Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

The sky was dark, thick clouds blocked the light, and the dark tone dominated the sky. A cool breeze blew, and water droplets fell from the sky, seeping down on the somewhat dry land, and then more and more water droplets Falling from the sky, gradually connecting the sky and the earth, the sound of rushing filled the ears.

Lu Bu was wearing a cloak and standing at the entrance of the Juyi Hall, listening to the sound of rain splashing from the eaves, and looking at the dejected crowd at the foot of the mountain. Yesterday's harvest was actually not small. , just made up for the number of horses killed in battle, but the biggest gain was the harnesses and armors that were still usable, but Liangshan naturally couldn't be as generous as the imperial court at this time, and only half a hundred of them could be equipped, no matter how many If you can't afford it, the extra equipment can only be sealed and stored in storage.

Then there are those infantry captives who surrendered after being besieged at the foot of the mountain. More than 8000 people even brought their armor and other equipment into Liangshan’s pockets. The food and grass enough for [-] people and horses to eat and drink for half a month were not wasted at all. All of them were moved up the mountain. Deng Fei and Wu Li never closed their mouths.

rustling --

The sound of footsteps came from the side. Qiao Lie, who was wearing a raincoat, walked over with Xiao Haili and Ling Zhen. They took off their bamboo hats and controlled the water. The two of them bowed their hands to Lu Bu and saluted: "Brother (leader)."

"It's rare for the three of you to come here at the same time." Lu Bu waved his hand, turned around and entered the hall, walked to the top and sat down: "What are you doing here?"

Qiao Lie looked at the man next to him, Ling Zhen wanted to say something but dared not say it.

"Chief, I have something to ask you..." Xiao Haili was impatient and took a step forward: "Can I lead the fifty armored cavalry?"

Picking up the slightly cold tea and taking a sip, Lu Bu looked at him amusedly: "The commander of your cavalry army will lead your cavalry army well. The cavalry needs someone to lead it, so don't compete with them."

"I can also serve as part-time." He muttered something in his mouth, and seeing Lu Bu shaking his head, he knew that he couldn't compete, so he had to settle for the next best thing: "Then is it feasible to hand it over to my battalion?"

"The armored cavalry is of course used to attack fortifications, so don't even think about it for you and Du Po." He raised his eyes and glanced at the Khitan man, "The armored cavalry is independent of the two of you. In addition, a certain person is going to transfer Yao Gang out to be the commander of the armored cavalry. .”

The bald-headed man wanted to cry when he heard the words: "Then we will lose a deputy commander? Chief, you can't do this, if you don't give it, you won't give it, and I will send a deputy commander out, this..."

"When did you become like a woman, talking so much?" Lu Bu glanced at the strong man, and pointed his finger at the table: "Referring Zheng Huai to the horse army, I heard that there are as many people as there are on the mountain. And, Niu Gao has a better relationship with him, maybe he can help him a bit."

Xiao Haili curled his lips: "It's that kid." Somewhat dejectedly said: "That's fine, I'll take him along, as long as he doesn't obey the military order..."

"Pei Xuan is not a philanthropic hall." With a cold glance at Xiao Haili, the bald man smiled and picked his bald head with his hands: "In that case, I will go down first, and I have to go to the Military and Political Department Horses are needed over there."

Saying goodbye to the figure at the top of the head, he said hello to Qiao Lie and Ling Zhen. The Khitan man ran out in a hurry. The horse still had to be allocated by the military and political department. Now he rushed to Pei Xuanna to say something nice , although the other party claims to be unselfish, but...

What if there are two more horses?

Looking at the distant back, Lu Bu rubbed his forehead with some headaches. The man who used to be neat and tidy has changed now. He turned his head and looked at the remaining two: "What are you waiting for?"

Qiao Lie looked at Ling Zhen who was a little embarrassed, smiled and patted his shoulder: "Brother, come first."

Ling Zhen smiled, pressed his knuckles with his thumb, took a breath and said, "Brother, what are you going to do about Huyanzhuo Village?"

Lu Bu looked at him in surprise, with a strange look on his face: "Come to beg for mercy?"

"Yes, villain... no, little brother..." Ling Zhen swallowed his saliva against Lu Bu's eyes: "Little brother and Hu Yanzhuo have a lot of friendship in the past, and this time I came to Jingdong because of him. Can keep him alive."

Lu Bu didn't speak immediately, but just watched him pointing his fingers at the table. Qiao Lie stood there squinting his eyes and didn't know what to think. In the huge room, there was only the sound of beeping echoing in his ears. He is good at dealing with people, his face is a little embarrassed, his eyes are wandering and he doesn't know what to say.

