The Heavens Begin with the Dharma of Absorbing Power

Chapter 959: Roushan Luqiu Is Posthumously Named Wenzhen, and One Hundred Thousand White Armors Return to Beiliang

Beimang Xijing City, this is Xu Xin's second time here. This time, he only brought Xu Xiao and Xu Weixiong with him.

When they arrived at Xijing City, they only saw the same battlefield that looked like a millstone of flesh and blood, with corpses staggered for hundreds of miles. The remaining Beiliang troops and the remnants of the Spring and Autumn Period who had defected before the battle were cleaning the battlefield.

Xu Xin and Xu Weixiong followed Xu Xiao to the most eye-catching corpse mountain. They were dressed in blood-stained white clothes and holding a knife in front of the corpse mountain. It was Xu Fengnian. He also participated in the Liangmang War, but he did not go to the north. Mang grassland, but fought bloody battles with Chu Lushan in the Northern Mang and Southern Dynasties.

Xu Xin and the others teleported directly from Beimang Grassland. At this time, the sun was setting in the west and the temperature began to drop. When they looked up, they saw corpses with frozen blood. Looking from a distance, this corpse mountain looked like a red pass.

At the top of the corpse mountain, a fat man was lying down, and another fat man was sitting on him. The fat man lying upside down was Dong Zhuo, who stayed in Beimang and the Southern Dynasty, and the one sitting was Chu Lushan, the general of Qianniu, Dragon and Tiger of Beiliang.

The two world-famous fat men fought a bloody battle, but Lu Qiu'er, who was holding a cold knife and leaning on it, won in the end. Seeing him finally looking up at the Beimang grassland with a smile on his face, I think he was very happy.

"Lu Qiu'er is dead, he fought Dong Zhuo to death."

"Why!"

"Why must we fight this battle!"

"tell me!"

Xu Fengnian turned his head, and as soon as he raised the cold knife in his hand, he was knocked sideways by Xu Xiao's scabbard, and then the prince almost collapsed and shouted.

Xu Xiao sighed in his heart. He could understand Xu Fengnian's mood and his friendship with Chu Lushan, but Xu Xiao's son could never point a knife at his brother.

"Xu Fengnian, you know very well that even if we don't take the initiative to fight this battle, Beimang will go south again sooner or later, and you can't use Chen Zhibao. By then, more people will die."

"Chu Lushan died well. Just one Chu Lushan died, and he took over Beimang and Southern Dynasty."

"That's a good thing."

"Such a price is worth paying."

"What you can't accept is just because the person who died is Chu Lushan, your good brother."

Xu Xin's words were completely silenced by Xu Fengnian, because everything the former said accurately came to his heart, and this was the truth of everything.

It's not that Xu Fengnian doesn't understand sacrifice, he just "values ​​feelings" and values ​​the familiar people around him. If those who caught his eye sacrifice, he will be inconsolable and heartbroken.

For example, so many people died in the battlefields of Beimang and Southern Dynasties, and countless generals died in the battle of Liangmang, but the only one he cared about was Chu Lushan.

"Didn't Chu Bacha always want to be a civil servant leader? Didn't he want to be named Wenzhen? Just give it to him."

"The Emperor of the Zhao family is mean and ungrateful, but my Xu family will not be like that."

After Xu Xin said these two sentences, he glanced at Chu Lushan who was sitting on the top of the corpse mountain.

In a daze, it seemed that the smile on the fat man's face became even brighter.

Chu Lushan, who was loyal, brave, treacherous and evil, risked his life to kill Dong Zhuo, who stayed in Beimang and Southern Dynasties. This was also his best ending, and his death was the most valuable.

"ah!!!"

Xu Xin left, but Xu Fengnian remained where he was, roaring with great sadness, but he knew that this was the best outcome.

A posthumous title is a final word for a person, especially a courtier, and is a posthumous name. In the Spring and Autumn Period, when heroes competed for power, after Li Yang aspired to the throne, there were clear regulations on the posthumous titles of subordinates. There were two sayings: "A scholar should be named twenty-four" and "A man should be named eighteen."

