Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

When Lu Bu's army entered the city, they naturally wanted to find a place for the hussar general to stay. The two generals, Brother Xian and En Shengnu, lured him to the stay-at-home residence without even thinking about it. After all, Gao Yongchang had renovated it here. The furniture and items are also newly replaced, which is much better than other places.

"...This is my first time seeing such a shabby palace." Lu Bu walked through the bluestone-paved corridor, looked at the straight trees on both sides and shook his head. The courtyard was not wide, the houses were not big, and the surrounding walls were only one foot long. The left and right sides looked quite shabby.

Brother Xian and En Shengnu followed behind, looking at each other with some doubts, and then opened their mouths, then closed them as they felt that there was nothing to say. They used this place as a palace. At that time, all the Bohai people also felt that it was not suitable for the situation, only Gao Yongchang He was very interested in going his own way, and everyone didn't want to spoil his interest, so they acquiesced.

"...That's all, let's just pretend that there is no such thing as the palace." Lu Bu shook his head. If it hadn't been for Gao Yongchang, he would not have felt anything if he transferred directly from the Liushou Mansion to his own hands. It was just that there was an extra hand in the middle, and how much he felt in his heart. Something strange.

Under the gloomy sky, a slightly cool wind blew, and the scarlet cloak swayed to one side. Amidst the roar of footsteps, two standing guards stood facing each other in the aisle, and the crowd gradually dwindled until they reached the hall.

Reaching out to push the door open, the door panel hit the back. A loud bang came from the empty hall. Lu Bu stepped in and curled his lips when he looked at the decorated hall. The gilded tables and chairs were made of huanghuali wood. There are bookshelves and several tall copper candlesticks placed on both sides of the room.

"Painting a tiger is not anti-dog..."

After muttering softly, he walked behind the table and sat down. Yu Cheng came over with a few guards and stood still in the room.

Brother Xian and En Shengnu waved outside, and a group of people dressed like officials hurried from behind. Under the watchful eyes of the guards on both sides, they trotted with documents in their hands with some trepidation.

"General." The second general stepped in and pointed to a group of officials behind him who were standing at the door with their heads bowed: "These are the household registration and various documents of Liaoyang Prefecture. Please take a look at them."

A hand was waved quickly at the side, and the official who was watching secretly shouted: "Quick, get in."

Not daring to raise his head, he walked in with these books in his hands. Several guards standing outside saw this and stepped forward, reaching out to take the official documents and books. These people hurriedly left as if they had been granted amnesty.

"Thank you for your hard work, generals." Lu Bu nodded towards the two generals, looking at the two piles of "hills" in front of him with a headache.

"It's not hard, you should do things for the general." The two of them had smiles on their faces. Looking at the figure opposite, they looked a little sad and said quickly: "The general has just entered the city and there are many things. Please allow me and the two to retreat."

"Okay." Lu Bu looked up at the two of them with a slight smile on his face: "I'm tired today. When everyone comes to rest tomorrow, we can discuss things together again. You two don't want to be late."

Brother Xian and En Shengnu were overjoyed when they heard this. They knew that tomorrow would be the day for the reward, and they quickly handed over their hands: "Thank you, General, for reminding me. I'll take my leave."

He bowed and backed away, turned around and was about to go out.

From a distance, a horseman ran directly into the left-behind residence and dismounted in front of the courtyard. Upon seeing this, the guard watching in front of the hall door quickly turned around and reported: "Army Assistant Li is here."

The ears of the two people who were walking twitched, and they saw a middle-aged man with a friendly face walking around, facing the two of them and nodding.

The two men walked to the courtyard door and stopped, turned around and looked inside. They looked at each other for a long time and nodded as if they were sure of something.

……

"According to the order of General Hussar, we are occupying Liaoyang Mansion only to benefit the people and enable them to live and work in peace and contentment. From now on, all matters will be as decided in the past——"

"According to the order of General Hussar, anyone who takes advantage of the chaos to break into a civilian house will be beheaded, both soldiers and civilians! Those who commit rape and violate laws will be beheaded! Those who rob civilian women will be beheaded!"

"The order of the general of the Hussars..."

The sound of horse hooves sounded monotonously on the street, and shouts came from the mouths of the commanding knights who were galloping by. Immediately, the infantry posted the long paper written on the wall, and the literate sergeant read loudly.

"We've changed people again..."

"General Hussars...is it the one from the south this time?"

"It's the rebel army...can they really get out? Isn't it because the military discipline is worse than that of the Bohai Navy?"

After entering the city, some people from Lu Bu's army went out to calm the people, announcing that the Hussar General would take over the city defense, and reassured the people that they could live in peace and open their doors for business. However, the people in the city had been oppressed after the Bohai Rebellion, so most people were a little hesitant. , stayed at home and did not dare to move. Some people who were wary even put things on the doors and windows, fearing that the rebels would break in from the outside.