"It's not impossible to spare his life..." In the silence, Lu Bu opened his mouth and glanced at the happy gunner opposite him: "As long as he can surrender, I will certainly not insist on his life."

Ling Zhen was silent for a while, nodded and said: "I know, I will go find him now."

The sitting figure nodded, and Hong Tianlei also bowed and walked out. Qiao Lie turned to look at the Tokyo No. [-] gunner who went out, turned his head and said softly: "Brother, do you know that this Ling Zhen is still from Sun Da Pao Banner?" Old acquaintance?"

Lu Bu frowned, and looked at the Taoist with some surprise: "I didn't expect that."

"I just found out, little brother." Qiao Lie smiled, and the person on the opposite side signaled, and walked to the side and sat down: "Didn't Da Pao Zhan mean that he had worked in Tokyo's Jiazhan Warehouse and learned some firearm manufacturing techniques? of."

The person above showed a dazed expression: "So that's the case, I didn't expect these two people to have such a relationship."

He picked up the tea and took a sip: "However, this seems to be a good thing, at least there will be no competition for power and profit in the field of firearms research."

"That's what my brother said." Qiao Lie nodded: "Now that Ling Zhen is the leader of the big guns, it's a good thing."

Lu Bu turned his gaze to Qiao Lie: "You will also go to see Ling Zhen and Hu Yanzhuo in a while. By the way, are the other two regimental envoys willing to surrender?"

"That Han Tao has already surrendered." Scratching his head, the Taoist adjusted his sitting posture: "The moment Hu Yanzhuo was escorted back, this man was so shaken, and my brother didn't take much effort to explain him."

"Heh... the one I said last time, what about the other one?"

As if thinking of something, Qiao Lie put on a strange smile on his face: "Then Peng Qi is a wonderful person, he kept making gestures there without saying a word, my little brother didn't understand what he said What's more, I was disturbed to hear it, so I asked Brother Lian, and he immediately agreed."

"It's such a pleasure..." Lu Bu thought for a moment and sighed: "That's all, let's find someone to keep an eye on the two of them, and get their family members quickly."

"Brother is unfilial, and younger brother has already made arrangements." With a grin, the Taoist said narrowly, "It is said that beating people is not slapping the face, but this time, the faces of the three of them are the most severely injured."

Thinking of Han Tao and Hu Yanzhuo whom he had met before, Lu Bu couldn't help but smile: "Find someone to look at them first, so as not to expose the root cause of the disease."

The Taoist nodded and got up to go out. At some point, the rain stopped, and a few rays of sunlight shone through the gaps in the clouds. Wu Qing's graceful figure appeared in Lu Bu's sight, holding a food box in his hand.

Soon, Han Tao and Peng Qi, who had packed up, came to see Lu Bu together with Qiying, and then went to the cell to meet Hu Yanzhuo, and together with Qiao Lie and Ling Zhen, they persuaded the general.

Within a few days, the man known as the Double Whip General was also kneeling in the Juyi Hall.

……

The news of Liangshan's defeat of the officers and soldiers spread all over the sky again. The towns of Jeju and Yunzhou suddenly imposed martial law, and a large number of soldiers were rushed to the city wall by the apprehensive parents and officers. The soldiers were more anxious than the officials in the city, and many soldiers were even ready to break the city and surrender.

In the city of Yunzhou, Cheng Wanli, who is in power, is writing hard, writing letters to his old club, wanting to continue to ask for a few men who can recruit and fight to help guard the city. The water pond not far away really gave him too much pressure The pressure, even the miscellaneous taxes collected did not bother to count.

As for the gentry and the common people, they seem to be indifferent. Liangshan has established a stronghold here for many years. Except for the first time he went around causing trouble for a while, but later he was more kind to people than the government. There are too many exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and many poor people even look forward to Liangshan to break the city. Kill Nazhizhou Cheng Wanli as he did in Yizhou. If you are lucky, there may be a clean official to take over.

In this way, even in the days when the top was tense, but the bottom was full of thoughts, Liangshan did not come in the end. While many people breathed a sigh of relief, some people were also very angry.

"Huiniang, come out and eat something."

In the rented courtyard, Yunlong was standing at the door of the main house in a moon white shirt, knocking on the door, but the girl inside did not respond, just when the young man was a little impatient, frowning and wanted to come in hard, The door creaked open.

