Sometimes, it is not possible to have a leadership alone. There must be a team, not a group.
Otherwise, if you are not careful, even the capable leader will be dragged into the water by the people in the gang.
Just like Lu Bu.
Lu Bu is beyond ordinary people in martial arts, but there are gains and losses. He is even worse than ordinary people in other aspects.
He has soft ears and no opinion. His opinions often determine who is the last one to find him. This is a major flaw in his personality, and self-pride is a by-product of his bravery. Because no one can beat him on the battlefield, he thinks that being big is right.
The yellow sand rolled up and roared on the Gobi Desert, and fell quietly.
Lu Bu looked at the yellow sand as if he saw some figures on the battlefield in his memory.
Yumen Pass is like a grain of sand and gravel in the sky.
Lu Bu didn't expect that he would come here again, just as he didn't expect that Fei Qian would come to the Western Regions.
"What's that sound?" Lu Bu asked.
"I don't know... it looks like the Five Elements Thunder?" the guard replied.
"Five Elements Thunder..." Lu Bu frowned. He didn't think he looked like him, but he couldn't tell what it was like.
The dull roar of artillery fire was passed here and had dissipated a little, but it still made the surrounding war horses and people feel a little depressed, as if facing the low sound of unknown ferocious beasts in their throats. The sound was not loud and full of danger.
Lu Bu was once still living in the previous era, and he was disdainful of gunpowder.
The catapult and the crossbow were the sharpest long-range weapons he could imagine.
Perhaps adding tinea oil is everything.
He had heard of the Five Elements Thunder, which is the gunpowder grenade, and he had also seen it. However, at that time, the soldiers were equipped with the first-generation improved grenade, which enhanced the safety and could not even be considered the second generation, because it did not increase its power and had little effect on direct killing.
Lu Bu even felt that on the battlefield, grenades were not as threatening as strong crossbows, so he didn't care at all and didn't understand them anymore. Such a big one would fly away as soon as he picked them up, while strong crossbows most often needed shields to accurately block them.
He came to Yumen Pass, but he didn't expect that when he arrived, he met Fei Qian's martial arts performance.
Is this intentional or intentional?
Lu Bu's face had no expression, but most of the people behind him showed complex emotions, either at a loss, fear, sigh, or sad.
In the eighth year of Taixing, autumn.
This may be the first Western Regions Protector of the Han Dynasty, or perhaps the last Western Regions Protector of the Han Dynasty.
There are many Protectors in the Western Regions, and only one Protector in the Most Protectors.
Just like there are many generals of the Cavalry, but there is only one general of the Cavalry.
Lu Bu rode his horse and slowly moved forward.
In front of him, a commander was sent to Yumen Pass in advance.
He was indeed a little reluctant to leave, holding the power of the murder knife, reluctance to leave the iron cavalry in the military camp, reluctance to leave the long years of yellow sand.
But he was also unbearable.
Because it was not the enemy's army, not the gods and Buddhas of the Western Regions, but himself.
His years.
His experience.
Everything he carries.
He expanded his territory, killed countless people, and achieved success and fame. He was originally very satisfied, but later he was defeated by his own heart.
The artillery martial arts in the distance seemed to be over. The Gobi desert, without the roar, seemed to become more and more empty. The people stepped on the yellow sand, making a light sound, outlining smoke and dust.
Suddenly, someone in Lu Bu's queue let out a light scream and pointed ahead.
In front, smoke and dust gradually arose.
In the smoke and dust, there is a flag.
The flag is not big, but it is very distinctive, and it seems to be incompatible with the Great Han Dynasty, and it seems to be closely related to the Great Han Dynasty, because that flag is the three-color flag of the Great Han Dynasty.
The flags fluttered, as if no matter how big the wind, frost, rain and snow could not be suppressed, and no matter how big the yellow sand, smoke and dust could not be covered. These wind, frost, rain, snow, yellow sand, smoke and dust seemed to be shocked by such a flag and quietly slid to both sides.
Seeing the flag on that side, Lu Bu let out a long breath for some reason, feeling a complete relaxation from his shoulders. It was not until this moment that he realized that he had been waiting for this person to arrive.
But at the same time, I was also afraid of this person's arrival...
