Chapter 241: The Great Wall

Two fast horses rushed out of the woods, and a group of Jizhou cavalry guarding outside the forest saw four soldiers in leather armor rushing out of the forest on two horses, and they didn't pay much attention to them, but an officer craned his neck at them and shouted: "Why are you waiting for the two of you to ride the same horse?" ”

"King Hongnong is in the forest, and we are ambushed!" Liu Wei, who was galloping wildly, turned his head and shouted to the officer: "I'll go and report to the general, brothers, be careful!" Don't go into the woods lightly! ”

Hearing that someone was ambushed by King Hongnong, the officer's eyes lit up, and it was not until Liu Wei and the others rushed forward for a while that they shouted to a group of cavalry behind him: "Brothers, do you hear, King Hongnong is in the forest!" Follow me in and search! With such a credit, how can you let it slip away? ”

As he spoke, the officer spun around his horse, pinched his legs towards his belly, and led a group of horsemen back into the woods.

Looking back at a group of Jizhou cavalry turning back to the forest, Liu Wei turned his face to Deng Zhan, who was galloping on his horse, and said, "Mr. Deng, thanks to you, I waited for the four of us to go out of the forest together, so that no one stopped and interrogated." ”

"They're stupid!" While galloping on his horse, Deng Zhan said to Liu Wei: "There are no scars on our bodies, and there are no blood stains. If a certain person secretly attacked the official army, it must be mainly to kill people, how could he allow the two of them to escape from the forest? With a little thought, you won't be fooled! ”

"Mr. Gain, is not against this king!" Shaking the reins and galloping his horse quickly, Liu Wei turned his head and said to Deng Zhan: "Hedong is in the southwest direction, Gongsun Zhan must have expected that this king would leave the city and return to Hedong." The southwest may have already laid a net of heaven and earth, just waiting for the king to drill. ”

"Where is Your Highness going?" Glancing at Liu Wei, Deng Zhan clamped the belly of the war horse and sped up his speed, and asked him: "I am going west now, if I don't rush directly to the east of the river, I will soon enter the boundary of Shanggu County." ”

"Kamiya!" Speaking of Shanggu, Liu Wei frowned, and muttered, he remembered very clearly that Yu Ji had told him that day that once the Eastern Expedition would definitely have a catastrophe, now that he thinks about it, he was first calculated by Chang Xuan, and then fell into the hands of Gongsun Zhan, which is not a small disaster.

But Yu Ji also said at that time that if you want to resolve the disaster, you must go to Jundu Mountain to find Lu Zhi who has returned to seclusion. Yu Ji was right about some of them, and Liu Wei also had a half-believing attitude towards the prophecy that had not yet been fulfilled in the second half.

After galloping wildly for a while, Liu Wei raised his hand and pointed forward, and said to Deng Zhan: "This king has heard that Lu Zhi lives in seclusion in the military capital of Shanggu, and he has already had the heart to pay a visit. At present, even if you can't return to Hedong directly, you can go to Jundu Mountain for a walk, and you don't need to delay for much time! ”

"Everything is at the command of His Highness!" Liu Wei determined the direction, Deng Zhan responded, accelerated the speed of the horse's gallop, and galloped towards the west with Liu Wei.

From Yuyang to Jundu Mountain, it is a straight road facing west, and the mountains are stacked along the way, and the road is very difficult.

Except for the night when they fled from Yuyang, everyone ran all the way to the west day and night, non-stop, and for the next few days, they all stayed overnight in Xiaoxing, and looked for a place to stay at night.

In a few days, the crowd had entered the boundaries of Kamiya County. As he was marching, Guan Qing, who was hugged in Liu Bian's arms and riding on a horse, raised his hand and pointed forward, and said to Liu Bian: "Your Highness, look, the Great Wall!" ”

Looking forward in the direction of Guan Qing's finger, sure enough, far in front of him, there was an endless city wall that led to the end of the horizon.

