Horse on the World

Chapter 334
Li Qing categorically rejected the suggestions of his generals and insisted on going to pay homage to Bayar. This made Lu Dabing, Guo Shanfeng and others worry. After discussing for a while, Guo Shanfeng, who was in charge of Bayan Hara's safety, went in person. After visiting Boyan, the next day, [-] soldiers of the Yishan Division appeared at the memorial site. They came in in the name of maintaining order, led by Jiang Heiniu.Jiang Heiniu arranged these soldiers around Bayar's mourning hall. They seemed scattered, but in fact, if something happened, they could gather in one place in an instant and escort Li Qing to kill the general. On the periphery, Master Lu and Qi Nian The troops of the division are assembled in the battalion, and if there is a change, they can be rushed to the scene in the shortest time.

The wind is very strong, the sky is very low, the thick clouds seem to be pressed down heavily, making people breathless, the wind blows and the clouds move, it seems that heavy rain will fall at any time, outside the city, hundreds of horns blow at the same time The dull drum sounded slowly, and after a while, there was a thud, which was sandwiched between the horns, adding to the sense of desolation and grief.Bayar's Memorial Assembly has officially begun.

In the city of Bayan Har, the barbarian people who could not be present in person walked out of their houses sobbing, holding a stick of incense, and knelt down on both sides of the street, and some even set up incense tables to offer three animals.The patrol team of Yishan Division soldiers walked slowly through the street vigilantly, and on the city wall, it was like an enemy.

Li Qing only brought Tang Hu, Iron Leopard and a dozen other guards with him, and at this moment he rode his horse out of the gate of Bayan Har city.Run towards the memorial site.Iron Leopard was the Dingzhou soldier who recognized his father before the battle. Since then, the 32 soldiers who violated discipline at that time often charged forward. After the battle, only eight survived. All three soldiers were transferred to his side as bodyguards.

"Marshal, Bayar is our enemy. We defeated them. We are the winners. Why should we treat them with such courtesy?" Iron Leopard asked inexplicably. He had a deep hatred for the barbarians. His father I have been a slave to the barbarians for many years, and I have suffered a lot, and because of the barbarians, Iron Leopard lost his family and his family. He grew up eating and wearing all kinds of clothes, and defeated them. In Iron Leopard's heart, this He could take revenge at once, but after entering the city, he found out that it was not the case. The commander-in-chief issued a death order, and he was not allowed to coax the local barbarians, otherwise he would be executed without mercy.This disappointed the Excited Subway Leopard.

Hearing Iron Leopard's question, and looking at the dozens of accompanying guards who all had the same question in their eyes, Li Qing reined in his horse and asked, "Iron Leopard, do all the soldiers in the army have this idea?"

Iron Leopard nodded, "Yes, Commander, the soldiers are very dissatisfied, most of us have hatred against the barbarians!"

Li Qing suddenly found himself ignoring this issue. Soldiers are the foundation of the rise of Dingzhou, and most of the soldiers in Dingzhou have more or less deep hatred with the barbarians. It seems that an educational campaign must be carried out in the army to let the soldiers Understand that if you want long-term peace and stability, then you must turn hostility into friendship with the barbarians.

"Iron Leopard, we won, right?" Li Qing asked.

"Yes, Marshal, it is precisely because of this that we don't understand that the barbarians won battles in the past, but they didn't treat us like this." Iron Leopard said.

"The barbarians have never defeated us." Li Qing smiled, "And now, we have defeated their royal court. From then on, the barbarians have been under the rule of your commander. Let me ask you, the barbarians are still counting 10 Ten thousand people, can we kill them all?"

Iron Leopard was slightly taken aback, "No!"

"Yes, we can't kill them all. The barbarians will exist under our rule. If we don't treat them well, they will rise up and resist. You hope that the grassland will be full of fire, and our soldiers are exhausted. Hunt them down? Kill them or be killed by them?"

Iron Leopard shook his head. After the victory, what soldiers look forward to the most is to return home to reunite with their families, and share the fruits of victory with their loved ones with the commander's reward.

"Look, everyone doesn't want to fight anymore, that's why I want to avoid the barbarians." Li Qing laughed, talking about Dingzhou's long-term strategy with Iron Leopard, that's all he can say The most obvious thing, "In the future, the barbarians will become the people under my rule just like you, Iron Leopard, maybe one day, the barbarians among them will become your comrades-in-arms! As a winner, forgiveness is a It is a virtue. At this time, forgiveness is a better method than killing. You will follow me in the future and read more books, and you will understand this truth."

Iron Leopard shook his head in confusion. Li Qing said that he seemed to understand, but he was still excited. Being by the side of the commander had many benefits, not only the improvement of his own status, but also the ability to read and write. Iron Leopard knew that, In the end, most of the personal guards around the commander-in-chief became generals in the army, and maybe one day, he could become one of these generals.

"I listen to the commander!" Iron Leopard hummed authentically.

Tang Hu slammed his horsewhip on Iron Leopard's head, and scolded with a smile: "You silly boy, of course you have to listen to the Commander. The Commander has known 500 years before and 500 years later, how could he be wrong?" Iron Leopard His mind shrank, Tang Hu was very good at dealing with people, and he didn't have the slightest airs among the personal guards, but when he got angry, the person in charge was Yi Yi, so although Tang Hu didn't deliberately do anything, the personal guards were all very afraid of him. he.

