Chapter 41: On the similarities and differences of the world

The tent was full of people, and almost everyone had anxious expressions on their faces, and it was extremely noisy when no one spoke.

Luo Chuan sat upright, his hands on his knees, his face was very calm.

Aside from him, the only one in the tent who was quite calm was Han Li, Marquis of Anyang.

Because Han Li was the only one who was still relatively safe.

He looked at the anxious faces of everyone, knowing that only he was the most suitable to say these words now, he sighed slightly, and said, "Zichuan Gong, please lead the army back to Kanto." ”

With this sentence, the temperature in the camp seemed to be rising, and the sound of the heartbeat of Dong Dong Dong was beating violently, and it could be seen that everyone was very nervous.

A hint of a sigh flashed on Luo Chuan's face, and then he looked at everyone: "I know that you are all anxious.

But you are well aware of the difficulty of the army's movements.

The families are scattered in the states, and it is inevitable to divide the army, Zhang Jiao broke through the Yuan Shao coalition army, and the strength can be imagined.

The safest thing to do now is to stay with the imperial army and the Western Regions army of the Wushuang Marquis, as well as the army of the Qinwang of Hongnong and other counties.

If we return to Kanto, we will be weak, and we will give Taihei an opportunity to take advantage of.

The road ahead is full of thorns, so think about it. ”

Han Zhang, Marquis of Huaiyin, said angrily: "Zichuan Gong, how can we not know?

We have been friends for three hundred years, and since you have stepped on the battlefield, will you still be afraid of death?

The emperors of the Liu family have given these three hundred years of glory, and it is difficult for us to support the Liu family in Fengtianjing, even if the Han family's mandate of heaven is declining, it is just to return all the flesh and blood of this body to the Liu family.

And what to be afraid of! ”

When Han Zhang, the Marquis of Huaiyin, said this, everyone in the tent nodded in agreement, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

This is the fashion of the Han Dynasty, the food of the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, loyalty to the lord, death for loyalty, even those inseparable courtiers who fight each other for interests, should not hesitate to die when they should be loyal to the lord.

Especially the position of the princes of the five surnames is not so easy to bear.

When you mention the word Huaiyin, who will you think of?

There have been countless Huaiyin Marquis in the three hundred years of the Han Dynasty, but when you mention these two words, you will always think of Han Xin and Han Wumu!

The ancestor is too famous, just like Luo's, this is the shackle that needs to be carried, as the head of the family, he must be ready to be loyal to the royal family at any time.

Han Zhang's words were indignant, his tone became lower, and he said in a low voice: "Since you have inherited the throne, life and death have long been put aside, but the relatives, wives and children of the family are all in Kanto County.

The wives and daughters in the family are beautiful, whether they are officials or bandits, lewd things are like gangrene attached to the bones, who can not covet it, if the city is broken, there is only one death.

The sergeants and soldiers of the army are all warriors of a hundred battles, and they have long put life and death aside, but now that their families are above the sword, even if they stay here, where is there any fighting spirit?

It is better to directly lead the armies back to Kwantung, and return to their hometowns, if the Taiping army really stops them, then they will fight to the death. ”

As soon as Han Zhang's words came out, a sigh sounded in the tent, which was what everyone was most worried about.

From the time they took over the throne, life and death were no longer in their consideration.

But the inheritance of the family, the reputation of the family, the stability of the clan, and the peace of the family are all issues to be considered.

Not to mention the mentality of the soldiers, even if they are veterans of a hundred battles, if their family falls into the hands of the enemy, then there is absolutely no second possibility except surrender.

Therefore, the protection of the families of the soldiers is one of the most important things for all princes.

If the soldiers in front fought bloodily, and the news came from the back that the family was gone, the morale of the army would be scattered, and it would be more likely that the army would mutiny.

What Han Zhang said was what everyone said in their hearts, Luo Chuan was of course clear and understood, but in Luo Chuan's opinion, it was too dangerous to go back like this.

But man is such an irrational animal, he will make many mistakes, and he will do things that he thinks are right now, but will prove wrong in the future.

Luo Chuan didn't have any superfluous words to let them let go of the worries in their hearts, with such a huge organization of the five surnames, the army of 100,000 Luo Clan could not protect it.

The continuous wars, mainly the isolation of roads, have brought the world's commerce to a standstill and a rapid decline, which is a great blow to Rockwell.

However, Zhaocheng has always had the habit of storing various materials, and it will not be affected in a short time, and now Zhaocheng trains his clansmen in batches to prevent possible big changes in the future.

