Elf version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 97: Generals, Soldiers, Soldiers, and Officials

All the northern coalition forces were defeated.

A few days later, the coalition camp located outside Sishui Pass received bad news.

The Mengjin coalition led by Wang Kuang was completely wiped out by Li Ru. The -strong army suffered numerous casualties.

The situation of the Southern Allied Forces is also quite bad. Sun Jian and Liu Biao, the pair of historical...

In short, the relationship between the two is not very good now. The nominal commander of the South Road, the rear general Yuan Shu, did not go at all, which resulted in Liu Biao becoming the de facto commander of the South Road.

However, there were many sailors in Jingzhou, and Sun Jian was required to attack the land battle.

This resulted in the southern coalition forces being unable to advance beyond Danshui, let alone entering Wuguan to shock the Third Assistant.

Of course, the war and emptiness during this period were also noticed by the Huns in the north. In order to challenge Dong, the border defenses in Bingzhou were empty and empty. A small group of Huns cavalry plundered the border areas, leaving no one to control them.

However, this kind of robbery is really just a slight robbery. It belongs to the type of side ball and is a constant test of the Central Plains Dynasty.

Even local officials and governors were too lazy to take care of it.

It doesn't matter if a village under the rule is just plundered, and it doesn't matter if it is regarded as bandits causing chaos. What's more, there are still bandits such as Baibo Yellow Turban and Heishan Yellow Turban in the northern region at this time.

But this scene was being watched by a pair of eyes that could be said to be the most noble of the man.

Her eyes were dark red and bloodshot, her hairpin was missing, and her black hair was dancing in the wind. Her thin figure was kneeling on the ground, looking extremely thin in the cold wind in the north.

She is Liu Tong, the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty who came out of Luoyang following Xun Yu's advice.

There is a group of cavalry behind her. Although there are only ten cavalry, they are all made of heavy mud horses. This is the most powerful force of the Han Dynasty today and belongs to Dong Zhuo's personal guard-the Flying Bear Army.

The leading general sat lazily on his horse playing hachi, holding a handful of sunflower seeds in his hand, while a messenger bird stood on his shoulder, taking out melon seeds from his tail pocket just like his master.

One person and one elf, eating melon seeds leisurely, seemed out of place with the tragic scene of corpses everywhere.

"Your Royal Highness, if a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall, those Huns cavalry may still be nearby." Li An raised his head and looked at the sky.

There was a shadow there, what seemed to be a goshawk circling.

"That's right they're nearby."

"Hey!" The messenger bird immediately recognized the elf, and the birds' extraordinary eyesight allowed them to discover each other.

That is the elf living on the prairie, the darling of the sky, the warrior eagle.

"Hey, Fatty, do you know how to cook bird meat?"

Li An was not afraid of those Huns cavalry, and he only persuaded Liu Tong because of his boss's death order.

So for this warrior eagle, Li An suddenly began to covet his body.

"Pfft!" Chao Chao Pig gave a thumbs up, and then looked at the messenger bird with burning eyes.

The messenger bird was very dissatisfied when he saw this. The pig was very courageous and looked at everything as if it were food.

But the cooking skills are really good, and the braised green caterpillars make the messenger bird drool even thinking about it now.

"It's not this one, it's the one in the sky." Li An held his forehead, "Let's eat eagle meat as an extra meal today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the messenger bird soared into the sky and flew towards the warrior eagle.

The arrogant warrior eagle swooped down when he saw that a much smaller messenger bird dared to challenge him.

An air battle was about to break out, but as the owner, Li An was not worried at all, and Chao Chao Zhu on the other side even set up the stove.

Except for the soldiers of the Flying Bear Army who were standing ready, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly entered a camping state.

Oh, no, Princess Liu Tong is still immersed in sadness

"Little girl, why are you crying? Isn't this a normal thing in a borderland?" Li An simply walked to Liu Tong's side and comforted the young girl.

Although he didn't like Liu Tong, he had to obey the orders of his boss Dong Zhuo. Seeing such a scene for the first time, who knew what would happen to this little girl? What if she went crazy.

"I remember that at that time, I was almost about to be massacred by the Qiang people. My parents and brothers were all dead one by one. If the Grand Master hadn't arrived with his army, I would have died long ago."

"What about the officers and soldiers?" Liu Tong did not turn around, but still stared blankly at the corpse in the distance.

He saw a mother holding a baby in her arms and a man with his head cut off.

"Official army? The Grand Master was also an official army at that time, but he wanted to conquer those foreign races and kill all the alien races, so he almost ceased to be an official army."

Li An told Liu Tong with a smile.

"The life and death of the common people has nothing to do with the Han Dynasty or the noble family. The Emperor Liu Che's crusade against the Xiongnu was just for the sake of your old Liu family's face!"

"We are just the private property of your Liu family, a tool to support you. If the Xiongnu pay tribute and become ministers, the people in the court will care about the dead people, and who on the throne will care about the dead soldiers. "

The so-called strong men actually have nothing to do with those weak border villages.

While they have to pay taxes to the Han, they have to worry about being plundered by foreigners and bandits.

"No...it's not like this..."

Liu Tong's eyes were dull. In his reflection, the world should not be like this. How could a big man not even be able to protect his own people?

But everything in front of him told him that the big man couldn't even protect his own people.

The corpses that no one has collected, and the crows and scavenging birds that occasionally fall down all prove this point.

But where is the Han army?

They are fighting for power.

But where are the feudal officials of the Han Dynasty?

They are attacking each other.

But where are the princes in the court?

Their eyes had never paid attention to the survival of Sheng Dou Xiaomin.

"What your master said is right."

Although Li An was not very fond of Xun He, some of the words Dong Zhuo once relayed about Xun He were still fresh in his memory.

"He said."

"If soldiers and generals are all trying to protect their country, then why is there such a huge gap in power, status and money? Could it be that patriotism can be measured in money?"

Because of this sentence, the Xiliang Army can be said to be the richest army. The materials they plundered from the noble families were handed over uniformly, and then all members could receive the same share of the profits.

Although the generals and captains received less, each soldier received ten golds.

The main force of the Xiliang army totals people, which is one million gold.

It can be said that the Luoyang family is really too rich, and they can get millions of gold just by plundering it.

"He also said. If the chief of a county and the chief of a county are all asking for life for the people and peace under their rule, then why should they spy on the central government? Is it to ensure the stability of this place or for the central government's power and money?"

There was no civil service system under Dong Zhuo, and there was nothing to govern, but this sentence exposed the pretense of all the aristocratic families in the court.

Asking for orders for the people is nothing more than serving as an official for power.
