Wang Xuan sat quietly in the war room, staring at the sand table in a daze, and if you look closely, you will find that his eyes have lost their intersection.

More than 1,100 Dongshan defenders were killed 326 and more than 400 seriously wounded, and the Inner Guard was killed 36 and 16 seriously wounded. Such casualties are nothing compared to the results of the war, and they can be compared to the current population, which is already painful, and hundreds of families and thousands of people have to bear the pain of losing their loved ones.

This kind of pain mascot has never been cut off since it took root, whether it is disease, or beast, or war, they all have one thing in common, everyone who has left has shown their own value, they are all auspicious heroes.

The news of the annihilation of 20,000 enemies from Chiyan in the Dongshan Pass spread to every corner of the auspicious place in the evening, and the Government Council organized 200 young men to support the pass to help clean up the corpses and repair the city wall.

When they entered the pass, they found that their eyes were full of wounded soldiers and corpses, some of whom were Red Flame and some of their own, but the corpses were all Red Flame people in red suits. They had never seen such a scale of more than 10,000, but the slightly smaller one suddenly trembled, and there was no shortage of ridicule from colleagues.

The body of the mascot has long been collected separately, and the rest of the Red Flame people are all items in the eyes of the mascot, and they only need to be carried to the firewood rack and burned.

Five days later, the corpse was disposed of, and the ashes of the Red Flame people were uniformly packed in more than a dozen large jars, and the mascot was one jar per person, marked with a series of information such as name, age, and address. The passage at the head of the city was washed more than ten times before the gray bricks were revealed, and the entire pass was full of white lime powder, and the inexhaustible smell always reminded everyone what kind of tragic war had been experienced here.

On the 23rd of August, another hundred and three of the more than 400 auspicious warriors who were seriously wounded fell to the Red Flames, who withstood the stormy attack of the Red Flames, but could not stop the dull knife of the sick man. Wang Xuan has been waiting by their side, encouraging and supporting them, but why, no ......

The rest of the people showed signs of improvement, and so far, at the cost of 429 casualties, the auspicious people of the Second War of Jichi have achieved the astonishing results of annihilating 18,000 Chiyan and capturing 2,000 people. As soon as the news came out of the merchants, many territories shrank like frosted eggplants, looking like good babies.

The auspiciousness of Wang Xuan's era is no longer the little daughter-in-law who can touch a handful at the beginning, the red flame is cheap, and the result is only seven days, and the hand and foot are broken, and whether the red flame collar can survive is still two words.

On August 25, it was rainy again, and the auxiliary soldiers and two hundred young men supporting the pass were returning to Jixiang City with the ashes of more than 400 martyrs. Hunan East Avenue, West Avenue, and Hexi Avenue were lined with people who spontaneously came to welcome the martyrs home, and those who had family members sacrificed would wrap a white cloth around their left arm, and others would make way for them to accompany these heroic children home.

The convoy grew larger and slower, and the faces of the people could no longer tell whether it was tears or rain or both. Whether it is family members or others, they are very quiet, silently following the convoy and walking step by step, not wanting to disturb the peace of the warriors.

In order to solve the greedy old enemy on the side of the couch, the soldiers no longer treat themselves as human beings, and it is normal for them to stay awake for days and nights, as long as they can eradicate this group of jackals, death will not matter.

The naughty children were also obediently accompanied by the adults silently at the moment, sometimes curiously looking at the carriage full of the ashes, and sometimes turning their heads to look in the direction of Dongshan Pass, as if there was tempting meat there.

Wang Yu and other generals lined up on both sides of Hexi Avenue, quietly waiting for the warriors to go home.

The rain seemed to be getting heavier, and the heavily armed defenders of the embankment were already soaked, and the rain dripped down the sideburns and along the chins onto the toes, looking neatly from the side as if the water was flooding the embankment.

"Salute!"

With a muffled sound of "pop", the defenders of the lake embankment led by Wang Yu moved in unison, and their right hand slammed into their left chest, splashing a splash. The eyes of the people moved with the movement of the carriage, and there was no joy or sorrow, but respect and worship.

The convoy slowly stopped outside the east gate of Jixiang City, and the three sisters of the Wang family and the defenders of Jixiang City had lined up outside the city to greet them, and Wang Bi personally led the horses to pick up the warriors into the city.

Wang Yue and Wang Hua followed, and the left arm of the three was wrapped in a circle of white cloth, and the actions of the Wang woman won the secret admiration of the people. It is true that only such a family is qualified to own this auspicious land, lead the auspicious people, and win the support and love of nearly 200,000 people.

The ashes of the martyrs were temporarily placed in the front yard of the lord's mansion to be worshiped by the lords, and the order was maintained by the daughter of the Wang family.

Zhang Peiyu's left eye was blind, and the Red Flame Man used quicklime, which hit him in his left eye, and the gods couldn't save him. It's funny to wear a black blindfold now, and Yu Bo has laughed at him a lot these days.

Yu Bo's right hand can no longer use the knife, and the index and middle fingers are severed from the second joint, making the chopsticks laborious, and he has been practicing his left hand recently. Whenever Yu Bo ridiculed Zhang Peiyu's 'one-eyed wolf', Zhang Peiyu would fight back against Yu Bazhi, and the two of them were happy to do it, which was also Wang Xuan's only spiritual food in recent days.

