Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2617 Meet each other

  『Third Brother…』

  If Liu Bei calls Zhang Fei, the tone of voice is mostly normal.

  If Guan Yu calls Zhang Fei, it depends on the situation. If it goes flat, it’s not a big deal. If it sinks all the way, then Zhang Fei will swallow his saliva, thinking that he has been caught again...

  But the "Third Brother" who said this now seems to be a little different, full of complicated emotions.

   With this sound, it wasn't Liu Bei and Guan Yu calling Zhang Fei, but Liu Bao was facing his third brother.

hatred?

   It seems that there is, but it is not entirely hate.

   Regret?

   Or is it mostly anger?

  Even Liu Bao himself is not very clear.

  『Bastard, call yourself the king! But Ba Du on the side and rear was angry because of this appellation, and his beard and hair were all raised, "You should call the king!" 』

  『Father is dead? ’Liu Bao ignored Badu’s clamor, and just fixed his gaze on the face of his third brother, ‘You...you killed your father? 』

  The third prince was silent for a while, then waved his hands, signaling Ba Du to back down, "Father is still alive, but he is about to die of anger. 』

   Liu Bao sneered, "Are you mad at me? Hehe, are you saying the opposite? For the sake of power and position, planning rebellion, expelling elder brother, and occupying the royal court, which one of these clauses is not enough to **** people off? 』

"You are lying! The third prince scolded angrily, "You are despicable and shameless when you take refuge with the Han people and betray Shiwei, a traitor to Shiwei!" 』

Liu Bao raised his head and laughed, "I am the eldest son, I must plan for the future of Shiwei people, so that Shiwei people can live better... But you, you dragged Shiwei people into the abyss of war, I don't know there will be How many Shiwei people died because of your actions! The sinner of the Shiwei people is you! 』

"you! ’ The third prince stared.

  『Unconvinced? Liu Bao waved his hand, "You are still young, and there are some things you didn't know before... It's my fault, I didn't expect you to be like this... Forget it, you think I have abandoned Shi Wei by learning from the Han people, yes wrong? But have you ever thought about why I should learn from the Han people? 』

  The third prince sneered.

  『To give the simplest example, why is the Han Chinese inherited by the eldest son? ’ Liu Bao said, ‘Have you thought about it? Why? Is it because the Han people have not experienced tribal elections? No, the Han people, like us Shiwei people, were tribes one by one in the early days, and then the tribal leaders sat together, discussed with each other, and elected the most capable and most famous person as the owner of the tribe. The leader of the tribe... At that time, the leader of the Han tribe was called Yao. Yao was old, and then Shun was elected, and Shun was old, and then Yu was elected...the three of them had no blood relationship at all, neither father nor son , not brothers, not even from the same tribe, just like our Shiwei people did in the earliest days... But soon, the Han people will not use this method... Do you know why? 』

  The third prince was silent.

  Actually, things about Yao, Shun and Yu are not all like what Liu Bao said, but the third prince didn't study, so naturally he doesn't understand anything, and he can't explain it.

  『Okay, I don’t laugh at you for not reading. ’ Liu Bao continued slowly, ‘To be honest, you should read more. Books are the best things of the Han people. What the Han people say can deceive people, but the books written by the Han people, you have to think, think about it, those books, those words are there, it will not be the same today, Tomorrow will be the same again...」

Liu Bao glanced at the third prince, "It is said in the Han people's books that it's not that the Han people don't want to continue to choose like this, but that they can't go on... Actually, when Shun of the Han people was old, he didn't want to choose anymore. His son came to succeed him, but at that time the Han people encountered natural disasters, and Shun couldn't deal with it, so he chose Dayu, because at that time Dayu was the most famous and powerful, he chose Dayu, maybe at the beginning, it was just He wanted to use Dayu to weaken the strength of Dayu's tribe, and finally, when Dayu couldn't handle the situation, he stepped forward and let his son inherit... In fact, it is almost the same as our father's attention, isn't it...』

   When Liu Bao said this, he also felt a little emotional. His original main force was put on the old guys who suppressed Yu Fuluo outside the royal court, but he did not expect the third prince to turn the tables in the royal court.

