Chapter 3087 Death
Heluo, Tongguan.
Yang Xiu slowly walked by the Cao Jun camp.
The expression was calm.
The sound of soldiers and armor sounded by a team of Cao's soldiers passing by was like the background music accompanied by his walking.
Although in the army, Yang Xiu was still dressed in blue, neatly dressed and spotlessly clean.
Only Yang Xiu's boots were stained with a lot of soil.
This is also impossible. In the military camp, it is impossible to say that there is a bluestone road for Yang Xiu to walk on? The mud road that many soldiers trampled through was bumpy and bumpy. It is dry now, but it is just some dust and yellow earth. If it encounters rain and snow, it will be like a pile of mud.
Several soldiers followed Yang Xiu immediately, as if they were protecting and more like surveillance.
Yang Xiu walked back to his tent, sat down, straightened his clothes, then gently lifted his hands and pressed them in the void, as if an invisible piano was placed in front of him, and he was playing a beautiful music.
Yang Xiu was smart since he was a child and stood out among the peers early on. Whether among the Yang clan or in Heluo, his research on Confucianism and his exploration of Confucianism were at the forefront. At the same time, he not only made progress in his knowledge, but also had his own unique features in music, painting, and poetry.
He is genius and once shining brightly. He is an idol of all young people. Although he has not created any scenes of throwing fruits and brimming with cars, it cannot be denied that he was once a high-ranking yamen of almost the same level as Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. Ordinary people cannot contact him at all, like a god...
However, now he has fallen into the mud.
Perhaps only in such a small tent can Yang Xiu gain peace without being disturbed for a moment.
The Yang servant stood quietly in a corner of the tent, looking at Yang Xiu respectfully and admiringly. The old man is their heaven, and the young man is the one who inherited this heaven. As for the emperor, it has nothing to do with them. Their heaven is the old man and young man of the Yang man.
A play in void stopped and Yang Xiu opened his eyes.
The servant stepped forward and bowed slightly, "Young man."
Yang Xiu was silent for a moment, then said: "I... I'm afraid I'm going to live long..."
...
...
Xiliang, Jiuquan.
It seems like endless soldiers and horses spreading in front of you, filling every corner of your vision.
Countless swords and guns.
Countless flags.
The armor and the coldness of steel are combined with the flesh and blood of the people.
On the high platform ahead, there was only Fei Qian.
Under the platform, there were big families and big families who came one after another these days, and the leaders of Hu, who were hunched their necks one by one, as if they were tied under the stage by invisible ropes.
The iron cavalry of thousands of people was in front of them, and the breaths they exhaled seemed to cause a storm.
The cold wind whistled by, but what made these big families feel cold all over their bodies was definitely not the wind.
Many ordinary people in Xiliang are honest, but these big families are not in the ranks of honest people. They are all smart and cunning people. After seeing all of this in front of them, some things emerge from their hearts, like cold claws that grab their hearts and hold them hard, causing them to feel pain but cannot scream.
Duan Wei stood in the queue below the stage, feeling goose bumps all over his body accompanied by chills, rolling up from his heels and penetrated straight into his head. All the messy thoughts disappeared when facing these soldiers and horses. They just saw the soldiers and horses showing their majestic postures under the platform and doing various military exercises.
The smoke and dust rolled like a dragon.
People and horses gallop like tigers.
The flags are roaring, and the clouds are swaying and tumbling.
Duan Wei looked up and said, the man on the stage was standing in the sunshine, bathing in the light. It seemed dazzling, and it seemed a little dazzling, making him unable to open his eyes and unable to see clearly. The words he talked about when he met with the man two days ago rolled in his mind, like waves of huge waves, sweeping across, irresistible, slapped Duan Wei on the beach.
On the day when Jiuquan was in chaos, many big families were still very ignorant, and Zhang Liao cleaned up Jiuquan very quickly, which made some people end before they could feel any changes.
And now the large-scale military exercises during the day are different...
Weapons, armor, and roars.
