Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 214 People

"Master Jun, Lord Jun, that's money from the old man's son to marry his daughter-in-law, you can't take it."

"Damn it, that's my only old hen, give it back to me..."

Under the bright sky, the villagers in shabby clothes stretched out their hands to grab the figure of Fei Yi. The family members behind cried and rushed forward, pulling with the sergeant, tearing and crying. The ground, the forehead hit somewhere, blood flowed all over the face immediately.

"mother……"

The young and strong man got angry and flew over to fight with the soldiers. He was knocked to the ground by the scabbard of the companion who came after hearing the sound, and then the old man who staggered up with a cane was also kicked over.

"Hurry up, Commander Shen is still waiting."

In this unnamed village, different people are performing the same thing everywhere, and the usually honest villagers are completely unable to stop the sergeant's robbery.

The location of the entrance of the village, where the large cart "borrowed" from the village was parked, and the slightly valuable items and dry food broilers "found" were piled up on the cart. The heavy objects made the cart sink a bit. Shen Cha stood aside and looked at these treasures with disdain, touched his chin with the hand holding the hilt of the sword, thinking about the possibility of going to another place.

get it-

The rushing sound of horseshoes came, and the attracted people turned their heads to look, and saw the light dust flying in the distance, and the five knights came rushing forward, and the sharp-eyed people could already see the anxious look on the rider's face , and the yellow triangular flag on the back.

"Zhiniang thief, this Yizhou government official is really stingy. He came here to help and desperately not let him make a small fortune."

Shen Cha kicked the wheel hard, and seeing the five riders coming up to him, the knight on top jumped down and clasped his fists: "Commander Shen, the supervisor, please follow the army as soon as possible."

"I know, I know." Shen Cha waved his hands again and again with an impatient expression on his face, "Let's start now."

The sergeant bowed his head and said: "Commander, the order of the Governor is to let me return with you, please don't let the little one make it difficult."

"Hey~ You posted it." Shen Cha was amused, but thinking about it being an away game at this time, it's not good for a bird, so he had to send people back: "Let those bastards come back, shit, it's a bit of oil and water No."

The people behind responded immediately and rang the golden gong. Not long after, more than a hundred sergeants came over cursing and throwing the goods in their hands onto the car one by one.

Shen Cha watched the pots, pans and pans piled up on the car with a gloomy expression, and saw a fool who wanted to put an old fence on it, his face turned red suddenly, he took two steps forward and threw them on the ground: "The pickled idiot , don’t take such worthless things, you have no brains, what are you thinking stupidly all day long!”

He glanced at the car again, kicked the wheel hard again, turned around and got on the horse, and shouted: "What are you doing in a daze, let's go!"

After all, when he kicked the horse's belly, the horse's hooves were gentle, and he went first.

A group of sergeants looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. Someone jumped on the shaft of the cart, swung the whip, and made a crisp sound. The animal pulling the cart shook its head and stepped forward, while the sergeants behind were lined up tightly. Keeping up, it's just a group of people hooking their shoulders and walking crookedly, looking more like strong men who rob houses.

……

"drive--"

The sound of hoofbeats sounded on the mountain road, and Liangshan scouts in twos and threes rode horses quickly towards the mountain. The wind blew through the treetops, and the canopy swayed with rustling sounds, as if welcoming the return of the scouts.

"Report—the officers and soldiers have passed Lanshan Mountain and are heading towards Luchuan." The dusty scouts brought the latest movements of the officers and troops.

"It's been hard work, let's go take a rest first." Xi Sheng lay down on the Kanyu map and marked it, and the scouts below turned around and went out with fists in their hands.

"The officers and soldiers are walking very slowly." Xie Ning, who was also staring at the map, touched his chin, then raised his eyes to look at the deviated sun outside: "If this continues, he won't be able to reach Luchuan until evening, but this Aren't you making trouble?"

"It must have been a good thing done by the magistrate." Xi Sheng straightened up, clapped his hands twice and said, "He didn't set off until today's time. He really treats marching and fighting as a trifle."

When Xie Ning heard the words, there was sarcasm on his face: "This kind of idiot can also lead the army, it is really sad for our generation of warriors."

"Using literature to control martial arts, people with all-round talents in civil and military affairs such as Kou Laigong are in the minority." Xi Sheng said, his expression was a bit complicated. The Song Dynasty's defense against warriors can be seen clearly. The literati were either imprisoned or demoted. During this period of time, they changed their minds and looked at it, and they became more and more disappointed with the court.

