21, the witch and the divination
Niu Fu was squirting alcohol in his mouth, and his steps on his feet staggered. When he rushed to the front of the wooden frame, he could not stop his momentum and hit the wooden frame. The wooden frame fell down with Niu Fu's thick body, and the sword on the frame also fell to the ground with a clang.
Niu Fu, who was lying on the ground, fell heavily, but it also made him sober up a little while drunk. He stretched out his hands to get the sword that fell on the ground. He hooked his fingers several times before he hooked the sword not far away.
As soon as the sword was started, Niu Fu reluctantly sat up again regardless of the others, took off his sword and unsheathed it. He thrust the sharp blade out of the sword. He looked at the sword blade with clear light and laughed.
There was a loud bang in the hall, and a loud laughter. Although Niu Fu's personal guards guarding outside the hall were frightened, they still climbed up and arrived at the door of the hall. When they saw Niu Fu drew his sword drunk, they laughed out loud inexplicably at the sword, looked at each other inexplicably, looking at each other, hesitating, wondering if they were going to come forward to dissuade him at this moment.
The head guard was a Hu people from Yuezhi Hu, named Chier. After being defeated and expelled by the Huns in the early Han Dynasty, some of the Yuezhi people migrated to the west, while some of them entered the Hehuang Valley and mixed with the local Qiang people, and derived a Yuzhi Hu tribe, also known as Yuezhi Hu.
The land of Liangzhou is mixed with Qiang and Hu. Not only are there many wars between Qiang and Han people, but there are often conflicts between Qiang and Hu people due to many things such as water, grass, livestock, and even large-scale wars. As a tribe of the Yuezhi Hu, there are frequent structures between the Qiang tribes, and the Qiang tribes. This is why the Han people need to win over these mixed Hu people.
The cavalry of the Yuezhi Hu was brave and good at fighting. Since the beginning of this dynasty, Deng Xun, the captain of the Qiang Husband, has relied on the power of this Hu cavalry to suppress and wipe out the rebellious Qiang tribes. The generals under Dong Zhuo were almost all from the border areas of Liangzhou, and Hu and Han lived in mixed places, and did not have a deep prejudice against these aliens like some of the literati and officials in the Central Plains. As long as they fought bravely, they would give titles and money rewards to win the hearts of the Hu people.
This Yuezhi Hu people, whose name is Chier, are not only brave in fighting, but also good at catering to Niu Fu's wishes. Therefore, Niu Fu regarded him as a confidant and placed him as a personal guard. The Hu people in the Mihu tribe originally had no surnames, and they all directly took the tribe as their names. However, they followed the local customs, Niu Fu gave him a surname of "Hu", so he was also called Hu Chier.
Hu Chier was upset when she saw Niu Fu and was drunk and playing swords. She knew that at this time, if he and his rude military men came forward to persuade him, Niu Fu, who was depressed and unable to vent his feelings, was also possible to assassinate several personal guards in anger.
He was so smart that he didn't want to touch Niu Fu's bad head at this time, but it was not a good thing to put the Lord and General there drunken swords. If Niu Fu accidentally hurts him, the blame will eventually fall on his personal guards.
He turned around and said to a guard:
"Go, go and find the master. At this time, only he can persuade the general!"
After hearing Hu Chier's words, the guard nodded, quickly spread his legs, and ran out. Hu Chier and other guards looked at Niu Fu, who was still sitting in the hall holding a sword, holding a crazy laugh, frowned, but did not dare to make any noise, alarmed Niu Fu, who was still drunk, and could only surround him outside the hall and look at Niu Fu nervously in the hall.
After a while, the guard who was out brought an old witch in a witch robe. The witch and her charming female disciples were the masters Niu Fu favored in the army. In addition, the people in Liangzhou believed in divination, so even if they marched to attack the thieves, Niu Fu still carried them in a carriage and brought them with him so that they could ask them for divination at any time.
Of course, there are rumors in the army that Niu Fu always took this old witch and her female disciples with him, not to use the good or bad luck for divination, but to use this as an excuse to keep the charming female disciples by his side, and use it for fun in his spare time in the army.
As Niu Fu's personal guard, Hu Chier naturally knew the inside story of these things. The reason why he was attracted by Niu Fu was because he had the consciousness of keeping his mouth shut.
At present, there is only an old witch who is a master. She does not follow her female apprentices who are charming and seductive, but often cover their faces with veils and do not show their true faces.
The old witch was shocked when she saw Niu Fu playing the sword in the hall while drunk, but her face was covered with a black veil, so Niu Fu's personal guards could easily see the faint expression on her face. She quickly calmed down, dispersed the guards guarding at the door of the hall, and entered the hall alone.
"General, General Niu!"
The old witch tiptoed to Niu Fu, and looked at Niu Fu, who was laughing wildly, wizarding the sword in his hand, and turned a blind eye to himself who came to him. The old witch was a little anxious and couldn't help but shout at Niu Fu.
