The decisive battle between the Han army and the Yellow Turban Army lasted for a whole day and night, and the brutality of the battle was jaw-dropping.

In this battle, the Han army with 20,000 troops fought fiercely against the Yellow Turban Army, which was five times its size.

Lu Zhi defended the boundary bridge with his clan members, while he led the main force to block the Anping Yellow Turbans coming from the north. The two sides fought fiercely in the north of Guangzong City. Lu Zhi was attacked from both sides by the Anping Yellow Turbans in front and the Guangzong Yellow Turbans behind him.

First they defeated the attacking Baique, and then severely damaged the Anping Yellow Turbans, forcing the Anping Yellow Turban Qu Commander Liu Shi to flee to Jing County (20 miles northeast of today's Guangzong County, Hebei Province).

In the direction of the boundary bridge to the west, the two sides fought to the death without retreating. The corpses of their dead were piled up on the banks of the Daqing River, causing the Daqing River to stop flowing.

The boundary bridge defense line was almost captured several times. It was only thanks to the good fighting skills of the clan members that they stabilized the formation and bought time for Lu Zhi to defeat the Anping Yellow Turbans.

Although there were sporadic troops crossing the river through gaps in the Han army's defenses, they were not organized. In general, the main forces of the two Yellow Turban armies in Qinghe and Pingyuan were blocked at the boundary bridge.

In the end, Zhang Rao had no choice but to negotiate with Yu Changgen to continue the attack on the boundary bridge from Qinghe Yellow Turban to attract the attention of the Han army. Zhang Rao led a detour from the north, swam across the river, and then took the official route from Nangong County to Guangzong.

The road went south. Zhang Rao took advantage of the Han army's unpreparedness, successfully crossed the river, and sneaked into Guangzong County, which was regarded as giving support to the Yellow Turban Army in the city.

Of course, this is all for the future. Everyone only thought that they had repelled the two reinforcements of the Yellow Turban Army, and did not know about Zhang Rao's illegal crossing.

Perhaps he knew that there was nothing he could do. The Han army had all been mobilized and no force was left. Lu Zhi really could not send a single soldier to stop Zhang Rao's troops.

Of course, Zhang Jiao, who was in charge of the overall situation in the city, was also shocked by this defeat. He had no intention of fighting anymore and stopped attacking, which was regarded as admitting defeat.

After the war, Cao Ang came to the battlefield alone.

Corpses piled up like mountains on the entire battlefield, and blood flowed into rivers. There were broken limbs and broken arms everywhere, and there were sounds of mournful groans everywhere. Corpses layer by layer covered the hillside, the Daqing River was dyed red, and the entire Guangdong Province

The area around Zongcheng became a sea of ​​blood.

Cao Ang witnessed the horror of war for the first time.

This is different from the tragic situation of the victims. The former highlights the word "tragic", which is shocking, horrific, inhumane, and inhumane. However, the cruelty on the battlefield only made Cao Ang doubt the existence of the word human nature.

Cao Ang is not the Virgin, but faced with this tragic situation, her heart is full of panic and sadness.

"I will never be a hero after all."

For Cao Ang, all the imperial supremacy and beauty were completely obscured by this tragic scene and turned red.

"I'm just an ordinary person."

For Cao Ang, a later generation, scheming, seeking fame, pretentiousness, and manipulating public opinion are simply special skills. Because he has seen too many tricks and scheming, too many marketing stories and publicity cases. So Cao Ang

You can build your reputation and manage your own reputation in a natural and decent manner without any scruples.

Only war was too unfamiliar to Cao Ang, full of imagination and full of unknown fear.

“All the nations have been put to war, and the beacon fires have covered the hills and mountains. Corpses are piled up in the grass and trees, and Kawahara pills are bleeding.

"What country is a happy land? It's safe to live in Panhuan. If you abandon the lofty house, it will collapse and destroy the lungs and liver."

“I can’t stand this kind of scene!”

I don't know when, Lu Zhi appeared behind Cao Ang.

"In my impression, Ang'er is a person who is not afraid of heaven or earth. Even the emperor dares to call him a coward. How could he be frightened by a small battlefield?"

When Cao Ang heard the teacher's voice, he did not turn around to salute. At this moment, he felt that he and the teacher were equal in soul.

"Mencius said, 'The people are the most valuable, the country is the second most important, and the king is the least important.' In my heart, an emperor is not as important as these desolate bones and cold corpses all over the plain."

"Before, Yang Ci and others called Ang'er a 'sage'. I thought it was a bit ridiculous. It was Yang Ci, Yuan Wei and others who had ulterior motives. But today, it seems that I am the real shallow one. Ang'er is so naive.

The place where your heart lives is higher than everyone else."

Cao Ang turned back, looked at Lu Zhi and said, "Teacher, I have always wanted to be a saint, like Saint Kong, with a very utilitarian mind. Do you still think I have a pure heart?"

Lu Zhi pondered for a moment, and then said: "A gentleman does not care about his heart when it comes to his deeds. There are few perfect people in the world when it comes to his heart. Saints also have desires, but what they walk is the great road."

Cao Ang said with some surprise: "Shouldn't the teacher refute my idea of ​​becoming a saint?"

"The Duke of Zhou established the Rites of Zhou, and Confucius passed on Confucianism, which has been passed down from generation to generation. But to this day, why can't the next person to inherit it be Ang'er?"

Cao Ang was speechless after hearing this.

He had forgotten that his teacher was a scholar of ancient Chinese classics. Ancient Chinese classics worshiped Zhou Gong and regarded Confucius as the forefather who "narrates without writing, believes in and loves the ancients." The most important thing is inheritance. Confucius's status is not that high, so he can naturally take over.

Maybe the teacher may not understand his ambition.

But Lu Zhi seemed to understand Cao Ang's thoughts and said: "Don't think that others don't understand you. When I was young, I had the same thoughts as you. I felt that no one in the world understood my ideals and revenge. But later on

Only then did I understand that ambitions are easy to have but difficult to achieve. Everyone is trying their best to achieve things in this world. The emperor has his own difficulties, and the court has its own difficulties. Things in this world are not black and white."

Cao Ang looked at Lu Zhi and said, "Teacher, are you afraid that I will become extreme and do something irrational?"

Lu Zhi didn't speak, but he acquiesced.

Cao Ang said: "Teacher, don't worry, Ang is a rational person and a person full of awe. I will work hard to make the world a better place, but I will not destroy it first in order to make the world a better place. I will not do anything.

Two opening angles."

However, there was something in Cao Ang's heart that he did not say, "I am tired of my false reputation, and I will not be Zhang Jiao."

Seeing Cao Ang's appearance, Lu Zhi was quite relieved. These days, he had long discovered that Cao Ang's mood was not quite right. He wanted to persuade Cao Ang, but he knew that Cao Ang was a very thoughtful person and was worried that the advice would be counterproductive.

Now that Cao Ang can figure it out on his own, he is relieved.

As for Cao Ang's disdain for the emperor, Lu Zhi didn't take it to heart. This era is not yet the era when Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism was prevalent in later generations. They fully abide by the duty of "the emperor, the emperor, and his ministers". There are many people who despise the emperor. Don't go
