The people and horses brought by Zhu Jun, but Ao Lie's hope for a turnaround lies in Ao Lie's response to Cao Cao and Guo Jia's joint efforts to formulate a plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and now hearing that Zhu Jun's army will inexplicably appear in the phenomenon of low morale, Ao Lie couldn't help but be very anxious, and immediately let the messenger lead the way, with Ma Chao, Xu Chu and Dian Wei and a hundred elites of the blood killing army, rushed to the valley where Zhu Jun was stationed.

Coming to the outside of the valley, Ao Lie felt a heavy sadness on the faces of the sergeants patrolling the periphery, under the rendering of this aura, it seemed that the entire valley was shrouded in a gloomy mist, Ao Lie didn't like this feeling very much, which made him have a very bad premonition.

Entering the valley, Ao Lie saw that the soldiers under Zhu Jun had not carried out daily training, and there were even very few people walking around, gathering in groups of three or five, whispering something, and many of them had tears on their faces. When they saw Ao Lie, they all stood up and saluted Ao Lie, but no matter how they looked at it, their politeness was accompanied by an indescribable sadness.

What the hell is going on here? What could happen for Lang? How can such an army go to war? Isn't it to die when you go to the battlefield? What about the military heart? Why did the military spirit dissipate so completely? A series of mysteries sounded in Ao Lie's mind, urging him to walk quickly towards Zhu Jun's Chinese army tent.

Entering the big tent, Ao Lie immediately understood why the soldiers outside were sad, because Ao Lie saw that Zhu Jun, who had quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the past and was majestic, was already a dying man on the sick bed at this moment. The years have carved too many traces on Zhu Jun's face, and in the rush of time, Zhu Jun, a veteran, has come to the end of his life. Perhaps Zhu Jun's past achievements were too brilliant, and while people admired him, they ignored his age, and even Ao Lie forgot that Zhu Jun was already an old man over sixty years old.

In the midst of a violent cough. Zhu Jun lay on the sickbed, slowly turned his head, and the moment he saw Ao Lie, two rays of light burst out from his eyes as if they were returning to the light, and then they dimmed again. In his eyes, Ao Lie clearly saw the firm belief in loyalty to the country and the endless regret of unpaid ambitions.

Walking quickly to Zhu Jun's bedside, Ao Lie knelt on one knee, ignoring the respect of King Yan, and gave Zhu Jun a nephew salute. Said sadly: "Boss, it has affected the boss, Lie didn't know that the boss was seriously ill, and it was Lie's fault to ask the boss to go on the expedition." Zhu Jun's son Zhu Hao cried beside him and said: "When King Yan came to Chang'an, his father was already seriously ill, but he knew that King Yan must have come for the affairs of Hanzhong, so he concealed his illness from King Yan and made an appointment to send troops together. Before the expedition. My father's illness also occurred once, and the last general wanted to go on the expedition for his father, but my father refused to agree to anything, and insisted on going out in person. Along the way, my father's health became worse and worse, and during the day today, his condition suddenly deteriorated. Right now...... Now, I'm afraid it's ......" Speaking of the most, Zhu Hao couldn't cry anymore. I can't go on anymore.

"Alright...... When is it, and ...... Ahem, and said what do you do, the eldest husband was born in ...... Born between heaven and earth, he should be ...... Ahem, it is the duty of a soldier to be loyal to the country, and it is also a ...... It is also the glory of a soldier......" Zhu Jun's old voice sounded, interrupting Zhu Hao's crying. Although the voice is old, the artistic conception in the words is sonorous and powerful, and the true character of an iron-blooded tough guy still runs through the depths of Zhu Jun's soul at the moment when his life is about to come to an end.

Slowly raising his hand, Zhu Jun grabbed Ao Lie's arm hard, and said with a breath: "King Yan, the old man is no good, from now on, the old man will ...... Ahem, I will hand over the soldiers under my command to you, promise...... promised the old man that he must recapture Hanzhong and keep his ...... Keep the big man! ”

Ao Lie's eyes were already blurred, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears in his eyes, so that Zhu Jun's withered face reappeared in front of his eyes, and replied solemnly: "Don't worry, my lord, if Ao Lie lives in the world for a day, he will not let the Han people be bullied, and Ao Lie will definitely take them to live a stable life without war and hunger." Ao Lie's words are from the heart, he can't guarantee that the Han will be passed on forever, this is impossible, no matter how strong the dynasty is, there will be a day of decline, but Ao Lie, as a Han man, he will do his best to continue the inheritance of the Han people, just like the history textbooks of later generations, no matter how the dynasties on the land of China change, but the title of the Han people has been throughout the history of the development of China, up and down for five thousand years, the Han people have always been the masters of the land of China! At this point, Ao Lie will never let it deviate in any way!

In fact, the Han people in Ao Lie's mouth are not the same as the Han people in the consciousness of Zhu Jun and others, Zhu Jun and others are limited by the times, and their thinking is relatively narrow for Ao Lie, they think that the Han people in Ao Lie's mouth refer to the people of the Han Dynasty, only Ao Lie himself knows, the Han people he said are thousands of Chinese descendants, and the Han people are just a general name for China, this title, including the current Han people, also includes the Xianbei, Xiongnu and other alien people who have been sinicized, and even includes the fifty-six ethnic groups that have been handed down in later generations! These people are all part of the Han people in a broad sense, and they are all the masters of China! No one can take away an inch of the land of China in their hands, and no one can destroy the inheritance of China in front of them! Ao Lie's promise is to do his utmost to safeguard the unity of China and ensure that every citizen in the land of China can live a happy and stable life.

