Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

????????? In the golden autumn of October, when Wang Zheng was worrying about the status of his heirs, another person was also thinking about the same problem.

???????? At the junction of Pengcheng and Wuxian, the sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly.

???????? On the outskirts, dozens of knights are chasing back and forth, shooting and hunting competitions. This was originally the private garden owned by the Zhang family in Pengcheng. Zhang Zhao came to Wu County that day to please the future mistress after making a marriage arrangement. Because of this, he donated this place to Lu Bu.

???????? This garden covers an area of ​​a hundred miles, with meandering rivers flowing through it. The water plants are fertile, the trees are lush, and all kinds of wild animals come and go. It is really a good hunting place, and it is also suitable for Lu Bu and Zhang Liao. The preferences of these Bingzhou people were immediately accepted.

???????? At this time, there are hundreds of soldiers under martial law around the garden. Through the woods and rolling low hills, looking up, the guns are shining far and near, and the flags are like forests.

???????? Following the dozens of knights, there was another group of cavalrymen, each holding a bow and flag, cheering and shouting.Hundreds of horses galloped, rolled up the soil, stepped like thunder, crossed the river, and splashed in all directions.Countless forest birds flew up, many hares and horned deer panicked and ran around.

???????? It has been nearly a year since I came to Wu County. Lu Bu was very anxious. A month ago, he and Zhang Liao led 5000 troops to attack Lu State in Yuzhou. However, at the critical moment of attacking Lu County, the cities of Fan County were attacked by the Yanzhou Army from Rencheng, and they were defeated at Luqiu Pavilion. They had to lead the remnant soldiers back to Wu County. First, Zhang Liao went to Pengcheng to borrow troops and was rejected. After all, Wang Zheng was at the critical juncture of attacking Jiangdong. Even Xu Fang personally led the army to Pingyu. The soldiers and horses left by Pengcheng were not enough to protect themselves. His soldiers and horses borrowed him to fight Yanzhou?

???????? Later, Wei Xu, who was stationed in Xue County of Lu State, surrendered Cao Cao, and ten days before, Hou Cheng of Fan County also betrayed Lu Bu.

???????? Both of them surrendered, and the key point is that the [-] soldiers stationed in the two cities also surrendered to Cao Cao
???????? After receiving the news, Lu Bu's heart was about to bleed, 3000 people, for him now, it is simply another disaster for his not-so-rich family!

???????? You must know that Lu Bu was ambushed by Cao Cao during the hunting meeting in Yanzhou that day, and Lu Bu had already suffered heavy losses. When he finally fled to Pengcheng, most of the Bingzhou wolf riders almost withered, and Wu County was not big at all. It's not as good as Xiaopei, who Liu Bei sent to station with him in history. In the past six months, he has recruited a total of more than 6000 people.

??????????Half of the reduction, plus those who were killed and injured, most of them are in vain again!
???????? What annoyed Lv Bu even more was that Wei Xu and Hou Cheng declared to the outside world that the reason they betrayed Lv Bu was because Lv Bu was a rebellious person with no loyalty. road.

???????? It's just Hou Cheng alone, Wei Xu is also from Bingzhou, and his clan sister even became Lu Bu's concubine. The two are related by marriage. Such a brother-in-law is the first to bring up this topic , the lethality is much stronger than that of Zhang Fei's "three-surname house slave", and the Bingzhou Army is in a state of instability. If Gao Shun and Zhang Liao have not been working hard to suppress it, they will almost fall apart.

???????? Lu Bu has always regarded himself very highly and was headstrong. After suffering such a big loss, the anger in his heart can be imagined for the murderous intentions of the two generals Wei and Hou.

???????? But no matter how angry they were, they couldn't change the lack of strength in the army. With nothing to resolve, they simply brought the generals to hunt the countryside. …

????????The princes of the world are less thrifty and more extravagant. Although Lu Bu's reputation is not as good as it was in the past, but the death of a tiger is not detrimental. He has always worked hard on the outside. Shooting in the wild is also ostentatious.

???????? But I saw him wearing a gold helmet, a unicorn armor, a splendid robe, a horsewhip inlaid with jade, and a saddle with beads, shouting to the left and right, galloping against the wind, as if the wind was flying like lightning, and as if a god had descended to the world .The generals who followed him were all elites from Bingzhou.In response to his call and command, sometimes the clouds gather in one place, and sometimes the birds disperse in the suburbs.There are more than ten people in the area, and the momentum is as if a thousand horses are in full swing.

???????? A black muntjae was startled by it, with long legs and narrow back, it crossed the variegated meadow with lightning speed, and let everything passing by, whether it was a small bush or a full ground The color of grass is like swift water flowing under it.

???????? Regardless of the north and the south, most of the common muntjacs are yellowish brown. This kind of black muntjac is relatively rare.

???????? Immediately, the spirit was high, and they urged their horses to chase, shouting repeatedly, wanting to catch such a rare prey.

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

???????? Seeing this, Lu Bu's eyes sparkled sharply, and he lightly lifted the reins, and the red rabbit horse neighed, and suddenly stopped in the high speed of billowing dust and smoke, and even steadied itself quickly.

