Nanhua Old Immortal opened his mouth and said:

It was played by this female doll named Cai Yan. Not only is your kid blessed, but your luck is also amazing. This female doll turned out to be a rare body of Xuanshui in the world, and cultivating the 'Ruoshui Clear Heart Formula' will get twice the result with half the effort, so that you can wish you a breakthrough in your heart. ”

Diao Chan turned his head at this time,

"The old man is right. You were able to wake up this time, thanks to Sister Yan'er. She had been playing non-stop for five hours in a row, and a pair of jade hands were injured. ”

Lu Bu turned his head to look at Cai Yan who was lying down and falling asleep on the other side,

He can't sit up and observe now,

If you look at it like this, you can't see anything at all.

However, in the process of breaking through the demons,

The beautiful sound that always reverberates,

I can also think of how difficult it is to do,

I only felt a warm current flowing in my heart.

Turning his head, he suddenly saw Diao Chan beside him,

There is a thick tiredness between the eyebrows,

But when you look at yourself,

There was a hint of resentment and uneasiness in his eyes,

After thinking about it, I immediately understood the reason,

I think it must be because Cai Yan made such a contribution to himself,

And they didn't do anything,

I feel very lost at the moment,

Fear that you will be disappointed in them or even complain.

Weakly stretching out a hand,

Gently hold the soft wattle of the sable,

The soft and boneless little hand trembled slightly,

And then it softened in an instant,

Diao Chan secretly glanced at Nanhua Lao Xian and Zuo Ci next to him,

The face is crawling with a shy flush,

Struggling slightly to withdraw his hand,

Lu Bu held her little hand tightly and didn't let go.

Afraid that Lu Bu would pull the wound more painfully,

Diao Chan didn't dare to really struggle,

Besides, to be able to grasp the beloved man so domineeringly,

Diao Chan's heart is also very fond of it,

In the end, he had to blush and glared at Lu Bu with a little disgust.

"Cicada, you guys have worked hard."

Hearing Lu Bu's thoughtful words,

Diao Chan's eyes suddenly turned red with emotion,

The guilt in my heart is even greater,

The small hand that held Lu Bu's big hand couldn't help but tighten,

"We didn't do anything. It's all Yan'er and the old man, they ......."

Lu Bu pinched Diao Chan's small hand and said:

"Silly girl, don't talk nonsense."

After a pause, Lu Bu turned his head and looked at the Nanhua Old Immortal next to him:

"Immortal Chief, this time it's thanks to you. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to break through this demon. ”

Lu Bu had a palpitating look on his face,

When you are possessed by demons,

Although he lost consciousness,

But the memories of that time can be recalled clearly,

Naturally, he could understand,

Nanhua Old Immortals and the others have paid such a tragic price.

Naturally, he also knew why the tendons and hamstrings were broken now.

It's just that after that,

But he fell into a coma,

I don't know if I can recover,

Although he knew it was unlikely,

Still hopeful, he asked:

"Immortal Chief, I'm ...... Can I still recover? ”

Hearing Lu Bu's question,

Diao Chan and Zhang Ning also turned their heads,

looked at Nanhua Lao Xian with anticipation.

A smile appeared on the face of the old fairy of Nanhua,

He nodded and said:

"Don't worry, you can fully recover."

After Lu Bu finished asking that sentence,

Originally, I was mentally prepared that Nanhua Old Immortal would say a negative answer.

Therefore, after hearing the other party's answer,

I didn't react for a while,

Subconsciously said:

"Oh, okay. In this case, he shall be a man without a chicken......"

Lu Bu suddenly reacted,

Suddenly raised his head and looked at Nanhua Old Immortal,

"Immortal Chief, ...... you just said?"

"Let's recuperate tonight, you have just recovered, and the loss of vitality is too great, so you need to recuperate for two ......days."

After Nanhua Laoxian left this sentence,

With Zuo Ci, the two of them slowly left the bedroom,

Leave time to Lu Bu and his wife,

After Nanhua and Zuo Ci left,

Immediately there was a suppressed cry in the bedroom,

It went on for a long time.

Outside the window, the bright moon poked its head out of the dark clouds,

Silver moonlight spreads to every corner of the earth.

