In the next few days, Zhao Ziliang was busy dealing with the remains of his fallen soldiers and the corresponding pensions, and asked Lang Zhong to arrange for the wounded soldiers to be treated in a unified manner.

The spoils of war that the soldiers killed the enemy and captured from the enemy belonged to themselves, and the captured cattle, sheep and horses, as well as the proceeds from the raid of the homes of the enemy generals or ministers had to be handed over, so every soldier who was still alive had some valuable booty on him, which is one of the reasons why the soldiers liked to follow a general who could fight and often won battles.

In fact, everyone knows very well that the loot that kills the enemy on the battlefield and captures from the enemy's corpse is really limited, and the value is also limited, and the real value of the loot and the most quantity is the one who defeated the enemy and seized it from the enemy's lair, so after this battle, the most captured is not others, but the leading general who first entered the city of Broken Leaves and attacked the palace of the fire spitting fairy, because the wealth in the fire spitting fairy palace is the most. On the contrary, Gai Jiayun, the marshal, did not have any captures, of course, the generals below would also offer him some rare treasures and treasures with interest.

For example, Fu Meng Lingcha and other guards captured very few, much inferior to Zhao Ziliang and Gao Xianzhi, this is because he did not rush to the front line, Zhao Ziliang and Gao Xianzhi of course can't eat alone, and they don't dare not send some filial piety to Fu Meng Lingcha, for example, Zhao Ziliang sent three thousand cattle, sheep and horses and two carts of gold, silver and jewelry to Fu Meng Lingcha, as for Gao Xianzhi, although his capture in Hengros City is not as much as Zhao Ziliang's capture in several consecutive battles, but it is not much worse, he himself is not Han, also knew that he was not treated by many Han people, so he gave more filial piety to his husband Meng Lingcha.

The distribution of rewards, bereavement and the disposal of the bodies of the wounded and fallen are all trivial matters, although tedious, but with the best of heart. Also very easy to deal with. The most painful thing for Zhao Zi's conscience was that he also lost a lot of troops in this battle, he brought more than 1,300 soldiers and horses from the city plus his own Hu Cong and other generals, and by the end of the Battle of Tu Caishi, there were only about 900 people left, and the most losses were not the infantry, but the cavalry, especially the Hu Cong under him and the Hu Cong of other generals, such as Wei Meng, Li Siye and others, were almost completely lost. And the losses of the infantry were all caused when the fire spit fairy personally led the team to charge into battle, and the loss of the Mo Dao team was not much, and the bulk of the infantry losses were the spear and shield infantry and the sword and shield infantry. Although the infantry withstood the charge of the fire-spitting fairy, their own losses were not small, for these generals such as Gai Jiayun and Fumeng Lingcha, the loss of so many troops was nothing, and it was enough to replenish it, but for Zhao Ziliang, it was very uncomfortable in his heart, after all, human life is not a pig or a dog, although there is no difference between the two compared to other species. But Zhao Ziliang is a human being after all, not another species, and he is still unacceptable to be deeply influenced by the idea of the supremacy of life in later generations.

In the past few days, Zhao Ziliang saw that Gai Jiayun, Tian Renwan, Fu Meng Lingcha and other bigwigs had no reaction to such a large casualty at all. They didn't even go to see the wounded, they didn't attend the funerals of the fallen soldiers, and the generals had no condolences after they died, except for his men. Dig a big pit and throw the corpse directly into it to fill in the soil, even Gao Xianzhi is no exception.

"General. It's all ready, the soldiers are waiting for the general outside! Chu Ge walked into the big tent and said to Zhao Ziliang.

Hearing this, Zhao Ziliang got up, picked up the helmet on the horse next to him and put it on his head, carefully checked his clothes to make himself look more energetic, and then strode out of the tent.

Coming to the open space in the camp, the bodies of the fallen soldiers are neatly placed on the firewood and grass waiting for cremation, and a sign is erected in front of each body, the sign says the name of the person, waiting for the cremation to be completed, the soldier responsible for collecting the ashes will put the ashes into the altar, and then write the person's name on the altar, and then send someone to return to his hometown together with the pension.

Around the cremation site, rows of soldiers stood neatly on all sides, all armed and led by officers, and a small group of trumpeters to the south, ready to play mourning music.

With Zhao Ziliang arriving, everyone's eyes were on him, and he walked to the position closest to the body and stood still, and asked, "Are you all here?" ”

Chu Ge said softly: "It's all here, and the wounded soldiers are also here!" ”

"What about the death roll?"

Chu Ge hurriedly took out a roster from his arms and handed it over, Zhao Ziliang took it and opened it and looked at it, the roster recorded the names, dates of birth, ages, and specific places of origin of all the fallen soldiers in the garrison of the city in this war.

