Chapter 1971 Sun Clone, Chigu Falls
Dahan Taixing four years, the fifth day of January.
Lv Bu stood on a high point on the hillside, looking at Chigu City in the distance. This was the last city of the Guishuang people, and it was also the first city that these guys originally invaded the Western Regions.
Originally, the people of Guishuang thought they could hold on to the city of Ju''andu, but in fact they didn''t expect that Lu Bu had gunpowder. Amidst the huge roar of a surprise attack, the gate of Ju''andu was blown open, and the so-called holding on became a joke.
All the countries in the Western Regions suddenly fell to the Han people, and even Kucha, who originally followed the Guishuang people, quickly expressed their obedience...
Guishuang people had no choice but to retreat here again.
Chigu City, the city is named after it was built in a red valley. There are city walls at the front and back, and huge red mountains on both sides. The entire city is formed by enclosing a long valley. In the north of Chigu City, there is a lake called Issyk-Kul Lake, which probably means "God Pearl".
After the lesson of Ju''an crossing the city, the Guishuang people sealed the city gate with stones and sand. Although they cut off their own way out of the city, they also avoided the risk of being blown open again.
Most of the Guishuang people have retreated into Chigu City. This is an important pass in the northwest of the Western Regions, and it was also a barrier to defend the Western Regions. However, it has declined as early as the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, and no one paid attention to it in the Eastern Han Dynasty. , the ministers in the court couldn''t see it at all.
Out of Chigu City, go north to Wusun. You can even leap directly to Lake Balkhash. Of course, the deserts in this era are not as big as the later generations, and many places are only slightly deserted. After the small ice river at the end of the Han Dynasty, the vegetation in these places will not be able to survive, and most of them will die before making these areas part of the desert. .
Lu Bu led his troops and set up camp about five miles away from the mountain pass of Chigu City.
Lu Bu looked up at the bright red sunrise in the sky, full of thoughts.
Lu Bu feels that now he seems to have returned to the happiest time of the year, but it seems to be different. Lu Bu used to think that happiness is not important, but official position is important, but after he got an official position, he found that he seemed to have lost happiness.
『Hussars are rebuilding Jiuyuan? ’ Lu Bu asked slowly.
Jiang Jiong nodded and said: "General Zhao has rebuilt the county in Changshan, and Jiuyuan is the transit point from Yinshan to Changshan, so we started to restore it..."
『Mmm…』 Lu Bu nodded, then smiled slightly, and said, 『When I get old, I must go back and have a look. 』
Before Jiang Jiong could respond, the smile in Lu Bu''s eyes gradually turned cold. Looking at Chigu City in the distance, he said, "Are you ready?" 』
Jiang Jiong looked back and saw that the military academy not far away had erected a red and blue corner flag representing the completion of preparations, and hurriedly reported: "Report to the Chief Protector, everything is ready!" 』
Lu Bu nodded, and then glanced at the people from the Western Regions who were carefully watching the battle from a distance, "Zhong Yi, you go and watch those guys...after Chigu City is captured..."
Jiang Jiong hesitated for a moment, then scratched the back of his head.
"how? 』Lu Bu noticed Jiang Jiong''s small movements.
『Da Du Hu...』Jiang Jiong glanced at the stone cannon positions erected in the distance, and then said, "Although...we have never used these things...if it works..."
Lu Bu smiled and said, "You can trust hussars." 』Of course, more importantly, no one thought that the Han people would mobilize troops on the fifth day of the first lunar month, so no one would have thought that it would be the best time.
Jiang Jiong suddenly sweated on his forehead.
Lu Bu patted Jiang Jiong, "Go! 』
『Only! 』Jiang Jiong hurriedly turned around and left.
Lu Bu turned his head and looked at the stone cannon positions in the distance. These trebuchets, and even the people who operated them, were transported all the way from Guanzhong. It is said that 20 catapults were originally transported, but now only 14 have arrived. The remaining six units have been dismantled into parts and become a part of the other fourteen units.