Xie Ning nodded with emotion, looked at the picture and said, "That's right, brother is going to wait for him to hit him halfway?"

"No, this time my brother intends to let me wait for the battle first." Xi Sheng made a joke, walked to the side and sat down: "Since the establishment of the cottage, my brother has led the cavalry to fight everywhere, but the infantry has rarely been used. At that time, if things go on like this, it is no different from being in the army, so my brother wants to use this Yizhou Prefecture to train soldiers, see blood, and save when he needs to use it in the future, but he is still like these wastes at the bottom of the mountain."

Xie Ning lifted his spirits, and his expression was inexplicably excited: "Yeah, is it useful for me this time?"

"Naturally." Xi Sheng nodded, and looked at Xie Ning a little funny, but he could empathize with him. As a leader who trains all day, it is really boring and exhausts his ambition: "Brother Qi Zhan Wushuang, we wait for the infantry You can't lose your brother's prestige."

"It's natural." Xie Ning was in high spirits, and said: "I'll go and tell my son-in-law to take a look at my defensive wall by the way, so don't make any mistakes in the battle."

Turning around and going out, Xi Sheng greeted from behind: "Help call Di Lei and E Quanzhong, they should be on the other side of the wall."

"got it."

Xie Ning turned his back and waved his hands, walking away, Xi Sheng shook his head, smiled, then looked down at Kanyutu and rubbed his chin to ponder.

After a while, Di Lei and E Quanzhong walked into the hall, and the voice of discussion rang out.

……

The sky slanted down from the blue sky. Occasionally, a white cloud floated over to cover it, and then it was blown away by the wind. The bird fluttered its wings, as if aware of something, flapped its wings in panic, folded aside, and disappeared into a forest.

On the quiet and cozy field, the ground vibrated slightly. A field mouse jumped out of the cave and poked its head out. The iron hoof stepped on its left side with the sound of the wind, and hurried back into the cave in fright.

In the smoke and dust brought up by the horseshoes, more cavalry galloped past, rolling up even bigger smoke and dust, whistling along the way. At a certain moment, the forward figure pointed, and then the team turned and headed towards a nearby village.

Iron hooves trampled across the ground, and the rumbling sound came from far and near, but the people in the village sat on the ground ignoring them. The moment the sound of hooves stopped, the slow-moving horseshoes made a clear "de" sound, Lu Bu Let the red rabbit move forward slowly, looking at the ashen-faced villagers, and then at the messy house beside him, he could hear crying in his ears, and his brows frowned slightly.

In the rear, a tall figure on a horse blocked the sunlight. The young man with his head down raised his head to look at the knight on the horse, then slowly turned his head to look around, and said in a shy voice, "Why do you do it again? We It's not easy to be robbed."

Yao Gangfang showed a puzzled look on his face. He looked down at his armor, then at the knight's clothes behind him, then turned his head to look at the man and said, "Man, what are you talking about, why are you doing it again? You can see Are other officers and soldiers here?"

"It's not you guys, Chi Lao..."

The young man stood up abruptly, his face flushed with anger, when an experienced villager saw him, he rushed over and grabbed his wrist, pulled him behind him and shouted, "Shut up! Be quiet!"

While the young man kept his mouth shut, he turned his head, forcefully forced a smile and said, "Don't be annoyed, Mr. Jun, he is clumsy and can't speak, so don't be as knowledgeable as him."

Lu Bu turned his gaze in front of him, and the man continued: "The military master came just now, we have already donated the valuables, and we will give you all the treasures that we really don't have. I hope the military master will see clearly."

Yao Gang and the others heard the words and looked up at Lu Bu in front, the figure riding on the red rabbit bowed slightly, and looked down at the villagers below: "I'm just tired from the journey, so don't think too much about it. "

"This..." The villager breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, but he still wanted the plague gods to leave here quickly: "Mr. Jun, it's not that we don't want to. It's just that the previous Mr. Jun was too..."

Looking at the messy courtyard inside the fence, and the crying that could be heard clearly, he sighed: "It's too 'enthusiastic', we can't stay here if we are in a mess. Let's go, there is a village five miles ahead, so why don't you go there for a night?"

"Nothing!" Lu Bu flung his cloak and got off the horse, leading the red rabbit to the man and said, "I'll pay you guys later, and besides, I'll bring dry rations, and you don't need to wait for rations."

Glancing at the people around him, and then at the villagers, he knew that this group of people had been looted by the Song army. He fixed his eyes and said, "The people wearing scarlet clothes may not all be officers and soldiers. Maybe some I can help you wait to clean them up."

