Chapter 342: The Anxi Army has held out for 25 years! And the battle will continue!
On the document the veteran took out.

The command written above is very clear.

[Old Soldier: "This money is the military expenses sent by Qiuci City to Xizhou. Military orders are as heavy as a mountain, not a penny can be lost!"]

[Beggar: "Stop talking about those useless things. I just want to ask you, can you carry so much money?"]

[Old Soldier: "We must crawl to Xizhou City!"]

The beggar had no choice but to move forward with the old soldier.

They had no horses.

They had no choice but to put the money on a large cloth bag, and then they both dragged it forward with difficulty.

By evening, the beggar couldn't stand it anymore.

He took advantage of the old soldier's sleep and quietly slipped away with a bag of money.

Unexpectedly, the veteran was very vigilant.

He pounced on the beggar like a tiger pouncing on a sheep and knocked him down.

The beggar begged for mercy: [“Hey! Money! Here’s the money…”

But the veteran was interested in something else.

He was even more interested because he found a nameplate on the beggar's body.

[Old Soldier: "Xuanwei Army? Are you a soldier?"]

[“You’re a deserter!”]

The beggar was hit in the sore spot and screamed at the top of his lungs:

[“Give me back my sign! Give it back to me! Deserter? How many soldiers does the Tang Dynasty still have here?”]

[Old Soldier: “So you just ran away?”]

[Beggar: "Oh... the city is gone, everyone is dead, and I'm the only one left. What else can I do?"]

As the beggar retorted, the sky curtain began to play his memories.

That was also a battlefield.

At that time, the beggar was still a member of the Xuanwei Army of the Tang Dynasty.

They were defending a fortress, but were out of ammunition and food.

The comrades desperately covered the beggar and tried to let him escape.

The beggar was unwilling to leave:

[“No, I won’t leave! At worst, we can die together…”]

But the comrades pushed the beggar out without giving any explanation.

[“Take our letters back home, we must leave!”]

[“You must stay alive!”]

【“Take our letters back home!”】

In the heavy rain.

The comrades risked their lives to help the beggar escape.

The beggar also became the last survivor.

He took several blood-stained letters from home and hid them tightly in his arms.

Started heading towards the Tang Dynasty’s homeland.

Until I met a veteran.

The scene flashes back to the present.

Beside the fire at night, the beggar said slowly and helplessly:
[“Several living people turned into these pieces of paper.”]

[“I can’t even read the words on it. Where should I send it…!”]

Recall the final sad moment.

The beggar couldn't help shedding tears.

As the beggars were another border troop, their experiences were obviously empathetic to the veterans.

He seemed to be recalling.

While saying somewhat sadly:

[“Yeah, trapped for 25 years, no one has heard from them.”]

[“General Guo sent people back to Chang’an several times, but they all died on the way.”]

[“I finally got in touch with him once, but I didn’t expect that even the year had changed.”]

[“Counting now, it should be the eleventh year of Jianzhong, right?”]

The picture of the sky.

Pause on a bright moon.

A large number of barrages broke out when the old soldier said this, which should have been the eleventh year of Jianzhong.

"The eleven years of Jianzhong are so heartbreaking!"

"The Jianzhong era was used for a total of four years. "

"Are they the Anxi Army? Oh, what a pity! They are the strongest frontier army in the Tang Dynasty!"

"At that time, they could not receive any news from the mainland."

"Qiucha, now Kuqa, is in Aksu. I came from there."

"I'll crawl to Xizhou City even if I have to! It would be great if there were bank transfers available back then."

"Tang Dynasty, Jianzhong, the only copper coin in history with the country's name cast on it. "

"With no money or food, I have to rely on hoarding land and minting coins."

"Is this an advertisement? The film and television company was delayed!"

"If the Anxi Army had 30 to 40 soldiers, our current territory could reach directly to Europe!"

"I burst into tears when I saw this merchant's words. Are the people of the Tang Dynasty back again?"

"The survivors were heartbroken in Liangzhou, and the generals and soldiers looked at each other with no intention of stopping. "

"This is my Great Tang Dynasty!" "Wow! What a pity! Emperor Xuanzong of Tang should die!"

"The main reason is that the military system has collapsed, and it is inevitable that the military leaders will cause chaos."

And outside the sky.

See the white-haired old soldier on the sky.

Seeing the deserter carrying the blood-stained letter from home, looking like a beggar.

From what they described, the Tang border troops were cut off from both internal and external forces and fell into the hands of the Hu people one after another.

It seems that we have lost contact with the mainland of the Tang Dynasty for many years.

The ancients also expressed their feelings.

Even feel sad.

Great Qin.

Looking up at the sky, the white-haired old soldier was still holding his ground.

See those beggars break through the encirclement when all their comrades were wiped out.

Carrying the letter from home that was smeared with blood, I felt confused about the road ahead.

Many of the Qin's officials and soldiers felt deeply moved and sad for the two people on the sky.

The same is true of Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng.

At first, Ying Zheng just thought that the old soldier must have held on for more than ten years even though the Tang Dynasty had given up.

It's worth to admire.

But now see.

It’s not only veterans who deserve admiration.

Including the homeless beggar who looked like a scoundrel at first.

Now, after Tianmu gave his story.

It turns out that he was also an admirable soldier who fought for his country until the last moment!

Although in Ying Zheng's view, both the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty were rebellious and false dynasties.

But as far as these ordinary soldiers are concerned.

Even Ying Zheng.

One has to admire them in awe.

Then Ying Zheng,

He also spoke to the ministers around him.

"See, this is what happens when you stop moving forward."

"If a dynasty does not advance, it will only decline."

"Tianmu also introduced the Tang Dynasty before, saying how glorious it was."

"Just looking at the area of ​​the country, it is indeed larger than my Great Qin!"

"But after stopping its advance, the Tang Dynasty was in such a state of disgrace."

"The border troops of the Tang Dynasty have become deserters and beggars."

“Even escorting military funds is difficult!”

"Why is that?"

"This is because, whether it's the Anxi Protectorate or the Beiting Protectorate."

"They have lost a strong country as a backup!"

"They no longer represent the power of the Chinese Empire to deter foreign invaders."

"So, our Great Qin must become strong!"

"We must maintain lasting suppression of the surrounding barbarians."

"This world is a world surrounded by wolves!"

"The struggle for hegemony among the princes back then and the gradual rise of the Qin Dynasty proved this point."

"And now, outside of Daqin."

"Countries like the Huns are still eyeing us covetously!"

"Don't think that the Qin is strong now. They dare not go south to herd horses."

"But one day, if the Qin Dynasty declines, if the rebels rebel!"

"The Xiongnu, or some other barbarian nation, or even many barbarian nations."

"They will definitely invade Daqin like crazy!"

Ying Zheng expressed his views.

Once again, I solemnly warned everyone.

"If you fall behind, you will be beaten!"

"We must keep Daqin strong and move forward! Move forward at all costs!"

And in the Song Dynasty.

Yue Fei saw these old soldiers who were holding on stubbornly.

See the beggar soldiers who tried to return to the Tang Dynasty with the last lives of their comrades and deliver letters to their families.

Tears already fell.

"The country is ruined but the mountains and rivers remain, the city is overgrown with grass and trees in spring, the flowers shed tears when they feel sad, the birds are startled when they feel sad..."

"The war lasted for three months..."

"A letter from home is worth a thousand pieces of gold..."

Yue Fei stood up, closed his eyes, and thought about what happened in the past.

During the Jingkang Incident.

The scene of the people's corpses piled up like mountains and filling the ditches.
