Chapter Eighty-Five: Pickles!
The Protectorate of the Western Regions.
Unparalleled Marquis.
Gauze hung down in the room, the light was dim, and on the bed lay a pale, skinny woman, who was Lother's wife.
"Wow."
A slightly hurried footsteps walked in from outside, and a pair of Luo Shi's sons and daughters lifted the gauze and walked in, and said with a happy look on their faces: "Mother, my father won a great victory in the grassland, and he killed the Huns Shan Yu, and he is about to return to the Central Plains." ”
Hearing the news, the woman lying on the sickbed slowly breathed a sigh of relief, relieved, and then smiled weakly: "It's good to come back safely, I'm relieved." ”
After saying this, it seemed that a stream of spirit was withdrawn in an instant, she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep, very quiet.
Luo Lan was a little uneasy in her heart, and called softly: "Mother, do you want to reply to your father?" Father may have to go to Chang'an first, and he can send a messenger to bring the letter directly to Chang'an. ”
"Mother?"
Seeing that the woman didn't speak, the brother and sister called softly again, and the shadow of uneasiness in their hearts had completely invaded the entire heart.
She trembled and reached out to feel the woman's breathing, but all she could touch was cold!
"Mother!"
A wail rang out.
……
Under the blue sky, after a short rest and replenishment of a large amount of grain and grass, Luo Shi led the Han army back to the Central Plains.
After marching all the way, when he had just crossed Yinshan, he suddenly felt a pain in his heart, a huge sense of panic came, and an ominous premonition surfaced in his heart.
In front of the northern counties of the Han Dynasty, Luo Shiqiang held back the uneasiness in his heart, led the army into the territory of the Han Dynasty, and the county guard came to welcome the returning army with wine and food.
Then Luo Shi learned that his son had come here from the Western Regions.
"Father."
Luo Lan knelt straight in front of Luo Shi, his face full of grief, Luo Shi sighed in his heart, and asked urgently, "How is the house?" ”
"Father, mother, she died."
"Boom!"
Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Luo Shi was instantly stunned in place, his head was dizzy for a while, and his voice was dry: "Your mother has always been in good health, why did she suddenly die of illness?" ”
Luo Lan said sadly: "The doctor said that my mother's body has long been in deficit, and not long after you left, my mother was seriously ill and bedridden, and she didn't let us tell you until she died." ”
Luo Shi collapsed a little weakly, and then asked, "What did your mother say before she died?" ”
Luo Lan said: "Mother only said that you were safe, and then passed away." ”
Luo Shi thought back to an incident that had happened over the years, and suddenly understood a little, and smiled bitterly.
"Madame, Madame, it's me who I'm sorry for you."
Then he fell down, and Luo Lan rushed forward in horror to hold Luo Shi.
Luo Shi felt that he had entered a void space, where all the pictures of this life flashed one by one.
When he was young, he was held high by his father.
When he showed his military talent, he was chosen by his father as the heir of the Wushuang Marquis, and then he stayed in the Western Regions, and for decades, he has been guarding the border of the Han Dynasty.
He followed the path of his grandfather Luo Zhongkan and his father Luo Wuji, and continued to move forward, not only maintaining the strategic advantages of the Han Dynasty, but also constantly moving the population and changing the population structure of the Western Regions.
Spread faith and culture, with one hand by force and one hand with culture, both at the same time.
The two most fertile lands in the Western Regions, one of the Yishui River Valleys, have basically been completely transformed into the Zhuxia Kingdoms, the old nobles of Wusun have migrated far away, and the Dawan Basin has also been driven into a nail.
In the past few decades, the Western Regions have been stable, and he can be said to have made great contributions, and he has made the greatest achievements by the sons of the Luo family several times.
Then an unexpected person appeared in his memories, Liu Dan.
The appearance of this person changed many things, he supported Luo Shi's Western Regions War, and Dawan and Wusun were all completed with Liu Dan's strong support.
Liu Dan is really good to Luo Shi, "In the next life, you will not be a single husband, I will be loyal to you again." ”
Then there is his wife, a beautiful and virtuous woman, but unfortunately who knows the arrangement of the world?
I didn't expect to come to this point in the end, life and death, and I didn't even see the last side.
Finally, Luo Shipiao saw a majestic palace, where countless statues were located, and he wanted to see it, only to see a white light knocking him out.
"Celestial!"
When he woke up, he felt extremely weak, and there were already people standing around the bed, all staring at him.
What I had just seen in my sleep was still so clear.
"Most of them are awake!"
Seeing that Luo Shi was sober, someone shouted in surprise.
Luo Shi only felt a feeling of weakness coming from all parts of his body, a feeling of drowsiness, thinking of the picture of the heavenly realm he had just seen, he understood that this was his limit, and the ancestor was calling him to leave.
His body has been riddled with holes after years of war, and this attack on the Huns took the lead and did it with all his might, which was completely life-consuming, almost squeezing out his last trace of essence.
Before, he had a normal appearance, and he could even march on horseback, because he wanted to go home with a sigh of relief.
As a result, the home is gone.
And that breath dissipated.
When a person lives with a breath, as soon as his breath is dispersed, he should also be dispersed.
"I'm going to die!"
Luo Shi's face was very calm.
