"Lord!" Wei Xu stared at Zhang Liaoyuan's retreating figure, "Zhang Wenyuan has no good intentions!" Thief
Lu Bu was noncommittal.
"This article must have come from far away to plot to seize the master's power!" Wei Xu said fiercely, "When Guishang is defeated, his plot will be exposed!"
"Okay," Lu Bu waved his hand, "I understand."
"Lord..."
Wei Xu was about to say more, but was interrupted by Lu Bu impatiently, "I said! Okay! Didn't you hear that?!"
"..." Wei Xu lowered his head, "Subordinate, I only care for my lord..."
Lu Bu looked at Wei Xu, was silent for a while, and softened his tone a little, "Okay, I know, you go down first... We are going to set off tomorrow, and we still need to take care of the military affairs, and we can't make any omissions..." Thief
Wei Xu quickly agreed and then retreated.
Lu Bu watched Wei Xu leave and sat down again.
The bonfire was leaping and crackling.
After sitting in silence for a while, Lu Bu fell asleep in silence.
Not long after sleeping, Lu Bu suddenly woke up from his dream, then turned over and sat up, clasping his hands, as if he was about to attack the enemies hidden around him at the next moment.
There was silence all around, except for the occasional snoring in the distance and the chirping of some insects nearby.
Lu Bu breathed heavily. Thief
There was a fierce light in his eyes, and he looked around. After a long time, Lu Bu's tense body gradually relaxed, then he lay down again and closed his eyes...
In the evening of the next day, Lu Bu was fully armed and stood on the hill.
This is about twenty miles southeast of Qiu Ci.
The Tianshan Mountains extend from the north, where they merge with the plateau of the Western Regions. It seems that they are unwilling to climb to the sky, so some rolling hills are left in this area. Where Lu Bu is standing,
It's one of them.
The wind became more and more fierce, passing through the undulating hills, making a whining sound in the ears, and the bushes and weeds on the slopes up and down the slopes rustled together. Occasionally, there were one or two wolves howling in the wilderness.
, it sounded particularly sad and shrill when it came to my ears.
Listening to the howl of the wild wolf, Lu Bu's hand trembled slightly, which surprised Lu Bu himself. He looked down at his hand, as if he felt that his hand betrayed him. Although the nightmare in last night
, many scenes have become vague and indifferent, only one left a very deep impression...
In the nightmare, Lu Bu was surrounded by all kinds of resentment, fear and sorrow. Eyes, big and small, filled the whole space and the whole world. Lu Bu couldn't help but get goosebumps when he thought about it.
.thief
There was also the aura of death that accompanied those eyes, which was like a gloomy curse, imprinted on Lu Bu's heart. At this moment, it was rolling over again, making him feel chilled in his heart.
Lu Bu had looked directly into the eyes of many people before they died. When he was young, Lu Bu would not have thought of this at all, nor would he have felt the horror of those eyes filled with various strong emotions, but now he
Suddenly he felt those things that he had ignored earlier or forgotten.
Maybe he overlooked more things.
What did he want when he left Jiuyuan?
Has he got it now?
What else haven’t you got?
And that piece of paper...thief
That piece of paper looked like a joke.
Lu Bu stood silently.
Lu Bu really never thought that Fei Qian still kept the piece of paper he signed back then.
But people always change, right?
The true love back then was truly unforgettable for the rest of my life, but what could be done?
Lu Bu couldn't help but look east. The setting sun fell gently on this piece of land in the Western Regions. The mountains in the distance were like dark blue, and the horizon lay quietly, like an innocent child who had nothing to do with the world.
Children will eventually grow up, and innocence will eventually turn into sophistication. Thieves
Lu Bu was afraid of getting hurt, so he would rather hurt others.
Before going to the Western Regions, Lu Bu had talked a lot with Fei Qian, from soldiers to horses, from the Western Regions to Western Europe, from land to population, from military affairs to civil affairs. It seemed that they had talked about everything, but the only thing he had not mentioned was,
After Lu Bu conquered the Western Regions, what would happen next?
Lu Bu didn't dare to ask.
Fei Qian didn't say anything.
