MTL - Three Kingdoms-Chapter 2735 Wrong thinking

  Chapter 2735 Straight thinking

   Even in troubled times, there are always some passionate and unyielding people in China.

   But even in the prosperous age, there are still some nasty people in China who harbor ghosts and ghosts.

  Dawn, the moment when darkness and light meet each other.

  In Xihai City, officials of all sizes gathered and waited in front of the government office of Da Duhu, and then followed Lu Bu to drive to the place where the ceremony was held, the West Sea Lake.

  As Lu Bu's closest confidant, Wei Xu is also the main executor of this ceremony, and the person in charge is naturally in the front row, closely following behind Lu Bu.

  Both sides of the road along the way are guarded by soldiers, each with bright armor and looks very energetic.

Today's military system in Xihai not only has Han cavalry, but also many Hu cavalry. These were originally nomadic tribes, or the subordinates of the Western Regions, and now they are all under Lu Bu, as a supplement to the Han cavalry. Accept the jurisdiction of the Han people.

Most of these barbarian cavalry have some very famous names, such as the general of the car division, but in fact they are not very strong. Many of them are just a little stronger than the mob. It is okay to intimidate civilians. The real battle Can't count on it.

  Li Ru originally set up this Han-controlled Hu structure, which not only has its interlocking and mutual checks and balances, but also has a great crisis, which has already been revealed during the time of Dong Zhuo. If the Han people are strong enough, then it is easy to talk about anything, but once the Han people show decline, these originally docile Huren legions will immediately backlash.

   But it is obvious that if the Han people want to expand outward, they cannot do without these barbarians.

In order to open up territory, war is indispensable. In addition to consuming money, food and materials, war must also consume human life. Therefore, if these barbarians can be used well, it is equivalent to saving more lives of Han people. One point is beyond doubt.

Therefore, although Li Ru clearly dealt with a series of problems caused by recruiting a large number of barbarians after Dong Zhuo, he still adopted this model in the Western Regions, and the reasons for it are somewhat remarkable. .

   It's just that for Lu Bu, Wei Xu and others, most of them have never thought about this.

  The conch horn of the ceremony sounded.

  The tail wings of the colorful flag flutter.

  The sound of chanting full of mystery began to recite...

  Lu Bu seemed to feel that the heaven and the earth began to be filled with a kind of magical power, as if the so-called merits were really flowing and gathering.

   Lu Bu smiled in satisfaction, and nodded to Wei Xu to express his approval.

   This smile made Wei Xu very satisfied, and at the same time he was relieved.

  Lu Bu closed his eyes slightly, trying wholeheartedly to feel the "merit" around the world, but in fact, it was just a psychological suggestion.

   It has to be said that before the special discipline of human psychology was formed, people in the religious system had already used this discipline, and achieved very good results.

  Actually, the psychology in this religious system is also a manifestation of human beings’ own stressful self-help behavior. Just like the barbarian army, it belongs to one body with two sides, which has advantages and disadvantages.

  The earliest religious behavior was to eliminate the influence of various incomprehensible natural phenomena encountered by human beings, and even treat various psychological diseases such as anxiety, anxiety, and panic caused by it. This kind of religious ceremonies, sometimes held by collective units such as countries, nations, city-states, and villages, whether they are aimed at individuals or groups, and whether they are temporary or periodic, are more or less frequent. Elimination and treatment of mental illnesses caused by various incomprehensible or catastrophic disasters, so that human beings can get spiritual comfort and maintain social stability.

  Lu Bu actually has a mental problem, although he definitely doesn't admit it. He is very powerful in military strength, but because of his innate and acquired factors, his knowledge has not increased much. After all, human energy and time are limited, and Lu Bu spends a lot of time on martial arts. In practice, naturally there is not much time to study, and there is no way to develop the habit of absorbing new knowledge.

  Many things, when Lu Bu was in a low position, he didn't have much requirements, but after he ascended to a high position, he found that he was lacking. It's like you would never ask a street sweeper to solve calculus equations, but when you reach the level of a mathematics professor, you can't say that you can't even understand function equations.

