The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 17
The enemy general is right in front of me, how can I fall down here?

Holding his last breath in his heart, Cheng Lian moved the spear he was leaning on to the front, dragging his right leg and finally stepped out.

"scoff~"

A long spear easily pierced Cheng Lian's body, from the back to the entire chest, and the scarlet blood fell drop by drop along the shining tip of the gun to the ground.

Cheng Lian froze for a moment, then slowly turned his head, looked at the man on horseback with blank eyes, "Is that you?"

"It's me." The man's eyes were cold, and he looked at Cheng Lian without any mercy.

There was a gentle breeze, and Cheng Lian's heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.

Once upon a time, Wu Chong was Cheng Lian's most trusted confidant, but now he was going to die at his hands, Cheng Lian couldn't figure it out, and asked, "Why?"

Wu Chong sneered, and changed his usual flattery, "Xianbei people can let me take charge of Yunzhong County, but you, can you?"

After Cheng Lian heard the answer, he laughed out loud with blood in his mouth, and then said word by word: "So, you became the dog of the Xianbei people?"

This sentence made Wu Chong furious, and with a flick of the spear in his hand, Cheng Lian's heart was crushed instantly.

Cheng Lian fell to the ground on his back. At this time, he felt that his body was extraordinarily light, as if a gust of wind could blow him away. The clouds in the sky were very white, just like what he had seen when he was a child.

…………

Guhe Village is located in the southwest of Mayi, in a remote location, coupled with the invasion of the Xianbei people to the south, the young and middle-aged people in the village quickly fled completely, leaving only a dozen or so old widows and widows.

After Song Xian and Cao Xing broke through the siege, they fled here with the remaining defeated soldiers. This is also the place where they had made an appointment with Lu Bu in advance.

In the evening, amidst the anxious anticipation of the crowd, they finally saw that tall figure.

Song Xian and Cao Xing hurried forward, one on the left and the other on the right, helping Lu Bu off his horse.

Seeing a trace of paleness on Lu Bu's face, Cao Xing asked worriedly, "Boss, are you okay, are you injured?"

Lu Bu shook his head, his voice was a little weak: "I'm fine, it's just that I'm exhausted, just rest for two days."

Hearing this, everyone's tense hearts suddenly eased a lot.

After a short rest, Lu Bu called everyone together.

At the beginning, there were nearly 2000 soldiers in the Beiguang School's Lieutenant Department, but now there are only less than 600 left. Lu Bu also felt heavy in his heart.

Lu Bu first relayed the news of Cheng Lian's murder to everyone, and told everyone that Wu Chong had taken refuge in the Xianbei people, and he killed Cheng Lian himself.

After everyone heard the news, they were both shocked and angry, and decided to call Wu Chong a "heartless pig, dog and beast".

Lu Bu wanted to rescue Cheng Lian's body, but the Xianbei soldiers kept coming up, and the terrain of the Huangliang Road was rugged, making it not suitable for mounted combat at all. Lu Bu had no choice but to turn around and break out of the siege. Block, I'm afraid it's also folded inside now.

After everyone scolded, someone got up and expressed their worries: "Now we only have five or six hundred people left. What should we do if the Xianbei people find us?"

As soon as this person said this, the soldiers whispered to each other, which sparked a lot of discussion.

"The generals are dead, what else can we do?" The person who spoke was a rough man who was currently a centurion.

The only remaining army Sima in the team also expressed his opinion: "Why don't we choose a new leader first, and after we return to Yanmen Pass, Old General Zhang will decide."

"That's a good suggestion, I agree." Some people raised their hands in agreement.

"Well, I agree too."

"That's a good way."

The proposal was quickly endorsed by everyone, but another question arose, who should take up the new leadership position.

Everyone turned their attention to Lu Bu in unanimous agreement. If it wasn't for Lu Bu's subordinate Song Xiancao Xing who led them to fight to the death, they would have been with Huang Liangdao's lonely ghosts by now.

Coupled with Lu Bu's unparalleled bravery, he naturally became the best candidate.

Hou Cheng, Wei Musheng and other dozens of people also looked at Lu Bu with burning eyes. They were different from other soldiers, but everyone who participated in the battle of Pingfengkou had an almost blind admiration and trust for Lu Bu.

Hypocrisy and procrastination have never been in Lu Bu's character. Under the expectations of everyone, Lu Bu nodded in response, and instantly won the cheers of the soldiers.

A waning moon hung high in the sky, and there was a sense of sadness in the cold moonlight.

Lu Bu looked up at the sky, and said to the soldiers huddled around the bonfire: "It's getting late, and everyone is exhausted, why don't you rest first, we'll discuss things tomorrow, and the Xianbei people probably won't be able to find it here for a while. Come."

Everyone took orders and returned to the tents they had set up.

Lu Bu called Cao Xing and Song Xian again, and asked him to take turns to watch the night with 20 people, just in case.

Cao Xing made a simple count of the number of people in the army and reported it to Lu Bu. There was only one military commander left, three military marquises, seven centurions, and a total of 530 eight soldiers.

Lu Bu frowned slightly, the current situation is not optimistic.Cao Xing reported that there were still many wounded in the strokes of the soldiers, and the number of those who were truly capable of fighting was at most 300. Once they encountered Xianbei people, they would be in trouble.

At Yinshi, the soldiers in the camp were sleeping soundly, and the surrounding area was very quiet, except for the occasional rustling of footsteps.

Cao Xing opened his mouth full and yawned, patted his mouth twice with his hands, and said to the soldiers following behind him, "Cheer up and keep your eyes bright."

The soldiers who were watching the night behind him responded in unison.

At this time, Song Xian brought a group of soldiers over and just met Cao Xing.

Song Xian stepped forward and said to Cao Xing, "It's time to replace me, go down and rest."

Cao Xing was already sleepy, and he didn't show politeness to Song Xian. He yawned and said, "Then I'll leave it to you. I'll go to sleep first, but I'm so sleepy."

Song Xian nodded, indicating that Cao Xing could withdraw.

Cao Xing personally sent his soldiers back to their respective tents before preparing to return to camp.This is what Lu Bu taught him. There is no difference between people. If you want to win the respect and support of others, you must first learn to put others in your heart.

Cao Xing's residence was in the far west, and when he passed by Lu Bu's camp, Cao Xing saw that there was still light in Lu Bu's tent.

Cao Xing was very puzzled, he gnawed his fingers and thought to himself: The boss is not sleeping this night, could it be that he is practicing some kind of unrivaled martial arts?
No, I have to wait and see, when the time comes, I will learn how to deal with you Song barbarian.

Cao Xing thought of this in his heart, and suddenly he was full of energy, without any sleepiness.Tiptoing to Lu Bu's tent door, Cao Xing raised his hand and carefully opened a gap, then moved his eyes close to it.

Under the flickering candlelight, Lu Bu was kneeling and sitting in front of a simple wooden desk, with his left hand resting lightly on the table, and his right hand holding a scroll of bamboo slips.

Cao Xing rubbed his eyes in fright as if he was hitting a ghost. The man who once burned the bamboo slips and books in the house actually started to flip through the books now!
