Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 143 This is life
The morning sun was just right, and it was warm on the person's body. It seemed to drive away the cold air, and only the white air that came out was telling the coldness of the weather.

Beside the tidal flat, horseshoes trampled into the shallow water. Amidst the sound of rushing water, the army horses carried armored bandits ashore amidst splashes of water. The figure holding Fang Tian's painted halberd raised his front finger , and then the horseshoe moved, and thunder sounded.

……

The line that was supposed to be straight under the sun is now pulling zigzags. The Jeju army is slowly chrysalis like an earthworm. A soldier of the Forbidden Army handed out the weapon in his hand with his mouth twitched, letting the sergeant of the Xiang army hold it. But when there is a refusal, it is just an old punch. The person who was beaten dared not speak out, so he had to obediently help carry it amidst the other party's cursing words.

At the Central Army, Shuai Qi was still marching forward, but the people below saw Yao Gang galloping towards him by the side of the road.

At this time, Sai Cunxiao was really miserable, the iron helmet on his head was nowhere to be found, his face was covered with dust, white and black were washed by sweat, his armor was removed by him in order to hurry, and he was dressed in crimson His clothes were covered with mud spots and dust, one arm was hanging, but he was severely beaten by Niu Gao's mace, and he was talking about the incident of being attacked last night.

"...Because of this, please Huang Shuai make more preparations, this group of gangsters are not kind."

"What are you talking about! Bo...uh..."

Huang An was startled, opened his mouth to shout, and suddenly realized that no one else could hear him. Just as the word "败" uttered a syllable, he swallowed it back abruptly: "There are five battalions of people waiting for you!"

Huang An gritted his teeth and looked at Yao Gang, his eyes almost burst into flames: "Two thousand five hundred people! You should be able to fight for a while even with two thousand five hundred pigs, let alone a battalion of imperial troops! It collapsed in an instant?!"

Yao Gang smiled wryly in his heart, how could there be 500 people? Could it be that the first battalion has lost [-]% of its troops, and even the Forbidden Army Division has also lost [-]%. The five battalions add up to only a little over [-] people. How can there be enough people?It's just that I can't tell the truth about this, everyone can do it, but they can't talk about it in the open, so they can only say: "This...Huang Shuai Mingjian, it is really a thief who took advantage of my unpreparedness when I set up camp. , rushed into the Chinese army desperately, beheaded Zhang Dujian, and chopped off the Chinese army's banner, so..."

"waste!"

Huang An interrupted Yao Gang with a ferocious expression, and pointed at the strong general with a whip: "Left and right, I will take down this man who lost the army, first hit fifty big boards, and after the Liangshan is broken, I will ask the magistrate of Yunzhou to make a decision."

Yao Gang was shocked, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead. Cheng Wanli came from Tong Guan's house. He usually said that he was good-looking and short-sighted about Xijun. It seemed that there was no one who could catch his eye except Xijun. A general like him is like a pig and a dog in his mouth. He scolds him every time he makes a mistake. Many colleagues were assassinated to Qiongzhou.
Immediately knelt down and said: "I also ask Huang Shuai to be kind, the young general is willing to take the crime and make meritorious service."

"What use is there for a crippled man, why don't you take him down?" Huang An was impatient, and ordered the people beside him to do it quickly.

The guards on both sides looked at each other, and when they came over, they were about to push Yao Gang down to enforce the military law.

Unexpectedly, the fighter stood up violently, knocked down one person with one punch, kicked the other person away with another kick, jumped on his horse, and ran away.

"Catch him!" Seeing that Yao Gang dared to commit murder in front of him, Huang An immediately became furious: "Come on, catch him... No, kill him on the spot!"

Amidst the roar, someone chased after him on horseback. The soldiers in the distance heard the noise and saw Yao Gang galloping past first, and then someone followed him on horseback. They were puzzled and whispered to each other.

"Picked and talented, a bastard who can't die, how dare this kind of waste dare to live in the world!"

Huang An looked at the flying horse galloping in the distance, still cursing non-stop.

Seeing this, the confidant behind him smiled wryly and stepped forward and said, "Commander, since this Liangshan has killed and dispersed the Yunzhou army, should we have a long-term plan?"

Huang An was stunned, then nodded and said: "I was confused by that ingenuity, it's extremely, now the situation is that our Jizhou army is alone against Liangshan, we must deal with it carefully, order the army to stop quickly, first defend on the spot, and rush to the rear Yang Zhi, tell him to quickly join the army."

"Yes."

While responding loudly, a messenger rushed out. Not long after, the army, which had been gone for less than two hours, stopped and began to set up camp on the spot. Only the sergeants kept muttering that the order was changed again for some reason.

