Everyone's eyes turned red.
Han Song hadn't returned yet. Although they didn't dare to think about it, everyone knew...
Han Song was already dead.
And now, the Turkic army had been defeated!
The Great Tang had chased them away, but Li Er said that it was a success. They had lost, they had lost?!
"Your Majesty, it's already a great fortune that we were able to defeat the Turkic army. There's no need for Your Majesty to blame yourself…" Zhangsun Wuji consoled.
Li Er turned his head and glanced at him.
Li Er's eyes were still filled with tears as he said in a sorrowful voice,"Was it me who defeated the Turkic army? Was it you?"!”
"Was it this one who disrupted the Turkic army and ambushed Jie Li Khagan? Was it you?”
"Was it this one who killed Jie Li Khan with his own strength? Was it you?!”
Li Er smiled bitterly." It was all Old Master Han's doing. He was the one who defeated the Turkic army. What does it have to do with us?"!”
"He defeated the Turkic army, but this one was unable to save him. Tell this one, if this one wasn't defeated, what was it?!”
The questions were thought-provoking.
The eyes of the soldiers of the Great Tang, including Cheng Yaojin, Li Jing, and Yuchi Gong, had long since moistened, and their hearts were filled with grief.
That's right.
They seemed to have won this time, but Old Master Han would not be able to return…
Was this a victory or a defeat?
No one could give them an accurate answer anymore. Everyone felt uncomfortable!
Old Master Han…
He saved them with his hundred-year-old body, but now they could not save Han Song!
How sorrowful was this?
Li Er also laughed bitterly and said,"Go back. I'm tired."”
The army set out and returned to Chang 'an.
Two days later, Li Er and the others returned to Chang 'an and were welcomed by all the people in Chang' an.
Because…
Before Li Er and the others returned, a scout had already sent the news of the victory back to Chang 'an. The people of Chang' an were naturally very excited.
When Li Er and the others led the army back!
The commoners were extremely excited. They shouted and welcomed him warmly!
However…
Unexpectedly, Li Er, Cheng Yaojin, Li Jing, Yuchi Gong, and the other Tang soldiers did not look happy at all.
What the hell!
Everyone could see that their eyes, including Li Er's, were all red.
No one had a smile on their faces. They were all sad.
" What happened?!"
"Didn't you say that you won the battle? Why are Your Majesty and the others like this…"
"What exactly happened?”
" Eh? Where's Old Master Han? Didn't he say that he defended Youzhou and subdued Gan Province…"
"Yeah, why don't I see Old Man Han in Youzhou Province…"
Everyone was bewildered and discussed animatedly. They felt that it was strange.
During this period of time.
The deeds of Han Song, the legendary centenarian of Youzhou, had long been spread to Chang 'an!
Everyone admired Old Master Han!
In fact,
Moreover, after the Tang Empire's great victory at the bank of Weishui River, everyone thought that Old Man Han would return to Chang 'an with His Majesty…
Countless people wanted to see Han Song!
But unexpectedly,
This time, Li Er and the others returned, but they did not see Han Song and Old Master Han. In addition, their faces were filled with grief. For some reason…
Everyone had a bad premonition.
At the same time, that afternoon, Li Er issued an imperial edict to inform the Great Tang.
" Underling: Han Song, a hundred-year-old man from Youzhou, is a Kingdom Knight of the Great Tang. He led his trusted soldiers to fight against the barbarians. He risked his life several times and fought alone. I am deeply consoled by him and confer him the title of Founding Duke of Youguo…"
" Servant: Han Yi, the adopted son of Han Song, a hundred-year-old man in Youzhou Province. The commandant of Youzhou Province has been defending the city to the death. He has made great contributions in protecting Youzhou Province. Therefore, he is conferred the title of Dingyuan General of Youzhou Province..."
"Disciple: Han Jiaoniang, adopted daughter of Han Song, a hundred-year-old man in Youzhou Province…"
"Disciple: Han Shi, adopted son of Han Song, a hundred-year-old man from Youzhou Province…"
Imperial edicts were issued one after another.
Everyone was surprised to find that all the titles and imperial edicts…
All of them revolved around Han Song and Old Master Han!
Furthermore!
Old Master Han was actually conferred the title of Duke. What kind of honor and status was this?!
After all, everyone knew that there were only a few Dukes in the Great Tang!
All of them were Li Er's loyal subordinates, existences who had fought alongside him!
But now, Han Song…
Old Man Han, a hundred-year-old man from Youzhou, was directly conferred the title of Duke!!
"Old Master Han, what did you do?!”
At this moment, everyone became even more curious about Han Song.
Everyone knew,
Han Song must have done something terrifying to be able to obtain such a title. Moreover, why didn't Old Master Han appear?!
Everyone was puzzled.
That afternoon,
The event at the bank of Weishui River was finally spread out. Everybody was moved.
Everyone finally understood why Old Man Han did not appear, and why His Majesty and the others did not seem to be happy when they returned!
So…
It was Old Master Han. He couldn't come back!
This didn't mean that Han Song was dead, but it was the same as Old Man Han disappearing. Moreover, he had disappeared while being pursued by the Turkic army…
The chances of survival were too small!
When the event at the bank of Weishui River was revealed bit by bit…
For a moment!
In the vast Chang 'an, countless people began to pray for Old Master Han.
On this day, the Great Tang prayed for Han Song!
