Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 83
Overcast clouds billowed across the sky, and occasionally muffled thunder and purple lightning flashed, illuminating the gloomy sky, and also illuminating Liu Yu, who was striding towards Point Jiangtai.

Liu Yu's calm face and black armor, reflecting the flickering lightning, looked like a god of war in the eyes of the soldiers.The cold eyes of the soldiers gradually became fanatical, but they still stood motionless.

Behind them were Xia Houlan, Zhou Cang, and the handsome Chen Dao. Gao Meng no longer led troops, so he didn't come over.Liu Yu was as straight as the spear he used, standing silently in the center of the general's platform.As he inspected his [-] soldiers, a sense of arrogance suddenly arose in his heart, and he felt that the world was in his hands for an instant.But after he was in a trance, he took a deep breath and shouted loudly to the soldiers in the audience: "Soldiers, do you know why we are beating drums and gathering generals today?"

The [-] soldiers below all held their breath and looked at Liu Yu with suspicion in their eyes.After a while, only a few military lords whispered: "Jujiang, are you going to go to war?"

"Soldiers, it's true that the drums and generals are gathered for battle on weekdays, but this time is different. This time we are beating drums and gathering generals, not to kill the enemy, but to send off comrades in arms." Liu Yu's sonorous and forceful voice covered the thunder in the sky , It exploded in the ears of all the soldiers, so that they were immediately refreshed, and their eyes were more piercing as they looked at the general on the stage.

Liu Yu still stood straight, and continued to say forcefully: "The living soldiers are brave soldiers, worthy of our praise; the dead soldiers are martyrs, worthy of our admiration. Why did they die? They were not because of themselves. They are for our living comrades in arms; they are for the families in the city; they are for thousands of households in the city. Do you think you will forget them?"

"No, no!"

The soldiers roared loudly, as if they wanted to vent their anger and sorrow.

"Yes, no!" Liu Yu roared louder again without waiting for the soldiers to stop, "We will never forget them, they will always live in our hearts; they will live in our battle formation; Live above our glory. Their souls will always be with me, forever with the glory!"

"Always be with me, always be with glory!"

"Always be with me, always be with glory!"

The calm soldiers finally became frenzied. They looked at Liu Yu frantically, shouting frantically at the top of their lungs!

There was a hint of relief in Liu Yu's eyes. He really wanted to bury the dead soldiers, but he also wanted to use this opportunity to gather people's hearts and let his army truly have a soul.Of course, a funeral alone is not enough, he still has other options, but let's continue with the funeral at this time.

"Their souls are the same as mine, but their corpses will return to the earth. How can I bear to let them die without a burial, and then be infested by wind, rain, wolves, tigers and leopards?" Liu Yu's face became distorted, because he roared too loudly, In the end, the voice became a little hoarse.But he didn't pay attention to it at all, his eyes were still staring at the soldiers in the audience like a tiger.

The soldiers' faces turned red from seeing him, and they shouted even more frantically.Seeing that it was almost done, Liu Yu stretched out his left hand and pressed lightly in the void, signaling for everyone to be quiet.Then, he took another deep breath and roared angrily: "Beat the drum, carry the coffin!"

After yelling, he walked down the platform, and together with Xia Houlan, Zhou Cang, and Gao Meng who insisted on coming out, walked towards Liu Shou's coffin.Then, he let out a low drink, and the three of them lifted the coffin up.

"Uncle Zhi, you lead 500 people to maintain order, and the others will carry the coffin out of the city with me." He yelled hoarsely at Chen Dao while carrying the coffin and walking towards the outside of the barracks.

Looking at the nearly 2000 coffins in the barracks, Chen Dao couldn't help gasping for moisture. He probably had to carry them twice. More than 2000 coffins are not cheap, the general is really willing... General, I really love the master of feathers!

Dependents are like feathers.That's why Chen Dao said that.

However, Chen Dao thought a little naively. Liu Yu spent so much energy and money, although he meant to cherish his feathers, but unless he was an extremely pedantic person, he would never be able to do what Liu Yu is doing now. But is Liu Yu really pedantic?

No, Liu Yu is neither pedantic nor benevolent.He did this not only to gather morale, but also to show Shangcai soldiers and people, and even more so to show the world.He broke through 3000 yellow scarves with [-] troops, and he is already a little famous.Doing such seemingly pedantic but very "idealized" things now, I believe that most people will be moved, and they will praise him when they talk about him, and even go to him.Of course, there will naturally be people who disdain and ridicule.

