Everyone fell silent, looking at the young man in front of them who was younger than all of them, but carrying a mountain of pressure.

Should they hate him? Perhaps he suffered more than anyone present.

On the battlefield, even if the arrows rained down, he never retreated, and always stood on the tower with the soldiers, facing the invasion of thousands of troops and horses.

When night fell, he kept vigil like an ordinary soldier, personally visited the wounded, and even went into battle to bandage the wounds of his brothers.

Beside the roaring fire, he told some meat jokes with a lewd face, just to relieve the nervous and suppressed emotions of the soldiers.

How can people hate such a person?

After being silent for a long time, Chen Buping took a step forward, stared at Tang An and said, "My lord, I have a few words in my heart that I want to say." ”

Without waiting for Tang An to answer, he hugged his fists at everyone and said, "Lord Fang Cai said that he was sorry for us, some people may think that he betrayed our brother to the imperial court and let us die in vain." If you think so, listen to my story. ”

After a slight pause, Chen Buping said in a deep voice with a Chinese face of remembrance: "Everyone should know that our army has beaten a beard, do you think it is easy to beat a beard?" Not at all. If it weren't for Lord Tang, I think we would have become a pile of dry bones a long time ago. To be exact, our lives were snatched back from Lord Yama. “

"Many of the brothers were transferred from the Yulin Guard and the Praetorian Guard, and they don't know exactly what kind of experience we had, and they are not very familiar with what kind of person Lord Tang is. In fact, the people who first met Lord Tang ...... It's me. ”

As if remembering the scene of meeting for the first time on the yellow earth, Chen Buping had a nostalgic smile on his face: "At that time, Gucheng was broken, and only a pitiful 3,000 of our 50,000 brothers remained, and they fled around like lost dogs. I mistook Lord Tang for an enemy spy, but he told me that he was the reception envoy of the Great Snow Mountain Fairy of the Tang Dynasty. Hehe, do you believe it? In the place where the bird doesn't, a little white face suddenly popped out and said that he was the reception envoy of Fairy Mu, and he didn't like it, Lao Tzu also said that he was Master Mu's apprentice! ”

No one was laughing, everyone was listening.

Chen Buping laughed at himself: "It's ridiculous that my old Chen has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, the real fairy is in front of him and doesn't know it, and he only realizes it after being beaten." The woman in the world who can subdue me and the big strong woman with one move, I'm afraid there is no second one except the fairy, so I believe it. I brought Master Tang to our veteran general. Facts have proved that this may be the most correct decision in my life. ”

At that time, the old general was seriously wounded, but in order to calm the morale of the army, he did not reveal half a point to anyone. Soon after, his old man's soul returned to the Western Regions, and he stayed forever in the yellow earth that he had guarded all his life......"

Thinking of the old man who loves soldiers like a son, the men of the Avengers all secretly wept. Even the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard and Yulin Guard were embarrassed, and sighed for a generation of loyal and good people to bury their bones in their homeland.

Chen Buping's eyes were slightly red, and he changed his words and said, "Lord Tang took over this mess from the old general at that time. Hu Zi wanted to capture the old general alive and make the defense line of the Western Regions self-defeating, so Lord Tang hid this news and took the beards to circle around the yellow earth to buy time for our colleagues in the Western Regions to deploy defenses. The 3,000 remnants of the army were defeated, surrounded by tens of thousands of beards on the big yellow earth, like a group of lost dogs. In good conscience, no one thought they could survive the impermeable encirclement of their beards at that time, and the only thing they were curious about was ...... When will death come. Alas, those who have not experienced it will never understand that there are people in the family who are expecting us to return with glory, but they have to count the days and wait for death...... It tastes really bad. ”

"But—"

Chen Buping sighed incomparably desolately, and suddenly the words changed, a flush swelled up on his face, and he pointed at Tang An and said, "It is he who led us to create a miracle!" Who would have thought that with just 3,000 men, he could play with an enemy several times his size? Who would have believed that a group of people who had no food and no clothes could kill more than 10,000 beards with almost zero losses? If it weren't for my own experience, I would have spit on him and send him two words: bragging! But brothers, we really did it! ”

