The World of Yellow Sky

"Although people's hearts are unpredictable, since Sun Jian started his army, he has always respected the Son of Heaven, and never surpassed him in the slightest."

"Bingwei entered Luo, the first thing to do after regaining the capital was to repair the Taimiao, repair the tombs, and seal the palace and the city."

"Even if Luoyang got the seal, it was also dedicated to the emperor."

Gai Xun's spirit has improved a bit, now he can stand up and even walk slowly while supporting Huangfusong's hand.

"Ordered by the sky...that is, longevity and prosperity..."

"If Sun Jian really had a different heart at that time, I'm afraid it's the world..."

Gai Xun didn't finish his sentence, but Huangfusong knew what Gai Xun was going to say.

At the beginning, Sun Jian was under his tent as a general, and he knew what kind of person Sun Jian was.

Although times have changed and people's hearts are unpredictable, Sun Jian has always done everything a Hanchen should do, without the slightest overstepping.

Hundreds of thousands of Kwantung coalition forces stopped in Huai County and Suanzao, the coalition forces were newly defeated, and when the world was silent, only Sun Jian was still fighting.

Beiping Yellow Turban, Nandang bandits, crusade against Dong Zhuo...

It's just that in the past Dong Zhuo messed up the capital and wanted to abolish the emperor.

At that time, Yuan Shao confronted Dong Zhuo in the hall when all the officials were silent, drew his sword and angrily denounced Dong Zhuo for his atrocities.

Yuan Shao at that time was also dedicated to serving the country and impassioned.

It's just that now, it is a separatist party, calling itself the emperor, and has already become a traitor.

People's hearts are unpredictable, and people's hearts are fickle.

"The general confers the battle axe in the early spring, and receives the merits in the late winter. The soldiers move like gods, and there is no plan..."

"...All the heroes in the world follow, and all the people in the world love him. Such achievements are comparable to Qi Wang Han Xin."

"...the general's power is far greater than Han Xin's, and the prestige of the world is unmatched. As long as you raise your troops, you can win the world..."

After the battle in Xiaquyang, Yan Zhong stood still in front of him and said these words to him.

If you say you are not moved, then it is absolutely false.

At that time, Huangfu Song was indeed influenced by Bei Yanzhong's words, if it wasn't for the entry of the last angel Liang Sheng, perhaps...

There are so many people in this world, how many people can resist the temptation of those eight characters?

"Ordered by heaven, you will live forever!"

This matter has been deeply buried in Huangfu Song's heart.

Sometimes, many things, involuntary.

Huangfusong believed that Sun Jian might not think that way, but it was hard to say what the subordinates under his command thought in their hearts.

"If it wasn't for Yizhen's persuasion, I really don't want to be a Yuzhou shepherd."

Gai Xun let out a long sigh.

"The original intention was to help Wentai, but I didn't expect to harm Wentai now... Sigh..."

Sun Jian's reputation was too high, which caused concern among others in the court.

Although Huangfusong and Gai Xun had been in Chendu Chaotang for a short time, they could tell.

It is true that Sun Jian controlled several states, and almost all the generals of the Han army obeyed Sun Jian. Sun Jian's prestige in the Han army now is even greater than that of Huangfusong when he quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the past.

Gai Xun had been unwilling to compete for the post of Yuzhou Shepherd before, and the reason why he agreed to take the post was also because of Huangfusong's persuasion.

Huangfusong and Sun Jian passed the letter, and Huangfusong got a general understanding of Sun Jian's thoughts by insinuating, so he persuaded Gai Xun to take over as Yuzhou Mu.

When everyone was worried about Sun Jian's disobedience, Sun Jian was also worried about his own situation.

Now his reputation is too high, so that the merits are so high that the master is shocked.

Birds are gone, good bows are hidden, cunning rabbits are dead, and lackeys are cooking.

For a long period of time, Sun Jian has been in charge of the defense, and the task of offense has been handed over to other generals, such as Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others, so that they can gain fame and expand the results of the battle.

Although Liu Xieyan said at the beginning that the monarch and his ministers are equal and never listen to slander, gossip is sometimes worse than swords and guns, killing people invisible.

"Yizhen, I wrote a letter a few days ago and put it under my pillow. After I die, you will open it. There are my words of defense for Sun Jian."

Gai Xun walked out of the Nuan Pavilion with Huangfusong's support.

