After walking for several more days, Lu Bu and the others returned to the Jiuyuan Valley.

Along the way, I came back with food saving, and just like that, everyone was starving. When they retreated, they had six days of dry food, but they were tired and hungry, and they came back and walked for eight days before they arrived, so they saved food and barely supported until they came back.

To say that basically everyone is hungry, but only Ma Chao is not very hungry. Everyone brought eight days of dry food according to the military order, and this kid was afraid of hunger, so he prepared four more days privately, so he was not hungry.

Finally arrived home, looking at the valley after more than ten days of absence, Ma Chao felt very cordial. stayed in the valley for another day, and when he counted the number of people, Ma Chao found that there were no people he was familiar with such as Sun Yi, Hao Yang and Wang Da among the people who came back, and even Huang Bin, who was the opponent during the drill competition, did not come back.

There is only one answer, they all died in Danhan Mountain, and they will never come back. Ma Chao was sad for a while, but he knew that it was useless to be sad. This is indeed the case, but Sun Yi and Wang Da laughed at the last moment, which is good.

Lu Bu ordered the whole army to assemble in the training school, Ma Chao walked to the school, and after everyone in the school field arrived, Lu Bu said loudly: "Brothers, we are back." But most of the brothers can't come back, but they didn't die in vain, and everyone's blood was not shed in vain, look! As he spoke, Lu Bu lifted a human head with his right hand.

"This is the head of Xianbei Sandalwood Acacia, I brought it back! Use it to honor our dead brothers! After speaking, let the head of the sandalwood acacia be hung on the top of the military flag of the state army. It's a pity that Tanshi Huai, the leader of Xianbei, a generation of heroes, has fallen into such a fate.

The soldiers below were boiling and shouted in unison: "Flying General! Flyer! Mighty! Mighty! ”

Tanshi Huai can be said to have a great enmity with the people of Bingzhou, so his death brought great encouragement to the soldiers below, Tan Shihuai died in the hands of his own army where the soldiers were, and it can be regarded as the revenge of countless robes killed by Tanshi Huai, and hundreds of people.

The cheers from the audience lasted for a long time, which shows how much hatred everyone has for this person.

Lu Bu raised his left hand, and the soldiers stopped calling, "Brothers, tomorrow I will travel with your lord, and please guard the camp these days when I am not there, and wait for us to return!" ”

After speaking, Lu Bu returned to the military tent, and the soldiers below also returned to their respective battalions.

Early the next morning, Lu Bu and the four of them set off on horseback, and it was Zhang Yang who brought Ma Chao with them. Lu Bu is in a good mood these days, and Ma Chao has also helped him, so he didn't say anything about one more person. Gao Shun didn't talk much, Lu Bu didn't have any opinions, and of course he wouldn't say anything.

They rode for more than a day on horseback and finally reached their destination on the afternoon of September 12. They came to a deserted cemetery outside Yunzhong City in Yunzhong County, Bingzhou.

Zhang Yang said to Ma Chao: "This is the cemetery of all the soldiers who died on the battlefield in the battle in the clouds. Fengxian, Fuyi, and my father are also buried here. ”

After Ma Chao learned the Tao, he was in awe, this is the resting place of the soldiers who defend the country and deserve to be admired by the world.

Lu Bu and the three came to the three tombstones, and Ma Chao also followed. The three of them knelt down, and Lu Bu also took a wooden box and put it in front of the tombstone, and after opening it, Ma Chao saw that it was the head of the sandalwood acacia tree. This is what they specially used to pay tribute to their ancestors.

Ma Chao saw that the three of them knelt down, and he also knelt down, but he knelt behind Zhang Yang.

I only heard Lu Bu say: "Father, the unfilial son Lu Bu has come to see you!" Now I have finally stabbed the enemy and avenged you! ”

Lu Bu burst into tears when he spoke, and Gao Shun and Zhang Yang were also in tears, which shows that hatred has pressed them for so many years, and their pressure is indeed too great. …,

Then Lu Bu said a few more words, nothing more than why he has not been here for so many years, and now he can finally come over, and then he has already married a family, and he will bring his wife and daughter together in the future.

Gao Shun and Zhang Yang also muttered a few words, Zhang Yang's words also added Ma Chao, Zhang Yang said to the tombstone: "Father, my son has made another friend, and he is also coming to see you today!" ”

As soon as Ma Chao heard about himself, he hurriedly said: "Uncle, my name is Ma Chao, Ma Mengqi, I am a friend of Uncle Zhi, let's come to see you today, you are the people I admire the most in my life!" After saying that, Ma Chao kowtowed three times, Ma Chao was sincere, what he admired most in his previous life were the revolutionary martyrs, and he never changed this.

