Chapter 32 Explore
In the afternoon, Xun You's work was almost done. During these days, Lu Bu could not really throw everything to Xun You. They were tired of going out and would do something to relieve Xun You's pressure when they came back. In addition, Guo Jia would occasionally come to the government office. As for whether to do things or not, it all depends on their mood.
The Huns finally left one to come out alive after the friendly and friendly greetings of the prisoners, not because he shouldn't die, nor because the prisoners were incompetent, but because he was useful.
Therefore, the only remaining envoy of the Huns was taken to the Weiwei Mansion to act as a translator for Lu Bu.
This Seme people came from Rome. After arriving at Kangju, they continued to walk westward. When they saw the sea, they were probably in the range of Rome. However, in the Han Dynasty, they preferred to call them the Great Qin Kingdom. Like the Kushan and Anxue, they were all great powers in the Western Regions.
The Western Regions are a large area, and they can be called the Western Regions from Yumen Pass. These Seme people from Rome had to leave Rome because of war and were displaced for more than half a year. After arriving in Cheshi Kingdom this summer, they were captured and captured. Later, when the Huns traded in the Western Regions, they took a fancy to these people and bought them back.
According to these people, probably last year, their emperor Commod was deceived by his mistress and then strangled to death by a wrestler. As a palace guard, they knew that this was a conspiracy of the Senate, so they were chased by the Senate and escaped from Rome, and had been wandering here. At first, there were 800 brave and warriors, but to this point, only eleven of them were left.
Because they all had unique skills, they were valued by the Hun nobles and bought them back. After deciding to help Hu Chuquan show goodwill to Yuan Shao, they were sent to assassinate Lu Bu.
What's ridiculous is that although I knew the name of Lu Bu, the final plan was not carried out, and the Xiongnu delegation was first taken down. Naturally, these Roman guards did not have the need or reason to continue assassinating Lu Bu.
Lu Bu was not interested in how the Roman emperor died. In addition to his curiosity about the Roman system, Lu Bu was more concerned about the unique skills of these eleven people.
"Please allow me to introduce it, dear general!" The leader bowed to Lu Bu, the etiquette of pressing one hand against his chest and bent down.
The translation of the Huns around him is somewhat unreliable. After all, whether it is Roman or Chinese, it is the language of other Chinese for him. This translation process is naturally difficult. Even if the translation is wrong in many places, it is enough to surprise people with talent.
Lu Bu nodded: "Speak."
"In the lower Coente, he was the commander of the Roman emperor's guards, and he was good at coordinating operations, training phalanxes and coordinating operations." Coente bowed.
Lu Bu: "…"
General Lu Bu is really not short of generals, and the ability of the other party remains to be examined. However, even if he is really capable, he cannot use it. How can he communicate with soldiers and fight? If there is also a Gentile who will be convinced, who will be the soldiers?
Lu Bu automatically ignored Coent's expected gaze and looked at the next one.
Coent was somewhat disappointed. According to his understanding, this great man was an Eastern power comparable to Rome. Lu Bu in front of him was obviously a great nobleman who held real power. If he could be appreciated by him, he would definitely be able to use his own skills and perhaps he could establish his own family in this eastern country. Unfortunately, the other party seemed not satisfied with him.
It makes sense that Coent and his group were able to escape to the Western Regions through the heavy pursuit of the Roman Empire. Each of them was the elite of the Roman army, and their thick palms and broad shoulders proved this. They were all elites who had experienced hard training.
But these people may be able to be incorporated into the army, but they are not the talents Lu Bu wants the most. The court is not short of elite troops now. It is the last older person, and Lu Bu no longer has expectations.
"His name is Thorne. He was originally an excellent craftsman. He could not only build the sharpest weapons, but also the strongest castle. It was just because of his wife's betrayal that he vowed to become a brave warrior!" Coent was also disappointed. Perhaps they were going to find another country to seek shelter.
"Your name is Thorne?" Lu Bu looked at Thorne: "Can you make any kind of weapon?"
After receiving the translator's answer, Thorne nodded quickly: "Yes, dear general, I can build it whether it is a longbow, a large shield, or a catapult."
At this time, you can have a place to stay. As for what you do, it doesn’t matter.
"Very good!" Lu Bu nodded. Perhaps to others, this is not a talent. Zuo is just a craftsman, but for Lu Bu, the value of this talent is not even inferior to the return of a counselor.
Lu Bu has seen the prosperity of Daqian. Whether it is equipment or civilian things, he can draw some things based on his memory and horses, but some very precise things, such as Daqian's loom, Lu Bu just draws a shape, and even horses can't.
