Chapter 45: On the Princes at the Campfire

Wildfires burn inexhaustibly, and the spring breeze blows and rebirths, but human life is by no means as tenacious as a small grass, and can "come back from the dead", even if it is a Huns.

A fire burned out the past and future, decay and hope of the entire tribe, the soldiers of the Lu Bu army originally wanted to eat the beef and mutton cooked by the Huns, but now the meat that was burned into a piece of charred meat can no longer distinguish whether it is the meat of cattle and sheep or the meat of people, and as long as they think of this scene that happened under their noses, they can't help but feel sick to their stomachs.

And Wu Jue looked at this qiē, he was already demented, his whole person seemed to have turned into a sculpture, completely devoid of the vitality he should have, and his eyes were also radiant and lifeless, and he couldn't see the shadow of the once high-spirited Hu Yan Wu Jue.

"Why, why......" He muttered to himself over and over again in Xiongnu language, as if asking the "untrustworthy" Lu Bu, and as if he was torturing his own heart.

Lu Bu only raised his eyebrows when he heard it, and he didn't pay attention to it at all.

Why? He sneered in his heart, whether it was because of the brutality of the Huns in the past or their behavior in the "future", this was a deserved punishment.

In the end, Wu Jue, who was in deep despair and remorse, did not escape his punishment and paid the price of his life, but unlike the Huns who were mostly buried in the fire, his body was finally well preserved, next to the Xiongnu tribe that was burned to ashes, and Lu Bu left him a whole corpse, but it was more like a great irony of what he did in the last period of his life.

Then the blood will be cold, the smoke will dissipate, and there will be indifference.

It's just that in this piece of land, there seems to be still the wailing of those unwilling Hun lives, and the faint voice in the ears is scolding and whispering, even if the wind and smoke disappear for a long time, it is like carving a mark in the heart, deep and continuous. Never.

But for Lu Bujun. This is just the beginning, from this day on, on the way to Pingding County, where the two armies separated and galloped to Pingding County, I don't know how many Xiongnu tribes were destroyed in their hands, and often men, women, and children were slaughtered to the end, leaving no one alive.

This scene is like a reenactment of the qiē committed by the Huns against the Han people along the border. It's just that the status of the two sides has been reversed, the executioner has become a sheep, and the "sheep" has become a butcher.

Starting from crossing the river, all the way along the northwest to Pingding County, blood flowed into rivers and ashes everywhere, perhaps for the Huns at this time. is the real "people are not living", and in the end, even most of the soldiers of the Lu Bu Army have felt numb.

However, when such a human tragedy was repeated again, watching those Hun civilians who had no power to resist at all wail in pain in the flames, or were killed by random arrows, or went to hell together in life and death, Wang Cheng was as strong as Wang Chengdu felt a little unbearable, and he whispered in Jia Xu's ear: "Military advisor...... Wen Hou did so. Isn't that a little too much......"

Let Wang Cheng kill the Hun soldiers, he will definitely not be the slightest merciful. But these Hun civilians are somewhat unacceptable psychologically. Even that day, Lu Bu had already made it clear enough.

This is also the normal feeling of people, or the long-term affection of the Han people, at least if the current situation is replaced by the Huns to slaughter Han civilians, they will not feel the slightest discomfort and guilt.

Jia Xu glanced at Wang Cheng and snorted: "No wonder Wen Hou thinks you still need to go through another experience, have you forgotten what Wen Hou said that day?" ”

Wang Cheng snorted for a moment, and Jia Xu sighed: "You didn't see Wen Hou's deep meaning, you just thought that he was so cold-blooded and murderous, and you are not to blame for it......"

In fact, Jia Xu also felt that Lu Bu was a little too inhumane in his heart, but he would not feel sympathy for these Huns, and he also understood Lu Bu's intention to do this, but he had to think of a more critical point, I am afraid that in the future, this will become an excuse for those fellow princes to attack him when they compete with him for hegemony, you must know that the most terrible thing in this era is to make this kind of soft knife.

The Central Plains has always been a state of self-proclaimed etiquette, especially for these so-called foreign peoples, those scholars and doctors are eager to preach their benevolence and morality to them, if Lu Bu's current behavior is known, no, it will definitely be known, and it will inevitably be used to make a big fuss, if it is put on the name of a murderous person, it is definitely not a good thing for the current Lu Bu, he just wanted to correct his reputation, and he has not yet begun to improve, if this news comes out, it will be completely ruined.