Seeing the city wall, Liu Wei turned his head to Deng Zhan on the side and said: "This king has never been to the Great Wall, and today he is close to the foot of the Great Wall, and this king wants to go to the city to take a look." ”

"The Great Wall is magnificent, how many alien invasions have been blocked!" Looking up at the Great Wall linking the sky in the distance, Deng Zhan said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness wants to see the Great Wall, and you must have a good fortune in your chest!" This great Han foundation, if it is not His Highness, there is probably no second person to protect! ”

"Ha Lu Ha!" After listening to Deng Zhan's words, Liu Wei raised his head and laughed twice, and said to Deng Zhan: "Mr. only knows that this king likes the majesty of the Great Wall, but he doesn't know that this king is also tired of the Great Wall!" At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu committed the border, and our Han officers and soldiers defended all over the place, and the border passes were still in flames for many years, and the mother of the country, Empress Lu, was also insulted by the Huns in a letter. Until Emperor Wu ascended the throne, the two generals Wei Qing and Huo Qubing took over the military power, waved their troops to the hinterland of the Xiongnu, and killed the Xiongnu Shan Yu Yi Pheasant, so that the Xiongnu bowed down to the vassal! ”

Riding his horse and galloping wildly, Liu Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, and then said to Deng Zhan: "The Huns bow down to their vassals, but they are not completely submissive. After the death of Emperor Wu, the Xiongnu did not change their stubborn nature, and they still attacked and harassed our Han border for many years. It was not until Emperor Guangwu quelled Wang Mang's rebellion and Emperor Ming ascended the throne that the Xiongnu were completely defeated and divided into the northern and southern Xiongnu! ”

"Your Highness has a deep hatred for the Huns!" Riding on horseback, turning his head to look at Liu Wei who was galloping beside him, Deng Zhan said to him: "Dong Zhuo is chaotic, all kinds of heroes are fighting each other, and now the Southern Xiongnu are also eager to try, and the Wuhuan in the east has many horses to come to the Central Plains, I am afraid that the people of the Central Plains will have to be bullied by that Hulu!" ”

"As long as there is this king for a day, Hu Lu will not be allowed to succeed!" The corners of Liu Wei's eyes twitched slightly, his legs clamped fiercely on the horse's belly, speeding up the galloping speed of the horse, and shouted to Deng Zhan: "Sir, hurry up, I'll get to the Great Wall sooner, this king can't help but want to see the infinite scenery!" ”

Guan Qing, who was embraced by Liu Bian, listened to Liu Bian's words, frowned at his delicate little brows, pursed his lips tightly, and thought about what Liu Bian had just said.

The horses galloped, and the wind passed by their ears, making a "whirring" sound. But Guan Qing didn't seem to hear the wind at all, and her thinking was still focused on what Liu Wei had just said.

In the past, in the Yellow Turban Army, she only knew how to fight with the officers and soldiers. took refuge in Liu Bian, and only knew that he wanted to help Liu Biao conquer the world, but he never considered the question of Hu Lu.

Liu Wei's remarks just now made him suddenly have a strong concept of Hu Lu's attack. She faintly felt that in Liu Bian's eyes, all the heroes and powers were likely to become allies, but north of the Great Wall, Hu Lu, who was eyeing the Central Plains, had never been regarded by Liu Wei as an ally that could be united.

Although I saw the image of the Great Wall from afar, when I actually walked up, it was not as close as it seemed.

Everyone rode their horses and galloped for nearly an hour before the Great Wall really became clear in front of their eyes.

