Chapter 106: Loyalty (Subscription Request)
Humen Gorge.
The canyon was littered with bodies of officers and soldiers.
Blood, flesh and body parts were scattered everywhere, dyeing the canyon a horrible color.
The shouting and screaming from the front has faded away.
The officers and soldiers behind only dared to enter the canyon at this time.
Everywhere they looked were piles of corpses half a person's height, blocking their way.
When they got closer and saw the huge body lying on the ground, trampled to the point where it was unbearable to look at, their pupils shrank.
Several people quickly stepped forward and turned over the body.
After turning it over and confirming that it was the body of the General of Chariots and Cavalry, the officers and soldiers were so shocked that their mouths trembled and they could not utter a word.
The General of Chariots and Cavalry who suppressed the Tianxing Rebellion here for several years is dead!
Looking further ahead, among the pile of corpses, there was the body of a lieutenant general with his head trampled to pieces.
The officers and soldiers here were silent for a while.
No one dared to mention the pursuit outside the canyon.
Humen Gorge, exit.
Lu Yuan slowly followed the soldiers who had rushed out first and walked out.
What comes into view is a vast area.
In the canyon passage, nearly three thousand officers and soldiers were only thinking about escaping, and most of them were killed.
A few of them had already escaped, but it was too far to chase them.
He jumped onto the horse led by a soldier and, with the group of soldiers behind him, slowly walked towards the wide area.
That night.
The bright moon and stars hang in the night sky at the same time.
The light shines on the earth.
Even in places without bonfires, it was still bright.
A small stream is flowing beside.
The moonlight shines on the grass beside, which looks a little dark green in the night.
Not far from the stream, a huge bonfire was burning.
Nearly two thousand soldiers lined up, holding bowls in both hands, and bowed to toast the brigade commander who was sitting on a stone with excited faces.
These wines were provided by wealthy businessmen in Shilin County.
Before this, they had to hurry on their journey in order to deal with possible imperial officials and soldiers who might appear.
All the wine was carried by horses, so they had no chance to drink it.
Now, they are about to reach the territory of Tianxing Army. More than two thousand officers and soldiers behind them have been killed, and they dare not come to pursue them.
They are completely safe now.
Therefore, today, under the order of the brigade commander, everyone should eat big chunks of meat and drink big bowls of wine!
A soldier, bent his body, lowered his head even lower than the road he was sitting on, and swore with a fanatical look on his face:
"Master Marshal! I will follow you wherever you are! Even if you want me to die, I can cut off my head on the spot!!"
He clinked the bowl with Lu Yuan, then tilted his head back and drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.
He was originally a refugee.
Under Zhao Hu's command, he had his food withheld and had a hard time making ends meet, and he managed to survive with great difficulty.
After I got the military commander's help and killed Zhao Hu, I almost never went hungry again.
The brigade commander is extremely brave and always charges at the forefront.
From Youzhou to Yunzhou and then to Muzhou, they encountered countless soldiers and bandits in the three states. It can be said that it was only because of the bravery of the brigade commander that they were able to arrive here alive.
Sir, the brigade commander hacked and killed all the way, and all the enemy generals and the bandit leader were killed. In his eyes, this was more godly than the god himself!
His life will only be handed over to the brigade commander!
It can only be handed over to the brigade commander! He doesn't recognize the king of the Tianxing Army!
No matter who it is, no one can command him unless the brigade commander gives the order!
Lu Yuan saw the fanaticism in the eyes of the bowing soldier.
He took the cup, took a sip of wine, and nodded to the soldier.
The soldier's face was filled with joy, and he kept bowing. He finally retreated after being pulled away by the people behind him.
At this moment, he was extremely happy!!
Brigade Commander, nod at him!
And, he drank the wine in the glass!
You know, Sir Brigade Commander, you only toasted with the six sergeants before!
And now, I had a drink with him!
That doesn't mean that he has been recognized by the Brigade Commander and has become his true personal soldier!
Thinking of this, he was so excited that he almost trembled.
Those who had already toasted all had an annoyed expression on their faces.
Why didn’t they think of it!
Although they had already agreed with the other party's statement in their hearts, they had also made up their minds to follow the brigade commander.
But they really didn’t think of saying it out loud!!
If they were as thick-skinned as this guy and spoke out their true feelings, the brigade commander would definitely remember it!
Thinking of this, some people were so angry that they wanted to stamp their feet.
You shouldn't be an honest person!!
If they were not afraid of displeasing the Brigadier General, they really wanted to line up again, toast him with another glass of wine, and speak out loudly their loyalty to him!
At this time, the person who was toasting next bowed and said in a loud voice:
"In this life, I only recognize the Marshal. He is just like my parents. If anyone wants me to not recognize my parents, I will kill him!!"
After saying this, he clinked glasses with the brigade commander and almost ate the bowl in one gulp.
Then he waved the empty bowl in front of Lu Yuan in a foolish manner.
Lu Yuan looked at the man and nodded with satisfaction.
He took a sip of the wine in the glass.
Although this person is simple-minded, he is sincere. This glass of wine must be drunk with him.
The foolish man was about to say something else when he was pulled away by someone behind him.
At this time, a tall and strong man, before even proposing a toast, shouted out loudly, almost like a slogan:
"Master Marshal! I lost my father when I was young. From now on, you are my father! Master Marshal, even if you want your son to go through fire and water, your son will not hesitate!
If the Marshal asks me to kill someone, I will tear out his heart and give it to him!!”
The sound spread throughout the campfire, and some thin-skinned soldiers nearby blushed.
Is this the way to flatter someone?
It’s fine that the previous one said he looked like his parents, but this one directly acknowledged him as his father!
The brigade commander is even younger than this guy!
How dare he!
Will this make the brigade commander unhappy? It's like flattering someone but it's actually hitting the horse's leg!
Just as they were thinking this.
But the brigade commander smiled and nodded, clinked glasses with the other party, and took a big sip.
This immediately silenced the blushing people nearby.
Everyone swore in their hearts!
In order to leave a good impression on the brigade commander, I will never be an honest person again! !
Lu Yuan smiled and nodded. Although what this person said was a bit exaggerated, it was obvious that he meant it sincerely.
Since the other party was so loyal to him, he naturally treated him with a smile.
The soldiers bowed and toasted, expressing their sincere gratitude to Lu Yuan.
As time went on, things became more and more outrageous.
Some said they wanted to charge into the Tianxing Army, and some said they wanted to capture that Wang and force him to give up his position as the brigade commander.
The sound was heard a mile away and echoed for a long time in this empty space.
Lu Yuan kept nodding and accepting with a smile.
