Chapter 2903: Pay attention to words and deeds, be cautious before ending
The Western Regions have never been prosperous before.
It has risen and fallen several times, and now it is again.
When the economy is booming, the fire is cooking and the flowers are blooming. Everyone regards money as money, has fun, eats, drinks and enjoys. When the real crisis comes, they realize that their position is actually on the ice.
, what supported them has melted until only a thin layer remains.
It's just that some people will be panicked, but some people are still thinking about it, and even self-anaesthetic.
Then play music and then dance, and you can live one day at a time.
This may also be Lu Bu's previous mentality.
If he hadn't known about Fei Qian's coming, he might not even have wanted to come to Yumen Pass.
Lu Bu lowered his head, but refused to lower his head completely.
He is unwilling to admit his fault, even though he knows it is his fault.
The secret method passed down by China through the ages is the Thirty-Six Styles of Tossing the Pot.
When it comes to dumping the blame, some people are good at it, and some people are just good at it. Those who are good at dumping can climb high, while those who are not good at dumping will get blood on their foreheads.
When many liability issues arise, most likely no one will take the initiative to take responsibility.
Because taking responsibility means being held accountable.
No one wants to be held accountable and lose power or benefits. Therefore, at this time, they will inevitably want to find a scapegoat to throw away this responsibility.
Generally speaking, in an organization, the person with the least strength, the least popularity, and the most enemies becomes the person to be held accountable.
Well, it’s you, who is the bigger one?
Of course, you can also blame external enemies.
If there is no scapegoat internally, and it is clear that something happened to them, and they cannot shirk it, they will adopt conspiracy theory strategies and shift the responsibility to the outside world. This is the result of the enemy's careful calculation. It is not that the brothers are incompetent, but that the enemy is too cunning.
Shifting responsibility to cunning external opponents in exchange for one's own image as a victim to win sympathy from others is also a way to shirk.
If this still fails to get rid of the blame, then you should consider whether you can shift the responsibility to a small probability event. For example, it would be very appropriate to let a black swan take the responsibility.
As for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who issued an edict to blame himself, ostensibly taking responsibility for it, it was a mistake that had been made for many years. He had been blamed one after another, and there was really no one to blame. In addition, his power was stable, but the people's will
It is only at this time that people will admit their mistakes to gain everyone's forgiveness, change policies for the next generation, and gain a basis for legitimacy.
In other words, when you really can’t find someone to take the blame, and you already have too much blame to throw away, you might be honest!
The same goes for Lu Bu.
As the most responsible person in the Western Region, Gao Shun died, and he died in his hands. He couldn't get rid of it anyway, so he felt that "maybe" he was wrong, and he came not only to express
He wanted to show off his attitude of "admitting his mistake", and also used Tai Shici's "provocation" to demonstrate his own abilities!
Lian Po...oh, Lu Bu can still eat!
Taishi Ci and Lu Bu had only had friendly discussions before, and had relatively restrained themselves a lot. But this time, both sides were almost going all out.
Ordinary people use long halberds, slashing, stabbing, and stabbing moves. They basically follow a straight line, strive for speed and accuracy, and pursue killing the enemy with one blow. They are powerful and unstoppable. But when they reach the realm of Lu Bu and Tai Shi Ci,
Not only does it use strong techniques, but it also uses delicate skills. The force still looks strong and powerful, but it also contains some small arcs between square inches, making the halberd's front always move in a circular motion, so no matter whether the euphorbia advances or retreats,
The momentum of attack and defense is as continuous as the Yangtze River, so that the moves can never get old and there is always room for strength.
Fei Qian, a layman, could see some clues, not to mention Tai Shici, who was in the center of the storm and fighting each other.
Taishi Ci slightly regretted it. He originally thought that Lu Bu was already useless after eating and drinking in the Western Regions, but he didn't expect that Lu Bu would use it immediately. Fang Tian painted a halberd and waved it. It seemed simple and simple, but only those who faced him would
Only then can you understand the horror contained in it.
For the first time in a long time, Taishi Ci felt the god of death roaring from left to right, so close to his body and neck. Between the virtual and the real, if he made a slight mistake in judgment, he would inevitably step into the gate of hell!
Moreover, Fang Tian's painted halberd has one more crescent moon than the halberd used by Taishi Ci, so it also has more skills and changes. Every time the halberd attacks, Taishi Ci does not have to attack, block or dodge.
