Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1607 Future and Wealth

Raise your gaze high and pull it to the clouds, human beings are just ants on a small ball, fighting for territory and killing each other, while the sun and the moon are just indifferent bystanders. Although the earth itself is a battlefield, but The earth's skin is too thick, like the mud layer on a wild boar's armor. Whether it is covered with moss or crawling with ants, I don't even notice it. It is still sleeping soundly, only moving occasionally.

  A hundred and ten miles away from Da Ruo, Liu Bei finally arrived with his troops.

  The mountain road on this road is indeed difficult to walk, quite difficult to walk.

  Liu Bei once thought that the mountain road was already the ultimate when he walked from Jingxiang to Badong, but he did not expect that the road from Chuanzhong to Dazhuo would be more difficult and bitter than the previous one!

Before Jingxiang went to Badong, although it was difficult, but after all, there is a road that has been dug by the ancestors, no matter how bad it is, there is a direction, and you know where to go, but the road to Dazhuo is basically no road. What kind of mountain road for pedestrians, naturally there is no ready-made route, step by step, you need to cut down the vines, sweep the weeds, and check them out bit by bit...

  Even if I found a guide, I still took the side road twice. Once I reached the edge of the cliff and had to go back again.

  In addition to the difficulties on the road, there is also the difficulty of supplies. Fortunately, Fei Qian equipped Liu Bei with a lot of wheelbarrows. This kind of transportation suitable for transferring grain and grass between mountain roads is indeed a great help.

   Then there are all kinds of bugs and snakes...

Once, when Liu Bei was camping by the forest, he saw two Danyang soldiers with his own eyes. After dawn, they were still leaning on the tree trunk, with their eyes closed. When he died, the armor on his body was lifted off, and his chest, abdomen, hands, and legs were covered with insects that were swollen by sucking, palm-length, and two or three fingers wide!

   Was sucked dry by insects overnight and died!

   Liu Bei was so frightened that all his pores exploded, and he was out of his wits.

  So, Liu Bei no longer dared to be greedy for roads. When the time came, he immediately obediently looked for a clean campsite, cleaned the ground, scattered medicine and lit a bonfire to expel insects...

   But it was also because of this that Liu Bei's pace couldn't get up any faster, and it was only now that he was close to Da Ruo.

  If the people of later generations who are tired of looking at cement and high-rise buildings come here, they will probably feel relaxed and happy, the air is fresh, and the beautiful mountains and rivers are so charming, and the green eyes are so pleasant...

  However, in Liu Bei's eyes, the mountains and the mountains and the mountains and the mountains are full of rocks, the streams below the mountains are gurgling, which is very annoying, and there are so many insects in the forest that it is frightening. This scenery is as annoying as it is boring.

  But this kind of area is really a paradise.

Even the beasts are silly and cute. When they see people, they stand and look at them stupidly. It is not until they see people picking up swords, guns and arrows that they instinctively feel that something is wrong. By the time they turn around and want to run, it is too late. Already...

Among the mountains and forests, there are not many stones and bare ground that completely avoid bugs, but if you look carefully, there are still some. After experiencing the horrible incident of blood-sucking bugs, Liu Bei is very careful and would rather shorten the trip than take various risks. After all, there are only these Danyang soldiers left under his subordinates now. If these Danyang soldiers continue to be lost again and again, then let alone anything else, I am afraid that life alone will not be easy...

This time, Liu Bei set out faster than Li Hui who was in Jianzhong, but now that he was approaching Dazuo, Liu Bei didn't know whether Li Hui and others had rushed ahead of him, and he didn't even know the surrounding area. Exactly what happened to the Ruo people, everything is unknown.

   Liu Bei called Zhang Fei, looked at the surrounding mountains, pondered for a moment and said, "Third brother, let's not move for the next two days, and set up a camp here... What do you think?"

Liu Bei was worried that if he walked towards Da Ruo, he might enter the attack range of the Ruo people, and Liu Bei didn't know what he would encounter in this direction, and whether there was any ambush, so he couldn't judge. Whether it is dangerous, so setting up a camp here, and then using it as a stronghold, is also a move to ensure your own safety to a certain extent.

But what Liu Bei is worried about now is that Li Hui and others are more familiar with the terrain of Sichuan and Shu than himself, and they have no help from others. When someone gets to the front and takes the first place in Da Ruo, what is left?

