318 The soul returns, protect my rivers and mountains
Looking at the expectant eyes of the people in front of him, Xiong Wuliang's face darkened.
Grandma drops, labor and management have already baked more than 100 skewers before and after! We are not professional barbecue masters, and our hands are tired and numb...... Why don't you have enough to eat!
To say that although Xiao Hei is not very old, it is the time to grow his body, and the amount of food is amazing.
Although Zhao Hua is a literati, he also has a rare big belly.
As for Zhong Hua and Wu Ben, not to mention - they are all big-bellied soldiers, and when it comes to the amount of food, they can beat the three of ordinary people.
If you feed these goods, Xiong Wuliang's hands will be smoking!
Looking at the expectant gazes of several henchmen in front of him, Xiong Wuliang still sighed, and said with a dark face: "Finally, bake thirty more skewers, and don't take it as an example." ”
Zhong Hua, Shaohu and Xiao Hei were all happy, and although Zhao Hua was a little reserved, he also smiled.
It's a familiar process again – roasting, salting......
It was about to be baked, but I heard footsteps outside...... Wu Ben came in, was stunned at first, and then said with a smile: "Junhou, what a pleasure!" ”
Xiong Wuliang looked up and smiled unexpectedly: "Wu Ben? What are you doing here. ”
"Come and sit."
Wu Ben ignored the resentful gazes of the other four, sat down with a smile, took the meat skewer in Xiong Wuliang's hand with great insight, and flipped it in the latter's appearance......
Xiong Wuliang stared at Wu Ben with interest: "Why did you suddenly remember Wuguan?" Could it be that Yingdu has news? ”
Wu Ben: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from the prince - the king has an order, and he will take over the defense of Wuguan from the end of the future." The prince can lead the army at any time. ”
Xiong Wuliang stretched his waist and was relieved.
I've wanted to go back for a long time.
It's so good outside, but it's not as good as your own nest!
To say that the administrative efficiency of this Yingdu is really too slow - they waited until the beginning of spring to send a serious Wuguan guard to replace him.
But it's good – it's getting warmer and the roads are easier to walk on.
Xiong Wuliang got up and smiled: "In this case, the army should immediately pack up, pack up as soon as possible, and return to the court with this Hou class!" ”
Shaohu and the others became serious, and they all brushed their hands: "Obey the orders of the sovereign." ”
Xiong Wuliang's eyes deepened...... Before he left Wuguan, there was one last thing to do.
……
The sky is clear and cloudless – such weather is rare in early spring.
The 7,000 Quyang new army put on a full set of armor inside and outside, held a long ge, a shield, a bow and a crossbow at the waist, and an iron sword, forming a huge phalanx of rectification.
The red and yellow Chu flags are connected like clouds, and because there is no wind, these flags do not flutter.
There was not a hint of a smile on everyone's faces.
In front of the steel phalanx, there is a huge tomb left behind by the First Danyang War - the bones of 80,000 Chu soldiers are buried inside, and there must be many ordinary people of Chu who have been affected.
Zhao Slip came to Xiong Wuliang and whispered, "The time has come." ”
Xiong Wuliang nodded a little heavily, took a step, and walked to the high platform...... Zhong Hua followed closely behind him.
Standing on the high platform and looking down, the seven thousand majestic iron-blooded divisions seemed to form a forest of steel—the fine iron armor reflected the bright light of the sun, a majestic and awe-inspiring scene.
Xiong Wuliang pondered for a moment, as if thinking about what to say...... In the end, he simply said, "Worship the Heroic Spirit!" ”
Out of nowhere, the wizards in red and yellow clothes were found in Zhaoli, and at this moment the wizards were chattering around, muttering some vague spiritualist spells, waving magic weapons in their hands, and shouting frantically.
Normally, Xiong Wuliang was disdainful of this kind of ghostly thing.
