The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 266 Zhang Liao
The Han Dynasty has been established for hundreds of years and has deep roots.

This kind of thinking is deeply rooted in the hearts of many people, no matter the small people, the powerful, or the aristocratic families.

There may be lawless people, powerful ministers, and ambitious people, but many people actually feel that the rule of the Han Dynasty cannot be shaken from the bottom of their hearts.

Gaozu cut the white snake uprising and punished the Tyrant Qin.

Emperor Wu expelled the Xiongnu to the north, and the Han army sealed off the wolves as Xu, which shocked the world.

Although Wang Mang usurped the Han, he was still revived by Emperor Guangwu.

The Han Dynasty is the destiny, and this kind of thinking has also taken root in the hearts of everyone.

"Benevolence, Righteousness, Propriety, Wisdom, Faith."

Zhang Liao looked solemn, clenched his fists, and said nothing.

He knew his decision would change the course of his life.

Han Dynasty...Emperor...Country...

The education he received since he was a child and everything he sees now have a violent conflict.

Diligent in the administration of the king, but not in the affairs of the people; love the scholars and the people, but not the common people.

Is Xiaomin really not a human being?

Zhang Liao raised his head slowly, but his eyes were still full of confusion.

He thought of those ordinary soldiers in the army, and those ordinary people who saluted him by the roadside.

They also have family members, children, parents, and emotions.

They will feel hungry, sad, sad, and joyful. They are also real people.

But it seems that many officials and many people regard it as a dolphin dog.

The servants and servants in the family are private property, and they can be beaten, scolded and commanded at will.

Zhang Liao thought of Xu An's question again. If he lived in an ordinary peasant family, what would his life and situation be like? He couldn't answer, he couldn't imagine.

There is no sky, almost no ability to turn around.

Those ordinary soldiers beheaded the enemy and fought for their whole life, and they might be just a soldier until their death.

Promoting filial piety and honesty, generals, etc. are the treatment that can only be enjoyed by the children of powerful families. High-ranking officials can get their salaries at their fingertips, and selling officials and nobles is even more unscrupulous.

His family is not strong, so he can only be an ordinary county official. The ability of the family almost determines the ability of a person. His family is not strong, so if there is no accident, he will definitely not be able to ascend to a high position.

Is this all alone?
Zhang Liao clenched his fists tightly, and his body trembled a little.

Xu An watched the expression change on Zhang Liao's face, and he knew that the ideological struggle in Zhang Liao's mind must be extremely fierce.

"I read a book when I was a child."

Zhang Liao opened his eyes and looked at Xu An in confusion.

Hao Zhao was also a little puzzled, wondering why Xu An brought up this matter now.

"A person's life should be spent like this: When he looks back on the past, he will not regret for wasting his years, nor feel ashamed for doing nothing."

Remembrance appeared on Xu An's face, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

In the summer without air-conditioning, with the sound of the old-fashioned electric fan and the sound of cicadas, he sat on the mat with a popsicle in his mouth, and read the story of Paul Korchagin in the book.

"In this way, when he was dying, he could say: "My life and all my experiences are dedicated to the most magnificent cause in the world - fighting for the liberation of the common people in the world. "

Xu An looked at the confused Hao Zhao and said, "Do you still remember what I said during the military parade?"

Hao Zhao nodded, and Zhang Liao also remembered what happened just before.

Those extremely fanatical soldiers, those generals and schools who were screaming and fighting fiercely.

"Thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, China's wilderness, and the world, all the poor people, all the ordinary people, all the exploited, all the oppressed, all the bullied, are all my compatriots! I am all equal!"

"Save our compatriots, our compatriots who are suffering, from suffering!"

Xu An went not far from Zhang Liao and knelt down, looked at Zhang Liao who was still in a daze and said:
"The high-ranking officials in the temple only know about fighting for power and profit, and the powerful families only know about pleasure. In the sixth year of Xiping, the Han army was defeated in the fortress. It has been ten years since then, but what has the court done?"

"The northern region is unstable, but Bingzhou has been relying on a small number of troops for defense. The Hulu invaded the south and harassed many people, but no one cares about it."

"Chaos has arisen, rebellions are rampant, and the big man has lost his destiny. The heaven is dead, and the yellow sky should stand!"

Xu An took another step forward and stared into Zhang Liao's eyes.

"The direction of the world is in my heart. If Wen Yuan also has doubts in his heart, I can make two predictions to prove the destiny."

Zhang Liao looked puzzled. He had indeed heard that Xu An was a prophet with unfathomable powers, but Zhang Liao was not the kind of person who believed in rumors. He always believed that seeing is believing and hearing is believing.

"First, the rebellion in Youzhou is imminent. Generals Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju will join forces with Wuhuan in the rebellion to attack Youzhou and invade Jizhou. The momentum is so great that officers and soldiers cannot stop it, and the court cannot control it."

"Secondly, the emperor of the Han Dynasty has a short lifespan, and will die within a few years."

The pupils in Zhang Liao's eyes suddenly dilated, and Hao Zhao beside him was also full of shock.

It is not uncommon for Zhang Liao, a wandering Taoist, to have seen those warlocks. Many people also made predictions, but they were all ambiguous and their words were vague. But why Xu An dared to be so sure in his words.

The Youzhou rebellion can also be explained. If it was secretly instigated by the Yellow Turban Army, it would be helpful, then Xu An knew that the Youzhou rebellion was understandable. After all, it was planned in advance.

But Xu An said that the emperor of the Han Dynasty would pass away soon, so how could he play tricks?

To bribe the emperor's nearest medical officer?If you want to poison the emperor, you must either control all the medical officials to tamper with pharmacology, or control one of them, between delivering medicine and boiling medicine.

But this is almost impossible to do, the delivery of medicine, brewing and so on are definitely supervised by the emperor's cronies, and there is more than one person, it is almost impossible to bribe or cheat.

As for controlling all the medical officials, even those powerful ministers with clear hands and eyes, or those giant families, couldn't easily do it without making the emperor suspicious.

There is never a shortage of people who are proficient in pharmacology by the emperor's side to identify good medicines and poisons for the emperor.

If the Yellow Turban Army can achieve this level, then the world can even be said to be in the pocket of the Yellow Turban Army. It can poison the emperor, but how can it not poison other ministers depends on how deeply the imperial court has invaded.

"Wen Yuan is temporarily serving in our army, and now Bingzhou is in my hands. Before that, you were only a magistrate of a county. If our army was defeated and the company was liquidated, you would just follow the county magistrate and belong to him. The guilt is still small. "

"Nowadays, there are many generals and academies serving in our army in the Han Army of Bingzhou. If the emperor of the Han Dynasty wants to be implicated, then there is no one in the border county of Bingzhou who can defend him against the Huns."
