Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 12
The sky was dark and the sun was covered by layers of clouds. The weather, which was originally warm, suddenly felt much cooler.

Yelu Zonglin's upper body was bare, and a white cloth was wrapped around his shoulders. Blood seeped through the cloth, making it a dazzling red.Now he is holding a saber in his intact hand, poking the grass one after another.

Tian Shanyong took off his battle armor and sat on a piece of bluestone. The arrows on his shoulders had been taken out a long time ago, and he had applied the golden sore medicine and wrapped it in a white cloth. Ray is the medic who treats the wound.

Compared with the three of them, the rest of the Liao soldiers are much better. After all, there are few horse thieves. After some conflicts, they counted at this time. More than 50 people were killed and nearly 200 people were injured. All three generals were injured, and one of them was still in a coma. .The corpses of the horse thieves were only thirty or forty, and those captured alive were only equivalent to this number. Tian Shanyong was defeated if this battle was fought so far.

The surviving Liao soldiers probably knew that the battle was not beautiful, and their morale was not high. They lowered their heads and did the work of cleaning the battlefield. , a group of horse soldiers who were temporarily appointed as a medical doctor carried a medicine box to wrap up the wound of the seriously injured comrade. From time to time, some people shook their heads, put down the wound medicine and closed the comrade's eyes.

This is what Yelude saw when he came back again.

"Tianshan is brave and stable, why... is he like this? Where is my son Zong Lei?"

"Marshal..." Tian Shanyong stood up and gave a salute, looked at Yelu with a bit of shame, then knelt down on one knee and said, "It was my incompetence that caused those horse thieves to escape, and little general Zong Lei was also seriously injured. , is healing."

"Xiangwen, get up quickly." Yelv Dezhong hurriedly helped Tianshanyong up, and said in surprise, "The thief is so brave? Is my son seriously injured?"

"It's not so bad. Dad, I didn't say that, that guy is really powerful. If it wasn't for him, that gang of thieves would have stayed here."

Seeing his father coming, Yelu Zonglin hurried over and said.

Yelu Dezhong didn't look at Yelu Zonglin at first, but when he heard the sound, he turned his head to look at his son, and saw that his shoulders were tightly wrapped, and there were bloodstains on the white cloth, he was startled: "Why are you injured too?"

Tian Shanyong bowed his head, and said guiltily: "It's because I didn't take good care of it, please forgive me, Commander."

After a pause, he continued: "Little General Zong Lei was also knocked down by a horse after being injured by an arrow and passed out. There is no serious problem. Now he is dealing with the wound. The military doctor said that he will naturally wake up later."

"Don't do things about being brave and stable in Tianshan." Yelu Zonglin waved his hand nonchalantly: "The leader of the bandits is really powerful, but I am inferior to others, and I almost killed him with a spear."

Tian Shanyong continued: "That guy's methods are not like the people in the green forest, especially the arrows are very powerful, and the reaction in the battle is not better than ordinary people. I wanted to shoot him secretly, but he dodged it, but he was injured by three arrows in a row. On the shoulder, Little General Zong Lei was also wounded by an arrow, and his horse was also shot to death. And General Gu Yongxing also got an arrow shot into his throat by that servant."

Yelude's eyes widened again: "Gu Yongxing? Our Taihuohu General in the 28th place of Daliao, the one who captured the leader of the rebel army?"

"Exactly." Tian Shanyong nodded, remembering Lu Bu's sense of oppression in the previous battle, he suddenly felt his mouth a little dry, swallowed and said, "The thief leader himself cut off the rear, and shot and killed dozens of our war horses back and forth. Stopping the pursuers, 27 people died because they fell off their horses, and countless people were injured, and more than [-] Erlang were killed on the spot by him because of the pursuit. Use your weapons and horses for your own use, otherwise the loss would not be so great."

Yelu had to take a deep breath, this record was a bit unexpected, not to mention the loss of soldiers made his heart bleed.

Tian Shanyong is his old subordinate. He used to follow him to destroy the rebels on the Zhongjing Road. He knows that he is very skilled in martial arts, especially the skill of crossbow arrows. was dodged.

He also knows how strong his son is. Unlike those noble children in Shangjing who eat and wait to die, all four of them love martial arts. Although they are not as brave as Tianshan, they can still be called brave generals. Brave, now one is seriously injured and the other is incapacitated.

And Gu Yongxing, as his general, once shined brilliantly in the process of destroying the rebels. Not to mention being the first to ascend first, he even won his awards for capturing the enemy's leader, and finally became one of the 28 brave generals of Daliao by virtue of his ability. Now it's dead?
"Who is the leader of the bandit?" Yelv Dezhong couldn't help asking.

Tian Shanyong stroked his chin and said, "I heard him yelling that he was called Lu Bu."

"Lu Bu! Okay... huh?!" Yelv Dezhong nodded solemnly, was taken aback for a moment, then looked up at Tianshan Yong: "Who are you talking about?!"

"Lu Bu." Tian Shan repeated it bravely, wondering why the commander-in-chief made such a fuss.

"what?!"

