Mountains and Rivers Do Not Remember the Nameless Ones

It took the Liang Dynasty three years to finally recover the four towns in Qidi. The triumphal edict spread throughout the world, and Pei Jingchuan, who actually captured Shuochuan, an important town in the far north, was left to defend the city. To the south of Shimen Ridge, the heroes were granted the title of marquis, and peace flourished with singing and dancing; to the north of Shimen Ridge, he only received 1,200 exhausted soldiers, a granary that was 40% empty, and an edict "not to abandon the city." Soon, the old emperor died and the four towns were in chaos again. The troops of the Northern Plains troops approached the city, and the Allied troops from the Beihai Islands also followed the water route southward. Heavy snow closed the mountains and cut off food routes. More than 10,000 soldiers and civilians in Shuochuan were isolated from the dynasty's territory. Should the last measure of food be given to the soldiers guarding the city, or to the dying child? Should the last medicine save your own people or the enemy who laid down his weapons? While the court is still debating whether an isolated city is worth saving, the people in the city have begun recording the names of each deceased person. In the capital, some people risked the crime of deceiving the emperor to raise food and leave; on the Henggu Road, some people opened the closed city gate with caravans and letters of pardon; in the enemy camp, there were also people who doubted for the first time whether the hatred left by their ancestors was worthy of the next generation to continue to repay. Sixteen months later, Anyuan Pass opened in a blizzard. Those who returned did not bring back any good news that symbolized victory, but only brought back a directory soaked in blood and wind and snow. The court wanted to remember a war. They just want those who failed to come back to no longer be nameless.
