Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later
Chapter 2: Ambush
The man who came was Wei Xu, the younger brother of Lü Bu's wife, Wei Shi. He was fifteen years old and looked a bit chubby. When he heard that his hometown was under siege, he ran to find Lü Bu immediately, because his brother-in-law was the only one in the entire military camp who dared to challenge the general.
"what?"
Lu Bu's expression was serious at first, but when he saw Wei Xu's familiar face, his eyes suddenly became cold.
In the dream, he was defeated in Xia Pi because Wei Xu, Hou Cheng and Song Xian betrayed him, tied up Chen Gong and opened the city gate to welcome Cao Cao's surrender.
He did not know Hou Cheng and Song Xian, so their faces were blurry, but Wei Xu's face appeared extremely clearly in his dream. In his dream, he wished he could eat his flesh and gnaw his bones.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Lu Bu staring at him coldly, Wei Xu asked curiously.
Lu Bu came back to his senses and looked away awkwardly, "Nothing. By the way, what did you say just now?"
A dream is just a dream, how can you take it seriously? He is really confused.
Wei Xu said anxiously, "The Hu people have surrounded Jiuyuan, and the general is refusing to send troops to relieve it. You should go and persuade him."
"How come I didn't know when Jiuyuan was surrounded?" Lu Bu said solemnly.
"Just got the news."
Thinking of his family in Jiuyuan, Lu Bu put the system and the strange dream aside for the time being, and walked hurriedly towards the main tent of the central army.
"Lü Fengxian, what are you looking for me so late at night?"
The border army commander Yang Chuo was awakened from his sleep and glared at Lu Bu with a cold face. This guy was just a small military officer. Relying on his bravery and the support of a group of local soldiers, he often looked down on him, the commander-in-chief. It was really hateful.
"Jiuyuan is in danger, why don't you send troops, General?" Lu Bu's face was even colder than his.
"What right do you, a mere military officer, have to interfere with my decision? Besides, when did I ever say I wouldn't send troops?" Yang Chuo said angrily.
Lu Bu looked him up and down at his white silk inner garment and sneered, "General, the military situation is urgent, and you still have the mind to sleep?"
Hearing the sarcasm in his words, Yang Chuo was furious and wanted to scold Lü Bu, but suddenly he remembered his plan. He took a deep breath and said patiently, "It's getting late today. The Hu people have come from afar and won't attack the city at night. Besides, we have a group of troops stationed in Jiuyuan. They can hold out for a day or two. Why are you so anxious?"
What he said seemed to make some sense, and Lü Bu's anger subsided a little. However, he was still worried because his family was in Jiuyuan. He said, "Why don't I lead a group of people over there to take a look?"
"No!" Yang Chuo refused without thinking.
"Why?" Lu Bu looked at him strangely.
Yang Chuo avoided his gaze guiltily and explained, "It's a dark night with strong winds. What if we're ambushed by the Hu people along the way? Your own death is a minor matter, but causing the lives of so many soldiers to be lost is a major one."
"General..."
Before Lü Bu could say anything else, Yang Chuo hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Fengxian. This place is not far from Jiuyuan. Let the soldiers rest well tonight. We will send troops early tomorrow morning and arrive by noon. Jiuyuan will not be lost."
As he spoke, he pushed the person out, "You should also go back and rest early to conserve your energy. The Japanese general will rely on you to kill the enemy tomorrow."
Under normal circumstances, Lu Bu would have definitely continued to pester her, but today he looked a little dazed. Sometimes he felt that he was nineteen years old, and sometimes he felt that he was middle-aged.
He was sure that the dream was false, but he couldn't help but think about it. He remembered that Jiuyuan in the dream had not been conquered by the Hu people, his family was still alive and well, and his pregnant wife had given birth to a lovely daughter for him.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu felt a little relieved and said goodbye and went back.
Seeing Lü Bu walking away, Yang Chao's deputy general, Yang Tai, said worriedly, "General, if the head of the family knew what we did, I'm afraid he wouldn't let you or me off easily."
Yang Chuo said, "I'm not really collaborating with the enemy. I'm just using the Hu people to get rid of Lü Bu. Lü Bu is a skilled warrior and a brilliant leader. Only by making him completely lose his mind can the ambush succeed. Don't worry, I'll personally lead the troops to fight the Hu people afterwards, and no one will know."
The next morning, Yang Chuo had indeed assembled his troops early and was ready to go to Jiuyuan to rescue them. The troops had just walked two miles when a group of remnants of the army came running towards them in panic.
The first person shouted from a distance, "General, Jiuyuan was captured last night and the city was brutally massacred."
Because they were far away, he couldn't hear clearly what the other party said, but when he saw this group of people fleeing from the direction of Jiuyuan, Lu Bu had a bad premonition in his heart. Without waiting for Yang Chuo to ask, he rode forward.
"General, Jiuyuan was captured last night and the whole city was massacred!"
This time Lu Bu heard clearly. His face suddenly changed. He jumped off his horse and grabbed the man by the collar. "What did you say? Say it again!"
The visitor wiped the tears and sweat from his face, "Fengxian, Jiuyuan, Jiuyuan was massacred by the Hu people..."
"how is this possible?"
Lu Bu roared, his fists clenched at his sides, rattling. "The Hu people only have 4,000 men. How could they possibly capture the city in one night?"
The soldier who brought the news was named Li Su, a childhood friend of Lu Bu. He panted, "I don't know the specifics. We didn't take turns guarding last night. When we woke up in the middle of the night, the city gates were broken down. The Hu people were killing everyone they saw. I led some people to rescue my mother, but when we arrived, she and the others had already been killed..."
