Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1345 Opinion (add more)

October.

  Although the sun is trying to reproduce the magnificence of summer, it is already out of its ability. Even if it is stretching its body, the temperature will drop unstoppably.

Liao Hua leaned on a wooden stick and walked among the squirming crowd. Surrounded by refugees from the Jingyu area, there were those from Runan and those from Jingbei. People moved forward subconsciously like a machine, dumb, dazed, and fearful. Anxiety and anxiety are mixed together, mixed with men's roars, women's screams, and children's intermittent cries, lingering in my ears, intertwined with exhaustion, and hunger, like blunt needles, piercing Liaohua His head was buzzing and he felt a dull pain.

  Liao Hua's current appearance is not much different from these refugees.

Originally, Jingxiang and Yuzhou have always been considered lands of fish and rice. There are big lakes, mountains, farmland, and mulberry forests. They can be fished, herded, plowed, and weaved. Anyone who is not born lazy can live here. Go on, but since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, everything has changed.

  The Yellow Turban Rebellion, ha ha.

   "The world is in chaos, the city is a ruin, the mother can't protect the child, the wife loses her husband, and the emperor can live in peace."

   Thinking of this, Liao Hua wanted to laugh.

  Huangfu Song killed Zhang Liang, killed 30,000 Yellow Turbans on the battlefield, threw 50,000 Yellow Turbans into the river, defeated Zhang Bao again, and killed nearly 100,000 prisoners...

  Among these numbers, are all of them real Yellow Turbans?

  If they weren't all yellow scarves, why did Huangfusong kill them with peace of mind, and even sing songs?

  Liao Hua was brought into the yellow scarf when he was young, so he knew that the yellow scarf was actually more of a refugee, and more than half of them were old and weak, ordinary people who were wrapped up in the war zone.

  Do these people deserve to die? Isn't it ridiculous that the people of the Han Dynasty did not die at the hands of the rioting Yellow Turbans, but at the hands of the army of the government and the court?

  Suddenly there was a commotion among the crowd, and some noisy voices came: "There are checkpoints ahead! There are checkpoints ahead! We must arrest the peasants! Capture the peasants!"

   With a "coax", the wandering crowd became even more chaotic.

The gong of "Dangdangdangdang" sounded, and the soldiers at the checkpoint shouted: "General Pingdong recruits troops! General Pingdong recruits troops! If you are willing to work hard, you will get to eat! If you have to eat, you will eat! Cake! Huge piece of steamed cake! If you work hard, you can eat it!"

"Bang bang! Steamed cakes! If you work hard, you will get to eat! Folks! Governor Guo was defeated, and now General Pingdong is in charge! You have left your hometown, where can you escape? It's not the same anywhere? You may not have a hometown. Good! General Pingdong is kind, recruiting soldiers, as long as they are willing to sacrifice their lives, they will have food, and if they kill the enemy and take the head, there will be rewards..."

"Come! Come! Great steamed cakes! Made of high-quality wheat noodles! See, they are all yellow! They are yellow, not black! Look clearly! They are delicious! One for everyone who signs up to join the army what!"

  The crowd stopped.

  The temptation of steamed cakes is magnified to the extreme under hunger.

   After hesitating for a moment, some people walked towards the checkpoint, and some families wanted to go, but they were held back by their wives and elderly people, and they quarreled and hugged each other and cried...

  Joining the army is to sacrifice your life for others, and the price of your life is a piece of steamed cake.

  Of course, although it’s hard to say whether you will be able to eat enough after entering, but it’s not a surprise that people will die when they are in a war. People are desperate, sell themselves in, and when they go to the battlefield, they will find an opportunity to run away.

  And most people are still watching carefully. Generally speaking, refugees will cause mutiny and instability of law and order, but this is not necessarily the case. Most of these people are farmers and village households who have lived their lives peacefully. From childhood to adulthood, they have never been out of the one-acre three-point land near the village and county. After fleeing their hometown to avoid the military disaster, most of them were afraid and terrified. People are afraid of strange places, and they are also afraid of a strange future. In fact, not many people know what the future will be like.

  One night, the soldiers who came to arrest the civilian husband charged the crowd, and Liao Hua escaped unharmed in a dark corner. These wolf-like soldiers killed hundreds of civilians and captured many young men. They plundered property, killed those who saw them, and raped the women among the refugees, and then escorted the captured young men away. …

  The broken crowd slowly gathered together again after dawn, and continued to move forward in a daze.

