The Demon Soul is Coming

Liu Ba promoted "Invincible Luxiong" to the rank of pawn commander.

Just two months ago, he was still a general who influenced the decision-making of one side, but now he is reduced to the commander of these stragglers, Liu Sang himself is also funny.

It's just that although he doesn't want to express himself, but now he is among these people, and if these people lose, he will also be unlucky.

There were more than 100 enemy soldiers who surrendered. Liu Ba took a knife and questioned them one by one to see if they would join his side, but none of them refused.So after a contact war, the number of "our army" increased instead.

Although this kind of situation seems ridiculous, it is a common occurrence, because many people are originally homeless refugees who don't know what to do. Follow everyone, and if you don't follow anyone, it's a dead word. If you follow the right person, you may have a bright future in the future.

Not to mention this time, even the civil war between the KMT and the Communist Party in Liu Sang's last life, this situation happened from time to time. Many "soldiers" served as ** for a while, and the Communist army for a while. When the situation was good, they followed and killed them. , Joining the opponent, changing clothes, the original "enemy army" suddenly became a comrade-in-arms.It's just that some people can integrate scattered generals into strong soldiers, and some people can force strong soldiers to surrender to the enemy. Therefore, it is the high-level elites who decide the real victory or defeat, while the bottom-level soldiers are actually just soldiers most of the time. Go with the flow.

The same group of people, in the army, behaved vulnerable, changed into military uniforms, became volunteers, and entered North Korea.But he was able to endure hardships and stand hard work, to see death as home, to have a raging soldier, and a raging nest, this is the reason.

That night, they found a place to rest.

Surrounded by bonfires, Liu Sang sat alone in the empty space, looking at the stars in the night sky.

There were a lot of people around, but until now, he didn't really feel what loneliness is.Think back carefully.Flying from beyond the sky.Knocking down his wife and having a home, he seems to have forgotten what loneliness is, even in this month.It feels like everything is back to square one.But at least there is Yuanyuan by his side.

What will the future be like?He found he couldn't figure it out either.

the other side.Liu Ba is doing "ideological work" for those newcomers who joined today, the slogan of Pingtiandao, the most important thing is to kill big households.It should be said that Juntian Fu is quite provocative. Although up to now, a lot of big households have been killed, the days are endless, people's hearts have become impetuous and loose, and there is chaos everywhere, but people always have to live. I always have to do it, if you don't give me a way to survive, I won't give you a way to survive, I'm used to using knives, I'm used to seeing blood, and I don't know how to plant fields anymore.

Perhaps it was because he knew that "Invincible Luxiong" was a smart person, and it was useless to tell him those things. Although Liu Sang joined on the first day, Liu Ba didn't call him to listen with those people.

He lay down and continued to look at the stars. The stars in the summer night were extraordinarily bright. Looking at the flickering stars, he thought of the "Star Realm" and also of Youyou.

Qunxingtu followed Wudai and landed on Yushan, and he couldn't enter the "Star Realm" again.

The dark goddess couldn't see him, she was alone in the star realm, so she must be as lonely as him?

What will worry do?She thought that if he died, she would definitely avenge him, but Youyou is a smart girl, she should not impulsively kill her in front of her, but would lie in hiding and slowly wait for the opportunity.However, the lady and Youyou have always been at odds, and she has become the "Emperor Wa", will she really let you go?

Where are Sister Yue and Zhao Wu?Are they all right?

He sighed heavily.

Steady footsteps came from behind, Liu Ba came to his side, sat down, and said, "Brother Lu, what are you sighing for?"

Liu Sang said: "It's nothing, I'm just a little homesick."

Liu Ba said, "Where is your home?"

Liu Sang said: "Xu Dong."

Liu Ba said: "Xu Dong's situation seems to be fine, why don't you stay at home well, what are you doing outside?"

Liu Sang said perfunctorily: "At first, I just thought that a good man has ambitions everywhere, and wanted to go out and have a look around. How did he know that the situation would become like this? Now I can't do it even if I want to go home."

Liu Ba smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as you follow Boss Zeng and seize the country, everyone will have a good life. When Boss Zeng becomes emperor, you can go back, and if you don't, you can become an official..."

Liu Sang naturally knew that the Boss Zeng he was talking about was the "Huntian Demon King" Zeng Ao. In Hezhou, which was originally Shiqing Shilu, Zeng Ao's appearance undoubtedly gave ordinary people great hope.He sighed: "It's useless."

Liu Ba said, "What's useless?"

Liu Sang said slowly: "Ping Tian Dao... has no future."

Liu Ba froze for a moment, but he didn't get angry, he just looked into the distance helplessly.

Liu Sang said: "Aren't you angry?"

"What's the use of being angry? You're not the only one who thinks this way," Liu Ba sighed. "I still remember that when Boss Zeng first started his army, there were a lot of calls from everywhere. In a short period of time, I don't know how many people came from all directions. Fight side by side with us. Wherever we go, the common people will welcome us there. When those aristocratic and powerful families heard that we were going to attack the city, they were frightened and fled. At that time, I felt that there was nothing we could not do in this world. Well, I remember someone said four words, what is it... Swallow the world with anger, yes, it is to swallow the world with anger, I always feel that it is not impossible to swallow the entire Bazhou, let alone Hezhou."