But in front of the tomb of the Chu army, the spring breeze is expected to be steep...... It seems to have also made Xiong Wuliang's five senses become trance-like.
Look at the cardinals jumping up and down, as if there is some kind of mysterious rhythmic drum beat.
The high-pitched, sometimes tactful conjuring voice...... At this moment, it sounds inexplicably sad to be able to feel in it.
The 7,000 brave and brave soldiers who had survived the bloody battle waved the Changge in their hands in unison, lifted the Changge high, and then smashed it to the ground in unison—obviously they had not rehearsed such an action beforehand, but at this moment, the 7,000 people did it surprisingly uniformly.
Boom!
Boom!
Seven thousand Changge slammed on the frozen soil of spring, making a deep sound, as if the earth was trembling.
Some of the new sergeants had family members who died in the first Danyang battle with Xiong Wei, and at this moment they were knocking on the ground with Changge, and they burst into tears.
The ancestors of the Chu people were born in the mountains and forests, and they originally believed in ancestors and ghosts. After the First Danyang War, the bones of relatives were brutalized by the Qin people, and the remains could not be returned to their hometowns, which had long become a pain in the hearts of the Chu people.
Now that he has followed the lord to defeat the Qin State and recaptured the land of Danyang, he can finally worship the soldiers and civilians of the Chu State who died and appease their souls.
The wizards performed a mystical dance that ended with an abrupt treble and a sudden fall.
The seven thousand sergeants raised the Changge in their hands in unison and shouted: "The soul is back, bless my countryside." ”
"The soul returns, protect my rivers and mountains!"
……
Looking at the seven thousand sergeants under the high platform, Xiong Wu's conscience was full of emotion.
This is the part he relies on and the elite he has cultivated with all his heart...... In this continuous battle, two or three thousand people fell back and forth.
Distressed! It hurts immensely!
Zhao Hua seemed to see Xiong Wuliang's pity, and chuckled and said: "The lord attacked with elite soldiers and forced Xianyang to bow his head and submit to the soft...... The prestige of the Quyang New Army has spread all over the world. ”
"The sacrificial sergeant can be so famous after his death, and it can be said that he deserves to die!"
Although Shaohu was reckless, he also said honestly: "Don't worry, the lord - the Quyang New Army's compensation for the comrades who died in battle is extremely high, which is enough for their families to have no worries for the rest of their lives." ”
"If a sergeant who died in battle has children, he can also be sent to Quyang Academy to study and serve as an official in the future...... This is a good errand that farmers in the past could not exchange their lives for. ”
……
At the end of the worship ceremony, Xiong Wuliang summoned Wu Ben and ordered: "General Wu Ben, since the king has ordered you to be the general of Wuguan, then Ben Hou has something to entrust to you......"
Although Wu Ben is a burly soldier, he is much smarter than Shaohu's guy, and immediately answered: "Don't worry, the last general understands in his heart!" ”
"This big tomb, the last general will definitely send people to sprinkle and worship every year!"
Xiong Wuliang smiled and nodded.
The bones of the soldiers of the 80,000 Chu State have been piled up together, and now that several years have passed, it is naturally impossible to distinguish them one by one and send them back to their hometowns...... originally thought that after this battle, he would return to Chu with the remains of the soldiers...... But now Danyang has been recovered by Xiong Wuliang, and he is buried in the land of Danyang, which can be regarded as being buried in his homeland.
Let the soldiers rest in this land that they once defended with their lives, and bury them with their comrades in life and death...... If the heroic spirit knows, he should also smile at the nine springs.
A row of soldiers with big shoulders and round waists sweated like rain, and they carried a huge stone monument and stood in front of the huge tomb.
The stonemason used a chisel to carve the two big characters of 'national mourning' little by little.
Xiong Wuliang's eyes narrowed slightly, watching the stonemason wielding his tools and carving the big characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing on the huge stone tablet, and finally sighed softly: "After this is over, it's time to teach the class......
