Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 150
Just when Luoyang was in full swing, Gongsun Xu was about to return to Bingzhou with ease.Along the way, the eyes are full of devastation, and often come across villages that have been slaughtered.

Along the road, you can see corpses that have not been buried or are being eaten by wild animals. Seeing all this, Gongsun Xu is full of emotion in his heart. Troubled times are already inevitable.

A battle of alliances, a battle of justice against the demon Dong Zhuo, brought neither hope nor victory to the people of the world, but only destruction and destruction. It really answered the sentence: Prosperity, people suffer, death, the people suffer.

Most of Dong Zhuo's army has poor military discipline. Although Li Ru intends to stop the army from harassing the local people, Li Ru only has the right to make suggestions and has no right to vote. To plunder, soldiers will support them more, and they can get more property.

As for Dong Zhuo, he has no control over these matters at all. How many of these high-ranking people can see how important the people are to them, especially Dong Zhuo, a rough man with a military background. What he values ​​is only power and the army. The rest are not worth mentioning.

Except for Dong Zhuo's army, the military discipline of the allied army is not very good. Except for a few troops with better military discipline, such as Youzhou Army and Beihai Navy, the armies of other princes have always had the bad habit of oppressing the people, especially when they are defeated or defeated. It is time to pursue the enemy army.Either get some compensation from the people, or take advantage of the fire to rob.

This is the officers and soldiers in troubled times, the disaster of soldiers is greater than that of bandits.

Since ancient times, when dynasties changed, only the people suffered. In fact, when encountering this kind of melee between the princes, it was the people who suffered.

At the beginning of the alliance, because Yuan Shao wanted to act like a righteous army, Yuan Shao was able to order military discipline to be restrained. In addition, the Youzhou Army deliberately maintained law and order along the way, and many civilians were able to survive.

Unfortunately, when the Huimeng lost its original meaning, most of the entire Allied Forces also deteriorated.

After Gongsun Xu left, the remaining vassals even secretly ordered the soldiers to go out to rob in order to increase their food and military pay. The food, money, and livestock of the people were all taken away, and even some women were also taken away. For these beasts to vent their animal desires.

What's even worse is that in order to cover up their crimes, these people actually slaughtered the robbed villages, and even those women who were robbed ended up with a dead end. .

The actions of the allied army are no different from Dong Zhuo's army. At least, Dong Zhuo knew how to appease the people when he first arrived in Luoyang. We must take advantage of this time to make a fortune, otherwise, they will get nothing from this alliance.

Within a few days, the surrounding area of ​​Luoyang was devastated, and the people who survived the disaster encountered disaster again.

The marching speed of the Youzhou army was relatively slow, and there were many people who lost their homes along the way. Gongsun Xu distributed part of the army rations along the road to help the people, and called on these people who lost their homes to migrate to Bingzhou. Gao Shun dispatched troops to escort these people to migrate.

For several days, Gongsun Xu did not see any inhabited villages, and even some small towns were looted.When it was more than 500 miles away from Bingzhou, Gongsun Xu ordered to set up camp again.

Everyone was busy. Many civilians were staying outside the barracks. Many soldiers took the initiative to help the civilians set up camp. Women and children were always given preferential treatment.Those captives who had just surrendered were very shocked by the Youzhou Army's behavior of being close to the people, but they were very moved when they came from the bottom. They always wanted to have such an army to protect themselves, but they had never encountered such an army .

The newly attached captives also rushed to help with the veterans. They liked the atmosphere of a family of soldiers and civilians.

As for Gongsun Xu, he was standing on the high hill watching the sunset. He had been standing here for nearly half an hour. Gongsun Zan also noticed that his son was a little out of order. He, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Fei both came out of the high hill. , I want to persuade Gongsun Xu.

Gongsun Zan stepped forward to persuade him, "Xu'er, the world is like this, so what can't you think about?"

Zhang Fei also muttered: "Yes, this is still a war in the Central Plains. If it is a foreign invasion, it will only be a hundred times more miserable. My lord, this is the way of the world."

Zhao Yun nodded and didn't speak, but obviously, he also agreed with what Gongsun Zan said.

After hearing this, Gongsun Xu smiled bitterly and said: "The way of the world, the way of the world, this is the way of the world made up of the blood and tears of so many people. These days, what we have seen. Whether this alliance is right or wrong depends on who you are. Or, this is just the beginning, until the end, no one knows whether it is right or wrong.

There are righteous men in Kanto, and they raise troops to fight against the gangsters.In the early days, when I met with Tianjin, my heart was in Xianyang.

The army is not in the same strength, hesitates and walks wildly.Snobbery makes people fight, and heirs kill each other..."

As soon as he finished these two sentences, Gongsun Xu couldn't continue. He only roughly remembered that this was a poem written by Cao Cao in history, and he only remembered part of it.

