Chapter 19: The Nature of the Tiger and the Wolf
The clay pots were baked on the fires, the sizzling heat rose from the clay pots, and the smell of meat mixed with the fragrance of wild vegetables permeated the entire barracks, which was a big insect shot by Lu Bu in the evening, that is, a tiger. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Even for Lu Bu, who is not short of food, it has been almost two months since he escaped from Xiapi, and although he has not been short of food along the way, he has not eaten a few meals of real fresh meat.
Lu Bu cut off a piece of tiger meat that had been cooked, stuffed the tiger meat into his mouth, and chewed it heavily, although there was a lot of tiger meat, it was not enough for more than 500 people, and many soldiers who did not get the tiger meat could only watch Lu Bu and other generals feast there, gnawing on their dry cakes.
The reaction of his subordinates, Lu Bu naturally saw it in his eyes, but he didn't have too many scruples, and Zhang Liao and others chewed the food in their mouths, swallowed the wine they took from Shu County, and looked at the soldiers who secretly swallowed their saliva, Lu Bu suddenly grinned: "Want to eat?" ”
One of the subordinates did not speak, and they didn't feel like they lowered their heads when they were seen by Lu Bu.
"Just think about it, what is there to be afraid of, my soldiers under Lu Bu, don't be so cowardly!" Lu Bu raised his hand, Xiong Kuohai walked up with a clay pot in one hand, and put it on the ground, the fragrance of meat made many people's eyes red: "Although there is not much meat, we can't eat a tiger." ”
"Lord, I want to eat meat!" A veteran said boldly.
"Okay, yes, wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, dogs travel thousands of miles ****, I don't even dare to think about it, what else do you talk about killing the enemy? Just stop fighting, go home and pick up the baby. Lu Bu laughed.
"Lord, I want to eat meat too!" "I want it too!"
A group of people were aroused by Lu Bu and said one after another.
"If you want to eat meat, you can, show your skills!" Lu Bu said with a smile.
"Lord, how can you be considered capable?" Many soldiers became excited.
"We have five hundred soldiers, but the remaining broth, only enough for a hundred people to share a bowl, now I set a rule, who can stand here, bare hands, defeat five people in a row, who can get a bowl of broth, we are soldiers, in the world of soldiers, there is only one law, that is, the weak eat the strong, those who have the ability to eat meat, those who have no ability, don't blame me for not being kind, and don't complain about the sky, just complain that I have no ability, obediently gnaw on my own dry cakes." Lu Bu inserted the dagger back into the sheath and looked at the crowd: "Who will come first!" ”
"I'm coming!" Lu Bu's personal guard, Zhang Guang was the first to stand up, as Lu Bu's personal guard, followed Lu Bu to fight in the south and the north, in the army, under the generals, he was also a good hand, and he was the first to stand up at this moment, naturally he also wanted to show his bravery.
"As long as he is in this fight, then what identity is false, depending on the strength of the speak, who dares to challenge him? But hurry up, this broth won't taste good when it's cold. ”
"I'm coming!" In the army, a strong man stepped forward, handed the weapon to the person on the side, rubbed his palms, roared tiger, and pounced on Zhang Guang.
Looking at the two people scuffling together in the field, Chen Gong frowned, and looked at Lu Bu with some concern: "Lord, I have to hurry tomorrow, so the soldiers consume their physical strength so much, isn't it?" ”
"Then hurry up, we don't lack time now." Lu Bu took a sip of wine and said, he is now desperate and lonely, relying on these soldiers under his command, now he has no money and no power, if he keeps hurrying, after a long time, people's hearts will slowly disperse, and he must continue to find ways to stimulate the fighting spirit of these soldiers, cultivate the sense of competition in the bones of these people, and in the future, they will have their own territory, and this consciousness will gradually spread to the whole army.
Only with this consciousness in the heart, coupled with constant fighting, can cultivate the tiger and wolf nature of these people, if you want to cultivate the tiger and wolf teacher, you must first cultivate their tiger and wolf nature, before running around, there is no time, in that urgent environment, these people will not give birth to any other thoughts, but recently this time has been a little comfortable, under the sufficient food supply, if people live too comfortably, they will slowly give birth to some unnecessary thoughts.
At the beginning, these people were willing to follow Lu Bu out in a desperate situation, naturally they were loyal to Lu Bu, but people will change, people's hearts are sometimes very complicated, at that time, with a lot of blood, they followed themselves out, but after walking for so long, when those blood gradually cooled, reason often analyzed many unfavorable things, what Lu Bu has to do now is to consume their physical strength fiercely, so that they don't have time to think about those messy things,
Now Lu Bu can't give them much to maintain this loyalty, and he can only use these means to maintain their passion on the one hand, and on the other hand, to constantly ensure their loyalty.