The yellow sand was long and the smoke and dust were everywhere. The flags stopped, revealing Fei Qian's figure.
Suddenly there was silence in the desert, as if even the whistling of wind and sand and the sound of war horses stopped at this moment.
Everyone looked at Fei Qian and Lu Bu.
Lu Bu was silent, but the expression on his face was ups and downs and was unstable. At this moment, no words might accurately describe the meaning of the expression, which was complex and confused.
Fei Qian came to the Western Regions. Everyone thought that only swords and guns were left between Fei Qian and Lu Bu, but Lu Bu came.
Everyone thought that Fei Qian would wait for Lu Bu to visit him, but Fei Qian came.
In silence, Xu Chu, who followed Fei's hidden behind, stared at Lu Bu's every move.
Taishici immediately stood on Fei Qian's side, holding a long halberd in his hand, frowned and looked at Lu Bu and said, "What do you want to do if this guy is still there?"
Xu Chu glanced at Taishi Ci with an expressionless face, and was still silent.
Fei Qian said calmly, "If Lu Fengxian really takes action, he will admire his courage and... stupidity."
"Lord," Taishici stared at Lu Bu, "This guy is indeed stupid."
The wind blew slowly, as if careful, and quietly passed between Lu Bu and Fei Qian with his toes, indicating that he was just making soy sauce.
Fei Qian's tone still did not fluctuate at all, "Han's law is the first. Since he was the Han cavalry, he must follow the Han law. When he left Chang'an, the public had a lot of discussions, but the affairs of the Western Regions were not determined by me, but by law."
Taishici glanced at Fei Qian with a squinted eyes, and saw that Fei Qian had a serious face, which didn't seem to be a joke, but this statement seemed to be a joke. Indeed, Fei Qian is now a great man, and every move involves the nerves of many people. Even if he appears here now, Taishici still cannot guess what he wants to do.
Fei Qian looked at Lu Bu, "A man's courage is a thousand troops, but it is only gained by a generation. The laws of a country that governs all peoples can be based on a hundred generations... Which one is more important, you must be careful."
Fei Qian's voice was actually not very loud, but the content of this sentence seemed to clearly penetrate the wind that penetrated the Gobi Desert and reached everyone's ears.
As soon as the words came, everyone seemed to be quiet, and even the sound of the wind seemed to stop.
Taishici seemed to be still echoing Fei Qian's words in his ears, but his eyes were staring at Lu Bu who was slowly coming from the other side.
Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian, what do you want to do?
The people present, whether they are generals, military academy, or ordinary soldiers, know in their hearts that if they are in personal force, then Lu Bu is invincible in all kinds of skills in the battlefield. Although Fei Qian is called the cavalry, his martial arts are actually average. If Fei Qian uses his personal martial arts to challenge Lu Bu, it is like a mantis challenging an oriole.
But now, who is the mantis, who is the oriole, or the hunter behind the oriole?
Taishi Ci narrowed his eyes and stared at Lu Bu, thinking silently in his heart that Lu Fengxian probably had no brains. If he hadn't had brains, how could he have done such a crazy thing? But Fei Qian was also a little crazy. What if Lu Bu suddenly started to explode? Even though he and Xu Chu were on the side, Lu Bu was really within five steps...
Seeing Fei Qian's actions so calm and his expression was so calm, Taishi Ci thought about Fei Qian's chances of having a backup plan. Thinking about this, perhaps something bloody will not happen next.
But what if?
Most of the people in the north are martial, and most of them are simple and direct. If you disagree, you will be fist-like. It has a bit of a Northeastern atmosphere in later generations. If you look at each other for a few more eyes, you will fight. If you have big fists, it makes sense. If Lu Bu is still confused...
Thinking of this, Taishi Ci made a move that made everyone look a little bit sideways. He whispered to Fei Qian, then rode his horse forward, stopped Fei Qian, and shouted to Lu Bu: "Lu Fengxian! At this point, you still don't dismount quickly to apologize!"
『…』 Fei Qian frowned slightly, pondered for a while, but finally said nothing.
Fei Qian understood what Taishici meant.
In addition to protecting Fei Qian, Taishici is also "protecting" himself.
Taishi Ci had a calm face, held the long halberd tightly, and leaned forward slightly, like a tiger pressing its front paw on the rock, which would pounce directly on the next moment.