Just when Gongsun Zan was about to persuade, Gongsun Xu said again: "The bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for a thousand miles. Every living person leaves one, and the thought of it breaks the heart.

Father, this is all that the Huimeng has brought to the people. Troubled times are approaching, can the people still have a home to live and work in peace and contentment?We claimed to be a righteous army, but we failed to do anything righteous. If we really talk about it, we are all sinners. "

The three of Gongsun Zan stopped talking. What Gongsun Xu said was not wrong. The alliance brought disaster to the people. The suffering people outside the camp were also caused by the Youzhou Army to a certain extent.

Of course, the real culprit is not the Youzhou Army. At least the Youzhou Army has been trying to save more people. This is the way of the world, and the Youzhou Army is also a part of this world. What they can do is very limited.

"Father, I'm not going back to Youzhou. I want to stay in Bingzhou." Gongsun Xu turned his head and said to Gongsun Zan, "I will find a way to make Bingzhou prosperous and let more people move here, so that we can serve the world. People do more meaningful things.

If the world is really destined to be like this, I will fight this world to the end. I believe that man will conquer the sky, father, do you believe it? "

Gongsun Zan didn't answer immediately after hearing this, he just looked into the distance, and everyone was silent for a while.

Then, Gongsun Zan said: "If you have an idea in your heart, go ahead and do it. The whole of Youzhou will support you. Don't worry, I won't let someone with a heart take advantage of our father-son relationship to provoke us. I am your father. For the time being, I will replace you." You manage Youzhou, and when the time is right, you can take over Youzhou.

It's just that I hope you can walk your own path well. Do you know Wang Mang, at the beginning, he was worshiped by thousands of people, but he took the wrong path and was killed by those who worshiped him in the end. I don't know whether we can change this world, but I believe that as long as we are willing to do it, there will be good results.Continuation, please do it yourself. "

After finishing speaking, Gongsun Zan left, leaving Gongsun Xu, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Fei watching Gongsun Zan's back on the high hill.

Although Gongsun Zan didn't say much, he had expressed his inner thoughts, and this was the best support for Gongsun Xu.

Looking at his father's back, Gongsun Xu nodded. He didn't speak, but his heart was shouting: "Whether I am Wang Shuo or Gongsun Xu, I no longer live for myself, I want to protect my family." Family, I have to protect those people who are worthy of my protection, and this must be the reason why I came to this world."

After a long time, Gongsun Xu suddenly looked up to the sky and screamed loudly, then he looked at Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei and said with a smile: "Zilong, Yide, you have the confidence to save the people of the world together with me."

Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei immediately knelt down and said, "I am willing to follow my lord through thick and thin, and I will never give up. I believe that my lord will bring light to the people of the world."

"Okay." Gongsun continued with a smile: "It is enough to have your words, and we will work together to complete the important task of saving the common people in the world.

Within five years, we must develop Bingzhou. I want to make Bingzhou a paradise like Youzhou. By then, we will definitely be able to bring hope to the people of the world. "

Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei nodded. They saw something from Gongsun Xu, which is called responsibility, and they took saving the common people in the world as their own responsibility.This kind of Gongsun Xu can be regarded as their lord, and only then can they be regarded as the object they are willing to sacrifice their lives for.

After midnight, everyone went back to their tents. The change in Gongsun Xu's heart sent a signal to the Youzhou army. This signal was that the struggle for hegemony was about to begin.

The next day, the whole army left camp again after a hasty breakfast. The migrating people also marched with the Youzhou army after eating pancakes and porridge. In this world, they can still eat pancakes and porridge after waking up. For the displaced people, it is simply a gift.

The reason why these people were willing to follow the Youzhou army to migrate to a poor place like Bingzhou was precisely because there was a general like Gongsun Xu who was willing to protect them and distribute the little army rations to relieve them.In the eyes of these common people, Gongsun Xu has brought them hope of life.

At noon, Gongsun Xu joined Gao Shun's army who came to escort the people. Gao Shun led an army of [-] to meet Gongsun Xu. There were also many horses, mules and horses with the army. Gao Shun brought these animals for the sake of It can increase the migration speed of the migrating people. If only relying on two feet, it is unknown how many people can reach Bingzhou.

Gongsun Xu is very satisfied with Gao Shun's adaptability, which is why he can safely hand over Bingzhou to Gao Shun.

When Gao Shun visited Gongsun Xu, he briefly reported the situation in Bingzhou to Gongsunxu. Liu Bian had already stayed in Bingzhou, and Cai Yong, Lu Zhi and some other veterans had been sent to Youzhou.The reason Liu Bian was willing to stay in Bingzhou was simply to see Gongsun Xu as soon as possible.

After Gongsun Xu learned everything, he nodded his head to express his understanding.He hasn't told his father about Liu Bian's matter. Now that he is about to arrive in Bingzhou, it seems that he has to.
