On February 1, the weather was extremely cold and snowy.
Outside the city of Hongyan, successive supplies were delivered, and at the same time, the major state government officials in the province successively sent letters of surrender, willing to accept to be citizens of the Great Qin Empire. At noon, the Liaoyuan Province was sent by Feiqi. Coming to lower the table, the Governor of Liaoyuan Province is willing to give the seal of the consul because of the emptiness of his troops.
But all official duties were stagnated because of Lin Muyu's unconsciousness.
…
In the mansion of Red Rock City, Wei Qiu, Situ Sen, Situ Xue, Situ Xue, Sikong Yao and others rushed into a group, pacing back and forth in the living room of Lin Muyu's room, Sagong Yao holding green tea in his hand, said: "Wei Qiu, don't you I walked up and down, and I lost my eyes!"
Wei Qiu gritted his teeth and said, "My lord has been unconscious, how can this be good?"
Sikongyao looked faintly: "Brother, he fought hard for three days and three nights in a row. He took the lead and almost exhausted all his fighting spirit. Then he was overwhelmed with grief because of the death of Cangnan Hou. Hey, let’s see what Chu Yao said after the diagnosis. ."
At this moment, the door of the room creaked open, and Chu Yao, who was dressed in the white robe of the chief deacon of the Department of Spirit Medicine, walked out of the dust, frowning and said: "He has been having a high fever since the morning. He is also very weak and needs a good rest period. For the time being, no one will disturb him. I will stay here and concentrate on taking care of him."
Sikongyao opened her small mouth.
Chu Yao said: "If you want to see it, go in and take a look. He hasn't woken up yet, for a while... Give him a little gruel, otherwise the nutrition in the body will not be able to keep up at all."
"Ok."
Sikongyao entered the room with a stride, only to see Lin Muyu awake in a deep sleep.
Chu Yao looked at the generals in the living room and said, "A Yu is not here, don’t you know what to do? Don’t forget, you are all generals that A Yu relies on. A Yu needs a rest now. Don't bother him with your important military and political affairs, otherwise I won't agree to it."
Wei Qiu smiled awkwardly: "Yes, deacon, all we understand is that..."
"Just what?"
"Liaoyuan Province decided to surrender. We don't know the authenticity for the time being, and we haven't given a response yet."
"Isn't it very simple?" Chu Yao raised her eyebrows, and said: "The Liaoyuan Province originally had no military strength, but this time it was almost wiped out by the Gentian Battalion. Moreover, the Liaoyuan Province is located in the south, and the east is impossible. For the mountains to pass over, the west is the province of mountains, and the north is the province of Hongyan. We are trapped to death in the south. You have no choice but to surrender. You have no choice but to defend your enemies. You send a commander and ten civil servants to collect Liaoyuan. The army of the province and the rectification of the province’s internal affairs are enough. In this case, even if they cheat, we will not have much loss."
"Yes, I... I'll do it soon. If Lin Shuai can do it, the subordinates will say that Deacon Chu Yao ordered the matter to be handled."
"Hmph, you are still in charge of the Longdan Camp, you are really afraid of taking the burden."
"Ha..." Wei Qiu smiled bitterly: "The chief deacon knows something. Wei Qiu is a military commander, and the affairs of the provincial administration are done by civilians. It was originally out of my turn. I think... If you have you, I can do it without worry."
"Ok."
"That's right, there's something else." Wei Qiu who walked to the door suddenly stopped and turned around and said: "His Royal Highness Yin and Princess Xi both presided over the memorial ceremony for seeing the soldiers killed in the Battle of Longyuan in Xiping City. Regarding Lin Shuai's unconsciousness Do you want to tell your Royal Highness about the news?"
Chu Yao bit her red lips and said, "No, this will only worry Xiaoyin and Xiaoxi in vain. Just tell them that the Hongyan Province has captured it. Also, the news of Xu Jiantao's martyrdom will also be informed. They, send the dragon knight to the Xishan province with the body under Xu Jiantao's command. You should be able to fly there in half a day and be buried properly. He is a hero of the empire."
"Yes, I understand."
…
In the room, Lin Muyu closed her eyes and stayed awake, but her body trembled slightly, as if she was having a nightmare, and sweat dripped on her forehead.
"elder brother… "
Sikongyao wiped his sweat, her pretty face was full of worries.
Chu Yao walked in again and said, "Ms. Sikong, don't worry too much. A Yu's body is hard. This time it was only some serious injuries, excessive sadness, and anxiety. He will wake up soon. Now we need to take good care of him. Let’s not disturb him. Let’s go. Hongyan will save a lot of waste. You, the leader of the Baize mercenary, have many things to do. You need fifty thousand soldiers, war horse weapons, etc. You got involved."
"Well, thank Sister Chu Yao for reminding me."
Sikongyao pursed her red lips, and said, "I'm in the prairie ground. Please send someone to notify me once my brother wakes up."
"Okay, go ahead."
Sikong Yao reluctantly left.
Chu Yao sat by the bed, looking at Lin Muyu's very pale face, and said, "Why are you so careless about your body? You see, so many people miss you. Wake up quickly. If you don't wake up again, I'm afraid I'm going to miss Xu Jiantao's funeral."
…
West Mountain Province, see the green hills outside Longyuan.
