Chapter 573: A Glimmer of Heaven

The Western Regions Expeditionary Force has just returned,

The main general Lu Zhi was sent elsewhere,

Although Lu Bu transferred a military advisor to the right to sacrifice wine,

But this man is ugly,

and immature,

If it weren't for the deterrence of Li Ru and Xu Cheng,

I'm afraid that the Western Regions Expeditionary Force will be in a mood of complaining,

However, these proud soldiers,

Although he reluctantly accepted the right sacrificial wine of this military advisor,

But in the bottom of my heart,

It is inevitable that this person will not be recognized.

For this case,

Not only Li Ru and Xu Rong,

Even Pang Tong himself knows it,

However, Li Ru and Xu Rong,

is to take a look at the details of this young man,

Naturally, they have no other thoughts,

It's also very clear,

Lu Bu chose this man to come,

is to cultivate this person, so the two of them did not come forward too much,

Wanted to see the young man's means.

As for Pang Tong himself,

He believes in the supremacy of strength,

Before showing strength,

Talking too much pretty about it,

There is no practical effect at all,

Especially in front of this group of martial artists who lick blood from the knife edge,

No matter how much you say, you can never compare,

Lead them to a few beautiful victories.

Two days ago, news came,

The vanguard of the Kushan Empire's army had reached thirty miles away

The tension of the great war has begun to permeate,

Pang Tong today, it is with a few relatives,

Personally here,

On one side of this mountain is a steep cliff,

On the opposite side is another steep mountain wall,

Between the two mountains, only horses can pass at the same time.

This region has a name - a glimmer of sky,

It is said that when passing through the passage of these two mountains,

Raise your head and look up at the sky,

I can only see a glimmer of wonders,

Due to other topography here,

The mountain wind in the canyon is unusually strong,

It also makes the bare mountains on both sides of the mountain wall almost non-existent.

Where Pang Tong is,

It's above this line of heaven,

That is, above the cliff,

It's very high here,

If it weren't for Pang Tong being forced to exercise by his uncle since he was a child,

It is simply difficult to climb such a mountain.

The wind at the top of the mountain is slightly gentler,

But it also blows so that people can't open their eyes,

The entourage behind him looked at him nervously,

Not far in front of him is the cliff,

I'm afraid that he will fall like this if he has an unstable foothold,

Once you fall from here,

That's the result of a broken bone,

And in his capacity,

It's definitely not something that the latter few relatives can afford.

Fortunately, Pang Tong continued to wait for a few breaths,

And he turned,

"Let's go."

Hearing Pang Tong's order,

Those relatives couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief,

Not having to accompany this young man here to blow the wind is secondary,

The main thing is that

The army of the Kushan Empire is at hand,

Maybe sometime a spy will come here,

Just their little men,

It's not enough for the other party to stuff their teeth.

Pang Tongyi Road went down the mountain,

All the way to think about countermeasures,

The terrain of this line of heaven is very dangerous,

Great for ambushes,

But also because the terrain is so good,

Fools also know that this kind of place is not accessible at all,

Unless you are sure of everything.

This place is in the territory of the country of Pishan,

This Pishan country is in the whole Western Regions,

One of the few very barren countries,

Although the territory is vast,

But the vast majority of the area is high and mountainous,

sparsely populated and uninhabitable,

Therefore, no one has to compete with this weak and vast Pishan country for territory.

This line of heaven is located in the southwest of Pishan country,

It is a major thoroughfare from east to west,

Although it is not the only way to go,

But if the other party wants to change to another route,

It is necessary to detour at least nearly 100 miles.

That's why Pang Tong chose to set up an ambush here.

But after seeing the terrain of the sky,

He faltered a little,

The Kushan Empire sent 300,000 troops this time,

Its strength and determination are unquestionable,

A general who can command this army,

Naturally, it will not be mediocre,

Such a dangerous terrain,

It's not easy to trick someone into taking the bait.

But if you give up here,

It's a pity,

Second, it is a day to the east,

It's an open plain,

The 300,000 troops of the Kushan Empire will be able to fully spread out,

All the armies around me now,

and less than 100,000 people,

Once the number of people reaches the level of 100,000,

superiority in the number of troops,

will be greatly highlighted,

Unless by some clever scheme,

Otherwise, delusional in a head-to-head showdown,

Less is more, that situation is too little and too little,

So few that almost no one believes in this possibility.

