The place where the commander of the Han army marched.
At this time, the entire city was solemn.
One by one, Han soldiers carried coffins and coffins and solemnly walked into the city.
The residents of Taiyuan stood on both sides of the street, watching the return of these heroes.
"Unexpectedly, the losses of Zhidu's troops were so great..." Zhou Yafu stood on the top of the city and looked at the coffins covered with black dragon flags.
Those who are qualified to cover the coffin with the black dragon flag that symbolizes the Han family are naturally senior military officers.
At the very least, it is above the team rate.
But now, there are hundreds of these coffins!
In other words, Zhidu's army was disabled.
More than half of the senior officers were killed in the battle, causing Zhidu's troops to have completely lost their combat effectiveness.
In addition to the loss of officers, the number of soldiers killed in battle was also ridiculously high.
Almost two-thirds of Ba Shang's army was lost.
More than half of the Thorny Gate Army was lost!
Even Mo Dao soldiers lost more than one-third.
A quarter of the crossbowmen were lost.
Even the Zhongyong Army lost more than a quarter of its troops.
This is why the Han family’s military medical team is so awesome!
They resuscitated at least 800 seriously injured people who would have died, and also allowed more than 2,000 injured people to receive proper treatment.
Such terrible battle losses have never been seen before in the history of the Han Dynasty!
Even when Chu and Han were fighting for hegemony, Gaozu was defeated in Pengcheng.
It has never been so miserable!
Probably, only the tragic situation of the Battle of Haixia can be compared with the Battle of Heyin.
However, even if the losses are so high, but...
This army has not been defeated!
instead……
Be more brave!
The soldiers carrying the coffins were returning to the Great Wall to repair Zhidu headquarters.
Originally, Zhou Yafu proposed to let Taiyuan County soldiers carry the coffin.
However, the soldiers under Zhidu's command refused.
According to them, we want to send these heroic spirits back to their hometowns. This is our duty and mission!
"Mr. Wang, this time, your family has been sacrificed again..." Zhou Yafu turned around and looked at an old man beside him. This was an old man who was nearly ninety years old. He was leaning on his crutches slightly tremblingly, looking at
The coffins were covered with black dragon flags.
Among these coffins, four belong to his great-grandson.
"Wang, when Emperor Meng Gao refused to give up, he was promised an official title and served the Han family for generations. This is your duty!" The old man looked at the coffins and said seriously: "I am ninety years old. I have seven sons and five sons.
It’s a royal matter! There are more than twenty grandchildren, and thirteen people have died. It’s a royal matter! Now four more great-grandsons have died for Your Majesty. This is the pride of my Wang family!”
The Wang family in Taiyuan is a large family that has been passed down for hundreds of years.
This old man is even more remarkable.
His father was the famous Qin general Wang Li who committed suicide in the Battle of Julu!
After Wang Li's defeat, his descendants were scattered. Among them, the old man's branch returned to his ancestral land in Taiyuan.
Since the rise of the Han Dynasty, the Wang family has shed all their blood for the Liu family.
That year, Emperor Taizong returned to Jinyang, and the Wang family was on the banquet list.
After Jinshang ascended the throne, he heard about the Wang family and even issued an order to select a girl from the Wang family as his concubine.
However, the head of the Wang family rejected it.
In fact, if the Wang family wanted to cling to the Liu family, they could have done so as early as Taizong.
However, it may be because of the events of the Qin Dynasty that year, the Wang family kept a respectful distance from the imperial family and did not want to get involved in that whirlpool.
Looking at this old man, Zhou Yafu couldn't help but feel respect in his heart.
He held up his hands to the old man and said: "Sir, if there is any difficulty in the future, you can always send someone to Chang'an to find me..."
The old man just smiled.
He raised the crutch in his hand and said: "I am already dying. I will be very satisfied to see Master Wang again and regain the Nine Plains in my lifetime!"
For him, Jiuyuan is not only a hometown, but also his hometown.
He was born in Yulinsai.
His father was guarding Yulinsai on the orders of the First Emperor.
In Jiuyuan, Yulin and Gaoque, the footprints of his father and brother and his presence have been left.
As a prominent family in the Qin State at that time, it was a famous family.
The old man knows many secrets and inside stories that others don't know.
Was the Qin Empire's demise really just because Zhao Gaolisi betrayed the empire?
Could it be that Zhao Gaolisi alone could destroy the empire that once was at its peak and looked down upon the world?
The fact is that there is far more than just one Zhao Gaolisi who betrayed the empire for his own selfish desires.
Otherwise, it should be the young master Fusu who ascends the throne, not Hu Hai, the loser and idiot that everyone can see at a glance!
In the final analysis, everyone was afraid that Fusu would become the second First Emperor.
Everyone was extremely scared and trembling.
Some people also feel that supporting Fusu may not necessarily bring benefits, but supporting Hu Hai will certainly bring benefits.
After all, Hu Hai is so stupid, so naive, so foolish, and so easy to fool!
As a result, Fusu and Mengtian were betrayed and abandoned!
Do you really think that Fusu and Mengtian committed suicide by themselves?
If he was really that stupid, the First Emperor would not like Fusu, let alone hand over the Great Wall Corps to Meng Tian.
The old man always remembers what his father said to him before he died.
"Hate, I hate it so much!"
"I deserve all these things..."
Therefore, within the Wang family, under the education of this old man, so many descendants emerged who worked hard and did not care about their own lives.
Are they really all warlike?
To be honest, today's Wang family can actually switch to a civil service position or simply stay at home and enjoy peace.
The truth is they are just atoning for their sins.
To atone for the sins committed by ancestors.
One day Yulinsai was still in the hands of the Huns, one day Jiuyuan City was still under rubble, and one day Gaoque City was not owned by China.
Their sins will not be wiped away.
However, this decades-long journey of redemption seems to be coming to an end.
The Wang family once made a wrong decision, which led to a series of changes that the Wang family has regretted for hundreds of years.
And today, all these mistakes are about to be corrected.
History has finally returned to its starting point.
This made the old man very happy.
Finally... I can finally have the face to go to Jiuquan to see my father, my eldest brother, and those uncles from the Great Wall Legion who never die in peace!
"Please, Prime Minister, take this old man's place and say hello to Your Majesty..." The old man walked slowly down the city, leaning on a cane and supported by his family.
He is going to welcome his grandson back.
They are all good men.
The old man still remembers how they looked before they joined the army. They were just as confident and energetic as the uncles he had seen in Yulin Seri back then...
"The dew on the grass is so beautiful. The dew will fall again in the Ming Dynasty. When will people return after death?" A low and sad elegy slowly sounded.
Zhou Yafu looked at the old man and sighed: "This is an elder with a story..." (To be continued.)