Thousands of miles away in Xiahe County, Longxi County,

Sixty thousand troops were stationed outside the city,

The tent stretches for miles,

In the dark night, against the backdrop of sporadic lights,

The boundless camp,

It's like a beast that chooses people and devours them,

Outside the tent of the Chinese army, which covers a very wide area, a large coffin is erected,

The above words are very clear in the moonlight,

In the middle, there is a dragon flying and the phoenix dancing Lu character,

On the left, Han Li writes four small characters for the protection of the Western Regions,

Seeing this pole of the Chinese army,

to be able to understand,

This force was the Western Regions Expeditionary Force led by Lu Zhi.

When spring begins,

This army was drawn from Chang'an,

After these days of trekking,

Now the troops have come to Longxi,

This side of Longxi is mainly dominated by Di people,

The folk customs are very strong,

And over the years,

With the ups and downs of the Han court,

The people became more and more arrogant,

This Longxi County has almost become a place for the people to graze horses.

Further west, you will enter Tongde,

After Tongdeke, it belongs to the territory of the Qiang people,

This Qiang tribe is not those Qiang tribes in the Han Dynasty that have been submissive or mixed.

but the most primitive and purest Qiang people,

Although when the Han Dynasty was strong,

Many of these tribes expressed their submission to the Han court,

But now, like the Di people,

The Han people have long ceased to be in their eyes.

After Ma Teng occupied Xiliang,

The situation has gotten a lot better.

But Jincheng was originally Han Sui's territory,

Longxi is close to Jincheng,

So I didn't buy it very much for Ma Teng.

Lu Zhi is still handling official business in the military tent at the moment,

The night here is very cold,

There was a brazier burning next to the bookcase,

It brought a little warmth to Lu Zhi.

Suddenly, the lamps in the room flickered,

A thin figure hurried into the tent,

"Dadu Hu, haven't rested yet?"

Lu Zhi raised his head,

After a long time of looking at official documents,

makes the eyes a little sour,

After a long time, I saw the appearance of the person who came,

"Wen You is here, warm up first."

Li Ru walked a few steps quickly when he heard this,

Come to the brazier, stretch out your hands and lean in front of the warm brazier,

A warmth spread all over the body along the hands,

Twisted a few times comfortably,

Then he spoke:

"Dadu Hu, why haven't you rested so late at night?"

Lu Zhi stretched and said:

"You still said that when I went out to inspect just now, weren't you also busy everywhere?"

Li Ru smiled,

The scar on the face slowly squirms,

It makes people look a little scary.

Regarding the origin of the scar on Li Ru's face,

Lu Zhi already knew,

looked at Li Ru,

A strange emotion flowed in his eyes,

Lu Zhi sighed inwardly,

He thinks it's better to be open and honest about some things.

Stretched out his hand and motioned for Li Ru to sit down next to him.

After clearing his throat, Lu Zhi got straight to the point:

"I don't like you, and I even say that I have something to do with you."

Li Ru was stunned when he heard this,

He didn't expect Lu Zhi to say so directly,

But after thinking about it, I was also relieved,

Lu Zhi has always been known for his frankness and uprightness,

Before being called here by Lu Zhi tonight,

Li Ru had a premonition,

Lu Zhi called him over because he wanted to have a heart-to-heart with him.

After all, now he is serving Lu Bu's account at the same time,

and also went on an expedition to the Western Regions together,

When they were in Chang'an, the two of them for various reasons,

I have never been able to talk about it from the bottom of my heart,

Now that we are about to enter the war zone,

As the two most powerful people in this expeditionary force,

If you don't give each other a bottom line,

It is very bad for war,

Lu Zhi opened so bluntly,

It's also very much in line with his character.

Nodding, Li Ru agreed,

Then he looked at Lu Zhidao seriously:

"Don't hide it, most of them are protected. Although Wen You is bold and reckless, he is always in awe of Dadu Protection. Respect the loyalty of the capital, fear the festival of the capital! ”

If this sentence is said by another person,

Or listen to it with another person,

The taste will change, it was originally an ordinary sentence,

Because of the identities and status of the parties,

I'm afraid it will add a lot of color to this passage,

It becomes a flattering remark.