"Again and again, we have cut down the enemy from our horses, and gradually regained the courage of the king's army from a remnant army that ran away for its life! We passed all the way, broke through the dangerous yellow earth, broke through the frightening swamp, fought all the way to the enemy's lair, turned the city of Dima upside down, made the Huns and Tiele people suffer a dumb loss each, and regenerated the internal distrust of the already unstable Xia Kingdom. Eventually, we came back alive, back to the hometown we had been dreaming of! All of this is thanks to our Lord Tang! ”

The soldiers were shocked, and when the men, who had never known about these things, looked at Tang An again, there was no longer a trace of resentment in their eyes. They finally knew why the people of the Avengers were so desperate for Tang An, and the relationship between life and death was stronger than any emotion!

"These are things that every one of us remembers." Chen Buping said calmly in his voice, and the face of Guozi was already full of tears.

"Have you ever thought that under the circumstances at that time, he and Fairy Mu could calmly return to Datang and leave us to fend for ourselves. But in order to fulfill a promise to the old general, he gave up his life and didn't want to accompany us who deserved to die to go to the soup and fire! ”

"Even if you miss the fierce battles in the Western Regions, it doesn't matter, look at what we're looking at again: when we defend the city together, who has seen your lord go down the tower? Who has ever seen him take a step back? No matter how critical the war is, does he always smile and greet people, telling us that killing the group of grandsons on the other side is just a trivial matter of blowing gas? ”

Everyone looked down and thought about it, and it was indeed so. If it weren't for the fact that he always looked relaxed and seemed to be under control, I am afraid that under the continuous onslaught of the rebels, the soldiers would have collapsed long ago.

And what about him?

Looking at Tang An's painful appearance of stubbornly standing in place and crying silently, the soldiers knew that he was not without troubles, on the contrary, he had to bear more pressure and suffering than everyone else, but he always brought happiness to others and kept sorrow to himself. And what about yourself? In addition to complaining that there are fewer and fewer people and the food is getting worse and worse, what has he done for him?

The soldiers bowed their heads, full of remorse.

Chen Bu stabilized his emotions and wiped his tears with the back of his hand: "On the battlefield, many brothers asked us: Why do we seem to be completely afraid of death? I tell you, those who have truly experienced life and death will never be afraid to sleep in the ground! ”

"When we were at our most depressed, Mr. Tang talked and laughed all day long, making us understand the truth of smiling even in the face of difficulties. What's the point of dying? But a scar the size of a bowl, eighteen years later, he is a good man! As a general, he is not afraid of death, so what reason do we have to retreat? ”

Chen Buping said impassionedly, clasped his fists with his hands to Tang An, and said sincerely: "I, Chen Buping, have never served a few people in my life, but I must say a word to Lord Tang!" ”

Ji Chen wiped his tears and shouted loudly: "I will take it too!" ”

Li Dazhuang choked up and shouted in a thick voice like a cow: "And me!" ”

"I... Woo woo woo ... I'm also convinced! Marchand said with tears in his eyes.

Listening to the Avengers' echoes one after another, Chen Buping smiled with relief and said, "Today, Lord Tang told us that we were treated as outcasts by the imperial court. But look at you! Lord Tang, he's always been with us! In other words, he knows that our value is to die, but he is willing to die with us! He did this completely for the sake of Datang, for thousands of families, and for all our people! ”

Chen Buping paused and continued: "Those soldiers who died, including young husbands, fathers with children, and robes that we were born and died in the Western Regions! Watching his brothers die one after another, don't you think he is sad? He's sadder than anyone else! With his character, he cherishes everyone's life, and he wants us all to live! Do you think it's easy for him to keep such a painful secret? I tell you, he's a lot worse than anyone else! ”

The deafening roar echoed all around, and everyone's expressions were painful, as if they were deeply moved by what Tang An had done, and even more secretly wiping their tears, wishing they could not share even a little bit of pressure for Tang An.

"Chen Buping! Stop it! Tang An's tears rained down, clenched his fists and stubbornly straightened up, and the whole person cried into a tearful person.

"Sister, why are they all crying?"

Mu Junli's big black eyes blinked curiously, and she kept shaking Mu Rong's arm. Looking up without any response, the little hand couldn't help but cover his mouth: "Hey, sister, why are you crying?" ”

On Mu Rong's fair face, two lines of tears flowed down.