After Ma Chao kowtowed, he followed Lu Bu and them to kneel for a while, and then the four of them got on their horses and left the cemetery outside Yunzhong City, preparing to return to the Jiuyuan Valley. When he went back, he brought the head back, and Lu Bu said that the head of Tanshi Huai would definitely be of great use.

I wasn't in such a hurry to go back, so it took me nearly two days to get to the Jiuyuan Valley. As soon as they entered the valley, the four of them all felt that something was wrong, but it was too late to react. The mouth of the valley has long been blocked, and the hula is surrounded by layers of people, these people are not their people, but the state army, it seems that there can be several thousands, surrounding the four of them.

As soon as the four of Lu Bu picked up their weapons, they heard a voice outside, "Lu Fengxian, why don't you get off your horse and be bound quickly!" ”

Lu Bu was shocked when he heard this, Gao Shun and the others were not familiar with this voice, but he was very familiar with it, and the person who spoke was none other than Ding Jianyang, who was now the assassin of Bingzhou. Ding Yuan is here? It's bad, what can he do, it must have been a surprise attack on Danhan Mountain, and he found it here.

Lu Bu thought well, Ding Yuan came here because of this. On the first day of the ninth month, Lu Bu led the army to kill Xianbei Tanshi Huai in Danhan Mountain, and walked away with his head. On the fourth day, Bingzhou Assassin Shi Ding Yuan received the exact news, who did it, how many men and horses he led, he knew that the road was not bad at all, it can be seen that the Bingzhou army also had a detailed work in the Xianbei royal court of Danhan Mountain.

Think about it, the sophomore of high school has been mixed in, so maybe no one in the state army has mixed in. Ding Yuan was taken aback when he received the news, and he knew that Tanshi Huai was dead, because in early September, the Xianbei Royal Court of Danhan Mountain had already sent out the news, but they said that Tanshi Huai was sick and died, and Ding Yuan did not doubt it at all.

Previously, he had already sent out information that Tanshi Huai's health had been bad all these years, so Ding Yuan felt that it was normal for him to suddenly die of illness.

On the fifth day of September, he was very surprised when he received the exact news. There is a happy side and an angry side. The happy thing is that Tanshihuai did not die of illness, but let the Han army kill him, this can be a long face, that is the people in the state army killed him, before Tanshihuai killed so many soldiers and people in the state, this time finally revenged.

Although Ding Yuan is old, he still has a lot of enthusiasm, and after hearing about this, he is also enthusiastic. But there is also something that makes him angry, this Lu Bu Lu Fengxian is too bold, he recruits troops privately, and leads troops to attack Danhan Mountain privately, who gives him the right, this is a violation of military regulations, and he will lose his head.

He had seen Lu Bu a few times before, and to be honest, he Ding Yuan still admired Lu Bu, Lu Bu was strong in martial arts, brave in battle, and won the hearts of the military. But this incident sounded the alarm for Ding Yuan, Lu Bu didn't have greater rights, he dared to recruit troops privately, so when his official became bigger, would he be able to pay it back, maybe he wouldn't even take his own state assassin history in the future. No, this Lu Bu must be suppressed and suppressed so that he can understand.

Thinking of this, Ding Yuan ordered the whole army to look for Lu Bu, but after searching for several days, they finally discovered the Jiuyuan Valley. Ding Yuan transferred 10,000 elite soldiers and took over the Jiuyuan Valley, while the more than 300 people left by Lu Bu were all controlled. …,

When Lu Bu and the four of them went to the clouds, it didn't take long for Ding Yuan to arrive. These days, he's been keeping watch in the valley.

When Lu Bu heard that it was Ding Yuan's voice, he was even more surprised, he really didn't expect Ding Yuan to come to him so soon. Lu Bu had also thought before that there was no fire in the paper, and there was no impermeable wall, and that matter would be known to others sooner or later. So he brought back the head of the sandalwood locust, which can be regarded as an explanation in the future. I didn't expect it to be used so soon.

Lu Bu is not very afraid now, Ding Yuan knows a little bit about this person, Ding Yuan Ding Jianyang, this person is definitely a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, since he is a loyal minister, he has made such a great contribution, even if he has violated many military regulations, he can still make a meritorious achievement. What's more, Ding Yuan seems to appreciate himself more, so he shouldn't be easily harmed.

I have to say that Lu Bu is at a critical moment, and he also knows how to use his brain to analyze. Ding Yuan was indeed reluctant to kill him, and his guess was really correct. Lu Bu thought about it and got off the horse, the halberd was hung on the horse, and Gao Shun, Zhang Yang and Ma Chao could only dismount when they saw this momentum.

The soldiers who surrounded them restrained them, and just wanted to tie them up, but Ding Yuan said: "No need to tie them up, just escort them to my tent!" ”

"No!" After the soldier agreed, he escorted Lu Bu and the four into Ding Yuan's big tent. In addition to Ding Yuan in the middle, there are one person on the left and one on the right below.

