Chapter 2917 The instigator has no successors
Autumn grass gradually turns yellow.
The world seems to be getting more and more bleak because of this.
The herdsmen gathered in the name of Buddha in the Western Regions have experienced the malice of heaven and earth before they tasted the taste of victory.
『The weather is getting colder and colder…』 Tong Geluojia said slowly.
This is an obvious fact, a fact that cannot be changed.
Bu Sen sat on one side, looking at the bonfire lit up in the distance, and exhaled. The air from the body formed smoke near the mouth, and then quickly dissipated in the air, just like their slogans and dreams.
There are no other people around, only Shanshan people, and some monk disciples of Busen.
"Master, your monk..." Tongge Luojia glanced back, his voice was very low, "It seems that there are quite a few..."
Bu Sen raised his eyebrows, "In the past few days, more than 800 people have left. 』
Tong Geluojia''s face froze, and then he laughed, "Is this... I read it wrong, the master has a lot of disciples..." Because the number Busen said was that of Tong Geluojia''s subordinate Shanshan, who was directly under the guard. The number of people who sneaked away in two days.
Bu Sen also nodded, "Yes, all your people are there too. 』
The two were silent for a while, and Tongge Luojia said, "Master, what about the other states?" 』
Tong Geluojia thinks Buddhism is very powerful, and Buddha is also very powerful. This greatness does not mean that the Buddha really has any great power and power, but that the set of teachings designed by the Buddha is very powerful. In other words, people like Busen, who are named after Buddha, but practice human affairs, are very powerful.
For example, the teachings of the Buddha say that you must not lie.
So when the monks appearing in the name of the Buddha asked some specific matters, the herdsmen would not lie, nor would they think of lying, because this was in front of the Buddha''s envoy, how could they lie?
In this way, any movement in the Western Regions can''t be hidden from those monks who are watching silently all the time and quietly hiding among the people.
Buddhism requires believers not to lie, but does the Buddha himself tell lies?
Buddha did not lie, he just said: "Don''t tell. 』
So Bu Sen also squinted his eyes slightly, clasped his hands together, and softly proclaimed the Buddha''s name, "Buddha said, don''t speak." 』
This is like some announcements of later generations, which only say something that can be said. As for other content, detailed processes, and specific matters, "nothing can be said." 』
『In that case, master, what are you afraid of? Tong Geluojia said, "Every country has left seeds, just like this piece of land in front of you. The grass withered this year, and it will grow again next year!" 』
This time, Busen was silent for a longer time, and finally said softly: "What if it doesn''t grow out?" 』
『Long...what? ! ’ Tong Geluojia was stunned.
Tong Geluojia''s face changed, as if the calm table case in his heart had been overturned now, and his heart was in a mess, so chaotic that he didn''t know what to say.
Busen raised a finger, pointed to the sky, then to the ground, and then to himself.
What''s the meaning?
Tong Geluojia''s eyes widened, "I am the only one in the sky and on the earth? Master, are you... going to become a Buddha? 』
Bu Sen showed a slight smile, in his eyes there were sober cruelty and obsessive madness, mixed together, "Either you are reincarnated in heaven, or you will fall into **** forever..."
Tong Geluojia thought for a moment, then shook his head, "I don''t understand, master. 』
Bu Sen glanced at Tong Geluojia, "Don''t say it. 』
Tong Luojia: "..."
Bu Sen didn''t give Tong Ge Luojia more time, he waved his hand, "The time is up... just do what you think, this is the true meaning of the Buddha. 』
Although Tong Geluojia still has some questions to ask, some questions have not been answered, but just like what Bu Sen said, his time is up, and he saw the leader of Lao Qiang walking over from a distance...
Tong Geluojia bowed his head and bowed in front of Master Busen.
Master Busen stretched out a hand and stroked Tong Geluojia''s head.
Tong Geluojia stood up, bowed again, turned around and walked, and just made eye contact with the leader of the Yaoqiang passing by on the road, without even saying hello, and left with full of doubts .
