Chapter 45: Ghost Hitting the Wall?

Is this place really just passing by?

Lu Bu rode his horse slowly forward in disbelief and looked at the big tree in front of him.

While looking at the big tree, Lu Bu's gaze also moved to the stream next to the tree.

It's okay not to look at it, but this time, Lu Bu felt that something was wrong.

Although everything in front of him was very real, when he touched it with Fang Tian's painting halberd, he could also feel that all this was indeed real. But the problem is that all this in front of me began to coincide with the trees and streams that I remembered just passing by and glimpsing by accidentally.

was reminded by Zhang Xiu like this, and he began to wonder if he had walked for a long time and walked back to the same place?

Probably not.

Lu Bu returned to the formation, and Zhang Xiu came up to inquire about the situation.

"General, what do you think of this?"

Lu Bu didn't answer him, was this the tree and the river that the army had passed by before, he was silent for a moment, and the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand pointed forward.

"Let's keep going."

did not answer directly, but chose to let the army continue to keep moving forward, but this time Lu Bu remembered the direction of the tree in front of him and the shape of the stream in his heart, and he had a snack in his heart, although he didn't want to think like that, but he always had a hunch that this would not be the end, and so on might still encounter the same situation.

Zhang Xiu didn't know why, but Lu Bu's command-style military orders, military orders should be carried out well, he led the soldiers to follow behind Lu Bu and continued to move forward, but their speed began to slow down, because Lu Bu always felt that although he didn't see anyone at this time, it seemed that there might be traps everywhere ahead.

The more no one showed up, the more he felt that there might be an ambush ahead.

And what he didn't want to face just now happened again, and in front of him, another shadow faintly appeared, and the shape of this shadow was similar to that of a tree.

Lu Bu's face changed again when he saw another tree and a stream, and he rode forward again, and after a moment of careful observation, he compared the more obvious features he remembered, but found that they were very consistent.

This match coincided again, and the shape of the stream was exactly the same as I remembered.

Is this really a ghost hitting the wall?

In this vast land of merging states, more than 20,000 people encountered ghosts hitting the wall together?

So how strong does this hell have to be?

It's chilling.

Even if Lu Bu has become the first person recognized as a martial artist, he is a little hairy about this unknown thing, although he may not be afraid, but he will also find it very tricky, and no one wants to face this kind of thing that he has not seen.

But the more times like this, the more you can't lose your position, and you know with your knees that this must be the back hand left by Liu Bei and the others when they left the state, or the hands and feet done by Guan Yu.

Even if you can't find a way to break the game for the time being, you can't think too much about it first. In fact, if the other party uses this method to deal with themselves, it can only be said that they themselves know that their strength is not as good as our army, and only if the hard power is insufficient, they will use these methods to block their own advance, Lu Bu with such emotions, anger appeared in his heart, and the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand shot out, and a halberd was in the middle of the tree by the stream, this time the action left a deep trace on this tree, after all, Lu Bu's casual blow may kill the soldiers on the battlefield, acting on such an old tree, Naturally, it was also very easy.

Looking at the obvious missing piece of the tree, Lu Bu took a deep breath and beckoned the army behind him to continue to move forward.

"Let's go!"

Zhang Xiu took a closer look when he passed by the tree, and quietly threw something over, few people present saw his movements, and Lu Bu walked in front and did not notice his movements.

The Xiliang army, under the leadership of Lu Bu, embarked on the road of continuing to move forward.

But the road went on, and I still didn't meet anyone, and I didn't meet more cities.

Instead, they encountered the tree again.

Lu Bu looked at the notched tree in front of him in silence, he didn't know what he should say, and he didn't know what he should do now.

It seems that he did step into a strange place with his army, and he really encountered a ghost hitting the wall.

Lu Bu looked at the broken silhouette of the tree, and he didn't say a word.

Because he really didn't know what to do.

Zhang Xiu came out from his side, looking at the tree, he carefully observed it for a while, but found a clue.

