Mu Nihuang came down the mountain, holding a clay pot in her arms containing Lin Shu's ashes.
Several people from the Jiangzuo League worked together to carry the tombstone, Fei Liu was also helping, and the frail Mei Changsu quietly followed Mu Nihuang.
With such a move, it seemed like they were taking Lin Shu home.
Lin Shu's tomb is the only one in the entire Red Flame. It can also be said to be...bringing the Red Flame army home.
The grief in the hearts of viewers across the country is slowly dissipating, but watching the speechless scenes on TV, they feel depressed and depressed.
And amidst this dullness, many viewers were also confused.
On Lin Shu's tombstone, in addition to the words "Grave of Marshal Lin Shu of the Red Flame Army", there is also a sentence: Phoenix Nirvana, Northland Yongchang.
What does this mean?
Phoenix represents red flame?
Northland Yongchang, that is, Northland enjoys eternal peace?
The audience took this sentence literally and understood it to mean: Once the Red Flame is destroyed, the Northland will be completely peaceful?
The superficial meaning is easy to understand, but many viewers feel that this sentence must have a deeper meaning.
Audiences across the country continued to watch with this thirst for knowledge.
Mu Nihuang, Mei Changsu and others were going to rest in the wooden house for the night and decided to return to Beijing the next day.
The scene changed and we came to Daliang Kyoto.
Under the shroud of darkness, many people in the city were still immersed in the bustling nightlife, not feeling the storm in the court or the upcoming changes.
The South City Gate Campground is some distance away from the night market. This campground is hidden in the darkness and appears mysterious and silent.
Under the light of a few bonfires, a group of soldiers were dressed in armor and weapons, ready to go. The leader of the city gate school captain pulled out a steel knife and gently stroked the blade. There was nostalgia and hatred in his eyes: "Tonight, for
Fight with red flames!"
The soldiers in front of him didn't say much, they just performed a red flame military salute to express their determination.
The scenes of the East City Gate Camp and the West City Gate Camp followed, each with a group of soldiers doing this.
Obviously, they want to rebel.
Just fighting for Red Flame?
What's going on?
During the reign of the late Emperor, Beirong once burned, killed, and looted all the way to the capital area, making the people tremble with fear and panic.
Later, with the existence of the Red Flame Army, Beirong never went south for more than 20 years, thus maintaining peace.
Only those who have truly experienced suffering can deeply understand the happiness of being protected and the difficulty of the Red Flame Army.
For this reason, the Red Flame Army is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and is often called their patron saint by the people in the North and nearby areas.
The reserve personnel of the Red Flame Army come from the Kyoto City Defense Army and the Forbidden Army. Both the City Defense Army and the Forbidden Army are proud to join the Red Flame Army.
This is a tradition that belongs to soldiers when it comes to promotion ideas, and it is also the highest ideal for soldiers to hope that they can protect their families and country like Chi Yan.
But ten years ago, this supreme ideal was gone, and the Red Flame Army, which was the bravest among the three armies, was destroyed.
As soldiers, these soldiers understood how powerful Chi Yan was, so why were they suddenly destroyed?
They want the truth, but there is no way to find the truth, but it is such a seed that takes root in their hearts.
"Chun Qiu Zuo Zhuan" says: The major affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military affairs.
Sacrifice: A division has a reputation, and when mobilizing soldiers before going out for an expedition, they must be moral.
Rong: military strength.
Since ancient times, whether it is a rebellion or an uprising or the expansion of territory, the military and civilians must have a reason why, and there must be a good name for raising troops.
The imperial army is stationed in the palace and cannot act rashly.
The city defense army is within the city, so it is relatively easy to take action.
It is obvious that Princess Linglong has grasped the psychology of the city defense army, and used King Yu's power to arrange chess pieces to join the city defense army as officers, and privately publicized the unjust death of the Red Flame Army.
After years of brainwashing, and now that the time has come, King Yu, who is qualified to be emperor, told the city defense army: If they want to know the truth about the Red Flame Army, they can only rebel.
