Chapter 2923 The sound of wind and rain at night, how many heads have fallen
First of all, 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.
?Taishici died before he could succeed in his plan. He glared and almost bumped his head against the battlements.
Hide yourself well and not be exposed!
?Then he turned around and realized that Taishi Ci himself was indeed not exposed, but Xu Chu was exposed...
?There is also Feiqian.
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.
?Taishici''s heart was filled with the words "orange hemp and wheat peel".
??But Tai Shi 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...
Taxa 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 the gap, 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. We cannot fight the Han people head-on, and then we will most likely have to engage in guerrilla warfare. 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, the good news that came soon 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 to prepare, then the Han people could only do this...
It is always easy for the ignorant to get happiness, just like the favorite of the stick man is the stick. 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 at the head of the table, and sitting with him was Busen.
On both sides of the lower head are the leaders of the Western Region Allied Forces.
Further around, there are the Kushans from Taksa and the guards of the leaders of the Western Regions.
?Bu Sen 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. What bravery...
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 the same as repeated defeats. Language itself is very wonderful. People''s understanding abilities are 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 miserable situation in which he was beaten to the point of collapse by the Han generals was now said to be the Han people fleeing in panic!
?These frizzy guys were shouting, while 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 cheerful singing came from time to time.
Life in the Western Region is not very comfortable.
Most herdsmen, just like farmers in the Han region, 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! master! 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 Busen 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 long swords in their hands. The 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, Kushan soldiers and the leader guards of the Western Regions sat intertwined.
Although the guards of the generals and leaders of these Western Region countries were often bullied by the Kushan people on weekdays, and they were not very harmonious, today everyone was just drinking, so they seemed to put aside the dirty things on weekdays and just ask 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 stabbed the short blade directly through the vital gap between the armor of the Kushan soldiers!
??The man who just called his good brothers to drink together also snatched the sword from the side of the Kushan soldier and chopped off the head of the Kushan soldier who was confused and didn''t understand what was happening with one blow!
The head flew up and fell with blood mixed with it. The eyes that had not yet 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.
?A stream of blood spurted out and splashed on the bonfire, making a squeaking sound.
A pair of feet stomped around, causing the surrounding area to be filled with blood.
One scream after another, all the previous harmony and gentleness were completely torn apart!
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 his heart, for some unknown reason, 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.
What if? 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..." Busen''s tone is still as steady as a stone.
?Taksa waved his arms, "If I can defeat a Han general, I can defeat the second one!" 』
?Bu Sen 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…Pfft! "Taksa was about to roar, but he spat 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 a panic, but unexpectedly, several more people 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..."
?Soon, 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." 』
ifier）Taxa couldn''t help but used up her last strength to shout hoarsely, ""Why...why..."
??Bu Sen took out the knife from the monk''s waist, looked at the edge of the knife, and sighed slightly, "I poisoned both you and the Han general... It''s just that you were poisoned, but the Han general was not..."
『Why are you…oh, by the way…heh, cough…” Taksa was stunned at first, and then seemed to think of something, and suddenly said, “It turns out…you have been using me all this time…”
?Bu Sen did not answer, but just slashed down the knife in his hand.
?Blood spattered 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 hadn''t been given to the Han people... This skull is really round, and it can be made into a ...Forget it, just pretend. By the way, I took out the skin from his back and the leg bones. It was somewhat useful..."
??The monk on one side did not hesitate at all, or had any strange emotions, and 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 **** 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 all over his body, "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, the Kushan property will be divided. Then you will go back quickly and be prepared to disperse and avoid the Han people...I will take it with me." The head of this **** is to be found by the Han general..."
Master! Tong Geluojia was shocked, "The Han people will kill you!" 』
Bu Sen 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? ” Tong Geluojia asked.
Busen pointed at Taksa''s headless corpse, "Killing me means that the Han general has no other better way... Just like him, if the poisoning of the Han general can succeed, will he need to be killed?" ? 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 curled up.
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, among the debris and bones, only Busen and the monks were left.
??There are 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-headed eagle is coming...be careful of hurting the eagle. 』
Behind Busen, someone blew an eagle whistle, and the 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 followed Bu Sen, carrying boxes and carrying burdens, as if they were heading to Xihai City, not to the guillotine. But it''s like Wangxiangtai.
??The rest of the monks started chanting sutras in unison, and the bursts of Sanskrit sounds were accompanied by the excited chirps and howls of predators not far away, forming the most wonderful and weird music in this desert...
