Chapter 281: Kaesong 1/3
Facing the villagers who were pressing up, Lu Buhu roared and was about to rush out with his bare hands. As long as they grab a blade, what can these villagers do? It's just that his body has long been hungry and ruthless, and his stomach hurts badly, even if he is the famous Lu Bu, his martial arts can't be played now.
"Alcohol is poisonous!" Lu Bu roared angrily, "You treacherous villains! There is a kind of battle with me Lu Bu for 300 rounds, using such despicable means, what kind of hero is it? ”
The village chief shouted outside: "Despicable foreigner, what kind of hero are you? But a butcher! ”
The fishing net was wrapped, and Lu Bu rushed left and right, but he was still tightly wrapped after all. The villagers worked together and used four fishing nets to subdue him. Then many people rushed up with sticks, and beat Lu Bu indiscriminately. Sticks rained down, mixed with a lot of punches and kicks.
The village chief barged in and shouted, "Don't kill you, it's only worth half the money if you die!" ”
Only then did the villagers stop beating and began to discuss happily how much money they could get for sending Lu Bu to the government. It turned out that the Xiliang Army had already sent a large number of people to announce in the nearby villages and cities that anyone who could capture Lu Bu would be rewarded with tens of millions of dollars if he was alive! There are also five million dollars for the dead!
Tens of millions of dollars sounds like a lot, but it's only 10,000 yuan. For the villagers, it is a lot, but it is only a matter of five thousand silver coins.
On the edge of Weishui, a large army is marching towards Chang'an. After breaking the main force of Lu Bu's army, because of Zhang Liao's hard work, Chen Cheng did not catch Lu Bu, but only got Lu Bu's armor. After that, he ordered people to carry their armor and forced down the enemy who were holding their positions.
Then the Xiliang army spent a day gathering the scattered Lu Bu army and Duan Xuan's army, and then continued to march towards Chang'an. Although the main force of Lu Bu's army was destroyed, as long as Chang'an did not fall, it could not be said that the overall situation had been decided.
In the rolling army, Liu Qian rode a horse and followed behind Chen Cheng. The last time she fought in the woods, she guarded Chen Cheng's left side with a horizontal knife in her hand, killing eight enemies and slashing more than a dozen people in the chaos, and she also took several blows on her body. However, the steel armor on her body was very strong, so she only suffered some flesh wounds.
During the battle, her blood surged, and after the battle, she was worried about whether she would leave a scar on her body. Fortunately, after a day's time, the wounds began to heal, and some small wounds were even smooth as before, which made her feel at ease.
Liu Qian was in a good mood and asked Chen Cheng with a smile; "Master, now that Duan Xuan and Lu Bu have been defeated, why are you still so serious?"
Chen Cheng glanced at her when he heard this, and there was a smile like a flower in his eyes, he lowered his eyes, and said: "We have been preparing in Liangzhou for so long, and the manpower and material resources of the entire Liangzhou have been consumed on the army, and it is not good to win the battle." ”
Liu Qian said crisply: "When we win Guanzhong, are we going to take advantage of the situation to march into Luoyang?" ”
Chen Cheng pondered for a moment and replied: "It's hard to say now, if you can pacify Sanfu before the autumn harvest, of course you can consider going east to Tongguan." But if you can't catch Lu Bu, Guanzhong may not be able to settle down for a while. ”
"Hmph, Lu Bu is so famous, but he is not more than Er'er." Liu Qian shouted: "He only came up a few tricks that day, and he was beaten by the master and fled, what can this kind of waste material be used for?" Now I don't know where to hide! ”
"That's not what I said," Chen Cheng shook his head and said, "My weapon is better than his, and my strength is greater than his, so I can cut off his weapon, if he also uses the same weapon, I may not be able to defeat him so easily." ”
While he was talking, there was a report from the Malay Visitor, "Lord Qi, Lu Bu has been captured!" ”
"Huh?" Chen Cheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "Which general caught it?" ”
"It's not a general, it's caught by the villagers!"
"............", Chen Cheng was stunned and said: "He has a red rabbit horse, how could he be caught by the villagers?" ”
Tanma replied: "It is said that the red rabbit horse was lost at that time, and after the villagers caught Lu Bu, they found the red rabbit horse around and sent it over. ”
".............", Chen Cheng wanted to cover his forehead, he sighed, and said, "Double the bounty, and the Red Rabbit Horse can also be worth tens of millions of dollars." ”
Liu Qian on the side laughed and said, "I'll just say it, Lu Bu is vulnerable!" ”
After Lu Bu, who had a haggard face and a bruise on his forehead, was sent to the front, Chen Cheng looked at the other party, although he was tied up with a rope, he could still see that he was a tiger general. Not to mention anything else, the nine-foot-long body alone is rare in the world.
Lu Bu raised his head in embarrassment and said to Chen Cheng: "Chen Yuanjun, the tie is too tight, loosen it some!" ”
Chen Cheng smiled: "How can the tiger not be tight? ”
Lu Bu was stunned and shouted again: "Then it's better to stutter first!" ”
He was hungry, he had been hungry for two days, and after being caught by the villagers, he was hungry for another day. If he didn't eat for three days, even a man with iron couldn't bear it, not to mention that he had run so far before, and then he was beaten firmly.
