Chapter 5752 Extra: The Times Flood
"Zhiran, brother, I'll be here to accompany you too." Guo Si, who was 197 years old at the time, finally died of old age on the couch due to various secret injuries.
"Crazy!" Guo Si, who felt that he was dead, suddenly felt a basin of water pouring on his face. He couldn't help but feel a little angry and opened his eyes immediately.
"This kid is still alive." This is what Guo Si opened his eyes angrily, feeling dizzy again and fainted before.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already evening. An old man beside me poured him a bowl of grass seeds from dogtail grass and made porridge. The bowl was also half broken. Guo Si took the bowl in a daze and started pouring it into his mouth. The smell of grass on the nose made Guo Si frown, but his instinct made him drink the grass seed porridge in big mouthfuls.
"What is this?" Guo Si didn't understand what was going on. Looking at the thin old man in front of him, to be honest, five years later, Guo Si had never seen such a dry, dark, and dry hair, but this man looked familiar.
"Are you stupid?" The old man looked at Guo Si with turbid eyes and licked the grass seeds in the broken bowl cleanly, which made Guo Si feel a little embarrassed.
Guo Si looked up at the sky and couldn't help but frown. Although he didn't study astrological positioning well, the little brother who developed astrological positioning was beaten by him for decades, and he also lost a lot of available experience. According to the location of this astrological constellation, the temperature at night, and the familiar environment in the local area, Guo Si was basically sure that this was Liangzhou.
"Go away quickly, the Qiang bandits are here again." Just as Guo Si was observing the sky, the old man suddenly pulled Guo Si in panic and asked him to run with him.
"Qiang Bandit?" Guo Si vaguely felt that he hadn't heard of this title for hundreds of years. It was at this time that Guo Si finally remembered who the old man in front of him. One hundred and eighty-five years ago, it was this old man who saved his life and took him away from his hometown in Zhangye. Unfortunately, he did not escape the horse bandit. The old man was killed, and the horse bandit did not kill him because he was cruel enough.
If Guo Si was still the child of an ordinary Zhangye farmer who had a family that was destroyed, then he would not know the year name or the overall situation now, nor would he understand what era the next era would be like. He could only walk in such a daze every day, and at most remember to take revenge.
But this time it was different. Although I don’t know how this era came, Guo Si was only excited. Unlike Li Jue, who was born in the side branch of the Li clan of Longxi, and Fan Chou, a small landlord in Liangzhou, Guo Si was a complete savage.
During the Three Kingdoms period, he had the lowest background and was a real muddy man, without a background, without a background, and only himself.
There are reasons for being a marquis and being able to be a general, for the times and for his own reasons. However, no matter what the reason is, Guo Si remembers his greatest benefactor Dong Zhuo. Even if Dong Zhuo fell, even when he fell, Guo Si didn't feel that the other party treated him badly.
Even though he followed Guo Si through the four empires, traveled around the world, and truly completed the journey of thousands of miles and gained his knowledge, he understood why Dong Zhuo was in that situation, but he still believed that the Prime Minister Dong did not treat him badly.
As for the major families, nothing to do with him, even if he learns more and lives longer, the Meiyang Hou group established by him, Guo Si is also a huge political force, and he eventually becomes the guys he hated back then. But even so, Guo Si still believes that without Dong Zhuo, there would be no Guo Si.
Even if Li Jue, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji don't meet Dong Zhuo, they won't starve to death, nor will they get into the position of becoming a bandit. But this year, Guo Si started to become a bandit because of this world without bottom line. Until four or five years later, he was defeated by Li Jue and others who suppressed bandits four or five years later. Dong Zhuo saw his loyalty and spared him from death.
Later, he was able to participate in the war between Dong Zhuo and the Qiang people in the first year of Yongkang. That time, Dong Zhuo took out all the rewards given to him by Emperor Huan and paid his salary to reward all the soldiers participating in the war. It was also that time that Guo Si and others felt that Dong Zhuo was worth following.
Thinking of this, Guo Si stood up staggeringly. He wanted to surrender to Dong Zhuo. This time, Dong Xiang could not be allowed to fall into the situation of his previous life. His military advisor and his chief clerk actually knew it, but he did not stop it. It was very simple.