In the wilderness, Yelu Dezhong's astonishment echoed for a long time.

……

As the sun sets in the west, the white clouds are gradually burned into red by the setting sun. When they are reflected in the blue lake below, it seems that the sky and the world are on fire, and the red one is very beautiful.

A group of horse thieves sat on the grass in front of the lake, allowing the horses to drink water at the lake, and one hungry horse thief took out mustache from his bosom and gnawed on it with cold water.Most of the people helped each other to wrap their wounds. Unlike the officers and soldiers with full armor, they lacked defensive armor, and there were not a few people who were injured.

Lu Bu sat on a bluestone, watching the remaining hundreds of horse thieves bleeding from their hearts. After the first battle, nearly half of them were lost. This post-war downsizing made him especially uncomfortable.

"Brother, there are no pursuers nearby." Deng Fei rode over, got off the horse, patted the horse's buttocks to let it drink water, and then strode over and sat down on the ground.

Lu Bu nodded, handed out the water bag and said, "Brother Deng Fei, thank you for your hard work."

"Brother, what are you talking about, it's Nye who is the hardest here." Deng Fei waved his hand, took a big gulp from the water bag, found it unsatisfying, and poured it on his head again.

There was a trace of blush on Lu Bu's sharp-edged face, and his metallic voice was hoarse: "After all, he lost half of his brothers and almost all of his belongings. It's because this leader didn't do a good job."

I don't know if it was the influence of memory fusion, or the change brought about by the great terror of death in Baimen Tower, or the inspiration after reading the biography of his old enemy. will say something.

Ba Lihaili shook his head and said: "You can't say that. The brothers have seen what the leader did. The soldiers led us out of the siege of the officers and soldiers, and the rear alone killed an unknown number of pursuers. The cavalry just let us get away. If there is no leader, I am afraid that the brothers will not be able to get rid of the following 'dogs', and they will not be able to sit here like this now."

"That's right." Deng Fei put the water bag on the ground, wiped his face with his hands and said to the person who fell on his head, "Brother Bali is right, besides, if you don't have brother to leave immediately, When the officers and soldiers surround the Taniguchi, I am afraid that I will be the turtle in that urn. It is a great fortune that half of the brothers can rush out now."

"Yes, leader, the second and third leaders are right, you don't need to blame yourself."

"That's right, we blood-licking men have long expected that this day will come, and it's all thanks to you that we can survive today."

"Whoever wants to say that this is the responsibility of the leader, I will be the first to chop off his heartless thing."

The horse thieves all around started clamoring one after another, some offered words of comfort, some looked on coldly, some were indifferent, and all beings were in different ways.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, the brothers' hearts have been accepted." Lu Bu was moved in his heart, but his face was still calm. He was quite uncomfortable with this kind of comforting words: "Where am I waiting now?"

Bali Haili looked at a Khitan horse thief on the side, and the man quickly chewed the mustache in his mouth and swallowed it down: "We have passed Lu County now, the front is the boundary of Xijin Prefecture, and the top is Huairou County , Downwards should be Yin County."

Hearing this, Deng Fei said seriously: "Brother, when I passed by Lu County, many people saw it, so be careful of the troops stationed here."

Lu Bu nodded, closed his eyes, pointed his fingers at his thighs, opened his eyes slightly, and said, "Soldiers are precious and fast. I will go south according to the original plan, but I won't go to Zhuozhou. Instead, I will go straight to Wuqing County. In the evening, everyone stand up, catch up on the night road, and wait for a good rest near Wuqing County."

Everyone nodded, thinking like a bright mirror in their hearts. They thought the officers and soldiers would come back tomorrow, so they told everyone where they were going. Now that there is a chaotic battle, someone on their side will definitely be captured. Why would a thief rather die than surrender?The secret will definitely be leaked out. If you go to Zhuozhou again at this time, you will be throwing yourself into a trap. It is the right intention to change the route now.

He looked at Deng Fei and said, "Brother Deng Fei came to Liao for a short period of time, and he hasn't shown his appearance to the government. When he arrives in Wuqing County, he has to trouble his brother to bring people into the city to buy some dry food."

Deng Fei patted his chest and said: "This is what it should be, wrap it on me."

Lu Bu nodded, glanced at the spear beside him, and said in his heart, "Wait a minute, let's go with Brother Deng Fei. If there is a blacksmith shop in Wuqing County, I want to buy a handy weapon."

Deng Fei had no choice but to nod in response.

"Let's eat something, let's go on our way after eating."

Taking out the cold and hard mustache, Lu Bu took a bite viciously, chewing vigorously in his mouth, but narrowed his tiger eyes slightly, pretending to glance around casually, watching the different expressions on everyone's faces, tonight is It's an opportunity to test people's hearts. People with two hearts probably will leave tonight. It's just a chance to clear out a group of people who have different intentions. At the same time, release false information to confuse the line of sight. If you can follow a certain person to the end, you will definitely be worthy of a certain person in the future. .

A few water birds flew over the lake, and the sunset glow was dimmed, and this difficult day would soon be over.
