Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

311 Collision
It was already dawn, and the gray skylight shone down. The monotonous darkness began to fade away, and the whole world began to add color. Under the hazy light, someone walked onto the deck and went down the rope ladder to the boat. The paddle broke through the water and sailed into the distance. go.

Waterfowl flew out on time to look for food, and their shrill chirps sounded in the air from time to time. The wind blew across the river, making the already choppy water a little more wrinkled. The flags on the boat made a hunting sound. The navy soldiers got up early and walked out of the cabin. He opened the door and went all the way to the sentry post to change defense with his colleagues. Standing at the lookout position, he looked at the ships going away and muttered, "These scouts got up so early!"

Then he stopped talking and just looked at the seemingly unchanged water surface, holding his chest high and standing silently. During this period, he often got up early in the morning to be on duty and thought it was hard enough. Today I saw someone going out to run around early in the morning. My mood improved instantly.

The next moment, the sun seemed to pierce the gray shell that illuminated the sky and the earth. Golden light swayed down from the clouds. The world in the eyes seemed to be alive. Colors were hung. The cook who had prepared the breakfast put the food into the plate and put it on the tray. .

Yu Cheng stretched out his big hand to pick it up and left. After a while, he arrived outside Lu Bu's cabin door. He didn't dare to rush in directly. He dragged the tray with one hand and opened the door. Then Lu Bu's deep voice came from inside: "Come in."

Yu Cheng bowed and walked in. Lu Bu and Hu Sanniang, who had already gotten up, were sitting there. The young guard stepped forward and put down the breakfast without looking back.

Lu Bu was not in a hurry to eat. He first pushed the breakfast to Hu Sanniang, took out a bowl of white porridge and took a sip. Then he looked at the standing guard and asked, "Du Lisan is leaving?"

"Commander Du set out about half an hour ago."

"Still so impatient..." Lu Bu shook his head, with a wry smile on his lips, but he was very satisfied in his heart. He and others were now in a strange place, unfamiliar to them. At this time, these scouts were their eyes and ears. If he is diligent, he will be able to see and hear well. Once a scout is out of control, he will be no different from a blind or deaf person.

Yu Cheng didn't speak, he just stood there and listened to Lu Bu's instructions: "Tell Wu Lang and Qi Lang to set off after breakfast to find Li Fu."

"Brother, where can I find it?" The young guard was a little confused and tried his best to recall what he heard yesterday. It seemed that Du Lisan and others had not found out where Li Fu was...

"You don't need to know." He lowered his head and took a sip of the porridge, then turned his eyes to look at the guard beside him: "The fishing villages here and there are all related to Li Fu, just find one and wait for him to come."

Yu Cheng suddenly understood, nodded in agreement, turned around and left in a hurry.

Not long after, with a few sounds, the navy soldiers on the ship began to pull up the anchor stones. The sound of the winch rotating mixed with the sound of water reached people's ears. Someone kept walking around the ship, doing inspections before departure. .

"There's a situation! There's a ship coming from the right!"

Suddenly, a shout rang out from a high place, and then a crisp sound of bells echoed in the air. Ruan Xiaoqi and Ruan Xiaowu heard the sound and ran to one side to look around. They saw dozens of fishing boats gathering together, and the crowd was filled with darkness. The exit is blocked.

"Alert!" Ruan Xiaoqi shouted.

The soldiers of the navy army who had already been beside him ran to one side and took out their bows and arrows, holding the arrows and looking ahead. The living Yama grabbed the soldiers of the navy army beside him and said, "Go and inform the village master that there is something unknown." The incoming ship is blocking the road, please come and take a look."

The man obeyed the order, turned around and ran quickly to the cabin. Before he could enter, Lu Bu's tall figure had already appeared at the cabin door, followed by a group of guards. Li Zhu and Gu Jian followed behind, each holding a weapon.

"Brother." Ruan Xiaoqi heard the voice from behind, turned his head and looked back, and when he saw the tall figure, he hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted, then pointed forward: "There are many ships over there, and it seems that they are coming with bad intentions."

Lu Bu frowned and looked around, seeing dozens or hundreds of fishing boats in the distance, with as few as three or five people on them and as many as a dozen strong men, all holding things in their hands, shining in the early sun.

After watching for a long time, Lu Bu turned to look at Ruan Xiaoqi: "I'm not proficient in water warfare, can Qi Lang be sure to annihilate him?"

"It's difficult..." Ruan Xiaoqi shook his head with embarrassment: "There is no wind to help the harbor at this time, and the oars alone cannot lift the speed. They are light boats. They can't beat us, but they can't run away. Disaster."