Li Qing laughed loudly, "I know 500 years before and after? Huzi, do you think I'm a thousand-year-old demon?"

Everyone laughed.

While speaking, the memorial site had already arrived. Knowing that Li Qing was coming, Boyan, Sushun, Nuo Qi'a and other barbarian nobles were all at the entrance, so Li Qing got off his horse and walked towards them.

Boyan and the others stroked their chests with their left hands, and bent down deeply.

"You don't need to be too polite, just take me in!" Li Qing waved his hand and said.

"Marshal Li, please!" Boyan stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, letting Li Qing go first.

At this time, the memorial site was already crowded with people, leaving only a passage about several meters wide, and the soldiers of the Yishan Division standing upright with spears in their hands. From the eyes of everyone on both sides of the passage, Li Qing could see the burning anger.Smiling slightly, Li Qing could just take the lead, Tang Hu took a step forward and followed Li Qing's side one step away, while Boyan and others accompanied Li Qing.Behind, Iron Leopard and the others held the handle of the knife nervously, striding to follow.

At the end of the passage, a huge golden tent stood upright, and Bayar's coffin was placed in this golden tent. When he walked to the door of the golden tent, Li Qing turned his head and said, "Huzi, you and Iron Leopard will Stay outside, I will go in to pay homage to His Majesty Bayar."

"This is impossible!" Tang Hu stared at his one-eyed, and said: "General Guo, General Lu Qian Qian, Wan Wan, so that I can't take a step away from the commander-in-chief."

Li Qing said angrily: "Are you listening to them or to me? When you become an official, you will also become more courageous?"

As soon as Li Qing got angry, Tang Hu became a little sluggish, lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "Marshal, Master Shang is coming, if I don't follow you closely, Master Shang will beat me again!"

Li Qing was annoyed and funny when he heard it. When Ganqing was in Chongxian County, the board that Shang Haibo gave him and Yang Yidao made him remember so deeply, and he said with a straight face: "What nonsense, you are now a general, Mr. Shang How can I hit you casually?"

"That might be!" Tang Hu muttered, in Dingzhou, Tang Hu was not afraid of Li Qing the most, he respected Li Qing more, but he was afraid of Shang Haibo and Qingfeng.

"Shut up, you bastard!" Li Qingzhen was a little angry, looked at Boyan, but saw a flash of light in Boyan's eyes, and saw herself looking over, but disappeared.

"My lord Boyan, you are laughing at me as a single-minded guard!" Li Qing said in embarrassment.

Boyan said calmly: "General Tang is innocent and loyal, this is the commander's blessing!" Although it was only a few short sentences, Boyan learned too much information from it.

Li Qing glared at Tang Hu, strode into the tent, Tang Hu took a step, and finally stopped, just tilted his ears, listening to the movement in the tent.

Inside the golden tent, cigarettes were curling up. On both sides of a huge brazier, Neve and Nuoqia, dressed in linen and filial piety, were burning paper. On both sides of the coffin, Bayar's main wife and side concubines were sitting. There, they were sobbing, and when they saw Li Qing coming in, they all stood up nervously.

Standing in front of the coffin, Nuoqia and Nafu turned around, knelt down and saluted Li Qing. Originally, this kind of thing should be done by the sons, but both of Bayar's sons died in the battle with Dingzhou. In the midst of the war, it can only be replaced by the son-in-law and daughter.

"Please stand up, both of you!" Li Qing took a step forward and helped them up, "His Majesty Bayar passed away unfortunately, and Li Qing was very sad in his heart. Please pass on your condolences!"

Li Qing saluted Bayar's widows, and several women hurriedly returned the salute. Neveu raised his head, but a gleam of hatred flashed in his eyes. He didn't pay attention, but Boyan beside him looked straight, with a worried look in his eyes.

Reaching out his hand to take the three sticks of incense from Boyan, lit it, and inserted it into the incense burner in front of the coffin, Li Qing solemnly bowed to Bayar three times, then walked into the coffin, watching Bayar pass by With a repaired An Xiang face, he sighed: "The voice is still there, but the majestic style is gone. Li Qing can't be friends with His Majesty in this life, but they are enemies with each other and kill each other endlessly. This is the regret of Li Qing's life."

Listening to Li Qing's eulogy, Boyan couldn't help being moved by the low sobbing sound coming from the tent. Based on his experience, he could naturally hear that Li Qing's words were indeed from the heart and with feelings.

Li Qing turned to Boyan and said: "Master Boyan, the grievance between me and Your Majesty is a national enmity rather than a personal one. Although Your Majesty is gone, I believe he still hopes that his people can live happily, right?"

"Yes!" Boyan bowed and said, "When His Majesty was about to leave, he had made an explanation, and I hope Li Shuai can remember the promise he made to His Majesty!"

Li Qing nodded, turned to look at Bayar, and said loudly: "Your Majesty Bayar, my promise to you will always be valid. From now on, the grassland people will become my subjects under Li Qing's rule, and they will enjoy the same benefits as the people of Dingzhou. In front of your spirit, Li Qing swears that if he violates this promise, Li Qing will be pierced by thousands of arrows and die!"

Boyan was moved, and bowed deeply, "Thank you, Marshal Li, from now on, I, the grassland family, please take care of me!"

Li Qing nodded slightly, walked to the coffin, bowed deeply again to salute, then turned around and strode out of the tent.
