Three Kingdoms

"So I hear..."

On the altar, Bosi Luo put his hands together and recited scriptures.

Around Bosiluo, there were ascetics like him, and there were also people who didn't know what they were chanting.

No one does the decapitation business, but some people do the profitable decapitation business.

It's good, let alone fake monks, even if it's fake, there are still people who do it.

But Bhasra was a real ascetic. Just as there must be darkness where there is light, it is darkness that may bring out the value of light.

When he first heard that Lu Bu, the Great Protector of the Western Regions, was going to hold the Bon Bon Dharma Ceremony, Bosiluo was very happy.

As Bosi Luo, who came to the Western Regions to spread Buddhism in the early years, the Han people were somewhat unfamiliar to him. These Han people suddenly rose up and replaced Kushan as the new force controlling the Western Regions.

In Bosiluo's view, these Han people are actually no different from the Kushan people. They are the same nouveau riche. They pursue luxury and splendor in everything. So when Bosiluo learned that it was Lu Bu, the Han's Protector of the Western Regions, When the ceremony was about to be held, he came happily. He believes that only by changing the minds of the leaders in this area can peace be restored to this land full of killing and destruction, yellow sand and blood.

Bosiluo had met Kushan people and Parthian people, and he had also met many other Semu people. He felt that the language barrier was not a big problem, because after getting along for a long time, they would naturally understand each other, so it was difficult to The difficulty lies in how to get along with each other. He came to the Western Region to help farmers work, drive carts, and do all the good deeds he could. On the one hand, it was for spiritual practice, and on the other hand, he also hoped that through his small kindness, he could expand into greater love.

When he met Lu Bu for the first time, Bosi Luo felt the pressure brought by Lu Bu's height that was higher than that of an ordinary person. Under the shining armor, it looked like a moving beast. Only then did Bosiluo realize that the many rumors about Lu Bu's evil reputation among the people in the Western Regions were not groundless.

At that time, Bosiluo was scared, but also happy, because he felt that he finally had the opportunity to preach Buddhism to Lu Bu, so that Lu Bu could be inspired by Buddhism, escape from the Asura path, and save the suffering of thousands of people in the Western Regions.

Therefore, no matter how unreasonable or inappropriate the process of the ceremony made by Wei Xu was, Bosi Luo did not care too much. On the one hand, his Chinese was not very good, and on the other hand, he felt that This is just the beginning. There is no need to be too demanding. Buddhism is more important than the external form.

But what Bosiluo didn't expect was that this was indeed the beginning and the end.

A strong wind blew over the altar.

Flags and flames are fluttering and making hunting noises.

Originally thought it was a perfect and grand day, because the Great Protector of the Western Regions took off his armor and put on ordinary clothes. Bosi Luo thought this was the best start, but when the soldiers rushed to the altar, Everything has changed.

Bosiluo was being escorted and walking forward, he was at a loss.

What happened?

The soldiers arrested these monks and beat and kicked them.

The originally rich and colorful robe was taken off, revealing the body inside, just like the Buddha statue suddenly lost its luster, revealing the clay and straw inside.

Dazed and helpless, Bosi Luo was driven and beaten from the top of the altar to the bottom of the altar, just like going from the bliss of the west to the extreme pain of the east. It seemed that a soldier was hitting him with a scabbard or a gun barrel, but he didn't seem to feel any sound or much pain because he was numb. The sudden change caused his brain to almost shut down. Unable to accept everything in the outside world, he wondered if he was still dreaming, and then he could blink and wake up again.

Blinking was useless. As the Han soldiers shouted orders, Bosi Luo's vision shook for a moment, and then he lowered his head. The earth came towards him and hit his nose and cheek. The pain finally entered his brain along the nerves. Dealing with the stack made him realize that this was not a dream, and then he heard the noise around him, the buzzing making his eardrums ring!

