After the Hangu Pass, it is the jurisdiction of Hongnong County in Guanzhong.

Lu Bu inspected along the way, the local people are miserable, this year suffered from a severe drought, locust plague, there is no grain harvest, relying on digging wild vegetables and grass roots to survive, life is extremely difficult. And what about the imperial court? At this juncture, not only did they not reduce the burden and provide relief, but they also intensified the collection of taxes, resulting in a large number of people selling their land and being displaced.

If this continues, the people will be forced to death by the imperial court before they starve to death!

It's really hateful!

The oncoming wind is like a heat wave.

Summers are hot and insects chirp.

Especially when I saw the people who were starving on the way, the irritability became more and more irritable.

Therefore, Lu Bu executed nearly 100 county officials and gentry along the way, and confiscated all their family property to help the local people.

Shaking off his sweat-soaked clothes, Lu Bu unscrewed the water bladder and poured two sips, and asked the young man who was leading the horse and carrying the halberd in front: "Wen Ji, where are we here?" ”

"Lord, we just came out of Hongnong, and we should have entered Zuo Fengyi's territory." The young man who was privately called the 'Halberd General' turned around and grinned, not forgetting to wipe the sweat on his forehead with his hands, obviously also very hot.

After Zuo Feng Yi is Jing Zhao Yin, Jing Zhao Yin's governance is Chang'an.

Lu Bu nodded slightly, don't look at Zuo Feng Yi and Jing Zhaoyin, according to their marching speed, they still have to walk for ten days and a half months.

When he was younger, Lu Bu must have left the team and galloped back home one by one. But now that he has become the commander of the three armed forces, many things can no longer be done with his heart as before.

"There is a green forest ahead, give me an order, go over and rest for half an hour, straighten out your spirits, and then hurry." Lu Bu ordered to go down on horseback, and the march on a hot day was really a kind of torment, and sometimes it was even more exhausting than fighting on the battlefield.

When the order was conveyed, the soldiers with dry mouths suddenly lifted their spirits, and even the heavy steps under their feet couldn't help but feel much lighter.

The forest is large and lush.

The cicadas chirp in the branches, still annoying.

Fortunately, the trees in the forest were dense enough to shield from the scorching and scorching sun, and occasionally the slightest ray of light fell to the ground through the gaps between the branches, mottled shadows, but it was not so hot.

Lu Bu rode ahead, looked around left and right, and after making sure that there was no danger, he made a gesture to stop the march, signaling that the soldiers could find a place to rest.

Guo Jia let go of the reins, he didn't rush to get off the horse, first took out the wine gourd, gave himself a taste of alcohol, and then poured it into his mouth when he raised his head.

As he leaned back on his horse, a flash of light flashed at the oblique corner of the woods, and his eyes flickered.

In an instant, Guo Jia's mind flashed with lightning, he didn't hesitate, stretched out his hand and pushed Lu Bu's shoulder, and suddenly shouted in his mouth: "Get out of the way!" ”

As soon as the words were finished, a burst of feathered arrows rang out.

Shout! Shout! Shout!

Shout! Shout! Shout!

Lu Bu, who was pushed off his horse, rolled on the ground for two weeks, grabbed the halberd rod inserted into the ground, got up and drew his halberd, and blocked the arrows that came from the shot.

"Assassins, there are assassins!"

The soldiers who had recovered their senses roared loudly, and rushed towards Lu Bu with their shields, trying to protect the safety of the lord.

Judging from the density of arrows, these assassins were obviously coming at Lu Bu.

With a large number of shield guards, those feathered arrows gradually became a threat.

"Gongming, you take someone to seal the entire forest, and you can't let anyone go."

"Li Feng, Xue Lan, you two immediately bring someone to take these bastard things for me, all of them are taken down!"

When everyone was in a panic, only Zhang Liao calmly commanded.

It only took half an hour for this deliberate assassination to be put down.

More than a dozen assassins were captured alive in front of Lu Bu and forcibly knelt on the ground by the soldiers behind him.

Of course, the number of people involved in this assassination was far more than that, and the others were all killed on the spot because of their lack of cooperation.

Lu Bu sat under the tree, spread his legs out, his elbows on his thighs, his face could not be seen to be cloudy and angry, as if he was just chatting about trivial things, and asked, "Who sent you?" ”

None of the dozen or so assassins kneeling in a row squeaked.

"It seems that someone doesn't want me to return to Chang'an alive." Lu Bu slammed his mouth, his tone a little sarcastic.

Who could it be?

Lu Bu thought about it, and then a touch of disdain appeared at the corner of his mouth, he made a lot of enemies in the court, and most officials were afraid of him like a tiger, don't look at them on the surface respectful, who knows if there is a belly of bad water hidden in his heart?

But knowing how to intercept and kill on the way is a bit of a brain.

Lu Bu looked up at the lush forest, and the sunlight was a little dazzling. His hearing senses had always been keen, but today, the chirping of the summer cicadas on the branches obscured the sound of the assassins' movements, so he was slow to discover the murderous motives hidden in the woods.

"Hold these people in good custody, and don't let them die easily until the answer is known."

Lu Bu patted his butt and got up, gave a brief explanation to Zhang Liao, and then went elsewhere.

These guys dare to assassinate, it is estimated that ninety percent of them are dead soldiers privately raised by large families, but since they are all alive, there will always be a way to pry their mouths open.

"Ouch!"

Before he got closer, Lu Bu had already heard Guo Jiana's pig-like scream.

In order to remind Guo Jia, when he went to push Lu Bu, his body leaned forward, so that he was hit by a stray arrow in his buttocks, and the accompanying doctor in the army was dressing him at this time.

"Where did that energy go just now, look at the way you are now, how can you have a little manly spirit!" Lu Bu walked over and scolded in a low voice.

When a man is alive, when he stands up to the sky, how can he have a little injury, he will wail and cry out to the sky.

Guo Jia saw that Lu Bu not only did not have the slightest comfort, but also reprimanded loudly, and retorted protestingly: "You white-eyed wolf, I was just an arrow to save you, I knew that I should have let you die, you conscienceless guy!" ”

"In my life, I have fought countless battles, and all the rivers and rivers have come over, how can I capsize in this gutter."

Lu Bu said this, he was actually very grateful to Guo Jia in his heart, if it wasn't for Guo Jia's timely reminder, he might really die here, "One thing I'm curious about, these assassins have hidden my ears and eyes, why were they discovered by you?" ”

Guo Jia rolled his eyes, he just accidentally discovered it.

"Then how are you sure that it's not sunlight that hits your eyes?" Lu Bu was puzzled by this.

This question is particularly simple for Guo Jia.

He told Lu Bu that from the perspective of light exposure, he could judge the position of the sun, and the sunlight should be in the north of the west, not in the south.

Since it is not sunlight, it can reflect the dazzling inch, and nine times out of ten, it is the cluster head of arrows.

After hearing this, Lu Bu looked up, and it was as Guo Jia said.

On his side, it is true that he cannot see the direct light.