In case a warlord who is not afraid of death is ready to come to the Luo clan to fight the autumn wind, he can't directly use the increasingly rare and precious luck points and artifacts, and he still has to rely on the Luo clan's own strength to fight it.

After hearing this, Luo Chuan knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, so he stood up from the seat without saying a word, and then walked out of the camp tent, and at a glance, the barracks were full of whispering voices.

Under the deliberate spread of the Taiping Dao, the Yuan Shao coalition army was annihilated, and the news that the Taiping army pointed to the eastern part of the country spread everywhere, and the impetuousness of the military spirit was obvious.

Everyone in the tent walked out one after another, Luo Chuan was looking at the army, everyone was looking at him, I don't know how long it took, Luo Chuan said leisurely: "Ben Hou will go to see Wushuang Hou, pack your bags." ”

As soon as Luo Chuan's words came out, everyone's faces were first happy, and then there was a deep sense of unease, and they responded one after another, and then went down to appease their soldiers.

……

Luo Chuan did not delay, since he had made up his mind, he had to act resolutely, and after the guard reported, he walked straight into the Wushuang Hou Luokong camp.

Seeing Luo Chuan's solemn face, Luo Kong and Jia Xu glanced at each other, Luo Kong waved his hand and asked Luo Chuan to sit down, Jia Xu waved the feather fan in his hand, slowly took two steps back, and hid himself in a shadow.

"My brother-in-law is here because all the Kanto families want to lead the army home?"

It was really easy to deduce this point with Jia Xu's grasp of people's hearts, Luo Chuan nodded with a heavy face: "Ziming, I wanted to fight side by side with you, but the armies are like arrows, I'm afraid it won't work." ”

Suddenly, a gloomy and sympathetic voice came, it was Jia Xu who was hiding in the shadows, "It is best for Zichuan Gong to lead the army to stay in the army, and it is far away to return to the mountains of Guandong, and he will definitely encounter the Taiping Road." ”

Luo Chuan still has a deep impression of Jia Xu, this is a strategist who doesn't speak on weekdays, but gets to the point as soon as he speaks, and he never has a purpose.

But Luo Chuan smiled when he heard this and said, "How could I not know what Wen said to you?"

But these people I brought out from Kanto, and these people defected because of my reputation, and now if I don't bring these people back safely, how can I rest assured? ”

Jia Xu stopped talking.

This is Luo's style, this is the fundamental reason why Jia Xu is willing to follow Luo's, as long as he is upright, Luo's will never leave him, and it is the best choice for people like him who seek stability.

Luo Kong didn't persuade either, he hugged his fists and said: "We will go to the book together in Luoyang, and we will say that we will go to the eastern part of the country to fight against the Taiping Army, and the Qinwang Army will have autonomy." ”

Luo Chuan nodded, and when he returned to Kanto, he naturally couldn't say directly to the emperor, we are not diligent to the king, it is really ugly.

Looking at the figure of Luo Chuan turning to leave, Luo Kong suddenly felt that there was blood all over the sky in front of him, and he seemed to see Luo Chuan with countless blood under his feet every step he took.

Luo Kong was in a trance for a moment, and suddenly said: "In the land of the Central Plains, there are outstanding people, and many Han people in the Western Regions want to return to the Central Plains, even many Han people in the Wushuang Marquis Kingdom also think so.

The nobles of the Central Plains did not take the nobles of the Western Regions in their eyes, and they were even despised as barbarians in their hearts.

I, the unparalleled marquis of the Western Regions, if it weren't for the holy stigma in the center of my eyebrows, I am afraid that when I came to this Central Plains, I would be squeezed out to death.

But now looking at the five surnamed liehou who left in a hurry, he suddenly felt that the Western Regions was really a treasure land, at least it could preserve the family better than the Central Plains. ”

Jia Xu knew that Luo Kong was talking to himself because of his feelings, he took two steps forward and walked out of the shadows, this is the contradiction of the noble clan.

He pondered for a while and said: "There is an iron law in politics that the closer you are to the core of power, the greater the power in your hands, which is why people like eunuchs and relatives can rise.

The nobles of the Western Regions and Lingnan are indeed very safe in troubled times, but in non-troubled times, it may be that Luoyang will completely wipe out the clan.

Therefore, for the sake of power, it is necessary to be close to the capital, and even to move the family to the capital for convenience, this is a wealthy family in Luoyang like the Yuan family.

But the disadvantage of this is that the danger is greatly enhanced, and it is easy to be served by others.

The many wealthy families who are now trapped in Luoyang City can use even less resources and power than an ordinary warrior warlord.

