"Alas, in the past, the Son of Heaven lived, but now it has turned into a scorched earth, sad, lamentable." Zhuge Jin looked at Luoyang City, which was already in ruins, from a distance and sighed.

Human adaptability is always so unscientifically strong, since being forced to drag on the horse by Xu Sheng, after a few days of life and death, Zhuge Jin actually began to get used to the bumps on the horse's back.

Not to mention skillful, but it can also move forward safely and steadily.

Zhuge Jin can now finally enjoy the scenery of the rapid retreat on both sides, enjoy the pleasure of galloping horses, and don't have to worry about throwing up today's breakfast.

"Ziyu, how long will it take~~" Xu Sheng was lying on the back of a horse like a salted fish, and asked listlessly.

After the freshness of the first few days, he was in a hurry, which made Xu Sheng, who was active by nature, soon feel bored, like tying up a child with ADHD to death, and soon he was gone.

Now, it's Zhuge Jin's turn to teach Xu Sheng a lesson.

"Mencius once said that the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they will be tempted to endure and gain what they cannot." Zhuge Jin said seriously.

"Ziyu, are you annoying, my ears are almost cocooned with this sentence, so let's change it." Xu Sheng said impatiently.

"Okay, another word." Zhuge Jin laughed and said, ""Shangshu Zhoushu has clouds, forbearance, and help; There is tolerance, and virtue is great. Xiaonu, your temperament still needs to be polished. ”

"But it's really boring, it's not interesting at all except riding a horse or riding a horse every day." Xu Sheng asked boredly, "How far is it?" ”

"It's about halfway there." Zhuge Jin estimated.

"What!" Xu Sheng almost jumped up from his horse, "After walking for so long, this is only half of the walk?" ”

Seeing Zhuge Jin nodding affirmatively, Xu Sheng's body instantly softened again.

"Good! Not! Somewhat! Yes! ”

Ignoring Xu Sheng's wail, Zhuge Jin took out the map and looked at it for a while, then pointed out the direction, and the team began to march again.

It's just that the deeper he goes into the division, Zhuge Jin no longer has the same ease and comfort as before, his face becomes more and more solemn, and even Xu Sheng, who has been howling and bored, has become solemn.

At first, in the vicinity of Luoyang, at most, there were no people nearby, the farmland was barren, the roads were in disrepair, and the houses were overgrown with weeds.

Zhuge Jin knew that this was the consequence of Dong Zhuo's forced relocation of more than a million people around Luoyang, but it was all good.

Now when I go deep into the division, what catches my eye is a human tragedy.

There were white bones on the road, and there were even corpses lying quietly on the side of the road, while a few crows on the branches on the side were waiting for Xu Sheng and his party to leave and then have their own feast.

Occasionally, the people passing by seemed to be numb, turning a blind eye, the summer wind blew, but Xu Sheng felt extremely cold.

Xu Sheng lowered his head silently, he had seen this scene, this was a memory he didn't want to recall when he was a child, when the Yellow Turban was in trouble in Xuzhou, what he saw today seemed to pull Xu Sheng to the past in an instant.

Everyone's mood was a little heavy, and the pace couldn't help but slow down. At this time, Xu Sheng, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly stopped, turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the corpse on the side of the road.

Zhuge Jin was about to speak, but he didn't know what to say. Xu Sheng knelt on the ground silently, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and dug on the ground with difficulty.

The long sword is not a digging artifact, and Xu Sheng's digging speed is extremely slow.

But Xu Sheng didn't say a word, and the dirt was piled up on Xu Sheng's knees, forming a small mountain.

"Ugh." Zhuge Jin let out a long sigh and instructed the other soldiers, "Go and collect all the corpses nearby." ”

After speaking, Zhuge Jin also dismounted, came to Xu Sheng's side, and knelt down with Xu Sheng.

The pitch-black soil stained Zhuge Jin's robe, but Zhuge Jin quietly accompanied Xu Sheng to dig as if he hadn't seen it.

The occasional passer-by glanced numbly at this strange group of people.

They are used to these scenes, and today is the first time they have seen someone to restrain these poor people who are homeless and exposed in the wilderness.

After a glance, these exiled people ignored Zhuge Jin and his party, and turned their eyes to the horses on the side.

Looking at these fresh flesh and blood, these people couldn't help but swallow their saliva, they had been hungry for many days, and they hadn't eaten a grain of rice for a long time.

Looking at the horses, there was a greedy look in their eyes, but then the soldiers guarding the horses also came into their eyes.

The people hurriedly lowered their heads and left without looking back, knowing that these soldiers in armor and armed with sharp blades were not to be messed with.

After digging for a long time, he finally buried all the corpses around him, and the crow on the tree saw that his meal was gone, and he screamed a few times in dissatisfaction, and then flew away and flew away to find another big meal.

"Ziyu, let's go." Xu Sheng stood for a while, and then spoke.

Zhuge Jin nodded, patted the soil on his robe, and kept up with Xu Sheng's pace.

Along the way, Zhuge Jin and the others stopped and stopped, constantly praying for the souls of the dead on the side of the road, and buried them, hoping that they could live happily in the underworld.

It's just that Zhuge Jin and Xu Sheng didn't know that they had been quietly targeted by the white wave thieves wandering here.

With their guilt, the white wave thieves are only targeting the war horses under their crotches.

Since the last time he was hung up and beaten by Xu Rong and pressed on the ground and rubbed, all the masters of the White Wave Thieves have seen the horror of an organized cavalry, a terrifying force that can defeat several times the enemy.

All of you are very hot in your hearts, and you want to form a cavalry of your own, but war horses belong to strategic resources after all, and they are not so easy to get.

The war horses of the Xiliang Army gave them ten dares, and they didn't dare to start, so they could only hit the idea on the passers-by, and the white wave thieves could only collect them piecemeal, little by little.

Although there are pastures and war horses in the northern state, those families and princes are not vegetarians.

There are also a large number of war horses in the gathering place of the Xiongnu in Bingzhou, but the white wave thief will provoke such a guy unless he wants to die.

Zhuge Jin and Xu Sheng and their entourage are not much, only more than 20 people.

But more than 20 war horses, in the eyes of those ferocious white wave thieves, are already one of the few big deals in recent days.

I suffered a loss last time, but the main reason is that there are too many cavalry under Xu Rong, and this time there are more than 20 people, can you still let go?
