Moreover, this information was not conveyed by people from the Western Regions, but was sent by Menghua, who temporarily held a guard post at Yumen Pass.
"Are the horse thieves in the Western Regions so powerful?"
Fei Qian stood next to the sand table in the wing room, watching the military layout of the Western Regions.
The Western Regions as a whole is centered on Xihai City and backed by Yumen Pass. There is Tianshan Mountain as a barrier above and the Pamir Mountains as the bottom. A hand extends westward to the adjacent Shule area. Shule goes further west, which is the Great Yuezhi, Rest in An, and then Kushan.
Xihai City is not far from Luntai City, the old Western Region Protectorate of the Great Han Dynasty. In order to obtain convenience for drinking water, between Xihai City and Yumen Pass, there are many countries that are more biased towards the Great Han, or relatively weak countries, cities, such as Cheshiqian Kingdom, Loulan, etc.
Overall, the main control area of the Western Regions Protectorate is in the northern Western Regions, while the southern Regions is a relatively unmanned area with a large distance, and on the other hand, it is relatively deviating from the center of gravity of the Western Regions.
After all, the Western Regions are very large and the number of Han soldiers is limited, so it is impossible to achieve even distribution of all regions.
To stabilize Xihai City is equivalent to controlling three directions. To the north, you can cross the Tianshan Mountains and enter the old Huns area, to the west, facing the Kushan Kushan, to the south, to the south, and to the snowy area in the south. Of course, this can only be said to be "control", but not "occupation".
It is basically the land of the Han Dynasty to the east of Yumen Pass.
Now it is not the Western Regions to report, but the Menghua report at Yumen Pass, which makes Fei Qian feel something is wrong.
Menghua reported that it was said that a large number of horse thieves appeared near Shule, and the Han army's vanguard camp was captured. Therefore, Lu Bu dropped Gao Shun and went to wipe out the horse thieves...
This news made Fei feel a little surprised and also made him feel a little more worried.
Fei Qian didn't mean that there were no horse thieves in the Western Regions, but Gao Shun, who needed to be transferred to Yumen Pass, might have already left the category of ordinary horse thieves.
At the same time, Fei Qian also suspected that there might be other things...
For most of the time, horse thieves and other thieves, car bandits and road tyrants, etc., are like clowns in front of regular troops. But the same goes for the same. If the regular army cannot even solve the problem of horse thieves, then the clown is the army.
So, who is the clown here?
Fei Qian pinched his beard and stood in front of the sand table, silent for a long time.
What does this mean?
Fei Qian actually didn't believe that the Han army in the Western Regions could not even defeat the horse thieves, and even lost the vanguard camp.
Fei Qian stared at the sand table, and two thoughts were circling in his mind. One was to be in Anxue west of Shule or Kushan, who might conduct early temptations under the name of a horse thief, such as mercenaries from later generations, and under the banner of aiding a small country, he participated in and sent troops to fight.
Another idea is more dangerous...
Raise the enemy and respect yourself.
In order to find out the truth of the matter, Fei Qian sent people to Youwenshi to urge Kan Ze to strengthen his investigation of the Western Regions, and on the other hand, he sent people to Longxi to chant Jia Xu to report. Fei Qian needed a counselor who knew better about the Western Regions to provide him with corresponding strategic analysis and support. Although Xun You and others were not bad at wisdom, most of them were familiar with Shandong and the Central Plains, and they did not know much about Longyou and the matters west of Longyou, so they might also put forward suggestions that were not consistent with the actual situation.
Especially the relevant information about Ah Xi and Kushan, these are not something that Fei Qian can make based on his later experience...
When Fei Qian sent people to Longxi, the situation in the Western Regions further deteriorated.
Fei Qian thought there were clowns in the Western Regions, and there were indeed ones, but what Fei Qian did not expect was that clowns are the character in the circus that can best control people's hearts, master emotions, and set off the atmosphere...
The cause of the further deterioration of the Western Regions was the unhappy meeting between Gao Shun and Lu Bu.
If the generals and ministers are in conflict, there will be trouble.
