PS: After Sanchun goes, the group is scattered

Volume II, Chapter 54

Helian Bobo did not stay in Chang'an for a few days before leaving.

Those palaces in Yao Qin were burned to the ground, and it was impossible to rebuild them without a few years of effort. He is the Emperor of Great Xia, and he can't always sit in a random house and wait for the court to rise.

But that's not the point.

The city couldn't make him feel safe.

The mountains and rivers on the surface are solid, but in the past hundred years, they have changed their owners like a marquee. Not to mention it far away, just in front of him, Yao Qin will be finished after speaking, and Liu Yu's men and horses have barely been entrenched for two years. Now this place has been included in the territory of Great Xia, but Tuoba Xianbei is eyeing it, and Rouran is also drooling.

Chang'an Chang'an, after the Western Han Dynasty, no one can live for a long time.

It's better to be unified.

No matter if the people of the world praise Chang'an, it cannot become the imperial capital of Great Xia, it is not enough to make Bo Bo sleep in peace, it can only be the southern bridgehead of Great Xia to win the Central Plains or block the enemy of the Central Plains.

He only needs to do two things in Chang'an, the first is to kill people, and the second is to reward him.

Emperor, apart from these two things, what else is there to be busy with? Take people's lives with one hand, give people wealth with the other, and the imperial power is there!

Never before have so many enemy generals been captured at one time, and they were all over the world. Fu Hongzhi, Zhu Lingshi, Zhu Chaoshi, Mao Xiuzhi, Kuai En, Wang Jingxian.

He appreciated Fu Hongzhi the most and wanted to take him down. But the latter was imposing on the battlefield, and he was still arrogant on the execution ground, sneering at the high posture of the Great Xia Emperor. The high-ranking official Houlu couldn't be moved, and the threat of cutting off his head did not change color, and he was furious. ordered him to be stripped of his clothes, and asked this Nanban to teach him the severe cold of December in Guanzhong. Fu Hongzhi has been scolding. Until he was unconscious, fell into a coma, and finally fell completely silent in the frost, like an ice sculpture that swore not to bow his head.

After Zhu Lingshi got rid of the pursuers. The handsome soldiers entered the Cao Gongli occupied by Wang Jingxian. Zhu Chaoshi, who was ordered to comfort Guanzhong County, had already encountered hostility everywhere and could not continue to cruise. Cao Gonglei was built by Cao Cao in that year, and it had the conditions to hold on for a long time, but its water source came from a mountain stream outside the fortress, and the Huns cut it off without hesitation. The dehydrated officers and soldiers were unable to fight, and the fortress was quickly breached. Seeing that the overthrow was imminent, Zhu Lingshi asked Zhu Chaoshi to flee quickly. The brothers always had to leave one for their mother's death. But Zhu Chaoshi couldn't bear to let his brother die alone, and was determined to accompany him to the end, and in the end, both brothers were captured. Helian Bobo only glanced at them, recognized their faces, and ordered them all to be executed.

Fu Hongzhi froze to death, and Zhu Lingshi, Zhu Chaoshi, Mao Xiuzhi, Kuai En, and Wang Jingxian were all killed. So far, the heroes of the Northern Expedition and the essence of the Beifu generation have almost been lost!

The stars have fallen, and the flowers have withered.

Bo Bo didn't want people to quickly forget about his brilliant victory. He ordered the heads of the Jin officers and soldiers to be gathered together and built into a Beijing temple. This terrifying platform stands outside Chang'an City, and there is nothing scary from a distance, unless you walk in front of it. But in the spring of the next year. It will become a source of pus, blood and stench, a paradise for flies and crows, and a breeding ground for maggots. It's going to take a long time. Creation can gradually turn it into a pile of collapsed white bones, gradually losing its terrifying aura and sight.

This pile of bones has been piled up there. During the occupation of Guanzhong by Great Xia. If the Helian royal family did not speak, no one dared to bury it. After Tuoba Wei destroyed Great Xia. The officials were not interested in burying the skulls of these Nanbans, and the traveling merchants avoided it from a distance, so as not to get into bad luck. For a long time afterward, it was the origin of all sorts of ghost tales, with people saying that there were terrible cries at night, and that horses' hooves and swords could be heard on cloudy and rainy days. In the early years of Tang Zhenguan, Li Shimin ordered the destruction of all the heads of the world, and this pile of white bones was buried deeply. A descendant of a general in Beifu asked a monk to do a ritual to give an explanation to these unjust souls who have been wandering for many years. In fact, Li Shimin himself also engaged in this kind of thing during the years of conquest, but as an emperor, he cared more about buying people's hearts than intimidating them.

