Jia Xu suddenly interjected: "I heard that the wild wolf tribe received a lot of benefits from the royal court last year, and there was no disaster, is there such a thing?" ”

Luo Qian Di Ao didn't know Jia Xu, and he didn't know that this ordinary-looking man was the bastard in his mouth, but for Liu Xiu's side, and he interjected Liu Xiu was not disgusted, it was estimated that it was Liu Xiu's cronies, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly saluted: "But isn't it, just the Golden Eagle Tribe has supported them with tens of thousands of sheep, they are a blessing in disguise, and their strength is stronger than before." ”

"Does he have anything to do with Murong Feng, why does the Golden Eagle Tribe support them so hard?"

"Well, they got married, and Yan Liyou is ready to marry her sister to Murong Feng."

Jia Xu nodded and didn't say anything more. Settle down Gandhi Ao once again reminded Liu Xiu not to take risks, and then left in a hurry.

Liu Xiu turned his gaze to Jia Xu, and Jia Xu smiled disdainfully, "This barbarian is lying, please send someone to follow him, the wild wolf tribe is likely to be near them." ”

Liu Xiu raised his eyebrows and waited for Jia Xu's explanation.

"My lord, the Hongyue tribe is Helian's cronies, but Murong Feng is Helian's opponent, if Yan Liyou and Murong Feng form an alliance, it will be tantamount to opposing Helian, in other words, they will be the enemies of the Hongyue tribe in the future. If that's the case, why didn't the Hongyue tribe persuade us to have a bloody battle with Yan Liyou and Murong Feng? He also said that we have a chance to win, but the price will be very high. Could it be that he persuaded us not to go because he was afraid that we would lose too much? ”

Liu Xiu smiled, he also heard the weirdness from this, but Jia Xu's analysis was more accurate. He immediately asked Xu Huang to inform him and shift the focus of his reconnaissance to the vicinity of the Hongyue tribe. With Qiandi Ao as a guide, Xu Huang easily captured the location of the Hongyue tribe, and then found the wild wolf tribe.

The Wild Wolf Tribe and the Red Yue Tribe are both fifty miles north of the Wolf Juxu Mountain, on both sides of the source of the Gonglu River, and they can support each other at any time if something happens. It was already the territory of the Minotor tribe, but the combined strength of the two tribes was far greater than that of the Minotaur tribe, so they had nothing to fear.

After getting the news, Liu Xiu and the others all laughed, since this is the case, then they can't allow Feng Crack to be so calm. Liu Xiu immediately sent a fast horse to Baisha Lake, told the news of the invasion of the Wild Wolf Tribe and the Red Yue Tribe to Crack Tempest, and then ordered Xu Huang to quickly find a suitable ambush location, while the army continued to move eastward, but the speed slowed down imperceptibly, only a few dozen miles a day, and it kept circling in circles, like headless flies, and as if hesitating.

After returning to the camp, he told the news to the Gandhara, who was old and much more thoughtful, and he did not believe the words of the Gandhi, and continued to send scouts to keep watch. Considering that he could not have a head-on confrontation with the scouts of the Han army, so as not to reveal his whereabouts, he ordered the scouts not to get too close, as long as they kept a safe distance from the Han army a hundred miles away.

The Han army had been at a safe distance, but the wind was coming. He was very angry, and personally rushed to the camp of the Gandra, and threatened the Gandra, saying, "You have entered our territory, and you have not even said hello, and you still take us seriously?" I officially inform you that you are limited to retreat to the south of Wolf Juxu Mountain within two days, otherwise don't blame us for not remembering the old feelings and turning against you.

He set up a banquet to invite Split Wind to drink, and it was an apology and a guarantee, he said to Split Wind, the Han people are too tight, the king wants to deal with Yuan Shao's main force, there is no strength to support us, and our strength is not enough to confront Liu Xiu, so we can only avoid it for a while. Rest assured, this is only a temporary expedient measure, and we are not here to grab your territory. The year before last, the western Xianbei conquered the Niutou tribe, we were the first to retreat, no one dared to fight against your Abba, he is a famous general among our Xianbei people, except for the king and Murong Feng, who dares to fight him.

A sentence turned the crack wind into joy, and said the news that the wind crack was coming with the army, and he didn't dare to act rashly, he calmed the crack wind on the one hand, and notified Yan Liyou on the other hand, the wind crack is coming, is it to fight or to fight? If we fight, I'll arrest Crack Wind now, and if it does, we will honestly prepare to retreat, so as not to anger Wind Crack, and everyone will not end well.

