Chapter 398: Taihang Thieves

These days, the thieves on Taihang Mountain are getting more and more peaceful. And Lu Bu also understands this reason. Now that it is the autumn harvest season, those Taihang thieves naturally want to go down to Taihang to loot a wave of supplies and prepare for the harsh winter in the near future.

Thinking back to this time last year, Lu Bu still couldn't take care of these things. Even if those thieves on Taihang Mountain came out to loot the counties and counties, they would not receive much attention from Lu Bu. These thieves will sneak back to the Taihang Mountains after looting, and they will not kill people and seize territory. The threat to Lü Bu was far inferior to that of the Xiongnu who were raging in the north, or Yuan Shao, who was bent on annexing and annexing the state.

But after this year passed, the trouble of Waihu was calmed down, and Yuan Shao experienced the defeat of Jinyang, and it was difficult to continue to attack and annex the state. After the completion of the Hetao Tuntian plan, Lu Bu could also focus on these thieves in Taihang. I don't know if I don't pay attention to this on weekdays, but this attention is how annoying these thieves are. It seems that the peaceful annex of the state is full of bandits, even if Lu Bu takes a drastic approach to deal with this banditry, it has little effect.

Millions of black mountain thieves on Taihang Mountain are uneven, and this state cannot be peaceful for a day!

From Guangwu to Jinyang, it is only two or three hundred miles away, but Guo Tao, who is too guarded by Yanmen, is still worried about the safety of Lu Bu and his party. It's not that Guo Tao is as timid as a mouse, but that these thieves are really rampant.

did not follow this Guo Tao's advice, and along the Fenshui Jinyang, Lu Bu finally chose the road from Yuanping to Jinyang. I walked like this for several days. When I arrived in Yuanping, I still hadn't seen the shadows of those thieves on Taihang Mountain. However, Yuan Pingchang also told about the rampant bandits, which proved that Guo Tao was not alarmist. This area is really a place where those black mountain thieves haunt.

After walking through Yuanping, it is out of the boundary of Yanmen County and into Taiyuan County. In fact, this original flat originally belonged to Taiyuan County, but later the original flat was divided out and ceded to Yanmen. Even if it is divided, this plain is still closely connected with Taiyuan. The border between Yanmen and Taiyuan is in the territory of Yuanping. So after talking about Yuanping, it is Taiyuan.

The weather on the way back was very good, but there was no heavy rain, not like the bad weather on the way to Jiuyuan. There is no need to worry about the homeless people who have no shelter from the rain, let alone follow the homeless people slowly. This makes the speed of the return journey not slow, about forty or fifty miles a day. With such a speed, it only took half a month for Lu Bu to travel from Jiuyuan to Taiyuan! It will take a few days to arrive in Jinyang. I think that when Lu Bu went to Jiuyuan, he walked for more than a month.

"The origin of the name of Yangqu is because of the Hutuo River in the territory of Yangqu, a song for thousands of miles, and the song is named after its yang."

Lu Bu rode on his horse and whispered to Li Ru.

He is originally a native of Bingzhou, so naturally he is also clear about some of the geography of Bingzhou. Seeing that he had walked into Taiyuan and walked to Yangqu, Lu Bu also felt that the whole person was relaxed.

"Yangqu is a good place!"

Li Ru also responded to Lu Bu's words, "Yanmen in the north and Taiyuan in the south." This east side can be entered from the Jingcheng Road, and can be connected to the north of the river. There are more than 3,000 households in the county, more than 10,000 mouths, and among the counties of Taiyuan, it is also relatively prosperous. And Yangqu still has iron, and the imperial court puts iron officials to manage ......."

Originally, Lu Bu just thought that Li Ru was from Liangzhou, and he might not be very familiar with some places in this state, but at this time, after seeing Li Ru easily tell some information about Yangqu, he was really dumbfounded. This Li Ru can casually tell how many households and how many mouths there are in a county in Yangqu, which is really not ordinary.

Keep going.

This yang song was close at hand, but Lu Bu felt that something was wrong. Everywhere he went, he would send scouts to investigate. But now that I'm about to arrive at this Yangqu, why hasn't the scout come back?

In Lu Bu's doubts, the outline of this Yangqu City was also faintly visible.

What shocked Lu Bu was that there was no fluttering Han flag on the head of Nayangqu City, and the heart-rending shouts were floating far and wide. There was a thunderous sound of horses' hooves, and a cavalry suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes, which shocked everyone!

"Facing the enemy—"

Lu Bu reacted instantly and shouted!

Without any hesitation, the five hundred horsemen who accompanied Lu Bu across the world were all wolf riders from Bingzhou. When they encounter an enemy in this wilderness, they have no fear at all. At the moment of facing the enemy, they raised their bows and arrows, and faced the approaching cavalry in an upward manner, and shot the arrows with all their might.

Woohoo.

The sound of arrows breaking through the air resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the cavalry, men and horses, who rushed into the range of the crossbows, all fell. Such a scene also shocked the cavalry on the opposite side. The remaining cavalry did not have the courage to continue to rush forward, and at the command of a small leader wrapped in a turban, they actually turned their horses and ran back, leaving only these dozens of corpses. It's a pity that those brave wolf riders haven't had time to release the second arrow, so that the outcome of the encounter will be decided. The whole world fell into a deathly silence.

"Taihang thieves!"

Lu Bu looked at the dozens of corpses on the ground, his face was also gloomy, and he said in a calm tone.

In fact, there is no need for Lu Bu to say anything.

There were dozens of corpses, and these cavalrymen didn't even have a single piece of armor on them. Not to mention the iron armor, but the leather armor is all tattered and unshaped. There are also a variety of weapons in the ground, including swords, guns, swords, halberds, and hooks, forks, axes, and axes. Even the war horses are of different colors, tall and small. The only thing that is the same is that these people have yellow scarves wrapped around their heads! It's like announcing their identity to the world.

In the distance, it's dusty!

Lu Bu and the others didn't continue to move forward, but just continued to stop where they were, looking at the scene in the distance. After a burst of dust, some of the appearances on the edge of the Yangqu City gradually came into everyone's eyes.

Everyone couldn't help but gasp!

Looking at it, there is a yellow sea outside Yangqu City at this time! The dense crowd is innumerable! What is even more terrifying is that the bandits in Yangqu City still continue to pour out like a tide, sweeping towards the east, like a long dragon that winds and turns.
