Northern Dynasties: Heluo Remnants, Twenty-Seven Soldiers at the Beginning

In later generations, someone passing through Yecheng once paid tribute to Gao Huan with a poem: After singing the song of Yinshan's imperial edict, the hero burst into tears. He holds the Tianhu of the Wei and Wu dynasties in life, and in death he is awarded the title of Tiao Hou to kill the bandit Ge. The spread of Huayi rumors in the six towns was revealed, and wind and rain in Kowloon gathered in the Zhanghe River. Only now there is still a clear flowing moon, which once illuminated the high king's thousands of horses passing by. However, in the third year of Wuding, the Chile song had not yet reached the night when the hero shed tears, and the thousands of horses under the command of King Gao were still galloping back and forth on both sides of the Yellow River. Shen Que woke up at this time and became a nineteen-year-old deputy in the Heyang garrison. He had a book of military registration for fifty people in his hand, but only twenty-seven people came at midnight, and the food issued by the official warehouse was only enough for seventeen people. Among the rest, some are dead, some have never existed, and some have soldiers who cannot be seen in the light behind their names. Shen Que originally just wanted to lead his men to survive that winter. But if you want people to live, you must have food; if you want to keep food, you must have a sword; if you want the sword to obey orders, you must have military posts, land, cities, and a set of rules that do not regard living people as numbers in the accounts. As a result, the twenty-seven incomplete Heyang garrison soldiers gradually walked out of Baipo, walked past the jade wall, and entered Luoyang. They also entered the era when Northern Qi and Northern Zhou competed for the world. As for the heroes remembered in later poems, the thousands of horses gathering in the Zhanghe River, and the clear moon that illuminated the rise and fall of Ye City, Now that Shen Que is here, they may not have their original ending.
