Chapter 1367 Is it guilty (Page 1/1)

Huang Wan sat on a big rock, facing east, her armor and robe were covered with dust, but she was still neatly dressed. There was no water source on Yutai and she couldn't wash up. With a pot of water brought back by He Xian, Huang Wan rinsed her mouth, wiped her face with a wet cloth wipe, and finally cleaned her hands. The sun shone on his pale face, dyed a little red.

A plate of beef, a few pieces of dry food, and a pot of light wine. He Xian left for most of the day and brought back these things, as well as the four words "repeat the merits and atonement for sins".

Huang Wan picked up a piece of beef and put it in her mouth, chewed it slowly, and took a sip of wine from time to time. He chewed a lot of flavors, especially when he looked at the valley in the distance. Xun Yan ran sixty or seventy miles a day, and only rested for an hour. He probably had no time to make a fire and make rice. The soldiers could only eat some dry food. Can they eat such beef?

Even if Xun Yan shares the joys and sorrows with his soldiers and is willing to divide his own nutrition, it is only a temporary stopgap and cannot be compared with Huang Zhong's subordinates. The Han Dynasty emphasizes farming, and cattle are big animals. Even if Nanyang yellow cows are famous all over the world, ordinary people cannot kill cattle and eat meat often. Now Huang Zhong actually uses beef as dry food for marching. It seems like a trivial matter, but the deep meaning behind it makes people feel more and more uneasy.

"Zitong, Nanyang... are there many scalpers?"

He Xian pondered for a while. "Mr. Huang, I mostly live near Wancheng and I don't know much about other places. But when I think about it carefully, what Huang Zhong said is true. Now Wancheng is full of ox carts, merchants gather together, traveling from south to north, and lively and prosperous. Occasionally, I heard them talk about it. It seems that not only are the yellow cows in Nanyang all over the mountains, but also the Jiangnan region. Jingzhou has many mountains, which is very suitable for raising cattle, and even the elderly and the weak can do it."

"Then why didn't you do this before?" Huang Wan was puzzled.

He Xian didn't say anything. Raising cattle seems simple, but there are many problems involved. First, the mountains and hills are all owners, either from aristocratic families or from the court, or from ordinary people. Anyway, it's fine if there is no one to pursue it. If someone really wants to pursue it, it's no different from stealing. Confiscation of your cattle is a trivial matter, and it's possible to catch it if you don't do it well, so that you can lose all your money. Second, cattle are also property, and you have to pay taxes when raising cattle, which is called calculating money. Even if one tax is thirty taxes stipulated by the law, a cattle must be paid at least 100 yuan a year, and the actual payment may be two or three times. Cows are big animals and are not allowed to be slaughtered at will. They can only be used as servitude or farmland. It is not cost-effective for ordinary people. It is better to borrow it than to raise it yourself, or simply use manpower. Moreover, many people have no land at all, so what is the purpose of raising cattle?

He didn't know how Sun Ce did it. He thought it was tax cuts or something like that. Sun Ce did a lot of things like this, and it was nothing strange to reduce one more tax.

Huang Wan didn't say anything, and chewed a piece of beef. The beef was hungry, a piece of beef, a few sips of light wine, and a hungry belly. There was food in his hungry belly, and the people became more energetic, but he felt it was even more bitter.

What kind of elite soldiers who can eat beef every day should be? Although Xun Yan is a member of the Yingchuan family, he does not have such treatment. How likely can he win against Huang Zhong? Let Huang Zu direct command from Huang Zhong, he will not go to the front line. You can imagine that he is very clear about the gap in strength between the two sides.

So what about Coke Yi and Yuan Shao? Can they defeat Sun Ce and Sun Jian?

The situation is even more serious than expected.

Huang Wan turned around and handed the remaining beef and dry food to He Kui. He Kui took it and handed it to other officials. The officials had already become greedy, so they said a few words of politeness and took it aside. You and I just picked it up and stuffed it into their mouths with your hands. Huang Wan saw it and felt even more depressed.

