The queen mother wants to go against the sky: General, please take your seat

Chapter 718 Anger is followed by Sadness
Mo Sangqing rode his horse into Futu Pass, and before he could take a look at the people kneeling on the ground, Gu Wei shouted at him: "Young General!"

Gu Wei looked sad and indignant, he didn't look like he had won a battle.

Mo Sangqing didn't ask much, just said: "You lead the way."

Gu Wei took Mo Sangqing to the Futuguan Guard General's Mansion, which is also in front of the Qiu Mansion.

The air in the open space was stench. Two piles of corpses nearly two meters high were piled up on both sides of a flagpole.

"Major General," several generals who had already arrived in the open space saw their own Major General arriving, and rushed forward to meet him.

Mo Sangqing got off his horse, all the officers and soldiers covered their mouths and noses with thick scarves in the open space, the common people stood far away and did not approach.

Qiu Yue stood in front of the flagpole in a daze, the stench of corpses lingered in his nostrils, but Young General Qiu didn't seem to be able to smell the smell.

Mo Sangqing stood beside Qiu Yue, and shook his hand at Ai Jiu, but did not take the thick towel that Ai Jiu handed over to cover bad breath.

"How many dead people are there?" Qiu Yue asked Mo Sangqing.

Mo Sangqing whispered: "The barbarians in this city are all dead." No need for the ancient captains to tell him, seeing the pile of corpses in the open space, General Mo knew that his subordinates would not spare any barbarians in the city of.

Qiu Yue fell silent again, he couldn't cry even if he wanted to cry now.

Mo Sangqing went to the flagpole and dug the blood-soaked ground under the flagpole with a saber.

Ai Jiu wanted to bring his guards forward to help, but they didn't have any suitable tools, so they untied their sabers one after another, planning to use the saber as a shovel just like his own major general.

"No need," Mo Sangqing waved at Ai Jiu and said, "I'll do it."

The blood-red soil was dug up, a pig's corpse was dug out, followed by a dog's corpse, and finally General Mo dug up General Qiu's body from the ground by himself.

Qiu Yue, who had been standing still, saw the corpse in Mo Sangqing's arms, and then he came back to his soul, and ran to the flagpole, reaching out to pick up the rotting corpse.

Mo Sangqing handed over the body to his friend, and took a step back, behind Qiu Yue.

"Pig and dog," You Gu Wei rubbed his eyes fiercely, gritted his teeth and scolded, "I call him the ancestor of the Iron Wooden Pagoda!"

By burying the corpses of General Qiu and the pigs and dogs together, next to the corpses of the civilians who were originally guarded by General Yin, the barbarians are trying to prevent General Qiu from being reborn forever, and there will be no peace!
No one spoke in the open space, and the air seemed to have stagnated.

Qiu Yue knelt on the ground holding his father's body that had been humiliated by the barbarians, his pupils were bloodshot, but he still couldn't cry.

"Go to Master Zhiwu of Pilu Temple," Mo Sangqing ordered Ai Jiu in a low voice after a long time.

Ai Jiu nodded to leave, a group of monks had already walked to the open space.

The presiding abbot of Pilu Temple, Zen Master Zhiwu glanced at the hellish scene of Shura in the open space, shook his head, and recited the Buddha's name in a low voice.

Mo Sangqing bowed to Zen Master Zhiwu, then bent slightly, patted Qiu Yue on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Let Zhiwu preside over the matter of saving the dead."

Qiu Yue knelt and did not move.

"The barbarian company is still outside the pass," Mo Sangqing said, "Are you going to stay here, or lead troops to attack the barbarian company?"

Qiu Yue turned to look at Mo Sangqing.

"I won't tell you about mourning," Young General Mo said, "This is nonsense, I'm still sad, how can you mourn?"

Mo Sangqing's expression could not be seen to be sad, Qiu Yue looked down at Mo Sangqing's hand holding his shoulder, the hand with distinct knuckles, the veins stretched out and trembling at the moment.

"How to let the souls of the dead rest in peace is the business of Master Zhiwu and the others," Mo Sangqing looked at Qiu Yue and said, "Now is not the time for you and me to be sad."

Qiu Yue gently put down his father's body and stood up.

"Before dawn tomorrow," Mo Sangqing turned around and ordered to his subordinates: "Clear out the barbarian companies outside the pass, and take back the forts, military forts, and towns one by one."

Before dispatching troops to Beiyan Pass, it had already been arranged who would be responsible for leading the soldiers and horses to recover which place. The generals present took orders loudly. Heaps of corpses and empty flagpoles before he turned and left.

"I'll leave it to Master here." After the generals left, Mo Sangqing said to Zen Master Zhiwu who had walked up to him, "There is also the matter of burial, so please take care of Master."

"It should be," Master Zhiwu replied in a low voice, "Major General, please rest assured."

Mo Sangqing bowed to Master Zhiwu, turned around and knelt on the ground, and said to Qiu Yue, "Kneel down."

Qiu Yue knelt down on his knees.

When Qiu Yue knelt, all the soldiers present also knelt down.

In the distance, the people knelt down on the ground.

"Amitabha," the monks recited the Buddha's name in unison.

Mo Sangqing led Qiu Yue and the others, kowtowed three times to General Qiu's corpse, then kowtowed to the piles of corpses on both sides, then stood up, took the whip from Ai Jiu's hand, and strode out of the open space .

Qiu Yue wiped his face and followed behind Mo Sangqing.

"You have to clear the Futu Pass again," Mo Sangqing said after getting on the horse, ordering the general who was going to guard the Futu Pass to stay behind: "You have to search all the houses."

"Yes," the general said loudly.

Mo Sangqing urged his horse forward, followed by soldiers closely behind.

When the army left the pass, there was a sound of crying in Futu Pass.All the barbarians in the city were killed. After the anger passed, people wanted to bury their dead family members. At this time, grief enveloped the entire Guancheng.

The sound of shouting and killing sounded outside the Futu Pass, and immediately the barbarian company's camp was on fire.The barbarians who had already transferred the army to the west could not stop the Liaodong iron cavalry who had far more people than themselves.

Mo Sangqing stopped his horse in front of the big tent of the Chinese Army in the Iron Wood Pagoda, watching the soldiers set the big tent of the Chinese Army on fire.A barbarian soldier recklessly ran to the tent of the Chinese army, and was shot dead by Ai Jiu with an arrow.

Glancing at the barbarian soldiers who died on the ground, Mo Sangqing was about to talk to Ai Jiu when he heard someone calling him from the left side, so he turned his head to look.

Song Ye was wearing night clothes, sweating profusely and ran to Mo Sangqing's horse.

Looking at the face that Song Ye himself had smeared, Mo Sangqing said, "Are you Song Ye?"

"Yes, Major General," Song Ye nodded hurriedly. After changing his disguise, he didn't show himself to the barbarians, but it also made him nervous when he saw Major General Mo, for fear that he would lose face. After cleaning it up, General Mo couldn't recognize him.

"What about you?" Mo Sangqing asked halfway, and then asked another question: "Where are your generals?"

Song Ye stood in front of the Wuyun horse, raised his head as much as possible, and said to Mo Sangqing: "My general followed the barbarian army to the west, major general, my major general is ordered to come back to see you."

Mo Sangqing got off his horse and led Song Ye to a deserted place, then stopped and asked in a low voice: "What happened?"
