Chapter 130 Come here and give me a hug

Everyone stared at the distance, looking forward to the triumphant return of Li Er and the army.

But Changsun Wuji frowned.

Because he didn't hear the mighty sound of hooves.

Why is it so quiet?

"His Royal Highness, something seems wrong!"

Changsun Wuji said incredulously.

As soon as these words came out, Prince Li Chengqian was also very puzzled.

Why does this look less and less like a triumphant army?

And as the distance got closer and closer, everyone finally saw clearly.

But everyone stopped shouting, and their eyes were even more red.

"His Majesty!"

Changsun Wuji and the court ministers couldn't help exclaiming in tears.

They looked at everything in disbelief one by one, feeling extremely sad in their hearts.

Li Er and the soldiers did not come back on horseback, but on foot.

Not only that, but more importantly, His Majesty Li Er actually carried the imperial coffin!

The ones lying inside were, of course, the two generals Qin Qiong and Li Junxian.

It would be fine if there was only this imperial coffin.

After all, the news that Qin Qiong and Li Junxian died in battle had already been known to everyone.

But behind the imperial coffin, there are countless stretchers covered with white cloth.

You don't need to ask, it's a corpse!
The dazzling white cloth made the people of Chang'an and the civil and military officials cry instantly.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

The corpses of tiger and leopard cavalry officers and soldiers, as well as the corpses of countless Tang soldiers, could not be carried back.

Of the 2 soldiers from the Northern Expedition, only [-] returned.

And there are many wounded among them.

Some seriously injured soldiers even died on the way home.

How tragic!

What surprised everyone even more was, what about the blood-clothed general?

What about the young master of Duke Fan's mansion?

Why didn't he come back?

And as the distance got closer and closer, the people all wept.

Especially when they saw the bright silver gentian gun on the imperial coffin, a bad feeling quickly spread in everyone's hearts.

Is it the bloody general?
I am most afraid of the sudden silence of the atmosphere.

At this moment, the people who greeted the army from ten miles away were completely silent.

Only the sound of tears falling.

Li Er suddenly stopped in his tracks, and said with red eyes: "The Battle of Weishui is over, let the world know."

"I obey my orders!"

As Fang Xuanling spoke, he slowly walked to the front of the army.

"In the Battle of the Weishui River, we, the Tang Dynasty, mobilized the power of the whole country, and ended in victory. But Your Majesty believes that this battle is a tragic victory!"

"The people in northern Xinjiang defended the country with their lives, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty fought with their lives. Corpses are scattered all over the mountains and fields, and blood flows countercurrently into rivers. It can be called great compassion!"

"General Qin Qiong died in battle, and General Li Junxian died in battle."

"The blood-clothed general was hunted down by the Turkic army. He escaped from the siege ten days ago. Now he is seriously injured and has lost his memory."

"My Tang Dynasty's [-] soldiers from the Northern Expedition almost lost their lives, and now less than [-] have returned."

"Although this battle was won, it was a miserable victory!"

"This is my Great Tang's disgrace and eternal enmity!"

"I, the people of Tang Dynasty, will never forget it!"

boom!
When Fang Xuanling finished reading the imperial edict, everyone present couldn't help feeling like a knife was twisting their hearts.

Of the [-] soldiers from the Northern Expedition, less than [-] returned.

How tragic this is!
The blood-clothed general resisted desperately in northern Xinjiang, but now he was seriously injured and lost his memory.

How desolate this is!
This hard-won victory is far from the victory that the people imagined.

Everyone knows the cruelty of war, but no one thought that the battlefield would be so cruel.

This is something Datang has never experienced.

"Respectfully send the two generals home!"

After a long time, Li Er said in a hoarse voice.

"Congratulations to the General!"

Everyone shouted with tears in their eyes.

His Majesty Li Er carried the imperial coffin and walked towards Chang'an city step by step.

Outside the city of Chang'an, the people ten miles away knelt down and shouted, "Respectfully send off the general!"

The heartbroken voices came and went, and an endless sadness enveloped everyone present and the entire Chang'an City.

The Battle of Weishui was finally over.

Although Datang repelled the invading Turkic army, victory.

But it also paid an extremely heavy price, and ended in a tragic victory!

But the two generals Qin Qiong and Li Junxian died in battle, and [-] Tang soldiers died in battle.

Let Datang and Turks be completely incompatible.

This enmity is a national humiliation!
This enmity is an eternal enmity!
An hour later, Li Er and the others carried the imperial coffin and finally arrived at the gate of Chang'an City.

"Order to go down and bury the two generals in the imperial mausoleum for a state funeral!"

boom!
As soon as Li Er's words came out, all the officials present were shocked instantly.

That's the royal mausoleum!

Although the officials of the Ministry of Rites wanted to dissuade them, they could only shut up obediently when they thought of the tragic death in Beijiang.

It is unprecedented in the history of the Han family to bury the two generals who died in battle in the imperial mausoleum for a state funeral.

Li Er broke this convention!
It not only moved the hearts of all the generals present, but also moved the hearts of the people in the whole city.

Li Er's move will definitely capture the hearts of all people.

The bodies of Qin Qiong, Li Junxian, and all the soldiers were all placed in the imperial tomb.

Three days later, a state funeral will be held and buried in peace.

On the day of the burial, the people in Chang'an City saw him off with tears in their eyes.

Li Er was in tears the whole time, and almost passed out.

The next step is to reward meritorious deeds.

The civil and military ministers who followed Li Eryu's northern expedition were all rewarded.

And as for the biggest hero in this battle - Duan Xiaofan.

Li Er even rewarded him as the God of War in Northern Xinjiang without hesitation!
ten days later.

Duan Xiaofan finally wandered back to Chang'an with Wangcai, Laifu and other dog legs.

"Little Grandpa!"

As soon as everyone entered the gate of the mansion, Shuang'er shouted with tears in his eyes.

"My dear twins!"

"Long time no see, miss me!"

"Hurry up and let me hug you and see how you are developing!"

As Duan Xiaofan spoke, he opened his arms and held Shuang'er tightly in his arms.

But then, his hands began to be dishonest.

"My lord, don't~~"

While struggling, Shuang'er resisted with tears in her eyes.

In front of so many people, it's too embarrassing for the little father-in-law to touch himself.

Duan Zhixuan looked at the scene in front of him and was not angry.He murmured tremblingly: "It's good to come back alive, it's good to be alive."

as parents.

He didn't want his son to become some shit god of war, and he didn't want his son to become a hero of the world.

He just wanted his son to live.

Even if you are a prodigal.

Just be alive.

At this moment, I saw my son appearing alive and kicking in front of my eyes.

Duan Zhixuan suddenly discovered that it would be good for his son to be a prodigal son!
"Fan'er, I heard that you lost your memory. Do you still remember Dad?"

Duan Zhixuan reached out his hand to touch the tears, went up to him and asked.

"Old man, I forgot and no one will forget you!"

Looking at his father's white hair that suddenly increased, Duan Xiaofan couldn't help but twitched in his heart.

But he had to act like a prodigal.

Li Er is a hero, not a benevolent king.

So Duan Xiaofan decided to continue to be a prodigal son.

The days when you can pretend to be B are the happy days!
