That night, Liu Yuan returned to the camp and immediately led a team of soldiers with a bag of ashes. They went from house to house to find the relatives of the martyrs and personally distributed the pension and made a promise. Not long after, the entire camp was filled with deep sorrow. The low sobs echoed in the sky for a long time.
Returning to his tent, Liu Yuan was in low spirits. Guo Jia and the others kept persuading him, saying that people would die in war, and more would die in the future! It wasn't that Liu Yuan didn't understand the logic behind this, but because it was his first time, he wasn't used to it. After listening to the persuasion of everyone, he slowly let it go and stopped thinking about it. He only mocked himself,"No wonder the sages said that kindness does not lead to war.”
Not long after, Chen Qun came to report that tens of thousands of people had gathered. They were only waiting for the lord to go and hold a memorial service.
Liu Yuan walked out of the tent and saw a sea of people at the foot of the slope. However, they were all standing quietly without making a sound. The depressing sadness made Liu Yuan unable to breathe. He took a deep breath to calm his frustration and walked up to the simple earth platform built on the hillside.
Liu Yuan looked at everyone and stared at them quietly. After a long time, he slowly said,"Why do we have the opportunity to stand here at this moment? Why are we standing here?"
"We are standing here because someone has sacrificed himself. It's also because of their sacrifices that we have the chance to stand here!”
"A thousand and two hundred cavalry from the Wuhuan have entered our Great Han Valley to harvest grass. They burned, killed, plundered, and committed all kinds of evil! How many people were displaced because of this? How many people have lost their families?"
"Are the Wuhuan Cavalry strong? I'm very responsible in telling everyone that I'm powerful. However, they still died at the hands of our warriors! How could a group of young men who had never seen blood have the courage to annihilate the Hu Krupp? It was because they had a strong belief in their hearts and a determination that would not change until death!”
"What beliefs made them so powerful? Protect!"
"Protect our parents, our brothers and sisters, Youzhou Province, the Great Han Dynasty, and the dignity of the entire Huaxia nation!”
"They are heroes!"
"They will live forever!"
As Liu Yuan spoke, he felt his heart ache, and two bean-sized tears rolled down his face.
"I know that everyone is very sad. I also feel heartache and regret for this. What a good son! However, I clearly told everyone that such things will happen in the future, and there will be more! More men would sacrifice their precious lives for this! Until the Hu Krupp was wiped out and the world was at peace.”
"However, I, Liu Yuan, promise everyone that I will not let down the lives of these young people who have been lost. I swear that I will protect all of you and wipe out the Hu Krupp to avenge them!”
After saying this, Liu Yuan looked up at the sky, trying not to let his tears fall and be seen by others.
Under the night sky and in the snow, the entire hillside was silent. At some point, the sound of sobbing became louder and louder. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, like a landslide and an earthquake. It turned out that tens of thousands of people knelt down at the same time!
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"
Thousands of words converged into this sentence, which moved and embarrassed Liu Yuan.
"Get up quickly! Quickly get up!"
Liu Yuan hurriedly jumped off the platform and helped everyone up one by one. He shouted to Guo Jia, Dian Wei, and the others,"Hurry up and help!"
The four strategists and three generals were all red in the eyes. They were probably moved by Liu Yuan's words.
Tian Feng quickly walked past Guo Jia and the others and arrived in front of Liu Yuan. He suddenly knelt down and sobbed,"Tian Feng, character Hao, greets the lord!”
"Get up, get up!" Liu Yuan lifted him up and forced a smile.""Don't act like a little girl. You'll only be a joke…" As he spoke, he even sniffled.
"Hehe…" Everyone smiled knowingly.
He then assigned tasks to the tens of thousands of people and settled them down at dawn.
They rested for another day on the hill that made tens of thousands of people cry. On the morning of the third day, the team set off for Zhuo County.
At this moment, the crowd of commoners seemed to have changed greatly!
They had completely abandoned the decadence of the past few days. Although everyone was still dressed in rags, they could not hide their vigorous vitality! It was as if a sick tree had sprouted new buds. The tender green was cute, tender green made people pity it, and people could not help but take good care of it.
"Looking at them, I can already imagine what Yuyang will be like next year!”
" At this rate, as long as the policies are not wrong and the heavens do not send disaster, Yuyang will be better than most of the Central Plains in a few years!" Qiushou sighed.”
"Gongyu's words are reasonable." Everyone nodded in agreement.
At noon, it was as if the heavens had sensed the hope and vitality in the hearts of the people. They actually opened their eyes. The snow stopped, and so did the wind. A bright ray of sunlight slipped out from behind the clouds, illuminating everyone's hearts with warmth.
Not long after, Liu Yuan saw a group of knights rushing over from afar. He looked carefully and realized that it was a group of soldiers under Huang Chang. The troop of soldiers came forward, dismounted, and knelt down, calling out to their lord,"
"General Huang has already prepared the items that the commoners need to keep out the cold in Zhuo County.”
"Good!" Liu Yuan crossed his palms, feeling extremely gratified.
The surrounding commoners also heard the news and immediately clapped in celebration. Another person passed the message to another person, and it spread like a wave to the entire team very quickly. Everyone cheered as if they were celebrating a festival. The entire sky was filled with joy.
