After several months, the dust finally settled, and the battle ended with the defeat of Han Sui's army.

Under the leadership of Zhang Liao, the state army attacked the city all the way, and broke through Lintao with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying, and all the counties were looking forward to the wind.

Now that the war is over, all that remains is the question of the ownership of Jincheng County.

Zhiyang, the wind blows across the Huangshui River, rolling up a piece of waves, at this time it is already the middle of August, into the hottest season of the year, this is already

It was close to noon, except for a few fishermen who were still casting nets, and the rest had already gone home for lunch to replenish their strength and prepare for a big day in the afternoon.

Angry waves, there are not many boats on the river, most of the fishing boats have been docked, and there will occasionally be a long caravan on the river, at this time

, A big boat of 400 stones appeared on the river outside Zhiyang County, on the bow of the boat, Lu Bu was looking at Zhiyang County in the distance with his hands behind his back, this time he was by Ma Teng

Invited, go to Zhiyang County to discuss how to divide Jincheng County.

After traveling two miles on the river, he was suddenly surprised to find that Zhiyang seemed to be building a city, and thousands of people were carrying soil and stones by the river, extremely busy.

The outline of a city has faintly appeared, and the walls of the city have been broken due to the recent war, and tens of thousands of people are piling bricks and tiles on the city walls to salvage the moat

The gravel boulders in the country occasionally salvaged a few mutilated corpses, but the people seemed to be accustomed to it, not so much accustomed to it as numbness.

Calmly fishing, carrying the ox cart, driving to the field to burn, all the steps are extremely skillful.

Jia Xu and Li Ru walked up to the bow of the boat, standing on Lu Bu's left and right, raising their eyes and looking around.

At this time, it is already three poles in the sun. The sun was shining, shining sparkling in the water, and countless soldiers in single clothes and hakama shouldered anti-armor, and fought in groups of three or five

The horse walked to the river to wash and felt that there was no more blood stains immediately, so he put the war horse by the river and let it eat the aquatic plants. One by one, they jumped into the water, splashed each other, and frolicked.

Lu Budao: "Military Division, how long can this scene last?" ”

Jia Xu was silent, as long as there is still war, such a scene will not last long, and the soldiers who are swimming in the river today may become a cold corpse tomorrow.

Seeing that Jia Xu couldn't answer, Lu Bu turned his gaze to Li Ru again. Li Ru stroked his beard and said: "Xiliang, there will be no war in the short term, as for how long such a scene can last, the key lies in Wenhou yourself!" ”

Li Ru's words went sideways, implicitly pointing out the current situation in Xiliang, and now that Han Sui has been removed, only Liang Shuang of Wudu remains, but Liang Shuang is already a grasshopper after the autumn. It won't last a few days, as long as Liang Shuang is destroyed. In the three kingdoms of the ten counties of Xiliang, only Ma Teng and Lu Bu are left, don't look at their current harmonious relationship, and they can't guarantee that there will be no war because of interests in the future.

"Ma Teng wants Ma Chao to marry Lingqi, what do you think about this?" Lu Bu didn't want to dwell on this issue. Ask new questions right away.

Jia Xu and Li Ru glanced at each other, and they both saw a touch of joy in each other's eyes, Jia Xu said: "Ma Chao, as Ma Teng's sister-in-law, will inherit Ma Teng's family business in the future, if the lord marries the eldest lady to Ma Chao." The pros outweigh the cons! ”

"I know" Lu Bu looked at Zhiyang City, which was getting closer and closer, his eyes were extremely deep, Ma Chao, this kid, he was still quite satisfied, but he was a little worried about his character, if you are stronger than him, he may respect you, if you are weaker than him, and you are not a person he knows, he will show sneer, such a character is clear and high to say that it sounds good, and it is arrogant to say that it is ugly.

Li Ru wanted to say something, Jia Xu immediately shook his head at him, signaling that there was no need to say more, this was Lu Bu's family matter, and it was best for them to be a staff member not to say much, just make a little effective suggestion appropriately, it would be unwise to say too much.

Lu Bu was calm in spirit, turned around and ordered: "Dock and anchor!" ”

With Lu Bu's order, Gan Ning over there immediately commanded the old man of Jinfan to move closer to the shore, and after a while, the big ship slowly docked, and the wharf in Zhiyang was also full of boats, most of which were inserted with the unique flags of the family, there were turtles, geese, carp, cranes, colorful, waving in the wind, forming a beautiful picture, the boats were loaded with grain and forage, and many domestic slaves were clearly interspersed in it, carrying back and forth.

The shouts, trumpets, and shouts converged together, so it was not lively, Lu Bu went ashore first, Jia Xu and Li Ru followed, and after Gan Ning called his subordinates to guard the boat, he immediately led more than 30 people to jump onto the river bank and protect Lu Bu, Jia Xu, and Li Ru in the center.

