C3539 Western sign of lifting coffin

The ancient yellow sand road, the northwest wind was biting cold! Just as Zuo Zongtang was about to order his troops, a gust of wind suddenly blew past, causing sand and rocks to fly everywhere.

The fist-sized rock on the ground rolled. On the mountain ranges on both sides of the road, you could see the mischievous rock repeatedly nodding its head. It was about to fall off.

"Protect the marshal..." "Protect the marshal!" The loyal guards had followed them since they were at peace with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. This group of people had long since merged with the marshal, and their lives were entangled with each other.

The marshal was their god, the blessing of the younger generation of their entire family!

This gust of wind was at least at level 10, with howls coming from all directions like demons and devils. The stone struck the soldier's head, causing blood to spurt out.

"Shield Formation!" One by one, the wooden shields were raised up as the soldiers leaned against the northwest gale with their backs to each other!

Crack! Crack! Crack! The stone hit the wooden shield and gave off a strange image. It was as if there were ghost soldiers fighting in a sandstorm!

In the face of the might of the heaven and earth, Zuo Zongtang did not avoid it and walked out of the curtain.

"I came here carrying a coffin. I never thought of going back alive …" Some demons and ghosts are blocking my way, don't even think of succeeding! "

"Ignore this Yao Feng …" "First, bring your father's coffin forward!"

"We obey the commander-in-chief's order!"

The 32 Tie Ta like guards rushed to the carriage. At this moment, the large animal was so scared by Yao Feng that it did not dare to move. Animals were, after all, animals that were terrified of the might of the heaven and earth.

At this time, only people who wanted to fight would dare to move forward. Only a man with iron body would dare to go head on against the wind!

"Untie the reins of the animals..." Brothers, carry the coffin! "

The wooden poles were crossed together and tied together with thick hemp rope. Soon, the poles carried by the 32 people were tied together!

The chief guard with half of his body lifted the wooden pole on his shoulder. "Rise!" Carrying the coffin forward! " The red lacquered South Nunmu coffin slowly rose up from the carriage, relying on its manpower to fend off the wind as it moved forward!

The forces of nature and human were forged together, up ahead was the Jiayuguan, tens of thousands of soldiers could not even look back!

Zuo Zongtang squinted as he looked up to the sky, "Is that all you've got? Hehehe … This little bit of demonic wind wants to scare me? I have brought over a hundred thousand soldiers. Ever since I left the Central Plains, I have never thought of returning alive! "

"I would actually like to see a demon like you from the Western Regions have great skill!" "It was my hundred thousand soldiers that had such high fighting spirit!"

"Your f * cking cultivation experience can destroy the blessings of my one hundred thousand elites. You can suppress the conduct of me, a hundred thousand Central Plains men!" So what if I die here? "

"This little one is nearly sixty …" Enough! "

Zuo Zongtang suddenly jumped on his horse and shouted to the personal guards who were carrying the coffin and the surrounding soldiers, "Don't think that Marshal is bringing you guys to your deaths! Don't think that I will forget about your contributions! "

"The Western Regions was our home back in the Han Dynasty. Even after thousands of years, we still haven't forgotten a single day … You want to take our home from us? You don't even have a door, just step over my dead body! "

"Brothers!" I told you the truth... After taking down the Western Regions, this will be our new home! "

"We will share all the money we earn in the future in the reconstruction of the Western Regions! Give your children and grandchildren an indestructible share! "

"Not even afraid of death, afraid of this bit of demonic wind?"

Tens of thousands of people on the road shouted together, "I didn't cultivate in my previous life, but now I have fallen to a murderous battle!" If we don't go all out in this life, can it be that our children and grandchildren will have to exchange their lives for food like us? "

"If even the marshal is willing, then what is there to be reluctant about?" It's time to go west... "It's time to go west …"

The old yellow sand road was filled with the cries of conquest. A good man's blood was boiling at that moment, and it actually suppressed the might of heaven and earth!

The wind died down amidst the cheers, and when this devilish heavens gave way, the entire army burst into excited roars like a tsunami.

"Oh my god! If we are strong, he will go soft!" "Hahaha …"

Looking at the army's morale suddenly recovering, Zuo Zongtang laughed and said, "Tonight, the dinner standards are doubled! We have to make sure that all our brothers can eat broth... Divide a batch of canned beef that was imported from the Ryukyu! "

"Yes!" "Many thanks to Great Master for his understanding of brother …"

Zuo Zongtang spurred his horse and rushed to a high hillside by the side of the road. He raised his horse whip and pointed towards the wilderness, then shouted, "Pass my order to the people behind us to quickly purchase saplings, willow trees, poplar trees, sand dates … "As long as you can adapt to the climate here, you will need them all!"

"Find the old herdsmen and the local people, search for the underground water network... My huge army of one hundred thousand can't just fight! "Plant a tree for me!"

"Ah?" To plant trees! " Liu Jintang was immediately stunned.

"That's right, I want to plant trees …" If he didn't come to the Western Regions, he wouldn't have known the suffering here. We can't just destroy it, we have to learn how to build it! "

"Go along the water system and plant trees for me. Go along the road and plant trees for me …" "Not only that, but those who plant trees must hang up their business cards and be responsible for their survival!"

"Besides war, the rest of the time is spent training and planting trees. There is no reason for troops stationed here to be lazy!"

"It's time to plant the trees!" "The trees on both sides of the road must be hung with red lanterns every ten steps to avoid colliding with each other during the night …"

"I hope... "When I successfully return to the capital to report on my work, I will be able to walk under the shade of the trees towards the capital!"

"Brothers!" Where are we from? "

Zuo Zongtang questioned as everyone around him answered in unison, "Huxiang's disciples!"

"Good!" Our hometown isn't like this. Now that we've arrived at our new home, no matter what, we have to build it as if it was our hometown … It has to be a place filled with food and fish! "

"We have to make a show! To compare the people of the Western Regions … Do you want to live a good life with them, Yaqub, or do you want to live a good life with us Chinese! "

Liu Jintang immediately understood as he clapped his hands and cheered, "That's right! That's it! "Pass down the order, the marshal will plant the left gongliang along the way!"

"From today onwards, all the willow trees in the Western Regions … I have to change my name to Zuo Gongliu! "

Zuo Zongtang was stunned when he heard it. "Isn't this a little too much …"

"How can this be counted? It should be done! "That's how it should be called …"

Since then, Xinjiang has had a unique species called 'Zongliu' until the 21st century.

This demonic wind was suppressed by the blood and Qi of the one hundred thousand Huxiang disciples, and after the sandstorm subsided, the distant Jiayuguan also gradually revealed her true appearance.

"Jiayuguan... End of the Great Wall... There's a jade gate behind it, the end of the Great Wall of Han Dynasty... "After this place, there will no longer be any traces of the Central Plains. This is the true Western Regions …"

That night, Zuo Zongtang entered the Jiayuguan and the army set up camp by the Great Wall.

At the same time, the messenger pigeons and horses heading towards Guizhou had already set out with Zuo Zongtang's order.