  The third prince stared at Liu Bao, "This is different! 』

  『OK, it’s different. Liu Bao didn't argue, and nodded, "Later, Dayu of the Han people didn't continue to choose among the tribes. He chose to pass it on to his son. Do you know why?" Just because Dayu likes his son? Who doesn't like their own children? Why did it go smoothly to Shun in the time of Yao, but encountered problems when Shun gave it to Yu? And Dayu gave it directly to his son? Have you read it? Have you thought about it? 』

  The third prince frowned, "Is it written in the Han books? 』

   Liu Bao looked up to the sky and laughed, "How could the Han people write everything in books?" This is something to think about, it depends on the brain! 』

  The third prince stared at Liu Bao, silent for a long time, and finally held back, "Okay, tell me what you think. 』

  『Does this need to be said? Liu Bao pointed to the surrounding area, "Isn't this right in front of you?" If you don't do this, it will be chaotic. 』

  『Chhh, isn’t it going to be messy after doing this? ’ The third prince sneered.

  『Yeah, it will be messy if you do it,』 Liu Bao smiled half-smile, 『Then if you don’t do this, wouldn’t it be even more messy? 』

  『…』The third prince lowered his face.

   Liu Bao sneered, "Do you think you can win a war by standing over there and shouting, and then others rush forward desperately?" To fight, how to fight, where the armaments are, how much food and grass are there, to what extent, whether the opponent has reinforcements, how many troops are on our side, how to arrange and dispatch, what to do if some people don't follow orders, and if some people don't work hard What to do, what to do if someone temporarily rebels... Hehe, I see, most of these things, you have never thought about it, you just know how to call for a fight, want the dignity of the Shiwei people, want the integrity of the Shiwei people...』

"fart! When there is a war, I will definitely be the first to rush forward! The third son said angrily.

  『Very well, then you die first, who will replace you next? Liu Bao nodded and asked, "Have you arranged for someone to take your place and complete the entire battle?" 』

  『…』 The third son was taken aback, and pointed at Badu, 『He! He came to replace me! 』

Liu Bao laughed so hard that tears and snot came out, "Hahahahaha...that's right, I guess you will be like this...hahahaha, okay, that's great, I'll just ask a question and ask him to take your place After that... Is this royal court still ours? 』

  Third Prince: 『￣□￣｜｜』

  『Okay, even if he is loyal, he still says it belongs to our family, but what about his children? Will his children think they still have a place for us in the royal court? Liu Bao asked again, "Even his children would do it, but what about his children's children?" At that time, who will remember that our Shi Wei's surname is Luan Ti? ! 』

  The third prince was silent for a long time, "Then you can't..."

  『Can’t learn from Han people? ’ Liu Bao laughed, somewhat helpless in his smile, ‘If you don’t learn from the Han people, who can you learn from? If you don’t become the same as the Han people, the Han people will teach you? It's all right now, we've started our own quarrel, is it father who is happy, is it you, is it me, or these Shiwei people? No, hehe, it’s Han Chinese…”

  ...(⊙﹏⊙|||)...

  Yin Mountain.

  『Peace talks? ’ Li Dian frowned.

  『Although we haven’t reached any stage of complete peace talks, but look at this... 』 Zhang Xiu said, 『It should be impossible to fight for the time being...』

  Li Dian wandered around the festival hall a few times with his hands behind his back.

"do not fight? That does not work. Li Dian stopped, looked at Zhang Xiu with a frown and said, "Peace talks are not good. 』

  Zhang Xiu also nodded, "I don't think so, so..."

   Li Dian smiled, "Then they're so messed up that they have nothing to talk about!" 』

  …(▽)/…

   Time passed without stopping for a moment because of anyone.

   The night was dark. Some of the large and small tents, houses, and messy sheds in the southern Huns' royal court have already calmed down. Some are still noisy.

People of certain status, eating meat and drinking, sighed leisurely, discussed loudly, or simply quarreled and cursed, expressing different opinions on the future of the Southern Huns, and it was as lively as a pot of boiling porridge , puffing around, seemed to be full of vitality, brimming with a supreme emotion of value.