The Han Protector waved his hands, clenched his fists, his anger was as strong as real, and his voice was as loud as thunder, "Brothers of the Han Dynasty, do you know what these people in front of you are?" ! 』

"They are Kushan spies!" 』

"They deceived us. They told us they wanted peace, but at the same time they were waging war against us! 』

"They joined forces with horse thieves to plunder everywhere, destroy military camps and massacre people!" 』

“Then they actually said that this is spiritual practice and this is merit! 』

"This is bullshit practice!" 』

"The merits of farts!" 』

Amidst the roar, the Han guard angrily pulled out the sword from the waist of the guard on the side, walked up to a kneeling monk, and then slashed him with his sword!

The bright red color dyed the sky red.

Blood and fire rise!

"..." Bosiluo opened his mouth and shouted something, but not only could he not be able to hear what he was shouting, but the people around him could not hear either.

Because there was a commotion all around, there seemed to be countless people shouting.

Bosi Luo looked around. He subconsciously wanted to find someone to prove that he was not a spy. But the crowd was shaking, the flames were rising, and the blood was smeared. He couldn't find it and couldn't see clearly.

Someone took advantage of the gap and rushed to Lu Bu, seeming to be crying for something or begging for mercy. However, unexpectedly, the man's crying and begging for mercy made Lu Bu even more angry. He roared and chopped the man to death with a knife!

"How dare you bully someone!" 』

"Pretend to be a monk!" Someone knows! These monks are fake! Fake! 』

"They are not monks, they are Kushan dogs!" It's a dog! 』

"Kill them!" Kill them all! 』

The bloody sword was raised.

People around him fell down one by one.

"Since they are dogs, since they have reminded us, since they really want war, then let's fight in an upright manner!" Today, let these spies and traitors from Kushan go out to sacrifice the flag for us! 』

"No, no war!" Bosiluo burst out with amazing strength. He struggled, and the soldiers behind him couldn't hold it for a while, so that he could rush to Lu Bu, "No war!" war……"

But before Bosi Luo could finish speaking, Lu Bu directly grabbed his head with one hand, smashed him to the ground, and then kicked him back with a flying kick, rushing towards him. The soldier cursed angrily, "Trash!" I can't even hold him! If you can't hold it anymore, go to sacrifice the flag with these guys! 』

The soldier responded loudly, then raised the scabbard fiercely and hit Bosi Luo on the back of the head.

Blood spurted out, and before falling into the boundless darkness, Bosi Luo only heard the sound of his own skull breaking, and the roar like a ferocious beast, "The great man is victorious!" ! 』

"We're going to war!" ! 』

"Wan Sheng!" 』

"Go to war!" ! 』

……━((*′д｀)yao(′д｀*))━!!!!……

Countless people were swaying and dispersed in panic.

War, war!

The war is about to begin again!

The people of Xihai who came happily to participate in some Dharma ceremony are now running home in panic.

I don’t know if the rice at home is enough, I don’t know if Zhuang He in the field will still plant, and I don’t know if the cattle and sheep outside will be killed. I don’t know if I can survive tomorrow...

Amid the loud cheers of the soldiers, the people of Xihai City panicked and left one after another. Fortunately, this was the outskirts of the city and was relatively open, so there was no stampede.

In the hearts of these people in the West Sea, there is no "shared hatred" as Lu Bu expected.

These are people who migrated from Heluo, Longyou, Jingzhou, Shandong, and some places where wars have occurred before. They have no joy in war, only disgust.

Perhaps only those who have never experienced war and those who can benefit from war are full of expectations for war, but most people who have experienced or been traumatized by war are Lu Bu hated war, even though Lu Bu claimed that he wanted to eliminate spies, protect his family and country, and stabilize the place.

Among the flustered crowds, some thin and childish voices sounded.

"Mom, why do we have to go home?" Didn’t it say you can eat meat? 』

"Fuck you!" No meat to eat! Didn’t you listen to what the officials said, there’s going to be a war! 』

『o(╥﹏╥)owu... Isn't it good to eat meat? I want to eat meat. 』

"Good boy, go home and eat steamed buns." 』

"Mom, can I eat white steamed buns..."

