Chapter 489: These Three Years, Those Dead Spirits
Four Thousand!
Back then, he personally built a million strong army, now there are only four thousand left ……
Xin Zhuo looked up at the sky full of stars, silent for a while, before hissing hoarsely: “How many leading generals died in battle?”
Song Lao Chu sighed: “In the two great battles of the Black Wind Mouth and River Mouth of the Northern Cang Kingdom, Jiang Bange’er, Jiang XIII, Jiang Yuxi and Helian Sheng died in battle!
In the Black Dragon Grassland battle, Yuchi Jun, Yuchi Shuozhen, and Tuoba Ke Enemy died in battle.
The battle of the North Cang Imperial City, Folding Tengkun died in battle.
Attacking the Southern Li, the battle of Bai Feng Po Yuchi Shuo Maru Lie, Folden Jiao and six other family heads died in battle!
Subsequently, Lin Haotian, Jiang Gu’en and Feng Sanbao, Song Qiqi died in battle!
In the battle of Nanli Imperial City, the third master Jiang Hu and the four concubine sons and seven concubine daughters were all killed in battle!
The recent battle of the East Barbarians, in fact, the West Qin old man has not much left, Zhang Guangpu, Sun Miaoyi, Li Juguan and so on also all died in battle …….”
Song Lao Chu’s words are like a steel knife, poking at Xin Zhuo’s heart.
These people in Song Lao Chu said just a string of cold names, but in his memory is a group of some meat, temperament, ideas of living people.
It was a memory that he had been thinking bitterly about for several years in the Bitter Sea Land, when he was bored.
Now, it was already a yin and yang.
He turned his head and asked in a voice that was numb and stagnant, “Who is alive, tell me, who is alive?”
“Your Highness, rest your anger!”
Song Lao Chu’s eyes flushed red : “Bai Xuan Gui is leading the last four thousand remnants of Western Qin’s army and is still conquering under the Imperial City of Eastern Barbarians, and Yan Repulsor Zong is nowhere to be found.
Tai Seek Gong, Yu Si Liu and Chen led Li Shiyue and Murong Yunxi into the court …… as officials! Almost …… just these few people!”
Xin Zhuo’s voice became even more hoarse: “Why do you all have to listen to Ji Ying Yue, everything I taught you in the beginning, could it be that you have forgotten?”
He thought that Ji Ying Yue’s wrist was good, but he didn’t realize that the entire Western Qin was all held by her, and was buried for her ambitions!
Song Lao Chu was silent for a long time, not hiding it in the slightest: “Wangfei said, this is the last wish of His Highness before he was born, as long as the world is united, His Highness can be posthumously crowned as emperor, Jiang can enjoy wealth and prosperity for eternity, moreover, Wangfei has already cooperated with Confucianism, Confucianism has become the state religion of the Great Zhou, and the disciples of Confucianism are all over the Western Qin military and politics, enough to convince everyone!”
Xin Zhuo closed his eyes and breathed deeply for a while, then Fang said: “What about Cui Ying’er and them?”
Song Lao Chu eyes show the color of doubt: “They did not participate, earlier returned to the Volsung Mountain, but last year when …… suddenly all disappeared, no one knows where they went!”
Xin Zhuo heart feel better can some, and asked: “My side of those maids?”
“They also did not participate in any military politics!” Song Lao Chu deliberated for a moment, “I don’t know about the others minister, but the bear paw and the yam followed the Queen Dowager, that is, Your Highness’ mother, the First Princess of Qin ……”
Sighing, “It’s just that they, along with the Wang Empress Dowager, seem to be …… imprisoned in the Hall of Serving Immortals!”
“Why?” Xin Zhuo’s voice was icy cold.
Song Lao Chu let out a bitter smile: “The Wang Empress Dowager stopped the Wang Fei from doing everything, the Wang Fei teamed up with the Serving Immortal Hall, the Peace Palace, Tian Ji, Saffron, and Shen Hidden, and they didn’t know what they were going to do, so they had to imprison the Wang Empress Dowager for the time being!”
Carefully looked at Xin Zhuo’s face, continued: “The Wang Empress Dowager will be fine, nowadays Jiang is also very safe, the Empress is Jiang’s daughter, Jiang Yugui has become the West Qin County King, the old Taijun ignores anything, full power by the Princess of the North Sea, the eldest Princess of Zheng and other four princesses are in charge of, more than at any time to come to the peace!”
Xin Zhuo looked at the complex of buildings in the city and finally asked, “Where are Huang Tai Gai, Li Guang Ling and Jiang Yong?”
Song Lao Chu replied back: “The three left in pairs more than two years ago, I don’t know where they went!”
Xin Zhuo no longer speak, Song Lao Chu also have nothing to say, the old days of the monarch and courtier, silently looking at the lights of ten thousand families.
After a long time, Xin Zhuo said: “Go fetch some food and wine!”
Wine is Fufeng City old “strong wind strong”, food is Li Ji brine store brine.
Xin Zhuo drank the strong wind spirits, or the flavor of the year, rough but mellow, said: “wine is pure fragrance, people are old good, this person ah, once you drink the old wine to get into the habit, will not want to drink other wine, and talk to people is also the same!”
Song Lao Chu smiled bitterly and said: “Your Highness must have experienced a lot of things over the years!”
“Not much!” Xin Zhuo dunked a mouthful, “Not as much as you.”
