Lu Bu's Ambition

Chapter 586
On the Guandu battlefield, Lu Bu led his army to storm Cao Ying, while Yang Lin's army in Qingzhou was also in a stalemate with Cao General Nian Gengyao.

Among the rugged mountains, Guan Sheng led [-] soldiers and horses around countless mountains and finally came to a steep mountain forest.

"General Guan, let's make a detour so far. As long as we cross this mountain, we can fight with General Yang's army and attack Nian Gengyao."

In the strange and steep mountains, the air was filled with heat. Guan Sheng looked at the mountains above his head from a distance, and there was no sign of any enemy troops above.

But for some reason, Guan Sheng always had the illusion of heart palpitations. The [-] soldiers behind him marched through the long-distance mountain road, sweating profusely, and some of them had already fallen down in the grass and gasped for breath.

"Order the three armies to rest for half an hour and go up the mountain!"

promise!
The army rested on the spot, and the faces of the [-] soldiers and soldiers were full of exhaustion and weariness. This endless journey in the mountains and forests made the spirit full of exhaustion.

After the army rested, Wu Song, Lu Zhishen, Hua Rong and other generals came to discuss with Guan Sheng one by one.

The generals sat down on a boulder, and the cowhide map was opened to mark their location.

Although his heart was full of uneasiness, when he saw their location, Guan Sheng's face exuded a touch of joy.

"Everyone, we are here now. As long as we can climb over this mountain, it will be a spacious road. An army of [-] is enough to cut off Cao Jun's retreat."

Guan Sheng pointed to the map and said with joy, Wu Song and Lu Zhishen didn't feel anything wrong, even they had already had enough of this humid mountain forest, and they didn't want to stay here any longer.

But Huarong's face was solemn, looking at the steep mountain with his eyes, he couldn't help sighing softly: "If there are thousands of Cao troops guarding the top of the mountain, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to go up."

The speaker had no intention of listening carefully, Guan Sheng finally knew where the uneasiness in his heart came from after hearing this. The terrain here does not need to send a large army to handle it, only one or two thousand soldiers can defend it.

Hua Rong and Guan Sheng looked at each other, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes. After hesitating for a while, Guan Sheng knew that in this rugged mountain forest, it might be too late to take a detour.

Even if they detour to other places, they may not be guarded by Cao Jun. More importantly, they are running out of food, and they can last for half a month at most.

"General, I am willing to attack the mountain for the vanguard!" After comforting the rested soldiers, Yang Zhi, who had a blue mark on his face and looked ferocious, stepped forward and clasped his fists to beg for orders.

In the silent mountain forest, except for the chirping of birds and insects, there were only the whispers of the soldiers. After Guan Sheng looked around, the generals under his command looked at him with sneer.

Under such a sneer, most of the hesitation in his heart disappeared, and Wu Song and Lu Zhishen looked at this group of people with disdain.

There were many contradictions among the generals who were once known as the heroes of the Liang Dynasty. It was fine when they stood on the top of the mountain, but since they joined Queen Wu, the gap in official positions and rewards has widened this contradiction.

Everyone knows Yang Zhi's eagerness for meritorious service, and Yang Ye and other generals who have no relatives in other clans serve Liu Bian of Jiangdong, so there are many gossips in the army.

"Brother, please be safe and don't be impatient, first send soldiers in the army who are good at jumping over mountains to investigate the details."

Guan Sheng tried to persuade him that since factions in the army are divided, of course there are people from their regiment, such as Wu Song, Lu Zhishen, and Yang Zhi in front of him belong to his faction.

The first level of the official ranks crushes people, and it is obvious that Guan Sheng is a commander. Although some generals under his command can't see it, but for the soldiers under his command, Guan Sheng, the chief general, is more majestic, and he also has clear rewards and punishments for this march. The soldiers also admired their generals.

Twenty thousand soldiers and horses hid in the grass to rest, and the banners were put away one after another. Half an hour later, under the swaying grass, hundreds of short and nimble soldiers walked to a place with steel knives in their mouths and iron hooks and flying ropes in their hands. A convenient location for climbing.

bang bang~
The iron hook was thrown onto the mountain rock, and the sharp iron hook rubbed against the rock to create bursts of sparks, and the ropes were stretched straight.

These hundreds of soldiers had steel knives in their mouths, and ropes tied around their waists. They pulled the ropes hard with both arms, and then put their feet on the rocks and began to climb.

Those who were hiding in the grass looked at the group of explorers one after another, holding their breath one by one.

But on the top of the mountain, there are hundreds of pairs of black eyes hiding in the trees and watching coldly.

"General, Qingzhou soldiers have started climbing the mountain."

Someone reported in a low voice, but their general waved his hands slowly and refrained from acting rashly, and said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "I have heard a letter from General Nian for a long time, and the old man Yang Lin in Qingzhou sent tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to sneak into the mountains. It turned out to be these Liangshan bandits."

Let's count new and old grudges together!The leader of the soldiers guarding here obviously knew the Liangshan bandits, and there was a deep-rooted hatred between them.

He was Zhu Biao, who was the only one among hundreds of Zhujiazhuang who escaped from Zhujiazhuang when Liangshan destroyed it, and was thrown into Cao Jun's account. Unexpectedly, he met his old opponent today.

"Command the brothers to be ready, and when the bandit soldiers start to attack the mountain, shoot random arrows at them!" Looking at the bandit soldiers who kept climbing, Zhu Biao's eyes were full of resentment and hatred.

Today he was going to avenge his family, his eyes scanned with hatred, but he didn't see the black man who was thinking about it day and night.

The soldiers on the side were also servants who followed Zhu Biao all the way out, and reported in a low voice: "General, I heard that the black whirlwind Li Kui was hacked to death by the rebels when he was in Liangshan."

The servant's reminder instantly awakened Zhu Biao, who was in hatred, and said in a vicious voice: "It's cheap for this nigger, and I, Song Jiang, will cut off this person's head sooner or later with his own hands."

But it was said that after Liangshan destroyed Zhujiazhuang, Yang Lin in Qingzhou was about to wipe out the bandits, and it was this kind of news that made Liangshan's bandits retreat hastily.

He was able to escape for his life. He originally wanted to go to the Qingzhou Army to avenge his revenge, but he didn't expect that when he first arrived at the Qingzhou Army Camp, he heard the news that the Liangshan bandits were going to join the court.

Immediately, he turned his head away in a fit of anger, and then took refuge in Cao Cao.However, he was full of understanding about Liang Shan's experience.

Liangshan thieves killed each other, especially Wang Ying and Li Kui were abandoned by Song Jiang as voters. Although they concealed it well, it was ridiculed for those who knew it.

What kind of Liangshan hero, under the persecution of the army, did not miss the brotherhood, which is why the Liangshan thieves split.

In a short while, hundreds of ropes were dragged down the steep mountain. Hundreds of soldiers continued to climb, and then tied the ropes around their waists to the solid boulder, and let down the ropes one by one.

Then continue to climb, and the ropes are lowered one after another, forming densely packed ropes for the soldiers behind to climb the mountain.

Ah ~
From time to time there were screams in the silent valley. No matter how agile or how good at climbing soldiers were, they sometimes missed, and some fell from the [-]-meter high cliff because of loose ropes.

The screams and exclamations, accompanied by the sound of the body falling, were like a beautiful sound of nature in Zhu Biao's ears, and he was full of numbness like taking drugs.

　I hope the brothers will be satisfied with the handling between Liangshan~