Zhao Ziliang looked through it and handed it to Shi Cui Jianlin, the governor of the garrison: "According to this death list, the family of each fallen soldier will be given a pension of 30 yuan, how others deal with this kind of thing, this general can't control it, and he can't control it, but here in this general, no one can die like a lamp going out." The pension is paid to those closest to the fallen soldier. If there is a wife and children, but the children have not yet reached the age of majority, the pension shall be paid to the children, and the wife shall keep it on behalf of the children as maintenance for the children; If the children have reached adulthood, the pension shall be paid to the wife and shall be received by the wife. In the case of a widow but a daughter, the pension is paid to the children, and in the case of a married daughter, the pension goes to the son, and if there is no son, the pension goes to the daughter. If a fallen soldier has no wives and children, the pension is paid to his parents. In the case of deceased parents, the pension is paid to the siblings. If a fallen soldier has no parents, brothers and sisters, and only orphans are left, if he has reached adulthood, he can be given priority to joining our army, and if he is a minor, he can bring them if he wishes, and we will open a school so that the orphans of those martyrs can have education, clothing, and food. They have guarded the territory and people of Datang with their blood and lives, and Datang should support their descendants to grow up! ”

The head of the guarded mansion, Shi Cui Jianlin's heart was surging, and he said loudly: "No! ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at all the soldiers around him and said: "No one is immune to death, whether you are a prince and a general or a pawn of a peddler, the difference is how to die, the vast majority of people in this world are sick and die of old age on the hospital bed, only a small number of people die standing up, and those who die standing are true husbands!" And only they died in the battle to defend the Tang Dynasty and the people, and open up the territory for the Tang Dynasty, this is the supreme glory, money can buy wealth, but not glory! Death is lighter than Hongmao, and there is also heavier than Mount Tai, the death of those who die on the hospital bed is lighter than Hongmao, and the death of those who die for the Tang Dynasty and sacrifice their lives for the progress of our Chinese civilization is heavier than Mount Tai, and the death of these colleagues lying here in front of you is heavier than Mount Tai!

Soldiers, maybe one day in the future, we will all die on the battlefield, maybe no one will remember our names, no one will remember that we once fought bloodily for Datang and her people and sacrificed our lives, but we know that everything we do is for our parents, wives and children in our hometown to enjoy peace, even if we die in battle, our death is worth it. Many people look down on those of us who are in the army, thinking that this is a cheap job, and the comrades who are lying here, people think they are fools, and they carry their heads to sell their lives for a few broken military salaries, and now they have lost their lives, what are they not fools? Are they really stupid? No, they are not fools, we know, they are heroes, real heroes! They are born as heroes, and they are ghosts when they die! Now, let's send these comrades on their last journey."

There was silence all around, no one moved, no one talked, coughed and whezed, and the west wind blew dozens of flags overhead, but at this time everyone's eyes became firm, and everyone stood straight.

Wang Can shouted: "All take off your hats!" ”

Everyone neatly took off their helmets and clamped them under their armpits according to the instructions, and heard Wang Can shout loudly: "Salute-"

"Boom・・・・・・" Everyone clenched their right hands into fists in front of their chests.

"Ignition--Music-"

Several rows of soldiers ran out neatly with torches, stopping in front of each body to light the firewood and grass under the body, and the musicians blew bursts of mournful music.

One of them sang in a deep voice, "How can you say that you have no clothes, and are with your son・・・・・"

Everyone sang along, "How can you say that you have no clothes, and you are ・・・・・・ with your son?"

At this time, at the gate of the camp, Gai Jiayun, Fumeng Lingcha, Gao Xianzhi and others rode horses and stood at the gate of the camp silently watching the funeral ceremony on the camp, they had obviously been watching it for a long time.

Fumeng Lingchace immediately stepped forward and said to Gai Jiayun: "Dashuai, the funeral ceremony is almost over, let's go over?" ”

Gai Jiayun wiped a handful of tears when he heard this, and shook his head: "It's a 'life as a hero, death is also a ghost male', forget it, let Ziliang finish the funeral quietly." Fumeng, Ziliang is handsome, he is still a little younger now, you have to take him more. The thing you said a few days ago, Ben Shuai has already thought about it, in the afternoon, you take Ziliang and Xianzhi to Ben Shuai's big tent, let's discuss! ”

Fu Meng Lingcha hurriedly said: "No! ”

Seeing that Gai Jiayun attaches so much importance to Zhao Ziliang, Gao Xianzhi is even a little jealous, it seems that talented people have to be liked by officials.

On the way back, after a long time of weighing, a Hu Cong finally made up his mind, and immediately stepped forward and said to Fu Meng Lingcha: "General, the villain has a reluctant request, the villain wants to follow General Zhao Ziliang and be his servant, and please fulfill the general!" ”

Fu Meng Lingcha couldn't help but be very surprised when he heard this, and was very angry, he turned his head to look at this brave servant, only to see that this servant was in his thirties, ugly, and short, and he asked with an unkind face: "Oh? What is your name? ”

Na Hu Cong hurriedly said: "The villain's name is Feng Changqing!" (To be continued.) )
