Three Kingdoms

It’s not like the Western Region has never been prosperous before.

It has risen and fallen several times, and now it is again.

When the economy is booming, the fire is cooking and the flowers are blooming. Everyone regards money as money, has fun, eats, drinks and enjoys. When the real crisis comes, they realize that their position is actually on the ice. , what supported them has melted until only a thin layer remains.

It's just that some people will be panicked, but some people are still thinking about it, or even self-anaesthetic.

Then play music and then dance, and you can live one day at a time.

This may also be Lu Bu's previous mentality.

If he hadn't known about Fei Qian's coming, he might not even have wanted to come to Yumen Pass.

Lu Bu lowered his head, but refused to lower his head completely.

He doesn't want to admit his fault, even though he knows it is his fault.

The Chinese secret method has been inherited for thousands of years, and there are thirty-six styles of throwing the pot.

When it comes to dumping blame, some people have good skills, and some people just have a high level of skill. Those who are good at dumping can climb high, while those who are not good at dumping will get blood on their foreheads.

When many liability issues arise, most likely no one will take the initiative to take responsibility.

Because taking responsibility means being held accountable.

No one wants to be held accountable, lose power or benefit. Therefore, at this time, you will inevitably want to find a scapegoat to throw away this responsibility.

Under normal circumstances, in an organization, the person with the least strength, the least popularity, and the most enemies becomes the person to be held accountable.

Well, it’s you, who is the big one?

Of course, you can also blame external enemies.

If there is no scapegoat internally, and it is clear that something happened to oneself, and there is no way to shirk it, they will adopt conspiracy theory strategies and shift the responsibility to the outside world. This is the result of the enemy's careful calculation. It is not that the brothers are incompetent, but that the enemy is too cunning.

Shifting responsibility to cunning external opponents in exchange for one's own image as a victim to win sympathy from others is also a way to shirk.

If this still can't get rid of the blame, then you need to consider whether you can shift the responsibility to a small probability event. For example, it would be very appropriate to let a black swan take the responsibility.

As for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who issued an edict to blame himself, ostensibly taking responsibility for it, it was already a mistake that had been made for many years. He had been blamed one after another, and he really couldn't find someone to blame. In addition, his power was stable, but the public sentiment Floating and dying soon, only then will they admit their mistakes to gain everyone's forgiveness, change policies for the next generation, and gain a basis for legitimacy.

In other words, when you really can't find someone to take the blame, you have too much blame and can't get rid of it, so you might be honest!

The same goes for Lu Bu.

As the most responsible person in the Western Region, Gao Shun died, and he died in his hands. He couldn't get rid of it anyway, so he felt that "maybe" he was wrong, and he came not only to express He showed his attitude of "admitting his mistake", and also used Tai Shici's "provocation" to show off his own abilities!

Lian Po...oh, Lu Bu can still eat!

Taishi Ci and Lu Bu had only had friendly discussions before, and had relatively restrained themselves a lot. But this time, both sides were almost going all out.

Ordinary people use long halberds, slashing, stabbing, and stabbing moves. They basically move in a straight line, seeking speed and accuracy. They pursue killing the enemy with one blow, and are powerful and unstoppable. However, when Lu Bu and Tai Shi Ci reached this stage, they not only used strong techniques, but also used delicate skills. The force still seemed to be fast and powerful, but it also contained some small arcs, which made Ji Feng always It is in a circular motion, so no matter whether the Euphorbia moves forward or retreats to attack or defend, its momentum is as continuous as the Yangtze River. Only in this way can the moves be immortal and always have enough energy left.

Fei Qian, a layman, could see some clues, not to mention Tai Shici who was in the center of the storm and fighting each other.

Taishi Ci slightly regretted it. He originally thought that Lu Bu was already useless after eating and drinking in the Western Regions, but he didn't expect that Lu Bu would use it immediately. Fang Tian painted his halberd and waved it. It seemed simple and simple, but only those who faced him would Only then can we understand the horror contained in it.

For the first time in a long time, Taishi Ci felt the god of death roaring from left to right, so close to his body and neck. Between the virtual and the real, if he made a slight mistake in judgment, he would inevitably step into the gate of hell!

Moreover, Fang Tian's painted halberd has one more crescent moon than the halberd used by Taishi Ci, so it also has more skills and changes. Every time the halberd attacks, Taishi Ci does not attack, block or dodge. It was not easy, and he could even feel a heavy pressure, which was constricting the space around him little by little. If he was not careful, he would end up with his head missing.

