38. It is better to die than to live (Part 2)

"What are you going to do? Don't come here. Don't kill me. Don't kill me. Otherwise, Master Qian will definitely let you die... Even if you kill me, you can't leave. You will only die.

One piece...ah!!!"

"Thank you very much for sending us so much important news before you died. You are such a good person... It's a pity..."

"Although Brother Xianmou's main profession is a strategist and the subordinate's main profession is a mere Taoist priest, our secondary professions are all martial artists. A group of yellow scarf thieves also want to capture us. They are really wishful thinking.

of."

"This is the Yellow Turban Army. Most of them are just short-sighted people. They also have different orders and everyone strives for profit. Therefore, although they can influence the direction of a city, a county, a place, a state or even a country, in the end they can only

It’s just an influence.”

"However, there are also people like Li Shushi and Zhang Feiyan who have taken advantage of the situation, especially the former..."

"Okay, okay, I know you are very interested in that person, just like that happy Guo Fengxiao who doesn't know where he is."

"Speaking of which, since you are so sure of Fengxiao's ability, why don't you keep him? If that person chooses to join Mingzhu, I'm afraid he will become Yuan Gong's biggest enemy in the future no matter what. You often say this

Yeah."

"Why don't you talk about your direct clan brother? I respect him no less than Fengxiao."

"...Since there is Guo Fengxiao, why bother mentioning Xun Wenruo again? Is there any difference between the two?"

"That's right, maybe the only difference is that if two people serve the same lord, then the resistance to my father's great cause will be far beyond what two people serve for two different lords. Indeed, this is the only difference.

That’s all.”

"And what's your answer?"

"How could you not guess what I'm thinking, my dear friend~"

"Is it because you are afraid that 'the cunning rabbit dies and the lackeys cook it; the flying birds disappear and the good bow hides'? Or maybe you need more time?"

"Haha, anyone who knows me is Bin Ruo! So I'd better go and see if that Gongsun Qushuai is dead or alive."

After that, Yuan Fang turned around and left this bloody land, leaving only his companion behind him looking at him thoughtfully, but this gaze did not last long, Xun Binruo

A happy smile appeared on his face.

It should be said that coming early is worse than coming by chance. Although Yuan Fang had already guessed from the introduction of the fisherman and some of the information they had previously obtained, not only did the Yellow Turban Army have multiple factions within it, but the relationships between the factions were also very close. Complex, even

It is not unusual for internal strife to break out, but he did not expect that he would be so "lucky" that this long-brewing incident would happen when the two of them came to this area.

Not long ago.

"Haha, I frightened the two distinguished guests, and also made you laugh. Gongsun Mo was not strict with his subordinates, and he underestimated the brotherhood in the past, which resulted in the embarrassment today. The two of you are worthy of being named Yuan

It is natural for the elites whom the governor relies on to rebel against the party.

Needless to say, it has also opened our eyes to the people in the mountains and fields like us. But although we are slightly weaker, we still admire the king. As long as Yuan Taishou does not dislike us for being rude and guilty, we will naturally be willing to do so.

Let’s do our best for Governor Yuan’s great cause.”

Not long after Yuan Fang and his two men followed the mountain trend towards the only peak on the island, they saw another group of people coming out of the forest, with a "greeting" that was more distinctive than the group of armored ones just now.

"Team", this team of about 300 people is also physically strong, but everyone has a

His body was injured, his clothes and armor were damaged, and his body was stained with blood. Mixed with the black ash rendered by gunpowder smoke, he looked quite embarrassed. It can be said that if the strong blood energy and murderous aura in his body did not reveal a high enough fighting spirit, most people would not see it.

This group of people thought they were a group of defeated soldiers who were fleeing.

Gongsun Mo appeared in front of the two of them surrounded by such a group of people.

Commander Qu, who nominally commands all the Yellow Turban troops in the vicinity, looks no better than his soldiers at this moment.

