Many of the soldiers who came back had suffered some humiliating abuse like the pony, so Xu Ao divided the ointment given by Tubo into small portions and sent them to the door one by one.

It's not that Xu Ao is generous, it's just that this ointment Tubo also said that it's okay to repair some small injuries, but if you want to count on him to be reborn with a severed limb, it will have to be close to ten years.

It is better to give it to them, and it can be regarded as atonement for Tubo, a person who claims to be a descendant of the Xuanyuan clan.

Spacious tents, laid bedding, clean clothes, piping hot meals, and enthusiastic comrades. This group of returning warriors enjoyed great honors.

In the evening, at the suggestion of Xu Ao, the world's first bonfire party in Kyushu was founded.

The roast lamb on a wooden stick drips with grease and ignites a puff of sparks from time to time. The crowd, which was still laughing during the day, quieted down in the night of the campfire.

Just silently drank wine, stared at the campfire, and occasionally whispered a few words to three or two fellow villagers.

The atmosphere outside was also contagious to the people inside the tent.

Even the middle reaches of the river, who had been smiling all day, had a smile.

Xu Ao, the organizer, was anxious in his eyes, and originally held this bonfire party to enliven the atmosphere and release everyone's fear for so many days.

But unexpectedly, not only did this group of people not know how to sing and laugh, but they were all suffocating and drinking by the campfire.

Xu Ao raised his wine glass in embarrassment: "That, everyone eats and drinks well, just like in their own home." ”

Everyone just silently picked up their wine glasses and drank them all.

Xu Ao was really a little anxious, the group of people inside couldn't be lively, what else to do outside. It would be a sin to turn an inspirational bonfire into a discouragement party.

At this time, it was General Qin who came out of the horse, only to see this general in plain clothes and cloth robes, simply tied his hair with a strip of cloth, picked up the wine glass and walked to the tent, looking up at the quiet moonlight in the night sky. Softly hummed Qin Di's minor tune.

The crowd was gradually attracted by their main general, and what General Qin sang was not a court song of the four li's six courts, but a folk song that was widely sung. At this beginning, gradually more and more courageous people also began to hum, and in a moment, everyone was already singing along.

The rough men, pulling their throats, only want to turn the homesickness, fear, and depression in their hearts into songs, resounding in this night sky.

Before I knew it, the men inside and outside the tent were already in tears.

Xu Ao clenched his fists tightly, in the years in the riverside village, the old widower hummed this song when he was sick. The old man who was a little lustful and a little slippery didn't know any other songs, the only thing he could do was this folk song he learned from his mother. When the dog baby was sick and there was a lack of medicine at home and the pot could not be opened, the old widower held him, sat on the steps at the door of the house, hummed over and over again, and begged his mother to bless him until the dog fell asleep.

Over the years, the longer I lived in the riverside village, the deeper the memory of the song became. At this moment, I can't help but feel a little nostalgic.

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless. Sometimes, I just don't think I care.

"General, if you continue to sing, I'm afraid that all the soldiers will have no intention of fighting. "Le Niu is a native of Yan State, although the folk song of Qin State is good, but it is difficult to resonate with him, at this moment I see that the Qin army seems to be surrounded by homesickness, I am afraid that if it continues, the army has no intention of fighting, and something will really happen.

General Qin glanced at the weeping men: "Brothers, are you homesick?" Without waiting for everyone to answer, he said to himself: "I want to too." I miss my parents at home, I think about my daughter-in-law who doesn't know where she is, I think about the mountains and rivers of Daqin, and I even want to go back to Xianyang to eat a mouthful of steamed buns. ”

General Qin beckoned to Xu Ao in the tent: "Originally, General Xu meant that the brothers would reunite today and hold a banquet to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the big guys." In the meantime, let me cheer you up. He laughed a little: "What are you cheering up? Let everyone fight bravely to kill the enemy? Needless to say, everyone is doing it." Tell everyone I'm going to take them home? Needless to say, everyone has been working on it. On behalf of the king, praise you for your courage? ”

General Qin paused slightly, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his index finger: "We are in the land of Yan Kingdom, and even many people don't understand why we want to travel thousands of miles to help a country that has been fighting with us for years. I can talk to you today about the heart-to-heart conversation. I didn't understand it either, and even at first I resisted. Because I know that bringing hundreds of thousands of so-called elites to the battlefield who have just finished training but have not experienced a baptism of war is completely sending them to death. ”

There was an uproar around the campfire, and even Xu Ao beside him looked at him in disbelief, not knowing why he said this.

General Qin pressed his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet: "Until I left, the king called me into the palace and said something to me. I realized that we were running out of time. Two thousand years is enough to make the people forget a lot of things, two thousand years ago, when it was still the Shang Dynasty, the extraterritorial heavenly demons descended and almost destroyed the great Shang at that time. The land of Kyushu is devastated. There is not one out of ten people, and the tragic situation at that time will not be long in the future, and it may be our end. Therefore, the king sent out all the trained soldiers in the country to suppress the bandits or defend the city. What to do with the rest of the army, we can only rely on the battlefield to transform everyone. If this time, if you can survive on the battlefield, when you face the Heavenly Demons outside the domain, everyone will have more hope of survival, and you will have more chances to protect your wives and children. With iron and blood, force everyone to grow. ”

"I know that people may have resentment, resentment, and even hatred. I want to ask everyone not to hate, not to complain. If anyone needs to bear this responsibility, it is not the king, nor the captain, but me. ”

There was silence in the huge square, and everyone's eyes flickered like a bonfire.

Why do you want to tell them this, and what's the point of saying this? Could it be that after saying these words, the heroic spirits in Zhaohua City will be able to come back to life? Could it be that after saying these words, the brothers who died along the way will be able to get up again?

General Qin looked at the audience, and suddenly knelt down for everyone without warning: "I implore everyone, try to live." Live for the brothers who died. If you can return to Daqin, help your parents, wives and children when you can, so that they will not be cold and hungry in the cold wind, and they will not die alone in the sorrow of missing their son. Even if it is the invasion of the Heavenly Demons, everyone will also use their chests to hold up a piece of pure land for them!"

For a while, the wind was quiet. Around the campfire, even the breathing can be heard.

It seemed that a long time had passed, and it seemed to be just a moment, and Xu Ao, who had reacted, shouted: "God bless Great Qin!"

Then there were countless shouts: "God bless Great Qin!"

"God bless Great Qin!"
