Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Jingyuan City.

Bright candles were lit, and Wanyan Loushi and his son sat behind the table in the room. This was a house of an unknown owner in Jingyuan City. After Wanyan's troops entered the city, this place was requisitioned as a place for meetings. However, the valuables inside had been looted by the war, and it looked much more empty.

"Marshal, why didn't you call us when Hulu came?"

A rough voice came from outside the door. Wanyan Loushi frowned and looked at the generals who hurried in from outside. Wanyan Chanchun was the most anxious and almost ran into the door. Behind him, Wanyan Xishi supported Wanyan Shitumen, Wanyan Cibusi, Wanyan Chang and other generals to come in one after another.

"There's nothing good to hear. Can you guess what he said?" Wanyan Loushi replied calmly, waving his hand for everyone to sit down: "He just advised us to take the army to Huanglongfu."

He bowed slightly to Wanyan Shitumen and said, "Is Shitumen Meng'an feeling better now?"

"I'm strong, this injury won't kill me." The old general looked up and laughed, "But Lou Shi, you won't agree to Hulu, will you?"

Everyone below looked at the burly figure sitting at the head of the table. The firelight flickered, and an attendant came in and put down the wine. Wanyan Loushi picked up the wine bowl and said, "The army is short of supplies now. These wines are from the previous defenders. Everyone, drink them first."

The people at the table all looked a little anxious. Wanyan Loushi drank a sip and then said with a smile: "It seems that none of you have much in mind. Well, let's talk about the conditions at Huanglong Mansion first." He gently put the wine bowl on the table and said: "Hu Lu's reasoning is just as you thought. He wants us to go back to Huanglong Mansion."

Wanyan Chanchun wanted to speak, but his father pressed him on his legs and glared at him, and then he listened obediently.

"Wuqimai gave me a good offer. He will replace Nianhan as the commander-in-chief, and I will be in charge of the entire army. At the same time, Xinzhou will be given to me to garrison, and I will have full authority to decide on the appointment of officials and generals." His face showed no emotion. Wanyan Loushi looked at the old general and said, "Shitumen Meng'an will be the commander-in-chief, Chanchun and Xishi can be Meng'an, and the Dalai Lama will be in charge of the promotion of officials when he enters the court, and he will also be a clan official to manage his fellow clansmen in the court."

The people below had different expressions. Wanyan Chanchun's eyes were bright, and he seemed ready to make a move.

Wanyan Loushi looked at the majestic general sitting at the back and said, "Ci Bushi can also be promoted to the commander-in-chief. Jingyuan City will be handed over to you. The appointment of generals and officials will be decided by you, just like mine."

The dark-complexioned sturdy man pursed his lips and said nothing.

Wanyan Loushi glanced around at everyone and said, "In addition, the land around Huanglongfu can be given to you first. You can choose any area and just move your tribe here."

He raised his hand, picked up the wine bowl and took a sip: "This is what Hulu told me, what do you think?"

No one spoke in the room for a while. Wanyan Shitumen and Wanyan Chang drank slowly from their wine bowls. Wanyan Chanchun's breathing became heavier. He stood up and said, "We are all from the same clan. Du Bojilie said that the Liaodong Jurchens are one family. We should fight against the brutal Liao people together. I think..."

"Cicada - stupid -"

The loud voice emphasized and prolonged the tone, and Wanyan Shitumen held the wine bowl to his mouth and said, "Sit down and drink."

Wanyan Chanchun turned around and said, "Dad... I..."

"Sit down! Drink!" The veteran's voice was slightly louder and he repeated it again.

The person who was standing opened his mouth and had to sit down. He picked up the wine bowl and drank it in one gulp with some displeasure, then poured another bowl and gulped it down.

Wanyan Shitumen took a sip of wine, wiped the wine stains from his lips, and looked at Wanyan Loushi: "Wu Qimai's conditions are very good, no... too good. I want to know how the Marshal decided."

"Me?" Wanyan Loushi looked at him and smiled: "I said I need to think about it again, but this will not prevent you from making a decision."

The people in the room looked at each other and fell silent for a while. Only the sound of Wanyan Chanchun drinking loudly could be heard in this silent room. Some people closed their eyes or stroked their beards in deep thought. Wanyan Loushi and his son propped themselves up on their knees and looked at the expressions of the crowd. Before they could speak, there was a sound of running outside. The young Tushan Hexi strode into the room and bowed to Wanyan Loushi: "General, there are envoys from the Qi army outside."

Wanyan Chanchun stopped pouring the wine. The whole room was silent for a moment. Everyone looked at the young man who came in. Then Wanyan Loushi stood up suddenly and said, "Please come in!"

……

The night wind by the river was a little chilly, and the branches were rustling overhead. The figures in black armor were surrounded, and the soldiers holding swords, spears, bows and crossbows looked unfriendly.

Wanyan Bendu stood in the front, leading his warhorse. With a complicated expression, he looked at the soldiers pointing their swords and spears at him. Wulindahe came closer and asked, "Do you want to fight?"

The two Puliyans who were standing in front and staring at them turned their gazes towards him.

"No." Wanyan Bendu reacted quickly, interrupted him immediately, turned around and glared at the fierce-looking man, leaned his head over, and said, "Listen to me here, don't make any rash decisions and cause trouble for me."

He turned his head and looked at Pu Liyan with evil in his eyes, and took a breath: "Don't listen to this fool's nonsense, we have no intention of breaking in."

"We don't care about that." Puliyan, who was standing on the left, snorted and looked at everyone provocatively: "If you want to fight, we will accompany you."

Wulindahe opened his eyes wide, snorted and looked back provocatively, but was dragged back by Chulidi, who was a little worried.

The Wanyan soldiers in the front gripped their weapons tighter and aimed their bows and crossbows at that direction.

When Tu Shan Hexi arrived, he saw a tense situation, so he hurried over and shouted, "What are you doing? Put down your weapons, this is the Marshal's guest."

The soldiers lowered their weapons upon hearing the sound. The young attendant finally breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward. He looked Wanyan Bendu up and down, and said with a bow, "Please follow me." He then looked at the soldiers behind him and said, "Just wait here."

Wanyan Bendu thought about it, turned around and said, "Wulindahe, follow me out, the rest of you wait here."

However, he was afraid that Wulindaha might cause trouble here again, so he simply took him in with him.

Tu Shan He was happy to see that he had made the decision, and he held out his hand: "Come this way, the Marshal and all the Meng'an and Mouke are waiting."

Wanyan Bendu immediately followed him, and the four of them walked quickly together and soon entered the house.

After handing his weapons to the gatekeeper, Wanyan Bendu stepped into the house. Looking at the familiar faces in the room, he forced a smile and bowed: "Envoy Wanyan Bendu from Qi greets Marshal Loushi."

Behind the table, everyone from the Wanyan tribe looked at him. Wanyan Huonu suddenly sighed: "You are still alive..."

Wanyan Loushi waved his hand to stop him from talking, and nodded: "It is really a happy thing to see familiar faces again." After a pause, he asked: "When did you work for Lu Bu?"

Wanyan Bendu's mouth twitched: "Not long. By the way, Wushu and Erliduo are still alive."

Wanyan Loushi sighed: "This is good news."

Wanyan Shitumen and Wanyan Chang, who were sitting at the table, sighed together. Wanyan Chanchun drank the wine in his bowl in one gulp and stood up: "You are here to persuade the King of Qi to surrender, right? Tell me what conditions you have." (End of this chapter)