"Stop, what are you doing?" Before Lu Bu walked onto the riverbank, the private soldiers of all ethnic groups standing on the bank and guarding immediately became nervous, because although Lu Bu was wearing cloth clothes, but the clear-eyed people took a closer look and knew that they were not good at stubble, among which Gan Ning was the most conspicuous, with a dragon pattern knife on his waist and hips, a double halberd on his back, and half of the Shu brocade slanted on his shoulder, revealing half of his bronzed skin, which was embroidered with strange patterns, like a bandit who had intercepted the river and blocked the road.

Lu Bu ignored it, and stepped forward on his own feet, and a man who seemed to be the leader immediately stopped in the middle of the road with a knife, and the servants of Zhuang Ding immediately followed him, and the weapons in their hands were all varied, including knives and guns, including wooden sticks and hoes.

"I asked you what you do? Don't you know that this dock has been covered by the Li family? Miscellaneous ships are not allowed to dock here! Seeing that Lu Bu and the others were still moving forward, the big man immediately raised his sword and asked, and the family members behind him immediately raised their guns to cheer and scolded Lu Bu for them to go quickly.

Lu Bu's eyebrows raised in vain, his face was a little ugly, he turned around and glanced at Gan Ning.

Gan Ning understood, and immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Get out of the way!" ”

When the big man saw Gan Ning's majesty, he was not afraid, and said to each other: "What if you don't let it?" I advise you to wait and leave quickly, otherwise don't blame a certain knife for being ruthless! ”

Gan Ning seemed to hear the funniest joke in the world, and with a "swish", he drew his knife and walked to the big man, stretched out his ears and asked, "What did you say?" I just didn't hear it! ”

In the face of Gan Ning's provocation, the big man was furious, burst into a shout, and swung a knife at Gan Ning's head.

Gan Ning smiled contemptuously, swung his knife at will, and after swinging away the big man's long knife, he kicked the big man to the ground.

The surrounding family members were dumbfounded, although this big man was not good at martial arts, he was a rare good hand among them. Unexpectedly, the master in their hearts was defeated by the strangely dressed man in front of them.

The big man lost face, and a wave of anger couldn't help but rush up from between the ribs, hurriedly picked up the Pu knife on the ground, turned over and killed Gan Ning again.

"Stop" sounded in the rear, and everyone followed the voice. I saw a female general riding a horse in the distance, she was holding a silver spear, wearing bright silver chain mail, and the white horse under her crotch was extremely powerful.

When the big man saw the female general riding his horse, he immediately put away his sword and saluted: "Meet the eldest lady!" ”

The female general rode her horse to the big man, and her willow eyebrows frowned: "What's the matter?" ”

"Miss Qiyu, these are the thieves who intercepted the river, and they are about to be arrested" The big man immediately slashed at Gan Ning and said with an oath.

"Thief!" The woman heard this. A hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, she usually only practiced martial arts at home, and she had not really fought, the reason why she dressed up like this was just pretending, she had thought about the general's addiction, and she never thought that she would meet a river thief today, and she just tried her martial arts.

Come to think of it. The woman pointed a silver spear at Gan Ning and scolded: "Let me ask you, are you a thief of the Huangshui River?" ”

Gan Ning's eyes were deep. The muscles on his face were tense, thinking that he had fought on the battlefield for more than ten years, and there were not a thousand but eight hundred people who died in his hands, He had let a woman point at him like this, and said coldly at the moment: "Woman, it's better to put away your gun." Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind! ”

The woman felt the chill emanating from Gan Ning's body, and couldn't help but shiver at the moment, but in front of so many domestic slaves, even if she had a lot of fear in her heart, she couldn't show it on her face, otherwise there would be majesty in the future. At the moment, I couldn't help but swallow and said: "Thief, I advise you not to mess around, there are officers and soldiers everywhere, I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless with a spear"

Gan Ning was shouted by a thief on her left and a thief on the right, and she was already furious in her heart, and immediately rushed to the front of the girl's horse, and the ape arm buckled the reins of the war horse and pulled it down.

I only heard the wail of a war horse, and the war horse "boomed", and was dragged to the ground by Gan Ning, and the woman on the horse was also overturned to the ground.

"Poof, poof" The woman spit out the bitter weeds in her mouth, her eyes were full of tears, and she looked at Gan Ning aggrievedly: "You actually beat me, since I was a child, no one has dared to beat me!" ”

"This is just a lesson, if you dare to talk nonsense, I will kill you!" Although Gan Ning felt that this girl was a little pitiful, she did not pity the fragrance and jade, and her speech was still so cold, making the woman on the ground cold from head to toe.

"Lord, let's go!" Seeing that Gan Ning had solved everything, he immediately suggested to Lu Bu.