He knew that Lu Bu's silence was because Lu Bu suspected that he was going around in circles with a large army, after all, because this place was already the fourth time in their cognition.

Again and again, again and again, no more than three times, this is the fourth time, and it really makes people doubt their own judgment.

"General, something is wrong."

Zhang Xiu squatted down, faced the gap of the tree, reached out and touched the gap, and felt it. When he was leaving, he had done some tricks and tricks, which only he knew about.

He had some coloured dye with him, and he had sprinkled some more on it just as he rode past the gap in the tree, and he had checked with his foot to see if it had been dyed on the crack in the tree.

But now there was no trace of paint in the gap in the tree in front of me, and it looked as if it had just been destroyed.

And with the judgment brought by his own paint, Zhang Xiu looked at the breach in front of him that imitated Lu Bu's movements, and found more doubts, but he was able to break the doubt and fear in his heart.

"I know something is wrong."

The subordinates have doubts, so as the leader, they naturally have to deal with it calmly enough, Lu Bu pressed his hand and signaled Zhang Xiu not to make a loud noise.

He was even more worried that if the soldiers behind the news knew about it, it would disturb the morale of the army and make them afraid.

As the first person in the world, Lu Bu naturally would not be afraid of the existence of some strange forces, but he would be afraid that the 20,000 soldiers he brought out would be in chaos and buried here.

"No, General, I'm talking about these pretending to be ghosts, showing their flaws, something is wrong, if I'm not mistaken, their people should have been nearby all along."

Zhang Xiu's voice was not high, and his eyes began to look around, as if looking for someone nearby to spy on them.

"What do you mean by that?"

It seems that the information provided by Zhang Xiu is different from what he thought, Lu Bu asked Zhang Xiu about the situation a little anxiously, hoping that he could reassure himself.

"When the general was making marks just now, I always felt that the general's movements were a little too big, and if there were some people around to observe, it would naturally be easy to imitate, so then I quietly made some moves on the hole behind the general."

Zhang Xiu took out the paint dye he had brought with him from his waist, and he re-smeared it on the hole in the tree.

"But general, look at this tree, there is no such pigment dyeing on it, so these streams and trees may be deliberately dug and built by someone to confuse us."

Zhang Xiu stood up and looked ahead, now he still couldn't see what was in the distance, and he couldn't see what was waiting for them in the future.

But compared to other generals of the Xiliang Army, Zhang Xiu's brain is estimated to be better, he can think more things, and he can judge more things.

"General, you see that this Xihe County has a vast area, and the cities are scarce, and the distance is relatively far away, so in fact, it may be that the direction we are walking on this road is originally without these things, only the plains."

After learning from Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu also smashed the tree directly with a hard blow, and the tree was broken into pieces, but it was not a fake tree, it can only be said that Liu Bei and they arranged this It was also a painstaking effort.

To be able to dig exactly the same ditch and river, and to be able to transplant trees that look very similar together, they must have put a lot of effort into such a project, right?

But in fact, this is just Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu's own conjecture, in fact, this is not Guan Yu and Liu Bei's arrangement for them.

These standard trees and rivers of the same scale were actually requested by Chen Chen to be implemented in Xihe County, because Xihe County has been sparsely populated after many wars, and there is a feeling that the land is vast and sparsely populated.

If it was an ordinary horse-drawn carriage or caravan running through the plains of Xihe County, it would sometimes take a detour because it was not guided.

Therefore, in fact, in order to beautify the environment of the county and provide a building that plays a role like a lighthouse, Seokho-gun has established a method of planting rivers and standard trees with the same shape.

Because in this case, when they build a project, they only need one drawing, and they can copy the practices of that side when they work.

The standard tree is actually a straight wood tree, as for how it was cultivated, Chen Chen actually didn't know, but this tree species that was asked to be promoted by the professor of Taihang Academy arrived in Xihe County.

If there were satellites in this era, then if you looked at all the land in Xihe County, you could see exactly the same trees and streams, and there were hundreds of other places in Xihe County.

But these things were not designed to confuse Lu Bu, but this incident was arranged by Guan Yu.