  The problem is that Lu Bu is extremely concerned about saving face, and refuses to talk about difficulties. Lu Bu felt that if he said what he didn't understand, it would be better to kill him. Under such circumstances, Lu Bu naturally had some problems in his heart, and religion just made up for his needs. It's like many people knowing that the chance of winning the lottery is lower than the probability of being in a car accident, and they still buy lottery tickets knowing that there are fake lottery tickets. In fact, they are more seeking a humble psychological comfort.

   Wanting to get something for nothing is the most superficial desire of human beings.

   Huge altar.

  Countless banners.

  In the surrounding area, there are many Xihai residents, ordinary people, barbarian traders, etc. Some people stare blankly, some chant scriptures along with them, and some people just feel happy to be together, and then yell loudly...

   On one side of the open space of the altar, all kinds of food are piled up, and a row of bonfires are set up next to it, and copper kettles are hung to cook.

  The flames billowed, the heat billowed, twisting the air.

  The hot soup in the cauldron is surging, exuding a sweet smell.

   On one side of these cooking fires, under the colored banners representing the gods, were dazed and quivering cattle.

  They are trapped hands and feet, and they are about to usher in their "sacrifice"...

  It is the habit of the Han people to kill three animals and pay homage to the gods.

  Speaking of it, can this puja with prayers, consolations, and prayers be able to kill?

  However, can anyone tell Wei Xu what the process of this puja is?

   Obviously not, so of course Wei Xu proceeded according to his own understanding and his own arrangement.

  Those eminent monks may understand, but they may not understand, but no matter whether they understand or do not understand, their eyes are closed and they have the right to pretend that they did not see it.

   It doesn't matter whether you kill or not, what matters is that the general likes it...

   Paoding sharpened his knives, and then walked towards the **** animals.

   Cattle, sheep and dolphin.

   It seems that it is at this moment that they have determined their own destiny. These bulls, goats and dolphins either started to call, or shed tears silently, and some struggled violently, but they still couldn't change anything. They were lifted up and placed on the chopping board, and then, amidst the cheers of the crowd, they were pierced into the body by sharp knives, the skin was cut, the flesh was cut, the bones were removed, or they were pierced on willow branches. Served on the grill, or thrown into a soup kettle and stewed.

  Many onlookers shed tears of excitement from the corners of their mouths, cheering for Lu Bu's official position and praising Wei Xu's arrangement.

  Blood was spreading along the chopping board area, reflecting in the firelight on the faces of everyone around.

  Listen to these cheers and watch the lively scene.

   Lu Bu is very satisfied.

  When Wei Xu saw that Lu Bu was satisfied, he was naturally satisfied too.

  The eminent monks who were chanting saw that the Han leaders in Xihai City were satisfied, and they were also satisfied.

Ordinary people in Xihai City, Hu people and Han people, have fun to watch and meat to eat. Even if each person may only get a piece of meat the size of a finger and a small bowl of soup, it is free, and of course they are satisfied. …

  Everyone is satisfied, and everyone ignores the howling and pain of the bound and beheaded cattle, sheep and dolphins.

   Pray with killing, pray with blood.

  On the altar, the solemn monk chanted.

  Under the altar, serious Lu Bu lowered his head.

   Ah, immeasurable merit!

  The autumn wind gently brushed over Lu Bu's face, and it seemed to bring some fragrance faintly.

   It's like returning to Jiuyuan, lying on the grassland.

  Lv Bu closed his eyes, feeling the unknown so-called merit, the noise in his ears seemed to be fading away, and a feeling of isolation from the world also faintly rose in his heart.

   Lu Bu exhaled a long breath slightly. All these years ago, fighting on the battlefield, like the current comfortable life, made Lu Bu a little strange and a little yearning.

  In the future...

  Suddenly there was an abnormal noise in the distance, disturbing Lu Bu's thoughts.