In mid-November, it was still autumn, but the temperature in Chendu was terribly low.

There are not many leaves left on the trees in the courtyard, which looks like a dilapidated scene.

Gai Xun tightened the cloak on his body, the cold wind in the courtyard made him feel a bit chilly, but it also made his altar more clear.

"Heaven and earth are turning back and forth, fire desires..."

"The building will fall, and there will be no tree to support."

Looking at the dilapidated trees in the courtyard, Gai Xun muttered a prophecy from the Taiping Road.

"The building is about to fall, and there is no way to support a single tree. Now that the Han Dynasty can be revived, and it still has such power, Yizhen, you know the reason."

"Now the Han Dynasty can have such a structure, to a large extent, it depends on the support of Sun Jian alone. The building will collapse, and there will be no way to support it. The country needs more help."

Gai Xun grinned and said with a smile.

"Yizhen, do you know why Yuan Shu is willing to live behind Sun Jian?"

Huangfu Song shook his head slightly, he didn't know the inside story.

It's just that the current Yuan Shu is not the Yuan Shu he was familiar with in the past. Now Yuan Shu can't find even a trace of the former son of a family who was so dissolute.

"In the battle of Yangren City, Sun Jian went out to face the Xiliang army. Hu Zhen's entire army was defeated, and the captain of the cavalry, Zhao Cen, was beheaded by Sun Jian himself. Just when Sun Jian was about to take advantage of the situation to march into the two passes and attack Luoyang in the north, the food and grass failed. But the supply is cut off..."

"...Sun Jian drove hundreds of miles at night, and drove all the way, knocked down Yuan Shu's mansion in the middle of the night..."

Gai Xun's eyes flickered, he brewed his emotions, and then slowly said what Sun Jian had said.

"Dong Zhuo and I used to be generals in the same account, so there was no enmity at all. Now I risk my own life, risking arrows and stones, and come to fight to the death of the warriors. On the one hand, I seek thieves for the country, and on the other hand, I want to avenge the murder of the general's family..."

Gai Xun sighed lightly.

"Although Taiping Dao is called an evil way, I agree with what their Taoist master Xu An said."

Huangfusong's expression changed, but he did not stop Gai Xun's words.

"Those who hold salaries for everyone should not let them freeze to death in the wind and snow..."

"Sun Jian used to be a general under your tent, and you are also Sun Jian's former master. You must not let those who are loyal to serve the country be chilled, and make the treacherous villains rampant."

A stern look flashed in Gai Xun's eyes, and his voice was slightly cold.

He stood still, he no longer needed Huangfusong's support anymore.

The former Gai Xun Gai Yuangu who pleaded for the people, was impassioned in the court, and dared to bluntly state the fault of the emperor seems to have completely recovered his former style.

The cold wind was blowing, but it didn't make Gai Xun feel the slightest cold. He stepped forward and walked towards the dead tree in the courtyard that didn't have many leaves left.

"Wei army has just been defeated. Now is the best time for our army to make a northern expedition. If Sun Jian has no choice but to return to Chendu in order to prove his innocence, then our army will miss the opportunity and lose the opportunity to take over Qingzhou."

"Once the opportunity is lost, it will be even more difficult to get it back. Taiping Dao now occupies the land of the four states, and there are tens of millions of people under its command. All the good things will come to naught..."

Gai Xun stopped walking and stroked the bare tree trunk with his hands.

"In a flash, more than eight years have passed..."

"Now Liangzhou is occupied by Taiping Road..."

Gai Xun said helplessly.

"I was born in Liangzhou, but I can't die in Liangzhou, and I can't return my soul to my hometown. It's a great pity."

Huangfusong was silent for a while, Gai Xun could not return to Liangzhou, how could he return to Liangzhou.

"When Liangzhou is recovered, Yizhen must remember to move my grave back to his hometown."

Gai Xun smiled lightly, and his back, which had been straighter before, bent down again.

Gai Xun sat down slowly, sitting in front of the dead tree.

"I really miss the scenery of Dunhuang..."

The look in Gai Xun's eyes slowly dimmed, his eyes slowly returned to cloudy, and his voice was barely heard.

The grass is low and the fog in Jincheng is low, and the wind in Yumen is under the trees.

The scenery of Dunhuang in his memory, old friends and peers at home reappeared in front of his eyes.