"Look at the mountains and run dead horses!" Looking at the Great Wall, which was already very clear, Liu Wei took the reins, let the horse move forward slowly, and said to Guan Qing as he walked: "Today, this king will accompany you back to the Great Wall." ”

Sitting in front of Liu Wei, Guan Qing pursed his lips and was silent for a while before he whispered to him: "Your Highness doesn't like the Great Wall, and the little girl doesn't want to climb it!" ”

"Who says this king doesn't like the Great Wall?" There was a faint smile on the corner of Liu Wei's mouth, and he said to Guan Qing: "The Great Wall stretches across the northern land, is the barrier of the Central Plains, and is also the backbone of my Huaxia people. As a Han clan, how could this king not like it! ”

While riding his horse slowly forward, Liu Wei continued to say to Guan Qing: "It's just that this king doesn't like defense, for this king, the real effective defense is offense!" Offensive! Unstoppable Attack! But this Great Wall, while protecting the land of the Central Plains, also makes people living in peace forget the suffering of the past! Forget about blood! Forgot about the offense! Forget the glory of being born a Chinese! ”

Liu Wei's words not only made Guan Qing bow his head and think, but even Deng Zhan and Dong Niang, who had slowed down and were riding with them, also had a look of contemplation on their faces.

The Great Wall was getting closer and closer, and when everyone reached the foot of the Great Wall, Liu Wei looked up at the tall city wall, shook off the reins, and looked for the stairs to climb the city.

The majestic Great Wall stretches for thousands of miles, and on the wide city wall, at intervals, there will be a beacon tower set up to prevent the invasion of Hulu.

On the city wall, Liu Wei turned over and jumped off the horse, and hugged Guan Qing on the horse.

As soon as Guan Qing jumped off the horse, he reached out and took the reins of the war horse, led the war horse, followed Liu Wei, and walked towards a female wall not far away.

Deng Zhan, who went to the city with them, also got off the war horse, handed the war horse to Dong Niang to lead, quickly followed Liu Wei, and walked behind him.

Passing through the female wall and reaching the other side of the wall, Liu Wei walked to a battlement, holding the battlements with both hands, and looked north.

Because it has not been repaired for hundreds of years, the battlements of the Great Wall are covered with floating earth and dust, some of which have been weathered and become one with the city walls, and are as hard as stone.

To the west of the city wall is a vast green mountain, while to the north is a dense jungle.

The verdant trees shaded the hundreds of miles of mountains and rivers outside the city wall, looking at this endless green, Liu Wei took a deep breath and closed his eyes as if he was enjoying it.

There were mountains and forests everywhere, and gusts of wind blew from the city wall higher than the mountain forest, rolling up the dust on the city wall, and after a while, the clothes and armor on Liu Wei and others were blown into a gray yellow.

Standing behind Liu Bian, holding the hilt of the sword with his hand, looking at the vast expanse outside the city wall, Deng Zhan said to Liu Bian: "Your Highness, the wind is strong on the city wall, it is important to leave early and rush to Jundu Mountain!" ”

"No hurry!" Liu Wei waved his hand and said to Deng Zhan: "Mr. walked in the world in the past, he must have been accustomed to seeing the joys and wits of the world, but I don't know how he feels when he comes to this city wall?" ”

Liu Wei once again mentioned the feeling of standing on the Great Wall, Deng Zhan smiled slightly, and said to him: "A certain person is not as world-minded as His Highness. This Great Wall has also been here twice, once by passing over the Great Wall, and the other time by inviting a swordsman to compete with a sword. ”

"Mr. swordsmanship, the best in the world, who dares to compete with Mr. Deng Zhan said that he had been invited to compete on the Great Wall, Liu Wei turned his head to look at him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and asked him.

"Emperor Wang Yue!" Speaking of that competition, Deng Zhan seemed to be a little reluctant to mention it and said to Liu Wei: "The two of us came to the Great Wall to compete in swords that day, and we had already agreed in advance that no matter if we won or lost, we would not mention it to anyone. Today, His Royal Highness asked, and a certain person did not dare to answer truthfully. ”

"It doesn't matter if you win or lose." Liu Wei smiled slightly, and did not ask about the victory or defeat of Deng Zhan and Wang Yue's sword competition that day, but turned his head to look at the vast mountains and forests outside the Great Wall, and said to Deng Zhan: "Just choose to compete in such a majestic place, you already have the style of a peerless swordsman." ”
