That night, Liu Shan and Lin Meng quietly left the Turkish camp near the Turkish camp. When they returned to the team, the team had almost gathered. Liu Shan and Lin Meng didn't care about resting at this time, and left the Turkish territory with the army that had been chasing the enemy for most of the day. The way back was very easy to recognize. Even in the desolate grasslands and deserts, no one was lost, because under the vague light of stars and moons, the pungent bloody smell and the corpses everywhere along the way clearly pointed the way for the soldiers.

In the next half month, the nomadic tribes on the grassland did not attack Liangzhou, and even a small group of grassland cavalry did not appear near Liangzhou. This allowed the soldiers of Liangzhou to have time to bury their comrades who died in the war. Although it was a great victory, the Liangzhou cavalry could not be unscathed.

When facing the dead soldiers' bodies, Liu Shan's expression was very heavy. There were soldiers who followed him from Xin'an, soldiers who recruited from Liangzhou, and Lin Meng's subordinates. Watching the soldiers take military cards from the bodies, the blood-stained military cards piled up in front of Liu Shan. Each military card represents a life. They are the child of an old man, the husband of a woman, and the father of several children. Their relatives have been silently blessing and praying for them in the distance, hoping that they can win as soon as possible and return home.

The wife can make new clothes for her husband and then put them on the young man. The child wants to tangle next to the young father's knees and play, asking his father for snacks, candied haws or pastries sold by street vendors. The old man kept watching at the entrance of the village, wanting to see his son appear at the intersection of the village, but nothing can be done.

The war in Liangzhou was won this time, but the dead were in Liu Shan's sight. He did not feel that victory could bring him any happiness and joy, but only the heavy responsibility and weight in his heart. He still accompanied the triumphant soldiers to drink fine wine and gathered with the joyful soldiers to chat and talk happily. But who could know that when the young general was left with no one, the general was so sad that he could solidify his blood when he touched the simple tombstone made of wood on the grave of the dead soldiers.

So many faces surrounded Liu Shan's mind. They handed their father, son and husband into their hands, but what they could send back to them was only military cards with blood stains and bloody smell that could not be dissipated. After winning the battle, the soldiers had reason to be happy. After winning the battle, the soldiers had reason to see their smiles. But how should they face those dead, those families with relatives who died in the war?

On the first day back to Liangzhou, someone saw his general sleeping all night, like a soldier, searching for dead soldiers on the battlefield with the soldiers, and burying them. On that night, after the soldiers were all asleep, the soldiers who were patrolling the night saw his general washing bloody military cards beside the pool in the army. He washed so seriously and carefully.

Later generations may find it strange that such a person who charges on the battlefield, gallops on the battlefield, faces thousands of enemies, never bows his head or is afraid of it, sometimes shows how much he cherishes life? Why has such a person with blood on his hands never had any bloody arrogance in his eyes?

No one will give the answer, nor will Liu Shan. He just buried the warrior's corpses and washed the bloody military cards. He drank wine with the soldiers for victory, and even sang with the soldiers next to the fire.

In Liushan's army, few people called him General, and young soldiers called him Brother Liu Shan. The name that started from the Mengjiagou rebel army and continued to the border of Liangzhou in the Tang Dynasty has not changed. Unless there are outsiders next to him, the soldiers will call him General, but that is not out of fear and fear. The general also contains the kindness of intimacy and brothers' life and death. Even the new soldiers, the people next to him will remind him immediately that he would not be happy when he sees Brother Liu Shan.

Liu Shan even said when chatting with the soldiers that he was also a small pawn, but the Tang Dynasty did not give me any official position. What do you think I am not a small pawn?

However, when Lin Meng really couldn't stand Liu Shan's behavior of burying the warrior's corpses, he persuaded Liu Shan to do the job.

Liu Shan did not stop his work, but just looked at the body that had not had time to be buried.

"I came to Liangzhou and saw other people's funeral teams several times, blowing and beating, and it was very lively. My relatives were mourning for the dead on the road and covered their faces and cried. When I was about to arrive in Liangzhou, I also saw a girl holding her father's body on the road and selling herself to bury her father. The soldiers did not have that kind of treatment. Those who died on the battlefield were like weeds that fled in the wilderness. Death came so easy. We did not have the time and strength to send the dead soldiers back to their homes, nor were we able to hold funerals for them one by one, or even have the ability to erect a stone tablet with names engraved for each of them. They once fought for their own country, and there was no timidity or cowardice in front of the enemy. They died for the country, so let me, the brother, send them the last one."

Liu Shan's words did not have any passionate words, nor any emotional sentences. There were only simple words that could not be simple anymore.

"Yes, I'll send you my brothers for a ride." Lin Meng also joined the ranks of burying the corpse.

No one expected that the Turkic army had not arrived at the border of Liangzhou for half a month. Seeing that the battlefield was cleaned and the city walls were reinforced, the enemy just did not appear in sight.

This made Lin Meng, who was always preparing to fight a big battle, feel a sense of loss of lifting a heavy hammer but hitting the empty space. Lin Meng went to Liu Shan every day to ask why Liu Shan's Turkic soldiers had not yet been attacked. According to Lin Meng, even if the Turkic people rode snails, they should climb to Liangzhou at this time. Liu Shan did not give Lin Meng the answer, but only said that it was because the Turkic people were riding a turtle. Lin Meng was puzzled and hurriedly told Liu Shan that the turtle was faster than the snail. Liu Shan took the conversation and said to Lin Meng that it was because the Turkic people were in a hurry to give birth to a turtle son.

Lin Meng didn't know why the Turks had not arrived yet, but Liu Shan still thought of it. The reason was very simple. The Turks were gathering troops.

On the night when the Turkic army retreated into the Turkic camp, in the camp, Jie Li Khan cut off the heads of more than a dozen Turkic tribe leaders. Xue Linlin, whose head was cut off, hung in the gate of the camp, hung in a whole row. Looking at the head hanging above the head, the defeated soldiers did not dare to say a word loudly.

The generals of the defeated soldiers knew deeply that their Khan's anger was that the Turks had not been defeated for a long time. They have always bullied the Han people in the south, and they had never been defeated by the Han people so much.

In order to save his life, the Turkic generals kept telling Khan that the Tang army had assembled a large number of troops in Liangzhou, and many troops were everywhere. The Tang army's battle flags alone blocked the wind in the air.

So, the latest battle report is like this: the vanguard of the Turks arrived in the north of Liangzhou. The cunning and shameless Tang army arranged a large number of ambushes in the north of Liangzhou. The brave Turkic cavalry accidentally fell into the encirclement that the Tang army had been carefully arranged, and was surrounded by the Tang army several times more than themselves. Although the Turkic soldiers were brave and powerful, there were too many opponents. After a bloody battle, although they repelled the Tang army's attacks again and again, there were too many opponents, and in the end they had to retreat.
