"I never thought that everything today would happen. At that time, I was still full of dreams..."
This is the story of an old man, a story about his unique love and justice. This is not the first time Li Shushi has heard such a story, and I believe it will not be the last time he hears it. In fact, those who are now fighting in the land of the Han Dynasty
How many of the princes in the world have never been young, never been frivolous, and have never dreamed of changing this era on their own?
Not only Dong Zhuo, not only Zhang Jiao, but also many people including Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.
Li Shushi may be one of the few people who does not want to change the era on his own. After all, he was already thirty years old before he came to this era. Naturally, he has already passed the age of secondary disease.
Compared with his great dreams, how to survive is the first priority for him.
He didn't even ask for living with dignity. After all, wanting to do that was really not something that Li Shushi, who was just a small person at the time, could afford. In other words, he never had the price to pay for his dignity.
For him, it is good to be able to do a small grocery store job, and then not live too miserable in this war-torn era that is bound to come. As for fame and fortune, after seeing his own attributes and the people around him,
I also gave up on attributes at the first time. After all, the kind of loser who still wants to leverage the times is no longer a chuunibyou but a psychopath.
He feels that he is still a normal person, an ordinary normal person.
So when did the change happen?
Was it when he met the unexpected Zhang Jiao? Or was it when he established a vague connection with Xiaoqiang? Or was it when Su Xiaololi suddenly came to him like that?
I don't know since when, he embarked on a path that was originally unimaginable. At first, he only had a simple idea. Since everything appeared so unscientific, it would be good to treat it all as a game.
Of course, I also do a little practical work for everyone. It is not a waste of time.
Then, all the way to now.
Perhaps the initial feelings have not been forgotten, but as time goes by and the number of people around me increases, the demands and expectations for myself become more and more numerous. It seems that I have followed the trend until now, and even started to
I fantasize about the possibility of going further. Even if I know the outcome of the matter at the beginning, I still feel proud when I hear the name of this country.
Have you forgotten your original intention?
Or have you been blinded by all kinds of fame and wealth?
I don't know, I really don't know.
but……
He raised his head and looked at Dong Zhuo, who was sitting opposite him. His face did not have the domineering feeling in the past because he had great power. Instead, his smile was quite a bit like that of the old man next door.
The dirt gave Li Shushi a sense of creepy fear. After all, this style of painting would be too weird for Dong Zhuo no matter how he looked at it.
"So you're starting to get confused?"
"Yes and no."
"Hey, I was once so confused when I was in power. In fact, before marching into Luoyang, I was secretly discussing with Wen You what we could do after entering the capital. After all, we were going to destroy that decayed city at once.
We have been discussing for a long time whether to destroy it or to bring out the rotten flesh bit by bit."
"But it still seems to have failed."
"Yes, especially when I had to retreat from Luoyang to Xiliang. No matter how nice it sounds, I actually know it best in my heart. What does retreat mean? I also know what I have experienced.
Even if I don't want to admit how my mentality has changed after that battle, there is no difference in terms of results."
"Well, compared to these life insights, it is better to wait until I am older. For me, it is still the first priority to deal with the enemies in front of me. I believe that Zhongying, you will appear here and have similar feelings.
The reason."
"Yes, because your performance today is so amazing, we are here with a heavy responsibility."
"Although it is indeed a good idea to instigate rebellion against the old army, it is a pity that General Fan is completely powerless with that 'high-tech' thing, because both soldiers and craftsmen are my direct subordinates, or Yuzi
Jiang’s direct subordinate.”
Li Shushi was once again slightly surprised that Dong Zhuo would admit it so readily. Although Li Shushi's response was also naturally brainless, it was mostly to regain the rhythm controlled by Dong Zhuo.
However, Li Shushi was obviously not very successful. In other words, facing Dong Zhuo, a veteran officialdom figure who looked very vulgar but actually had gaps within, it was really difficult for Li Shushi, who lacked experience in this area and had no other advantages.
win.
Of course, Dong Zhuo can't go too far. After all, as Li Shushi revealed at the beginning, maybe he doesn't have the ability to take advantage, but he does not lack the ability to overturn the table - maybe even if he wins against those puppet soldiers
It's just a flash in the pan, but it can't be dealt with by just a few people like Dong Zhuo.
It was still very easy. Although Li Shushi didn't know what Dong Zhuo's trump card was, he knew very clearly that Dong Zhuo, who had worked so hard to get to this point, would never give up easily everything he had gained by giving up a lot of things.
So Dong Zhuo would not really anger Li Shushi completely.
