When the time came, Xing Lu Bu lay on the bed tossing and turning. The fact that the sentinels had not returned, made him very uneasy.

After the people of the Yizi King arrived, he also told the Yizi King that there might be officials and soldiers nearby. The King of One Word also felt that it would be better to leave the camp immediately, but neither King One Word nor Xing Lu Bu's men could move because they were too tired.

The repeated harassment of the official army sentry cavalry made them think that the official army brigade was nearby. Although there was no clearer evidence that the officer brigade was nearby, they nevertheless accelerated their march. In such a nervous state of mind, they have not had a good rest for several days in a row.

The One Word King was also very tired, and he thought that their people had already converged anyway. Now that it occupies a dangerous terrain, it should be okay to rest for a while. Even if they did find the official army, it would not be so easy for them to take down the camp of thieves in the mountains.

Although he was uneasy, Xing Lu Bu still agreed with the statement of the One Word King. The two of them selected some elite soldiers to keep vigil, and after repeated orders to be on duty seriously, Yizi Wang and Xinglu Bu both returned to their tents. Xing Lu Bu forced himself to sleep, but his uneasy mood made him unable to sleep.

He looked outside the tent again and decided to go around the place. So Xing Lu Bu put on his clothes and armor again, and beckoned his soldiers outside the tent to constantly inspect the sentry posts in the camp.

There were a few sleeping sentries on the road, and they were all severely reprimanded by Xing Lu Bu. If it weren't for the fact that these men weren't his subordinates, he might have whipped them directly.

"Damn, cheer me up, if the official army is killed at this time, will you just send your head out."

Near the camp gate, Xinglu Bu also saw several guards sleeping secretly. These were all his subordinates, so after scolding, he whipped them again.

"Ahh No, no, don't dare, the big boss spare me, spare me. ”

The captain of these guards was the worst one to be drawn, and he also knew that the brother-in-law of the big boss had not come back from the outpost, and there might be officers and soldiers nearby.

But he was sleepy, and after his brother-in-law disappeared, the big boss also sent a lot of detectives out again, and he didn't find anything abnormal. Maybe the guy had gone somewhere to have fun, but he was so happy that he forgot the time to come back.

Although he was very dissatisfied, the captain of the guard did not dare to speak out. can only keep begging for mercy, while gritting his teeth and enduring the punishment of the big boss. When the big boss finally vented the anger in his heart, the captain was also knocked unconscious by Xing Lu Bu's whip.

"Give me a long memory, and if I find out next time, I'll cut off all your ears."

After Xing Lu Bu seriously threatened everyone present, he took the personal soldiers behind him and continued to inspect all parts of the stockade.

After turning around, I did find out a lot of soldiers who were sleeping secretly, but there was nothing abnormal, and the officers and soldiers did not take this opportunity to sneak attack. Xing Lu Bu comforted himself, maybe he was really too suspicious.

At this time, a guard from Xinglu Bu came over and reported: "The big boss, the guard has begun to change shifts. Everything is arranged according to your orders, and our men and horses are on duty with the people of the King of One Word to monitor each other at night, so no one should dare to sleep secretly. ”

"Well, I'm a little sleepy too, so let's go back to the tent and rest. If the Yizi King and Xue Hongqi have something to look for me, call me up. Oh, by the way, if any of those sentry riders come back, you can call me up, too. ”

After personally inspecting the camp and reorganizing according to his own wishes, Xing Lu Bu's uneasy heart was also a lot easier. After all, it was late, and he finally felt sleepy and wanted to get a good night's sleep.

A little more than a moment after Xing Lu Bu fell asleep, Xing Lu Bu's guards received a report from the camp gate. The sentry sent out actually came back at this time, and the guard felt a little angry. These bastards have been late for so long, why don't you just wait for dawn and come back, you can't rest for a while.

However, he couldn't help but report it, so he prepared to go into the tent to wake up the big boss. But as soon as he turned around, his mouth was suddenly covered, and then a sharp blade slashed through his throat, and he struggled for a while and finally died quietly.

In the old camp of thieves built on the mountain, some dark shadows are constantly moving.

Some controlled several sentinels, some swooped into the thieves' horse pens, and many kept going in and out of the tents.

Although they did it relatively secretly, because there were more and more black shadows, they finally attracted the attention of some people in the old camp of thieves.

After a scream sounded without knowing whose it was, the entire old camp of thieves suddenly resounded with the sound of fighting and shouting of killing. And there were also fires in many places in the old camp, and with this as a signal, an unknown number of officers and soldiers suddenly appeared outside the village, and they drove into the old camp of thieves through the controlled gate.

And the shouts of these officers and soldiers were also mixed with the screams, wails, and begs for mercy in the old camp. These have made the old camp of thieves, which has begun to become chaotic, even more out of order.

When the chaos reached a tipping point, the entire camp of thieves completely collapsed in an instant.

……

The One Word King kept whipping his war horse fiercely, and there were only more than a dozen rogue cavalry left around him.

Last night's camp was robbed by the official army, and the entire camp was infiltrated like a sieve. After that, they were easily served by the officials and soldiers, and they, the leaders of the thieves, couldn't organize any decent resistance.

