Three Kingdoms

The first is that the Wusun people did not fall into the trap.

When Han Guo led his men and horses forward again, trying to fake defeat and lure the enemy, the Wusun people chased him for two steps at first. When Han Guo turned around and fled towards Xihai City, the Wusun people did not catch up at all. Instead, he happily beat gongs, drums, and colorful flags, announcing that he had won a huge victory and successfully defeated the Han people. He inserted a wooden sign on the ground with crooked characters written on it, and then didn't even look up. Those who came back left directly.

Taishi Ci died before he succeeded in his plan. He glared and almost bumped his head against the battlements.

He hid himself well and was not exposed!

Then he turned around and realized that Taishi Ci himself was indeed not exposed, but Xu Chu was exposed...

And Fei Qian.

The Wusun people who had been beaten up were obviously more cautious. Although they followed Han Guo south, they threw the scouts away from the distance and discovered the smoke and dust raised by Fei Qian and others when they arrived at Xihai City. Naturally, Immediately, he turned around and ran away.

In Taishi Ci's heart, he just said "orange hemp and wheat peel".

But Taishi Ci had no way to do anything to Xu Chu. He could only write down Wusun's account angrily and go to meet Fei Qian first.

Regarding such a thing, Fei Qian could only smile to Taishi Ci and say sorry, but what happened next made Fei Qian unable to laugh anymore, because it was related to the Western Region Allied Forces Taksa, and it was considered a gift to Fei Qian. Hidden into a difficult problem...

Taksa knew nothing about Feiqian's actions. Not only that, he also knew nothing about his own situation.

Taksa is gathering the soldiers who have been "sent" from various ministries, training them so that they can integrate into the Kushan formation as soon as possible, in order to form a well-coordinated battle formation in the shortest possible time.

Taksa is not unaware of the unstable mood among the Western Region Allied Forces, but Taksa thinks that he has said a lot now, and it is of no use to say more. He can only use his strength to fight a good fight. , especially by completely defeating Zhang Liao, who was wandering on the edge, attacked them and broke up the allied ambush, only then can we truly put aside the haze in front of us and see the sun of the Western Region.

The Western Region Allied Forces were forcibly put together. If Taksa had ten or twenty years of hard work, he might be able to make these Western Region Allied Forces work for him wholeheartedly. It's a pity that he doesn't have the time now. For this reason, Taksa even had to tolerate Busen's actions that challenged his authority. All in all, Taksa felt that although Busen might be a little hostile towards him, he was more wary or uneasy.

Therefore, while Taksa was training his soldiers and horses in a wide space, he was also thinking that if the most unfavorable situation happened, would he sell Busen in exchange for a chance to escape unscathed?

Yes, anyway, the Western Region is so big and there are so many places. If we can't fight the Han people head-on, we will most likely have to fight guerrillas. And under such circumstances, how long can the Han people last? Anyway, those who were beaten to pieces were the Western Regions themselves, so what did they do to Guishang? Of course, the most critical point is how to sell Busen smoothly without being suspected by the guys from the Western Region countries. This is the difficult point.

In the past two days, I don't know why Taksa always feels a little uneasy, but I don't know where the problem is...

However, a piece of good news came soon, which gave Taksa a sigh of relief.

The Han general finally ran out of supplies and withdrew.

After repeated confirmations, Taksa became more and more convinced that the Han people were just empty shells. As long as he did not let the Han people catch the loopholes and dug traps for the Chinese army and prepared them, then the Han people could only do this... …

It is always easy for the ignorant to get happiness, just like the stick is the favorite of the stick man. As for right or wrong, it is not that important. As long as you have that stick...well, the stick, you can get excited and have great successes.

As news of the "defeat" of the Han people came, Taksa ordered a grand bonfire banquet to celebrate another "great" victory, because Taksa believed that even some people in the Western Region Allied Forces were awake. Yes, they know the cause and effect, but the vast majority of people in the Western Regions are chaotic. They only know the food in front of them, so as long as the bonfire party starts, eating and drinking is enough to make most of the Western Regions people happy, and then naturally Let the "great" victory become even more "great".

