Chapter 1471 The song of the enterprising people for thousands of years
Xu Huang looked at the corpses that had been sorted out and remained silent.
On the battlefield, life and death often occur in an instant, either killing the opponent or being killed by the opponent. Even if the corpse is wrapped in horse leather, he feels at ease and does not have too many feelings. However, Xu Huang's team is not here to fight against the opponent, but to provide support.
Hu Hu responded, so when he saw this scene in front of him, Xu Huang's heart was still churning.
What if we set out half a day early?
What if we drove an extra twenty miles on the way?
What if, upon receiving the message from the scout, he immediately used all his speed regardless of the horse's endurance?
if……
It's a pity that everything is just a hypothesis, and reality never tolerates half an if.
The body of the horse thief was unceremoniously thrown directly to the side of the cliff by Xu Huang's soldiers, but the bodies of Bai Que and others were placed flat and neatly, as if they were lying on the top of the mountain and sleeping soundly together.
"Report!"
A scout ran up from the bottom of the mountain and reported: "Reporting to the general, a man with colored eyes was found, and his whereabouts were strange. He has been captured and taken to the bottom of the mountain. Please make a decision, general!"
"Sex-eyed person?" Xu Huang frowned, "Bring him up."
Marcus was pushed up by the soldiers, twisting his tied arms restlessly and shouting in a low voice: "Oh no Si Huaileng... No Si Huaileng... Oh Zazan Kijama-kun..."
"
"Kneel down!" Xu Huang's men didn't quite understand, so they simply ignored him and directly escorted Marcus in front of Xu Huang, shouting that he wanted Marcus to kneel down.
Marcus didn't understand. He squirmed and shouted, "Oh, it's Yichi, Yichi..."
Xu Huang's heart moved, he waved his hand to stop the soldiers' actions, and said with gestures: "Do you mean, with these people or those people?"
Marcus wanted to point with his hands, but found that his arms were tied and could not be stretched out at all, so he twisted his body and pointed in the direction of Bai Que and others with an awkward posture.
"Oh? So, where is the evidence?" Xu Huang said slowly, "How to prove that you are indeed with these people?"
"Nisi Canxijian-kun?" Marcus asked rhetorically.
"What? Oh, I'm not General Zhengxi, oh... Bah, I'm Xu Huang, Xu Gongming, a subordinate of General Zhengxi..." Xu Huang said, "Can you tell me who you are now?"
"Oh, just like him..." Marcus twisted his butt, stretched out his hand from behind to point to Bai Que, then pointed to the flag above Xu Huang's head, and said, "The four or three colors he has
Mr. Jian’s cold..."
Xu Huang couldn't help but look up at the three-color Zhengxi battle flag flying above his head. He was silent for a moment, waved his hand and said: "... Untie him, give him some water... Speak slowly, tell him what you know,
Say it all..."
Marcus took the water bag and drank half of it before regaining his breath. He told everything that happened to Bai Que before, including the incident when Bai Que asked him to escape by himself. However, Marcus
But I don’t know if I forgot or if I was careful, I didn’t escape the little cloth wrapped by Bai Que...
"Go, take him forward and identify Captain Bai..." After hearing the ins and outs, Xu Huang generally believed five or six points. As for those doubts, there was no answer for the time being, so he could only press it aside for the time being.
Let Marcus go forward and recognize the person first.
Marcus walked in front of the corpses of Bai Que and others lying side by side, and soon stood in front of Bai Que. He was silent for a moment, half-kneeling in front of Bai Que's body, and put one hand on his chest, as if praying.
What? He murmured something in a low voice, then stood up and said to Xu Huang: "He...he has four numbers..."
Xu Huang stepped forward, squatted down, opened Bai Que's collar, found the nameplate tied to Bai Que's neck, cut the thick hemp rope with a knife, and took it in his hand. When he looked at it, he was stunned.
on the spot.
"..." Xu Huang was silent, clenching the nameplate in his hand, and after a moment he turned to Marcus and asked, "Do you know the names of the other people?"
"Some lead this way, some don't..." Marcus said.
"It doesn't matter, tell me everything you know," Xu Huangchao waved to the side and called a guard, "... take notes... write down everything he can remember..."
The guard didn't understand why Xu Huang did this, but he didn't ask any more questions and followed Marcus after taking the order.
Xu Huang watched silently, then let go of his hand, looked down, and was speechless for a while.
I have almost forgotten that Baique and others are not serious soldiers and horses fighting for the Western Conquest...
Although these people have nameplates to identify themselves, they are not engraved, which means there are no names on the nameplates. It does not mean that these people have no names, but it means that these people are guilty and will have to wait until the charges are offset.