He cried and said, "Fengxian, it's my fault that I was incompetent and couldn't save my mother and the others. I'm sorry..."
Wei Xu rushed over and asked anxiously, "What about my home?"
Li Su shook his head. "I don't know, I'm just afraid..."
Wei Xu's eyes were red, and he was about to ride back to Jiuyuan. Lu Bu stopped him, looked at Li Su, and squeezed out a few words through his teeth, "Where are the Hu people?"
Li Su said, "The Hu people plundered Jiuyuan overnight and have fled to the northern desert."
Lu Bu jumped on his horse, picked up his halberd and chased towards the north. It was his fault, all his fault. He actually believed a dream. If he had returned to Jiuyuan first last night, his family would not have died tragically.
"Brother-in-law, wait for me!"
Wei Xu shouted and rode up to catch up. Behind them, nearly a thousand soldiers followed. Most of them were Lu Bu's confidants, and some were from Jiuyuan.
"Stop, Lu Fengxian, where are you going? All of you, stop right there!"
Yang Chuo shouted from behind, and except for a few soldiers who hesitated and stopped, most people ignored his orders.
"You disobey military orders and have no respect for your superiors. You deserve death!"
Yang Chuo narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction where Lu Bu and others left, his voice as cold as ice.
……
Wuyuan County and the Xianbei are separated by the Yinshan Mountains. There is a narrow passage in the middle of the mountains. The cold wind from the north in winter passes through this passage and goes straight into Wuyuan. The locals call it the Gale Road.
The Jifeng Road is about ten miles deep, with slopes on both sides, and only a passage of five or six feet wide in the middle. The slopes are sparsely covered with vegetation and dotted with strange rocks, making it very dangerous.
Under normal circumstances, Lu Bu would have sent someone in to explore the road conditions first, but at this moment he had completely lost his mind. The only things in his mind were his mother, his sister, and his pregnant wife. He just wanted to tear the Hu people into pieces immediately.
The horse galloped on the windy road. Although it was spring, the cold wind from the north was still as sharp as a sword, making the stones on the slope tremble.
"Boom boom——"
Suddenly, there were bursts of rumbling sounds in the howling cold wind, like the surge of spring thunder, and the white boulders that had been standing quietly on the slope rolled down like snowballs.
"There's an ambush!"
Wei Xu, who was the first to react, shouted urgently, "Retreat quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw several huge rocks rolling down from behind, knocking down dozens of soldiers and blocking their retreat.
Stones rolled down one after another, and the rumbling sound of rolling stones, the howling of soldiers and the sound of breaking flesh and bones resounded throughout the Gale Road. In the blink of an eye, more than half of the soldiers were buried under the stones.
Lu Bu came back to his senses from his anger, his eyes bloodshot, "Quick, speed up and charge forward!"
He drove his horse forward at full speed and turned a small bend, but found that the road ahead was also blocked by rocks. They were trapped in the middle and could not move forward or backward.
The rocks were rolling around, and the flesh and blood body could not resist at all. Every huge rock that fell would bring out screams and create a bloody pit.
Seeing his comrades who had followed him across the grassland being knocked over and killed without any resistance, Lu Bu's red eyes gradually turned into despair.
What good was his invincible courage? He couldn't stop the tumbling boulders, couldn't break through the blocked intersection, because he was blinded by anger. Today, these people would pay the price of their lives for his mistake, and he would also end his short life here.
Last night's dream emerged in my mind. Although his death in the dream was not glorious, at least he once held great power and ruled a region. But now, with his blood feud still unrevenged, he was going to be smashed into a meat pie like a coward?
No, even if he died, Lu Bu would take a few Hu people with him.
Lu Bu dismounted, picked up his halberd and rushed up the slope. Just as he reached the edge, he saw a round stone as big as a wheel coming towards him. Lu Bu swung his halberd reflexively and hit it. With a loud bang, the boulder was thrown diagonally to the slope next to him. Two soldiers who were pushing the stone were not paying attention and were crushed into meat patties on the spot.
Lu Bu was stunned, looking at his hands in disbelief. He was extremely strong, but not to such an extent. It would take two of him to block such a big stone.
At this moment of distraction, another big stone rolled over. Lu Bu swung his halberd and hit it hard. The stone flew back to the slope and broke into pieces with a bang. The broken stones flew everywhere, causing screams on the slope.
Lu Bu did not go up the hill, but stood below, waving the halberd in his hand, and hit the rolling stones back one by one like playing tennis, with great precision.
The soldiers lying in ambush on the hillside were dumbfounded. How the hell could this be done by human power?
The surviving soldiers were also dumbfounded. Did Lu Junhou take the powerful magic pill?
"Quick, get behind me!" Lu Bu yelled at the stunned soldiers.
After he threw dozens of stones in succession, the ambushers on the hillside finally collapsed. They no longer cared about military orders and fled to the top of the mountain in panic.
Lu Bu stared coldly at the leader, picked up a football-sized stone and smashed it at him. The man was hit on the waist and rolled down with a scream. His limp body rolled halfway and got stuck on a stone on the slope.
"Ah Xu, go up and see if it's Yang Tai, Yang Chuo's personal guard?"
"promise!"
Wei Xu responded and climbed up the slope.
"Brother-in-law, it's Yang Tai. These ambushers are Yang Chuo's men. He wants to kill us!" Wei Xu stood on top and shouted angrily.
Yang Chuo!
Lu Bu's heart felt like it was being poured with kerosene, his anger was burning, and the halberd in his hand was crackling as he squeezed it.