He smiled wryly and said: "But look now, the people around us are getting more and more complicated. At the beginning, everyone took knives and guns to resist those who oppressed us. After holding knives, guns and sticks for a long time, we found that we You can also use them to bully others. Some ministries are okay, and they still know who they are. Some ministries, when people see them, they are no different from seeing those officers and soldiers. There are even many people who simply take over the mountains and become kings. Boss Zeng I want to give everyone a good life, but no matter how he restrains him, the Dao of Pingtian is getting bigger and bigger, but it is also getting more and more scattered. Look at the present, Princess Ningyun welcomes the eldest prince into Nanyuan. He calls on the princes to join hands to suppress the bandits. We have become one, but we are scattered and chaotic."

Liu Sang thought to himself, there is no way to do this, the Baifeng Kingdom has reached a state of decay that cannot be tolerated from top to bottom, and the Pingtian Dao took advantage of the situation, and naturally responded to everyone at the beginning.But it's easy to break something.Putting broken things back together.It is not an easy task to make it better, not to mention that it is not a "thing" that is broken, but a whole country and the old order.If a force.Can not let people see a better future.So who is willing to support it?

The pattern of Pingtian Dao is already doomed that it cannot bring a new future to Hezhou, and it uses chaos to control violence.Let the common people know that those emperors, generals, and wealthy families are not invincible. Whether they are princes or nobles or the sons of daughters, they are not necessarily thicker, tougher, and more noble than ordinary untouchables.

However, power that is out of control can become tyranny, and people that are out of control can also become thugs.Although there are still a few people who are sticking to their ideals, the majority of them make the common people realize that once they gain power, they are no different from those wealthy and powerful families who have been spurned by them.

Different from those families with hundreds or even hundreds of years of foundation, the peasant army who gained power because of the people, once rejected by the people, will fall faster than everyone imagined, they are rushing towards the old order Torrents, when they have power and power, they think they are different from before, and as a result, more torrents rush in and submerge them.

Liu Ba looked at the sky and sighed: "Sometimes, I really don't know what we are doing, and whether what we are doing is meaningful..."

Liu Sang cut it off: "It makes sense!"

Liu Ba turned his head in astonishment and looked at him.

Liu Sang said: "Regardless of whether Ping Tian Dao wins or loses in the end, its existence is meaningful, because he let everyone see how terrible the people with nowhere to go will be. Next, no matter who is unified Both Hezhou and Zhou have to learn this lesson and treat the people better, and the people have begun to realize that the nobles of aristocratic families are not naturally noble, and they are not irresistible."

He sat up, took a branch, and drew on the ground: "Just like this spiral, history is always progressing in a twist and turn. Because of the example of the Pingtian Dao, those in power in the future must treat people kindly to a certain extent." The people, the next dynasty will be a clearer dynasty than before, but the history is also easily forgotten. As time goes by, the dynasty will corrupt again, and this time, the common people will no longer be like this. Generally speaking, endure for so long, since some people have resisted before, if they can do it, why can’t we do it? So, people will stand up first, without waiting for those in power to force everyone to go nowhere. The chaotic world will reappear again, and then be quelled again, and experience and lessons will be further learned."

Continued: "The river of history, like this spiral, continues, those in power will become more and more aware of the importance of the people, and the people will have more self-awareness and pursue more power until In the end, they will understand that it is not the rich and powerful who donate land and ways of life to everyone, but they give power to the superiors. Once all the people understand this, that power will become extremely powerful. At that time, it is not they who want to please those powerful people, but those powerful people who have to please them."

Liu Ba was stunned when he heard this, and stayed for a long while before murmuring: "It's not the rich and powerful giving land and livelihood to the people, but the people giving power to the superior... Is such a world really possible?"

Liu Sang said slowly: "Although it's not now...but it will come one day."

Liu Ba looked at the spiral on the ground, fell silent for a while, and said, "In other words, what we're doing now...is definitely not meaningless?"

"Well," Liu Sang said, "we are not doing well now because we don't have more historical experience to learn from, but we will eventually become a part of history and tell the latecomers how to do better. Anyway , with the emergence of Pingtian Dao, the common people have begun to wake up, but it is not enough. The existence of Pingtian Dao is like a tutor who teaches Mengtong in a private school. Although due to lack of experience, they cannot bring you more, but at least, their The students... have begun to learn to read."

Hearing this unprecedented theory, Liu Ba let out a long breath: "You say that... I'm relieved."

***

No matter how beautiful the distant future is depicted.At this moment, Liu Sang is just a small person who can't even protect himself.

Originally, he just wanted to leave in a safe place and go to Yuewu Mountain, but Liu Sang began to realize that he couldn't leave at all. The whole situation was too chaotic. He lost the magic pill, in this situation.Even surviving is a problem.