……

The sun is approaching, and the noon sun is the best time of the day. The sparkling water surface is run over by several boats, breaking into pieces of light spots, and then reconnecting into one piece, continuing to rippling with sparkling waves.

"Array!"

Liu Yuan shouted loudly, then looked towards Du Po, where Liangshan's spies were talking to him, and walked over immediately: "Brother Du Po, why is your face so solemn, but what happened to the officers and soldiers?"

Du Po nodded and said: "There is indeed a change, but the Jeju officers and soldiers are camping there at this time, looking like they are defending on the spot, so strange."

Xie Ning, Song Wan, and Fu Xiang from behind also came over to ask Du Po what to do next, their expressions immediately changed when they heard these words, Song Wan couldn't help but said, "Doesn't this seem to affect brother's plan?"

Xie Ning shook his head: "The battlefield is changing rapidly. I heard from brothers in the village that my brother's use of troops must be rigid and unchanged. There should be countermeasures for this. It is only reasonable for us to think about how to do it."

"Extremely true." Du Po turned his head, looked at the crowd calmly and said, "My brother ordered me to stop the enemy, but now the enemy has stopped there by himself, so I can go and find out the truth, and throw stones for my brother to ask the way. .”

Liu Yuan narrowed his eyes, and a smirk curled up at the corner of his mouth: "Let me be the vanguard. I wonder if there is anyone in Jeju who can fight."

Du Po shook his head, turned on his green-maned horse, picked up the Zhangba Snake Spear and pointed forward: "Don't think too much, you will know when you go."

"It's true." Xie Ning got on his horse and patted the dangling swords: "Let's see what is amazing about the Jingdong's army today."

"go!"

Seeing that everyone got on their horses, Du Po lightly kicked the horses' bellies and walked forward first. Behind them, a group of Liangshan infantry stepped forward and trotted forward. Apart from the dull footsteps, only the sound of armor colliding was heard. .

……

"Stop! I tell you to stop!"

"Damn it, don't run away!"

"The coach has ordered, kill on the spot!"

The sound of hoofbeats and the sound from behind made Yao Gang feel more irritable. Just now, he knocked him down and ran out without thinking about it. Now if he is caught back... no, this is all ordered to be executed on the spot !Straight mother thief, don't let me catch the chance with the surname Huang, or I will kill you!
Thinking about something or not, he turned his head to look at the five or six riders chasing after him, bitter in his mouth, should he turn around and kill him?If this is the case, it will really cut off the way out, what should I do? !
While gnashing his teeth, the man kicked the horse again. The horse had been running all night. Even though it was rushed, it still couldn't run fast. Fortunately, his horse was a good horse and he ran first. People can't catch up for a while.

However, this opportunity has also diminished with the passage of time, and the distance between the pursuers and him is getting closer and closer.

Yao Gang took a peek, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he turned around and tried his best. Although he was seriously injured, his martial arts skills were not comparable to those behind him, and he didn't want to be stained with the blood of his comrades. For that.

Holding the reins tightly with one hand, he controlled the horse to slow down, and heard the sound of horseshoes behind him. The people behind couldn't help being overjoyed when they saw the horses catching up. He tilted up, and immediately turned up from the side again, the uninjured arm grabbed the gun barrel, and then grabbed it and pulled it out.

How could the man in the back stand up to his divine power, his hands were in a burning pain, the spear was already taken away in the bloody mess, Yao Gang swung the spear with one hand, turned around and gave it away, the man was shot in the throat early, turned over and fell down .

"Jian Pocai, I don't care about you and chase after you, I really think I have no temper!"

Amid the yelling, Yao Gang reined in his horse, raised his hand and stabbed another pursuer to death with a spear. When the horse's hooves stamped on the ground, there was a muffled sound of thunder.

Um?How can it be so loud?
Yao Gang was startled, stopped his mount and listened carefully.The pursuers on the opposite side also stopped in a hurry, but they just looked at Sai Cunxiao in horror and did not dare to move.

boom boom-

The dull sound became clearer, and the grass on the ground shook slightly. Yao Gang took a deep breath and looked back. In his sight, a red horse carrying a big man suddenly flashed out from the forest entrance on the left in the distance, and then the second horse, The third... More and more cavalry ran out of it.

Scarlet war horse, purple gold crown, chain armor with animal face swallowing head, and red pole with square sky painted halberd.

How could he be born here... That's right, this is near Liangshan!

After seeing the person in front clearly, Yao Gang's blood turned cold immediately, how could he forget the image of this person in just one night?
"Run!"

He stood there stunned, but the reaction of the pursuers from Jeju on the opposite side was not weak. Seeing this situation, he would not think that it was Pao Ze who came to help, and immediately pulled the reins, several horses seemed to know that their master was impatient, turned around and ran away After leaving, Sai Cunxiao was left alone, his face was cloudy and he didn't know what to do.