After the soldiers escorted Lu Bu and the four into the big tent, Ding Yuan waved his hand to the soldiers, "You all go down!" ”

"No!" The soldiers were ordered to retire.

"Lu Fengxian, are you guilty?" Ding Yuan asked Lu Bu.

"Bu is not guilty!" Lu Bu put the first one, kicked Ding Yuan and said.

"Humph!" Ding Yuan snorted coldly, "Fake military orders to recruit troops, and surprise attacks on Danhan Mountain without permission, these are all capital crimes, and you dare to say that you are not guilty?" ”

"That's right, I did it all by myself, if you want to kill it, you have to listen to it!" At this time, Lu Bu was quite tough.

"Okay, someone will push Lu Bu out of the tent and behead him!" With Ding Yuan's order, two soldiers walked in from outside the tent, and prepared to escort Lu Bu to behead outside the tent.

"Fengxian, why are you doing this!" Gao Shun next to him spoke.

"Yes, Fengxian, if you want to die, everyone will die together, and the three of us will have a share in this matter!" This sentence was said by Zhang Yang.

However, Lu Bu didn't even look at the two of them, and stretched his neck and shouted to Ding Yuan: "Everything is done by me alone, if you want to kill quickly, don't hesitate!" ”

"Oh? You're still quite tough, and you want me to kill you, so I won't kill you, you all go down! Ding Yuan ordered the soldiers to withdraw from the tent.

"I know that you all have a share, don't worry, none of them can escape!" Ding Yuan said to the four of them.

"Ding Thorn History, I don't know if the merits of the military law violated can be compensated?" Lu Bu asked.

"What credit do you have for daring to say such a big thing?" Ding Yuan asked rhetorically.

"There is a merit in killing Tanshi Huai, and his head is now on my horse!" Lu Bu said proudly.

"Bring it on!" Ding Yuan ordered, and after a while, the soldier brought a wooden box.

Ding Yuan opened it and saw that it was indeed the head of the sandalwood locust, Ding Yuan had seen the sandalwood locust when he was young, so he recognized what the other party looked like. Sure enough, it's him, good you sandalwood acacia, you also have today, I and the countless soldiers who died in the state, hundreds of people, you can finally rest in peace. Ding Yuan thought about it, his eyes were moist, if it wasn't for Lu Bu violating military regulations, he really wanted to give Lu Bu a hug.

"It's Tanshi Huai's head is good, but how can you prove that he was killed by you, the Xianbei Royal Court of Danhan Mountain said that Tanshi Huai died of illness!" Ding Yuan asked, of course he knew what was going on in Lu Dao, but he still wanted to embarrass Lu Bu.

"Ha Lu Ha I, Lu Fengxian, led a thousand elite soldiers to attack Danhan Mountain and killed Tanshi Huai. Is it possible for the Xianbei royal court to admit this, a thousand Han troops killed their own leader under the noses of 150,000 elites, if you were the Xianbei royal court, would you admit it? Ding Tingshi, you better kill me quickly. It's a pity that I, Lu Fengxian, am going to die in the hands of your foolish assassin! Lu Bu looked generous and righteous, and Ding Yuan's eyes flashed with a gleam.

"Okay, Lu Bu, since you are going to die, the history of assassination will fulfill you! Someone came, pushed Lu Bu out of the tent, and beheaded the public! As soon as Ding Yuan gave the order, the person on the left below knelt down.

"Wait, although Lu Fengxian violated the military regulations first, he remembered that he had a great merit in killing Tanshi Huai, and the merits and demerits were compensated, so please keep people under the assassination knife!" This person said categorically, and the person on the right also knelt down when he saw this, "Please keep someone under the sword."

"This ......" Ding Yuan didn't want to kill Lu Bu in the first place, but now that his subordinates gave him the stairs again, he also came to push the boat, "Okay, today, for the sake of the two interceding, spare your life, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped." From today on, Lu Bu will be demoted to a commoner, and Gao Shun, Zhang Yang and Ma Chao will each be demoted two levels! ”

Gao Shun, Zhang Yang and Ma Chao all thanked him, only Lu Bu was a little dazed, and it was more uncomfortable to be reduced to a commoner than to kill him.

"Let's all go down!" Ding Yuan said, and the four of Lu Bu retreated.

They returned to their military tents and sorted out their things, and Lu Bu was demoted to a commoner, so he couldn't be in the barracks, of course, he had to pack up and leave. But looking at him like that, he is obviously unwilling. Gao Shun publicized and persuaded them, but in fact, they thought it would be good to be able to pick up a life.

At this moment, Ding Yuan walked in from outside the tent.