But now in this tent,

It was Li Ru who spoke,

looked directly at Lu Zhi, without the slightest evasion,

It was Lu Zhi who was obedient,

Looking back at Li Ru, there was no fluctuation in his eyes.

Nodding, Lu Zhi spoke:

"The old man is very pleased to be praised by the first students."

After a pause, his voice changed:

"Now, you and I are working under the Wenhou tent together, and I can't fully trust you, and I don't dare to say anything about it."

"I understand it very well. Wen You didn't dare to expect to be forgiven by Mr. And isn't it the best thing for the lord, for you, and for me? ”

Li Ru and Lu Zhi are both extremely smart people,

And both of them have been floating in the sea for a long time,

These words spoken by Li Ru,

Lu Zhi didn't understand.

Conquest requires an army from top to bottom with one heart and one mind, and the German side can defeat the enemy.

But for the princes of one side,

It's also a dilemma.

If the army really becomes a monolith,

It is very easy to threaten the rule of princes and even monarchs,

If this is the case,

Isn't there an embarrassing situation of a country within a country?

So when the power expands to a certain position,

All monarchs are very distressed about such things,

A lot of times, a lot of things can't really be done personally,

But if it is not a man,

Then the consequences will be very serious.

What Li Ru said was about this matter,

It is precisely because of the relationship between Lu Zhi and Li Ru that

They can't really be intimate,

Two people due to previous grievances,

and differences in political views between them,

As a result, these two people cannot be completely of one heart and one mind,

The same makes this army,

Naturally, there will be no one-word situation.

The other two are very measured,

Although they can't be close to each other as a family,

Not even friends,

But both of them were very clear about their goals,

So under the same goal,

Both of them will do their best to accomplish the goals set by Lu Bu.

That's why Li Ru said such a thing,

With such a configuration,

It is a good thing for Li Ru, Lu Zhi and Lu Bu.

Lu Zhi nodded and said:

"It is precisely for this reason that the lord asked me to be the chief general of this Western Expeditionary Army. Okay, let's not talk nonsense, what does Wen You have in mind about this expedition to the Western Regions. ”

Hearing Lu Zhi ask the question,

Li Ru smiled slightly,

For the expedition to the Western Regions, he had already done research for a long time.

Stood up and walked to the topographic map that was unfolded on the side,

Li Ru pointed to their location and said:

"Now the location of our army is Xiahe County, adjacent to Tongde, these two places are the mixed places dominated by Qiang and Di, if our army uses this as a breakthrough point, there are advantages and disadvantages."

Lu Zhi raised his eyebrows,

He asked:

"What are the pros and cons?"

Li Ru carried it with one hand and stroked his beard with the other:

"Although Longxi is the West Liangzhong County, but the land is vast and sparsely populated, once when Dong Taishi was there, because this place is where he made his fortune, so he vigorously renovated and developed this place. Longxi also had glory, but after the death of Dong Taishi, Han Sui occupied Jincheng County, in order to develop Jincheng County, a large number of Han people in Longxi were moved to Jincheng, which greatly reduced the number of Han people in Longxi, resulting in a situation where the foreign forces here could not be lost. ”

Lu Zhi listened carefully to Li Ru's analysis,

Especially when I heard him talk about Dong Zhuo,

The eyebrows were slightly raised,

But he didn't say anything.

He nodded silently as he listened.

Li Ru went on to say:

Later, although the lord sent General Ma Teng to recover the entire territory of Xiliang, Longxi was always in the hands of the Di people. The Di people are treacherous, and when the Han army is strong, they will surrender, and if the Han people are in decline, they will immediately show their fangs. ”

Lu Zhi also opened his mouth to agree:

"If it is not of my race, its heart will be different!"

Therefore, this is the first drawback. This place is entrenched by the Di people, and if we go on an expedition to the Western Regions, it will be too dangerous to use it as a base. ”

"So what's the second drawback?"

Li Ru gently rubbed his beard,

Then he said:

"Longxi County has now experienced several years of turmoil, the fields are barren, and this is a bitter cold place, there is not too much baggage to afford the army to go on the expedition, so if this is the starting point, the backup supply is the second drawback."
