Chapter 1609 Pursuit and Rivals


    ??If you want to frighten the group of people in Luoyang, you must first frighten the people on your own side. Fei Qian looked at Ma Pants and Voldemort with a smile, uh, no, is it Voldemort? Hmm, it still doesn’t seem right.


    Fei Qian lowered his head and looked at a bamboo slip on the desk, and found a human life, oh, it was Kuzila.


    ??Marcus was wearing a long-distance Roman style, with one shoulder exposed, two pieces of cloth dangling from the front and back, and a gold braided belt tied around his waist, giving him the look of a nouveau riche. But Marcus still felt very comfortable to wear his own clothes again, and walked swaying in front.


    ??Following Marcus was Kuzila, the descendant of the White Horse Temple who originally practiced ascetic training in Qingniu Temple, um, Qinglong Temple. Wearing an ephedra monk''s robe, plus a cassock draped diagonally, it was also inlaid with some gold and silver threads. The aura of wealth covered the original skinny body, and he looked like a ghost, with a good appearance.


    Fei Qian looked left and right with interest, observing the reactions of everyone in the hall.


    Pang Tong knew this a long time ago, so when he saw Fei Qian''s gaze, he smiled, his black face like a bun glowing with oil.


    ?This guy, if he continues to eat like this, he will develop fatty liver sooner or later...


    No, we had to tie him to the army for training that day. Otherwise, Luofengpo might not have been there, but it would have been more likely that he would have been the strategist who crushed the horse...


    Pang Tong (°ー°〃)?


    As for Zhang Liao on the side, he basically didn''t understand the situation at all. Like most of the people in the hall, he was staring at Marcus and Kuzila with interest, with some probing eyes, and he seemed to be Thinking about something.


    Xun Chen on the other side knew half of it, so now he was basically looking at Kuzila, obviously he had some thoughts, and then he looked back at Fei Qian and nodded slightly.


    Fei Qian laughed twice, focused everyone''s attention on himself again, and then said: "Come on, let me introduce you, this person is the envoy of the Kingdom of Qin in the far west, Maku Si, this one, a person who practices Buddhism, a monk from the land of body..." In ancient India, it was called body poison. Fei Qian changed a word, and the meaning was completely different. Kuchila also agreed with it, and Name him immediately.


    Following Fei Qian''s introduction, Ma Pengtai raised a hand to greet everyone, but revealed a tuft of yellow hair under his armpits...


    ??On the other hand, Kuzila clasped his hands together and lowered his eyebrows in a way that made people feel more comfortable.


    Through the psychological construction and constant adjustment in the past few days, both Marcus and Kuzila basically recognized their new identities. As a return group for Fei Qian who was promoted to hussar general, they will follow Fu Dian to Luoyang.


    ?Of course, Xun You, who was originally accompanying him, will stay in Chang''an, and Yang Xiu, the envoy sent by Fei Qian, will also go with him.


    As a member of the Hongnongguan clan, Yang Xiu is naturally the most appropriate person to serve as an envoy. The most important thing is that Fei Qian, the other person, is also worried. One is that if Cao Cao likes Xun You, he will also take care of him. If the gourd draws the scoop, wouldn''t you lose money?


    On the other hand, Yang Xiu is still not a core figure, so a lot of information is not clear at all. Of course, depending on Yang Xiu''s intelligence, he can guess some, but after all, the guess is still a guess, and it is still different from the specific truth. There are some gaps, so don’t worry too much about the strategy in Chang’an being leaked too much in advance…


    “Come on, tell us about your hometown...”


    ?Fei Qianle leisurely greeted the guards, brought cushions for Marcus and Kuzila, and then asked Marcus and Kuzila to start telling some stories about their hometown.


    Kuchila is obviously very eloquent, so he doesn''t talk much. However, I don''t know if his description of the Buddhist kingdom is his own original imagination, something he heard from his master, or something he read in Buddhist scriptures. He spoke in great detail, about the flowing rivers of fragrance, the paving of white jade, and the beams of gold. The corners of Marcus'' eyes kept dancing as he listened...


    “How can a country with a poisonous body be so wealthy?”


    Everyone was talking a lot.


    Fei Qian nodded slightly and said with a smile: "According to someone''s knowledge, Shendu and the surrounding countries all worship Buddha as a whole. They devote all their efforts to support a city, so they are naturally rich, and what they say is true. In addition, Shendu The country is rich in gold, and all the large and small utensils in the palace are decorated with gold, and the gold mines are rich in gold mines..."