Only then can you get the right to engrave your name.
Now, Xu Huang believes that these people are qualified to have their names branded on the nameplates, and then they are also qualified to hang on the wooden stakes in front of the Pingyang Heroes Altar and eat incense...
"General!" A soldier came to report, "The burial tomb has been dug..." According to the practice of the Western Expedition, those who traveled within three days could directly return with the corpses of soldiers who died in the battle.
For those who were within a day's journey, they would look for the sunny hillside at the battlefield where the soldiers died, dig a burial mound, erect a monument for burial, and then go back with the nameplate.
"Get a certain shirt and a big cloak!" Xu Huang was silent for a moment, then turned around and ordered, "Put it on Captain Bai! Take his clothes and put them away! Take them back to Guanzhong!" Normally speaking, if they were buried outside like this,
Those who are buried in a burial mound usually build another burial mound after returning to the soldier's hometown. However, Xu Huang knew that people like Bai Que might not have left any clothes or utensils to replace him, whether in Pingyang or Guanzhong.
Come and set up a tomb.
There was nothing Xu Huang could do about the others, but Bai Que, Xu Huang felt the need to take all his clothes back...
At least, it proves that these people have fought hard, fought hard, and washed away their previous crimes with blood, so they should enjoy the same treatment as normal soldiers in the Western Conquest.
After a while, the guards packed up the blood-stained white bird's clothes and other belongings and presented them to Xu Huang.
Xu Huang took a step forward, placed the nameplate in his hand on these clothes, and then said: "Put it away and take it back... The rest will be buried in the ground..."
The last handful of soil fell, and the bark of the felled tree trunk was peeled off, and it was used as a tombstone and erected in front of the eternal burial mound. Xu Huang looked at the large ink letters on the tombstone: "Baique, the captain of the upper county under the command of General Han Zhengxi..." was silent for a long time.
, bowed his head slightly, and bowed forward.
Everyone behind Xu Huang also saluted, and suddenly they heard the sound of sparkling iron armor clashing on the hillside...
"Let's go!" Xu Huang raised his head, glanced at the tombstone for the last time, then turned around and shouted, "Brother, follow me home!"
"Brother! Go home with me!" Xu Huang's soldiers shouted in unison.
"Brother! Go home with someone..."
"Go home..."
Between the heaven and the earth, the wind and clouds are rolling, and there is a faint echo, as if Bai Que and others are responding...
Xu Huang mounted his horse and commanded in a deep voice: "Send someone to pass the order to the surrounding Qiang tribes! Within three days, I want to know which group of horse thieves dared to do such a thing! Then, use these hairs again."
Use the blood of thieves to recast the monument of the White Brothers!"
…………………………
"Bai Que died?"
When Fei Qian heard the news, he couldn't help but feel dumb and speechless for a while. Fei Qian never expected that Bai Que was almost at Longyou and something like this happened.
Because the shoulder was injured and has not recovered yet, basically speaking, it does not require much strength. It is really inconvenient to read bamboo slips and wooden slips and approve things with only one hand, so now most of them
Pang Tong would check and read the text aloud on his behalf. When Fei Qian's approval was needed, Fei Qian would do it.
"Who did it?" Fei Qian's eyes turned slightly cold. Although Baique and others are Black Mountain bandits, since they are going to the Western Regions to seek seeds for themselves, they are equivalent to their subordinates. Naturally, they want to know who they are.
Who did such a thing.
Pang Tong said: "Wenhe's writing refers to a new group of horse thieves outside Hexi..."
"Horse thieves?" Fei Qian frowned and said, "So rampant?"
Pang Tong said: "There has been no Han Dynasty Protectorate in the Western Regions for a long time, so bandits are naturally rampant... But they dare to offend us... Hum, Wen He has already mobilized troops and is preparing to go to the suppression..."
"Good!" Fei Qian nodded and said, "That's how it should be."
Fei Qian was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh, feeling a little disappointed in his heart. Originally, Fei Qian thought that even if Bai Que came, he could not bring any seeds, but he could talk about the situation in the Western Region. This was something that had already happened for a long time.
For the big man who had cut off all communication with the Western Regions, it was no less than opening his eyes to the west again. However, he never thought that Bai Que would die on the Hexi Corridor.
Could it be God's will?
Fei Qian frowned.
Everything seems to be going wrong lately. First, he was assassinated, and now Bai Que has died. Is there anything else going to happen next?
Is it possible that if species or technologies want to implement some technological leaps in advance, some consciousness of Gaia will come to hinder them?
