Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

It is Yisi of the twelfth lunar month, the weather is fine, Nanjing, Liao Kingdom.

The sounds of people, carriages and horses were mixed in front of the city gate, and a long and chaotic queue was walking in through the gate. Soon, someone from behind shouted: "The army is entering the city, and everyone else is waiting to get out of the way."

The panicked crowd hurriedly separated. A big man in leather armor walked past arrogantly. Some were pushed to the ground if they walked too slowly. The kind people nearby quickly helped him up and huddled aside, covering the painful part. Watching groups of strong and determined figures walking into the city gate.

Under the banner of General Yelu held high, a general wearing golden armor was riding swaying on his horse. Looking at the panicked eyes of the people on both sides, he hesitated and called to the order: "Give the order, don't disturb the people, otherwise it will be violated." The responsible person is responsible.”

Several messengers nodded quickly, galloped back and forth on their horses, and shouted loudly: "Pass the order of the general who stays behind, don't disturb the people, and those who violate it will be severely punished!"

With shouts and shouts, the arrogant soldiers walked back to the queue boringly, making the civilians next to them feel somewhat reassured.

Not long after, all the troops entered the city and returned to camp. However, the left guard in golden armor quickly ran home with dozens of personal guards. From a distance, he saw his wife standing at the door with her guards and maids. The moment was approaching. , everyone bowed together.

"Welcome King Wei back to the palace!"

"Get up." The man in golden armor jumped off his horse and handed it over to the bodyguard behind him. He walked forward and said to the woman in front with a smile: "Mrs. Xinfeng is waiting at home. My husband is back."

But the woman smiled: "It should be like this. It's hard work for the gentleman to defeat the thieves."

Then the two of them turned inward together and entered the door. The left-behind lady just approached her husband and whispered: "There is a messenger from Yelu Governor waiting in the hall."

The man paused and frowned: "Which one?"

"Yeluzhang Jianu, the governor." The lady still whispered softly.

"Him? Didn't he join the Holy Spirit in the Northern Expedition to the Golden Thief? Why did he send a messenger to look for me?" There was a trace of surprise on the face of the Nanjing stayer: "I haven't seen him get too close to me on weekdays..."

The woman thought for a moment and said softly: "For a few days, my husband has been out leading the army, and he has not been able to see him. So he comes every day just to see his husband. I have been seeing this man in the front yard, and I just asked him I don’t want to say anything, I just want to tell you personally when your husband comes back.”

The man frowned and thought for a moment: "You go back to the back first, and I'll go see what urgent matter he has." Holding the hilt of the sword in his hand, he walked toward the hall, and the guards behind him quickly followed.

This left-behind mansion is quite large. I walked through the wide front yard and passed two wing rooms before entering the hall. There was a young man waiting inside. When he saw the owner of the mansion coming back, he quickly stood up and bowed down: "Young man Yelu, please step down." The army commander, Sha Lubo, has met His Highness the King of Wei."

"Hmm..." He nodded, and the figure in golden armor walked to his seat and sat down. The armor made a slight clanking metal sound, and raised his hand to signal: "What did the Governor send you to do?"

Shalubo looked around, lowered his head and said, "This matter is confidential, please stay away."

The King of Wei at the top frowned, looked at his bodyguards, and then the figure wearing armor and leading soldiers turned around and walked out, and the last person closed the door thoughtfully.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

The messenger swallowed, took out the letter from his arms, lowered his head and presented it: "This is the letter written by the Governor to Wang Shangxun."

The figure at the top frowned, came over to take the letter, shook it open and took a look. He heard Shalubo say, "The Lord Supervisor believes that the current emperor is too licentious, stays away from wise ministers, only knows how to favor treacherous people, and hunts around. He is unwilling to continue to be loyal to the court. He is willing to accept you, King Wei, as the emperor, and only hopes that our Great Liao will last for thousands of years."

