Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2901 The belly of a villain, the heart of a gentleman

Sometimes, leadership alone is not enough, you must have a team, not a group of gangs.

Otherwise, if you are not careful, even the most capable leader will be dragged down by the people in the gang.

Just like Lu Bu.

Lu Bu is far superior to ordinary people in martial arts, but what he gains is bound to be lost, and he is not even as good as ordinary people in other aspects.

He has soft ears and no opinions, and his opinion is often determined by who is the last to find him.This is a major defect in his personality, and his arrogance is a by-product of his bravery.Because no one can beat him on the battlefield, he thinks that big fists are right.

The yellow sand rolled up and roared up on the Gobi Desert, and then fell quietly.

Lu Bu looked at the yellow sand, as if he saw some figures on the battlefield in his memory.

Yumen Pass in the distance is like a grain of sand in the sky.

Lu Bu didn't expect him to come here again, just like he didn't expect Fei Qian to come to the Western Regions.

"What's that sound?" ’ Lu Bu asked.

"I don't know...like the Five Elements Thunder? ’ replied the guard.

"Five Elements Thunder..." Lu Bu frowned, he didn't think it looked like it, but he couldn't tell what it was.

The dull roar of the artillery has been transmitted here, and it has dissipated somewhat, but it still makes the surrounding horses and people feel a little depressed, just like facing the low roar of an unknown beast in the throat, the sound is not loud, full of danger.

Lu Bu was still living in the previous era, and he was dismissive of gunpowder.

Catapults and ballistas are the sharpest long-range weapons he can imagine.

Maybe add kerosene, and that's all there is to it.

He has heard of and seen the five-element mine, that is, the gunpowder grenade, but at that time the soldiers were equipped with an improved version of the first-generation grenade, which enhanced safety, and it could not even be regarded as the second-generation grenade, because there was no increase. Power, the effect of direct killing is not great.

Lu Bu even felt that on the battlefield, grenades were not as threatening as a crossbow, so he didn't care at all, and didn't try to find out more.Such a big one can fly with one pick, while the strong crossbow probably needs a shield to block it accurately.

He came to Yumen Pass, but he didn't expect that when he arrived, he would run into Fei Qian performing martial arts.

Is this intentional, or is it intentional?
Lu Bu had no expression on his face, but most of the people behind him showed mixed emotions, either bewildered, afraid, sighing, or sad.

Taixing eight years, autumn.

This may be the first Great Protector of the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty, or it may be the last Great Protector of the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty.

There are many guardians of the Western Regions, but there is only one governor of the Great Western Regions.

It's like there are many hussar generals, but there is only one hussar general.

Lu Bu rode his horse forward slowly.

In front of him, messengers have been dispatched to go to Yumen Pass first.

He is indeed somewhat reluctant, reluctant to give up the power to hold a murderous knife, the iron cavalry in the barracks, and the long years of yellow sand.

But he was also unbearable.

Because what defeated him was not the army of the enemy country, not the gods and Buddhas of the Western Regions, but himself.

his years.

his experience.

Everything he carried.

Exploiting territory, killing countless people, and becoming famous, he was very satisfied at first, but was defeated by his own heart later.

The performance of the artillery in the distance seemed to be over, and the Gobi without the roar seemed to become more and more empty. People and horses stepped on the yellow sand, making soft noises, and smoke and dust were outlined.

Suddenly, someone in Lu Bu's queue uttered a soft cry, and then pointed forward.

Ahead, smoke and dust gradually rose.

Among the smoke and dust is a banner.

The banner is not big, but it is very distinctive. It seems to be incompatible with the big man, and it seems to be closely related to the big man, because that banner is the big man's hussars tricolor flag.

The flags fluttered, as if no amount of wind, frost, rain and snow could overwhelm them, no amount of yellow sand and smoke could cover them.The wind, frost, rain, snow, yellow sand, smoke and dust seemed to be intimidated by such a banner, and they slid quietly to both sides.

Seeing the banner on that side, Lu Bu didn't know why, he exhaled a long breath, and felt a complete relaxation from his shoulders, until now he realized that in fact, he had been waiting for this person's arrival .

But at the same time, I was also afraid of this person's arrival...

The yellow sand was endless, amidst the smoke and dust, the banner stopped, revealing Fei Qian's figure.

