Chapter 186 Human sacrifice
Yu Fuluo ran his horse wildly, and the rapid sound of horse hooves echoed in the valley, and it lasted for a long time, spreading to the distance like muffled thunder.
More than ten cavalry rushed in front of him, and more than three hundred cavalry followed closely behind, nervously staring at the surrounding environment to prevent accidents. They were all Yu Fuluo's personal guards, Yu Fuluo was their life, and they were Yu Fuluo's minions. Now Yu Fuluo has fallen into ecstasy and has lost judgment on everything around them. They have to take this responsibility.
Yu Fuluo cannot be unexcited or ecstatic.
Last year, the Huns had civil strife, killing his father, the old Shanyu, Qiangqu, and supporting the Hou of Xubugudu as Shanyu. He was weak and could not resist, so he had to take more than a thousand loyal tribes to Luoyang, hoping to take back the Shanyu throne with the prestige of the Han emperor.
He never expected that it was not the envoy of the Emperor of Han, but the bad news that all the rebellion in Shandong was welcomed.
Yu Fuluo was stunned at that time. The Han Empire fell apart, and the Han emperor was too busy to take care of himself, so he had no time to stand up for him. Yu Fuluo, who was completely disappointed, had nowhere to go, and could only wander around Hedong and Hanoi, robbing some remote villages to replenish food and grass. However, this sporadic plundering could not meet his needs at all. As he was about to fall into a desperate situation, he received news that the Han emperor arrived in Meiji and killed the Hou of Subu Gudu.
Yu Fuluo was stunned again. What kind of strength does Xubu Guduhou have? He knew very well that the Han Emperor Liu Bian could actually kill Xubu Guduhou in one battle. What surprised him even more was Liu Bian's quick ability to move. The emperor had a great chance of traveling and was destined to be fast. Xubu Guduhou had enough time to prepare. However, a month ago, he heard that Liu Bian was in Luoyang, so why did he suddenly arrive in Meiji?
When he heard that Liu Bian had only brought five thousand elite cavalry, he understood why Liu Bian was so fast, but another question arose. With just five thousand elite cavalry, even if the county soldiers of Yanmen, Taiyuan, and Xihe counties were added, it was difficult for Liu Bian to defeat the Subu Guduhou, so how could he kill the Subu Guduhou in the last battle?
It is not that easy to kill the generals at the last minute. Yu Fuluo, who has been through the battle for a long time, understands that this must be a devastating victory. Only in this way can the Marquis of Subu Gudu not even escape.
This reminded Yu Fuluo of the Battle of Songgao Mountain a few months ago. Yu Fuluo didn't know the details, but he knew that the forces of both sides were compared. Liu Bian had only 30,000 to 40,000 people, while his total number of enemies exceeded 200,000. How Liu Bian defeated the Yuan brothers? It has now become a legend. There are all kinds of magical statements. Yu Fuluo didn't know which one to believe.
However, he knew that he might have encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he seized this opportunity, he would not only be able to firmly hold the position of Shanyu, but also revitalize the might of the Huns and bring the declining Huns to a new glory.
Therefore, Yu Fuluo handed over the main force to his younger brother Hu Chuquan and Youxianwang to go to Bei, and he only brought the most elite guard camp, one man and two horses, running towards Meiji day and night.
An eagle hovered in the distance in the sky. Yu Fuluo couldn't help but look at it. Although the eagle was just a black spot in his eyes, he felt a sense of pressure inexplicably, as if the eagle was looking at him coldly.
Yu Fuluo read it correctly, the eagle was indeed looking at him.
Liu Bian sat under the tree with a calm expression. He was motionless, his mind was already united with the eagle, and he was silently staring at Yu Fuluo and his personal guards who were running towards him. Although he did not know Yu Fuluo, from the scale and equipment of the team, he knew that this should be Yu Fuluo who was in a hurry to come back and stay in the position of the unit.
He was not very interested in Fuluo, but he enjoyed the feeling of soaring over the blue sky and overlooking the vast world.
This feeling is really a bit like a god.
At this height, no matter how the mountains on the ground rise and fall, in his eyes, it is a small slope; no matter how strong and mighty the people on the ground, it is an ant in his eyes; no matter how the river on the ground rushes, it is just a winding stream.
Looking down at the earth is like bent down to look at a grass, watching ants busy among the grass, watching beetles hunting among the grass, watching them waving their limbs and feet, waiting for the prey to come to the door. He can crush them into powder at any time as long as he stretches out a finger.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" A timid voice woke Liu Bian up.
Liu Bian opened his eyes and looked at Diao Chan in front of him. Diao Chan shivered, subconsciously knelt down, lowered his head, lowered his bow. His neck and round buttocks made Liu Bian move in a flash. He could hardly help calling Diao Chan over and experience the wonderful taste of the Ninth Level of the Nether Path.
The folds on Diao Chan's tongue are the legendary famous artifacts: the Nine-Level Ghost Path. The real famous artifact is of course not the mouth, but the perfect jade hidden by Diao Chan. However, Liu Bian's current situation is not suitable for touching, otherwise Diao Chan may become an ice beauty like Tang Ying. However, her only tongue mouth has surpassed Bian's family and has become Liu Bian's first choice.