The figure in gold armor looked at the letter and pinched his fingers suddenly. Shalubo, who was kneeling below, couldn't see the expression on his face. He raised his head cautiously and said, "I don't know what you, King Wei... do you think?"

"...What do you mean?" He repeated softly, and suddenly let go of the hand holding the letter, and kicked Shalubo in the chest, who was kneeling on the ground. The man immediately flew out unprepared, and slid ten feet away on the bluestone ground. Far away, it hit the door hard.

bang-

The door suddenly opened from the outside, and several alert guards jumped in. They looked at the standing King Wei and then at the man who was kicked down at the door: "Your Majesty..."

"Take it!" The figure in golden armor waved his hand, and several guards drew their swords and forced him to hold him down. The man called King Wei over there came over and looked at him coldly: "Gold Thief Rebellious, many officers and soldiers were defeated. At this time of crisis, Yelv Zhangjianu did not want to be loyal to the country, but rebelled. No matter how unfilial I am, Yelu Chun, I will never cooperate with such a ruthless person! "

Looking at the guard, he took out the token and threw it over: "Pull him out and chop him, hang his head on the city wall, and send someone to inform the Holy One that Zhang Jianu has rebelled and I have killed his envoy."

"Yes."

Several capable guards bowed in unison, and then escorted Shalubo, who kept shouting "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, spare your life!" out, and then separated a few more people to mount fast horses and gallop towards the official road heading north. , with the token given by King Wei, he went to the Liaodong front line by changing horses without changing people.

……

at the same time.

Yelu Mawu brought out 3,000 soldiers and horses from Haizhou. He did not dare to go south without permission. He only sent scouts to the rear to report to Xiao Cunou, who was walking slowly with the army, and then ordered him to wait for the arrival of the army and set off together.

The sun hangs in the sky, and the cold wind is still raging in the world.

A team of more than 300 people lowered their heads and faced the army ahead with the goshawk flag and the sun and moon flag. The passing soldiers and generals looked at the figure walking in the opposite direction with somewhat strange eyes and comments. The sound rang out from under the sky.

"It's the one who lost the battle..."

"I usually look very powerful, but I never thought that I can't even defeat a group of thieves."

"Stop talking, look over here..."

Taking a deep breath, Han Qinghe, who was walking at the front of the team, squeezed the sword in his hand, looked back at his son, shook his head to signal him not to mess around, and seeing that Han Chang was honest and no longer impulsive, he immediately rode his horse forward. The troops under the dust and smoke hung up their swords and dismounted, bowed and clasped their fists.

"Han Qinghe, the defeated general, asks to see Vice President Xiao!"

Immediately, the order of cavalry ran back to the central army. Seeing Xiao Chou's explanation, the deputy commander of the march to the east snorted coldly: "How can a defeated general have the nerve to come back..." He knocked the horsewhip wrapped with gold wire in his hand. Combat Boots: "Let him roll the roll ten times and then roll over to see me."

Ling Qi responded to the order and then rode to Han Qinghe: "Xiangwen has an order, order Han Tongjun to roll his name ten times before going to meet with the Chinese army."

"Too much bullying..." Han Changdeng was extremely angry. He yelled and was about to step forward. Han Qinghe stretched out his hand to block him. The tough young man immediately stopped his feet and looked at his father: "Dad, this..."

Han Qinghe waved his hands, cupped his fists and said, "Han Qinghe takes the order."

The Lingqi looked at Han Chang, who was glaring at him angrily, and swallowed: "Don't blame the commander, I'm just passing on a message..."

Then he hit his horse and drove away.

The war horse moved its legs and legs. Han Qinghe was silent for a moment, and then shouted on the horse with a black face: "Han Qinghe, the defeated general, please see Vice Commander Xiao!"

"... Han Qinghe, the defeated general, asks to see Vice Commander Xiao!"

"..."

The sound echoed under the sky, and the walking soldiers glanced at each other. They chuckled with their companions and continued to move forward with loud footsteps.

Smoke and dust rose, and the young man clenched his fists. (End of chapter)