Therefore, the name of King Yu's rebellion was: to fight for the Red Flame Army who died unjustly!
"It's too poisonous!"
"Princess Linglong personally planned to destroy the Red Flame Army, and now she is rebelling in the name of the Red Flame Army's unjust death. My God, this woman is so cruel!"
"Why is such a beautiful woman so bad? The level of cruelty is really shocking!"
Regarding Princess Linglong's ruthlessness, audiences across the country once again refreshed their understanding of this character.
He has an appearance that will captivate the whole country, but he has the heart to play with everyone in the world.
Screen switch, Imperial Palace Study Room.
Emperor Liang, who was drinking tea, was interrupted by an anxious voice: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened. King Yu has raised an army to rebel and led the city defense army to the imperial city!"
With a "pop" sound, the tea cup in Emperor Liang's hand broke to the ground, and his whole body trembled.
Screen switching, imperial city gate tower.
Under the moonlight, the commander of the imperial army, Meng Zhi, stood with the hilt of a sword in his hand, coldly looking down at the military formation below and the leader of the horseman, King Yu.
King Yu raised his head and shouted: "General Meng Zhi, you were once a member of the Red Flame generals..."
King Yu persuaded Meng Zhi to open the city gate and together with him forced Emperor Liang to seek the truth.
If it weren't for Mu Nihuang and the things Mu Nihuang and Mei Changsu found out, Meng Zhi would have really had the urge to open the city gate at this moment.
But after knowing a lot of things, he certainly knew that King Yu was raising the army in this name, and he would definitely not join forces with King Yu.
King Yu used the name of the Red Flame Army to raise an army to rebel, which was something he never expected.
It was Prince Jing who really thought about the Red Flame Army, but Prince Jing's efforts were completely stolen by the current Prince Yu.
What a good way to draw out the firepower!
The imperial city was besieged, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were trapped in the palace. Meng Zhi led the imperial army to confront King Yu's city defense army.
Neither side wanted to spill blood and did not launch an offensive or defensive attack immediately.
King Yu is not in a hurry, he still needs to wait for his mother, Princess Linglong's dead soldiers, to pull out all the hidden outposts of the Xuanjing Division in Beijing, and for some city defense troops to occupy all four counties and checkpoints near Kyoto.
When the capital is firmly under control, the Yunnan army is in chaos, and Beirong is marching south, leaving the people in the palace with no hope, then this will be a good time to launch an offensive, and perhaps capture the imperial city without a single blow.
.
"ah--"
"who are you!"
When Princess Linglong's dead soldiers take action, when a part of the city defense army marches across Kyoto, when the panicked voices of the people fill Kyoto...
At this point, Kyoto was in chaos.
The scene changed and we came to Northland.
Mu Nihuang and his party set out to return to Beijing early in the morning. They were all riding horses. The only carriage contained Lin Shu's ashes and tombstone.
Just walking on the official road, I saw a group of foreigners engaged in a hand-to-hand battle with the soldiers from the North.
This is official law, where did the thieves come from?
"Beirong!" Mei Changsu saw the faces of the foreigners clearly, with a fierce look in his eyes.
Mu Nihuang was even more decisive. She clamped her legs between the horse's belly and rode the horse straight to the fighting place.
The sound of horse hoofbeats shocked everyone on both sides for a long time.
Mu Nihuang held Lin Shu's general sword at her waist and slowly drew the sword out, making a continuous sound of "噌——".
Some sharp-eyed soldiers from the North saw the word "Red Flame" on the hilt and seemed to recognize the sword. The spiritual beliefs in their hearts surged in their eyes with disbelief: "It's Princess Nihuang!"
Princess Nihuang, the Marshal of the Yunnan Army, and the wife of Marshal Chiyan, she is here holding the Marshal's general sword!
The men and horses of Beirong changed their expressions when they heard this. Just when the leader was about to raise his sword to parry, he heard a "chi" and was cut off by a thunderous sword.
The morale of the soldiers in the north increased greatly, and the situation that was still at a disadvantage was reversed in an instant. Together with Mu Nihuang, they wiped out the small group of ten Beirong soldiers.
