lord! ” Wei Xu stared at Zhang Liaoyuan’s retreating figure, “Zhang Wenyuan has no good intentions! 』


    Lü Bu was noncommittal.


    『This article must have come from far away to seek to seize the master’s authority! ” Wei Xu said fiercely, “When Guishang is defeated, his plot will be exposed! 』


    “Okay,” Lu Bu waved his hand, “I understand. 』


    lord…』


    Wei Xu was about to say more, but was interrupted by Lu Bu impatiently, "I say!" That’s it! Didn''t you hear that? ! 』


    …　　　　…　　　　…　　　　　　　　　　　　…　　　　　　　…　　　　　　　　　　……　　　　　…　　　　　　　　　　……　　　　　…　　　　　　……　　　　　　　　…‖ by 『Subordinate, I only want to do this for my lord…』


    Lu Bu looked at Wei Xu, was silent for a while, and softened his tone, "Okay, I know, you go down first... We are going to set off tomorrow, but we still need to take care of the military affairs, and we can''t make any omissions..."


    Wei Xu quickly agreed and then retreated.


    Lu Bu watched Wei Xu leave and sat down again.


    ??The bonfire was leaping and crackling.


    After sitting in silence for a while, Lu Bu fell asleep in silence.


    Not long after sleeping, Lu Bu suddenly woke up from his dream, then turned over and sat up, clasping his hands, as if he was about to attack the enemies hidden around him at the next moment.


    ?There was silence all around, except for the occasional snoring in the distance and the chirping of some insects nearby.


    Lu Bu breathed heavily.


    There was a fierce light in his eyes, and he looked around. After a long time, Lu Bu''s tense body gradually relaxed, and then he lay down again and closed his eyes...


    At dusk of the next day, Lu Bu was fully armed and stood on the hill.


    This is about twenty miles southeast of Qiu Ci.


    ??The Tianshan Mountains extend from the north, where they merge with the plateau of the Western Regions. It seemed that they were unwilling to climb to the sky, so some rolling hills were left in this area. Lu Bu was standing on one of them.


    ?The wind became more and more fierce, passing through the undulating hills, making a whining sound in the ears, and the shrubs and weeds on the slopes and slopes rustled together. In the wilderness, there were occasionally one or two howls of wolves caught in the wind, which sounded particularly sad and shrill to the ears.


    Hearing the howl of the wild wolf, Lu Bu''s hand trembled slightly, which surprised Lu Bu himself. He looked down at his hand, as if he felt that his hand had betrayed him. Although many scenes in last night''s nightmare have become blurry and indifferent, there is only one that left a very deep impression...


    In the nightmare, Lu Bu was surrounded by all kinds of resentment, fear and sorrow. Eyes, big and small, filled the whole space and the whole world. Lu Bu couldn''t help but get goosebumps when he thought about it. .


    ??There was also the aura of death that accompanied those eyes, like a gloomy curse, imprinted on Lu Bu''s heart, and it was rolling over again at this moment, making him feel chilled in his heart.


    Lu Bu had seen the eyes of many people before they died. When he was young, Lu Bu would not have thought about this at all, nor would he have felt the horror of those eyes filled with various strong emotions, but now he suddenly felt that he had not known that he had ignored it earlier. , or those things that have been forgotten.


    Perhaps he overlooked something more.


    What did he want when he left Jiuyuan?


    Has he got it now?


    What else haven’t you got?


    ?And that piece of paper...


    ?That piece of paper looks like a joke.


    Lu Bu stood silently.


    Lu Bu really never thought that Fei Qian still kept the piece of paper he signed.


    But people always change, right?


    ??The true love back then is indeed unforgettable for the rest of my life, but what can I do?


    Lu Bu couldn''t help but look east. The setting sun fell gently on this piece of land in the Western Region. The mountains in the distance are like dark blue, and the horizon lies quietly, like an innocent child who has nothing to do with the world.


    Children will eventually grow up, and innocence will eventually turn into sophistication.


    Lu Bu was afraid of getting hurt, so he would rather hurt others.


    Before going to the Western Regions, Lu Bu had talked a lot with Fei Qian, from soldiers to horses, from the Western Regions to Western Europe, from land to population, from military affairs to civil affairs. It seemed that they had talked about everything, but the only thing he had not said was, After Lu Bu conquered the Western Regions, what would happen next?


