Chapter 099: Conquering Montenegro
Here are the mountains dozens of miles north of Zhending County, Lu Bu and his wife crossed the mountains and mountains under the guidance of Zhang Yan, accompanied by all the wolf warrior special forces and Liao Hua and Zhou Cang.
"Just bypass this mountain ahead." Zhang Yan explained while leading the way in front.
Lu Bu didn't say a word along the way, and the rest of the people didn't dare to speak, and the atmosphere was a little heavy.
This was deliberately done by Lu Bu.
After all, Zhang Yan has been operating here for several years, and this person has quite a few means, although Lu Bu already believes in him for most of it, but a proper beating is still needed.
After all, the remnants of the Yellow Turban alone have more fighters than all the current troops in the state, not to mention millions of people.
If it cannot be restrained at the very beginning, I am afraid that in the future, it will be easy to form a situation in which the tail is big and the ministers are strong and the masters are weak.
Zhang Ning and Lu Bu have experienced so much, and the tacit understanding between the two is full, Zhang Ning only understood Lu Bu's thoughts after a little thought, so she did not destroy the current state.
At the foot of the hill came an open basin, and in the distance there were many simple houses, which were said to be houses, but in fact they were only tents made of some branches and broken fabric.
The most surprising thing was the crowd standing in the black pressure in this clearing, and at the front were nearly a thousand armed soldiers, but in Lu Bu's opinion, these people were just a slightly stronger homeless people with weapons.
Behind them, there were countless men, women, and children, all over the mountains, and not only that, but in the distance, many people were seen walking slowly from the mountains and forests in groups.
However, the vast majority of these people are scrawny and have a good face.
Most of them are elderly, women and children.
It was late autumn at the moment, and it was still starting to get cold in the north, but most of these people were unclothed.
But their eyes were shining, full of hope and expectation, especially when they saw the arrival of Lu Bu and his party.
"General, these are only some of them, but the situation of people scattered elsewhere is the same." Zhang Yan explained in a low voice.
Lu Bu and the others were shocked by this spectacular scene.
They have experienced countless tragic battlefields, displaced people and nowhere to return, and they have seen a lot, but at the same time, so many miserable people have appeared in front of them alive, this is the first time.
In just an instant, tears welled up in Zhang Ning's eyes.
The soldiers at the front shouted in unison, led by an exceptionally strong man: "Boss Zhang! ”
Immediately afterwards, the people behind also slowly stepped forward, and a few old men asked: "Big leader, is this girl the descendant of the great sage and good teacher?" ”
The cautious tone seemed to be afraid that a little louder voice would dash hope.
Before Zhang Yan could speak, an old woman next to her said, "That's it, it's her." Holy Maiden, I think I saw her back then, she, she healed me, she cured me...... cough cough cough cough ......"
Zhang Ning quickly ran to the front to support the old woman's body, and gently patted her on the back, "Grandma Li, it's me, it's me, Ning'er, why did you have your breath again, don't talk yet." Ning'er also remembers your ......"
Many people in the crowd recognized Zhang Ning, and soon, it spread from ten to hundred, and gradually everyone knew that this young female doll was the descendant of the great sage and good teacher they followed.
The speed of the crowd gathered here increased, and the people of the wolf warrior special forces had to step forward to build a wall to protect Zhang Ning and the old woman in it, including those soldiers who also spontaneously maintained order.
I don't know who started first, kneeling on the ground and shouting loudly, "Holy Maiden".
Immediately after that, more and more people joined the ranks, and then almost everyone fell to their knees together.
The cries of "Holy Maiden" became more and more uniform, like a tsunami of the mountains, and many of the older people shed tears of excitement.
It took a long time for the crowd to calm down.
Zhang Ning came down to a small hill under the escort of Liao and Erren.
On the way, she glanced at Lu Bu quietly, and General Lu nodded imperceptibly.
Zhang Ning waited for everyone to stop the noise and then said loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, I am Zhang Ning, and my father is Zhang Jiao, that is, the great sage and good teacher in everyone's mouth, you have suffered here." On behalf of my late father, I would like to say to you, I can't help my fathers and fellow villagers! ”
After saying that, Zhang Ning bowed deeply respectfully, and then spoke: "Now that I am married, my husband is the current Marquis of Wen - General Lu Bulu. Today I am leading you to come home with me, and from today onwards, it will be home to all of us. We have been there for you ......."
Lu Bu did not continue to listen to Zhang Ning's narration in the same place, but turned around and left.
He knew that with his wife's power, it would be easy to convince these ordinary people, and he now had more important things to deal with.
Lu Bu came to a place where no one was and stood still, looking up at the clouds in the sky without saying a word.
Zhang Yan followed behind Lu Bu alone, knelt on the ground again and kowtowed deeply, the wound that had just been bandaged broke again, and the bandaged cloth was instantly dyed red, and he didn't say a word.
The two of them were silent like this, and there was enough time for a meal, and Lu Bu said, "You are very smart. ”
Zhang Yan continued to kowtow, and her eyelids didn't tremble.