"See Princess Nihuang." The Northland soldiers knelt on one knee.
These soldiers were an army composed of the city defense army, the Forbidden Army, and the hot-blooded people from all over the world who joined the army after the destruction of the Red Flame Army. Each of them had more or less reasons to worship the Red Flame Army and seek the truth about the destruction of the Red Flame Army.
Whether it was Mu Nihuang's position as marshal, the identity of the young marshal's wife, or the red flame general sword in Mu Nihuang's hand, they all respected her from the bottom of their hearts.
"No need to be polite." Mu Nihuang got off his horse and asked, "What's going on?"
The soldiers stood up, and the leader solemnly replied: "About 20,000 Beirong foreigners have gathered in northern Xinjiang. In the past few days, only a few small groups of troops have been sent to sneak into the territory. It is probably just a test. It is estimated that the troops will move south in a few days."
"Oops." Mei Changsu's expression changed at the side: "The princess was attacked and disappeared in Kyoto. If someone is willing to spread the news to Yunnan, the army and people of Yunnan will inevitably change. At this time, the Beirong army will go south again. I'm afraid that Kyoto
already……"
Mu Nihuang's heart sank. Since the destruction of Chi Yan, Beirong had not raised any troops in the ten years. At most, it was only a small group of troops invading the border.
This sudden increase of 20,000 troops was the first time for Beirong to raise such a large army in ten years. Combined with her assassination, it was difficult for her not to guess that this was a conspiracy.
What Mei Changsu said was nothing more than saying that there might have been a mutiny in Kyoto and King Yu had rebelled!
"Princess..." The leading soldier hesitated to speak.
Mu Nihuang looked at him and saw him kneeling down and pleading: "Our 10,000 defenders in the north have no heavy armor, no heavy crossbows, and not enough high-quality war horses."
"The general asked the imperial court for help, but the imperial court did not reply."
"The general asked the imperial court for equipment, but the imperial court only replied that he would be on guard and guard to the death."
"If the Beirong army of 20,000 soldiers marches south, it will be extremely difficult for our northern defenders to defend in such a situation. Millions of people in the north may lose their lives. Please also ask the princess to lead us to fight against the Beirong and ensure the peace of the north.
!”
Dozens of famous soldiers all prayed: "Please also ask the princess to lead us to fight against the Beirong and ensure the peace of the north!"
Audiences across the country clenched their fists. They would really like to see Mu Nihuang lead his troops into war.
It's not just fighting for the sake of fighting, but fighting against Beirong is Chi Yan's mission and Lin Shu's mission.
As Lin Shu's wife, Mu Nihuang happened to come to the Northland and faced the dilemma of the Northland. If Mu Nihuang holds Lin Shu's handsome sword to fight against the Beirong, this can be regarded as a kind of inheritance and a continuation of spiritual beliefs.
Mei Changsu also persuaded: "If there is chaos in Kyoto, we can't stop it even if we return to the capital. If we can use the army of the north to fight against the Beirong, then we can also lead the army of the north to kill King Qin of Kyoto and completely reveal the truth about Chi Yan."
."
Hearing what he said, Mu Nihuang didn't hesitate: "Take me to see your general."
Many viewers in front of the TV were excited. Is Mu Nihuang’s climax finally coming?
So many characters in the play have their own highlights, but Mu Nihuang's highlights are somewhat lacking.
In fact, it's not that bad. Mu Nihuang's wisdom and determination have always been the biggest characteristics of this character, but it just seems a bit dull when the characteristics are continuously displayed.
And what is Mu Nihuang’s identity? Marshal!
The marshal leads the army to go on an expedition, and in this old land of Red Flame, with Mu Nihuang's various identities and the Red Flame Commander Sword in her hand, her expedition to lead the army has even more extraordinary significance.
Mu Nihuang came to the main army tent, and the generals met Princess Nihuang, and they all showed great respect.
Especially that handsome sword with red flames, which seemed to be the soul of the army, igniting everyone's strong fighting spirit to resist Beirong.
