Chapter 14: A long-lost task
After staying here for five days in a row, the emperor also had a general understanding of the situation here. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At the beginning of the end of the Han Dynasty, the people were not happy, even if the Han Dynasty still had some luck at this time, but the inside and outside of the court had long been festering, the civil servants were spineless, the military ministers were violent, and there were few officials who really petitioned for the people in the event of disasters.
Under this trend, the demons are rampant, bandits are rampant, and there are three big thieves gathered here within a hundred miles of Zuoquan Village to occupy the mountain as the king.
It is surrounded by Qingquan Mountain in the north, Eagle's Beak Mountain in the south, and Roe Deer Mountain in the east.
This is located in a remote area, although the county has also sent troops to encircle and suppress several times, but the bandits have long been familiar with the terrain here, many times of encirclement and suppression not only did not exterminate it but also lost a lot of manpower in vain, and in a few years the county order changed and changed, but these three bandits are still rooted here, and have formed a scale.
The officers and soldiers don't care, and the bandits don't have the courage to get involved in the county, but the hardships have made the people and merchants here suffer.
The bandits are unscrupulous, mostly brutal and unscrupulous, not only robbing the surrounding businesses, but also the villagers here have repeatedly provoked and harassed.
Zuoquan Village is adjacent to Roe Deer Mountain, and has been bullied a lot in the past, under this trend, Han Chou stepped forward to gather the young and middle-aged people in the village to contend with it, which retained a pure land for Zuoquan Village.
It's just that, compared with the murderous bandits in the mountains, the strength of Zuoquan Village is still too weak, in more than two years, Roe Deer Mountain has never heard of decay, but this Zuoquan Village has died 12 people, which is a huge loss for a village with only more than 40 households.
"This is not a place to stay for a long time, Chu Yan's injuries have also recovered, perhaps, it is time for me to leave." Touching the wrench on his thumb, Huangfu Mu muttered.
"It's just, now that I'm gone, where am I going?!"
When you think of the Three Kingdoms era, what is the first thing that comes to mind?
Chaotic times, insidious and terrible enemies, as well as never-ending wars and strife and dazzling literary stars.
That's right, that's the point. Any monarch will have a large group of loyal servants who serve him. Cao Cao has five good generals, and the five tiger generals under Liu Da'er are also lions of wolves and leopards, not to mention an epic existence like a phoenix and a dragon.
As for the three tigers of the Sun family in the south, there are also well-known generals like Zhou Yu, Gan Ning, and Tai Shici guarding their family business.
And at present, the emperor is only Chu Yan, and he has no status at all in this magnificent era.
In other words, this Han Chou is a talent, if it is used by me, I must be able to play an extra hole card to save my life in this chaotic era.
It's just that the emperor is just thinking about this kind of thing.
Huangfu Mu is now completely poor and white, starting from scratch. How difficult it is to gain the allegiance of others. Of course, it's no wonder that strength is respected here, and Huangfu Mu didn't show enough strength, so how could it be so easy to gain the allegiance of his subordinates?
Otherwise, I will also follow the example of those civil servants and military generals to find a monarch to assist?
It's just that now that the yellow turban is not chaotic, and the three major forces with prestige in the future have not yet risen, even if you want to assist me, where can I find it?
Thinking of this, Huangfu Mu only felt that his mood was becoming more and more irritable, and then leaned against the wall and stopped thinking.
………………
Late at night, the darkness fell.
The emperor who had just had dinner had nothing to do and walked casually on the village road.
Unlike when he first came to the village, he was afraid and suspicious, and Huangfu Mu did not make any excessive moves when he came here for five days, which also made Zuoquan Village gradually reduce its hostility towards him.
In the middle of the road, from time to time, there are still people smiling and showing goodwill, without half a bit of vigilance.
Looking at these hard-working villagers in front of him, Huangfu Mu couldn't help but feel that whether it was a hero or a hero, it was all for profit, only these villagers had the most simple ideas, and they worked every day just to make a living.
It's just that the future world will be stormy, and the tragedy of ten rooms and nine empty rooms is not alarmist, and at that time, what will Zuoquan Village become, even if you think about it, it makes Huangfu Mu shudder.
Huangfu Mu knows that his current strength is too humble, even if he has a system, but in the face of the surging waves of the great era, it is like an ant shaking a tree, and there is no strength to compete with.
With a lot of thoughts in his heart, the emperor unconsciously walked into the remote field.
"Huh?"
At this time, Huangfu Mu swept a trembling figure in front of his eyes, which made him raise his eyebrows. You know, it's already night at this time, and the villagers who are working have already returned home, so what is this guy doing?!
Thinking of this, Huangfu Mu couldn't help but feel a little curious, and then he walked slowly towards the other party.
The man didn't notice Huang Fu Mu, his figure knelt on the ground and trembled more and more, and under the gaze of the moonlight, Huang Fu Mu also saw the other party's true face clearly.
Han Chou!
That figure turned out to be Han Chou!
There was no one else in front of him, only a tombstone made of bluestone.
"Dead......... I'm going to die........."
Unlike the cold and grim Han Chou, Han Chou, who was kneeling in front of the tombstone at this time, choked up in a choked tone, muttered something in his mouth from time to time, and his expression was full of sadness.
Looking at the tombstone, Han Chou's face was bitter, in order to fight against the mountain bandits, he tried his best to form an escort team in order to be able to bring the villagers a way to live, but two years have passed, not only has the village not improved, but the original young and middle-aged people have been killed and injured twelve people, which indicates that nearly one-third of the families in the village have lost their loved ones.
Although the villagers did not say anything, those who had joined the escort team did not intend to quit.
But Han Chou felt uncomfortable in his heart, in his opinion, those people died because of him, because of his resistance, because of his self-righteous resistance, they died, they all died.
Take this time as an example, it was clear that ten people ambushed and killed seven people, and obviously he had set so many traps, but the second child of the Wang family was still cut off his neck with a knife in front of him, Han Chou still can't forget that scene, that face, and that pair of eyes containing despair and fear.
Han Chou was cowardly at this moment, and when he returned from the ambush, he wanted to celebrate with the villagers, but the cold corpse of his companion inspired him not to let up a bit.
Facing the future, he was full of fear, he didn't dare to think, if Roe Deer Mountain really wanted to set foot in Zuoquan Village one day, what should he do to fight against it at that time? !
Is it for the roe deer mountain?
Seeing Han Chou's incomparably fragile side, Huangfu Mu's face was a little gloomy, except for the roe deer mountain surrounding the village, he couldn't think of any other existence that could make this kind of iron man reveal such a fragile side.
A dozen people versus a hundred, this strong disparity in strength is simply not something that can be reversed by manpower.
Faced with this scene, Huangfu Mu's face was expressionless, but his eyes also revealed a little desolation.
"Abba, what should I do? What the hell am I supposed to do?! ”
At this moment, Han Chou finally collapsed with all his might, and his deliberately lowered voice made people feel an indescribable irritability in his heart like a knife carving.
And at this time, the long-lost system prompt sounded again.
