Chapter 2856: one thing

Chapter 2856 One thing

Gao Shun's complexion was very bad.

He hasn't rested for a long time.

After Gao Shun defeated Wusun and Che Shihou, there was no reason to move forward.

Gao Shun asked the surrendered Wusun Xiaowang to come forward to gather those broken Wusun troops, and then incorporated them into the same broken vassal army, and then returned to the West Sea.

Because of the existence of Wusun Xiaowang, those Wusun people who came after him hesitated, and they didn't know whether to chase or stay, and Gao Shun deliberately retreated in an orderly manner, which also made those Wusun people suspicious. He didn't dare to get too close, and after those Wusun people reoccupied his tunnel, he refused to move forward.

After coming down from his tunnel, Gao Shun's altitude sickness was slightly relieved, but the exhaustion of his body did not completely recover from it. When his vanguard arrived around Xihai City, he learned about Zhang Liao's arrival, and he also knew about the great changes taking place in Xihai City.

Many officials were killed, and their heads were hung on the city wall.

Originally, those officials thought that without them there would be chaos, but it did not happen, or it was not as serious as they imagined. Because of the continuous operation of a few officials such as Zhang An, Xihai City survived the most chaotic situation at the beginning. a period of time.

Later, Han Guo came from Longyou with some civil officials and soldiers. He and Meng Hua built the civil and military core of Xihai City, which gradually turned the chaotic situation into order.

order.

This is the most fundamental foundation of human society.

All laws, all morality, all hierarchies are based on order.

The establishment of a new order in Xihai City, of course, means the exit of the old order.

Gao Shun was happy, but also worried.

He was worried about Lu Bu.

Gao Shun is not good at expressing. He is more used to using actions to explain some problems, just like he is training soldiers, he can do it first, and then ask the soldiers to follow him to do it. But people who are not good at expressing are very disadvantaged.

Because people need to communicate. Although they are both human beings and belong to the same subjects, because of the inconsistency between the conscious body and the physical body, human beings must communicate if they want to maintain order, establish cooperation, and so on. The more effective the communication, the more it can reduce the loss in the collaboration process.

It is a pity that Gao Shun wanted to communicate, but he didn't know what to say, and he didn't know where to start. Meng Hua and Han Guo's suspicions.

Gao Shun is a good man, a pure soldier, and a straight person who doesn't know how to express himself. After that impression was drawn by the horse monkey, most people would appreciate him, but the problem is that to Meng Hua and Han Guo, Gao Shun was similar to a stranger, and he was also a stranger who was loyal to Lu Bu, so Meng Hua Hua and Han Guo's attitude towards Gao Shun was guarded, speculative, and skeptical.

Even Meng Hua had worked with Gao Shun for a short time before, but it doesn’t mean that Meng Hua can have much friendship with Gao Shun, can exchange ideas smoothly or something else...

The barracks outside the city of Xihai City was originally suppressed by Zhang Liao, so naturally he listened to Zhang Liao, and later Zhang Liao handed it over to Menghua, and later Han came over, forming a situation where Han Guo dominated the city and Mongolian Hua dominated outside the city. Civil and military core, now that Gao Shun is back, it is inappropriate for Gao Shun to stay in the city, and it is even more inappropriate to stay outside the city.

So Gao Shun simply brought some people to find Lu Bu to return. He didn't want to have any conflict with Menghua or Han Guo, and he also felt that he shouldn't hinder Menghua and Han Guo.

After all, Gao Shun knew that Xihai City should have been rectified long ago.

This kind of rectification will inevitably be dissatisfied by Lu Bu...

Gao Shun was very worried.

Lu Bu’s character is like a wolf, but the wolf also has some characteristics of a dog, such as territory. Gao Shun knew that the renovation of Xihai City was a good thing for Xihai, and even for the Western Regions, but for Lv Bu, Lv Bu might have felt that his territory had been violated more, so Gao Shun was going to return to his life, and at the same time Try to persuade Lu Bu as much as possible.

But when Gao Shun led his troops into the vicinity of Yanqi, he discovered something was wrong.

Before, the area around Yanqi was biased towards the big Han.