…(O_o)??…
In the distance, Taxa stood on a small soil bag, watching Busen meet the leaders of the Western Regions one by one, with a very ugly expression on his face.
Busen did not act in secret, but found a place openly, and even met the leaders of these Western Region states not far from the Takesa king''s tent, which naturally attracted the attention of Takesa and others.
But the problem is that Taxa doesn''t have any good solutions, because he still needs the cannon fodder of the herdsmen in the Western Regions. If he kills Busen at this time, the Western Regions coalition forces may fall apart immediately.
『Damn it! Damn guy, this is threatening me! ”Takesa said angrily, “He is demonstrating! Demonstrate to me, the great General Kushan! I should really kick his ass... this old monkey, he''s showing that this place is still under his control! He has a way to make those generals obedient like a flock of sheep! One by one, they lined up waiting for his reception! Damn it, **** it! 』
That''s right.
Bu Sen is threatening Taxa.
Of course, it can also be said in reverse that it is appeasing the leaders of those Western Region states on behalf of Taxa.
It depends on how to understand it.
It’s like a government notice saying it’s a duck, so it must be a duck. It has nothing to do with tigers, and naturally it has little to do with flies and mice.
It''s just about people''s hearts.
The human life span is really too short, and it is easy to die. There is a shell with strong regeneration ability all over the body, but this shell can''t resist even a wooden thorn, just like other human organs, many of them seem to be used for nothing, as long as they don''t break down in thirty or forty years. Can. This may be the fundamental reason why human beings are short-sighted.
Thirty or forty years later, everything in my body starts to go wrong, and every day seems to be making money, so what is there to ignore? And why take a long-term view? Is the long-term thing related to yourself? I will be dead at that time, I can''t control anything, and it doesn''t matter.
It is even more so if there are no descendants and no descendants.
Those who want to understand these things will change their mood.
As for what it will look like, that is different for each.
Takesa''s heart, whether it is a deer or a horse, a duck or a mouse, is just a thought.
Before sending troops, Takesa may still have some conscience, but when he climbed to the position of the current commander of the coalition forces and the general of the Western Regions, he is used to seeing hundreds of herdsmen die, so continue to die again Hundreds and thousands, what''s the problem?
It''s like telling a lie for the first time, and your face will turn red.
The 10,000th time I told a lie, I believed it.
The first time I take money, my hands will shake.
The 10,000th time to take money, I don’t bother to take it if there is less.
The first time you kill someone, you will be scared.
The 10,000th time to kill someone is just a sore hand...
『General, need I ask what they said? ’Takesa’s confidant asked, ‘I’m going to find some generals of the small states, they dare not hide anything from us...ask a few more, and then compare them with each other, if they dare to lie to us, next time they will send They die! 』
『Are you an idiot? ! ’Taksa was furious, he stretched out his hand and slapped his confidant’s head, and slapped his helmet crookedly, ‘Now the states of the Western Regions are already dissatisfied with us, are you going to make them explode completely! They just have no reason, you are going to send the knife to their hands! 』
The confidant didn''t dare to resist, so he responded again and again, and waited for Takesa to calm down a little before asking: "General, what should we do now?" 』
『Do nothing! "Takesa said in a deep voice, "There is only one thing now, train our soldiers well!" The next battle may be our battle of life and death! 』
Everyone knows that the battle in the Western Regions is not easy now.
Then everyone is thinking about what to do, because the current "what if" is no longer "what if".
As for those ordinary herdsmen in the Western Regions, they didn’t know these things before, so they will continue to be ignorant now...
Anyway, at the beginning, these herdsmen in the Western Regions either dedicated their brains to the leaders of the Western Regions or to the Buddha. Let’s continue now. Anyway, it is impossible to return their brains to these ordinary herdsmen in the Western Regions.
