Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Erlong Mountain.

The sky is clear, and there are lush forests under the sky. The undulating mountains extend along the mountain road to both sides, wrapping the road that has been stepped on in the middle like a gourd. A pass stands at the waist of the wasp, blocking the road up and down the mountain. Someone They fought in front of the pass brandishing weapons.

when--

Dangdangdang——

The dense chirping of gold and iron resounded in the mountains. Countless birds were frightened and flew away with fluttering wings. They lowered their heads and chirped several times towards the two people who made the noise, which were clear and urgent.

"The Qingzhou officers and soldiers are not good enough. Why don't they rush to open the door?"

"We've all attacked the door, but we're fighting in front of the pass... at least we can lead our troops to kill them."

"They don't seem to have any siege equipment with them..."

Halfway up the steep mountainside, a lying figure was talking quickly. Ma Ling, who was holding on to a tree trunk and looking down, thought for a while and said, "When the Qingzhou military commander came to attack before, I heard that he brought a lot of equipment with him. You won’t empty out Qingzhou, right?”

Du Lisan clung to the edge of the cliff. After hearing this, he looked back and said hesitantly, "No way... Qingzhou is considered a big state in Jingdong. I heard it is in the upper middle. How can it be completely wiped out in a single battle?"

Ma Ling didn't take it seriously: "Maybe he sold it. I remember that many people in the Song Dynasty army did this."

"It would be great if Cui Meng was here. You can ask him." Tang Erhu carefully raised his body and looked down, then hurriedly backed up a distance: "Damn it, it's too high... …”

"Why haven't I seen you afraid of heights before on the mountain?"

"I haven't run to the edge of the cliff to look down before..."

In the midst of the two people bickering, Ma Ling, who had been grabbing the tree trunk, suddenly said: "This monk is also used to fighting. His moves are so powerful, but he never confronts the general head-on. He only greets the horse. This From the looks of it, this is not the first time we have encountered this kind of situation."

After hearing this, Du Lisan looked down and suddenly said after a while: "The two people over there are going to be beaten too."

……

The fighting figures roared in front of the pass. Immediately, the mace in Qin Ming's hand was raised above his head. There was a loud noise and blocked the Zen staff hitting the horse's leg. The general on horseback gritted his teeth and the leather armor on his body was scratched. There was a roar in response, and the palms of both hands felt faintly warm.

The man and the horse were intertwined. The Thunderbolt used the momentum of the horse to push away the Zen staff, and swept the stick towards the unsightly bald head with his backhand. The fat monk suddenly became shorter, but he leaned down to avoid it.

Qin Ming, who was running past, pulled the reins, turned around and shouted at Lu Zhishen: "That thief monk, you have the ability to fight me head-on! I'll knock you to death with one stick!"

Lu Zhishen laughed loudly: "If you are capable, you should dismount first and then fight again! Sajia is not a good man if he dodges!"

Qin Ming was furious and urged his horse forward, but Lu Zhishen suddenly jumped forward, swinging his arms, and smashed the water-milling Zen staff at the horse's leg.

"I'm so angry! You're a cowardless gangster!" Qin Ming yelled angrily, but the monk looked fat and fat, but he was very flexible and strong when he moved around, as if he had rich experience in fighting with others. , he couldn't take it off in his eagerness, but it happened that this guy only focused on beating the horse, and he was well versed in the saying of shooting the horse first, but he didn't dare to let the Zen staff hit the horse, and he was at a disadvantage for a while.

"Master, Huang Xin is here!"

Zhen Sanshan, who was holding the battle, saw that something was not going well, and his master seemed to have no advantage, so he quickly rode out of the battle, hoping to attack Lu Zhishen with thunderbolt fire.

"If you want to combine two into one, have you asked the Sa family?" Yang Zhi, who had been waiting impatiently on the opposite side, could see clearly at this time and hurriedly rushed out.

Huang Xin saw Yang Zhi charging out and shouted, "Then I'll take you first!"

Yang Zhi didn't answer, but his face darkened a little. He saw pear blossoms dancing in front of him with a spear in his hand. Huang Xin didn't check the opponent's superb marksmanship, and quickly waved the Sangmen sword in his hand. There was a clanking sound and sparks. He jumped out at the point where the blades collided. For a moment, the gun never left the vital points of Zhen Sanshan's chest and abdomen, and the soldiers and horses that were hit could only barely block it.

"Get out of here!" Huang Xin was caught off guard for a moment. He broke out in a cold sweat after being shot by a gun. He tightly guarded his door. When the gun on the other side slowed down, he saw an empty space and slashed at the gun with a fierce sword. .

Yang Zhi's face with the green birthmark evoked a sneer, and the path of the gun in his hand changed. With the strength of the commander, he swiped the gun as a stick.

when--

The Sangmen sword and the spear collided, making a huge metal clash. Huang Xin's expression changed, and he felt a burning and numbness at the tiger's mouth. The force of the shock pushed him back. Yang Zhi rode over, and a He pulled out the long knife from his waist and used the speed of his horse to slash it hard.