Although Gao Shun may have a slight lack of strategy, he is indeed a relatively sober among the Western Regions. When Lu Bu was unwilling to listen to Gao Shun's opinions, or to put it in a relatively unpleasant "speech", he seemed to have walked into an irreversible abyss...
However, when Lu Bu and Gao Shun were in a quarrel, some people were very happy.
This is often the case in the world. Other people’s unhappiness is their own joy.
Wei Xu heard that Lu Bu and Gao Shun were having a very unhappy relationship, so he couldn't help but feel happy.
『I knew it!』 Wei Xu laughed, 『I knew it would be like this! Gao Boping, this idiot! Hahahaha!』
Wei Xu laughed loudly, tears burst out, revealing his big yellow and white teeth, and his little tongue trembled.
Although Wei Xu was laughing, he was afraid in his heart.
Because each of what Gao Shun said to Lu Bu pointed to Wei Xu. Of course, Gao Shun's original intention was not to do Wei Xu, but most of the things were done by Wei Xu, so...
This is really dangerous.
This bastard Gao Shun is so out of place!
After getting off the horse, he didn't even say hello, and then ran to complain!
Wei Xu cursed inwardly, and then couldn't help but breathe, ha, now it's time!
No, this is not good...
After all, Lu Bu said he wanted to "wait until he comes back"?
return?
Let’s talk about it?
Wei Xu suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
He covered the sky with one hand in Xihai City, but outside Xihai City, at least at Yumen Pass, he had already left Wei Xu's control. Gao Shun's arrival and his unceasing "complaints" made Wei Xu suddenly realize this problem. He was not absolutely safe.
Cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents. What's more, Wei Xu thinks that Gao Shun not only wants to cut off his wealth, but also seems to be trying to kill him?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! How can this be done?
Thinking of this, Wei Xu was so angry that he felt itchy.
After all, it’s a fight between colleagues, is it necessary to take such a heavy hand?
Is Gao Shun going to establish his authority with me and preparing to take over the second-in-command of the Western Regions Protectorate?
Wei Xu speculated, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the more frightened he became.
Lu Bu's attitude towards this matter is very important.
Wei Xu was already accustomed to life centered on Lu Bu and money and grain. Even if he knew that there were also cavalry outside the Western Regions and above Lu Bu, he would subconsciously ignore this issue, just as he would also ignore that there were some people in Shandong and a great Han emperor.
To some extent, humans are conservative.
Humans will prefer to stay in areas they are familiar with, so that they can have a better sense of security. Then this psychology, or this type of behavior, will become an obstacle to human development at a certain level.
Curious, conservative, contradictory mentality, and unreasonable words and deeds at the same time fill the entire human development process.
Gao Shun's official position was the Western Regions Captain. Although his name was the Captain, he was actually a general.
Although Wei Xu was named a general, he was actually not as good as Gao Shun's captain.
The Western Regions Captain is of the fourth rank and does not have permanent rank. It is slightly similar to the small dispatched troops in the Western Regions. It has a separate military command and a private quota, which is much better than Wei Xu's fifth-rank miscellaneous general.
Among the fifth-rank generals, only the generals and General Bi are permanent generals, with quotas for private soldiers, while the rest are quotas for private soldiers, with a reputation that may be very famous, such as Fubo Pinghai, etc., but there is no real power to lead troops. Even private soldiers have to be raised by themselves and have no share.
Wei Xu is a fifth-rank general, so he is not the same as Gao Shun's lieutenant. Although he claimed to be Lu Bu's partial general, he actually did not receive the official title of Fei Qian. As for the title of fifth-rank general that Lu Bu gave Wei Xu, Fei Qian didn't care. After all, the fifth-rank general is sometimes even worse than the commander of a big county.
Not only that, when he was in command of the army, Wei Xu often lived under Gao Shun. Even in the army, soldiers must have recognized Gao Shun who had a stern face all day, rather than Wei Xu who smiled every day. Only the new recruits will be confused by Wei Xu's smile. When the soldiers really go to the battlefield, they will almost immediately undergo fundamental changes, knowing that iron blood is more important than smile.
All of these made Wei Xu angry and depressed, and then accumulated in his heart, and eventually became the ink that Wei Xu vomited out.
Wei Xu was pouring wine for Lu Bu, while sneaking a glance at Lu Bu's face.
