Chapter 1 Rebel! Black Feather Crow!(1/3)
As we all know, whenever we talk about the era when the emperor was confused, the court was in chaos, and the people were living in trouble, most people in the world would think of the word "Zhen Zhou of Shang" at the first moment. However, in fact, the chaotic dynasty in history was far more than the Zhou of Shang Dynasty.
For example, this book will describe.
The Han Dynasty!
During the heyday of the Han Dynasty, the national population reached 60 million, and the country was strong and its neighbors surrendered. It also left behind a stunning saying, "Those who offend our Han Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away." This famous and stunning saying has been widely circulated even after a thousand years.
However, Taoism says: "If you have a complete relationship, you will lose; if you have a extreme relationship, you will lose; if you have a full moon, you will lose; if you have a strong relationship, you will lose; if you have a strong relationship, you will lose; if you have a constant state of heaven and earth!"
All things in this world cannot escape a cycle of alternating losses and recurring cycles.
As powerful as the Han Dynasty, it is difficult to escape this disaster. From prosperity to decline, it gradually goes to the end. This period of history is called the end of the Han Dynasty.
During the late Han Dynasty, the most chaotic world was the Guanghe period of Emperor Ling of Han, and the story of this article will also begin here.

——————————————————————————
In 183 AD, the sixth year of Emperor Ling of Han, Emperor Ling of Han, four hundred years have passed since the founding of the Han Dynasty by Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han, and the powerful empire has gradually reached its end.
There are constant natural disasters and man-made disasters, which has led to the edifice that has been passed down for more than 400 years.
Light and six years of summer, this is another season of drought.
The sky is shining brightly.
The land, scorched earth for hundreds of miles.
Even breathing and inhaling, it seems like a hot wave, which makes people feel hoarse and thirsty.
Next to an unknown official road paved with loess, an old man in his fifties was squatting there, looking at the crops scorched in the scorching sun in his field by the road, sighing.
His turbid eyes were slightly shining with tears. After a long time, he looked up at the sky.
"The year before last year, last year, and this year it's also drought... God, you won't give me a way to live..."
The old man's calloused black and thin hands trembled, and he carefully helped up a crop that had been killed by the scorching sun. The old man sighed again.
Finally, the slightly cloudy eyes were filled with tears.
Somehow, the old man couldn't help but think of a saying that has spread all over the country in recent years.
Some words spread by people wrapped in yellow turbans.
[Heaven and earth are not kind, and treat all things as straw dogs! Saints are not kind, and treat the people as straw dogs!]
[Note: Straw dogs, dogs that are made of grass, are usually used as sacrifices. People respect them very much before sacrifices, but after sacrifices, they ignore them because they lose their effect.]
"This world..."
The old man slowly moved to the side of the road and untied his ragged and thin cloth shirt. Under the thin shirt, his body was dark and thin. At a glance, he knew it was caused by long-term hunger.
"Guagua—"
A few crows came from nowhere and stopped on the branches of a dead tree beside the road.
The old man looked up silently and looked at him a few times.
Although crows were also one of the many birds that were popular in the past few years, over the years, due to severe droughts and starvation, crows like to peck at the carrion, so later, crows had already been in the hearts of the people that caused death.
Later, it became even more outrageous, saying that as long as this kind of misfortune appears, someone in the local area will inevitably die of a disaster.
"Go! Go!"
The old man was frightened by the bird in his heart and used his mouth to scare the crows on the top of the dead tree. Unfortunately, the crows were not moved at all. Sometimes they used their beaks to combed their black feathers, and sometimes they looked up. A pair of black beads stared coldly and indifferently at the distance of the official road.
The old man wanted to throw stones away the crows, but just as he lowered his head to look for the right stone, a piece of sand and dust rose from the official road in the distance.
Looking closely, a young boy was running quickly in the distance of the official road. He was not very old, and seemed to be around fifteen or sixteen years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, red lips and white teeth. He must be said to be a handsome young man.
Although the young man was wearing a common man, the old man could tell that this young man was not from a poor family just looking at his fair skin.
In a hurry, the old man watched the young man run past him, and his face was covered with sand caused by his running.
