honor and disgrace is, and they are more full of anger at the inhumane treatment of their compatriots.

Propaganda and education is the most critical thing, propaganda and education did not exist at all in ancient times, more is to be able to pass the examination, enter the court as an official, glorify the ancestors, enjoy the worship and fear of the people, and there is to obtain more benefits, can seek welfare for the people, how many people can there be today?

Even a person like Fang Xuanling may not be able to really do things for the people.

Looking at the people with ashamed faces, Li Shen stretched out his hand and waved, and said, "Let's disperse, go to Hezhou City early tomorrow morning, and after dealing with these things, it's time to return to Beijing." ”

"Brother, didn't you say that you killed them?" Li Chongyi asked in a low voice.

"We don't have to deal with these things." Li Shen replied.

Li Chongyi let out an "oh".

Li Shen looked at Li Chongyi, Li Jingheng and the eldest grandson Chong did not leave, and said, "Don't leave yet?" Waiting for dinner? ”

"Hehe, brother, it's been ten days, we eat dry food all day long, you can make some delicious food for us, anyway, it's just the four of us brothers." Li Chongyi said with a somewhat embarrassed smile.

"Dogs can't change the habit of ****." Li Shen said angrily.

"Brother, how can you say that, it's just to eat something, and besides, you don't make it yourself, but you just get more." Li Chongyi said, followed the fight, and said, "Brother, Xiao Heng and I will go and find some ingredients." Let the worm talk to you. ”

Eldest Sun Chong watched the two leave, smiled awkwardly at Li Shen, and said, "Big brother, are the injuries on your body okay?" ”

"It's just a few minor injuries."

looked at Changsun Chong with a smile and said, "I really didn't expect you to be so brave on the battlefield." ”

"Not as brave as a big brother."

"There's no need for this, Lone hasn't thanked you for saving your life."

"These are all as they should be, I can't watch my eldest brother get into danger, right?"

“…………”

“……”

Early the next morning, Li Shen led an army of 20,000 to set out to Hezhou City to bury the dead people in Hezhou City.

During the march, everyone's expressions were very serious, and the atmosphere of sadness filled the entire army, knowing what kind of situation they were facing, but everyone didn't want to face such a situation, Datang had been calm for so many years, and it was the first time that the people were slaughtered like this.

Li Shen's heart is also very uncomfortable, but these are things that there is no way to do, and he still has to face them when he should face them.

Along the way, there were corpses everywhere, and the soldiers began to slowly collect them with military tents, and they couldn't do a pit for each person, basically about 100 people, digging a big pit in the nearby mountains and forests to bury them.

Originally, it only took a day's journey and five days of walking to reach the city of Hezhou, and the smoke of gunpowder had already dispersed, but the smell of blood still filled the entire city of Hezhou.

Stepping into the city, the ground was covered with blood, corpses were everywhere, the struggle at the time of death, the desperate and frightened eyes, made Li Shen's heart even heavier, the entire Hezhou City turned into a ball of ashes, although he had not been to Hezhou City, but looking at the city that turned into ashes, the corpses everywhere, he could also know how prosperous this Hezhou was when it was not destroyed.

Li Shen sighed, looked at the corpses all over the ground, and tears slowly flowed down from the corners of his eyes, and said to Li Chongyi beside him: "Arrange for five hundred people to dig graves two miles outside the city." ”

Li Chongyi nodded, choked up, "Brother, how old is it?" ”

"As many people as there are people in Hezhou, dig as many graves as they want."

It lasted for two days, and there were corpses of men, women, and children outside the whole city of Hezhou, and the younger women were basically killed after being ruined, and even four or five little girls did not escape the poisonous hands of these beasts, and the corpses in many houses were burned, leaving only bones, and all kinds of deaths could be found here.

"Your Highness, the corpses have almost been collected, is it time to bury?" Qin Huaiyu whispered with red eyes.

"Buried." Li Shen said in a low voice.

"Buried, fathers and elders of Hezhou City, everyone go all the way, your blood and hatred, we swear, even if they flee to the ends of the earth, they will be arrested, and the blood of all their clansmen will be used to sacrifice your souls in the sky." Cheng Chumo shouted loudly.

"Fathers and villagers of Hezhou City, we swear ......"

"Vow to avenge this, if you break your oath......"

All kinds of promises were sworn loudly in front of the people of Hezhou who died everywhere.

The corpses were placed in large graves, and there were so many coffins for them to be buried, and the lower layer was spread out, and the soldiers covered them with dismantled tents, and continued to start a new round of stacking.

Li Shen spat deeply and said, "Just throw it in." ”

"Brother." Li Chongyi shouted.

"There's no way, there's no place to put your feet down." Li Shen said.

Li Chongyi nodded and trotted towards Qin Huaiyu in the distance.

One body after another was thrown down, and everyone's face was covered with tears.

"Your Highness, there is no more." Qin Huaiyu walked over with a shovel and said with a heavy expression.

Li Shen nodded slightly, took the shovel in his hand, walked to the edge of the big pit, looked at the corpses inside, spit deeply, shoveled a shovel of soil and scattered it on it, and shouted: "Fathers and villagers of Hezhou City, go all the way." ”

"Buried." Qin Huaiyu roared loudly.

The soldiers around took shovels and began to quickly add soil to the pit, the speed was very fast, and they couldn't bear to continue to look at the miserable situation of all the people in the pit, and buried them early, and their eyes were not visible, which was also a little more comforting to them.
