Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2856 One Thing
Gao Shun's complexion was very bad.

He has not rested for a long time.

After Gao Shun defeated Wusun and Che Shi Hou Guo's allied forces, there was no reason to move forward.

Gao Shun asked the surrendered Wusun Xiaowang to come forward to gather the broken Wusun troops, and then incorporated them into the same broken vassal army, and then returned to the West Sea.

Because of the existence of Wusun Xiaowang, those Wusun people who came after him hesitated, and they didn't know whether to chase or stay, and Gao Shun deliberately retreated in an orderly manner, which also made those Wusun people suspicious. He didn't dare to get too close, and after those Wusun people reoccupied his tunnel, he refused to move forward.

After coming down from his tunnel, Gao Shun's altitude sickness was slightly relieved, but the exhaustion of his body did not completely recover from it.When his vanguard arrived around Xihai City, he learned about Zhang Liao's arrival, and he also knew about the great changes taking place in Xihai City.

Many officials were killed and their heads were hung on the city wall.

Originally, those officials thought that without them there would be chaos, but it did not happen, or it was not as serious as they imagined. Because of the continuous operation of a few officials such as Zhang An, Xihai City survived the most chaotic situation at the beginning. a period of time.

Later, Han Guo came from Longyou with some civil officials and soldiers. He and Meng Hua built the civil and military core of Xihai City, which gradually turned the chaotic situation into order.

order.

This is the most fundamental foundation of human society.

All laws, all morality, all hierarchies are based on order.

The establishment of the new order in Xihai City, of course, means the exit of the old order.

Gao Shun was happy, but also worried.

He was worried about Lu Bu.

Gao Shun is not good at expressing.He is more used to using actions to explain some problems, just like he is training soldiers, he can do it first, and then ask the soldiers to follow him to do it.But people who are not good at expressing are very disadvantaged.

Because people need to communicate.Although they are both human beings and belong to the same subjects, because of the inconsistency between the conscious body and the physical body, human beings must communicate if they want to maintain order, establish cooperation, and so on.The more effective the communication, the more it can reduce the loss in the collaboration process.

It is a pity that Gao Shun wanted to communicate, but he didn't know what to say, and he didn't know where to start. Meng Hua and Han Guo's suspicions.

Gao Shun is a good man, a pure soldier, and a straight man who doesn't know how to express himself.After that impression was drawn by the horse monkey, most people would appreciate him, but the problem is that to Meng Hua and Han Guo, Gao Shun was similar to a stranger, and he was also a stranger who was loyal to Lu Bu, so Meng Hua Hua and Han Guo's attitude towards Gao Shun was guarded, speculative, and skeptical.

Even Meng Hua had worked with Gao Shun for a short time before, but it doesn't mean that Meng Hua can have much friendship with Gao Shun, can exchange ideas smoothly or something else...

The barracks outside the city of Xihai City was originally suppressed by Zhang Liao, so naturally he listened to Zhang Liao, and later Zhang Liao handed it over to Menghua, and later Han came over, forming a situation where Han Guo dominated the city and Mongolian Hua dominated outside the city. Civil and military core, now that Gao Shun is back, it is inappropriate for Gao Shun to stay in the city, and it is even more inappropriate to stay outside the city.

So Gao Shun simply brought some people to find Lu Bu to return to his command.He didn't want to have any conflict with Menghua or Han Guo, and he also felt that he shouldn't hinder Menghua and Han Guo.

After all, Gao Shun also knew that Xihai City should have been rectified a long time ago.

This kind of rectification will inevitably be dissatisfied by Lu Bu...

Gao Shun was very worried.

Lu Bu's character is like a wolf, but the wolf also has some characteristics of a dog, such as territory.Gao Shun knew that the renovation of Xihai City was a good thing for Xihai, and even for the Western Regions, but for Lv Bu, Lv Bu might have felt that his territory had been violated more, so Gao Shun was going to return to his life, and at the same time Try to persuade Lu Bu as much as possible.

But when Gao Shun led his troops into Yanqi's surroundings, he discovered something was wrong.

In the past, the surrounding area of ​​Yanqi was biased towards the big Han.

