Chapter 141: The Warriors of the World (I)
However, even if he woke up, he was actually a little bent with Zhang Liao's own thinking now, and he couldn't completely turn around, so Lu Bu still needed to add another fire, so he said to Zhang Liao: "Does Wen Yuan know that after the battle with Tong Yuan, Bu had a not-so-in-depth conversation with Wang Yue?" ”
Without Zhang Liao's response, Lu Bu continued to himself: "After that conversation, I learned a lot of secrets about the rivers and lakes that I didn't know before, and there are even more things about the realm stage of martial artists and generals, which I think makes a lot of sense. ”
In fact, the so-called super-first-class, first-class and even second- and third-rate concepts are just the statements of modern people in later generations, which are quite far-fetched, and the division of the strength of military generals is still very vague in this era, just like Yuan Shao can call Yan Liang and Wen Chou unworldly fierce generals, and Yuan Shu can also boast that Ji Ling is invincible in the world, but these three people are put in front of Lu Bu, and they all become scum, but there are still many people who will believe that who is the more powerful one before they meet and fight, which mainly comes from the asymmetry of information.
It's like although Lu Bu is famous all over the world, and he unceremoniously says that no military general can still surpass him, but in the eyes of some people, this may not be the case, just like in a relatively closed village, there is a big man as powerful as an ox, and the villagers will definitely think that he is more powerful than the ethereal tiger prison god of war, because this is what they have seen with their own eyes, not just rumors.
Rumors, of course, can increase Lu Bu's prestige and fame, but they can also easily be distorted in the process of transmission, because many people have not fought directly, but they are likely to fight each other. Therefore, it is very unreliable to compare the strength of the ranking only through the indirect performance of guò, although many people are tired of this, especially the Runan Xu Zijiang, who has always been keen on the "Yuedan Review", has recently seemed to set his sights on the military generals, and also made the first military general ranking in history in Lu Bu's impression, but obviously the reliability is not very high, after all, Xu Shao does not leave home, and he is ranked by the rumors he hears, and it is easy to be misled by the public opinion that is habitually false.
Another reason for the confusion in the division of the strength of the generals is that in the actual process of marching and fighting, there are not many places where there is really a need for fighting generals. There's not much room to play. It is often just about looking at the record of the leader, and this often obscures the role of the individual; However, among Wang Yue, these Jianghu people, in order to treat them differently, a certain division was deliberately made.
"According to their division, they are stronger than ordinary martial artists. Can be called a good hand. Above the good hand is the master. Above the master is the strong, and above the strong is the clan, just like Wang Yue. He is the grandmaster...... "There is still a sentence not to say, in Lu Bu's feeling, if this division is placed among the generals, then the second-rate generals are considered to be good hands, the first-class generals are masters, the super-first-class ones are the strongest, and above them is the grandmasters, of course, it is not necessarily accurate.
Today's Zhang Liao can obviously only be regarded as the top of the masters, but he also has a fight against the strong.
Zhang Liao was listening carefully, and Lu Bu continued: "And their division is based on the transformation of the body. The human body has many untapped potentials, but everyone's potential is different, high and low, but how far they can go depends on themselves. There may be people who have great potential, but only develop a very small part, and they will be inferior to another person who has little potential but has fully discovered it. The most important part of the potential is the transformation of the body, and a person's body volume, speed and even reaction ability can be broken through from this. ”
These things may be complicated to say, but in fact, Zhang Liao already had some vague feelings before.
This time he and Lu Bu have gained a lot, Lu Bu is a step further, mastering the "Tiger Fury" trick that even Tong Yuan has suffered, and he himself has also improved a lot, originally it could only be regarded as the peak of first-class generals, although this time it has not yet entered the super-first-class at one time, but there is already that trend, it can be regarded as a front foot stepping into the threshold.
And with the improvement of strength, Zhang Liao has a deeper understanding of his physical condition, this kind of thought is very wonderful, I can't say it clearly, but I can really feel it, as Lu Bu said, I seem to have improved a little in terms of strength.
So when he heard this, he nodded and said, "What Wen Hou said about Liao has been a little touched just now, but he still doesn't know what to do. ”
Lu Bu said cautiously: "That's right, the human body is an indescribable thing, and it is impossible to explore it clearly, only by relying on the experience of predecessors." After stepping into the super-first-class general, the general's self-perception will first have a earth-shaking change, just like Wenyuan, you have some clue now, but you need to continue to work hard in the future. Speaking of this, he changed his words and said, "At that time, I also asked Wang Yue, how many people in this world can reach the level of powerhouse and even grandmaster—do you know how he answered me at that time?" ”
Zhang Liao shook his head, he couldn't think of it, firstly, because he didn't know Wang Yue, although he was a colleague now, but Zhang Liao and Wang Yue didn't have much contact with Cao Xing and the latter, this was due to his personality, Wang Yue's way of life was not what he liked, although he could maintain peace on the surface, but it was indeed a little difficult to make friends, at least he wouldn't be like Gao Shun, some people who couldn't get used to Wang Yue simply treated him coldly, and even said a word, but fortunately, he was silent and golden, and there was not much difference between a straight face and a cold face, It will not make Wang Yue feel that he is deliberately alienated and neglected; Second, he didn't know much about these things, and what Lu Bu said was helping him broaden his horizons.
Lu Budao: "He didn't answer positively at first, but just gave me an example. He said that there was once a toad that lived at the bottom of a well, and that the sky seen from the mouth of the well was its whole world; But one day, when the toad finally jumped out of the well, it would find that the world was so big that it was unimaginable, and what a ridiculous idea it was to use the wellhead as the world in the first place...... And the cloth before was the toad in his mouth. ”
Zhang Liao's face was full of excitement, and he didn't seem to believe it in his eyes, Lu Bu shook his head and smiled: "Of course, what he said must be exaggerated, but it is not all false, at least there is one sentence that is definitely true, that is, he can't be sure how many martial artists of his own or even Tong Yuan's level are in this world, and where are these people, because not everyone can be widely known, not every powerful person is fame and fortune, and not every strong person we can meet or hear." ”
Zhang Liao was also amused by Lu Bu's ridicule, which was not ridiculous, but after laughing, he began to think about a realistic question: If there are really so many unknown powerhouses in this world, then what is he in it.
It's just that then he thought that as Wen Hou said, although it is difficult for him to rank among the strongest in the world with his personal combat strength, he can surprise the world with his military strategy, and leading troops to fight is what he is really good at, so why use his own shortcomings to attack the strengths of others?
It can also be seen from this that Lu Bu's explanation has already had an effect, at least Zhang Liao himself has come out of the tip of Fang Cai's horns, and he can look at his own strength more rationally and understandingly. (To be continued......)
