Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 87 First Battle - Chai ([-])

The horseshoes flew, and the dry soil was lifted into the air, and then shattered and fell, with dust floating with the wind.The slope at the back of the mountain was long, and the panting of the horses gradually increased. These two horses were not good horses in the first place, otherwise Yuncheng County would not have given them generously.

"The construction of the Liangshan village is so fast!" Pan Zhong was a little surprised when he saw the half-opened checkpoint in the back mountain while riding his horse.

Liu Yuan frowned, looked around, listened for a while, his face was a little livid: "Oops, the sound from behind is gone."

Pan Zhong didn't understand for a while: "Why is the voice gone?"

Liu Yuan controlled the horse's speed slightly, and when Pan Zhong came up to ride side by side with him, he leaned over and shouted, "The sound of fighting from behind is gone."

Pan Zhong was taken aback, he quickly measured his body and listened for a while, his expression changed: "Sure enough, it's gone, this officer is too useless."

"Quick, don't worry about other things, first rob one of his leaders." Liu Yuan looked a little anxious, and kept urging, raising his whip to urge the horse to go forward.

Pan Zhong's face was cloudy and cloudy in the back, and he hurried away with his hands and whip.

After a short walk, the two came to the residence in the back mountain.

But there are more than a dozen houses on the left and right sides, each with a small yard, which looks similar in layout and appearance, but gives people a sense of comfort and comfort, but Liu Yuan and Pan Zhong are not in the mood to experience this kind of home feeling.

As soon as Pan Zhong pulled the rein, he galloped into the building complex on the left first, and Liu Yuan followed closely. Pan Zhong reined in his horse and stood still in front of a courtyard, with a strange expression on his face.

Liu Yuan reined in, let the horse stop slowly and circled around, while he himself looked left and right carefully, but he didn't find any house number or sign on the gatehouse, and immediately cursed: "Zhi Niang, it seems that this is all It's exactly the same, how does this Liang bandit sleep at night, maybe he sleeps in which one?"

Pan Zhong got off his horse in a hurry, ran to a courtyard and opened the door, went in to have a look, came out and said helplessly: "I can't tell who lives here."

"Ah!" Liu Yuan was in a hurry, raised his whip and threw it on the ground violently, with no poise, he yelled: "You mother-in-law, Liangshan's cunning and chaotic killers, aren't they teasing your grandfather?"

He said this to vent his anger. He didn't expect that anyone would reply, but just after he finished speaking, someone answered in a loud voice: "So what if you are teasing you idiot?"

Liu Yuan and Pan Zhong hurriedly followed the prestige, and saw a young man in Taoist robes appearing on a roof at the right rear, stepping on the roof and looking down at the two of them.

The Taoist arched his hands: "Liang Shan Qiao Lie has seen both of you."

Liu Yuan's complexion was uncertain, and he suddenly laughed grinningly: "Niubi, what do you think you can do if you think you can stand tall?"

After saying that, hang the knife in your hand, draw your bow and draw an arrow to shoot Qiao Lie.

whoosh-

Thinking of the shrill sound of an arrow piercing the air, Liu Yuan shot into the ground in front of Liu Yuan with a "duh". , all of them bowed their bows and took aim at the two of them.

Liu Yuan calmed down instead at this time, and turned to look at Qiao Lie: "Wu that bull-nosed, do you think this can cure the two of us?"

Qiao Lie seemed to want to see him clearly, so he squatted down on the roof, shook his head and said, "I know you are a well-known expert in the world, so it seems that you can't be restrained."

Liu Yuan sneered: "Then you still put on such a battle?"

"There must be someone who can." Qiao Lie tilted his head and looked at Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan held the rein and pointed at Qiao Lie with his bow: "Who? Let him out!"

"Me!" In the icy voice, the sharp tip of the gun pressed against Liu Yuan's back heart with a stabbing feeling: "Brother Liu, don't move."

Liu Yuan's eyes widened, he felt short of breath for a while, his eyes turned dark, after a while, he shook his head, and said bitterly: "Brother Pan, how could it be you?"

Pan Zhong looked at Liu Yuan's back expressionlessly, then sighed for a while and said, "Why can't it be me?"

"No...you...you..." Liu Yuan's mind was a little confused, and he stammered for a long time before continuing: "You are my friend, why did you betray me?"

Pan Zhong looked at the person in front of him with complicated eyes, and moved his lips: "This time, I'm the one who can't help you, but I also have difficulties. I hope Brother Liu will forgive me."

"Heh!" Liu Yuan sneered, "What's your problem? What's your problem?!"