"no! 』

"Why? I remember I could eat white steamed buns before... We haven't had white steamed buns for a long time..."

"Hey, white steamed buns are expensive. They used to cost two white steamed buns, but now they cost two coins each!" Your parents only earn so much money, they can’t afford it anymore..."

"why? Why are white steamed buns so expensive? 』

"That's not going to be a war!" The official said there was going to be a war! 』

"Then...why does that high official want to fight?" 』

"He, he said, those people are spies... they are bad people, they want to cause destruction, they want to harm us..."

"But, but... But if they didn't come, wouldn't we also be unable to eat the white steamed buns?" 』

"That's a bad person. Do the bad people know?" Good guys fight bad guys. We are good people. 』

"Good people...good people don't have a lot of money..."

"Why do you remember white steamed buns?" ! 』

"But I recognize that there is an uncle among the people who were arrested. He is a good person. Last time he..."

"Shhh!" Shut up! If the official says that uncle is a bad person, then he is a bad person! Otherwise we will be out of luck! We become the bad guys! understand? 』

The childish voice paused for a long time, and then answered in a low voice, "Oh..."

……(～￣(OO)￣)ブ……

In the palace of the Protector General, there was a lot of excitement.

"What? Daduhu is going on an expedition? 』

"nonsense! Didn't you see that I'm busy? Hurry, come and help! 』

Most of the petty officials in the Protector's Office were so busy that their heels hit the back of their heads.

Going on an expedition is more than just saying two words.

The Protector gave the order, and all the officials were in a hurry.

How about saying that the leader farts and the subordinates run away and break their legs?

If you want to go to war, no matter how urgent it is, you must prepare some food and grass. Otherwise, it is not called a war. Without food and grass, it is called a death squad. You can go out, but whether you can come back is another matter. One or two times, or a small-scale expedition is fine, but a large-scale expedition will require all three armies to act as death squads...

At least Lu Bu didn't have this kind of commanding power. Even if he is among the Han army, he will not be able to use it among the Hu vassal soldiers.

Most of the guardians are in a hurry, so many things must be urgent.

When you get anxious, various problems will inevitably arise.

Things that could be done slowly in the past suddenly cannot be done slowly anymore.

To put it simply, the accounts do not match the physical objects.

Looking at some even empty warehouses, looking at the shivering clerks in charge of warehouses, and those responsible for preparing logistics materials, they just felt that their hearts were full of congestion, and they wanted to spit out a mouthful of blood, but they couldn't, because they were also stealing supplies. One of them was the one who laughed out loud when he received the filial piety money. He also thought that selling some extra supplies was no big deal...

Who could have imagined that something like this would happen? !

Who would have thought that Lu Bu, a big boss, would fight whenever he said he wanted to?

Can you stop being so willful?

But when Lu Bu was angry, no one dared to fart even more. They even had to tuck their tails and place them carefully between their buttocks.

We can only think of ways, various ways.

In order to make up for various empty accounts, they had to take out specific items and transfer them to the military camps and campuses, and distribute them to the soldiers who were preparing to go on expeditions. These civil servants were almost crazy because of their busy schedule.

Fire dragon burning the warehouse? Yin soldiers borrow food?

Now we are not checking accounts, we are going to war!

The audit only deals with one or two people, and the time is not one or two days, and now Lu Bu is going on an expedition. If there is a slight delay, he doesn't mind staining the dark red battle flag with more blood!

Fortunately, these civil servants were usually demolishing the east wall to repair the west wall, and they immediately had a lot of temporary remedies. Anyway, they had to prepare the first wave of supplies so that Lu Bu could start the project smoothly, and the rest of the things would slowly follow. Just go and move.