On the vast Gobi desert, there are bonfires everywhere.

Taksa sat in the first place, and sitting with him was Busen.

On both sides of the lower head are the leaders of the Western Region Allied Forces.

Further outside, there are the Kushan people from Taksa and the guards of the leaders of the Western Regions.

Busen has been silent since he took the seat. Even when he heard Taksa's self-praising remarks, he showed no expression and just lowered his eyebrows and chanted the Buddha's name softly. On the other hand, Taksa felt that it was a bit embarrassing for Busen to be so taciturn. Not only would he occasionally find something to talk about when he had nothing to say, but he would also have people specially send more dried fruit pulp, water, etc. to Busen to show that he and Busen There is still an intimate relationship between them.

Bu Sen did not reject anyone who came, but remained silent.

After Taksa drank some kumiss, he gradually became more relaxed, gesticulating and talking about the war with the Han people, talking about how weak the Han people were, and how the Western Region Allied Forces were. How brave...

At the beginning, Taksa said this, which really made the generals and leaders of the Western Region Alliance Army a little bit unable to sit still, but Taksa's eloquence is indeed good, just like retreating can be said to be turning in, and he has been defeated repeatedly. It can be changed to fighting after repeated defeats. Language itself is very wonderful. The understanding ability between people is also uneven and cannot be discussed together. Therefore, after repeating it several times in Taksa, there is Many people actually agreed, shouting loudly about the greatness of Taksa and the greatness of the Western Region Allied Forces...

The tragic situation in which the Han generals almost collapsed after being beaten by the Han generals was now said to be the Han people fleeing in panic!

These frizzy guys were shouting, but the leaders of the Western Region Alliance Army who had some idea in their hearts fell silent like Busen. And this silence, in turn, fuels even greater noise.

Master Busen remained expressionless and showed little interest in the food at the banquet. He only drank some water occasionally.

Bag after bag of kumiss was drunk, and bursts of cheerful singing could be heard.

Life in the Western Region is not very comfortable.

Most herdsmen, just like farmers in the Han Dynasty, can only eat chaff from the food they grow. Herdsmen basically cannot eat meat every day. On weekdays, they mostly eat grass seeds, wild vegetables and various dairy products. Therefore, when given the opportunity to drink a few bowls of kumiss and chew a meat bone, the herdsmen did not care whether it was a real victory or what the truth was.

After the wine was half drunk, some leaders of the Western Region countries came forward to toast Taksa, and then went down to drink with Taksa's men and their own men. Some even danced beside the bonfire. The room was somewhat chaotic.

Only Master Busen has been sitting motionless from the beginning.

Taksa also happily danced around the bonfire for a while, then carried a wine bag and walked to Master Busen with a slight stagger, "Be happy!" Be happy! Grandmaster! In life, being happy is the most important thing! Master, are you right? 』

Bu Sen raised his eyelids and stared at Taksa. Just when Taksa thought that Bu Sen said nothing again and responded with silence, and was about to turn around and leave, he heard Bu Sen say: "You are dead." it's over. 』

"I'm not drunk!" Not drunk! No..." Taksa denied it subconsciously. After he repeated it two or three times, his sluggish brain responded, "You...what did you just say? 』

Bu Sen stood up slowly and stepped back. At this moment, Taksa suddenly discovered that there were several monks with big shoulders and round waists behind Bu Sen. Although they were not wearing armor, they were holding weapons in their hands. The long stick and the sword on his waist showed that the monk who suddenly appeared was definitely not someone who only knew how to chant sutras and proclaim the name of the Buddha!

Bu Sen, who retreated behind these monks, his face quickly turned cold, staring at Taksa as if staring at a corpse!

Outside King Taksa's tent, the Kushan soldiers and the guards of the leaders of the Western Regions sat intertwined.

Although on weekdays, the guards of the generals and leaders of these Western Region countries are often bullied by the Kushan people, and they are not very harmonious, but today everyone was just drinking, so it seemed that they put aside the dirty things on weekdays and just asked for help. Just have fun.

