"I don't know your honorable name? Where is this? Zheng Peng woke up from his dream, came back to his senses, and immediately understood his condition.

After waking up, Zheng Peng quickly understood one thing: he had a nightmare just now, and the reality was even more cruel than a nightmare.

"Exemption from respect, surname Cao, single name is a Chinese character, Anxi Silver Wolf Camp is positive, Zheng Qianqi can rest assured, this is the camp of the Silver Wolf Camp of Anxi Mansion in the Tang Dynasty, Fan Dog was driven back to his hometown by Manager Huang, it is absolutely safe here." Cao Hua said with a smile.

Zheng Peng seemed to think of something, touched his stomach, and then said anxiously: "What about the things, who changed my clothes?" ”

The belly was empty, and the bloody garment wrapped in the tarpaulin was gone.

It was the last words of dozens of brothers, and Zheng Peng was anxious on the spot.

"Zheng Qian, don't worry," at this time, a person walked into the camp tent with a bag of things: "You are talking about this bag, don't worry, everything is there." ”

The person who came was Huang Yang, the chief manager of the Western Regions, Zheng Peng hurriedly got out of bed and wanted to salute, as soon as he landed on the ground, he said "ouch", he only felt that his feet were soft, and he almost didn't fall, and Cao Hua on the side hurriedly held him up: "Zheng Qianqi is careful." ”

Huang Yang immediately said: "Zheng Qian's cavalry, you have been soaked in the water for too long, don't worry, now is not a march to fight, those false courtesies are exempt, by the way, this is your thing, see if there is any less." ”

Zheng Peng took it, hurriedly opened it, and only then did he breathe a long sigh of relief when he saw that the bloody clothes were fine.

If the tarpaulin can't prevent the water, the blood on the clothes may be blistered and pasted, so that they have the trust of their brothers, although the deceased is gone, but for relatives, the last words are worth ten thousand gold.

"Zheng Qianqi, what is the name of this dress, hey, there seem to be words on it." Cao Hua said with some curiosity.

The thing is Zheng Peng's, tied very tightly, and carried it closely, Cao Hua is not easy to untie it, seeing Zheng Peng untie it, I thought it was a valuable thing such as a counter ticket or a land deed, or a secret decree given to him by the emperor, but I didn't expect to open it and see that it was a bloody clothes.

Zheng Peng said with a heavy face: "This is the last words left by the brothers who died in the war with blood. ”

Cao Hua and Huang Yang were in awe when they heard this, and their eyes were different when they looked at the bloody clothes.

Huang Yang said on the spot: "Zheng Qianqi, if you need help, just ask, you must do your best." ”

"Have a heart" Zheng Peng said calmly: "I hope that Manager Huang will propose to the imperial court to show mercy to this dead and wounded soldier, and he will be grateful." ”

Zheng Peng secretly made a good plan in his heart, no matter how the imperial court cared for him, the dead and wounded soldiers of the Tiger Battalion and the families of the brothers trapped in the mountains had to take care of themselves, this was a promise made by a man.

"That's what so-and-so should do"

After a slight pause, Zheng Peng asked a little bitterly: "Manager Huang, Cao Yingzheng, excuse me, besides me, the brothers who were trapped in the mountain have escaped?" ”

Now Zheng Peng is most concerned about the life and death of his brothers, although he knows in his heart that the probability of their survival is very low, but Zheng Peng still has hope in his heart.

Huang Yang and Cao Hua glanced at each other, and quickly spoke: "A total of eighty-one corpses have been counted on the mountain, and no survivors have been found for the time being. ”

"Eighty-one corpses? Does it include the grave? Zheng Peng's heart moved, and he immediately asked.

"Grave?" Huang Yang waved his hand and said: "When our people arrived, all the graves were dug up, it is estimated that the Tibetan people were afraid that you would pretend to be dead, and they would dig up the dead soldiers. ”

"No" Zheng Peng immediately denied: "The soldiers on the mountain, including me, have a total of ninety-two people, and there are only eighty-one corpses, that is, ten people have escaped?" ”

When he said this, Zheng Peng's breathing also became heavy.

Huang Yang said with some embarrassment: "According to our intelligence, when the Tibetan soldiers attacked, they were captured alive as much as possible, and even used arrows with anesthetics. ”

Li Xiancheng was martyred?

Although he was prepared in his heart, when he heard that Li Xiancheng really died in battle, Zheng Peng was still shocked.

The children of the royal family, the natural general, the first warrior of the Yulin Army, Zheng Peng met with him for the first time, after joining the Yulin Army, he did not raise the bar with him, when he was still in Chang'an, Zheng Peng felt that Li Xiancheng was a child of the royal family, arrogant, and unapproachable, and he was not willing to get close to him like a "gentleman", but he did not expect Li Xiancheng to go out of Chang'an, and his performance in the Western Regions battlefield impressed Zheng Peng, and he rushed to the front every time, preferring to die rather than surrender, and gave himself the opportunity to escape.

Looking back, this Li Xiancheng is quite cute.

Zheng Peng was silent for a while, and quickly said, "Manager Huang, have you sorted out the list of casualties and missing persons?" ”

"Still tidying up" Huang Yang said with some embarrassment: "The main focus is on the search, the scene is a bit chaotic, some soldiers have too many wounds, so that the flesh and blood are blurry and difficult to recognize, and those with tokens are easy to recognize, and some soldiers lost their tokens or were burned by fire after they died, so the aftermath work is a little sluggish." ”

"I'll identify them, I know them all." Zheng Peng took the initiative to ask.