"All supplies that were originally scheduled to be sent to merchants have been postponed! 』

"Cut off the road!" Closed access! All caravans are prohibited from passing, and all their supplies must be purchased! 』

"Now, no matter whether it is the predecessor's shortfall or not, whoever has the shortfall in his account will make up for it!" Those who cannot make up for it will be removed from office on the spot! Search your home! No matter if you sell your son or daughter, you still have to make up the accounts for me! 』

"Hurry up! Tomorrow at 9 o'clock, the first batch of supplies must be delivered to the school grounds! Swords, guns, arrows, armor and food! Confirm the number again! 』

"If not, just prepare it!" Never mind how old the grain is! Now it’s just a matter of numbers! Do you understand the number? ! 』

Dozens of clerks were running back and forth, their crowns on their heads tilted, their robes loose, their faces stained with sweat, and their faces stained with mud and dirt.

Think about it, day after day, month after month, we have eaten so much empty money, of course it is impossible to make up for it all at once. The only thing we can do is to deal with the first wave first, and the rest is to wait for the rest to figure out a solution. In order to make up for the empty debt, officials even borrowed loan sharks at usury!

Officials who are usually aloof from above personally went to local businesses... er, large merchants, and nodded and bowed to express their financial difficulties and the need for support...

Of course, if the big merchants are not wise, these officials will immediately change their faces after leaving the house. They may turn around and accuse them of being collaborators, and then add a DEBUFF to the big merchants' entire family and take them away in a wave.

The civil servants who were running around were distressed to death, but for most of the soldiers in the military academy, they were very excited.

Finally a chance to make money!

As soon as the cannon fired, uh, as soon as the sword and gun flashed, there was a thousand taels of gold!

Those happy days when Lu Bu was conquering the Western Regions were sometimes repeated by some soldiers and soldiers in the military academy, like Mrs. Xianglin, who was mentioned again and again among the soldiers. In the process of conquering the Western Regions, the wealth accumulated by those tribes from the Western Regions who were on the wrong side for several generations or more than a dozen generations built up Xihai City and deeply left their memories in the memories of these soldiers. .

If you haven't seen them before, that's fine. After you have seen them, you know the benefits of money. These soldiers are like eating meat. How can they eat vegetarian food?

"That gold, that sparkling gold!" 』

"That silver is so bright! 』

“I was stupid at that time, I didn’t take more! How silly! Every time I think about it now, I feel so damn stupid! 』

"At that time, I actually listened to military orders and thought it was right to be a soldier without making money, and to make money without being a soldier. What was the result?" ! All this fucking money was taken away by those civil servants! Are you angry? 』

"Those civil servants are all liars!" They deceived us and didn’t get any money, but they ended up desperately trying to make money! 』

“Look at these days, those civil servants are making money everywhere! Even if I want to get a new fucking shirt, I have to give those guys money first! I changed it when it was worn out and couldn't wear it any more, yet I had to give them money first! Don’t even think about changing it if you don’t give me money! This shirt does not belong to them, but everything seems to have become their private property! If you want to get a replacement, you have to look at his mother's face! Who am I serving as a soldier for? Are you serving as soldiers for these damn weak civil servants? ! 』

"Damn it!" Look at my armor. These three armor pieces are missing. They have been missing for a year! I applied for it at the end of last year, but now, I’m still talking about the process and asked me to wait! I asked all the damn questions! You don’t need to go through any bullshit process when you give money, you can get it directly! 』

"Isn't it just about making money?" Who can’t do this damn thing? 』

"This time, no matter what, I have to get enough!" 』

“Think about it, isn’t being a soldier just to make money? Why can those civil servants think of various ways to make money, but we military soldiers can only live a miserable life? What a pity! Daduhu finally figured it out, it’s time to make money! 』

"Horse thief?" 』

"Horse thieves are nothing!" 』

"Making money is serious!" 』

"Among the countries in the Western Region, if they are said to be traitors, they are traitors, and if they are said to be spies, they are spies!" 』

"Those countries in the Western Regions, this time, if they don't have ten thousand taels, no, twenty thousand taels, no, one hundred thousand taels, don't even think about going back alive!" 』

"What a pity!" Our happy time is coming! Everyone, get your money bags ready! Follow Daduhu to make money, uh, go on an expedition! 』