More importantly, the new type of kerosene...
The original kerosene is very viscous, which means that the natural weight is not light, and the weight is not light, which means that it is inconvenient to transfer, but now, lighter kerosene can mean that you can send more, Throw farther.
『Let’s begin…』
Lu Bu ordered.
…(*`ェ*)…
『Let’s begin…』
With the first sound of the chime bell, the grand feast of the Xu County Palace officially began.
In order to show prosperity and repair the conflict between Cao Cao and Liu Xie, Xun Yu invested a lot in the royal banquet this time, and the grand banquet will last from morning to dusk.
At this time, in the side hall, the ministers sat in rows according to shifts, and their food tables had already set up fine wine and several types of dishes.
On such an occasion, since etiquette is the main thing, those dishes are prepared in advance, and the hot and cold aromas are naturally out of the question, only the colors are bright and eye-catching. After all, after a lengthy etiquette, when it is served, even It was just made, and naturally there was not much heat left, not to mention that no one was hungry to eat it on such an occasion.
During the banquet, ritual and music are naturally the focus, and chatting with each other is not forbidden at the same time. As long as the voice is not too loud, it is generally within the allowed range.
Liu Xie is wearing a crown of guns and a suit of twelve chapters today, sitting on the imperial bed, looking refreshed and dignified.
The vocal music of each part gradually joined in, and gradually entered the main theme of the movement, and became more and more excited. Liu Xie turned his eyes and looked at Liu Ye who had talked about "Ritual and Music" with him in the hall a few days ago, and found that Liu Ye seemed to be looking at him too.
Liu Xie has been thinking for a long time these days before he finally understands some of the meanings Liu Ye refers to, but once he understands it, how to get rid of these disadvantages has become a new problem. Liu Xie really wanted to find another chance to talk to Liu Ye, but obviously, now was not the best occasion.
Liu Xie turned his head slightly, and suddenly found that Cao Hong was staring at him with piercing eyes during the banquet. He couldn''t help being startled, and quickly turned his eyes away as if nothing had happened, and turned to other directions.
Xun Yu, who was sitting at the banquet, didn''t seem to see anything, and he seemed to see everything. He squinted his eyes slightly, as if he was listening to the lyrics of ritual music, and seemed to be thinking about something else.
Gradually, the song came to an end, the singing gradually weakened, and the human voice became noisy. In the main hall, many courtiers present could be heard chanting or admiring the solemn and elegant words of the lyrics.
Some people even say that it is a new year and a new atmosphere, and the Chinese music is a good movement, which symbolizes that under the leadership of Emperor Liu Xie, the Han Dynasty will move towards a new and bright future...
Liu Xie smiled, but asked himself over and over again in his heart, is it really possible to embark on a new path of being a great man?
After the song ended, Liu Xie raised his glass and invited all the ministers to drink together.
The ministers responded one after another.
…(｀)Ψ…
『This is a new beginning...』
Fei Qian touched Xiao Fei Zhen''s head, and said slowly, in a very low voice.
Xiao Feizhen lowered her head and was concentrating on fixing a Luban lock.
There are some things that Fei Qian can''t say easily. I am afraid that in this world, only in front of Xiao Feizhen can he mutter to himself occasionally.
『In this world, the most terrifying thing is not tigers, not swords and guns, but people... Tigers only hurt people, but people treat people like pigs...』
『I have seen a movie before, in which AI uses people as batteries... But actually think about it, what if those AIs represent not machines, but a class? Ordinary people living in it, will they find that they are actually a battery? 』
『As long as the signal transmitted to the brain nerve is happy, then it is acceptable even to make a hole in the back, isn’t it? 』
『As a class grows and matures, it will naturally think about how they grew up, how they gained weight, etc., and they will inevitably think that if one day, a new group of guys appear...』
『So what should we do? Is the result happiness... just give these people happiness, tell these people to enjoy themselves in time, to consume ahead of time, and after these people have been in debt for ten, twenty, thirty years, these people can only be honest. Waiting to make a good battery...''