In this moment, it seems that no matter whether it is wind, frost, rain and snow, as long as the person on the platform has a command, the iron beast in front of him will pounce on him and tear it to pieces!
The thunderous sound of horse hooves made the big families, including Duan Wei, tremble with their feet.
I don’t know if it was because of the passive vibration caused by the horse’s hooves, or whether the feet were trembling spontaneously...
...
...
Hedong, Pi County.
Sima Yi stood under the tricolor flag, and in front of him, a fort was struggling in the fire.
"Those who plot against rebels should be punished!"
Sima Fu shouted excitedly, as if he wanted to transfer his pain to others.
Above the high wall of the fort, an old man with white hair roared at Sima and others angrily, his face full of anger and his eyes full of anger.
And within the fort, not far away, some people holding armed bows were surrounded and killed by soldiers.
Although those who hold swords and sticks are burly and powerful, they cannot cause too much waves under the layers of encirclement of soldiers...
Blood splattered everywhere.
"This is our land! Our manor!" Someone cried, "You robbers! Executioner!"
Sima Yi turned his head slightly and looked at the man who was escorted to the ground and still scolded him.
『Your land?』
Sima Yi sneered and asked.
"Someone settled here a hundred years ago..." The man struggled, as if he wanted to argue with Sima Yi.
『Ah...a hundred years...』 Sima Yi shook his head, 『It's been a hundred years, can't he raise a smart person? Just behead him...』
A cold light flashed and the head fell to the ground.
"Why can the incompetent person survive in the world?"
Sima Yi looked up and seemed to be the most beautiful thing that attracted his attention the most. As for the other noisy sounds, Sima Yi seemed to care about it at all...
『Brother,』 Sima Fu was obviously stimulated by his blood and came over with some excitement,『The roster has been checked, everything has been done...』
The word "doing" means that more than a hundred people have landed.
Men, women, young and old, are all spared.
Sima Yi nodded, suddenly remembered something, and laughed twice.
"Why are brother laughing?" Sima Fu asked, wiping the blood on the knife.
"I remembered that in the school, some stupid people said that we Han people were cruel and easy to kill, while the Hu people were still kind... The reason was that Han people would kill three tribes at every turn, while Hu people could leave women and children, and those who were not taller than the wheel would not be killed... Hahaha...
"There are such stupid words!" Sima Fu shook his head and smiled, "I guess such a stupid person must have been deposed from the academy!"
Sima Yi nodded.
During the first period of the academy, due to the inconsistent thoughts, uncertain textbooks, and the erosion of some contents of the ignorant people in Shandong scriptures, the Shoushan Academy also had a period of ideological chaos.
During this chaos period, there were such remarks, saying that the Han people killed and plotted against each other, and the extermination of the clan was too cruel. When the Hu people killed people, they knew that children who were not above the wheel height would stay and not kill them. Why couldn't the Han people follow suit?
The person who asked this question was scolded by a group of people. The key is that this person is unwilling to correct his ideas and stubbornly thinks that he is right, and eventually becomes a laughing stock in the school.
If we simply look at the scene of killing, the Hu people did not kill women and children, leaving behind rules that do not kill children who are above the wheel height. But the problem is that the Hu people did not all abide by this rule, especially when they went south to plunder the Han area, they did not know a lot of the killed infants and young children. Moreover, when most Hu people caught Han women who were raising infants, they would immediately kill babies who were still in the nurturing period as soon as possible, with almost no exception.
The reason is very simple. In the concept of Hu people, if these babies are killed, then these arrested Han women can be reborn quickly...
The children born next are naturally the bloodline of the Hu people.
As for the rules that do not kill more than the wheels, most of them only occur during the tribal battle between the Hu people.
This phenomenon is still not the "mercy" of the Hu people, but the Hu people's living habits, productivity and production conditions, which have nothing to do with kindness or not.
