489. Kind old lady
Liu Bei and the three of them gradually walked away with the soldiers and horses, and the remaining Yellow Turban Army also dispersed in a hurry, basically all of them were gone, at this time on the wasteland, Li Hugo dragged the yellow robe on his body, and he put Zhang Bao's armor on his body.
Zhang Bao was wearing a piece of armor, which was a type of Qin armor, which happened to be black, so it could also be worn as clothes.
So Li Hugo put on a folded black armor and carried a big knife, looking like a chivalrous ranger, which made Li Hugo very proud when he walked.
Although he said that he was free, soon trouble came, Li Hugo was about to starve to death, and all the way he was a victim who fled everywhere because of the war, and he walked for three days without a horse.
Li Hugo took out the Sun and Moon Knife, and he muttered, "Hurry up...... I hate walking, but it's better to fly with Edge......"
He sat under a tree with sunken cheeks, and in the past three days, except for drinking water, he almost didn't eat a grain of rice, and directly put his chest against his back: "I'm so hungry, even if it's a worry-free dark dish now, I will definitely be able to eat all ......."
stroked this belly, which made Li Hugo very uncomfortable.
"Young man......" An old lady in rags and on crutches happened to pass by, because Li Hugo was on the official road, so it was very conspicuous, and there were many people like Li Hugo.
Nowadays, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, disasters continued, coupled with the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the people were not able to make a living, whether it was a village or a county seat, almost all of them were ten rooms and nine empty, and the prosperous ones were only those big cities, and the countryside was the victim of this dispute.
"Madame, please forgive the juniors for not getting up and asking questions. Li Hugo laughed miserably, and said in his heart that he would not die before he left the army, would he starve to death before he could deal with the enemy.
Li Hugo patted his cheek and quickly shook his head, but the intense hunger made him not have any strength at all.
"Take it and eat it, you're still young. "The old lady took out a steamed bun, the steamed bun is already a little moldy, but looking at the old lady's appearance, I'm afraid this is one of the few grains that the old lady has.
At this time, Li Hugo was already on the verge of starvation, he took the steamed bun and swallowed it in three or two bites, he didn't expect a moldy steamed bun to be so delicious.
The old lady laughed when she saw it: "Eat slowly, no one is robbing you, look at your appearance, it seems that you are a soldier returning from the front line?"
"I am a township protector, but our township is ...... They were all ruined by the Yellow Turban Thieves. Li Hugo said that he could not say that he was born as a yellow turban thief, otherwise the people here would beat him to death.
Although it is said that the Yellow Turban Rebellion is a peasant uprising, but in fact the common people do not want to see them, of course, there must be a reason for this uprising, the cause of this uprising is different from the cause of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising, the reason for this uprising is that the corruption and incompetence of the Han court in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the court has long been made into a miasma by the party struggle, the people have no food, the people take food as the sky, it coincides with the drought, the world is in drought, the court is not good, the people can not survive, and naturally began to rebel.
The people's lives are getting worse and worse, Zhang Jiao feels that the time is ripe, but unexpectedly, an undercover agent in Beijing was reported, and the uprising was forced to start a month earlier.
After the uprising, Zhang Jiao didn't know how to win the hearts of the people, Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army, attacking cities everywhere, robbing everywhere, making the people unpeaceful.
In contrast, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising knew how to win the hearts and minds of the people, not to oppose the old class, and to unite with the old class.
Zhang Jiao's uprising was soon suppressed by the army, just like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's. Under the suppression of the army, Zhang Jiao's army became even more powerful, launching an attack in more than 20 counties across the country, and the first battle of the imperial court was not won, and the morale of the army was low.
The imperial court sent Huangfu Song to participate in the encirclement and suppression was trapped, and had no choice but to send reinforcements to rescue, and under the joint attack of Huangfu Song and the reinforcements, the imperial army's army finally achieved a big victory
。 After that, the imperial court won one victory after another, and the momentum and morale of the rebel army gradually decreased.
Zhang Jiao was forced to flee to a remote place, waiting for the right time to attack the Han Dynasty again, and then Wancheng was snatched back by the officers and soldiers, and the Han general Zhu Jun pacified the Wancheng area.
When the Han army was like a bamboo, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Jiao, died of illness, Zhang Jiao's illness and death, indicating that the uprising in the late Eastern Han Dynasty had come to an end.
Therefore, without the support of the common people, such a movement will naturally go to ruin, and the rebel army is no different from the imperial court, and the people naturally do not support it.
Along the way, Li Hugo also saw several scattered Yellow Turban thieves being beaten to death by the people and then hanging from trees, which shows that the Yellow Turban thieves are also not welcomed.
He ate and drank enough, and entered the ranks of the victims, who were all yellow-skinned and looked malnourished, and Li Hugo's gray face was naturally not too eye-catching.
In today's chaotic situation, down-and-out villagers like Li Hugo abound, after all, Xiangyong is just an army put together by the people, and it is incomparable with the regular official army.
"Madame, are you alone?" Li Hugo walked beside the old lady, took great care of this old lady who was kind to a meal, and also helped with the luggage.
The old lady was stunned for a moment, and she sighed: "The old man has a son and a daughter, and a son...... went to the battlefield and didn't come back, as for the daughter...... Disappeared while escaping. ”
The old lady took out a hairpin, and she said, "This is my daughter's hairpin...... But in the vast sea of people, where can I find the old body?"
"Don't worry too much, old lady, Jiren has his own natural appearance, I think Miss will be fine. Li Hugo said.
The old lady smiled and said: "I hope that when I was separated, my daughter took this path, although there is little hope, but it is always a hope." ”
"Haha, then I might as well go along. Li Hugo said, "Anyway, I have nothing to do." ”
The old lady nodded, very relieved in her heart.
The group of refugees came to a lake, at this time it was close to dusk, everyone also stopped to rest, Li Hugo also did not have any luggage, because of the long journey, so he was sweaty, he couldn't help but wear a pair of pants, and jumped into the lake.
The reason why they are still wearing pants is because there are many big girls among the refugees, and it is indecent to show them their bodies.
The fire was raised, and a group of people crowded together to keep warm, although the conditions were difficult, the fire in the darkness seemed to be the only consolation for people, but the fire light would not only bring comfort, but also bring danger, after all, the fire in the darkness looked quite dazzling.
