Volume 2 Counting the Edge and Revealing the Peak of the Martial Arts Chapter 369
But with the passage of time, the establishment of the state and the concentration of power, so that the rulers have supreme power, the expansion of power will bring greater greed, the greed in human nature is infinitely magnified, so they are like black birds entrenched on the carrion, greedily pecking at the rotten flesh, but at the same time, the wild dogs who covet these carrion also want to occupy the carrion, so the fight is inevitable.
Unlike the fight between beasts, the war between humans is much more brutal, tens of thousands of lives will be lost in a short time, leaving only piles of corpses that nourish the birds and beasts and the earth, perhaps, only then will people appear selfless and generous, because from then on, everything in this world has nothing to do with them.
Although it is depopulated, it has become a paradise for birds and beasts, who can feast on the countless corpses in the ruins.
The sound of horses' hooves came quickly, and the wild dog, which had just snatched the carcass from the blackbird, had not had time to enjoy the delicious meal in his hand when he noticed that many "uninvited guests" had appeared not far away.
"Whew!"
The wild dog opened its teeth fiercely, trying to scare away the approaching fellows with its menacing appearance, after all, here it and its kind, in this way alone, scared away many competitors.
But soon the wild dogs found that their method did not seem to work, because the sound of the horses' hooves, instead of moving away from here, was getting closer and closer, and as time went on, the sound of the horses' hooves became louder and louder, and even the ground trembled.
The beast's natural instinct was to sense the danger that was coming, and it knew that the voices that were approaching could not be frightened away, but that if it did not leave, it would be in danger of dying.
Knowing that it was not advisable to stay here for a long time, the wild dog quickly moved into action, only to see that it bit the arm of the dead corpse and dragged the corpse hard, trying to take the corpse away with him.
But in a hurry, how could a wild dog alone be so easy to drag an entire corpse away?
Just when the wild dog couldn't let go of this precious meal, a large black shadow suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
It was galloping
The horses, and the knight in the black cloak sat on the horse, and the wild dog's eyes only saw the tall black horse rushing to the front, and there was a mighty general, who looked ahead, and the general's eyes were so cold, that he did not look at the wild dog at all, and then in an instant, the wild dog, together with the dead body in his mouth, was knocked away by the galloping horse.
Before the wild dog flying in the air was dying, he saw in the air that behind the cold-eyed general, there were many cavalrymen who were also wearing black cloaks, and they formed a long line, trampling wantonly in this "paradise" of birds and beasts. But now this wild dog can only consider himself unlucky.
The wild dog swung in mid-air a few times before falling.
Underneath it was a large group of galloping horsemen, and when the wild dogs fell, they were trampled under the hooves of the galloping cavalry brigade in an instant, and turned into a pile of flesh, which, together with the other dead bodies here, nourished the land for nothing.
Who would have thought that just a moment ago, this wild dog was the overlord here, but it didn't take long for it to be trampled into a pulp by a group of uninvited guests who came from nowhere, and could only be used as fertilizer for the earth with the delicious food in its mouth not long ago.
These "uninvited guests" who broke into the "paradise" of birds and beasts were the tigers and leopards led by Xiahoudun.
In order not to be discovered by the fine work sent by other princes, they had to choose this remote and uninhabited place as their route forward.
When passing through this no-man's land that had long been in ruins, Xiahoudun's heart was difficult to calm down.
"The Qingzhou Army, a group of brutes, has turned this place like this!"
Xiahoudun gritted his teeth and said.
Although he led the Qingzhou army into Xuzhou, there was a mutiny in the army, and he, the commander of the Qingzhou army, was held hostage by his subordinates and imprisoned in the commander's camp.
Although he heard that during the time he was imprisoned, the Qingzhou army committed terrible crimes in Xuzhou, but when Xiahoudun saw it with his own eyes
When I saw the ruins of this town that had been trampled by the Qingzhou army, I knew how crazy this uncontrolled army was.
I saw that there was not a single intact building in the ruins of the whole town, all the houses were destroyed by fire, and under the ruins, there were charred corpses everywhere, and their deaths were extremely miserable, and they posed in various painful and distorted postures, so you can imagine how great the pain they endured before they died.
In addition to these charred corpses, even more terrifying were the corpses that had been pierced through the body by a wooden stake and placed like sculptures in the open space.
They still had the expressions of pain they had before they died, and even their faces were completely distorted.
The most outrageous thing is that among these people, there are old people, women, and even children, and there is no one they can't do it.
Xiahou Xuan's eyes widened with anger, he didn't expect that the group of Qingzhou troops under his command would do such a thing that was inferior to beasts.
He was angry, but he couldn't stay long because he had more important things to do.
"When I go back, I must teach these inhuman brutes a good lesson!"
Xiahoudun gritted his teeth and said resentfully.
But at the same time, he also knew that even if he hated these Qingzhou soldiers so much, he couldn't do anything to these people after he really let him go back.
Because the people who committed these heinous crimes were not one person, nor a group of people, but the entire Qingzhou Army, hundreds of thousands of people, each of them more or less participated in this tragedy that annihilated humanity, if Xiahoudun wanted to be punished, should all the Qingzhou Army be punished? Or is it to find out the culprit of this incident and let him bear the blame? But the question is, the person who gave the order to massacre the soldiers and civilians of Xuzhou was his lord, and at the same time his good brothers, Cao Cao and Cao Mengde, who he respected and loved, did he want to stand up for the people of Xuzhou and repay the soldiers and civilians of Xuzhou with his lord's life?
The complex and contradictory mood suddenly made Xiahoudun irritable.
Bang.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the sky, and a roar of thunder pulled the restless Xia Houdun back from his irritable thoughts.
