"Not far ahead, we will enter the borders of Xu Prefecture.”
A hundred miles to the edge of the enemy will be defeated by the general, fifty miles to the edge of the enemy's army half arrived.
In order to take care of Ma Li, Liu Bei and the others even stopped to rest once.
After all, they weren't just here to hurry. They also needed to recuperate enough energy to ensure that they could encounter a battle at any time.
Xia Cheng seized the time and slept to catch up on his sleep.
This was his first time riding a horse. Even with Liu Bei and the others helping him, and even Liu Bei personally riding alongside Xia Cheng, helping him control the reins from time to time.
But even so, such a fierce ride still caused Xia Cheng's thigh to be worn out, and he urgently needed to recuperate.
In the future, if anyone said that riding a horse was cool, Xia Cheng would definitely be the first to refute.
Handsome my ass!
Having experienced it personally, he only felt pain as he ran on the horse's back.
Just like that, when Liu Bei and his group arrived at Xu Prefecture.
The villages along the way were basically uninhabited.
Bones and corpses could be seen everywhere on the roadside, as well as smoke that had not yet dissipated.
The air was filled with the stench of rotting and fermenting corpses, making one feel nauseous.
Not to mention the ordinary people, even the manors of the local aristocratic families of Xu Prefecture that were placed in various rural areas were massacred.
As far as the eye could see, the countryside was barren and new graves were everywhere.
Cao Cao's words about massacring a city were not ambiguous.
Regardless of gender, age, status, they were all slaughtered.
Take the manor that Xia Cheng had seen, the one that was closest to him, for example.
It covered an area of nearly a hundred acres and was built in the form of a fort.
The manor owner even specially drew a clear stream from a nearby tributary.
Surrounding the village, it formed a barrier similar to a moat.
Outside the fortress, there were walls that were around twenty feet tall. At each corner, there was a tower that was around thirty feet tall.
It could be seen that the manor owner's original intention of building this fort was to guard against external dangers.
However, the main gate of the manor castle had been broken open, and the manor was in a mess.
The dilapidated houses and collapsed walls all showed the desolation and devastation of this place.
Clearly, in the face of an army, all defensive measures were useless.
There were slaughtered villagers, family members, and even the corpses of the elderly and children everywhere. Most of the female corpses were naked.
The broken furniture and the burnt remains.
The valuable items had basically been moved away.
All of this told the story of a difficult defensive war that had once taken place here, and the bloody and cruel slaughter that had occurred after the village had been destroyed.
Zhang Fei, who was in the lead, was not affected by these tragic scenes.
He merely pursed his lips and took off a leather bag from the horse's neck. Then, he gulped down half of the leather bag's worth of Zhongshan Winter Brew as if he was drinking water.
After drinking it, he even complained," After running for so long, there are dead people all the way. I didn't see a single living person. How unlucky."”
She didn't know if Zhang Fei was heartless or if he didn't care at all, so he was indifferent.
"To harm innocent people just to take revenge…Damn Cao! You deserve to die! You and I are irreconcilable!" Looking at the scene in front of him, Liu Bei was so angry that his entire body trembled.
Along the way, his initially eager heart seemed to have been splashed with cold water.
Xia Cheng, who was watching from the side, was also shocked by the tragic scene in front of him.
He couldn't help but recall the historical records of Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou."There were no more chickens and dogs, and the Sishui River did not flow.""Since then, there were no traces of people in several counties, and there were no more pedestrians in the market."
It was about the accumulated corpses that had blocked the Si River, and the few counties that had been massacred had been wiped out.
It could be seen that Cao Cao's subordinates had massacred a large number of people and caused great damage to Xu Prefecture.
It was no wonder that for those aristocrats from Xu Prefecture, whether they died tragically under the butcher's knife or luckily escaped with their lives, they were still very afraid.
In the future, whenever they talked about Cao Cao, it would be a bone-deep terror, a hateful feeling of gnashing their teeth.
Xia Cheng, who came from the future, also hated this kind of unscrupulous behavior of slaughtering innocent people.
This had nothing to do with the times. Anyone with a conscience would not be indifferent when they saw such a tragedy.
Liu Bei ordered the army to stop.
"Big brother, what are you doing?" Zhang Fei asked in confusion.”
Liu Bei sighed." These bones weren't buried. Since we're passing by, let's clean them up."”
"In that case, let's act quickly.”Guan Yu immediately dismounted.
Like Liu Bei, he was also very sympathetic to the commoners. He could not look directly at these corpses exposed on the roadside.
On the other hand, Zhang Fei was still muttering," Big brother is being kind again. We are going to rescue that old Tao Qian. There are so many people who have died in Xuzhou. If we have to restrain ourselves along the way, how long will we have to walk?"”