"Although the Red Flame Army was destroyed that year, Beirong was also severely damaged. It is impossible to restore the military in just ten years. It is possible that the 20,000 troops came out of Beirong. When they went south, they were also cooperating with the rebels in Kyoto.
conspiracy."
Mei Changsu was a witness to the Meiling battlefield, and Mu Nihuang believed his words and made plans based on them.
"Calling the people to enter the city, leave three thousand defenders to defend it, and abandon everything outside the city."
"The remaining seven thousand troops followed me into Meiling and attacked the royal court of Beirong."
"What a plan!" Mei Changsu praised, stroking his hands.
The 20,000 Beirong foreigners marched south in large numbers, and the defense would definitely not be able to hold on. Sooner or later, the villages and markets outside the city would be looted. This was destined to happen.
It would be better to follow what Mu Nihuang said, abandon everything outside the city, let the people enter the city to defend, and save the lives of the people first.
There is a mountain road in Meiling that leads directly to the royal court of Beirong. This is not a secret. Both the former Red Flame Army and Beirong knew it.
Only because the terrain of Meiling was complex and the key roads and passes were guarded by Beirong, the Red Flame Army did not invade this place.
The main reason is that the Beirong aliens have high mobility. Even if you break the Meiling Pass, their royal court members will probably run away on horseback.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But now there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Beirong will go south sooner or later, and troops are gathered in Kyoto because there is suspicion of rebellion.
This shows that the rebels in Kyoto are connected with Beirong.
But what neither the Kyoto rebels nor the Beirong knew was that Mu Nihuang appeared in the Northland and presided over the strategic operations of the Northland army.
From the perspective of Beirong, they may not even think that when Daliang is in chaos, Daliang troops will take a shortcut to attack their royal court.
Where did the army come from?
Just the ten thousand troops in the North?
The troops from the North are going to attack the royal court, so you don’t want the North in Daliang anymore?
Mu Nihuang told them, I am attacking your royal court. Your royal court contains your king and his family. Will you come to rescue me?
As long as you come to save me, Daliangbei will be safe.
This is to surround Wei and save Zhao.
Let's take the 7,000 troops from the North, who had never fought against the Beirong, and go deep into the Gobi and grasslands. This is also a desperate move.
Mu Nihuang's strategic arrangement is also the best way to break the current situation in Northland.
With audiences across the country watching with great anticipation, Mu Nihuang led the army to the Meiling area. The defenders at several passes were breached before they could react. This also confirmed what Mei Changsu said. Beirong gathered an army and arrived.
The entire army was mobilized in Daliang Beijiang, and the number of manpower to defend itself was pitiful.
In just two days and nights, seven thousand troops from the North came to the Beirong King's court, like divine soldiers descending from the sky. The Beirong King looked in disbelief when he was captured.
In addition to the King of Beirong, there is also a Queen of Beirong.
"A person from the Xia Kingdom?" Mu Nihuang asked.
Queen Beirong did not speak, but stared at Mu Nihuang with hatred on her face.
At this moment, audiences across the country understood why Princess Linglong and Xia Jiang were connected to Beirong. It turned out that Queen Beirong was from the Xia Kingdom!
Mu Nihuang didn't stay long. The fall of Beirong's royal court would definitely spread to the Beirong army on the front line.
Before the Beirong army returned, she led the army to escort a group of Beirong nobles back to Meiling.
She did not return to the Northland, but stopped at a pass connecting the Northland and Meiling.
The reason why we stopped was because Mei Changsu said: "This is Brother Lin's final resting place, and the Red Flame Army was also destroyed here."
Mu Nihuang stood on the pass city wall, waiting for the arrival of the Beirong army.
On the high ground of the city wall, a flag fluttered in the wind.
The flag is dyed blood red, with the word "Red Flame" written in dark black.
The surrounding soldiers from the North were in full formation, each with solemn and majestic looks, and full of blood.
When Mei Changsu saw this scene, these sergeants seemed to have the shadow of the Red Flame Army of the past, which made his eyes a little dazed and fell into memories.