The confidant nodded yes, then turned and went down the slope. Before that, Tagusa bit off some grease from the Western Regions, and now he has to digest it thoroughly. Before it was digested, Tagusa didn''t want to move.
So, this is why Busen dared to put it outside for Tagusa to see?
Takesa stood on the slope, stared at the people in the distance from Bu Sen for a while, then gritted his teeth, turned around and went down.
...(〃dish`) convex...
Xihai City.
Just as Zhang Liao and Han Zheng left Xihai City to carry out related matters, some "smart people" in Xihai were about to flee.
This is an invisible chamber of commerce.
Some businessmen gathered together and hugged each other.
Most human beings have the habit of cuddling together, and the characteristics of social animals will also be reflected in these businessmen.
There will never be a shortage of "smart people" in this world. Although Zhang Liao has ordered his soldiers to announce in the city that reinforcements from the General Hussars are about to arrive and that Xihai City is safe, some people still don''t believe it and think this is an official scam.
In a large courtyard in Xihai, a group of people on the left and a group on the right were squatting or standing in the corners of the houses, shivering on the brazier to keep warm, and scolding their mothers.
In autumn in the Western Regions, the temperature difference between morning and evening is already obvious, and the temperature at night often drops to single digits. Because of the war, some supplies were rationed, so the "luxury" behavior of sleeping alone in a room was no longer possible. In order to keep warm, and to protect some of the only goods they had, some people naturally gathered together .
A burly man walked into the yard, and when the people in the yard and the house saw him, they got up one after another. Those who greeted him greeted him, and those who called him brother called him brother. This person had a cold expression on his face that could only be seen after seeing the blood of life and death. Behind him were two men with knives, probably his guards.
From the names of other people, I generally know that this person’s surname is Guan, and he is called Guan Er. As for whether the ending is called Brother or Ye, that corresponds to the mutual level difference between the caller and the person being called. Guan Er was from Longyou. During the Western Qiang Rebellion, his father and he went to the Western Regions, and then started contacting Lv Bu when Fei Qian sent Lv Bu. Relying on his identity as a Han, he stayed in Xihai City.
Lu Bu left Xihai City, and the military power in the city was temporarily under the jurisdiction of Zhang Liao, but in fact Zhang Liao''s jurisdiction could not immediately make all the soldiers in the city feel at ease.
It''s like the boss of a large branch company is suddenly dismissed, and there is always some turmoil after a new leader comes. In addition, if there are no foreign enemies around Xihai City, there is a high probability that this kind of turmoil will gradually subside. However, the attack of the Western Region Allied Forces in Xihai City is already raging, as if the company is about to be annexed by other companies. Naturally, some guys have other thoughts...
If a company goes bankrupt, will the employees in the company live and die with the company?
If a country falls, will the people in the country live and die with the country?
The former is basically impossible, and the latter, whether it is thousands of years of history or modern bears, has proved that "coexistence and death" may exist on a small scale, but when it is expanded, The souls of all kinds of fun couldn''t hold back.
"How about it? 』
『Yes, second brother, how is the situation now? 』
『The Allied Forces of the Western Regions...are they really coming? 』
People from inside and outside the yard gathered in the living room, their eyes were closely following Guan Er, and some even held their breath, waiting for Guan Er to tell them a conclusion.
Guan Er sat at the top of the table, was silent for a while, and did not show off too much, then nodded and said: "The coalition forces from the Western Regions are really here!" General Zhang is gone! 』
As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar.
Before that, many people could temporarily deceive themselves, saying that the Allied Forces of the Western Regions would not come back, or they could find a reason for themselves to feel at ease, such as Dadu is here, General Zhang Liao is also here, etc. But now that Lu Bu has left, Zhang Liao is also here. left…
Those who have the perspective of God naturally know that Zhang Liao went to beat up the Western Regions Allied Forces, and the Western Regions Allied Forces are not so terrible, but the problem is that people in Xihai City, how can it be possible to obtain God''s perspective?
