Chapter 149:
After the wolf army returned to the city in Nokia, it began to withdraw from Dingyuan City, stationed about 30 miles outside Dingyuan City, and they still held about 1,000 prisoners of the Dingyuan defenders in their hands, and Li Qing left Wang Qinian's Tianlei battalion and baggage battalion in Dingyuan after entering the city, but he led the whirlwind, and the two battalions of the personal guards followed the wolf army all the way with Princess Nafu.
The defenders of Dingyuan were strung together by ropes, pulled out and displayed in front of the formation, the brigade of the wolf army had begun to turn back, running to the depths of the grassland, and even Huhe's Chinese army flag had left, leaving only more than a thousand cavalry guards staring at the Dingzhou army vigilantly.
"Princess Nave, please!" Li Qing stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, "I hope our next meeting will be more pleasant!" Nafu glanced at Li Qing deeply, pursed her mouth tightly, clamped the horse's belly, and the horse neighed, and it went straight out. Seeing Nave riding out alone, the wolf runners on the opposite side were slightly scratched, and immediately several horses rushed out of the queue and met them.
"Jiang Kui, be prepared, if the other party makes any changes, destroy them immediately."
"Yes, Dashuai!" Jiang Kui summoned the captains of the left and right wings, and gave two orders in a low voice, and the two took the order to leave, and then the left and right wings of the whirlwind battalion spread out slightly, and the entire Dingzhou army slowly expanded into a semicircle.
"Princess!" As soon as Nokia stretched out his hand on the horse, he had already grabbed the reins of the horse ridden by Nave, took the horse in his hand, and looked back at Li Qing who was standing under the banner of Li Zida on the opposite side, and couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart.
Nafu ran back to the wolf army, and at a glance saw Hu He standing in the queue with a smile, surprised, happy and aggrieved, tears immediately welled up, jumped up from the horse, jumped on Hu He's horse, put his hands around Hu He's neck, and cried loudly, "Uncle! Hu He smiled and patted her on the back, "Okay, okay, Nave, it's okay, it's okay, Quan Dang has gone out for a trip this time, and he must have gained a lot of knowledge." ”
"Uncle, if you kill Li Qing, you must kill him, otherwise Li Qing will definitely become a big disaster for me!" Nave turned around, pointed to the big Li banner opposite, and said loudly.
Hu He squinted, glanced at the Dingzhou army in the distance, and said with a smile: "This is natural, but now, Nafu, let's run!" He picked up Nav and said, "Nokia, protect the princess, and the whole army will retreat!" ”
On the other side, Li Qing's eyes widened, and he saw that Nafu actually flew into a man's arms, who was that? It must have been Hu He, Hu He's Chinese military flag was gone, but he stayed.
"Jiang Kui, attack, attack, leave Huhe for me!" Li Qing resolutely ordered the army.
The left and right wings of the Whirlwind Battalion immediately opened up and galloped away like two iron pincers. Li Qing led the guard battalion to follow.
Hu He laughed and led the army to fly away, and at this time, the defenders of Dingyuan, who had been freed, stood up one after another and rushed to the friendly troops opposite, but they invisibly blocked the advance of Li Qingzhong's army.
The left and right wings of the whirlwind battalion chased after more than ten miles, and most of the wolf running army suddenly appeared in sight, seeing the formation waiting on the opposite side, Jiang Kui stopped the pursuit with interest, disturbed the soldiers and horses, and regretfully watched Huhe and a group of people into the forest like swallows into the forest, and then the army turned around and surged into the distance in waves.
"Withdraw!" Jiang Kui turned the horse's head.
"Hu He, Hu He!" Li Qing muttered two sentences softly, it was really extraordinary, he was so bold, it was a pity, if he had calculated this earlier, and desperately damaged the more than 1,000 captured soldiers, he would have to leave this person behind.
"The first general of the grassland, it really deserves its name!" Shang Haibo sighed, "Dashuai, this person is not only good at head-on battles, but also bold and careful, every time there is a surprise soldier, we must be careful with this person in the future!" ”
Li Qing nodded, "Hu Hedang is our number one enemy in the grassland. ”
As he spoke, the captured remnants of more than 1,000 soldiers had arrived in front of Li Qing, kneeling on the ground in the dark, Li Qing waved his hand, "Get up, this battle is not your crime, and then fight bravely to kill the enemy, and wash away the humiliation of today." ”
"Thank you, Dashuai!" More than 1,000 soldiers were inexplicably grateful, after being captured, they thought that it was either a dead end, or they were going to be captured on the grassland as slaves, but they never wanted to come to Li Dashuai and were willing to exchange them for the princess of the grassland, what a noble identity the princess of the grassland, and they were just some small soldiers. Looking at the back of Li Qing beating his horse and leaving, more than a thousand captives were excited, what else could they do except repay the commander with death in the future?
