Chapter 195: The Woman in Pink in the Cherry Blossom Forest
LΓΌ Bu led his army to join Chen Zhi, and the army continued to advance.
Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan led their troops out of Shouchun together with Yan Xiang to meet Zhou Yu.
They knew that they had few soldiers, so they chose a mountain pass to intercept them halfway, and they did not intend to fight Zhou Yu directly.
Zhang Liao led a group of men and horses to Shouchun.
When he arrived outside Shouchun City, he found that the city gates were closed.
"Listen to the defenders of the city, are we here to coordinate the defense, why don't we open the city gate soon?" Zhang Liaoce immediately stepped forward and shouted loudly.
"Where are you from?" The soldiers brought by Zhang Liao were all wearing Cao army armor, and the defenders obviously did not understand where they came from.
"The lord had an order to ask the two Xiahou generals to defend Shouchun, but I didn't expect them to lead troops to meet Zhou Yu." Zhang Liao shouted: "We are the men and horses that the lord stayed here to prevent accidents, and we have not opened the city yet, do we have to treat you for the crime of disobeying military orders?" β
The soldiers brought by Zhang Liao were wearing Cao Jun armor, and the defenders couldn't understand who they were.
Coupled with the fact that he went to war without authorization by Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan in violation of military orders, the officers defending the city certainly did not dare to doubt the truth of his words.
The officer instructed the soldiers: "Open the gates quickly." β
The city gate opened, and Zhang Liao beckoned the soldiers into the city.
When he entered Shouchun, he instructed his soldiers: "Surrender the weapons of the defenders." β
The soldiers rushed up to the city and into the barracks, disarming the defenders, who had no idea what was happening.
Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan did not have many soldiers left to defend the city, at most more than 200 people.
Zhang Liao confiscated these people and sent them all to the barracks under house arrest.
Relative to the detention, they still have some movement of their own, but they can't leave the camp.
was not imprisoned, and the defenders were a lot more relieved, Zhang Liao seized Shouchun quietly without leaking the news.
Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan didn't know that Shouchun had been taken away, and the two of them were stationed in the mountain pass with Yan Xiang, only two or three miles away from them, and Zhou Yu's Jiangdong army had already been stationed.
Perhaps because he hadn't found a breakthrough yet, Zhou Yu was not in a hurry to attack.
Let's not talk about Zhang Liao's capture of Shouchun and Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan's brothers intercepted Zhou Yu.
Just say Lu Bu.
He led a large army to join Chen Zhi and continued to advance.
As he was walking, Chen Zhi pointed forward: "Wen Hou, in front of you is the place where Li Dian killed Li Mao." β
Looking over, Lu Bu saw a patch of trees in front of him.
The trees are covered with pink and white flowers.
Cherry blossom......
Lu Bu was stunned: "What season is it?" β
"It's already autumn." Chen Zhi replied.
"Cherry blossoms bloom in spring, so why do they have ...... in autumn?" he said, puzzled.
The sight in front of him really turned his perception of the laws of nature upside down.
He had only heard that Li Dian had killed Li Mao in Yijing, laying the foundation for the Cao family to seize Huainan, but he didn't expect that there were so many cherry blossom trees growing here.
Lu Bu once thought that cherry blossoms only grew in Japan, but since he came to this era, he learned that cherry blossoms grew in the Central Plains thousands of years earlier than Japan.
Envoys sent by the Han Dynasty to the Western Regions brought back cherry blossom seedlings from the Himalayas.
The gardens of many wealthy families are planted with this kind of beautiful flowers and trees that bloom for a short period of time.
Yoshii is home to a forest of cherry blossoms, and flowers are in full bloom in autumn, when it is not in bloom at all.
"Zilong, Shuzhi, you two accompany me to take a walk in the forest." Lu Bu ordered the army to stop, and he greeted Zhao Yun and Chen Dao.
The cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and the petals are falling all over the place.
In the forest, the falling cherry blossom petals dance like gentle snowflakes.
"What a beautiful sea of flowers!" The scenery in front of him made Zhao Yun sigh.
"It's really beautiful, but I want to know why the cherry blossoms are in full bloom during this season." Lu Bu was still wondering why he saw this scenery in front of him in autumn.
"When things go wrong, there must be demons." Chen Zhi replied: "The cherry blossoms are not in full bloom in season, it must indicate something." β
The servants were about to leave the cherry blossom forest when a melodious sound of the piano suddenly came from in front of them.
Hearing the sound of the piano, they looked at each other, and each other was even more puzzled.
"Let's take a look." greeted Zhao Yun and Chen Dao, and Lu Bu took the first step.
Two generals followed him closely.
After walking a short distance, they saw a young boy riding a bull in the cherry blossom forest.
Xiao Tong saw Lu Bu and the others stroking their palms and laughing: "The person my girl is waiting for is actually you!" β
Although he has the soul of two thousand years in his body, Lu Bu can be regarded as well-informed, but Xiao Tong's performance makes him completely unable to figure out the second monk.
"Dare to ask Xiaotong, ...... is your girl" Lu Bu asked suspiciously.
"When the general sees her, he will naturally understand." The boy didn't explain, turned his head and rode the ox deeper into the cherry blossom forest.
Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, and Chen Zhi glanced at each other, and the servants followed the child on horseback.
The scene in front of me is really weird.
The cherry blossoms in full bloom in autumn, the boy grazing in the cherry blossom forest, and the girl who only hears the sound of the piano and does not see anyone......
As the boy walked forward, the sound of the piano got closer and closer, but the cherry blossom trees around him became closer and closer.
Petals fall.
Tiny petals fell to the ground, spreading a thick carpet of flowers in the forest.
Some petals fell on the heads and bodies of Lu Bu and others.
The iron armor of the forest is dotted with falling flowers, and the generals who are fighting on the battlefield also feel a trace of inexplicable gentleness in this cherry blossom forest......
Lu Bu and the others were walking, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.
Xiao Tong turned his head to look at Lu Bu: "My girl only wants to see you alone, and I ask the two generals to wait here." β
Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi both looked at Lu Bu with some concern.
Lu Bu winked and signaled them not to worry, and followed the little boy on.
After walking dozens of steps forward, Lu Bu saw a low table in the cherry blossom forest in front of him.
Behind the table sat a woman in a pink Luo dress.
The corner of the woman's mouth floated with a beautiful smile, and her clear eyes revealed infinite style, staring at Lu Bu who was approaching.
Lu Bu dismounted and bowed to the girl: "The last general's leader passed by here by chance, and I don't want to disturb the girl Yaxing, and I ask for forgiveness." β
"This cherry blossom blooms for the general, this piano music is played by the general, if the general doesn't come, I should really blame!" The girl in pink replied.
She then asked Lu Bu: "The general of the First World War of Xiapi was born against the sky, I don't know what plans I have in the future?" β
"In troubled times, if I don't kill people, I will kill me." Lu Bu replied: "What else can you plan? I have died, so I look forward to living for a long time, even if it is not for thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, not for the beautiful lady, just to live, I should fight to the death. β