Zhu Jun listened to Ao Lie's promise word for word, and the biggest concern in his heart could finally be put down, slowly turning his head, Zhu Jun looked in the direction of Hanzhong outside the big tent, and suddenly shouted with all his might: "Take back Hanzhong!" Recapture Hanzhong!! Recapture ......" failed to finish the last sentence, and Zhu Jun swallowed the last breath of his life. Until death, Zhu Jun's eyes were always looking in the direction of Hanzhong, a veteran who had worked hard for the Han Dynasty all his life, and always thought about Hanzhong, a place where the wind and clouds would meet, because it was the gateway to the Guanzhong region and the barrier for Luoyang!

"Father! Father ...... "Zhu Hao couldn't cry, he fell to his knees crying, and knocked his head to the ground at the aging Zhu Jun, unwilling to lift it for a long time.

Ao Lie's heart was sad, in his heart, Zhu Jun was a real warrior, he dedicated his life to the Han Dynasty, fought for the Han Dynasty, and brought a ray of life to the Han Dynasty at that time, but for this, he didn't know how many scars he left on his body, such a person is the most respectable person. With a flick of the cloak behind him, Ao Lie's other knee also fell to the ground, and then kowtowed three times respectfully to Zhu Jun.

With Ao Lie's big gift farewell, Ma Chao and the others who were standing behind Ao Lie also fell to the ground in unison. Just like dominoes, Ao Lie's visit caused a series of chain reactions, the people who said goodbye to Zhu Jun's body gradually extended from the inside of the big tent to the outside of the big tent, and from the outside of the big tent to the entire barracks, not long after, the 10,000 soldiers who accompanied Zhu Jun on the expedition have already knelt on the ground, they are trained by Zhu Jun, and each of them can find Zhu Jun's shadow, in their opinion, Zhu Jun is not only their commander, but also their amiable and respectable elders, Zhu Jun passed away, They couldn't help crying, and the grief from the bottom of their hearts instantly permeated the entire barracks.

After a long time, Ao Lie slowly stood up, pulled Zhu Hao to the outside of the big tent, and whispered to Zhu Hao: "Wipe away your tears!" We still have to uphold the last wish of the boss to recapture Hanzhong! When Zhu Hao heard this, his eyes suddenly burst out with a strong desire to fight, wiped away his tears, took two steps forward and said loudly: "Soldiers! My father has passed away, but he left two wills, if everyone still remembers their father's kindness to you in the past, please help someone fulfill his father's last wish! ”

The 10,000 soldiers had tears in their eyes and said in a choked voice: "Major General, the general is as kind to me as a mountain, and we will swear to fulfill the general's last wish!" ”

"Good! In that case, everyone doesn't have to cry, all stand up! Zhu Hao said loudly. Under Zhu Hao's order, the soldiers stood up from the ground, the sadness on their faces did not retreat in the slightest, but the firmness in their eyes became more and more intense, they had already made up their minds, even if they were desperate, they would help Zhu Jun fulfill his last wish.

Zhu Hao stretched out his hand and pointed at Ao Lie, and continued: "My father's deathbed will, from now on, the whole army will be included under the command of King Yan and accept the dispatch of King Yan, this is one of them; Second, under the command of King Yan, we must recapture Hanzhong and guard the gate of Guanzhong! ”

10,000 soldiers raised their right arms and shouted, "Swear allegiance to King Yan to the death!" Swear to recapture Hanzhong! ”

Feeling the passionate emotions of the soldiers, Ao Lie took a step forward and said: "The old man has been a model for my generation to protect his family and defend the country all his life. We should follow in the footsteps of the old man, to complete his unfulfilled wish, the boss is a great man in life, and he is a ghost in death, if we can't recapture Hanzhong, and have a peaceful face, he will meet the boss under the nine springs in the future? The whole army listened to the order, immediately pulled out, and rushed to Hanzhong with the king to help the old man fulfill his last wish! ”

The soldiers agreed with a bang, and then saluted in order outside Zhu Jun's big tent, and then turned around to pack up the grain and grass equipment of the army. Zhu Hao endured the pain and set up the pyre, put Zhu Jun's body on the pyre, and then lit the torch with his own hands to cremate Zhu Jun's body. The people of the Han Dynasty paid attention to entering the soil for safety, but now in the process of war, Zhu Hao really couldn't bear to let his father bury his bones in his hometown, so he had to cremate him and bury his father's ashes in his hometown after the war.

In the green smoke, a generation of famous generals Zhu Jun disappeared forever in this world, but future generations will not forget his loyalty, as well as his contribution to the country, he will go down in history and become the eternal benchmark and model for later military personnel. As Ao Lie said, being born a hero, and dying is also a ghost, this is the most valuable inheritance that Zhu Jun left to future generations of soldiers. (To be continued......)
