Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

The afterglow of the setting sun shrouded the city, and the red light shone on the houses on both sides of the streets in the city. The wooden exteriors were painted with a layer of red paint.

The people in the city are hurrying home. The city gates that used to be closed only after dark are now closed tightly. This morning, the county government announced——

Due to bandits causing trouble outside, the opening and closing hours of the city gate have been changed recently and will be restored after the bandits are successfully suppressed.

Therefore, even if it would disrupt their schedule, these people did not dare to risk their lives. Some hurriedly returned to the countryside when the time came, while others lived in the city and closed their business stalls early to go home to rest. After all, there was little such thing as suppressing bandits. Experience suggests that it is better to be cautious.

The sergeants at the top of the city changed their shifts early. The general on duty looked at the unknown species of birds on the horizon and followed their flight paths. He turned his head from left to right. Not knowing what he saw, he suddenly turned his head back and took two steps forward. After taking a closer look, I saw a general flag fluttering in the sunset, but due to the angle, I couldn't see what it was.

"Who is that?"

He muttered to himself and waved to the sergeant on the side: "Go and guard the alarm bell, but if there is a problem, ring it..."

As he spoke, the long queue moved closer. The general looked at the familiar Wei Ziqi and breathed a sigh of relief: "No need for now, just treat it as the two regiment commanders turning around."

The sky was getting darker, and the team below lit up torches, meandering like a fire dragon. Under the light of the fire, the Wei flag fluttered in front, and the single-character flag rolled up behind.

The general estimated the distance and length of the torches, and secretly thought that there were only about 1,500 people. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He knew that there were more than 3,000 comrades who went out, but after the battle, he didn't expect that there were nearly half less. This is really true. It's a bit sad. It's really surprising that only two regiments conquered Zengtou City in one day, which was still a civilian city guarded by Liangshan bandits.

The fire dragon approached, and the sounds of footsteps and wheels came. From the top of the city, several prison cars with cages were swaying there, being pulled by horses. There were people standing dejectedly, thinking they were prisoners. Thief head.

A knight quickly ran out of the team and shouted loudly towards the city: "I don't know which brother is on duty above? The training envoys of the Wei regiment and the training envoys of the single regiment have returned from victory. They want to go to their old parents to pay orders and ask for merit. Please open the city gate quickly!"

"Do you have any ID?" The gatekeeper had already relaxed his vigilance, but still asked.

"Put the hanging basket down!"

The general waved his hand, and the sergeant stepped forward and lowered the basket tied with a rope. The sergeant on horseback below took out the token and military order and put them into the basket.

The general soon found out and waved his hand: "Open the door!"

creak-

The heavy city gate opened, and the horse-riding sergeant took a deep breath, pulled the reins, and ran among the troops with his head lowered.

The torch-carrying team began to approach and file into the city. The city guarding officer squinted at it, then suddenly turned around and walked down, saying: "You wait here to guard, I will go to welcome the regiment's envoys to enter the city." His legs quickly moved downwards.

The sound of booming footsteps echoed in the city gate. The soldiers who entered the city quickly lined up on both sides of the city gate. The general got off the city wall and looked at the divine fire general riding on the red rouge horse. He immediately grinned and trotted to Sakon bowed and smiled flatteringly: "Congratulations on your return from the team training victory."

"There's nothing to congratulate, except for a group of bandits and bandits." Wei Dingguo shook his head. Under the firelight, the armor and red robe on his body were a bit earthy. The cooked copper knife was placed horizontally on the saddle. His face was expressionless, and he had one eye. Slightly swollen and closed.

"What are you talking about? Liangshan has made such a big fuss, and now it has lost its prestige in Zengtou City. This is all due to the efforts of the two regiments." The general straightened up and looked up at the Shenhuo General who was sitting on the horse, with an expression on his face pretending to be surprised: " I injured my eye during group training, but here is a small hospital with good medicine, and external application takes effect very quickly."

But he was muttering in his heart, and he didn't know how he got hit, but it hit his eyes. Could it be that the regimental commander was still punching people on the horse?

Wei Dingguo stretched out his hand to block his eyes. He raised it halfway and put it down again. He stretched out his hand to call him over: "Please come closer and help me. I was shot in the leg. It hurts so much now."

