Three Kingdoms

The deafening sound of horse hooves rolled through the desolate Gobi desert, stirring up endless dust.

Lu Bu's expression was not good.

Some people like to judge others.

Sometimes these people don't want others to make the same mistakes they have made or learned about in their presence, and repeat the same mistakes.

Sometimes they know themselves, or they think they have an important position with others and can point fingers.

Sometimes they have, or think they have, more relevant professional knowledge than others and are experienced experts.

So after these people say a few words of affirmation in an understatement, they will definitely follow up with a lot of buts, but this, but that. In the end, most of them will also add "I think", "I hope", "I... It’s all for your own good,” “It’s just my personal advice,” “Actually, it’s up to you whether to listen to it or not,” etc. as concluding remarks.

Lu Bu hated it when people said "I think" and "I hope" to him.

Especially those who are shaking their heads, in front of Lu Bu, saying that Lu Bu is indeed good at commanding the cavalry formation, but the important thing is but, but I hope Lu Bu can know one thing, it does not mean that Lu Bu knows the cavalry deeply, he can It proves that Lu Bu has a good grasp of the psychology of soldiers, the culture of the Han Dynasty, the management of civil affairs, the cultivation of mulberry in the fields, the prevention and control of plagues, the beliefs of the barbarians, and economic development. It is recommended that Lu Bu not take his half-knowledge as a conclusion. On the contrary, it will be superfluous and not beautiful, etc.

At the end, I will add a sentence, hoping that Lu Bu can change it, but, again, it is a but, saying that it is very suspenseful, fully demonstrating his aloof and contemptuous attitude towards all living beings.

Is it ridiculous?

It's like going to a restaurant to eat a large plate of chicken. After eating, you wipe your mouth and start commenting on the large plate of chicken. It's pretty good, but don't think that the large plate of chicken is good because it represents fish-flavored shredded pork and spicy food. Can the tofu, Buddha jump over the wall, and fish tail feast be cooked well? Then I hope that the store will not make other dishes and just make a big plate of chicken. Making other dishes is just superfluous...

Who is born with omniscience and omnipotence?

Who the hell, when doing something, has to wait until he is omniscient and omnipotent before he can do that thing?

It is true that Lu Bu did not know much about the psychology of soldiers, the culture of the Han Dynasty, the management of civil affairs, the cultivation of mulberry in the fields, the prevention and control of plague, the beliefs of the barbarians, economic development, etc. It is true that he had only a smattering of knowledge about many things, which are key. The question is not about knowing or not knowing, but doing it and practicing it!

Lu Bu was not born knowing how to be a Protector of the Western Regions, but Lu Bu was willing to do it and practice it for this Protector of the Western Regions!

Some people say that Lu Bu should sit down and send envoys to the surrounding countries in the Western Regions to invite the allies to talk. Others say that these countries in the Western Regions have forgotten how powerful the Han family is. Talking is useless. They should fight and fight hard. Only after a lesson did you realize how powerful the Han family was. Some people said that there was no need to talk or fight. They could kill people with a borrowed knife and sow discord among the countries in the Western Regions...

Lu Bu thought it was okay at first, and these suggestions were all good. Then he continued to ask with hope, if we talk, how will we talk, if we fight, how will we fight, and if we use strategies, how will we use them?

Then these people glared and said, "I only have one or two suggestions. The decision is up to the general!" If someone knew how to act, why would it be like this? He was appointed the Protector of the Western Regions early! 』

Lu Bu: "..."

After listening to it in the end, nothing was of use, so I could only continue to implement it according to Lu Bu's original idea, but these people would stand high and shout: "Woohoo!" Good advice cannot be used! Loyalty and advice will not be accepted! Alas! What a pity! It’s better to go back! Go back! 』

Although he shouted so, his feet did not move. After a few days, he changed his position and tried it again.

As for why this is the case, Lu Bu doesn't quite understand. After all, Lu Bu doesn't know much about things like the psychology of soldiers, the culture of the Han Dynasty, the management of civil affairs, mulberry farming in the fields, the prevention and control of plague, the beliefs of the barbarians, economic development, etc. But can Lu Bu be happy when meeting such a person?

So Lu Bu took some people out of the city for a walk to relax. What he didn't expect was that Lu Bu accidentally wandered too far, or these enemies had sneaked into the area a long time ago, and they ran into...

I saw four streaks of smoke branching out in the distance ahead, like four tentacles extended by a squid, outflanking Lu Bu and his group. It was obvious that these Qiuchi people were preparing to trap Lu Bu and swallow them in one gulp!