It's different now.

This feeling is very strange, as if officials in Shandong have stopped collecting money.

After entering the land of Yanqi, the surrounding Hu people will cast some meaningful glances.And this situation became more and more serious after leaving Yanqi and entering the border of Kucha.The Kucha people regard the Han people as their enemies, harassing and assassinating them frantically and at all costs, no matter day or night.

Even though Gao Shun had already experienced this kind of treatment when he entered Che Shi Hou Country, the warmness of this "welcome" in Kucha Kingdom still shocked Gao Shun.

Gao Shun sent scattered forward scouts, and after entering the Kucha Kingdom, they suffered more than ten attacks, sneak attacks, traps, and deceptions in less than two days.The scale of the attack ranged from a few people to a dozen people, and at most hundreds of people. They were all similar to suicide attacks, howling in incomprehensible words, regardless of life and death.

Moreover, the Kucha people are more familiar with their own land than the Han people, so the Kucha people know where to camp, where to have drinking water, or where to set traps.

The forward scouts dispatched by Gao Shun fished out rotten cattle and sheep in the water source more than once, dug up the buried animal traps in the shelter from the wind, and the wooden thorns covered with feces in the traps...

Gao Shun's forward scouts counterattacked angrily, and followed the trail to find the tribe of the Kucha people. But when Gao Shun arrived, he found that the tribe of Kucha was mostly old, young, women and children, and there were no young men.

Where did these young and strong men in the Kucha tribe go?The answer is obvious.

It was only then that Gao Shun realized that the problems in the Western Regions were not as simple as he had imagined before, nor did it mean that reading a few words in books and knowing some scriptures would lead to some ingenious strategies for governing the country.

Hussar's words are correct...

Killing people doesn't solve the problem, it just makes it worse.Only a stupid guy thinks that killing people is the best way, just like thinking that a person with a big fist can travel all over the world.

Gao Shun couldn't help thinking, what is the reason why Yanqi, who was originally friendly with the big Han, began to hate the Han people, and made these tribesmen in Kucha fight against the Han people with their last breath?

Where did the Kucha people go wrong?
Similarly, where did the Han people go wrong?
Gao Shun vaguely had some ideas, but he quickly controlled these divergent thoughts.He believes that as a soldier, one should not think too much about these political issues.This is not the duty of a soldier, and if a soldier is too involved in politics, he is often not so pure a soldier.

Gao Shun knew that this was because Lu Bu slaughtered a large number of Kucha people in Kucha, as well as killing monks and destroying Buddhas. It was placed on Lu Bu, and then extended from Lu Bu to the Han people.

What one does, must be done by all.

It's not fair, but it's also fair.

The reverse is also the same.

When a group of people do things, there is often one person who resists everything in the end.

In the face of new changes, Gao Shun made military adjustments. Based on his previous experience in Cheshi Houguo, he sped up his speed, and no longer sent out small troops of scouts alone, but gathered as many troops as possible in Act together and avoid being slowed down by these intrusions along the way.

Sure enough, when seeing the large army marching, although the eyes of these Qiuci people still projected hatred, but seeing that Gao Shun had a large number of people, they dispelled the idea of ​​intrusion, and it was relatively safer.

But in this way, Gao Shun had no way to send scouts out.

Of course, this is not too much of a problem.

After all, with Lu Bu blocking the front, the whole road is relatively safe.

Gao Shun walked in a hurry.

Because Gao Shun was worried about irreconcilable disputes between Zhang Liao and Lu Bu.

Zhang Liao's actions in Xihai City can be said to have slapped Lu Bu in the face, but according to Lu Bu's own arrogant temperament, how could he hold back?Gao Shun actually understood Lu Bu's thoughts, because he felt that Lu Bu was similar to him to some extent, and was not good at politics.

But the problem is that Gao Shun can put aside politics and concentrate on being a soldier, but Lu Bu cannot.Lu Bu is like a child who knows he has to study hard, but holds a toy in his hand, and is in great pain.

Gao Shun felt that this time might be an opportunity to let Lu Bu put down some things in his hands and relax a bit.