There was a sudden silence in the desert, it seemed that even the howling of wind and sand and the snorting of war horses stopped at this moment.

Everyone looked at Fei Qian and at Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was silent, but the expression on his face fluctuated and fluctuated.At this moment, any words may not be able to accurately describe the meaning of his expression, which is complicated and confusing.

Fei Qian came to the Western Regions, and everyone thought that there was only swords and guns between Fei Qian and Lu Bu, but Lu Bu came.

Everyone thought that Fei Qian would be waiting for Lu Bu to visit him, but Fei Qian came instead.

In the silence, Xu Chu, who followed Fei Qian, watched Lu Bu's every move closely.

Tai Shici immediately stood by Fei Qian's side, holding a halberd in his hand, looked at Lu Bu with a frown and said, "What does this guy want to do here? 』

Xu Chu glanced at Tai Shici expressionlessly, but remained silent.

Fei Qian said calmly, "If Lu Fengxian really did something, someone would admire his courage and...stupidity." 』

"My lord," Tai Shici stared at Lu Bu, "this guy is really stupid. 』

The wind was blowing slowly, and seemed to be cautiously passing between Lu Bu and Fei Qian on tiptoe, showing that he was just playing soy sauce.

Fei Qian's tone remained unchanged, "Chinese law comes first."Since a certain is a hussar of the Han Dynasty, he must abide by the laws of the Han Dynasty.When we left Chang'an, there was a lot of discussion, but the affairs of the Western Regions are not determined by Yu, but by the law. 』

Tai Shici squinted at Fei Qian, seeing Fei Qian's serious face, he didn't seem to be joking, but this remark seemed to be a joke.Indeed, now that Fei Qian is a hussar, his every move will involve many people's nerves, even if he appears here now, Tai Shici still can't guess what he wants to do.

Fei Qian looked at Lv Bu, "One man's bravery can win a thousand armies, but it can only be obtained by one generation, while the law of a country, governing all people, can be the foundation of a hundred generations...you can't be careless about which one is more important." 』

Fei Qian's voice was actually not that loud, but the content of this sentence seemed to clearly penetrate the Gobi wind and spread into everyone's ears.

After the voice fell, everyone seemed to be quiet, and even the wind seemed to stop.

It seemed that Fei Qian's words were still echoing in Tai Shici's ears, but his eyes were fixed on Lu Bu who was slowly approaching from the opposite side.

Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian, what are you going to do?
Everyone present, whether they were generals, military academies, or ordinary soldiers, knew in their hearts that when it comes to personal force, then Lu Bu was invincible on the battlefield with all his abilities, while Fei Qian, although he was called a hussar, was actually average in martial arts. If Fei Qian challenged Lu Bu with his own martial arts, it would be like a praying mantis challenging a squirrel.

But now, who is the praying mantis, who is the oriole, or the hunter after the oriole?
Tai Shici squinted his eyes and stared at Lu Bu, thinking silently in his heart, this Lu Fengxian probably really has no brains.If it is not brainless, how could it be possible to do such a crazy thing?But Fei Qian was also a little crazy, what if Lu Bu suddenly became violent?Even though he and Xu Chu were on the side, Lu Bu really got within five steps...

Seeing Fei Qian's calm actions and calm expression, Tai Shici wondered what might be behind Fei Qian's actions. Thinking about it this way, it might not be possible for any bloody things to happen next.

But what if?
Most people in the north are martial arts, and their temperaments are mostly simple and direct. If they disagree with each other, they will throw their fists at each other. brain is not clear...

Thinking of this, Tai Shici made a move that caused everyone to look at him. He softly accused Fei Qian, and immediately rode forward, stopped Fei Qian, and shouted at Lu Bu: " Lu Fengxian!So far, my lord, why don't you quickly get off your horse and plead guilty! 』

"..." Fei Qian frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and finally said nothing.

Fei Qian understood what Tai Shici meant.

In addition to protecting Fei Qian, Tai Shici is also "protecting" himself.

Tai Shici had a sullen face, gripped the halberd tightly, and leaned forward slightly, like a tiger with its front paws pressed on a rock, and it will pounce straight away in the next moment.