Half of the face was burnt black with smoke and fire, and half of the face was covered with scarlet blood. From time to time, sweat flowed from the top of the head, through the cheeks to the chin, mixing the embarrassing color into an even more embarrassing color. The earth-yellow turban on the head should have been worn by the wearer.

headscarf such as

I don’t know where I flew to now, leaving only the messy disheveled hair scattered around my face, and it can also be clearly seen that the hair near the left shoulder is obviously much shorter than other places. It is obviously an accident.

"Poisonous Hand".

Although there are not many scars on the copper armor on the body, the thick blood plasma has a distinct layering. It is not known how many enemies the owner of the armor killed before the armor became like this. There are some on the waist.

He was wearing a dagger. Although there was a slight dark red color on the blade, there was no trace of blood. Although it was a lower-grade dagger, it was still a bit dark red.

From a technical point of view, it can be regarded as a fine product. However, such a sword is now exposed, and the scabbard used to protect it has disappeared somewhere, or was lost in battle, or was used.

It was damaged to block the enemy's attack. No matter what the situation was, you can imagine how critical the situation was for the owner of this dagger.

However, even with such a embarrassed look, the smile on Gongsun Mo's face was still clearly expressed even through a thick layer of "makeup". Obviously, this man was not disturbed by this internal strife.

How sad he felt, or perhaps he felt that having such a legitimate opportunity to solve internal hidden dangers was a rare and good opportunity.

From these small details, combined with the other party's previous actions, Yuan Fang felt that the other party may not be that powerful in terms of ability, but he is also a country tycoon who can get quite nourished in this troubled world.

Of course, the premise is that the opponent does not provoke too cruel opponents, or that he does not become an abandoned piece in the hands of those chess players.

The previous assumption may not be difficult to make based on the other party's shrewdness. After all, even if you don't know that there is such a classic "If you don't seek death, you will not die", but being wise and protecting oneself can still be done for people who have experienced the crazy era of the Yellow Turban Uprising.

Those who survived have a special understanding. In fact, if they did not have such an understanding, the other party would not take the initiative to contact the Yuan family. You must know that the other party is within the sphere of influence of Gongsun Zan, even at sea.

in this way.

But for the latter possibility, all Yuan Fang can do is smile bitterly. After all, does even his existence have the same meaning in the eyes of his nominal father? But compared to what he sees in front of him,

This ordinary remnant of the Yellow Turban Army, Qu Shuai, his existence may be worth a little bit, but only a little bit.

When order is not in your favor, you will naturally fight hard or complain about its injustice. However, when the power of order is in your own hands and used for your own use, the original complaints and struggles will become stubborn guardians of order.

.

It is very easy to say the name of reform, but if there is no personal pain or even the crisis of destruction, how many people will be willing to go on the unknown journey. Therefore, the reformers in history were either forced to change, or

There are indeed people with visions far beyond those of the world, but most of them have become lunatics in the eyes of the world. Only a small minority can enjoy the praise of the world, and most of this small group of people have received

The praise still comes after their death.

Those who benefited from the reform will naturally not be stingy with their pale praise. Anyway, they are not reformers, and they do not need to bear the pressure of making one mistake and being doomed. They are the new stubborn guardians of the order, guarding the new order for generations.

A generation, finally heading towards the end of the old reincarnation and the beginning of the new reincarnation, starting the new unknown journey and adventure.

Maybe Yuan Fang can't see such distant and misty things, but as smart as he is, his insight into people's hearts naturally has his own uniqueness, even if it's just some small movements and expressions, even if he can't be like those modern people who specialize in "micro-expressions"

He understands everything in detail like a detective or scientist, but it is enough for him to brainstorm enough information. Then he combines what he has seen with his own eyes with what he has heard before to form a great analysis report.

Of course, most of these things only belong to him and will be kept secret from others, even his father.

"So, does Gongsun Qushuai need to take a rest? If it takes three to five days to clean up the troops and clean up the mess, I, Yuan Fang, still have the power to be the master of the Marquis of Zhongxiang. But if it exceeds this time, I'm afraid it will be between me and

The Marquis of Qiuxiang is willing to give your department time. Things on the front line have changed three times a day. Regardless of whether the outcome is good or bad, it is not a good thing for Commander Qu."