In fact, the most suitable place to stop in these border wastelands is Zhaocheng, and Xu has always believed that Zhaocheng is really inappropriate in Jizhou. ”

Luo Kong didn't expect Jia Xu, who is usually quiet to speak, to say so many words at once today, it seems that Jia Xu has gradually integrated into Luo's.

But the capital city of a country can't be moved lightly, let alone Luo's, where to move?

Jia Xu raised the feather fan in his hand and stopped talking, which is to face Luo's son, if he worships other lords, he will definitely not say so much.

……

Luo Xiao looked at the information he had just obtained, his face was full of seriousness, and he saw that the five surnamed families and the heroes of the counties really returned to Kanto as he expected.

The generals of the Taiping Army were all sitting in the hall, and this information was also in their hands, and they were all quite excited: "Dao Master, the Han Ting has divided its troops again, are we going to attack them?" ”

These generals all knew that Luo Xiao had been trying to get the Han Ting side to divide his troops in order to reduce the pressure of the attack later, and now it seemed that the plan had been executed very successfully.

The sudden return of the five surnamed families caused the battle line to be very long, and all kinds of materials were a little unable to keep up, even if they were the elite soldiers of the various families, but for Luo Xiao, defeating such an army was naturally easy to capture.

But for Luo Xiao, it is not half beneficial to stop an army that is like an arrow, and even if this army returns to Kanto, it will have to face the surging Taiping Dao and all kinds of rebels except Taiping Dao.

As soon as Taiping Dao took the lead in the uprising, countless rebels who had long been unwilling to endure rose up, which was the main reason why the prefectures and counties could not stop the uprising.

Otherwise, Taiping Dao is only hundreds of thousands of Taoists, and under the constraints of Luo Xiao, if he doesn't break the city and coerce him, how can he suddenly grow so strong.

There are millions of rebels in the current Kanto under the banner of Taiping Dao, but in fact, many of them are impersonators, including bandits who do all kinds of evil, righteous men who rise up from the pole, and farmers who do not want to be oppressed, but Luo Xiao doesn't see it.

He is always sober and does not try to be the savior of everyone, and does not try to save everyone's fate.

That is the realm of God, not man.

Since that day, when the stars were shining, he knew that he had only one goal from beginning to end, and that was to be a healer in this world.

The Han dynasty should have been 400 years, but the emergence of Luo's changed everything, according to reality, it should not be 400 years, so the world is in decay, degeneration and continuous decay.

No matter how capable people are, they can't change the gradual erosion of the Han family, and those who want to open up a new world will be ruthlessly suppressed by the Mandate of Heaven, which is the dark world of the next hundred years.

It's like a person who has a fatal sore on his body, but there is always a thousand-year-old ginseng hanging for his life.

What Luo Xiao did was to directly destroy the thousand-year-old ginseng, and quickly kill this person, as for what the new people will be like in the future.

That would be out of his power, because he was going to die, he was just a mortal, and it was enough to complete the first step.

There are countless talents in this world, and Luo Xiao believes that these people can choose the best path for the world.

Countless thoughts flashed through Luo Xiao's mind, and finally said slowly: "Yinghou Luochuan leads a group of people who are like arrows, it is not appropriate to stop the pen and ink from being taken, I want to write a letter to Yinghou."

Then we led the army directly to Luoyang and fought a decisive battle with the Han court's last army to protect Luoyang. ”

Hearing this, all the Qu Shuai in the hall had a solemn look on their faces, and they all straightened up, clasped their fists together and said, "Obey the orders of the Dao Master!" ”

————

Zhang Jiao was one of the few rebels who could get a relatively positive evaluation from the ruling class, and the ancient rulers usually slandered the rebels as careerists and thieves, but Zhang Jiao was evaluated as "the official forced the people to rebel", "the emperor was stupid, and he could not reuse the sages, so that the country would be destroyed", and "King Zhang".

This was an unimaginable achievement in the ancient autocracy that advocated loyalty, and I have studied the reasons for this and finally come to the following conclusions.

First, during the period when Zhang Jiao dominated the world, those who later became famous fought against Zhang Jiao, sympathized with Zhang Jiao's suffering, and admired Zhang Jiao's ability.

Second, Zhang Jiao's martial arts have been recorded relatively completely in the history books, and this is a person with almost no black spots.

Third, the Han Tianzi, who was the same era as Zhang Jiao, was portrayed as a typical faint monarch, which gave Zhang Jiao a great space for maneuver.

This is Zhang Jiao, the world's No. 1 "anti-thief", a genius that the enemy has to admire. - "The Legend of Zhang Jiao"
