Late at night, Lu Village.

Zhou Yu said to Lu Su: "Brother Zijing, Lu Village is no longer defendable, you can speed the old and young people in the village to Xuyi Mountain for temporary refuge." ”

Lu Su lost his voice and said: "Gong Jin said that he wants to abandon the village?" ”

"Yes, abandon the village." Zhou Yu said, "The reason why the horse butcher has been frustrated twice, one is because of the light enemy, and the other is intentional to try, now the village has been explored by the horse butcher, tomorrow is dawn, the water army stationed in Hongze Lake is bound to come to the rescue, so that the terrain advantage of Lu Village is gone." ”

Lu Su said helplessly: "It seems that it is time to abandon the village." ”

Zhou Yu hugged his fists and said: "Brother Zijing, my uncle (Zhou Shang) is still waiting outside the village, and Yu should also say goodbye." ”

Lu Su returned the salute with a smile and quipped: "Is the public in a hurry to go to Shu County for a job?" ”

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Brother Zijing smiled." ”

Lu Su also smiled: "I heard that Qiao Gong of Shu County has twin daughters, sixteen years old, both are beautiful as flowers, which can be called the best in the world, and only the heroes of people like Bo Fu and Gong Jin can match the world. ”

"In this way, Yu Gong Yingzi respects his brother." Zhou Yu said this, hugged his fists and said, "Farewell." ”

Lu Su said: "Don't send it." ”

The two waved goodbye, Lu Su went to arrange for the old and young in the village to avoid Xuyi Mountain, while Zhou Yu and Uncle Nai, Zhou Shangqingqiu, rode fast horses and bypassed the Xuyi Mountain Road in the north of the village to Shu County.

……

Outside Lu Village, the Xiliang Army Camp Ma Yuezhong Army Tent.

The two burning mutton fat torches illuminated the big tent as bright as day, Li Meng, Li Su and others all hung their heads and stood solemnly, the atmosphere in the big tent seemed a little depressing, Gan Ning had fully recovered his strength, but his face was still slightly pale, and his chest was also wrapped in a thick layer of linen, and there were faint traces of blood on the linen.

Ma Yue glanced at the generals with burning eyes, and said loudly: "What are you doing with your heads hanging down?" Well, give Lao Tzu his head high! ”

Li Meng and the others raised their heads when they heard this.

"Isn't it just a small loss, do you need to be so depressed?" Ma Yue said loudly, "How can you fight without dying?" Moreover, more than 100 brothers did not die in vain, at least we have found out the truth of Lu Village! As long as you wait until dawn, as soon as Zhang Bao's Jiangxia Navy comes up, Lu Village can be broken at your fingertips. ”

"My lord! This time, Lu Su was arrested, and he must be handed over to the last general for disposal! ”

Ma Yue's voice fell, and Gan Ning had already grown up.

Since the Jinfan thieves rampaged in the Yangtze River waterway, Gan Ning has never suffered such a big loss, and this time he actually planted a big heel fight in the small Lusu, so how can Gan Ning be willing?

"Lu Su can't run!" Ma Yuelang said, "But if you want to catch Lu Su, there is something you must do. ”

"But by the command of the Lord!"

As soon as Ma Yue finished speaking, Li Meng and Gan Ning stepped forward at the same time.

Ma Yue Huoran got up, shook his cloak fiercely, his dark eyes had already cast into the dark void outside the tent, and said in a condensed voice: "The general expects that Lu Su will abandon the village tonight, there is a river in the west and south of Lu Village, and the paddy fields in the east can block the attack of our army, and it will also block the escape of the villagers of Lu Village, so there is only one way for the villagers of Lu Village to go." ”

Li Su's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Xuyi Mountain in the north of the village!" ”

"Not bad!" Ma Yue said in a deep voice, "Lu Su will definitely transfer the old and young people in the village to Xuyi Mountain to temporarily avoid our army's front, as long as our army can intercept the villagers before they flee into Xuyi Mountain!" Lu Su is over! ”

"That's how it came to be."

"Gan Ning and Li Meng obey the order!"

"The end will be."

Gan Ning and Li Meng took a step forward at the same time and responded quickly.

Ma Yue struck the knot fiercely, and said sharply: "Lead a thousand elite horsemen to bypass the paddy fields in the east, and abandon the horse and walk after entering the foot of Xuyi Mountain, this general has already found a guide for you to guide the way, you need to seize the main road into the mountain as quickly as possible, and cut off the road to the mountain for the old and young people of Lu Village!" ”

"Yes!"

……

Deep in Xuyi Mountain.