    Lü Bu did not dare to ask.


    ?Fei Qian didn’t say anything.


    ??The reason why Lu Bu didn''t dare to ask is that Lu Bu is no longer the confident Lu Fengxian he used to be. At that time, Lu Bu already had the idea of ????escape in his heart, but he was unwilling to admit it. Lu Bu was afraid, afraid of losing again. Once again, he was like a dog, being driven and wandering around, with his tail between his legs, in panic all day long.


    The reason why Fei Qian didn''t tell him, Lu Bu didn''t know...


    Because Fei Qian at that time was already different from Fei Qian in Luoyang.


    When we were in Luoyang, Feiqian was like a pool of water, crystal clear and very simple. But when Lu Bu was about to conquer the Western Regions, he felt that Feiqian was already like a sea. There might be no waves on the surface, but there were complicated undercurrents under the water.


    Therefore, Lu Bu couldn''t believe it.


    He is afraid.


    Haunted.


    Even after conquering the Western Region, he was still uneasy.


    Lu Bu longed for more things to protect himself. The men, the power, the merits, everything is because of the little child huddled together under Lu Bu''s arrogant and complacent exterior.


    A child who has not yet grown up.


    The snorting of the war horse disrupted Lu Bu''s thoughts, causing him to suddenly wake up and shift his attention to what was in front of him.


    The Kushan army is approaching, and it is clear that they are preparing to fight and use their numerical advantage to slowly wear away themselves. Therefore, the advantage in frontal combat is not very great. Just like Zhang Liao said, if the Kushan army can be pulled apart, it will be divided. But if you eat it, you have a greater chance of winning.


    Lu Bu looked in the direction of Qiu Ci.


    ?In that direction, it was still peaceful.


    After nightfall, Zhang Liao would set fire to the city of Qiuci and take on the responsibility of luring the enemy, and then lure the Kushan army here.


    There are not many places where you can ambush in the Western Region, but they are not few. The natural ravines are enough to hide some troops. There are hills here, and there is also a large area of ??flat plains. Although it is not the best place for an ambush, it is barely enough.


    Lu Bu looked up and saw that not long after the sunset, the stars appeared impatiently in the sky.


    ?Those little gleams of light flashed like countless cold eyes.


    ?These eyes…


    They are the eyes full of murderous intent in nightmares, and they seem to be the eyes full of wisdom of Fei Qian in Chang''an in the distance. They are constantly overlapping and increasing, staring at the Western Region and Lu Bu.


    The present and the past seem to be superimposed.


    Ding Yuan''s fearful and puzzled eyes, his scream before death, "Why..."


    Dong Zhuo''s roar seemed to be vaguely audible, "I gave you food, clothes, a BMW, and an official position. You are my dog!" How dare you take action against me? ! How dare? ! If I die... you will die too... you will get nothing, get nothing... you will eventually be betrayed... and I... will keep watching... waiting..."


    Why don’t I trust you? Because you are not worthy of trust! Yuan Shao''s abusive voice was still vaguely echoing in Lu Bu''s ears, "If you betray once or twice, you will definitely betray a third time!" Countless times! In the end, you yourself will be like Ding Yuan, just like Dong Zhuo, betraying everyone! Who else would use you? Who else dares to help you? Once or twice, relying on luck, I tried to take shortcuts, steal, rob, or deceive, but little tricks are never tricks! You are a shameless villain! 』


    There was also Zhang Miao''s smiling face, "Marquis Wen, it doesn''t make sense for you to say this... We have agreed before that you have to resist Cao Mengde... At the beginning you agreed with your breasts, but now you say you can''t." I need reinforcements and supplies. Do you think I''m stupid? 』


    As for the three-inch Cao Cao, he laughed arrogantly, "You are just a lost dog!" 』


    no!


    That’s not the case!


    ?Who dares to betray me? ! No one can betray me!


    ?Lu Bu gritted his teeth, his blood boiling. He felt his violent heartbeat and rising anger...


    ?There is also a faint, small fear underneath the anger.


    Episodes of cold sweat broke out on Lu Bu''s back, and he felt an indescribable coldness when the wind blew him.


    In this early summer night, Lu Bu could not feel the slightest warmth.


