All of a sudden, the border was full of smoke.

When Gao Zhi led the army back to Bingzhou, the border area of ​​Bingzhou was already in chaos.

There are fleeing civilians everywhere, with big and small bags on their backs heading south.

???????? The farmland that should have been full of crops is now full of weeds, and the surroundings look terribly desolate.

"Wow!" Gao Zhi reined in his horse and ordered the whole army to slow down.

The fine riders behind him were ordered to forbid, the pack horses carried dry food bags, and the war horses wore girdles with beans around their necks, long knives, horse lances, and horn bows.

The White Horse Yicong at the front, because it is a comprehensive cavalry, is equipped with lightweight half horse armor and lightweight iron leather armor.At the same time, it has the functions of shock cavalry and cavalry archers.

??Their white mounts are Dawanliang horses that are hard to buy, the best West Pole horses and wild horses from the grasslands, and the best war horses obtained through artificial breeding.The general height is more than eight feet, and some are more than nine feet tall, and the weight is more than eight hundred catties.Both speed and endurance.

The armor pieces of the horse armor are all made of refined steel and worn with the toughest cowhide.The hem is decorated with white tassels, and the ponytail parasite (the name of the horse armor accessory) is also painted white.The armor equipped by the cavalry is also the same as the horse armor.Plumes, scarves and cloaks, quiveres... white is also suitable.

The reason for this is that in addition to General White Horse's morbid pursuit of "white", there is another point that such a uniform color scheme can bring greater fear and deterrence to the enemy.It's like the story of "in full swing" when Wu and Yue fought for hegemony.

Before that, the main opponents and enemies of Baima Yicong were the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuhuan, Ding Ling on the grassland...

Now, Gao Zhi also intends to "borrow" their experience.

In dealing with foreigners, the horse lance riding a white horse can easily penetrate the enemy's body.Regardless of whether it is wearing armor or not.

???????? Leather, rough iron and outdated copper.Ma Li, who has excellent armor-piercing ability, is treated equally.No matter how well you protect yourself, you will not be spared!

"Is the situation already like this?" Gao Zhi's eyes flickered, and he sighed softly as he looked at the people rushing to flee.

Cruel and ruthless world!

Those people who lost their fields, were poor, were forced to sell their children and daughters, and became slaves.

???????? They work like cattle and horses throughout the year.But I can't eat a full meal.

The farmers who plowed the fields ate the chaff, the women who raised silkworms and weaved brocade were dressed in rags, and the children who could not afford it were abandoned and drowned.In a famine year, people will die.

The slightest natural disaster and man-made disaster will cause a large number of dead people.

???????? Those gentry ministers who guard the fertile land and luxurious houses feel sorry for them.

???????? They are willing to write one or two poems of pity for farmers and shed one or two worthless tears.Then what to do.

Prosperity, people suffering, death, people suffering!

Soldiers are fierce and dangerous.

After a military disaster, it is impossible to say that there will be an epidemic, but after the plague, there will be a famine.

After the large-scale abandonment, because the water conservancy facilities are left unattended, it is impossible to say that there will be another flood.

The rivers of this era are completely different from those of the future, and some are natural rivers.Some artificial canals use rammed earth.Not only is the problem of water seepage serious, but also silt is formed due to sediment.

???????? In the case of no one to clean up, the originally well-functioning water conservancy facilities will gradually be blocked and eventually abandoned.

And because no one digs the soil, the eggs will not be frozen to death, and locust plagues may occur.

???????? Such a vicious circle of disasters will eventually drain the vitality of this country and this nation.It was not until the people on the ground were almost dead that another cycle began.

Although it was not the first time he had seen such a scene, Gao Zhi still trembled in his heart when he saw the remnant scene in front of him.

?? His thoughts, to put it mildly, are unbearable.

???????? Just like what Mencius said, a gentleman is like a beast. Seeing its life, he cannot bear to see its death; hearing its sound, he cannot bear to eat its flesh.Therefore, a gentleman is far away from the kitchen.

???????? Even animals can show mercy, let alone humans.

However, on the battlefield, there is no room for cowardice.

If you want to stop the tragedy in front of you, you can only stop killing with killing!

Thinking of this, Gao Zhi reconfirmed this point.

I must mercilessly kill everyone who must die, a large number of people who may or may not deserve to die.Most of them are people who make Gao Zhi feel heartbroken, people who don't deserve to die at all.

He must wrap his soft heart with cold steel.Add blades and rams.

The power of the Han Dynasty is exhausted, and corrupt officials and powerful families all over the world are like wolves and tigers, leading beasts to eat people.

The majesty of the Han Dynasty disappeared.The sanctity and authority of the Son of Heaven fell to the ground like a rag, and was trampled on at will—even in the center of the empire, the capital, Chang'an, and even the whole world.

At this time, he must be firm, since the foreign race wants to invade, then fight it!

Everything you guard can only be defended with your own hands!

Of course, Gao Zhi will not fight blindly.

All the time-travelers in the past often think that relying on the historical knowledge beyond this era is equivalent to opening a cheating tool, and they can be invincible. They often look down on the ancients, and regard those ancient soy sauce parties and those losers as negative IQs. joke.

In fact, those who really dare to do this will sooner or later become a joke of others.

We look at the history 2000 years ago from the perspective of a bystander, because we already know the answer, so everyone is like Zhuge Shensuan, but if we put all this aside and put us on the same starting line as the ancients, May I ask?If ordinary people like us lived in the Eastern Han Dynasty, would we be able to set off a monstrous storm of hundreds of thousands of people like Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Uprising?Or can he become a powerful party who ruled the four states like Yuan Shao?

I'm afraid not only can't we do what these two losers did, but we can't even get along with a small role like an ordinary general, right?

In Gao Zhi's heart, there is a sense of awe, and he values ​​every enemy!

Miaoshuwu

890 Two, This Is the Troubled Times

With a little emotion, Gao Zhi and his party rode on the vicissitudes of the land and continued to move forward in the direction of Bingzhou.

Along the way, whether it was Gao Zhi himself, Sima Lang who had just joined, or those elite knights who had experienced many battles, all of them looked a little sad.

Along the way, the sights encountered and seen along the way are really miserable!

It can be said that it is absolutely not an exaggeration to say that the anger of the sky and the grievances of the people are absolutely not an exaggeration. The people along the way are mourning everywhere. Under the scattered and indulgent military discipline, the Wuhuan and Xianbei troops treat these people like wild animals.

The wailing sounds of burning, killing and looting reverberated in my mind, and among them were countless disheveled women who were brutally brutalized by the Xiliang army. In the end, the thin and cold corpse lay on the hard ground, as if anyone who saw it could vaguely recall Those eyes were full of ashes and helpless as if they were relieved.

Countless corpses were densely packed on the ground, and the bright red blood flowed continuously like a stream. The clothes on their bodies were covered with dust, and their grim gray pupils seemed to have witnessed a brutal and inhuman fight.

There were corpses and wild bones everywhere along the way, and the tragic scene was even more shocking. For a moment, shock and anger echoed in Gao Zhi's mind.

Gao Zhi's expression changed, and with a wave of his palm, the army behind him stopped quickly.

At this time, everyone under the setting sun, facing the red afterglow of the setting sun, felt a warmth coming from the armor, but their hearts were cold.
