"General, the Youzhou Army has come in......"

The roar passed through the yard, through the windows, and into the ears of the white sparrows.

Bai Que's mind suddenly went blank and froze. All sounds suddenly disappeared from his ears, only the beating of his own heart could be heard clearly, and all at once, like the sound of war drums, heavy and thick, the sound struck hard in his heart.

Like a frightened wild horse, the White Sparrow's guards slammed open the door with a "boom", bringing in a damp hot wind.

The white finch looked at him calmly, still holding the bamboo slip in his hand.

The leader of the guards said loudly: "General, Li Yi, the cavalry general, suddenly appeared at the West City Gate with a cavalry army. We were driving out the displaced people, and there was chaos inside and outside the city, and there was no defense. Now they've made their way into the West Side. ”

As if he hadn't heard, the white finch looked down at what he was doing.

The leader of the guards persuaded again: "General, let's go quickly, we still have time to withdraw now." ”

The white sparrow looked up at him again and said slowly, "You guys run away." I'm so tired, so tired. ”

………………

Li Yi stood on the tower of Ganling City, looking at the homeless people inside and outside the city, listening to the miserable and helpless screams, his heart was dripping blood.

Fighting, this is the consequence of fighting, this is the consequence of the Yellow Turban Army. Is this kind of scene what the Yellow Turban Army wants to see, is it what Zhang Jiao likes to see? Is it what you like to see?

Li Yi really felt that he couldn't answer.

After coming to this era, before the Yellow Turban Incident, Li Yi had been looking forward to the arrival of war in his heart, because the troubled times were an opportunity for him to rise.

But since the start of the army, Li Yi has been at a loss for several months. Even if he is now the commander of tens of thousands of troops, the powerful Han cavalry general, he found that he was really unhappy, and even sad emotions have been haunting his heart.

The people who joined the Yellow Turban Army were poor because they were unjust, and because they were a cheap race, so they had to fight. And is it right for someone like him to lead a large army to kill the Yellow Turbans? Is it fair?

Li Yi didn't understand. He came from a later life, and the education he received since he was a child was that all beings were equal, so he subconsciously thought that the Yellow Turban Army had done nothing wrong.

But the reality is cruel, some people are born noble, they are rich, and they can do whatever they want; And some people are born lowly, poor, and humiliated.

This war-torn era of the late Han Dynasty was like this, and so was the time and space in which he was originally located.

Moreover, after the Yellow Turban Army raised its troops, it did not use any effective means to improve all this. On the contrary, they are like locusts, burning and looting wherever they go, destroying them all with the utmost bloody and cruel means. As a result, the poor people became poorer, and the oppressors of them took up butcher's knives more fiercely and slaughtered them wantonly.

The Yellow Turbans violently destroyed out of hatred, destroying not only themselves, but also their enemies, and even more so this unjust world.

The slogan of the Yellow Turban Army is called "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand". But now the sky is dying, and Huang Tian is dying. In the end, it was the innocent people and thousands of untouchables who bore the consequences of this destruction.

Is the Yellow Turbans doing the right thing? And it is indeed right. It has taken revenge, it has vented its hatred, it has taken revenge on the unjust God. Is it wrong? It is indeed wrong. All its gains are based on the suffering of millions of people, on the lives and blood and tears of innocent people, and together with the enemy, it has pushed countless people into a darkness that is even more catastrophic, a darkness with no end.

The Yellow Turban Army has been preparing for more than ten years and has been planning for a long time, why is there no way to improve the lives of the people through violence, but only a means to destroy everything through violence? The three Zhang Jiao brothers are not ordinary people, they are all outstanding in intelligence and force, why didn't they think of this step? Or did you think of it but didn't have time to do it?

Probably the enemy was too ruthless and didn't give them time and a chance at all. Think about the fact that Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and others killed more than 100,000 of them in Yuzhou and Jingzhou, and his own Han Xiaocai general was even more ruthless, annihilating their army of more than 600,000 and killing more than 100,000 of them.

Think about Qiao Mao's resolute and stubborn face, that deep-rooted and unshakable thought, and think about how many powerful bureaucrats and gatekeepers like Qiao Mao are in the world. Ren Huangturban's army has three heads and six arms, and he only has the ability to parry, and he has no power to fight back.