Pan Zhong raised his head slightly and looked around at the archers standing on the roof.

Qiao Lie looked at the two from above and sighed, without interjecting, he waved his hand, and the archers in all directions retreated immediately, while he squatted there quietly, as if he was a stone statue on the roof, letting the wind and the sun blow Sun is also unmoved.

"Of course, I shouldn't be named Pan." Pan Zhong's cheek muscles trembled, he looked down and said, "I only betrayed Song, no, I have never been loyal to someone named Zhao."

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't move!"

Liu Yuan was confused when he heard this, and wanted to turn around, but Pan Zhong held a gun and immediately dared not move again.

Pan Zhong took a breath: "Before I tell you, Brother Liu, when will we meet?"

Liu Yuan frowned, thought for a while and said: "You and I have known each other for nearly twenty years."

"Yes, you and I have known each other for many years, have I ever lied to you?"

"No. But what do you mean by saying this now? Don't talk about it, just talk about why you betrayed me!"

Pan Zhong's face was uncertain: "It's just because the fate of the family is like this, so I have to do it."

"You and your father depend on each other for life, where did you come from?" Liu Yuan was quite surprised, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.

Pan Zhong's cheeks twitched, and he retracted the gun slightly: "Brother Liu, changing my surname is not our wish, everything is fate, I should be surnamed Chai."

"Chai?" Liu Yuan murmured and repeated, and suddenly his face changed: "Which firewood?"

"The firewood of Zhou Shizong."

"How did you have a relationship with the Chai family, and why did you have the surname Pan?" Liu Yuan was quite surprised, and could stuff an egg with his mouth open.

Pan Zhong's eyes were a little complicated, he was bored for a long time, and he uttered a name: "Pan Weiji."

"It's him? But isn't he the nephew of the famous general Pan Mei?" Liu Yuan was not an ordinary quack who couldn't read or write. He immediately reacted when he heard the name, and then showed doubts.

"To stop the mouths of the people below, Mr. Zhao ordered Pan Mei to adopt his ancestors, so that people would not call him heartless." Pan Zhong said coldly: "Afterwards, the ancestors swore that they would never overthrow Zhao Song. Restore your original surname."

"That's it." Liu Yuan murmured and closed his eyes, then opened them for a while and said, "Then...how are you doing today?"

Pan Zhong's face was uncertain, his hand holding the gun tightened and loosened, and then tightened again. After a while, the tip of the gun dropped slightly: "Brother Liu, follow me to Liangshan."

"What are you talking about?" Liu Yuan thought he didn't hear clearly.

"Liangshan." Pan Zhong let out a long sigh: "Brother Liu, I invite you to go to Liangshan together."

"Are you crazy?" Liu Yuan didn't care about the gun being pressed against his back, and turned around suddenly, his eyes widened: "I'm here to kill Deng Fei."

Pan Zhong reacted very quickly, and hastily withdrew his gun and took it back: "Then what do you want me to do? Really kill you? How can I really be a birdman who can kill friends?"

"Then how could the people from Liangshan let me go?" Liu Yuan frowned and looked at Pan Zhong: "I tried to kill their leader twice and three times, but if it was you, you might be so generous?"

Pan Zhong was immediately at a loss for words.

"Two..."

On the beam, Qiao Lie, who had been squatting for a long time, raised his hand, motioned the two people below to look at him, rubbed his chin with one hand and said, "Pindao thinks this proposal is very good, we will call Brother Deng Fei and you and I will discuss how to do it together." ?”

The spring breeze blew, curling up the ends of the three people's hair, and the courtyard fell silent for a while, only the whistling of the wind and the occasional snort of the horses remained.

……

Before the light of day was far away, several frightened birds flew over from the sky and fell into the woods without making a sound.

get it-

On the battlefield in Qianshan, Lei Heng desperately beat his horse and rushed towards the precarious Zhu Nian. He kept adjusting the angle of the simple knife in his hand. When he was getting closer, he suddenly raised his hands to hold it and slashed down fiercely: "Death!"

Amidst the whistling sound, Pu Dao was like a flash of lightning, slashing at Lu Bu's neck from a tricky angle, in an attempt to make meritorious deeds with one blow.

Seeing this, Zhu Ting stared at her big phoenix eyes, desperately controlled her slightly trembling hands, and stabbed at Lu Bu with a gun, wanting to restrain the peerless murderer in front of Lei Heng so that his companion could make meritorious deeds.

Lv Bu snorted coldly, shook the halberd, and with a choking sound it burst open the Zhutong, and then borrowed his strength, the halberd swept towards Lei Heng at a faster speed.