Yuan Fang did not ask about the background of the group of people who greeted them before. Anyway, it was enough to know that they were the people who hindered their cooperation, so he simply skipped this paragraph and got to the point.

"How dare you let Prefect Yuan worry about such a trivial matter of a certain family, so that your distinguished guests can rest assured? Three or five days are already too long. At most, a certain family can mobilize tens of thousands of troops in the next few days, whether it is to attack Youbeiping level

It was only an instruction from Governor Yuan that Gongsun Zan's retreat route, or heading to the Bohai Sea to communicate with Governor Yuan from afar, was just an order from Governor Yuan. Even if Gongsun Zan is braver than Xiang Li, I, Gongsun Mo, can also be like Peng Yue."

Gongsun Mo naturally understood what Yuan Fang meant: If he dilly-dallyed for too long, no matter whether Yuan Shao won or lost, there would be no good results for him. If Yuan Shao won, then he would not have contributed any effort.

Naturally, he would not have any merit, so he wanted to get rid of Yuan Shao by getting on the line.

Naturally, the dream of getting rid of his current embarrassing status cannot be realized. And if Yuan Shao is unfortunately defeated, then in order to add trouble to Gongsun Zan, he will naturally throw out his forces that are close to Gongsun Zan's lair. Not only can it add trouble to Gongsun Zan, but also

Gongsun Zan was forced to divide his troops to solve this huge hidden danger.

Although Gongsun Mo and Gongsun Zan both have the surname Gongsun, just as Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Du are not a family, there is no biological relationship between Gongsun Mo and Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Mo is from Taishan County, and his ancestors are from the Spring and Autumn Period.

Gongsun Ding, the sharpshooter of the Wei Kingdom - not only was he good at shooting, but he also taught

He gave birth to many outstanding apprentices and disciples. Later, because of his apprenticeship, he was hired by the State of Qi to teach archery and achieved considerable achievements in the State of Qi. The people of Taishan County are fierce and are especially good at archery, so such an archery expert

Recognizing outstanding people as ancestors can indeed be regarded as a good and affordable leg.

In fact, even if Gongsun Mo recognized the same ancestor as Gongsun Zan, I am afraid that Gongsun Zan would never let him go. After all, Gongsun Mo's background is actually not small, but his background is much higher than that of Cao Cao.

It's even worse to be "eunuch and ugly" - his father was Gongsun Ju who rebelled in Taishan County, and his brother was Gongsun Du, a famous thief in Taishan County.

It's a pity that the father was killed by the "butcher" Duan Jiong who was at the height of his power at that time. No one was left crying for his father and calling for his mother. Only his brother who was still very young at the time and he had to wander around incognito and escape. Later,

His elder brother gradually grew up and became a force that cannot be underestimated in Taishan. He once worked with the third governor of Yanzhou

The five kinds also had Taishan prefect Yuan Kang who opposed him many times. Although he later surrendered, he soon became free and happy because of the "help" of eunuchs such as Hou Lan and Shan Chao. There was even an attempt to intercept and kill Yuan Kang.

Although he finally retreated voluntarily, he undoubtedly left a very bad impression in the eyes of some scholars.

Although Gongsun Mo is not as famous as his elder brother, he has read a little more than his elder brother. Naturally, his horizons are no longer limited to the "little" Taishan County, so he joined the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.

And gradually grew into a leader, and even

In order to obtain better development, he took advantage of Zhang Jiao's opportunity to go north to enter Youzhou, and then he became the commander of Fangququ by virtue of his war against foreigners. It can be said that before the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army, Gongsun Mo really stepped down step by step.

It can be called shrewd and steady.

It's a pity that the speed of the Yellow Turban Army's defeat still left Commander Qu, who was preparing for a big fight in Youzhou, dumbfounded. If he hadn't fled early when he saw that the situation was not going well, perhaps his army would have become the already prestigious Gongsun Zan.

And the sacrifices of his subordinate Baima Yicong, and they are freshly baked.

