Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 788

The next day, under Qingji's order, the bodies of all the dead soldiers of the enemy and our armies were gathered and burned.

All the ashes of the Persians were dug and buried, while the bones of the soldiers who died in the battle of the Chinese Allied Forces were put into jars and brought back after identifying their identities, and handed over to their families for proper burial.

The heads of the more than 11 Persian soldiers were piled up like a mountain in Beijing, and they were displayed on the north bank of Duanshui, in order to deter those foreigners who coveted China and Wu.

As for those Persian prisoners of war with more than 10 people, there are temporarily uncountable weapons and supplies, which will be divided up by the princes.

The operator is naturally Qing Ji.

In order to act as a deterrent and to comfort the souls of the dead, Qingji also specially ordered people to build an altar on the north bank of Jiduanshui, next to the Jingguan, and personally sacrificed to express condolences to all the soldiers of the Chinese Allied Forces who died.

"woo woo woo woo--"

The dull and solemn horn sounded, brightening the entire wilderness.

Frost, cold and dew are heavy, and the wind is blowing.

On the north bank of Jiduanshui, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Chinese Allied Forces stood there with their heads held high, forming several phalanxes.

For a while, the sky was covered with banners and spears were like forests.

The soldiers in each phalanx have different colors of battle clothes and banners.

Standing at the front are a large number of soldiers from the Wu Kingdom.

Including Yiqumo, Tianqi, Zihu and other Chinese countries, the officials and their monarchs of the eight countries of Xirong, as well as the monarchs of the Western Regions, all stood under the altar at this moment, with solemn expressions, and all of them were meticulous. look.

When the horn sounded, Qingji, who was wearing a black red-striped crown suit and a flat sky crown on his head, held the Longyuan sword in one hand, walked along the red carpet, and walked towards the altar step by step.

This altar is a temporary structure, not high, but it has nineteen levels.

On the altar, an incense table has already been set up, offerings are laid out, 49 lamps are displayed, flags are raised to call out the spirits, and three animals, pig's head, cow's head and sheep's head, are displayed on the ground.

When Qingji walked up to the altar and knelt down on one side of the incense table, the sound of horns resounded throughout the sky before it stopped.

On the incense table, there are sacrificial vessels and a tripod of beans (soybeans), with green smoke curling up.

However, no matter what, it couldn't cover up the smell of blood rising from the sky and the smell of rotten flesh...

Because not far away is the Jingguan piled up with Persian heads.

"kneel!"

Accompanied by a proclamation, the four sides of the altar, no matter what status they were generals, kings, ministers or soldiers, all knelt down in unison, with solemn and solemn expressions on their faces.

"My king, ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand years!"

All the soldiers belonging to the state of Wu shouted.

"Fan Li, the ceremonial official, read out the sacrificial text!"

There was another proclamation, and Fan Li, dressed in black court attire, wearing a ceremonial crown, and holding a scarlet sacrificial oration, solemnly stepped onto the altar and came to Qingji's side.

After receiving Qingji's instruction, Fan Li opened the sacrificial text and read aloud according to the content inside.

"The spring of the 21st year of Wei Wang Qingji, on the 29th day of the first lunar month—"

"There is a king of the state of Wu who celebrates the taboo and presents the sacrificial ceremony, and enjoys the death of the king. The heroic souls of the Chinese soldiers and soldiers who died said: I am a big country, and the power is better than the five tyrants, and the Ming Dynasty succeeds the three kings."

"Yesterday, they invaded the territory from afar, and soldiers from different customs rose up; they stalked their tails to revive the monsters, and stole the hearts of wolves to cause chaos."

"Following the mandate of heaven, I will ask the sinners and desolate people; I will make a big move to wipe out the ants; when the army gathers, the wild bandits will disappear; only when I hear the sound of breaking bamboo, I will lose the momentum of the ape."

"But the soldiers and soldiers are all heroes of Kyushu; the bureaucrats and generals are all heroes of the world: they practice martial arts and join the army, and they serve the masters of the Ming Dynasty. They all apply for three orders and show seven captures in total; Qi firmly serves the sincerity of the country and is loyal to the ambition of the king!"

"When did you accidentally lose your military opportunity, and you fell into a treacherous scheme: or you were hit by the arrows, and your soul hid the fountain; The captive will arrive."

"You heroes are still alive, and you must hear when you pray: Follow my banner, follow my trilogy, and return to the country together, each recognize their hometown, receive the steaming of their own flesh and blood, and lead the sacrifices of their families; don't be a ghost from a foreign land, just a foreign land. soul..."

An eloquent sacrificial text, full of sacred feeling.

The soldiers kneeling on the ground couldn't help choking up and wiping away tears, feeling very sad.

Because the soldiers who died in the Western Regions were all their robes, why don't you feel sad when the rabbit dies and the fox dies?
Qingji stood up slowly, grabbed a handful of soybeans in the small cauldron, let it slip from his fingers, and flew with the wind.

"If you come together, you will go back together."

"go home!"

Qingji's long roar also brought a successful end to this war.

Immediately, Qingji set his eyes on Sun Wu, the captain of the state, and said slowly, "Sun Wu."

"Chen is here!"

"Order people to erect a stone tablet on the side of the Jingguan, and write a letter: The four quarters of the barbarians, whoever dares to commit crimes, will perish their country, destroy their species, and exterminate their seedlings!"

"promise!"

Sun Wu solemnly agreed.

Qingji wanted to use this stele to frighten the barbarians outside the Great Wall. The Western Regions belonged to the Wu Kingdom, and anyone who dared to invade would suffer a terrible end.

……

The time has entered the 21th year of Wu Wang Qingji, that is, 493 BC, the third month of the lunar calendar.

After traveling all the way, Qingji finally returned to Jinling.

However, there are many things waiting for Qingji to solve.

According to the usual practice, Qingji held a grand court meeting in Fengtian Hall, and all officials with a rank of six hundred or more were required to attend.

Dazai Jiran was the first to go out and said: "Your Majesty, in the battle against Bashu last year, Ba, Chong, Xiyan, and Pingzhou were all destroyed by our Wu Kingdom."

"I thought that we could set up a county in its place and make it the No. 20 county in our country of Wu!"

"good."

Qing Ji slightly nodded and said: "Zhi Ba County, Wu Xi will be the governor of Ba County."

"Confer Wu Xi the title of General of Zhenxi, with the rank of governor of most of the capital, commanding [-] troops, stationed in Jiangzhou, and at the same time controlling the armies of Bajun, Nanyang, and Nanjun!"

"Your Majesty Yingming!"

All the ministers agreed and expressed no objection.

However, they were not optimistic about Qingji's entrusting Young Master Xi with a heavy responsibility.

Berkshire, Nanjun, and Nanyang County, the combined garrisons of these three counties are probably not less than [-], and this is just a standing army.

If Gong Zixi has a different intention, supports his own troops, and wants to separate himself, Wu will have difficulty coping with it at that time.

However, Qingji's deployment was clearly aimed at the Kingdom of Shu.

Now the territory of Wu State is vast, and there are many places that need to be garrisoned.

The land of Shu is too far away from the mainland of Wu. It would be time-consuming and labor-intensive to dispatch troops from Jinling, but at least the transportation of food, fodder and supplies would definitely be a big problem.

Qing Ji couldn't trust the other generals too much.

Gong Zixi is different.

At least if Qing Ji is still alive, Gong Zixi will not rebel, and he doesn't have that kind of foundation.
