Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1607 Future and Wealth

Raise your gaze high and pull it to the clouds, human beings are just ants on a small ball, fighting for territory and killing each other, while the sun and the moon are just indifferent bystanders. Although the earth itself is a battlefield, but The earth's skin is too thick, like the mud layer on a wild boar's armor. Whether it is covered with moss or crawling with ants, I don't even notice it. It is still sleeping soundly, only moving occasionally.

At a distance of 110 miles from Dazuo, Liu Bei finally arrived with his troops.

The mountain road on this road is indeed difficult to walk, quite difficult to walk.

Liu Bei once thought that he was the ultimate mountain road when he walked from Jingxiang to Badong, but he didn't expect that from the middle of Sichuan to Dazhuo, it was more difficult and bitter than the previous one!

Before Jingxiang went to Badong, although it was difficult, but after all, there is a road that has been dug by the ancestors, no matter how bad it is, there is a direction, and you know where to go, but the road to Dazhuo is basically no road. What kind of mountain road for pedestrians, naturally there is no ready-made route, step by step, you need to cut down the vines, sweep the weeds, and find out bit by bit...

Even if I found a guide, I still took the fork twice. Once I reached the edge of the cliff and had to go back again. The other time was when the ice and snow on the mountain stream melted in spring and the water was so fast that I had to take a detour.

In addition to the difficulties on the road, there is also the difficulty of resupply.Fortunately, Fei Qian equipped Liu Bei with a lot of wheelbarrows. This kind of transportation suitable for transferring grain and grass between mountain roads is indeed a great help.

Then there are all kinds of insects and snakes...

Once, when Liu Bei was camping by the forest, he saw two Danyang soldiers with his own eyes. After dawn, they were still leaning on the tree trunk, with their eyes closed. When he died, the armor on his body was lifted off, and his chest, abdomen, hands, and legs were covered with insects that were swollen by sucking, palm-length, and two or three fingers wide!
He was sucked dry by insects overnight and died!

Liu Bei was so frightened that all his pores exploded, and he was out of his wits.

Ever since, Liu Bei no longer dared to be greedy for roads, and immediately obediently looked for a clean campsite when the time came, cleaned the ground, scattered medicine and lit a bonfire to drive away insects...

But it was also because of this that Liu Bei's footsteps couldn't get up quickly, and he was only close to Da Ruo today.

If the people of later generations who are tired of looking at cement and high-rise buildings come here, they will probably feel relaxed and happy, the air is fresh, and the beautiful mountains and rivers are so charming, and the various greens in the eyes are so pleasant...

However, in Liu Bei's eyes, the mountains and the mountains and the mountains and the mountains and the mountains and the mountains and the mountains are full of rocks, the streams below the mountains are gurgling, it is very annoying, and the insects in the forest are frightening when spring comes. This kind of scenery is as annoying as it is boring.

But this kind of area is really a paradise in the world.

Even the beasts are silly and cute. When they see people, they stand and look at them stupidly. It is not until they see people picking up swords, guns and arrows that they instinctively feel that something is wrong. By the time they turn around and want to run, it is too late. up...

Among the mountains and forests, there are not many stones and bare ground that completely avoid bugs, but if you look carefully, there are still some. After experiencing the horrible incident of blood-sucking bugs, Liu Bei is very careful and would rather shorten the trip than take various risks. After all, there are only these Danyang soldiers left under his subordinates now. If these Danyang soldiers are lost again and again, then let alone anything else, I am afraid that the life alone will not be easy...

This time, Liu Bei set out faster than Li Hui who was in Jianzhong, but now that he was approaching Dazuo, Liu Bei didn't know whether Li Hui and others had rushed ahead of him, and he didn't even know the surrounding area. Exactly what happened to the Ruo people, everything is unknown.

Liu Bei called Zhang Fei, looked at the surrounding mountains, pondered for a while and said, "Third brother, let's not move for the next two days and set up a camp here... What do you think?"

Liu Bei was worried that if he walked towards Da Ruo, he might enter the attack range of the Ruo people, and Liu Bei didn't know what he would encounter in this direction, and whether there was any ambush, so he couldn't judge. Whether it is dangerous, so setting up a camp here, and then using it as a stronghold, is also a move to ensure your own safety to a certain extent.