What surprised the old man was that the young man stopped after running a few feet away. He seemed to feel something was wrong. He turned around and bowed his hand and said to the old man with apologetic expression: "The boy ran in a hurry, and even the dust alarmed his father-in-law. I was really sorry. Oh, by the way, the boy's surname was Zhang Minghuang, and he had met his father-in-law."
[What a polite guy!]
Originally, the old man was a little angry, but seeing the young man so polite, he felt a little appreciative while reassuring, and waved his hand and smiled, "It's not the case, it's the guy named Zhang, why are you in such a hurry?"
The young man named Zhang Huang showed a smile on his face. After glanced at the way he came, he said in a joking tone: "Are you walking a few evil dogs behind you? You can't help but run away faster!"
"Evil dog?" The old man was a little puzzled after hearing this.
Seeing that the old man didn't understand, Zhang Huang smiled and explained, "That's right now. The boy is being chased by a group of evil people..." As he said that, he seemed to have seen something and continued, "Those guys are catching up with me? Hey! Oh, by the way, my father-in-law should avoid it too. Those people are not good people, but they are all vicious thugs!"
After saying this, Zhang Huang bowed and rushed towards the distance.
The old man looked at Zhang Huang's leaving back with confusion. After a moment, he heard a burst of rapid footsteps.
When he turned around and saw the direction Zhang Huang was running towards, the old man was slightly surprised.
I saw a group of strong and strong men of five or three magnificent figures running from a distance panting, counting about thirty people.
These people were dressed in different clothes, some holding big swords, and some carrying long spears. You could tell at a glance that they were not good at all.
Seeing this, the old man secretly regretted not following Zhang Huang's advice and continued to stay here. He picked up his clothes from the side of the road and was about to leave.
At this time, the leading man among the group had arrived in front of the old man.
"Hey, old man, have you seen a little bastard running over here?!"
The leading man shouted sternly, with a fierce and vicious face.
[These people are the evil people that the guy just mentioned? Well, it's really a ferocious person!]
Thinking of this, the old man was unhappy and stood up slowly and slowly looked at the person in front of him. He saw the man with big and thick eyes, his eyes were bright, his arms were strong, and there was a scary scar on his left eye. Not to mention that there was a machete hanging around his waist, but this look was enough to scare the ordinary people.
The old man slowly looked at the group of people. Seeing that the old man had not replied for a long time, a look of impatient appeared on his face.
"Damn old dog, I'm asking you something, I'm mute?"
The old man took a breath after hearing this and said calmly: "I'm resting here, and I haven't seen any 'little bastard'."
"I'm still stubborn with my dead dog? I clearly saw that the little bastard was running away here!" The man was very displeased when he heard this, with a strong anger on his face. He grabbed the old man's clothes, narrowed his eyes, and said coldly: "Old man, do you know who I am? My name is Huang Luo! Have you ever heard of it?!"
[Huang... Luo?]
The old man was so scared that his eyes widened. Why? Because the name was so loud in the local area.
That is the leader of the bandits who fell on Ashes Mountain next to Zhang County, a thug known as "Huang Yanluo", who killed people and robbed people and did everything he could do.
"The king of the thief on the Ashes Mountain?" the old man said stammeringly.
"Just know my name." Huang Luo sneered a few times after hearing the old man's words, and then his face was tense, and the scar on his face was also bloody, and his eyes were fierce and threatened: "Why don't you say it quickly! I've delayed my big business, I will peel off all the skins of you, the old dog!"
The old man trembled in his heart when he heard this and he subconsciously opened his mouth, but just as he was about to tell where Zhang Huang was going, he suddenly remembered the kindness Zhang Huang had just said.
"I have never seen it before!"
After some struggle in my heart, the old man gritted his teeth and said.
"The old dog is still stubborn?" Huang Luo was furious when he heard this, his eyes widened, and suddenly pulled out the machete at his waist.
Seeing this, the old man felt sad, shocked and frightened, and closed his eyes tremblingly.
However, just as Huang Luo's knife was about to machete the old man, a loud laugh came from afar.
"Huang Luo, why are you running so slowly with a few puppies? I've been waiting for you here for a long time!"
Huang Luo subconsciously turned his head and then saw a figure who was very angry next to the official road in the distance, leaning against a dead tree, looking at him with a smile.
"Brother, it's that little bastard!"