"There is something about the prairie cavalry attacking the infantry formation. Unfortunately, there are no cavalry who can pursue it... That's all. If he wants to fight, I will accompany him. Ruan Xiaoqi, raise the flag." Lu Bu thought for a while and shook his head. , casually ordered the living Yama in front of him, turned to look at the dark and strong man behind him: "绻貹, tell the infantry archers to come up. Don't be stingy, take out all the divine arm bows you are carrying."

"Follow Brother General's order!" The strong man like a black bear cupped his hands, and within a moment, a large banner with the word "Liangshan" written on the red background and black edges was raised. A flag bearer walked up to a high place and waved the order flag, and a short whistle sounded in the air.

"Beat the drums, cheer!"

……

Compared with the deployment of troops and generals at Liangshan, the people on Li Fu's side were also somewhat excited. Although there were not many ships on the opposite side, they were all large ships renovated with [-] or [-] materials. It felt like seeing this in front of them. It's different. Some people have the idea of ​​​​trying to use their hands as a chariot, while others are so excited that their hands and feet are trembling, thinking that the day of becoming famous is now.

On the boat at the front, the sun shone down. Li Fu, who was still strong, stood upright. In the early morning wind, his gray hair moved slightly. Zhu Xiaoba looked at the big boat from behind and stepped onto it. He came forward and whispered: "Master, we are all fishing boats, and we don't have any bows or crossbows. How can we fight with such a big boat?"

"Aren't we waiting? Are they waiting for the Vegetable Demon?" Li Fu bent down and picked up the hammer from the deck, looking at the big ship over there and sneered: "What if he brought some crossbows? I'm in the water, he can shoot." Me."

Zhu Xiaoba nodded silently, and said that it was true. Most people at most have some bows and arrows for hunting, and this Manichae is no exception. He looked at the back of the old man in front of him and took a deep breath. The last time the master led us, we could If you beat him once, you can win again this time.

"Listen to my order, the guys with good water skills will get on board the broken boat, walk three hundred steps in front of the big boat and launch into the water. The fishing boat will turn around, and the rest will follow me and rip off the boat they are waiting for."

"Roar--"

Li Fu raised his arms and shouted, and the men following him roared. A pair of dark and powerful arms rowed the oars. The bow of the boat broke through the water, pulling out shallow water channels. A group of men on the water held up their knives and waved them randomly. Shouting, Tong Wei and Tong Meng, with red eyes, put the sharp knives on their backs, stretched out their hands to pick up the hammer and chisel, and were about to fight when they got closer.

The next moment, a sharp sound echoed in everyone's ears, and a big flag was raised on a ship in the distance. The two Tong brothers recognized a few big characters. Looking at the wild word "Liangshan" over there, they couldn't help but straighten up and looked at each other. Suddenly he shouted: "Wait! Something is wrong!"

"Boss Li, they are not Manichaeans over there!"

"Boss Li, stop quickly, you've found the wrong person!"

The two of them were guarding the boat next to Li Fu. The sound of shouting reached the old man's ears, making the sea-making dragon colt stunned. He quickly raised his arms and paddled. Zhu Xiaoba waved a gray cloth and made a move. All the fishing boats stopped one after another when they saw it.

"What happened? You stopped fighting again?"

"Why stop?"

"What are the Tong brothers shouting?"

dong dong dong-

Suddenly, a burst of passionate war drum sounds resounded throughout the world. The water birds far and near seemed to feel something was wrong. They fluttered their wings, chirped and flew away in all directions.Li Fu was silent for a moment while listening to the sound of the drums, then turned to look at the two Tong family members who were approaching: "You two said that over there is... Liangshan? The one where Jingdong is making a big fuss?"

The two jumped over the boat. Tong Wei nodded quickly and said, "Yes, that's what's written on the flag over there."

Tong Meng continued: "I talked to the heroes from the north before, and they said that the red background with black characters and black borders used in the flag of Liangshan should be them."

"Weird..." Li Fu turned to look in the direction of the ship: "What are a group of people from Jingdong doing here? They actually peeked at us..." He turned to look at the two Tong family members: "They are waiting for trouble. Is the nearby military state coming?"

Tong Wei looked at Tong Meng, and they both shook their heads: "I've never heard of it."

Li Fu touched his chin and thought for a moment: "You wait here, I'll go over and ask."

"Master, how can we let Xie go? It's better for me to do it."

"Boss Li, there's no reason to go there in person, I'm going!"

"Boss Li..."

Everyone around him spoke out, and the old man raised his arms: "Okay! Listen to me!"

Amidst the sound of war drums, everyone fell into silence. The elderly Naohai Longju said: "No matter what the other side is doing, the leader has the right to make a decision. It is better for me to go and ask myself."

"Then let us brothers go with you." Tong Wei said from the side, while Tong Meng nodded his head.

"Okay, let's go together." Li Fu also nodded. Although the two brothers were his nephews, he also knew that they were a pair of good hands and could help out if anything happened.

