Liu Bei and his three men gradually walked away with their troops, and the remaining Yellow Turban Army dispersed in a hurry. Almost all of them were gone. At this time, on the wasteland, Li Yuguo dragged away his yellow robe, and he pulled Zhang Bao away. Wearing the armor on his body.
Zhang Bao is wearing a piece of striped armor, which is a kind of Qin armor. It happens to be black, so it can also be worn as clothes.
So Li Yuguo put on folded black armor and carried a big sword on his back. He looked like a knight-errant, which made Li Yuguo feel very proud when he walked.
Although he was said to be free, trouble soon came. Li Huguo was starving to death. The road was filled with victims fleeing from the war. He walked for three days without a horse.
Li Yuguo took out the Sun-Moon Sword and murmured: "Whoosh! Hurry up... fly, whoosh! I hate walking, so flying with a sword is the best..."
He sat down under a tree with sunken cheeks. Apart from drinking water, he had hardly eaten anything in the past three days, and his chest was directly pressed against his back: "I'm so hungry. Even if I don't have any worries now, I will definitely be able to eat up all the dark dishes..."
Touching this belly with his hand made Li Huguo feel very uncomfortable.
"Young man..." A ragged old lady wearing crutches happened to pass by. Because Li Hugo was on the official road, she was very conspicuous. There were many people like Li Hugo.
Nowadays, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, disasters continue, coupled with the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the people are in dire straits. Whether it is a village or a county, almost all of them are empty. Only the big cities are prosperous, and the villages are all victims of this dispute.
"Old lady, please forgive me for not being able to stand up and ask questions." Li Yuguo said with a sad smile. He thought to himself that he would die before leaving the army, right? Before he could deal with the enemy, he starved to death first.
Li Yuguo patted his cheek and shook his head quickly, but his severe hunger left him with no energy at all.
"Take it and eat it, you're still young." The old lady took out a steamed bun. The steamed bun was already a little moldy, but looking at the old lady's appearance, I'm afraid it was one of the few grains the old lady had.
At this time, Li Yuguo was already on the verge of starving to death. He took the steamed bun and swallowed it in a few mouthfuls. He did not expect that a moldy steamed bun could be so delicious.
The old lady laughed at this: "Eat slowly, no one will fight with you. Judging from your appearance, you seem to be a soldier who has returned from the front line?"
"I am a township protector of a township, but our township... was destroyed by the Yellow Turban thieves." Li Hugo said, he could not say that he was a Yellow Turban thieves, otherwise the people here would beat him to death.
Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion was a peasant uprising, in fact the people did not want to see them. Of course, there must be a reason for this uprising. The reason for this uprising is different from the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. The reason for this uprising is The reason is that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han court was corrupt and incompetent. The court had already been filled with chaos due to party strife. The people had no food to eat. Food was the most important thing for the people. It coincided with a drought. There was a severe drought in the world. The court did not handle it well and the people could not survive. , naturally began to revolt.
The people's life was getting worse and worse, and Zhang Jiao felt that the time was ripe. However, unexpectedly, an undercover agent in Beijing was reported, and the uprising was forced to start a month early.
After the uprising, Zhang Jiao didn't know how to win the hearts and minds of the people. Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army attacked cities and territories and robbed everywhere, making the people uneasy.
In contrast, did Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising know how to win the hearts and minds of the people, instead of opposing the old class and uniting with the old class
Zhang Jiao's uprising was quickly suppressed by the army like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising. Under the suppression of the army, Zhang Jiao's army became more powerful and launched attacks in more than 20 counties across the country. The court did not win the first battle, and the morale of the army was low.
Huangfu Song, who was participating in the encirclement and suppression campaign, was trapped by the imperial party and had no choice but to send reinforcements to rescue him. With the joint attack of Huangfu Song and the reinforcements, the imperial army finally achieved a great victory.
. Then the imperial court won one victory after another, and the momentum and morale of the rebel army gradually decreased.
Zhang Jiao was forced to flee to a remote place, waiting for the right time to launch another attack on the Han Dynasty. Then Wancheng was captured by the officers and soldiers, and the Han general Zhu Jun pacified the Wancheng area.
When the Han army was overwhelming, Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, died of illness. Zhang Jiao's death indicated that the uprising in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was coming to an end. This Yellow Turban Uprising, with the death of three generals, announced the end of the Yellow Turban Uprising. destruction.
Therefore, if such a movement does not have the support of the people, it will naturally fall into ruin. Moreover, the insurrectionary army exacts levies everywhere, which is no different from the imperial court, so the people will naturally not support it.
Along the way, Li Yuguo also saw several defeated Yellow Turban thieves being beaten to death by the common people and then hung on trees. This shows that the Yellow Turban thieves are not welcome either.
After he had eaten and drank enough, he entered the group of victims. The people here were all sallow and thin, looking malnourished. Li Huguo, with his gray and earthy face, naturally did not attract much attention.
In today's chaotic situation, down-and-out rural warriors like Li Huguo abound. After all, rural warriors are just an army put together by the common people, and are incomparable with regular government and military forces.
"Old lady, are you alone?" Li Huguo walked beside the old lady, taking great care of this old lady who had given her a meal, and even helped carry her luggage.
The old lady was stunned and sighed: "I have a son and a daughter. The son... went to the battlefield and never came back. As for the daughter... she disappeared while escaping."
The old lady took out a hairpin and said, "This is my daughter's hairpin... But where can I find it in the huge crowd?"
"Old lady, don't worry too much, lucky people have their own destiny, I think the lady will be fine," Li Hugo said.
The old lady smiled and said: "I hope. When we were separated, my daughter took this path. Although the hope is slim, it is still a hope."
"Haha, then I might as well go together." Li Hugo said, "I have nothing to do anyway."
The old lady nodded, feeling very relieved.
The group of refugees arrived near a lake. It was already approaching dusk, and everyone stopped to take a rest. Li Huguo didn't have any luggage. He was covered in stinky sweat because of the long journey, so he couldn't help but wear a pair of underpants and headed towards the lake. Jumped into the lake.
The reason why I was still wearing underpants was because there were many older girls among the refugees, and it was indecent for them to see my body.
The fire was raised, and people crowded together to keep warm. Although the conditions were difficult, the firelight in the darkness seemed to be people's only comfort. However, the firelight not only brought comfort, but also brought danger. After all, the firelight in the darkness , it looks quite eye-catching.