"Lord, General Gao is really dedicated to his duties..."
"I heard that General Gao is also very popular in the army. In Xihai City, many soldiers were very happy to know that he was coming to command and fight against horse thieves..."
Lu Bu's hand shook slightly, and then his eyebrows and eyes were crossed.
Wei Xu's eyebrows and his neck shrank back...
Wei Xu did not realize that his current behavior was actually just like Ergouzi serving him by his side, and even his little eyes were similar, just like how he was licked by someone, and how he would lick Lu Bu when he turned his head. It was like the transmission of energy, one level passed to another.
"What do you mean?" Lu Budun got out of the wine, and the wine swayed out and fell on the table.
"Lord!" Wei Xu hurriedly bowed, "I don't mean anything! I just said in the city..."
『Enough!』 Lu Bu frowned, 『Get out!』
Wei Xu quickly stuck out his butt and drove back.
Lu Bu sat there, frowned and pondered for a long time.
Speaking of which, what Wei Xu said is indeed the truth.
If a soldier wants to fight, will he like a brave and good general, or a general who just knows to shout for me? So the soldiers will definitely be happy to know that Gao Shun takes them to fight against the horse thieves. Could it be that he is still sad and expressing great pain?
The reason why Wei Xu could say this is because Wei Xu knew that Lu Bu still did not trust Gao Shun.
But what Wei Xu didn't know was that Lu Bu also distrusts Wei Xu, but it was because Lu Bu thought that Wei Xu's ability was too small. Lu Bu felt that he could easily deal with Wei Xu, so he was not very concerned. Of course, there was another reason because Wei Xu was good at licking, and sometimes he could lick Lu Bu very comfortably.
Who doesn't like to enjoy it?
If you don’t feel happy, you don’t want to watch it. If you don’t feel happy, you don’t want to listen. If you don’t feel happy, you don’t want to play. Most people are like this. Only a small number of people can realize the essence of this through these discomforts.
The inconsistency between Gao Shun and Lu Bu is partly because Gao Shun and Lu Bu are not "members".
Not even a "members" in a broad sense.
Just like long-distance relationships, it is generally difficult to achieve the right result. The differences in regions can also lead to problems in terms of nature. One place is so cold that it is necessary to wear a cotton jacket, while the other place is still wearing short sleeves. Will the two people have the same sense of mutual communication? This is difficult to establish.
Another part of the reason is that Gao Shun and Lu Bu are not "same kind".
Gao Shun was born in Guangling Gao family.
Lu Bu once thought that Gao Shun belonged to the Chenliu Gao family, but in fact Gao Shun was not. Although the Guangling Gao family was not as prominent as the Chenliu Gao family, it was not comparable to that of a family like Lu Bu who came from the northern region and had a little bit of Hu blood.
In the early stage, because of the differences between each other, the two people will feel that the other party has the charm they lack and will have the effect of attracting each other. However, if you wait close enough and stay long enough, you will not see the charm caused by the differences between each other, but the contradiction caused by the differences.
When external conflicts were relatively large before, two people could still stand together through thick and thin and support each other. However, after the external conflicts weakened, internal conflicts broke out. How much they endure during the storm, they would break out after getting off the boat. This is an important reason why many couples can share hardships and find it difficult to be rich.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Although Lu Bu and Gao Shun are not husband and wife, the principles are the same. The two got together because of the differences between each other in the early stage, but they did not adapt and tolerate each other because of long-term interactions, but they became more and more disliked each other.
For example, it is like Lu Bu now doubting whether Gao Shun is "there is someone outside"...
In history, Lu Bu suspected that Gao Shun and Yuan Shu had acquainted, while Lu Bu was now suspicious whether Gao Shun was flirting with Fei Qian.
Did Gao Shun get along with Yuan Shu in history?
No.
Gao Shun at most just met his fellow villagers and then reminisce about his old love, but Lu Bu was worried. It was like his own family going to find his first love to rekindle his old love. He said he was fine if he was fine?
Although Lu Bu knew that Gao Shun was upright and there should be no problems, he just couldn't help but doubt it.
It's like a suspicion of neighbors stealing an axe.
On the other hand, Wei Xu left the Great Protectorate with satisfaction.
