227 The night at the foot of the mountain is not safe, and the sparks are weak.
However, it was said that Lu Bu and his group were escaping from Hetao, and Lu Bu rode the wind-chasing horse at the front of the team. His eyes were steady. Although he seemed to be looking forward with a relaxed expression, Lu Bu was actually secretly alert and listened to all directions, fearing that he would be attacked suddenly before he could notice it.
As long as it is not a sudden attack by the large army that destroyed Xing, with the royal tiger talisman in Lu Bu's arms, even if Wang Li personally led his army, although he could not expect to command the soldiers to kill Wang Li and wait with him to destroy the Qin State, if they just stay here for a day and do not allow them to pursue their own group again, this small thing can still be easily done with the "ability" of the royal tiger talisman.
"The towns cannot be visited anymore. Let's spend the night here today. We can take a breath after leaving the Hetao territory tomorrow." Lu Bu selected an open space at the foot of the mountain as today's rest place. Everyone had suffered a whole day of bumpy storm and wanted to rest. When they heard Lu Bu selected a rest place, a few cheers came from the team.
Lu Bu held his young son Lu De in his arms from the carriage, and used some candies and wooden toys in his luggage to coax Lu De who was crying.
"I'm tired and go to rest all day today. De'er should let me coax it." Lu Zhi took Lu De and patted it gently. Lu Ge and Yu Ji, who were beside him, also brought dry food and dry cloth, wiped the dust on Lu Bu's face and paid tribute to Lu Bu's Five Insect Temple with food.
"You want your father to hug you, you want your father to hug you~~"
Lu De struggled in Lu Zhi's arms and wanted to jump out and return to Lu Bu's arms. Looking at Lu De's face that was red due to force, Lu Bu smiled and put the dry food in his hand aside, and then took Lu De from Lu Zhi's arms: "It's true that he's still kissing Dad, this little thing."
Lu Zhi glanced at Lu Yu and Yu Ji, who were full of envy behind Lu Bu, and chuckled with a hint of pride on her face: "De'er has inherited the strength of her husband. Although she is so big, she already has the strength far beyond the children of the same age. I don't know who will have more strength from her husband when she grows up."
Lu Bu spoiled and gently pinched his son's fat little face, and smiled without raising his head, "As long as he tries to strengthen Ao De'er's body, his strength will definitely surpass me when he grows up. As the saying goes, each generation is stronger than the other! Hahaha."
After everyone finished their dinner, they all returned to their respective carriages and slept with their clothes. Only Lu Bu rejected the kindness of Lu Zhi and others, insisting on laying a layer of straw mat on the ground and resting on the spot. Lu Zhi naturally didn't understand the habit of Lu Bu. However, Zhongliping, who took the initiative to rest on the ground a few days ago, Lu Ze and others knew that it was not enough to arrange one or two people to guard the police every night.
Because the one or two people in charge of the security guard could only guard against the invasion of some wild beasts that were blind at night. In the dark night when they almost couldn't see their fingers, if they just wanted to use their eyes to guard, they could not detect large-scale enemy troops attacking from afar in time. Lu Bu, Zhongli Ping and others, who had been in the army for many years, naturally knew that the most reliable "tool" of guard at night was not the most reliable eyes during the day, but the ear close to the ground.
But everything is not completely absolute. Just like this time, although Lu Bu was personally doing the "Di Ting" on the ground, he still couldn't find a team of thousands of Qin troops in the distance, quietly approaching the ray of fire that broke out from Lu Bu and his garrison. The examiners might ask the thousands of why Lu Bu couldn't notice it?
Through the cover that night brought to the team, he found that thousands of Qin soldiers leading horses were slowly advancing. The commanders of these Qin cavalry units were not only afraid that the troops riding war horses would startle the target ahead too early, but even asked the soldiers to wrap the hooves of each war horse with cloth, and the horse's mouth was also covered with cages.
The generals who led the troops not only put a lot of effort into the horses, but even the soldiers who led the horses were also wrapped in cloth and were ordered to hold a common coin of the Qin Dynasty. Under these heavy defenses, the ears that Lu Bu and others were originally on guard could not find the faint sounds made by these cavalrymen when they marched so far away.
Fortunately, the resting place chosen by Lu Bu is indeed extraordinary. It is against a hillside that is not very high. In front of it is a tributary of the Yellow River, and there are jungles derived from hillsides on both sides. Although the thousands of Qin cavalry did not alarm Lu Bu and others when they passed through the plains before, they alarmed the birds that were originally resting on the trees when they entered the woods. In an instant, hundreds of birds flapped their wings, flew into the dark night and made horror.
"Hmm? No! The forest birds must be alarmed by the pursuit soldiers who sneaked into the jungle!! Get up quickly, the pursuers are coming!!" Lu Bu was awakened by the sound of birds, grabbed the Fang Tian Huaji on the side and began to turn over and jump on the chase wind that was gnawing at night grass. After a warning, he took the lead in running to the place where the birds were alarmed.
