"I have heard that the great disasters in the world are not external, but occur internally.
Therefore, when Yu and Shun succeeded to the throne, they first eliminated the four evils, and then appointed the sixteen prime ministers to show that if the evil people did not go away, the good people would have no way to come in.
Nowadays, the Yellow Turbans are gradually falling, and rebellions are breaking out in the Northland. They all occur internally, and then the chaos spreads to the whole world.
I was ordered by General Huangfu to lead the troops to attack them. Although the Sanfu rebellion was large in scale, it was not of concern to the court.
What I am worried about is that we do not control the water from the source, so that the downstream flow becomes wider and wider.
The emperor is benevolent and tolerant, but he is merciless in punishing bad people.
Therefore, eunuchs exercise great power, and loyal ministers cannot enter or influence them.
This is just like ice cubes and charcoal cannot be placed in the same container.
They know that the merits of loyal ministers are remarkable, and the day of their peril will come.
Eunuchs can only use sweet words, create hypocrisy, and deceive the saints!
I have known since childhood that a loyal minister serves the monarch, just like a filial son serves his parents.
How can a son not serve his father wholeheartedly?
The disaster of the Yellow Turbans is due to the eunuchs, and the chaos in the north is due to the eunuchs. I risk my life and ask for the death of the ten permanent servants! To thank you and comfort the world!"
In Ji County, Hanyang County, more than ten thousand Xiongnu and Qiang soldiers outside the city roared fiercely, their weapons smashed into the ground, and dust suddenly flew up. Their wolf-like eyes were fixed on the city wall, their fangs wide open, ready to attack at any time.
Fu Xie sealed the envelope and handed it to his thirteen-year-old son Fu Qian, stroking his son's thin cheeks with both hands.
"As a Han official, I will die as a Han soul! Give this letter to General Huangfu!"
"Father! The emperor is fatuous, the eunuchs are in power, and my father cannot be tolerated by the court.
Now that Liangzhou has been controlled by the rebels, we cannot resist.
It is better to accept the Qiang people's suggestion and return to their hometown for the time being before recruiting warriors.
How about we wait until we regain our strength and think about saving the world?"
Fu Qian burst into tears, he knew! The tens of thousands of Huns outside would surely massacre the city after they broke through!
My father will certainly not be spared!
"Don't do it! Stop acting like a child! Go with Gongming to find General Huangfu! Save the only bloodline for my Fu family!"
After Fu Xie finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Xu Huang, and Xu Huang quickly supported Fu Xie with tears in his eyes.
"My son, do you know why I must die here today?"
Fu Qian was hugged by Xu Huang and struggled to get away. He cried and shook his head.
"Father! I don't want you to die! General Xu, can you help me take my father with me?"
"Idiot! Keep in mind that "the festival of Shengda is the festival of honor". King Zhou of Shang Dynasty was so cruel that even Boyi died on hunger strike for him. Confucius praised Boyi as a wise man.
Now the imperial court is not as cruel as King Zhou of Shang. Can my moral character surpass Boyi?
Troubled times cannot cultivate righteous people!
My family has been eating Han's salary for generations. If we don't think about serving the country, how are we different from animals?
My son has been smart since he was a child, and he will definitely shine in the future, my son! Live well..."
Before he finished speaking, Fu Qian was so choked up that he couldn't say a word anymore and passed out.
Xu Huang looked at Fu Xie complicatedly. Although his eyes were full of tears, he half-kneeled to Fu Xie with his hands clasped in fists.
"My lord, you are so magnificent! I will protect you to the death!"
"Death is not scary! If I can wake up your majesty, I am not afraid of death! Gongming, you are a good general, and General Huangfu is a famous general in the world. If you stay by his side, you will be famous in the world one day! Let's go, Gongming, take care!"
"grown ups!"
With tears in his eyes, Xu Huang kowtowed to Fu Xie three times, turned around, picked up the unconscious Fu Qian, and left.
"Report! Sir, Huang Yan, the prefect of Jiuquan, requests to enter the city!"
"Huang Yan? Let him in!"
"Here!"
Fu Xie tightened his collar and watched Xu Huang and Fu Qian disappear outside the wall from the window, then turned and walked towards the county government hall.
Fu Xie sat on the throne, wearing black armor, and the soldiers guarding the city were lined up on the left and right.
The white hair revealed in the black color makes this man in his thirties look a little older.
"Nanrong! Are you okay?"
Outside the hall, a man walked over calmly and looked at Fu Xie with eyes full of nostalgia!
