People in the Three Kingdoms: Starting from Preaching

Chapter 13 Traveled through time in vain?

"Master, there are the Xianbei and Wuhuan in the north of Youzhou, and Liaodong and Liaoxi are both bitter and cold. This is not a good choice no matter how you look at it. Is it really appropriate for us to come here?"

On the forest path in Youzhou, Wang Dang was riding a warhorse captured from the Han army and talking to Xu Chen, but his tone was obviously worried when he spoke.

In his opinion, Youzhou, the place chosen by Xu Chen, was not a good place at all. It was a typical place with few people, poor land and many problems.

"As long as it's not Jizhou, any place is fine."

When Xu Chen heard this, the name Huangfu Song came to his mind and he shook his head repeatedly.

Now Jizhou is Huangfu Song's territory. This killer is not someone you can afford to offend. It is better to run away early and have fewer worries. If you stay in Jizhou, you will fall into Huangfu Song's hands sooner or later.

Apart from Jizhou, Youzhou may not be the best place, but it is definitely the most suitable place.

Once you leave Jizhou, no matter where you go except Youzhou, you will be the center of the vortex of heroes from all sides. As a Yellow Turban rebel mixed in with them, it is really a bit conspicuous. It is a presence that everyone wants to kick out. This is not a good thing.

Youzhou is a bit poor, and there are the Xianbei and Wuhuan causing trouble, but at least the pressure it faces is not as great as that in the heartland of the Central Plains, so it is still possible to find a good place to survive.

Xu Chen was too lazy to explain so much to Wang Dang, and simply said: "Youzhou is the revelation given to me by the God of Nature. It won't be wrong to follow his guidance."

Wang Dang was speechless for a moment. It wasn’t that he couldn’t refute it, but that he really believed it.

Previously, when Xu Chen preached the doctrine in the wasteland outside the forest, all the believers believed in the so-called natural way, and even Wang Dang was no exception.

This was certainly due to the fact that Xu Chen's revelations had come true several times before, but what completely convinced Wang Dang was Xu Chen's inspiring doctrinal ideas.

In comparison, the phrase "The blue sky is dead and the yellow sky should be established" is too empty, and the doctrine preached by Xu Chen is more exciting, and there is a strong urge that makes people willing to follow it.

Originally, Wang Dang wanted to ask why Taiping Dao suddenly became Ziran Dao, but then he fell silent when the words came to his lips.

He thought there was nothing to ask, and the natural way sounded good, so he just went ahead.
His address to Xu Chen also smoothly transitioned to "Leader".

In order to avoid being chased by Huangfu Song, Xu Chen and his companions were very careful to hide their tracks along the way, and only relaxed after they entered the territory of Youzhou.

But not long after they set off, a Yellow Turban soldier in front came to report the news: "Reporting to the leader and general, we found a village in the valley ahead, it seems that there are dozens of households."

Wang Dang smiled when he heard this: "Great! The rations seized from the Han army are almost gone, so we can use some to replenish them. Take a few hundred brothers with you to get some food!"

"What do you want to do?" Xu Chen's expression suddenly changed when he heard it.

Is it necessary for hundreds of people to go begging? As soon as he heard Wang Dang's words, he understood the real meaning. It was obvious that he wanted to rob the people.

Hearing Xu Chen's question, Wang Dang was stunned: "Is there anything wrong? We don't have much food left. Although this village is a little small, even if there is one more mouth to eat, it is a good thing, right?"

Subtle changes have begun to occur in the status of Wang Dang and Xu Chen in the Yellow Turbans.

After all, the Yellow Turbans are a religious group. Once Xu Chen's identity as the leader is recognized, he will naturally become the leader.

Therefore, Wang Dang would definitely take Xu Chen’s words seriously.

But after hearing this, Xu Chen fell silent for a while. He suddenly felt a little creepy.

In the eyes of these people, robbing ordinary people when they have no food to eat seems to have become a matter of course. They don’t even think about whether the ordinary people can survive after the robbery.

Some people say that tens of millions of people died in China during the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period. Xu Chen used to think of this as just a cold number, but now he suddenly understood the heaviness behind this number. If they robbed the village in front today, there is no doubt that everyone in the village would face starvation in a few days, and they would most likely become part of the tens of millions of victims quietly.

Of course, there is another possibility, which is that he could not survive and was held hostage by the Yellow Turbans, and then died as a rebel under the swords of the soldiers...

This era is not a glamorous heroic epic, but a miserable world of the lower-class people.

The Yellow Turbans were actually not a good bunch. These Yellow Turbans, who rose up from the bottom of society, actually had no sympathy or mercy for people from the same bottom of society.

Although Zhang Jue knew how to treat the lower classes well and called on the Yellow Turbans to implement the "Ganlu Method" to cure diseases for the lower-class people, the Yellow Turban group was so large that he had no ability to restrain the behavior of most people.

In essence, the Yellow Turbans were just a large group of vagrants and bandits, and military discipline was almost non-existent.

Of course, the Yellow Turbans were like this, and the imperial court and the heroes were not much better. Most of the well-known figures of the time would hardly escape being counted for the stain of plundering the people, as long as one was willing to look for them.

After all, no one treats the people at the bottom of society as human beings.

In the eyes of the aristocratic families, the lower-class people are just farm tools and property.

In the eyes of the Yellow Turban refugees, the lower-class people were the only ones they could bully.

"From today on, no one in the Yellow Turbans will rob the people."

Xu Chen's voice was so loud that it sounded a bit like shouting, which attracted the attention of many Yellow Turbans who were marching.

Wang Dang was stunned at first, and then felt a little embarrassed and awkward. He didn't know why Xu Chen reacted like that, so he could only explain in a low voice.

"But if we don't rob, where will we get food to survive?"

When Xu Chen heard this, he almost couldn't help but curse.

If I travel through time and space and then rob the common people, then wouldn’t my travel through time be in vain?
This has nothing to do with any kind of virginity, it's just a bottom line issue. If you come from the future and have to compromise with the times and be assimilated by the times, then time travel itself is meaningless.

I am here to change the world, not to be changed by the world!

"Nature God says that all men are born equal, regardless of status. Everyone has basic rights granted by God, which are sacred and inviolable!"

Xu Chen pulled the reins in his hand, and when the horses stopped, he looked at the marching Yellow Turbans with a stern face, and then spoke the doctrines of the Natural Way word by word.

This left the Yellow Turbans confused, but out of respect for their leader, they all stopped spontaneously and prepared to listen to the leader's teachings.

Although Wang Dang felt puzzled, he could only listen obediently.

After the situation calmed down a bit, Xu Chen continued to speak.

“The meaning of our religion is to pursue equality and basic rights, not only for ourselves but also for others.

If you rob the people, you are violating their rights. If you cannot even abide by the teachings, how can you expect the gods to bless you and how can you promote the great cause of our religion?"

A breeze blew by, and the scene became completely silent. The faces of many Yellow Turbans were mostly sullen.
