Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Hall of Martyrs and the Monument to the Heroes

The people around found that Tian Feng and the others did not leave with Zhao Yang, and everyone gradually quieted down.

They all knew that Lord Taishou must have something to announce, and they found that some of the soldiers behind Guan Yu had strips of white cloth wrapped around their waists.

Zhao Yang slowly walked up to the city wall and stood in front of the city gate tower facing the people and officials in the audience.

There was no joy on his face, and there was a faint sadness. Some of you don't understand it, but some people understand everything.

"Dear fathers and elders of the party, in this battle of Jinyang, our party has made a prestige. Moreover, the battle beheaded Liu Bao, the king of the Xiongnu Zuoxian, and his son, the victory was unprecedented, and it belonged to all the people of Shangdang. ”

"Taishou-sama is mighty!"

"Taishou-sama is mighty!"

……

The people were aroused by Zhao Yang's words, shouting and venting loudly. Today is the happiest day for them as Shangdang members.

Zhao Yang raised his hand to signal, and the boiling scene immediately quieted down, looking at the eyes on the city tower that were too serious, the people all sent loyalty and blessings to Zhao Yang in their hearts.

"Although our army won this battle, please don't forget those soldiers who sacrificed, in order to protect the glory of our Han people, bravely fought against aliens to the last drop of blood, they are the loveliest people in the world."

"Woo~"

The people and soldiers were moved to tears by Zhao Yang's words. No one has ever treated them sincerely, and their efforts are often rewarded with very little!

"Where are Tian Feng, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Shiping?"

"Humble duty!"

Zhao Yang suddenly shouted out two names below, Tian Feng, Zhang Shiping and Zhao Yun didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly came out of the crowd, stood in the middle of the road and waited for orders.

"Tian Feng listens to the order, I order you to gather elite stonemasons in the whole party and carve a hundred-meter-high hero monument for me in four days. The style map is ready to be given to you later, and after the carving is completed, it will be placed in the center of the city, and will be admired by thousands of people. ”

"Humble command!"

Tian Feng was deeply moved by Zhao Yang's words, and he knew that the moment the monument was erected, the military soul of the Shangdang Army was also condensed.

"Zhang Shiping listened to the order, I ordered you to build a three-story building twenty miles behind the monument, named the Martyrs' Hall, and the style map has also been prepared for you. As soon as the temple was completed, I was informed that I would have the tablets of the sacrificed soldiers enshrined in it, so that the people could enjoy the incense offerings of the people. ”

"Humble command!"

Zhang Shiping responded loudly, his eyes were a little moist, he was very proud of his original decision, he could meet a benevolent lord in this life, and there were no regrets.

"Zhao Yun listened to the order, I ordered you to personally lead people to choose a piece of feng shui treasure land in Shijingshan in the west, and also build a martyr's cemetery. In the future, all our sacrificed soldiers will be buried there in their coffins. Let our descendants remember that without their contributions, we would not have the party we are now. ”

"Yes! In the end, I will personally lead people to find a piece of feng shui treasure for the brothers and comfort their spirits in heaven. ”

Guan Yu watched Zhao Yang's operations quietly on his horse, and he swore that he had never met a Taishou who respected soldiers like Zhao Yang.

With a wave of his hand, Guan Yu took the lead in turning over and dismounting, and the knights behind him also dismounted. Guan Yu led everyone to kneel on one knee and bowed deeply in the direction of Zhao Yang, the city tower.

Although the soldiers did not speak, the people knew that from now on, the party army was twisted into a rope, and no matter what difficult battlefield it was, no one would be afraid anymore.

"This worship, the spring breeze is proud to meet a bosom friend, and the peach blossoms are also smiling on the altar...... This worship, loyal and courageous, and vows not to part with adversity......"

When Zhao Yu saw this scene, he suddenly remembered a song by Zhao Yang, who used to sing "This Worship" every morning in Zhaojiazhuang.

With Zhao Yu's soft singing, the descendants of Zhaojiazhuang also sang loudly, and the tears in their eyes made the merchants of the surrounding counties tremble.

"Please sacrifice your brothers and lead the way into the city! The soul is coming!! ”

Zhao Yang walked down the city tower and came to the front of the city gate. Bowing and saluting in front of him, and at the same time shouting the number of the heroic soul entering the city, Zhao Yun and the others were stunned for a moment, and then turned around suddenly and bent down to salute.

"Come into the city, brothers who have died! The soul is coming!! ”

"Come into the city, brothers who have died! The soul is coming!! ”

The sound of conjuring spirits sounded in all directions, and the people took the initiative to make way for the heroes, and there was not a single sound at the entire city gate, as if they were afraid of waking up the sleeping heroes.

Out of the army came a group of soldiers dressed in vegetarian clothes and leading a carriage. Two coffins were placed on each carriage, and the procession entered the city in two teams.

The convoy stretched for a long distance, and there were about 2,500 wagons, which made the people sad.

At the gate of the city, the royal flag of King Zuo Xian was paved, and the convoy carried the royal flag into the city, assembled at the designated position, and waited for the next order.

"Long live the party!"

"Long live the Shangdang Army!"

Although the people didn't understand what this long live meant, it didn't prevent them from following Zhao Yang's rhythm, and the entire north gate of Changzhi fell into a scene of chanting long live.

"It's... I didn't expect this Zhao Taishou to be really a hero among people, different! ”

On the carriage that had been following behind the rear of the army, Fan Heng, the head of the Fan family in Jizhou, witnessed all this, and he had to admire Zhao Yang's operation.

Whether it is to buy people's hearts or really from the heart, this matter will definitely spread all over the country, and Zhao Yang's name will also be known by the world.

"Father, I told you a long time ago, Brother Zhao was a hero at that time, you just don't believe it. Hmph~"

A woman's voice came from the carriage, she was Fan Juan.

When Zhao Yang left Jinyang, she was under the protection of the family guards, and after returning to Jizhou, she asked her father to take over the management of the party's family business.

Fan Ying couldn't argue, so she accompanied her to be fooled. I just happened to meet the army back to Changzhi, and I followed all the way, which led to the previous scene.