    “Oh…” Everyone suddenly understood. However, I was still muttering in my heart, and then I couldn''t help but glance at the beams above the hall, to estimate if these beams were all gold, then I took a breath, and then looked at Ku, who was covered in gold and silver. Zilla, licked her lips...


    Of course, most of these people have never studied engineering, and they naturally do not know that if the quality of gold is used as a beam, even if someone really uses it, they will probably be crushed to death under the gold beam soon.


    Kuchila himself doesn''t think there is any problem, because in Buddhism, the description of the Paradise is originally like this. Not only is it paved with gold, but there is also the Seven Treasures Lotus Pond and the Eight Merit Waters. When the people there have any needs, At that time, every animal and plant can not only meet the needs, but also sing the Dharma of the wonderful sound of Brahma...


    In fact, when the Buddha first described the Western Paradise, what he wanted to express was not that the Western Paradise was very rich, but that he wanted to tell the common people in the world that they have spent their lives pursuing and desperately acquiring money and gold in the mortal world. Diamonds, agates, emeralds and other seven treasures are worthless in the Western Paradise. They are all used to pave the floor. It means that only by letting go of these greedy obsessions can mortals realize the original happiness of life...


    It''s a pity that the so-called common people in the mortal world must have these common thoughts, so when I heard Kuzila''s narration, I didn''t remember anything else. Instead, I spread the yellow scarf on the floor. The Qibao Manchi listened carefully and was deeply impressed. .


    Even Marcus on the side didn’t know what to say for a moment... Well, he was describing his own country...


    "Womenna..." Marcus choked and glared at Kuzila, "I have a lot of gold! Lots and lots! When Womenna eats, he has to spread a shit-colored blanket on the table..."


    Fei Qian coughed twice and asked, "Is it purple?" Because purple is a pigment collected from a conch or something, so it is extremely precious, just like the gold and jade threads of the Han Dynasty, and cannot be used by ordinary people.


    ??Marcus nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that''s right, it''s just shit!"


    Okay, you win, you continue...


    ?Fei Qian waved his hand and stopped correcting Marcus''s pronunciation problem.


    Although Marcus spoke with a strange accent, he also described to everyone present a rich and extravagant country. In that country, food was transported from all over the world, and only the front of the main dish was The appetizers served include mussels, spines, chickens, oysters, sea nettles, deer ribs, purple clams, songbirds, etc.; the main dishes include sow''s ribs, boar''s heads, fish, ducks, cocktails, and hares. , chicken, snacks, sweets and more. The tableware used was either made of gold and silver or inlaid with gems. Not only did he wear the most expensive fabrics, but he also needed to apply olive oil on his body. Marcus felt a little resentful about this. The big man has been here for such a long time, but he has not been able to apply oil once... ? ? ? Then he talked about a huge arena. Every day in the arena, there are fights between beasts and people, and even warriors and warriors. The winner will be He will gain supreme glory and wealth, and he will also be madly favored by the noble ladies of ancient Rome...


    In ancient Rome, pipes and canals were built from the snowy mountains just to take a bath...


    ?In ancient Rome, only the poor went to restaurants to eat, while the rich always ate at home...


    In ancient Rome, there were millions of troops distributed in various villages and cities, waiting for the emperor''s call at any time...


    In ancient Rome, sailing ships crowded the Mediterranean Sea. Thousands of people liked to live on the sea. They could sail for months or even half a year without having to dock...


    Fei Qian kept a straight face while listening, trying not to reveal any flaws.


    The same is true for the ancient Rome described by Marcus, but in fact, there are many things that Marcus himself added with exaggeration, and there are also many things that Marcus did not talk about. The weird things about ancient Rome are not just Lead was used, and a lot more…


    Just like the so-called world''s first public toilets and public bathhouses that have been praised by the West for hundreds of thousands of years, it seems that Westerners have stepped into civilized society since ancient Rome, but in fact it is not the same at all. .


    Even if future generations fail, eating from a big pot will still lead to laziness. In the ancient Roman period, how high can we expect the quality of the people to be?


    Therefore, public toilets do exist, and they are indeed an innovation of ancient Rome. However, the problem is that since all public toilets are public, no one cleans them every day, so you can imagine the mess in public toilets. It has become a breeding ground for various pests, rats and mice, and bacteria and fungi that were completely uncontrollable and unknown even in ancient Rome...


    Even in the ancient Roman period, when you couldn''t hold it in anymore and wanted to solve a personal problem, you needed to pray to the gods so that you could go in and come out intact, without being exposed to all kinds of pests in the toilet. Rats gnaw…


    In addition to the extravagance in life, the customs of ancient Rome were also quite interesting.


