Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 8

into the night.

Ye Xiao groaned strangely, opened his eyes and watched the mice scurrying around on the ground, and swooped down from time to time, hunting for his favorite dinner.

It was at such an important moment that Lu Bu led the horse team and drove the grain truck back to the valley, and the horse thieves were busy moving the looted goods into the cave as if they were celebrating the New Year.

Today Lu Bu took them to rob the most money in recent years. The old leaders before only dared to do things such as kidnapping and robbing ordinary people.

What's more, today, because of Lu Bu's crooked fight, he has gained a wave of gratitude from the villagers, and now everyone has the illusion that their spirits have sublimated.

"Don't make noise! ​​Divide the money now." Deng Fei stepped on the stool and slapped the table loudly, and all the horse thieves put aside their illusions and surrounded them one after another.

At the side, Lu Bu sat on the main seat, tilted his body, propped his head with his hands, and watched a few strong men carry the silver boxes as ordered, and they all fell to the ground with a "crash".

The fire was flickering, and in the dim light, the ingot-shaped silver coins seemed to be shining with enough light to make people unable to open their eyes. The horse thieves couldn't help but smile.

Deng Fei said in a loud voice: "Today, the leader and all the brothers smashed it, and they got a total of 500 taels of gold, 600 taels of silver, and [-] guan of copper coins. The number of gold and silver jewelry and jewels has not yet been counted. The meaning of the leader , [-]% of the money will be stored in the warehouse, and the rest will be distributed to everyone first, and the money will be distributed again after the jewelry is defrosted."

"Hoho~ Long live the leader!"

"Long live the leader!"

The scar face before was very stingy, basically he only gave out one or two parts of the income to everyone, and the rest was taken for himself. He never mentioned the matter of putting into the warehouse for public use, but it is not difficult for people to understand why this horse thief Can't develop.

But this is not a bad thing for Lu Bu, at least he is so generous with the money, these horse thieves get benefits, both the Han people and the Khitan people are very convinced of him now, saying that loyalty is not enough, but at least they think that their leader is a person who can do big things, Willing to follow suit, Lv Bu gained a wave of loyalty.

The excited people immediately brought out the spirits, set up a bonfire and set up an iron pot to cook porridge. Someone took out the dried meat and picked up a knife to cut the meat into diced meat for porridge and barbecue.

In fact, Lu Bu didn't really want to participate. He wanted to read the history books he brought out from the Gao family today, and he was eager to know what happened in the years from his death to his resurrection.

However, he didn't want to spoil the interest of his subordinates, which was a disadvantage to him.

In the later stage of the battle with Cao Cao, the situation was unfavorable, and Diao Chan hooked him up to drink and have fun all day long, which caused him to be out of shape when he realized it, and his appearance changed drastically. Therefore, he ordered the army to ban alcohol.

After waiting for his subordinate Hou Cheng and others to bring wine, he was beaten up by himself with military orders. As a result, his red rabbit horse was stolen, and Lu Bu himself was tied up tightly, and a reality show was staged——Zongzi .

This point taught Lu Bu "don't use your own likes and dislikes as the standard to restrain others", but this cost is a bit high, and people are gone.

That's all, let them.

Today, after reading a word or two in the book, Lu Bu felt unhappy, so he simply had a drink with these people.

"Brother, you have a good drinker!" Deng Fei wobbled over with a wine bowl. He was already slightly drunk, touched Lu Bu and drank it dry, and then sat down on the open space beside Lu Bu: "I'm starting today. You know, being a thief can also be respected."

Deng Fei was very happy. Today, the eyes of the dealers looking at everyone made him feel respected for the first time. This gave him a sense of accomplishment who had been underestimated for many years in the arena. Excited, he couldn't help Look around for someone to toast and drink.

Surrounded by drunken horse thieves, the Khitan man who is usually the most drinkable in Balihai got himself drunk at some point and was already talking nonsense with his wine jar in his arms.

Lu Bu drank the wine and smacked his mouth. This was the first time he was reborn to drink alcohol. To be honest, he didn't know that this body could hold a thousand cups without getting drunk. Drinking wine was like drinking water. drunk.

It's just that it made him feel that drinking is meaningless, why drink it if you can't be intoxicated?

"What is brother thinking?" Deng Fei asked strangely as he took a piece of barbecue and bit his head, looking up at Lu Bu holding the wine bowl motionless.

"I'm thinking about what the Great Song Dynasty was like." Lu Bu raised his head and looked at the top of the cave. How many years have passed, the relatives and friends of those years have passed away, and the former enemies have buried their heads in the loess, a certain...