???????? At this time, Zhang Liao also rode up behind him. The horse under his crotch was a horse about eight feet high, and it was also a dragon colt. When he was beside him, he was not only dwarfed by the appearance of a handsome horse, but also seemed a little scared, pawing his hooves restlessly all the time.

???????? "This beast has such fast legs,"

???????? Zhang Liao tapped the horse's shoulder bones with a whip to calm it down, and looked at the figure of the muntjac flashing in the grass in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "It seems that we can't catch up gone."

???????? Lu Bu nodded when he heard the words, "The terrain here is not suitable for Chitu to let go and gallop."

???????? "No matter how good Chitu is at running, he is not familiar with the place after all."

???????? Zhang Liao laughed, and said with a pun: "After all, it is not as familiar as these local wild animals, and because of the agility that has been escaping all its life, it is normal for it to escape if it cannot catch up."

???????? Lu Bu glanced at Zhang Liao lightly when he heard the words, and suddenly laughed, "Wen Yuan, I only said that I couldn't catch up with it, but I didn't say that it could escape."

???????? Zhang Liao was startled when he heard the words, and was about to speak when he saw that Lu Bu had pulled out a uniquely shaped horn bow from the side pocket of the saddle. It is the world-famous Dragon Tongue Bow.

???????? Lu Bu lightly buckled a spiked arrow, without trying the string, just casually glanced in front of his eyes, suddenly pinched his legs, Chituma understood, hissed up to the sky, and suddenly let go of his hooves out!

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????!

???????? At this time, the muntjac kicked on the ground with all four hooves, and bounced into the sky like a bullet at the end of the grassy slope. He stretched out his vigorous body in mid-air, and at the same time turned his head to look back at the hunter chasing behind him. You guys, those eyes actually have some human touches, like the pride of successfully escaped, but also like the contempt for these pursuers.

???????? At the next moment, only a "bang" was heard.

???????? The string of the Dragon Tongue Bow cut through the air clearly, and as a gray light passed two hundred steps away, the graceful figure at the end of the grassy slope suddenly lingered in the air, as if time was short Like stopped. …

????????? The next moment, the spiked arrow pierced through its energetic back with ease, sending blood flying all over the sky, painting a gorgeous stroke in the blue sky and white clouds.

???????? Before the black deer was unable to carry it down, Lu Bu turned back with indescribable confidence and smiled, "How?"

???????? After a short silence, Zhang Liao took the lead in drawing out his sword and tapping on the scabbard, and cheered loudly. The other generals also recovered from the shock at this time, and pulled out their weapons to strike together. The scabbard cheered to the hero in his heart in a unique way of Bingzhou people.

???????? At such a distance, facing such a nimble prey, one can still hit it with one arrow.
???????? Indeed, it can only be described as miraculous!

???????? Lu Bu held his bow high and galloped back into the crowd with his horse, and said with a smile, "No matter how agile the muntjac is, it will never escape the hunter's bow and arrow."

???????? "It's not a hunter's bow and arrow, but a parachutist's divine arrow." Zhang Liaoman said with admiration, "There are more than ten million hunters in the world, but this kind of archery is only owned by a general, like a hundred birds. There are wings, but the only one that can really soar to the sky is the goshawk.”

????????"Ha ha."

???????? Zhang Liao's words made Lu Bu very happy, and he showed a rare smile and said: "Wen Yuan's words won my heart, so I roasted the deer here, and gave you the head as a gift from the general." .”

????????
???????? A pile of scorched mussels was roasted on a bonfire, and the smell of cooked meat wafted in the nose. People in Bingzhou were sitting on the ground casually, some were throwing dead branches, and some were holding copper pots to heat up. Drinking barley tea, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao quietly stared at the bonfire, with anticipation in their eyes, waiting for the moment to feast on them.

???????? But at this time, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes in the distance, and Lu Bu and Zhang Liao jumped at the same time.
???????? Startled, Qi Qi looked up, but saw a cavalry team coming from the west, and the leader was Chen Gong.

???????? Seeing Chen Gong, Lu Bu frowned immediately, knowing that something important must have happened, and his mood that had just improved became restless again.

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

???????? "Southwest?" Lu Bu was taken aback when he heard the words, "What happened in Yuzhou, so urgent?"

???????? I immediately thought in my heart, could it be that Cao Cao has changed again?

???????? "No."

???????? Chen Gong shook his head and said: "It was Xu, Yan, Jing, and Chen Sifang's joint attack. Yuan Shu was defeated in Runan Pingyu a few days ago, and his whereabouts are unknown!"

????????"what?"

???????? Hearing this, Lu Bu was dumbfounded and jumped up in shock, while Zhang Liao at the side immediately asked a more crucial point: "Military division, what about Yangzhou now?"

???????? Chen Gongdao: "Wang Zheng has occupied Jiujiang and Lujiang, but Liu Biao wants to occupy Yuzhang, Kuaiji, and Danyang. Wu County has no owner, and Jiangdong has become a land divided by two people."