Lei Heng saw Ji Lai's complexion suddenly changed, he didn't feel it from a distance, but he himself realized that this man's moves were so fast, if he didn't change his moves, he would be chopped down before Lu Bu was hit. Two cuts, with a wrong hand at the moment, use the simple knife to block the deadly painting halberd.

when--

There was an ear-shattering bang, Lei Heng caught the blow and couldn't help but his expression changed drastically, he felt as if his hands had lost all feeling after a tremor, and secretly cried out in his heart, thinking where did he come from such a strong person, who was not a human being.

Lu Bu frowned and looked at the two of them, feeling more and more disappointed in his heart. He knocked the red rabbit under his feet, and the horse immediately knew what Lu Bu was thinking.

Zhu Ting was in that direction, his appearance was miserable now, he had seven or eight wounds on his body during the fight, that is to say, the edge of the halberd avoided the vital points, otherwise it would have been too cold for a long time.

He was just thinking that he could take a breather, but he didn't know that Lu Bu's blow could not stop Lei Heng's attack, and he came to kill him again, he couldn't help but his heart tightened, and he stabbed out with guns in both hands.

Lu Bu let out a sinister laugh, Fang Tian swung his halberd, and the halberd struck the end of the spear with a bang.

Zhu Tie felt his hands sinking, and the tiger's mouth was burning. He knew that he was hurt, but he gritted his teeth and dared not let go. He could only hold the gun desperately so as not to make himself defenseless.

Who would have thought that Fang Tian's painted halberd lifted slightly with the strength of the bounce, and then slammed it down again.

"Let go!"

"what!"

There was a muffled sound when the spears and halberds intersected, and the ears of the halberds were hitting the barrel of the gun. Zhu Dian couldn't hold it any longer, and immediately let go of his hands. One of his hands was already bloody, and he was shaking constantly in pain.

"come on!"

As the red rabbit approached, Lu Bu lightly stretched his ape's arms, grabbed Zhu Ni's belt from the side and back, and pulled it violently.

"what!"

Zhu Tie screamed, and felt that his body was being pulled up into the air, soaring in the air for a while, he had already been pressed by Lu Bu on the horse's back, Zhu Tie was about to struggle, it might as well just feel a pain in the back of his head, and then he didn't know anything.

Reining in the reins, Chitu quickly turned around and ran towards Lei Heng.

Lei Heng couldn't help being startled when he saw that Zhu Tong missed and was captured. When Lu Bu turned around and killed him, he quickly raised his hand and bit the back of his hand hard. Using the pain to control his hands, he finally stopped shaking. He hurriedly urged his horse and raised his knife, shouting : "Thieves look at the knife!"

Lu Bu snorted coldly in disdain, seeing the thunder strike, Fang Tian's painted halberd rushed up from bottom to top to meet him.

bang——

Amidst the crisp sound of metal clashing, Lei Heng raised his saber involuntarily, watching the painted halberd sink and savagely hit his abdomen.

"Uh!"

When the huge force struck, Lei Heng felt as if his abdomen had been struck by lightning, and he couldn't help but feel weak all over his body. He was thrown from the horse's back and fell to the ground with a bang.

"Tied up!"

Lu Bu gave an order, and the horse bandit who had been clever for a long time galloped out of the battle, and immediately pulled Lei Heng up on the ground, and someone picked up Zhu Ni who was captured on the horse's back. Seeing that he was still seriously injured, he hurriedly carried him aside to stop the bleeding. .

"Wait! Abandon your weapon and don't kill!"

Fang Tian raised his halberd and pointed it at a group of officers and soldiers standing in the shallow water area.

Not long after, this group of sergeants came ashore with their heads down, one by one, throwing their weapons on the ground and begging to surrender.

The cavalry approached and tied the captives one by one in a string.

Not far away, the fiery red figure held Fang Tian's painting halberd upside down, looked at the noisy scene in front of him, and said in a low voice: "It's boring!"

Then he turned Chitu around and headed towards the rear.

"Brother, do you want to go back?" Fei Zhen who was directing the minions to kidnap people could not help but ask when Lu Bule's horse turned around.

Lu Bu nodded: "I'm worried about brothers Qiao Lie and the others, so I'll go back and have a look."

"I'll escort my brother back." Fei Zhen said that she was about to go back with her.

Lu Bu shook his head: "It's more important to surrender the troops. I'm still counting on these people when we build the village. Besides, the mountain has been properly arranged, so don't worry."

Fei Zhen had no choice but to say, "Then brother should be surrounded by two guards."