Xue Hongqi was the first leader to resist with his guards, but he failed to save the situation and was finally shot by the official army in front of his eyes.

Some of the other leaders ran away, some were entangled by the officers and soldiers, and some never knew their whereabouts. And that Xing Lu Bu, who had inspected it once, if he appeared in front of him, the word king really wanted to kill him with a knife.

It's this guy who is Xing Lu Bu, who has nothing to do, and actually let the soldiers of the various thief leaders mix together to keep vigil. It's really brain-pumping, and when a bunch of people you barely know are together, there's naturally a whole bunch of holes. The officers and soldiers took advantage of this opportunity to continue to infiltrate the camp, and finally overturned a large number of them.

"Big boss, the officers and soldiers behind him seem to be gone, where should we run next?" One of the guards of the One Word King, seeing that there was no official army behind him, opened his mouth and asked loudly.

The king of the word looked back, and indeed did not see any officials and soldiers chasing after him.

The one-word king who escaped the catastrophe is also a little confused about the future at this time. Before he was a famous thief in the Malan Mountain area, the big palm of Lu Baoding was a lone wolf, and he also wanted to give himself some face, and let himself occupy a seat in Lu Baoding.

Although they plundered everywhere, they were also forced to retreat by the officers and soldiers from time to time. But those losses are not a pain to their bones. Just loot a few villages or stockades to make up for all the losses.

Coupled with the robbed money and food, as well as the tender women, these days are quite happy. Compared with the soldiers who could not pay silver from the imperial court, the king of one word naturally wanted to live this kind of life.

As for the court's recruitment, if he can't get along, he will accept it. When he regained his breath, he began to live this unrestrained and leisurely life again.

But everything has changed in the previous security guards, and it turned out that the famous monkey on the road was so powerful. With just a few hundred cavalry, they were defeated by thousands of their men and horses.

After that, they were chased all the way to the mountains, and after they reached the mountains, there were still a bunch of brave foot soldiers who continued to chase and kill. Just ran into him, the main force of Lu Baoding was hit hard, and the elite old thieves were knocked out a lot. Other officers and soldiers took advantage of this opportunity to level the top of Lu Bao in one fell swoop.

The lone wolf then fled to Iron Horn City with his people and lived a life under the fence. And there are not many people under his command, and if you go there, you will only be swallowed. That's why he dragged people and horses around, constantly destroying villages and villages to collect men, and then uniting a few leaders to reorganize people.

But he only regained a little strength, and he was actually beaten up by the official army again!

I don't know which way the officers and soldiers are this time, they are so familiar with the routines of their people on the road, and they are so decisive and ruthless. I feel that the other party is too familiar with the routine of a thief like himself, could it be that the guy who eats the of the official army did it by the chaotic monkey Zhang Mengjin!?

Thinking of this, the word king was furious. There are so many thieves in Shaanxi, why do you always want to find my bad luck. If there is a chance to take revenge in the future, I will definitely slaughter all of your family.

After making up his mind, the king said to the remaining cavalry around him: "I heard that some masters have quietly erected plates on the original territory that does not stick to the mud. Let's go there and reorganize the people, and continue to live our happy life in the future. ”

The cavalry accompanying them were all old thieves who were unchangeable, and they were used to killing people and setting fires. Just like a gambler, he often loses all his wealth. After hearing that the big boss was ready to re-establish his business, he also regained hope for the future and responded loudly together.

Seeing that the morale of his soldiers had recovered, the king led them eastward, preparing to slip all the way to the original territory without mud, and just as he could also sweep a few villages on the way to restore his strength.

But at this time, a voice that seemed a little familiar, but very unfamiliar, sounded: "Is it Tuo Xianling, Tuo Da Master, etc., it's us." ”

Since he can know his real name, it must be his acquaintance.

Thinking of this, the king beckoned his subordinates to stop, and looked at the source of the sound together. After that, there was a burst of fried bean-like figures, but the king of the word didn't know what was going on.

In August of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Shaanxi fugitive thief Yizi Wang, Xue Hongqi, Xinglu Bu and others were robbed in Ansai. Yansui West Road Soldier Preparation Dao Dai Junen used the capital division Zhang Mengjin to suppress it.

On the 25th (Gengyin), the official army attacked at night, and the thieves were routed. More than 400 levels were beheaded in the battle, and the thief Kui Yizi Wang, Xue Hongqi and others were killed. Zhao Wankui, the general manager of Qian, captured the thief and saw Lu Bu in the tent, and the remaining thieves all knelt on the ground and begged to surrender. (Note 1)

PS: Note 1: According to the record in volume 5 of "Huailing Liukou Always Record", in history, Dai Junen sent the capital secretary Dong Chongheng to capture Lu Bu and surrender his party. And the Yizi King (Tuo Xianling) and Xue Hongqi (Xue San) were defeated and captured in the Gudu Temple by Chang Huaide and others sent by Dai Junen on the 21st (Bingxu). At that time, there were only 300 people in the army of the Yizi King, and the officers and soldiers only killed more than 100 ranks, and the remaining thieves fled. The ancient capital temple should be near the Pingliang area, and the author has not found the detailed location. The changes in the text are naturally caused by the butterfly effect.