Wei Xu shouted from the side: "General!" there! There are Yanqi people over there! what to do? Go back to Yumen Pass? 』

Lu Bu did not answer immediately, but frowned and checked the surrounding situation. Looking at this posture, the Kucha and Yanqi people have joined forces?

The wind was howling in his ears, and Lu Bu needed to make a decision as soon as possible.

Should we go back, fight, or fight and walk...

The rumble of horses' hooves resounded throughout the sky, and the flying dust covered the sky, as if it had blocked the sun's rays. The different orders and shouts of the Qiuchi and Yanqi people were heard in the Gobi desert. Weird tunes come and go, releasing murderous intent to all directions.

Lu Bu suddenly felt something in his heart and pointed his hand, "Go that way!" Fight out! 』

That direction is not the direction of returning to the stronghold, but the junction of the Kucha people and the Yanqi people...

Lu Bu sneered, and slightly adjusted the Fang Tian Painted Halberd in his hand at an angle. The wind brought by the rapid galloping poured in from the special structure under the head of the Fang Tian Painted Halberd, making a sharp scream like a ghost's cry. Howl!

Lu Bu's killing intent, like the blood-red cloak behind him, began to boil!

In the Gobi desert, it is normal for a small force to be unable to detect all of them. However, with such a huge scale, since I have not received reports from scouts before, there is only one possibility: these Kucha and Yanqi people First, he stayed outside the detection range of his own scouts, and then rushed straight in in one breath!

Let’s not worry about how these Kucha and Yanqi people knew that they were going out to relax, and whether there were any other problems. Let’s just say that these Kucha and Yanqi people rushed straight at them. Although they were powerful, they also had physical strength. Horsepower consumption!

In addition, just now Lu Bu heard the different orders and shouts of the Kucha and Yanqi people, so Lu Bu does not need to fully understand the psychology of soldiers, the culture of the Han Dynasty, the management of civil affairs, the cultivation of mulberry in the fields, and the prevention and control of plagues. , the beliefs of the Hu people, economic development, etc., it can be judged that the junction between the Kucha people and the Yanqi people is the weakness of these guys on the battlefield!

The Qiuchi and Yanqi people did not expect that Lu Bu would dare to change direction and take the initiative to attack. They were unable to react for a while. The sporadic arrows thrown at them could not cause much powerful damage to Lu Bu and others, nor could they do much damage to Lu Bu and others. The horse's hooves that stopped Lu Bu and others from galloping.

The Fangtian Painted Halberd in Lu Bu's hand whizzed, circling and flying. The sharp crescent blade was like a meat grinder. Every time he swung it, blood and flesh flew out. In the least case, arms and legs were missing, and in serious cases, he was killed on the spot. Lu Bu was like the core tip of a heavy drill, hard and unwavering. With Wei Xu and the other Han cavalry behind him, Lu Bu ferociously drilled out on the tentacles extended by the Kucha and Yanqi people. A bloody wound!

The red rabbit horse No. 2 under Lu Bu's crotch screamed in excitement. While running forward, he took a moment to open his mouth, showing his bright big teeth and biting those Kucha people who tried to get close to Lu Bu and slow down Lu Bu's progress. The ferocious look of the Yanqi people's horses' necks frightened many Kucha and Yanqi people's horses into screaming and escaping, making the already chaotic formation even more unbearable...

In the rain of blood, Lu Bu saw a barbarian wearing a gold headdress not far away. He was protected by several guards, holding his sword high and howling something. Although Lu Bu couldn't understand that, and he couldn't understand what this guy was called in Kucha dialect or Yanqi dialect, it didn't stop Lu Bu from guessing that this must be a leader-level figure, and that he was giving instructions and orders to his subordinates... …

"Protect someone!" 』

Lu Bu slowed down a little, hid among the guards beside him, then hung up the Fangtian painted halberd, took off the bow and arrows, and shot three arrows in a row without any pause on the horse!

Among the chaotic roars of horses and horses and the rolling of horse hooves, the whistling sound of arrows was almost negligible. Until the arrow fired by Lu Bu came close, perhaps it was the instinct of life, or perhaps because he saw the black shadow approaching in an instant. , the guard led by a barbarian yelled, raising his shield in a panic and trying to block...

The first arrow hit the upper part of the guard's raised shield. The strong impact made it impossible for the guard to keep the shield held in one hand upright, so he used the guard's forearm as a fulcrum and tilted it backwards, revealing Guard the shoulders and head!

The second arrow flew almost close to the shield, and then plunged viciously into the guard's eye socket. The refined wolf fang shoulder of the Han family, with the blessing of Lu Bu's strong bow, possessed abundant penetrating power, not only shooting The head of the barbarian leader's guard was revealed, and half of the bloody arrow was revealed behind his head. It also drove the guard's body backwards and knocked him off his horse!

