Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 3
Liao Kingdom, Nanjing Road, Xijin Mansion, Yuyang.

Since the Qin Dynasty, this place has been located in Wuzhong County, which belongs to Youbeiping County. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, this place was called Yuyang County.It once belonged to Liu Shouguang and Li Cunmao successively. After arriving in the Later Jin Dynasty, Shi Jingtang cut off the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun to bribe Khitan, including Yuyang County of Jizhou.Compared with the establishment of Khitan, also known as Yuyang County, it belongs to Jizhou, Xijin Prefecture, and is the state government.

The sun is rising in the east, and the morning dew hangs on the slightly yellowed leaves, reflecting the crystal light.

More than [-] war horses "splashed" and brought up bursts of mud, and galloped mercilessly towards the city that was already clearly visible in the distance.

A few soldiers guarding the gate saw the galloping cavalry from a distance, at first they couldn't see clearly that they were on guard, but when they got closer and saw them, they hurriedly scolded the people at the city gate to get out of the way.

But after a while, there was the sound of rumbling horseshoes, and a group of people galloped into the city at a fast speed before slowly slowing down, letting the horses carry them towards the prefect's mansion.

In the prefect's mansion.

Countless figures were coming in and out, some with urgent orders and running towards the destination with their legs spread apart, and more people were dealing with the matter at hand in an orderly manner, arguing from time to time because of different opinions.

Yelude stood in front of the map with a serious face, marking something on it from time to time, and giving a few instructions from time to time, and then the attendants standing by the side ran out the door.He is the uncle of Yelu Yanxi, Emperor of the Daliao Dynasty, and the current guard of Jizhou.

Just in this busy season, Caicai's cavalry arrived in front of the prefect's mansion, and everyone got off their horses one after another. The first four young men all had the same curly hair, the middle was shaved and only braids were left on the left and right sides. They had similar faces, but they were born by the same mother. Brothers out.

The four of them gave their horses to the guards behind them, went in and grabbed a scribe and asked, "Where is my father?"

The official was startled, saw the person coming and saluted immediately: "Little prince, the prince is in the study room of the government office."

The four nodded and let them leave, walked quickly to the study, came to the door and saw that the door was closed, raised their hands and knocked on the door: "Father, we are here."

It turned out that these four people were the four sons of Yelu Dezhong, the eldest son Zong Yun, the second son Zong Dian, the third son Zong Lei, and the fourth son Zong Lin.

Yelu was overjoyed, and said, "If you come, don't come in."

The four hurriedly opened the door and walked in, saluting: "Father, long time no see, are you in good health?"

Yelude laughed heavily and scolded: "You bastards, you know how to be polite when you are here. I haven't seen you in the past, so I will salute and say hello to me."

Yelu Zongyun said with a smile: "In the past, the sons were young and never learned etiquette. Now that they have grown up, they naturally have to act according to etiquette."

The other three said in unison: "Yes, father, you have worked hard in the past."

These four were very naughty when they were young, they were active and loved martial arts, they beat countless noble children, Yelu Dezhong and his wife wiped their buttocks for them, this hard work touched his heart.

"Okay." Yelv Dezhong's eyes were moist for a moment, and he suppressed the moisture in an instant, and said in his mouth: "It's good to grow up, hahaha, come, come, as my father, I just want to clear up the bandits in this state." , you waited just in time."

Zong Dian said mischievously: "Father, but you didn't ask us to come, so it's just right."

"Begging for a beating." Yelu Dezhong slapped Yelu Zongdian on the head with his heavy hand, pretending to be angry.

"Hey hey hey."

The brothers laughed happily at the side, and then Qi Qi followed Yelu De and squeezed back to the map.

Yelude stretched out his hand again and pointed to one place and said: "Thieves are quite rampant here, my father intends to start from here."

Yeluzong Yun leaned forward and looked at the words on the map, and murmured, "Yin Machuan?"

……

The sky was getting brighter, and the eagle flew among the clouds, occasionally making two chirps to show its existence.

In the valley, Lu Bu danced vigorously with a spear in his hand, and every move carried a strong atmosphere of the battlefield, simple, direct, and deadly.

Once the rehearsal was over, Lu Bu frowned and stopped, slightly out of breath. Although Fang Tian was not the most skilled at drawing halberds, Lu Bu was also proficient in eighteen martial arts, and he was also proficient with spears.

When distributing weapons last night, everyone asked Lu Bu to choose first as a show of respect. He took the spear and a bow in his hand, and the saber with the scarred face. The strong point in the horse thief's hand is similar to Lu Bu's usual ring head knife, but the ring head at the tail is removed, which strengthens the guard.