Amidst the drunkenness, there were even some guards from the Western Region Allied Forces. They cut strips of meat with knives and put them on sharpened branches. They barbecued the Kushan people on the bonfire in exchange for free praise from the Kushan soldiers. The atmosphere on both sides seemed to be So good...

However, when Busen stood up, everything changed.

The person holding the sharp branch of the barbecue stabbed the sharp end into the mouth of the Kushan soldier who was waiting to be fed!

The one holding a meat-cutting knife in his hand also thrust the short blade directly through the vital gap between the armor and stomach of the Kushan soldiers!

The man who just now called his good brothers to drink together also snatched the sword from the Kushan soldier and chopped off the head of the Kushan soldier who was still confused and didn't understand what happened with one blow!

The head flew up and fell with blood mixed with it. The eyes that had not had time to close seemed to be full of doubts.

"Do it!"

』

I don’t know who is shouting.

Some of the guards of the Western Regions Allied Forces who were sitting with the Kushan soldiers suddenly rose up, drew out the short blades they had been hiding, and slashed at the Kushan soldiers, while other guards of the Western Regions Allied Forces were still in a daze. Holding the wine bowl and holding the bones and meat in a daze.

Soon, the Kushan soldiers also reacted. No matter whether the guards of the Western Regions Allied Forces around them were holding knives or meat, they just screamed and killed them all. This indiscriminate counterattack caused more Western Regions Allied Forces to attack. The guards were forced into the killing.

Streams of blood spurted out and splashed on the bonfire, making a squeaking sound.

A pair of feet stomped around, covering the surrounding area with blood.

The screams suddenly tore away all the previous harmony and gentleness!

Taksa had already thrown the wine bag on the ground, and let the kumiss flow on the ground. He stared at Bu Sen. He was sober from his drunkenness, but he was not too panicked. He wanted to see what Bu Sen wanted. What to do? Although some of the Western Region Allied Forces guards have attacked his men, this is still his royal tent! Surrounded by his generals and soldiers, how could Bu Sen defeat him here? !

But for some reason, his heart just sank involuntarily, as if something was pulling on it, making him feel cramps in his chest and abdomen.

"You want to rebel against me?" ! ” Taksa was extremely angry and roared at Busen. He wanted to understand why, “You actually rebelled against me at this time! 』He felt that his guards were now standing behind him, and more Kushan soldiers were coming from a distance, giving him an advantage.

"if not? General," Busen also stared at Taksa, "are you waiting to drag us into the abyss? It's all over, tonight. 』

"I can lead you to victory!" victory! ” Taksa felt that the cramp in his heart seemed to be getting more and more painful, but it also made him more and more angry, and of course, more and more panicked.

"There is no victory... Han reinforcements are coming... Their general is coming..." Bu Sen's tone was still as steady as a stone.

Taksa waved his arms, "If I can defeat one Han general, I can defeat the second one!" 』

Busen finally smiled, but the meaning behind the smile was very subtle, "You can't defeat anyone." You are already dead. it's over……"

"I didn't... poof!" ” Taksa was about to roar, but he spit out a mouthful of blood, and then his body softened and he fell to the sky.

The guards behind Taksa rushed forward to help him in panic, but unexpectedly, several more people also fell down with blood spurting out, and they suddenly became a mess.

Bu Senheshi recited the Buddha's name, showing his compassion, "Just save them..."

Immediately, the monks around Busen all responded to the Buddha's name, jumped forward, and performed physical salvation.

Taksa's guards wanted to resist, but their stomachs were cramping. The more they drank, the more painful they became, and they were soon killed by the distracted monks. , only a few who drank less were left to encourage resistance.

A monk stood in front of Taksa, looked down at Taksa who was still struggling to breathe, and then raised the blood-stained long stick...

"Hold on. Busen stepped forward and said calmly in Taksa's expectant eyes, "Let me come." 』

"..." Taksa couldn't help but shouted hoarsely with the last of her strength, "Why... why..."