And the people who are also the Southern Huns are just low-status, because they have to work the next day, and they have to fight for a bite of food for the family to survive, so they wrapped some rags and felt around their bodies early. , leaning against each other, falling asleep, not arguing or arguing, silent, like sleeping, and like dying, even if you think of something in your sleep, that is, what work will you do tomorrow, do you have an extra bowl The meal can be full.

  The men and horses responsible for patrolling the night watch in the royal court were also tired, and most of them found a shelter from the wind to hide and be lazy. The few who were restless and didn't have the heart to patrol, gathered together and muttered.

   After a while, there was the sound of knocking on the third watch in the Wangting.

   Knocking to tell the time is learned from the Han people.

  Don't worry about what you say, everyone likes things that are convenient. What kind of time concept did the Huns have in the earliest days? They slept when it was dark, woke up at dawn, and beat their children to play when it was cloudy. After getting in touch with the Han people, they gradually got some Han habits, and then they knew what a sundial is. What is a leak...

  The sound of ringing the third watch can be heard far away in the night.

   Those who were drinking and arguing continued to argue as if they didn't hear them at all, and they didn't have to work the next day anyway.

  As for the inferior people who were sleeping curled up in a remote place, some of them were awakened by the sound of the watch, but most of them rubbed their eyes, moved their cold bodies, and fell asleep again in numbness.

   After a while, in the royal court, in the group, suddenly there were several places where there were huge whistling sounds at the same time!

  In the middle of the night, the surrounding fields were silent, and suddenly there was a loud noise, which almost shot straight into the sky!

No one can hear these shouts clearly, what are they shouting, like the roar of wild beasts in the dark night, or howling like evil spirits crawling out of the area, or simply for the current The desperate and frenzied cry of the chaotic and disorderly situation!

  The light of the fire rose immediately, illuminating the surrounding fields brightly.

  The half-dream and half-awake Southern Huns were awakened, leaned close to each other in fear, and stared blankly at everything in front of them. Before they could fully understand what was going on, they saw groups of frantic crowds rushing out of the room and through the simple fence, waving weapons in their hands!

  This group of people even felt that the gate of the fence was too small, and they couldn't wait to rush out through the gate, so they directly pushed down the unstable fence, and it flowed out like water splashed on the ground. The people who came out, with red eyes and distorted faces, waved their weapons at the awakened compatriots and slashed down!

"kill! Kill the traitor! 』

  『The traitor who killed the Shiwei people! 』

  『The lackey who killed the Han people! 』

"kill! kill! kill! 』

  The torches were thrown everywhere, many places were set on fire, and many ordinary Southern Huns were also set alight, screaming and running around.

  Blood light kept bursting out all around, and many Southern Huns who had no time to escape were hacked and killed. When they died, some people even didn't know what it was for and what happened!

The frenzy spread rapidly, and the royal court became chaotic in a blink of an eye. The women, children, old and weak were crying loudly. They worked every day, from morning to night, without knowing the political changes at the top, or understanding the situation. To what extent has it developed, but they were the first to die in the first wave of turmoil.

  Continuous death, closely chasing after these women, children, old and weak, as if the **** of death was driving them, making them run, scream, and then bring chaos to more places. People crowded each other, some fell down by themselves, some were pushed down, some struggled to get up, and some were directly trampled under their feet.

  Yesterday they still called each other brothers, but tonight they have become traitors and running dogs. Everyone wants to escape the madness behind this, but the more they flee, the more unscrupulous these madnesses become.

  The crowds were no longer driven away, but spontaneously crashed into other houses, camps and tents. It seemed that only places with a lot of people could bring them a sense of security, but such behaviors led to more chaos. Some Southern Huns were overwhelmed by the rolling turbulence before they could fully react. These frenzied crowds had forgotten what they were escaping from. In addition, some people mixed in the crowd to kill and set fire, making them trample on each other. Cannibalism became more and more serious.

Those bosses who drink wine and eat meat on weekdays, and their stomachs are full of fat, spit out the relationship between the Shiwei people and the Han people when they are not in trouble, and they can talk for three days and three days when pointing out the situation between the two sides. There is no repetition at night, but when they faced the chaotic situation and saw the blood and fire starting to spread, most of the leaders were just dragged by his guards, staggering to avoid the turbulent crowd, like a crowd. The fat quails were stripped of their feathers, only their hands and feet were weak and shivering.