Lu Bu Fang Tian's painted halberd roared towards him. Taishi Ci did not dare to sharpen the edge easily. He could only take a deep breath, shake off Lu Bu's entanglement with his halberd, then hold the long handle and stab Lu Bu's lower abdomen with all his strength. , and at the same time, following the stab, the body shape stretched out in a straight line, which not only increased the range of his attack, but also avoided the slash of Lu Bu Fangtian's painted halberd.

But the next moment, Lu Bu lowered his wrist, and with a "clang" sound, the two swords clashed. Taishi Ci drew his strength inwards, trying to use his soft strength to turn Lu Bu's strength into a counterattack, but unexpectedly when he leaned outwards, he was completely empty!

Lu Bu turned around and returned his hand, and the crescent moon of Fang Tian's halberd drew an arc and headed towards Tai Shi Ci's neck!

The next moment, Taishi Ci raised his foot and suddenly kicked the horse's butt under Lu Bu's crotch. Lu Bu's horse was startled and jumped out immediately. Lu Bu's attack naturally failed, but Taishi Ci's attack was in vain. The sky passed in front of me...

Lu Bu looked relaxed on the surface, but in fact he was under increasing pressure.

Taishi Ci is young, can withstand pressure, and has good endurance. If he cannot be defeated as soon as possible, he will be the only one who cannot show his fatigue!

However, Taishi Ci was very resilient. Lu Bu repeatedly put pressure on him, but he just couldn't take it down!

The two of them were going back and forth, and the battle was fierce. Xu Chu, who was outside the fighting circle, couldn't help but be attracted by the two of them...

Xu Chu was not weak in martial arts, so he looked at it and put himself into it. If he faced Lu Bu or Tai Shi Ci, how would he deal with it, and how would he have a chance to win?

"That's it. Fei Qian said in a deep voice, "Let them stop." 』

Fei Qian didn't want to see a situation where both of them would lose, but it was still necessary to let both parties know that there was a better world, or whether there was an absolute gap in force.

Xu Chu took the order and shouted towards the inside of the battle circle. Unfortunately, the two men were fighting fiercely and did not separate immediately, so Xu Chu could only wave to the soldiers outside the battle circle.

On the other side, Cao Xing, under Wei Xu's urging, began to bend his bow and draw an arrow.

Cao Xing didn't have that big ambition, nor that strong ability, otherwise he wouldn't be satisfied with eating and drinking in the Western Region. He actually didn't feel much about the changes outside. Until now, the Western Region seemed to have collapsed. Suddenly he couldn't continue to enjoy it.

Although Wei Xu tried his best to instigate Cao Xing to shoot Fei Qian to death, Cao Xing really didn't have the courage. He felt that since there were hussar soldiers who wanted to attack Lu Bu, the best he could do was to counterattack Taishi Ci. …

"boom! boom! 』

Two consecutive grenades exploded in the wilderness, making a huge noise and sending up two plumes of smoke.

The loud sound finally made the two guys who were a little bit awake from the fight, and they reined in their horses. At this moment, Cao Xing also raised his bow, shouted, and shot a shot at Taishi Ci. arrow.

At this time, most of Taishi Ci's attention was still on Lu Bu, and then he heard Cao Xing's loud shout, and then turned around suddenly, only to see that the arrow had already reached his chest. He couldn't dodge, and he was hit by the arrow!

Suddenly, everyone’s expression changed!

But he saw Taishi Ci holding the arrow handle with his hand, his face changing again and again. Under the different eyes of everyone, he slowly pulled out the arrow stuck in the armor, only to see that there was no arrow on the arrow. , there was only one wooden base that looked a little cracked due to the impact with the armor.

It turns out that at some point, Cao Xing secretly pulled out the arrow, and what he shot was just an arrow without an arrow...

Even so, the guards brought by Fei Qian were aroused. In a moment, they shouted and spurred their horses out, with swords and guns raised, and surrounded Lu Bu and others. The scene was about to break out.

Cao Xing raised his hands, his face pale.

Lu Bu did not immediately resist. Instead, he put Fang Tian's painted halberd behind him, reined in his horse and stood quietly. His whole body was like a rock, motionless. Only his eyes showed a look like a hungry wolf, cold. Look towards Fei Qian.