Although Taishici did not decide the outcome of the victory and defeat with Xu Chu, from the intuition of the warrior and the observations of these days, Taishici knew that Xu Chu was also a powerful general and had it on Fei Qian's side. Even if Lu Bu really wanted to do anything, he might not be able to hurt Fei Qian.
But the problem is that Lu Bu is not familiar with Xu Chu at all. He has been away from Chang'an for too long. If Lu Bu really can't think about it for a while, then it will not only be Lu Bu's death path, but also "kill" Taishi Ci!
Up to now, the cavalry has relatively delegated power to all the generals under his command.
This is very important.
From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, to the Qin and Han dynasties, there have been countless generals, whether it is the evil god Bai Qi, Jiang Lianpo, or the war god Han Xin, what they are most afraid of is not the opponents on the battlefield, but the friendly countries behind them.
Looking at the current situation in Shandong, the military power of the Cao family belongs to the Xiahou family. The generals of the foreign surname are either married or can only be obedient. On the surface, they are also called generals, but in fact they do not have much room for activities and live a cautious life. On the other hand, Fei Qian's attitude towards foreign generals is undoubtedly different from that of Shandong.
But the things Lu Bu did in the Western Regions were like killing himself and killing other foreign generals!
If Fei Qian felt distrust of the generals of the foreign surname, and then began to gather the authority of these foreign surnames, or to engage in marriage or military supervision like in Shandong, then Lu Bu would be the sinner of all the lieutenant generals!
Cutting off one's wealth is like killing one's parents.
Seizing human rights is like destroying the three clans!
Lu Bu's eyes were slightly cold. He stared at Taishi Ci and stopped the horse, "What are you going to do?"
"Dropping off the horse! Apologizing!" Taishi Ci also stared at Lu Bu, "It's not what I want to do, but what you want to do?!"
Lu Bu slowly stroked the long handle of Fang Tian's painting halberd and said in a deep voice: "Do you think you can take the position of the Great Protector if you kill me? The position of the Western Regions Protectorate has been a trap from the beginning, and it is a dead end. Now you also want to take this dead end?"
Taishi Ci curled his lips and snorted, "It's a dead end, but it's also your dead end."
Lu Bu smiled up to the sky, waved his hand to let the guards behind him stop, and rode his horse slowly forward, "Then let's see the real chapter first!"
『Hmph!』 Taishici narrowed his eyes, 『The stubbornness will not change!"
After saying that, Taishi Ci also rode his horse forward.
The two started to accelerate, but the speed was not fast, but it was not slow either.
Fei Qian looked quietly, his eyes as if they were on the two people, and also on the world.
"Zhongkang."
Fei Qian said lightly.
"I'm here."
Xu Chu lowered his head slightly and replied.
"After they fight for a few rounds, they will let someone throw two grenades into the open space there." Fei Qian raised his chin slightly and pointed to the Gobi desert beside him. "Both people should be awake."
Xu Chu received the order and immediately ordered not to mention it.
Yellow sand is flying.
Lu Bu's expression was cold, and his eyes under his thick eyebrows showed a hint of violence.
Lu Bu didn't want to do anything to Fei Qian. Even when he came here, he wanted to lower his head in front of Fei Qian, admit his mistakes, and then excuse himself and find a new way.
Lu Bu did not bow his head easily, but it did not mean that he never bowed his head.
When he was desperate, Lu Bu would bow his head, just like when Baimen Tower arrived in front of Cao Cao, he would also say that he was tied too tightly and expressed that he was willing to serve...
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! According to Lu Bu's idea, he felt that Fei Qian might be like Yuan Shao, fearing his force, so he deliberately "framed" him. So in the conversation with Taishi Ci, he faintly expressed his resentment towards the position of governing the Western Regions. He felt that it was just like Yuan Shao asked him to go to Yanshan to suppress bandits. He said it nicely at the beginning, but in fact it was not a good intention.
It is not Lu Bu's patent to make excuses from others and let others take the blame.
For example, when something happens, there will be temporary workers and majestic figures of external employees...
Therefore, Lu Bu's mood for Fei Qian was very complicated. He was both unwilling and awe, as well as suspicion, resentment, jealousy, etc., but it would not be true that Lu Bu came this time to attack Fei Qian. After all, Fei Qian was not like Dong Zhuo, and he did not stab him with a short halberd.