"Who, who is calling me, what's wrong, what happened? Could it be that the city was broken?"
Niu Fu was drunk, his hair bun had already spread out, his hair was disheveled, and his eyes were blurred, and he couldn't see who the person was. He just heard someone calling him in a hurry, and a trace of clarity passed by in his mind. He soon thought of the Baibo bandits besieged the city.
"Hurry up, help me up. I am a general of the Han Dynasty. I have 100,000 soldiers in Luoyang. How can I beg for mercy to these bandits easily? Help me up quickly. I can still fight. I want to fight with them!"
The old witch saw Niu Fu's infatuated and chaotic appearance, and there was no image of being majestic and moderate in front of the soldiers. She sighed, lowered her body helplessly, and helped Niu Fu, who was drunk on the ground, up with difficulty.
Finally, with the help of the old witch, Niu Fu, who stood up again, separated the hair in front of him and finally saw the wrinkled face with full of wrinkles and wrinkled face, and his pupils with a strange color.
"It's-you!"
Niu Fu pushed the old witch away. Although his tongue was knotting and his voice was difficult, he still said two words. However, the old witch's brows still frowned. In the past, Niu Fu always respectfully called her "Master and the Master". Now he has suddenly changed his name, and his tone is not good in his words, which makes the old witch feel an ominous premonition.
However, Niu Fu is currently drunk, not as if he is deliberately doing it. The old witch figures out this and approaches Niu Fu again, trying to talk to him in a gentle tone.
"You, go away, I just listened to you and you, and led my troops to fight Baibo Valley. Now that Duke Nai has lost the battle, even the city is surrounded. What do you think?"
When Niu Fu marched to attack Baibo Valley, although he won many battles and the Baibo bandits were defeated at once, it was because of the large number of bandits and their own troops were insufficient. Niu Fu followed Dong Zhuo for many years and had seen many dangers in the battle formation. He also knew what the outcome of this light army was to advance with few enemies. If he did not break through the Baibo army in one go, to put down the bandits, and make great contributions, he would be defeated by the large number of whitebo bandits relying on it and be defeated by a large defeat.
So Niu Fu, who was suspicious, asked the old witch to give him a divination to see how good or bad the victory or defeat of the attack on Baibo Valley was.
So the old witch divination for him and used his supernatural powers, divination first and then divination, and first divination with yarrow. As a result, the number of yarrows obtained two times was auspicious, and when using divination, he also obtained a great hexagram.
Since the divination was twice and three times, he expressed that this march would definitely be a great victory, Niu Fu believed the old witch's words and no longer hesitated in his heart. He made up his mind to march into Baibo Valley. Even if he saw a heavy army guarding the pass in the valley, he still refused to give up and attacked forcefully, which led to the loss of troops and generals.
After Niu Fu fled back to Linfen City, he also asked the old witch in person, wanting to ask her if there was something wrong with the divination process, which led to his defeat. As a result, the old witch insisted that she had no divination errors. God's will is so mysterious. Just worship God sincerely, and soon there will be a day of victory.
Niu Fu was also relieved because of this, and he specially rewarded many wealth to the old witch, allowing her to concentrate on serving the gods, let the gods feel their sincerity, and spread the news in the city to strengthen the heart of the soldiers guarding the city.
Unfortunately, the so-called old witches were dedicated to the gods with wealth and goods, but they did not get any effect in favor of the war. The bandits outside Linfen City became tighter and tighter, and the bandits outside the city also had a vague plan to lead the Fen River to attack the city. Niu Fu was anxious, but he was trapped in the lonely city and had no choice but to drink to relieve his sorrow.
He also had deep doubts about the old witch who had always favored her and her female disciples. So today Niu Fu was drunk and took advantage of the alcohol to get up, and was not afraid of the devil's words and deeds of the gods who were guilty of the crime on weekdays, so he directly questioned the old witch.
The old witch heard Niu Fu's cold questioning, and couldn't help but complain in her heart. How could she know that the sturdy general in front of her was so incompetent that she could defeat a group of unknown bandits and be surrounded. If she could know this in advance, she wouldn't dare to encourage Niu Fu to enter Baibo Valley.
However, the situation in front of us is becoming increasingly unfavorable. If you want to save your life, you still have to bite to death and make no mistakes in divination. Otherwise, it would be hard for the old witch to imagine how he would be tortured to death by these angry military men.
Looking at Niu Fu, who was no longer as respectful as usual, the old witch girl was afraid that he would talk nonsense or get angry and do something that was not good for her. She simply made up her mind, stretched out her wrinkled claws, grabbed the wine jar with some cold wine left on the ground, muttered something, and suddenly she suddenly burst into spring thunder and shouted.
"The evil spirit, why don't you retreat quickly!"
