Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

"I went to see Commander Bian Xiang. I couldn't help it and had a fight with Han Shizhong..."

Lu Bu leaned back, with a half-smile on his face, and looked him up and down: "Lost?"

"Didn't lose!" The voice was a little louder, and the young guard's face turned red. Then he lowered his head and said, "I'm just a little slow in my movements. If we compete in strength, he will definitely lose."

Lu Bu looked at his guard's arrogance in amusement, thought for a moment and said, "That's it... Let's make this man a Marquis of Du Yu, and he'll listen to Bian Xiang's instructions."

"Yes, please excuse me."

Yu Cheng said and stepped back and closed the door. Lu Bu rubbed his forehead and lowered his head again. Han Shizhong's incident was just an interlude. There were still many things to deal with after the war. He just remembered Yu Cheng's appearance just now and smiled again. He muttered: "Looks like we lost miserably."

Then I stopped thinking about it. The night was getting darker. At some point, the lights in the house were extinguished and a slight snore came from outside.

Early the next morning.

On the second day after Lu Bu's army entered the city, the government officials announced the lifting of the street ban along the streets. The sound of shouting and chanting resounded in every lane in the city. The people in the city were hesitant and tentatively walked on the streets. Although it was much stricter than before, And there are access restrictions, but you can already go to the street to do some business, which is much better than sitting at home and having nothing to do.

After one night, the four gates of the city wall and all the streets in the city were under control. The prefect of Binzhou looked like he was working for the rebels, so other officials, big and small, also bowed to the troops entering the city. By noon, a large number of soldiers Action began.

First, they simply tidied up the ruins of the military camp outside the city, set up the school grounds and several larger tents, and moved all the wounded soldiers there. Both the enemy and ourselves received medical treatment, which immediately eased the tense mood in the city. The originally worried people put on a relaxed look again.

Immediately afterwards, two thousand soldiers were stationed locally, and the 1,700 Bohai soldiers who had surrendered and were in good health were faced with the choice of joining or being dismissed. Under the noisy situation, until around Shen time in the afternoon, more than 700 people chose The remaining people received some dry food and packaged bamboo tubes and were sent out of the city in batches, and were transported to different areas in the north by the navy that had been waiting outside, making the Bohai Navy soldiers who thought they were destined to die seemed like a dream.

As for the naval forces themselves, they followed General Lu Bu's orders and patrolled around the Liao River to prevent the Liao army from going south along the river.

It was also at this time that a proclamation written in parallel with four figures and six figures, alternating between four figures and six figures, appeared in the territory of the Yuan Dynasty along with the released soldiers, and even spread to all directions. Among them, "the tribes in Liaodong are all indistinguishable. In fact, they are "Family, we should support each other." The words gradually became known as they spread.

The sky fell and rose again. The two days of rest had allowed the soldiers to regain their energy. The temptation of meritorious service and the desire for war once again occupied their thoughts, and the sound of discussions in the military camp was heard.

The sun was shining from the east, and horse-drawn carriages were slowly approaching on the official road outside the south gate. Ma Xie, who was temporarily guarding the south gate, saw them and quickly sent someone over to inquire. People who came back soon came forward to report the situation.

"Brother Jiang Jing, isn't he at the rear? Why are you here?"

The astonished Ma Xi hurried down the city wall, and not long after, a carriage convoy in the distance slowly drove over. Xuanzan, a strong and ugly man with a long sword across his side, accompanied the team. He nodded when he saw him and said hello.

Ma Xi nodded in response and ran to Jiang Jing's side: "Why are you here at this time? But there is something going on behind the scenes?"

"Brother, you are too worried." The fortune teller smiled cheerfully and touched his well-trimmed beard: "There is nothing in the rear. I am here as ordered by the general."

The heaviness in his heart finally fell back into his stomach. Ma Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the boxes in the car: "What are you pulling?"

"You'll know in a moment." Jiang Jing followed his gaze and looked at the box with a strange look on his face. He patted Ma Xi on the shoulder and then called the convoy into the city.