Now it's different.

This feeling is very strange, as if officials in Shandong have stopped collecting money.

After entering the land of Yanqi, the surrounding Hu people will cast some meaningful glances. And this situation became more and more serious after leaving Yanqi and entering the border of Kucha. The Kucha people regard the Han people as their enemies, harassing and assassinating them frantically and at all costs, no matter day or night.

Although it is said that Gao Shun had already experienced this kind of treatment when he entered Che Shi Hou Country, the warmness of this "welcome" in Kucha Kingdom still shocked Gao Shun.

Gao Shun sent scattered vanguard scouts. After entering the Kucha Kingdom, they suffered more than ten attacks, sneak attacks, traps, and deceptions in less than two days. The scale of the attack ranged from a few people to a dozen people, and at most hundreds of people. They were all similar to suicide attacks, howling in incomprehensible words, regardless of life and death.

Besides, the Kucha people are more familiar with their own land than the Han people, so the Kucha people know where to camp, where there is drinking water, or where to set traps.

The forward scouts dispatched by Gao Shun have more than once fished out corrupted cattle and sheep in water sources, buried animal traps in sheltered places, and wooden thorns covered in feces in traps...

Gao Shun’s vanguard counterattacked angrily, and followed the trail to find the tribe of the Kucha people. But when Gao Shun arrived, he found that the tribe of Kucha was mostly old, young, women and children, and there were no young men.

Where did these strong young men from the Kucha tribe go? The answer is obvious.

Only then did Gao Shun understand that the problems in the Western Regions were not as simple as he had imagined before, nor did it mean that reading a few words in books and knowing some scriptures would lead to some brilliant strategies for governing the country.

Hussar's words are correct...

Killing people doesn't solve the problem, but makes it worse. Only a stupid guy thinks that killing people is the best way, just like thinking that a person with a big fist can travel all over the world.

Gao Shun couldn't help thinking, what is the reason that made Yanqi, who was originally friendly with the big Han, start to hate the Han people, and made these tribesmen in Qiuci fight against the Han people with their last breath?

What did the Kucha people do wrong?

Similarly, where did the Han people go wrong?

Gao Shun vaguely had some ideas, but he quickly controlled these divergent thoughts. He believes that as a soldier, one should not think too much about these political issues. This is not the duty of a soldier, and if a soldier is too involved in politics, he is often not so pure a soldier.

Gao Shun knew that this was because Lu Bu slaughtered a large number of Kucha people in Kucha, as well as killing monks and destroying Buddhas. It was placed on Lu Bu, and then extended from Lu Bu to the Han people.

What one person does, must be undertaken by all.

It's not fair, but it's also fair.

Conversely, it is the same.

What a group of people do, there is often one person who resists everything in the end.

In the face of new changes, Gao Shun made military adjustments. Based on his previous experience in Cheshi Houguo, he sped up his speed, and no longer sent out small troops of scouts alone, but gathered as many troops as possible in Act together and avoid being slowed down by these intrusions along the way.

Sure enough, when seeing the large army marching, although the eyes of these Qiucha people still projected hatred, but seeing that there were more people on Gaoshun's side, they dispelled the idea of intrusion, and it was relatively safer.

But in this way, Gao Shun had no way to send scouts out.

Of course, this is not a big problem.

After all, there is Lu Bu blocking the front, so the road as a whole is relatively safe.

Gao Shun walked in a hurry.

Because Gao Shun was worried about irreconcilable disputes between Zhang Liao and Lu Bu.

Zhang Liao's actions in Xihai City can be said to have slapped Lu Bu in the face, but according to Lu Bu's own arrogant temperament, how could he hold back? Gao Shun actually understood Lu Bu's thoughts, because he felt that Lu Bu was similar to him to some extent, and was not good at politics.

But the problem is that Gao Shun can put aside politics and concentrate on being a soldier, but Lu Bu cannot. Lu Bu is like a child who knows he has to study hard, but holds a toy in his hand, and is in great pain.

Gao Shun felt that this time might be an opportunity to let Lu Bu put down some things in his hands and relax a bit.