   As for when it will be the end, most people don't have an answer in their hearts.

   There are old people who have seen the world a little bit, and they will only say the same sentence over and over again: "When we arrive in the north, the imperial court will arrange for me to wait...Yes...Yes, yes..."

  Liao Hua looked coldly at the busy checkpoint, shook his head, and moved on. Perhaps it was because Heluo was approaching, and he was more or less concerned about his face. Perhaps General Pingdong wanted to save his reputation, or he did not want the recruited soldiers to have too many rebellious emotions. Anyway, no matter what the reason was, this time, Cao Cao The soldiers did not come up to arrest people, but adopted the method of temptation, which was somewhat gentler.

   Such an approach is naturally considered good.

  Some people stayed, but most people still moved forward. After all, General Pingdong only recruited young and strong, not all cats and dogs.

   In front of Liao Hua on the left, there is a young mother holding her child, walking staggeringly, looking at everything around her vigilantly and apprehensively. The mother's complexion was sallow, her hair was disheveled, and she held the child tightly to her chest. The child also seemed to be very quiet, completely different from the other children around who were constantly crying and begging for food.

  Liao Hua sighed slightly.

   That kid is dead...

   Dead for two days.

  The reason why the mother hugged her tightly was not only because she couldn’t accept it emotionally, but also because the dead children were boiled and eaten along the way.

   And some young people. Maybe it wasn't completely dead, but the hungry people couldn't wait any longer, and even cut off the thigh meat alive and threw it into the pot.

  The old man who died was lucky enough to leave a whole body, because no one would eat it, not only had no meat, but was shriveled. The old man lying on the side of the road was breathless, and most of the relatives kneeling beside the corpse looked desperate and dazed, then stood up staggeringly and followed the flow of people without even shedding a drop of tears.

  Man, at this moment, is not much different from a beast.

Under such circumstances, all the principles of heaven and earth have lost their effectiveness, and there is no hope for the future. The only thing left is the road in front of me, accompanied by the sound of hunger in my stomach, as well as fear and death. .

  The chaotic team stretched on and on, with no end in sight, and no end in sight. Compared with the land of the Han Dynasty in previous years, it seemed like two worlds. Liao Hua sometimes raised his head in the team, thinking about the past few years, everything he saw, sometimes when he looked at the fleeing people, he seemed to feel that there was no special change, it was still the same The world is the same people.

  North, I heard that there is no war in the north? I heard that there is a new Tianzheng in the north? I heard that under the rule of General Zhengxi, there are five stones per mu? It is said that…

   Maybe where will be a new world?

  Liao Hua didn't know, but he wanted to take a look...

  ………………

   Luoyang City.

  In late autumn, the cold wind is like a knife, and all the yellow leaves on the tree are cut off, making it desolate.

  Wei Xu hesitated, standing outside Lu Bu's government office, not knowing whether he should go in or turn around and leave.

The Yang family seems to have intensified their attack on Luoyang after the autumn, and continued to expand and consolidate the occupied area. However, most of the officials in Luoyang city had followed Liu Xie, and the surrounding counties and towns were in Lubu and Luoyang. Between Yang Biao, they naturally believed in Yang Biao more, so it became more and more difficult to deal with Yang Biao's offensive during this period of time.

After Yang Biao captured Gucheng, perhaps because the weather was approaching winter, it was inconvenient to continue marching, or the food and grass supplies could not keep up. Anyway, he postponed his march to the east, and Lu Bu was unable to counterattack here, so he once again There was a stalemate.

   And almost anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lu Bu is already at the end of his battle.

Although when Yang Biao's army was consolidating the defenses of Gucheng, Lu Bu also led his team to have several confrontations with Yang Biao's army in the field, and won without exception, but Lu Bu was still orderly in the face of retreat. Yang's army didn't dare to pursue deeply, and in terms of defense, Lu Bu's army exposed more and more loopholes. In the end, they could only defend with Luoyang as the center, losing most of their strategic depth. .

  Wei Xu had a feeling that Yang Biao was not unable to attack Luoyang, but just didn't want to lose too much, so he stood still and waited for the opportunity.

At the very beginning, Lu Bu patrolled the surrounding area every day, inspected the city defenses, and even led a small group of troops to strangle Yang Biao's scouts. However, as time went by, Lu Bu gradually reduced the frequency of inspections. Once, three days, five days, and now, ten days have passed, and Wei Xu has not seen Lu Bu climbing the city wall.

