Chapter 65 It is as fast as the wind (1)
At the same time, Lu Bu stood on the other side of the Fen River, raised his eyes to the northeast, noticed the faint sound of horses neighing from there, and thought to himself:
"It seems that Xingjun, who is acting as the vanguard, has reached the crossing point."
After thinking about this, he waved his hand.
Immediately afterwards, there was a rustling sound of the soil being plowed, and more than twenty wolf riders walked out of the darkness.
"Send the order to assist General Lu in building the bridge."
"promise."
The armor plates collided with each other, and these wolf-riding warriors conveyed orders on behalf of their masters as quickly as possible.
Not long after, hundreds of warriors with their shoulders against the wood rushed down the hillside.
Lu Li, who ordered the felling of trees to build a bridge, saw movement on the other side of the river, and his thoughts changed.
"You are waiting here."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled the reins, and the black-maned horse snorted and rushed across the deep ice to the other side of the river.
In the darkness, Lu Bu's eyes were like a hawk. After seeing the person clearly, he put down the carved long bow in his hand and clapped his horse to greet him.
Chen hour, dawn.
The two met as promised by the Fenshui River.
Different from the first time they met, this time Lu Bu changed into a scholar's uniform and wore heavy armor, which made people feel familiar and strange at the same time——
He wears a three-pronged purple gold crown with hair, a Xichuan red cotton flowered robe on his body, an animal-faced head-swallowing chain armor, an exquisite lion belt tied to his waist, a bow and arrow with him, and a painted halberd.
Seeing that Marquis Wen, who would become famous all over the world in the future, greeted him personally, Lu Li was overjoyed. He took two steps at a time, held his hand, and said with a smile, "How dare you trouble your brother to greet him in person?"
"Why are you so polite? It's been a thousand miles to come here from Yunzhong County. It's been a hard journey." Lu Bu also let out a hearty laugh and said: "Last time we said goodbye in a hurry, I thought we would have to wait ten days to see each other again.
I didn’t expect that only five days had passed.”
"The foreigners are all just chickens and dogs, and they are not worth a damn."
Hearing this, Lu Bu laughed loudly and held Lu Li's hand to show his closeness, "I was about to say goodbye for three days, and I was even more impressed, but you stopped me."
"Brother, what do you mean?"
"Hahaha, Wen Yuan wrote a letter saying that you crossed the border and killed King Guli. I wanted to give you a few words of praise, but you said they were just chickens and dogs. How can you praise me anymore?"
"Let's go, Meng Ming, this is not the place for conversation. You and I can talk freely from a high altitude."
The two military commanders met, and the conversation was very lively. Someone made arrangements for crossing the river, so the two walked towards the higher ground, chatting as they walked.
It can be seen that Lu Bu was really happy when he saw Lu Li returning from the victory. He held his hand tightly from beginning to end. Seeing that there were no soldiers around, he even called out in a friendly voice: "Meng Ming, I heard that you crossed the border.
Did you bring back a strong general when you attacked the thief?"
Zhang Liao has a very good relationship with Lu Bu and they often exchange letters. It is not surprising to know this.
Lu Li also felt that there was nothing to hide, so he nodded and said, "Not bad."
"Who is this gentleman?"
In Zhang Liao's letter, he said that Zhao Yun had an extraordinary appearance, eight feet in length, majestic appearance, and praised him as having the air of a general.
Because of this, Lu Bu became more and more curious. After all, how many people in the world can be praised by his close friend Zhang Liao?
Just two people!
One of them is right in front of me.
In Lu Bu's view, when it comes to personal force, Lu Li, a rising star in the Bingzhou Army, can be ranked fifth, followed by Gao Shun, Zhang Yang, Zhang Liao, and himself.
Because of this, he showed great concern for Zhao Yun, whom he had never met before.
In this way, Lu Li carefully introduced Zhao Yun's place of origin and personality. In the end, he could not hold back and said solemnly: Even though Zilong is just a fledgling, if he really wants to fight, he will never be his opponent.