  So Liu Bei was very contradictory, and wanted to hear Zhang Fei's suggestion.

   "Here?" Zhang Fei turned his head and looked around, "This is a good place, with mountains on its back and water sources next to it. It's a good place to set up a village, but it's a little far away from time to time?"

  Liu Bei also nodded and said: "It's a little farther away, but this way it shouldn't be disturbed by the Ruo people... and the biggest problem is that side..."

General Zhengxi said that whoever arrives at Daruo first will be in charge of the development of Daruo, and relying on such an iron mine will undoubtedly provide a steady stream of wealth and armor, which is the greatest thing for Liu Bei. temptation.

…

"Brother, how about this..." Zhang Fei proposed a compromise plan, and said, "You bring people here to set up a stronghold, and I will take some people to go ahead to investigate first, so there will be no delay...Brother thinks how?"

   "Third brother, you go forward to investigate?" Liu Bei frowned, and turned to look at Zhang Fei.

  Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Don't worry, brother, I know, be careful, I understand!"

"This..." Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei's thinned cheeks, sighed slightly, then patted Zhang Fei's shoulder and said, "Third brother, be careful! Don't be careless. If there is something abnormal, you would rather return it than not Go ahead!"

   "Understood, brother!" Zhang Fei nodded.

"Later, I will distribute some supplies for you, and bring more insecticides, felt blankets, machetes, etc..." Liu Bei suddenly saw a hole in the boot on Zhang Fei's foot, revealing With a broken ankle, he took off the boots on his feet involuntarily, "Why don't you change a pair if it's broken? Come on, put on mine first..."

   "Brother, can I still wear this..." Zhang Fei refused.

   "You can wear it if I give it to you, don't talk nonsense!" Liu Bei pretended to be angry, "Give it to me first, I will be here for the past two days, just have time to mend it!"

"Hey..." Zhang Fei's needle-like beard trembled, then he lowered his head, took off his boot with a hole in it, and then took Liu Bei's boot with both hands, looking at Liu Bei, standing with one bare foot, I don't know what to say.

  Liu Bei put Zhang Fei's broken boots on. Seeing that Zhang Fei was still standing stupidly, he frowned and said, "Put them on quickly! It's almost time to patrol the camp...Let's go..."

  Zhang Fei was stunned, and then saw Liu Bei walking forward, Fang came to his senses, quickly put on his boots, and followed behind Liu Bei...

  The setting sun scattered brilliance from the side of the mountain, shining on this area, and also cast a layer of halo on Liu Bei's figure.

  Near the rocks, there are some scattered wild peach and plum trees, and some unknown trees, which also bloomed flowers in this season, swaying gracefully in the mountains and mist.

   Zhang Fei followed behind Liu Bei, watching, suddenly felt as if he had returned to the moment in Zhuo County, under the peach blossoms all over the sky...

  Following Liu Bei back then was for the future of the three of them, for a greater ideal, but now even though the road ahead is long, but there is still a brother here, there is still a future, and our ideals...

   "What's the matter?" Liu Bei turned his head, the smile on his face was still as gentle as before, "Why are you walking so slowly? Are the boots not fitting? I remember that the three of us are all about the same size?"

   "No! It's quite suitable!" Zhang Fei also smiled, "Brother, I'll come right away!"

  …………………

   On another route to Daruo, the people from Jianning also stopped. A group of people were standing high in the mountains, above the banners waving in the wind, there was a big "Li" character.

"People of my generation, if you want to have a foundation, you must get the iron of the big iron!" Li Hui saw the figure of Yuan Yue, the king of the king coming from a distance, and said to his nephew in a low voice, "If you want to get Big Rue, you need someone to help you, and it's worth the time wasted..."

   Li Hui and the others actually did not leave fast, because they spent their initial time searching for Yuan Yueyi, who had been hiding in the mountains before. Like the Zo people, they are barbarians who are accustomed to walking in the mountains. For Li Hui and others who have been in Sichuan and Shu for a long time, there is naturally no better person than the Zo people if they want to resist the Zo people.

  Among the Jian people, some of them took refuge in Fei Qian, so naturally they could no longer be used by Li Hui and others, so the only one that could be used was Yuan Yue, who fled the battlefield back then.