  Wei Xu had an idea. He had discussed it with Gao Shun, but Gao Shun was just a rock, smelly and hard, stuffy and unable to fart.

  Song Xian, Hou Cheng?

  These two boys were originally sent by Wang Yun at that time. Although Wang Yun has passed away and the two have lost their footing, they are not trustworthy characters.

  Looking for Chen Gong?

  Wei Xu did not believe in Chen Gong either, and Wei Xu knew that Lu Bu also did not believe in Chen Gong, at least since that night.

   "General Wei..." The guard in front of Lu Bu's mansion, watching Wei Xu circling back and forth, couldn't bear it anymore, and asked, "Do you want to enter, or not?"

   "..." Wei Xu stomped his feet, "Come in! Annoy me."

  But when Wei Xu really saw Lu Bu, Wei Xu regretted it a bit. Wei Xu didn't expect that the decadent man in front of him was Wen Hou, who was once high-spirited. He smelled of alcohol, with sunken eyes, disheveled hair, and wrinkled clothes. He was just like a beggar?

   A beggar can't afford wine, but Lu Bu can still afford it?

   "This... Junhou, how can Junhou look like this!?" Wei Xu stepped forward and bowed down in front of Lu Bu, "Your Majesty, I can't drink any more..."

   Lu Bu frowned slightly, as if he disliked the light brought by Wei Xu, and turned his head away. "What's the matter? Yang's son is attacking?"

   "Uh...not yet..." Wei Xu was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously replied.

   "Since there is no attack..." Lu Bu waved his hand, "Then sit down and have a drink..."

"This…"

   Before Wei Xu could turn his head around, a wine bowl was stuffed in his hand, and then Lu Bu lightly hooked a huge wine jar with one hand, and accurately poured eight percent of the wine into the bowl.

   "Come! Drink!"

   Lu Bu poured himself a bowl, and with a grunt, it was done.

  Wei Xu looked down at the wine bowl, was silent for a while, then picked it up, and finished drinking. Perhaps it was the stimulation of the spicy drink, or perhaps the current situation was indeed imminent. Wei Xu finished drinking, put the wine bowl down, and mustered up his courage to say: "Your Majesty...Do you want to die because of this?"

  Lu Bu's pouring hand paused for a moment, and then he threw the wine bowl at Wei Xu, shouting, "How dare you! How dare you speak nonsense! It's not good to bully a certain knife?"

  The wine bowl hit Wei Xu's head with a "bang", smashing his forehead, and the wine mixed with blood rolled down.

   Lu Buteng stood up suddenly, furious, like a lion, ready to eat.

Wei Xu didn't care about the test, bowed his head and kowtowed: "If you offend the lord, your subordinates will die! If the lord wants to die, someone should chase after him! Death doesn't come soon! But...but what will happen to the lord's family! "

The muscles on Lu Bu's face were twitching, and he stared at Wei Xu. After a while, he sat down slowly again, exhaled, and greeted outside: "Get some water! Wipe General Wei's face... also Get a pot for someone, it needs to be warmer..."

  The attendants quickly brought the water. Wei Xu thanked Lu Bu, and then wiped the wine stains and blood on his face. The wound was actually not big, it was just a broken skin, and it stopped quickly. For Wei Xu, who has been licking blood with a knife for a long time, it is nothing at all. .

Lu Bu covered his face with the steaming face towel, let the white smoke rise, and rubbed it hard a few times after the heat dissipated, until his skin was a little red, then threw the face towel casually, signaling for the attendants to retreat After playing, he said to Wei Xu: "Speak up, tell me what you think, listen..."

   "Luoyang is already an isolated city here..." Wei Xu bowed his head and said, "Now that I'm waiting to enter the hub, it's not the fault of the prince, it's all the fault of Chen Gongtai! The prince..."

   "Stop!" Lu Bu suddenly shouted in a deep voice, "Who the **** taught you that?"

   Wei Xu got stuck and raised his head to look at Lu Bu.

   "You can't read half of the big characters, and you still learn from others?" Lu Bu said dissatisfiedly, "I ask who taught you to say that?"

   "...Yes, it's Zhou Zifeng..." Wei Xu lowered his head and said in a low voice.

  "Zhou Zifeng?" Lu Bu frowned, muttering, "Call Zhou Zifeng to come...I didn't tell you to go, just sit down for me!"

   Add more...

   Pay off debts...

   The right to explain the debt belongs to the author...

   slip away, slip away...