The man didn't doubt that he was there, and didn't think about why he didn't call the soldiers for help, so he came over happily.

Wei Dingguo waited for this man to approach the horse and grinned: "I would like to thank you."

The man was a little confused, and instinctively opened his mouth to speak. He saw a flash of yellow light, and the scenery in his field of vision rotated upside down. The regimental trainer on the horse maintained a horizontal slashing posture with a cooked copper knife in both hands. A headless body looked in front of him. It looks very familiar.

That is……

Bang Dong - The head fell to the ground and rolled twice, turning upwards with a look of astonishment. Wei Dingguo raised his sword and said, "Quickly send the signal to let brother in."

Several sergeants at the city gate quickly shook their torches, and the circles of flames were very conspicuous at night.

Several figures rushed out from the infantry coming in from all around, and the young-looking Dong Xian shouted: "Go up and seize this city gate."

With a wave of his hand, he grabbed the spear first, and the fierce soldiers behind him followed. The sound of fighting and shouting spread on the city wall, and chaos suddenly became chaos.

Wei Dingguo looked at the knight beside him: "Brother Yuan, can you accompany me to the county government office first? Brother, I can't wait any longer."

The knight turned around and it turned out to be the red-faced tiger Yuan Lang. Hearing this, he nodded: "Brother, go ahead. I will lead others to follow."

He waved to a cavalryman and said, "Go and report to my brother Ming, and tell him that I will kill him first and go to the county government, so he shouldn't worry."

Seeing that he had made arrangements, Wei Dingguo picked up the reins, kicked the horse's belly and yelled "Drive -" and headed towards the government office first. Seeing this, Yuan Lang waved his hand and asked Han Tao and Peng Qi to wait here. He took Yu Yulin with him As well as the cavalry under his command, they quickly followed the figure in front.

……

The wind blew across the sky, and dark clouds flew by under the cold moonlight.

As night falls, ordinary men who are struggling to make ends meet have finished their meals at home and gone to sleep. Some people with spare money go to teahouses to watch plays and listen to books, while chatting with familiar teagoers about today's announcement. Announcement, guess when we will hear the accurate news of suppressing the bandits.

In the center of the town, the lights of the county government office gradually dimmed, and many servants of the office were walking outside. In the back office, the county magistrate sat with his legs crossed, his arms resting on the table beside him, his small eyes He narrowed his eyes slightly, seeming to be thinking about something.

While he was lost in thought, there was a sudden noise outside. Someone was shouting. The county magistrate came back to his senses and listened strangely. There were heavy footsteps outside the room. He couldn't help but stand up. He was also confused and didn't know what to do. Who came to look for me in such a noisy way.

pop-

The county magistrate, who was still waiting for people outside to knock on the door, was suddenly startled. He watched dumbfounded as a big knife slashed into the wooden door. Then the blade withdrew from the door, and another knife slashed in. The blade broke through the wooden board with a metallic light. A figure walked in from behind the shattered door.

"Wei Dingguo, what are you going to do?"

The light in the room was swayed by the cold wind blowing in, and then he stood up straight stubbornly, illuminating the faces of the two people in the room. The divine fireman wearing a red shirt licked the corner of his mouth and sneered in his nose: "Old parents, long time no see, The young man thinks a lot about Zhen!"

click-

The big feet wearing combat boots stepped on the broken wooden bars, and the heavy body pressed on the long wooden boards, making a breaking sound.

The county magistrate saw that he was holding a knife with a murderous look on his face. He suddenly became a little scared. He took two steps back and sat down on a chair before he could stand upright. He quickly stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, I'm afraid." The county knows that it was all my fault before, not that it was against General Wei."

Seeing that the other party was still walking forward steadily, his legs couldn't help but step on the ground. However, the seat was pressed against the wall, but he had no way to retreat, so he had to shout: "This county can give you money, a lot of money!"

Wei Dingguo grinned: "No need, the young general has caught the old servant Xie. He has already made a move in advance."

The magistrate's eyes widened. The divine fire general took two fierce steps, swung his sword and slashed fiercely.

puff--

The blade penetrated the flesh and blood spattered three feet. (End of chapter)