With this idea, Guo Si stood up and prepared to find Dong Zhuo. But before he could stand firm, the old man pulled him to the ground and shouted in a low voice, "Guawazi, what do you want to do, the Qiang bandits are coming!"
"A mere Qiang people." Guo Si was obviously not adapting to his identity, so he habitually said such words, and then he felt a little embarrassed.
The old man held Guo Si on the ground and pretended to be dead for the middle of the night. In fact, the fragmented Qiang people didn't even get close to this place for a kilometer or two. The cold night wind in Liangzhou made Guo Si wake up a lot. In his current situation, let alone looking for Dong Zhuo, he might be eaten by a dish on the way.
After all, this is not the kind of Yuanfeng Chao and Xian'an Chao. If you don't bring money, you can run from the Western Regions to the East China Sea. You can eat and live in the fellow villagers by relying on your accent and the faces of the Central Plains. In this era, eating people is not a word between the lines, but a true portrayal of reality.
Thinking of this, Guo Si couldn't help but feel a little gloomy. He was only twelve or thirteen years old now. His hometown in Zhangye was destroyed by the Qiang people and his household registration was gone. He was a complete savage. Thinking about it carefully, there seemed to be no other choice except to be a bandit and a soldier.
When a refugee, that is, a savage, he is lucky. When he meets a good official, he is assigned a householder and is able to re-enroll himself. He is unlucky and is dragged to the mine, caught by the Qiang people as a slave, and is caught by the wealthy family as a slave. However, it is still good to be a slave, at least he does not die on the spot.
Guo Si has lived for more than a hundred years and has traveled all over the world. His knowledge is not a joke. If he is really unlucky, he will be eaten by his fellow travelers on the way, taken to worship the river god, used to serve as a sacrifice to human sacrifice, and was piling, etc., which are all possible.
What's more, these days...
Life is not easy, Guo Si sighed, this era without bottom line, let's do it, you can become a bandit. As for meeting good officials, households, and people, don't think about it. This is the era when Liangzhou and Sanming, Liangzhou were both tended to appease the Qiang people during the reign of Emperor Huan.
Perhaps in the eyes of the superiors, comfort is a good policy, giving some benefits, not making too much noise, at most it is to kill local people or something. If you don’t make a siege, killing officials or something is not a problem, and stability or something is the most important thing.
But for ordinary people like Guo Si, comfort is nothing. Why did the Qiang chaos last for a hundred years? To put it bluntly, the locals found that being a Han people was not as comfortable as a Qiang people.
Why do the Qiang people rob us and not avenge us? We killed the Qiang people and complained, and we still have to explain that I am a nonsense Han people, and I will be a Qiang people in the future!
The descendants of General Fu Bo are considered half of Qiang people, so they can still caress them, just caress them!
A speck of dust from the times is a kind of mountain for individuals. At no time, Guo Si had such a clear understanding of this sentence.
History has proved that all the pacification strategies are only meaningful after letting the other party understand the truth. There were only more than 100,000 Qiang people killed by Duan Jin. Later, the Qiang people arrested Jia Xu. After Jia Xu said that it was Duan Jin's tribe members, and the knife was put on Jia Xu's neck and then released Jia Xu.
What does it mean to understand things? This is called understanding things. Later, the Iron Cavalry of Xiliang spoke to the Qiang people, and the Qiang people were not very obedient.
Guo Si was successful in his career. Although he was only twelve or thirteen years old, he had rich combat experience and had real ability to command troops. When the horse bandits came to rob Guo Si and the old man, Guo Si robbed a knife and killed the horse bandit leader who killed the old man in his previous life, and then became the boss himself.
Guo Si spent three years in this process in the previous life. This time, Guo Si spent three minutes robbing the sword, killing the leader of the bandit, and killing the thorns. I will become the boss from now on.
However, Guo Si, who became the boss, looked at the empty thief database after a day of the banquet. He didn't know what expression to use except sighing. OK, robbery is professional.
"Snatch the Qiang people?" After hearing the order from the new boss, his younger brother was stunned. The strongest person in this place was the Qiang people.
