The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 725

The boy is supposed to die in the wilderness, and his body is wrapped in horse leather and his ears are buried...

It's a pity that he can only die on this sick bed after all.

Gai Xun pulled the corner of his mouth with difficulty, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

"Help me up."

Gai Xun's face turned ruddy again, and his body regained some strength.

Gai Xun is very aware of his current physical condition, he has already drunk the whole bowl of ginseng soup just now.

Gai Xun knew very well when he needed to take ginseng soup for his illness.

Ginseng soup is not for curing diseases for him now, but for hanging his life.

With Huangfusong's support, Gai Xun stood up with difficulty, almost half of his body was leaning against Huangfusong's body, even though the ginseng soup gave his body some strength again, Gai Xun still stood up. Unable to stand on his own, the illness has tortured him for too long, almost completely destroying his body.

No one could believe that this haggard, white-haired old man was only fifty-one years old.

No one could believe that this emaciated old man, a few years ago, had led hundreds of soldiers to fight against tens of thousands of Qiang cavalry.

"Really..."

Gai Xun raised his head, looked outside the Nuan Pavilion, shook his head and sighed.

"It's hard..."

Huangfu Song didn't speak.

Gai Xun was right, the current situation in Hanting is indeed extremely difficult.

Yizhou has been occupied by the Yellow Turban Army in just a few months, and even Jiangguan, the most important channel leading to Jingyi, has fallen into the hands of the Yellow Turban Army.

The world is difficult, but everyone in the court is not of one mind.

"Although Wang Zishi is talented, it is only superficial. His vision is shallow and it is difficult to see for a long time."

Zishi is Wang Yun's character, and Wang Zishi is exactly Wang Yun.

"Master Zi doesn't know what he is planning, but now that the court is clean and the foreign enemies have not been eradicated, it is extremely unwise to point the finger at his own people. You must not let Teacher Wang be too reckless."

"Although people's hearts are unpredictable, since Sun Jian started his army, he has always respected and obeyed the Son of Heaven, and he has never surpassed him in the slightest."

"Bingwei entered Luo, the first thing to do after regaining the capital is to repair the Taimiao, repair the tombs, and seal the palace and the city."

"Even if Luoyang got the seal, it was also dedicated to the emperor."

Gai Xun's spirit has improved a bit, now he can stand up while supporting Huangfusong's hand, and he can even walk slowly.

"Ordered by the sky...that is, longevity and prosperity..."

"At that time, if Sun Jian really had a different heart, I'm afraid it's the world..."

Gai Xun didn't finish his sentence, but Huangfusong knew what Gai Xun was going to say.

At the beginning, Sun Jian was under his tent as a general, and he knew what kind of person Sun Jian was.

Although times have changed and people's hearts are unpredictable, Sun Jian has always done everything a Hanchen should do without any overstepping.

Hundreds of thousands of Kwantung coalition forces stopped in Huai County and Suanzao, the coalition forces were newly defeated, and when the world was silent, only Sun Jian was still fighting.

Beiping Yellow Turban, Nandang bandits, crusade against Dong Zhuo...

It's just that in the past, Dong Zhuo was in chaos in Beijing and wanted to abolish the emperor.

At that time, Yuan Shao confronted Dong Zhuo when all the officials were silent, drew his sword and angrily denounced Dong Zhuo for his atrocities.

Yuan Shao at that time was also dedicated to serving the country and impassioned.

It's just that now, it is a separatist party, who calls himself emperor, and has already become a traitor.

People's hearts are unpredictable, and people's hearts are fickle.

"The general confers the battle axe in the early spring, and receives the merits in the late winter. The soldiers move like gods, and there is no plan..."

"...All the heroes in the world follow, and all the people in the world love him. Such achievements are comparable to Qi Wang Han Xin."

"...the general's power is far greater than Han Xin's, and the prestige of the world is unmatched. As long as you raise your troops, you can win the world..."

After the battle in Quyang, Yan Zhong stood still in front of him and said such words to him.

If you say you are not moved, then it is absolutely false.

At that time, Huangfu Song was indeed influenced by Bei Yanzhong's words, if it wasn't for the entry of the last angel Liang Sheng, perhaps...

There are so many people in this world, how many people can resist the temptation of those eight characters?
"Ordered by heaven, you will live forever!"

This matter has been deeply buried in Huangfu Song's heart.

Sometimes, many things, involuntary.

Huangfusong believed that Sun Jian might not think that way, but it was hard to say what the subordinates under his command thought in their hearts.

"If it wasn't for Yizhen's persuasion, I really don't want to be a Yuzhou shepherd."

Gai Xun let out a long sigh.

"The original intention was to help Wentai, but I didn't expect to harm Wentai now... Sigh..."

Sun Jian's reputation was too high, which caused concern among others in the court.

Although Huangfusong and Gai Xun had been in Chendu Chaotang for a short time, they could tell.

It is true that Sun Jian controlled several states, and almost all the generals of the Han army obeyed Sun Jian. Sun Jian's prestige in the Han army now is even greater than that of Huangfusong when he quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the past.

Gai Xun had been unwilling to compete for the post of Yuzhou Shepherd before, and the reason why he agreed to take the post was also because of Huangfusong's persuasion.

Huangfusong and Sun Jian passed the letter, and Huangfusong got a general understanding of Sun Jian's thoughts by insinuating, so he persuaded Gai Xun to take over as Yuzhou Mu.

When everyone was worried about Sun Jian's disobedience, Sun Jian was also worried about his own situation.