The Hu people do not kill women and children because the Hu people regard women and children as property and as items equivalent to cattle, sheep and livestock. Moreover, after not killing men who have not exceeded the wheel, they often follow the cutting and distribution of these animals, and regard them as their own cattle and sheep. Survivors not only have to serve their enemies, but also call their enemies the parents and masters. This kind of production and life relationship can only exist in the Hu area where there are not many ethical concepts. After the Han area has been civilized, it is impossible to appear...
Most of the Han people's extermination are similar to what Sima Yi did now. They are because of political factors and they are also the rulers of the upper class. They rarely massacre ordinary people like Hu people. The serfs in the manor and those who have nothing to do with the manor owner will generally not be killed as long as they do not resist or block them.
The Hu people killed Han people, but more ordinary people killed Han people!
Therefore, as a Han Chinese, it is said that the Hu people do not kill women and children is a kind system, which is undoubtedly a betrayal of China's own culture.
Those who betray your own class and are attacked by counterattack, don’t cry and say they are wronged or inhumane.
Just like these Hedong families who colluded with Cao's army and lent to Cao's army...

Yuzhou, Xu County.
Emperor Liu Xie angrily slapped the table, "I treat it with sincerity, why can't I get it for sincerity?"
The yellow door sticks out his butt and is trembling.
"When you discuss politics, you all have your mouth hanging down!" Liu Xie's cheeks were trembling, "If you really want to do practical things, you will be a pushover! I think of my great man, why don't there be a loyal minister or a good general?!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down..." The eunuch of the yellow sect stuck out his butt and his body trembled even more.
『Stop your anger, calm your anger!』 Liu Xie slapped the table, 『You only know this one!』
"Your Majesty... Stop your anger..." The eunuch of the Yellow Sect habitually followed, and then kowtowed, "I... Damn it..."
"It's me who deserves it!" Liu Xie slapped the table, and tears couldn't help but shed, "Everyone in the world wants me to die! Everyone wants me to die! I give them positions, rights, and what they want, and then what they repay me? Deceive me, hide it! Play me like a fool!"
Liu Xie was very angry because he encountered deception again and again.
Lies filled his side, as if filling every corner of Chongde Hall.
Whoever he hopes for will slap him hard...
Zhong Yao tricked him.
Zhong Yao was given a position and promoted to the imperial censor. As Liu Xie hoped, he immediately led people diligently and hard to formulate new Han laws, and then tied up the two ferocious beasts like shackles. Instead, he led a group of people to hold banquets every day, accusing this and criticizing that...
He said that he had not done his job, but Zhong Yao also said that he was trying his best to recruit talents, saying that he had done his job, and that he had drunk and had a high banquet every day, and he would only ask for money and things without any feedback.
Liu Xiecai expressed his dissatisfaction, and Zhong Yao immediately took off his hat, "I am incompetent, I have to let Your Majesty ask..."
Liu Xie hoped that after experiencing these hardships, the Han Kingdom could be reborn in the fire like a phoenix, but it was not clear whether the Han Kingdom could be reborn. He was almost dry by the fire...
"Why? Why?!" Liu Xie patted the table, his voice getting smaller and smaller, and finally collapsed on the throne, "It's all traitors... it's all...
The eunuch of the Yellow Sect was still sticking out his butt, "Your Majesty calmed down...rest...rest...
"Get out!" Liu Xie shouted loudly.
The eunuchs of the Yellow Sect hurriedly got out of Chongde Hall as if they were pardoned.
Liu Xie sat blankly on the throne, like a wooden sculpture.
Liu Xie didn't understand why this was...
The old three-official system of the central government of the Han Dynasty was a Confucian bureaucratic system created by Dong Zhongshu. It was also a knife for Emperor Wu of Han to fight against the relatives, the queen mother, and the old nobles. When this knife killed the marquis and the marquis, it became a little uncomfortable.
Emperor Wu of Han thought that he was a talented person, and could use the people of the world as a cow and horse, and drive them at will, but he did not expect that no matter how powerful he was, he would be like an ant in front of time. When he was aging, the knife began to backfire.
