I am not a counselor, I am trying to survive in the late Han Dynasty

Chapter 25 The Great Teacher
Xu He helped Xu Shu find the only war horse, asked Xu Shu to mount the horse, and then summoned the whole army to move forward. The 300 soldiers of Xu Shu's army walked out of the broken city gate of Linqiu with high spirits, and walked southward with a triumphant song.

Mr. Ai also walked in the team in despair, sobbing softly as he walked, which was in sharp contrast to the high-spirited team around him.

He wants to run away.

But where can I go by running?
The twelfth lunar month of winter is full of dangers. Even if you run out, you will be eaten by wild beasts even if you don't freeze to death. Mr. Ai deeply regrets why he was so blind and had to choose Xu Shu, a shameless person.

Wow, what kind of world is this? Isn’t this bullying an honest person?

Xu Shu was riding on the horse, looking at the dejected Mr. Ai, with a little emotion in his heart at the resolute men around him.

"Ahe, you believe in me so much, but you have never thought about falling into a tight siege and dying without a burial place?

What if I lose my mind and go crazy, so what if I ask you to fight against Zhang Liao? "

In order to keep it as secret as possible, Xu Shu did not tell anyone about his plan.

Borrowing food, borrowing food, but in this day and age, borrowing food must be based on ability. If you don't fight to the death, how can anyone be willing to borrow that little bit of rice?

So even though Xu Shu kept talking about borrowing food, Zhang Liao still willingly lent it, but everyone was ready to fight.

In other words, be prepared to die.

Xu He led Xu Shu's horse forward slowly. When he heard Xu Shu's question, the man turned around and grinned:
"General Xu, have you seen the great sage?"

"Of course not." Xu Shu shook his head and said, "I was still young when the Great Master taught the world, and I had never seen this... this hero."

Xu Shu and his knight-errant brothers despised the great sage Zhang Jiao, believing that he just recruited a group of fools through blind tricks, and then dared to use hoes to plunder everywhere. He was really the source of chaos in the world.

Mr. Ai also despised this Taoist priest who was pretending to be a ghost. He said that such a person could attract thunder and deserve to be struck first.

But the soldiers around Xu Shu were all former Yellow Turbans. When Xu Shu chatted with them, he found that most of them did not believe in Taiping Tao from the beginning. They knew that the so-called Taoist methods were a lie from the beginning, and there were even some Many people are originally Jianghu people, and they are already capable of such deception. Logically speaking, it is impossible for the so-called Taiping Dao to deceive them. Even if they follow Taiping Dao to cause chaos for a while, they will not keep calling him with such reverence when Zhang Jiao is mentioned. A great teacher.

Xu He grinned and said with reverence:
“I saw it once when I was young.

The great wise master left Jizhou and came to our village with several Qushuai to treat the people.

Haha, we saw through his spells as soon as we got started, whether it was water talisman or lightning, they were all bad tricks. Even the swindlers like us who walk around the streets can do it. Qingzhou and Yanzhou are connected in all directions. I haven't seen anything when I was a child?

At that time, when the great virtuous teacher was treating people, I was so childish that I rolled with laughter and said, "What is the use of this thing? How can anyone believe that this thing can really cure people's diseases?" "

Xu He's story was eloquently told, with a smile on his face, but tears already appeared in the corners of his eyes. Xu Shu's heart twitched and he murmured:
"and after?"

Xu Shu's words plunged Xu He into deep memories. He smacked his lips and recalled the scene with a smile:
"The Great Master is nine feet tall and wears a plain robe. He never dislikes the dirty look of his patients. The patients are paralyzed on the ground, their bodies are swollen and full of big holes when pressed. The Great Master just kneels on the ground and lets the patients rest on his knees. , and then fed them talisman water one mouthful at a time.

That talisman water... he cooked it with his own hands from millet. The smell... was so fragrant that I will never forget it in my life. "

Millet! ?
Xu Shu's heart suddenly tugged.

He had only heard that Zhang Jiao used talisman water to treat people's illnesses, but he had never delved into what the talisman water was.

original……

Is it millet?
"That's right... There are still more diseases in this world than poverty."

"Yes."

Xu He leisurely said: "Many people gradually regained their vitality after drinking it, and some people did not drink well and died. The great wise master buried them with tears, and also took people to tell the village chief that he would let him in the future Don't humiliate and exploit us, otherwise Taiping Road will not be easy to mess with.

The chief stood in front of the great virtuous master and nodded obscenely like Mr. Ai. After the great virtuous master left, he said that the demons were taking advantage of stupid people like us. I thought so at the time.

But my mother slapped me in the face and asked me what the great virtuous teacher wanted to use my family for.My family is living in ruins, why are they using us? "

Xu Heping usually didn't talk much and was silly and cheerful all day long. This time he said this in one breath, which shocked Xu Shu.

"With the great virtuous teacher gone, the village chief really didn't dare to bully us. He even built roads and bridges in our village and no longer assigned corvees at will.

We still lived a hard life that day, but we were able to eat well. My mother still had time to sew some new clothes for me, so that I could celebrate the New Year with a solid... solid..."