Now his reputation is too high, so that his merits are so high that he is the master.

The birds are exhausted, the good bows are hidden, the cunning rabbits die, and the lackeys cook.

For a long period of time, Sun Jian has been in charge of the defense, and the task of offense has been handed over to other generals, such as Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others, so that they can gain fame and expand the results of the battle.

Although Liu Xieyan said at the beginning that the monarch and his ministers are equal and never listen to slander, gossip is sometimes worse than swords and guns, killing people invisible.

"Yizhen, I wrote a letter a few days ago and put it under my pillow. After I die, you will open it. There are my words of defense for Sun Jian."

Gai Xun walked out of the Nuan Pavilion with Huangfusong's support.

In mid-November, it was still autumn, but the temperature in Chendu was terribly low.

There are not many leaves left on the trees in the courtyard, which looks like a dilapidated scene.

Gai Xun tightened the cloak on his body, the cold wind in the courtyard made him feel a bit chilly, but it also made his altar more clear.

"Heaven and earth are turning back and forth, fire desires..."

"The building will fall, and there will be no tree to support."

Looking at the dilapidated trees in the courtyard, Gai Xun muttered a prophecy from the Taiping Road.

"The building is about to fall, and there is no way to support a single tree. Now that the Han Dynasty can be revived, and it still has such power, Yizhen, you know the reason."

"Now the Han Dynasty can have such a structure, to a large extent, it depends on the support of Sun Jian alone. The building will collapse, and there will be no way to support it. The country needs more help."

Gai Xun grinned and said with a smile.

"Yizhen, do you know why Yuan Shu is willing to live behind Sun Jian?"

Huangfu Song shook his head slightly, he didn't know the inside story.

It's just that the current Yuan Shu is not the Yuan Shu he was familiar with in the past. Now Yuan Shu can't find even a trace of the former son of a family who was so dissolute.

"In the battle of Yangren City, Sun Jian went out to face the Xiliang army. Hu Zhen's entire army was defeated, and the captain of the cavalry, Zhao Cen, was beheaded by Sun Jian himself. Just when Sun Jian was about to take advantage of the situation to march into the two passes and attack Luoyang in the north, the food and grass failed. But the supply is cut off..."

"...Sun Jian drove hundreds of miles at night, and drove all the way, knocked down Yuan Shu's mansion in the middle of the night..."

Gai Xun's eyes flickered, he brewed his emotions, and then slowly said what Sun Jian had said.

"Dong Zhuo and I used to be generals in the same account, so there was no enmity at all. Now I risk my own life, risking arrows and stones, and come to fight to the death of the warriors. On the one hand, I seek thieves for the country, and on the other hand, I want to avenge the murder of the general's family..."

Gai Xun sighed lightly.

"Although Taiping Dao is called an evil way, I agree with what their Taoist master Xu An said."

Huangfusong's expression changed, but he did not stop Gai Xun's words.

"Those who hold salaries for everyone should not let them freeze to death in the wind and snow..."

"Sun Jian used to be a general under your tent, and you are also Sun Jian's former master. You must not let those who are loyal to serve the country be chilled, and make the treacherous villains rampant."

A stern look flashed in Gai Xun's eyes, and his voice was slightly cold.

He stood still, he no longer needed Huangfusong's support anymore.

The former Gai Xun Gai Yuangu who pleaded for the people, was impassioned in the court, and dared to bluntly state the fault of the emperor seems to have completely recovered his former style.

The cold wind was blowing, but it didn't make Gai Xun feel the slightest cold. He stepped forward and walked towards the dead tree in the courtyard that didn't have many leaves left.

"Wei army has just been defeated. Now is the best time for our army to make a northern expedition. If Sun Jian has no choice but to return to Chendu in order to prove his innocence, then our army will miss the opportunity and lose the opportunity to take over Qingzhou."

"Once the opportunity is lost, it will be even more difficult to get it back. Taiping Dao now occupies the land of the four states, and there are tens of millions of people under its command. All the good things will come to naught..."

Gai Xun stopped walking and stroked the bare tree trunk with his hands.

"In a flash, more than eight years have passed..."

"Now Liangzhou is occupied by Taiping Road..."

Gai Xun said helplessly.

"I was born in Liangzhou, but I can't die in Liangzhou, and I can't return my soul to my hometown. It's a great pity."

Huangfusong was silent for a while, Gai Xun could not return to Liangzhou, how could he return to Liangzhou.

"When Liangzhou is recovered, Yizhen must remember to move my grave back to his hometown."

Gai Xun smiled lightly, and his back, which had been straighter before, bent down again.

Gai Xun sat down slowly, sitting in front of the dead tree.

"I really miss the scenery of Dunhuang..."

The look in Gai Xun's eyes slowly dimmed, his eyes slowly returned to cloudy, and his voice was barely heard.

The grass is low and the fog in Jincheng is low, and the wind in Yumen is under the trees.

The scenery of Dunhuang in his memory, old friends and peers at home reappeared in front of his eyes.

The autumn wind blew past slowly, as if he couldn't bear to make Gai Xun feel too cold, but gently brushed over Gai Xun's body, dancing lightly around him.

On the dead tree, the last remaining leaf slowly fell.

The autumn wind moved gently, and the leaves slowly fell towards Gai Xun.

But before it landed on Gai Xun, a hand had already grabbed the withered yellow leaf in mid-air.

Huangfusong held the fallen leaves tightly and said nothing.

Gai Xun sat in front of the tree, motionless, and returned to peace forever.

The old people withered one after another, like leaves falling in the wind.

Their time is over...