Even though Gongsun Zan has lost a lot of his elite troops, he still does not take the combat effectiveness of Gongsun Mo's troops seriously.

This is also the reason why Gongsun Mo would rather contact Yuan Shao who is far away in Jizhou than go to Gongsun Zan who is close to him.

"In this case, we will wait here for the good news from Gongsun Qushuai. As long as Gongsun Qushuai can send troops as promised, not only will the aid promised by the Marquis of Zhongxiang be delivered in full, but also the Marquis of Zhongxiang will also

I would like to commend you as the "Zhechong Xiaowei", so that you and your men can also be called dignified officers and soldiers. If Gongsun Qushuai can make great achievements, the Marquis of Tongxiang cannot

For those who are stingy, the governor of western Liaoning only believes that Gongsun Qushuai is still capable enough. Lu Ziqian is willing to let the governor of Yunzhong let Zhang Yan's "Black Mountain Army" guard the border for several years, but the Marquis of Tongxiang will only give more and not

Be stingy about your reward. Of course, the premise is that Gongsun Qushuai can let Marquis Tongxiang find a reason for the reward, and I also believe that Qushuai has this ability, right?"

"Although the son of a certain family cannot compare with the elite of Yuan Prefect's command, he is also a man who has experienced hundreds of battles. Now that he has such an outstanding person as the young master to help him, I think that Gongsun Zan is destined to endure hardship even if he has thousands of abilities.

head."

Naturally, Yuan Fang would not be fooled by Commander Qu's boastful words, and the other party's so-called "help" would definitely not be to give Yuan Fang his troops to squander. Even if the other party really gave him

Even if the composition of his army is complex, Yuan Fang cannot completely solve it in just a few days, let alone knead those stragglers in his eyes into a more disciplined and combat-effective team.

But this does not mean that Yuan Fang really has no idea about this force. After all, compared with Yuan Shao's almost complete military force that has been divided by various forces, this lonely overseas force

Although Gu Jun is also not stable internally, it is less stable than the complicated situation under Yuan Shao's command.

His strength can be said to be as pure as water. If Yuan Fang had no ambitions, most of his tasks would have been completed. However, a certain fire in Yuan Fang's heart had gradually evolved into a prairie fire under the stimulation of certain things.

The trend, no matter how small the mosquito is, its meat is so urgently needed for Yuan Fang today.

However, even if you are as smart as Yuan Fang, sometimes you still have to suffer from the "sinkhole" caused by information asymmetry...

"You guys...Gongsun Qushuai, are you sure these are the 'Elites of All Battles' under your command!"

Although he had already anticipated the possible scene, when Yuan Fang and his friends really saw the "truth" hidden deep in the island, he still felt something like being hidden by tens of thousands of people.

An alpaca walks through the sorrow in my heart.

Looking around, although it cannot be said that everywhere he saw was mourning, it was still far beyond Yuan Fang's previous expectations - perhaps this Yellow Turban Army did have tens of thousands of troops, but most of them were

They are just skinny hungry people. Not only are their bodies weak due to malnutrition, but more importantly, in their eyes

Their eyes were full of numbness and confusion. It is conceivable that when such "soldiers" go to the battlefield, even if they have experienced hundreds of battles and have excellent personal attributes, even if their current bodies will not drag down their attributes, they can still fight.

The time is probably less than the most incompetent Barbarian Saber which can only be raised for five seconds.

After that? Then there is a group of large, unrecyclable garbage that is a bit wasteful even if you use weapons to bleed one by one.

"They were all good men once."

It is precisely the heroes who have maintained a certain level of combat effectiveness, not to mention their bravery in the past. If there were not thousands of them, probably because of the centralized supply, I am afraid that this Gongsun Qushuai has long lost the qualifications to stand here and speak, let alone

Now you can also control those coastal fishing villages and use them as springboards to obtain various supplies needed on the island.

Yuan Fang suddenly felt that maybe it wasn't because he didn't work hard, but because God always liked to play some jokes on him that he couldn't accept.
