With regret and unwillingness, the Puppet Legion finally chose to leave Chang'an, a city that seemed to be within easy reach, but it was just a stone's throw away, and they obviously underestimated the strength of the resistance of the living and the determination to defend the city.

For the sake of the city, for the fathers, elders, wives and children behind them, these fetters that only belong to the living, the deceased may be able to understand, but even if they do, they only turn these things that they may or may care about very much into the power of resentment.

Resentment can make people crazy, but the idea of protection can make people strong.

And judging from the results, it is clear that the enemy is not crazy enough.

Of course, even such an enemy has paid a terrible price for the living.

The post-war inventory was undoubtedly a painful affair.

For such a difficult victory, the soldiers and civilians of Chang'an City paid an extremely huge price, whether it was spiritual, human or material.

Among them, the more eye-catching ones include the death of Huangfu Song, who was the commander of the Western Corps appointed by Li Shushi, on the spot, Zhu Jun, the assassin of Yongzhou, who has always been regarded as the deputy commander of the Corps, and the death of a group of Han veterans who survived the Li Guo Rebellion, including Yan Zhong and Zhao Qi, also died in this battle.

Although Huangfu Song's death in battle cannot be said to be a matter of course, but as an important incentive to inspire everyone to fight hard, when the war ended, everyone had calmed down from the excitement just now, but found that they were not as sad as they imagined, maybe this statement is not very respectful to the old man, but although there are many people who cry when the old man's bones are burned, how many of them are because of him, and how many are because their relatives are also among them It is really unknown.

Of course, this does not mean that the old man has not actually won everyone's respect, just from the fact that the old man has been affirmed by most people and quickly raised a lot of money, we can see everyone's attitude.

It's just that maybe the people who have survived so many things have already learned to bury the throbbing in their hearts deeply. Then use a stronger table to face the life and battle that may still be going on tomorrow.

They don't have time to let their sorrows run wild, they can't let the enemy see their weakness.

Speaking of which, because of the appearance of the undead in the grassland, although Li Shushi's cremation order still encountered a lot of resistance, it was still supported by most people in the face of the harsh reality, after all, not many people want to see their relatives crawl out of the grave and become ugly monsters, even if some people do not believe in this statement. But in the face of "iron-clad facts", they eventually became a minority - maybe they still resist such an order, and Li Shushi has no intention of forcing such an order, but the strange eyes of the people around them, and those who would rather believe the rumors that they have or cannot be believed, are really not ordinary nerves can carry down, and those who can really oppose the entire social opinion are very few in any era.

The ashes of the dead were placed in clay pots or wooden boxes, with their names written on them as much as possible - this was not easy, and there were not even a single number of soldiers left in this terrible battle. It is often normal for the entire army of 200 people to be wiped out, and without the familiar robes, many bloody corpses are simply unrecognizable.

From this point of view, although it is said that death is equal to all people, being a big man with a name and surname will still take advantage of this kind of thing, at least Huangfu Song's name will be remembered by the people of Chang'an City, and he will also have his own exclusive ancestral hall, at least for a long time, the locals will continue their memory of the old general.

Others, such as Zhu Jun and Yan Zhong, were not able to establish ancestral halls alone. But if Chang'an City can survive this battle in the end, then the people in the city will not forget them for the commemoration of the war. And now, for the time being, they can only be commemorated as relevant figures in the Huangfu Song Ancestral Hall.

Of course, if Huangfu Song can have the good luck of Guan Yu in the history of another plane, prosper all the way to the "immortal luck", and finally become the emperor of heaven, then these supporting characters on the side can probably be ranked in the immortal class like Zhou Cang.

Even if it was just a little soldier carrying a knife.

All right. The one who carried the burden for Tang Seng was also once a personal entourage in front of the Jade Emperor, and was given the title of "General", a well-known number one person.

Compared with Huangfu Song, who died on the battlefield, Zhu Jun's luck may be even worse.

In fact, Zhu Jun didn't have to die.

Although he was also badly wounded in battle, even such injuries were enough to hurt the vitality of an old and exhausted man. But if he can choose to withdraw in time to recuperate when the enemy's offensive weakens, there may be a good chance of picking up that old life, but this stubborn old general is not willing to leave the front line, obviously he is worried that his departure will have a negative impact on his subordinates, releasing a wrong signal, so that the soldiers who were originally fighting to the death appear cowardly.

So when the battle was over, the old general finally drained all his energy, even if his HP did not reach 0, but after the old general who had just relaxed his spirit fell down due to exhaustion, he was never able to stand up.