Wang Maide, the chief architect of this war, was rewarded and was crowned the official Shangshu and the Marquis of Heyang. On his way back to Chang'an, he was invited by Helian Chang and Helian Bi, both of whom wanted him to speak well for himself in front of his father. But he knew that Bo Bo had eyeliner in his sons' army, so he just told them the truth, never try to hide anything, and never speak ill of his brother in front of his father. Although the brothers fought fiercely in secret, this time they listened to the advice of others to eat a full meal, told the truth to Bobo, and did not tear each other down. The latter actually knew everything about Helian Chang's kidnapping and Helian Chang's covenant with the Jin people, and saw that the two sons were honest and had their own attitude of asking for guilt, but they did not pursue anything, but only rewarded Helian Chang for annihilating Liu Yizhen's department and Helian Chang for breaking Cao Gong's base. He didn't want to let his two sons decide it too early, and he wanted to see who was more suitable to take over the crown next. He knew in his heart that his sons were actually not very successful, and they might not be able to keep the family business that his father had fought hard for in troubled times, but he couldn't manage it so much. An empire as big as the Huns has been tossed and gone, and this Great Xia in the northwest corner can make Helian Bo Bo and luxurious, even if it is profitable.

The news of the death of the generals in Guanzhong reached Luoyang more than a month later, and Guo Xu was ready to leave for the south. This news was not a surprise to him, and it did not bring him more sadness, because the grief was given to Chen Song and Xu Zhihao. The total destruction of an army is a disaster for a certain country, and the death of only a few of them is a disaster for a single person. After entering Luoyang City, he slept for a full day and a night, and when he woke up, he learned that Hu Luzheng had left. This Xianbei man accompanied them all the way to the battle, from a prisoner to a guest, with countless hard work, miraculous achievements, and now he has fallen from the peak to the bottom. Now he has only one thought, and that is to end this nightmare and hurry back to his homeland. His brother in the Beifu soldiers, now only Guo Xu is left, although he likes this blacksmith brother and is willing to live and die with him, but he is unwilling to go to Jiangdong to face the face of Liu Yu, whom he hates so much. Xiao Qiao and Xue Mei'er sent him out of the city, worried that he would be liquidated when he returned, but Hu Lu had already made up his mind to go, and would rather die in the Xianbei grassland than drift in the territory of the Han people. In this way, when Guo Xu woke up, he found all the brothers in life and death. Now he was the only one left.

The Luoyang guard sent someone to escort Liu Yizhen back to Jiangdong, and Guo Xu's family accompanied Xue Mei'er's mother and son. When they arrived at Xu Pengcheng. It was discovered that the Beifu soldiers there had just been de-prepared from the first level. When Liu Yu received the news that the Northern Expeditionary Army had been defeated on the way south and Liu Yizhen's life and death were unknown, he immediately ordered the whole army to fight. Go north at any time to attack the Xia army. But none of the literati around him agreed with him to do so, warning him that this would not only lead to another defeat but also shake Jiangdong, which would be an uncontrollable disaster. When he hesitated and swayed, a report came from Luoyang, saying that Liu Yizhen had survived. Liu Yu took advantage of the situation to cancel the plan of the Second Northern Expedition, but his inner grief and anger were difficult to contain, and he climbed to the top of the city for several days in a row to help Pi look north. Generous runny nose.

He met with the dozens of people who ran back in the Song Mansion, and rewarded everyone with official titles in tears. Everyone cried and bowed down to thank you, except for Guo Xu.

There was only one voice in his heart: "You killed them all."

You killed Wang Zhenevil.

Shen Tianzi was killed by you.

Wang Xiu was killed by you.

You killed the madman.

Chen Song was killed by you.

Xu Zhihao was killed by you.

You killed that entire army.

When Liu Yu announced his promotion to the rank of Yang Wei general, he was silent, neither thanking nor bowing down. When Liu Yu's subordinates brought the brand-new armor to him, he took it and stared at the bright red helmet for a long time. Slammed the outfit to the ground:

"I can't carry the blood of my brethren on my head!"

He turned and walked away.