"Don't stop on the side of his boat, go to the bow." Then he ordered a few people to go to other boats to wait. Only Zhu Xiaoba, the Tong family brothers, Shi Quan and Hu Yong, and a few other good guys were taken with them. One ship sailed alone to the ship in Liangshan over there.

……

The early morning wind blew up the banner, and as the flags were unfurled, teams of divine arm archers holding divine arm bows and carrying quivers stood behind the navy archers. They put arrows into the slots one by one and stepped on the crossbows. , the arrow was lowered toward the ground, looking into the distance with a solemn expression, just waiting for the general's order to be issued, so that he could cooperate with the navy to kill the enemy.

The fishing boats in the distance began to paddle, and after about a hundred steps forward, they suddenly stopped and swayed in a heap on the river, which looked very strange.

"Why did you stop?"

When the team of fishing boats over there stopped, Ruan Xiaoqi grabbed the wooden railing and leaned forward, muttering in his mouth with some confusion: "Doesn't this group of wrong birds know that they can't be beaten, so they don't dare to come over? Then? What is he doing here?"

Lu Bu was standing behind, and he was puzzled when he saw this scene. He turned to look at Li Zhu, who was also puzzled, and then turned back to look at the opposite side. Not long after, a fishing boat broke away from the team and rowed quickly towards this side. Come, I immediately had some guesses in my mind.

"Maybe I noticed something was wrong and wanted to come and take a look." Li Zhu said softly, turning his head to look at the Liangshan flag that was erected.

"Ah? How did you find out?" Teng Kan stared at the approaching boat with big eyes: "Does it count if these guys can pinch each other?"

"That's bullshit." Teng Yan glared at his brother from the side: "Of course there is someone across the street who is literate and watching me waiting for the flag."

"Oh." Teng Kan turned around to look at the big banner, then turned back and smacked his mouth: "It's a pity that I don't have a chance to appear on the stage, otherwise I would have beaten both of you to death."

Everyone listening had smiles on their lips, but Teng Si slapped him on the back of the head angrily, making a crisp sound: "This is on the Xunyang River, do you still want to be a hero? Throw this guy into the water. Can you float in there?"

"Ah!" Teng Kan covered his head and looked at his brother aggrievedly: "Don't hit him. Just hit him in private. You can also hit him in front of my brother."

Amidst the laughter of others, Teng Si's face turned red, and before he wanted to speak, Lu Bu waved his hand: "The ship is coming, Qi Lang, this is your ship, go and ask him."

"Yes."

With a chuckle, Living Yama walked up to the bow of the boat, looked at the fishing boat stopped in front of him and shouted: "Where are you waiting for a thief to dare to come and stroke the beard of a Liangshan tiger? You must know that swords and guns don't have good eyesight."

The expressions of the people listening below suddenly turned annoyed, and Hu Yong snorted: "We are thieves, but you are also a thief? They are all ordinary people who are in the quagmire of the rivers and lakes, why are you pretending to be a white-faced rabbit!" Looking at it! Ruan Xiaoqi's face turned red and she laughed strangely: "Master Rabbit is so handsome, but you look so ugly. I'm afraid no one will be willing to get close to you even if you kneel down."

"You guys... are you looking for death?" Ruan Xiaoqi was always a grumpy person. Hearing this, his face suddenly dropped and he glared fiercely at the people below.

"Have……"

Hu Yongfang was about to say more, and Li Fu stretched out his hand to stop him. He stepped forward and bowed his hands, and said in a deep voice: "I have seen this brother Li Fu in Xunyangjiang. May I ask if he is a hero from Liangshan?"

"Yes, we are." Ruan Xiaoqi suppressed his anger and nodded. He suddenly remembered that this person was exactly what he and others were looking for. He took a step forward and said, "So you are Li Fu. We are I came here just to find you."

Everyone on the boat was stunned and looked at the old man. Li Fu also said strangely: "Looking for me? I have nothing to do with you from Liangshan. How can you find me?"

Ruan Xiaoqi laughed ferociously: "You old guy pretends to be innocent. You robbed our private life and injured one of our people. How can this be false? Now you are such an old guy." The pigs and dogs don’t admit it?”

Li Fu was angry that Ruan Xiaoqi had an arrogant attitude and a bad tone. He frowned and suppressed the sigh in his chest: "Young students, please be polite when you speak. We have not hijacked anything from your village."

"Bah -" Ruan Xiaoqi spat into the river: "You dare to be an old dog that you dare not recognize, and you are the number one hero in Jiangzhou. I think you are the number one coward!"

Li Fudeng was so angry that his white hair stood up, and he pointed at it: "You guys, how dare you seek death? Come down into the water if you dare, and I will have a fight with you."

"Exactly what I want!"