The third arrow!

In the horrified eyes of the barbarian leader, with the breath of death, he roared towards us!

"Pfft!" 』

The wolf fang arrow passed through the chest, bringing out a large amount of blood, and also caused the body of the barbarian commander to fall backward...

In the blood-filled sky, the barbarian commander's gaze continued to move upwards as his body fell. Finally, there was the sky like a blue gem, and the golden point flying up in the sky. shine.

The leader of the barbarians suddenly understood something, but immediately a darkness came over, covering everything in the world.

The leader was killed, and the Hu people suddenly fell into chaos.

Lu Bu laughed loudly, picked up Fang Tian's painted halberd again, and waved it. The battlefield once again heard a shrill scream, bringing out the harsh and loud song of the God of Death.

The Hu people fell into panic and confusion. They didn't know where they were going or what they should do. In just a quarter of an hour, some people died under Lu Bu Fangtian's painted halberd. There were forty or fifty people, and many barbarians couldn't help but feel frightened, not daring to get close to the attack range of Lu Bu's screaming Fang Tian painted halberd...

Lu Bu happily took a break from his busy work and looked around amidst the rain of blood and scattered limbs, trying to find the second barbarian commander wearing a golden headdress or the large banner set up by the barbarians, but unfortunately, in the chaotic dust, In the flying and swaying figure, Lu Bu did not see the second obvious direction. He could only smack his mouth slightly with regret and continue to lead the people forward to kill.

"Follow!" Come with me! 』

Lu Bu was obviously in a much better mood now than before. His voice was loud and powerful. Even in the noisy battlefield, it could be heard by the soldiers who were thirty or forty steps away. He immediately caused his soldiers to respond in unison: "Drink." ! Follow the general! 』

"Hahaha……"

Lu Bu became more and more happy, laughing with his back molars exposed. However, his hands did not relax at all, tearing the Kucha and Yanqi people's front lines apart, and quickly separated them.

At this moment, the shortcomings of dividing the soldiers into two different subordinates were revealed. The Kucha people thought that the Yanqi people should join, and the Yanqi people thought that the Kucha people should stop them. Then both sides couldn't help but look at each other, and found that the other party had nothing to do with it. Didn't do anything...

Are you going to make it or not?

The Kucha people and the Yanqi people asked the same question at the same time, and then Lu Bu naturally penetrated the connection between the Kucha people and the Yanqi people during the hesitation of both parties, and broke through the connection between the Kucha people and the Yanqi people. Outflank and blockade.

Although Lu Bu broke through the outflank and interception of Qiuci and Yanqi and formed a confrontation, when the news reached Li Ru, Li Ru did not act like Lu Bu and thought it was just a chance encounter...

Dunhuang Yumen Pass, although Yumen Pass is called a pass, it is actually two cities, the small Fangpan City and the Dafangpan City.

Although this territory is traditionally considered the territory of the Han Dynasty, due to the Eastern Han Dynasty's policy of isolating the Western Regions for a long time, Xiliang was even abandoned for a time. For Dunhuang, which is even more remote than Xiliang, it was originally supposed to be the Yumen Pass, the western gate of the Han Dynasty. Is it careless? From Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty to the present, the rotation of governors in other places has been colorful, and there are even several governors dispatched by different forces at the same time. But Dunhuang...

There were only two prefects in the entire Han Dynasty who guarded the west gate of the Han Dynasty.

One is Zhao Zi. "At the Ling Emperor's office... Taiwei Yang has given special permission to allow the turban to come in and out. Please discuss it with me." He was promoted to a high position and moved to Dunhuang as governor. 』

The other one was Zhao Qi who was recommended by He Jin during He Jin's period. And this Zhao Qi is even more interesting. He didn't go to Dunhuang at all. Halfway through, he said that he had encountered a bandit road tyrant. In the crisis, he only relied on his own sharp tongue to lick his life away before escaping...

In other words, for twenty or thirty years, the Dunhuang prefect had no serious Han officials at all. But now, not long after Lu Bu arrived in Dunhuang, there was a joint military operation between the Kucha and Yanqi people.

Li Ru believed that the Qiuci and Yanqi people Lu Bu met near Dunhuang must have been connected with some people in Dunhuang, and may even have betrayed some information about Lu Bu, which is why there was such a so-called "coincidence". It is very likely that these Qiuchi and Yanqi people were influenced by Lu Bu's previous attack on Haitou, that is, the Xiaoyue clan near Puchanghai, that is, the guy who claimed to be King Fei Yun of Juqu. , as well as the subsequent problems caused by the conflict and struggle with the remaining troops of the Yarkand Kingdom.

Dunhuang is about to have big events!
