Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

"Recruiting another army, that's easy to say..." After taking a sip of water, Lu Bu glanced at Xiao Haili and became a little angry: "Can't you prepare the money and food?"

Xiao Haili smiled and took off his iron helmet, stroking his bald head with his hand.

Throwing the water bag back to Xiao Haili, and seeing Du Bo, Shi Wengong, and Yuan Lang approaching, Lu Bu spoke with some regret: "According to the current money and food situation in each state, we can support an army of more than 5,000 horses and 150 people." The number of armored cavalry is already the limit, no more..."

Looking at the few people sitting down, he joked: "I'm afraid that General Yue will drink the northwest wind."

"The general is joking." Du Bo said with a smile: "Leave us and the other soldiers here, and we cannot let the general go hungry under any circumstances."

Lu Bu laughed and cursed without getting angry. There was a noise in the cold wind. Several people looked up and saw Niu Gao and Zeng Tu running into the forest with a few cavalry. With their bows and arrows drawn, several fat hares were shot. Killed on the ground, someone immediately dismounted and picked it up first, ran towards this side and offered the hare.

"Don't go too far, it's time to return later." After admonishing Lu Bu, he did not refuse the kindness of his men. This was not a war, so he could relax a little, as long as he didn't miss the time to return.

At that moment, Yu Cheng took the hare and carried it to the river behind to handle it. Several guards built a simple rack, lit a bonfire, and prepared to roast the hare.

The sound of water flowing by the river was intertwined with people's voices from time to time. Birds flew across the sky along with the cold wind, and there were a few brisk bird calls. A skinned and washed hare was stuck on a wooden stick, and the flames burned it. A lot of grease dripped out from the grill and dropped into the fire, making a hissing sound.

The sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance, and a cavalryman ran up and shouted, "There are thieves in the forest, come to our aid quickly!" The people who were chatting couldn't help but stop talking. Xiao Haili and Yuan Lang stood up and faced the direction of the sound. Looking over, he saw Niu Gao and Zeng Tuyuan who were hunting people running in the forest. The old men among the large number of cavalry couldn't help but stand up with their weapons in hand. Seeing this, the recruits followed suit and drew their weapons and wanted to mount their horses. He was stopped by the general.

"Send someone to take a look." Lu Bu frowned and ordered without looking back.

At that moment, Xiao Haili waved his hand, and he saw Dong Ping on the periphery leaping onto his horse and shouting: "Follow me!" A group of cavalry beside him hurriedly got on their horses and followed him, their horses' hooves flying, and they rolled along the road. He kicked up the dust and ran towards the woods.

"I don't know who doesn't know how to die."

Yuan Lang said something in his mouth, looked at the knights standing or sitting around and shook his head, if there are enemies coming...

It's really a bit blinding.

"It may be a misunderstanding." Xiao Haili sat down again and sat on the stone with his legs crossed: "Liaodong is a place where various ethnic groups live together, especially the Jurchen and Bohai ethnic groups are more arrogant, and they often have disputes and fights with other ethnic groups. It’s a common occurrence, and there’s no telling who Niu Gao and the others might have a dispute with.”

Yuan Lang turned around and looked around, looking at the Khitan man who was speaking: "A dispute? In front of five thousand cavalry?"

"This is impossible." Xiao Haili touched his bald head: "It's just that this forest is not just the road in front of us. If we go from other places..."

The Khitan shrugged, his meaning self-evident.

"We'll find out when they arrive. Let's eat something first." Lu Bu said lightly, reached out and picked up the roasted rabbit, tore off a leg and smelled it. It was very fragrant.

Then he handed it to Yu Cheng, motioning for him to divide it, and then he took the rabbit leg and started biting it.

Not long after, a noisy shout came from the forest. The cavalry that rushed in had returned. People with sharp eyes could see a figure crossing the backs of several war horses, which was obviously a captured person.

Throwing away the bones in his hands, he took the white towel handed over by Yu Cheng and wiped his hands. The figure on horseback over there quickly ran over. Niu Gao, Zeng Tu, and Dong Ping quickly jumped off their horses and hurried over: "Have you ever seen a big man?" General." Behind them, several figures wearing ordinary clothes were shaking on the stopped war horses. They seemed to think that they would not survive. "I have the guts to kill Grandpa!" "You are a coward, there are more people to bully than others!" "Bohai pigs and dogs!" The voices of yelling and cursing continued, and Lu Bu pointed his hand: "Tell me, what happened?"

Niu Gao and Zeng Tu looked at each other: "Reporting to the general, the young general saw these people poking their heads in the forest while hunting, and asked them what they were doing. Unexpectedly, these people pretended to be afraid and stepped forward to explain, but they actually started to do it. They wanted to steal our horses, so we started fighting with these people."

Dong Ping curled his lips: "After being captured, these people couldn't listen to anything they said. They kept yelling and cursing the Bohai people. I don't know if they did it intentionally."

Lu Bu looked over there and frowned: "Go and push these people over."

At that moment, five cavalrymen came from behind and threw the five men off their horses.

"what!"

"Ouch!"

The tied figure hit the ground, and several screams were heard. Lu Bu looked at the grinning people expressionlessly, his eyes passing over the face of an ordinary-looking man with two moles on his forehead. The man kept gritting his teeth and did not scream. Instead, he straightened his back and slowly sat up.

"Who are you waiting for? Why are you spying on our army?"

The five men sitting or lying on the ground looked sideways at Lu Bu, and then looked around. The man with two moles on his forehead raised his chest and spat: "Bah - you Bohai dogs, haven't you smelled grandpa a long time ago?" Did you catch me just now? Are you pretending to be confused now?”

"How can you talk!" Du Fu frowned and stood up.

Shi Wengong stood up together and pulled out the sword from his waist: "Just kill him."

Lu Bu waved his hand and said in a slow and calm tone: "Don't do this, they are not scolding someone."

The five people on the ground were stunned when they heard this, with uncertain expressions on their faces. The man with the mole on his forehead changed his expression and looked at him with his neck raised: "Bah, the Bohai dog is cunning! He also lied to me like this before, but I won't do the same thing. Fooled for the second time!”

Xiao Haili looked at Lu Bu, who had a somewhat ugly expression, and stood up and kicked the man with his toes: "This is me, General Hussars. How did we become Bohai people? Are you still awake?"

Pointing to the black and red flags surrounding him, he said, "Open your eyes and take a look. Is that what Gao Yongchang is using?"

The wind was blowing by, and from time to time, flags were fluttering in the wind. The five men looked at each other, and the man lying on the ground looked at the man with the mole sitting on the ground: "It seems that we really made a mistake..."

"Yeah, Gao Yongchang's flags are mostly blue and white, they seem to be different."

"What should I do?"

Four pairs of eyes looked at the man with the mole on his head. The man opened his mouth twice and suddenly changed from sitting to kneeling: "What happened today is all because I, Dong Xiong, made a wrong decision. If you want to hit or punish me, I Absolutely nothing!" (End of this chapter)