The reason Lu Bu didn't dare to ask was that Lu Bu was no longer the confident Lu Fengxian of the past. At that time, Lu Bu already had the idea of escape in his heart, but he was unwilling to admit it. Lu Bu
Afraid, afraid of losing again, once again being driven like a dog, wandering around, with its tail between its legs, in panic all day long.
Lu Bu didn't know the reason why Fei Qian didn't tell him...
Because Fei Qian at that time was already different from Fei Qian in Luoyang.
When he was in Luoyang, Feiqian was like a pool of water, crystal clear and very simple. But when Lu Bu was about to conquer the Western Regions, he felt that Feiqian was already like a sea. There may be no waves on the surface, but the water surface
There's an undercurrent surging underneath, and it's very complicated.
Therefore, Lu Bu couldn't believe it.
He is afraid.
Panic.
Even after conquering the Western Region, he was still uneasy.
Lu Bu longed for more things to protect himself. Men, horses, power, merit, everything was because of the little child huddled together under Lu Bu's arrogant and complacent exterior.
A child who has not yet grown up. A thief
The war horse snorted, disrupting Lu Bu's thoughts, causing him to suddenly wake up and shift his attention to what was in front of him.
The Kushan army is approaching, and it is clear that they are preparing to fight and use their numerical advantage to slowly wear away themselves. Therefore, the advantage in frontal combat is not very great. Just like Zhang Liao said, if the Kushan army can be pulled apart, it will be divided.
But if you eat it, you have a greater chance of winning.
Lu Bu looked in the direction of Qiu Ci.
In that direction, it was still peaceful.
After nightfall, Zhang Liao would set fire to Qiuci City and take on the responsibility of luring the enemy, and then lure the Kushan army here.
There are not many places where you can ambush in the Western Region, but they are not few. The natural ravines are enough to hide some troops. There are hills here, and there is also a large area of flat plains. Although it is not the best place for ambush, it is
It's barely enough.
Lu Bu raised his head and looked up. Not long after the sunset, the stars appeared impatiently in the sky. Thieves
Those little flickering lights were like countless cold eyes.
These eyes...
They are the eyes full of murderous intent in nightmares, and they seem to be the eyes full of wisdom of Fei Qian in Chang'an in the distance. They are constantly overlapping and increasing, staring at the Western Region and Lu Bu.
The present and the past seem to be superimposed.
Ding Yuan's fearful and puzzled eyes, his scream before death, "Why..."
Dong Zhuo's roar seemed to be vaguely audible, "I gave you food, clothes, a BMW, and an official position. You are my dog! How dare you attack me?! How dare you?"
!If I die... you will die too... you will get nothing, nothing... you will eventually be betrayed... and I... will keep watching... waiting..."
"Why don't I trust you? Because you are not worthy of trust!" Yuan Shao's abusive voice was still vaguely echoing in Lu Bu's ears, "If you betray once or twice, you will definitely betray a third time! Countless times! In the end, you yourself
You will be like Ding Yuan, just like Dong Zhuo, betraying all your relatives! Who else will use you? Who else will dare to help you? Once or twice, relying on luck, you want to take shortcuts, steal, rob, deceive,
But little tricks are always little tricks that don’t make it onto the stage! You are a shameless villain!" Thief
There was also Zhang Miao's smiling face, "Marquis Wen, it doesn't make sense if you say this... We have agreed before that you must resist Cao Mengde... You promised with all your heart, but now you say
I can’t stop it anymore. I want reinforcements and supplies. Do you think I’m stupid?”
As for the three-inch Cao Cao, he laughed arrogantly, "You are just a lost dog!"
no!
It's not like this!
Who dares to betray me?!
No one can betray me!
Lu Bu gritted his teeth and his blood boiled. He felt his violent heartbeat and the rising anger... Thief
There is also a faint, small fear underneath the anger.
Waves of cold sweat broke out on Lu Bu's back, and he felt an indescribable coldness when the wind blew him.
On this early summer night, Lu Bu could not feel the slightest warmth.
Lu Bu suppressed his uneasiness, turned around and waved his hand behind him. Wei Xu hurried over and whispered, "My lord, may I ask if you have any orders?"
