After she finished her words of thanks, she felt very embarrassed and added with a proud face. "But I don't need your help. She can't run far! At this distance, I can shoot this little girl down without a bow and arrow." As if to prove his strength, Lu Bu retracted his longbow, picked up a stone from the ground, twisted his ankles and waist, swung his arms, mobilized all the muscles in his body, and smashed it hard into Dugu Yan's face! The sharp sound of the stone breaking through the air was horrifying, and accompanied by a loud bang, the man and horse were knocked unconscious, with blood all over his face, and fell to the ground in the wheat field with a "thump". She actually casually threw the stones on the roadside with the momentum of a catapult! However, as Dugu Yan fell to the ground, Lu Bu swayed twice and lost his balance, falling heavily to the ground. Liu Zhuang rushed forward in a hurry and found her holding her left leg, grimacing in pain, with cold sweat on her temples. "Are you okay? What happened to you?" "That damned priest took control of my white horse and broke my left leg!" Lu Bu snuggled in Liu Zhuang's arms, barely straightened her back, hugged her twisted and deformed left leg, and spoke with difficulty, beads of sweat the size of soybeans densely covering her bloodstained cheeks. Liu Zhuang moved his eyes downwards. Even through her robe, he could see the broken and dislocated bones of her calf, swaying slightly in her flesh and blood. Her black robe was also soaked with blood. The scene was extremely bloody and creepy - she had just used this bad leg to support herself and stand up to finish the final battle. "Help me get on the horse. There are military doctors in the army. I just need to ride back."
Lu Bu said this while enduring the severe pain. "No! Your injury will be worse if you ride a horse and bump around. The fracture must be fixed immediately." While recalling the first aid knowledge, Liu Zhuang looked around, tore off some clothes from the corpse of a horse and pulled them into long strips, then found two wooden sticks and used the last one to lift up Lu Bu's skirt armor. “You you you you…what are you doing?!” Lu Bu was shocked and ashamed. His right hand suddenly reached between his legs and pressed down his fluttering clothes. Liu Zhuang blinked in confusion, not knowing why she was so excited, but his hands continued to move upwards, pulling up her black armor skirt over her knees, revealing a pair of black stockings tightly wrapped around her two slender and round legs, outlining a series of sexy and perfect curves. Two black garters extended all the way up along her plump thighs, and the jet-black cloth complemented the snow-white flesh, and finally disappeared under the clothes that Lu Bu was trying hard to hold down. Liu Zhuang suddenly realized that what she was wearing was called "ku", which can be understood as garters fixed on the waist, one of the few warm lower body clothing in the Han Dynasty - yes, there was no such thing as underwear in the Han Dynasty, and under her long gown and skirt, there was a fucking vacuum crotch. At this moment, Lu Bu's unruly and beautiful face was as red as the sunset clouds, her face temperature was rising steadily, her body was stiff at first, and then began to tremble slightly, he could even hear the sound of her crazy and accelerated heartbeat, her eyes were erratic and confused, and her left hand unconsciously reached for the long spear beside her - Liu Zhuang sucked in a breath of cold air and pretended nothing had happened, performing field first aid as quickly as possible. He first placed two branches on the inside and outside of the calf, padded the protruding bones with clothes, and then used the cloth strips he had just torn off to fix the two ends of the fracture and the joints, completing the initial bandage. During the whole process, he touched Lu Bu's well-trained calf with both hands. He didn't know what material the tights were made of, but they felt very good to the touch, but the sound of her rubbing her hands and her teeth chattering in his ears was a little too scary. "Okay, I'll help you up so that the broken bones don't get any worse. We'll remove them and treat them when we get back to the military." Liu Zhuang stood up with a serious face, pretending that he saw nothing, and slowly helped Lu Bu up. Only then did her face, which had been blushing to the extreme, gradually cool down. Lu Bu moved tentatively twice and found that the calf bone that had deviated from its normal position did not shake further. After getting worse, it slowly returned to normal. Using the halberd as a crutch, he moved step by step to the Centaur Shaman. When she walked in front of Liu Zhuang and made sure that the other party could not see her face, Lu Bu's expression management was completely out of control. Panic, shyness, anger, countless expressions wandered on her face like a revolving lantern. However, in order to appear normal, her hands were not idle. She took out a rope from her backpack and tied up the unconscious Centaur Shaman like a puppet. She took out two steel shackles tailored for the characteristics of horse hooves and trapped her rouge-colored slender hooves, so that she could only swing them slightly but could not run. Then, Lu Bu tied the two snow-white arms behind her snow-white body, and finally took out a black cloth to cover her beautiful eyes. He then stuffed her warm mouth with a cloth ball, and finally found a noose to strangle her slender neck. It was not too tight, nor too loose, and the other end of the rope was tied to the base of her scarlet ponytail, forcing her body to always remain in a backward posture, with her chest and two delicate breasts raised high. If she leaned forward a little bit, her neck would be strangled, making it difficult for her to breathe, and she would completely lose the ability to escape. The whole process was done in one go and was extremely skillful. "The entanglement technique you used just now... that is the magic of the Centaur Shaman. How did you do it?" After finishing his work, Lu Bu took several deep breaths to make sure that his expression had returned to normal. Then he turned around and asked Liu Zhuang how he had seized the other party's divine power. After confirming the authenticity of the records in the book, Liu Zhuang chose to tell the truth - only Lu Bu knew the source of the book. “I understood the hidden meaning of the bamboo slips, and followed the method recorded on it to try to plunder and absorb the opponent’s magic. However, the bamboo slips were incomplete, and only recorded part of the abilities of the [Profane Priest], and the rest was silent.