Yan Liyou owes a favor to Gandhi Ao, and said very knowingly, you are in charge, what you say, I will do it.

Luo Luo thought about it, and felt that with the current strength comparison, if he fought with the wind, he might not lose, but it was not easy to win, not to mention that Liu Xiu was not far away, once the two sides started a war and Liu Xiu smelled blood, and they pounced again, it would be a big trouble.

He once again made a promise to the Cracked Wind, please reply to the Crack Wind, we will withdraw in half a month at most, and we will never dare to stay longer. After a long time of muttering, the wind relayed the camp near Anhou Shui, maintaining appropriate pressure, and waiting for the retreat of the Red Yue tribe and the wild wolf tribe.

Just when they all thought that they were safe, Liu Xiu was holding a combat meeting. A topographic map of Wolf Juxu Mountain was spread on the ground, several strategists and generals surrounded the map, some stood, some squatted, those who drank water drank wine, and those who ate meat ate meat, but no one dared to make a noise, and even whispered quietly when they spoke, for fear of disturbing the atmosphere.

The campaign was presided over by Xun You, who synthesized the information he had collected before and Xu Huang's verification in the past two days to explain the current situation in as much detail as possible. The big camp of the Hongyue tribe is on the west bank of Gonglu Shui, east of Guyan Mountain, thirty or forty miles away from the big camp of the wind split, and his position is the most dangerous, so the vigilance is relatively high, and it is not easy to attack him. The wild wolf tribe is on the east bank of the Gonglu River, because there is the Hongyue tribe as an outpost, they are relatively safe, and their vigilance is not so high, but the surveillance of the area around the wolf Juxu Mountain is very strict, and it is unlikely that they will sneak attack them through here.

The best way is to cross the Gonglu Water first, bypass the Wolf Juxu Mountain, and attack the Wild Wolf Tribe from the northeast, and at the same time, in order to avoid the support of the Hongyu Tribe, it is necessary to send a team of foot soldiers to guard the Gonglu Shui. The number of infantry troops must not be too large, but the combat effectiveness must be very strong, otherwise the support of the Red Yue tribe is likely to make this attack a bitter battle.

The purpose is clear, the next thing is to arrange the task, this is very simple, the task of running is naturally responsible for the cavalry, and the foot soldiers who block the attack are of course the tiger battalion including the heavy armor, the problem is that this time there are two generals who need to read the army, Liu Xiu commands one way, and who is responsible for the other route.

"I'm in charge of blocking it." Liu Xiu expressed his attitude in the first word, and then swept his gaze on the faces of Zhao Yun, Lu Bu and Han Sui, Zhao Yun was as calm as ever, although Han Sui was a little excited, but he could still restrain himself, Lu Bu jumped up, patted his chest and shouted: "My lord, I'm coming!" ”

Liu Xiu smiled slightly: "Feng Xian is good at fighting and is a striker." Zilong thought more calmly and refused. The text is resourceful and decisive, and you are in the middle of the dispatch. ”

Han Sui was overjoyed and bowed: "Oh." ”

Lu Bu blinked, a little dissatisfied with not being the main general, but when he thought of Liu Xiu's sentence "good at fighting without advancement", his heart was beautiful, and he felt that it was a pity not to be a striker. Thinking of Zhao Yun, who had always been with him, this time he was still a little embarrassed, and he didn't feel in the mood to make any more trouble, so he bowed down to receive the order.

Zhao Yun also smiled and received the order.

Jia Xu and Xun You glanced at each other, and said in their hearts that Liu Xiuzhen could speak, and the candidates were also arranged very properly, which showed that although he was usually very arrogant with the generals, he still knew it in his heart.

"Wenhe, you cooperate with Wenyue this time." Liu Xiu and Jia Xu exchanged a look, and Jia Xu understood. He and Han Sui are both from Xiliang, and there will definitely be no problem cooperating with Han Sui, and he is also good at figuring out people's tempers, and reconciling the possible contradictions between these three people is also very handy, and it is precisely with his strengths.

