Chapter 2981: Peace is difficult


    In Sichuan and Shu, the chaos in Bashan has spread.


    ?This kind of confusion is inevitable, just like some people are relatively clear-minded and can explain things clearly and make sense, while other people have no sense in their lives. In other words, the truth that they recognize is the truth, and the truth that they think they don’t recognize is not the truth at all.


    Are the Ba people reasonable?


    Sometimes I say it, but sometimes I don’t.


    As for this "time", it is very subtle.


    ?In Sichuan and Shu, Xu Shu’s strategy was still relatively tolerant and gentle.


    On the one hand, Xu Shu himself comes from a poor family and has some understanding of the people at the bottom and the bad nature of government officials, so he adopts simple strategies as much as possible. On the other hand, there are too many tribes in Sichuan and Shu. , is so complicated that in many cases the slightest move can easily lead to spreading rumors. No one knows what the final spread will be, and it is completely uncontrollable.


    ?However, although a tolerant policy will allow kind people to gain more benefits, they will also be deceived by cunning people, and then they feel that good people should be pointed at gunpoint.


    When the cost of deception is so low that there is no need to pay anything, choosing to lie to obtain short-term benefits seems to be the choice of most people.


    Hence, this is a difficult question.


    Should all those who tell lies and take advantage of petty gains be arrested and beheaded, or should they be arrested and made to work? Or a few gentle scoldings and a warning to end the problem?


    How to do it specifically to achieve an appropriate scale?


    ?This is not only a subject for Xu Shu, but also a strategy that Zhuge Liang must measure with the ruler in his hand.


    ?Now this problem is unfolding before Meng Huo''s eyes, but he hasn''t realized it yet...


    ??It is difficult to verify when these scattered tribes in Sichuan and Sichuan started to engage in copycat barbarism, and they subconsciously chose to lie to the ruling officials of China. Perhaps at the beginning, the ruling officials of China lied, and then these tribes became more and more imitated. Perhaps these tribes found that in the process of contact with Chinese officials, they could gain some benefits by lying.


    As a result, lies have become the biggest obstacle that prevents both parties from trusting each other and establishing effective information exchange channels.


    ?The tribal barbarians do not trust the Han people, and the Han people do not trust the people of these tribes.


    ?This kind of problem did not arise after Xu Shu came, but has been going on for hundreds of years in Sichuan and Shu.


    The social psychological mentality in the entire Sichuan and Sichuan cannot be quickly changed by Xu Shu alone, or by a few people such as Zhuge Liang, because this social mentality is based on the intersection, integration, mutual influence and cross-infection of different personal psychology. It is formed on the basis of individual psychology, but it is essentially different from individual psychology.


    An individual person may believe or not believe something, but once he is in a group, his personal opinion is no longer important, but the group of people choose to believe or not believe it, and the result is, It may be completely inconsistent with an individual''s ideas.


    This issue, like an invisible energy field, affects the psychology and behavior of individuals and society as a whole.


    When Ba Fu and the "White Tiger Guards" began to seduce, defeat, and erode Bashan Bas snake, under such circumstances, the people of Bashan Bas snake were certainly in a state of stress and fear. At the same time, the mentality of these Ba Snake people is also constantly changing.


    At the beginning, I naturally felt that it didn’t matter, and I even felt a little gloating about it.


    Because no matter who it is, seeing those well-dressed guys stepping on a banana peel and smashing their butts will always make people smile, especially when they see those who claim to be descendants of Ba Snakes and have pure blood, shouting and drinking every day. When these guys start to panic, it is inevitable that they will have a mentality similar to that of these snake cubs today.


    However, as the war spread and the situation developed, the overall mentality of the Ba people also changed.


    It''s very simple. Although people like to obtain short-term happiness, they are also more susceptible to the influence and interference of negative emotions such as worry and fear, which leads to cognitive deviations and behavioral abnormalities.


    As the war changed, the mentality of the Ba people also changed. Meng Huo, who was responsible for communicating with the Ba people and the Ba snakes, was ruined by the changes in the mentality of the Ba people and the Ba snakes. mentality…


    ?Meng Huo was extremely depressed.


    Fan Zao, the king of Ba people, laughed with him.