I have heard of the profession of "Profane Priest" before. Theoretically, he is like a shaman or druid, and can cast divine spells at will - except that the divine spells of a normal shaman are obtained by praying to the gods, while the Profane Priest steals and plunders directly from the gods. However, your bamboo slip is incomplete and badly damaged. If I want to cast a spell, I have to get close to other spellcasters first, and then I can snatch it. If I don't get close, I can't cast a spell at all. Where did you get this bamboo slip? Maybe that place has a complete record of the blasphemous priests." "My hometown, Wuyuan County - a poor family in Jiuyuan County. That kid moved back to Yanmen with me..." Lu Bu also realized the problem. The person who sold him this book did not deceive him, but he did not sell him the whole book! "I can understand what he wrote. If we can find the full text, I can learn all the abilities of the [Profane Priest]. After I learn it, I will definitely teach you all the abilities of this profession. Together we can become [Profane Priests] and become noble spellcasters - but you have to find some equipment that increases perception, such as Taoist amulets or something." Liu Zhuang made a vow. Lu Bu's IQ was basically too high to deceive others, so there was no reason for her to deceive herself. In this ghost world, the fastest way for her to get in touch with magic was to be this [Profane Priest]. "Okay, it's a deal." Lu Bu also clapped his hands with Liu Zhuang in surprise and swore an oath. After their skins touched again, her face became a little redder. After so many years, she finally had the opportunity to touch the unattainable and terrifying threshold of the spellcaster! This kid is not only an innate scout, but can even read scrolls. This kind of person must be kept by her side. "After the escort mission is over, I will go find that kid. I will be responsible for solving the book problem, and you will teach me how to practice." Looking at the excited Lu Bu, Liu Zhuang asked the question that he had always wanted to ask since he came here, but no one could answer it. "My village is indeed isolated from information. What year is it now? What is the situation in Bingzhou? Why are there so many Hu people in Dingxiang County? Are you still escorting people to Yanmen?" "Today is October 10th, the sixth year of Guanghe. What happened to Bingzhou? What else could it be? Your Majesty has no money to pay the soldiers." When Lu Bu talked about this, the joy on his face disappeared instantly, and he became extremely melancholy and pessimistic. "Now the entire Bingzhou Army is shrinking, using criminals from all over the country, conscripted laborers, and foreign Hu people, these cheap or even free coolies to supplement the troops of each battalion. Even so, the size of the Bingzhou Army is shrinking significantly. It can no longer maintain the long northern defense line, and it can't solve the problem of lack of money. I have owed military pay for several months." "Thinking back to the days when Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were such heroes, they conquered the Wolf's Lair and expanded the Han territory to Yunzhong and Shuofang. Now the frontier has shrunk back to Yanmen." Liu Zhuang took a deep breath. Guanghehe was one of the reign titles of Emperor Ling of Han. If it was six years... This year is October 183, 10, and next year is 10. The Yellow Turban Rebellion should have broken out in February! Four months left? He actually traveled to the most turbulent era, and it was in Bingzhou? ! What a hellish start. Bingzhou had nine counties under its jurisdiction. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, seven counties fell into the hands of the Xianbei and Xiongnu. Two counties were invaded by the Yellow Turban Rebellion. The entire Bingzhou in Shanxi was reduced to ruins. After losing Shuofang, the Han Dynasty lost Dingxiang, and after losing Dingxiang, it lost Yanmen, and finally Taiyuan. The entire Bingzhou was lost. Even when Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan entered Bingzhou later, he was able to barely recover two counties, Taiyuan and Shangdang, that were affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion. He did not do anything about the other seven counties that fell into the hands of the Hu people. He dared to call himself the Governor of Bingzhou after he recovered two-ninths of Bingzhou. After Cao Cao unified the north, he retook Yanmen and Xihe counties and restored four-ninths of Bingzhou. The remaining five counties remained in a state of destruction. They would return to the unified empire again... during the Sui and Tang dynasties. It can be said that Bingzhou was a death rehearsal for the Five Barbarians’ Invasion of China more than a hundred years later.