Everyone was very satisfied with Liu Xiu's arrangement, and they all went to arrange it, and they all happily implemented it. After the twilight came, Liu Xiu quietly left the brigade with the personal guard battalion and the baggage battalion, followed the mountain road explored by Xu Huang into the mountain, and hid in a hidden valley, tomorrow morning, the cavalry will leave with great fanfare, so that the Xianbei people think that they have all left, relax their vigilance, and then they can put the baggage battalion and war horses here, cross the wolf Juxu Mountain on foot, and lurk between the two large camps, ready to block.

The place Xu Huang is looking for is very good, the two ends are narrow, the middle is large, there is no problem with two or three thousand people hidden inside, and it is easy to guard, as long as the secret whistle is arranged at both ends, it is difficult for people outside to touch in. The Gonglu water flows right here, and the water source is not a problem. Despite this, Liu Xiu still ordered that nothing should fall into the river, that water must be taken with caution, and that no noise should be made.

At night, the moon climbed the mountain, shining on the mountain, the bow water glittered like a silver belt, flowing in a loud stream, the soldiers hidden between the mountains and rocks did a set of guidance techniques to stretch their muscles and bones according to the custom, relaxed the muscles of the body, and then got into the sleeping bag, chatted a few words of homely things, and fell into a sweet dreamland.

Liu Xiu carried a foldable lantern, through the dim light, carefully inspected the sleeping soldiers, although these sleeping bags are specially made for a large value, each cost is not less than a tent, but after all, sleeping in the open is not as comfortable as living in a tent, at this time not only to set an example, so that the soldiers are psychologically balanced, moderate humanistic care is also a way to soothe their mood. Even if it's just a sentence or two, it can make the hearts of these ordinary soldiers feel warm.

Guan Yu was holding a sword, wrapping his legs in a sleeping bag, and wearing a winter jacket on his upper body, which was not a standard military uniform, but his own regular uniform. Hearing Liu Xiu's footsteps, he opened his eyes and prepared to get up and salute. Liu Xiu hurriedly signaled him not to get up, so as not to alarm the other soldiers. "What, the sleeping bag isn't long enough?" Liu Xiu looked at the winter jacket he was draped over his shoulders and asked.

"It's not." Guan Yu stroked his winter jacket, and a gentle smile rarely appeared on his face: "This is what I brought out when I escaped from my hometown, in order to be able to eat in the past few years, all my clothes have been changed, and this is the last piece of clothing that still has the atmosphere of my hometown." ”

Liu Xiu swept his eyes and saw that although this ordinary winter jacket was worn, the workmanship was still exquisite, and a small white flower with an unknown name was embroidered on the cuffs, he smiled: "Sent by a lover?" ”

Guan Yu's face turned red, and he stretched out his big hand to caress the little flower. "Tang pear, the most common fruit tree in my hometown, the flowers are beautiful, the pears are delicious, the wood can also be used as a cutting board, the leaves can also cure diseases, and every family has several Tang pear trees. In autumn, the pear blossoms in the mountains and valleys are like pink snow, which is very beautiful. ”

Liu Xiu smiled narrowly: "There are no beautiful girls? ”

Guan Yu opened his mouth, his face was even redder like blood, but his eyes were a little moist. He raised his face and was silent for a while before he said in a dumb voice: "Yes, but I killed people and fled, and I don't know what happened to her now." ”

Liu Xiu didn't ask again, reached out and patted his big hand holding his knee: "This battle is over, I'll give you a vacation, you go back to Hedong to have a look, if you find her, bring it back, any city, you pick a house, count it as my gift money." ”

"Thank you, sir." Guan Yu said gratefully, "If she hasn't married yet, I will definitely bring her." ”

"It's okay to become a parent, as long as the girl is willing to follow you, it doesn't matter how much money you have." Liu Xiu's words changed, and he suddenly became murderous: "If someone dares to stop you, you will be chopped directly, if there are too many people on the other side, take my name and stab me to the Taishou Mansion to find Dong Zhuo to transfer troops, I don't believe he dares not to help with this." ”

Guan Yu looked at Liu Xiu with wide eyes, a little incredulous for a while, and after a while, he turned over and bowed down: "Lord Xie." ”

"Have a good rest, win battles, and make military achievements, and then you can marry your sweetheart." Liu Xiu patted him on the shoulder and got up to leave.

Guan Yu was so excited that he couldn't get up on the ground, Zhang Fei pulled him up and squeezed his eyes: "Brother Yun, if you want to help, just ask, and promise to help you snatch your sister-in-law back." One sentence made Guan Yu red-faced.