The autumn wind blew past slowly, as if he couldn't bear to make Gai Xun feel too cold, but gently brushed over Gai Xun's body, dancing lightly around him.

On the dead tree, the last remaining leaf slowly fell.

The autumn wind moved gently, and the leaves slowly fell towards Gai Xun.

But before it landed on Gai Xun, a hand had already grabbed the withered yellow leaf in mid-air.

Huangfusong held the fallen leaves tightly and said nothing.

The old people withered one after another, like leaves falling in the wind.

Their era will soon be over...

Chapter 721 Dongming's Oath

On the streets of Chendu, a convoy was advancing rapidly.

The sound of rapid horseshoes and rolling wheels echoed continuously on the street, and the pedestrians along the road had already been dispersed by the leading Habayashi riders.

Liu Xie was sitting on the blue-covered car, with a serious expression on his face, and kept looking out of the car.

The surroundings of the car were full of Habayashi cavalry with white feathers in their helmets and robes and belts. The destination they were going to was Gai Xun's mansion.

Liu Xie knew the inside story. When Dong Zhuo was in chaos in Beijing, Gai Xun and Huang Fusong planned to attack Luoyang and expel Dong Zhuo.

And now is the time when the turmoil is on the cusp. Although Liu Xie is the emperor, he is still young after all, and many times he doesn't know how to deal with the fierce advice from the officials.

Liu Xie didn't want the post of Yuzhou Mu to fall to anyone other than Sun Jian or Gai Xun, and Liu Xie was hesitant to replace Sun Jian as Yuzhou Mu.

The Han Dynasty was able to rejuvenate, and now occupies the five states of Yu, Yang, Yan, Xu, and Jingzhou, more than half of which are due to Sun Jian's achievements.

Except for Jingzhou, which belonged to the imperial court after Liu Biao's unification, Yuzhou was still stable, and the other three states were all stabilized or captured by Sun Jian's troops.

With the increase of age and knowledge, Liu Xie can understand more about Sun Jian's difficulties.

Sun Jian was the Marquis of Wucheng at the beginning, and when the Kwantung Allied Forces were formed, he also raised troops to respond. He led troops from Jingnan all the way to King Qin. He was originally stationed in Jingnan. Later, Liu Biao rode down to Jingzhou and gained control of the entire Jingzhou.

Sun Jian and Liu Biao were supposed to be incompatible, but after Liu Biao joined, Sun Jian did not say anything else, nor did he impeach or target Liu Biao, nor did he abolish public affairs for personal reasons.

But Liu Xie was really worried that Sun Jian's reputation in the army was too high, and he was in charge of the soldiers in Yanxu and Xuzhou, and his soldiers were very powerful.

If Sun Jian succeeded in the Northern Expedition and destroyed Wei Ting, then Sun Jian is now a marquis of ten thousand households, and how to reward him as the general who conquered the North.

There is no promotion to be promoted, no reward to be rewarded, and Sun Jian will inevitably be pushed to the cusp of the storm.

Sun Jian can believe it, but who knows what the generals under Sun Jian's command think?

What do Cheng Pu, Zhu Zhi, Sun Ce, and Sun Ben think? Do they have the heart of disobedience?

At this time, Liu Xie realized that he was really too young at the beginning, and he didn't know how to deal with it in many places.

The reward given to Sun Jian was really too high and too heavy.

The reward should be lowered a little, so it won't come to this point.

It's a pity that it was too late when Liu Xie was able to realize that the edict originally issued could not be withdrawn, and it was a done deal and could not be restored.

Huangfusong had previously advised that temporarily letting Sun Jian step down as the Yuzhou pastor would actually relieve the pressure on Sun Jian.

Moreover, it would be inappropriate for a general in charge of the army abroad to receive a state pastor, especially in the current situation where the power of the state pastor is so high, so Liu Xie agreed to this proposal.

Liu Xie was thinking about it when he suddenly felt the car under him stop slowly.

A burst of panic hit Liu Xie's heart, and when the car stopped, the panic in Liu Xie's heart reached the maximum, as if something terrible had happened.

"nation?!"

Liu Xie suddenly opened the curtain of the car, and the servants driving the horses were startled by Liu Xie's sudden action.

Before the convoy, Wang Yue had already landed from his horse and was walking towards the direction of the car.

Liu Xie flickered, and he asked Wang Yue to wait in Gai Xun's mansion first to check Gai Xun's condition.
