People in the Three Kingdoms: Starting from Preaching

Chapter 594 Rebellion
After nearly a month of marching, the Yellow Turban Army finally returned to the capital. With an order from Xu Chen, hundreds of thousands of soldiers disarmed and returned to their homes. Considering the current situation in the world, many of them might not be recalled again in their lifetime.

When the war is over, it is time for most soldiers to put down their swords and pick up hoes, so that they can live their lives in peace.

Xu Chen's return to Beijing naturally caused celebration throughout the city. Even though the people had heard the good news a long time ago, they still maintained enough enthusiasm at this time.

The Xuanxia court represents the millions of people of Xuanxia. Xuanxia’s victory is also the common victory of countless people. This country does not belong to one family or one surname, but is a common country of thousands of households.

Xu Chen, who led more than 10,000 troops into the city, couldn't help but smile sincerely as he looked at the cheers of the crowds on both sides of the street.

Being able to get to this point today was something that Xu Chen himself had never expected at the beginning. This made Xu Chen have to sigh at the power of the Dragon Slaying Technique. Even if he just copied it, he could still build such a career.

This dragon-slaying technique was passed on to the world, which pointed out the direction and method for himself in this era. Xu Chen was also thinking at this time that he would also make this dragon-slaying technique public in the future, so that the goal of everyone being like a dragon could be realized in a true sense.

There is a saying that goes, if everyone has a gun, there will not be chaos.

Although my career is successful now, I will need to have a knife pointed at me in the future.

At some point, Wang Dang rode his horse and caught up. Feeling the people's heartfelt cheers and rejoicing, he felt a little elated.

Faced with such pure love and admiration from the people, no one can help but be happy.

"It's different, it's really different. No matter how many times I see people like this, I always feel it's different." Wang Dang couldn't stop laughing. While waving to the people on both sides, he started chatting with Xu Chen.

Xu Chen was also smiling and waving at the people, and responded without delay: "What's the difference?"

Wang Dang said: "Of course it is different from the time of the Great Sage Master. Although there were Yellow Turbans before and after, I have never seen such a scene at that time. Even if the people were in awe of the Great Sage Master, it was more fear than respect."

Xu Chen smiled faintly and said, "Of course this is different, but no matter what, the Great Sage Master is our forerunner. Without him walking in front, you and I, the latecomers, would not be where we are today."

At this time, Wang Dang turned his head and looked at Xu Chen, and laughed happily.

Apart from Xu Chen's leadership position, what impressed Wang Dang most about Xu Chen was his open-minded demeanor. Even today, Xu Chen would not deny the achievements of the great sage Zhang Jue.

If one were to be in Xu Chen's current position with a narrow mind, he would definitely feel that the Great Sage Teacher before him was an eyesore, and that Zhang Jue's existence would more or less overshadow his own brilliance.

Even if Xu Chen directly cut ties with Zhang Jue and the previous Yellow Turbans, it would not be an exaggeration.

In fact, Xuan Xia's current situation has nothing to do with Zhang Jiao. It was all thanks to Xu Chen who pulled a fast yellow scarf and walked step by step to where he is today. Even if they were really separated, no one would say anything.

But Xu Chen still affirmed Zhang Jiao's status, and even the current almanac uses the year of the Yellow Turban Rebellion as the first year.

It has to be said that doing so really made Wang and the other old Yellow Turbans feel very comfortable.

The leader is not a ungrateful guy, and they are willing to go through fire and water for him.

"To be honest, it's a good thing that the world is stable now, but I feel empty inside. I have fought wars all my life, and suddenly there are no more wars to fight. I don't know what I can do in the future." As he walked, Wang Dang smiled and shook his head, but he let out a happy sigh.

Xu Chen looked over and said meaningfully: "Who said that we should put down our weapons in the future?" Wang Dang was stunned: "Well, is there any war that has not been fought yet?"

Xu Chen turned his head and continued to ride forward slowly: "The knife is not only used to point at the enemy, but also at yourself. Remember what I told you, the struggle has just begun."

Hearing this, Wang Dang's eyes narrowed immediately. Of course he understood what Xu Chen meant.

To Wang Dang, victory in the war seemed to be the perfect ending of the story. If the cause of natural religion was successful, all conflicts in the world would be gone and everyone could live a happy life without shame or anxiety.

But Xu Chen's frequent cold water on him always shattered his simple ideas.

In particular, many things that happened along the way confirmed the cold water poured by Xu Chen, which forced him to abandon his previous simple thinking and return to reality.

"Damn it! I killed Xuan Xia with my sword and knife. Anyone who dares to be Xuan Xia's parasite will be cut into pieces by me!" Wang Dang snorted coldly. There was no specific person in his words, but the anger was obviously not out of thin air.

Seeing this, Xu Chen smiled and nodded: "Look, he picked up the knife again."

Wang Dang remained silent for a while, but then he sighed.

"I still don't understand. We put so much effort into driving away those people who are riding on our heads, but when we look back, we find that our own people are climbing over the heads of the people. What the hell is going on? Can't these bastards be human beings?"

As he said this, Wang Dang's face showed visibly helplessness and fatigue. The corruption within the team often made him doubt his own beliefs, which was more painful than asking him to fight in the battlefield for ten days and ten nights.

Why when one has a little power, one cannot help but exploit the people; why when one sits in a high position, one cannot help but amass wealth?

Can't you just hold back that desire?

Wang Dang could never figure this out.

He was angry that these guys destroyed the ideal country he wanted to create. What was even more desperate was that such guys could not be killed or banned, and Wang Dang had no way to deal with it.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chen could only sigh. This question had no solution and he had no way of answering it.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Where there are rivers and lakes, there are disputes. Where there are disputes, there are good and evil. These opposing contradictions can never be eliminated.

"Old Wang, there is no answer that can solve all problems once and for all. We are just on the road." After leaving this sentence, Xu Chen quickened his pace and moved forward.

Of course, he did not say the rest to Wang Dang, but talked to himself.

"That's why I want to pass on the art of slaying dragons to the world. I must recognize Zhang Jue's achievements. And not just Zhang Jue, but also Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and every guy who dared to resist. They all deserve recognition."

"We Chinese have to have a rebellious bone in our brains."
