Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 576 Dedicating the City

The sky became gloomy, and amidst the gusts of wind under the clouds, the young men who were recruited were working hard to level the land and expand the camp. Big trees were cut down with axes and saws, and the branches and leaves were removed and transported back to the camp. The sound of sawing wood was heard. In the sky above the camp, amid the commotion, the camp instantly expanded. There were crash cars being assembled in the rear camp, and lumber transported from the front was hoisted.

At the central military office, the man with two blue spots on his forehead looked excited. He stepped forward to receive the letter and the order arrow from Yu Cheng. He called out to the few cavalrymen behind him, got on his horse, and trotted towards the camp gate. The soldiers guarding the gate of the camp saw the command arrow, then opened the entry and exit of the military camp with a creaking sound, and several horses galloped out.

The war horses gradually picked up speed after running out of the camp. In the strong wind, someone said loudly: "Brother Dong, why did you accept this mission? Sending messages to the enemy camp is a hard job."

Dong Xiuqiu looked back at Luo Qinghan, controlled the reins of the horse, and shouted loudly: "I have been ordered to do so, how can I refuse it?" He waved his whip and made a crisp sound: "Besides, I am worried that I will not be able to enter the eyes of Shangguan. , taking on the errand this time, wouldn’t it also make some impression?”

The man at the rear nodded thoughtfully and said nothing. The group of people just galloped on horseback. When they came to the city wall of Liaoyang Mansion, Dong Xiujiao shouted loudly: "Don't shoot arrows. My general has a letter for the general who defends the city." !”

The people on the city had already seen numerous horses galloping towards them. The palms of the generals who were temporarily guarding the city were sweating. They looked at the huge military camp that was being expanded in the distance and the flags that stretched for several miles. They wondered whether they should give the order to shoot arrows. After hearing Dong Xiaoxiao After shouting, he was relieved and quickly replied: "In that case, just one person can step forward and put the letter into the basket."

As he spoke, he motioned with his eyes to the soldiers next to him to get the basket. One of the soldiers ran around to find a hemp rope, tied the hanging basket on, and then hung it down.

Dong Xiuqiu moved his legs and was about to step forward. Luo Qinghan from behind quickly said: "Brother Dong, be careful of fraud."

Dong Zhongsun on the side also said: "How about I go and deliver the letter on my brother's behalf."

Both of them have the surname Dong, and Dong Xiaoxiu is a few years older, so this man treats Dong Xiaoxiu as his elder brother.

"It's not serious." Dong Xiujiao lightly kicked the horse's belly, and the horse walked over and said without looking back: "It's just a letter, just wait here."

Luo Qinghan and Dong Zhongsun looked at each other, took out their long bows, and looked at the figure walking forward, slightly nervous.

On the other hand, the person walking forward showed no fear at all. He stretched out his hand to take out the letter in his arms, urged the horse to go over and put it into the basket. Dong Xiuo pulled the rope, and then returned to his companions unhurriedly and took a look. The two people holding long bows smiled: "How about it? I just said it's okay."

"It scares me." Luo Qinghan wiped his forehead, his hands feeling clammy.

Dong Zhongsun also nodded: "Brother, don't act like this in the future. We both still want to rely on you for support."

"I'm just a new recruit myself." Dong Xiuo grinned, looked back at the tall and majestic city walls of Liaoyang Mansion, and picked up the horse's reins: "Let's go! Go back! Whether we can gain military merit in the next battle depends on my methods. "

Passing through the crowd, you should go back the way you came.

"Listen to Brother Dong!" "Let's go!"

Luo Qinghan and Dong Zhongsun shouted at the same time and turned their horses' heads. Several cavalrymen behind them quickly followed. A group of horsemen stirred up dust on the ground and galloped towards the camp.

"I finally left..."

On the city wall, the general looked at the retreating figures and let out a sigh of relief. He was not afraid of what these people would do, but he was afraid of the consequences if one of his subordinates accidentally fired an arrow...

After shaking his head, the guard general shook his head and went to the hanging basket to pick up the letter. He did not dare to open it without authorization and called two soldiers: "Take it to the general for review."