    For example, in ancient Rome, there were people who specialized in collecting urine, and it needed to be fresh urine, and then used it to wash clothes and even brush teeth. In ancient Roman poetry, it was written that the reason why teeth are white is Not only that, there are also people who collect sheep dung, grind the ram dung **** into powder, add seasonings, and make a drink. It is said that they will have the same bed ability as a ram, and only nobles will Only then are you eligible to enjoy it.


    ??Then a pattern like Ding Ding will be carved on the road, and Ding Ding will point to the nearest service studio...


    ?There is also a statue of the God of the Momentary Sun Sheep, and the statue of the True Sun Sheep, what is its specific name...


    What about human blood steamed buns? China has them, and Rome also has them. Even because of the excessive admiration of gladiator culture in the country, even the dead skin of gladiators, because the Romans like to apply oil, will crawl on the ground after applying it. Fighting, coupled with human body secretions, so people use wooden boards to scrape them when taking baths, and the dead skin scraped off will be adjusted into the favorite cosmetics of ancient Roman ladies, used to apply them, hoping to gain benefits like gladiators and improve themselves. The charm attracts everyone''s attention.


    Of course, China also has these ridiculous things, such as the popular powder made from five colors of stones, which can lead to immortality when taken...


    ?Fei Qian’s main purpose today is to reaffirm the goals and direction for everyone.


    As a commander-in-chief, it is undoubtedly dangerous to not know the direction of one''s own progress, and as the various people around Fei Qian, they also need to know the future direction of the political group they are in before they can continue to pursue it. Motivation, otherwise it will be easy to stop and lose yourself.


    As an opponent or target, Shen Du, who undoubtedly believes in Buddhism and appears to be stupid and rich, and a huge, wealthy and vast Da Qin, are naturally more suitable as the Han Dynasty.


    ??Of course, there is also rest. We may not necessarily fight immediately, but we must let the people of the Han Dynasty know that behind these mountains and rivers, in the depths of the desert, there are not only the Xiongnu and Xianbei, but also more powerful enemies.


    At the same time, Fei Qian deliberately arranged this, and also had another intention...


    ??As Marcus described it, everyone who was still smiling gradually fell silent, looking at each other, exchanging glances with doubts.


    Fei Qian clapped his hands to express his appreciation for Marcus and Kuzila, and then asked people to send the two people down first. Then he looked around and said to everyone in the hall: "The vastness of the world can be seen from this. ! The prosperity of the world is not exclusive to China! As the saying goes, no matter how big the country is, if it is warlike, it will be destroyed; if the world is peaceful, if it forgets to fight, it will be in danger! This time the Han Dynasty is strong, and if the Han Dynasty is weak, the envoys will come. …”


    "The people of Shandong are ignorant and fighting with each other. Little do they know that there are people in the world who are even more tyrannical than the Xiongnu and Xianbei! If millions of soldiers come sweeping in, who can resist them and who can resist them?" Fei Qian He said in a deep voice, "The fire of China has been passed down from generation to generation, and our ancestors have moved forward bravely, so that we can have the splendor of today! If because of our greed, we only seek the wealth and honor of our own family and ignore the inheritance of China, it will lead to the destabilization of China, the disaster of the country, and the loss of the clan. Cutting off the incense! What a sin!”


    Everybody is in awe.


    “Dezu!” Fei Qian looked at Yang Xiu.


    ?Yang Xiu quickly stood up, walked out of the crowd, and bowed in the hall, "I''m here!"


    "Since you are called Dezu, you are going to Shandong as an envoy to promote the virtues of the Chinese ancestors!" Fei Qian said to Yang Xiu, "In the past, white waves invaded Hedong, disrupted the place, and killed officials. They only focused on fighting with each other and using their Because of the scabies disease, there is no need to send troops!"


    "In the past, Xianbei invaded Shangjun, forced to move the administrative office, and displaced the people. They turned a deaf ear and regarded them as quarrelsome people! There is no need to fight! We will retaliate!"


    "In the past, the Qiang people brought trouble to Liangyong, kidnapped the emperor, and killed hundreds of officials. They all fought to escape, thinking that they were tigers and wolves, and they did not dare to become enemies! This is what we have decided!"


    "Now I am a hussar of the Han family, and I am also guarding the fence of China!" Fei Qian said in a deep voice, "Those who want to fight within China, go to Shandong! Those who want to defend China, come to Guanzhong! Dezu, please tell them, Three thousand soldiers are here to protect your majesty. The rest of the court is fighting for power and gain, so don''t bother me!"


    ?Yang Xiu immediately kowtowed on the wooden floor in the hall, making a loud sound, "I obey your order!"