On the other hand, the shopkeeper of a restaurant looked excited as he listened to the shouting outside. He stood up suddenly with a slightly fatter body: "General Qiusi has given an order, brothers, open the door!"

creak-

The two doors opened slowly, and a store clerk stood at the door with a rag on his shoulder, smiling, watching the walking sergeants greeting them to come in for food and drinks.

"...That's Cao Zheng's shop, right? You're so brave, you dare to open the door to welcome customers at this time."

"Soldiers have entered. I wonder if there will be a fight."

"The shopkeeper?"

"Don't worry, let's take a look first."

In the midst of the discussion, most people hid behind the doors and windows, looking at the entrance of the restaurant over there. Within a short meal, a group of soldiers came out with their stomachs groping and threw a few coins to the waiter at the door.

"It's okay..."

"Then why are you still standing there? Open the door!"

Amidst the noise, everyone who had been blocked in the shop by the Bohai Navy Palace in the morning cheered up. They moved the tables, chairs and cupboards blocking the doors and windows, opened the doors and started business, and the long street slowly became lively.

……

When it gets dark.

At the restaurant over there, Li Zhu, who was dressed in navy blue and had a long sword hanging on his waist, said to Brother Xian and En Shengnu: "Two generals, please——"

"How dare you go in front of the military advisor? I still ask for it."

The second general looked at Li Zhu with a smile and stepped inside. The two of them waited in the left-behind mansion for a long time before the military advisor came out. They only estimated the time of conversation and they knew that this man was a powerful figure in Lu Bu's army. As an important person, when he came out and saw Li Assistant with a kind face and a gentle tone of voice, he thought that the two people who had just joined the army and had no backing had deliberately made friends, and they had to drag Mr. Jin Jian to drink and eat together. There was a scene where three people came to a restaurant to have a drink together.

"Dude!"

Stepping into the restaurant, Brother Xian shouted. Some fat and short figures in the distance looked at the three of them and their eyes lit up. He stopped the shop assistant who was about to come over and ran over. He looked at Li Zhu who was walking in the front and said with a smile: "Do the three guests want to eat? In the lobby or in the private room?"

Noisy voices rang in the hall. En Shengnu looked at the noisy soldiers with disgust and said, "Yajian, please be quieter."

"Yes. Come with me." Cao Zheng playfully led the way for the others towards the second floor. The three of them followed behind, turned a corner and entered a small room.

The second general asked Li Assistant to sit down first, and then he took his seat. Brother Xian said carelessly: "Here are some of the special wines and dishes, and prepare more meat." Cao Zheng looked at Li Assistant and saw him looking at him with a smile: "Go to the shopkeeper and ask someone to bring the good wine first."

En Shengnu nodded silently while sitting there, Brother Xian laughed: "Yes, yes, yes, serve the wine first, don't let anyone disturb you if you have nothing to do."

"okay."

Cao Zheng happily exited, closed the door, and the smile on his face faded. He walked slowly for two steps, stood there and pondered for a while, then strode downstairs and told the waiter: "I'm going out, and you go to the back to deliver the fine wine from the cellar." Go up to the altar, in the Renzi Pavilion."

The waiter nodded: "Where is the shopkeeper going?"

Cao Zheng smiled happily: "Nosy, go do your thing."

The man laughed happily, ran to the backyard, took out the wine jar, and then sent it all the way to the second floor.

Soon, the three people in the private room opened the seal of the wine jar in front of them, and poured the clear wine into the bowl, making a few ripples. Brother Xian and En Shengnu flattered each other, toasted frequently, and served them accordingly. The hot dishes were served, and soon the drink was a little wet on my face.

"The two generals are quite capable." Li Zhu drank with a smile, his face as red as Guan Gong.

"Not as good as a military advisor."

Brother Xian and En Shengnu looked at each other. They were both veterans of the wine shop. They would not think that the person opposite was really going to get drunk. Li Zhu had been like this since the first bowl of wine. At this time, he was already drunk. After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, if it still looks like this, it must be because of the drinking problem.

Li Zhu smiled lightly and said, "Don't flatter me. Li Zhu knows how much he can drink."

Looking at the two people opposite, they laughed sarcastically, picked up the wine bowl, and squinted slightly: "I also know what the two generals are thinking. The brothers under the general's command are all gentlemen. If they are sincere, they will definitely respond."

The second general straightened his face, clasped his fists at the same time and said, "The two of us will feel relieved if you have a military advisor. I will give you a bowl of respect."