It was not easy, and he even vaguely felt the heavy pressure, which was constricting the space around him little by little. If he was not careful, he would end up with his head missing.
Lu Bu's halberd whizzed towards Fangtian. Taishi Ci did not dare to sharpen the edge easily. He could only take a deep breath, shake off Lu Bu's entanglement with his halberd, then hold the long handle and stab Lu Bu's lower abdomen with all his strength.
, and at the same time, following the stab, the body shape stretched out in a straight line, which not only increased the range of one's attack, but also avoided the slash of Lu Bu Fangtian's painted halberd.
But the next moment, Lu Bu lowered his wrist, and with a "clang" sound, the two swords clashed. Taishi Ci drew back his strength inward, trying to use his soft power to soften Lu Bu's strength before he counterattacked, but unexpectedly it went outward.
When it was tilted, it was empty!
Lu Bu turned around and returned his hand, and the crescent moon of Fang Tian's halberd drew an arc and headed towards Tai Shi Ci's neck!
The next moment, Taishi Ci raised his foot and suddenly kicked the horse's butt under Lu Bu's crotch. Lu Bu's horse was startled and jumped out immediately. Lu Bu's attack naturally failed, but Taishi Ci's attack was in vain.
The sky passed in front of me...
Lu Bu looked relaxed on the surface, but in fact he was under increasing pressure.
Taishi Ci is young, can withstand pressure, and has good endurance. If he cannot be defeated as soon as possible, he will be the only one who cannot show his fatigue!
But Taishi Ci was very resilient, and even though Lu Bu put pressure on him again and again, he just couldn't take it down!
The two of them were going back and forth, and the battle was fierce. Xu Chu, who was outside the fighting circle, couldn't help but be attracted by the two of them...
Xu Chu was not weak in martial arts, so he looked at it and put himself into it. If he faced Lu Bu or Tai Shi Ci, how would he deal with it, and how would he have a chance to win?
"That's enough." Fei Qian said in a deep voice, "Let them stop."
Fei Qian didn't want to see a situation where both of them would lose, but it was still necessary to let both parties know that there was a better world, or whether there was an absolute gap in force.
Xu Chu accepted the order and then shouted towards the inside of the battle circle. Unfortunately, the two men were fighting fiercely and did not separate immediately, so Xu Chu could only wave to the soldiers outside the battle circle.
On the other side, Cao Xing, under Wei Xu's urging, began to bend his bow and nock an arrow.
Cao Xing didn't have that big ambition, nor that strong ability, otherwise he wouldn't be satisfied with eating and drinking in the Western Region. He actually didn't feel much about the changes outside. Until now, the Western Region seemed to have collapsed.
Suddenly he couldn't continue to enjoy it.
Although Wei Xu tried his best to instigate Cao Xing to shoot Fei Qian to death, Cao Xing really didn't have the courage. He felt that since there were hussar soldiers who wanted to attack Lu Bu, the best he could do was to counterattack Taishi Ci.
…
"Boom! Boom!"
Two consecutive grenades exploded in the wilderness, making a huge noise and sending up two plumes of smoke.
The huge sound finally made the two guys who were a little bit awake from the fight, and they reined in their horses. At this moment, Cao Xing also raised his bow, shouted, and shot a shot at Taishi Ci.
arrow.
At this time, most of Taishi Ci's attention was still on Lu Bu, and then he heard Cao Xing's loud shout, and then turned around suddenly, only to see that the arrow had already reached his chest. He couldn't dodge, and he was hit by the arrow!
Suddenly, everyone’s expression changed!
But I saw Taishi Ci holding the arrow handle with his hand, his face changing again and again. Under the different eyes of everyone, he slowly pulled out the arrow stuck in the armor, only to see that there was no arrow on the arrow.
, there is only one wooden base that appears to be cracked due to the impact with the armor.
It turns out that at some point, Cao Xing secretly pulled out the arrow, and what he shot was just an arrow without an arrow...
Even so, the guards brought by Fei Qian were aroused. They immediately shouted and spurred their horses out, with swords and guns raised, and surrounded Lu Bu and others. The scene was about to break out.
Cao Xing raised his hands, his face pale.
Lu Bu did not immediately resist, but put Fang Tian's painted halberd behind him, reined in his horse and stood quietly. His whole body was like a rock, motionless, except for the look of a hungry wolf in his eyes, cold.
Look towards Fei Qian.