"What are you doing here?"
Fu Xie didn't look into his eyes. After spending nearly ten years together, he knew very well who Huang Yan was.
"Persuading you to surrender! The county town can no longer be defended! How about leaving Nan Rong behind?"
"Qiang..."
A crisp sound came, and Huang Yan's eyes became panicked.
Fu Xie pulled out his sword and pointed it directly at Huang Yan.
"Thankfully, you were once an official of the imperial court, but instead you became a lobbyist for the rebels?"
"Nan Rong! Listen to my advice! The Han Dynasty is fatuous, and the eunuchs and relatives are colluding with each other! Don't you remember how you came to Hanyang?"
"Let's go! Do you still remember what Chen Zigong once said?"
Huang Yan looked at Fu Xie and shook his head.
"This moment is not that moment! Why are you so stubborn?"
"I won't kill you! I'll spare your lives! I'll let you live to see how my Han army can destroy you, a group of sellers seeking glory!"
Seeing that he could not do anything, Huang Yan bowed deeply to Fu Xie, turned around and left.
"After the city is broken! Because you are a Han, spare the people!"
Huang Yan paused, turned to look at Fu Xie again, and nodded heavily!
"Complete the army! Gather at the front door! Fight to the death!"
Huang Yan left. He entered the county seat alone and left the county seat alone.
When he returned to the army, he told the generals about Fu Xie's last request, and all the generals looked at the city wall with respectful eyes.
"Squeak...squeak...click...click..."
Half an hour passed, the county gate opened, and a group of Han generals came out one after another, and soon formed a formation.
Fu Xie rides a horse and stands at the front of the team!
"Brothers! We were born in troubled times. We don't seek to be successful, but we seek to be shrouded in horse leather! Be a great man for me!"
"Those who openly offend me as a strong man!"
"Even if you are far away, you will be killed!"
"Even if you are far away, you will be killed!"
"Even if you are far away, you will be killed!"
"kill……"
As the soldiers finished speaking, Fu Xie gave an order, and the horses began to run towards the alien race. Dust billowed behind them. None of the eight hundred soldiers fell behind, and they rushed forward!
The Huns and Qiang people also took up arms, and they looked at the charging warriors with admiration.
Death in battle is the highest courtesy to them!
"kill……"
Following the order from the general behind them, they raised their weapons and charged towards the Han army, howling loudly.
Pungent dust filled the air, and the vast land made a deafening sound.
The mighty foreign cavalry stepped on the rumbling hoofs, and the two armies collided...
"Puff...Puff..."
The sound spread throughout the battlefield. It was the sound of weapons piercing the body, which meant that every time the weapon was pierced, a soldier fell.
The sound of horse hooves rumbled in his ears, there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him, and Fu Xie was already red-eyed.
The horses under his crotches had long since disappeared, and the soldiers in the first, second, and third rows in front of Fu Xie fell one after another.
The military flags were rolled up, people were on their backs, and soldiers on both sides were dying and being wounded.
After a long time, Fu Xie found that there was no one around him, only himself was left to chop around mechanically.
The sword had already been curled, and Fu Xie had just used his last strength to smash a foreigner to death.
The ground under your feet has been stained red with blood, and corpses are placed everywhere...
"Nanrong! Surrender!"
Huang Yan walked out of the alien race again, looking at the man with tears in his eyes as he waved the sword helplessly.
"Sir! Surrender! I beg you!"
A Qiang man knelt down.
Since Fu Xie was demoted to Hanyang, a place dominated by Qiang people, Fu Xie was considerate of the people and did many good things for the Qiang people.
The Qiang people all see this in their eyes and remember it in their hearts.
"Sir! Surrender..."
Another Qiang man knelt down...
"grown ups!"
"grown ups……"
More and more Qiang people are kneeling around Fu Xie, them!
I can't do it anymore!
"Sir! I am willing to send you back to your hometown! Just surrender..."
Fu Xie's blood-red eyes looked at the densely packed aliens around him and smiled!
"I, who was born as a human being, lived as a human being, and died as a country, shall I rest here forever!"
Fu Xie's dry voice was already hoarse and he picked up a long knife from his feet.
"If there is an afterlife! When I regain control of the Han flag, the sun and the moon will shine on all Han lands..."
"grown ups……"
"grown ups……"
Huang Yan turned around without saying a word, the tears in his eyes had long been blurred.
This is the end of the last loyal minister of the fatuous Han Emperor!
