People in the Three Kingdoms: Starting from Preaching

Chapter 196 Good old man

"I have always killed only guilty people, and you are known for your kindness and righteousness, and you care about the common people. You are a rare good man in the Han Dynasty. You can live a good life under my rule, and you can even be my secretary in the future. Why do you want to end your life? This is really not a wise move."

As soon as Xu Chen saw the depressed look on Liu Yu's face, he knew that he was determined to die, so he tried to persuade him.

It has to be said that during the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, there were not many people that Xu Chen could look up to. People like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were all ambitious people obsessed with selfish desires. Liu Bei was known for his benevolence and righteousness, but if we talk about good people, Liu Yu was more like a real good guy.

Xu Chen couldn't bear to see such a good man die. If possible, staying and doing something for the Yellow Turbans would be a suitable choice.

"If you don't want to be among the Yellow Turbans, then you don't have to do so. Stay in Youzhou and live a good life. We Yellow Turbans will never force you to submit to any task, but you can still do something for the people yourself. Isn't that good? Confucian scholars are dedicated to helping the people. Don't you want to do that?"

In the quiet city, there was only Xu Chen's steady and clear voice.

When Liu Yu heard this, his expression was slightly moved, but then he continued to be depressed and was not moved by such words.

Compared to these words, he was more concerned about Xu Chen, the rebel leader himself. This was the first time he saw Xu Chen's face so clearly at such a close distance. After taking a look at him, his mood became even more complicated.

The guy who has accomplished such a great feat is actually such a young man in his prime!
Although he knew it a long time ago, he was still amazed when he actually saw it.

Liu Yu was a little jealous and even a little scared. Youth is the greatest asset. Such a scary guy is only in his twenties now, and no one knows how much time he will have in the future.

But the Han Dynasty is now in its twilight years, how can it resist such a young and powerful enemy.

He seemed to see that in Youzhou, a young sun was slowly rising, and the light it brought would slowly cover the entire earth.

"You are really a very strange guy. Looking through the history books, there is no other guy like you. Do you really think that what you want to do can succeed?"

Liu Yu had a complicated expression. The person in front of him was clearly a Han traitor, and he should have reprimanded him sternly.

But when he saw Xu Chen's clean and pure eyes, he felt that he couldn't curse him.

What are you scolding? Are you scolding the other party for distributing land to the people? Are you scolding the other party for settling accounts with the crimes of the powerful? Or are you scolding the other party for leading the common people to resist the powerful?

Even from the most basic moral point of view, he couldn't say that Xu Chen was wrong. After studying the "Natural Sutra" for who knows how long, he found that the most terrifying thing was not the words in the scripture, but that the Yellow Turbans were really practicing it.

Xu Chen laughed: "Of course I can succeed. If you don't believe me, you can just live and wait and see. The advanced will definitely replace the backward. Even if I may fail, human society will always continue to rise and will reach this point one day. My existence will only accelerate this process."

Liu Yu shook his head: "Maybe. No matter what, you treat the common people better than I do. At least for the common people of Youzhou, your coming is a good thing."

Xu Chen smiled faintly: "Not only Youzhou, but also the thirteen states of the world, even the land outside the domain, and even the unknown continent outside the vast ocean. My arrival is a blessing for them. You don't understand how big a step I've taken."

Liu Yu was speechless for a moment. Such arrogant words sounded ridiculous.

But seeing Xu Chen's extremely calm expression, he felt that the other party did not seem to be bragging, but was just stating a fact, as if this guy really thought so from the bottom of his heart.

Does this guy really think he is the sun for all the people in the world?
If Xu Chen knew what Liu Yu was thinking, he would definitely answer that he did bring the sun to the people of the world, but this sun was not a specific person, but an idea. Liu Yu was really a little curious and wanted to see what Xu Chen could do, but this curiosity was soon overwhelmed by the despair in his heart.

If Xu Chen really succeeded one day, he would definitely be stepping on the body of a big man. Thinking of this, he suddenly didn't want to look anymore.

No matter what, he is a relative of the Han Dynasty after all, and his blood is from the Liu family.

Liu Yu looked at Xu Chen in silence for a while. If he had asked himself before whether the Yellow Turbans could succeed, he felt that it would definitely not work.

But now the Yellow Turbans have occupied Youzhou, and even the Wuhuan have been completely pacified. The Xianbei are no longer a threat, and Goguryeo and Buyeo in the rear are even controlled by the Yellow Turbans. It seems that the Yellow Turbans are really terrifying.

With the current strength of the Yellow Turbans, although they cannot sweep the world, they at least have the capital to dominate the Central Plains. When the leader Xu Chen says a word, all the princes of the world, whether they like it or not, have to listen carefully.

"If one day you really succeed, how will you treat people with the surname Liu?"

Liu Yu could not help but ask out loud. Just as scholars valued their aristocratic families, the fate of the Liu family, as the largest aristocratic family in the world, was of course what Liu Yu was most concerned about.

Although asking such a question was very unambitious and unconfident, Liu Yu still wanted to listen to it.

The more we understand the Yellow Turbans, the more unsure we feel about them. If the Yellow Turbans really succeed, it is not absolutely impossible.

Looking at the strength of the Yellow Turbans now, it is reasonable to make this assumption.

Xu Chen laughed: "The Liu family is essentially a noble family. Why do you think I will treat the Liu family differently? It's nothing more than punishing the guilty and returning the innocent to the common people like other noble families."

Hearing this answer, Liu Yu felt a little disappointed, but also relieved.

The disappointment is that if Xu Chen really succeeds, he doesn't seem to intend to favor the royal family of the previous dynasty. However, this is just Liu Yu's extravagant hope. It would be good enough if someone else didn't clean it up.

As for why they breathed a sigh of relief, it was of course because of this. At least the Liu family's bloodline could be continued.

This can give me peace of mind. What the world will be like in the future, let the heroes of the world decide for themselves. I, Liu Yu, can't care less.

Liu Yu drew out his sword and pointed it at his neck without hesitation. As his body trembled and blood spurted, his body soon went limp and he fell from the city wall.

Seeing this, Xu Chen couldn't help but sigh: "Collect his body, there is no need to make special arrangements, just bury him in the usual way."

One of the few good guys in the Han Dynasty passed away, which was worth Xu Chen's sigh.

But soon Xu Chen led his horse towards the city. Five years of hard work finally paid off, and the Yellow Turbans finally gained control of the entire Youzhou land.

From now on, I will look north and south, waiting for the right opportunity to conquer the world!