"Sure enough! Lu Bu laughed coldly, "I shouldn't have come to this Western Region in the first place!" This is a trap! Looking back, it was really a big mistake by Lv Mou. Even so, let’s go together! 』

Xu Chu stepped forward with his sword in hand and shouted angrily: "Bold!" You are treasonous and do not know how to repent. You are worthy of death! 』

Lu Bu laughed loudly, "Guilty and innocent, that's all!" 』

Taishi Ci also said: "Lu Fengxian!" My lord kindly asked you to be the Protector of the Western Region, but now the Western Region is in such a situation! What should you say? ! Could it be that it is also a sin for the Lord to grant you a reward? ! 』

Lu Bu was still laughing, "Haha, I am just a lone wolf in the north!" Travel a thousand miles! Fight against all enemies! A certain person's meritorious deeds are all due to a certain person dismounting his horse and holding a halberd in his palm! Where does the credit of others come from? ! 』

"well said! Fei Qian applauded and praised, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Fei Qian smiled slightly, knocked the horse, took two steps forward, and looked at the horse under Lu Bu's crotch, "Brother Feng, this horse...is it a red rabbit?" 』

"Uh..." Lu Bu was stunned for a moment.

Red Rabbit No. 1 has long since passed away, and now is Red Rabbit No. 2.

Red Rabbit Horse No. 1 is bright red, while Red Rabbit Horse No. 2 is dark red. It is not as conspicuous as No. 1, but it is still extraordinary.

"The name Red Rabbit was given by my late brother. Fei Qian said slowly, "Brother Fengxian, do you remember what he said at that time?" 』

Lu Bu remained silent and did not answer. He just remembered that Fei Qian took him to the racecourse and selected a war horse that was similar to Red Rabbit. As for what he said at that time, how could he remember it?

"I asked Brother Feng what the name of this horse should be," Fei Qian said with a smile, "Brother Feng also called it Red Rabbit. The name is not important. On the battlefield, its use is important. Call it. , as a driver, call Red Rabbit directly, then you will know that it is Fengxian's horse...Brother Fengxian, don't you remember? 』

Lu Bu took a breath and said, "I probably remember." 』

Fei Qian nodded and said: "In the battlefield, we don't use names, but focus on their uses. We don't seek their emptiness, but their reality." Not to mention war horses, let alone humans? Now, I would like to ask Brother Feng, are humans inferior to horses, or are horses inferior to humans? Is it seeking practicality and practicality, or is it focusing on name and reality? 』

Lu Bu couldn't answer.

Fei Qian didn't speak very profoundly, nor did he deliberately say any allusions, because most people, including Lu Bu, couldn't understand the allusions, so the simpler the explanation, the better. "I am from the Heluofei clan." On the side branch, the family was not prosperous, and my late father passed away early, leaving only a few tile-roofed houses and a few shelves of books. Taishi Ziyi originally came from the east, and his family was not well-known. He only had a little land for martial arts training. Xu Zhongkang did have a Wubao with some fertile farmland around it, but it was also destroyed when Yuan and Cao fought against each other, so he surrendered to Guanzhong..."

"This is us, let's see them again!" The Xiahou family of the Cao family was born into a noble family, and was originally a local wealthy family... The Yuan brothers were from a sect with four generations and three princes, and their disciples and former officials were all over the world, so they were promoted as the leader of the alliance at that time... Liu Jingsheng, Liu Junlang's generation, was a relative of the Han Dynasty. It is glory and wealth! 』

Fei Qian's voice was not loud, but it was sonorous and powerful, "They all have big families!" There are connections, financial resources, and land! And what about us? Brother Feng said that he achieved his current fame by holding a halberd in the horse's crotch, so among all the people present, which one of you is standing here because of your family's prominence and the legacy of your ancestors? ! 』

"..." Lu Bu pursed his lips tightly.

"This world originally belonged to them!" We can only crawl on the ground and live on the little scraps they reveal from between their fingers! Also grateful! Otherwise, they will use various means to crush us to death! It's like squeezing an ant to death! 』

Fei Qian's voice rolled across the Gobi and stirred up the yellow sand, "Brother Feng said he was a lone wolf. That's right!" A lone wolf indeed! And among all the people present, who is a powerful family member or an official for generations? ! Who else can achieve their merits only by relying on their parents, advocating, or relying on millions of dollars in wealth and thousands of acres of fertile land? Brother Fengxian can indeed be called a lone wolf, and who of you is not a lone wolf in the troubled times of the Han Dynasty? A lone wolf struggling among flesh and blood, seeking to survive in the yellow sand! 』

After hearing what Fei Qian said, everyone was silent. For a moment, everyone had mixed feelings in their hearts, the ups and downs were mixed together, and they didn't know what it felt like.