Of course, the premise is that Lu Bu and Zhang Liao must not fight...

Gao Shun rushed to the vicinity of Qiu Ci, originally thinking that he would go to Qiu Ci after dawn the next day, but after nightfall, a fire suddenly ignited in the direction of Qiu Ci city!

The blazing fire shines on the four fields!

Gao Shun was taken aback, he subconsciously thought that what he was worried about had exploded!

He felt that there must be a fight between Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, otherwise how could there be a fire in the well-behaved city of Qiuci?

The thick and mellow night in the sky covered everything.

In the wilderness, the torches flickered, flickering, as if stars had fallen to the ground, and the sky and the earth were turned upside down.

The earth backed away swiftly under the hooves of the horses.

Looking at the scene of raging flames in the distance, Gao Shun's chest seemed to be burning too, anxious and scorching hot.

Once Lu Bu and Zhang Liao start fighting, let alone who wins and who loses, it will only cause subsequent shocks in the Western Regions, plus the attitude of these barbarians from the Western Regions towards the Han people who came along the way has changed...

Gao Shun stared at Qiu Cicheng in the distance, and seemed to see countless people fighting endlessly under the raging fire, with blood dripping.

"Boost!Go directly to Qiuci City! 』

Gao Shun gave orders loudly, and then drove his horse forward.Seeing that they were about to reach Qiuci City, suddenly there was a roar of killing from the side, a group of people rushed out from the wilderness, and swarmed aggressively to intercept them.If he continued to go towards the city of Qiuci, he would definitely be attacked by this group of troops, so Gao Shun could only lead the troops to turn and meet in the direction where the troops were attacking in the wilderness.

All of a sudden, Gao Shun's eardrums were filled with rumbling noises.The sound of horseshoes on both sides made the ground tremble, and the cavalry array on the opposite side showed a sharp arrow formation, leaped out of the night, and rushed straight!

Gao Shun was at the forefront, and his field of vision was completely occupied by enemy cavalry.

Gao Shun yelled, and ordered his subordinates to form a charging formation accordingly, leaving all distracting thoughts behind, and charging forward wholeheartedly.

In the distance, Qiuci City was in flames, as if all the light had been sucked there.

The light and shadow flickered, and the chaos was unbearable.

The torches that fell on the surrounding ground flickered and howled and whined under the hoofs of the horses.

Under the criss-crossing of swords and guns, the most forward soldiers of the two armies fell down with blood splashing, and the ownerless horses screamed and fled in all directions.

Gao Shun suddenly felt that something was wrong...

Before Gao Shun could figure out what was going on, following a sharp sound of breaking wind, a man and a horse rushed out from the darkness directly in front, and the weapons in their hands rushed towards him like a giant python!

The sharp cold light flickered and hit Gao Shun's chest!
The aroused wind pressure was like a boulder rolled up in the air, hitting Gao Shun directly, making Gao Shun's breathing feel a little constricted!

Gao Shun held his breath, shot upwards with a backhand shot, and leaned slightly to the left, trying to defuse the opponent's blow, but he didn't expect that such a thrust would fail!
Gao Shun quickly changed his body shape, changed his center of gravity, and at the same time changed his long spear to unloading, pushing away the oncoming pressure.

In the blink of an eye, Gao Shun saw the man's weapon clearly...

Fang Tian draws a halberd!

"Big protector! ” Gao Shun subconsciously shouted, “Lu Fengxian! 』

The first thing Gao Shun called out was Lu Bu's official position...

Lu Bu didn't recognize Gao Shun at the first time, even when Gao Shun yelled out for the first time.Because on the one hand, it is in the dark night, with light and shadow flickering, and on the other hand, Gao Shun's appearance has changed due to illness, which is completely different from Lu Bu's previous impression...

It wasn't until the second sound of "Lu Fengxian" came to his ears that Lu Bu regained his senses from the rage and recognized Gao Shun, but it was such a moment of slowness that made it impossible for Lu Bu to take back the already hacked Fang Tian painted the halberd, just turned the direction of Fang Tian's painted halberd as much as possible, turning chopping into shooting.