Emperor Wu of Han thought that killing the crown prince was equivalent to killing the last group of old nobles who resisted him, but what he did not expect was that it was he who cut off the foundation of the royal family, and from then on the corpses of the royal family, swallowing flesh and blood, becoming a tumor parasitized on the dynasty.
Everything needs balance, and once the balance is broken, it is almost a dream to return to its original state.
Now that Liu Xie wants the bureaucrats to deal with the bureaucrats, he is just like appointing corrupt officials to investigate and deal with corrupt officials. From the beginning, he is destined to have no good results.
But Liu Xie has always been unable to figure it out and thinks that the person he found is wrong...
Most people who can't figure it out will never figure it out.

Heluo, Tongguan.
Yang Xiu slowly bounced the dust on his body, but looked at the mud stained on his boots and sighed, "Cao's strategy to attack Hedong may have failed... Cao Zilian's son was deeply trapped in Hedong, and there was no news. I'm afraid there were many unexpected things... Xiahou Miaocai invaded Wangwu Mountain, lost contact, and was unknown... Prime Minister Cao stopped under Tongguan and could not make any progress...
The confidant servant whispered: "What is this... what is the connection between these and the young man?"
『Guanzhong is like the jade of He family, only those who are virtuous can live there.』 Yang Xiu whispered, 『I still haven't controlled my greed...I hate him...so I hope he can fall down and fall on the mud...I can look down at him and look at him, and then I can get rid of the demon in my heart...but now...』
"If Prime Minister Cao fails to attack Guanzhong," Yang Xiu smiled, then smiled a little bit and became stiff, and finally seemed to be frozen on his face. "I must find someone who will bear the responsibility for failure... Who would it be suitable?"
"Is it the Cao family, Xiahou family, or who else?"
"For example...it's like me?"
Yang Xiu smiled.
But his smile was a little bleak.
The confidant servant said anxiously: "This...how is this related to the young man? It's obviously them..."
Yang Xiu's eyes were quiet: "Do you think they care about the truth? They just need to have an explanation...and I am not big or small, just right..."
Is the Hongnong Yang family a young man who is a leader who is strong may be more threatening, or is it more terrifying to be an old man who is in a state of incompetence?
The Yang family, mixed with the two major strengths, has no future.
If Cao Cao wins, the Yang family still has hope, but once Cao Cao fails...
Now, Yang Xiu could not see the hope of Cao Cao's victory, and the best result was to lose both sides.
Then, Yang is destined to be unlucky.
Who made Yang Xiu come up with a "damn" plan?
The tradition of the Han people always gives more pity for the lonely, widowed, young and old. So once Yang Xiu dies, it is just Yang Xiu dies personally, but instead protects the Yang family. On the surface, the Yang family lacks a young heir and has no development in the next few decades, but in fact, it can truly lie down and wait for subsequent opportunities.
Of course, if you become Yuan Shang like this, you can live in a cage and be admired by others.
But Yang Xiu's self-esteem did not allow him to live like a livestock.
"Young Lord..." The confidant servant glanced out, "Or... let's run away..."
Yang Xiu sneered, "Escape? Where can I escape?"
At first, when Cao's army rushed over and captured Luoyang in a moment, Yang Xiu thought that such a powerful force would be unstoppable even if the cavalry was strong, and it might even be a loss. At that time, Yang had the opportunity to mediate, but during this period in Tongguan, he found that he was wrong.
Although the number of soldiers in the Cao army was large, they were large and useless. There were great differences between soldiers. There were not only elite soldiers, but most of them were ordinary soldiers, with thin bodies and simple armor. Such soldiers had no problem dealing with the princes of the Central Plains, but they were in the face of the cavalry...
"Only I'm dead..." Yang Xiu said slowly, his eyes full of desire for life, but also full of pain, "Only if I die, Yang can live..."
"That's it..." Yang Xiu closed his eyes, and began to play the piano in the void with his hands again, "Go and tell my father... If I... encounter an unexpected situation... he can't be too sad, the Yang clan needs him to hold on..."
