Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 458 Anger
The sun shines above Hecai Town. The military camp outside the city has swept away the cobwebs and moved in strangers. The army coming from the west has built another large camp to live next to it. The soldiers who have been traveling for many days can rarely relax a little and take off their clothes. There were people wearing armor and holding spears in their arms, talking in groups. Someone was leading the horse to the rear. The flags were blown by the wind, and dust was blowing on the dry ground.

In the large tent of the Chinese army, the sergeant on duty stood five feet away. The curtain that was fluttering in the wind was opened, and Liu Guangguo, dressed in military uniform, walked in. Just now, a soldier came to report, and there was a man named Yu Dajiang. The general arrived, and his father had been losing his temper. He came here to see what happened to make his father angry.

bang-

The majestic-looking helmet fell to the ground, rolled twice, and stopped at Liu Guangguo's feet with a clang. The young Liu Guangguo scratched his face, looked at his father who was pacing angrily, leaned over to pick it up, and walked away. There was a shelf with armor hanging on the side: "Why is father so angry? But something happened in Daming Mansion along the way. Will it be too late?"

The outstretched arm placed the iron helmet on the shelf.

"Coming late?" Liu Yanqing turned around with a livid face, waved his arms and shouted angrily: "I would rather these birdies who grew up eating excrement come late."

He turned around quickly and pointed at his eldest son: "Do you know what that idiot from Daming Mansion said to the Sa family when he came over?"

Liu Guangguo smiled bitterly and shook his head.

The father's hand on the other side was pointing at the outside of the tent: "Come here and tell me, Daming Mansion, the more than 20,000 horse infantry soldiers were attacked by Liangshan cavalry and defeated!"

"More than 20,000 people!" He stretched out his two fingers and turned to his son, whose eyes were wide open. "Even if I put armor on 20,000 pigs, I wouldn't be beaten so quickly by a group of bandits and bandits." Destroy!"

Hatefully, he walked behind the table and sat down. He panted and looked at the inkstone, paper and pen on the table. "Hey——" he stretched out his hand and swept all the things off the table. He patted the table and said, "I must do it." Take a look at Liang Shijie's book, what kind of birdmen are they sending out! They are worse than new recruits!"

"Father, calm down, calm down." Liu Guangguoqiang calmed down, stepped forward, picked up the things on the ground and put them on the table. He hesitated and asked, "I wonder if there is anyone else on the road to Daming Mansion?"

"Humph--"

Liu Yanqing slammed the table with a bang: "There's a bird man here! All of them are dead! Wen Da is dead, Wang Huan is dead, and Jing Zhong is dead too!"

"That...that..."

Liu Guangguo felt a chill rising from his tailbone to his back. Even though he was calm, he had never encountered such a situation before. He murmured: "Father, what should we do now?"

"What to do?" Liu Yanqing repeated with a groan, took a deep breath to hold in his breath, and then spat out: "Send someone to notify Xiang Jiedushi and Yang Jiedushi to move closer to the Sa family. The two of them There are not as many soldiers as Daming Prefecture, and they are not familiar with the terrain here. Don't let the bandits seize the opportunity to annihilate them in the wild. Then send people north to find Sun Tiha of Dengzhou and ask him to quickly go south to Xucheng to garrison and wait for the water of Dengzhou. division."

The sitting figure stood up and took two steps with his hands behind his back: "In addition, I will personally notify Erlang and ask him to come back quickly, and transfer Guan Sheng to escort the grain and grass."

Then he snorted: "Didn't the Minister say that this person is highly skilled in martial arts and can command the army well? Then I think he is more than enough to escort the grain and grass. I don't think anything will go wrong. By the way, we will also send out the Jingchao."

Guan Sheng and Jingchao, the two people recommended by the Prime Minister to the Prime Minister, have always been difficult to deal with. Liu Yanqing knew that the two Prime Ministers were a little awkward at this time, and the wife had objections to him, but she did not dare to deny the Prime Minister any face. Once he was remembered by the old husband, Liu Yanqing didn't think that his small body could bear it. His achievements in escorting food and grass would be accounted for, and his wife would agree to such an allocation. As long as you don't let others get ahead of you, you can do whatever you want.