Although Tai Shici did not compete with Xu Chu in a duel, but from the intuition of the warriors and the observations of these days, Tai Shici knew that Xu Chu was also a strong general, and he had his own side, even if Lu Bu really Whatever you want to do, you may not be able to hurt Fei Qian.

But the problem is that Lu Bu is not familiar with Xu Chu at all, and he has been away from Chang'an for too long.If Lu Bu really can't think about it for a while, then not only Lu Bu will die, but Tai Shici will also be "killed"!
Up to now, Hussars have relatively delegated authority to their generals.

this point is very important.

From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, and then to the Qin and Han Dynasties, there have been countless generals. Whether it is the fierce god Bai Qi, the old Jiang Lianpo, or the war god Han Xin, what they are most afraid of is not the opponent on the battlefield, but the friend behind them.

Look at the current Shandong of the great Han Dynasty. The military power belongs to the Cao family and the Xiahou family.On the other hand, Guan Zhongfeiqian's attitude towards generals with foreign surnames is undoubtedly different from that of Shandong.

However, these things Lu Bu did in the Western Regions seemed to kill himself and other generals with foreign surnames as well!
If it is said that Fei Qian has a sense of distrust for generals with foreign surnames because of this, and then starts to gather the authority of these generals with foreign surnames, or engage in some kind of marriage, or supervise the army like Shandong, then Lu Bu will be all Guan Zhong Sinner of the general!

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents.

Seizing power is like exterminating three clans!
Lu Bu's eyes were slightly cold, he stared at Tai Shici, reined in his horse, "What are you going to do?" 』

"dismount!Sorry! Tai Shici also stared at Lu Bu, "It's not what I want to do, but what you want to do?" ! 』

Lu Bu stroked the long handle of Fang Tian's painted halberd slowly, and said in a deep voice, "You think you can take the position of the Chief Protector after you kill me?"The position of the Protector of the Western Regions has been a trap and a dead end from the very beginning.Now you want to take this dead end too? 』

The corner of Tai Shici's mouth twitched, and he snorted, "It is said that it is a dead end, and it is also your dead end." 』

Lu Bu looked up to the sky and smiled, waved his hand to make the guards and others behind him stop, and rode forward slowly, "Then let's see the truth first!" 』

"snort! Tai Shici squinted his eyes, "Stubbornly stubborn!" 』

After speaking, Tai Shici also rode forward.

The two began to accelerate, not fast, but not slow either.

Fei Qian watched quietly, his eyes seemed to fall on the two people, and also seemed to fall on this piece of heaven and earth.

"Zhongkang. 』

Fei Qian said lightly.

"The minister is here." 』

Xu Chu replied with a slight bow.

"After the two of them have fought for a few rounds, let someone throw two grenades into the open space over there. Fei Qian raised his chin slightly, pointed to the Gobi desert beside him, "Both of you should wake up. 』

Xu Chu took the order, and immediately ordered to go down without mentioning it.

The yellow sand is flying.

Lu Bu's expression was indifferent, and there was a hint of violence in the eyes under the thick eyebrows.

Lu Bu didn't want to do anything to Fei Qian. Even when he came here, he wanted to bow his head in front of Fei Qian, admit his mistake, and then excuse himself and find a new path.

It is true that Lu Bu does not bow his head easily, but it does not mean that he never bows his head.

When he was desperate, Lu Bu would also bow his head, just like when Bai Menlou came to Cao Cao, he would also express that he was tied too tightly and expressed his willingness to serve...

According to Lv Bu's thinking, he felt that Fei Qian might be like Yuan Shao, who was afraid of his force, so he deliberately "framed" him. Therefore, in the conversation with Tai Shici, he more or less faintly expressed that he was not interested in ruling the Western Regions. The resentment of guarding this position feels like Yuan Shao let him go to Yanshan to suppress the bandits back then.

It is not Lu Bu's patent to make excuses on others and let others take the blame.

For example, whenever something happens, there will be majestic figures of temporary workers and external employees...

Therefore, Lu Bu's feelings towards Fei Qian are very complicated, including unwillingness, reverence, suspicion, resentment, jealousy, etc., but it is not enough to say that Lu Bu came this time to lay hands on Fei Qian. After all, unlike Dong Zhuo, Fei Qian didn't stab him with a short halberd.