If Zhu Jun's death was due to being too badly wounded, then the death of old civil officials such as Yan Zhong and Zhao Qi was completely the result of overexhaustion and even overdrawing their own life force—in order to be able to take care of more of their own soldiers with the strategy they released, and to be able to hit more enemies with the strategy they released, these old civil officials used a lot of techniques that would overdraw their vitality and mental power with young people. Perhaps such a move for young people will put them in a pretty bad state for the next month at best, but as long as they are properly recuperated, they will not leave too many sequelae, and for these rich people in time, they have enough capital to do a proper squandering. But if a poor man still squanders like this......

For these old people who fell down with a smile, all the living could only silently bid farewell to them on their last journey in addition to offering their highest respect.

And it is gratifying to know that these old people who have passed away do not need to worry that their departure will shake the foundation of the defenders of Chang'an City, and the young people have grown up gratifying after the baptism of war, and they will bear the legacy left by the older generation. Continue to guard the home behind them, and continue to fight and fight for the world of the living.

Therefore, these old people can completely stare at each other with a smile of relief.

As for the murderer of Huangfu Song, there are many surviving veterans who were once members of the Xiliang Army and pointed out that the clay puppet looks six or seven points similar to the "Prime Minister" who was in power back then. It's just that compared with the bloated, violent and old "Xiangguo-sama" in his original memory, the attacker is not only younger, but also only sturdy at best.

Only the height is the same as back then, and the rest is only the shadow of the year.

As for the older memories of the big man, in this era when there is no real image technology, it is not easy to rely on the memories of the old man to determine what is true, although the death of that person has not yet reached ten years, but people have long been indifferent to the memory of those people of that era.

People are forgetful creatures. It is also a creature that prefers to look forward, and since the life of the new era has not only not declined but has been much looser due to various new measures, compared to indulging in the past, why should it be remembered that time is already destined to be irretrievable? With that effort, it is better to do more work and contribute to the life of yourself and your family.

As a result, the pain was gradually forgotten, and the beliefs of the past also disappeared with the wind. People looked at their families who were safe and sound, holding copper coins and food that had just been moved out of the treasury as rewards. His face was full of satisfied smiles.

As for that person and that era?

In addition to sending boundless curses, it probably has nothing to do with them anymore.

After all, it was just a loser in the political struggle.

And why does that person have to get along with the old man Huangfu Song, who is worthy of everyone's respect, for the current people of Chang'an City, they would rather believe that it is just human nature, and that person is a bad person by nature. From head to toe.

Of course, there may be some people who have some different opinions, such as Jia Xu, who is talking about this matter in the camp:

Dong Zhongying may be helping the lord, but he doesn't have to, because he did what he could do and the lord couldn't do, but even if the lord didn't want to do it, he had to do it. And should I say that it is worthy of Dong Zhongying, the effect is so good, even I am ashamed of myself. ”

"Wen He, do you think Dong Zhuo is really doing this for the lord?" Guo Jia, who was beside Jia Xu, had an intriguing smile on his face.

"Do we need to know about this kind of thing?"

"It's just that what does the Lord Guild think?"

"The lord is naturally still the good lord who respects talents and strives to maintain the peaceful unification of the Han Dynasty. The lord only needs to do what he needs to do well, and as for other things he can't do, it's not good to always be preempted. ”

"Wen He, aren't you afraid that the Lord Guild will know?"

"Now that we've been on this path, something is bound to happen. And those of us who want him to embark on this path must also be prepared to undertake some changes. Even if many people resist this change, people can't always live in dreams, can they? ”

"It's really what Wen and you can say. Personally, though, I agree with you. ”

"Then don't grind, it's not difficult to guess what choice the enemy will make after being frustrated under Chang'an City."

"Is this still a guesswork, it's clear that the enemy has already made a move before."

"That's right."

As Guo Jia said, in fact, the enemy did not lose his enterprising spirit because of the setback of the siege of Chang'an City, and even in a certain way, the enemy's offensive appearance was even greater than before.

"Is it already decided?"

"Hmm~That's right~! Although their movements really don't match their weight, it's not too easy for our little wolves to find them in the dark~ Don't think that the night will become their world, the little wolves don't agree~"

"Yuzi-chan, what about the results of your investigation over there?"

"Almost, if you hadn't actually noticed their movements, it would have been hard to imagine that these cunning guys had run so far."

Su Xiaololi had a rare look of chagrin, of course, if it weren't for Miss Luohe next to her fanning the flames, Li Shushi believed that Su Xiaololi would not have shown such a sullen expression, after all, if it weren't for her "old enemy" reminder, she almost missed the enemy's movements or something, even if Li Shushi didn't say anything. Su Xiaololi is actually very serious about the things she cares about, and people will blame themselves.