    Lu Bu suppressed his uneasiness and turned around, waving his hand behind him. Wei Xu hurried over and whispered: "My lord, may I ask what you have ordered?" 』


    Lu Bu said: "Let the sons and gentlemen move nearby without making any noise, lest their hands and feet get stiff in the face of battle and they cannot hold the sword and gun." 』The terrain in this area is uneven, and the soldiers are hidden in the valleys between the hills. If the Kushan army hadn''t come close, they would never have noticed that there were soldiers and horses ambushed here. However, the disadvantage is that the surface of the Western Region is dry and prone to wind and sand. If there is a lot of movement during the day, it will inevitably be easily seen. Now that it''s night, it''s time to move around.


    Wei Xu smiled and said, "My lord is still considerate!" The subordinates will go and deliver the order. 』


    ?After a while, Wei Xu came back to resume his life, and then Lu Bu could hear some small sounds down the slope.


    Lu Bu closed his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Do you have any questions about my plan this time?" 』


    Wei Xu glanced at Lu Bu and hesitated, not daring to ask.


    Lu Bu exhaled, "Didn''t you say that Zhang Wenyuan was untrustworthy before?" 』


    “Lord, I just think...Zhang Wenyuan is not of the same mind as us after all...” Wei Xu whispered, “If he really wants to harm us, now is probably the best opportunity...”


    "Well..." Lu Bu responded, and then said with a little emotion, "You, don''t think that Zhang Wenyuan may do this or that, just to doubt him... It''s just a possibility, so just beware of Zhang Wenyuan first. This is wrong... After all, he was also Have worked with us..."


    Lu Bu looked up at the night sky and said slowly: "You can''t kill that person first just because you are afraid of what he will do... This is wrong... What''s more, now that the Kushan army is coming, Zhang Wenyuan is also from the Han family." Only if people join hands to fight against each other can justice be achieved. If at this moment, Zhang Wenyuan and Zhang Wenyuan are still at odds with each other, then how can they still fight? 』


    In fact, Lu Bu had been thinking about all this for a long time, and he deliberately told Wei Xu now, not to really hear Wei Xu have any better suggestions or plans, but to use this reason to evaluate his own confidence. Rather than explaining it to Wei Xu, it was actually more of a matter of repeating it to myself.


    The Kushan Allied Forces have a large number of people, but a large number of people does not necessarily guarantee victory. As long as they can fight a simple and beautiful battle and make the Kushan Allied Forces suffer a little, various disagreements will arise, which will eventually lead to the collapse of the entire coalition.


    Just like the Shandong Allied Forces back then...


    Qiu Ci was the Yangcheng of that year.


    Everything is like a repetition, everything is like a reenactment.


    Lu Bu was a little lost in the memories of that year, and his expression became slightly dazed. At that time, he could not see clearly the direction of the future. He could only drift with the current and be trapped in the turbulent waves. It seemed that he had made the choice himself, but in fact it was all calculated by others.


    Can he see the future clearly now?


    Can you escape this river and escape other people''s schemes?


    ?Lu Bu glanced at Wei Xu.


    ??Wei Xu smiled at Lu Bu.


    ?This smile looks a little silly.


    ?Lu Bu also laughed.


    Also a little silly.


    ? Sometimes when Lu Bu looked at Wei Xu, he felt that Wei Xu was actually himself.


    A me who is more timid and incompetent, but has enlarged my desires.


    Defeating Kushan is a complete achievement. Lu Bu said to Wei Xu, "When the time comes... forget it, the most important thing right now is to defeat Kushan!" Do you understand? To defeat Kushan! 』


    The night gradually deepened, and a little light suddenly rose in the direction of Qiu Ci. Soon more light and fire joined in, forming a dazzling brilliance that seemed to penetrate from the ground to the sky. The sky was illuminated by the fire and seemed to be missing. A piece of ink!


    Faintly, it seemed that there was also a noisy sound in the night wind.


    Chasing escaped prey is an instinct engraved in human genes in ancient times. So when the Kushan coalition saw the Han army burning Qiu Ci and fleeing, how many people would be able to resist this instinctive drive?


    Wei Xu clapped his hands and said, "Haha, the fire is so fast!" What a big fire! This fire can be seen not only twenty miles away, but even a hundred miles away! The Kushan Allied Forces will definitely send people to test and lure them here... Such a pincer attack from front to back! It’s a big victory! 』


    Lu Bu looked at the rising fire and breathed a sigh of relief. Everything seemed to be going according to plan.