But what Liu Bei is worried about now is that Li Hui and others are more familiar with the terrain of Sichuan and Shu than himself, and they have no help from others. When someone gets to the front and takes the first place in Da Ruo, what is left?

Therefore, Liu Bei was very contradictory, and wanted to hear Zhang Fei's suggestion.

"Here?" Zhang Fei turned his head and looked around, "It's not bad here, with a mountain on its back and a water source next to it, it's a good place to set up a village, but it's a little far away from time to time?"

Liu Bei also nodded and said, "It's a little farther away, but it shouldn't be disturbed by the Ruo people... and the biggest problem is that side..."

General Zhengxi said that whoever arrives at Daruo first will be in charge of the development of Daruo, and relying on such an iron mine will undoubtedly provide a steady stream of wealth and armor, which is the greatest thing for Liu Bei. temptation.

Well, that's right, after Liu Bei dispatched troops, he still didn't know that Zhengxi was promoted to Hussar...

"Brother, how about this..." Zhang Fei proposed a compromise plan, and said, "You bring people to set up a stronghold here, and I will take some people to go ahead to investigate first, so there will be no delay... What do you think big brother?"

"Third brother, you go forward to investigate?" Liu Bei frowned, and turned to look at Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Don't worry, brother, I know, be careful, I understand!"

"This..." Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei's thinned cheeks, sighed slightly, then patted Zhang Fei's shoulder and said, "Third brother, be careful! Don't be careless. If there is something abnormal, I would rather go back and leave it alone. Do not venture in!"

"Understood, brother!" Zhang Fei nodded.

"Later, I will distribute some supplies for you, and bring more insecticides, felt blankets, machetes, etc..." Liu Bei suddenly saw a hole in the boot on Zhang Fei's foot. A part of the ankle was exposed, and he couldn't help but take off the boots on his feet, "Why don't you change a pair if it's broken? Come on, put on mine first..."

"Brother, can I still wear this..." Zhang Fei refused.

"Just wear it for you, don't talk nonsense!" Liu Bei pretended to be angry, "Give it to me first, I'll be here for the past two days, just have time to mend it!"

"Hey..." Zhang Fei's needle-like beard trembled, then he lowered his head, took off his boot with a hole in it, took Liu Bei's boot with both hands, looked at Liu Bei, and stood with one bare foot , I don't know what to say.

Liu Bei put Zhang Fei's torn boots on. Seeing that Zhang Fei was still standing stupidly, he frowned and said, "Put them on quickly! It's almost time to patrol the camp... Let's go..."

Zhang Fei was stunned, and then saw Liu Bei walking forward, Fang woke up, put on his boots quickly, and followed behind Liu Bei...

The setting sun scattered brilliance from the side of the mountain, shining on this area, and also cast a layer of halo on Liu Bei's figure.

Near the rocks, there are some scattered wild peach and plum trees, and some unknown trees, which also bloomed flowers in this season, swaying gracefully in the misty mountains.

Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei, watched, and suddenly felt as if he had returned to the moment when he was in Zhuo County, under the peach blossoms all over the sky...

Back then, I followed Liu Bei for the sake of the future of the three of us, for our loftier ideals, but now even though we have a long way to go, we still have our elder brother here, so we still have a future and our ideals...

"What's the matter?" Liu Bei turned his head, the smile on his face was still as gentle as before, "Why are you walking so slowly? Are the boots not fitting? I remember that the three of us are all about the same size?"

"No! It's quite suitable!" Zhang Fei also smiled, "Brother, I'll come right away!"

................................................

On the other route to Daruo, the troops from Jianning also stayed. A group of people were standing high in the mountains, above the banners fluttering in the wind, there was a big "Li" character.

"People of my generation, if you want to have a foundation, you must get the iron of the big iron!" Li Hui saw the figure of Yuan Yue, the king of the king coming from a distance, and said to his nephew in a low voice, "If you want to get Big Rue, you need someone to help you, it's worth the time wasted..."

In fact, Li Hui and the others didn't leave quickly, because they spent the first time looking for Yuan Yueyi, who had been hiding in the mountains before.Like the Zo people, they are barbarians who are accustomed to walking in the mountains. For Li Hui and others who have been in Sichuan and Shu for a long time, there is naturally no better person than the Zo people if they want to resist the Zo people.

Among the scorpions, some of them took refuge in Fei Qian, so naturally they could no longer be used by Li Hui and others, so the only one that could be used was Yuan Yue, who fled the battlefield back then.