When he learned through the news channels of the navy that Lü Bu led his troops through the northern land into Shangjun, the Matao Plain, and came towards Bingzhou, Guan Yu had already begun to prepare for Lü Bu's invasion.

When migrating the population of some small towns in Xihe County, Guan Yu also noticed the trees that Mr. had arranged to set up.

As soon as he turned his head, he thought of making a fuss with these trees.

Therefore, there were people who had been following the Xiliang army from a distance, and observing their behavior, including Lu Bu's every move.

And it happened that Lu Bu was in front of the army, and his actions were seen quite clearly.

So they imitated the scene caused by Lu Bu's movements, making them feel as if they had encountered a ghost hitting the wall.

But now this has been broken by Zhang Xiu's little tricks, Guan Yu doesn't know here, Lu Bu has already seen through their operation, and the scouts who were observing from a distance also quickly reported the news back, and let people destroy the tree in the next section of the tree scene, and also imitate Zhang Xiu's behavior.

"General, believe it or not, I'm leaving some paint dye at the bottom of this tree, let's keep walking, the next tree will definitely be destroyed as it is now, but if we can find this paint dye at the bottom of the tree, we will really encounter the ghost hitting the wall, otherwise, we can boldly go full speed ahead."

Zhang Xiu squatted down again, threw all the dyes he was carrying to the bottom of the tree, looked up at Lu Bu, and saw that Lu Bu nodded in agreement, and he grinned.

I should be regarded as a meritorious service this time, and it is not in vain to follow Lu Bu out this time, as long as I can win it back, I will not be able to get my own reward.

"Let's go!"

Do these people really dare to play themselves?

The anger in Lu Bu's heart ignited again, if what Zhang Xiu said was right, then he must speed up, go straight to Taiyuan, and kill anyone he sees.

Let Guan Yunchang pay for their actions.

Perhaps because of the power of anger, or because they began to get closer to the center of Westriver County, the denser these buildings became, the shorter the distance.

It didn't take long for them to come across the next treescape.

Sure enough, this time, the same trees standing straight by the river as they had left, were completely shattered and scattered to the ground.

Without waiting for Zhang Xiu to probe forward, Lu Bu himself turned over and dismounted, and squatted down in the center of the tree to take a closer look.

No.

Sure enough, what Zhang Xiu said was not wrong.

This is where the enemy uses the first mover to create this deceptive behavior to make himself doubt himself.

Now that you can see through it, don't worry about it.

"The enemy army is pretending to be a ghost nearby, but we don't need to pay attention to these rats, continue to move forward, and go straight to Taiyuan!"

Lu Bu turned over on his horse, raised his Fang Tian painting halberd, pointed to the east, and shouted at his soldiers.

In fact, although Zhang Xiu and Lu Bu did not explain the situation to the soldiers just now, some of them also observed the strangeness of these tree scenes.

Since the general didn't say anything, they naturally didn't dare to disturb the morale of the army, otherwise it would be a fallacy to confuse the people and behead the town army.

Now that Lu Bu took the initiative to make it clear, they also put their minds at ease and followed Lu Bu in a down-to-earth manner.

The strength of the Xiliang Army is still extremely strong.

Even if they were tossed around by Guan Yu and them like this, Xiliang Jun was still full of energy.

It didn't take long for them to arrive at Lishi County, Xihe County, which is the largest city in Xihe County, and it is also the current county seat of Xihe County.

Sure enough, after arriving at the county seat, I didn't have the feeling of being lifeless before.

The population of Xihe County was temporarily concentrated in the county town, in fact, the current population of Xihe County was not large, so Guan Yu did not spend much effort when he concentrated these populations, and it was not as difficult as Lu Bu imagined.

And when Lu Bu and the others arrived at the stone city, Guan Yu had been waiting for them for a long time.

Guan Yu had fought with Lu Bu, and he knew that Lu Bu was not so easily trapped by the little tricks, so he was not surprised the moment he saw Lu Bu.