What is the meaning of coming to this world again?
whether
I should go to the place I have been to

one more walk...

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint my brother." Deng Fei misunderstood, he felt that Lu Bu had some longing for Song, and couldn't help sneering: "I want to say that Song is better than Liao, but I don't know where to say it rise."

Lu Bu came back to his senses and looked at Deng Fei in surprise: "What do you mean by that?"

Deng Fei sighed: "Brother, it's not that I want to say that the Great Song Dynasty is not good, but the world is really difficult. I have been around the rivers and lakes for many years, and I have seen everything. Brother, do you know that there is a name in the south called Hua Shi Gang?"

Deng Fei stopped and shook his head as if thinking of something, took a sip of wine and continued: "Today's officials like strange flowers and stones, so they sent officials to the south to search for them. Humph, it would be fine if they were looking for escorts normally, but the official Er is also a damned person, if anyone has a rock with a strange shape, he will come to the door and paste a yellow note, which is called a tribute. Those who don’t have any backing and have money, they take them to prison, and use some tricks to guarantee that the family’s money will be squeezed dry. Some stones are so tall that boats can’t pass the bridge, so they demolish the bridge and chisel it. The destruction of the city walls has caused the people to complain unceasingly. I have seen such things in the south for more than a year."

"It's so?" Lu Bu was a little dazed when he heard that, the preferences of the Song Dynasty officials are really incomprehensible.

Um?Wait, someone remembers that Emperor Ling seems to be building a market in the palace, and let the eunuchs and maids pretend to be vendors in the palace to sell and sell...

Are the hobbies of the emperor so different? !

Deng Fei probably remembered something uncomfortable, picked up the wine jar and drank "ton ton ton", hiccupped, and said with a big tongue: "Brother...brother, let me tell you, not only the south is so miserable The farmers in my hometown are similar to those here, they are very pitiful, not to mention the heavy taxation, there are many corvees, many people can't survive and go to the weeds, hehe, they are all the same as me, the weeds... hiccup~ "

"Tontonton" poured another drink: "But that Bianjing is really luxurious, there is no place in the world more... more prosperous...beautiful than Bianjing. Hiccup~ I, Deng Fei, although I am a rough person, but, But I can see that the official family is supporting Bianjing from other places in Dasong, I don’t have much knowledge, but I... am not stupid!"

"No... stupid."

Lu Bu watched Deng Fei get drunk and fell to the ground, sighed, stared at the flames in a daze, got up after a while, added some firewood to the brazier, and went back to his room to read.

……

The next day.

The morning light sweeps away the gloom of the night, and the early birds fly to the branches to find the worms that woke up earlier than them. The sensual larvae are their favorite meal.

Lu Bu put down the "Three Kingdoms" that he had read all night, stretched himself, picked up his spear and walked out.

A night without sleep is not a serious matter to him now, his body is still young, and if he can survive the night, he cannot stop his daily practice.

It should be known that practicing martial arts is like sailing against the current, if you do not advance, you will retreat.

After practicing for more than half an hour, Lu Bu stopped and looked at Deng Fei, who was walking with a pot, and Ba Lihaili, who was holding a basin and a bowl. Perhaps it was because of a hangover, Deng Fei's complexion was a little pale, and his energy was also low. A little sluggish.

"Brother Deng Fei, brother Haili, why don't you sleep a little longer?" Lu Bu asked after wiping off his sweat.

Ba Lihai smiled proudly: "A little drink, and you'll be fine after a night of sleep."

Deng Fei smiled a little embarrassedly: "Let my brother laugh, let's eat something."

Lu Bu came over and found a place to sit, Deng Fei put down the pot, divided the bowls and chopsticks in the sea, and divided the mustache and barbecue that they brought, and the three of them ate the porridge like this.

"Boss, Brother Deng Fei said last night that you were looking for me for something important?" Ba Lihaili asked vaguely while biting the barbecue.

Lu Bu took a sip of porridge and swallowed the mustache: "Yes, everyone was happy last night, so I want to talk about it today, so as not to disturb the interest."

Seeing the two nodding their heads, Lu Bu asked: "Brother Bali often carries a hard bow, so he must be good at riding and arching, right?"

Bali Haili nodded yes.

