The war in Jiangdu ended, and the people went out to look for their sons. On the city wall, corpses piled up like mountains. It was dark and it was impossible to tell who the dead were.
Bending over the pile of corpses and calling,
"My son, my son"
While searching, I called out, but in the vast sea of people, no one responded. The old woman was unwilling to give in and kept searching for the crowd. As time passed, her heart became sad and her hope became smaller and smaller. She did not believe that her son had died in the war, and she did not want to believe that her son had died in the war.
From a distance, I saw several torches swarming towards me from the south. The city gate opened and I walked along the city wall. The corpses were piled up as densely as fish scales at the foot of the city wall. The old man and the old woman tripped over the corpses several times and fell on the pile of corpses in contact with the corpses. Those who had found the corpses carried their sons home on their backs.
An old woman found her son and cried bitterly.
"Son, if you leave, how will my mother live?"
The sound lasted until late at night, sad and miserable
Smell the sadness, hear the tears,
My wife finally let go after a lot of persuasion, and the two of them carried their son home.
"You bring people to help and take care of the elderly and their families."
Late at night, every house burns paper to worship in front of their door. The light is like electricity, the cry is like a landslide, and the sad wind howls, making people tremble. The red sun is pale and has no light.
When people are sleepless, the general's frown becomes white, and his husband bursts into tears. Father and brother are no longer around.
Zeguo Jiangshan entered the war map, how could the people live in peace and happiness in Qiaosu? Don't talk about the matter of making a marquis. One general will make thousands of bones wither. Nangong Wentian, is this what you want?
Baili Kuangsha marched westward in Chaoxian County and met Nanguo Wentian.
Kuangsha Baili paid a visit to the Zhu Kingdom. He was guilty of losing his troops and failing to capture Jiangdu. He asked the general to punish him.
It’s shameful that as a general of the Southern Kingdom, an army of 100,000 was defeated by 50,000 to 60,000 enemy troops, and the leader was still a young boy.
The last general was convicted, but Ximen Chuyue, who was guarding Yang Zhong, neglected his duty and drank and had fun in the army all day long. As a result, the baggage was robbed and the city gate was broken. He took the warship and fled back to the south bank regardless of whether the soldiers were alive or dead, making The morale of the army was disorganized. Although I had a large army, I had no siege equipment and could not break through the high-walled Jiangdu City. There was no boat to cross the river, so I had to ask the general for help.
Bastard, otherwise I have to kill him because he is my brother-in-law. Tomorrow I will lead the army to attack Hefei. You will lead the army to guard Hengjiang and the two supply depots in Chao County.
"General, we are not retreating"
To retreat, we mobilized an army of 250,000 people, but gained nothing. We have already lost our troops and generals. If we just go back like this, how can I, Annan Guozhu, Nangong Wentian, have the face to meet His Majesty and the people of Annan?
"Twenty-five troops, don't we only have 200,000 people?"
"I have ordered General Sun Du to leave Jiangxia and attack Jingzhou. It was originally a three-pronged attack. Now I can only hope that he will gain something."
"The last general deserves to die for his failure to make meritorious deeds."
"Okay, you stay here, I have asked Huang Yuan to go back and deliver reinforcements, you can respond here."
"Follow your orders"
"Yang Yanting, let's go meet the Southern prisoners"
"The Crown Prince wants the Southern prisoners to dress up as Southern soldiers."
"I hope the southern soldiers can be used by me"
Arriving at the city wall of Jiangdu, all Annan prisoners were brought here. There were nearly 20,000 people. The clear sky and scorching sunshine did not eliminate the soldiers' sense of loss. They seemed to be abandoned by the world and had no hope of survival. , the whole figure is like a walking zombie,
"I see you are in a bad mood. Why, my soldiers bullied you?"
"No"
"I know your feelings and your worries. Don't worry, I will let you go. But have you ever thought about what Ximen Chuyue and Baili Kuangsha will do to you if you go back like this?"
"Yes, General Ximen is cruel, and Baili Kuangsha is strict in running the army. If we go back like this, we will be punished with a serious crime."
"I know everyone hates war, and I hate battlefields too. In every battle, countless familiar faces disappear before our eyes forever. Relatives and friends will never come back. Your parents, wives and children are waiting for you to go home, but Those in power only think about their own throne and great achievements.”
One battle resulted in the destruction of thousands of people. My mother was filled with emotion when she heard the news. She pitied the thousands of piles of bones under the city. She had no face to tell who my son was.
"I, Xu Hanwen, will definitely end this endless dispute and save the people from the suffering of war. Then the world will be the same as it was in fifty years. You and I are the same people, and there will be no more wars in the world. I hope that after you go back, you will not worry about this kind of futility. You will lose your life in this meaningless war. When I lead the army to dominate the world, you should not join the war. Keep your lives and spend time with your family. Don’t resist. As long as you put down your weapons, I will let you go home and reunite with your family."
"Really let's go home,"
"Of course, if you have a long-term vision, you can join my army, Xu Hanwen. Within ten years, when I unify the nine states and the four seas, you will be a meritorious official. I will let you return to your hometown with honor and live a rich life."
"I heard that in the army led by the Crown Prince, the officers treat the soldiers like brothers, and the soldiers are as close to each other as a family. The soldiers love the people like parents. The generals of Annan Kingdom treat us like grass and grass, and the king treats us like dung. We Why serve such a king?”
"I, Pang Hai, am willing to participate."
"Yes, I, Gu Xichao, am also willing to serve the prince."
"I, Tan Yuan, am also willing to participate..."
In less than an hour, more than 5,800 people participated.
"Sure enough, a benevolent and righteous person wins the hearts of the people and the world."
"Mr. Yang, you take them to the military camp, select new generals among them, and take the rest back and resettle them."
"yes"
In Changle Palace, the third princess is always sighing and looking like she has no master.
"Ziyun, why are you so distracted lately?"
"Maybe it's because of the cold."
"That's not true, Queen Mother. The princess misses His Highness Prince Xu. The princess often sits in front of the window sill and stares at the portrait of the Crown Prince in a daze."
"Ah Die, I see you've become more and more unruly lately."
"Princess slave is wrong. Now don't blame her. She also cares about you. I do know the news about Xu Hanwen."
"real"
"believe or not"
"Good aunt, just tell me" looking at Ziyun's appearance
The young man was wearing armor and dancing with a silver spear in the darkness. The moonlight shrouded his brow, and in his ears he seemed to hear the solemn oath of hundreds of thousands of soldiers yesterday: The people work together, we are where we are, and the enemy is afraid, but one general has always made thousands of bones into mountains, this time I don’t know how many people will die in the war, how many parents will grow old, how many girls will cry in their boudoirs,
"Why"
"Then drink up this ginseng soup."
Ziyun picked up a large bowl of ginseng soup and drank it in one go.
"Look, Xu Hanwen is indeed a panacea for all kinds of diseases."
"Auntie, you make fun of me too."
"Okay, let me tell you, Nangong Wentian of the South Kingdom Zhuguo led an army of 200,000 to attack in two directions. Nangong Wentianxiu attacked Hefei, and Baili Kuangsha attacked Jiangdu. Xu Hanwen has been ordered to return to Pengcheng, Xuzhou. I think he has already led the army The army is at war with Baili Kuangsha."
It was okay not to listen, but Ziyun became even more nervous and worried when he heard it.
"Don't worry, you have to believe Hanwen, your future husband-in-law, Marquis Zhongyi, is not a wasted name."