Who wouldn’t want to lie down comfortably if possible?

But what if when you lie down, someone will immediately ride on your head and dominate?

Those who are incompetent, greedy, and hypocritical, tell lies and do despicable things, but they are all arrogant in their silk robes; while those who are hard-working, honest, and hard-working people work hard and do hard things, but they are All of them were in ragged clothes and crawling on the ground.

The superior people shouted: "Look, these people are suffering now because their ancestors didn't work hard!" Our ancestors have all worked hard, so we are blessed! You have to work hard and you will be rewarded! This is called blessing! 』

Listening to the underground people, it seems that there is some truth in it. They feel that as long as they work hard, maybe even if they cannot change their own situation, they can make their children and grandchildren live a better life...

But in reality, they lied.

What matters is not the effort, but the means of production. They do not rely on the sweat of their ancestors, but on the means of production that their ancestors robbed. Since ancient times, whoever has more means of production has been able to exploit other people.

They hide this most important factor, but casually dangle a false carrot in the name of "effort", dangling in front of the mule and donkey.

Fei Qian's eyes swept over everyone. He did not elaborate further, because to be honest, they didn't understand even after he explained it.

Even in later generations, many people still do not understand this, and will always stand on the side of the capitalists, saying that it is not easy for capitalists to open factories and companies, etc., and that the proletarians must first understand and then be considerate, saying that who wants to open factories? Companies that run businesses have trouble with the government formed in the name of the proletariat...

The people on the stage screamed and wagged their tails and begged for mercy, while the people in the audience reservedly applauded and laughed with money.

Some people really don't understand, and some people just pretend not to understand.

Therefore, at the moment, Fei Qian can only say something simpler, more straightforward, and more understandable to these people.

Compared with the land of Shandong, the political collectives in Guanzhong basically belong to people who are not relatively well-known, nor do they have too much family property. Military generals are like this, and civil servants are also similar.

"Princes and generals, Xiang Ning has the guts!" Fei Qian continued, "So what if we win, what if we lose, how happy is life, how painful is death?" How can a man who is upright and upright allow others to behave like this? 』

"We gathered in Chang'an and met here, isn't it just to calm the breath in our chests? ! Fei Qian said loudly, "Since you are a soldier, you should gain your own value and find your own glory on the battlefield where thousands of troops are fighting!" Rather than imitate them, feed the common people and eat and drink the blood of soldiers! If we are like them and ignore the suffering of the people, only think about our own enjoyment, and only think that our children and grandchildren will ride on the heads of the people for generations to come, then what is the difference between us and them! Is this what we want and the glory we pursue? 』

"Brother Feng, others call you a master-eater and a traitor, but I have never thought of it that way. Fei Qian's voice was sonorous and powerful, "Ding Jianyang, with his humble status as the governor of Bingzhou, should have fulfilled his duties faithfully, served the people of Bingzhou's thoughts, stopped foreign enemies, and stabilized the place, but he forgot his origins and his responsibilities!" In order to fight for power and gain, Luoyang was detained, so that Xianbei went south and invaded the north! Countless people are displaced and innocent people are suffering, so they deserve to die! 』

"Ding Jianyang has lost his position and forgotten his true intentions. He deserves to die!" 』

"Dong Zhongying was born in Xiliang. He originally served the country, fought on the battlefield, and later led a heavy army to defend the imperial court. But he also forgot his own origin and the people who once supported him! Fornication was forbidden in the palace, killing was for fun, money was made to plunder people's wealth, and it was stored in Xiwu, saying that it could be used by their descendants for endless use! As a result, the people of Heluo in Guanzhong were miserable and had no choice but to change their sons and eat them! 』

"Dong Zhongying is so cruel and cruel that the common people deserve to die!" 』

"But now in the Western Region, who is dead?" Fei Qian looked at Lu Bu with a sad expression, "The one who died was Gao Boping, who did his duty!" The dead are the hardworking people of Xihai! Those who died were innocent soldiers who shed tears despite sweating and sweating! 』

"Lu Fengxian!" 』

"What is the difference between you now and Ding Jianyang and Dong Zhongying!" 』
