Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

The sun shines all over the city, and the sun is a little warm, shining on the shadows of the trees in the woods. The spring breeze blows through the branches, making a rustling sound. The squirrel sitting on the treetop suddenly straightens up, tilts its head, and lies on all fours, fluffy. The tail swung twice in the air and disappeared.

The sound of horse hooves rumbled from a distance, and smoke flew into the air over the treetops. A horse army of 5,000 people slowly stopped amidst the shouts. Gao Yongchang sat on his horse and looked around at the green mountains. , there was a faint sound of birdsong.

"It's finally here..."

The green shade in front of him is full of vitality, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. Gao Yongchang even feels that his tired body has strength again. Everything around him is prosperous. Occasionally, he can see birds flying across the sky into the forest in the distance. There is a fresh green all around. Unknown white flowers bloom on the roadside.

"Your Majesty, further ahead is Zhuhua Mountain." Seeing Gao Yongchang stop, Duo La quickly galloped forward: "There are too many trees here, so it is not a place for an ambush."

"I know, where are Thieves Lu's troops?"

"Just now the scout reported that he had seen the dust kicked up by the marching troops and horses, but the distance was still far away, and he could not determine how many people from the other side were coming. He has already moved forward, and perhaps he will be able to get accurate information back later."

"That's good. We must find out how many people are in the vanguard of the Lu thieves. Well..." Gao Yongchang turned over and dismounted. His legs went weak and he almost fell. Fortunately, he grabbed the saddle with his hand and didn't fall to the ground. That's all. He also looked embarrassed.

"His Majesty!"

Duo La screamed and dismounted quickly. Gao Yongchang waved his hand and looked around. He saw two guards guarding him. He took two hard breaths and said, "Don't make any noise. Now we can only defeat Thief Lu quickly." I feel at ease.”

Seeing that their emperor was in trouble, the surrounding guards and deputy generals came forward one after another, but they could only keep silent after hearing his words.

"Then I will go and investigate personally." Duola thought for a moment and said, "This way, we can know the situation of Thief Lu earlier, and we can also choose an ambush place ahead."

"Only when the country is in chaos can we see loyalty..." Gao Yongchang grabbed the hand of the general in front of him, squeezed it slightly, let go, thought for a moment, and then nodded: "Bring more guards, don't go too far, I Waiting for you here."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will obey your orders."

The general in iron armor gave a military salute, and quickly called out to the guards who were on guard around him. He jumped on his horse, kicked the horse's belly with both feet, yelled "Drive--" and jumped out. Dozens of guards behind him saw this, He quickly rode on his horse to follow.

The war horses exhaled the hot air in their lungs, moved their hooves, and ran forward. Under the sky, more people dismounted from their horses to rest, but they were asked not to remove their armor and not to leave their weapons. The atmosphere in the army was a little different.

……

The sky is clear and blue, and the vibrant woods below are quiet and dim. The spring breeze blows from time to time, and the upright old trees gently sway their branches and leaves.

The light spots of the tree shadows were projected on the ground, and were suddenly interrupted by the figure that jumped out. The running figure staggered and almost tripped over the roots of the tree protruding from the ground. Then he quickly got up and continued running away with his hands on the ground.

whoosh-

The arrow with a faint light shot past, poof -, pierced into the back of the neck, and the strong force penetrated the flesh and blood. The figure that was still moving a second ago was revealed in the past, and it hit the ground with a bang, and blood flowed under the body. One place.

"The team officer is good at archery."

Someone shouted in a low voice, and then a voice cursed: "What kind of team officer? Now he should be called Du Yuhou!"

"Yes, yes, I forgot that the team officer was also promoted."

The voice sounded relaxed, and then several figures walked out of the forest. The first figure holding a bow and arrow was Han Shizhong, who had just assumed the post of Du Yuhou. "Stop talking and move faster."

The people who were talking suddenly stopped talking. Han Shizhong looked around, put his back on his body, and went over to kick the person lying down. Seeing that the person was dead, he squatted down and turned over, raised his eyebrows, and took out a bronze medal in his hand. He tossed it up and down, turned it over and looked at it: "He is from the Bohai Navy, he is brave..."

He squinted slightly at the words on the back of the sign: "The camp number?"

He stood up and looked at the old brothers behind him who were looking at him. He waved his arms softly and raised his head upwards: "Hide this dead body. Let's go take a look at the cliff in front. I think the Sa family can encounter a few more." A scout, if we meet this time..."

The steps he took stepped across the grass and made a sound: "Catch him alive!"

"But shouldn't we go back and report it?"

"Report? It's up to you to explore the Sa family now. Move quickly. We have to climb a mountain later."

Several people followed his orders as usual. Someone immediately lifted the dead body and threw it behind a bush. Then several figures followed Han Shizhong into the forest and went up the mountain road.

……

The light of day passes through the forest road.

The light and shadow kept changing, and the figure riding the war horse pulled the reins of the horse and raised his arms: "Stop——"

"General?"

The guard hurried forward strangely and spoke softly. There was only a straight path on the avenue here. No enemy troops could be seen in front. It was surrounded by tall trees and the field of vision was limited. It was really not a good place to go. I didn't know why I had to stop.

"You lead a group of people and continue moving forward. Be sure to find the enemy's vanguard. The rest leave their horses here."

Pointing to a personal guard and saying something, Duola jumped off his horse, took out the long bow from the bow bag, and hung the quiver on his body: "I am quite familiar with this. To the east of this forest is the mountain. We can see several places along the way. Now follow me up there to see if there is any army of Thieves Lu over there. If not, the next battle will be easy. "

Only then did the several guards understand, and nodded one after another, leaving three of them to guard the horses. The rest of them all carried knives, guns, and bows on their backs, and followed their generals towards the mountain.

The road up the mountain was rugged and difficult, with no clear path. More than twenty guards followed Duo La around, but they did not reach a dead end. As they were familiar with the terrain, the group walked higher and higher, gradually heading towards the missing part of the mountain. One side goes by.

……

"This is indeed a good viewing angle."

Standing in front of the cliff, Han Shizhong stepped on the big bluestone and looked down. He saw that the bottom was full of green, with ups and downs of hills and ditches. There was also a piece of flat land farther away, all the way to the south. It stretches like a broad road, with a turning point just out of sight and blocked by woods.

"If the Sa family leads the army..." Han Shizhong touched his unshaven chin and murmured: "I must find a way to use the cavalry to ambush here, and then run away. It is difficult to chase."

The mountain wind blew by, causing the clothes to flutter, and there were footsteps running quickly behind him. Han Shizhong turned around slightly, and his comrade who ran closer said quickly: "Du Yuhou, there are more than 20 people walking here, look at the clothes." It's from the Bohai Navy."