Lu Bu did not refuse this time, and nodded in response. Fei Zhen immediately ordered a few people, and the group hurried towards the mountain.

……

Lu Bu and others came up the mountain and went straight to the living area.

The Chitu was tall, and Lu Bu sat high and looked far away. The expected scene of Liu Yuan's dead body was not there, but the scene in front of him stunned him, an insider.

But seeing the courtyard door in front of a house was wide open, two outsiders Liu Yuan and Pan Zhong and the wounded Qiao Lie, Ma Ling and Deng Fei who stayed behind on the mountain were all sitting around a table drinking tea, looking at the faces of the five people , It seems that there is no dispute, Deng Fei and Pan Zhong are even talking and laughing, only Liu Yuan is very relaxed, although his face is unhappy.

What's going on here?

Lu Bu frowned, turned over and got off the red rabbit horse. Several people in the courtyard had heard the sound of the horse's hooves, and they all stopped talking at this time, turned their heads, and saw Lu Bu rushing over with his robes on. situation.

"elder brother!"

"Lu... the village master!"

When Lu Bu entered the courtyard, everyone saluted and greeted them one after another. Liu Yuan and Pan Zhong shouted unnaturally, probably because they were not yet familiar with each other.

"Thank you, brothers." Lu Bu waved at everyone, "Sit down and talk."

Ma Ling was quick-witted, and immediately ran to the house to move the chairs out, and everyone moved to give Lu Bu a seat.

"What are the brothers talking about?" Lu Bu sat down with a golden knife, and the iron chain armor touched the chair, making a creaking sound.

Qiao Lie looked at Liu Yuan and Pan Zhong, and said with a smile, "I just talked about it here just now. My brother knows about Brother Pan Zhong. He made it clear that Brother Liu Yuan will join Liangshan together."

Lu Bu looked at Liu Yuan strangely when he heard the words, and then at Deng Fei who was smiling beside him.

"Brother." Seeing Lu Bu looking over, Deng Fei seemed to know what he was thinking: "In fact, I don't have any hatred for brother Liu Yuan, he just takes money to do things. Besides, I know how capable brother Liu Yuan is, but this No, once Brother Qiao Lie said it, I agreed."

Liu Yuan got up from the side, and sighed: "Liu Yuan was stupid before, and caused a lot of trouble for brother Deng Fei and the cottage. Please forgive me. Now I am willing to join the cottage for my brother to drive."

When Pan Zhong saw him, he quickly knelt down on the ground: "Pan Zhong met my brother before. I didn't know that my brother was an ally of the family. How offensive, please Haihan. Now my younger brother is willing to invest in the cottage. There is no difference between water and fire. "

Although Lu Bu was a little puzzled by Liu Yuan's change, he still laughed, stood up and supported the two of them, saying: "It's a great fortune to have two virtuous brothers helping each other."

After finishing speaking, he said to Pan Zhong: "A certain brother has a special identity, so he should be called brother Chai Zhong from now on?"

Pan Zhong quickly shook his head and said: "Brother, you should still call me Pan Zhong. My branch has the ancestor's precepts. If the Zhao family does not fall, descendants will not be able to change the ancestral surname."

"As my brother said."

Lu Bu nodded, and before he could speak, he saw a man running quickly outside, walked up to him and knelt down on one knee, saying, "Report! Report to the village master! The leader of Bian Xiang has captured all the officers and soldiers in Houshan, and now he is rectifying the captives. Be there in a moment."

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard the words, only Liu Yuan had a wry smile on his lips.

　A compilation of anecdotes from the Song Dynasty, Volume [-]:

　　"Suishou Miscellaneous Records": Emperor Taizu first entered the palace, saw the concubine holding a child, asked him, and said: "The son of the eldest son." The waiter said, "Go to it." Pan Mei and Yishuai were behind, silent.Taizu summoned him to ask, but Mei dared not answer, Taizu said: "It is the position of a man, I can't bear to kill a son." Mei said: "My minister and your majesty go to the north to serve Sejong. If you persuade your majesty to kill him, you will lose Sejong. If you persuade Your Majesty not to kill him, His Majesty will definitely raise suspicions." Taizu said: "I am a nephew to you, and the son of Shizong cannot be your son." Mei then took it back, and after that Taizu didn't ask, and Mei didn't say anything again.Afterwards, he became the assassin, named Weiji, and the ancestor of Pan Su.Mei had no brothers at all, but Weiji served as a priest for three generations, and Zhiyun took Mei as his father, not his ancestor.The rest is from his family.
