Chapter 13: Stream of Consciousness

The surging Huai River, churning over the surging waves, the river water is like a frightened beast, constantly roaring and running downstream, countless trees, and even mountains and rocks are all under the pressure of the powerful kinetic energy of the river water and continue to drift with the waves, but this qiē has nothing to do with Li Kuan and them, because the huge stone sculpture in front of them covers this piece of river embankment tightly behind them, and there is no possibility of breaking the embankment again.

"We are alive ......" Xue Wanche muttered, he was ready to give his life here, but he didn't expect it to be like this, he regretted that he didn't settle Xiao Di Renjie properly before this expedition, hoping that his eldest brother could raise him, but now he actually escaped death.

"Hooray!" Liu Wei looked at the lifelike dragon head statue in front of him, and couldn't help but glance at the young man who was standing at the front of the team at this time, why did this thing that represented extraordinary significance appear here so strangely, and after this young man made a generous speech. He couldn't believe it in his heart, and even he boldly guessed that this was man-made, but the stone carving more than ten zhang long and five or six zhang high couldn't be hidden, but this was really a hint from God? For the first time in his heart, Liu Wei really began to think about Li Kuan, in the past, the first person in his heart must have been Li Er, and even when he followed Li Kuan on the grassland and killed all the way on the plateau, he never wavered.

But now he can't help but be unshaken, this hideous angry dragon head pierced deep into his heart, and even he stared at the blood-red dragon eyes for a long time, as if he saw the endless flood falling into the sky and the people displaced. The people of the Tang Dynasty who lost their loved ones were heartbroken and wept silently on the roof of the crumbling houses washed away by the flood. Such a scene came to his mind. Let him feel endless sadness in his heart, why is God so ruthless? Whose fault is this qiē? Is it the Holy One today? Wrong. Today's saints are all unparalleled in the world, and they have the courage to swallow the wilderness.

But if it weren't for the king's immorality, then why did such a disaster befall? Liu Wei had endless doubts in his heart, for the people of this era, these natural disasters were too difficult for them to understand, so the corresponding associations were too rich, if Li Kuan told them about atmospheric circulation, what water vapor evaporation and other things, they would probably scoff at it. Even think of him as a madman.

I don't know who said that if you are half a step ahead of others, then you are a genius, but if you are one step ahead, then you will only be a madman, this is true in any time and space, and the successors of Muhammad in Europe at this time are holding their Qur'an in one hand and a sword in the other, and they are beginning to spread their ideas bloodily. And those who believe in God see them as heretics. Both sides are torn over whose god is the real god. As for Nicolaus Copernicus, who proposed heliocentrism and ousted the gods from the altar, it is not known whether the ancestors of his ancestors changed their surname to Copernicus. So this is an era full of feudal superstitions, and all the incomprehensible things are controlled by the gods.

From the difference between the gods of the East and the West, it can be seen that in fact, the Oriental people are relatively modest in character. Because in the East, there is a huge mythological system, and there are countless natural phenomena in nature that are controlled by countless gods, whether it is a wind or a rain, there are different gods who cooperate with each other. Those people in the West only have their own brains to come up with God as one person who knows and omnipotence. Even in order to satisfy his own special habits, Adam and Eve came out early. And when the two little guys he created to satisfy his perverted desires broke the membrane between each other, he kicked the two out of the Garden of Eden without any regret.

Of course, it's a bit far, but the Easterners are indeed much more subtle than the Westerners, but the genes of the white Westerners are incomparably strong and aggressive. But at this time, this small country is respectful to the Tang Dynasty. Only those in the regions close to Western Asia, those in these regions could border Great Qin at this time, and Persia and other places, and have intermarriage with each other.

This special situation gave birth to the Turkic, Zhaowu Jiu, Xue Yantuo, Uighurs and other nomadic peoples, these peoples have a strong aggressiveness, constantly harassing the Tang Dynasty's Western Regions, and even under the risk factor in their bones, they will even ignore the impact of the Tang Dynasty's border towns. This is also the reason why outside the Hexi Corridor, there are countless Xiongguan, because these unremembered alien races will constantly lead their tribes to attack these cities, even at the cost of burning jade. The most ridiculous thing is that these arrogant guys will laugh at the Tang Border Army proudly, two years ago, Li Kuan had heard about an incident, and he almost lost his big teeth with laughter.

