Although this suggestion was put forward in a hurry, it is not unreasonable, the southwest mountains of Xiangyang have long been designated as a military forbidden area, ordinary people are strictly forbidden to enter, in addition to military training centers and recruit training camps, many production bases of the research institute are also located there, therefore, many strong fortifications have been built in the southwest mountains, which can easily block the attack of the army, and even if they can't resist, they can also escape with the help of familiarity with the surrounding environment.

Ma Yun almost didn't think about it at all, waved his hand, and decisively rejected the suggestion, and said: "No, Xiangyang is the foundation of the master, there must be no loss, if our family escapes, who is willing to defend this Xiangyang city to the death, I must live and die with the people of Xiangyang." ”

Fu Zhu continued to persuade: "Madam, this is really too dangerous, Lu Bu is invincible in the world, if Madame has any mistakes, what faces do your subordinates have to see the lord again, please Madame think twice." ”

A figure suddenly flashed outside the door, and said loudly: "Who dares to call the world invincible, is it more powerful than my elder brother, hmph, I want to meet him." ”

The man was dressed in red, and it looked more like a flame against the background of the candlelight, it was Zhu Rong, the descendant of the god of fire.

Ma Yun was calm on the surface, but she was extremely anxious in her heart, and said angrily after listening to Zhu Rong's words: "Don't mess around, if you have three long and two short, I will give you what to give to your brother, go back to your room, this is a place for deliberations, you are not allowed to come in casually." ”

Zhu Rongtian's surname is active, these days in the state pastoral mansion, she is not willing to stay in the yard honestly, always wandering around, and Bian Yu and Cai Yan are all familiar with them, but no one told her that except for Ma Yun in the study, other women are not allowed to enter, after being reprimanded by Ma Yun, Zhu Rong felt a little aggrieved, pouted, turned around and walked out of the study door, only walked a few steps, remembered what Ma Yun said just now, it was obvious that she had accepted her, and suddenly became happy again, turned around and walked back,

Ma Yun looked at her back, and realized that what she said just now seemed to be a little heavy, and she was about to stop Zhu Rong and comfort her.

But seeing that Zhu Rong didn't take a few steps, he turned his head and returned to the door, raised one foot and wanted to enter the study, hanging in the air, probably remembering Ma Yun's warning, he quickly shrank back, and naughtily stuck out his tongue at Ma Yun and said: "Sister, I have eaten white rice in the house for so long, and now the enemies are coming to the door, I must make some efforts, I don't have other skills, I haven't been afraid of anyone in the fight, I also made a good flying knife, sister, you let me teach them a lesson." ”

Ma Yun was surprised: "You can also use flying knives." ”

Zhu Rong said proudly: "That's what Brother taught me, I've been practicing hard for three years, and I'm definitely going to hit every shot, and my sisters can also do martial arts, so they can go into battle with me to kill the enemy." ”

Ma Yun muttered: "Okay, you go back and prepare first, tomorrow I will test your martial arts, if you can say it, I have an important task to you." ”

After sending Zhu Rong away, Ma Yun continued to say to Fu Zhu: "Mr. Gonghe, do you know these Xiliang soldiers, they burn, kill and loot, do all kinds of evil, once they are allowed to enter the city, it will be a monstrous disaster for the people in the city, Xiangyang City can have today's situation is really hard-won, we must not let Lu Bu's cavalry rush into the city, otherwise, we will become sinners through the ages." ”

Seeing that Ma Yun had made up his mind, he no longer persuaded him, but said: "If Madam insists on staying, please leave more guards around her, just in case, prepare a fast horse outside the West Gate, and be ready to evacuate at any time." ”

Ma Yun waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's discuss how to deal with Lu Bu, how many soldiers and horses we have in our hands now." ”

Frustrated, he said: "There are only 5,000 flying tigers in Xiangyang City, and Cai Taishou also has 5,000 local troops under him, but they are embarrassed to be of great use, and Xiangyang City is too big, so it is inevitable to take care of one or the other." ”

Ma Yun frowned, thought for a while, and then said: "Lu Bu's men and horses are only more than 10,000 people, it is impossible for them to besiege the city, the Flying Tiger guards are the elite of our army, and they can all be ten, if they are short-handed, they are not afraid of Lu Bu's army, I mean to take the initiative to attack and resist the enemy outside the moat." ”

He hesitated: "There are no guards around the officials' mansions and ladies, and these Flying Tiger guards must not all be transferred out of the city." ”

Ma Yun stood up, walked back and forth in the study for a few steps, and suddenly said: "Didn't you recruit a group of recruits at the end of last year, pull them all up, and train them with battle." ”

This batch of recruits has a total of 50,000 people, which is not a small force, but it has only been trained for more than half a year, far from reaching the standards stipulated by Liu Xin, and the equipment used is eliminated from the five major legions, and the combat effectiveness is far from the five major legions, but now it is in an extraordinary period, and Ma Yun has no choice but to count them.