    ?Meng Huo looked ugly.


    Fan Zao now feels that he wants to remove the word "王" from his family...


    It’s a pity and I can’t bear to leave.


    After all, it was hard to get it.


    ?It is not easy for any "king" to ascend to the throne. Even if he is a child king, he still wants to be king without a nosebleed or two?


    Force is the basis for ensuring that one''s position is not coveted, but if one wants to maintain rule for a long time, one must not only use force, but also need to be gentle in the distribution of benefits.


    Now, it is obvious that there are different ideas on the distribution of benefits.


    『What do you think this snake is? What kind of snake has this magical power? ” Meng Huo’s eyes widened, he patted the table and shouted, “If you really think that the God of Ba Snake is so powerful, go find it. Why are you looking for us?” You came to us and you still need us to wait on you to satisfy you? What are you doing? ! 』


    The Ba people, Baihu Bafu, led the Jiangdong people to cause trouble in Bashan, challenging the Bashan Bashe people who drove the Baihu Ba people out. With the support of the Jiangdong Army, the Baihuba people have obviously improved their combat effectiveness to a higher level. With armor protection, casualties have naturally been reduced a lot. This is a problem for the Bashanba snakes who have not often worn armor or even clothes for a long time. People are obviously an overwhelming advantage.


    what to do?


    If you suffer a loss, of course you want to make up for it and make up for it.


    There is no problem with this.


    To repair the problem, you need boards, nails and hammers.


    There is no problem with this either…


    The question is, if a sheep is lost, should we say something?


    When he discovered Ba Fu, Ba She had no idea of ??looking for Han people, or even contacting other Ba people kings. He just went to Ba Fu privately to settle accounts, and was beaten. Not only was his nose and face swollen, but he was also humiliated. You bought a sheep, and then you thought you had to borrow boards, nails, and hammers?


    Of course Fan Zao didn''t have so much equipment to borrow, so he found Meng Huo.


    There is no problem in finding Fan Zao, because Fan Zao is indeed relatively close to the Han people and is willing to accept some of the Han people''s ideas. He is basically the same as Meng Huo and is willing to serve as a bridge to strengthen communication between Han and Hu. I also got some bridge tolls and so on...


    Fan Zao also had a wry smile on his face. He didn''t get the bridge toll, but his hands were stained by the smell.


    First, the Ba Snake side only sent the person named Ji to contact Fan Zao Menghuo. The Ba Snake leader did not come forward. The reason was probably that the Ba Snake spirit wanted to remain "pure", so the Ba Snake leader naturally Can''t see outsiders...


    ?God says this, is there any problem?


    ?Meng Huo just wanted to shout, no problem! So why don’t you ask God yourself about the trouble White Tiger has now? !


    Fan Zao knew the actual reason, but he couldn''t say it. After all, he himself was from Ba.


    Meng Huo was furious at first, and then ordered to see the Ba man who was a snake. However, before the messenger could go out, he was stopped by Meng Huo. After pondering for a moment, Meng Huo waved the messenger to temporarily retreat. He went to call the Ba man, but turned to Fan Zao and sneered.


    Fan Zao had some sweat on his forehead and said with a dry smile: "This... Colonel, what are you..."


    『Don’t call me a captain, I am a captain! Meng Huo sneered, "Calling me a captain will not bring you any benefit, and calling me a captain will not cause you any trouble!" I won''t cause trouble for me just because you called me captain a few times, just because I forgot about you! 』


    How could it be? Hehe...no! Really not! impossible! Fan Zao waved his hands repeatedly, "Xiao Meng and I...well, how could the relationship between captains cause any trouble?" 』


    ?Meng Huo looked at Fan Zao sideways and said, "I am not from Ba." 』


    Fan Zao’s eyes moved, "Uh, yes, but..."


    ?Meng Huo is a native of Nanzhong. Even if he is considered a barbarian, he can only be regarded as a Nanbarbarian and Cuan people. At most, he will be classified as a Yi nationality in later generations, and he really has little to do with the Ba people.


    Fan Zao was the king of the Ba people.