Lu Su was dressed in military uniform, and when he was directing five hundred soldiers to pile up rolling wood and stones on the cliffs on both sides of the mountain road, he suddenly saw his younger brother Lu coming in a hurry, and he raised his hand and shouted from afar: "Brother, it's not good, something happened!" ”

Lu Su hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Second brother, what's wrong?" ”

Lu Zhengdao: "The horse butcher sent an elite army to cut off the main road into the mountain, and most of the old and young people in the village were intercepted before they could enter the mountain. ”

"The Xiliang soldiers came so quickly!?" Lu Su was taken aback and said hurriedly, "What about your eight hundred soldiers?" ”

Lu Zheng's eyes showed a look of shame, and he said gloomily: "The little brother is useless, the eight hundred soldiers have been scattered by the Xiliang army." ”

In fact, not only were the eight hundred soldiers scattered, but even Lu Zheng was captured alive by Gan Ningsheng, if it wasn't for the news to Lu Su, Lu Zheng's head would have fallen to the ground long ago.

"Ugh." Lu Su sighed for a long time, "Have those villagers who haven't had time to enter the mountain ever been killed?" ”

"Not really." Lu Zheng said in a low voice, "The villagers who didn't have time to enter the mountain have all been escorted back to the village, and the horse butcher also threatened that if the eldest brother didn't go back to the village to talk to him face-to-face, he would wash Lu Village with blood, and the chickens and dogs would not be left." ”

"This~~" Lu Su frowned when he heard this, and said hatefully, "This horse butcher!" ”

……

Lu Village, open space in front of the village.

The old and young people of Lu Village, who had not had time to escape into Xuyi Mountain, had all been gathered together, facing the surrounding black and oppressive Xiliang Iron Horse, as well as the bright and flickering horse chopping knife, most of these poor villagers were as white as dirt, and their eyes were frightened, under a big locust tree at the head of the village, Ma Yue sat on a big bluestone with a golden knife, and his cold eyes were passing over the villagers, which looked like he was looking at a group of lifeless dead things.

Li Su looked up at Xuyi Mountain, and saw that the empty mountain was lonely and there was no movement, so he couldn't help bending down and asking Ma Yuedao: "Lord, will Lu Su really come?" ”

Ma Yue said coldly: "The so-called gentleman can deceive him, if Lu Su was a gentleman like Fu Zhu, he would not have watched the old and young people of Lu Village being killed!" ”

Li Su looked unbearable, and asked in a low voice: "If Lu Su doesn't come, does the lord really plan to kill the old and young people in Lu Village?" ”

Ma Yue Huoran raised his head, glanced at Li Su coldly, and asked rhetorically, "What do you say?" ”

Li Su shuddered and said in a low voice: "Su is stupid, the lord forgives the sin." ”

Ma Yue looked up at the sky and found that it was noon, so he said to Dian Wei: "Dian Wei, the time has come, it's time to send the first batch of villagers on the road!" ”

"Yes." Dian Weihu roared, moved his hand, and said sharply, "Bring it up!" ”

Dian Wei gave an order, two hundred wolf-like Xiliang elite soldiers had escorted a hundred strong men in the village to the big tree, lined up in front of Ma Yue, and suddenly, a sharp horse chopping knife had been raised high, just waiting for Dian Wei's raised arm to fall, the hundred heads would roll to the ground.

……

Xuyi Mountain.

Lu Su and Lu Zheng led more than a dozen personal soldiers to hide in the dense grass, and from this angle, they could just see the open space at the head of the village, and every move of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry fell in the eyes of Lu Su and others.

"Brother, the horse butcher is going to kill someone!" Lu Zheng hurriedly said, "That's the captured soldier." ”

Lu Su described it coldly, and said in a condensed voice: "I know for my brother." ”

"Brother, what now?"

Lu Su's face changed again and again, and it took a long time before he sighed, as if he had made some kind of decision, and said to Lu Zheng: "Second brother, from now on you will be the patriarch of the Lu family!" You will lead the soldiers to guard the mountain pass, protect the old and young people of Lu Village, and you will never be allowed to go down the mountain without the permission of your brother! ”

Lu Zheng hurriedly said: "Brother, what about you?" ”

Lu Su took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Go to see the horse butcher for my brother and beg him to spare the old and young people in Lu Village." ”

"Brother, you're crazy." Lu Zheng hurriedly said, "The horse butcher is as murderous as his life, how can he let go of the old and young people in Lu Village, you just went to die in vain." ”

"Nope." Lu Su shook his head and said in a condensed voice, "If the horse butcher is really murderous, then the old and young Lu village at the head of the village should have been dead for a long time!" ”

Lu Zheng hurriedly said: "That's just to force you out." ”

Lu Su said miserably: "As a brother, as the patriarch of the Lu family, how can he turn a deaf ear to the life and death of the clansmen? The second brother doesn't need to say much. ”

……

Tou.

Dian Wei Huoran looked back, Ma Yue lightly bowed his head, Dian Wei's eyes were full of murderous intent for a moment, and when he was about to swing his raised right arm down, a deep and powerful voice suddenly sounded in the woods not far away: "Leave people under the knife!" ”

"Huh?"

Dian Wei Huoran turned around, only to see a majestic figure slowly emerging from the woods.

Li Su's expression moved, and when he looked back at Ma Yue, there was already a trace of fear in his eyes.

Ma Yue stood up, looked up to the sky and said with a long smile: "Lu Su, you are finally here." ”