"Meng Ming, you suffer from your inexperience in fighting. Don't underestimate yourself."
After saying that, Lu Bu let go of his hand, patted Lu Li's shoulder, his eyes focused on the sword on his waist, and then said: "It is better to practice the long halberd instead. This thing is flexible and can be used for hooking, pecking, stabbing, and cutting. It is most suitable for
The power of cavalry fighting is astonishing, not to mention that Wen Yuan and I are both good at using halberds, so we can give you some tips."
Fang Tian painted halberd, crescent halberd.
In addition, Dian Wei, Tai Shi Ci and other powerful generals also used halberds, so Lu Li lowered his head and pondered the feasibility of this matter.
Wenshui is a big city.
Zhou Tian looked eastward from the army and saw the vast plains as far as the eye could see. Only the towering towers attracted special attention.
"This city occupies a large area, with a circumference of at least forty miles!" Du Quan followed on horseback.
The compacted earth wall looks very solid, with a thickness of at least fifteen meters. If we hadn't taken into consideration that in this world, there are things like fighting spirits and spells that are beyond comprehension, whether it could be built would be a question.
Since there were no outsiders around, Du Quan simply spoke his mind: "The remnants of the Yellow Turbans should not be underestimated, they can actually capture such a huge city."
"Silence."
Zhou Tian frowned slightly and lowered his voice to remind: "Taiping Dao's methods are unpredictable, so you must be careful in your words and deeds."
Du Quan nodded and calmed down instantly. He vowed to obtain the fragments of the "Book of Taiping" during this trip and would not allow any mistakes.
After thinking this, he raised his voice and said: "Enter the city quickly and join the allies."
The words fell, and various responses were mixed together in Xiongnu, Qiang, and Chinese.
Horses were galloping on the ice field, and the rising snow dust looked like smoke from a distance. In an instant, the sky and the earth were filled with a murderous atmosphere.
Woo!!!
Woo!!!
Suddenly, horns sounded in the city, as if some monster was wailing, or expressing welcome.
The city gate is wide open.
At the same time, in the county government office in the city.
Qu's commander-in-chief, Guo Tai, was holding the last military meeting before the war, and the audience was full of young commanders who came to discuss the matter.
The majority of these young commanders commanded more than ten thousand soldiers, while the few commanded seven or eight thousand soldiers——
You know, Taiping Dao is best at deceiving people. In just ten days, they managed to unite 300,000 refugees and organize them into an army.
Because there were many veterans of the Yellow Turbans mixed in among them, although these farmers who had just put down their farm tools could not kill without blinking an eye, they could still understand the slogans and lined up neatly.
And half an hour ago, they sent sentries to Yunzhong and Yanmen areas to send a military report that Ding Yuan had stabilized the border and divided his troops to return south.
Guo Tai held the sword on his waist and said: "The old thief led his army to kill the two kings of the Huns and forced him to retire. After killing the king, he will definitely return to Taiyuan County and support Shangjun without stopping. If he is determined, he can cross the Fen River in just one day...
…”
Before he finished speaking, a scribe in Taoist robes interrupted Guo Tai's words: "Master, we are watching the sky at night, I am afraid that the enemy's front army has arrived."
"So fast?"
"I'm afraid you are in a hurry to fight with us!"
"If my prediction is correct, the Han army will cross the Wenshui River as late as the day after tomorrow or as early as tonight."
"What Han army? Heaven is dead, they are all thieves, we are the ones chosen by destiny!"
Obviously, the man in Taoist robes had a very high status. The handsome men sitting below had no doubt that he was there, and they immediately started talking.
After a while of chatter, they looked at Guo Tai, who was sitting at the top, and asked in unison:
"The bandit army is about to cross, what is the master's countermeasure?"
"Should we stay in the city and fight fiercely, or should we go out to meet them?"
Guo Tai was silent for a moment, raised his eyes and looked around, and slowly uttered four words:
Chapter completed!