    “There’s nothing to worry about...” Meng Huo pointed to himself, “I’m from Nanzhong. When I get here, do you think I’m full and have nothing to do? 』


    Fan Zao hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over, and said that Ba Snake was like this before, otherwise he wouldn''t have driven the White Tiger out of Bashan. Now it''s just that he is stubborn and hasn''t turned around yet. Fan Zao will finally be here. After smoothing things over and bringing things back to normal, new problems arose... The leader of the Ba Snake was unwilling to accept the jurisdiction of the Han people, nor was he willing to pay or use materials in exchange for the support of the Han people.


    Simply put, I want to have **** for free.


    "ah? Haha, haha..." Meng Huo was so angry that he was speechless with a smile.


    ?This is not only a refusal to accept, but also a refusal, irresponsibility, and failure to acknowledge!


    Do you also think this is the right thing to do? Meng Huo stared at Fan Zao, "Or are you, the King of Ba Ren, just here to watch the joke?" 』


    Fan Zao waved his hands repeatedly, "No, how could it be possible? It''s impossible!" 』


    Do you know how to say such a thing? Meng Huo said, "I say, Ba Snake must have a begging attitude when asking for help. If not, let Ba Snake play by himself!" You are the King of Ba Ren, and you are not in a hurry, so why should I be in a hurry? Okay, that’s it for today. I’m not in a good mood, so I won’t leave you to eat! You can do it yourself, I won’t give it away! 』


    After saying this, Meng Huo threw away Fan Zao and left Fan Zao in the hall rather rudely.


    ??Fan Zao huffed a few times, as if he wanted to persuade Meng Huo to stay, but he couldn''t say anything.


    That''s right, in fact he came to find Meng Huo to dig a hole for Meng Huo. After all, Meng Huo has a bad temper, is irritable, and is easily angered. These are all well-known things, but he didn''t expect that he failed to succeed this time? Don''t you mean irritable? Or is it that the medicine he just administered was too light and did not achieve the desired effect?


    Fan Zao himself felt that Ba She’s attitude was inappropriate. Since something is wrong, it should be solved instead of being thrown in front of Meng Huo. Fan Zao dared to throw it in front of Meng Huo. On the one hand, he was bullying Meng Huo because of his small brain capacity. On the other hand, he also wanted to test Meng Huo''s attitude. , or the attitude of the Han people standing behind Meng Huo.


    In fact, they are like those people in later generations who harmed others and pretended to be pitiful.


    ?The leader of the Ba Snake is not clear about the consequences of his actions?


    Actually, I know that too.


    But I feel that I can still bear it, or I feel that the consequences are not that serious...


    ??After all, as long as we blindfold our eyes, plug our ears, and create a painless and non-itchy double-dip or something, everyone will still be good friends.


    Obviously, the leader of the Ba Snake does not want to win twice. If he wants a win-win situation, he must win twice.


    As long as the leader of the Ba Snake is not in direct contact with Meng Huo, then even with the help of the power of the Han people represented by Meng Huo, he can pretend that this is not the case. He is just praying to the "God of the Ba Snake", and then the God of the Ba Snake will He happened to use his divine power to "send" some people and defeated White Tiger Buff...


    Is everything wonderful?


    At least in the imagination of the leader of Ba Snake, it is very beautiful.


    Being blasted out by Meng Huo, Fan Zao felt somewhat hot even though his skin color was originally dark.


    Fan Zao returned to his residence, and when he saw the Ba Sheji who was somewhat related to him waiting eagerly on the side, he became so angry that he snorted and sat down on his own.


    The Ba Sheji family came up to each other and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty... this, that..."


    What this and that? Fan Zao slapped the table, "What''s going on with you?" ! What does your leader think? ! ah? ! When the Han people come here, don’t they need to pay for food? Even if your own village wants to mobilize people from other villages to help fight, you still need to prepare food and supplies. How can you have nothing? 』


    Ba Shejishi was stunned. When you went to find Meng Huo before, you didn''t seem to have said that...


    Jishi Bashe said honestly: "We have already paid tribute three times, so now we have nothing to pay tribute to." 』


    Fan Zao glanced at Ba Sheji and said, "Three times?" Who do you pay tribute to? 』


    Although Fan Zao may not understand the rules of Han war, the so-called "people are not in harmony with each other", but paying tribute three times should be the limit for these Ba She people. After all, these Ba She people are not very rich in Bashan. The output and daily accumulation of materials cannot be very large.