Xu He stroked his shabby military uniform, and his previously excited voice gradually dropped. He stared at the ground under his feet and mocked himself:

“But after all, this good life is not for poor people like us.

Later, I heard that the great virtuous teacher rebelled and brought the Jizhou Yellow Turban to fight with the imperial court. After that, he was defeated. I was still laughing at those people as fools who were deceived. I was glad that I was not fooled. But when I was feeling lucky, Those people in the countryside are back again.

They, they want us to provide food to fight the Liangzhou thieves. How can we have so much food? If they don't give it, they are colluding with Beigong Boyu. They are colluding with... the Yellow Turban thieves, who want to rebel against the imperial court. "

“They took away all our grain, and some good people in the village offered to lend us money, but for every dollar we borrowed, we had to pay back ten.

In order to survive, we agreed, but... But the good man sold the grain for hundreds of thousands of dollars. I sold everything in the house and borrowed it from house to house, but... my mother still starved to death. She starved to death. In front of me.I...I didn't have money to bury her, so I had to sweep her up with straw and cry in front of her soul. I cried so hard that I fell asleep. When I woke up again, my mother's remains had been bitten to pieces by wild wolves. "

"I raised a hoe and killed a wolf. The blood spattered on my face and was hot. The other wolves were scared away, but the kind man in the village was not afraid.

When they heard that my mother was gone, they came over and asked me to pay back the money. If I didn't pay back, they would beat me to death. Their servants rushed up and pushed me, laughing at me as a thief whose mother was dead.

I didn't know where I had the courage to pick up the hoe and just hit it! "

Speaking of this, Xu He breathed heavily, almost crazy, dancing and saying:
"That great virtuous man was beaten to the point where his head blossomed and he died like maggots.

It was then that I realized that people will die when they are killed!Hahaha, haha, these people are all made of flesh and blood. If I hit them with a hoe, they will die, and they will kneel in front of me and call me sir. "

The expression on Xu He's face became more and more ferocious.

Thinking of what happened back then, the muscles on this strong and simple man's face kept twitching, and he turned his gaze to Xu Shu again, and then he regained a little clarity.

"Later I also joined the Yellow Turbans. Later I was defeated and was organized into the Qingzhou Army. I had to fight for Cao Cao all my life, otherwise I would die.

I thought there was nothing I could do in this life, but at this moment, General Xu saved me..."

"When I was young, I never fought side by side with the great sage and mentor. This is really my regret in this life.

General Xu was the first person to treat me as a human being after the great virtuous master left. I was young and ignorant and did not fight back against the world with the great virtuous master. Now that I am alive, I have to follow General Xu no matter what I do. Fight side by side until death. "

"Even if General Xu takes me to fight Zhang Liao, I will go! Even if I die, I will splash Zhang Liao's blood and use my bones to destroy Zhang Liao's good sword.

I am of low ability and can only do this...

It's just that in these troubled times, there are so many people, and they have to rely on General Xu to save them. General Xu must not die. "

Xu Shu was shocked when he heard Xu He's story.

Although he was born into a poor family, Xu Shu had never suffered such injustice. There was food and money at home for him to study and learn swordsmanship, with the goal of saving the common people.

But when he walked out of the house, he realized that the people in this world were much harder than he imagined.

And only those who have experienced it can appreciate these pains one by one.

Xu Shu looked at the dejected Mr. Ai who was following the team.

Mr. Ai's skin is so fine that he doesn't have a single wrinkle for a man in his 40s, and his hands don't have any calluses. It's obvious that he has lived a very good life after thousands of years.

He rode on many people, had good clothes, beauties, and endless food. Naturally, he looked down on these poor men who even fought for tree bark to eat. Naturally, he thought that he should be able to kill people at will like Cao Cao. Eat meat, drink blood, be embraced by beauty.

joke.

Really a joke.

Xu Shu patted Xu He on the shoulder, wanting to comfort Xu He, saying that he was different from these people.

But as he spoke, he remembered what Mr. Ai had said conclusively that he eventually betrayed Liu Bei in history, joined Cao Cao's army, and finally joined these people.

People always change. Could it be that in history, I eventually became one of these people who regard human life as nothing?
He was stunned for a long time, tried his best to control his expression, and smiled:

"Don't worry, you can't die.

This time I went to see Zhang Liao, really just to borrow food. I said Zhang Liao would be very happy, so he would be happy to lend me the food. "

Xu He hummed, his eyes full of awe, and nodded vigorously.

"We all trust General Xu!"

"I believe you!" Mr. Ai wandered over from a distance, "Why, I heard that there is a place called Chengyang ahead. Are we going the wrong way?"

Xu Shu looked at him like a fool:
"This is Yanzhou, a good place with a large population and fertile land before the world was in chaos. Isn't it unusual to have a city on the way to Dingtao?"

"Then you dare to go?" Mr. Ai was going crazy, "We, we, these few people, are pushing through one city after another along the way, right? We think of ourselves as supermen, right?

Your uncle eats cat and mouse. If he does, call him out immediately. "

Xu Shu nodded and said with a smile:

"What are you in a hurry for - Ah He, I will go to Chengyang tomorrow morning to borrow food. Just say that we are passing by as an excuse to eat. If you don't give it to us, we will be beaten!"