Wei Xu knew what Lu Bu was most afraid of.
Lu Bu thought he could control Wei Xu, but in fact he was also controlled by Wei Xu.
Some people are afraid of darkness, some are afraid of space claustrophobia, some are dizzy, and some are dizzy. Everyone is afraid of different things. What Lu Bu is most afraid of is that he has no soldiers under his command. If Wei Xu is a wealthy slave in money, then Lu Bu is the "wealthy slave" of soldiers, and soldiers are the lifeblood of Lu Bu. Whoever dares to get involved will be anxious.
Although Lu Bu often says that his dream is to return to his hometown, buy a piece of land, be a rich man, raise a group of cattle and sheep to grazle, he actually can't let it go at all. Just like the boss of the company said at a conference that he was happiest when he was in the company, he was the same as when he was the company's salary of hundreds of yuan and slept on the company's floor every night. It would definitely be impossible to get Lu Bu back to get a salary of hundreds of yuan and sleep on the company's floor, and no one would want to.
Therefore, Lu Bu refused to return to Chang'an because he did not dare to return to Chang'an at all. He was afraid of Fei Qian, and he was afraid that he would be put away as soon as he returned and lose his real power. Lu Bu could tolerate Gao Shun having different opinions from him, and then he was like apart from the two places, living a life they liked, without affecting each other, and had nothing to do with each other, but Lu Bu could not tolerate Gao Shun might be flirting with other people or throwing into the arms of others.
He would not allow Gao Shun to attack his lowly soldiers, because it was like Lu Bu's forbidden body.
So Lu Bu had to try it, just like many couples in later generations suspected that there was someone outside the other party, so they had to check it, test it, and ask the other party to prove their loyalty.
Wei Xu knew this very well, so he gently stimulated Lu Bu, and Lu Bu jumped up indeed.
But after Lu Bu jumped up, Wei Xu felt it was a little difficult to deal with.
The Dharma Assembly must be held, the horse thief must be beaten, the money must be done, and in accordance with Lu Bu's requirements, we must prevent Gao Shun from stealing his family...
This is simply too difficult.
Follow Gao Shun to clear out the horse thieves?
Even if Wei Xu was killed, he would not dare to go.
It’s not that I’m afraid of horse thieves, but that I’m afraid that I’ll be killed by Gao Shun’s military method halfway through the road. Wouldn’t I even have no chance to shout for justice?
Wei Xu thought about it for a long time, and then called Ergouzi, well, now he should be called Changcheng.
"This time, you follow General Gao..." Wei Xu said meaningfully, "Go to clear out the horse thieves..."
When Chang Cheng heard this, he knelt down with a thud, "Master! What is the small one doing wrong? You said, "Master, the small one will correct it immediately! Master,... This is..."
"Stop!" Wei Xu glared, "Howl, what do you think I'm going to do?"
Chang Cheng swallowed, "Master... aren't you going to... take General Gao?"
"Ha! Do you think I want you to assassinate General Gao?" Wei Xu sneered.
Chang Cheng was stunned, "Isn't it?"
『Bad!』 Wei Xu was so angry that he jumped up and kicked Chang Cheng over, 『Assassination, kill you, no one! The man surnamed Gao is going to die, and he can't die in my hands! Where has your fucking pig's head gone?!"
"Master! I'm stupid, please give me instructions!" Chang Cheng didn't dare to hide, just lay on the ground and covered his head and let Wei Xu kick it.
"I want you to stare!" Wei Xu sat down again, "Star, do you understand? See who is getting closer to the Gao surnamed! You have to write it down and tell me! Do you know?!"
When Chang Cheng heard that he was not asking him to assassinate Gao Shun, he immediately took a breath, "Master... Is this just staring?"
Wei Xu snorted, "Of course! Or what can you do? Hum?"
Chang Cheng's mouth twitched, "Little loyal..."
"Okay, get out!" Wei Xu sneered, "Remember, don't do other things, just stare at me! If you can't even do this, don't come back!"
Although Wei Xu may not necessarily have to die Gao Shun, he felt that at least he should teach Gao Shun a lesson, otherwise he would complain again, wouldn’t it be very troublesome?