The truth about Chiyan's destruction, which has puzzled the audience for a long time, is officially revealed at this moment——
After experiencing food accidents and equipment accidents, the Red Flame Army only has 15,000 fighting men.
This was the Red Flame Army's heaviest loss in many years of fighting.
It stands to reason that such a situation is enough to shake the morale of the military.
But the Red Flame Army did not, but it inspired an even stronger hatred for Beirong.
At that time, the Beirong army was huddled in Meiling. Meiling was in a dangerous location and could easily be ambushed. If they entered, they might suffer more losses.
Lin Shu, the young commander of the Red Flame Army, said rationally: "Father, withdraw. The days are long and we will make them pay the price they deserve."
Lin Xie was silent for a moment, then took out a secret decree and handed it to Lin Shu.
Lin Shu took it and took a look: Phoenix Nirvana, peace in the North for twenty years.
The hearts of the audience across the country were palpitating. This echoed the phrase "Phoenix Nirvana, Northland Yongchang" on Lin Shu's tombstone.
The only difference is that the former is from the 20th year of Taiping in Northland, and the latter is from Yongchang in Northland.
Some viewers felt a surge of emotion, as they seemed to understand the reason for Chiyan's destruction.
Emperor Liang wanted the Red Flame Army to fight a life-and-death battle with Beirong! A life-and-death battle in which the entire army would be annihilated!
At all costs, it would be best to exhaust Beirong in a direct battle.
This is the meaning of the secret decree "Phoenix Nirvana, Northland Peace for Twenty Years".
Some viewers interpret this with a heavy heart...
Emperor Liang: You can kill as many as you can. I want peace in the north for twenty years.
This is the result that Emperor Liang wanted, but how to achieve this result?
Fighting for a long time? We can't afford it. We just want to fight quickly.
And how did Emperor Liang achieve his goal of a quick victory and bring peace to the North for twenty years?
Tell Lin Xie and Lin Shu face to face, are you going to die?
As an emperor, how could Emperor Liang do things like this? What would happen if word spread?
Therefore, Emperor Liang, Xie Yu, and Xia Jiang blocked the Red Flame Army's retreat, and the ration and equipment cases occurred. They told Lin Xie and Lin Shu: You have no way out. Either you will fight to the death, or you will no longer have rations and equipment.
The country cannot afford supplies.
In the scene of the memory, from Mei Changsu's perspective, Lin Xie and Lin Shu, father and son, looked at each other. No resentment or discomfort could be seen, as if they were ready to put life and death aside.
They spread the news throughout the army and told all the sergeants: The army will attack Meiling. It does not matter whether they live or die. Those who dare not go, and those who do not want to go, stay and make their own choices.
No one chose to stay, and they were all ready to follow Lin Xie and Lin Shu into Meiling. This was the cohesion of the Red Flame Army.
Just like that, the last 15,000 Red Flame Army bloomed a tragic song of tragedy in Meiling.
Looking at the cruel war scene in the picture: the soldiers with arrows stuck in their bodies roared and brandished their bloody knives, the soldiers with broken arms still chopped down without knowing the pain, the soldiers with their legs cut off dragged the remains of their bodies and tore them apart with their mouths.
Bite, and countless loyal people used their bodies to block the flying arrows for Lin Xie and Lin Shu.
Xiao Xi covered her mouth, and like countless viewers across the country, she was frightened and tragic by such a brave and cruel scene.
I recall that when the Red Flame Army was in the reign of the late emperor, its peak of illustrious fame attracted the adulation of the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty.
But who would have thought that the Red Flame Army, which once had the reputation of being mighty, would end tragically due to political means?
The Chiyan Massacre is obviously suspicious, but how many officials have raised doubts about it?
For the sake of power and profit, each of them chose to forget this period of questionable history.
And what about the Red Flame Army?
The king wanted his ministers to die, but the ministers had to die. The Red Flame Army chose to be loyal to the king.
However, the land that has been protected for many years only has twenty years of peace?