But in fact, this can't be completely blamed on Su Xiaololi, after all, although the birds trained by her subordinates are all kinds of unscientific, but after a day of high-intensity reconnaissance missions, they always have to return to the nest at night to rest, even if they forcibly order those poor birds to rise into the air, in fact, the result will not be much better than now, but it is the elusive and intelligent timberwolves of Miss Rohe who are most suitable for this kind of night reconnaissance. Even the best hunters on the steppe can't really avoid their detection, let alone the clay puppets who don't look like good hunters except for the secret methods that make them light as swallows without knowing what the principles are.

Although the new moves of the puppeteer corps were detected, and the news was learned before the plan of the puppeteer corps hurt the Bingzhou army, which would undoubtedly put the Bingzhou army in a more advantageous position in the next battle, but Li Shushi still had to admire the enemy's boldness, in fact, if it weren't for the two major reconnaissance methods of the Bingzhou army, I am afraid that the puppeteer corps would have achieved their goal, and the Bingzhou army would also face the danger of being cut.

"There has been reliable information that the clay puppets across from us have a new operation."

For Li Shushi's opening remarks. None of the Wenchen generals present raised any objections, or many of them actually knew that Li Shushi had a very unscientific exploration method in his hands, even if one day Li Shushi told these people that he actually had a subordinate named Druid, who was good at communicating with various plants or something, everyone would not be too surprised, and even asked Li Shushi about the other party's family status with very gossipy eyes.

Well, especially those who have boys in the family, are thinking about how to increase the security coefficient for the continuation of their offspring.

Well, a little off topic.

"Here. It is the general direction where the enemy is hiding now, and judging from the trajectory of their movement......" Li Shushi's hand slowly crossed the sand table. A clear trace was left in the sky above the sand table, and the end of this trace, "It should be here!" ”

It's very handsome, very handsome, super handsome!

Although it is really not like what a coach should do in this situation, it is really not like what a coach should do, but considering that there are very few opportunities to be able to show his "wise and martial" side in front of the elite or even the super elite who belong to this era in any way. It makes people itch more and more for such a rare opportunity.

So when necessary, there is nothing bad about a man playing cool or something, and it's not a drop in discipline, hum!

It's a pity that everyone who has long been familiar with Li Shushi's temperament completely ignored his actions, and discussed it on their own, and a gust of wind blew from nowhere. The white powder in the tent was slowly blown away, and finally disappeared without a trace, but people vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a humanoid figure in that place before.

Ahem, the military situation is important, so I won't worry about these bastards for now, but don't think that's it, there are stacks of small books here, which all record the black history of you bastards, hum, the historians must like this thing very much.

Whether or not a particular place in someone's tent will cause a fire tonight is not something we need to discuss here, but judging from someone's wailing the next day, perhaps something did happen.

Of course, we are also not interested in knowing what happened the next day, so let's go back to the shore.

"Martial arts? Could it be that he is planning to attack General Xu, it seems that it is really possible. ”

"If it is true with common sense, but if you want to be surprised, it is more effective to attack General Gao."

"But once you attack General Gao, whether it is General Xu or our army, you can react at the first time...... Unless the other party has another plan, such a choice can only be self-defeating. ”

Everyone is arguing, no one takes into account Li Shushi's expression, this situation is not uncommon, Li Shushi will not take the initiative to interfere too much in their discussion except for occasionally asking some questions, after all, Li Shushi in addition to some novel ideas, in fact, in terms of military experience, he is not much better than these people, whether it is Xiaoqiang, Zhao Yun's battlefield smell, or frustration, Fa Zheng's battlefield insight, Li Shushi feels that he is far from them after secretly comparing. In that case, why would he abandon these experts and do some thankless work on his own.

It's just that today is indeed a little different, so even Li Shushi had to interject when they were discussing Zhenghuan:

"I don't know if you've ever thought about a question."

Li Shushi would never admit that the expression on his face at this time looked a little weird. However, this expression as if the villain is doing something bad not only does not arouse the surroundings, but these are also not good birds (even if it is a certain saint. Zilong-chan also used to be a naughty child who went up to the tree to dig birds' eggs and go into the water to catch river fish), but it made the bad members led by Xiaoqiang excited.

Although Li Shushi is often overlooked when discussing tactics, please also remember that Li Shushi is the boss of this group of bad gangs, so it has always been the boss's responsibility to set goals.

"Maybe our enemies are strong enough, but wouldn't it be better for us to be able to see their actions before they even carried out their plans?"

At this moment, all the faces of everyone in the camp showed a wilted smile.

Yes, the Puppeteers are indeed the strongest enemy that the Bingzhou Army has encountered so far, but they are also the most numerous. Strong. Target. Yes! (To be continued......)