Whenever Diao Chan surrendered in front of him in this posture, he always had an impulse that could not be suppressed. However, Yu Fuluo was less than twenty miles away, and he had more important things to arrange, so he had to endure it first, and then enjoy it happily.
"What's the matter?" Liu Bian asked, tugging his clothes quietly, hiding the already raised dragon root.
"Your Majesty...it's time to have a meal."
"Oh." Liu Bian woke up from his dream and it was time to have lunch again. Ordinary Han people had two meals a day, and the same was true for the ethnic groups on the grassland. The nobles had three meals a day. As the nobles among the nobles, Liu Bian normally had four meals a day. However, since he began to practice, Liu Bian gradually had no appetite. He was always unable to get interested in eating, and he did not feel hungry except for competing with Cao Zhang for food.
However, people are iron and food is steel. He has not become a god yet, so he must not stop eating, so he can only force himself to eat more. The task of reminding him that the meal was originally from Bian and Du, but now Diao Chan has come, it has become Diao Chan's full-time task.
"What are some today?" Liu Bian said as he sat up. The eagle glided from the world. Niu Jin, who was standing beside him, stretched out his arm, and the eagle folded its wings and landed on his arm, staring coldly at Diao Chan lying in front of Liu Bian.
But in a few days, it seemed to have grown a lot again, with its wings spreading to a height of ten feet, making it a rare big eagle.
"Yes... are roasted lamb, llama...keep camel..."
Liu Bian frowned: "Are you cold?"
"No...not cold." Diao Chan smiled forcibly, her voice trembling: "It's Your Majesty... Heavenly Power, I'm..."
Liu Bian was speechless. He knew that the indifference he showed inadvertently frightened Diao Chan. Since she learned that Wang Yun sent her to die, she was a gentle hidden weapon. She was very afraid of Liu Bian, afraid that his cold eyes seemed to be able to see through people's inner eyes. In fact, not only Diao Chan was the only one, but Cai Yan once said that, but her feeling was not as heavy as Diao Chan.
"Go, please come to Xun You." Liu Bian said, pulling out a knife, cutting off a piece of meat, and throwing it at the eagle. The eagle stretched out, opened its bent eagle beak, stumbled on the flesh, raised its neck, swallowed it directly, tilted its head, and looked at Liu Bian.
Diao Chan stood up and hurried away. It didn't take long, but Xun You came, his steps were light and vigorous.
"His Majesty?"
"Gongda, sit." Liu Bian pointed to the opposite position, and pointed to the golden roasted lamb and wine: "Don't be polite, just be at your own expense."
Xun You responded, picked up a knife, cut off a piece of meat, threw it into his mouth, and slowly chewed it. With Liu Bian for so long, he had become accustomed to Liu Bian's behavior. You can say that he is the appearance of an unmanned king, or he can say that he is approachable. However, few people who have really come into contact with Liu Bian dare to say that Liu Bian is the appearance of an unmanned king. As long as he is looked at by his eyes that look like a god looking down at the world, no one dares to say that Liu Bian is frivolous again.
"The Huns are almost here, how are you preparing for the reception banquet?"
"Everything is ready." Xun You's eyes flashed: "There's something..."
"What's the matter? Tell me." Liu Bian threw another piece of meat for the eagle, picked up a small piece by himself, and slowly savored it. Only by savoring it so carefully can he find some fun to eat.
"Demonstrate the formation, there is no problem." Xun You said quickly, as if every word had been carefully thought about: "But, if you want to go to the battle formation, it will not be so easy, and you must sacrifice."
"Sacrifice?" Liu Bian was stunned and looked at Xun You. Xun You met his gaze and nodded silently.
Liu Bian knew what sacrifice meant. During the Battle of Fengshui, the Jin Kingdom killed seven young and strong slaves in one breath in order to summon Fengying. This is called blood, which refers to life with blood. The lowest level is sheep dog, then cattle and horse, then humans, that is, humans. People are divided into different levels, usually based on status, but Liu Bian felt that it might be more prepared based on cultivation.
The most advanced human being is of course the emperor with the blood of the real dragon.
Almost every nation has this experience. There was a custom of killing people in the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. However, after the Zhou Dynasty, when humanistic thoughts emerged, they rarely used people to kill people, and even used pottery figurines to bury them. Even so, they were strongly opposed by Confucius, so Confucius cursed and said, "Will there be no descendants of the initiator?" He refused to keep even the symbols.
Although Xun You was dependent on Liu Bian, he was still a Confucian scholar and it was difficult for him to accept the practice of using human animals. But he also knew that Liu Bian asked him to learn the formation in the hope that one day he could use it. If he could not put it into practice because of human animals, he would not be able to continue to study the formation, and it would be difficult to come in handy at that time.
Whether to continue researching, he needs to know Liu Bian’s idea. If Liu Bian insists on using human sacrifices, he has to give up and be a planner honestly, and no longer involves formations.
"It's too cruel to take people as a victim." Liu Bian pondered for a long time and said lightly: "You try again, is there any other way."
Xun You felt relieved and bowed to accept the order.