According to common sense, or according to Lu Bu's impression, this kind of strength and smoothness should be able to block it...

should……

After all, Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and the others often practiced martial arts together when they were free. Even Gao Shun blocked moves that were sharper and more ferocious than this.

then……

And now is neither should, nor was it then.

Gao Shun was originally injured, coupled with the altitude sickness in Che Shi Houguo, although it is not fatal, it cannot be said that he will recover in a short time. In addition, he did not stay in Xihai City to recuperate, but he was in a hurry. I rushed to Qiuci, so whether it is energy, concentration, or physical strength, they have actually dropped a lot.

Although Gao Shun tried his best to block it, he did not block it.

The spear flew out of his hand.

Although Lu Bu realized something was wrong at the last moment and tried to pull back, it was too late.

Fang Tian's halberd continued to castrate, and it slapped Gao Shun's body.

The armor on Gao Shun's body flew out, his body bent sideways, and then fell off the horse's back.

Gao Shun spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Ahhh..." Lu Bu yelled, and then he pulled the reins vigorously, trying to slow down the horse.But he had already missed Gao Shun, and ran forward according to his inertia.

The guards following Lu Bu didn't have time to react. They followed Lu Bu according to their original habits, original tactics, and primitive instincts. Then, the horse ran into Gao Shun...

Gao Shun spat out a second mouthful of blood.

Lu Bu howled like crazy, "Stop!Stop it all! 』

He waved the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, and smashed all the knives and guns around.

Fang Tian's painted halberd made a shrill whistling sound, like a trapped animal howling.

"stop it! Lu Bu roared, roaring, not knowing why he was angry, or just angry because of anger, "Stop it all!stop! 』

The brief fighting stopped, but the casualties caused by it were impossible to recover.

Lu Bu returned to the horse, and then ran to Gao Shun's place, and even staggered a little when he jumped off the horse.

"Bopin!Bopin! ”Lu Bu rushed forward and held Gao Shun in his arms, “You...why are you? !how……"

Lu Bu had too many questions, but at the moment Lu Bu didn't know what to ask. He reached out his hand to wipe away the blood Gao Shun spit out, and howled, "Doctor, where is the doctor?" !Physician! 』

The army doctor at the back of the queue rushed forward and shouted: "Fire!Help me light the fire!I need to see clearly! 』

Someone hurriedly picked up the torch that had fallen on the ground and moved closer.

Under the light of the fire, Gao Shun's face was as pale as snow.

The doctor eagerly examined Gao Shun's injury, and every time he looked at it, the doctor's forehead became more sweaty, and the blood on his face turned paler.

"puff……"

Gao Shun spat out the third mouthful of blood.

Gao Shun's blood splashed on Lu Bu's face, and his body was like hot oil falling down, making Lu Bu tremble uncontrollably, "Boping, Boping...doctor!You save him quickly!save him! 』

The doctor swayed under Lu Bu's pull, but remained silent, his face was pale, and he bowed his head in silence.

"It's... don't blame him..." Gao Shun seemed to grin, he didn't know if he was laughing or because of the pain, "Da Duhu, I didn't... I didn't betray you..."

Lu Bu nodded, "I know!I know! 』

Yes, Lu Bu knows now.

"Da Duhu...I have never...never begged anyone...now I beg you...please one thing..."

"Say it, say it! 』Lu Bu protects Gao Shun, just like protecting a piece of fragile ceramics.

"Go... go home..." Gao Shun said softly, even at this moment, home, this magical word, still can make his eyes show some kind of look, "go home... ...I can't go back, you can still... go home...』

"Go home..." Lu Bu was stunned, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

He had no idea that Gao Shun's request was actually this.

Come back home?

Gao Shun's eyes gradually moved from Lu Bu to the sky.

The galaxy hangs upside down.

Pure starlight.

Gao Shun stretched out a hand towards Xinghe.

Hands stained with blood and mud, but longing for the purest starlight.

But after all, I couldn't touch it...

It's like the hometown that he can never go back to.

The home that appeared several times in his dreams is now a hazy home.

Residual tiles.

earth wall.

A place that made him feel at ease.

Gao Shun breathed out his last breath, "I really want to... go home..."