    The people of Ba She Ji''s family responded naturally, saying that they all paid tribute to Ba She because Ba She could protect them, so they naturally wanted to pay tribute to Ba She.


    Fan Zao was angry and slapped the table, "How can I give it to Ba Snake?" 』


    "Ba She is our god..." The people of Ba Sheji were very confused and aggrieved, "If you don''t pay tribute to God... then who should it be paid to?" 』


    Fan Zao wanted to point to himself, but he still pointed in the direction of Chengdu, "Whoever fights for you, I will give it to!" 』


    Isn’t this a very simple truth?


    Ba Shejishi was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn''t say anything.


    This question is actually very simple, but the difficulty lies in the fact that the Ba snake leader doesn’t think so.


    Ba Sheji looked at Fan Zao pitifully, "Uncle..."


    Fan Zao rolled his eyes, "I thought you were somewhat sensible before, but why are you like this now?" 』


    ?Naba Sheji said: "It''s not that I don''t understand!" What can I do? I can’t provide the things by myself! If I agree here, and the leader turns against me when I go back, says it was my idea, and then kills me, what will he say then? 』


    What did your leader say? ” Fan Zao asked.


    The people of the Ba Sheji clan were silent for a moment, and then said intermittently, "The leader said that since the Han people are allowed to take action, it is not just the Ba people''s business... The Han people like to show that they are strong, so as long as the Han people are given a chance to show off, That''s good... And the Han people like some false reputations, so when the time comes, give them two pieces of leather, two sticks of thatch, etc., and you can get rid of it..."


    The leader of Ba Snake felt that Ba Snake had already suffered so much damage and many people had died. How could he ask the Ba Snake people to come up with any supplies?


    Fan Zao’s eyes widened, “Aren’t your leaders worried that the Han people won’t help? 』


    Jishi Bashe replied: "The leader said it was impossible." The Han people will definitely help... The leader said that he suspected that these Baihu Ba people came not for the Ba Snakes, but for the Han people, so the Ba Snakes should actually have blocked the disaster for the Han people, and it was the Han people who attracted these people... So the Han people must take action..."


    Eh? !


    this…


    ?It seems that there is some truth in saying this!


    ?However, Fan Zao frowned and thought for a while, feeling that something was wrong, but couldn''t tell what was wrong.


    “…” After Fan Zao was silent for a moment, he really didn’t know what to say, “Your leader, don’t worry about what happens…then…”


    ??Ba Sheji smiled bitterly, "The leader said, if you can''t do it, just run away to the mountains..."


    Bashan is very big.


    At least for these Ba people, Daba Mountain is big enough.


    And for these Ba people who are accustomed to living in the mountains and forests, they actually do not need too many living supplies. In the relatively warm environment of Sichuan and Sichuan, there are many things to eat in the mountains and forests, and of course there are Many unknown dangers. So for most Ba people, it is of course better to be in a familiar place, but if you really want to escape to the mountains, that doesn''t mean you can''t do it at all.


    ?Fan Zao sighed, "I think it''s better to let Bafu kill your leader." 』


    "The leader has said that he can die, but the glory and purity of the Ba Snake God cannot be tarnished..." Ba Sheji said, "The leader is ready. If it doesn''t work, he will send people out and spread the word. If the Han people refuse to save themselves from death, no one needs to listen to the Han people in the future..."


    Fan Zao trembled and said, "I suddenly regret taking care of you in this matter... You are not my relative, you are a ghost that urges me to die!" Do you want to make my whole family mourn? 』


    Ba Sheji waved her hands repeatedly, "Uncle, how is this possible?" 』


    But now you have dragged me into the water! ” Fan Zao shouted. He regretted a little. If he hadn''t been greedy for such a small amount of "bridge tolls", he wouldn''t have come to be this bridge. Now...


    The bridge is collapsing!


    Orange sesame wheat peel…


    Uncle…what should…now…? ” Ba Sheji asked cautiously.


    Fan Zao raised his head and resisted the desire to kill this **** guy with a knife, "What else can we do?" ! Go and beg again! It’s useless to ask God, so you can only ask people! 』
