After Fazheng finished speaking, Liu Cong began to think deeply. No one else spoke. They knew that the master was in pain at this time.
Although it was a great victory, in Maling City, the young rebel army composed of Han troops, county soldiers, and ordinary people numbered nearly 70,000, and now only 7,000 are left!
One out of ten, what a brutal battle this is!
"Lord, all the soldiers and young people who died in the battle have been registered, and no one has been missed. The injured soldiers have also been treated. Now, the corpses have been cleaned up, and the people have claimed some, and the rest are ready to be cremated. Then bury it, my lord, will you go and take a look?" After a moment, Huangfuhong said.
"Let's go see them off together!" Liu Cong said in a sad voice.
"No!"
"Inform all officials, generals and soldiers to send them off together!" Liu Cong added.
"No!"
Huangfuhong hurriedly passed on Liu Cong's order. When everyone walked out of Maling City, there was already a sea of ??people outside the city.
Beside a mountain not far from Maling City, the corpses of soldiers who died in battle were neatly placed here, densely packed and boundless.
The seven thousand surviving soldiers have already lined up here. In fact, before the order was conveyed, all officials from Beidi County rushed here, regardless of distance. Tens of thousands of people in the city, regardless of age or sex, all stood on the other side.
The bodies of the soldiers were surrounded by them.
Tens of thousands of people gathered together, but no one spoke. There was only the whistling of the wind in their ears.
Cai Yan and Xiao He also came here with a group of people from the prefect's mansion, following Liu Cong.
On the hillside next to it, there were also some old people, children and women. They found the bodies of their sons, husbands or fathers among the tens of thousands of corpses, dug a pit and prepared to bury them separately. A pile of dry firewood was set up next to the remaining bodies, ready to be cremated and then buried.
Liu Cong saw a woman in her fifties struggling to drag a body with a wooden board. The soldiers next to her wanted to help her, but she refused. She moved forward step by step. There was a small hole not far away, which she had obviously dug in advance. Every step she took left a mark on the sand, stained with blood.
Liu Cong walked over gently, and Fazheng and other officials also hurriedly followed.
When the old woman saw Liu Cong, she hurriedly knelt down to salute. Liu Cong quickly stretched out his hand to help the old woman.
¡°Old people don¡¯t have to be like this!¡±
"The common people thanked the prince"
"Old man, is this your son?" Liu Cong asked.
Judging from the clothes and armor on the body, this person should have been a county soldier in Beidi County.
"He is the youngest son of Cao Min. He is twenty-five years old this year."
"Thenis there anyone else in your family?"
"No more" The old woman shook her head and looked at Liu Cong and the officials.
Liu Cong found that this old woman was considered strong. There was not much pain, sadness, or tears on her face.
"Old man, did all your family members die in this battle?"
"No!" The old woman thought for a moment, "My husband was a hunter. One time when he was hunting, he encountered Huns soldiers heading south and was killed. I have three sons, but out of desperation, they all served as soldiers to feed themselves. The eldest son and The Qiang people fought and died. The second son fought with Beigong Boyu's rebels and died! When they died, my old woman was in pain and cried, shedding many tears."
The old woman seemed to be remembering the past, with a sad expression on her face.
Liu Cong wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he didn't know how to speak.
"My youngest son, San'er, died in the battle a few days ago. My old lady didn't cry because his death was worth it!" The old woman's voice became louder, "Fighting for the King of Han, the Huns fought, and we, the common people, were protected. Ah! So many people were killed by the Han army at the top of the city, but they refused to retreat. Why, just because if we retreated, the Xiongnu's scimitars would hit us common people. San'er was only responsible for patrolling in the city. I asked him to go to the top of the city. Others died fighting for the people of Beidi County. He was also a soldier and a native of Beidi County. How could he hide behind it. When the Huns soldiers went south, if there were King Han, with today¡¯s Han army, his father will not die!¡±
"Old man, the imperial court is ashamed of you and the people of Beidi County!"
"King of Han, I'm sorry for you" The old woman saluted Liu Cong, "I'm so happy today! His father's revenge was avenged by the third son. I heard the military master say"San'er killed three Xiongnu soldiers and performed a great service. The King of Han sent me food and money, enough for my old woman to eat"
After the old woman finished speaking, she slowly put the body of her youngest son into the pit.
Liu Cong stood at a higher position, looked at the solemn crowd, and said loudly:
"My brave warriors and the people of Beidi County, everyone lying here today is our hero, and we must always remember them. It was they who blocked the Huns' cavalry with their lives and allowed Liu Bao to attack here. Defeated. From now on, the Huns soldiers will never go south again. Even if decades or hundreds of years pass, they will not dare to go south. When we mention our Han army, all foreigners will be frightened!"
"The Han army is invincible!"
"Long live the Han army!"
"Long live the King of Han!"
A sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami sounded.
Liu Cong waved his hand, and the shouting stopped abruptly.
"We will not forget them, nor will we forget their families. Their parents and the government will take care of them until they die, and the children will be raised by the government. The injured will be cured, and the disabled will ensure that they have food and drink. We will never let anyone suffer from cold or hunger!¡±
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
All the people, officials and soldiers knelt down.
"Everyone, please get up quickly!" Liu Cong burst into tears.
"These soldiers sacrificed their lives, and Liu Cong felt that what he promised was just to protect his family's life, which was insignificant at all. But he didn't expect these people to be so grateful.
Who said people in this era are numb? How simple they are! During these days of fighting against the Huns, they cleaned up the city and treated the wounded. At the most critical moment, they actually organized more than 20,000 rebels. They were able to defend Maling City. They were indispensable!
"Let us bid farewell to our heroes and let them rest in peace!"
After Liu Cong finished speaking, Huangfuhong ordered the soldiers' bodies to be carried to the pyre and then lit.
After cremation, fill the pit with sand.
At this time, many people came over, some holding furniture, some using their hands, and also helping to fill the landfill.
About an hour later, a new hill appeared here.
"My brave warriors of the Han Dynasty, rest in peace!" Liu Cong said to himself, "One general's achievements can lead to the death of thousands of bones!"