The mature man's face changed slightly, and then he lowered his head to think for a while, but the reckless young man behind him was a little confused, and pushed the person in front of him: "What are you talking about, what does he mean?"

The man ignored him, just stretched out his hand and said: "Since you are here, please speak here."

Lu Bu nodded, signaling the cavalry behind to dismount. The villagers who were secretly watching this side were a little panicked during the simultaneous movements. different."

The old man ignored him, and said to Lu Bu, "The village is not big. There is an ancestral hall in the east, and a Taoist temple built by the villagers in the north. There are no Taoists. They are just for the people in the village to have sustenance. Both places are fine. Arrange for your subordinates, and my house is quite big, so it's not a problem to accommodate some people."

Looking at the cavalry at the back, the man lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "There are still a few houses that may not be able to live in, I'll go and talk to you, they should be able to agree to live in."

"Man, do you trust us just like that? Are you afraid that we will rob you again?" Yao Gang put his iron helmet on his head and looked at the man curiously.

The man smiled uglyly and said: "I'm a little scared, but I'm not stupid, if you want to grab it, you've already started it, besides..."

Glancing at Lu Bu in front of him, "The general in front said he would give money, and he doesn't look like that kind of vicious person. I'm willing to believe it."

Lu Bu looked back at him when he heard the words, and couldn't help but smile: "You can talk."

He nodded with his hands: "Forget it, whoever you are waiting for brings money, pay the accommodation first."

Du Po and the others also smiled and shook their heads, reaching out to rummage through their bodies, but each of them brought some broken silver and gave them together.

The villager took the hands, saw many of them, and smiled a little more sincerely: "In this way, I can rest assured that you will not harm us, and come with me, and I will take you to the people in the village."

Everyone laughed and led the horses into the village.

……

As the sun goes west, the sunset glow in the sky and the river in Luchuan form a single piece. As the vanguard of the army, Wan Fuxiong has the responsibility to open roads in the mountains and build bridges in the water.

When the army arrived, the five pontoon bridges had already been erected, Wan Fuxiong was building a camp, the army behind hurried across the river, Huang Kui shouted, and when it was getting dark, a military camp had already been built.

At the big tent of the Chinese army, Gao Feng sat in the tent today, looking at the rough faces of the next general, Huang Kui, and others, he was a little tired, but now he was approaching the bandit camp, thinking of the previous defeat, he felt somewhat frightened, so he had to be patient. He asked temperately: "Huang Dujian, is the night patrol sergeant arranged properly?"

"Go back to your lord, everything is well arranged." Huang Kui bowed and saluted, but his expression was a little hesitant.

At this time, Gao Feng was much more sensitive than usual for his own sake. Seeing his color, he couldn't help but leaned forward and asked, "What's wrong? But someone disobeyed the order? Speak up, and I will support you."

"No." Huang Kui shook his head: "I'm just a little puzzled."

"What's wrong?"

"The lower officer remembers that the bandits had a team of strong cavalry before, and I feel very uneasy when I don't see him today."

Gao Feng let out a sigh of relief, and sat up straight on his back: "Perhaps the thieves dare not go out to fight seeing our army's large number of soldiers and horses."

"This..." Huang Kui tilted his head, his face puzzled: "Something is still wrong. The law of war says: If there is no water, there must be far water. When our army crossed the river, no one came to attack. This matter is very abnormal."

Gao Feng was a little impatient, and waved his hand: "I heard that the thieves are only three or four thousand, and we have nearly ten thousand, twice as many as the enemy, and we are fully armed. How dare a group of bandits come to attack?"

He tilted his body, propped his face with his hands and said: "Last time he couldn't wait to cover the night, and he played tricks to trick the gate of my barracks to succeed in the night attack. Today we just need to guard the gate, and these many soldiers and horses are here. Absolutely nothing will go wrong."

Huang Kui was still puzzled, seeing Gao Feng's impatient face, and what he said made some sense, he could only nod in agreement.

Gao Feng said something to the generals about being careful at night, and then let them disperse.

That night, the people in Yuanbi Village did not go down the mountain to disturb each other, which made Gao Feng more confident. At dawn on the second day, the magistrate, who had finished his breakfast, looked at the energetic general below. -"

The arrow is thrown and rolls in the air.

"I'm going to have lunch on the mountain—"

When the arrow landed, it made a soft sound.

"Yes!"

The sound shook the sky, and the tent trembled.
