The barbarians withdrew.

They took tens of thousands of lives.

Brought countless weepings and dead bodies.

Cleaning up the battlefield is naturally the heaviest part of this battle.

There are barbarians and there are Zhou people.

They were enemies, but when they went to the battlefield to identify the corpses, their movements were incomparably harmonious.

No one said a word.

Yin Shanhe's body was taken away by Yue Zhanmei.

Many of the corpses on the battlefield were already blurred with flesh and blood, making it difficult to distinguish.

So they dug a huge pit on the spot and buried the bodies.

It's a huge undertaking, but the good thing is that they should have time.

......

......

This is not the first time Zhou Tu has come to Li Fengliang's home.

But this was the first time he had heard Mrs. Li speak.

Li Fengliang stood at the door and did not enter the house.

He wants to say hello, and he asks for good morning.

Old Madam Li's voice came from the room, sounding like she didn't have any feelings, but she looked a little tired at this time.

Li Fengliang said respectfully, "My son is back." ”

Old Madam Li's tired voice came out, "Have you ever been injured?"

Li Fengliang replied, "It's a little hurt." ”

Old Madam Li taught, "How can you not know that you take care of yourself when you are such a big person?"

Li Fengliang lowered his head and said, "Mother taught me a lesson." ”

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Zhou Tu is here too." He's the ......."

He paused, then said, "He's a stable." ”

Old Madam Li's voice was slightly mocking, and she said, "The emperor can also be a stableman this year?"

Li Fengliang and Zhou Tu bowed their heads and were silent.

Old Madam Li said again, "Since you are a guest, go and accompany the guest, your mother is fine here for the time being." ”

Li Fengliang lowered his head, and then said, "Yes." ”

He turned around to retreat, and Old Madam Li's voice came out again:

"There is white porridge in the pot in the Westinghouse, pickles in the jar on the left, and steamed buns with meat on the pot, be careful when eating, don't eat seafood without worrying about hunger......"

......

......

Zhou Tu looked at Li Fengliang, took out a bowl of white porridge and put it in front of him.

He was a little puzzled.

"You are obviously a great general, why do you live such a shabby life, and you don't even have a servant at home?"

Li Fengliang replied, "Mother doesn't like it. ”

Zhou Tu was a little stunned, he shook his head and said, "Ling Tang is really a strange person. ”

Li Fengliang said, "I never think she is strange, she has asked me like this since I was a child, but now some habits may have been retained, so I can't change them." ”

Zhou Tu took a bite of porridge.

This porridge was just ordinary porridge, but it suddenly reminded him of a person.

On the day of Jian Yuan's departure, he also drank a bowl of such hot porridge with a person.

Like that day, he held the porridge bowl in his hand and said, "Good porridge." ”

There was silence between the two of them for a long time, and then Zhou Tu suddenly asked, "What are you going to do?"

Li Fengliang was puzzled and asked, "What should I do?"

Zhou Tu frowned and said, "You know, you resisted the order, although you guarded the Ma Wei Pass, but the news of Zhou Tu here is already known to the world, and it won't be long before Zhou Xing will give you an order to hand me over, and he won't let me go." ”

Li Fengliang didn't answer, he just concentrated on drinking the bowl of hot porridge in his hand.

It seems that what Zhou Tu said is not as important as the bowl of porridge in his hand.

Zhou Tu asked a few times one after another, but Li Fengliang did not answer.

Zhou Tu was angry, "You cheered me up, but I didn't say a word." ”

Li Fengliang took another sip of porridge and asked, "What do you want me to say, or what is there to say?"

Zhou Tu's eyes dimmed, "Zhou Xing won't let me go." ”

Li Fengliang replied lightly, "Hmm." ”

He looked at Li Fengliang seriously and asked, "When the time comes, what will you choose between me and you?"

Li Fengliang put down his chopsticks.

He calmly looked into Zhou Tu's eyes and replied, "Don't you realize it? ”

Zhou Tu was stunned, and Li Fengliang continued, "Yin Shanhe died in order to save you, it was his choice. You are willing to die for the people of the Great Zhou, this is your choice. Therefore, your life and death are naturally not up to me. ”

Zhou Tu asked, "Who should choose that?"

Li Fengliang looked at him and said seriously, "It's the people of Ma Weiguan." ”

......

......

The city is back to normal today.

The people were calm and happy, but none of them said anything about yesterday's events.

The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed.

The time for reunion has passed.

The recruiting offices in the city were packed.

Most people want to be soldiers.

In this Mawei City, somehow there was a sudden craze for becoming a soldier.

When Zhou Tu and Li Fengliang finished drinking this bowl of porridge.

A guard nervously ran in.

Li Fengliang hadn't washed his face yet, so he and Zhou Tu still had blood scabs on their faces.

They are immersed in a wonderful feeling.

Li Fengliang frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

The colonel said, "There are too many people in the city who want to come and serve as soldiers. ”

Li Fengliang smiled, "This is a good thing. ”

He turned his head to look at Zhou Tu and said, "Look, your death still has some effect. ”

He put down his chopsticks and said, "Let's go." ”

The two walked out of the courtyard and onto the long street outside.

There are many people on the street, and there is also the morning sun.

Many people looked at Zhou Tu, and many people looked at Li Fengliang.

They all knew that this stableman was actually the emperor of the Great Zhou, but they had never seen what the real emperor looked like.

Zhou Tu was looked at a little unnaturally by these people.

He lowered his head and asked Li Fengliang softly, "I didn't wash my face." ”

Li Fengliang looked at the bloody scab on his face and said with a smile, Maybe they like you like this.

Zhou Tu said again, "You didn't wash your face either." ”

Li Fengliang said lightly, "I don't care. ”

The cheers of the people resounded in the city, and Zhou Tu had seen many scenes bigger than this. But there has never been a scene that can give him such a feeling.

He protected the people of the city, and they thanked him from the bottom of their hearts.

There were cheers on the road, and with him, he suddenly felt very rich.

Li Fengliang asked, "Now you understand?"

Zhou Tu smiled, "I see." ”

"They probably didn't want me to die. ”

......

......

The two of them walked to the recruiting office, and there were indeed a lot of people here.

People looked at these two people as if they had seen a fairy.

They knew that it was these two people who saved Ma Weiguan.

They saved the city from the flames of war.

Li Fengliang's face had a bloody scab, and Zhou Tu's face also had a bloody scab.

But in the hearts of all the people, they are the most beautiful.

......

A woodcutter and a scholar stood in the middle of the crowd.

They are somewhat conspicuous.

They are obviously not from Ma Weiguan.

They may just be passing by.

A common man looked at the woodcutter and boasted, "After a while, General Li Fengliang will come, I heard that he is a good man, if you want to be a soldier, go and talk to him more ......."

As he was talking, Li Fengliang had arrived.

People look forward to it, look at it.

......

However, Li Fengliang's gaze suddenly fell on the woodcutter.

He remembered that Luo Ning had told him that someone was also a woodcutter.

He quietly looked at the three vegetables and a firewood knife that the man was carrying behind the firewood burden he carried, and then thought thoughtfully.

He lowered his head and said in his heart that it wouldn't be such a coincidence, right?

He walked over, patted the woodcutter on the shoulder, and asked,

"Are you a soldier?"