"As expected!" Lu Bu laughed coldly, "I shouldn't have come to this Western Region in the first place! This was a trap! Looking back, it was really a big mistake by Lu Bu. Even so, let's go together!"
Xu Chu stepped forward with his sword in hand and shouted in a deep voice: "Bold! You are treasonous, especially if you don't repent. You deserve death!"
Lu Bu laughed loudly, "Guilty and innocent, that's all!"
Taishi Ci also said: "Lu Fengxian! My lord kindly asked you to be the protector of the Western Regions, but now the Western Regions are in such a situation! What should you say?! Is it a sin for my lord to grant you a reward?!"
Lu Bu was still laughing, "Haha, He is just a lone wolf in the north! Traveling thousands of miles! Fighting against thousands of enemies! All of He's achievements are due to He's riding a horse and holding a halberd in his hand! How come the merit of others?!"
Fei Qian smiled slightly, knocked his horse, took two steps forward, and looked at the horse under Lu Bu's crotch, "Brother Feng, this horse...is it a red rabbit?"
"Uh..." Lu Bu was stunned for a moment.
Red Rabbit 1 has long since passed away, and now is Red Rabbit 2.
Red Rabbit Horse No. 1 is bright red, while Red Rabbit Horse No. 2 is dark red. It is not as conspicuous as No. 1, but it is still extraordinary.
"The name Red Rabbit was given by Brother Feng." Fei Qian said slowly, "Brother Feng, do you remember what he said at that time?"
Lu Bu was silent and did not answer. He just remembered that Fei Qian took him to the racecourse and selected a horse that was similar to Red Rabbit. As for what he said at that time, how could he remember it?
"I asked Brother Feng what the name of this horse should be," Fei Qian said with a smile, "Brother Feng also called it Red Rabbit. The name is not important. On the battlefield, its use is important. Call it.
, as a driver, call Red Rabbit directly, then you will know that it is Fengxian's horse...Brother Fengxian, don't you remember?"
Lu Bu took a breath and said, "I probably remember."
Fei Qian nodded and said: "In the battlefield, we don't use names, but focus on their uses. We don't ask for their emptiness, but for the reality. What about war horses, let alone people? Now, I dare to ask Brother Feng, who is this person?
Is it not as good as a horse, or is it that a horse is not as good as a human? Is it seeking practicality and practicality, or is it a matter of focusing on name and reality?"
Lu Bu couldn't answer.
Fei Qian did not speak very profoundly, nor did he deliberately say any allusions, because most people, including Lu Bu, could not understand the allusions, so the simpler the explanation, the better, "I am from the Heluofei clan.
On the side branch, the family is not prosperous, and the late father passed away early, leaving only a few tile-roofed houses and a few shelves of books. Taishi Ziyiyuan came from the East, and the family is not well-known. It only has a little land for learning.
Wu and Xu Zhongkang did have a fortress with some fertile farmland around it, but it was also destroyed when Yuan and Cao fought against each other, so he surrendered to Guanzhong..."
"This is us, let's take a look at them! The Xiahou family of the Cao family was born into a noble family. They were originally a local wealthy family... The Yuan brothers have four generations and three sons. Their disciples and former officials are all over the world, so they were promoted as the leaders of the alliance... Liu Jingsheng and Liu Junlang
They are the royal family members of the Han Dynasty, and they are born to be rich and prosperous!"
Fei Qian's voice was not loud, but it was sonorous and powerful, "They all have big families! They have connections, financial resources, and land! And what about us? Brother Fengxian said that he got his current fame by getting a halberd in the horse's palm under his crotch. So, everyone present, and
Which one of you is standing here because of your family’s prominence and the legacy of your ancestors?!』
"..." Lu Bu pursed his lips tightly.
"This world originally belonged to them! We can only crawl on the ground and live on the scraps of food they exposed from the cracks of their fingers! We must also be grateful! Otherwise they will use various means to crush us to death! As if
Crush an ant to death!』
Fei Qian's voice rolled across the Gobi and stirred up the yellow sand. "Brother Feng said he was a lone wolf. That's right! He is indeed a lone wolf! And of all of you present, who is a powerful family member who has been with us for generations?"
Official?! Who else has achieved his or her achievements through parents, advocacy, wealth and thousands of acres of fertile land? Brother Feng can indeed be called a lone wolf, and who of you is not this big man?