"If you don't rob the Qiang people of what to eat, just rob him." Guo Si was not afraid at all, just do it. He is proficient in the martial arts of Western Liang, and he is absolutely sure to use war to support the war. Especially for opponents like Qiang people who are divided into areas, they should not be too smooth to grab them.
Guo Si began to practice military training in Xiliang. As for the mortality rate and other things, it was nonsense. In these days, life and death in this kind of place are not a joke. If you want to survive, you have to become stronger. Guo Si is professional in developing this kind of fighting model.
After the robbery was successful, Guo Si began to grow stronger and continued to rob, obtaining several gun heads, several Hequ horses, and several sheepskins. After arming, he repeated the previous step. The Qiang people in the area were defeated and entered a new territory. Then Guo Si was hammered by the Qiang people.
The Qiang people these days were not the case where Duan Bing and Dong Zhuo beat bones into powder, and the entire tribe was turned into mud. They had to be led by the Han Dynasty to be able to be able to fight. The Qiang people these days were very wild.
After all, the Qiang people these days were basically pretended to be the people of Xiliang. They were said to be ethnic conflicts, but in fact, they were more closely related to alienation of class contradictions, but they were just distorted by the upper class and revealed ethnic conflicts. However, as a large number of Liangzhou people joined the Qiang people, the essence of the contradiction began to emerge.
Of course, Duan Bing's actions later greatly shocked the locals in Liangzhou who pretended to be Qiang people, and thus effectively returned the Qiang chaos problem to a relatively normal state.
But no matter what, the Qiang people are very inflated these days, and Guo Si is so upset that he was not beaten to death. To be honest, Guo Si, who only has 400 people, is already very powerful to be able to kill from the Qiang tribe of thousands of people. After all, the Western Liang Iron Cavalry these days does not have the ability to intimidate the Qiang people.
When they are head-on, both sides carry their heads on both shoulders, and they will die if they cut them off.
After such a wave of defeat, Guo Si was directly defeated and wanted to leave Liangzhou and go to Bingzhou to find Dong Zhuo. However, at this time, a large-scale Qiang chaos broke out again. Guo Si, who was in Zhangye, wanted to go to Chang'an. Wake up, don't dream.
Guo Si wasted four or five years of such a low-key person. There was no way. This guy didn't have some farming and development skills and his ability to train troops was good, but he plundered and developed the development model. When it reached four or five hundred people, he needed too much supplies.
Once the robbery was taken, the main force of the Qiang people would come out to hammer Guo Si, which led to Guo Si changing several bases in four or five years. After a defeat and escaped in one battle, he met Li Jue who came to recruit him.
Because of the battles for several years, Guo Si is already quite famous among the Qiang people, and of course there is only one thing in Chang'an at most.
When Dong Zhuo fought against Qiang this time, he sent someone to recruit Guo Si's rebel army when he received news that Guo Si was resting nearby. Guo Si naturally agreed quickly. He had been waiting for Dong Xiang for five years. He originally wanted to surprise Dong Xiang, but he did not even develop 500 people.
But it doesn't matter. It's considered to be waiting for Dong Xiang. Next, I will join Dong Xiangfei. As long as I get the money, grain and materials, I, Guo Si, trained first-class troops.
After joining Dong Xiang for five years, Guo Si clearly realized that he had not changed anything. Dong Zhuo's problem was never a problem of training troops, but a problem of money, food and materials. When training troops, Guo Si sighed that the military advisor was even more cruel than him.
As for other troops, Guo Si really doesn't know.
After that, Guo Si followed Dong Zhuo until one day Li Ru excitedly informed everyone to enter Luoyang. Guo Si suddenly realized that he had been here for fourteen years, but it seemed that nothing had changed. He did better than before, but it had no meaning.
When entering Luoyang, Guo Si didn’t have any special feeling, only a sense of urgency, that is, he must save Dong Xiang this time.
As for the chaos in Luoyang, the chaos in the world, Guo Si didn't care at all. Anyway, there was a giant father who would come to clean up everything. And that person also said that only when the old rules were destroyed could new rules be established on the ruins. Therefore, Guo Si felt that the things that Dong Zhuo did were probably the so-called pains of the old era.
