The sound of shouting sounded like thunder in his ears. Yan Xing's expression changed and he quickly raised his sword to meet him.

Red Rabbit's horse was fast, and he was already approaching when he spoke. Fang Tian's painted halberd was like thunder, and with an aura that seemed to split the world, it turned into a series of slashes and fell down.

Yan Xing's sword was halfway raised, but he felt stars flashing before his eyes. With a flick of his hand, only half of the sword was left. Pi Lian fell to the ground. The world in Yan Xing's eyes began to split and then become dislocated, and finally returned to darkness.

The prestige that Yan Xing had accumulated among the Longxi Qiang people in the past half month was all achieved by Lu Bu at this moment. The Qiang soldiers who gathered around saw Yan Xing's body split open and slipped off the horse's back. The horse's skull was also smashed, and the surrounding Qiang soldiers People were frightened, but Lu Bu didn't stop for a moment. After killing Yan Xing with a halberd, Fang Tian used his halberd to fight in all directions at night, sweeping out and killing three of the Qiang soldiers around him who had no time to dodge!

The Qiang soldiers who finally reacted instantly became confused. Some were angry with Lu Bu and killed people, while others wanted to escape because Yan Xing died in the battle. However, Lu Bu had already killed more than a dozen people in a row and took advantage of the opponent's chaos to break through the formation.

The sound of galloping horse hooves sounded again, and Wang Ling came over with seven hundred knights. First, he shot the already chaotic Qiang people into even more chaos with a shot of riding fire, and then followed with a rush to kill. They were just a mess, and now they have lost their leader. Although the generals had many people, they were no match for them. They were beaten to pieces in just one round and fled in all directions.

"I am Lu Bu, the general who conquered the west. Yan Xing gathered the Qiang people to cause chaos and disrupt the city. He deserves death. Now that the chief culprit has been executed, why don't you dismount and accept the surrender!" Lu Bu pointed at Yan Xing's corpse, looked at the Qiang people and shouted .

After killing the Qiang people, Lu Bu did not pursue them. He came back and found Yan Xing's body. Lu Bu had Yan Xing's head cut off. Although it was split in the middle, he could still recognize it by sewing it up. Give it to Han Sui. The Battle of Jincheng is over. Ma Teng is the only one left, so it will be much easier to deal with.

"Pack up and prepare to return to Jincheng. When you return this time, you can directly settle in Jincheng." Lu Bu looked at Yan Xing's head that had been put up and said to Wang Ling.

"Lord, can you..." Wang Ling looked at Lu Bu, a little shy.

"Go, there is one more thing. Go and ask who was guarding the city before. If possible, I would like to meet." Lu Bu nodded. Now that he is at the door of his house, it is unreasonable not to let him go back. Moreover, Lu Bu had no idea about the previous leader of the organization. The Yang people and the people guarding the city were also very curious.

There were many Qiang corpses around Shouyang. It was obvious that the war had not just started. He remembered that there were no defenders in Shouyang City.

"Here!" Wang Ling nodded, then smiled and said: "My lord, why don't you come with me? My lord is the great benefactor who saved this Shouyang."

"That's fine." Lu Bu looked around. Anyway, once Yan Xing died, even if the matter here was settled, staying here for one night would not delay the military plane. Moreover, along the way, he ate and lived with the soldiers. It's been a long time since I've eaten meat. This can be regarded as indirectly saving a city. Even if the enemy doesn't have to work, they can still eat some meat as a sacrifice.

The magistrate of Shouyang County was relieved when he saw Wang Ling. Seeing that the thief was about to be killed with a halberd, the Qiang soldiers were also killed and fled in all directions. No one was left. When Lu Bu came outside the city under the guidance of Wang Ling, he had already Bring people out to greet you.

"Thanks to Marquis Pingtao's timely arrival, otherwise all the people in the city would have been slaughtered by the thief. I would like to thank Marquis Pingtao on behalf of the people in the city." The county magistrate came to Lu Bu and made a gesture of bowing down.

"You are a rough man. You are not used to these false courtesy. Don't be too polite." Even so, Lu Bu didn't stop him. He accepted the other party's courtesy generously. He could still bear this courtesy and came to the city gate. , turned over and dismounted and said: "It's getting late, we're going to spend the night repairing here."

"It should be, but in this small town of Shouyang, I'm afraid there is no room to entertain these soldiers." The county magistrate's face turned bitter when he heard this. Just two meals for these people would be a lot.

"Just send some food, they will be stationed outside the city." Lu Bu summoned four military princes in the army and asked them to camp and rest outside the city. He was invited to visit the Wang family.

"Easy to say, easy to say." Thinking of getting this food, the look of bitterness on the county magistrate's face became more intense. Shouyang built a city in the mountains, and there wasn't much arable land around it. The entire city only had a thousand households, and it was not enough for 700 people to eat and drink twice. decimal.

Lu Bu didn't care about that much. After arranging for the soldiers to camp, he went straight to Wang's house to rest at Wang Ling's invitation.

"My lord, this is my sister-in-law." Wang Ling led Wang Yi to Lu Bu.

"Yes, she is quite heroic, but she is different from ordinary women." Lu Bu nodded politely and looked at Wang Ling with some confusion. Why should he introduce the women at home?

"Didn't the Lord just ask the general to find the people who defend the city?" Wang Ling said with some pride.

"Well, although the enemy army is just a mob, I think that Yan Xing is quite capable. He must be a hero if he can defend this low city wall with a group of common people." Lu Bu said with enthusiasm.