『Don’t think, don’t think about anything, don’t need to think at all, just do what you say, anyway, happiness is given...as long as you are happy, isn’t it? 』
"Short-term paralysis, although every time the paralysis is followed by emptiness, as long as the paralysis continues, all you can touch is happiness, and numbness is naturally enough...There will be a lot of people saying that life is so bitter, How can you not find happiness...』
『So in the end the scriptures were changed, and the law was also changed...The son of the gentry kept saying that he represented the majority of the people, but who did he actually represent? 』
『Because all classes know how they got up, they will cut off the way they used to go... Only the words "happiness" and "luck" are left...』
"Thinking articles will be abandoned and covered up, and in-depth documentaries will be cut in half and cancelled. No one will study history, and they will not have any interest in past events. It is good to live in the present, and the rest is Entertaining, funny, I just need batteries anyway, no need for a new CPU...』
『I don’t know how long I can do it, how far I can go, but I want to keep some of it, like a new beginning, there is always a new direction...』
『People in Huaxia should stand taller...』
Xiao Feizhen focused on fighting, and didn''t listen to his father muttering something. Then, with a "click", he put the last piece of wood together, twisted and locked it tightly, and raised it with a laugh: "Daddy! look! 』
Feiqian smiled, "Not bad, not bad... By the way, why don''t I see you reading?" 』
Xiao Feizhen shook her head and said: "If you don''t read, reading is not fun..."
Fei Qian was taken aback for a moment, then narrowed his eyes slightly...
…\\(^o^)/…
In front of Chigu City, horns and drums of different lengths sounded one after another, battle flags of various colors moved alternately, the neighing of war horses and the shouts of soldiers resounded everywhere, and the tense atmosphere of the imminent war suffocated the entire mountain.
On Lv Bu''s flank, there was a group of people, all from various countries in the Western Regions, including Weixu people, Shache people, Raoqiang people, and some people from small countries such as Loulan and Jingjue, standing aside in awe, watching Follow the formation formed by the army of the big man.
Amusi from Shache looked up at the sky, then squinted at the white sun. The strong sunlight burned Amsi''s eyes fiercely like ten thousand sharp arrows, which made him close his eyes suddenly. In the darkness, he saw an orange light flickering violently in front of his eyes, like the cold light on the swords and guns of Han people. Amsey was dizzy for a while, and unconsciously held the rein tightly with both hands, so as not to make a fool of himself.
The Han people are too strong...
this is too scary. Amsi even has a feeling that in this world, the only ones who can defeat the Han people are the Han people themselves.
Why did I follow the Guishuang people?
Nature is for land and wealth.
If you can''t get land and wealth, what''s the point of following the Guishan people?
So, now that the Han people are here, the Guishuang people can’t bear it, so what’s wrong with falling to the Han people?
Thinking of the accusations and abuses of some unrepentant clansmen in his family, Amsi was very angry. Times have changed...
Guishuang people are indeed strong. They have been strong in the Western Regions for decades, nearly a hundred years, but so what? The Guishuang people were beaten back again and again by the Han people, and now they have to hide in this Chigu city, which is said to never fall, and let the Han people easily form formations and prepare outside, but they have no ability to fight back, and they don’t even have the courage to go out of the city to fight. ?
Is such a Guishuang person worth following? The muscles on Amsi''s face twitched slightly.
Since the defeat in Haitou, the Han people have swept across the entire Western Region like a broken bamboo. From a certain point of view, it is true that the land in the Western Region is slack and there is not much defense. But from another point of view, the Han people are unexpected. The strength outside is also shocking.
Amsi thought of Anggu, the leader of the Guishan people, and then looked at the Han general in the distance, uh, the general guard, and Amsi repeated the word softly, trying to pronounce the words correctly and standardize the pronunciation. That old guy Angu is no longer good, he is old and useless.
The general guard of the Han people is very strong, so strong that every time Amsey sees him, he has to work hard to control himself so as not to tremble all over.