The order was issued overnight, before dawn, 50,000 recruits under the leadership of Yan Yan have been assembled in the northern suburbs of Xiangyang City, although the clothes and armor and weapons of these recruits are very shabby, but they are all in good spirits, and the strong fighting spirit revealed is no less than those flying tiger guards beside them, although Fu Yu repeatedly proposed to leave the flying tiger guards to guard the safety of the state pastoral mansion and the surrounding mansions, Ma Yun still insisted on sending out 3,000 people to gather outside the city, because she understood that Lu Bu was not so easy to deal with,

20,000 of the 50,000 recruits were transferred to the city, taking over the city defense from Cai Mao's local army, and the local army was sent to maintain order in various parts of the city, in order to prevent sudden turmoil in the city when Lu Bu attacked the city, Fu Zhu also sent out the phantom spies who could be mobilized by his subordinates, and the entire Xiangyang City was peaceful and calm on the surface, but secretly it was already like a great enemy, and the remaining 30,000 recruits were sent to the north of the moat, where they wanted to build an improvised position to defend against cavalry,

Although the research institute has developed many weapons that can allow infantry to deal with cavalry, most of them have been transported to the front line of Sanguan, and the few remaining have been distributed to the third and fourth army corps. Some of the pits were also temporarily camouflaged, which was the improvised position envisioned by Ma Yun.

After arranging all this, Ma Yun hurriedly returned to the state pastor's mansion, although she said categorically in front of the frustrated teacher, but she couldn't help but be on guard, she also had to let the women and children in the family prepare, in case they were really rushed into the city by Lu Bu's cavalry, they had to let these women and children go to the western suburbs to hide,

As soon as I entered the mansion, I saw that Zhu Rong had changed into a fiery red armor, holding a sharp shuttle dart in his hand, and five short knives were inserted behind his back.

Seeing Ma Yun coming back, Zhu Rongxing rushed forward and said, "Sister, you said that you were going to test my martial arts today, and I will dance a shuttle dart for you now." ”

Ma Yun waved his hand and said: "I don't understand that thing either, where is your flying knife, show me with your hand, I'll know a little bit about that." ”

Zhu Rong agreed, took out a short knife from his back and handed it to Ma Yun and said, "Sister, this is my flying knife." ”

Ma Yun took a closer look, this flying knife was very similar in appearance to the flying knives that Liu Xin defended himself, that is, the size was several times larger, and he couldn't help but take out a handful from his waist and compare it, and said casually: "The style is almost the same." ”

Zhu Rong's eyes were sharp, and he had already seen that the flying knife in Ma Yun's hand was Liu Xin's usual use, and hurriedly said: "Sister, my flying knife is made according to your style, but Brother said that women are small, and the weight of the knife needs to be increased in order to cause damage to the enemy." ”

"Oh." Ma Yun asked, "This flying knife was taught by Liu Xin to be built by you, and the technique of using the flying knife was also taught by him." ”

Zhu Rong nodded and said: "Yes, Brother also drew an atlas for me, didn't you Han people say that famous teachers make high apprentices, my flying knife is under Brother's, my sister should rest assured now, you can let me go to the battlefield." ”

Ma Yun said faintly: "Your brother is really biased, why don't you teach me to use big flying knives, only give me twelve small flying knives, and wait for him to come back, see if I don't settle accounts with him." ”

"What." Zhu Rong's two eyes widened, "Brother gave you twelve flying knives at once, he was so stingy with me, so he hid his two flying knives, and chased after other people's buttocks, hum, he was partial to me." ”

Ma Yun looked at Zhu Rong with a childish face, couldn't help laughing, and said: "Okay, okay, he is partial to both of us, and when he comes back, we will settle accounts with him together, I don't need to look at your martial arts, now there is an important task handed over to you, and you have to ensure that it is completed." ”

Zhu Rong's waist straightened up, and he said loudly: "Please rest assured, sister, sister promises to complete the task." ”

When Ma Yun saw her appearance, she laughed out loud and said: "Don't be so formal, when the enemy outside the city comes to attack, you will go to the city gates to inspect everywhere, and once you find that the enemy has broken through the city gate, you will immediately return to the house, protect the wives and children to withdraw from the west gate and hide in the suburbs, where there will naturally be someone to answer, and the military situation is urgent, so you will ride your horse in Xiangyang City." ”

Zhu Rong asked with a disappointed face: "It's more, it's over, it's as simple as that." ”

Ma Yun straightened his face and said, "No, it's as simple as that, tell me, can you finish it." ”

Zhu Rong saw Ma Yun's serious appearance, and suddenly became happy again, and said: "This kind of trivial matter, I can catch it, sister, you can rest assured that you will leave it to me." ”

Ma Yun nodded and said, "Well, then you go back and prepare well, take your cousins first, and go to the city gates to familiarize yourself with the situation." ”

Zhu Rong agreed and went happily, but Ma Yun didn't notice that when she turned around, a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth,