However, Taishici's interference made Lu Bu's anger overwhelmed other emotions. He felt that Taishici wanted him to establish his authority! Using him as a stepping stone, he wanted to sit in the position that originally belonged to him!
So Lu Bu naturally expressed his strong hostility in just two sentences and directly faced Taishi Ci.
If you want to sit in my position, it depends on whether you have this weight!
Lu Bu and Taishi Ci seemed slow but they were fast, but they collided in one place!
The two of them have martial arts, strength, and even skills. Perhaps Lu Bu’s original value should be higher, but now Lu Bu is older and has fallen from his peak, so the two are actually quite different...
If the difference is not much, it means that it is difficult to decide the winner for a while.
The sharp blades intersect and Mars are radiating.
For a moment, two horses and two halberds were entangled, intertwined, collided, and the horse's hooves kicked yellow sand and splashed everywhere, and the cold light jumped with the breath of death...
Wei Xu's eyes narrowed, and his mind was not on Lu Bu's victory or defeat. He felt that he was about to die, and if he didn't find a way, he would definitely be dead. Although Lu Bu has been protecting him these days, and even under the pressure of Zhang Liao, he saved his life, but that was only facing Zhang Liao and Han Zheng!
Lu Bu can withstand the pressure of Zhang Liao and Han Zheng, but if Fei Qian ordered him to be killed, can Lu Bu still withstand? Can he still protect him? Wei Xu knew Lu Bu, even beyond his understanding of himself. He knew that if Lu Bu and him really had to choose one of them, Lu Bu would definitely choose himself instead of protecting him Wei Xu!
Just like this time I came to Yumen Pass and took the initiative to apologize to Fei Qian, it was Lu Bu's idea, not Wei Xu's idea! Or it was Mrs. Yan's idea!
Wei Xu wanted to make Lu Bu do whatever he wanted, so he simply attacked Zhang Liao and then split the Western Regions!
But at the critical moment, Lu Bu stopped listening to him again...
This means that his status is no longer guaranteed in Lu Bu’s heart!
Mrs. Yan casually put down the hatred of her nephew being killed by Zhang Liao, saying that it was her nephew's problem, and praised Zhang Liao for killing well and having no problem at all.
But if Wei Xu can stretch out his head and ask Zhang Liao, or Fei Qian to chop, should he still applaud?
He originally thought that when Lu Bu arrived at Yumen Pass, there might be some turning point, but he didn't expect that the fight would start!
So……
Does Lu Bu mean...
Looking at the Hussar formation displayed in the distance, Wei Xu felt cold. He had to find a way out for himself!
Seeking to live in death!
Wei Xu suddenly saw two soldiers in the Fei Qian queue opposite him reaching the side of Lu Bu and Taishi Ci's fight. He immediately browsed and pulled Cao Xing aside and said, "The Protector is in danger! Look! The cavalry is going to take action!"
The eight generals who followed Lu Bu before, Gao Shun is dead. Not long after Cheng Lian was in the Western Regions, his old illness relapsed and died. Now only Wei Xu and Cao Xing are left.
Cao Xing is not very capable in his personal ability, both politically and militaryally, and has no ambitions and only has good archery skills. Therefore, he has almost no sense of existence in the Western Regions. Anyway, Cao Xing does not pursue high standards. As long as he eats and drinks every day, he basically doesn’t care about anything else.
Cao Xing was stunned.
"Hurry! Since the cavalry is unkind, don't blame us for being unrighteous! Go to the side and shoot the cavalry, we will rush forward directly!" Wei Xu said viciously.
『Ah?』 Cao Xing was confused, 『What? Didn’t you shoot the two soldiers outside? Shoot the cavalry? Are you crazy?』
"I'm not crazy! Look! The cavalry is really going to attack his lord!" Wei Xu said gritting his teeth, "I'm asking for life! I'm asking for a way out for us! If I don't do it, we will all die here! Get ahead! Success or failure is here!"
Cao Xing was still a little confused, but he was quickly pushed by Wei Xu, and then kicked the horse's butt, causing his war horse to tread towards the periphery of the fight.
Wei Xu winked desperately.
