Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

The setting sun was shining in the west, and the clouds above and below the red sun were tinged with red. A resident bird flew back to its nest with a squawking sound, creating a dark curtain in the sky.

In the back hall of the Zeng family, several people who were tied into rice dumplings looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Zeng Tu looked at his shoulder that had been wounded, and then at his second son Zeng Mi, who had a bruised nose and face. He also took pleasure in the misery and suddenly smiled: "Erlang Where did you apply the rouge? It's so colorful, huh? There's a tic-tac-toe on your face."

Zeng Mi's face twitched, and he grinned in pain, and said in a disgruntled tone: "Brother, please stop teasing me, I don't know where the dead man came from. He was hiding in the woods. I was chasing a birdman to chop him down, but he was killed by someone." Sneak attack, hiss--" He opened his mouth in pain and took a breath: "I chased and killed the person who made the sneak attack, but I didn't know there was an ambush in front of me. A brick hit my face, and I was slapped horizontally with a weapon. Damn it, who did I offend?"

"Hello, we are being targeted." Zeng Kui, the fourth child, was sitting against the wall. Hearing this, he looked at his brothers: "We knew that the second brother was out through the eldest brother, but he was able to lay an ambush in advance. It must have been planned!"

"We have nothing to do with him in Liangshan, so he is really targeting us." Zeng Sheng looked at his fourth brother in confusion: "There are many people around here who are richer than us."

"I'm afraid I'm targeting the horse..." Zeng Kui said thoughtfully: "Otherwise, if I were waiting on Hebei East Road and he was waiting on Jingdong Road, how could I be willing to travel through mountains and rivers to come here, and hit a place where there is not much oil and water? Wouldn't it be stupid? "

"Damn it, these thieves!" Zeng Mi said angrily, "When I can move again, I will beat him until his face is full of peach blossoms."

Zeng Suo glanced at him and said in a faint tone: "Second brother, please open it now..."

"you……"

"Okay, don't say any more." Zeng Tu saw that his father had closed his eyes and said nothing. He looked at him and said, "Dad, what do you think they want to do if they don't kill anyone?"

The other four members of the Zeng family listened to the eldest brother's words the most. After hearing this, they all stopped and looked at Zeng Nong. The old man slowly opened his eyes and glanced at his sons: "How do I know what he is thinking..." He paused. After a while, he looked at the confused eyes of his five sons and said: "I just think that no matter who does it, he has an agenda. The reason why the officials in Liao do not let us Jurchens fight to the death is because of all kinds of strange things in the mountains and seas." Jane, it can be said that it is for wealth; the high officials of the Song Dynasty gave us all kinds of preferential treatment, which is to provide war horses. If you think about how much these thieves want, you will know why they don't kill us."

The five sons of the Zeng family looked at each other, and Zeng Kui still frowned and said: "After thinking about it, I only have horses. If he kills us, he can get them. It can't be for the sake of the second brother's beauty..."

Zeng Mi glared at him angrily, and Zeng Nang closed his eyes: "If you can't think of it, don't think about it. You'll find out eventually."

A few people nodded and stopped arguing. They closed their eyes to recuperate their energy. They were a little tired from the injuries and captures they suffered in today's battle.

Not long after, several village soldiers pushed open the door and came in. Shan Shiqi's armor was filled with coldness as he walked in. He looked around at the six Zeng family members and his son, and waved his hand: "Take them away."

At that moment, the two of them escorted one out of the room and filed into the familiar front hall. At this time, the place was also overcrowded. Zeng Tu and others looked at the room. A small number of them were the faces they had seen before the formation today, and even more Most of them have unfamiliar faces, but judging from their powerful appearance, I'm afraid they are also good players.

"sit!"

Lu Bu sat upright, still wearing his armor, and pointed at the six empty seats next to him.

The six members of the Zeng family looked at each other. Zeng Tu puffed up his chest and lowered his head to indicate the ropes on his body: "Should the king loosen our ties first? How can we be sincere in talking about things like this?"

Lu Bu looked at him with squinted eyes, and slowly raised the corners of his mouth: "If we can agree, we can untie it. If we can't, there's no need to bother."

Below, several military leaders laughed, and the Zeng family took a breath. They were not stupid. They knew the subtext of these words. If they couldn't reach an agreement, they would be dragged out and killed.

At that moment, Zeng Ning opened his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "I wonder what the king wants? If I can come up with it, I will definitely have no problem with it." "Okay!" Lu Bu patted the chair, but said something else first: " I remember the rules of the grasslands, the defeated are the prisoners of the victors, although the Jurchens are engaged in fishing and hunting, they are also mostly influenced by the nomadic tribes, and the same is true, right?"

Zeng Nong and Zeng Tu's eyes flickered, and Zeng Mi and other brothers looked at their father and brother with somewhat searching gazes. The two men were silent for a moment and nodded slowly.

The figure at the top nodded slightly: "Yes, that's good. A certain person is short of horses to form a horse army. I heard that the elders are good at breeding horses. There are many horses with thousands of miles of horses in the field. From now on, you can help a certain person raise horses."

He leaned forward slightly: "What do you think?"

I don't know how...

Zeng Nong felt bitter in her heart, but she didn't dare to say these words. She narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "I don't know, my mother-in-law..."

Lu Bu glanced at the infantry commander.

"I'm fine." Zhao Li said softly from the side: "I'm a little scared, but now I'm in the room with my personal maid."

Lu Bu turned around and looked at the six father and son: "Want to take a look?"

"Excuse me, Your Majesty." Zeng Neng took a breath and said, "I will give you the answer when I see my mother-in-law."

Lu Bu nodded, looked at the five sons of the Zeng family who were looking at him longingly, and waved his hand: "Bring them all over. We can discuss anything later."

Several men from the Zeng family breathed a sigh of relief, and someone came up to take them down. The six men immediately followed each other outside, and soon entered the side room where the guests were originally entertained.

"Master." Ma Ling watched the person walk away and turned around: "What if this Jurchen doesn't surrender?"

Lu Bu glanced at him: "There are so many people in the world, but he is the only one who can raise horses?"

Shenjuzi was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and nodded: "That's right."

Xiao Haili rubbed his head and curled his lips: "Actually, it's easy for the leader to use this person. I, Liao... Back then, the dignitaries of the Liao Kingdom wanted Hai Dongqing, so they urged these barbarians to capture it. First, arrest all the barbarian family members who captured Hai Dongqing. , if the Hai Dongqing is captured, the family can release it. If the Hai Dongqing cannot be caught, all the hostages will be cut down. With this kind of death, the Hai Dongqing will get everything."

The generals looked at each other in confusion, looked at each other, and then looked at Xiao Hai. They were very emotional for a moment. Lu Bu frowned, thought for a while and said, "How can you not force a rebellion like this?"

Xiao Haili waved his hand and said in a disdainful tone: "How can these barbarians have the ability to rebel?" He stroked the beard on his chin: "They waited until their respective tribes were beaten to a bloody head, and then they destroyed their entire clan at the slightest provocation. Not to mention that the Liao Kingdom has supported many mature women and true tribes for their own use to fight against dissidents and rebel?" He spread his hands and shook his head: "I don't believe it!"

"There are always exceptions, or the time has not come." Lu Bu's eyes were a little deep, and then he shrugged: "That's all, we don't have time to think about this foreign matter now, let's deal with the people in front of us first, and bring the two instructors. Come up!"

There should be soldiers from the village, and not long after, Shi Wengong and Su Ding brought them. (End of chapter)