At that time, Cheng Chumo, who had gone to the border with his father, was laughed at by everyone when he came back, because the sun and rain during this time made him completely black like Kunlun slave. Therefore, this big group of idle eggs in Chang'an City would not let go of this joke. At that time, in order to regain this disadvantage, Cheng Chumo told what he had seen along the way, and he had an extremely strong attraction to these noble children who had never been out of Chang'an, so no one was laughing at the guy who was as black as a block of carbon and could be completely invisible when he closed his eyes at dusk. The cause and effect of this incident are as follows: At that time, Cheng Chumo followed his father Cheng Jinxi out of Yumen Pass and entered the vast Gobi, which is a desert that separates the Tang Dynasty from the Western Regions.

In this desert, there were originally some small countries, such as Loulan, Qiuci and other countries, but with the change of time, this place gradually became barren, the rivers dried up, and the vegetation was scarce, becoming unsuitable for human existence. So these small countries have disappeared in the long river of history, some say that they magically disappeared overnight, and some say that they migrated away, integrated into other peoples and then continued. In short, these small countries are very small.

But such a small country is still aggressive, and during Cheng Chumo's cruise, he met a general from a small country surnamed Zhaowujiu. The general, with three hundred warriors behind him, tried to attack the Tang Dynasty. even took people to a majestic city in the border pass of the Tang Dynasty - Jiayuguan. This city is not unfamiliar in the memory of the Chinese nation, because it is the western terminus of the Great Wall. Such a city defender has a full 3,000 people, and coupled with the high walls of the city, the attack of an army of 10,000 people may not be able to capture it. However, the general of this small country hurried with a letter of 300 people, and scolded loudly outside the city, asking the Tang defenders to sacrifice the city, otherwise the warriors behind him would use their bravery to conquer the city, and then wash the whole city in blood.

Such a joke is just a joke in the ears of other people, and if there are less than 10,000 troops in the country every time it raises troops to fight, how can it feel any alarm because of the threat of 300 people? They were all watching the clowns put on a show. Li Kuan also thought the same way at that time, but after laughing for a while, he felt a sadness in his heart.

Because after a thousand years, wasn't this land at that time also ravaged by those small countries? At that time, a large country with 40,000 compatriots was under the guns of those small countries with a total population of less than a quarter of itself, and it was like a girl who had been stripped naked. How can such a lesson not be said to be a disgrace?

Thinking that the ancestors of those invaders in this era were nothing more than a bunch of barbarians who could conquer a country with a few hundred people, or the country mud legs who were poking each other around with spears made of crisp wooden zuò, Li Kuan felt as if he should do something, and even change that large area of rich land for another owner.

These were all things that Li Kuan thought of afterwards, and when he thought of these things, his body trembled with excitement, and even for several days, it was like being beaten with chicken blood. But then he felt that such a pace was too big, because that would only make his eggs hurt, and could not bring actual benefits, in this era, no one will follow you if there is no benefit, not that no one will become his diehard, willing to follow all the way, if there is no benefit, those people will only stab you in the back, for you to 'two ribs' knife. And even if you say your plans, will those guys who are blinded by the flowery world of the Tang Dynasty believe it? They will only see themselves training the army, recruiting troops, and they will be secretly on guard, and they will even insist on 'strike first, then suffer!'" 'The idea of constantly releasing cold arrows in the dark.

Therefore, Li Kuan had to put this tempting idea aside, and first let himself establish a solid foundation in the Tang Dynasty, so that he could completely realize his idea when no one dared to play tricks behind his back.

It is precisely because of these that Li Kuan is constantly formulating his own action steps, pushing step by step in the direction he wants, constantly consolidating his position, and after making himself invincible, he is thinking about how to take the land of which white-skinned pigs as his own, not only the land, but also their people.