"How dare you, thief!"

Qin Ming, who was fighting with Lu Zhishen on the other side, was annoyed. When he took a moment to glance at his apprentice, he suddenly saw this fatal scene.

It was Huang Xin who reacted quickly. He tilted his body sharply to the side. The knife grazed his arm and a stream of blood shot out. Zhen Sanshan was in pain. He quickly abandoned the sword and used his free hand to pull the reins to steady himself. Look at that arm, the skin and flesh are already rolled up and bleeding profusely.

"How dare you, the thief, hurt anyone! I'll beat you to death with a stick!"

When Qin Ming saw that Huang Xin was injured, he immediately became angry. He quickly abandoned the fat monk and picked up the reins to kill Yang Zhi.

In the direction of the charge, the green-faced beast was about to turn around and chase Zhen Sanshan. He heard Qin Ming's roar and glanced at him charging towards him on horseback. He curled his mouth downwards, hung up his spear, drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and turned around.

Behind him, Thunderbolt was yelling. When he saw the front turning around, he immediately said something bad to himself and quickly lowered his head. He only heard a crisp sound and felt a faint impact on his head. He didn't dare to fight anymore. He quickly pulled the reins and stabbed diagonally. He ran away.

"That stupid general, if you have the ability, come back and fight again." Seeing that he was about to run away, Lu Zhishen shouted: "If you run away now, you are not considered a hero!"

"I'll come back tomorrow!" Qin Ming also shouted, "I'll beat you to death with a stick tomorrow!"

Seeing the two village leaders behind him, the men couldn't help but cheer loudly. Yang Zhi's long-suffering face showed a smile, and then he suppressed it. Lu Zhishen laughed loudly: "Go back to the mountain!"

Then he dragged his Zen staff and turned around first. Surrounded by a crowd of minions, he followed Yang Zhi back to Erlong Village.

……

On the side of the cliff.

"It's finally over." Ma Ling looked to the left at the bandits who were returning to the pass, and to the right at the officers and soldiers retreating into the distance: "I still have some skills, and they didn't disperse in a chaotic manner."

Du Lisan stepped back a few meters and stood up, patting the dirt on his body: "This group of Erlongshan people didn't chase them. I don't know what the situation is."

"Maybe he noticed it." Tang Erhu was eight feet away, leaning on a tree and said, "But I think, regardless of whether they noticed it or not, there is another important matter at this time." Ma Ling and Du Lisan were confused. He looked at this tough man.

"How do we get down..."

"Just go back the way we came..." Du Lisan thought this man had discovered something big, so he said something casually, then suddenly came to his senses and walked over with a bad smile: "Oh - you are afraid of heights and don't dare to turn back, right? Go up the mountain. It’s quite smooth.”

Tang Erhu defended himself: "I didn't look down from the cliff before, so it was fine. Now when I think about standing so high, I naturally feel uncomfortable."

Ma Ling also came over with a wicked smile on his face: "Then today I have to cure your fear of heights. Otherwise, what will happen if the master asks you to explore high places in the future?"

"Wait...I don't know what's wrong. As long as it's not too high, I can go! Don't...don't catch me, help me -"

Birds flew away in fright, and under the sky, the three playful figures gradually moved away.

……

The boat was crossing mountains and rivers, and in the middle and late Mengqiu period, a letter was placed on the table in Lu Bu's study.

"Let's take a look at what Ma Ling and the others found out."

Behind the table, Lu Bu leaned back and leaned on the back of the chair.

Xi Sheng stepped forward and took out the paper, glanced at it and handed it to Bian Xiang beside him: "Brother, looking at the land of Qingzhou, there are not many strongholds. The Qingfeng Mountain with the most people only has two thousand people, three or four Commander."

"I think Erlong Mountain is quite good. We fought with the army for more than half a month." Bian Xiang said, handing the paper to Xiang: "Ma Lingdu said in the letter that the two leaders of Erlong Mountain were with that... The ruler of Qingzhou has excellent martial arts skills."

Xi Sheng shook his head: "This Qingzhou governor is just wasting money and food. He only fights in front of the enemy formation on the mountainside every day, without even the slightest thought of probing for an attack."

He continued to pass the paper down: "The pass is dangerous and there are no siege equipment. I don't want to waste my soldiers, but it is a waste of food and grass. I might as well try to lure people out of the pass."

Xi Sheng stood up fiercely, cupped his hands and said, "Brother, if you don't hand over Erlong Mountain to me, I will definitely capture it."

"Give it to me. There are many people in Qingfeng Mountain, so it's just right for Brother Xi Sheng to fight."

He blinked and was about to stand up and ask for a fight when Lu Bu waved his hand: "Don't make any noise. Who can go and see God's will."

"God willing?"

