Chapter 105: The Monument to the Martyrs
In the early morning of the second day of the recovery of Yuyang. The east wind had stopped, and a rising morning sun climbed softly into the sky, as if it had not yet woken up, weakly exuding its own weak energy to the earth, barely weakening some of the cold in the early winter.
After the morning exercise, the 100,000 troops lined up and quietly looked at Ao Lie standing on the platform in the center of the military academy. This day is also the glory of the 100,000 army, after today, the reinforcements from all over the country will return to the counties, and the scene of 100,000 people lining up at the same time will not be staged again in the short term.
In fact, although after yesterday's war, the Han army was less than 100,000 people, but every soldier had a voice in their hearts reminding them that they were 100,000 troops, they had recovered Yuyang City, and they were the most majestic army when today's son was in power. Even if after the war, these 100,000 troops will face disintegration, but the light they once bloomed made everyone in the world see a little bit that the Han army still has the ability to conquer everything.
When the eyes of 100,000 people were fixed on Tong Ao Lie, Ao Lie beckoned to the audience. Several elites of the Blood Killing Battalion came to the stage with a huge stone tablet, placed the stone tablet in the center of the platform, and then retreated silently.
Ao Lie looked at the black stele in front of him, sighed softly, and reached out to stroke the edge of the stele. After a long time, Ao Lie raised his head and looked at the 100,000 male soldiers under the general. His right hand slapped hard twice on the stele, and Ao Lie said loudly: "Soldiers, Ben Hou has carved this martyr's monument before the war, and Ben Hou said at that time, I don't want any of you to leave their name on the martyr's monument, because the person who can leave his name on the martyr's monument has already sacrificed his life for the country." However, Ben Hou also said that when some of you leave your name on the martyr's monument, Ben Hou will be proud of you, because you are martyrs, martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country, and real men. ”
The eyes of the 100,000-strong army all shifted to the Martyrs' Monument. At this moment, on this black stone stele, the names of many people are densely engraved, and each person's name is rendered with red paint after carving. Red and black, the two tones are blended together, which highlights the solemn and heroic taste of the Loyal Martyrs' Monument.
The heart of every soldier is heavy. They understand that the names on the martyrs' monument are not just a few characters and a few carvings, but those names represent their once intimate robes and good brothers in their army. Yesterday, after a great battle, these brothers had disappeared forever from their lives, leaving only the cold names on the martyrs' monuments, representing their former exploits.
"There are 12,757 names of brothers on the monument. Benhou is proud of them, these brothers lost their lives, but they left their merits to us, brought stability to the people of Youzhou, and promoted the power of the Han Dynasty to the extreme! Therefore, these brothers are not really dead, their souls will live forever in our hearts and on this martyr's monument like their names! Ao Lie was really a little emotional, his words were fierce and high-spirited, and when it came to the end, he couldn't even control his emotions a little, and barely suppressed the excitement in his heart before he finished saying these words.
The subtle changes in Ao Lie's voice were clearly heard by the 100,000 army. In the mouths of many princes, loving soldiers like sons is just a high-sounding slogan, but here in Ao Lie, these four words occupy a very important weight in Ao Lie's heart, and Ao Lie has also used his actions countless times to reflect his attention to these four words.
The 100,000 army empathized with Ao Lie's words, and could all feel the excitement and sadness in Ao Lie's heart at the moment. Driven by Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and other generals, they silently raised the weapons in their hands and pointed straight to the sky, paying silent tribute to the robe Ze who was named on the martyr's monument. Some of them couldn't help but burst into tears, but they still obeyed the iron-like military discipline of the Ao Lie Army, and did not make any noise, allowing the tears to cross their faces, slide to the ground, and merge with the soil.
Ao Lie calmed down his emotions and continued: "The general will inevitably die before the battle, and I, as an elite soldier of the Han Dynasty, have long been ready to die in battle, so we don't need to be sad, in order for our family to live a stable life, and our Han country can be as stable as before, we have no reason and qualification to be sad." All we can do is to eliminate all the dangers that threaten our families and all the factors that undermine the stability of the Han River. When we encounter such dangers and factors, we can only move forward, forward, and forward. ”
These 100,000 troops include the troops directly under Ao Lie, Liu Yu's Youzhou army, and county soldiers from all over the country. But no matter what kind of sergeants they belong to, at this moment, in their hearts, they are a complete whole with each other, and there is only one commander in their hearts, that is, Ao Lie, who is standing next to the Loyal Martyrs' Monument. Under the guidance of the commander-in-chief, a firm belief was implanted in their hearts, and they would not hesitate to sacrifice their lives for the stability of their families and the stability of the country. Only those who have faith can be called a thinking life, and an army with faith is the real elite, because a firm belief will support them in future battles and support the whole army to win more victories, and this belief is called the soul of the army.
"Onward! Forward!! Forward ——!!! The 100,000 army could no longer suppress the emotions in their hearts, and shouted loudly with Ao Lie's words. When 100,000 people shouted the same sentence in unison, the scene was really spectacular, and wave after wave of sound rushed into the sky, full of the faith and determination of 100,000 soldiers. It seemed that the sun, which had just climbed into the sky, trembled.
The cries of the soldiers endured for a long time, and in this sonorous and powerful shout, the morale of the 100,000-strong army soared at high speed, and everyone's hearts were invisibly baptized, as if a magical force was injected into their bodies, making them more brave and less afraid of death. At the same time, their eyes became more eager when they looked at Ao Lie and at the Loyal Martyrs' Monument.