Liu Ba is on Tianping Road.He seems to be quite well-known, but his headquarters was scattered in the previous battle, so he had to go out to recruit again.And this is also one of the natural defects of the peasant army, basically every "general".From the very beginning, he led his own villagers to revolt.Then hit more and more.These soldiers belong to him, and only to him, and no one else can transfer them.And when his people are gone, he can't get supplements from other people, so he can only recruit by himself.

In this situation, when the situation is favorable, everyone is good and rushes forward like a flood. When the situation is bad, everyone wants to avoid dangerous and fierce battles in order to preserve their own strength, but the result is that they fight on their own, and the fighting becomes more and more chaotic.

In the last life, Liu Sang only finished junior high school, and was hit by a car on the first day of high school. Maybe it was because of the influence of the history class he took in the previous life, or maybe it was because in this life, he was originally A child from a peasant family, he supports and sympathizes with these peasant troops in his bones.

In the history class he taught, any peasant uprising has natural justice, is anti-oppression, and is an "uprising". Liu Sang also agrees with this principle. Then why can't you stand up and resist?

But it is undeniable that due to their own limitations, basically all peasant uprisings ended up making wedding clothes for others. The so-called "change of dynasty", they took the first step of "change of dynasty", but they could not complete the "reign change". replacement” process.

At this time, he followed the troops and was stationed in Liaocheng.

Liaocheng was originally a county town, but when it was captured by Pingtian Dao, the city gate was smashed, and the city walls were also damaged a lot. The city had obviously experienced brutal street fighting, and it was in a mess everywhere.

The various ministries in the city each set up a territory. The recruits recruited by Liu Ba and the veterans who survived were only about one or two thousand in total, which was insufficient in strength. However, there were still many Qubu like him in the city. Even if there are only one or two hundred people, they are self-contained, occupying a territory, and they cannot coordinate with each other. The only difference is that those with more people speak louder, while those with few people are quiet. Quietly curled up in the corner, not daring to make a sound.

Liu Sang shook her head... What is a dish of loose sand?

This is called a plate of loose sand.

***

Liu Sang followed Liu Ba on the dilapidated streets.

Ever since Liu Sang saw through the enemy's ambush at a glance and said that great truth, Liu Ba already knew that this young man was not simple.

Liu Ba knew that for Ping Tiandao, military advisors were the most lacking. In Hezhou, children from ordinary families had no chance to study at all, and those who had the opportunity to touch books were from aristocratic families.Unlike Yangzhou and Zhongyanzhou, there is at least one imperial examination, which gives children from poor families a chance to make progress. In Hezhou, where birth and blood are extremely important, children from poor families no matter how much they read and how much knowledge they have , Don’t even think about having a chance to get ahead, and because of this, few children from poor families have been exposed to books, and there are so many generals in Pingtian Dao, and few are literate.

And because of Pingtian Dao's clear position from the beginning, every time a place is captured, the big family must be killed first, so it is impossible to absorb educated children from aristocratic families to enter Pingtian Dao. But he looks down on the children of the family, although most of the children of the family are indeed dandies, but it is undeniable that due to the education they have received since childhood, there are many young people with vision among them, but these people are absolutely He refused to be used by Ping Tian Dao.

This also led to the generals in Pingtian Dao, who are often more than brave, but the strategy and tactics themselves are a mess.

Those born in poverty and rich in knowledge are not completely absent in Hezhou.

It's just that these people are basically the Mobian of the Mo Sect, and Ping Tiandao's indiscriminate massacre of the wealthy and powerful families is also rejected by the Mo Sect who pursues "non-aggression".The Mohists do have a tradition of helping others defend the city. The so-called "stick to the rules" originally talked about the Momen's art of defending the city.However, Pingtian Dao attacked the city from all directions, captured one place, killed all the big households, opened warehouses to release grain, and then began to attack the next place. With Pingtian Dao's approach, the Mo Sect did not help the enemy defend the city in turn. It's great for them.

What's more, the upper level of Pingtian Dao has begun to show a large number of signs of corruption. Because Pingtian Dao itself has no foundation, although it occupies a large area, it adopts the method of rogues, and those wealthy families have joined forces to help each other. Unable to continue to siege cities and rob food on a large scale like at the beginning, the weakness of their own insufficient supplies began to be exposed. Many parts secretly not only robbed big households, but also robbed the food of ordinary people. In this case, It is even more impossible for Momen's elites to help Ping Tiandao.

Liu Ba suspected that "Lu Xiong" was a Mohist.

Just because this boy looks so much alike.

This young man has read books and is knowledgeable, but he is different from the children of the family. He will be touched and sentimental by the bleak scenes everywhere. It is meaningless, and at the same time, I believe that with the passage of history, they will eventually have a better future.

He has read books and is not from a wealthy family. He can see through the enemy's ambushes and has far-reaching ideals.

Apart from Mo Bian in Momen, Liu Ba couldn't think of any other possibility.
