Chapter 790: Twenty-one Counties of Wu Kingdom

The next day, under Qingji's order, the bodies of all the soldiers killed in the battle of the enemy and our armies were gathered and burned.

The ashes of all the Persians were dug and buried, and the bones of the soldiers killed in the Chinese coalition army were put into the jar and brought back after identifying their identity information, and handed over to the family scroll for proper burial.

The heads of more than 110,000 Persian soldiers are piled up like a mountain of Jingguan, which is displayed on the north bank of Duanshui, in order to deter those Fanbang Waiyi who covet China and Wu State.

As for the more than 100,000 Persian prisoners of war, as well as the temporarily uncountable weight of weapons, they will be divided among the princes.

The one who operates the knife is naturally a celebrity.

In order to play a deterrent role and comfort the deceased at the same time, Qingji also specially ordered people to build an altar on the north bank of Duanshui and on the side of Jingguan, and personally sacrificed to mourn all the dead Chinese coalition soldiers.

"Woo-woo-woo-woo-"

The dull and solemn sound of the trumpet sounded, and the whole wilderness was brightened.

The frost and dew are heavy, and the wind is torn by the clouds.

On the north bank of Duanshui, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Chinese Coalition Army stood there with their heads held high, forming several phalanxes.

For a time, the flag covered the sky, and the spear was like a forest.

The soldiers in each phalanx have different colors of their uniforms and banners.

Standing at the forefront are a large number of Wu soldiers.

Including Yiqumo, Tian Qi, Zihu and other Chinese countries, the ministers and kings of the eight countries of Xirong, as well as the monarchs of the Western Regions, they all stood under the altar at this moment, with solemn expressions and meticulous looks.

When the horn sounded, wearing a dark red crown dress and a flat crown on his head, he pressed the Longyuan sword with one hand, walked down the red carpet, and walked to the altar step by step.

This altar is a temporary structure, not very high, but it also has nineteen levels.

On the altar, incense eucalyptus has already been set up, sacrifices are spread, forty-nine lamps are arranged, flags are raised to summon spirits, and three animals of pig's head, ox head and sheep's head are displayed on the ground.

When Qingji walked up to the altar and knelt on the side of the eucalyptus, the sound of the horn of the entire heavenly dome was loudened before stopping.

On top of the eucalyptus, there are ritual vessels for sacrifice, as well as a ding of soybean (soybean) and green smoke birds.

However, it could not hide the smell of blood and carrion rising to the sky......

Because not far away, there is a Jingguan piled up with the heads of the Persians.

"Kneel!"

With a proclamation, on all sides of the altar, no matter what status the generals, monarchs, ministers or soldiers, all knelt down in unison, with solemn expressions on their faces.

"Ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand years!"

The soldiers belonging to the state of Wu all shouted.

"Fan Li, the official of the memorial ceremony, read the sacrificial text!"

Another announcement, Fan Li was wearing a dark court dress, wearing a ceremonial crown, and holding a vermilion sacrificial text in his hand, solemnly ascended the altar and came to Qingji's side.

After receiving Qingji's instructions, Fan Li opened the sacrificial text and read it aloud according to the contents.

"King Wei celebrates the twenty-first spring of the first month, the twenty-ninth day of the first monthβ€”β€”"

"There is Wu Guojun who celebrates the sacrificial ceremony, and enjoys the martyrdom of the deceased Chinese soldiers and the heroic soul of the deceased: I am a great country, a mighty five hegemons, and the three kings of the Ming Dynasty."

"Yesterday invaded the territory from afar, and the strange people raised troops; The tail of the dragon is used to promote demons, and the wolf is in chaos. ”

"I am commanded by heaven to ask about sins and desolations; Large-scale Pixiu, all the ants; The male army gathered, and the madness disappeared; When I heard the sound of breaking bamboo, it was the momentum of losing the ape. ”

】

"But the soldiers are all Kyushu heroes; The bureaucrats and generals are all heroes from all over the world: practicing martial arts, casting the master, not applying for three orders, and showing a total of seven captures; Qi Jian is sincere to the country and loyal to the will of the king! ”

"When did you lose the opportunity occasionally, and fell into a treacherous plan: or in the place of loss, the soul covers the spring; Or be injured by the sword and spear, and return to the long night: life is brave, death is famous, and now the triumphant song wants to be returned, and the prisoner will be reached. ”

"Thou art and the other heroic spirits are still there, and prayers will be heard: follow me to the flag, chase my tribes, return to the kingdom together, recognize each of them to his hometown, be steamed by flesh and bones, and receive the sacrifices of his family; Don't be a ghost in a foreign land, but a soul in a foreign land......"

A memorial text sprinkled with a sense of sacredness.

The soldiers kneeling on the ground couldn't help but choke, wiping their tears silently, very sad.

Because the soldiers who died in the Western Regions are all their robes, why not have the feeling of the rabbit dying and the fox sad?

Qingji slowly stood up, grabbed a handful of soybeans from Xiaoding, and let them slip from his fingers and fly with the wind.

"If you come together, you will go back together."

"Go home!"

Qingji's long roar also drew a successful end to this war.

Immediately, Qingji put his eyes on the body of the national lieutenant Sun Wu, and said slowly: "Sun Wu." ”

"The minister is here!"

"Order people to erect a stone tablet on the side of Jingguan, and read: Quartet Hulu, whoever dares to offend, will die of his country, destroy his species, and exterminate his seed!"

"No!"

Sun Wu solemnly agreed.

Qingji wants to use this stone tablet to deter the Hulu outside the fortress, the Western Regions is the territory of Wu State, and those who dare to invade will end up extremely miserable.

……

The time entered the twenty-first year of King Qingji of Wu, that is, in 493 BC, the third month of the lunar calendar.

After trekking all the way through the mountains and rivers, Qingji finally returned to Jinling.

However, there are a lot of things waiting for Qingji to be resolved.

According to the usual practice, Qingji held a grand court meeting in the Fengtian Temple, and all ministers and doctors with an official rank of more than 600 stone must participate.

Dazai Jiran was the first to come out and said: "Great King, in the battle of Bashu last year, Ba, Chong, Xiyu, and Ping Si were all destroyed by my Wu country. ”

"The minister thinks that he can place a county in his land and make it the twenty-first county of my Wu country!"

"Good."

Qingji bowed slightly and said: "Zhiba County, Wu Xi will be the county guard of Ba County." ”

"Add Wu Xi as the general of Zhenxi, the title of governor of the capital, command 30,000 troops, stationed in Jiangzhou, and at the same time control the military of Ba County, Nanyang County, and Nan County!"

"The king is wise!"

The ministers all agreed, saying that they had no objections.

However, in their hearts, they are not optimistic about Qingji's entrustment of Gongzixi.

Ba County, Nan County, Nanyang County, the garrisons of these three counties combined, I am afraid that there are no less than 50,000, and this is only a standing army.

If Gongzi Xi has different intentions, supports the army and respects himself, and wants to be self-reliant, it will be difficult for Wu to deal with it at that time.

However, Qingji's deployment is obviously the idea of fighting the Shu Kingdom.

Nowadays, the territory of Wu is vast, and there are many places that need to be garrisoned.

Shu is too far away from the Wu mainland, and if you send troops from Jinling, it will be time-consuming and laborious, not to mention, at least the transfer of grain and straw is definitely a big problem.

For other generals, Qingji can't believe too much in his heart.

Childe Hee is different.

At least Qingji is still alive, Gongzixi will not rebel, and he has no such foundation.