Such a huge gap in numbers,

If you want to win,

can only use all kinds of tricks,

This is also the significance of Lu Bu sending him to serve as the commander-in-chief of this campaign.

During the whole journey down the mountain,

Pang Tongyi didn't say a word,

I was thinking about countermeasures in my mind.

The capital of Pishan Kingdom,

Nestled in a valley,

It is said to be the capital, but in fact,

It's a big town,

The surrounding city walls,

It's just decorations,

In the king's house in the city,

It's just a yard that is several times larger than the surrounding houses.

Although the country of Pishan is barren,

But from the king to the people they were all like one family,

There are no particularly strict hierarchical rules between each other,

This is in many small countries in the Western Regions,

It's not unusual,

However, in the eyes of the Central Plains,

It's just unbelievable.

Fortunately, the people of the Western Regions Expeditionary Force,

Most of them are used to this state,

On the contrary, I will feel that

Such a state will be closer and more harmonious.

At this moment, Li Ru and Xu Rong,

And he sat on the ground in the king's court,

A fire in front of you,

On it is warm a pot of milk wine unique to the Western Regions,

This kind of milk wine is not as strong as the northern grasslands,

It tastes even sweeter,

The milky flavor is even stronger,

At this moment, there is a sweet milk fragrance mixed with the intoxicating aroma of wine,

Floating out of the small iron flask,

There was a small plate of beef in front of each of them,

It's not the kind of freshly roasted beef,

Once the freshly roasted beef is cold, the taste will be much worse.

This is a unique practice of their Pishan people,

The taste is very delicious,

This beef is also one of the specialties of Pishan country.

Unforgettable,

Li Ru gently picked up a slice of beef,

Put it in your mouth and taste it,

Wait until the beef is completely chewed and swallowed,

Take another sip of milk wine,

That taste, not to mention how enjoyable it is.

Li Ru is still so thin,

But now his skin is much darker,

It's also a lot rougher,

It doesn't look as weak as it used to be, 16

Those eyes were still shining.

"Wenyou, why aren't you worried at all?"

Xu Rong is not as easy as Li Ru,

Somewhat worriedly drank a glass of wine,

Today's Xu Rong looks even older,

A long career of fighting everywhere,

left a deep mark on his face,

It's just that the soldier with that face is upright,

There is still no change.

Li Ru squinted his eyes and seemed to be still savoring the fragrance between his mouths,

Said to Xu Rong very easily:

"Lao Xu, have you ever worried about your son?"

After Xu Rong heard Li Ru's rhetorical question,

couldn't help but be stunned,

Some didn't understand why he suddenly mentioned his son,

Speaking of which, I haven't seen my son in years,

Just some correspondence through the dark group,

Learn about the recent situation of him and the Dong brothers,

I heard that these three boys,

It's all good now,

The three of them are now well-established in the army.

There was no waste of Phileb's cultivation of them,

Lu Bu didn't break his promise,

The cultivation of the three little ones,

That's a lot of effort,

Now famous,

Xu Shu Xu Yuanzhi, who is extremely famous in the entire Central Plains,

Before becoming famous,

It was the mentor of the three of them.

Speaking of which,

Xu Rong was full of gratitude to Lu Bu.

Listening to Li Ru's question,

I can't help but think of my son again,

Although I haven't seen each other for a few years,

But after all, the son is his own flesh and blood,

Now that achievements have been made,

He is Lao Tzu,

than he has won more than a dozen big battles,

And it's going to be very comfortable.

Remember not long ago,

Xu Cheng said in a letter,

The three of them are now on the battlefield in Xuzhou,

is engaged in the final decisive battle with Liu Bei,

According to the time estimate,

Thinking that Anqiu City should have been captured,

It seems that his son has made another meritorious service,

Thinking of this, Xu Rong's mouth was almost grinning behind his ears.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's there to worry about, my son is in a tight situation now, what is there to worry about!"

The previous contemplation on his face was swept away,

Xu Rong twisted two large pieces of beef and threw them into his mouth,

At the same time, he raised his head and poured a large sip of wine into it,

The happy appearance and the judgment are like two people.

"Hahaha, Wen Hou takes good care of Cheng'er, so that the three of them have today's achievements, naturally there is no need to worry."

Li Ru took over the conversation and continued.

Xu Rong was stunned,

vaguely understood what Li Ru meant,

"You fox, you've always only talked around the bend."