Chapter 7: The Dragon Among Men After complaining for a while, Lu Bu dragged the knocked out Dugu Yan to look for his other troops. Tuoba Yun completed the task very well, and launched a night raid with a dozen riders, disarming and capturing all the people of the tribe, without any casualties on his side. At this moment, the noise of the battle was so loud that it woke up all the Han people in the village. People carefully opened the windows, pushed open the doors, and carefully observed the situation outside. They saw one group of people tying up another group of people. They thought it was a tribal fight among the Xianbei people for territory, and they were so scared that they didn't dare to breathe. It was not until they saw those soldiers reporting the results of the battle to a Han female general that they realized that these soldiers wearing black iron armor were the Han army. For a moment, the whole village was in an uproar. Several old men opened their doors with tears of gratitude, and presented food and drink to welcome the returning royal army to liberate their land. People rushed out of their homes cheering, surrounding the twenty-one riders led by Lu Bu. "It's not all our credit. You should thank the people in your own village." Being surrounded and admired by the crowd, Lu Bu squinted his eyes in enjoyment, but he did not enjoy the glory alone. He introduced Liu Zhuang at the right time.
"Look, it's him. If it weren't for Liu Zhuang, my brothers and I wouldn't even know there was a fallen village here. He brought us all the way here and just shot and killed two horses! He's such a rare scout and warrior!" The people's excited and admiring gazes shifted from Lu Bu to Liu Zhuang. "Ah, it's you! I knew you were tall and strong, and you must be someone extraordinary!" "Thank you. I will take back the wine that was stolen by the soldiers right now! I am the best winemaker in this village! Come on, let's not stop drinking tonight!" Liu Zhuang looked at the people surrounding him and felt flattered. After he traveled through time, he was abducted by Dugu Yan and brought to this village as a slave to till the fields. He was not very familiar with the local people and had never been able to fully integrate into the group. Although other villagers were very considerate and taught him how to farm and how to survive, and helped him through the most difficult time after his travel through time, they were also worried that he was a spy placed among the slaves by the Centaur, and did not treat them completely honestly. It was not until today that Liu Zhuang felt that he had completely integrated into their group. "Okay, I'll thank you later. There's no time left. Hurry up and pack your things and follow us! The Bingzhou Army doesn't have enough troops to protect Dingxiang County. It's very dangerous here. If these troops are defeated, other small-scale nomadic tribes will come and take away your most important things. I will protect you all the way back to the safe Yanmen County." Lu Bu waved his hand, wanting to take the two hundred villagers away, but he only saw astonishment and confusion on people's faces. "We have just started harvesting this year's wheat. If we leave, won't the wheat rot in the fields?" "No, this is not just about wheat. You want us to abandon all our property and go with you?" "Ah? Isn't the king's army here to recover the lost territory?" Amidst the surprise and confusion, an old man raised his right arm tremblingly and spoke with tears in his eyes. "Three generations of our family are buried on this land. You want us to move away now? No! I would rather die at the hands of the barbarians than leave!!!" Lu Bu frowned. She had seen villagers with such tough attitudes before, so she had to persuade them patiently. "The governor of Yanmen has promised that he will give you enough land for farming, houses, cattle and sheep in Yanmen, and you can live a good life in Yanmen. Besides, Dingxiang County is no longer protected by the Han army. It is too dangerous here. You have finally gained your freedom. If you don’t leave now, another group of Hu people will come at any time and take away everything you have. They will capture you as slaves again, or even worse. " The crowd was somewhat shaken, and the choice was between abandoning their family businesses and becoming slaves of the Hu people...either choice would be wrong, and either choice would have problems. "Bullshit! That bastard official said the same thing a few years ago!" Suddenly, a discordant voice was heard in the crowd, and a middle-aged farmer was shaking with anger. "I am from Shuofang County. Several years ago, when you gave up Shuofang County, you also said that you would give me the same land in