"Let's go" Lu Bu nodded, greeted Gan Ning, and prepared to leave.

"Don't let them go, stop them for me" The girl got up from the ground, her fair face covered with dirt.

The family headed by the Great Han immediately surrounded Lu Bu and the others in the center, so that they could not advance half a step.

Lu Bu squinted his eyes, his eyes were full of killing intent, he wanted to negotiate with Ma Teng quietly, and then lead the troops home to reunite with his family, but why was it so difficult, which made Lu Bu, who was not very interested in seeing the scholars, angry, and after taking a deep breath, his arm raised upward: "Kill!" ”

With a sound of "swish", with Lu Bu's order, the guards behind him all drew their swords, and the sound of drawing knives was uniform. It makes people gasp after hearing it.

At this critical moment, a broken shout came from behind the family members: "Stop" As soon as the words fell, two people walked out of the crowd, and those family members saw the person who came and hurriedly saluted: "Meet the master, see General Pound"

Pang De pushed aside the crowd, and after seeing Lu Bu and his party, he hurriedly stepped forward to make a gesture: "Pang De meets Wen Hou!" ”

Coming with Pound was an old man in his fifties, and after seeing Pound salute, he immediately strode forward and bowed his hand: "Li Xun meets Wen Hou!" ”

Lu Bu took a deep breath, calmed the anger in his heart, and immediately grinned: "Ling Ming, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know who this is?" ”

Pang De didn't dare to slack off, and immediately introduced: "This is Li Zhong, the head of the Li family in Zhiyang City, I heard that Wen Hou came to Zhiyang, and I came to greet him!" ”

From the moment Li Zhong came to the family to call him master, Lu Bu knew that the old man in front of him was their master, after listening to Pang De's introduction, Lu Bu's face sank in an instant, and he pointed to the family members holding swords and said: "Master Li, this is your hospitality?" ”

After finishing speaking, Lu Bu took everyone away, leaving the two with embarrassed faces, Pang De glanced at Li Zhong helplessly, and immediately chased after him.

After Li Zhong saw Lu Bu and the others leaving, he immediately roared: "What's the matter? ”

All the family members immediately lowered their heads and didn't dare to say anything, they had already figured out Li Zhong's temper, they could say anything when they weren't angry, and no one dared to provoke them after they were angry.

Li Zhong looked around, and suddenly found a petite figure hiding behind the family members, and immediately blew his beard and glared: "Li Wenjun, come out for me!" ”

The surrounding family members hurriedly dispersed, and the woman hiding among them was revealed, and the woman was betrayed by the family members, and immediately pointed at them and scolded: "You wait for Miss Ben!" ”

All the family members immediately avoided Li Wenjun's gaze, for them, Li Zhong was now more terrifying than Li Wenjun.

"Father, here's the thing, I have always been here to supervise these guys, and when I first came, I found out that ......" Li Wenjun immediately ran to Li Zhong and explained what happened just now, but she took everything down, otherwise let Li Zhong know that the cause of the incident was because of the big man, and the big man might have to worry about his life.

Dahan was very frightened at this time, how could he have thought that the wave of people just now would have such a big background, he thought that this time it was difficult to escape, but he never thought that the eldest lady would actually excuse him, and looked at Li Wenjun in a hurry.

Facing the gaze of the big man, Li Wenjun just glared at him with apricot eyes, and finally asked Li Zhong: "Father, what is the origin of that strangely dressed guy, his martial arts are so good!" ”

Li Zhong glared at Li Wenjun: "He is the general Gan Ning under the tent of Marquis Wen, that is the general of the imperial court, you are a thief and a thief, no wonder others are angry, I am going to have a banquet for Marquis Wen in the mansion tonight, why don't you go back quickly and change into clean clothes." ”

Li Wenjun pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "I didn't go, why should I invite them to a banquet?" ”

Li Zhong's eyes widened: "I know why, this is what your uncle said" The Li family in Zhiyang is a lineage of the Li family in Lintao, and Li Zhong is the head of the Li family, Li Xian, before Lu Bu came, he had already received a letter from the family, in which he asked him to support Lu Bu, Li Zhong should not be lazy, and immediately arranged for his henchmen to transport grain and grass from various counties in Jincheng, ready to fund Lu Bu's military funds, but he never thought that such a thing would happen, no, he must rush to Ma Teng's army immediately, otherwise it would be bad for Lu Bu to misunderstand.

Thinking of this, Li Zhong immediately beckoned his family to continue carrying grain and grass, turned around and rushed towards Ma Teng's military camp, and when he saw where Li Wenjun was still standing, he immediately shouted: "What are you still doing here, don't let me go back to my house." ”

Only then did Li Wenjun react, straighten his nose at Li Zhong, turn over his horse, and gallop towards Zhiyang City. (To be continued......)
