The morning light is faint.

The bright sky illuminated the vast yellow earth, and between the undulating cliffs and dirt slopes, three thousand armor soldiers knelt neatly on the ground, bowing respectfully to a small earthen bag.

It was Zhan Lingyun's nameless grave.

Tang An ranked before the three thousand soldiers, his face was solemn, his forehead slowly kissed the land, and he kowtowed to this god of war who had fought for the country all his life.

Some people are dead when they live, and there are people who die but live forever in people's hearts.

For example, Zhan Lingyun.

He didn't have any grandiose words, but he dedicated his life to the border pass. When the people of the Tang Dynasty were enjoying peace, they didn't know that there was actually such a group of people who built a barrier for them with blood and sweat in the barren area.

He has experienced countless wars in his life, and the scars crisscrossing his body are the best description of his life wandering between life and death.

He loves soldiers like a son, and every soldier who has been promoted from his command before parting, all have tears in their eyes and buckle their heads. But he is very strict with his children, always sending them to the most dangerous front line, putting them at the forefront of life and death.

He had four sons and six grandsons, but now he had only one son and one grandson, and the rest died in battle.

One family and three generals, all generations are loyal and good.

Now, the golden knife warrior with infinite scenery, there is another person who stays here forever, this piece of yellow land that he has guarded all his life.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Tang An kowtowed three times, not bothering to wipe the dirt on his forehead, but staring at the quiet dirt bag with red eyes.

Speaking of which, he and Zhan Lingyun had only known each other for a few days, but the old man's unyielding fortitude, his attitude of never bowing his head in a desperate situation, and his spirit of flying and bleating while talking and laughing, all impressed him.

"General, go all the way. You've worked hard all your life, you've fought all your life, and now... It's time to rest. ”

"General—ahh

Listening to Tang An's deep words, the soldiers behind him could no longer bear it, and with the hoarse cry of the first person, several howls and cries were connected together, echoing in this empty land, playing the most poignant and tragic movement.

These iron-blooded men who didn't frown in the face of Jin Ge's Iron Horse turned into tears since they saw Tang An holding Zhan Lingyun's corpse last night, just like children. It was as if it was not their boss who died, but their most beloved father.

The people died, the robes died, and to this day, the god of war they respected the most is also dead.

In the distant Western Regions, forgotten by the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, these people are the whole of their lives. When one's heart is cut one after another, who is not in pain and almost suffocated?

Mu Rong on the side turned his head, as if he couldn't bear to see such a miserable picture. Even Su Meier, who had been silent for several days, was infected by the scene in front of her and secretly wiped the corners of her tearful eyes.

Even if it was her own enemy who died, she could not deny that she was a respectable opponent.

Tang An had no tears, Zhan Lingyun's entrustment was still in his ears, now was not the time for him to cry.

He carried a mountain on his back, but he couldn't share the pressure with anyone. This pressure comes from the old man's last wish, and also from gratitude to these heroes who sacrificed their lives and forgot their deaths.

He can't let them die, live, and return to Datang!

Standing up slowly, Tang An said loudly: "Put away your tears, cry and cry like a girl, is this what the old general wants to see?" ”

The soldiers sobbed on their shoulders, but when they heard this, they no longer cried out for grief without scruples.

"How can you understand our relationship with the general?"

I don't know who shouted, which suddenly made Tang An the focus of everyone.

Tang An was not annoyed, but looked at everyone: "You are right, for you, I am indeed an outsider. Maybe I can't understand this kind of emotion between soldiers, but I know one thing: the veteran general entrusted you to me and asked me to take you back to the Central Plains, and I will take this responsibility! ”

As soon as he heard this, the army was in an uproar.

Although Tang An's official rank is not low, he came from Bianjing and won the emperor's favor. But this little white face has never fought a day of war, he knows what war is? What is the difference between entrusting his life to him and pinning his head to his waist?

"You can take us back to the Central Plains?"

"Brother Tang, you are admired by Lao Tzu, but when it comes to marching and fighting, you are always a layman!"

"Yes, when Lao Tzu went into battle to kill the enemy, you were still sleeping with your in your arms in the bed!"

"Run, run, run, when are we going to escape? There are tigers in front and wolves in the back, where can we escape? ”

"According to Lao Tzu, we might as well fight with those miscellaneous people and avenge the old general!"

"Yes, revenge for the general!"

As Zhan Lingyun expected, once these hate-blinded people found a common goal, they would be desperate to do anything, even if it would break them to pieces. However, in the face of tens of thousands of troops, 3,000 soldiers could not afford to turn up a single storm except for sacrificing their lives in vain.

Seeing that a group of people stood up and were about to go to find Hu Zi desperately, Tang Anxin secretly admired Zhan Lingyun's unpredictable prophet, and lowered his face and shouted: "Shut up the fuck Lao Tzu!" ”

The shouts of this life were earth-shattering, and everyone was stunned.

