Chapter 262 Serve the country with loyalty
"Looking north from the mountains and rivers as the wolf smoke rises"
The dragon flag rolls, the horse neighs, the sword air is like frost
My heart is like the vast water of the Yellow River

Who can resist in twenty years?
Hateful and mad, the sword is directed towards

How many loyal brothers and sisters are buried in other places?
Why would you die to serve your family and country?

I can't bear to sigh and feel even more speechless and my eyes are filled with blood and tears.

The horse's hoof goes south and people look north

People look north, the grass is green and yellow dust is flying

I am willing to defend the land and restore the borders

The great China wants to be celebrated by people from all over the world."

Soon, the passageway at the city gate was cleared. With a piercing sound, the city gate that had been tightly closed for many days slowly opened. As soon as the city gate opened, the demoralized Xiongnu soldiers rushed in. Tianxuan, wearing a beast-faced Heaven-Devouring Armor and holding a tattered and cracked saber, had led 3,000 cavalrymen to charge out.

Riding on the blood-red Huoyun, who was old but still majestic, Tianxuan rushed into the Xiongnu soldiers. His saber was like a spinning wind wheel, and every time the blade flashed, at least one Xiongnu soldier would die under Tianxuan's sword.

He charged into the midst of thousands of troops, and faced the famous Xiongnu people in his past life. For no reason, a ballad that was famous in later generations came to Tianxuan's mind, and he sang it out loud.

"When the smoke of war rises, the country looks northward."

The song of loyalty to the country contained the heroic spirit of a man who was willing to sacrifice his life for his country. When Tianxuan sang, he inadvertently enhanced his own skills, allowing the ballad to spread. The Qin army soldiers around heard it and thought it was very nice, so they sang along with Tianxuan.

"I am willing to defend my territory and expand my borders. The great China wants to be celebrated by all quarters!"

The three thousand elite cavalrymen brought out by Tianxuan from Wushuang City all began to sing this song - Serving the Country with Loyalty. The passionate and powerful melody spread throughout the battlefield, and even the armies of Meng Tian and Li Mu who came from afar were infected and joined in.

………………

The three Qin armies of Li Mu in Yanmen County, Tianxuan in Wushuang City, and Meng Tian in Guanzhong had a total of no more than 100,000 soldiers. However, they were fighting each other from within and without, and the 200,000 Xiongnu soldiers had been attacking Wushuang City day and night for nearly a month and were exhausted. Therefore, when the main camp was captured by the armies of Meng Tian and Li Mu, and Tianxuan in the city rushed out, the Xiongnu army was defeated.

Although several days had passed since the devastating battle, the corpses outside the city had not yet been cleared up. The Qin army lifted the corpses one by one from the ground. After collecting all the valuables from them, they piled the naked corpses together and set them on a raging fire.

Then, a strong meaty aroma wafted out. Of course, no one would like this kind of aroma.

"After this battle, there will be at least 20 years of peace in the Northern Frontier, right?"

"It's hard to say! Although the Xiongnu have been defeated, we still have the Donghu!"

"This move by Lord Wushuang was brilliant. He used Wushuang City as bait to lure the wolf tribe over, and then joined the reinforcements to attack from both inside and outside. He won the battle in one go!"

"I think the song sung by Wushuang-kun - Serving the Country with Loyalty is not only beautiful to listen to, but also grand!"

……

The Qin army soldiers who were ordered to clean up the battlefield, took advantage of the time when the bodies were being burned, to discuss the battle that happened a few days ago in groups of three or five. Some even recited the song "Serve the Country with Loyalty" sung by Tianxuan and sang it on the spot. Almost everyone felt that compared to the heroic war song, this song "Serve the Country with Loyalty" was not only catchy, but also majestic.

……

"Tianxuan would like to thank all the generals for their help. Let me offer a toast to all the generals!"