???????? This news was earth-shattering, and the attention of the generals was immediately diverted. Zhang Liao gasped and said, "Wang Zheng rushed to help Yangzhou and assisted Yuan Shu in fighting Sun Ce. The general thought that this son It was too impulsive, unexpectedly it turned out to be such a scheming, and now it seems that it is actually a plan to destroy Guo by false ways!"

???????? "It's just that it's morally wrong to act like this. Besides, if Wang Zheng deals with Yuan Shu like this, isn't he afraid that the Yuan family in Runan and Yuan Shao will raise their troops to avenge Yuan Shu?"

???????? "And bring the urgent report."

???????? Lu Bu took the military newspaper from Chen Gong, looked at the text carefully, his face was cloudy and uncertain for a while, and suddenly he looked up to the sky and laughed: "What a king, what a king!" It's a tone of admiration. …

???????? "What is there for Yuan Shao to be afraid of?"

???????? Lu Bu looked sideways at Zhang Liao, and said in a cold voice, "Speaking of a strong man and a strong horse, the Jizhou army was defeated by Wang Zheng not long ago. How can a defeated general be brave?"

???????? "Speaking of territorial power, Yuan Benchu ​​only steals Qing and Ji prefectures, but Wang Zheng's power has spread all over Xu, Yang, Yan, and Qing. Where did Yuan Shao get the courage rash?"

????????? "As for the Yuan family in Runan, what year and month is it now, how much influence does the "Four Generations and Three Dukes" still have?Could it be that the Yuan family thought that a single call from the top would attract people from all over the world?ridiculous! "

???????? "The king's government is indeed very good, dare to act, bold and decisive, and a man should be like this!"

???????? Chen Gong on the side laughed and said, "The most wonderful thing is that he not only made a good alliance with us early on, but also is the general's son-in-law!"

???????? The implication is that Wang Zheng and they are really in the same camp, and they are both prosperous. The stronger his power, the better for Lu Bu.

???????? Unexpectedly, Zhang Liao had a different opinion: "Military commander, don't forget that a marriage contract is too shallow after all. Since Wang Zheng and Miss are not married, it is still unknown whether they are on the same path as us. "

???????? "I was also worried about this, so I hurried to inform the general after receiving the urgent report."

???????? Chen Gong said solemnly: "When the marriage contract was made in the past, the wedding date was already stated and it was performed according to the etiquette of the princes. Now it has been half a year since the date of the appointment. Let the young lady marry Wang Zheng as soon as possible. It is."

?????????The ancients have their own regulations on the period of employment and marriage: one year for the emperor, half a year for the princes, one season for the doctor, and one month for the common people.

???????? Lu Bu was greatly moved when he heard the words, and while he was meditating, Zhang Liao said, "Nowadays, in Yangzhou, where Wang Zheng is new, all his thoughts and thoughts must be on appeasement of Yuan Shu's old ministers at this moment. I'm afraid this son may not be willing if I go to propose marriage at that time?"

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Of course."

???????? "How do you say that?" Lu Bu asked in surprise when he heard the words.

???????? "General, although Xuzhou was captured by Wangzheng before, it has been stored for a long time in such a land of four wars, and the people's livelihood has been ruined by the war, so neither Cao Cao nor Yuan Shao Really taking it seriously, it’s different now.”

??????? Zhang Liao said: "The two counties of Jiujiang and Lujiang are the most affluent places in the southern region.
???????? Treasure land, Wangzheng can be said to be like a tiger with wings added, if given the right time and convenience to let it develop, in the eyes of Yuan and Cao, it will become a serious problem! "

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? !"

???????? "It is expected at the end of the day that within a year, the two will have a battle. The two heroes will hunt, and the outcome is unknown. At this time, urging him to marry the young lady is unpredictable."

???????? Chen Gongdao: "From General Zhang's words, it seems that you are not very optimistic about Wang Zheng?"

???????? "The last general just thinks that Wang Zheng has used too many troops in the past few years, and his foundation is not strong, but Yuan Shao has the right time, place and people and has all three. In comparison, the latter has a better chance of winning Some."

???????? At this time, Lu Bu suddenly said, "What if I add this general?"

????????"This"

???????? Zhang Liao was taken aback when he heard the words: "What does the general mean, is that he has made up his mind to fight side by side with this son?"

???????? "Qi Ling is already in Xiapi now, and it's hard to get over it." Lu Bu said in a deep voice, "And Wen Yuan, you forgot one thing."

???????? He stared at Zhang Liao, and said word by word: "If we really wait until the foundation of the king's government is stable before we mention the marriage, will people still think highly of us then?"

????????? Before Zhang Liao could answer, Lu Bu had already raised his head and stood looking into the distance. He could only see the sky and sky, the wilderness, the wind blowing through the trees, and the river sparkling.Flags fluttered in the wind in the distance, and armor rustled nearby.

????????? "Others have won consecutive battles, but this general has lost troops, heh"

???????? Lu Bu murmured: "Don't say that in the future, even now, Ling'er's position as the main room may not be stable anymore, right?"
