Three Kingdoms: Summon the Heroic Soul Yue Fei at the beginning

Chapter 172
Chapter 172
"Prefect, Zilong is just doing his best as a minister."

Zhao Yun's meaning is very obvious, that is, I am just a part-time worker, and I have no control over what happens to my boss.

"Zilong, there is an old saying that a good person chooses a child's play, and a good minister chooses the master."

Zhao Yun is a smart person and naturally knows what Ye Xiao means.

"Prefect, Zilong will not betray the Lord."

"Zilong, I don't mean to make you betray Gongsun Zan. I'm just telling you that Gongsun Zan's demise will happen sooner or later, and you can come over at any time."

Hearing what Ye Xiao said, Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, Ye Xiao looked at Zhao Yun who was in a daze, stepped forward and said.

"Zilong, let me ask you why you joined the army?"

"Then why did the general get into trouble?"

Ye Xiao smiled when he heard Zhao Yun's rhetorical question.

"At first, I rebelled solely because my home was being harassed by the Yellow Turban Army. I just wanted to resist the Yellow Turban Army, but as time went by, my concept changed."

"I remember being excited when I fought off the Yellow Turbans for the first time, because I had the power to protect my family, but when I went out of the city, I saw people lying on the streets crying."

"Some of them cried because they didn't have enough to eat, and some cried because their children were killed by the Yellow Turban Army."

What Ye Xiao said, Zhao Yun was noncommittal, all of this was what he had experienced before, Zhao Yun was in the same situation as these people, but Zhao Yun thought of saving himself, went to worship Tong Yuan as his master, and learned martial arts, and most of these people They all choose to accept their fate.

"The people are suffering, and I feel distressed, but I found that very few people are willing to fight against the Yellow Turban Army. They are like a herd of sheep. Can you imagine that a Yellow Turban Army can engulf hundreds of people?"

"The common people live on, and the Shenzhou sinks, but the eunuchs and the family in the court are constantly fighting for their interests, regardless of the life and death of the common people."

"After the Shichangshi Rebellion, I thought the world was at peace, but when Dong Zhuo came to Beijing, the Eighteenth Princes put the world at risk in order to fight for territory."

Ye Xiao said that he became excited here, Zhao Yun looked at the excited Ye Xiao and said.

"That's true. All the princes of the Eighteenth Route have their own ulterior motives. They sent troops not to help the Han Dynasty, but to fight for territory."

Ye Xiao said as he walked towards the map of the big man on the wall, and then Ye Xiao pointed to the map of the big man and said.

"Yes, so from that moment I understood a truth, internal strife and aristocratic families are the root of troubled times."

When Zhao Yun heard this, he also followed Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao saw Zhao Yun walking over and continued talking.

"The aristocratic family is easy to handle, just kill a few and eliminate them slowly, but how to deal with internal fighting?"

"Endless internal strife can only cause internal consumption of the big man, and finally give these alien races a chance to go south."

Ye Xiao became excited when he said this, at this time Ye Xiao thought of the chaotic days in the future, the darkest days in the land of China.

"There are so many county guards in foreign races, how dare they go south?"

Zhao Yun had dealt with quite a few Huns when he followed Gongsun Zan, so he naturally knew a lot about the alien race. In his eyes, the alien race was just a bag of experience.

"Zilong, would you believe me if I told you that one day the world would be unified?"

Hearing what Ye Xiao said, Zhao Yun nodded. Zhao Yun still agrees that the world will be divided for a long time and will be united for a long time.

"However, if the aristocratic family is not eliminated, and the path of ordinary people's ascension is blocked by the aristocratic family, then these aristocratic families will fight for their own interests. I dare say that if the aristocratic family is not eliminated, then after the death of the person who unified the world, the world will not live for a hundred years." There will be chaos again."

This point is what Ye Xiao said with the help of the future history of the Sima family.

"If so, wouldn't the foreign race take the opportunity to go south?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yun also understood what Ye Xiao meant. The Xiongnu had been thinking about going south since the Qin Dynasty, and they didn't belong to the Han Dynasty until Emperor Wu of the Han subdued him.

However, because Emperor Guangwu allowed foreign races to move inward, Emperor Guangwu originally had a good plan to let these big Hans of foreign races guard the frontier, but he ignored that every dynasty had its downfall.

When the great man fell, these alien races would take the opportunity to unite and attack the great man, just like they besieged Liu Bang on Baideng Mountain a hundred years ago.

"Yes, and these alien races will treat us more cruelly than the Yellow Turban Army. At that time, the entire Han Dynasty and even the entire mainland of China will face an unprecedented crisis."

"Zilong, as a man with a body of seven feet, he should defend his family and the country, and protect the people he wants to protect."

"Okay, Zilong is coming soon, you should also rest, and you will attack Chang'an tomorrow."

After Ye Xiao finished speaking, he turned and left.

"To protect the person you want to protect?"

Zhao Yun muttered softly as he watched Ye Xiao's disappearing figure.

The next day, when Ye Xiao got up to prepare breakfast, suddenly a scout rushed in.

"My lord, Tongguan Jinyiwei urgently reports!"

Ye Xiao took the urgent report and opened it to read.

"Hahaha, okay, okay, pass on the order, the siege of the city will be suspended today, and I'm going back to Tongguan."

After speaking, Ye Xiao left Chang'an City and headed towards Tongguan.

The first thing Ye Xiao did when he came to Tongguan was to go to the south of the city.

It turned out that Ye Xiao learned from the information in the morning that the ratio of gunpowder had been researched.

Ye Xiao gave the alchemist the promised formula of Prolonging Life and Longevity Pill to the alchemist and asked Jin Yiwei's people to send the alchemist away. Although the alchemist left, all his whereabouts from then on were firmly under the control of Jin Yiwei.

Ye Xiao looked at the formulas given to him by those alchemists, and hurriedly asked people to match a few doses of gunpowder.

After the proportioning was done, Ye Xiao started experimenting and found that the effect was not very good, so Ye Xiao picked up the gunpowder to observe.

"It seems that gunpowder granulation is still necessary, but these should be enough for now."

After speaking, Ye Xiao sent someone to take a box of well-proportioned gunpowder and set off for the city of Chang'an.

At this time, Chang'an had long since run out of food due to years of war, and Guo Si was about to run out of food and ammunition.

On the other hand, the sergeants on Ye Xiao's side were eating delicious noodle cakes and fat pork, and the aroma of the food wafted into Chang'an City.

The soldiers on the top of the city looked at the food in their hands and instantly felt that the food in their hands was not tasty.

"Hey, you said it was also a war. Do we eat human food?"

"Okay, brother, don't complain, eat it and you can still be full now, but you almost ate it, and there will be nothing to eat in a few days."

"Brother, how do you know?"

"A fellow of mine is a military quartermaster. He told me during a chat a few days ago that the food in this city is only enough for a few days, unless the lord is willing to take out the food in his mansion."

The two soldiers shook their heads helplessly, looked at the food in their hands, thinking that it was a day's ration, they had no choice but to fantasize about the food of Ye Xiao's soldier on the opposite side, pinching their noses and eating the food in their hands.
