21, witches and divination

Niu Fu spewed the smell of wine in his mouth, the steps on his feet staggered, and when he staggered to the front of the wooden frame, he couldn't stop the momentum on his body, and he actually hit the wooden frame, and the wooden frame fell down with Niu Fu's thick body, and the sword on the frame fell to the ground with a clatter.

Niu Fu, who fell to the ground, fell not lightly, but it also made him feel a little sober, he stretched out his hands to take the sword that fell on the ground a little sluggishly, and hooked his fingers several times before hooking the sword not far away.

As soon as the sword was in his hands, Niu Fu didn't care about anything else, he reluctantly sat up again, took off the sword directly from the sheath, and pulled the sharp blade out of the scabbard with a stab, he looked at the sword blade with a clear light, and laughed.

In the hall for a while, there was a loud sound of falling to the ground, and a moment of laughter, although the guards outside the hall Niu Fu were frightened, but they still climbed the stairs and came to the entrance of the lobby, and saw Niu Fu drunk and drew his sword, looking at the sword and laughing strangely inexplicably, they all looked at each other, hesitated in their hearts, and did not know whether to step forward to dissuade them at this moment.

The personal guard at the head is a Hu man of Yueshi Hu, whose name is Chi'er. After the Yueshi people were defeated and expelled by the Xiongnu at the beginning of the former Han Dynasty, some of them migrated to the west, and some of them entered the Hehuang Valley and mixed with the local Qiang people, and derived a Yueshi Hu, also known as the Yueshi Hu, a Zahu tribe.

The land of Liangzhou is mixed with Qiang and Hu, not only the Qiang and Han have repeatedly broken out into wars, but also between the Qiang tribes, and between the Qiang and Hu people, and often because of many things such as water and grass, livestock, and even large-scale battles. As a Zahu tribe, Yueshi Hu has also repeatedly formed gaps with the Qiang tribe, which is why the Han people need to win over these Zahu tribes.

Since the beginning of this dynasty, Deng Xun, the captain of the Qiang Guard, has relied on the strength of this Hu cavalry to pacify and exterminate the rebellious Qiang tribe. And the generals under Dong Zhuo are almost all from the border areas of Liangzhou, Hu and Han live together, and they do not have a deep prejudice against these people of different races like some scholars and doctors in the Central Plains.

This Yueshi Hu people named Chi'er are not only brave in battle, but also good at catering to Niu Fu's wishes, so he was regarded as a cronie by Niu Fu and placed by his side as a personal guard.

Hu Chi'er saw that Niu Fu was upset and drunk, and he knew that at this time, if he was dissuaded by a rude soldier like himself, maybe Niu Fu, who was depressed in his heart, would assassinate a few guards in a fit of anger.

He has a bright mind, and he is reluctant to touch Niu Fu's moldy head at this time, but it is not a good thing to let the master get drunk and make a sword there, in case Niu Fu accidentally hurts himself, the blame will eventually fall on the heads of his own guards.

He turned to one of his guards and said:

"Go, go and find the master, at this time, only he can advise the general!"

After listening to Hu Chi'er's words, the guard nodded, quickly spread his legs, and ran out. Hu Chi'er and the other guards looked at Niu Fu, who was still sitting in the hall holding a sword and laughing madly, their brows were furrowed, but they didn't dare to make a move, which alarmed Niu Fu, who was still drunk, and could only gather outside the hall and look at Niu Fu in the hall nervously.

After a while, the guard who went out brought an old witch in a witch robe, this witch and her charming-looking female apprentices were Niu Fu's favored masters in the army, plus the people of Liangzhou believed in divination, so even if they were marching to fight the thieves, Niu Fu still carried them in a wagon and took them with him, so that he could ask them for fortune at any time.

Of course, there are also rumors among the soldiers in the army that the reason why Niu Fu always has to take this old witch and her female disciples with the army is not to use the good fortune of the soldiers, but to use this as an excuse to keep those charming female disciples by his side, and use them for fun in his leisure time in the army.

As Niu Fu's personal guard, Hu Chi'er naturally knows the inside story of these things, and the reason why he was introduced by Niu Fu as a confidant is also because he has the consciousness of keeping his mouth shut.

At the moment, only an old witch who was a master came, and she was not followed by those female apprentices who looked seductive and sultry, but often covered their faces with veils and did not show their true faces.

The old witch was also shocked when she saw Niu Fu drunk and playing with the sword in the hall, but she also had a black veil on her face, and it was not easy for Niu Fu's guards to see the discolored expression on her face. She quickly calmed down, dispersed the guards guarding the entrance to the lobby, and entered the hall alone.

"General, General Niu!"

The old witch tiptoed up to Niu Fu, watching the crazy laughing Niu Fu grably comparing the sword in his hand, ignoring herself who came to him, the old witch was a little anxious, and couldn't help but shout to Niu Fu.