If Thorne can bring breakthroughs in people's livelihood and military weapons to the Han Dynasty, then for the Han Dynasty, he is a top talent!
Hope it works.
Lu Bu looked at the translator and said, "From now on, you are no longer a Hun. You are a translator for them. You will serve people to communicate with them. Doing it well will not only save your life, but also make you my Han family."
"Thank you, Marquis Wen!" The Hun envoy was as if he was granted a general amnesty and hurriedly bowed to Lu Bu.
Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Xun You actually cannot understand this. Lu Bu seems to attach great importance to craftsmen. However, this kind of thing can be regarded as some of Lu Bu's hobbies, and they don't have to worry too much. As for Lu Bu's not blindly using the Roman general, everyone understands this. One is that the other party is an alien race after all, and the other is that the other party may not have strong abilities. Lu Bu does not lack generals. As for the handsome talent, even if the other party really has this ability, Lu Bu cannot hand over the command of the army to the alien race.
Lu Bu immediately ordered someone to call Ma Jun, briefly talking about Thoren's identity. From then on, Thoren will follow Ma Jun and be considered his subordinate.
Ma Jun was really curious about the technology of another big country, so he took the translator and Thorne away. As for Coent and his group, Guo Jia thought for a while and said, "Lord, how about these people handing over to me?"
"Is Fengxiao interested in this?" Lu Bu looked at Guo Jia and smiled.
"Yes, Jia is quite interested in the culture and system of another great country." Guo Jia nodded, and like the Senate, the great nobles and other things mentioned earlier, Guo Jia became curious about the other whole.
Lu Bu nodded. He had learned about some Western political systems, but they were mainly based on the power of the monarch. Lu Bu was not very fond of that, but it was not completely worthless. Since Guo Jia wanted to have an in-depth understanding, then give him the person.
In the coming days, with the arrival of winter, Chang'an City also became colder. In this season, when there is no major event, most people are more willing to squeeze in to keep warm at home. Not everyone can afford to keep warm. Most people live through winter by resisting.
Lu Bu was somewhat helpless, but there were still many things that could not be done by manpower.
"Lord, I was born in this chaotic world. The lord is already better than most people." I didn't go to the street anymore. Outside the window was snowing heavily. Jia Xu and Lu Bu sat in the pavilion of the Weiwei Bureau to cook tea and watch the snow. Looking at Lu Bu sighed, Jia Xu understood Lu Bu's mood a little.
It is hard to imagine that such a general who was stained with countless blood and killed countless people on the battlefield had a worrying heart. He paid more attention to the feelings of the people than any prince. Even if this era belongs to scholars, he still created a world of heaven for the people in this Guanzhong with his own strength.
It turns out that the cold-blooded general also has a gentle side, but few people can see this gentleness, and no one can really understand it. At least there will not be too many people who can understand his goals during his lifetime. This is probably the reason why people like Guo Jia are willing to stay with Lu Bu.
He is walking a path that the ancients have never taken before, and no matter whether they succeed or not, it will not hinder his greatness.
People like Guo Jia are actually very compatible with Lu Bu.
"I haven't sought perfection. Are you a human being born to die, but there should be something left between life and death." Lu Bu looked at the snow scene in front of him: "Otherwise, will people live just for wine, sex, money, be too boring?"
Jia Xu stroked his beard without saying a word. Most people pursued this thing, including famous scholars and noble men. The realm of his lord was unexpectedly high. He felt like an old pedan, but not rigid. On the contrary, when it was time to be cold-blooded, his lord was cold-blooded than anyone else.
"Actually, there is no difference." Jia Xu smiled.
"For me, it's very different." Lu Bu also smiled. He understood what Jia Xu said, whether it's noble or vulgar, how to choose as a overlord. In fact, it's almost the same for the people in this troubled times. The best way is to end the troubled times as soon as possible, but the contradiction is here. Lu Bu's road cannot be quickly ended, so the people still have to suffer.
Even after the troubled times end, it will still be hard! So there is no difference.
But for Lu Bu, this is a continuous integration of his experiences in the simulated world. What he is pursuing now is not just to pacify the world, but to build a perfect country. Even if he knows that no system can actually be perfect, this process of continuous exploration has a fatal temptation. Every time he obtains a new breakthrough, the sense of accomplishment is more moving and lasting than the pleasure brought by wine, sex, wealth and energy.
Jia Xu looked at Lu Bu, smiled, held the teapot and poured a cup for Lu Bu and said, "It's good if you're happy, lord."