Of course, the premise is that Lu Bu and Zhang Liao must not fight...

Gao Shun rushed to the vicinity of Qiuci, originally thinking that he would go to Qiuci after dawn the next day, but after nightfall, a fire suddenly ignited in the direction of Qiuci City!

The blazing fire shines on the four fields!

Gao Shun was taken aback, he subconsciously thought that what he was worried about had exploded!

He felt that there must be a fight between Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, otherwise, how could there be a fire in the well-behaved city of Qiuci?

The thick and mellow night in the sky covered everything.

In the wilderness, the torches flickered, flickering, as if stars had fallen to the ground, and the sky and the earth were turned upside down.

The ground retreated rapidly under the horseshoes.

Looking at the scene of raging flames in the distance, Gao Shun's chest seemed to be burning too, anxious and hot.

Once Lu Bu and Zhang Liao start fighting, let alone who wins and who loses, it will only cause subsequent shocks in the Western Regions, plus the attitude of these barbarians from the Western Regions towards the Han people who came along the way has changed...

Gao Shun stared at Qiu Cicheng in the distance, and seemed to see countless people fighting endlessly under the raging fire, with blood dripping.

"Boost! Go directly to Qiuci City! 』

Gao Shun gave orders loudly, and then drove his horse forward. Seeing that they were about to reach Qiuci City, suddenly there was a roar of killing from the side, a group of people rushed out from the wilderness, and swarmed aggressively to intercept them. If he continued to go towards the city of Qiuci, he would definitely be attacked by this group of troops, so Gao Shun could only lead the troops to turn and meet in the direction where the troops were attacking in the wilderness.

Suddenly, Gao Shun's eardrums were filled with rumbling noises. The sound of horseshoes on both sides made the ground tremble, and the cavalry array on the opposite side showed a sharp arrow formation, leaped out of the night, and rushed straight!

Gao Shun is at the forefront, and the top, bottom, left, and right sides of his field of vision are all occupied by enemy cavalry.

Gao Shun shouted loudly, and ordered his subordinates to form a charging formation accordingly, leaving all distracting thoughts behind, and charging forward wholeheartedly.

In the distance, Qiuci City was in flames, as if all the light had been sucked there.

Light and shadow flickering, chaotic.

The torches that fell on the surrounding ground flickered and howled and wailed under the hoofs of the horses.

Under the criss-crossing of swords and guns, the most forward soldiers of the two armies fell down with blood splashing, and the ownerless horses screamed and fled in all directions.

Gao Shun suddenly felt that something was wrong...

Before Gao Shun figured out what was going on, following a sharp sound of breaking wind, a man and a horse rushed out from the darkness directly in front, and the weapons in their hands rushed towards him like a giant python!

The sharp cold light flickered and hit Gao Shun's chest!

The aroused wind pressure was like a boulder rolled up in the air, and it hit Gao Shun directly, making Gao Shun's breathing feel a little constricted!

Gao Shun held his breath, shot upward with a backhand shot, and leaned slightly to the left, trying to defuse the opponent's blow, but he didn't expect that such a slam would fail!

Gao Shun quickly changed his body shape again, changed his center of gravity, and at the same time changed his long spear to unloading, in order to push away the oncoming pressure.

In the blink of an eye, Gao Shun saw the man's weapon clearly...

Fang Tian painted a halberd!

『The Great Protector! ” Gao Shun subconsciously shouted, “Lu Fengxian! 』

Gao Shun's first call was Lu Bu's official position...

Lu Bu didn't recognize Gao Shun at the first time, even when Gao Shun yelled out for the first time. Because on the one hand, it was in the dark night, with lights and shadows flickering, and on the other hand, Gao Shun's appearance had changed due to illness, which was completely different from Lu Bu's previous impression...

It wasn't until the second sound of "Lu Fengxian" came to his ears that Lu Bu regained his senses from the rage and recognized Gao Shun, but it was such a moment of slowness that made it impossible for Lu Bu to take back the already hacked Fang Tian painted the halberd, just turned the direction of Fang Tian's painted halberd as much as possible, turning chopping into shooting.