Over there, Liu Guangguo saw his father's instructions, and he had some vague understanding. He immediately agreed, turned around and left the tent. Not long after, more than a dozen riders ran out of the camp, moving quickly in two directions, one south and one north.

……

There were no clouds in the sky, and birds flew across the sky and into the woods.

At the waterfront between Yuncheng and Shouzhang, the Liangshan military camp has been expanded. Deer antlers and horse stakes are erected outside, and trenches are spread all over the gate. Each watchtower is covered with wet mud for protection, and there are archers holding crossbows. Standing at the back, looking out with a solemn expression.

Flags with black backgrounds and red edges were fluttering in the wind. They were located in the Chinese army's tent. The tall Lu Bu was sitting behind the table. He did not beat the drum to raise the tent today. He just called Xiao Haili over and asked about the horse army's return. Something about taking a break.

"We can fight at any time." The bald Khitan man patted his chest and said, "The horse army now numbers 1,800 plus the leader's bodyguards. It won't be a problem to fight him all the way."

"I'm afraid it's too late."

Lu Bu shook his head and stretched out his hand to put the information in front of him: "There is news that the main force of the Song army arrived at Hecai Town yesterday and can go north at any time, while his other army in the south has just passed Jinxiang and is far away from Jinxiang. It's a bit far away. If we get the news and make preparations, we'll be dragged south, which will be detrimental to the war." He tapped the table with his fingertips and looked at the strong man over there: "What are the preparations over there, Yao Gang?"

Xiao Haili scratched his head: "I went to see it, everything is fine, but the number of people is a little smaller."

"The troops are good, not too many." The face behind the table smiled: "Let each department prepare, the war is about to begin."

"Chief, do we have to guard here?" The Khitan man was a little unwilling. He glanced at Lu Bu behind the table and scratched his head: "There is no place for us to race here."

"Young master, you are so arrogant." Lu Bu glared at him, and Xiao Haili immediately screamed loudly, waved his hand to shut him up, and continued: "There is no reason for the cavalry to defend the camp. Leave this to the infantry and military advisors. Go Gather the soldiers who can still fight, and when the Song army comes up, it will be the day we set out."

"Yes."

……

Late spring.

After receiving the order, Xiang and Yang couldn't help but burst out crying. They didn't have much friendship with Jing Zhong, but they talked and played with Wang Huaneng. At this time, they knew that this old man was killed by thieves. , couldn't help but feel sad and angry, and vowed to make Liangshan look good.

They all urged their soldiers to rush to Hecai Town to join the main force.

……

North.

A total of more than 8,000 infantry and horse troops slowly entered the ground of Yunzhou. Flags were fluttering and the army was winding like a snake. The yellow-faced governor took a breath while looking at the documents that were delivered to him.

"Hello, Daming Mansion is gone all the way at this time?"

"Go back to Tijia." Marquis Yu, who came to deliver the order, cupped his hands and said, "It's absolutely true. I also learned about it from the Commander-in-Chief."

"There are so many people in Xidi?"

The shocked expression was still unbelievable, and the figure opposite pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.

"...That's all."

Putting the document into his arms, the man with a yellowish face looked at the man and said, "Sun Li will naturally abide by Commander Ji's orders."

That Yuhou nodded: "You can still return to Jieshuai at such a young age."

"Why are you so eager?" Sun Li twitched the corner of his mouth and made a smile: "Let's go south to Xucheng with the army first, rest for a while and then return."

The Marquis Yu was tired, and he nodded when he heard the words: "Then thank Tiha for his kindness, and I will follow you for the next two days."

In the sky, a goshawk flew over, its sharp cry resounding throughout the sky. They watched the army continue to march towards the hilly areas.

　I forgot that Gao Shixuan was mentioned in the previous chapter. When the Song army attacked Yancheng, Liu Yanqing sent his troops to go with Gao Shixuan and Guo Yaoshi, and ordered Liu Guangshi to lead his troops as backup. Guo Yaoshi and others invaded Yancheng and fought with the Liao army in the streets. Because Liu Guangshi did not arrive on time, Generals Guo and Gao Er lost their support, Pharmacist Guo retreated, and Gao Shi declared his death in battle.