The Red Flame Army was not satisfied, they said: Phoenix Nirvana, Northland Yongchang!!
They "disobeyed" Emperor Liang's secret order and used their own flesh and blood to inflict heavy losses on Beirong, even if they were exhausted.
However, the entire Daliang did not know what the Red Flame Army had done.
Daliang didn't know that when the Red Flame Army was destroyed, Beirong was also at the end of its strength. If Daliang sent another army to chase the remnants of Beirong, Beirong would be destroyed!
Unfortunately, Emperor Liang didn't know about it, Xie Yu only cared about power, Xia Jiang only wanted to restore the country, and all the civil and military officials in the dynasty focused on power.
How ironic this is, how sad this is!
"So angry!"
"Speechless."
"This court is useless! It makes me so angry!"
Audiences across the country were outraged and felt that the destruction of the Red Flame Army was not worth it.
However, true justice and peace, true loyalty, courage and love are often so silent.
Just like the ancestors during the Anti-Japanese War, just like the volunteers who came out of Northeast China, no one can remember a few names, but everyone knows where the peace today comes from, and that is enough.
It's just that the audience thinks what's worse about the Red Flame Army is that they fought outside to seek peace for the country, but the country betrayed this army.
This also confirms the saying: The peak is always accompanied by hypocritical support, and the dusk witnesses the loyal and brave apostle!
Under the dusk in Meiling, the flesh and blood remains of the Red Flame Army were scattered all over the earth. The orange-red glow seemed to be mixed with the blood and tears of the Red Flame Army, which made people cry.
Only the last apostle, Lin Shu, was still standing under the city gate, still blocking the enemy's advance with his body that looked very weak compared to the huge city gate.
Chu Xuan's body was in tatters, his face was covered with blood, and his hair was messy. Seven or eight arrows stuck in his body showed that he was scarred, and his intermittent breath showed that he was in a state of inactivity.
There was silence on the TV, no extra sound, no soundtrack.
Some were just Chu Xuan's breathing.
Audiences across the country watched, their faces looking calm, but their hearts were already full of mixed feelings.
Chu Xuan slowly raised his head and looked at the sunset in the sky.
Then, he laughed.
There is no regret in this smile. Death in battle is the fate of a soldier.
There is no complaint in this smile. Loyalty to the emperor is the belief of a minister.
There is no fear in this smile, only the enemy is afraid of them.
Some are just attachment to lovers and relatives, and the regret of not being able to see great peace in the country.
The eyes of many viewers across the country are already filled with tears. The tragic song of Red Flame Army is heartbreaking, the performance is shocking, and the composition is touching. The loyalty to the king, loyalty and courage, and boundless love that it promotes are even more touching.
Tears.
Just watch Chu Xuan look straight ahead at the Beirong enemies, and slowly lift up the handsome sword in his hand.
This is a sword that commands the Red Flame Army.
This is also a symbol of the soul of the Red Flame Army.
It's just that he is the only one left in the Red Flame Army. Who does he want to order?
Such a lonely move destined to have no one respond makes it even more tragic and sad.
The sword was lifted in the air and suddenly fell from his hand.
Chu Xuan fell to the ground, unable to lift the sword he used to command Chi Yan.
The memory scenes slowly faded out, and the main film scenes gradually appeared.
Enemies and bandits came from all over the country, and the sound of horse hooves resounded throughout the world.
The soldiers on the city wall were silent, staring at their enemies from afar.
The murderous aura is slowly gathering, and a collision between the two sides will soon break out.
Suddenly, the audience was shocked and inexplicably excited.
I saw Liu Yifei raising her sword, raising that handsome sword.
The sword that Chu Xuan could not lift was lifted by Liu Yifei.
Chu Xuan played a tragic song under the city gate, while Liu Yifei stood on the city gate and played a passionate melody.
Chu Xuan ended at dusk, and Liu Yifei began her journey under the shining sun.
The archers on the city gate, the spearmen under the city gate, and the cavalry on the left and right wings are always ready to listen to orders.
