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

Chapter 670: Ambusting Murder Intent

After passing the Hangu Pass, it is the jurisdiction of Guanzhong Hongnong County.

Lu Bu inspected along the way, and found that the local people were miserable. This year, they suffered severe drought and locust plagues. They had no food harvest, and lived by digging and eating wild vegetables and grass roots. Their lives were extremely difficult.And what about the imperial court?At this juncture, not only did not reduce the burden and provide relief, but intensified the collection of taxes, causing a large number of people to sell their land and become displaced.

If this continues, the people will be forced to death by the court before they starve to death!
Really hateful!
The oncoming wind is like a heat wave rolling in.

Summer is hot and insects are noisy.

Especially when he saw the famine and starvation of the people on the way, the restlessness became more and more irritable.

Therefore, along the way, Lu Bu executed nearly a hundred county magistrates and noble gentry who were known as the misfortune, and confiscated all their property and used it to help the local people.

Shaking his clothes that were stuck with sweat, Lu Bu unscrewed the water bag and filled two mouthfuls, then asked the young man leading the horse and carrying the halberd, "Wen Ji, where are we?"

"My lord, we have just left Hongnong, so we should have entered Zuo Fengyi's territory." The young man who was privately known as the 'Halberd Carrier' turned his head and grinned, and did not forget to wipe the big hair on his forehead with his hands. Khan, obviously too hot.

After Zuo Fengyi is Jing Zhaoyin, and the territory of Jing Zhaoyin is Chang'an.

Lu Bu nodded slightly, despite the fact that Zuo Fengyi and Jing Zhaoyin are adjacent to each other, according to their marching speed, they still have to walk for ten and a half months.

Back when he was young, Lu Bu must have left the team and rushed home one by one.But now that he has become the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he can no longer act according to his heart in many things like before.

"There is a green forest in front of you. Give me an order. Go there and rest for half an hour, get your spirits back together, and then go on your way." Lu Bu ordered on horseback. Marching on a hot day is really a torment, and sometimes it is even more difficult than on the battlefield. Fighting is exhausting.

After the order was conveyed, the dry-mouthed soldiers immediately lifted their spirits, and even the heavy steps under their feet couldn't help feeling much lighter.

The forest is very large and lush.

The cicadas chirping on the branches are still disturbing.

Fortunately, the trees in the forest are luxuriant enough to cover the scorching and venomous sunlight. Occasionally, a ray of light falls on the ground through the gaps between the branches, making the shadows mottled, but it is not so hot.

Lu Bu rode ahead on horseback, looked around the situation, and after confirming that there was no danger, he made a gesture to stop the march, indicating that the soldiers could find a place to rest.

Guo Jia let go of the rein, but he was not in a hurry to get off the horse. He took out the wine gourd first, and then poured it into his mouth after he had finished drinking himself.

When he was leaning back on the horse, a light flashed on the slanted upper corner of the forest, dazzled his eyes.

In an instant, a flash of lightning flashed through Guo Jia's mind. Without any hesitation, he stretched out his hand and pushed Lu Bu's shoulder, and suddenly shouted: "Get out of here!"

After the words were finished, a burst of feathered arrows shot rapidly resounded.

call out!call out!call out!
call out!call out!call out!
Lu Bu, who was pushed off his horse, rolled on the ground for two weeks. He grabbed the halberd shaft inserted into the ground, got up and drew out the painting halberd to block the flying arrows.

"Assassins, there are assassins!"

The soldiers who came back to their senses roared loudly, holding up their shields and rushing towards Lu Bu, trying to protect the safety of the lord.

Judging from the density of the arrows, these assassins were obviously aiming at Lu Bu.

With a large number of shield guards, those feathered arrows gradually became less of a threat.

"Gongming, you take people to seal up the entire forest, and don't let anyone go."

"Li Feng, Xue Lan, the two of you immediately bring someone to catch all these bastards for me!"

When everyone panicked, only Zhang Liao commanded calmly.

In less than half an hour, this deliberate assassination was put down.

More than a dozen assassins were captured alive in front of Lu Bu, and they were forced to kneel on the ground by the soldiers behind them.

Of course, the number of people involved in this assassination was far more than this few, and the others were all killed on the spot because they did not cooperate.

Lu Bu sat under the tree, with his legs spread out, his elbows resting on his thighs, his face was not cloudy, happy or angry, as if he was just chatting about trivial matters, he asked, "Who sent you here?"

None of the dozen or so assassins kneeling in a row made a sound.

"It seems that someone doesn't want me to return to Chang'an alive." Lu Bu pouted with a sarcastic tone.

who can that be?

Lu Bu thought for a while, and then a look of disdain appeared on the corner of his mouth. He made many enemies in the court, and most officials feared him like a tiger. Regardless of their respectful appearance, who knows if there is a belly full of bad water hidden in their hearts?
But knowing how to intercept and kill on the way is considered a bit of brains.

Lu Bu looked up at the lush forest, the sunlight was a bit dazzling.His sense of hearing has always been keen, but today, because of the chirping of the summer cicadas on the branches, the sound of the assassins' actions was covered, so he was unable to detect the murderous intention hidden in the woods.

"Prison these people well, and don't let them die easily before the answer is found out."

Lu Bu patted his butt and got up, made a brief explanation with Zhang Liao, and then went elsewhere.

These guys dare to assassinate. It is estimated that [-]% of them are dead men secretly raised by rich families, but since they are still alive, there will always be a way to pry their mouths open.

"Ouch!"

Before approaching, Lu Bu had already heard Guo Jian's cry like killing a pig.

Just to remind Guo Jia, when he pushed Lu Bu, he leaned forward and got hit by a stray arrow in his buttocks. At this time, the accompanying doctor in the army was applying medicine to him.

"Where did that vigor just go? Look at you now, how can you be a bit manly!" Lu Bu approached and scolded in a low voice.

When a man is alive, he stands upright, there is no reason for him to wailing and screaming for a small injury.

Guo Jia saw that Lü Bu was not comforted at all, but even reprimanded him aloud, and retorted protestingly: "You white-eyed wolf, I shot this arrow to save you, if I had known, I should have let you die, You heartless bastard!"

"In my life, I have fought countless times, and I have waded through big rivers and rivers. How could I capsize in this gutter."

As Lu Bu said this, he was actually very grateful to Guo Jia in his heart. If Guo Jia hadn't reminded him in time, he might have died here. Did you see through the discovery?"

Guo Jia rolled his eyes, he just stumbled upon it by accident and discovered it by accident.

"Then how are you sure that it wasn't sunlight that dazzled your eyes?" Lu Bu was puzzled.

For Guo Jia, this question is particularly simple.

He told Lu Bu that the position of the sun can be judged from the angle of light irradiation, and the sun should be in the north by west, not in the south.

Since it is not sunlight, but it can reflect a dazzling inch light, nine out of ten it is the cluster of arrows.

After listening to Lu Bu, he looked up, and it was exactly as Guo Jia said.

From his side, he really couldn't see the direct light.