Lu Bu went on to say: "For some reason, let the brothers divide into two teams in the future, one team guards the house, and the other goes out to smash kilns, so that they take turns to attack to ensure that they are energetic. The brothers at home should also practice, they are all from the north. Just knowing how to ride a horse is not enough, you have to be good at riding and shooting. If the team grows bigger in the future, it is inevitable that you will have to fight against the government. If you don’t know how to ride and shoot, you will be beaten by the government. Brothers in Shanghai will have to worry about this matter .”

"The leader means..." Ba Lihaili was stunned for a moment, and had some guesses in his heart.

"I mean, you and Brother Deng Fei will each lead a team." Lu Bu sucked the mutton fat on his fingers, took another piece of lamb leg and took a bite, and said vaguely: "Brother Deng Fei will take the second seat in the future." Top chair, you take the third top chair."

A gleam of joy flashed in Ba Lihaili's eyes, he was originally from Zezhou, he liked to learn martial arts since he was a child, and he admired people with high martial arts skills, his family fell behind and he became a nobleman, because he didn't feel that the sons of the noble family oppressed his own people He was beaten to death and fled to the rivers and lakes. When he was exiled to Tanzhou, he was seriously ill. It was the old leader who rescued him.

It stands to reason that he should be grateful to the old leader, and he did so in the beginning.

It's a pity that he didn't like the way of the scarred face. Although it is the job of the horse thief to rob, this person is too ruthless. He not only robbed the old and the young, but also robbed the poor and poor. Blocking the government's pursuers made his blood turn cold.

Until Lu Bu arrived, first he was convinced by the amazing knife, and then he single-handedly killed more than a dozen of Liu Zizi's subordinates, which made him admire him, and he was convinced by his style of robbing the big family and leaving food for the farmer yesterday.

It can be said that he was convinced of Lu Bu, and was thinking about performing well in the future to win the top spot, but he didn't expect Lu Bu to let him sit today.

As for Deng Fei being the second in charge, he has no complaints. After all, when Lu Bu was in power, Deng Fei was the only one to help him. He was also willing to see Lu Bu treat Deng Fei kindly.

"But leader, riding and shooting is not an easy task, and the brothers are eager to master it." Ba Lihaili said excitedly with a little bit of embarrassment.

Lu Bu shook his head and said: "It's okay, this matter is not a one-day achievement. We still have time to let them master the basics first. If there is a war in the future, it will happen on the battlefield."

"Then how about it?" Deng Feiqi asked.

Lu Bu glanced at him indifferently: "In the place of life and death, whoever can't die will die."

Bali Haili was silent for a while, and nodded. Although what Lu Bu said was cruel, it was the truth.

Lu Bu took a sip of porridge and said, "There is one more thing. Send a few more brothers to inquire about the news. The government and the people must know as much as possible. If the news is delayed, I will not suffer. In addition , find a blacksmith to help me build a Fang Tian painting halberd, here are the blueprints."

As Lu Bu spoke, he took out a drawing and handed it to Deng Fei, which marked the length and weight of each part.

"Yes."

"And..." Lu Bu paused, looked at Deng Fei and said, "Brother Deng Fei is good at other weapons besides iron chains?"

Deng Fei nodded: "My little brother is also good at single swords."

Lu Bu thought for a moment, then said: "I didn't mean to underestimate Brother Deng Fei, but I will have more horse battles in the future. Iron chains and single-handed swords are not the way to fight with horses. If you don't dislike it, I have marksmanship and spears here." The law may be passed on to the brothers."

Looking at it again, Bali Haili said with an envious expression: "Brother Bali, if you want to learn, you can also teach me."

This is what Lü Bu was thinking when he was reading last night. He watched Cao Aman and Liu Xuande go all night, and his eyes turned red with admiration for the two of them. Not to mention that the former defeated all the princes in the north and was the last family to dominate. Not to mention that the latter occupied Western Shu and achieved one side of the empire, but the fact that the two men had so many capable men and strange men kept him awake at night.

Why! ?

He, Cao Mengde, endured it, and if he could defeat someone on the battlefield, he would admit it!How could he, Liu Xuande, gain the loyalty of so many people?Are these people blind?
On the other hand, he now has a mob with no more than [-] people under him, and the only one who can be called useful is Deng Fei. He is now a horse thief leader, and talents from all walks of life will definitely not come to seek refuge.

For this reason, he was troubled all night, and finally came up with a way to train himself, no, it should be said to strengthen the force of his subordinates. After all, Deng Fei's martial arts were not to mention Zhang Liao, even Cao Xing could win the game.

As for Bali Haili, although he was close, he was better than the rest, but if he wanted to employ someone, he would naturally have to give some leverage, but how much and how to pass it on to him was up to Lu Bu himself.