"You did this smoothly, and that scene just now dispelled most of my concerns."
Lu Bu deliberately bit most of the words very hard.
Only then did Zhang Yan speak: "General Lu, I understand what you mean. These relatives are my only concern, they can be properly settled, and I Zhang Yan has no regrets. Thank you, General Lu! I hope you can sweep away this troubled world and take them to a new life. I beg you, I beg you! ”
After that, he knocked his head three times again, and even the ground shook slightly.
After three knocks, Lu Bu still didn't turn back.
Zhang Yan didn't speak, kept a kneeling posture, pulled out a handful of boots, held his right hand behind his back, and quickly swung it towards his neck.
A set of movements is so coherent and fluid that even if someone wants to interrupt, they may not be able to do it.
The dazzling cold light flew towards the throat, and if it was slashed this time, let alone punctured, it was estimated that it could directly cut off half of the neck.
Just as it was about to pierce the skin, a crisp sound of gold and iron sounded.
was cut off by a sharp flying knife, and Zhang Yan cut a bloody cut on her neck, but her life was not in danger.
Immediately afterwards, a person wrapped in black suddenly appeared beside Zhang Yan.
Only then did Lu Bu turn around, "You should know this person." ”
Lu Bu pointed to the man in black next to him, who took off his masked black scarf at this moment.
Zhang Yan lost her voice and said, "You are ...... The leader of the Twelve! ”
As she spoke, Zhang Ning walked over slowly and came behind Lu Bu, while Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, and several other generals who were supposed to be the Black Mountain Army who were following behind her stopped in the distance.
Shadowko nodded, then put on the black scarf again, and disappeared again in the blink of an eye.
Lu Bu looked condescendingly into Zhang Yan's eyes, and the latter's gaze was clear without the slightest hesitation.
After a long time, Lu Bu spoke: "I just tested you. ”
"I understand."
"Are you scared?"
"I'm afraid, but I won't regret it, even if it's not a temptation." Zhang Yan replied in a deep voice, knowing that Lu Bu was asking about the moment when he made up his mind to die.
"Really?"
"Absolutely." Zhang Yan said in a firm tone.
"Really?"
"Heaven and earth can be learned!" Zhang Yan spoke word by word.
Although the two sentences asked by Lu Bu are the same question, they represent different meanings.
The first sentence asks whether Zhang Yan was really as scared but did not regret it at that moment, and the second sentence asks whether he is sincerely obedient.
Both are smart and understand what the other is saying.
"There's a grudge, right?" Lu Bu nodded and said.
"Nope!"
"I believe in you!"
But Lu Bu then shook his head again and added, "But I'm a little worried about you. In this way, after returning to Bingzhou, you first follow Mr. Mao Jimao to arrange farming, after all, Bingzhou is already barren, and so many people must rely on you to be self-reliant. ”
Zhang Yan's eyes showed a deep sense of gratitude, this time, the eyes of the iron man who had never frowned just now were slightly moist, and he said in a choked tone: "Zhang Yan knocked on the lord, and he is willing to serve the lord to the death." ”
In the distance, some of the generals of the Montenegrin army also knelt down and swore allegiance again.
Lu Bu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Zhang Yan, you shouldn't have a table yet." This is what I give you. ”
The tears in Pan Huan's eyes finally rolled down at this time, he understood what Lu Bu meant, and was even more grateful to Lu Bu for giving him the word.
The fact that Lu Bu studied under Cai Yong is known to the world, and in terms of prestige and qualifications, it is a great blessing to give him such a word as an anti-thief leader.
In ancient times, the representative character refers to the name that indicates virtue or the meaning of the original name, which is called a character to express its virtue.
However, after the prevalence of Confucianism, ordinary poor families or people with some bad backgrounds were not qualified or could not obtain the table characters.
Because these words must be given by elders or people with a certain prestige and talent.
Therefore, Zhang Yan was so excited at this time, even more than he learned that Lu Bu and the others were willing to place his subordinates.
He took a few deep breaths and said, "Xianzhong will definitely live up to the high expectations of the general!" ”
After arranging the follow-up matters, Lu Bu asked Zhang Ning and Zhang Yan to lead all the displaced people to return to the state.
It is not yet winter at this moment, and if it is delayed any longer, once it snows heavily, the delay is only a trivial matter, and I am afraid that a considerable number of people will not be able to reach their destination in the state of these people.
Accompanied by the subordinates of the Black Mountain Army and the wolf warrior special forces led by Liao Hua and Zhou Cang, they escorted and all the members of the dark group.
At the same time, Lu Bu personally repaired the book to Tian Feng and Mao Jue respectively, and arranged for the two to properly settle these people as soon as possible.
Only then did Lu Bu and the rest of the people go to the second destination of the trip, Zhongshan Wuji, under the leadership of Zhao Feng.
The two counties are adjacent to each other, and it took less than a day to come to the Zhen family's station. Baidu: Read the latest chapter of "The Literature of Lu Bujie of the Three Kingdoms" for free for the first time.
