Chapter 806: The Death of War (Part II)
The four of them knelt together in front of the body to show their grief. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info At this moment, several people slowly walked down the slope......
Lu Jing was still immersed in the grief of her best friend's death, and did not pay attention to the movements behind her. Xiao Tian was the first to turn back, but saw that it was Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da and others - it seemed that the battle under the mountain had ended, as expected, the two armies were surrounded in the middle of the valley and easily defeated the remnants of Wuliang Tuoduo......
"Hey, General Zhao sacrificed, I deeply pity ......" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhao Zichuan's body covered in sharp blades, bowed his head and sighed.
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's voice, Lu Jing was excited, and resolutely turned her head to look, as if the person standing in front of her was her enemy.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lu Jing's eyes, and an imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. But Lu Jing was different, her emotions were a little out of control, and she even wanted to get up and question - Zhu Yuanzhang's reinforcements were killed so quickly, which means that they saw every move of the Wuliang Tuoduo troops of the "Ghost Gate Cliff", and if they joined forces with Zhao Zichuan's troops, they could be easily wiped out at any time; but Zhu Yuanzhang did not do that, and led the main force to secretly stand still, watching Zhao Zichuan and the Zhao family's army of 1,000 men and horses, fighting in the 20,000 Mengyuan iron cavalry, and finally died tragically......
Thinking of this, Lu Jing gritted her teeth, her eyes were bloody, her fists were clenched, and her breathing was slightly low and rapid - that's right, in her opinion, Zhao Zichuan did die on the battlefield because of the disparity in strength, but at the same time, Zhao Zichuan also died indirectly at Zhu Yuanzhang's hands......
Lu Jing's thoughts, Tang Zhan knew very well on the side, but now that you are the head of the first army, Lu Jing must not make irrational moves because of her grief and impulsiveness...... So, Tang Zhan took the lead in standing up and responded: "Your Majesty ......"
"I have heard about the battle in Bianliang...... Zhu Yuanzhang said on the matter, "The vanguard army crusaded against the city and took Bianliang, which is really indispensable, but it also suffered a lot of casualties in this battle...... However, the task was successfully completed, the strategic place was won, and the first credit still belonged to you. Tonight, in order to celebrate the victory of the war, I will reward the soldiers of the vanguard army in the barracks, and as for the generals in the army who died in the war, I can only sigh for this, and hope that you will mourn and ......change smoothly" After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang also deliberately glanced at Lu Jing, who was in an uncertain mood on the side, with unpredictable eyes.
The siege of the city, the shortage of gunpowder supply, has caused hippies, Murong Fei and other generals to exchange their lives for fighter planes; the "Ghost Gate Cliff" army maneuvered around, watching Zhao Zichuan die on the battlefield, but he was "cold-blooded" and unmoved -- Lu Jing is now eager to rush up and fight with Zhu Yuanzhang to avenge the relatives and friends of the dead vanguard generals. But now that Zhu Yuanzhang is a king, he can't delay the overall situation because of his emotions, Lu Jing endured the pain in his heart like a knife, and finally endured it......
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he led Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and other troops to leave the "Desperate Slope" and prepare to return to the base camp. At this point, the battle of Bianliang is officially over, but the price paid in this is too great......
In front of Bianliang Pass, the main force of Zhu Yuanzhang, who had won the battle and rushed to support, the officers and men of the whole army cheered and were excited. Mengyuan collapsed, the city was liberated, and the people of the whole city welcomed it, and the whole world celebrated for a while.
But among this, only the soldiers of the vanguard army were not interested, all the generals in the army died, the five tiger generals died in battle, and the vitality of the army was greatly damaged, not to mention, the collective of the soldiers was deeply sad and regretful......
Leaving the "Ghost Gate Cliff", with the rescue force and Zhao Zichuan's body, Tang Zhan, Lu Jing, Xiao Tian and Su Jia returned to Bianliang with a sad face......