She finally knew what it was like to shed tears, and that tall figure in the crowd would become a shadow that she would never forget.

She clutched her chest tightly and whispered, "Because my sister is here...... It hurts! ”

Not only Mu Rong, but all the soldiers looked at Tang An's eyes, without the slightest hatred, but revealed reverence from the bottom of their hearts.

He was so young, yet so imposing. What is the force that makes him drag such a heavy burden? What is the power that makes him always give others a sunny smile when his heart is like a knife?

In order to let more people live, this wicked man, he will do it!

To be able to take this step, it takes not only courage, but also the courage to be willing to go to hell.

"As a Tang Dynasty man, no one loves this land and the people here more than you. As a soldier, it's worth it for me to meet a general like you in my lifetime! ”

Chen Buping knelt on the ground with a "poof", and clenched his fist at Tang An: "I don't know about others, but my life was saved by you, Lord Tang." is still the same sentence, if the general has an order, Chen Buping will not dare to disobey! ”

After listening to Chen Buping's words, everyone rubbed the corners of their eyes, as if there was sand in their eyes.

There are some words that you can't just listen to, but feel with your heart. Everything Tang An did, as long as he was not blind, could understand it. To be able to fight side by side with such a person, and to breathe the fragrance of the air around them, what else would they not be satisfied with?

"Poof!"

The people of the Avengers all knelt down, and their admiration for Tang An was even deeper, and said: "The general has an order, I don't dare to disobey!" ”

As for the forbidden army, what more needs to be said? Eight words are enough!

"The general has an order, don't dare to disobey!"

Mu Jingfeng slowly walked up to Tang An, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and couldn't hide his appreciation and emotion in his eyes: "Rong'er didn't see the wrong person, Tang An, it's good!" ”

can win the praise of the world's number one master, and all the brothers are willing to die, so far in life, what more can the husband ask for?

Tang An sniffed vigorously and said loudly: "It's too hypocritical to talk about anything else." We have done too much for Datang, and until now, none of you owe Datang anything, only the court owes you. Now, the Nantong Gate has been opened, whoever wants to leave, I Tang An will never blame him! ”

Everyone had a resolute face, but none of them had any intention of fleeing for their lives.

As a soldier, to be able to meet such a general, to have a robe that can be entrusted to the back, to be able to fight bloody battles against the horse leather shroud, what reason do they have to retreat?

"We will follow the general, and we will not retreat!"

Tang An nodded excitedly, clenched his fists and said, "Okay, good!" I'm very relieved that there is no one in our Datang Forbidden Army! Every one of you is good! ”

"Then there may be people who will die, and when peace comes, maybe no one will remember what you have done for this country. But I think that in a hundred years, our children and grandchildren will be able to not be enslaved by foreigners, they will be able to eat, clothe, and go to school, and we should be able to smile underground. “

As he spoke, Tang An turned around, pointed to the wall that had been built with blood and life, and said loudly: "It's too early to say this, because the war is not over yet. Many brothers have fallen asleep for this wall, but I want to say that the blood of 5,000 brothers was not shed in vain! They have been sacrificed several times as many times as many times by the enemy! They are the heroes of Datang! As for us - keep our useful bodies, waiting for the moment when the peak turns around, to avenge the dead brothers! ”

Tang An's eyes burned, he glanced at everyone for a week, and said slowly: "And now, we still need to do one last thing......"

*********************************

On the corner of the street, several people in silver armor gathered together and watched this extremely emotional scene from afar. On their shoulder armor, a lifelike green dragon is tattooed.

The person in front looks like he is in his thirties, standing as tall as a mountain, who is not the generation of the family?

A person next to him was puzzled: "General, what are these guys doing kneeling if they don't defend the city?" ”

"They are expressing their inner feelings to a person." Dai Tianya looked at Tang An's impassioned face from afar, and muttered: "A person that even I admire a little......"

(I wonder if this chapter has hit everyone's tears?) I've revised it N times over and over again, and I'm still quite satisfied. Thank you Xiao Yan, Xuexue, Lan Zi and other students for their tips and monthly passes! 4000 words super long chapter, this one is even cooler, right? ）