"That's it!"

Amidst the murmurs, Yao Gang sighed, lowered the tip of his gun, and closed his eyes.

"stop--"

Shouts sounded, a strong wind hit his face, and the sword and ax in his resemblance had not yet arrived. Yao Gang couldn't help but open his eyes, and saw the man in front of him holding a Fangtian painted halberd, and the cavalry behind him stopped slowly. During the collision, only the panting of the horses was heard, but no one whispered to each other.

This girl is... a bandit? !

Yao Gang was bitter. The group of thieves in front of him was well-equipped, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, and their faces were full of energy. Looking at the eagerness in the eyes of this group of people, it was obvious that they were full of fighting spirit. Such spirit is rare in the imperial army. At least he has never seen it in Yunzhou.

Seeing that Lu Bu was just standing on his horse and watching him without moving, Yao Gang felt agitated in his heart, raised his gun with one hand and pointed at him: "Why don't you do anything? Just sit there and watch?"

Lu Bu's face was strange: "What kind of hands are you moving?"

"Aren't you going to kill me? Come on!" Yao Gang glared, beard and hair all stretched out.

"Who are you, and why did you want to kill me?" Lu Bu's expression became even more strange: "I'm not a person addicted to killing, and besides——"

He glanced at the two soldiers who were stabbed to death on the ground: "You don't seem to be an enemy of a certain person."

Yao Gang opened his mouth when he heard the words, and then closed his mouth again, with a very frustrated and complicated expression on his face, he muttered, "If it wasn't for the death surnamed Huang, I would have to compete with you again."

Looking at Yao Gang over there, Xiao Haili thought of this man, leaned up to Lu Bu and said in a low voice: "Boss, this man is good at martial arts, he almost knocked my sword away from us yesterday."

"Is there such a thing?" Lu Bu glanced at Xiao Haili when he heard the words, thought for a while, then raised his head to look at the killer, as if he remembered who it was.

"Brother, it seems that there is some insider information." Leaning from the side leaned over and whispered: "Why don't you capture this man and torture him?"

After all, a pair of big eyes looked at Yao Gang, and all the big men behind him also looked at him with a smile.

Yao Gang felt cold when he was watched by everyone, and when he saw Lu Bu looking over, he raised his gun with one arm: "What are you waiting for?"

"There's no need to be so troublesome." Lu Bu replied, and gave Yao Gang a meaningful look: "You, a general from Yunzhou, killed soldiers from Jeju, and the government can't tolerate you anymore."

Yao Gang's face turned bitter, and the spear couldn't help but lowered.

"Do you want to follow someone?" The figure holding the halberd took two steps forward on the horse and came in front of Yao Gang: "You should have seen the Jeju Army inform him to wait for what happened yesterday. once."

"I...I can still go back to Yunzhou." Yao Gang didn't refute, but he kept his mouth stubborn and his tone was not very confident.

Lu Bu glanced at him, didn't persuade him, kicked the red rabbit lightly, and the horse walked forward, leaving a sentence in the air: "If you had a choice, you wouldn't talk nonsense with someone just now."

Yao Gang was silent, he really had no choice, if he killed the pursuers, Huang An would not let him go, at this moment the Jeju army could not go back, if Liang Shan defeated the Jezhou army again, it would be a disaster.

Go directly to Yunzhou?The defeat of last night must have spread, and with Cheng Wanli's temper, he would either kill him or assassinate Qiongzhou, and he would still be dead.

If not...

Kill Huang An!
Although there is no way out, at any rate, he can still vent his anger!

……

"Hurry up, the coach orders you to move forward quickly, be careful when you're late!"

"Don't be lazy, hurry up!"

Beside the woods, a food transport team was clamoring forward. The green-faced man was calm on the face, but his heart was abnormally anxious. Such an abnormal military order made him have a bad feeling.

But don't let anything happen!
……

On the distant shore, there was a boat docking beside the woods. Two men in armor, one ugly and one fat, stepped ashore with more than a hundred minions in leather armor and armed with weapons.

"I said don't take shortcuts, you insist on walking towards the reeds, what kind of shrimps and crabs in the water are you, a beast on land, are you dumbfounded this time? Do you know where this is?"

"Hey, don't talk about me, you fat guy. Last time you led the army to come late, and you went astray."

"How can it be the same as me..."

"Shh... don't make any noise, there seems to be some noise!"

Mixing their mouths, the two bad friends stepped out of the woods with their minions on alert expressions. In the distance, a figure pushing a grain cart came into view.

Seeing this, Feng Tai and Wei He looked at each other, and suddenly shouted at the same time: "Kill!"

　PS: In the original book, Yao Gang was afraid of being punished by the Shangguan and chose to fall into the grass, and then he was besieged by several troops from Liangshan and died.