Outside Bianliang City, there was a cheer, and the people, the army and the people, celebrated the victory of the war together, which was in stark contrast to the decline of the soldiers of the vanguard army. Looking at the corpses and blood pools at the city gate, the smoke in the city was endless, and the fighting and bloodshed of several years ago still lingered in their minds, and everyone couldn't calm down for a long time. But fortunately, Bianliang was taken, and the people of Bianliang were no longer oppressed by the tyranny of Mengyuan, which can be regarded as a small consolation in everyone's hearts......
"Cremate the remains of the Zichuan brothers tonight, and send them back to the Zhao Mansion early tomorrow morning with the ashes of my sister-in-law and eldest brother Zijin......" Lu Jing said sadly, "If Uncle Zhao (Zhao Tianyuan) knows the news, I am afraid that he will also be immersed in the pain of losing his son for a long time...... As for Brother Zibo, I have to find a chance to tell him......"
"Jing'er, I'll go with you tomorrow......" Tang Zhan responded on the side, "After all, I was in Bianliang two years ago, and the Zhao family treated me well, not to mention that Brother Zichuan is one of my best brothers......"
"And don't forget to go to the Xuankong Master of Bianliang Temple......" Lu Jing's eyes were low, and he continued to mention, "Bianliang fights, Zichuan brothers, Nangong brothers, Murong brothers...... The three disciples of Master Xuankong were all killed in battle...... I'm worried that when the time comes to tell my seniors this bad news, with his advanced age, will he be able to bear it......"
"It's okay, I'll find a way to comfort Master Xuankong's ......," Tang Zhan continued to comfort......
Walking to the city gate, except for the enthusiastic people who came from the road, the rest of the soldiers of the vanguard army were almost all cleaning up the corpses and battle damage on the battlefield. Because the soldiers who died in the battle and the people of Bianliang were not related to each other, the scene of grief and forbearance in the eyes of the army, the people did not feel too sad about it, but the liberation of the city, and the people of the whole city were filled with harmony and jubilation.
But it is in the midst of such "cheering and joy" that some people show a sad and sad look......
Before the gate closed, Xiao Tian and Su Jia saw it, and walked slowly to meet them, and pushed the corpses of the "Three Hip-hop Brothers" with a cart - it was Hu Yidi, after the end of the Bianliang War, Hu Yidi found the remains of Haha and Ado in the city, and placed them in a good place together with the remains of the hippies at the city gate.
Xiao Su and the others saw it, and they got off the horse and stepped forward to greet them. Hu Yidi also rarely showed sad eyes, and the cart slowly walked in front of the two, and said in a low tone: "The bodies of their three brothers are all here......
Xiao Tian looked at it and said sadly, "I know...... Tonight, I will bury them well, and they are heroes in the battle of Bianliang......"
Su Jia didn't speak on the side, just closed her eyes and silently prayed for the three dead brothers - thinking of the three brothers in the past, whether they were living or marching, they always caused trouble for themselves, but now seeing the three of them pass away, Su Jia always felt that something was missing in her life, and a little sadness and pain were added to her heart......
"What about Brother Qin Yu?" Xiao Tian continued to ask.
"He is in the city, accompanying Miss Murong ......" Hu Yidi continued, "I saw when I led the troops to patrol the city, General Murong died in battle, as a younger sister, Miss Murong has not recovered until now, and General Qin has been accompanying her...... But don't worry, before you leave, you will explain General Qin's affairs of 'rectifying' the army, and General Qin will take care of it......"
"That's good......" Xiao Tian said lightly, and other than that, he didn't seem to want to say anything more now......
Tang Zhan and Lu Jing also dismounted, preparing to enter the city to review the situation of the army. However, at this moment, in the direction of the city gate, several soldiers escorted a figure wearing battle armor and looking like the leader of the army, and quickly walked towards this side. Tang Zhan and Lu Jing saw it clearly, he was the commander of Bianliang, and Wang Gubu was in Taiwan......