Because preparing for battle, we must first ensure the needs of the troops. Naturally, there will be insufficient supplies for the residents in the city. As the temperature drops, hunger and cold are inevitable. Whether it is an ordinary person or a businessman like Guan Er, Everyone has to eat, and if there is no food, they will naturally panic.
Now in Xihai City, there is a shortage of food and grass everywhere.
Even if someone has food on hand, he will not take it out easily, let alone distribute it to others for free, and this seemingly benevolent behavior may immediately lead to looting under the current circumstances , and then even the person who brought the food distribution will be stabbed to death on the spot, and it is not even known who stabbed to death...
"do you know? Some time ago, General Zhang had people confiscated... a lot of people..." Someone said in a low voice, "It can''t be said that General Zhang''s crunch is the flesh and blood of those people..."
『…』 Guan Er was silent, and the others were also silent.
...
Those who gathered in the yard were all merchants, big and small. These people came because of the wealth and business of Xihai City, and also made a lot of money in trade, and now they are trapped.
Guan Er didn''t want to die, and neither did the others.
Because they still have a lot of money to spend, if they die like this, wouldn’t the money be in vain for others?
『No, I have to go back! Someone said through gritted teeth, "We must go back!" Can''t stay here any longer! 』
"Yep! Can''t stay here anymore! 』
『Yes! The war is in chaos, and one more day of staying is the risk of one more day! 』
『I heard that there are tunnels in the city...』
"Shut up! Even if there is, it''s not our turn...」
Guan Er''s eyes skipped over everyone. These people all have some money, and they all made some money through trade between Han people and Hu people after the construction of Xihai City.
Of course, everyone present, whether it was Guan Er or others, believed that they had worked hard and worked hard to earn the current money.
Therefore, Zhang Liao''s inspection of Fatty''an made them fearful. How can you do something to a kind, mellow, and honest businessman? Fatty Ann was touched this time, so will it be their heads next time?
The money I have worked so hard to earn will be left to my children even if I die. How can it be snatched away by others?
Is there anything wrong with this?
Everyone was discussing, becoming more and more anxious.
『Where can I go after leaving Xihai City? 』
『Anywhere is better than Xihai City! There is going to be a war here! 』
"that is! Didn''t we live well before the Han Dynasty came to the Western Regions? 』
『But even if you want to leave now, you can’t, right? 』
There are merchants all around. Because these merchants are familiar with the situation in the Western Regions, they are mainly from the Western Regions, and those merchants who are biased towards the Han region went to Yumen Pass with people from some surrounding villages during the last migration and evasion.
Guan Er sighed, "I can contact Lao De... first find a place to avoid the limelight, if it is really safe, it will not be too late to come back..."
"who? 』
『Which Semu person? 』
『Didn’t you hear that he died? 』
Guan Er shook his head, "He''s hiding. We rescued him and let him find a safe place for us. 』
Lao De is a Semu person.
Guan Er and the others are Han Chinese.
But all of them have one thing in common, they are businessmen.
『How about...how about we go to Yumen Pass? ”Someone said with some hesitation, “Go to Han, Han…”
Before this person finished speaking, he was overruled by others, "Han Di? Are you stupid or stupid? Why did our parents and grandparents escape from China? Don''t you know it yourself? If those officials in Han had treated our fathers and grandparents better, we would not be here now! I don''t believe in Hu people, but I don''t believe in Han people either! 』
"that is! Look at the Han Chinese who are officials in Xihai City, don''t they look like the officials in the Han land before! 』
『How many people die, how many people die, those officials don’t care! It''s just a name change. Before it was said that the bandits in the mountains did the evil, but now Xihai said it was the horse bandits who did it! 』
"alright! "Guan Er said in a deep voice, "If you want to stay, stay, if you want to go, go!" But no matter which one you choose, you can''t betray your brother! If someone becomes a traitor, they will be chased and killed from the ends of the earth! 』