However, when the real pain appeared, Guo Si was confused. Although he was a murderer and had truly experienced moving the capital to Chang'an back then, compared to his heart that year, Guo Si, who had gradually established his moral values after more than a hundred years of prosperity and prosperity, was greatly impacted when he saw this scene.
This is wrong.
There is no other reason, but Guo Si clearly realized that doing this is wrong.
Guo Si did not resist the digging of the imperial tomb, but he drove the people like cattle and sheep, and Guo Si felt that something was wrong.
But Guo Si did not speak, but just followed Dong Zhuo to Chang'an with the idea of saving Dong Xiang. He had been waiting for him during this period, but Luoyang was in a rage, and no one went to save him this time.
"What?" Guo Si, who felt his heart was as iron as stone and had no concern for human life, exploded directly after receiving the information from his personal guards. At this moment, he finally realized that he ignored the so-called pains of the times because someone was in charge of the situation, and the person who was guaranteeing the situation did not come.
"What did you say!" Guo Si pulled Wu Xi's collar and roared like a tiger. If that person didn't come, then what did he do before would be the lives of hundreds of thousands of people!
All the arbitrary behavior is just because someone is silently cleaning up behind the scenes.
"Go to Yingchuan and find out what's going on!" Guo Si curled his power, and the power of a county marquis for a hundred years was stronger than anyone in this year. That was the courage that only strong people who proved their own strength worldwide had.
After Wu Xi left, Guo Si squatted at the door, his hands trembling. He was thinking about what he had done, obviously not like this.
Time flies quickly, Zhu Jun challenged Dong. This time Guo Si did not go, Li Jue went alone, and the battle won the problem and solved it.
"General, the person you asked me to investigate has passed away two years ago. It is said that he was killed when he went out." Wu Xi said carefully. Since he felt Guo Si's momentum last time, Wu Xi has obeyed Guo Si a lot.
"Dead?" Guo Si was stunned for a moment, then as if his spirit suddenly lost its energy, his eyes were even turbid, and he murmured to himself, "Who will clean up the mess?"
Dong Zhuo continued to act against the enemy, while Guo Si became silent. He had only one goal left, which was to save Dong Zhuo. This was his only goal. However, when Liu Xie issued an edict to ask Dong Zhuo to advance, Wang Yun was actually standing in front of Guo Si's military camp.
"What are you going to block me?" Guo Si looked at Wang Yun and asked.
"Have the general harmed the people?" Wang Yun pointed directly at the core of the problem. The chain of plans is not a problem, the problem is only in the hearts of the people. "Li Wenyou is not unsuccessful, but has not stopped it. Do you know why?"
Wang Yun is not stupid. He is actually very clear that his plan has been seen through long ago, but those who see through have various reasons to let it go. Since he will let it go, it doesn’t matter whether he sees through it or not.
"Never." Guo Si said in silence for a while, "they are already suffering enough, they shouldn't have been like this."
"When Dong Zhuo lives, the people will suffer even more." Wang Yun stated the facts. He was not afraid of death. He was prepared if he dared to come. He saw many people clearly, but he couldn't understand Guo Si. But for some things, he had to come. "The Han Dynasty cannot fall, and falling will only cause disaster."
"Yes." Guo Si nodded slowly and admitted this fact.
"Please take care of all the people." Wang Yun bowed deeply and showed respect completely different from the previous one to the vulgar warrior he looked down upon.
"I..." Guo Si was extremely complicated and finally sighed, "I am not worthy. Since Chang'an is in chaos, I will leave."
"This is the edict for the enthronement, the general has collected it." Wang Yun directly handed the edict for the transaction to Guo Si. Guo Si put it away without looking at it. "Situ, after Dong Xiang left, he was better against the Xiliang soldiers. Although Lu Bu was strong, he was really not a match for Zhiran and the others."
After saying that, Guo Si looked north to Chang'an and led his subordinates to the Western Regions. There was no place for him in the Central Plains. He lived in the Western Regions for a hundred years. Since that's the case, let's go to the Western Regions. There are no people who clean up the mess, and I don't know what chaos will be like in the Central Plains.
But this has nothing to do with me, the waste that can only rise and fall with the times. I still haven't done anything, and more importantly, it may be worse.
