Chapter 27: The Scourge of War
In this way, Ge Liang and the three of them did not choose to make a quick and fast journey, but went all the way to Luoyang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Anyway, the Spirit Emperor didn't ask him when he would arrive, if he wanted to be fast, he could arrive in less than seven days. However, he plans to give himself some time to adjust himself on the road and summarize his experience over the past year or so.
Since the last Battle of Changshe, when Ge Liang killed the Digong general Zhang Bao, he has clearly realized his shortcomings.
Although he still killed Zhang Bao in the end, most of that was lucky. If Zhang Bao hadn't fled in a panic at that time, then it would have been difficult for him to kill the other party easily by himself.
After all, during the day, he also fought with this treasure. In fact, this Zhang Bao's force, among the fierce generals of the Three Kingdoms, is only average. What he can become famous is his identity as the duke of the earth and the younger brother of the heavenly duke Zhang Jiao.
At that time, in the first fight between him and Zhang Bao, he took seven or eight steps back to stabilize his figure, but Zhang Bao only retreated less than three steps, and everyone could see the difference.
"Alas, it's still lacking in strength, and it seems that I'll have to step up my training in the future." At this time, Ge Liang shook his head and sighed slightly.
Although he is a world of difference now compared to the beginning, but after all, his foundation is thin, so his progress is only greater than before.
If his strength was about the same as Zhang Bao's at that time, or not very far behind, he could have knocked the opponent off the horse with the second leap and the golden gun pointed directly at Zhang Bao's head. Instead of being shocked by the other party and flying behind, he finally resorted to the horse pistol in a hurry.
"Lord, now the Yellow Turban is in charge, although the imperial court has intermittently exterminated a lot, and the lord has also killed the earth and the people. But on this day, the general Zhang Jiao, known as the Great Sage, was still making trouble in Guangzong, and even Dongzhonglang General Dong Zhuo couldn't take him, so the Yellow Turban Army all over the country still did not give up. ”
Xu Shu, who was riding on a horse on the side, looked at Ge Liang with a solemn expression beside him, thinking that he was worried about the situation in the world, so he stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and slowly commented on the current situation of the Yellow Turban.
This is the thirteenth day since Ge Liang and his party set out from Changshe, and today they have just entered Hanoi. If they follow their speed, it will only be two or three days away from Luoyang.
However, along the way, the three of them met a lot of innocent people who had been displaced by the war.
"Well, if Tiangong Zhangjiao is not removed for a day, the rebellious heart of this yellow turban will never be extinguished."
Ge Liang also very much agrees with Xu Shu's analysis, capture the thief first and capture the king, if this horn does not die, then the Yellow Turban thieves all over the country will never be extinct. And even if Zhang Jiao dies, these hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army will have to be cleaned up slowly, so this is not something that can be solved in a day.
"By the way, my lord, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, the father of this land, grew up with Zhang Jiao since they were children, even if they are brothers, it is not an exaggeration. Now that both of them have been beheaded by the lord, I am afraid that this horn will go crazy and come to take revenge when the time comes. ”
Xu Shu on the side paused, the corners of his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he analyzed more far-reaching problems at once.
"Yes, Yuan Nao is right. Even if it is me, if anyone kills my brother, I will try my best to take revenge in the future. Therefore, we must now try our best to cultivate our own forces, and although the 20,000 troops we have in our hands today are among the best in quality, there is a clear gap in quantity. ”
Regarding Xu Shu's question, Ge Liang has not thought about it. But fortunately, this corner is still making trouble in Guangzong, although this Dong Zhuo can't help him, but it is enough to contain the latter, at least give them time to develop.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Ge Liang found that there were a large number of rioters in front of him, and it seemed that they had just come down from the battlefield, and there were even many dying soldiers among them.
"Let's go, Xuande, Yuanzhi, let's go over and see if there's anything we can help with."
As a person with a 21st century mindset, Ge Liang has never been merciful to his enemies. But for these poor people to encounter difficulties, he still won't let them go.
In his previous life, his father died early, and his mother worked alone to pull him grow up and successfully complete his studies by doing some small jobs and with the help of good neighbors next door.
Later, as soon as he graduated, I don't know if it was because his wish was finally fulfilled, and his mother's body collapsed all of a sudden. That night, he hurried to the hospital and saw his mother away.
He Ge Liang has never been a rich and noble person, it is precisely because of the environment in which he has lived since he was a child, so he has a deep understanding of the situation of these innocent people.
War is a matter for a country, but it is always these ordinary people who suffer. Since he Ge Liang saw it, he would definitely not care, he would help as much as he could, and it could be regarded as an explanation to himself.
"Okay, big brother."
"Yes, my lord."
Liu Bei and Xu Shu heard that Ge Liang was going to help the suffering people, so they immediately agreed without hesitation.
Because over the years, their lives have not been very good, although Liu Bei is said to be the queen of the royal family, but this blood relationship is too far away, in the final analysis, they still live the life of ordinary people, otherwise he and his mother would not have sold straw sandals to make a living.
And Xu Shu originally made a living by teaching, and his life was quite passable. Later, because of the war in Yingchuan, the war once spread to the Changshe, and those school-appropriate young people had no intention of studying at all, and said that "under the chaos, it is useless to study".
No one wanted to study, he had no source of livelihood, and in the end, he barely survived with the help of relatives and friends who were also ordinary people. When Ge Liang came to him that day, he was already facing the dilemma of having no rice to cook.
So when the two of them saw these innocent people, they were in the same mood as Ge Liang, and they both wanted to do what they could.
After a while, Ge Liang and the three of them came to this village. Then I inquired about some basic information.
Originally, this village was called Zhangjia Village, and people surnamed Zhang used to live. Later, due to the influence of the war, some village names that had some relationship with Hanoi City went to the city to escape the war, and only a small number of helpless village names remained here.
Until recently, the fighting had spread to the area and to other surrounding villages, implicating many innocent people, most of whom were injured to some extent.
And some of the soldiers who were dying in battle, some of them couldn't bear it, and they also brought it with them.
Because some people heard that there was a miracle doctor here who treated them for free, who were injured but had no money to go into the city for treatment, so everyone came here.
Sure enough, as soon as Ge Liang and the others entered the village, they saw an old man wearing a shabby gray cloth hat, gray temples, and plain clothes, who was pulling out an arrow for a soldier who had been hit by an arrow.