With a bang, Tian Gong seemed to be angry, and the bean-sized raindrops suddenly fell from the sky above Shangcai City.Liu Yu and others carried the coffin and walked in the front. They had already walked out of the barracks, and they were all soaked in a short while.

Soon, coffins were carried out of the barracks one after another, and all the soldiers who walked on the street were all drenched in armor, face and hair.But all of them did not say a word, silently carrying the heavy coffin.Among them, some soldiers were still wounded, but they still gritted their teeth and followed the people in front step by step.

The residents sheltering from the rain watched this strange team through the windows, discussing quietly one by one.Some children don't understand, they keep pointing and pointing, and they smile openly: "Stupid, really stupid, it's still raining outside."

But soon, the mothers of many families will cover their children's mouths, their faces are covered with tears, and they can't speak from crying.Not because of anything else, just because their husband and the father of her child were in the coffin that formed a dragon.How can they not cry, how can they not cry silently?
But they cried, but they couldn't help murmuring in a low voice: "Father, you can go at ease. The general has given our family a lot of money. You don't have to worry about the child not having enough to eat, and you don't have to worry about your parents being left alone." ..."

Saying this, they all burst into tears again.The female family members cried bitterly, but the male family members were different.The father or younger brother of the soldier in the coffin, or the sick elder brother, all ran out in the rain.They knelt down in the mud with a bang, kneeling in front of Liu Yu.Their faces were sad, but they still cried out in gratitude: "General, you gave us a family settlement and a funeral for our child. We have nothing to repay you. We, we can't do nothing. General, you, you still Let's lift it!"

"Yes, General, let us carry it!"

At first it was just some family members, but gradually irrelevant people also came out.There was gratitude on their faces, but also a hint of sadness.Not only was I moved by the soldiers and their families, but also because I don’t know who said that they died to protect us!The people are the cutest, if you treat them well, they may not be able to give you anything good, but they are willing to entertain you with their only chicken.But now, they feel that they have nothing to repay, so they are willing to do what they can, and they will definitely do what they can to help the families of those soldiers in the future.

Liu Yu saw it, and his eyes couldn't help but get a little wet.He stepped forward quickly and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Everyone, get up quickly, there is water on the ground, everyone, get up quickly."

But everyone seemed to have never heard of it, and they still knelt on the ground, just asking to be able to carry a coffin.

Liu Yu's eyes were red, and he was obviously moved. He told himself in his heart that this was the people's heart.He supported the coffin with one hand, and pulled towards a commoner beside him with the other, but the man refused to get up.Liu Yu had no choice but to shout loudly: "There are still many coffins in the barracks, and those who are strong can carry them, but the sick and the elderly must go home quickly. Chen Dao, you come to supervise, and no old or sick are allowed to carry the coffin."

"Yes, General!"

Seeing that Chen Dao responded and then led the people towards the barracks, Liu Yu wiped the rain off his face and shouted, "Keep going, everyone follow!"

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and everyone was already fully clothed, but they didn't care, and they still walked slowly and firmly to the outside of the city.

At this time, on a certain tall building, Li Tong and his personal guard stood in front of the railing.The head of the guard said with some disdain: "This Liu Yu is really a woman's benevolence. It's ridiculous to waste so much money and energy for the dead soldiers!"

Li Tong did not comment on the words of the Chief of Guards.He quietly looked at Liu Yu's back in the rain, and murmured: "The heart of Shangcai's people has returned to you, and the heart of Shangcai's army has returned to you!"

After all, Li Tong is not a reckless general, so how can he fail to see that the hearts of Shangcai's army and people already belong to Liu Yu.He looked at Liu Yu who was leading the team, and his heart tightened suddenly, thinking that this Liu Yu was really not easy.

"Could it be that Liu Bei left and another Liu Yu came, I'm afraid there will be no peace in Runan in the future!"

The eyes were complicated, and Li Tong couldn't tell what his emotions were at the moment. He seemed to be afraid of Liu Yu, but only he knew it, and even he couldn't tell.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, Liu Yu has already walked out of the city gate first, and is still walking firmly towards the Ru River...