   Lu Bu frowned, and before he could say anything, he heard Wei Xu yelling in a low voice, "What are you doing? Ah, what are you doing? ! Didn't you see that the chief guardian is practicing and praying for blessings...』

  Lv Bu stood up, turned around, and saw several blood-stained soldiers from the military academy, he couldn't help but thumped in his heart, stunned for a moment, and asked, "What's wrong?" 』

  Wei Xu hurriedly said loudly: "Report to my lord, it's okay, it's okay!" It's just some messy thieves who want to disturb the lord's ceremony! Just leave it to me to do it! My lord's merits and virtues are important! 』

  『The Great Protector! ’ The soldier from the military academy yelled, then lowered his head under Wei Xu’s eyes that were almost bursting into flames, “Uh…”

After such a long period of time, Wei Xu still knows Lu Bu very well, because Lu Bu is as brave as a ghost on the battlefield, so for soldiers, he has a strong personality and is very popular with his subordinates. Not everything about Lu Bu.

   In fact, Lu Bu was also suspicious.

   At the beginning, Lu Bu was actually easy to believe in others, but after he went through a series of unpredictable, cruel and **** power struggles, he changed somewhat. At the same time, because his military power is basically in a super state, it is inevitable that he has some high self-esteem.

  Anyway, no one else can beat him, so some people use tricks and tricks to fight head-on!

  This kind of arrogance caused by his high self-esteem may be the reason why Lu Bu kept changing his allegiance. Even if the distance is far, I still feel that the other party is very powerful, but when the distance is close, I feel that it is just the same.

  The most important point is that Lu Bu is unwilling to admit defeat.

In the early years in the desert, Lu Bu was called the Wolf King, not only because of his bravery, but also because he held vengeance like a wolf king, fierce, ruthless and vengeful. The good thing is that the next time I don't know when it will make a comeback, so ordinary barbarians in the desert are afraid of Lu Bu. Because he refused to admit defeat, sometimes Lu Bu would inevitably find excuses to excuse himself and blame others.

  Wei Xu wanted to hide it, but obviously failed.

   Lu Bu gave Wei Xu a sidelong glance, "What's the matter? Did you stop listening to me? 』

  Wei Xu shivered for a moment, then lowered his head, "Subordinates dare not..."

  Wei Xu just wanted to cover up one or two things, and it was also to preserve his own subconscious instinctive reaction. Seeing that Lu Bu was angry, he realized that he was self-defeating.

  Wei Xu could only retreat.

   But the question is, what should I do now?

  Wei Xu's back was covered with cold sweat.

   Wei Xu's martial arts is not good, so he is not an opponent at all in Lu Bu's heart, and he will not have the mind to compete. This is Wei Xu's advantage, but it is also his disadvantage. Lu Bu would not really regard Wei Xu as an opponent, but also would not really think that Wei Xu was a powerful assistant, more of a helper, or...

   Dog legs.

   The attitude towards dog legs, of course, is to **** twice when you are free, very happy.

   When you are not in the mood, it is annoying to watch.

  Wei Xu didn't dare to touch Lu Bu's bad luck, and the military academy who came to report the news from the other side also vaguely sensed something was wrong, so he hesitated and dared not say anything. I used to think that the military situation should not be delayed, and nothing is as big as the military situation, but now when I ran in front of Lu Bu, I suddenly realized that it would not be too good to say these things on this occasion...

   This is almost like playing a video of someone having a party and **** when they hold a banquet and a wedding!

  Before Wei Xu sent his eyes to speak, Lu Bu became a little impatient, "Say! what happened? ! 』

  The military academy soldiers who came to report looked at each other in dismay, then gritted their teeth, fell to the ground, and told the news that the Changcheng camp was attacked by horse thieves, broke and the general disappeared.

  Lv Bu listened, his face gradually turned livid.

   This crackling sounded like a slap in the face to him!

   And there's more than one!

   After a while, Wei Xu and the others saw that Lu Bu hadn't spoken, so they secretly raised their heads and took a look, only to see Lu Bu laugh back in anger, "Hahaha, hahahahaha..."

   Want something bad!

Wei Xu didn't feel relaxed just because Lu Bu smiled. His face was extremely pale. Based on his understanding of Lu Bu, if Lu Bu immediately scolded, kicked, or even whipped a few times, it wouldn't be too big a deal. If you have been scolded, beaten, or smoked, this matter is considered to be over, but if there is no movement for a long time, or if you laugh like you are now, when it really explodes, the problem will be serious.