  The battle between Yuan Yue and Fei Qian back then was indeed nothing to praise, but the people in Sichuan and Shu were not very tenacious, so there was no need to laugh at half a hundred steps.

At the beginning, Yuanyue, the king of swindlers, didn't believe that Fei Qian had acquired Sichuan and Shu, and he didn't even believe that Fei Qian would pardon him for his previous actions with Liu Zhang. He lures out to remove...

   This kind of thing is not unheard of, so Yuan Yue, the king of the scammers, was skeptical, until Li Hui came in person, he was a little relieved, and formally met with Li Hui.

   "Jian Ren Wang, are you safe?" Li Hui laughed and greeted Yuan Yue.

  Yuan Yue looked around, as if observing whether there was any dangerous aura of weapons, and then responded: "Xiao Wang has seen Li Shijun..."

  In the mountains, there are no luxurious places. A mat is placed on a slightly flat stone, and then a curtain or two is wrapped around the mat, which is quite good.

  Li Hui guided Yuan Yue into the curtain, and said, "Since Sichuan and Sichuan are all under the Western Conquest, you and I naturally belong to the same family. You don't have to be so polite... Come, please sit, please sit..."

On the table on the mat, there were some things like dried meat and dried fruits. Li Hui invited Yuan Yue to eat them, but Yuan Yue shook his head, and instead of eating these things, he said directly: "Emissary Li, we If you have something to say, just tell me, what is the purpose of you coming to me?"

Li Hui originally squeezed a dried fruit and was about to eat it. Seeing that Yuan Yue said it so directly, he was not angry, so he squeezed the dried fruit in his hand, smiled, and said, "King Jin, we have met several times before. , but I have never had a chance to sit down and have a good talk... What about today, let's not talk about anything else for now, I'm a little curious about one thing... I don't know if King Xiren has thought about the future of the nobles?"

"The future?" Yuan Yue frowned, then put it down immediately, and said with a big laugh, "We are all rough people, how do we know what the future is or not, if we can live a day, it is a day, and every day is very happy ! Haha, hahaha..."

"Oh? That's true?" Li Hui didn't reveal it, but just put the dried fruit in his mouth into his mouth, and said in a vague way while chewing, "But the other Jinren Wang has a better life than you... "

  Yuan Yue smiled and stared at Li Hui.

  Li Hui was not in a hurry, he spit out the core of the dried fruit with a "poof", then pointed to the bean dish and said, "This taste is really good, you might as well try it..."

  Yuan Yue looked at Li Hui, then at the bean dish, finally squeezed a dried fruit, threw it into his mouth, and turned his head to the other side, as if looking at the surrounding scenery.

Li Hui said slowly: "We Han people are actually the same. The previous leader... Well, it's not bad, but it's not good enough. He led us to fight, but... Hey! So, we thought about changing The leader, change to a leader who can make our Han people in Sichuan and Sichuan live better, get richer, have more food, and have more clothes... This is also human nature..."

  Yuan Yue's face gradually darkened.

"Everyone has some ideals, and they have to think about the future..." Li Hui continued, "Even if it's not for myself, I will think about it for my own children... Just like me, now I also want to think about it for the next generation. If you think about it, you can't let these children and grandchildren live a poor life, right? If this is really the case, will these children and grandchildren still want to? Will they follow us?"

   "But..." Yuan Yue stared at Li Hui and said, "But what you Han people want is what you Han people want to kill with your life! You Han people have always taken advantage of it, but it is our Jin people who shed their blood!"

Li Hui raised his head and laughed, "What? Is there any good thing in this world where you can sit back and enjoy what you get without risking your life? Isn't it true that everyone in the world is a parent who only pays without asking for anything in return? You people risk your life to kill , We Han people have never fought for our lives? We Sichuan and Shu people have fought against Zhengxi before! On these battlefields, the people of Sichuan and Shu who died are not alive? If you win, you will naturally have everything. If you lose Yes, and of course I have to admit it! The King of Renren, you must know the current affairs..."

Wang Yuanyue seemed to feel that there was something wrong with Li Hui's words, but he couldn't tell the difference, and he couldn't say it out. He frowned, and after a moment of silence, he said, "This time, what do you Han people want to do?" ?”

   "Naturally, it is for a better future..." Li Hui smiled very kindly, "Of course, it is also a great fortune to bring to the King of Kings..."