"Don't worry, Lao Xu, Wen Hou's eyes, after we have experienced so much, don't you still believe it? And I've been observing this young man for a long time......"

After a pause, Li Ru looked to the side playfully,

Beyond the gate of the courtyard,

Pang Tong's figure just appeared there,

A dusty appearance,

But the face was full of joy.

"What do you say, it looks like this little guy has figured it out."

Li Ru raised the wine glass in his hand,

gestured towards Pang Tong, who was walking quickly to this side,

Raise your voice and speak:

"The right sacrificial wine is full of spring breeze, it seems that there is a happy event coming!"

"Hahaha, the joke that Wen Xiansheng has always wanted to see before, now it seems that he is going to be disappointed!"

Pang Tong walked over quickly,

A butt sat down with two people directly,

Can't wait to pick up a small pot of wine that has been warmed next to it,

drank it clean in one gulp,

then snatched the beef in front of Li Ru,

Eat clean in the wind,

Li Ru was not angry,

Instead, he handed over the plate of beef in front of Xu Rong.

Li Ru and Xu Cheng,

is not a person who pays attention to etiquette,

This Pang Tong is even more maverick and habitual,

Therefore, the three of them,

On the contrary, they are very comfortable getting along.

After eating and drinking,

Pang Tong slapped this belly with satisfaction,

Pleasantly burped,

Lying on all fours on the ground,

Only then did he finally exhale slowly.

"How? Thinking of a good way to retreat from the enemy? ”

Li Ru squinted at Pang Tong,

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth,

Pang Tong, this kid,

It's a little ugly,

But very much on his temper,

He has no children of his own,

Previously, he regarded Dong Ye and the three of them as his own children,

But then the two sides have been separated,

Even though I care very much,

But I can only think about it in my heart.

Not long ago, this little guy named Pang Tong came out,

At first, I didn't like this kid,

But then get along,

Let Li Ru change his opinion of him greatly,

He is a little younger than Dong Ye and them,

Now I see it as my own generation of children and nephews,

Therefore, the love in my heart is a little more.

"A silver lining!"

Pang Tong still maintained that comfortable posture,

The voice came softly,

A glimmer of heaven in this place,

Li Ru and Xu Rong both know each other very well,

It is precisely because of a good understanding that

So when Pang Tong said this place name,

The two of them had different looks.

A glimmer of heaven in this place,

It is very famous in Pishan country,

The mountain range where the first ray of heaven is,

It's called Pishan in itself,

This is how Pishan Country got its name.

It is also an important safety guarantee for Pishan's survival.

Xu Rong frowned tightly,

He spoke with some confusion:

"That line of sky is indeed a good choice of terrain, but because of this, I am afraid that the enemy army will not be fooled at all, and it is even very likely that they will go to another way. Right sacrificial wine, you went out all day today, and you thought of this plan? ”

Speaking of the later times,

Xu Rong was already a little unhappy,

Such a shallow trap,

Anyone with a little common sense can see through it,

Not to mention letting the other party fall into the net,

If this is the Pangtong,

Just came up with the strategy of laying traps on the first line,

That's a disappointment.

Pang Tong turned his face and looked at Xu Rong,

made a grimace at the old general,

Xu Rong was extremely angry when he saw this,

Just as I was about to open my mouth to reprimand two sentences,

But when I saw Pang Tong's whole body,

The clothes are torn out of the ground,

and the broken position,

on bare skin,

And some scabbed wounds,

It should have been an injury that I had just gone out to inspect the terrain.

This kid is not only a man of letters,

And the age is much younger than Xu Cheng,

Thinking of this, Xu Rong's gaze turned to the side,

After thinking about it, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Li Ru has been looking at Xu Rong's expression seriously,

Seeing the other person turn their head to the side,

There was a trace of distress in his eyes,

He couldn't help but laugh,

This Xu Rong is good at everything,

It's just that sometimes I like to be stuffy,

Especially when you obviously care about each other,

I can't say it,

But Li Ru also knows that

What are the words that Xu Rong wanted to say just now,

He smiled and said:

"Lord Right Sacrifice Wine, General Xu actually wants to say, your old man has been out for so long a day, is it difficult to come up with a plan that such a small child can think of?"

Xu Rong heard Li Ru say what was in his heart,

And there is no focus on tone and voice,

couldn't help but glared at the old fox fiercely,

Snorted softly,

But there was no objection,

Obviously, this is also what he is saying.