Ma Xi, who was standing at the gate of the city, didn't know why. He touched his chin, shrugged and returned to the top of the city wall.

Everyone who entered the city first went to Lu Bu's side, and then the carriages were pulled to the military camp and placed one by one on the school grounds, attracting many people's curious eyes. Some people went up to ask, but the sergeant guarding the wooden box said, "The general has it?" Order, don't open it before he comes." He persuaded me to go back.

The ordered cavalry galloped past the cavalry and infantry armies. The generals who received the summons gathered in the field one after another. From the wounded soldiers' camp behind, the soldiers who had not yet died were also carried over with the help of their colleagues.

A row of soldiers stood there without saying a word, with slightly doubtful expressions on their faces, while the newly surrendered Bohai Navy sergeants looked reserved and uncertain.

A wooden platform was set up in front of the school grounds. When it was almost noon, Lu Bu, dressed in an animal face with a head-swallowing chain armor, a purple gold crown on his head, and a scarlet cloak, galloped in from the outside on a red rabbit that looked like charcoal fire.

A red shadow flashed in the peripheral vision of the soldiers on the sidelines. When they looked up, they saw scarlet cloaks fluttering in the air. They went straight to the stage. The knights reined in their horses and climbed onto the wooden stage in a hurry. The purple gold crown reflected the sunlight, shining brightly. human eyes. "My fellow officers and soldiers, the athletes of the army!"

The majestic voice resounded throughout the school grounds, and in the field of vision that Tiger Eyes looked at, there were pairs of excited eyes.

From behind, Xuan Zan waved, and two sergeants went over, lifted a wooden box, walked to the wooden platform with a relaxed expression, and placed it at Lu Bu's feet.

boom--

Wearing combat boots embroidered with gold thread, he stepped on the wooden box: "Remember what a certain person said! A certain person once said that military merit is the highest in the army. Those with military merit will get official positions, land, money, maids, servants, etc. Wait, when I was stationed in Haizhou, a certain person had already distributed land and houses to meritorious deeds, allowing them to own the land so that their descendants would have fields to cultivate and food to eat! And this—"

Turning around, using force with his feet, he stepped on the lid of the box and leaned over to take out a stack of paper: "This is a land deed prepared by someone from behind. It is a document documenting your property, house, and identity! No! Furthermore, the words spoken by someone are proof of someone’s recognition of your merits, and these—”

He lifted his cloak and pointed to the wooden boxes stacked aside: "These are all yours!"

Xuanzan closed his eyes tremblingly and took a breath. When he opened them, he motioned to the sergeant on the side to go over and open it. The men with flushed faces walked to the wooden box and opened the lid. Inside was a paper document with the seal of General Lu Bu's Cavalry. Then——

Being grabbed and lifted by someone's hands.

"Long live the General!"

I don't know who shouted.

"Long live the General!"

"Long live the General!"

The shouts of mountains and tsunamis resounded throughout the school grounds. The red-faced soldiers with red eyes pulled out their horizontal knives and raised them above their heads.

Lu Bu raised his hand, his voice suddenly stopped, he glanced at the excited faces, and said: "Not only the living people! The soldiers and generals who died in the battle also have their share! Those who have descendants——"

The voice suddenly rose up: "I will raise him!"

Kicking the wooden box down, the documents written in black ink flew out. When the wind blew, they floated like snow flakes.

"Now, the Liao army from the north is coming to rob your fields. Tell someone..."

He looked from left to right: "What are you going to do!"

"kill--"

"kill--"

"kill--"

Countless soldiers raised their heads above their heads again, their eyes filled with bloodshot eyes. Even the Bohai Navy sergeant standing nearby was so excited that he could not control himself. The wounded soldier lying on the stretcher tried his best to stand up and roared to the sky.

"The whole army returns to camp and prepares, Chenshi... sets off——"

The voice is loud and exciting.

At the end of Chenshi, the troops who were ready to go slowly left Binzhou and continued northward to Liaoyang Prefecture. (End of chapter)