Suddenly, many random thoughts arose in Fei Qian's mind.
"...Xu Gongming has obtained Captain Bai Du's robes and has sent them to him together with the document... He specially requested to erect a tomb for his robes and crowns at the Pingyang Heroes' Tomb..." Pang Tong continued to read the text, while nodding and saying, "...Although Bai Du
Wei was originally from Montenegro, but now that he has died in battle, his crime can be avoided... What do you think, my lord?"
"What?" Fei Qian came back to his senses and asked.
Pang Tong said it again.
"Clothes? Captain Bai gets the robes?!" Fei Qian's heart suddenly jumped and he asked, "Where is it located?"
Pang Tong didn't know what was going on, but since Fei Qian asked, he turned around and said, "Come here! Get the clothes of Captain Bai sent by the right Fufeng Jia envoy!"
Not long after, the guard brought out a wooden box. Inside the wooden box was the blood-stained white bird's clothes. Because it had been several days, the original bright red blood stains had dried up, showing patches of blood.
Black purple.
Fei Qian gently removed the clothes from the wooden box, and then unfolded them on the table. Hanging with one hand and only using the other hand to do such a thing, it seemed simple, but it was not easy.
Pang Tong didn't know what Fei Qian wanted to do, so he stood up curiously and walked to Fei Qian's side. However, when he stood closer, he still felt that the smell of his clothes was a bit unpleasant, so he subconsciously covered it with his sleeves.
Mouth and nose.
At this time, Fei Qian did not dislike the various blood, sweat, and mud stains on the clothes, nor did he care about the smell emanating from the clothes. He just carefully inspected the clothes...
Suddenly, a cloth bag sewn on the belt caught Fei Qian's attention. He pinched it and it seemed to be something hard. However, he couldn't open the bag with one hand, so he turned to Pang Tong and said, "Help."
I'll take it apart!"
Pang Tong got the knife and helped Fei Qian open the cloth bag to reveal the contents...
"This..." Fei Qian hesitantly looked at the dark inside of the cloth bag, which looked like moldy small dried fruits, with some yellow-gray fluff, light and weightless.
Is this a seed?
Is it really just peach blossoms, no, cotton seeds?
Isn't it already moldy or broken?
Fei Qian couldn't be sure, but he called Zao Zhi and asked Zao Zhi to come and take a look.
"...This..." Zao Zi had never seen such a thing before. He held it in his hand and looked at it carefully. He even smelled it and almost licked it. "Uh... why does it smell so bloody?
…”
"This is what I found in Captain Zibai's clothes..." Fei Qian explained, "If he really found a species, it would probably be this thing... It just looks like... I don't know if it can be planted..."
When Zao Zhi heard this, his expression suddenly became serious. He counted them one by one seriously, then frowned and said, "There are only a dozen...I don't know what the quality of this species is and whether it can be stored..." If it is true,
There is no need for Fei Qian to say anything about millet and wheat. Zaozhi naturally knows how to handle it. From storage to seedlings to planting to topdressing, etc., one-stop service, no problem at all, but when faced with brand-new species
, Zaozhi really doesn’t know how to deal with it...
Plant half and leave half?
The advantage of this is that you can have a second chance to remedy the situation. If there is any problem with the first batch of seeds, you can learn from it. But the question is can these seeds be stored? How to store them? If you miss planting time, and then the seeds dry up and can no longer germinate. So isn’t half of the seeds wasted?
If they are all planted, if there is a problem such as too much water, too much sun, or some bugs come again, where will they be remedied?
Moreover, there were only a dozen or so seeds, so no matter how he did it, there seemed to be some problems and it was not very appropriate. Faced with such a problem, Zao Zhi was naturally a little hesitant and hesitant to take action.
"Grow them! Plant them all! No need to worry about anything!" Fei Qian finally made up his mind and said, "Captain Bai sacrificed his life to find such species, how can we live up to his ambition? Plant them all, one pot at a time, and separate them. The seeds... I don’t know how deep to bury them, so I test both depth and shallowness. I don’t know how much water to add, but I also test them. I don’t know how to like yin and yang, so I put them in many places and try them... For thousands of years, the ancestors of China have followed this step by step. How can we have Zhuanghe today if we try? If it doesn't work today, try again tomorrow! If it doesn't work this time, we will send it out again! The ferocious beasts are running rampant, and they eat their hair and drink blood, but they have not stopped the pace of our ancestors! How can we be timid today? We have lost the true spirit of our ancestors’ enterprising spirit!”
The sky and the earth are vast and the eternity is long, which has always been the song of perseverance and enterprising people!