Lu Bu said, "Let the men move nearby and make no noise, so as not to stiffen their hands and feet in the face of battle and prevent them from holding swords and guns." The terrain in this area is uneven, and the soldiers are hidden in the valleys between the hills.
If the Kushan Army hadn't come close, they would never have noticed that there were soldiers and horses ambushed here. However, the disadvantage is that the surface of the Western Region is dry and prone to wind and sand. If there is a lot of movement during the day, it will inevitably be easy for others to see.
Now that it's nighttime, it's time to do some activities.
Wei Xu smiled and said: "My lord is still considerate! I will go and pass the order right now."
After a while, Wei Xu came back to resume his life, and then Lu Bu could hear some small sounds coming down the slope. Thief
Lu Bu closed his eyes and asked in a low voice: "Do you have any questions about my plan this time?"
Wei Xu glanced at Lu Bu and hesitated, not daring to ask.
Lu Bu exhaled, "Didn't you say Zhang Wenyuan was untrustworthy before?"
"Lord, I just feel...Zhang Wenyuan is not of the same mind as us after all..." Wei Xu whispered, "If he really wants to harm us, now is probably the best opportunity..."
"Hmm..." Lu Bu responded, and then said with some emotion, "You, don't think that Zhang Wenyuan may do this or that, so you doubt him... It's just a possibility, so just beware of Zhang Wenyuan first. This is wrong... After all
He also worked with us back then..."
Lu Bu looked up at the night sky and said slowly: "You can't kill that person just because you are afraid of what he will do... This is wrong... What's more, now that the Kushan army is coming, so is Zhang Wenyuan.
It is only right for people of the Han family to join hands and fight against each other. If at this moment, they are still at odds with Zhang Wenyuan, how can they still fight?"
In fact, Lu Bu had been thinking about all this for a long time. He deliberately told Wei Xu now, not to really hear Wei Xu have any better suggestions or plans, but to use this reason to evaluate his confidence.
Rather than explaining it to Wei Xu, it was actually more of a matter of repeating it to myself. Thief
The Kushan Allied Forces have a large number of people, but a large number of people does not necessarily guarantee victory. As long as they can fight a simple and beautiful battle and make the Kushan Allied Forces suffer some hardships, various disagreements will arise, which will eventually lead to the collapse of the entire Allied Forces.
Just like the Shandong Allied Forces back then...
Qiu Ci was the Yangcheng of those days.
Everything is like a repetition, everything is like a repeat.
Lu Bu was once again caught up in the memories of those years, and his expression became slightly dazed. At that time, he couldn't see clearly the direction of the future. He could only drift with the tide in the turbulent waves, being held hostage. It seemed as if he had made a choice on his own.
In fact, it's all in the calculations of others.
Then can he see the future clearly now?
Can you escape this river and escape other people's schemes? Thief
Lu Bu glanced at Wei Xu.
Wei Xu smiled at Lu Bu.
This smile looks a little silly.
Lu Bu also laughed.
It's also a bit silly.
Sometimes when Lu Bu looked at Wei Xu, he felt that Wei Xu was actually him.
A more timid, more incompetent self, but with amplified desires. Thief
"Defeating the Kushans will be a complete achievement." Lu Bu said to Wei Xu, "When the time comes... forget it, the most important thing right now is to defeat the Kushans! Do you understand? Defeat the Kushans!"
As the night gradually deepened, a little light suddenly rose in the direction of Qiu Ci, and soon more light and fire joined in, forming a dazzling brilliance that seemed to penetrate from the ground to the sky. The sky was illuminated by the fire and seemed to be missing.
A piece of ink!
Faintly, it seemed that there was also a noisy sound in the night wind.
Chasing escaped prey is an instinct engraved in human genes in ancient times. So when the Kushan coalition saw the Han army burning Qiu Ci and fleeing, how many people could resist this instinctive drive?
Wei Xu clapped his hands and said, "Haha, this fire is so fast! It's such a big fire! This fire can be seen not only twenty miles away, but even a hundred miles away! The Guishang Allied Forces will definitely send people to test it.
Then lure them here... a pincer attack from the front and back! That's a big victory!"
Lu Bu looked at the rising fire and breathed a sigh of relief. Everything seemed to be going according to plan.