    ??But for some reason, Lu Bu still had a faint worry in his heart, like a ferocious beast entrenched deep in his heart. In the dark abyss, it showed its ferocious eyes and roared in a low voice.


    It’s not that Lu Bu has never fought tough and vicious battles in the past, but why does he feel so much pressure this time?


    ?Lu Bu didn’t quite understand.


    I didn’t quite understand it, so I didn’t continue to think about it.


    Wei Xu''s breathing became rapid and he said excitedly: "My lord, do you want to tell your sons to get ready for battle now?" 』


    Lu Bu nodded and said, "That''s fine, but don''t be too hasty. Let''s move around first and feed the war horses... No matter how fast the Kushan army moves, it will still take an hour or two... We can''t consume too much energy right now, lest we …』


    As he was speaking, Lu Bu suddenly felt some strange tremors on the ground, and then a rolling sound came over.


    Lu Bu couldn''t help but be surprised. There were clearly a large number of cavalry galloping rapidly!


    But this direction, this quantity...


    Nothing is right!


    ?In the blink of an eye, the sound of horse hooves resounded throughout the land, and the earth trembled!


    ?The night was shrouded, smoke and dust could not be seen, and the shaking of the earth could not provide accurate direction, as if enemies were coming from all directions.


    Lu Bu looked to the west, but there was nothing unusual in the west. When Lu Bu turned to the east, there was a buzzing in his head. To the east, he saw torches waving and shaking all over the mountains and plains, as if the ground was rising. Countless meteors swept over the sky from the east!


    ?Who is this?


    Is it a horse riding a horse?


    Lu Bu''s face suddenly turned livid. Why weren''t there any scouts there who informed us in advance? Lu Bu thought about it and realized it was Zhang Liao! It was Zhang Liao who said that he should pay close attention to the movements of Kushan in order to grasp the best time to set fire!


    So most of the scouts were used on the west side!


    It seemed like a wave of ice coldness spread directly from the ground to his whole body, freezing Lu Bu''s mind!


    Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan!


    ?? Could it be that this so-called advice from Liao was actually just to frame me? ! It was said that they burned Qiu Cicheng and attracted the Kushan coalition forces. In fact, it was a signal to the troops in the rear, with the intention of annihilating me here? !


    Good plan!


    How vicious!


    What a great Zhang Wenyuan!


    What a great hussar general!


    『My lord, my lord! ” Wei Xu shouted eagerly.


    Lu Bu recovered from the initial shock and found that not only Wei Xu, but also the guards behind him and the soldiers down the **** had panic expressions on their faces.


    Wei Xu seemed to have lost all color, with a pale face and trembling hands. He asked eagerly: "Lord, this is the enemy... The enemy is coming from the east... What should we do? What should we do?" 』


    Haha...hahahaha! Lu Bu suddenly laughed loudly and said, "Young men!" Just some clowns! As long as I, Lu Fengxian, am here, who in the world can stop me? ! Sons and gentlemen! Now that these little thieves have jumped out, it saves me the trouble of looking for them! Pass on my general''s orders! Immediately mount the entire army and follow someone to fight! Even mountains of swords and seas of fire crushed him! 』


    Amidst the roaring response of the soldiers, Lu Bu descended the slope, mounted his horse, and then led his troops around from behind the hills to meet the enemy from the east...


    Behind the hills, the Kushan Allied Forces coming from the west cannot see their troops, but the enemies coming from the east can easily see the lights on their side, since they can no longer hide them. , it’s better to fight directly!


    In the pitch-black night, the enemy troops coming from the east seemed to have slowed down a bit in their overwhelming flames, and gradually gathered to form a bright sea of ??torches. They seemed to be arranging their ranks, gathering together the formations that had become loose due to the rapid march.


    Who is this enemy coming from the east?


    Lu Bu tightened his grip on the Fang Tian Painted Halberd in his hand.


    No matter what, anyone who appears in front of him now is an enemy!


    Anyone who dares to block the footsteps of Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian is an enemy!


    There is only one way to deal with the enemy...


    kill!


    Just kill, that''s all.


    Kill it, fight it out, fight your way out, fight your way out, fight your way out!


    It’s so cool to kill!


    ??This is Lu Bu''s consistent thought over the years, and it is also the path he has followed from beginning to end!


    "kill! 』


    ??Lü Bu raised the Fangtian Painted Halberd and roared like a trapped animal...