"General, military advisor—" The soldier greeted them politely as he walked up to them.
Wang Gubu Zatai was escorted by soldiers, unable to move, it seems that the city fell, and was finally caught by the vanguard soldiers who entered the city...... When Wang Gubu saw the "old acquaintance", he smiled softly, and said slowly with a bleak look: "Yo, isn't this the eldest lady of the Lu family? Now she has become a military general under Zhu Yuanzhang...... Hmph, I really didn't expect that you, the yellow-haired girl who was 'cynical' in the city back then, can now lead an army and capture the city guarded by this king......"
Lu Jing looked at Wang Gubu Zatai with a look of disobedience, thinking of the death of relatives and friends in this battle, and couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in her heart. The more she looked at it, the more chaotic she became, Lu Jing gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and raised her hand to hit Wang Gubu Zatai's face.
"Jing'er-" "Jingmei-" Tang Zhan, Xiao Tian and the others saw it on the side, and immediately stopped it.
However, halfway through the fist, Lu Jing stopped again......
"Whew...... ...... whew" Lu Jing glared angrily, gasped a few times with resentment in her heart, and finally restrained her uncalmness, and her waving fist stopped in mid-air.
Wang Gubu Zatai saw it in his eyes, Lu Jing's woman's face, full of grief, remembering the "eccentric" daughter of the Lu family in his memory, Wang Gubu Zatai finally retracted the "uninhibited", smiled slightly: "Okay, it is better to fall into the hands of your Miss Lu family than in the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang, I admit it...... The war is over, and the suffering of the people is over, take the time to go home and take a look, your father and mother have missed you a lot in the past two years......"
"Take away-" Lu Jing didn't say much, just said coldly to his soldiers, but remembering his father and mother who were worried at home, and the night of the surrender negotiation, Zuo Junbi said the same thing to himself, before leaving, Lu Jing still said softly to Wang Gubu, "Thank you, Lord Duwei......"
Wang Gubu listened to it, smiled slowly, and was finally escorted away by the soldiers......
The battle of Bianliang came to an end, and the war was in vain, leaving sorrow and misery......
At night, Zhu Yuanzhang's barracks ......
In order to celebrate the victory of the Battle of Bianliang, Zhu Yuanzhang held a banquet in the camp, and the whole army was jubilant, and invited Tang Zhan, Lu Jing and Xiao Tian in the vanguard army to the banquet to celebrate their achievements.
However, it is clear that the three of them are not as happy and excited as the rest of the soldiers, and their hearts are filled with sadness over the death of their brothers and friends. Especially Lu Jing, knowing the truth that Zhu Yuanzhang "didn't save him when he saw death" and even deliberately "made things difficult", Lu Jing showed a look of extreme disgust. But in front of the king, she still had to bow her head to accompany her, and Lu Jing still tried to restrain her feelings......
"Come, in order to celebrate the victory of the Battle of Bianliang, all the soldiers and soldiers, do it-" Zhu Yuanzhang was straightforward and heroic, sitting in the camp, raising his wine glass and taking the lead in drinking.
"Dry-" Below the camp, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and other generals responded in unison.
Only Tang Zhan, Lu Jing and Xiao Tian didn't speak, they just raised their wine glasses in a dull manner, and their expressions were very sad, and they were not interested at all......
After the banquet, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Tang Zhan and the others in his eyes, and then "comforted" and said: "In the battle of Bianliang, you and other achievements are indispensable, and General Xiao Tianxiao, the 'Pingwei General', personally killed the enemy's main general Wang Dasheng, and his achievements are numerous, and I will have a big reward...... However, seeing that the army suffered heavy losses in this battle, and the officers and men in the army suffered countless casualties, I allowed all the soldiers of the Ru army to mourn for three days as a memorial - "When announcing the meritorious service, Zhu Yuanzhang also specially praised Xiao Tian, whom he admired the most.