Angu has always said that the Han people are not good at this and that is useless, but Amsi now thinks that they are all lies. In fact, it should be that the Han people voluntarily withdrew from the Western Regions back then, cultivated their health and rest for decades, and then returned to kill them again!
A nation that can swallow their anger and save silently for a great battle decades later is very terrifying...
Amsi even looked enviously at the guy from the Yun clan standing in front of the Han people''s general guard, thinking about what he should do in order to gain the trust of the Han people''s general guard, and to be like that Yuner, to get a job in the capital. Protect the front position.
『咚咚…』
The war drum suddenly sounded violently, interrupting Amsi''s thoughts, and then Amsi was surprised to find that in the strange array of Han people, the long wooden poles were tilted up, and then popped out one by one black spots...
…)Д(…
The heart of Angu from Guishuang was beating violently. He took a long breath, looked up at the blue sky, and slowly closed his eyes. The supreme Buddha, the merciful Bodhisattva , Bless me, bless the Guishuang people, bless all the people in Chigu City, can resist the attack of the Han people.
The war drums of the Han people roared, like rolling thunder, blasting over Chigu City, and roaring in the hearts of all Guishuang people. Looking at the Han soldiers and horses moving slowly in the distance, Angu''s eyes hurt a little from the cold light of the Han soldiers, and he couldn''t help looking away, but saw the faces of his soldiers standing on the city wall. It sank suddenly. Almost all the people in Guishuang showed a look of panic on their faces, their eyes were full of fear, and their hands holding weapons were trembling slightly.
『Stand up straight, hold your chest out...the Han people are nothing to be afraid of...'' Angu raised his hands and shouted loudly, 『This place is extremely solid and covered by mountains, the Han people can’t kill them, they can’t get in...』
Although Angu tried his best to encourage, his voice was too weak to be heard on the battlefield where the drums were thundering. The surrounding Guishuang soldiers stared blankly at the Han iron cavalry in the distance, their desperate eyes were as helpless and shocking as seeing the approach of death.
Angu had seen this kind of look in the eyes of many people from the Western Regions, but he didn''t expect to see it in the eyes of his own people today...
Anggu was in a hurry, "Han people, don''t be afraid of Han people!" Han people have nothing to fear...we are the great Guishuang, we have the protection of the Buddha and the protection of the Bodhisattva...』
『General! what is that? ! 』
Angu was shouting, but he heard the guards on the side roaring in panic, even his voice was cracked, like a male duck whose throat was pinched.
Anggu turned his head suddenly, but in a trance, he saw that it was like the sun in the sky suddenly split into a dozen clones, with a chilling faint orange, and then rushed towards him at an extremely fast speed!
『Boom! 』
『Fire! ah ah ah...」
More than a dozen "little suns" fell on Chigu City, some of them hit the bottom of the city wall, some of them crossed the city wall and fell farther away, and only one happened to land on the city wall!
Anggu just felt that all the scenery in front of him seemed to be shaken for a while, and then an extremely huge flame burst out instantly, swallowing everything!
The heat wave is coming, and Angu can even hear his beard and hair being scorched and making a sizzling sound...
"Supreme Lord Buddha, a benevolent Bodhisattva..." Angu stared wide-eyed, trembling and twitching uncontrollably all over his body, "Lord Buddha, Bodhisattva, you, you, you have abandoned me. Abandoned us Guishuang people...』
Everything around seemed to be trembling and shaking, and then Angu saw more than a dozen small suns set in the sky, and one of them seemed to be smiling at him, shining with Buddha light...
『…』
Outside Chigu City, Amsi tremblingly looked at Chigu City, which was suddenly engulfed by flames, and involuntarily slipped off the horse, then trembling, knelt down on the ground and curled up into a ball, with his head deep buried deep in the sand. "The sun god... the Han people... the sun god..."
Around Amsi, there are other people from the Western Regions, all kneeling on the ground, curled up, trembling, like grass that has been devastated in the storm...