A lone wolf in troubled times? A lone wolf struggling among flesh and blood, seeking survival in the yellow sand!』
After hearing what Fei Qian said, everyone was silent. For a moment, everyone had mixed feelings, ups and downs, bitterness, and spicy mixed together, and they didn't know what it felt like.
Who wouldn’t want to lie down comfortably if possible?
But what if you lie down and someone immediately rides on top of you to dominate?
Those who are incompetent, greedy, and hypocritical, who tell lies and do despicable things, are all arrogant and proud; while those who are hard-working, honest, and hardworking, who work hard and do hard things without complaining, are still superior.
All of them were in ragged clothes and prostrate themselves on the ground.
People from above are shouting: "Look, these people are suffering now because their ancestors didn't work hard! Our ancestors have all worked hard, so we are blessed! You have to work hard, and you will be rewarded! This is called blessing!"
Listening to the underground people, it seems that there is some truth in it. They feel that as long as they work hard, maybe even if they cannot change their own situation, they can make their children and grandchildren live a better life...
But in fact, they lied.
What matters is not effort, but the means of production. They do not rely on the sweat of their ancestors, but on the means of production that their ancestors robbed. From ancient times, whoever has more means of production can exploit others.
people.
They hide this most important factor, but casually dangle a false carrot in the name of "hard work" dangling in front of the donkeys and mules.
Fei Qian's eyes swept over everyone. He did not continue to explain in depth, because to be honest, they didn't understand it.
Even in later generations, many people still don't understand this, and they will always stand on the side of the capitalists, saying that it is not easy for capitalists to open factories and companies, and that proletarians must first be considerate before being considerate, saying that who wants to open a factory?
Companies that run businesses have trouble with the government formed in the name of the proletariat...
The people on the stage screamed and wagged their tails and begged for mercy, while the people on the stage were reserved and applauded and laughed with their money.
Some people really don't understand, and some people pretend not to understand.
Therefore, at the moment, Fei Qian can only say something simpler, more straightforward, and easier for these people to understand.
Compared with the land of Shandong, the political collective in Guanzhong basically belongs to people who are not relatively famous, nor do they have too much family property. This is true for military commanders, and the same is true for civil servants.
"How can princes and generals be contented with each other!" Fei Qian continued, "So what if we win, what if we lose, what joy is there in life, and what pain is there in death? How can a man who is upright stand up to the heaven and earth allow others to be like this?"
"We gathered in Chang'an and met here, isn't it just to calm down the breath in our chests?!" Fei Qian said loudly, "Since we are soldiers, we should gain our own value on the battlefield where thousands of troops are fighting.
Looking for your own glory! Instead of imitating them, eating and drinking the blood of the common people! If we are like them, we will ignore the suffering of the people and only think about our own enjoyment and only think about the future generations and our descendants.
Riding on the heads of the people, what's the difference between us and them! Is this what we want and the glory we pursue?"
"Brother Feng, others call you a master-devourer and a traitor, but I have never thought of it that way." Fei Qian's voice was sonorous and powerful, "Ding Jianyang, with his humble status as the governor of Bingzhou, should have fulfilled his duties loyally and served as the governor of Bingzhou."
The people of Bingzhou wanted to stop foreign enemies and pacify the place, but he forgot his origin and his responsibilities! In order to fight for power and gain, he stayed in Luoyang, so that Xianbei went south and invaded the north! Countless people were displaced and suffered innocently.
Therefore he deserves to die!"
"Ding Jianyang, for losing his position and forgetting his original intention, deserves to die!"
"Dong Zhongying was born in Xiliang. He originally served the country, fought on the battlefield, and later led a heavy army to defend the imperial court. But he also forgot his own origin and the people who had supported him! He committed lewdness in the palace, killed for fun, and minted evil money.
They plundered the people's wealth and stored it in Xiwu, saying that it could be used endlessly by their descendants! As a result, the people of Heluo in Guanzhong were miserable, and they had no choice but to exchange their wealth for food!"
"Dong Zhongying is so cruel and cruel that the common people deserve to die!"
"But now in the Western Region, who died?" Fei Qian looked at Lu Bu with a sad expression, "The one who died was the conscientious Gao Boping! The one who died was the hardworking and uncomplaining people of the West Sea! The one who died was the flow of blood.
Innocent soldiers who sweat and shed blood but still shed tears!"
"Lu Fengxian!"
"What is the difference between you now and Ding Jianyang and Dong Zhongying!"