  Last time, regarding the matter of Chen Gong, Lu Bu did the same. At the beginning, there was no movement, his face was gloomy, and then he suddenly exploded and hacked Chen Gong to death...

  When Wei Xu thought of this, his eyes rolled wildly. He had to find an outlet for Lu Bu to vent his anger, otherwise Lu Bu's anger might burn on him!

  『The Great Protector! We fell for it! Wei Xu shouted loudly, "General Gao, and Chang Sima, I'm afraid they fell into the enemy's trap. Now that the odds are getting worse, it must be Guishuang... Yes, it is the trick of Guishuang people!" 』

The soldiers of the military academy who came to report the news were not aware of Gao Shun's situation, but in their view, since the horse thieves were able to "massively" invade their camp, it proved that Gao Shun was probably gone, at least like Chang Cheng 'disappeared'.

  Because Gao Shun and Chang Cheng were nowhere to be found, and in the end Chang Cheng himself ordered the retreat, so everyone speculated whether the "missing" Chang Cheng had received any news and had to order the retreat...

  Such speculation is of course reasonable.

  The most important thing is that the speculation of the military academy can ensure that they will not be charged with fleeing the battle and abandoning the general.

  The retreat was a military order issued by Chang Cheng, and they just obeyed the military order.

  As for why Chang Cheng gave such an order, they didn't know, they just knew that after being attacked, they didn't see Chang Cheng...

   This series of events was outlined in Wei Xu's mind, and then they were connected with each other, forming a "truth" in his opinion!

   Lu Bu suppressed his anger, and popped out a few words from between his teeth, "Speak, clearly, clearly!" 』

  『Da Duhu, look, the people of Guishuang didn’t follow their good intentions, and even General Gao and I fell for it! Everyone fell for it! ”Wei Xu felt that his brain had never been spinning at such a high speed like today, “General Gao’s martial arts, Da Duhu also knows it! Now that even General Gao is trapped, it shows that these horse thieves are not easy! No matter how ordinary horse thieves are, it is impossible for them to have such abilities! So there must be foreign enemies, and the biggest foreign enemy in the Western Regions is Guishuang in the west! If you are from Guishuang, you must be from Guishuang! They devised the whole scheme, they deceived us, they deceived the Great Protector! 』

  『Youshuang! ’ Lu Bu let out a huge, angry howl, ‘Everyone deserves to be hacked to death! 』

  Yes, Wei Xu was right.

   Wei Xu would not believe Chang Cheng's rebellion. That kid has the guts to be greedy for money, but he absolutely has no guts to rebel.

   Lu Bu would not believe Gao Shun's rebellion. That guy Gao Shun is like a steel knife. Not to mention rebellion, even if he turns a little bit more flexibly, it is impossible.

   If it was said that it was Fei Qian's problem, no one would believe it. After all, the attack came from the west, not the east.

  So there can only be foreign enemies, and Guishuang is undoubtedly the biggest suspect.

Most of the people around were aware of the situation, so they couldn't help but fell silent. Only the monks in the distance were still immersed in the chanting. …

   Lu Bu cast his gaze over.

  『Guishan people! ’ Lu Bu suddenly pointed at those monks and roared, ‘A few days ago you talked about Buddhism and told me what merits you want, are you from Guishuang? Was it sent by Guishuang? ! 』

  Wei Xu was taken aback for a moment, "It seems...it seems to be..."

   Those monks rest in peace?

   Or Guishuang?

  Wei Xu doesn’t remember much, but no matter which one, one thing is certain, it’s all from Fanbang, so what if those monks didn’t tell the truth? What if all of this was really arranged by those Guishuang people?

Seeing that Wei Xu also expressed "sure", Lu Bu became more and more angry. The thing he hated the most in his life was being deceived by others. After all, Lu Bu's intelligence value is relatively low. If he leads the army alone, he will suffer from false reports or something just run off...

  『If so, kill him! ’ Lu Bu pointed at the monks on the altar and roared angrily, ‘How dare you bully me! 』