Tang An walked quickly to the middle of the crowd and scolded loudly: "Okay, it's good!" What a bunch of righteous bastards! The old general finally took you to escape here, preserving the last bloodline of the elite of the Western Regions, you are good, you can't wait to give those beards military merits when you encounter a little setback! If my Datang will be as unorganized and undisciplined as you, using ass instead of brains to think about problems, let's still fart! Wipe your neck on the spot! ”

Tang An's words were unceremoniously, and the soldiers were unconvinced one by one. One of them said angrily: "What the hell do you know? Sooner or later, it's a death, it's better to change a few mustaches! ”

Tang An laughed angrily and said: "Death, death, as far as the fuck knows, without the will to survive, the king of heaven and Lao Tzu can't save you!" As soon as you close your eyes, don't you want to think about what to do with your old fathers and mothers who are far away? What should I do with my child who is waiting to be fed? What about millions of people! Look at your current appearance, do you still have a little bit of my Tang Dynasty Iron and Blood Division? It's like a pack of dirt dogs, phew! ”

After Tang An said this, most of the soldiers' anger disappeared. Think about your relatives, you can't be filial piety by your side all the year round, if you hastily understand your life, let the white-haired person send the black-haired person, wouldn't it be a big unfilial piety?

Seeing that everyone was moved, Tang An continued: "Take 10,000 steps back, do you think that anyone who is impulsive and passionate can avenge the old general? One word - stupid! Do you think your beards are all papier-mâché? Why did the old general take you to run around in humiliation? Because he knew very well what the purpose of the beard was - they wanted to capture the old general alive and deal a fatal blow to our soldiers in the west! Let us lose all our morale, break through the barrier of the Western Regions in one fell swoop, and then crush the entire Tang River and Mountain! If you really think about the old general, what you should do now is to continue to go around in circles with your beard, delay their attack on the Central Plains, buy time for our brothers, and crush the ambitions of the beard! But what about you? I'm afraid that the enemy won't know that the general has returned to heaven! If it is because of your momentary brain fever that causes the Western Regions to fall like a mountain, then you are the sinners of my Tang Dynasty through the ages! ”

A simple remark, but it is deafening. With the heads of these soldiers, they can't think of such a complex strategic problem even if they turn a few corners. At this time, listening to Tang An's analysis of peeling off the cocoon, everyone felt the weight of the burden on their shoulders.

Only now did they understand that Zhan Lingyun took them to flee not to live for themselves, but for the strategic layout of the entire Western Regions.

"Drag it down, not for death, but for life. The general once said that you are his pride, and even when he was dying, he kept repeating this phrase. He feels that you are being implicated for him, and you are running for your life like a lost dog in the vast Western Regions. He is ashamed of you, so he asked me to take you out and survive. Tang An continued, but his eyes suddenly froze: "But-look at the way you look now, are you still his pride and the pride of our entire Datang?" You're not! ”

Everyone was ashamed, but they didn't expect that the impulse of the moment almost caused immeasurable serious consequences. Thinking about Zhan Lingyun's ardent hope, everyone only felt ashamed and sad, and they couldn't wait to slap themselves a few times.

"Even so, why are you our boss?"

"Do you think Lao Tzu is willing to be the coach of this Rauschzi? Lao Tzu lives happily in the capital, to put it bluntly, you have nothing to do with me! If you don't agree to the old general, who the would want to play hide and seek with a bunch of remnants carrying their heads and those mustaches in a place where birds don't! Tang An glared and spat out. But Lao Tzu is not you, Lao Tzu admires the old general's personality, and knows that with the impulsiveness of you fools, the old general's hard work will be in vain! For the sake of thousands of people in Datang, even if I don't want to take on this kind of drudgery, I still stand here. I can proudly say that Lao Tzu's feelings are 10,000 times higher than you idiots! Now if anyone can pat their chests and say loudly that they can escape with their brothers, Lao Tzu will immediately abdicate and make way for Xian! ”

A group of soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, they all bow their heads, and dare not say any more. It's okay to ask them to charge, but let them plan - it's better to kill them directly.

Tang An's eyes swept over everyone sharply, and said, "I'll ask again-is there any!" ”

The crowd was silent. When it comes to the entire Western Regions and a group of brothers, no one dares to respond blindly.

Deathly quiet.

Tang An was silent for a long time, his knife-like eyes swept over everyone one by one, and said loudly: "Okay, since there is no one, now it is up to Lao Tzu to decide!" Chen Buping! ”

"The last general!"

"Let's go!"

"Order!"

Tang An's scolding finally woke up the group of soldiers who were carried away by hatred, and in the sound of Chen Buping's slogans, everyone quickly lined up, and after a while, an extraordinary heroic division arrayed in front.

Tang An nodded with satisfaction, turned around and bowed deeply to Zhan Lingyun's nameless tomb, and said, "Old general, please rest assured, even if the road ahead is all difficult and dangerous, Tang An will definitely not live up to your old entrustment." No matter how difficult it is, I will take a group of brothers back to my hometown and Datang! ”