"After the mountain in front, it is the boundary of Nanyang, according to our current marching speed, even if we hurry slowly, it will not take five days to get out of the mountain, but I don't know if the embroidery is willing to let go." Chen Gong said with some concern.
Then he seemed to think of something, and looked at Lu Budao: "Count it, the former lord and that Zhang Ji also had a period of robes, is there a way to say that they will surrender to him?" ”
Lu Bu shook his head, looked at the stars in the sky, and a flash of remembrance flashed in his eyes: "Counting it, the Xiliang Army is divided, and I am also one of the leaders, it is impossible to use this to tell him." ”
"But it's not hopeless, Zhang Xiu's current situation is not good, sandwiched between Liu Biao and Cao Cao, unable to advance or retreat, and this person is not too ambitious, if it wasn't for Cao A's coveting the beauty of other people's aunts, now Nanyang is probably Cao Cao's, and Cao Cao's eldest son, the general Dian Wei, died in Wancheng, I think, that Zhang Xiu is also scruples about these, so he didn't dare to act rashly this year." Lu Bu found a dead branch, stirred the bonfire, frowned and thought.
"In that case, why don't you show Zhang Xiu that you are powerful and invite him to join him and conspire with him?" Chen Gong's eyes lit up, with Zhang Xiu's current situation, there was no way to survive at all, Liu Biao had the revenge of killing his uncle on his side, and he had killed Cao Cao's eldest son and general here.
"It's not that simple." Lu Bu shook his head: "Cao Cao is the hero of the world, if Zhang Xiu is really willing to vote for him, he will definitely not hesitate to smile at the enmity, plus Zhang Xiu's adviser Jia Xu, this person is not simple, Zhang Xiu is almost obedient to him, if you want to persuade Zhang Xiu, either find a way to solve him, or break up the relationship between the two." ”
"Jia Wenhe?" Chen Gong frowned, at the beginning, Jia Xu said that the Xiliang soldiers who should have been disbanded would counterattack Chang'an, and lose the last bit of prestige of the Han family.
"Well, an old fox." Lu Bu nodded.
"That'...... Does the lord have a plan? Chen Gong frowned.
"Let's take one step at a time, if we don't go to Nanyang, we can only go to Yingchuan, which is Cao Cao's territory, and there are various checkpoints along the way, even if we abandon the baggage, it is not easy to get through, so there is only this road to go, otherwise, we will be trapped here."
"Actually, Gong has always wanted to ask, why didn't the lord stay here? Runan was exploited by Yuanshu, and the family also withered, which is very suitable for our development. Chen Gong hesitated for a moment, but still asked the doubts in his heart.
"The general environment does not allow it, Cao Cao will not want to have a knife hanging behind his back when he fights with Yuan Shao, so if we take root here, Cao Cao will definitely do whatever it takes to eliminate us before we gain a firm foothold, even if we stand on our heels, look around, Cao Cao, Sun Ce and even Liu Biao, none of them can become allies, but they are surrounded by enemies, don't want to have a moment of peace, and no one will want to watch us grow stronger, just like on the chessboard, up and down, left and right, all of them are blocked by people, There is only so much space left for us to develop, there is not enough space for depth, and there is no stable rear, how can we talk about development? Lu Bu looked at the crowd that was still scuffling in the field, shook his head and smiled.
"The lord is far-sighted, and the palace can't do it." Chen Gong smiled.
"Why should the public platform be humble, without your assistance, I am alone, even if I go to Chang'an, what can I do, we are one after all." Lu Bu said with a smile.
"Lord, we won!" Zhang Guang brought a group of strong men with blue noses and swollen faces over and preached to Lu.
"Okay, one bowl of broth per person, go get it yourself." Lu Brown laughed, and then looked at them in surprise: "Why are these few?" What about the others? ”
Zhang Liao smiled bitterly: "Many brothers won two battles, but they were put down by the third, and in the end, only these people came out. ”
"Okay, you are the winners, you can eat the rest yourself, or give it to your brothers, decide for yourself, the public platform, and make a charter in the future, you can't let those who have the ability to bury it." Lu Bu looked at the group of stunned people in front of him and laughed, but he thought in his heart that when he had power in the future, he would make a military exercise or something, and carry forward this sense of competition.
"Don't worry, the palace already has a belly case." Chen Gong smiled.
"It's not early, after eating, go to rest, tomorrow you have to hurry, if it's a man, don't call it cowardice, if anyone can't keep up, we won't wait for him!" Lu Bu laughed.
"Don't worry, my lord."