What made him frown was that his strength had decreased a lot, and his strength had dropped by at least [-]%. However, the good news was that this body hadn't reached its peak yet, and there was still time to hone it again. The kung fu and skills that have been soaked into the bone marrow are still there, and this body is soft enough, so he can also display his own martial arts.

"Brother is good at kung fu." Deng Fei's voice came from behind Lu Bu.

Lu Bu turned his head without any surprises. He caught a glimpse of Deng Fei walking here when he was practicing martial arts just now, but he didn't want to stop, and he didn't stop until he finished a set of exercises.

"Brother Deng Fei laughed." Lu Bu wiped off the thin sweat on his brow, and said lightly.

The current address of "Brother" made him quite uncomfortable. If he hadn't had the memory of this northern man in his mind and knew that it was a respectful title for the leader of the Jianghu, he would have asked Deng Fei to call him the lord instead.

Deng Fei came over, turned around and took a look, and then said softly to Lu Bu: "As expected, that group of birds really got together and didn't know what to discuss."

Lu Bu's words were full of disdain and said: "A bunch of picky and talented people, those simple thoughts can fool anyone. Hmph! Maybe they are discussing to do it tonight."

"Brother, do you want us to..." Deng Fei didn't finish speaking, but just raised his hand and made a cutting movement.

Lu Bu was a little moved, but after thinking about it for a while, he shook his head and said, "No, killing for no reason at this time is not good for the morale of the army. What I want is a team that can be ordered and banned in the future, not a group of horse thieves who only know how to fear power, and then kill indiscriminately at this time. People's hearts are gone."

Deng Fei hesitated: "What about the safety of that elder brother?"

Lu Bu smiled coldly: "It's nothing more than a chicken and a dog. Even if you let them go together, a certain person can kill them."

Deng Fei smiled wryly. This new acquainted brother had a weird temper, and seemed to ignore the number of people at all.But yes, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes yesterday, I really couldn't believe that people could slash that knife. Naturally, such a person would not take those people seriously.

Deng Fei knows best how hard a human skull is. Don't look at him smashing a human head with an iron chain at every turn, but that is taking advantage of heavy weapons.Besides, smashing and chopping are two different things.If he were to use a knife to split someone's head, Deng Fei thought to himself that he would be stuck in the bone, let alone split the head and the table in half.

Deng Fei thought for a while and said, "Brother, how about I go and attract some people? Those bird chiefs did things unfairly, and many brothers were treated like birds. Today I heard that many people are celebrating his death."

Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "No need, they haven't received any favor from me, and they won't serve me wholeheartedly. Now they surrender only because they have had enough of that old thief's oppression, and they are afraid of my force. Even if they are recruited, they may rebel at any time , besides, the knife behind is the deadliest."

Deng Fei nodded and didn't say any more. He was not in the nature of competition. Since Lu Bu understood the situation and made a decision, he should obey it.

Lu Bu took two steps, then looked back at Deng Fei and said, "How much food do I still have now?"

Deng Fei thought for a while and said: "There is enough food and grass for six or seven days, but the money is gone."

"Enough." A metal-like voice sounded: "Let someone go to the neighboring states to inquire first. After cleaning up these thieves, let the brothers go to make a fortune."

Deng Fei wondered: "Why not smash kilns in Honshu (Note 1)?"

Lu Bu said indifferently: "Rabbits don't eat the grass by the side of the nest yet, and the folks in the village may even buy and sell things from him and others. Don't hurt each other's friendship."

Deng Fei nodded, turned around to leave, suddenly remembered something and said: "Brother, there is one more important thing."

"What's the matter?"

Deng Fei frowned and said: "The brother who just went out to inquire just now came back and brought news that the state has changed a guard, and the new one is the brother of the emperor of Liao. His name is Yelv Dezhong."

"Royal family? Li Wenyou even killed the emperor, a prince is nothing." Lu Bu muttered.

Deng Fei didn't hear clearly: "Brother, what did you say?"

"It's okay." Lu Bu's voice became louder again: "Don't care if he is an emperor or not, we should integrate ourselves first. You only need to do this at night, remember?"

Deng Fei nodded: "But if this is the case, brother..."

Lu Bu raised his hand to stop Deng Fei's words: "Do you remember?"

Deng Fei had no choice but to answer.

Note 1: Refers to attacking the mansions and courtyards of rich people.If it is successfully attacked, it is called "smashing", but if it does not attack and suffers, it is called "no smashing".