Li Yi suddenly felt that he had no ability to change all this in front of him. Millions of people in the Yellow Turban Army are powerless to shake this unjust sky, what can they do? He is a speck of dust in the world, a speck of dust that disappears with the wind, a speck of dust that is small and has no effect.

Whether it is the people, the Yellow Turban Army, the bureaucrats of the world, or the Han Kingdom, how much does it have to do with themselves?

Li Yi was suddenly disheartened and no longer had any thoughts.

"Lord ......"

The shout woke Li Yi up, and he retracted his mind from his contemplation and looked at Tian Feng.

"My lord, Ganling City has been controlled by us. The Yellow Turban Army Qu Shuai Bai Que surrendered, more than 2,000 Yellow Turban Army soldiers were captured, and the rest took advantage of the chaos to escape. ”

"How are we losing?" Li Yi asked eagerly.

"There are no losses." Tian Feng gave Li Yi a thumbs up in admiration and said with a smile, "The lord is clever, we took the entire Ganling City without hurting a single soldier." Fighting behind the lord, I found that I really didn't need to be a military advisor. ”

Li Yi pushed his hand away, hugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Brother Yuan Hao, don't praise me first, discuss one thing with you, do you think it's okay?" ”

Tian Feng looked at him vigilantly, touched his three locks of long beard, and asked, "You say." ”

Li Yi said four words: "Open the warehouse and release grain." ”

Tian Feng groaned for a long time. He looked at the refugees outside the city and said in embarrassment: "My lord, if you run out of food, how can you solve the salary and supplies of the army?" General Huangfu Song and Liu Yuanjun knew that you had conquered the Ganling Kingdom and captured the Ganling City, and they must have thought that we had captured a large amount of the Yellow Turban Army's booty. In the case of the financial constraints of Plains County, I am afraid that he will not allocate any more salaries and food to us. ”

Li Yi asked strangely: "Is it wrong for me to release grain for disaster relief?" Why didn't he give me pay and food? Pingyuan County doesn't have it, can he ask the court and the Son of Heaven? ”

"Lord......" Tian Feng broke away from his hand, faced him, and said solemnly, "The situation is different now, whether it is Pingyuan County or the imperial court, the finances are very tight. Because of the war, whether it is the Yellow Turban Army or us, the consumption of materials has increased exponentially. Do you know how much a grain is worth now? ”

"So what do they do? Watching them starve to death? Li Yi pointed to the refugees under the city and yelled.

"My lord, we can cook a little gruel every day to relieve them, just like the Yellow Turban Army. That's all there is to it. Tian Feng knew Li Yi's temperament, although Li Yi lost his temper, he didn't care and insisted on his principles. He is now the military advisor of the Youzhou Army, and he has to be responsible for some things.

"Somebody will starve to death." Li Yi shouted.

"Without an army, more people will starve to death, you know?" Tian Feng said, "And when they are full, they will immediately join the Yellow Turban Army to fight us." ”

Li Yi scolded: "Fart, labor and management have taken in millions of people in Youzhou, and more than 200,000 of them are even soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, and I haven't seen them go back to fight labor and management when they are full!" Not to mention that there are all the old people, women and children below, how many strong men are there? Open the warehouse and release the grain. ”

Tian Feng was anxious, grabbed him, and said loudly: "Lord, if you do this in Youzhou, it doesn't mean that you won't have an accident if you do it in Jizhou." Before the lord of Youzhou raised troops, the government was completely paralyzed, and there were no powerful men in Youzhou, so you can cover the sky with one hand. But Jizhou is different, there are many powerful lords here, even after the war and the massacre of the Yellow Turban Army, there are still many more. If you do this, someone will immediately write to the court, accusing you of sympathizing with the Yellow Turbans, or even colluding with the Yellow Turbans. Now when the imperial court encounters this kind of thing, it generally doesn't ask about it, and catches it first. ”

Li Yi was furious, raised his hand and roared: "I will release grain, who dares to arrest me!" ”

Then he turned back to Tian Yu who was following behind him and said loudly: "Guorang, order the army, open the warehouse and release grain!" ”
