The countryside of Jizhou was in chaos, and the news that Cao's army began to raise a butcher knife to Jizhou quickly spread around.

No matter when, no matter ancient and modern, both in China and abroad, once faced with troubled times, the middle class will definitely be the first to fall. After all, the common people are already at the end, and they will not fall much further. However, the middle class, who was originally considered a decent life, almost fell from the sky to the mud and dust!

Those gentry squads on the edge of Jizhou are undoubtedly the middle class in Jizhou. They are not top gentry, but they have some land, some money, and some people in the countryside. In daily life, they think that this day is their sky, and this land is also their land. Under the small peasant economic system, the demand for the outside world is very low. Except for a very few who can think about looking at the outside world, most of these gentry disciples have inherited their father's business and watched the sky from generation to generation.

Now, the well has been broken.

It turns out that war, death, is so close!

On a small hill far away from the dock, a group of people looked at the chaos and death in the dock from afar.

Whether it is a general or a soldier, most of the eyes are filled with indifference.

Cao Hong is the main one, and Cao Zhang is the deputy.

In the chaotic times, people are like grass, and after the storm is rolled up, no one can stay away from it.

If Cao's army wants to defeat the Cavalry in the next stage, or to find a glimmer of hope in desperate situations, it is impossible to use ordinary means!

Money, grain, people!

Which one and which point can be obtained at present through ordinary, normal and harmonious channels?

No!

As long as Cao Cao sits down and talks, he will wait to die!

Cao Cao hid in order not to sit down and talk, and it is impossible to sit down and talk. If Cao Cao could not centralize power, then those who waited for the Cao family would definitely be completely liquidated and eliminated!

It's like what Sima did after he came to power in history.

Even if we have to talk, we will still talk again!

Cao Hong brought Cao Zhang to see with his own eyes what the outcome of the loser would be.

Cao Zhang was still young in the previous battle in Xuzhou, and even after watching it, he might not be able to understand the cruelty and despair contained in it.

Now, where they are, they can see the battlefield at the far-off fort.

Looking at the rioters who were not in line, surrounded by, driven away, shouting, crying, and crying, with despair and death, surging towards the small dock, drowning all the vitality under the yellow dust and destroying it in the blood.

The screams that were made before death could be heard vaguely even if they were so far apart.

This voice made Cao Zhang feel a little uneasy.

Although he could also hear such screams on the battlefield, for some reason, Cao Zhang felt that the sound at the moment sounded so uncomfortable, which made him feel a little confused where to put it.

"This is a world of cannibalism..." Cao Hong seemed to have discovered Cao Zhang's embarrassment, or hadn't noticed it at all, but Cao Hong said to himself, "To live, do his best."

The fort in front of you is for survival, and the other is for preserving your own way of life.

Cao Hong looked up slightly, "Do you think we are wrong?"

Cao Zhang was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "We are right. If we don't do this, we will die!"

'That's it!' Cao Hong said in a deep voice, 'When these guys were stealing our food and grass, stealing our army's weapons, and just doing something, they would stop them. Why didn't they think about today?'

Cao Hong obviously included anger, and this sentence almost roared, as if he wanted to roar out the depression and pain he had experienced these days together in his words!

People have a standpoint, and wherever they are, they naturally speak.

Of course, Cao Hong would not say that they have implicated many innocent ordinary people in order to deal with these rural geniuses in Jizhou!

In this world, in the present of the Han Dynasty, these ordinary people who have no right to speak have always been sacrificed!

At least in Shandong, no one will listen, and no one will pay attention to the tragedy of these ordinary people!

Even using this tragedy to achieve one's own goal...

Cao Zhang couldn't help but close his eyes and sighed slightly, "All of them are from Shandong... Why bother to come?"

Cao Hong nodded, "That's right, why bother to come!"

Perhaps Cao Zhang and Cao Hong’s “Why do you want to come” does not mean the same thing, but now all of this has lost its meaning.

These gentry in Jizhou leaned towards Yuan Shao before the Han Dynasty had fallen, and after Yuan Shao died, they quickly fell under Cao Cao's skirt.

It can be said that these people spare no effort to survive, but it can also be said that these people do not have the so-called "loyalty and filial piety" and "shamed", at least not as much or as high as they verbally emphasize!

Therefore, it can be foreseen that once Fei Jian reaches Zhongyuan, these guys will quickly join the cavalry...

The premise is that the cavalry must join the crowd with them.

Just like all the Shandong rulers before, they must "take care of" them and be given "special" treatment.

These gentry and Confucian students in Shandong are like small assets and middle-class people in later generations, and have a certain degree of revolution and compromise. The revolutionary nature of these people is to hope to remove the big assets on their heads and replace them, not really opposing the system of oppression and exploitation.

They have certain progressive capabilities and a certain knowledge reserve. They have indeed made considerable contributions to the inheritance and promotion of Chinese civilization culture. They have also made contributions to the dissemination and expansion of culture and the improvement of education and quality of ordinary people. Just like Confucius' teachings, they are also setting thresholds and traps in the process of spreading knowledge, and then trying to monopolize knowledge into their own authority. Therefore, these people are very disgusted with Zheng Xuan and very resistant to Qinglong Temple.

In the final analysis, these middle and lower levels of the gentry are the people who most look forward to peace in the world, because only under the premise of peace in the world can these people live a stable life and enjoy the convenience under order!

And now, this order has been completely broken, and death and chaos have finally come to these people.
Chapter completed!
