Chapter three hundred and forty fourth monument
"I know." Gu Qing nodded, knowing in his heart that Changsun Wuji completely excluded Li Er from power this time.
The army was repairing here, and the weather was very hot. The soldiers from Shanhaiguan took off their coats and didn't want to move in the hot air. Every place where they could hide from the sun was crowded, for fear of being there.
Gu Qing covered the headache and walked out of the pass by the hot body. Yang Sheng handed a book to Gu Qing, "You said you want to do what you want."
After taking the list, Gu Qing looked at it and looked at Shanhaiguan again, "I understand."
"Tell me what you want." Yang Sheng said, "They are all Guanzhong children who died in the war. I can survive the war again and again, know how humble life is on the battlefield, and what I want to do for them."
There are only a few hundred names written on the long file, and Gu Qing also knows that there are still many names that have not been written on it, "I want to erect a huge stone tablet, facing a wall of stone tablets."
"Okay!" Yang Sheng nodded and stood up to do it.
Gu Qing walked to Su Dingfang who was packing his baggage and said, "Can you give me some manpower?"
"What are you going to do?" Su Dingfang was puzzled.
"I want to erect a monument to Guanzhong who died in battle."
Su Dingfang stopped his movements, "How many people do you want?"
"A few thousand." Gu Qing said.
After Su Dongfang walked into the army and gave instructions to several sergeant commanders and generals, he pulled out ten thousand people, "I'll leave these people to you."
"Thank you!" Gu Qing bowed and said.
"Why are we polite!" Su Dongfang smiled suddenly, "I have anything else to do, I'm welcome. It's okay to use some people now."
Shanhaiguan began to get busy and built a wall on the coast. Gu Qing was carrying people to engrave names one after another. Some of these names were a little scholarly, while others were very simple. Cen Wenben nodded secretly when he saw this scene from a distance.
Day after day, seven days later...
There are dense names engraved on the huge stone wall, and a shadow appears under the stone wall under the sun. Sometimes a big wave will hit the stone wall.
"It's easy to go." Gu Qing looked at these names, "You shouldn't be silent when you die in war."
"Okay!" Yang Sheng looked at the huge stone wall, "It's time for us to go back."
Su Dingfang also looked at the big stone tablet, which was more precisely a wall. In the future, many people would pass by Shanhaiguan and see these names. Many people would also remember the cruelty of war, and the world was not easy to defend. The people did not expect much, only peace in the world. After so many years, the Central Plains have been war again and again. During the war, the people could not live for their own sake, but for the ambitions of the kings, their work was robbed, and they took up a knife on the battlefield.
Su Dingfang may have endured wars, but it is also a war against foreign countries. The war between the Guanzhong people and the Guanzhong people does not want to happen again. There will be many tears in the war between the own people. War is the business of the soldiers, and it is the downside of the cart to the people.
"What's wrong?" Gu Qing looked at Su Dingfang who was motionless.
"Gu Qing, why do you think we are fighting?" Su Dingfang said.
"For the peace of the Central Plains and for the people of the Central Plains." Gu Qing said, "I don't know much. I just know that defending the border can make the people live a good life."
"Yes!" Su Dingfang's eyes were a little clear, "Our protection of the border is the best explanation to the people of the Central Plains."
"The weather is so hot." Li Tai sat under the tree, "What did you two say? Come and enjoy the cool under the tree."
Li Tai was sweating profusely. The weather was really hot and speechless. The three of them sat under the shade of the tree and drank cold water.
"I really want to go to Chang'an now, eat ice and sit in the cool home, and listen to your teasing." Li Tai put all the focus of his body on the big tree behind him, "It's so hot."
"Yes." Gu Qing looked at Li Tai, "I'm already familiar with each other."
"Go to you!" Li Tai pushed Gu Qing, "You are just familiar."
"Gu Qing, I heard you can make ice?" Su Dingfang remembered something.
"Yes!" Li Tai also came to his spirits, "Are I still afraid of heat with you here? Hurry up and make ice for me."
"Don't go." Gu Qing lay under the shade of the tree.
"Why?!" Li Tai was already anxious.
"Because I'm lazy." Gu Qing sniffed and looked at Li Tai's sad face, "Okay, okay!"
Gu Qing had no choice but to sit up, and ask your subordinates to find saltpeter. I will teach them how to make ice."
"Yes!" Li Tai nodded vigorously.
On a hot day, even the scenery in the distance was distorted by the sun. In order to take care of the soldiers, Li Jie decided to march to Chang'an until early in the morning.
In fact, the method of making ice in saltpeter is very simple. After Gu Qing finished telling the soldiers, "You can teach this method to others and find cool down yourself. Remember that the ice made from saltpeter is not edible."
"Yes!" Several soldiers left immediately after receiving the words and began to make ice.
Therefore, the method of making ice in saltpeter quickly became popular in the army, and with this method, the soldiers' heat problem was also solved. At night, the army started to march slowly towards Chang'an and disturbed many fireflies along the way.
He marched until the early morning and stopped marching on the spot.
When the local people saw an army coming, they took out part of their food from their homes to give it to the army.
"Several generals, these are the eggs laid by the old hens in the family." Gu Qing asked as he looked at more than ten eggs, "How many old hens do you have in your family."
"There is one." The woman said with a smile.
Gu Qing looked at the eggs and didn't accept them, "You've saved these eggs for a long time."
"Please accept it, General." The civilian woman said.
There have been more than ten old hens eggs, and Li Tai also saw that these eggs had been saved for a long time. Looking at the woman's rough hands, he said, "We have enough military rations. We can't ask for these eggs and grains. You can go back."
"General, please accept it." The civilian woman thought she had offended these three generals.
"It's really not necessary." Li Tai continued to shirk away and said with a smile, "We have the food and grass for the march ourselves. Let's leave these eggs for your children to eat. Besides, it's already very disturbing that we have come to your village."