But for some reason, Lu Bu still had a faint worry in his heart, like a ferocious beast entrenched deep in his heart. In the dark abyss, it revealed its ferocious eyes and roared in a low voice. Thief.
It's not that Lu Bu has never fought tough and vicious battles before, but why does he feel so much pressure this time?
Lu Bu didn't quite understand.
I didn’t quite understand it, so I didn’t continue to think about it.
Wei Xu's breathing quickened and he said excitedly: "My lord, do you want to tell your sons to get ready for battle now?"
Lu Bu nodded and said, "That's fine, but there's no need to be too hasty. Let's move around first and give the horses some food... No matter how fast the Kushan army moves, it will still take an hour or two... We can't use up too much energy right now."
,so as not to……"
Just as he was talking, Lu Bu suddenly felt some strange tremors on the ground, and then a rolling sound came over.
Lu Bu couldn't help being surprised. There were clearly a large number of cavalry galloping quickly! Thieves
But this direction, this quantity...
Nothing is right!
In the blink of an eye, the sound of horse hooves resounded throughout the land, and the earth trembled!
The night was shrouded, smoke and dust could not be seen, and the vibration of the earth could not provide accurate direction, as if enemies were coming from all directions.
Lu Bu looked to the west, but there was nothing unusual in the west. When Lu Bu turned to the east, there was a buzzing in his head. To the east, there seemed to be torches waving and shaking all over the mountains and plains, as if the ground was rising.
Countless meteors swept over the sky from the east!
Who is this?
Is it a hussar? A thief?
Lu Bu's face suddenly turned livid. Why was there no scout over there to inform him in advance? Lu Bu thought about it and realized it was Zhang Liao! It was Zhang Liao who said that he should pay close attention to the movements of Kushan in order to grasp the best time to set fire!
So most of the scouts were used on the west side!
It seemed like an icy coldness spread directly from the ground to his whole body, freezing Lu Bu's mind!
Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan!
Could it be that this so-called advice from Liao was actually intended to frame me?! It was said that it burned Qiu Cicheng and attracted the Kushan coalition forces, but it was actually a signal to the troops in the rear with the intention of annihilating me here?!
Good plan!
So vicious! Thief
What a great Zhang Wenyuan!
What a great hussar general!
"My lord, my lord!" Wei Xu shouted eagerly.
Lu Bu recovered from the initial shock and found that not only Wei Xu, but also the guards behind him and the soldiers down the slope had panic expressions on their faces.
Wei Xu seemed to have lost all color, with a pale face and trembling hands. He asked eagerly: "Lord, this is the enemy... the enemy is coming from the east... what should I do, what should I do?"
"Haha...hahahaha!" Lu Bu suddenly laughed loudly, "You guys! They are just clowns! As long as I, Lu Fengxian, am here, who in the world can stop me?! You guys! Now that these little thieves have jumped out,
That saves me the trouble of looking for him! Give me the order! Immediately mount the army and follow him to fight! Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, he will be flattened!"
Amid the roaring response of the soldiers, Lu Bu descended the slope, mounted his horse, and then led his troops around from behind the hill to face the enemy from the east... Thief
Behind the hills, the Kushan Allied Forces coming from the west cannot see their troops, but the enemies coming from the east can easily see the lights coming from their side, since they can no longer hide them.
, it’s better to fight directly!
In the pitch-black night, the enemy troops coming from the east seemed to be slowing down a bit with their overwhelming flames, and gradually gathered to form a bright sea of torches. They seemed to be arranging their formations, tightening up the formations that had become loose due to the rapid march.
Who is this enemy coming from the east?
Lu Bu tightened his grip on the Fang Tian Painted Halberd in his hand.
No matter what, anyone who appears in front of him now is an enemy!
Anyone who dares to block the footsteps of Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian is an enemy!
There is only one way to deal with the enemy... thieves
kill!
Just kill, that's all.
Fight through, fight out, fight your way out, fight your way out of the world!
It’s so cool to kill!
This is Lu Bu's consistent thought over the years, and it is also the path he has followed from beginning to end!
"kill!"
Lu Bu raised Fang Tian's painted halberd and roared like a trapped animal... Thief