I thought it would be the county magistrate, but I had already rejected this idea when I met the county magistrate. The county magistrate did not have any heroic spirit in him, he was only submissive, and did not look like someone who could turn the tide in adversity, even though he was the youngest among the group of people. The older one, but age most often just means living longer than others.

"General, you are so complimentary." Wang Yi saluted Lu Bu.

Lu Bu didn't react at first, but then he came to his senses and looked at Wang Yi and then Wang Ling in surprise.

"It's my sister-in-law!" Wang Ling nodded firmly: "My sister-in-law has read a lot of books since she was a child, and she has also dabbled in the art of war."

"Oh?" Lu Bu casually asked a few questions, such as how to set up camp and what to consider first when facing an enemy. These questions may seem basic, but judging from Lu Bu's experience over the years, most generals cannot answer them. , including myself a year ago, it was not specifically recorded in a certain book on the art of war. Without a certain level of understanding of the art of war, most generals could be asked this seemingly basic question.

But what surprised Lu Bu was that Wang Yi was able to answer questions fluently. In addition, when he faced Lu Bu for the first time, he was not affected by Lu Bu's aura. Although this thing may sound illusory, it does exist, especially since Lu Bu has a lot of experience and has a strong personality. The aura that was inadvertently revealed was extremely strong. When most people faced Lu Bu for the first time, they would be like the county magistrate before, stumbling and unable to speak fully. However, this woman was calm and composed when facing Lu Bu. , it’s really rare.

"Women are not allowed to be inferior to men!" Lu Bu looked at the woman and praised him. The origin of this sentence could not be found for a while. It should have come from the simulated world, but when applied to the woman in front of him, Lu Bu felt that it was very suitable.

"General, you are very complimentary." Wang Yi was also slightly surprised at Lu Bu's evaluation. These words did not sound like they were spoken by a rough and reckless man.

"My lord doesn't know, although my sister-in-law is born as a girl, because Shouyang is in the Qiang land and is often harassed by Qiang people, my sister-in-law admires a hero like my lord the most in her heart." Wang Ling asked Wang Yi to sit on Lu Bu's table. In terms of location, Xiliang is somewhat similar to Bingzhou, especially the places close to the Hu area. The habits are somewhat closer to the Qiang and Hu people.

The Wang family's family background is similar to that of Lu Bu's family. They belong to a poor family, even worse than Lu Bu's. At least Lu Bu's father and grandfather were once generals, and the court had a salary. However, in the Wang family, only his grandfather has served as a county magistrate, and his father's generation has served as a county magistrate. There is no official career anymore. If Wang Ling's generation cannot become an official, the next generation may not even be considered a poor family. This is why Wang Ling works harder than others.

"Hero~" Lu Bu held the wine glass, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, with a bit of sarcasm.

Wang Yi looked at Lu Bu in surprise: "The general seems to disdain the title of hero?"

"That's not true. It's just that in today's world, who deserves to be called a hero?" Lu Bu shook his head.

"Generals don't count?" Wang Yi asked curiously.

"My hands have been stained with countless innocent blood, and I have harmed others for my own selfish interests. How can I be considered a hero?" Lu Bu shook his head. He never considered himself a hero, and he never wanted to be one.

However, Lu Bu's statement surprised Wang Yi: "Then what does the general consider a hero?"

"Those who know that they cannot do something but do it and are willing to give up their own selfish interests for all living beings can be heroes." Lu Bu thought of some people and said in confusion.

The Wang brothers and sisters looked at each other in confusion. This is not a hero. Is this a sage? Are hero standards so high now? According to this standard, there are really no heroes in the world today.

"But with what the general said, there may be no heroes in this world." Wang Yi shook his head.

"Why not? I don't know how many soldiers there are in Bingzhou. In order to protect the people in their hometown from being slaughtered by the barbarians, they defended Guancheng with their lives. They may not have much background, but they are heroes enough." Lu Bu raised his wine glass and took a sip. And done.

Looking at Lu Bu's look with a hint of reminiscence amidst the vicissitudes of life, it was a fatal temptation for a girl who worshiped heroes.

"But in the eyes of a little girl, the general is a hero." Wang Yi raised his wine glass and saluted Lu Bu from afar.

Lu Bu looked at Wang Yi in surprise. How could he, who had actually lived for nearly two hundred years, not see the adoration and admiration in the girl's eyes? When the girl saw his gaze, although she was a little shy, she still came forward without fear.

"Little sister, why are you talking nonsense?" Wang Ling's heart tightened as he looked at her. He interrupted the gaze between the two of them, then saluted Lu Bu and said, "My lord, my sister-in-law is shameless. I hope you will forgive me."

Lu Bu nodded silently and withdrew his gaze. In this life... no, in three lifetimes, this was the first time that a woman dared to look at him like this without the slightest fear. This was undoubtedly a blessing for Lu Bu. A novel experience.

Wang Yi was driven back by Wang Ling, and Lu Bu didn't stop him. This kind of thing is not something he can see right. He has three lifetimes of age in his heart. Although he is novel about this feeling, he is not eager. Such a woman, if If she wants to be a concubine, Lu Bu will naturally not refuse and will treat her kindly, but if she doesn't want to, he can understand. After all, even if the Wang family is in decline, it is understandable that they don't want to be a concubine...

------Digression-----

This plot is to pave the way for Lu Bu to build a team and compete for power with the Guanzhong gentry in the future, as well as the source of talents, etc. It is really not a plot. If these things are not explained clearly, everyone will be confused by the time, such as why these people are doing this. Appearing under Lu Bu's command, and why he is willing to accept Lu Bu as his master? Everyone thinks that the water may be a problem with the beard's ability.