However, Xiao Tian was unmoved, and after Ying and Zhu Yuanzhang's reward, he looked at the wine in the cup with a sad face, and his heart was uncertain for a long time.
And after listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's "folding general", Lu Jing was even more angry, and couldn't help clenching her fists with resentment.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw Lu Jing's demeanor, as if he did it on purpose, and smiled slightly, which was intriguing......
"Your Majesty-" In the middle of the wine, Xu Da suddenly got up and said, "The battle of Bianliang is over, and the people in the city are also cheering, but it is not only the vanguard military headquarters of General Chang Yuchun who has suffered heavy losses in this battle, but the streets and alleys in the city have also been poisoned by the flames of war...... What do you say about Bianliang, after all, it is also a prosperous big city, and if it is 'burned' because of the war, it will obviously outweigh the losses...... Your Majesty, before the next army goes on an expedition, it is necessary to appease the people and repair the damage in the city—"
"What Marshal Xu said is very true-" Zhu Yuanzhang heard it and said with a smile, "Since this is the case, this matter will be left to General Tang Zhan and General Xiao Tian...... It just so happened that the vanguard army suffered a lot of losses in this battle, and it had to rest for a long time, and it was extremely wonderful to build the city for the people......"
"The last general obeys—" Tang Zhan and Xiao Tian replied in unison.
Lu Jing didn't speak on the side, her heart was full of "hostility" to Zhu Yuanzhang, Lu Jing was just drinking silently on the side......
After the light banquet, the three of them left the main camp and returned to the vanguard barracks......
Tongguan border, Mengyuan position......
"My lord, there is a battle ahead, before General Wuliang Tuoduo died in battle, Bianliang was lost......" In the secret camp, a Mengyuan soldier reported.
"That's it......" The person sitting in the camp is the famous general of Mengyuan Kuankou Timur, hearing the news of the defeat of the war, Kuankou Timur's face said coldly, "Bianliang finally lost, but I didn't expect that General Wuliang was also killed in battle...... Hmph, but it's not necessarily all bad, Wuliang Todo died and martyred, and he should live up to the prestige of his ancestor General Ashu......"
"My lord, Bianliang has been defeated, and the enemy's next target is ...... Where could it be?" asked the soldier.
"Bianliang is lost, I'm afraid Zhu Yuanzhang's next target will be Luoyang ......" Timur mentioned it, and then asked, "By the way, Luoyang should have also received news of the war, who are the generals stationed there now?"
The soldier responded: "Lord Hui, it is the Duke of Lu Guo and the ...... of the imperial court and ......" Speaking of the back, the soldier actually vomited a little.
"With whom?" asked Timur with a hurry.
"And ......," the soldier seemed to be a little embarrassed to speak, and said with trembling words, "and the cause...... General Taki Timur ......"
It turned out that the other person was actually Timur's younger brother Tamur, no wonder the soldier was a little trembling when he said it.
"Oh, it's my younger brother...... "Kuokuo Timur listened to it, and said with a cold smile, "Hmph, when I was in Jinan, Shandong, I was defeated by Qin Yu and fled back to Henan in a hurry...... However, in my opinion, if Bianliang cannot be defended, this Luoyang will fall sooner or later, and if they really want to stop them, I am afraid that they will have to be the troops of General Ben in the Tongguan area...... You say yes, General Tong?" said Timur as he spoke, turning his tone towards another spear-wielding and powerful general beside him.
"What the Lord said is extremely true-" The general replied, and said in a resolute tone, "The last general, Tong Chen, will live up to the expectations of Lord Timur, lead the troops to Tongguan, and work with General Chen Shijin Chen to block the enemy army!"
It turned out that this person was one of the "Three Great Masters of the Western Regions", Tong Chen, the successor of the Tong family gun,...... (To be continued.) )