Among the civil officials, Wen Zheng is the leader, but this posthumous title has been vacant for a hundred years. Wen Zhen is closely followed. Everyone in the government and the public regards "Wen Zhen" as the treasure of the current chief assistant Zhang Julu, followed by Zhong Duan Yasu Yi and others, a total of two Fourteen words.

Civil servants attach great importance to posthumous titles, and the merits of military generals are no exception. There are relatively few words that are paired with the word "武", but there are still as many as eighteen. Therefore, there is a saying that a man should be given a posthumous title of eighteen. The word Yi takes the first place, and the first nine are "Yili, Ningjing, Pingxiang". Jing Minsu, it is rumored that the general Gu Jiantang has been given the posthumous title Wu Jing, while the third posthumous title of Yilie Ning has been unavailable.

Military officers are not as good as civil servants, and their posthumous titles are often assigned at a lower level. Generally speaking, it is a great honor to be among the top nine. This is related to the fact that the ruling family despises generals. If a military general can be given a posthumous title in writing, it will be even more glorious.

However, this kind of honor is basically only favored by military attachés who come from wealthy and powerful families, because there are people in their families who can speak out and make final decisions on this kind of matter. Good for you, good for me, good for everyone, just like the Tangxi Sword of the Lu family in Jiangnan Road. If Xianlu Baijie could become a military officer, his posthumous title might not be preceded by words.

To put it bluntly, these posthumous things are a game of power.

Emperors and aristocratic families like to use this method to deal with those from poor families and generals. Even if they can't do anything to you in life, they will give you evil posthumous names and crazy slander after death, which will disgust you to death.

However, this kind of game requires someone to play with them in order for them to be able to play it.

Xu Xin felt that the people who were now given posthumous names were not fair enough, so he was ready to overturn the table.

Who said that the word "文" that begins with the word "文" must mean a civil official? Compared with military generals, most civil servants today are in power who do not do practical things. They use all their intelligence in intrigues and are complacent from time to time.

Is this kind of person worthy of a posthumous title?

When he conquers the world, he will restart the process of "generating generals and entering prime ministers". Strong generals will be sent to the ranks of soldiers, and prime ministers and assistants will start from the local area. Only those who cannot be civil servants will become military generals. In this way, ministers who come from the local area will be able to judge posthumous titles. It will be more fair.

As for using culture to control military force, suppressing generals is the right way? Those who do such things are basically those who are not in the right position, such as the Zhao family... those who advocate such remarks are basically incompetent rotten cynics, such as... the teacher of all generations...

Many thoughts flashed through Xu Xin's mind, but they all passed by. Finally, he walked into Xijing City again, met Beiliang Military Advisor Li Yishan, and met the survivors of the Spring and Autumn Period who had taken root in Beimang for many years and turned against them at the critical moment. , expressed cordial condolences and comforted people's hearts.

When he finished all this, Xu Xiao, Xu Fengnian and others also took care of the affairs behind Chu Lushan and others. Chu Bacha was put into a coffin and prepared to return to Beiliang with the army. His old rival Dong Zhuo also fought with him. The dead lady was buried.

The Beiliang army did not humiliate the Beimang civil and military officials and soldiers who died in the battle. They properly handled their aftermath, which was also part of winning people's hearts.

The bloody battle between Beiliang and Beimang came to an end. More than 300,000 Beiliang troops left the border, and in the end only 100,000 blood-stained Baijia returned to Beiliang.

Of course, it was not that more than 200,000 people died in the battle, but that most of the remaining Beiliang troops moved to the two states of Beimang and Southern Dynasty to build a new defense line after dealing with the battlefield in Beimang grassland.

Li Yishan and Chen Zhibao stayed outside the pass, one was in charge of politics and the other was in charge of the army. Xu Weixiong and Xu Xin were prepared to leave her in Beiliang to take charge of the overall situation, and cooperated with Chen Zhibao and Li Yishan who stayed in Beimang and the Southern Dynasty to jointly resist the Northern Dynasty in Beimang. The next counterattack was a counterattack.

As for the 100,000 Baijia who returned to Beiliang, they will go south to Tai'an City with the Xu family and his son to seek a good posthumous title for Chu Lushan and others, and to get a result for the Baiyi case in the capital.
