On weekdays, it is often crowded here, and some generals of the Sixth Army who have returned to the city and province will come here to pay their respects, making it a lively scene.

But today, the whole street from here fell into silence, and a depressing atmosphere also filled the air, even if anyone passing by did not dare to make a loud noise, as if they were afraid of something and cause disaster.

The two big characters of Xufu, which were originally painted with gold, are also wrapped in white coarse cloth, giving people a sense of desolation and sadness.

Xu Rong died in battle, and when the news returned to Jinyang City and returned to Xu Mansion, the entire mansion fell into a sea of crying. Mrs. Xu, Ye, fainted to death on the spot.

Xu Rong's affection for his family can be described as a model among all generals.

I think that at the beginning, the reason why Xu Rong joined Zhang Chao's door was precisely because his family was protected by him. And for the sake of his family, he did not hesitate to turn against Master Dong Zhuo, who was soaring at the time, but on the contrary, he did help Zhang Chao, who was not very famous at the time, you can see how much he cared about his family.

Compared with some generals who will take concubines after they have fame and status, Xu Rong has always had only one wife, which was very difficult at that time.

It is the relationship between the husband and wife for many years, and the relationship between the two has become heavier. Now that he learned that his husband died on the battlefield, Ye Shi felt that the sky was dark, he had lost the spiritual pillar of his life, and fainted to the ground.

Fortunately, then Hua Tuo's divine doctor rushed to Xu's mansion. He was entrusted by the general Zhang Chao to come, and with him, the Ye family quickly sobered up.

But when I woke up, I burst into tears. I didn't cry like a normal person, but the tears did not stop for days, and my eyesight began to deteriorate dramatically. In Hua Tuo's words, if you don't stop it, I'm afraid you'll cry blind in both eyes.

The matter of the Ye family spread to the general's mansion, and soon, several ladies appeared in the Xu mansion to do comforting things.

Facing the appearance of the high-ranking and noble general's wife, even though the Ye family was sad, she had to cheer up to deal with it, so she stopped her tears and saved her eyes.

And a few days after the incident, today's Ye's tears couldn't stop flowing out again, not for anything else, just because today is the day of Xu Rong's funeral.

As soon as it was in the morning, the entire street was blocked by Zhang Jiajunhe.

Chenshi. The civil and military officials in the group headed by Zhang Chao all came to the Xu Mansion, and according to the regulations, they had to carry the coffin before they could be funeral.

In the huge black coffin made of fine wood, there was only a piece of Xu Rong's usual clothes, as well as his portable weapon, the machete. At that time, the situation was too chaotic to bring out the corpse, and the weapon was snatched back with his own soldiers, which could be regarded as a kind of spiritual sustenance.

When the hour came, the coffin went out of the house. The long procession walked out of the Xu Mansion.

At the head of the line was a young man of fifteen or sixteen. He was holding a ruler-long spiritual seat, and the name of the legion commander Xu Rong was written on it. This person is Xu Rong's eldest son, Xu Kun.

After Xu Kun walked out of the mansion holding his father's spiritual seat. The thick coffin came out of the house, and from a distance, eight people walked out carrying the coffin on both sides.

As soon as the coffin came out, all the Zhang Jiajun on the entire street knelt on the ground, and a neat voice sounded, which made people who didn't know the situation think that only one person knelt down.

With the sound of kneeling, the whole street was full of falling pins.

If you listen closely, you can hear the sound of thin breathing.

If you look at it with the naked eye, you can be surprised to find that the man who carried the coffin was tall and handsome, with sharp eyes, and a faint coercion on his calm face.

Zhang Chao actually wanted to carry Xu Rong's coffin in person?

When this decision came out, the chief military advisor Guo Jia immediately objected, and then Lu Su, Tian Feng, Xianbei and others in the city also opposed it in unison, in their opinion, this was unreasonable.

Zhang Chao is the identity of a prince, and even according to the performance of those princes, he is a king or even an emperor. That is the case, how can a person with such a status casually carry the coffin of others? Isn't it clear who is big and who is small?

In the past, once the ministers were collectively opposed, Zhang Chao would definitely not do it. He knows his own catties, and he also knows the wisdom of these ministers.

It's just that this time, he was really abnormal, but he didn't accept the admonition, but instead ordered: "I am determined to decide this matter, if anyone is speaking out against it, kill!" ”

This is rare for Zhang Chao to use such a ruthless language on Wenchen. As soon as this statement came out, no one dared to speak.

It's not that Wenchen has no backbone, he is a person who is afraid of death. It's that they see one thing clearly, that is, Zhang Chao is determined to make a decision, and it is far from what they can say.