Cao Hua immediately said: "No, Zheng Qian, your body has just recovered, take good care of your body, just leave these little things to us." ”

"Yes," Huang Yang echoed: "There are so many people, Zheng Qian's cavalry, you can rest for life." ”

Zheng Peng said a little stubbornly: "It's okay, just soak in the water, there is not even a wound on the body, just now I was just unstable for a while, don't stop me, I must go back and send my brother on the last journey." ”

After being silent for a while, Huang Yang nodded and said, "Yes, Cao Yingzheng, you have to work hard, accompany Zheng Qian's envoy to see if there is anything you can help." ”

Cao Hua knew that he was accompanied, but he was actually protecting Zheng Peng and not letting him have a little accident, so he agreed again and again.

An hour later, Zheng Peng, who had been riding a horse all the way, finally returned to the nameless mountain.

Before he got off the horse, Zheng Peng's eyes were red: halfway up the mountainside, there was a "person" standing, **'s upper body, counting one, and his whole body was hit by eight arrows, in addition, there were dozens of wounds on his body, holding a horizontal knife in his hand, his eyes were glaring, the fierce expression and the tall body was like a beast, and his whole body was dyed red with blood, which made people shudder, however, this person did not move, because he pierced a spear in the position of his left and right hearts, and the tail of the spear supported his body from falling.

It's Xu Shan.

Zheng Peng walked over, looked at Xu Shan, who was standing, and silently saluted him.

"Come on, put this strong man down, and move lightly." Cao Hua saw that this person had a lot to do with Zheng Peng, and immediately asked someone to deal with it.

You can't just stand there and look disrespectful to the dead.

Several soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield immediately rushed over, put Xu Shan down with all hands and feet, and then helped him remove the spears and arrows, and some people took towels to wipe the blood on Xu Shan's face and hands.

"Hey, he won't close his eyes." One of the soldiers spoke suddenly.

The Chinese people feel that when people close their eyes and leave the world, it is called peace, and if they die with their eyes open, they will not blink their eyes to death, which is a bad sign.

"Let me try." Zheng Peng suddenly spoke.

Everyone got out of the way, Zheng Peng walked to Xu Shan's body, saw that Xu Shan's face still had some blood stains that had not been wiped off, and couldn't find a towel for a while, so he gently wiped it clean for him with his sleeve, everything was done, and said softly: "Xu Shan, I am your boss Zheng Peng, I can't do anything with the dog, I have come back to life, now I will send you the last ride, rest assured, your family, with a bite of food, they will not let them starve, your posthumous affairs, the boss will also help you do the scenery, you can rest assured." ”

After speaking, Zheng Peng wiped it lightly with his hand, I don't know if Xu Shan really has a spirit in the sky or a coincidence, he couldn't close his eyes just now, and closed them.

There were a few sighs from the back of the crowd, and many people looked at Zheng Peng's eyes strangely.

Dealing with Xu Shan's body, Zheng Peng continued to walk forward, and successively found the remains of Zhou Quan, Cao Feng, and Zhang Ping's old acquaintances, one by one died very strongly, when Cao Feng died, he was still holding a horizontal knife that was cut to only half and the blades were rolled up, Zheng Peng took off his fingers when he was about to break them, Zhou Quan died the worst, I don't know if he offended which soldier, the head was different, and there were hundreds of wounds on the whole body, Zheng Peng saw that the circles under his eyes were red.

About the point where he was about to reach the top of the mountain, Zheng Peng stopped again, raised his head into the air, and forcibly held back the tears in his eyes.

It is the remains of the Afghan army.

Ah Jun's naked upper body, with a spear inserted, but the rod of the spear was cut off, it should be that after Ah Jun was stabbed, he was afraid of being strained by the barb of the spear, so he cut off the handle of the spear in pain, and left the spearhead on his body to continue fighting, from the twenty or thirty wounds on his body, it can be seen that the tragedy of the battle situation, what made Zheng Peng extremely angry was that Ah Jun's right hand was only half cut, and not far from the corpse, there were still broken hands and severed fingers.

If you guess correctly, someone should have taken a fancy to the valuable iron knife in Ah Jun's hand, and in order to get the treasure knife, he cut off Ah Jun's hand and then cut off the fingers that grasped the handle.

What moved Zheng Peng was that when Ah Jun died, he didn't look angry, uneasy or afraid, his eyes were closed, his face was calm, as if he was asleep, and he could even feel a smile on his lips.

For Ah Jun, death is not the end of life, but a kind of liberation from life, because he is a slave, no matter how much merit he has made and how much labor he has received, a slave is still a slave, and now he is dying on the battlefield and sacrificing his life for the country like a hero, he is very satisfied.

Zheng Peng squatted down, personally wrapped the severed hands and fingers in a piece of cloth, put them next to Ah Jun, and then took off the cloak on his body, carefully covered Ah Jun, and said in a voice he had just heard: "Ah Jun, don't worry, I will definitely pardon your slavery to the emperor, as well as your Yeniang and Xiaoyin's slavery, your home will be my family in the future, go all the way, brother." ”