Ao Lie patted the monument of the martyrs again and said: "The blood of these brothers cannot be shed in vain, we have to take two things to commemorate these brothers." The first thing is to besiege the Wei Yu department of Feiru, we want to capture Wei Yu and take his head in front of the martyr's monument; The second thing is also a human head, the head of the traitor Zhang Ju, if he doesn't kill Zhang Ju, it is not enough to comfort the souls of these brothers in the sky! ”
"Capture Wei Yu first, and then kill Zhang Ju——!" The army of 100,000 kept shouting.
Just when the shouts of capture and killing filled the entire military academy field, a majestic voice sounded outside the military academy field: "Zhang Juren's head is here!" ”
Ao Lie's eyes froze, looking for prestige.
Outside the military academy, more than a dozen horsemen stood at the edge of the field, guarding a teenager in the middle. This young man is none other than Jiangdong Tiger Sun Ce. At this moment, Sun Ce was covered in blood, but looking at his expression, to the malaise after not being injured, it can be seen that the blood on his body is someone else's.
Sun Ce sat on horseback, took a package from the retinue behind him, and opened it to reveal a human head ready to be cut off. Sun Ce raised the head in his hand and shouted again: "The traitor Zhang Ju's head is here!" ”
Why did Sun Ce cut off Zhang Ju's head? There's another thing to tell. Time goes back to the time when Ao Lie led the troops to the battle.
With the help of Ao Lie, Sun Ce was very grateful to Ao Lie after the epiphany, and the sentence that water can carry a boat and can also overturn a boat woke up Sun Ce and made him understand that he fell into a special state of madness, which can be adjusted after being guided. If you grasp the direction and adjustment well, let Sun Ce's physical strength increase dramatically, and at the same time, avoid falling into real madness, but retain the reason he deserves, it will definitely be a big killer.
Out of gratitude, Sun Ce wanted to say to Ao Lie at that time that he would go to Yuyang with Ao Lie to quell the chaos, but Sun Ce has always been very proud, although after being defeated by Ao Lie, his pride was greatly reduced, but he still couldn't say soft words, after all, Sun Ce did not belong to the generals under Ao Lie, and if he wanted to go with Ao Lie, he had to take Ao Lie's favor.
So Sun Ce secretly made a decision to secretly follow behind Ao Lie's army to see if he could help Ao Lie after seeing Yuyang. But Sun Ce didn't expect that Ao Lie was indeed very good at leading the troops, and the scouts in Ao Lie's army soon discovered that someone was following behind the army, so Sun Ce had to change his route in order not to expose the target, turning the road to the north, intending to return to Yuyang from the north. This detour made Sun Ce and the others' journey slower than that of Ao Lie's army. Fortunately, Sun Ce and others only had a dozen people, and they were easy to move, and they didn't rush to Yuyang to participate in the battle after going around in a big circle.
Coincidentally, when Sun Ce rushed towards Yuyang, it was the time when Ao Lie's subordinates attacked the city the most. At that time, Zhang Ju abandoned the army and only took more than 1,000 people out of the city from the north gate and fled north. So, Sun Ce and Zhang Ju's department met on the main road. What's more coincidental is that Sun Ce may not be able to recognize Zhang Ju originally, but Sun Ce went north this time, and happened to have Cheng Pu by his side, Cheng Pu is a native of Youbeiping, who has lived in Youzhou since he was a child, and he had dealt with Zhang Ju when he was young, and he recognized Zhang Ju at a glance. Sun Ce didn't say a word, and rode his horse straight to Zhang Ju to kill. Zhang Ju would never have thought that someone would be waiting for him on the north road, and the defenseless Zhang Ju was assassinated by Sun Ce on the spot and under the horse, and a generation of heroes ended up with the fate of the king of Hades for some reason.
After Zhang Ju's death, the deserters were disheartened, and they couldn't concentrate at all in the fight with Sun Ce and others, and they were killed by Sun Ce. Seeing that Sun Ce was unstoppable, these deserters immediately dispersed, allowing Sun Ce and the others to avoid a scuffle and easily come to Yuyang City.
Under the gaze of the 100,000 army, Sun Ce turned over and dismounted, put the heavy gun on the ground, held Zhang Ju's head in both hands, walked into the military academy step by step, walked to the point platform, and then put Zhang Ju's head in front of the martyr's monument. After that, Sun Ce pushed a few steps away and bowed to the Martyrs' Monument.
Sun Ce's actions immediately won the favor of the 100,000-strong army. Of course, it's just a good feeling.
After seeing Sun Ce's movements, the corners of Ao Lie's mouth chuckled, it seems that after this Jiangdong tiger was defeated by himself, his arrogance was really restrained a lot, and he began to learn to respect others and ordinary soldiers. Regardless of whether Ao Lie and Jiangdong are friends or enemies in the future, Ao Lie is still very happy about Sun Ce's change. Being able to use his positive energy to help someone is what Ao Lie likes to do.
Reaching out and patting Sun Ce's shoulder, Ao Lie said, "God bless the heroic spirit." Bo Fu killed Zhang Ju, which was very happy. If you have any requirements, just mention them, and if you can do something, you will definitely not refuse. ”
Sun Ce stared straight into Ao Lie's eyes and chuckled: "Ao Hussar is a man of course, of course he believes it." There is something I want to ask Ao Hussar, but I'm afraid you won't agree. ”
Ao Lie asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?" ”
Sun Ce straightened his waist and said seriously: "I want to worship you as a teacher!" ”
