0298 Prosperity, the people suffer. Death, the people suffer.
Yu Xian took Guan Hai out of Hulao Pass and headed eastward.
The scourge of war has brought untold pain to countless people.
What Yu Xian saw was a scene of war and chaos.
Before he arrived at Suanzao, where the coalition forces were stationed, Yu Xian found that all the villages along the way were already empty.
He inquired with the survivors, and it turned out that there was a food shortage among the coalition forces. Many soldiers and horses who were far away began to loot the people unscrupulously.
These soldiers and horses, gathered in the name of righteousness, had not even fired an arrow at the Xiliang army, but they had become a nightmare for the people.
Yu Xian thought for a moment and released the girls from the gourd.
Those concubines of Cao Cao were usually fed by Yu Xian at dusk. Today they came out early, and most of them were happy and chattering.
Yu Xian looked at Cao Pi who was tightly held in Bian Ji's hands.
He stretched out his hand to him and said, "Come here, I have something to tell you."
Cao Pi was very young at the moment, so he just held Bian Ji's hand and wouldn't let go.
Yu Xian didn't take it seriously. He said to Cao Pi seriously, "Although you are still a child now, you will have a great future in the future. Now that your father is not around, there are some truths that I have to teach you. I will take you
Let’s take a walk and experience the cruelty of this troubled world together.”
After saying that, Yu Xian said to Bian Ji, "Your child is still young and needs someone to take care of it, so I have to let you go. But as a wife, you can't be alone with a man rashly. I can only trouble you all to come out."
, come with me for a walk."
Cao Pi looked confused after hearing this, not knowing what Yu Xian meant.
He bit his finger and looked up at Bian Ji.
There was unconcealable surprise in Bian Ji's eyes.
Cao Pi was just a concubine. In a family like the Cao family, the status of a child born to a daughter who initiated the family was only slightly higher than that of a domestic slave.
She was overjoyed when she heard that even the dignified imperial masters said that her son would have a great future.
Yu Xian was very polite and polite, and he never had any bad thoughts in these days.
Bian Ji had slowly let down her guard, and she immediately said boldly, "Since the Imperial Master has an order, the little girl will naturally obey it."
Yu Xian nodded and said, "Very good."
in the following days.
Yu Xian took these warblers and swallows around every day. Everywhere Yu Xian went, he would stop and tell Cao Pi some truth.
Some of these things are blocks that have been hidden in Yu Xian's heart for a long time, and some are simply inspired by feelings.
However, these principles are accompanied by deep suffering.
When it prospers, the people suffer. When it dies, the people suffer.
Cao Pi was confused, but he dared to talk to Yu Xian.
Once, Cao Pi asked Yu Xian worriedly.
"When I grow up, will I suffer as much as them?"
Bian Ji looked at Yu Xian carefully, fearing that he would say something unlucky.
Yu Xian curled his lips and said, "They have their misfortunes, and you have yours."
From this day on.
Yu Xian would occasionally stop and leisurely watch the sunrise and sunset with Cao Pi.
Look at the peaceful countryside with smoke curling up from cooking stoves, and the children chasing butterflies and fluttering at fireflies.
Yu Xian said something else to Cao Pi.
"If you become emperor in the future, remember to be kind to the people."
Hearing Yu Xian's words, Bian Ji turned pale with fright. The other singers also looked at the mother and son with strange eyes.
Cao Pi was completely unaware. He asked curiously, "How can I treat them better?"
Yu Xian didn't expect this little guy to remember too much.
He thought for a while and said seriously, "It would be nice to reduce their taxes."
"Oh." Cao Pi responded confusedly.
Then he raised his head and asked, "Then what is the Son of Heaven?"
Yu Xian thought of this strange emperor's hobbies and couldn't help but tease, "The emperor is someone who can eat grapes at will."
Cao Pi's eyes immediately brightened up.
"What are grapes?"
"The grapes are in Gaochang."
…
When Yu Xian was walking around with Cao Pi, the ragtag group of Kwantung Allied Forces had completely collapsed.
Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, had a disagreement with Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun. Liu Dai killed Qiao Mao in a rage and appointed his subordinate Wang Gong as the prefect of Dongjun.
Then, Jiao He, the governor of Qingzhou who enthusiastically came to help, was captured by the Yellow Turban bandits just after he crossed the Yellow River. Not only was the prosperous Qingzhou in ruins, but Jiao He also died of fear after losing consecutive battles.
.
The ambitious Yuan Shao could no longer restrain his greed and appointed his confidant Zang Hong to be the governor of Qingzhou.
And he himself began to plot to seize the territory of Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou.
Another incident is related to Sun Jian, the governor of Yuzhou.
In order to expand his power, Yuan Shao appointed Zhou Ang as the governor of Yuzhou and launched a surprise attack on Sun Jian's frontline base Yangcheng.
Sun Jian's governor of Yuzhou was appointed by Yuan Shu.
This battle can also be regarded as a civil war between the two brothers Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao to expand their sphere of influence.
This battle should have ended with Sun Jian defeating Zhou Ang and marching south to Jingxiang.
Unexpectedly, a small accident happened during this battle.
A man named Gongsun Yue was accidentally killed by Zhou Ang's soldiers.
This man and many of his troops were reinforcements sent by Yuan Shu to Sun Jian.
Gongsun Yue's elder brother was the world-famous White Horse General Gongsun Zan.
Gongsun Yue's death completely angered Gongsun Zan.
Gongsun Zan swore to heaven that he would be at odds with Yuan Shao.
In the northeastern corner of Youzhou, there was another man named Gongsun, who slowly showed his fangs. That was Gongsun Du, the governor of Liaodong County.
The Liaodong governor made no secret of his ambition to cede territory and become king, and took the initiative to conquer Goguryeo and attack Karasuma, expanding the territory of his small kingdom.
…
Yu Xian sent Cao Pi mother and son to Qiao County. By this time, Bian Ji deeply regretted not letting Cao Pi worship Yu Xian as her teacher.
Yu Xian was very open-minded. He felt that the things he taught Cao Pi were much more valuable than his own skills.
Since the two of them are not meant to be together, they should never see each other again.
These singers who sent Cao Cao away.
Yu Xian and Guan Hai trekked to the west again. When they arrived at Chenggao, Yu Xian unexpectedly met Zuoqiu Junyi again.
At this time, Zuoqiu Junyi's face was already full of weather, and his whole person was exhausted and haggard.
I don’t know where the large and small bags of belongings were thrown.
On his back, there was a wooden stick tied tightly.
Yu Xian and Guan Hai looked at each other with evil smiles on their faces.
Guan Hai asked directly, "Could that be the treasure you found?"
Zuoqiu Junyi's lips trembled a few times, with a look of sadness and anger on his face.
"Who is this wicked guy who says there is a treasure underground in Cheng Gao?"
