To the east of Yanzhou, there is a stream in the territory of Rencheng.

The rippling blue surface of the river sparkles under the reflection of the sun, and the riverside is covered with verdant grass, which is full of life as far as the eye can see, and people can't help but feel a burst of refreshment in their chests.

On the riverside, there are many famous anglers, most of whom are old fishers on weekdays, but today there are many strange anglers, most of whom are young and strong men. Because of the hot weather, they held the fishing rod bare-armed, and looked at the float floating on the water, but whenever the float sank, they had to pull the rod and pull it twice to see if any fish were hooked.

With such an unfamiliar action, the veterans shook their heads again and again, and eighty percent of them were novices who had not yet started.

After more than half an hour passed, a sturdy young man couldn't help it, threw the fishing rod to the ground, and complained: "Just sit like this, how can any fish be hooked!" ”

The rod was thrown heavily on the ground, and the rod head hit the surface of the water, making a soft 'boom' sound, causing a circle of ripples.

Seeing this situation, the middle-aged man sitting not far away frowned slightly, calmed his voice, and called out with a slight reproach: "Barbarian." ”

The boy heard his father's reprimand, snorted angrily, and sat down again.

When the Confucian and young man next to him saw it, he said to his younger brother with kind words: "Brother, don't be angry, if you want the fish to take the bait, you have to be patient." If you pull the rod so impatiently, it will only scare the fish away, as long as you are patient, there will always be fish hooked......"

Lu Xiao stretched his neck and looked at his brother's fish basket, he had already caught five or six fish!

At this time, a blue-striped carp of about two or three catties swam past the shallow water. Seeing this, Lu Xiao grabbed a harpoon from the side with some resentment, and after only one glance, he threw the fork out violently.

Poof!

After a crisp sound of hitting the water, the sharp harpoon penetrated the fish's belly accurately, Lu Xiao lifted the harpoon, looked at the big fish that was pierced through the body, and compared it to his brother with a show off, and smiled: "Brother, look at me, is it bigger than yours!" ”

Before Lu Zhen could speak, his father, who was not far away, accentuated his tone again.

"Barbarian!"

Hearing this shout, Lu Xiao pursed his lips, although he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, he honestly hung the bait on the hook and threw it into the lake, and did not forget to whisper to the brother next to him: "I don't know what my father thinks, if you want to eat fish, you can just use a fishing net to catch it, and it's better to use a harpoon!" Why do you have to waste your time and waste! ”

Speaking of fishing, it was a pastime that Lu Bu learned from his son-in-law Guo Jia when he was bored some time ago.

Before learning how to fish, Lu Bu thought that this would be an extremely boring thing, but in less than half a day, he found that his previous remarks were simply a slap in the face.

Fishing is a lot of fun!

Especially when you pull the rod and see the fish take the bait, the joy is beyond words.

Fishing is different from playing chess, playing chess pays attention to a broad vision, the two sides fight each other's wits, and the small chessboard hides a lot of military art formations, because of the existence of victory and defeat, and people unconsciously produce a competitive mentality.

Fishing, on the other hand, pays attention to self-cultivation and calmness, sitting on the quiet waterside, and even the anger in the chest has faded a lot.

Therefore, in his spare time, Lu Bu also brought his son, Chen Wei and others to this lake to fish and nourish his heart.

At present, the situation in various places is tense, and the flames of war have broken out in many places, the people have fled, and the army is attacking. However, Rencheng, where Lu Bu is located, as a frontal battlefield bordering Xuzhou, is the quietest.

Looking at the enemy, Gongsun Zhan, who came from Qingzhou, plus the soldiers and horses of Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and then joined the thief soldiers collected before Liu Wei, with a total strength of more than 200,000.

This is not a small number, and Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Gongsun Zhan are all old fritters who began to fight the world more than ten years ago, and they have experienced countless battles on the battlefield, and there are many fierce generals under their command who can fight well.

The most important thing is that at present, the army of Liu Wei and others is stationed in the area of Dongyang City, the southernmost part of the Taishan Army, where the terrain is mostly mountainous, suitable for infantry combat, and has great restrictions on cavalry charge.

In terms of total strength, Lu Bu may not be as good as them, but compared to the number of cavalry under his command, even if these great princes combined, they are far inferior to the cavalry under Lu Bu.

The two states of Merge and Liang under Lü Bu's jurisdiction are both good places for horses, plus the countries of the Western Regions are also paying tribute to the imperial court every year, as well as the mutual trade of Hu City, so that Lü Bu has formed tens of thousands of iron horsemen.

Originally, Youzhou was also a good place to produce horses, but since Gongsun Zhan took over, almost the war continued, either with the Wuhuan people, or with Yuan Shao in the southern Jizhou, the loss was serious, so that the population loss in Youzhou was serious, and it was extremely unstable.

After Liu Wei arrived in Dongyang City, he did not continue to march to Yanzhou, but chose to divide his troops and garrison them and guard the main roads everywhere. He was waiting for Yuan Shao and the others to hunt together, and the prey was Lu Bu, the most ferocious beast in the world!

According to Chen Gong's suggestion, Lu Bu sent Zang Ba to guard the county seat of Taishan County, monitor the movements of the enemy army, and report to Lu Bu at any time. At the same time, he also assigned 5,000 soldiers and horses to Xu Huang, asking him to camp in Fengxian to prevent Cao Cao from attacking Yanzhou from Pengcheng.

Lü Bu commanded the army and sat in Rencheng.

Time passed day by day, and the two sides seemed to have reached a tacit consensus, since they did not have the intention of fighting a decisive battle immediately, they simply consumed each other like this first, to see who could not hold it first.

It's not interesting to make a small fight, if you want to fight, let's have a big battle that is happy and a game to determine the winner or loser.

This is also the voice of the two sides to each other.

The float sank downward.

Lu Bu, who was staring at the lake, shrank his pupils suddenly, and lightly lifted the fishing rod in his right hand, feeling the struggle coming from the water, Lu Bu couldn't help but slightly pick the corners of his mouth, slipped in the water for a while, and when the fish ran out of strength, he pulled the fishing rod and fished it up effortlessly.

"Fengxiao, it seems that my luck today seems to be good."

Lu Bu smiled, took the crucian carp weighing about half a catty from the hook, and put it into the fish basket.

"Luck, I can't say."

Guo Jia glanced at his fish basket, although it was empty, he was not envious, anyway, as long as there was soup to drink at night, it was still good.

However, before he could sit down until noon, a scout in civilian clothes hurried from the direction of Rencheng, lowered his voice, and reported for a long time in front of Lu Bu.

Lu Bu, who was in a good mood, gradually looked solemn, and finally put down the fishing rod, and his tone was a little gloomy: "It seems that today's fish can't be caught." ”