Wushuang City, Tianxuan Temple. In Xuanyuan Hall, Tianxuan held a banquet to entertain Meng Tian, ​​Li Mu, and their generals who came from afar.

Although the war ended several days ago, the scattered Hun soldiers needed to be dealt with, those who collaborated with the enemy in the city needed to be killed as a warning to others, and the battlefield needed to be cleaned and the bodies buried to prevent the breeding of epidemics. This series of trivial matters was like a tangled mess, and both Tianxuan, the landlord, and Li Mu and Meng Tian, ​​who came from afar, were busy all the time.

Today, most things are back on track, and Tianxuan took the time to hold a banquet to thank the reinforcements.

In the solemn and dignified Xuanyuan Hall, Tianxuan held up the bronze wine jar in front of him and gestured to the people below.

"please!"

"Dry!"

"Mr. Wushuang, your words are too kind."

……

Faced with Tianxuan's toast, the generals did not dare to be arrogant. They raised the wine bottles in front of them one after another, clinked their glasses with Tianxuan's in the air, and drank the fine wine in one gulp.

"Good wine!" After drinking the blood-colored grape wine in the bronze wine jar, Meng Tian's cheeks flushed and he praised.

Tian Xuan said proudly: "Of course it is good wine! This is made from grapes grown on the Gobi Desert under the snow-capped mountains, and it has been distilled and brewed three times before it becomes a hundred-year-old wine!"

“Ice and Fire Hundred Years Red?” Li Mu, whose hair and beard were white, and whose cheeks were covered with wrinkles, looked ordinary and old, but whose eyes contained a terrifying brilliance. After hearing Tian Xuan’s words, he looked thoughtful and murmured, “I seem to have heard of this kind of wine?”

Meng Tian's eyes gleamed, "In the past, the great general of South Korea, the leader of Night, Ji Wuye's favorite?"

Although Meng Tian's words were a question, they were full of certainty.

Tianxuan nodded: "That's right!"

"General Meng, if you like, just take some with you when you leave."

"Thank you!"

Most military commanders like fine wine, and Meng Tian is no exception. Hearing what Tian Xuan said, Meng Tian's face showed excitement from the bottom of his heart, and he agreed immediately.

"Lord Wushuang, from what you said, you don't need this Ice and Fire Centennial Red?" Li Zuoche, who was sitting next to Li Mu, heard this and interrupted, "In that case, why not give me some as well?"

Without waiting for Tianxuan to reply, Li Mu said leisurely: "The wolf army was defeated, and the prestige of Lord Wushuang has soared, enough to intimidate the Western Regions. A few barrels of fine wine should not be a big deal, right?"

"Since General Li is interested, I will give you some more." Tianxuan also knew that he had forced Li Mu to submit to Zhengge, which made him bear the stigma of a traitor. This matter was a thorn in the hearts of Li Mu's grandson. Li Mu's grandson asked for a few barrels of Binghuo Bai Nian Hong, and Tianxuan hesitated for a while before agreeing.

"Generals." Although Binghuo Bai Nian Hong is a good wine, Tian Xuan is not very interested in wine. After promising to send some to Li Mu and Meng Tian, ​​Tian Xuan's expression became serious. Although he did not take any more actions, his simple words successfully attracted the attention of the generals to himself. "In this battle, our army seized a total of 50,000 cattle, 100,000 horses, 200,000 sheep, and 200,000 stones of dairy products and bacon."

When talking about the rich harvest, Tian Xuan's tone surged with excitement. Falling to the lower head, with Li Mu's experience, his face, which was mostly covered by snow-white hair and beard, still had a hint of inner pride. As for the other generals, they were all very happy. Some of the more outgoing ones, if not pulled by the people around them, would have jumped up from their chairs and celebrated with singing and dancing.

"I will take one quarter of the spoils, and the other two generals will share one quarter. The remaining half will be sent back to Guanzhong to be presented to Your Majesty. How do you think?"