The Red Rock Province is less than a thousand miles away from here. Situ Sen and Situ Xue’s dragon riders arrived here in almost half a day, and in the snow, the empire’s civil and military officials stood solemnly, paying homage to the emperor who died in battle.
"Situ Sen is here!"
Feng Jixing raised his head and said.
Qian Feng frowned and said: "There has been no news from Hongyan Province for three consecutive days. Situ Sen must have brought some news."
"Yes… "
A total of four giant dragons fell on the open space in front of the crowd. Situ Sen turned over and slipped off the dragon's back, kneeling down and said: "Chen Situ Sen, see Her Royal Highness, see Princess Xi!"
"Get up." Qin Yin, wearing a white female emperor robe, said: "General Sen, what's going on with Brother Ayu?"
"all the best."
Situ Sen's eyes were a little red, and he murmured: "Our Longdan Camp has been guarding the Phoenix Pass for nearly ten days. It has exhausted the spirit and food of He Song's 250,000 army. When He Song retreated, Lin Shuai ordered us to keep running. For three days and three nights, we went all the way from Phoenix Pass to the bottom of Hongyan City, and almost wiped out He Song’s army... But... But the goddamn Chen Yu actually dispatched Song Liangcheng to lead one hundred thousand elites in Hong Kong. Yancheng killed us with ease... The Longdan Camp Pioneer Camp was almost completely lost, and Lin Shuai was seriously injured..."
"what?!"
Qin Yin's body trembled slightly, and said anxiously: "Brother Ayu is all right?"
"Lin Shuai is okay, just seriously injured." Situ Sen's eyes were full of tears, and said: "But... But in order to cover Lin Shuai, Xu Jiantao led five thousand soldiers and horses to block the 50,000 thieves, and was besieged in Not Gu. After a bloody battle on the mountain, he was martyred!"
Situ Sen knelt on the ground, tears streaming down.
No one would have thought that the clambering iron-boned hero would cry so unscrupulously, he knelt there, stuck his long sword on the ground, curled up like a poor dried shrimp, among military comrades. The friendship between others cannot be appreciated, not to mention the close friends like Situ Sen and Xu Jiantao who belong to the Longdan Camp and have lived and died together for many years.
Behind them, two dragon knights carried Xu Jiantao's coffin and lowered the dragon's back. Xu Jiantao's body was wrapped in a purple flower king flag, and his expression before death was very peaceful, even smiling.
The eyes of Feng Jixing, Zhang Wei, Qin Yan and others were red, and they all knelt on one knee. Even Qin Yin, a female emperor, slowly knelt down and muttered: "Buil Xu Jiantao to the first place in the Mausoleum of Jian Longyuan Town, and he will be named Cangnan Duke, the son will inherit the title of the father, and the title will be passed down from generation to generation. ."
After the founding of the Congress, the viscounts of the princes of the princes were deposed one after another. Almost all the titles were given to some martyred heroes, which is understandable.
Situ Sen stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness, please don't be too sad. In this battle, the Longdan Camp killed nearly 200,000 enemies and suffered more than 50,000."
"Where is Lin Shuai?"
Qin Yin moved her red lips and asked, "How is Lin Shuai?"
"Oh, Lin Shuai was slightly injured and is now presiding over the overall situation in Hongyan City."
"Really?"
"Ok!"
Qin Yin didn't seem to believe Xu Jiantao's words, she knew Lin Muyu's character, Xu Jiantao was Lin Muyu's beloved general, and her best friend for so many years, now that Xu Jiantao died in battle, how heavy the blow to Lin Muyu should be!
Feng Ji walked forward and said, "His Royal Highness... After Duke Cangnan's body is sent into the mausoleum, you must read the sacrificial text yourself."
"Ok, I know."
Feng Jixing glanced at Situ Sen again and asked, "Ayu is okay?"
"Please rest assured, the deputy commander, Lin Shuai is fine."
"It's okay... Oh, that's good..." Feng Jixing frowned and said nothing.
…
I don’t know who took the lead, singing the imperial war hymn of the Qiuyan. Soon, the soldiers were singing. Many of them were wounded to send Brother Paoze for the last time. At this time, what could be better than the Qiuyan Ballad. I can tell the sadness in my heart even better—
The world is vast and the mountains and rivers are torrential.
The icy moonlight entered the battlefield.
The Daojiang River is so blue and the breeze is blowing.
The warriors of the empire went to death together.
Kill all the jackals and be frivolous for a lifetime.
Who will soothe my injury.
The way home can no longer be seen.
Looking to see through, only sighed at the high mountains and long rivers.
Vertically and horizontally, always guarding the country.
Why not return the soul to the end of the world.
Where is the shattered warrior of the battle robe buried
Qiu Yan, please take my soul back to my hometown.
…
"The way home can no longer be seen... The way home can no longer be seen..." Feng Jixing mourned a few words, and couldn't help but twitch in his heart. Who will be the next war dead
Situ Sen looked up at the snowy sky, and heard the sorrows of birds faintly. It was already spring, but it was still snowing. Situ Sen’s voice trembled and shouted to the sky: "Autumn Yan, ah, autumn. Yan, if you are really there, please take Xu Jiantao’s spirit back to your hometown, so that we who are alive can accompany him when we go back to drink. Xu Jiantao loves warming wine and discussing the world, hurry up and take him. Go home, don't leave him here alone..."
Feng Jixing, Zhang Wei and others couldn't help convulsing, tears rolling down.