The battle between Yuan Yue and Fei Qian back then was indeed nothing to praise, but on the other hand, the people in Sichuan and Shu were not very tenacious, so there was no need to laugh at half a hundred steps.

At the beginning, Yuanyue, the king of swindlers, didn't believe that Fei Qian had acquired Sichuan and Shu, and he didn't even believe that Fei Qian would pardon him for his previous actions with Liu Zhang. He lures out to remove...

This kind of thing is not unheard of, so Yuan Yue, the concubine Wang, was skeptical, until Li Hui came in person, he was a little relieved, and formally met with Li Hui.

"Jian Ren Wang, are you here all right?" Li Hui laughed and greeted Yuan Yue.

Yuan Yue looked around, as if to observe whether there was any dangerous aura of weapons, and then responded: "Xiao Wang has seen Li Shijun..."

There are no luxurious places in the mountains. A mat is placed on a slightly flat stone, and then a curtain or two is wrapped around the mat, which is quite good.

Li Hui guided Yuan Yue into the curtain, and said, "Since Sichuan and Shu are all under the Western Conquest, you and I belong to the same family, so you don't have to be so polite... Come, please sit, please sit..."

On the table on the mat, there were some things like dried meat and dried fruits. Li Hui invited Yuan Yue to eat them, but Yuan Yue shook his head, and instead of eating these things, he said directly: "Emissary Li, we If you have something to say, just tell me, what is the purpose of you coming to me?"

Li Hui originally squeezed a dried fruit and was about to eat it. Seeing that Yuan Yue said it so directly, he was not angry, so he squeezed the dried fruit in his hand, smiled, and said: "King Jin, we have met several times before. , but I have never had a chance to sit down and have a good talk... Today, let’s not talk about anything else, I am a little curious about one thing... I wonder if the king of the people has thought about the future of the nobles?"

"The future?" Yuan Yue frowned, then put it down immediately, and said with a big laugh, "We are all rough people, how do we know what the future is or not, if we can live a day, it is a day, and every day is very happy ! Haha, hahaha..."

"Oh? That's true?" Li Hui didn't reveal it, but just put the dried fruit in his mouth into his mouth, and said in a vague way while chewing, "But the other Jinren Wang has a better life than you... ..."

Yuan Yue smiled and stared at Li Hui.

Li Hui was not in a hurry, he spit out the core of the dried fruit with a "poof", then pointed to the bean plate and said, "This taste is really good, you might as well try it..."

Yuan Yue looked at Li Hui, then at the bean dish, finally squeezed a dried fruit, threw it into his mouth, and turned his head to the other side, as if looking at the surrounding scenery.

Li Hui said slowly: "We Han people, it's actually the same. The former leader... Well, it's not bad, but it's not good enough. He led us to fight, but... Hey! So, we just thought about it." Changing a leader, changing a leader who can make our Han people in Sichuan and Shu can live better, get richer, have more food, and wear more clothes... This is also human nature... "

Yuan Yue's face gradually darkened.

"Everyone has some ideals, and they have to think about the future..." Li Hui continued, "Even if it's not for myself, I will think about it for my own children... Just like me, now I also want to do things for the next generation." A generation of clansmen think about it, and they can't let these children and grandchildren live a poor life, right? If this is really the case, will these children and grandchildren still want it? Will they follow us?"

"But..." Yuan Yue stared at Li Hui and said, "But what you Han people want is what you Han people want to kill with your life! It's always you Han people who take advantage of it, but what you Han people want is our blood!"

Li Hui raised his head and laughed, "What? Is there any good thing in this world where you can sit back and enjoy what you get without risking your life? Isn't it true that everyone in the world is a parent who only pays without asking for anything in return? You people risk your life to kill , We Han people have never fought for our lives? We Sichuan and Shu people have fought against Zhengxi before! On these battlefields, the people of Sichuan and Shu who died are not alive? If you win, you will naturally have everything. If you lose Yes, and of course I have to admit it! The King of Renren, you must know the current affairs..."

Wang Yuanyue seemed to feel that there was something wrong with Li Hui's words, but he couldn't tell the difference, and he couldn't say it out. He frowned, and after a moment of silence, he said, "This time, what do you Han people want to do?" ?”

"Of course it's for a better future..." Li Hui smiled very kindly, "Of course, it's also a big fortune for the King of the King..."