The civil and military attache Zuo who was present was shocked, and the Fa Cao official immediately asked Liu Yu to arrest Guo Xu and punish him for the crime of disrespect, but Liu Yu just sighed and shook his head. The young essence that he cultivated single-handedly. Only Guo Xu was left in this battle, and this person came back from a lot of hard work, and he was sad and angry because his brother died. Grieved by the annihilation of the whole army, just because he offended his boss, he had to write off all the pain and pain. was brought to justice by a group of scribes who stayed in the rear, so who would be willing to give him Liu Yu his life in the future? Not to mention. His conscience tormented him, so that he could not help but admit that he was the source of a calamity.

Guo Xu took the land route, planning to get on the boat from the Huai River, enter the river from the Huai River, and return to Beijing by water, so that women and children could suffer less from bumps. When the boat crossed the Huai River, he stood at the bow of the boat, looked at the rolling waves at the bow of the boat, listened to Xue Mei'er's sobs in the cabin, and remembered that his grandmother was swept away when crossing the Huai River, and he couldn't help but feel sad. He thought that he could turn his grandfather's life path, from south to north, and return to his hometown in Guanzhong, where he re-established the roots of the old Guo family. Unexpectedly, his hopes would be dashed so soon, and he had to be like his grandfather back then, with a wife and a young man, with the broken family of his life and death brothers, crossing the Huai River, crossing the Yangtze River, and continuing to live in Jiangdong, maybe he would die in a foreign land like this.

His old house is still there, but it is extremely dilapidated, and the yard is already overgrown with weeds. Shen Linzi and Tan Daoji knew that he was back, so they sent someone to help him clean up the house and build another house in the courtyard for Xue Mei'er. Ten days after returning home, the neighbors heard the long-lost jingle sound, and Guo Xu returned to his ancestral business and began to strike iron.

He would make a lot of money if he was willing to accept the job of building weapons in the army, but he firmly refused the kindness of the old commander and his comrades. He has no shortage of business, although he himself refused, but in the Beifu soldier sequence, he is still the newly promoted general Yangwei, so that he becomes the only blacksmith in Jingkou City who wears the title of general. People wanted to meet him and went to him to build household utensils.

Five or six days after the blacksmith shop reopened, the imperial court issued an edict posthumously conferencing Chen Song as the Marquis of Chiyang, the general of Yongyi, and the quasi-sons and grandchildren of the Emperor.

Xue Mei'er refused.

She didn't want Chen Song's children to accept Liu Yu's gift.

Guo Xu's Yulu and Chen Song's Yulu were both donated to the Jingkou Martyrs' Camp, which was automatically allocated there every month in the future for the parents and orphans of the fallen brothers.

Xue Meier and Xiaoqiao teamed up to set up a private school to teach the Analects and the Book of Songs to the children of their neighbors. There has never been a female school teacher in Jingkou City, and it is the two generals' wives who are female school teachers, people think they are nobles, and hope that the children can get good luck, so they have no shortage of disciples, nor lack of restraints, even if there is no Guo Xu's blacksmith shop business, it is enough to have food and clothing without worry. The blacksmith shop outside the courtyard clangs, and the sound of books in the school hall in the courtyard is loud, which is a spectacle and often attracts pedestrians to stop.

At the turn of spring and summer, when the shade of the trees in the yard was deep and the yellow warbler was just right, Xue Mei'er died.

She gave birth to a boy.

Later, he contracted puerperal fever, high fever, chills, and severe pain in the lower abdomen. Lang Zhong was helpless.

When she returned, she asked Xiaoqiao to bring a jewelry box, which contained an arrow in addition to earrings and rings. If it weren't for this child, she would have ended her life with this arrow and followed Chen Song. As a mother, there is nothing else to leave for the child, only this arrow, which is obtained from his father, I hope he will firmly remember: his father is a great hero, but he should not follow his father's path.

She left in a coma, with a smile on her face, as if she was going to a sweet rendezvous that had been promised for a long time.

Xiaoqiao didn't dare to cry for too long, there was a little life waiting for her to be a mother.

Guo Xu named the child Guo Huaisong.

As the days passed, the child grew up sucking Xiaoqiao's milk. Mr. and Mrs. Guo Xu are now parents of three children.

Guo Changan, Guo Xidu, Guo Huaisong.

Guo Xu slowly recovered from his pain, because the children were crying and laughing, they wanted to eat, they wanted to sleep, they wanted to play, they gradually walked, gradually learned to make trouble, and gradually brought endless happiness and troubles to their parents.

Guo Xu thought that this was the end of the day.

He enjoyed the mundane pleasures of the common people.

Until the day Liu Yu became emperor. (To be continued......)