Song Lao Chu sighed softly: “I know that your highness must be angry, just that your highness has ever thought about what is the mission of a professional soldier in Western Qin? It is war, the original intention of your highness to form the Western Qin army is to sweep the four directions. You are no longer there, they can not be idle, West Qin can not always keep so many troops, either continue to conquer, or disarmed to return to the field. They have always had the goal of dying on the battlefield and wrapping their bodies in horse leather!
What you are going to do, the big soldiers can’t understand, they only know that you are gone, they need to conquer, right or wrong and regardless, these four directions of the Great Powers are all fought down by Western Qin, this is Western Qin’s war achievement, history books can’t cover it up.”
“Maybe …… you are right, I am always trapped in the fight for the king and the pursuit of the martial arts matter wandering.”
Xin Zhuo laughed and patted the wine altar: “But the past has passed, this wine is still the wine of that year, but I’m afraid that the person who brewed the wine, is no longer the same person of that year, there are some things that always need to be discussed!”
“Does this …… make a difference?” Song Lao Chu boldly asked. “There is a big difference!” Xin Zhuo finished off the altar in one gulp and patted his shoulder, “Old Song, take care of yourself!”
Song Lao Chu’s body trembled lightly: “Is it true that we can’t go back?”
“You should ask those dead soldiers!”
Xin Zhuo got up and stepped forward, instantly traveling a hundred feet and disappearing in the blink of an eye at the end of the night sky.
“Your Highness!”
Song Lao Chu knelt to the ground and hissed up to the sky: “I understand, I have failed to fulfill your highness’s trust, I am not sorry for my death, I would like to hang up my crown and leave, and I will not refer to Great Zhou again!”
There was no half response in the night sky.
……
Autumn sun blazing.
The sunshine of the green mountains and green water of the Dongyi country has lost its charm, the war-torn tribes and cities are in a state of disrepair, and along the way are full of people fleeing from the Dongyi country in different clothes and hu clothing and dragging their families and homes.
A look of the mountains and rivers broken wind fluttering appearance.
Xin Zhuo’s footsteps are not too fast, in the Fufeng House and Song Lao Chu separated, he went to Murong home once again, see Murong Yi old lady, Murong Yi year request for the matter explained.
After leaving Fufeng Mansion, his face no longer had any expression.
Things in the world, the plan can not catch up with the change, he left, has done a lot of precautionary backhand, in order to West Qin can be described as painstaking, but only did not expect to come to this end.
He thought that Ji Ying Yue would toss and turn, just did not expect that she would use the Western Qin soldiers to pacify the world.
He thought that the Western Qin soldiers’ ambitions were getting bigger and bigger, but he didn’t realize that they were also willing to conquer!
Just like he thought that he would soon come out after entering the Momentous Lie Mountain, but he ended up wasting several years.
How is all this not the result of luck?
Western Qin is gone, the third uncle, Jiang Barbarian and other old generals are gone, he Jiang Yuqing is no longer the king of Qin!
Western Qin’s destiny has been dispersed.
He doesn’t have the heart to fight again.
This really confirmed those speculations and prophecies when he was in the Sea of Bitterness, that power and wealth are as empty as mirrors and water.
Just …… not willing ah!
Just …… still some heartache.
Those brave generals, those loyal soldiers, what will they think before they die?
Should they be given an explanation?
According to the prophet’s temple and all sorts of guesses, there are still two months to go before the martial arts extravaganza will descend!
Everything is unknown! It was better to hide in order to observe the changes in the sky, but before that, he needed to do something, he needed to right the name of the sons and daughters of Western Qin and ask for an explanation.
He looked ahead, and there was the Imperial City of the Eastern Barbarians.
……
Dongyi Country Imperial City Cold Capital, east of the three tribes of Dongyi, south of the endless sea.
This was the holy land of the dozens of major ministries, hundreds of minor tribes and hundreds of millions of people of the Dongyi Kingdom, and it was the supreme city of Dongyi, except that at the moment, the last 300,000 Dongyi elites that were guarding it had already been annihilated, and the Zhou army outside the city was pressing down on the city.
The twilight of the empire was bleak and sad, but it also inspired the determination of the remnants and nobles of the Dongyi Kingdom to die.
The siege was underway.
Hundreds of thousands of Great Zhou Palace Front Army, Divine Strategies Army, and Tianwu Army frantically attacked, as black as ants.
However, the most dangerous place, the place where the resistance of Dongyi Kingdom was the most tenacious was given to 4,000 black-armored remnants of West Qin soldiers!
These West Qin soldiers are still so valiant, still like a crackerjack, but can’t stand the intense fatigue, they have been fighting for several years, almost no more than three days of rest and recuperation, either conquering or on the way to conquering!
They have been numb, perhaps the ultimate destination is to run to the Yellow Springs along with His Highness, along with the old brothers, to fight once more.
Bai Xuan Gui rode an old horse, silver white armor on the body has been dyed dark red, when the handsome and heroic, clean face, has long been rough, dark, eyes full of fatigue, at this moment silently swept the line, saw the only remaining sons and daughters of Western Qin died in battle one by one, could no longer hold back, turned back on his horse and ran straight to the marshal’s middle army.
“My West Qin sons and daughters are only left with these thousands of people, they are too tired, West Qin’s mission has long been accomplished, the last battle, please allow them to retreat and go home to spend their days!”
“Not allowed!”