"Yes."

……

Thick clouds covered the sky, and the gradually blowing spring breeze blew up the floating soil on the street. The doors of the shops were tightly closed, and the hanging banners fluttered in the wind and sand from time to time, making it look desolate.

The two of them were walking, unconsciously looking in both directions.

"Damn it, why is the street so quiet today? Could it be that the general came in with his troops and scared everyone?"

"Don't say any more, mother. These untouchables are watching us from behind. It's better to find the general as soon as possible." "Let's go, let's go."

As they spoke, the two quickened their pace and arrived outside the palace gate in a short while. They were watching Brother Xian and En Shengnu escorting Empress Dayuan out of the gate and hurried forward to salute.

"General, this is a letter from the thief Lu outside the city..."

En Shengnu raised his eyebrows. Brother Xian next to him stepped forward to take the letter, waved his hand and slapped the person in a circle. The soldier was dizzy and covering his face, hearing the assailant angrily yelling: "What thief Lu? Call me General Hussar!"

"Hey...yes."

The soldier did not dare to say anything more, his ears were buzzing, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and quickly avoided it.

The two generals who were in charge here were too lazy to pay attention to the two soldiers. Brother Xian opened the letter, read it line by line and sneered, then handed the paper full of words to En Shengnu: "I thought Duola was a dead-headed person. To our Emperor Yuan, unexpectedly he surrendered before you and me."

"Isn't this... impossible?" En Shengnu was startled and quickly took the letter away. He raised his head after a while, with a look of disbelief on his face: "This guy... just surrendered?"

"Huh--" After blowing out a breath, Brother Xian stepped down the steps, pulled the saddle and put on the stirrup and mounted the horse: "You and I have to be faster, we are already one step behind. If the hussar general is allowed to lead the army to attack the city and then surrender, But it’s just one step too late.”

The combat boots stepped down the stone steps. En Shengnu flew onto his horse and tugged on the reins: "Hey, let's go quickly!"

Brother Xian was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and went ahead with his horse. The guards behind him quickly took the beautiful woman and the boy with him. With the roar of footsteps, groups of Bohai Navy infantry followed the general on the ground and rushed towards the gate.

Then, a group of infantry ran out of the city.

……

The tent was dry and warm, the pine and bamboo trees in the brazier made violent crackling sounds, and the firewood dripping with pine oil gave off a strong aroma.

In the big tent, Lu Buzheng and the four generals Bian Xiang, Xi Sheng, Sun An, and Gu Jian stood in front of the Kan map and compared their drawings. Liaoyang Prefecture has a strong city and high walls, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. I wonder if Duo La's letter will be triggered. It worked, so several people were ready to attack.

The chilly wind suddenly came in. Outside, Yu Cheng opened the tent curtain and said, "General, the Bohai people in the city sent someone to send a letter. Do you want to see me?"

"Oh?" Lu Bu held a small red flag in his hand and turned to look at Yu Cheng: "Let him come in."

He casually inserted it on the map of Kanyu: "Let's first listen to what the Bohai people are planning to do." He turned around and walked towards the commander's seat and sat down.

He grinned and said, "Don't come to Xiancheng because you are scared."

"How is it possible..." Sun An shook his head: "I guess he is showing his stubborn stance."

"Hehe, let's play for a while. If I win, you will lose one of my soldiers. If you win, I will lose one of your soldiers."

"Why not? Win!"

While the two were talking, a man wearing Bohai Navy clothes walked in. Seeing Lu Bu in the commander's position, he fell to his knees and said, "Bohai Navy Criminal General Xian Ge and En Shengnu sent villains to pay homage to the Hussars General. …”

He proudly raised his eyebrows at Sun An next to him, and the latter's face suddenly darkened.

"The two generals know very well that Gao Yongchang's position is unfair and his moral character is not enough to rule the world. He is just a false emperor who stole a great treasure and left his body dead. Therefore, they are willing to bring order to the chaos. Now they have tied up his wife and respectfully welcome the hussars outside the city. The general took control of Liaoyang Mansion." (End of this chapter)