  …(*Д*)…

  In the royal court of the Southern Huns, Badu, who was in command of the third prince's guard, heard these movements outside the royal court immediately.

  Ba Du is not very good at talking, and he doesn't know how to deal with others. As a faction of the third prince, he believed in the third prince wholeheartedly before, and he would do whatever the third prince asked him to do. Now that the third prince took over the position of the old Wang, he still listened to the third prince, but changed his title to Dawang.

On the whole, Badu is probably a guy with a slightly flawed character, basically a single-minded person, but he is loyal, no matter what the third prince asks him to do, even if it is a trivial matter, he will do it. Do it meticulously and do it well.

  So, the third prince was relieved to hand over the guards inside the royal court to him.

After Badu heard the movement, he got up with a grunt, grabbed his saber and rushed out of the tent, stared at the flames outside the royal court, shouted loudly to get all the guards inside the royal court to get up , Arrange weapons and line up, arrange refusal horses, and garrison the main roads.

  The sound of shouting and wailing outside was heard like a shocking sound, and the flames rose higher and higher, illuminating everything inside the royal court brightly.

Some Southern Huns who ran first, when they saw Badu and the others, they ran happily. They originally wanted to hide behind Badu and the others and get protection, but what they did not expect was a cold order: " stop! Do not come near! Those who collide with the king's tent, kill! 』

  Dozens of spears were erected, and the icy cold light shone on the spear tips.

  Who can ensure that there are no spies among these people?

  Part of the Southern Huns stopped, but there were still some Southern Huns who didn't know whether they were emotional or pushed by the people behind, couldn't hold back, and bumped into the spear line!

  Screams sounded one after another, and the spear pierced his compatriots.

   There are men, there are women, there are old people, and there are children.

   Bloody, hanging on a spear...

  『My lord! ’ The team leader yelled at Badu, ‘They, they don’t have weapons! Why not let them in? ! 』

  Generally speaking, the thinking of ordinary people is always complicated and chaotic, but there are two kinds of people whose thinking is always clear. One type is very smart people, ordinary people think about things that take a long time to understand, they think of them in a circle, with clear thinking, clear interests, and smooth organization; while the other type of people is a single-minded person Yes, like a person like Badu, everything is set in advance, if you don't allow it, you don't allow it, you don't need to think about it, and you won't be flexible.

  『Anyone is not allowed to collide with the king's account! "Badu held his saber, "Anyone! Do you want to resist the order? ! 』

  『…』The team leader stared, gritted his teeth, and did not speak anymore.

"what happened? The third prince came out of the king's tent after receiving the alarm, and asked.

  Badu described the current situation.

  The third prince frowned, then climbed up to the guard tower on the side, looked into the distance, only saw the chaotic flames and the shadows swaying in the flames, and there were still continuous screams in his ears...

  『They are not coming for the inner court! The third prince quickly made a judgment, "Let the son outside come in, and find someone to ask about the situation!" 』

  The array of spears made a gap, allowing ordinary southern Huns to enter the inner court.

  『Look at the location...』 The third prince said to Badu, 『It seems to be heading towards the Huyan tribe...』

  『Huyan tribe? Badu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "Isn't this very good?" That old fellow Huyan supported the eldest prince before, haha, why don’t we just do it and clean up that old fellow together...』

  『…』 The third prince frowned, 『Is it someone you sent? No, it's not you..."

  Badu said: "It's not me, I don't know where these people come from..."

  『This is weird...』 The third prince stared at the chaotic situation in the distance, and suddenly his face turned pale, 『It’s broken...』

   Badu still didn't understand, "What's broken? Isn't this a good thing? 』

  『This is not a good thing...』 The third prince sighed deeply, 『Now, we can only fight...Badu, let's pass on the order...」The matter is imminent, the arrow is on the string, and the current situation has to be fought...

  Eight people didn't know what to do, but they still walked down the sentry tower excitedly. Only the third prince was left looking at the flames and shadows in the distance, with an indescribable expression on his face.

  Under the sentry tower, there is chaos.

   Above the sentry tower is Dugu.

   It's like two worlds.