Chen Cheng sighed and said to the left and right: "Loosen the tie, bring him a cake, and get some water." ”
After being loosened, Lu Bu ate the bread in three or two bites with water. When it was over, he licked his lips and said, "Is there anything else?" It's all fighting men, how can a piece of bread be enough to eat? ”
Chen Cheng shook his head and said with a smile: "The tiger wolf can't be fed too much, if it is fed too much, it will run away." Let you eat something, pad your stomach, and let's hit the road! ”
Lu Bu's face changed greatly, he clenched his fists, and wanted to snatch the weapons of the surrounding soldiers, but although his body was a little better, he was still very weak, so he begged: "Chen Yuanjun, you have never killed prisoners, so how about letting me live?" ”
At a glance, seeing Han Sui rushing over, Lu Bu shouted to Han Sui again: "Wenyue, help me say something!" ”
Han Sui heard that after he caught Lu Bu, he came over with his son Han Li. At this time, he was shouted by Lu Bu, his face was a little embarrassed, he coughed, and said to Chen Cheng: "Lord, Chang'an still has thousands of soldiers and horses of Gao Shun, if you can make Lu Bu go, you can go down without a fight." ”
Chen Cheng pondered for a moment, then laughed and said; "I'm talking about letting him go on the road to Chang'an, where do you all want to go?"
Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard this, and shouted: "Chen Yuanjun, Gao Shun is my countryman, as long as I come forward, he will definitely surrender!" ”
On the side, Han Sui looked at Chen Cheng and said in his heart: He was obviously moved to kill, but at this time, he came to pretend to be a good person!
Since Lu Bu had also been captured, Chen Cheng escorted him all the way to collect the rout and arrive at the city of Chang'an. At this time, in addition to the troops guarding along the way, the soldiers and horses under his command had swelled to 140,000, so many people, the daily consumption of grain and grass was an extremely large number.
Among these people, there were 60,000 surrendered soldiers. It is not enough to keep them, and after every major war, the broken army will always turn into bandits, which is very harmful to the local community. There are already many people in Guanzhong who have been forced to be bandits and horse bandits, if there is a large-scale army to join, then there will be a few Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong?
In the next neighboring state, there is a bandit known as the Baibo Army, and there is also Zhang Yan gathering millions of people on Taihang Mountain, and Chen Cheng doesn't want to see this situation in Guanzhong.
When he arrived at Chang'an City, Lu Bu had improved his body after a few days of cultivation, and he looked refreshed. It was Chen Cheng who refused to return the red rabbit horse to him, and only let him eat half full every day, which made Lu Bu very opinionated. If it weren't for the short time, maybe he would have stolen his horse and fled in the night.
The mighty army drove over, the gate of Chang'an was closed, and there were many people on the city, but it was Gao Shun who had abandoned the city in the east after hearing that Lu Bu was defeated, and withdrew all the troops into Chang'an City, and requisitioned the young men in the city to defend the city.
Seeing that the city was well defended, Chen Cheng said to Lu Bu: "General Lu, go up and say a few words." ”
Lu Bu was not angry in his heart, but under the gaze of the surrounding tooth soldiers, he did not dare to act rashly. He walked more than a hundred steps outside the city and shouted towards the city: "I am Lu Bu, tell Gao Shun to come out to meet me!" ”
Behind him, more than a dozen horsemen, armed with bows and arrows or carrying mounted spears, were eyeing him. Lu Bu knew in his heart that if he wanted to escape, these people would immediately kill the killers. Someone had already jumped out and wanted to kill him before, but if Chen Cheng hadn't allowed it, his head would have been hung on the flagpole.
Although Guanzhong and Xiliang fought for a long time, the two sides were very close, and the princes divided their spheres of influence into each other, but the people were in contact with each other and were in-laws with each other. Many Liangzhou people served as officials in the imperial court, and they were finally transferred to Guanzhong. For example, Duan Xuan, Huangfu Song, Gai Xun, etc., are all from Liangzhou.
Lu Bu went on a killing spree in Guanzhong, I don't know how many relatives and friends he killed, and there were many people who wanted to kill him.
Hearing the shouts of the city, there was a commotion on the city. After a while, Gao Shun looked out from between the battlements, and when he saw that it was really Lu Bu, he couldn't help but be shocked, and said suddenly: "How did the lord fall into the hands of the Xiliang people?" ”
Left and right said helplessly: "General, then what should we do now?" ”
Gao Shun sighed and said, "Since the lord has been captured, what is the point of us holding on here?" ”
He said with a gloomy expression: "I wanted to keep Chang'an for the lord and let the Xiliang army and Dong Zhuo fight each other." Then we might be able to turn defeat into victory. But since this is already the case, if we don't surrender, we will kill the lord! ”
After shouting a few words towards the city, Lu Bu waited for a while, and saw the city gate wide open, and Gao Shun walked out with his elite soldiers and horses. Thousands of paces were lined up outside the city, and Gao Shun galloped over without weapons. After arriving in front of Chen Cheng, he jumped off the horse, knelt on the ground, and said to Lu Bu: "The last general, Gao Shun, meet the lord!" ”
Lu Bu said with some discomfort on his face: "I have now descended to Chen Envoy, why don't you pay homage to him?" ”
Gao Shun was silent for a while, then bowed to the ground and said, "See Chen Yuanjun." ”
Chen Cheng didn't care, now that most of the Guanzhong has been reached, Chang'an has already opened his legs in front of him, one or two generals who have the old master in their hearts, what is there to worry about?