According to common sense, or according to Lu Bu's impression, this kind of strength and smoothness should be able to block it...

should…

After all, when Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others were free, they often practiced martial arts together. Even Gao Shun blocked moves that were sharper and more ferocious than this.

Back then...

But now is neither should nor was it then.

Gao Shun was originally injured, coupled with the altitude sickness in Che Shi Houguo, although it is not fatal, it cannot be said that he will recover in a short time. In addition, he did not stay in Xihai City to recuperate, but he was in a hurry. I rushed to Qiuci, so whether it is energy, concentration, or physical strength, they have actually dropped a lot.

Although Gao Shun tried his best to block it, he didn't.

The spear flew out of his hand.

Although Lu Bu realized something was wrong at the last moment, he tried to pull back, but it was too late.

Fang Tian's painted halberd continued to castrate, and it slapped Gao Shun's body.

The armor on Gao Shun's body flew out, his body bent sideways, and then fell off the horse's back.

Gao Shun spat out a mouthful of blood.

『Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...'' Lu Bu yelled, and then he pulled the reins vigorously, trying to slow down the horse. But he had already missed Gao Shun, and ran forward according to his inertia.

The guards behind Lu Bu didn't have time to react. They followed Lu Bu according to their original habits, original tactics, and primitive instincts. Then, the horse ran into Gao Shun...

Gao Shun spat out a second mouthful of blood.

Lu Bu howled like crazy, "Stop! Stop it all! 』

He waved the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, smashing all the surrounding knives and guns.

Fang Tian's painted halberd made a shrill whistling sound, like a trapped animal howling.

"stop it! Lu Bu roared, roaring, not knowing why he was angry, or just angry because of anger, "Stop it all! stop! 』

The brief fighting stopped, but the casualties caused by it were impossible to recover.

Lu Bu returned to the horse, and then ran to Gao Shun, and even staggered a little when he jumped off the horse.

『Boping! Bopin! ”Lu Bu rushed forward and hugged Gao Shun in his arms, “You...why are you? ! how…"

Lu Bu had too many questions, but at the moment Lu Bu didn't know what to ask. He reached out to wipe away the blood Gao Shun spit out, and howled, "Doctor, where is the doctor?" ! Physician! 』

The army doctor at the back of the queue rushed to the front and shouted: "Fire! Help me light the fire! I need to see clearly! 』

Someone hurriedly picked up the torch that had fallen on the ground, and moved closer.

Under the light of the fire, Gao Shun's face was as pale as snow.

The doctor eagerly examined Gao Shun's injury, and every time he looked at it, the doctor's forehead became more sweaty, and the blood on his face turned paler.

『Pfft…』

Gao Shun spit out the third mouthful of blood.

Gao Shun's blood splashed on Lu Bu's face, and his body was like hot oil falling down, making Lu Bu tremble uncontrollably, "Boping, Boping...doctor! You save him quickly! save him! 』

The doctor swayed under Lu Bu's pull, but remained silent, his face was pale, and he bowed his head in silence.

『This...don’t blame him...』Gao Shun seemed to grin his mouth, he didn’t know if he was laughing or because of the pain, "Da Du Hu, I didn’t... didn’t betray you..."

Lu Bu nodded, "I know! I know! 』

Yes, Lu Bu knows now.

『Da Du Hu...I have never...never begged anyone...now I beg you...please one thing...』

『Say it, say it! 』Lu Bu protects Gao Shun, just like protecting a piece of fragile ceramics.

"Go...go home..." Gao Shun said softly, even at this moment, home, this magical word, still can make his eyes show some kind of look, "go home... I, I can’t go back, you, you can still...go home...』

『Go home...』 Lu Bu was stunned, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

He did not expect Gao Shun's request to be this.

go home?

Gao Shun's gaze gradually moved from Lu Bu to the sky.

The galaxy hangs upside down.

Pure starlight.

Gao Shun stretched out a hand towards Xinghe.

Hands stained with blood and mud, but longing for the purest starlight.

But after all, it failed to touch...

It's like the hometown that he can never go back to.

The house that appeared several times in his dreams is now a hazy home.

Residual tiles.