"Who, who's calling me, what's wrong, what's going on, could it be that the city is broken?"

Niu Fu was drunk, the bun on his head had been scattered, and he couldn't see who was coming at all, but he heard someone calling him urgently, and a trace of clarity flashed through his mind, and he quickly thought of the siege of the White Wave Thief.

"Hurry up, help me up, I am a Han general, there are 100,000 soldiers and horses in Luoyang, how can I easily bow down to these thieves and beg for mercy, help me up, I can still fight, I want to fight them to the death!"

The old witch saw Niu Fu's dejected and chaotic appearance, where was there still a majestic image in front of the soldiers, she sighed, lowered her body a little helplessly, and struggled to help Niu Fu who fell drunk to the ground.

Finally, with the help of the old witch, Niu Suke, who stood up again, parted the hair in front of him, and finally saw the wrinkles of the old witch clearly. The dry and wrinkled face of the ravines, and the pupils with a strange color.

"It's-you!"

Niu Fu pushed the old witch away, although the tongue was knotted, and it was difficult to pronounce the voice, but after all, he still said two words, but the old witch's brows were still wrinkled, in the past, Niu Fu saw her, and always had to be honored "Guru Yunyun", but now he suddenly changed his title, and the tone between the words was not good, and he couldn't help but make the old witch have an ominous premonition in her heart.

However, Niu Fu was in a drunken state at the moment, and it didn't seem like he was doing it on purpose, and the old witch thought about this clearly, and approached Niu Fu again, trying to speak to him in a gentle tone.

"You, go away, I just listened to you, you, your words, and led the troops to fight the Baibo Valley, and now that Naigong has lost the battle, and even the city has been besieged, you say, what should I do?"

At that time, when Niu Fu marched to attack the White Wave Valley, although he won many battles, the White Wave Thieves were about to collapse, but after all, there were a large number of thieves and their own troops were insufficient, Niu Fu had followed Dong Zhuo for many years, and he had seen a lot of dangers in the battle array, and he also knew that in the case of fewer enemies and more enemies, what would be the fate of this light army, if it was not for breaking through the White Wave Army in one go, leveling the thieves, and making great achievements, it would be defeated by a large number of White Wave Thieves and suffer a big defeat.

Therefore, Niu Fu, who was suspicious, asked the old witch to give him a fortune to see how the victory or defeat of this march to attack the White Wave Valley was.

So the old witch divined for him, exerted her magical powers, first divination and then divination, first with yarrow, and the result was that the number of yarrow two times got the auspicious number, and then when the divination was used, it also got the auspicious hexagram.

Since the divination twice and three times expressed that this march would inevitably be victorious, Niu Fu listened to the words of the old witch, and no longer hesitated in his heart, and made up his mind to march into the Baibo Valley.

After Niu Fu fled back to Linfen City, he also asked the old witch in person, wanting to ask her if there was a problem in the divination process, which led to his defeat. As a result, the old witch insisted that she had not made a mistake in divination, that the providence was so mysterious and unpredictable, that she only had to serve God sincerely, and soon there would be a day of fulfillment of victory.

Niu Fu was also a lot at ease for this, and specially rewarded the old witch with a lot of money, so that she could concentrate on serving the gods, so that the gods could feel their sincerity, and spread the news in the city, so as to strengthen the heart of his soldiers to defend the city.

It's a pity that the so-called old witch took the goods and worshiped the gods, but it didn't get any effect conducive to the war, the thieves outside Linfen City became more and more tightly surrounded, and the thieves outside the city also faintly had the intention of leading Fenshui to attack the city, Niu Fu was anxious, but he was trapped in a lonely city, and he had nothing to do, so he could only borrow wine to kill his sorrows.

And he also had deep suspicions in his heart about the old witch and her female disciples who had always been favored, so today Niu Fu was drunk, and he was not afraid of the words and deeds of the gods and gods on weekdays, so he directly questioned the old witch.

When the old witch heard Niu Fu coldly ask, she couldn't help but secretly cry in her heart, how did she know that the stout general in front of her was so incompetent, and he was able to defeat a group of unknown grass robbers, and he was surrounded. If she could have known this in advance, where would she dare to instigate Niu Fu to enter the White Wave Valley.

It's just that the current situation is becoming more and more unfavorable, and if you want to save your life, you still have to bite the divination to death, otherwise it is difficult for the old witch to imagine how she will be tortured to death by these angry soldiers.

Looking at Niu Fu, who was no longer respectful on weekdays, with the strength of wine, the old witch girl was afraid that he would talk nonsense again, or get angry, and do something unfavorable to herself, she simply stretched out her wrinkled hands and claws, grabbed the wine urn on the ground that still had some cold wine left, and recited words in her mouth, and then suddenly her tongue burst into thunder and let out a loud shout.

"Demon, don't retreat quickly!"

With this scream, the remnants of the wine urn in the old witch's hand splashed on Niu Fu's face.
