Return to the Three Kingdoms with the Empire System

Chapter 221 Song Xian's Funeral
After hearing Ye Mo say that Song Xian's body would be cremated immediately, the wounded who should have been sent to the rear immediately asked to stay and see Song Xian on his last journey.Ye Mo looked at the soldiers, looking at their firm eyes despite their ragged clothes and sallow complexion, and couldn't help but nodded.

Soon, all the soldiers who were not on duty were gathered on the largest playground in the pass.In the middle of the playground, Song Xian's coffin was placed, and some firewood was piled up underneath.Around the coffin, Ye Mo, Hou Cheng and other generals stood there, even though there was an unpleasant smell coming from the coffin, no one covered their noses and waved their hands.

The soldiers who returned to Hangu Pass formed a square formation facing the rear of Song Xian's coffin.As for the other soldiers in the pass, they were separated on both sides.All the soldiers, because there was not enough white cloth to make mourning clothes, spontaneously wore their middle coats on top of their armors.

All the soldiers in the pass, except the one thousand soldiers who had just returned to the pass, were all dressed in white, even the soldiers guarding the pass.The whole scene, it seems, is full of mournful atmosphere.

At this time, night began to fall, but because Song Xian's body had already started to rot, Ye Mo did not dare to let Song Xian's body stay overnight in the barracks, so he could only choose to burn it.

Holding a torch in his hand, Ye Mo said loudly to the people around him: "General Song Xian, since he joined the army, he has followed General Lu Bu to fight against the barbarians outside. Army ambushed, General Song Xian died in order to cover the retreat of others."

Speaking of this, Ye Mo glanced at the other people, and then said: "A man of ambition, wrapped in horse leather; there was Fubo before, and Song Xian now; it hurts Song Xian, the sky is jealous of his flowers, and he died in a foreign land; Xian, devoted himself to serving as an official, and sacrificed his life for the country."

After a word, those who heard it directly shed tears.The generals of Lu Bu's faction, such as Hao Meng and Cao Xing, were even more moved.Song Xian did die in Tongguan, and it was because of Ye Hua that Ye Mo did not hide this fact. After those people came back, Ye Mo asked them about the cause of Song Xian's death.Ye Mo also knew that sooner or later Hou Cheng and others would know that Song Xian died because of Ye Hua.

Ye Mo didn't hide it, because Ye Mo didn't want Lu Bu's family to turn against them in the future.Although the generals of Lu Bu's family are very close to the generals of Ye's family, this relationship is based on a balance between the two sides. Ye Xi turned his face.

Now, at Song Xian's funeral, Ye Mo raised Song Xian's status infinitely, even comparable to General Fubo Ma Yuan. It can be said that this is an extremely high praise for Song Xian.In this way, it can also infinitely downplay the fact that Song Xian is because of Ye Hua's death, and it can also calm the mood of Hao Meng and others.

In fact, it is true.Hao Meng and others have a very good relationship with Song Xian, but Song Xian could have escaped, but died to save Ye Hua at the last moment, which made it difficult for these people to face Ye Hua with some resentment.It's just that Ye Hua is also seriously injured now, so they didn't say anything.

But now, Ye Mo's words at Song Xian's funeral made Song Xian's rescue a myth, which made Hao Meng and others think about the problem in a different way.Song Xian rescued Ye Hua because Ye Hua rescued Song Xian and others first, and Ye Hua was seriously injured because of saving others, and it was only natural for Song Xian to save Ye Hua.After thinking this through, Hao Meng and the others looked at Ye Hua differently.

"General Hao Meng, the general has the closest relationship with General Song Xian on weekdays. Today, let the general send General Song Xian on his last journey." After speaking, Ye Mo handed the torch in Hao Meng's hand.

Hao Meng was stunned. According to the rules, he was not qualified.In terms of official positions, there were many people present who were more senior than him.Although Hao Meng is a good general in Lu Bu's hands, his official position is actually not high.At this time, Hao Meng saw that Ye Mo didn't look like he was faking it, and was immediately moved. He felt even more ashamed of his previous thoughts.

Hao Meng took the torch from Ye Mo, walked up to Song Xian's coffin, said something for some reason, and then threw the torch in his hand onto the pile of firewood.In a blink of an eye, a raging fire was ignited on the pile of firewood.

Seeing the fire igniting, the defenders on the wall put all the military flags on the ground and put up white flags one after another.These white flags do not mean surrender, but only express grief.

Looking at the raging flames, Song Xian's body was taken away.Although this is not from the Ye family, Ye Mo still couldn't help crying.Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.Everyone has made excuses for not having a sense of belonging in a strange place, but who can control their emotions when something like this really happens?
"Wear iron armor and carry a long knife; fight with your son, the road is long. If you fight with the enemy, you will live and die together; fight with your son, and your heart will not slacken. Step on the swallows, chase the beard; fight with your son, sing fearlessly. "Looking at this situation, Ye Mo couldn't help singing in a low voice.

In Ye Mo's previous life, this was the military song of the great Han that was widely circulated.However, Ye Mo discovered in the Han Dynasty that there was no such thing as military songs at that time.In some ceremonies, the soldiers of the Han Dynasty will also sing some songs, but most of them are "Qin Feng Wuyi".

Hearing Ye Mo sing, the others were stunned for a moment, but after hearing clearly what Ye Mo sang, everyone unconsciously began to sing along with Ye Mo's rhythm.So, all of a sudden, tens of thousands of people sang this impassioned poem at the same time, sending General Song Xian away.

At first, everyone just felt sad when they heard this poem, but gradually, everyone began to feel passionate.In the end, the singing was so loud that it spread directly to the camps of the Xiliang Army outside the pass, making the Xiliang Army unconsciously tense up.

The blood of all the soldiers of the imperial court was boiling. Although Song Xian's ashes were collected later, the crowd was still reluctant to disperse for a long time, and even the generals and soldiers demanded to fight on the spot, wanting to avenge Song Xian and the dead soldiers. .But, how could Ye Mo agree now?

After forcing the soldiers to go back to the camp to sleep, Ye Mo called Hao Meng aside alone, and said: "General Song Xian died, and we also feel extremely sad. However, the ashes of General Song Xian, please return the ashes. Luoyang, in order to be commended by the court."

Hao Meng didn't want to leave at first, Song Xian died in Yuan Shao's hands, Hao Meng knew that the day to send troops to the Xiliang Army was not far away, so Hao Meng naturally didn't want to leave at this time.However, Song Xian's ashes had to be sent back to Luoyang.In desperation, Hao Meng could only agree.

As long as the horse is fast, Hao Meng can also catch up with the final use of troops against Yuan Shao.Moreover, relying on the relationship between Hao Meng and Song Xian, if he doesn't go, there will be no more suitable candidates.
