Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Mysterious Youth (Part 1)
While Lu Bu and the Divine Doctor were still chatting and helping the Divine Doctor take off his armor, the soldiers who cleaned the battlefield in front came to report that they had found a wooden prisoner cart in the camp abandoned by the bandits ahead.
Two thieves were also caught on the spot, and they were about to kill the prisoners in the car, but they were discovered by General Zhang Liao and rescued.
However, the people in the prisoner car were injured, and General Zhang Liao asked Lu Bu and the divine doctor to go over and take a look.
Lu Bu and the divine doctor hurriedly drove the carriage and leaned over. Sure enough, in the middle of a camp, there was a prisoner cart parked prominently, the prisoner cart was one person high, with a round hole the thickness of a human head on it, and it was surrounded by wooden stakes the thickness of a child's arm.
The car door had opened, and Zhang Liao was squatting on the ground, scrubbing a person's face with clean water. The man was lying on the ground, more than eight feet tall, but unfortunately he was covered in blood and couldn't see his face clearly.
There were two bound bandits kneeling next to him, Lu Bu asked the divine doctor to treat the wounded, and he walked to the side of the bandits, took the guard's big knife, and put it on the neck of one of the bandits, "Say, what's the matter with this person?" Yes? ”
The thief also stiffened, "I can't tell you if I kill me... ”
Before he could say another few more words, Lu Bu cut his carotid artery with a single sword, and blood gushed out, splashing the face of the thief next to him.
When Lu Bu's knife was placed on his neck, he opened his mouth and cried, "Don't kill me!" I'll tell you all! ”
Lu Bu stood the knife beside him, "Say, dare to conceal it, he is your example!" ”
The living bandits were already frightened and hurriedly explained. It turned out that they were the bandits of Niu Drinking Mountain, and in the first month of this year, they followed the king of the mountain to surrender to the Black Mountain Army Zhang Niujiao, and they also became the Yellow Turban Rebels.
In fact, nothing has changed, how to mix and how to mix. Half a month ago, they robbed a few carriages by the water at the bottom of the mountain, not only robbed the property on the car, but also tied the two young women in the car to the mountain, and let their families come to redeem them.
As a result, just a few days ago, a young man, alone rode into the mountain, saying that he had come to ransom people.
However, after the two women went up the mountain, they had already been ruined by the bandits, and the fierce one committed suicide by chewing his tongue at that time, leaving only one woman, and after seeing the young man who came to ransom him, he said, "Second brother avenges us!" He died on the stele.
The young man went away on the spot, riding a horse and a gun, and he was so angry. He killed all the bandits in the courtyard on the spot, and set fire to the Hall of Righteousness.
Then he went on a killing spree on the mountain, killing people when he saw them, and he killed one of the three masters with a gun, trampled one to death with a horse, and the rest of the big bosses hid quickly to save their lives.
In the end, he bullied him and was not familiar with the mountain road, led him to an ambush, covered him with a large net, and captured him alive.
After several tortures, he refused to say his name and surname, but kept saying that he wanted to kill the big boss and avenge the dead woman. Later, a letter was found on him, which was written by someone else to Gongsun Zhan in Youzhou, as if he recommended this young man to join the army under Gongsun Zhan.
"What about faith?" Lu Bu asked.
"Back to this general, the letter is on the body of our big boss, he loaded this young man into the prisoner car, and originally planned to send it to Zhending with the letter and ask for credit from the big boss Zhang."
"And who is your boss?" Lu Bu asked.
"I saw him shot dead by the general just now," he pointed to Zhang Liao, "and the body is over there." ”
Lu Bu ordered people to find a corpse that looked like a leader in the direction he pointed, and it was confirmed by him that it was the big boss of Niu Yinshan, who was shot in the chest by Zhang Liao with an arrow and died.
Examining his body, he found a letter in his arms, but unfortunately it had been soaked in blood, and his handwriting was blurred, and he could only vaguely see the words Gongsun Zhan and Chang Shan.
Lu Bu put away the letter, ordered someone to take the thief down, and made a vague gesture to wipe his neck.
He came to Zhang Liao and the divine doctor, the divine doctor was bandaging the man's wounds and applying wound medicine, the young man was covered in bruises, and these bandits were black enough.
Fortunately, after the blood stains on his face were wiped off, there was no scar, but a beautiful face was retained. By the time the wound was cleaned, the young man had already come to his senses, and at first he saw a group of strangers and tried to struggle to get up.
Unfortunately, the injury was too severe, and I really didn't have the strength. He saw that the people around him were all dressed as Han soldiers, and the corpses of bandits were next to them, and he knew that they had been rescued, so he thanked everyone for saving their lives.
Lu Bu comforted: "You take care of your injuries, this is the divine doctor Zhang Zhongjing, who will definitely keep you healthy, as for your enemy, the big boss of Niu Yin Mountain has been shot to death by General Zhang Liao." You can rest assured. ”
As he spoke, Lu Bu took out the letter in his arms, "This is your letter, return it to you, we are going to Jizhou to save people, you will first have a carriage with the divine doctor, recuperate with peace of mind, and wait for your body to recover, and then make a decision." ”
The young man was about to say something, but the medicine was rushing up, and he finally fell asleep.
Lu Bu was guessing in his heart who this person was, being able to pick a cottage by himself, this courage and skill was not something ordinary people could have.
He asked the doctor what was the man's injury. The divine doctor smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, my lord, this person is in excellent physical condition, extremely vigorous, those wounds are all external injuries from whipping, apply my wound medicine, it will be healed, I promise that after a month, he will be a good man again." ”
Lu Bu nodded, and repeatedly told the divine doctor to be in the same car with him, and to take care of it, so he ordered Zhang Liao to clean up the battlefield and continue on the road.
Out of the Baicheng Valley, along the water all the way to the southeast, no more obstacles, and out of the mountains, is a horse Pingchuan, it only took two days and nights to reach the new city, but there are a lot of Yellow Turban Army here, set up camp along the road, the road is blocked.
The scouts reported that this Yellow Turban Army was a subordinate of Zhang Niujiao of the Montenegrin Army, led by Yu Poison himself, with 30,000 people, which could be regarded as the vanguard of the Montenegrin Army.
Their camp was planted right on the main road, echoing the defenders of the city. There were at least 10,000 men in the camp, which was calculated by observing the number of tents, and there were still many Yellow Turban troops training in the open space in the camp, which was not exactly a rabble.
However, maybe it was inexperience, maybe it was because he felt that he was strong and didn't care, the Montenegrin army didn't send many exploration horses, and there were only open posts around the camp, and there were no secret posts.
Lu Bu quietly approached and personally reconnoitred the enemy's situation, and sure enough, he saw that the camp of the Black Mountain Army stretched from the edge of the water to the foot of the city wall. If you take a detour, you don't know how far you will have to go around, and you may not be able to pass the carriage.
It seemed that the camp had to be forced to break through, but fortunately, there were no trenches around the camp, only simple horse-rejecting piles and low arrow towers.