As for instigating rebellion, it is probably something that is used as an excuse, or it is the kind of thing that is gratifying if it succeeds, but it will not be a pity if it fails. It is a small side task that can be done incidentally when completing the main goal, and the reward is naturally only one piece.
Just tasteless.
"Tell me, who is the enemy we face this time?"
"Hey, wouldn't it be boring to reveal the mystery so quickly? But I can't tell you some things... For example, don't be deceived by the enemy's current appearance of fighting back after being beaten. I don't know about other guys, but the enemy's formation
A rather terrifying god of death who is extremely good at mobile warfare. Don’t look at it as just a group of warriors.
Soldiers who move on two legs can feel the ground shaking when they move, but as long as that guy is willing, they will become the most difficult to guard against. You need to be vigilant at all times. Once you are exposed
Even if there is a slight gap, that guy might catch it and take advantage of it."
"Could it be that Mr. Dong Zhuo is bluffing and wants to make us tense up all the time and eventually tire out our troops?"
"Hehe. Little guy, you can believe it or not. Anyway, I just said it. You don't have to believe it at all."
Regarding Chen Dao's somewhat impulsive duties, Dong Zhuo didn't care at all. Instead, he gave Li Shushi a look that every man could understand. After that, he unscrupulously looked up and down at the girl who dared to speak in front of him. He vaguely seemed
It reminded Dong Zhuo of the widow he longed for. Speaking of which, that woman seemed to have been abducted by Li Shushi.
Although he had given up something, Dong Zhuo still couldn't help but feel a little envious of Li Shushi at this time.
Even if he once became the real master of Luoyang City and could dominate the women in the late emperor Liu Hong's Crystal Palace, Dong Zhuo did not think that those women could really interest him. They were just tools for venting. Only what he saw in front of him
A woman with her own personality, a horse like a burning fire, is his favorite.
Well, it's like a certain black-skinned dwarf has a special preference for that kind of wife. It's just a different taste.
Just being stared at by Dong Zhuo for a long time, a little girl like Chen Dao was finally defeated. Although she tried her best to hide it, she still quietly moved her body towards the shadow behind Li Shushi's body.
This result not only aroused loud laughter from Dong Zhuo and the few subordinates behind him who were definitely not serious people, but even Xiao Qiang on Li Shushi's side also showed a few happy looks on his face - although he was immediately struck by a certain
Only Loli suppressed it.
"Xue naturally believes what Zhong Ying said, and Xue can also take a bold guess at who the 'god of murder' Zhong Ying mentioned is. In other words, Xue originally had some doubts. But with Zhong Ying, you
After some reminders, I can finally confirm it."
"Hey, I didn't expect you, Li Shushi, to believe the words of my 'enemy'. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
Regarding Li Shushi's reaction, Dong Zhuo showed a slightly surprised look for the first time. However, the next moment, he tried to demonstrate with a mocking expression, but even Xiaoqiang had noticed such an obvious change, let alone others.
"Haha, Zhong Ying, please don't hide it. Even though it is difficult to figure out the identity of the enemy for a while, with everyone's efforts and based on the clues, large and small, it is still possible to find a more accurate range.
of."
It is worth mentioning that in this large-scale search, a certain little dead ant performed particularly well. Even though the initial general direction was based on the reminders of Li Shushi and Su Xiaoluoli, it must be said that just relying on this general direction, he was able to cite classics.
After receiving a lot of detailed information that Li Shushi had not expected, this young man with the most talent at the time radiated his own dazzling light earlier than in the history of another dimension, both in terms of initiative and practical help.
It was enough to make Li Shushi very excited.
"...Can you tell me which aspect gave you the hint? I'm really curious. You must know that I have done a lot of research before this, and the history related to them has been erased almost beyond recognition, and has even been destroyed by others.
Forget."
"Maybe you won't believe it when I tell you. In fact, the reason why I think of them is entirely because of the names on the weapons."
"The... name on the weapon?!"
"Yes. That country is really a perfect war machine. In fact, I have recently begun to try to implement that model under my own rule - once the universality of a certain weapon is determined, it will adopt an 'assembly line' production method.
Division of labor and collaboration, shortening unit working hours. This requires each craftsman to focus on his products
Engraving my own name, and having supervisors at all levels, if anything goes wrong, I can follow the clues, find all the responsible persons, and ensure that my army has the best weapons. It has to be said that Qin Law may indeed be strict.
It's harsh, but in terms of efficiency, it has been achieved to the extreme, what do you think, Zhong Ying."
"Ha, as expected, I am still no better than you, Li Zhoumu, in handling government affairs. I can only understand half of your words at most, and that's because I have seen some things. Originally, I thought we could do it here.