Li Assistant looked at the two of them drinking, showed the bottom of the bowl, smiled meaningfully, did not drink, and gently put down the wine bowl: "Actually, I also have something to ask the two generals, but I haven't had the opportunity. Today is about It’s also fate…”

Brother Xian slapped his chest and said with a breath of wine: "Military advisor, if you want to ask anything, as long as I know it, I will tell you everything."

En Shengnu said nothing, but nodded with a blushing face.

"Good luck." Li Zhu chuckled and said slowly: "Last year, I was waiting for a brother to come north to Liaodong to buy horses..."

In the room, there were whispers, and people were talking from time to time, and then the voice of urging people to drink came again.

……

Hussar General's Mansion.

The former Tokyo Remaining Palace, and later the Yuan Imperial Palace, has now been transformed once again into the General Palace of the Hussars. However, the official plaque has not yet been completed, so we can only put up a flag here first, so that people can identify the purpose of this place. land.

The skylight revealed half of his face to the west. Under the eaves, Yu Cheng stood there with a phoenix-headed ax in his hand. There were guards standing every five meters on both sides of the road in front of him. Everyone's face was red with excitement, but they had to He stood there suppressing the bursting emotions in his heart.

Cao Zheng walked into the courtyard wearing a pair of coarse linen clothes. In full view of everyone, he walked towards the house. He greeted Yu Cheng outside the door, knocked on the door and entered. With a smile on his face, he sat behind the table. The figure bowed down.

"Cao Zheng has met General Hussar."

Here, Lu Bu raised his head and saw him coming. He smiled when he saw this, and looked at the swordsman who was kneeling on the ground: "Get up, I haven't seen him for a long time, but his physique has grown."

Cao Zheng took advantage of the situation and stood up, smiled, and patted his slightly protruding belly: "The villain will open a restaurant here. Eat well, drink well, and grow up."

"Seeing that you are fine, I am relieved." Lu Bu stood up from behind the table and walked over slowly: "In the capture of Liaoyang Mansion this time, you and Liu Yun are both meritorious people. If it weren't for you two to send information, "

"I'm ashamed of myself..." Cao Zheng bowed his hands and said, "Gao Yongchang led his cavalry out of Tokyo but didn't realize it. He almost ruined the general's affairs. Please punish him."

After finishing speaking, he knelt down as soon as his legs bent.

Lu Bu directly stretched out his hand to support the person and shook his head: "There is no need for this. This matter is not something you can react in time."

Seeing that he couldn't kneel down, Cao Zheng stopped insisting and just sighed: "I thought I could tell everything to the general here, but I was naive."

"That's good. What you did in Liaodong has exceeded my expectations. I will celebrate your success in the future."

"The ability to conquer Tokyo with only a small amount of power is mainly due to the general's skill in using troops and the sacrifices of brothers. Otherwise, even if the villain sends eighty pieces of information a day, it will be difficult to achieve today's success."

"Don't be humble. If someone says you have merit, then you have merit."

Lu Bu patted Cao Zheng, who had grown fat. He had just entered Liaoyang Mansion today and had a lot of things to do. He didn't have time to talk to him here: "Starting from tomorrow, you will return to Youshi Mansion immediately and come under the jurisdiction of Qiao Lie. Liaoyang Mansion is just the beginning.”

Looking down at Cao Zheng: "Do you understand?"

"I know." Cao Zheng nodded fiercely: "There is still Liao Kingdom to fight in the future. I am willing to be the pioneer of the army and go to explore."

"That's good." Lu Bu turned around, took two steps, and looked back at him: "Let's go and take a rest first. Unfortunately, there are so many things going on that we can't let you take a breather. Will Qiao Lie contact you tomorrow? ,correct……"

The voice paused slightly: "The merits you are waiting for will be recorded by the people from the Department of Military and Political Affairs later, and you will not be left without a reward."

Cao Zheng smiled brightly: "I am willing to die for the general! Resign, this villain!"

As he spoke, he stepped back, then turned around and walked out of the door. Outside, someone was walking into the courtyard. Cao Zheng quickly handed over his hand: "I have seen the military advisor."

Li Zhu looked him over, twirling his beard and smiling: "It seems that brother is really smart and knows what I mean. Is the general busy?"

Cao Zheng smiled and said: "Observing people's emotions is my strong point. The general is inside. Military advisor, please excuse me. I will leave first."

"it is good."

Li Zhu stepped aside and watched the mastermind walk to the courtyard gate. He stood there and thought for a while, then stepped forward and signed in.

"The military advisor came back just in time." Lu Bu looked up at the people who came in, put down the pen in his hand, raised his arm and waved: "I am thinking about how to arrange everyone's positions. Come and give me some advice."

Li Zhu chuckled: "The general must have some details in mind, but I happen to have some ideas and am about to discuss them with the general." (End of Chapter)