"What are you doing, Yun Lang?" Liu Huiniang walked out, still dressed in plain white, without makeup, with a hint of confusion as she looked at the young man who had lifted up his hem and was about to kick him.

"This... that..." Yunlong looked a little embarrassed, and said twice: "It's not time for dinner. I saw that you haven't come out, and I'm afraid that something will happen to you, so I'm a little impatient..."

"It turns out that you are here." The girl nodded, stretched out her hand to help Yunlong tidy up the unwrinkled lapel, and said softly: "Thank you Yunlang for your concern, I just had a hard time traveling, and I took a nap just now, but let Ye I'm worried."

"Oh...then... let's go to the front and eat first." Yunlong scratched his head, his face was flushed by her actions, but he said something with a bright smile.

"Yun Lang, let's go, I will come after washing up."

While speaking, the girl smiled apologetically at Yunlong, Yunlong nodded quickly and walked briskly to the front hall, while Liu Huiniang waited for the others to leave, opened the door expressionlessly, put away the torn fan Alright, just now I washed my face and left the room, the moment I walked into the hall, it was that delicate girl again.

"Hurry up, Huiniang, sit down. These are the dishes I ordered from a famous restaurant in Yunzhou. They are all your favorites." The smiling boy quickly stood up and stretched out his hand to gesture at the delicacies on the table.

Liu Huiniang thanked her, walked to the opposite side and sat down, Yunlong quickly picked up the jug and filled the girl with a glass: "This is a fine local wine, and I found it specially, you can try it."

"Thank you Yunlang."

The young man frowned politely and thanked him. He sat down and took a sip of wine. He couldn't help but said, "Hui Niang, you don't have to do this. What I said before that Hu Yanzhuo can win is a bit arbitrary. If you have any dissatisfaction , you can say it."

Liu Huiniang's eyes flickered, she leaned forward slightly, stretched out her plain hand to grab Yunlong's wrist, and said, "Yun Lang is thinking too much, what is the relationship between you and me? Blaming my future husband for a stranger?"

Yunlong scratched his face when he heard the words, trying to explain something, but found that there seemed to be nothing to say.

The girl smiled when she saw this: "Yunlang is so anxious because Hu Yanzhuo has failed to live up to your expectations. In fact, it's not you who should be angry, but the pair of whip generals. Proud and arrogant, confidant Not knowing the other side is the main reason for its failure."

"That's the reason, Hui Niang is really smart, but it's my fault."

Yunlong murmured, as if he had figured it out instantly, he stretched out his hand to grab the hand on the wrist, but the girl opposite him sat up straight and took a sip of the wine glass: "Sure enough, good wine, Yun Langguo knows wine man of."

Hearing this, the young man's eyes lit up with excitement: "That's not true. Apart from martial arts, what my father and I love most is drinking. If it's not a fine wine, I won't drink it."

"Uncle Yun turns out to also like wine, so I have to give in to him." With a chuckle, he put down the wine glass with half of the liquid in it: "Tomorrow, I want to go to the temple to burn incense, Yun Lang, do you want to come with me? Or? Help me go to Duquyuan to buy some official songs and come back. I have learned how to make Baihua Niang from people in the countryside, and I want to make some wine myself for Uncle Yun to try."

Yunlong immediately straightened his back and stretched out his chest: "Tomorrow I will ask the guards to accompany you to the temple, and I will buy some official songs and come back."

"Thank you, Yun Lang. Come, I'll toast you with this cup."

Whispering softly, the girl under the candlelight looked extremely beautiful, and the boy on the opposite side couldn't help admiring the beauty while drinking, and unknowingly ate too much, and fell drunk on the bed that night.

……

At the same time, the Daishoguno Temple in Tokyo.

A fat monk looked at the vegetable garden with his shirt open, and his expression was somewhat impatient as he walked: "I came to Tokyo from afar to show people these grasses, not stupid things like cattle and sheep, what vegetables and leaves to eat."

"This...brother, you are joking, can a monk eat meat without vegetables?" The vegetable garden monk who followed him forced a smile.

The big monk was impatient and turned around and slapped the monk: "The Sa family can't bear to care about these common things, so they just agreed to the abbot. The big monk is watching here. You will be able to grow vegetables. If the Sa family can be promoted to Tatou in the future, , I will never wrong you and wait."

The monk opened his mouth, looked at the strong body of the man in front of him, and at his own thin arms and legs, so he nodded bitterly.

On this day, a monk named Zhishen settled in the vegetable garden. (end of this chapter)