He didn't want to go back to Jixiang City, and he didn't want to face more than 400 families who had lost their sons, husbands, fathers, and brothers, who could have survived, but he stubbornly wanted them to die! Wang Xuan understood that intellectually he was doing the right thing, but emotionally he was a butcher, an executioner, and a demon king who killed people without blinking. I thought it would be a long offensive and defensive battle, but who knew that the lord who was full of poop in Chiyan's mind was so arrogant, and his desperate gambling behavior gave the mascot a chance to break the boat, if Wang Xuan was re-elected, he would still be so decisive, Chiyan would not die, and Jixiang was uneasy!

On August 25, nearly 2,000 captives survived and more than 1,800 were taken to Jixiangcheng to await trial. Wang Xuan was very calm along the way, and both sides of the road were still full of auspicious people, and even some merchants from outside the road were mixed in. People are still quiet, but there is more indifference under the calm gaze, their gaze is not like looking at people, but more like looking at an irrelevant object, flat and indifferent. It was precisely this indifference that terrified the captives, and their repeated raids made them know very well what this meant, but they did not dare to reveal the slightest uneasiness.

Wang Yu and the others still lined up in Hexi to greet them, but there was less pain on their faces, more joy, and some worship by the way. The survivors of the accompanying Dongshan Pass defenders are all arrogant, their eyes do not squint, and the funny appearance of the past is now so wide open and closed, informal, majestic and majestic in the eyes of the defenders of the lake embankment, and they have a sense of auspicious pillars, and the envy of the people is not giving up. You must know that during the period of guarding the city, they asked for orders to rush to help several times, but this was not in Wang Xuan's plan.

On August 26, Wang Xuan awarded medals to meritorious soldiers in the lord's mansion.

"Hu Lai, during the defense of the city, he killed five enemy soldiers, and was slightly injured at the head of the city, and won a precious half an hour's rest for the soldiers who defended the city, and awarded a warrior medal and a hundred gold coins. ”

Then, an internal guard stepped forward with a jar of ashes and said, "The subordinate will thank the lord for the reward." ”

After receiving the medal and gold coins, he retreated, and then came second.

Outside the lord's house, there were people with white cloth wrapped around their left arms, old and young, men and women.

As soon as the voice in the house fell, there was an old man who was more than half a hundred years old outside the house and said excitedly: "Hu Lai, it's Hu Lai, my son, it's my son......" Then he fell to the ground and cried bitterly, but he only saw the grief of crying, but no crying came out.

The other people wrapped in white cloth also stepped forward to congratulate: "Brother, your son is good, this is the kind of our mascot." ”

"Yes, brother, my two sons left before me, the younger son is still young, next time I will go to the Lord to go on the expedition on behalf of my youngest son. It's not that we're selfish, this baby will marry a daughter-in-law in two years, how can she give birth to a son and a half daughter, add some incense to our auspiciousness, our old bones don't have this effect, and it's good to go up and block an arrow for young people. The fifty-odd strong man with a strip of white cloth wrapped around his left arm said shyly.

The house is still going on, the voices of mutual praise outside the house are also continuing, and the half-centenarian who was crying before is now comforting others, bluntly saying that his children are a model of auspicious children and an example for young people to learn.

On August 30, a rare good weather, Wang Xuan and the three daughters of the Wang family went out of the house with a group of internal guards with heavy faces, and the many carriages followed behind were particularly conspicuous.

Hexi, Hujia, Liuyin District.

"Uncle Hu, I, I sent your son back to you. ”

Wang Xuan took a lot of effort to say a sentence completely, at this time he had mixed feelings in his heart, holding the white ash altar in both hands, and laboriously handed it to Hu Lai's father Hu Yan, as if the altar was too heavy and overwhelmed.

"The lord of labor has bothered, the man of the Hu family has not given the lord and our auspiciousness a disgrace, right?"

Hu Yan was more frank at this time, and he said it with a big grin, which was not at all like the sensibility in front of the lord's mansion.

Wang Xuan couldn't control it anymore when he heard this, let the tears slide down like a curtain, and gave a thumbs up and said: "Your old son is with you, a real man, he has won glory for our auspiciousness......"

At this point, Wang Xuan couldn't say any more, and the inexplicable sadness welled up in his heart, making him even breathe out of rhythm, this is the person who was taken care of by his grandfather and father, it was really cute and heart-wrenching!

Wang Xuan wanted to send the ashes of more than 400 martyrs home one by one, and the strange thing was that the first thing everyone asked was like Hu Lai's father's nonsense, asking if their children had won glory for Wang Xuan and Ji Xiangling, and there were negative opinions, so they didn't recognize the meaning of this child.

One scene after another, words repeated again and again, Wang Xuan already understood why the first three generations of lords of the Wang clan fled the rats tossed in the treasury.

This is the mascot's requirement for himself, not relying on the sky, not relying on the ground, and doing his best is his greatest reliance.

This is the mascot's requirements for their children, life and death, wealth and prosperity in the sky, dare to fight, and fight for a peaceful and prosperous world.

This is the spirit of the mascot, who would rather die standing than live!