The commanders of the three infantry armies looked at each other in confusion, while the three cavalry armies in the rear were sitting there bored, listening to Lu Bu's words. When they saw Yu Cheng standing beside him holding a plate and walking over, he couldn't help but have a look of surprise in his eyes.

Lu Bu smiled on his seat: "Let's draw lots. Go wherever you get. Don't complain."

The three of them looked at each other and saw that there were three paper balls on the plate that Yu Cheng brought. He was impatient and grabbed the one on the left: "I want this."

"Then I choose the right." Bian Xiang opened his mouth and picked up the paper ball on the right.

Xi Sheng smiled and reached for the remaining one.

Seeing that the three of them had taken it, Yu Cheng turned around and took out another wooden plate, which also contained three paper balls, and walked to Ma Jun's side.

Behind the desk, Lu Bu's voice came: "You're just an ordinary person, so it doesn't matter where you get it."

Du Bo and the others nodded, reached out and each picked a paper ball and took it.

In front, the three infantrymen had already opened the paper ball. In the hand of Sui Nian, there was a word "peach", Bian Xiang took Erlongshan, and Xi Sheng nodded at the word "qing".

"We all know where we are going. Let's start preparations later. The newly developed cyclone cannon in the firearms removal bureau and the rocket equipment in the treasury are at your disposal." Lu Bu's deep voice rang in his ears: "It's just that Just conquering three mountains is boring, but I have an idea."

Several people looked at each other: "Brother, please speak."

The seated figure curled up his lips: "If there is a competition between three of you, the one who goes down the mountain first will be the first. Not to mention the reward, the two losers will toast to the winner."

The eyes of the six people suddenly widened, and there was a faint light rising from their eyes. After a while, they nodded suddenly: "That's very good, just follow what the elder brother (the leader) said."

"Okay!" Lu Bu also slapped the table and waved to Yu Cheng: "Write down where the six of them went. You can go down later."

The three people raised their hands together, and the three horsemen behind them also stood up and saluted. Then the six people put the notes on the table, and General Yu Cheng recorded them one by one, and then filed out.

"Brother Xi Sheng, I didn't expect that we would be together this time." Xiao Haili walked out of the gate and touched his bald head. He smiled and put his arm around Xi Sheng's shoulders and said, "Why don't we go to my camp together? Let's discuss how to attack the mountain? "

"As it should be." Xi Sheng nodded and cupped his hands towards Xiao Haili: "Brother Xiao, please take care of me, please."

The two of them walked forward as they spoke. Bian Xiang, who was behind, looked at Du Bo and said, "We are traveling together this time. It reminds me of the time we went to Hedong."

Du Bo also laughed: "That's great. If we can't predict it, our cavalry army will attack Erlong Mountain first."

Bian Xiang laughed loudly: "I don't want to let the cavalry army attack the mountain and watch the excitement myself. Brother Du should just sit back and watch us go up the mountain."

Yuan Lang looked at the two laughing people in front of him, shrugged and looked at the big black man next to him: "These people... seem to have won."

He snorted: "How about we go to the camp to discuss it? I read on the paper that there are only two leaders in Peach Blossom Mountain, and the number of them is only five or seven hundred. If so, you and I haven't been able to pull them out. If you come out on top, you might as well find someone to kill you."

"What Brother Wei said is what I want." Yuan Lang bared his teeth, his red face full of fierceness: "If I can't win the first place on this trip, I will write my name backwards from now on."

The mountain wind blew, carrying the smell of water across the mountains. Amidst the sound of rustling, the three infantry camps became lively.

At the end of Meng Qiu in the fourth year of Zhenghe, the flags were moved along the springboard to the ship with the flag bearer holding the flag. Noisy sounds could be heard from time to time in the water village. People shouted and horses neighed. Zhang Heng, the newly appointed commander of the navy, pinched Standing on the bow of the ship, he shouted to the sailors below to hurry up and carry the rocket aboard.

The soldiers carrying the Du flag stood on the deck and watched Bian Xiang come onto the boat in a short shirt. He was talking with his general. There was a steady stream of people boarding the boat from behind. Their swords and guns were banging on the wooden board, making a muffled sound. For a moment, there was a sudden silence all around. The flag bearer looked at the springboard. Several men wearing black shorts with red edges walked up. They straightened their backs out of reflex. People who had been in Liangshan for a long time knew these men in black. The people in red clothes are all the men who recorded military achievements under Pei Xuan. Who dares to offend them?

Seeing these people coming up to greet Bian Xiang and Du Bo and heading to the cabin, the voices on the deck started to sound again, but they were no longer as loud as before, as if they were afraid of scaring others. The whispers made the ship buzz continuously for a while.

At three o'clock in the morning, with the sound of a horn horn, the gate of the water village slowly opened, and Liangshan's ships slowly turned around and sailed out, heading towards Qingzhou along the Jishui River. (End of chapter)