Busen pulled out the knife from the monk's waist, looked at the blade, and sighed slightly, "I poisoned both you and the Han general... It's just that you were poisoned, but the Han general was not... 』

"How did you... Oh, by the way... Heh, cough cough..." Taksa was stunned at first, then seemed to think of something, and suddenly said, "It turns out... you have been taking advantage of me all along. I……"

Busen didn't answer, just slashed down the knife in his hand.

Blood spurted out and stained Busen's almost dark brown leather robe. It was not visible at all, but it just seemed to make the blood-stained areas of the leather robe a little brighter.

Busen lifted Taksa's head into his hands, and then looked at it, especially touching Taksa's skull carefully, "It's a pity, if it wasn't given to the Han people... This skull is really round, it can be made One...forget it, just pretend. By the way, the skin from his back and leg bones were removed, which would be of some use..."

The monk on one side didn't hesitate at all or had any strange emotions. He immediately followed Busen's instructions, peeling off the skin and removing the bones.

With the death of Taksa, the destruction of these people in Kushan has basically become a foregone conclusion. At this moment, the elites of the Western Region countries who were absorbed under the direct control of Taksa raised their swords to attack the Kushan people.

Just during the day before, they were still the targets of the Kushan people's scoldings. The obedient Kushan people would rush to do whatever they said, like docile dogs. But at night, they turned into addicts. The bloody rabid dogs, howling and barking, chopped down the Kushan people and killed them.

The sound of fighting around him gradually became fainter, and Tong Grojia came to Master Busen with the smell of blood, "Master, I'm here, what should I do now?" 』

Bu Sen clasped his hands together, and seemed to have transformed back into the compassionate old monk. "According to the original agreement, we will divide the Kushan property among us. Then you will go back quickly and be prepared to disperse and avoid the Han people... I will take you with me." Take this evil man's head and go to the Han general..."

"Grandmaster! Tong Geluojia was shocked, "The Han people will kill you!" 』

Busen smiled and said: "The Western Region is so big. If we want to truly integrate it, how can we do it without sacrificing some people?" I gave the head of General Kushan to the Han people just to let the Han people fight with the Kushan people... As for me... haha, I really hope the Han people can kill me..."

"Why...why?" ” Tong Geluojia asked.

Busen pointed at Taksa's headless body, "Killing me means that the Han general has no other better way... Just like him, if the poisoning of the Han general can succeed, he will need to be killed." What? So if I kill him, it proves that I have reached the end of the road... The rest of the road is for you to go... Do it, the Han people will probably come soon..."

The smoke from the campfire.

The chaotic night finally passed. The coalition forces in the Western Regions began to withdraw one after another in the middle of the night. When the sun rose the next day, Tong Grojia knelt down in front of Busen and said goodbye. After the last group of people from the Western Regions left, Bu Sen and the monks were the only ones left among the debris and bones.

There were also other diners who came to join the "banquet" when they saw the humans retreating. These diners and humans passed by each other, as if no one could see anyone, and no one could stop anyone.

Busen looked at the hawks that were circling and screaming in the sky, and at the various carnivores that smelled the blood and came from all directions, especially the vultures that rushed to the ground, and said slowly: " Let people put the eagle away, the dog's head is withered... Be careful of hurting the eagle. 』

Behind Busen, someone blew the eagle whistle, and the flying eagle hovering in the sky flew down like an arrow and landed on the man's shoulder.

Bu Sen smiled, with a kind face, and pointed at the corpses on the ground, "Go and cut some good meat for it..."

Watching the monks feeding the eagle, Bu Sen took a long breath, stood up, looked around, titheed to the monks, and declared the Buddha's name, "I'm going first." 』

Everyone prostrated themselves.

There were two or three others who were accompanying Bu Sen. They also paid tithes, and then the one who carried the box and the one who carried the burden followed Bu Sen, as if they were heading to Xihai City, not the guillotine. But it's like Wangxiangtai.

The rest of the monks began to chant sutras in unison, and the bursts of Sanskrit sounds, accompanied by the excited chirps and howls of predators not far away, formed the most wonderful and weird music in this desert...