Dingxiang County. What happened? The long migration drained all my money, and my wife and daughter all died on the way! Only one in ten people who arrived in Dingxiang survived! The land you gave me was less than a quarter of what I cultivated in Shuofang County! I will never migrate again! Please give me a spear, sir. I would rather fight to the death with those barbarians for my hometown!" Lu Bu was speechless for a moment. He was just a small captain in the army, acting according to military orders. He did not understand the land distribution operations of local county magistrates. When he was about to argue, three green-skinned orcs wearing double-crotch armor came from afar on fast horses. "Boss! Boss!!! The military officer noticed that you have not returned from your patrol for a long time, and the refugee riding the Xianbei horse is nowhere to be seen. They wondered if you disobeyed orders again and came here to rescue people! That idiot is now jumping up and down in the army and scolding you! He said he would beat you with a military stick to establish your prestige in the army! "Get back to the team! Don't let that bastard catch you and punish you with military law!" Lu Bu was so angry about Wang Shi from Taiyuan that his teeth itched. He came here to save people, but these people were unwilling to go with him. Leaving them here would be like sending them to death. But the military officer forced him not to stay here for long... "Well, I'll go with you." Liu Zhuang saw Lu Bu's dilemma and stood between the Han army and the villagers. "I will go to Yanmen County to see if the local governor and county magistrate can fulfill their promise and give us the land and materials we deserve for migration. If it is true, then we can leave. If it is false, then you will not lose anything by staying here. How do you think?"
Several villagers thought about it. Although they were unwilling to give up all their property and move to Yanmen, they had been enslaved enough by the horses and men in recent days. No one could bear the harassment and looting by the Hu people... After weighing the pros and cons, the group of people reluctantly nodded in agreement and decided to wait and see. Lu Bu also ordered Tuoba Yun to leave all the weapons of these men and horses to the villagers. Although there were only more than 20 weapons, it gave them some sense of security and the ability to protect themselves. The cattle and sheep raised by the Xianbei people themselves, and not a single grain of the looted food, were taken, and left to the locals. As for the other treasures of this centaur clan, they were all happily divided up by the twenty riders. The more than sixty Xianbei horses they raised were important strategic materials, and they were all taken away, ready to be sold and the money shared among everyone - who would be willing to do a job that would cost them their heads if it didn't make money? "Don't worry, Liu Zhuang. Although you are not my scout yet, you brought us here, completed all the reconnaissance work by yourself, and killed two horses. Everyone is watching. When we sell these more than 60 Xianbei horses and valuable spoils, we will give you a share according to the military law of the Han Dynasty. We will not treat you unfairly." Lu Bu was overjoyed as he looked at the plundered spoils and patted Liu Zhuang on the shoulder, but his brain was racing. The Han army was making so much money from fighting, and if he got a share of the money and benefits, maybe he would be willing to be my scout? However, she forgot that a few minutes ago, she was still complaining to Liu Zhuang that the court had no money, was frantically cutting Han troops, and was replacing them with cheaper mercenaries from other ethnic groups, and even using bandits as soldiers. She had not received her military pay for several months. Liu Zhuang was also very happy. As a fighter, he received the reward promised by Lu Bu. As a local villager, he selected several weapons for protection. His double pupils could even be woven into specific attributes on these weapons. 【步兵长矛】：长330厘米，1~12点物理伤害。暴击率5%，暴击伤害300% 【环首刀】：长80厘米，1~8点物理伤害。暴击率10%，暴击伤害200% Liu Zhuang looked at these golden data streams in amazement. This thing is not only in simplified Chinese, it even has modern distance translation. The 1 to 8 points of damage are the basic values of melee weapons. Once he gets it in his hands, he will get his own strength correction. For example, if your strength is 16,10, 2 is the standard attribute value, which is neither good nor bad. For every 1 points higher in strength, there will be a 16-point correction. If your strength is 16, the strength correction is 10 minus 2, minus the 3, which is . 1~8的物理伤害，也因此会全部+3，提升为4~11点物理伤害。 