"Zigao, do you say... am I guilty?"

He Kui bowed his hands and looked at his toes. He Xian reported to Huang Wan, he kept listening. When he heard Huang Zhong say that Huang Wan violated the laws of the country and the people, and that even if he died, he could not be buried in the ancestral tomb, he knew that Huang Wan would be shaken. As a child of aristocratic family, as a famous party member, Huang Wan was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of humiliating his ancestors, and he was afraid of leaving behind his stigma. He could not be buried in the ancestral tomb, and was written into history with the reputation of being unfaithful and unfilial. It was an unbearable shame for Huang Wan, and even if he died, he could not be washed away.

He hoped that Huang Wan could survive, but he could not speak out even if he told him that Huang Wan was guilty.

Is Huang Wan guilty? It’s hard to say, the key depends on who will judge it. But Huang Wan’s question shows that his psychological collapse is signs of his psychological collapse. Huang Wan is a party member, a famous scholar, a party member, and one of the biggest characteristics of famous scholars is that they have always believed that they are right, and go straight to the right, and have no guilt. Although they have suffered two party shackles, evil cannot defeat the right, and victory will eventually belong to the party members. Now they have suffered consecutive defeats. Does it prove that they are wrong? Even God has abandoned them? Otherwise, why did the Sun family and his son win consecutively, but he was trapped in the mountains, and the Yingchuan battlefield reversed, and Yuan Shao also faced the possibility of a complete defeat.

The three armies can seize the commander, but every man cannot seize the ambition, and Huang Wan is in chaos.

After a long time, Huang Wan said quietly: "The book says: Heaven looks at oneself, the people see themselves, and the people listen. Last year, the Central Plains suffered a great epidemic, and the people supported the elderly and children and rushed to Yuzhou together. The will of heaven can be seen. We are self-confessed, made words for the saints, and made destiny for the people, but we saw that the world was in chaos and could not be saved, and that the people could not be comforted by the people. This is not only a crime, but it is simply unforgivable."

He Kui and He Gao were shocked. "Huang Gong..."

Huang Wan raised his hand. "Zi Gao, stop talking. Zi Tong, you have to work harder to meet Huang Zu, ask about the situation in his hometown, and see if what Huang Zhong said is true. If it is true as Huang Zhong said, I..." He paused, raised his head, looked into the distance, his eyes narrowed by the bright sunshine. "I would like to take a knife and axe, go to the cauldron, bear the crime with my body, and die without a single complaint. Otherwise, even if thousands of knives are cut into pieces and left with a bad reputation for thousands of years, I will fight with Huang Zhong for the death to death, never stop until death."

He Kui and He Xian were relatively speechless. They knew how difficult it was for a proud person like Huang Wan to let him admit that he was wrong. However, the other officials and guards did not think so. Huang Wan wanted to surrender, so they had the possibility of survival. Seeing that He Xian didn't say anything, a officials couldn't help but quit the crowd.

"Taiwei, if you want to prove what Huang Hansheng said, why bother Huang Zu? There are many people around Taiwei who know the inside story."

Huang Wan was surprised, but he suddenly realized that the people around him were either his clan or his village party. Many of them came from Jiangxia when he was transferred to Luoyang. They were not unfamiliar with Jiangxia and Nanyang. However, he was busy with official duties and had different ranks and inferiors. He never thought of talking to them. After understanding this truth, he couldn't help but feel ashamed and blushed. Knowing himself and his enemy, he would be invincible for a hundred battles. He had so many sources of information around him, but he never thought about taking the initiative to understand. How could he be invincible when facing Huang Zhong?

Huang Wan regretted it, looked around and said loudly: "Does anyone know about Huang Hansheng?"

After a while, a guard in the distance raised his hand timidly. "I have heard the story of Huang Hansheng and General Sun, no, Sun Ce getting to know each other."

Before he finished speaking, another guard raised his hand. "Taiwei, I have heard the story of Huang Han's succession in the formation and killing Xiahou Yuan."