Zhang Chao refused all the requests of Wenchen and wanted to carry Xu Rong's coffin in person, which naturally aroused great favor among the generals. But all the division commanders and regimental commanders of the various legions who were able to withdraw from the barracks rushed back to Jinyang City.

Not only that, but it was like Huang Zhong, the commander of the Second Army, Tai Shici, the commander of the Third Army, Xu Huang, the commander of the Fifth Army, Zhang Liao, the commander of the Seventh Army, Lu Bu, the leader of the Vanguard Army, Gan Ning, the commander of the Waterway Army, and Gao Shun, the commander of the camp of the trapped camp, all entered the city from the military camp and gathered in the Xu Mansion.

In addition to Zhang Chao, the other seven people who carried the coffin were these legion commanders. As soon as the coffin-carrying team formed by them left the house, it was no wonder that the entire street was quiet, and all the Zhang Jiajun had to kneel.

It is no exaggeration to say that these people are also the most important force in Zhang Chao's group. It is precisely because of the existence of these people that there has been no war in the state for many years, and the people can live in peace.

The core personnel formed this coffin-carrying team, and after they left the Xu Mansion, they slowly walked towards the martyrs' memorial hall and the martyrs' large relief group in the center of the city.

Every inch of land is valuable, Zhang Chao did set aside a large area here to build a mourning hall, which also aroused opposition from some people at the beginning. However, with the continuous expansion of the army over the years, I don't know how many soldiers' bones have been buried here, and I don't know how many soldiers have sighed for it, and even more so how many soldiers wish to be buried here after death, because there are their comrades-in-arms, their brothers, and their spiritual and spiritual sustenance.

It is precisely for this reason that the front-line soldiers will use their lives in every big battle, because they know that the so-called death is nothing more than to see their brothers and friends who have left at that time.

The first four weeks of today's mourning hall were also guarded by the soldiers of the Zhang Jiajun very early. The only difference is that none of these soldiers are on horseback, and this is because of the rules here. But all those who come here, the military attache has to dismount, the civil official has to get off the sedan chair, and even Zhang Chao himself has to walk to show respect.

All of them are dressed in black and black armor, and even their faces are covered with black armor, but their mouths, noses and eyes are exposed. Even if it is the scorching sun now, it still hasn't digested the depressed feelings in people's hearts.

The procession arrived at the mourning hall on time, and then the official in charge of Wenli arranged the burial.

Noticing that Zhang Chao was walking far away at this moment, a layer of fine sweat appeared on his head, and Xu Chu, one of the chief guards, was holding a handkerchief and wanted to wipe it, but because of a warning look, he stopped.

Xu Chu could feel that Zhang Chao was really angry, and he stood there like a child who had done something wrong, not daring to say or move.

The burial ceremony went quickly. When the black coffin was completely put into the ground that had been buried a long time ago, when Zhang Chao took the lead in raising a handful of loess on the black coffin, the sound of bitterness finally sounded irrepressibly, in addition to the family of the Xu Mansion, there was a seven-foot man who fell to the ground in pain, and tears had already wet his face, placket, and sleeves.

"Commander, I'm sorry for you, it's not worth it to save me!" While crying bitterly, he slapped the ground with his fists, and after a while, blood spilled from both palms.

The person kneeling on the ground was none other than Yan Liang, the deputy commander of the Sixth Legion.

That day, after being rescued by Xu Rong, he fell into a coma due to tiredness and injury. When I woke up, I realized what had happened.

After hearing that Xu Rong was one against four, he still injured Zhang Shao and cut Zhang Bao's mount, he was also shocked. Of course, he couldn't accept the death of the regiment commander psychologically for a while, and fainted again after hearing it.

Later, he returned to Jinyang City, and his body was cured under the treatment of two famous doctors, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing. It's just that people seem to have changed, and they don't laugh.

In the past, Yan Liang always thought that he was an outsider, but he was reused by Zhang Chao, and he still thought that he was being used. But until Xu Rong died to save himself, his state of mind changed completely.

Not to mention Xu Rong's ability, just talk about his qualifications, but he is an old man who follows Zhang Chao. Otherwise, he would not have been entrusted with reuse, and for the sake of a newcomer like himself, he didn't care about life and death. You must know that Xu Rong didn't come to the rescue at that time, and others couldn't say anything. After all, when a general goes to the battlefield, he must be ready to die in battle.

But Xu Rong still made a move, and for his own safety to evacuate, he was willing to stay and block the enemy, and it can even be said that he was ready to exchange his life for his life.

Speaking of which, Yan Liang and Xu Rong have not known each other for a long time, and they have no personal relationship, but he is indeed willing to die to save himself. With this alone, it is enough to gain respect, and Yan Liang has also changed his understanding of Zhang Chao's group because of this, and the friendship between these generals is far from being comparable to the intrigue between them when they were in Jizhou.