In addition to two melee weapons, Liu Zhuang also took a bow as a long-range weapon. It was not that he did not want to use a crossbow: If a battle breaks out, I can lend you this thing temporarily, but you are a civilian, and you usually carry a crossbow? How many heads do you have to chop off? Liu Zhuang selected carefully, and Lu Bu also helped to test the pulling force of these bows. Finally, a heavy bow with a pulling force of one stone and one jin was chosen, which was just suitable for Liu Zhuang's strength. Converted into modern units, one stone is 60 jin and one jin is 15 jin. To pull this bow, the arm needs a strength of 75 jin, which is 81 pounds, which is already very impressive. 【长弓】：一石一钧之力（75斤），4~11点物理伤害。（需求16力量）暴击率5%，暴击伤害300% The damage of this longbow is directly calculated by adding the strength correction into the bow. The power is fixed. After all, people without 16 points of strength cannot even pull the bowstring of this heavy bow. For someone with greater strength, even if they pull the bow harder, the bow's pulling force limit will be just that, and its power will not continue to increase. Liu Zhuang excitedly stroked his trophy and glanced at Lu Bu's bow, wondering how powerful he was. 【长弓】：三石之力（180斤），12~22点物理伤害。（需求30力量）暴击率5%，暴击伤害300% What the hell? She used such a powerful thing before, and she was able to shoot at such an incredible speed? The minimum power of this thing to shoot arrows is more exaggerated than the maximum power of my longbow! What a big man superman. "Well... it's just right for you to use a bow on the battlefield. Not bad, it's average for the Han army." Lu Bu assessed Liu Zhuang's strength, and then threw two bows at him. One was very light, with a force of only two jin, or 30 jin. The damage was also worse, with only 2 to 9 points of physical damage. The other one had a pulling force of two stones, and it seemed that he could not pull it open now. "You can use this lighter bow to practice shooting skills, speed, and accuracy, and use this two-stone bow to practice bow drawing, muscles, and strength. Then use this longbow weighing more than one stone to kill the enemy on the battlefield. I'm serious. Be a scout for me. You have an absurdly high shooting accuracy and decent strength. You can use a heavy bow weighing one stone and one jin. You don't need a slow crossbow. With a little training, you can become a very good cavalry general, just like me! Going to Yanmen County to work as a farmer? It's a waste of talent." Lu Bu's eyes were twinkling with little stars as he looked at Liu Zhuang as if he was looking at a rare treasure. Liu Zhuang, who knew that this was Bingzhou at the end of the Han Dynasty and that the Yellow Turban Rebellion would break out in four months, was a little shaken at this moment. As for the Bingzhou army being swallowed up by Dong Zhuo in the future... why think so far ahead? He was at the border of Bingzhou, where the Han Empire was most seriously collapsed, and it was unknown whether he could live to see Dong Zhuo enter Luoyang. "Well, how about this? Let's go to Yanmen County first, relocate my folks, and settle them down, and then go to the barracks to find you, okay?" "A word is settled!" Lü Bu smiled and shook hands with Liu Zhuang to swear an oath. Afterwards, the group galloped and drove the captives out of this unknown village and returned to the camp. Liu Zhuang carried a longbow with feather arrows, a ring-headed sword on his waist, and held an infantry spear. His tall body, riding an even taller Xianbei horse, had four pupils in his eyes, emitting a terrifying halo. He could not be said to be very conspicuous among the refugees, but he could be said to stand out from the crowd. Many refugees looked at Liu Zhuang's equipment with surprise.
Who are you, man? The Han army camp is over there. Why are you, a light cavalryman who has just shown his talent, sleeping with us refugees? Liu Zhuang ignored the refugees around him. He used his pupils to observe the negotiation between Lu Bu and the military commander, worried that something might happen to them. However, he was obviously worrying too much. These Hu soldiers in the Beidi camp respected Lu Bu very much and hated the airborne general. All the soldiers lied that "we met a group of troops on the way, a small-scale battle broke out, and even the entire army was captured, and sixty horses were seized" to confront the general head-on, which made the descendants of Taiyuan Wang family very angry, but they could not do anything to Lu Bu. Damn it, we captured so many Xianbei people, seized so many war horses and supplies, and made such a great contribution, and you still want to beat our boss with a military stick? ? ? Chapter 8: The Dilemma Is Solved