Luo Lan knelt directly on the side of the bed and cried: "Father, why is this happening, he left one after another." ”
Luo Shi felt a little regretful, before he died, he couldn't see his wife and daughter, only his son was here, "I have something to say for my father at the end, let's record it." ”
As soon as he said this, everyone in the room was filled with fear, and no one knew what would become of the Western Regions after Luo Shi's death.
Luo Shi thought for a moment and then said: "Tell Your Majesty, the minister has guarded the Western Regions for decades, because he has gained the trust of the previous emperors and you, he was able to take over the business from his grandfather and father, and after five generations of emperors, he has some achievements now."
If the Western Regions are unstable, it will be difficult for Hexi to be stable, and if Hexi is unstable, Guanzhong will not be stable.
The people and noble officials of the Western Regions and the land west of the river have made great contributions to the country, and this time they should be rewarded for their bloodshed, and the ministers can not return to Chang'an. ”
"Dadu Protector!"
Everyone wept.
……
Most of the Western Regions protected the unequaled marquis, and died of illness on the way back to the Central Plains!
This earth-shattering news shook the entire Chang'an City, and countless people were waiting for Luo Shi's triumph with anticipation, but they didn't expect to usher in this news.
In Changle Palace, Huo Guang and Luo Qing both looked sad, which was like a thunderbolt from the blue for both of them.
Liu Xunmo, the emperor, was holding the news, and his expression was very complicated, and his perception of Luo Shi was too complicated.
has always had a lot of headaches about the handling of Luo Shi, including the reward after this big victory, it is also difficult to choose, but I didn't expect Luo Shi to die directly.
Liu Xun's thoughts were tumbling in his heart, but in the end he calmed down, death is the end of everything, no matter what happened in the past, there is only one thing he has done now He stood up and said loudly: "Gather the ministers and discuss the name of the unequaled marquis, and the posthumous seal will be determined by me." ”
In terms of titles, Luo Shi's title has reached its peak, and the credit of the king is not enough, after all, in the Han Dynasty, Han Wumu is the first military general, and he has not been crowned king after his death, and Luo Shi is naturally even worse.
But Liu Xun still gave Luo Shi the greatest posthumous mourning, "posthumously presented the Great Sima General, plus 1,000 households of the Wushuang Marquis, and gave Jiuxi the second burial as a grace." ”
After his death, the gift was given to the highest, and there was no great general Sima among the living people, and the addition of a thousand households represented the title of Marquis of Wushuang, who could reasonably and legally have more private soldiers, and the two pieces of Jiuxi were extremely heavy graces, and this posthumous seal was the greatest sincerity given by Liu Xun.
As for the nickname, in fact, there is only one word to discuss, because Luo Shi is one of the leaders of the Jingnan heroes, and for this group of Jingnan heroes, the first word in the nickname has been determined, that is, "Eliminate traitors and Jingjing is difficult to say martial arts", which is simply tailor-made for them.
The imperial court secretary finally chose "Xiang" as the nickname for Luo Shi, "open up the land and have virtue to say Xiang", which is to commend Luo Shi for opening up the eastern kingdom of Dawan, and completely destroying the merits of the Wusun country, "the armor has Lao Xiang" This is to commend Luo Shi for decades in his life has not stopped the achievements of the war, "because of the merit of the Xiang", "Weide service far away Xiang" This is to commend Luo Shi thousands of miles of running, the destruction of the Huns so that the Han Tianwei spread far and wide, and the rest of the "Perseverance Kegang Xiang" and "Xiezan Youcheng Xiang" are also quite matched with Luo Shi, A long list of commendations appears on the evaluation paper of the nickname.
After Liu Xun looked at it, he put the seal of the Son of Heaven and the seal of the emperor on it.
This epithet will be presented to the Emperor of the Emperor.
The Great Han Dynasty, the Great Sima, the Great General, the Unparalleled Marquis of Wuxiang!

Zhao Wu Wei Gong, shoulder the second duke, one is called Luo Zhao Gong, is the Luo family heirloom, one is said to be the unequaled marquis, is a high merit reward, so Zhao Gong to the eldest son Sheng, to the marquis to the second son, Wu Xiang Marquis from this.
Wu Xiang is brave, rarely chivalrous, lived between Zhuluo when he was young, has great ambitions, and often says: "The big husband was born between heaven and earth, when he lifted a three-foot sword, he made immortal achievements, how could he be depressed between pen and ink." ”
Zhao Wuwei was different from its majesty, so he gave it a military book, saying: "This ten thousand enemies are skilled." ”
Wu Xiang Chengjue, sitting in the Western Regions, connecting the countries, swallowing Wusun, breaking Dawan, setting a rebellion, Xingjing is difficult, where fifty-three battles, there is a reputation for victory and undefeated.
When the Xiongnu resurged, Kou Luo China, Wu Xiang fought bravely, overcame difficulties, and said the world: "The general should die on the battlefield, and bury his ears with a horse leather shroud, how can he lie on the bed between the evil?" ”
Then with the temple as the banner and the Han army as the banner, with 80 years of blood and tears, driving 4,000 miles of wind and frost, attacking and killing the royal court, the life of the Huns, and ending on a sword.
Alack!
The Mandate of the Huns is extinct, Wu Xiang was devastated, and the horse leather shrouded body became a prophecy, but it was a pity! - "Historical Records: The Family of the Peerless Marquis"