Dingzhou, Marshal's Mansion, Shang Haibo said respectfully: "Marshal, the Monument to the Unknown Hero and the Hall of Martyrs you said have been completed, and please write the plaque by yourself." "When it comes to calligraphy, Li Qing's face is also unique in Dachu, although Li Qing is still unknown in Shilin, but the readers around him are all full of praise for Li Qing's gold and silver font, Shang Haibo once said in private, even if Li Dashuai does not lead the army to fight, Megatron will also be famous because of this unique calligraphy, now in Dingzhou, there are not a few officials who secretly copy Li Qing's calligraphy, of course, this is only qualified to see Li Qing's handwriting people have the opportunity to get Li Qing's calligraphy. In fact, even if Li Qing's calligraphy is not good, no one dares to write these two plaques except for him.
Qingfeng had already prepared the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and sharpened the ink for Li Qing, and everyone held their breath and watched Li Qing lift the pen, close his eyes slightly, and begin to brew emotions.
At this moment, countless pictures appeared in Li Qing's mind, the countless corpses lying on the ground on the meadow battlefield, the tattered battle flags fluttering in the wind, the red-eyed wild dogs, and the countless vultures in the air.
Suddenly opened his eyes, Li Qing picked up the pen, and it was done in one fell swoop. "Monument to the Unknown Soldier!" Seven big characters jumped on the paper, through the back of the paper, into the wood three points, vigorous and difficult to hide a sense of killing, after writing these seven words, Li Qing picked up the pen and wrote down all the way to the small characters, "I would like to use this monument to commemorate the countless years of sacrifice for the barbarians to protect my people!" ”
"Good!" Everyone in the hall cheered in unison.
Qingfeng carefully removed the paper and laid a new sheet of rice paper again. Li Qing wrote on it again, "Martyr's Hall!" Three words, a little muttering, and then wrote a couplet: A generation of loyal mountains and thousands of years of vitality Zhenhu Mountain.
Shang Haibo was full of praise, carefully dried the ink on it, and said to Lu Yiming: "Old road, find the best craftsman to print the handsome ink treasure rubbing, oh, by the way, this originally had to be left for me to collect." ”
Lu Yiming smiled: "Of course, I want to find the best craftsman, but this true work of Dashuai belongs to me." After speaking, he held two large pieces of paper and left in a hurry.
"That's not good, Lao Lu, you can't be greedy, at least take my share!" Shang Haibo was furious and hurriedly chased out, in the lobby, the rest of the people couldn't help laughing, the rest of the people were either not qualified to fight with these two people, or Yang Yidao Tang Hu and other guys who had just gotten rid of the title of illiteracy, the words were almost the same in their eyes, and they couldn't tell the good from the bad at all.

Railings carved with lion's heads enclose the monument, and more than a dozen soldiers, dressed in brand-new armor, stand like mountains on all sides of the monument. Although there has not yet been an official inauguration ceremony, there have been bouquets of flowers sent under the monument.
Directly opposite the monument, a white marble paved passage connects the martyr's hall, the martyr's hall is more simple than the monument, but it is heavier, made of a huge stone, a stone pillar supports his beam, according to Li Qing's order, as long as the person who sacrificed for Dingzhou still has a name, he can put the spirit card into the martyr's platform, accept the incense of Dingzhou people, worship.
In the Hall of Martyrs, although it has just been built, there are many spiritual plaques on the stone steps of the first level, and the candles in the hall are always bright, and the cigarettes are not extinguished.

Also, the first news has been sent back. "Qingfeng Road.
"Mingyan sent back the news so quickly?" Li Qing asked in surprise.
Qingfeng nodded: "Mingyan has safely arrived in the area controlled by the Murowei people, where there is an idle chess piece set up by the Li Clan's Shadow in the early years, and under their response, Mingyan has now been temporarily placed to wait for the opportunity." ”