But when Tai Shici intervened, the resentment in Lu Bu's heart overwhelmed other emotions. He felt that Tai Shici wanted him to stand up!Taking him as a stepping stone, I want to sit in the position that originally belonged to him!

So Lu Bu naturally expressed strong hostility in a few sentences, and directly confronted Tai Shici.

If you want to take my place, it depends on whether you have this weight!
Lu Bu and Tai Shici seem to be slow but fast, but they bumped into each other!
The martial arts, strength, and even skills of the two, maybe Lu Bu's original value should be higher, but now that Lu Bu is getting older, he has slipped from the peak, so the two are actually about the same...

Almost the same, it means that it is difficult to distinguish the winner for a while.

Blades intersect and sparks shoot out.

All of a sudden, the two men, the two horses and the two halberds entangled, crisscrossed, and collided with each other. The horseshoes kicked up yellow sand, and the breath of death danced between the cold light...

Wei Xu squinted his small eyes, his mind was not on Lu Bu's victory or defeat at all.He felt that he was about to die, and if he didn't think about it, he would definitely die.Although Lu Bu had been protecting him for the past few days, and even saved his life under the pressure of Zhang Liao, but that was only against Zhang Liao and Han Zheng!
Lu Bu could bear the pressure of Zhang Liao and Han Zheng, but if Fei Qian ordered him to be killed, would Lu Bu be able to withstand it?Can you still keep him?Wei Xu knew Lu Bu better than he knew himself. He knew that if he and Lu Bu could only choose one or the other, Lu Bu would definitely choose himself instead of protecting Wei Xu!

Just like this time, it was Lu Bu's idea to come to Yumen Pass and take the initiative to apologize to Fei Qian, not Wei Xu's!Or it was Mrs. Yan's idea!
Wei Xu wanted to make Lu Bu do nothing but attack Zhang Liao directly, and then split the Western Regions!

But at the critical moment, Lu Bu didn't listen to him again...

This means that his status in Lu Bu's heart is already lost!
Mrs. Yan lightly let go of her hatred for her nephew being killed by Zhang Liao, saying that it was her nephew's problem, and praised Zhang Liao for killing him well, and there was no problem at all.

But he, Wei Xu, can stretch out his head to let Zhang Liao, or let Fei Qian cut him, so why should he applaud from the sidelines?

He originally thought that when Lu Bu arrived at Yumen Pass, there might be a turning point, but he didn't expect that this would be a fight!
So……

Did Lu Bu mean...

Looking at the formation of hussars in the distance, Wei Xu felt chills in his heart.He must find a way out for himself!
Live in the dead!

Wei Xu suddenly saw two soldiers in Feiqian's formation on the opposite side approaching the side of Lu Bu and Tai Shici's fight, his eyebrows twitched, Cao Xing pulled aside and said, "Da Duhu is in danger!"look!Hussars are about to attack! 』

The eight generals who followed Lu Bu before, now Gao Shun is dead, Cheng Lian was not long in the Western Regions, his old disease relapsed and died, and now only Wei Xu and Cao Xing are left.

Cao Xing's personal ability is not strong, whether it is political or military, and he has no ambitions, only good archery.Therefore, there is almost no sense of presence in the Western Regions. Anyway, Cao Xing is not very high-minded. As long as he eats and drinks every day, he basically doesn't care about other things.

Cao Xing was taken aback.

"quick!Since hussars are not benevolent, don't blame us for being unrighteous!You go to the side, shoot the hussars, and we will charge up directly! ’Wei Xu said viciously.

"ah? Cao Xing was at a loss, "What?"Didn't you shoot the two soldiers outside?Shoot the hussars?Are you crazy? 』

"I'm not crazy!look!Hussars are really going to attack the lord! "Wei Xu gritted his teeth and said, "I want to live!"Give us a way out!If you don't do it, we'll all die here!Come on!Make it or break it! 』

Cao Xing was still a little dazed, but he was quickly pushed by Wei Xu, and then he kicked the horse's buttocks, causing his horse to kick and stomp towards the periphery of the fight.

Wei Xu winked desperately.

Cao Xing looked at the two hussars on the other side, and they seemed to be fumbling for something. In a panic, he took out an arrow and put it on the bow...