"Although my brother has the tiger talisman to protect him, he may not be able to deal with the pursuers. I will help the general with his strength! Shizhi, you and Ziqi and others will protect everyone first!!" Tonight was originally Lu Ze responsible for Zhiye. Seeing Lu Bu leaving first, Lu Ze also flipped over his mount, and greeted Lu Shizhi, who had just walked off the carriage with his sword behind him, and quickly chased him in the direction where Lu Bu left.
Su Jiao looked at the birds in the night above his head with some resentment. If these feathered beasts had not ruined their good things, he would have caught the targets ahead of him off guard. It’s a pity that all the time he wasted in the previous town turned into nothing at this time.
"Get on the horse and rush over! The thief leader Lu Bu wants to capture alive, but General Wang Li personally ordered him. Never let him commit suicide or escape!!" Su Jiao turned on the horse. Although they were now in the woods, the woods here were not lush. Apart from not being able to let the cavalry troops attack densely, there was no big obstacle to the horse's progress. In Su Jiao's opinion, whether the three thousand Qin iron cavalry under his command formed a dense array to attack, it would be easy to deal with Lu Bu and dozens of people around him, including Furu.
When he heard the name of Lu Bu again, he became the leader of the thief in General Su Jiao. So far, except for saying that Lu Bu had committed insignificant crimes several times along the way, General Su Jiao could not say any convincing reasons to explain why General Lu Bu defected, and why he needed to use three thousand elite cavalry of the Qin Dynasty to pursue General Lu Bu and other family members, his former subordinates.
"Remember! No matter what Lu Bu said, don't be misled by his verbal words. It should be noted that the person who commanded the Northern Legion is no longer your General Méng Tian. The replacement of him is General Wang Jian's grandson, General Wang Ben's only son, and General Wang Li!!" Su Jiao was worried that these Qin cavalry who were originally affiliated with the Northern Legion would show mercy because Lu Bu was originally a faction of the Méng Tian, so he shouted loudly on the way.
But before Su Jiao heard the response from the soldiers behind him, he heard a loud shout in front of him with a sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic voice: "I'm saying that I'm talking nonsense? Then why don't you collude Wang Li's bastard with Mr. Hu Hai, the eunuch of the dog Zhao Gao, forged the edict of His Majesty the First Emperor to force Mr. Fusu to death to plan the throne of the Qin Emperor? Such a despicable scandal tells the soldiers behind you? Or Wang Li's bastard, didn't you even tell me everything?"
"Lu Bu!!" Su Jiao Shen looked at the figure sitting alone on the wind-chasing god horse on the hillside path in complexity.
Lu Bu, who defeated himself in Jicheng, tied with Ruan Wengzhong, the most powerful soldier in the army at that time, and joined the Qin army with his extraordinary martial arts. After several major battles, he grew up to be the most brave general in the younger generation of the Qin Dynasty. He was personally awarded the rank of General of the Qin Dynasty by His Majesty the First Emperor of the Great Qin several years ago, and completed the journey that he had completed in just over ten years. If Su Jiao did not have a trace of jealousy towards Lu Bu, a rising man, even Su Jiao himself was a little unbelievable. However, while being jealous of Lu Bu's good luck and having achieved great achievements in several major battles, Su Jiao was particularly impressed by Lu Bu's extraordinary martial arts.
Now General Wang Li, whom he was serving, and General Méng Tian, whom Lu Bu, was competing for power. At this time, he was going to capture Lu Bu alive with three thousand troops. This made Su Jiao feel a little sad. After all, everyone is a warrior of the Great Qin Dynasty. He has to kill each other on the battlefield of expanding territory for the Great Qin Dynasty. This is a bit ridiculous. Aren’t the Great Qin soldiers proud of being able to share life and death with each other? When should they wave the butcher knife in their hands on their robes?
What I think is in my heart, at this time, Su Jiao cannot give up the task of Wang Li handing over to him and let Lu Bu leave because of that little thought. After all, Su Jiao is also a family of wife and children. Even if Su Jiao does not have a future military career, he still has to think about his wife, children and parents. Complete the task of Wang Li handing over to him and capture Lu Bu alive is the only way to ensure the safety of himself and his wife, children and parents.
"Lu Bu, do you still want to resist unnecessary? There are three thousand Qin Iron Cavalry behind me, and you are just one person, no, and the guy who just came beside you is just two people. Do you really think that your Lu Bu's martial arts can defeat three thousand?" Su Jiao glanced at Lu Ze who came behind Lu Bu, and his tone was full of disdain.
Lu Bu casually threw a fire on the grass beside him. The fire tongue licked the dry grass and trees, and soon turned into a bunch of fires, and it became faintly ignited.
I know what happens next, and see if I don’t cry and then break it down again~~!