It can be regarded as knowing yourself and knowing the enemy, and you can only be regarded as close friends at best, but now it seems that it may be the opposite."
Regarding Dong Zhuo's statement, Li Shushi looked noncommittal. In other words, he no longer planned to consider those issues at this time. After all, compared to thinking about that kind of thing, it was obvious that the enemy in front of him was the real headache.
A genius commander may be temporarily lost in the changes due to the changes of the times, but as long as he can find his true heart, he will still be the strong man. After all, even though the appearance is ever-changing, the essence of war has never been the same.
The world has changed, and there are thousands of ways to win, but the ideas behind these methods have not changed. In other words, as long as the gap between eras is filled, those genius commanders can still become the best among their peers in another era.
Outstanding.
Not to mention that from the development of the pre-Qin Dynasty to the present, this era has not completely changed beyond recognition. In other words, wars in this era are still people-oriented, morale is king, and the advantages of equipment are not enough to completely ignore the human factor.
Not to mention that even though there is a gap in time, at the moment when the other party obtains an inhuman body, a question mark has been placed on which side has the upper hand between the two parties - if it were not for the art of the explosion, it would even be...
Even the question mark does not need to be considered at all, and it can be directly declared that the other party has an absolute advantage in this aspect.
Although Dong Zhuo didn't say it clearly, from the excellent infiltration of the four of them tonight, Li Shushi knew that these guys must have some way to avoid making such a loud noise. As for the reason for not doing so before, either the other party couldn't.
Completely controlling his inhuman body is just like the other party's performance of gradually adapting to the battlefield of this era.
Or, those arrogant guys don't even bother to reveal their trump cards to enemies they consider "weak".
Regardless of the former point or the latter point, it is not good news for Li Shushi.
If it is the former, then such a long time is enough for the opponent to adapt. In fact, it can be seen from the opponent's increasingly intensified offensive on Chang'an City. The opponent seems to have gradually adjusted to the state they hope to achieve.
But if it is the latter point, Li Shushi will not be happy at all. After all, the other party still showed quite impressive abilities despite his "negligence" before, but this is not all of the other party. The other party does not even hold the same person as him.
The level of determination of the forces in the confrontation has reached this level, so as long as you think that the other party will correct their mentality from today on, they will use all their strength against the Bingzhou Army in the next battle.
For real warriors, this may make them happy, but for a commander, he would rather the other party would always look down on him - even if he actually knows very well that this is absolutely impossible.
Afraid?
Even beyond Li Shushi's own expectation, he doesn't seem to have any emotion called fear now. Perhaps it's because the group of undead on the grassland also include many celebrities who were once all-powerful, but they didn't show any true feelings.
What made Li Shushi's eyes light up - I have to say, even if
By the side of the Han Dynasty, the tribes on the grasslands basically maintained the customs and living habits they had inherited. Perhaps that is because the habits they have always adopted have been proven to be the most suitable way of survival for grassland people. If not
Without the interference of external forces, perhaps they will continue to survive like this.
Although Li Shushi is not an elite figure of any era, he carries more history and experience after all. Even if Li Shushi is not specialized in this, what he knows is just a general knowledge. But still, for this era
For the elites, they never lack intelligent minds. The only thing they lack is the spark of genius.
But what Li Shushi lacks most is a bunch of sparks that are not suitable for this era.
Suitable? Then continue to improve it into a system.
Not suitable? As long as the dross can be removed and the essence can be extracted, it can still be regarded as a new path.
So with the inspiration of Li Shushi and the efforts of a group of elites of the era, even the grasslands that had been closed were finally pried open by the Central Plains civilization in a more violent way, just like the strong ships and cannons of the decadent feudal country were pried open by violence.
In addition to bringing war and pain, it also brought another economy and life model, and brought the originally separated grassland and the Central Plains closer together, making the grassland more dependent on the Central Plains region.
These are the results of what Li Shushi has done over the years.
Therefore, even though those heroes on the grassland used the art of manipulation, but in the face of Li Shushi's naked interests, the people of the grassland once again showed their pragmatism. As long as they can have a better life,
They will definitely betray at the first opportunity, even if those people are their ancestors.
Since even the eagles on the grassland have broken their wings under the iron hoof of the Bingzhou Army, what reason does he have to fear that ancient army?
Even though the two enemies are obviously not in the same weight class.
At least the rabbits in the flower gardening family were able to finally turn around from such a disadvantage. As a descendant of this rabbit, he also had so much help from all sides. Did he want to embarrass his ancestors?
He and his Bingzhou Army are now powerful men who make everyone feel uneasy and even fearful in this land of the Central Plains! (To be continued...)