After thinking about it, Jia Xu still ran over to Lu Bu and said, "Lord, isn't this act too ruthless?" These Huns have no power to resist, of course, they don't have to let them all go, they can kill some Liwei, but it is too cruel to slaughter them all. ”

At this moment, Xun You was sitting next to him, he was specially brought by Lu Bu to go out with the army this time, of course, Xun Yu was also there, but Xun Yu has rarely appeared in front of everyone, but Xun You will participate in some of Lu Bu's army's marching meetings, of course, just silent listening, anyway, this is also invited by Lu Bu, if he doesn't come in vain, he has always said very little, but at this time, he doesn't know why, when he heard Jia Xu's words, he rarely spoke, and it sounded like he was defending Lu Bu:" Wen He really thinks that you Wen Hou is a cruel and murderous person, although he is quite in line with my appetite for this action, but I see through his intentions at a glance, he is afraid that after Yu Fuluo enters the main Shan Yu Court, he will integrate the Xiongnu, and he will pour all his troops, and then you will be completely unable to resist. In this case, why don't you anger those Huns with such an act first, and let them come out in advance to fight a decisive battle with you, the Huns at this time are not completely unanimous, and they must not be pressed by all their strength, and you still have a chance to win. "Xun You and Jia Xu get along well, and they are quite sympathetic, so their attitude towards him is also good.

But what Xun You said, how could Jia Xu not know, he actually knew the purpose of Lu Bu for a long time, but he felt that there were many means to achieve the goal, and it was not necessarily necessary to use such means, after all, it was too easy to attract hatred.

Lu Bu also spoke at this time: "Xun Gongda doesn't have to show off your little things, I'm afraid I already know these Wenhe......" As soon as he said this, he saw Xun You turn his head away, and seemed to snort, he smiled disappreciatively, and then turned to Jia Xu, his eyes showed a strange brilliance under the reflection of the bonfire, "Wen He thinks it makes sense, but I have thought about it carefully, in fact, if I want to recruit someone, it may not necessarily have a good reputation, or a reputation of benevolence." If you want to attract talent, the key is also strength. ”

Lu Bu still has a little bit to say, with more than a thousand years of insight beyond this era, he can use the hype methods of later generations to stir up his reputation, especially similar to the stain that may be attacked by opponents such as defecting to the national thief Dong Zhuo and wantonly slaughtering ordinary Huns, with the spread of the people, it is completely possible to say that the black is white; And when Lu Bu has a certain strength, and at the same time shows a certain amount of protection for the interests of the family, there will naturally be some of them who will help themselves to publicize, and their publicity and touting are the key.

Lu Bu doesn't like the family, but in this world, in the context of this era, if you want to seize the world, many times you have to rely on the strength of the family, even if you support a group of new forces, sooner or later they will develop into another generation of families, the so-called idea of dealing with the family, as early as when Dong Zhuo collided with those families in Luoyang, Lu Bu had already given up.

His original plan was to let Dong Zhuo weaken the power of those families first, and when the contradictions between the two sides accumulated to the peak, he would make another move, on the one hand, he could use the power of the family to suppress Dong Zhuo, and on the other hand, he could use the power of the family to fight for more political points for himself, but unfortunately the world changed too quickly, and now he has left Luoyang, so this plan can only be abandoned.

Lu Bu said: "In fact, the so-called reputation is blown out, and Yuan Benchu was because of those families who helped him tout, which attracted Hebei talents to defect to him, and even Tian Feng under Han Fu gave him up and voted for Yuan Shao." But in fact, what about Yuan Shao? He is more than enough to be a minister, and maybe he will be the pillar of the Han Dynasty, because he has that network background, and he also has that knowledge and talent, and there is no shortage of ability and means, and it is not difficult to do great things, but for the princes of one side, it is indeed inappropriate in terms of his character, if it were not for the fact that there are Gongsun Zhan and Han Fu and even the black mountain thief Zhang Yan in Hebei as stumbling blocks in front of him, I am afraid that he will immediately expose his self-righteous and self-righteous nature. ”

Even Xun You was a little surprised, in fact, because Xun Yu and Yuan Shao had contact, and he also had a certain understanding, from Xun Yu he knew some things about Yuan Shao, and his impression of this Yuan Shao was not much different from what Lu Bu said, he really didn't expect Lu Bu to have such eyesight, almost subconsciously he asked: "According to what you say, isn't this Yuan Benchu very unbearable, but I think that Hebei will be in his pocket sooner or later, so Gongsun Zhan, Han Fu and others who are opponents with him are not even more unbearable, Is there no prince in this world who can enter your eyes? ”

Lu Bu thought for a while and said: "Not necessarily, there are so many princes in the world, although most of them are first-class Han Fu, and occasionally there are characters like Yuan Benchu, but it is impossible to put them all in his eyes, there are so many people, but they dare not despise ......"

At this time, Jia Xu and Xun You were both a little curious, and even Lu Cui, who came after hearing the sound, also made a gesture of listening, they all wanted to know, who would be able to look at the Tiger Prison God of War and Wenhou Lu Fengxian, who has always been arrogant in the world?