After the night patrol, Liu Xiu returned to his residence, Xun You was sitting in his sleeping bag, and Lu Shi was flying his fingers, giving him some acupoints to heal his injuries. Xun You's body is not strong, he was sick once last time, and this time it is better than last time, but it is common to have a cold and fever, and what makes people laugh and cry is that most people can rely on wine to drive away the cold, but he can't, he gets chills when he drinks alcohol, and he is more likely to catch a cold. Fortunately, with Lu Shi and Wang Zhi here, a few silver needles will be pricked, or massaged on several acupuncture points for a period of time, and his condition will be alleviated.

"Gongda, how's it going?" Liu Xiu stuck the lantern on the stone wall, rubbed his hands and smiled.

"Madame's Taoism is getting more and more sophisticated, and the place where she presses it is like having used moxibustion, and it is very hot and comfortable." Xun You opened his eyes and said with a relaxed expression: "My lord, do you look like a patient now?" ”

Liu Xiu couldn't help laughing, "Don't be too arrogant, don't get cold again at night." You're comfortable, but Madame is sweating from exhaustion. ”

"It's okay." After Lu Shi Tuna's pranayama was finished, he smiled lightly: "Speaking of which, it is still the credit of the adults, if it wasn't for the adults who helped me enter the meditation, my cultivation would not have progressed so quickly." ”

"Is it really that effective?" Liu Xiu was skeptical, "Why can't I do it myself?" ”

"Maybe it's because adults have too many things to think about, and they're not as casual as I am." Lu Shi explained: "Adults don't have to worry, as long as you insist on practicing, it is up to people to make things happen, and it is up to heaven to achieve things. ”

Liu Xiu could only smile bitterly. He was also a little confused now, not knowing whether the truth Lu Shi said was just philosophical beauty or real. For example, when talking about the nature of all things, Lu Shi said to him, Lao Tzu said in 5,000 words, "There are things that are mixed and born from nature." Lonely, reading ability does not change, and walking around does not die, can be the mother of heaven and earth. I don't know its name, the strong word is called the way, and the strong name is big. This Tao is the essence of all things, the Tao can nurture all things, but the Tao itself will not change, which is what Zhou Yishang said "not easy".

Liu Xiu remembered the so-called energy, according to some theories in the 21st century, all matter is transformed from energy, and energy is transformed between various forms, but the total amount of energy remains the same. There are two kinds of energy, one is positive energy, and the other is dark energy, which seems to be close to the yin and yang of the Tao.

But he felt that it would be too mysterious to say that Lao Tzu could discover this secret by virtue of cultivation and without using any instruments. But Lu Shi said again, isn't the human body an instrument? This is the most sophisticated instrument, why can you only believe in lifeless instruments, but not your own body?

Liu Xiu couldn't say it clearly, and it was also impossible for the Lu family to be completely clear, so he could only be suspicious.

"Madam, do you still need me to help you settle down?" Liu Xiu interrupted.

"No need, I can do it myself, if I really can't settle down, then ask the adults to help." Lu's eyes were a little evasive, and he got up and left. Liu Xiu didn't know how much effect this Dading had, but judging from Lu's walking posture, her recovery speed was indeed much faster than that of ordinary people, and she couldn't see anything anymore.

"My lord, let's go to rest early." Xun You got into his sleeping bag and closed his eyes. Liu Xiu thought about it, spread out the sleeping bag, and slept next to Xun You, and let Xu Yu sleep on the other side, with the two of them with great firepower next to him, Xun You would feel better at night.

Not far away, Lu sat cross-legged in his sleeping bag, his hands sealed, his breathing deep and soft, as if there was nothing. Wang Zhi held the sword, leaned against the wall, looked at the mountain shadow in the distance, and faintly heard the sound of running water, endlessly. He suddenly turned his head and looked at Lu Shi in surprise: "Madam? ”

Lu Shi frowned slightly, and Wang Zhi immediately closed his mouth, not daring to make a sound. After a while, Lu Shi exhaled lightly, let go of the handprint, slowly rubbed his hands warm, massaged his face for a while, and rested for a while, then slowly opened his eyes, there was a little excitement in his eyes, and a little nervous.

"I feel like I'm going to break through."

Wang Zhi's eyes lit up, and his voice trembled a little: "Madame has realized?" ”

Lu Shi shook his head and pursed his lips and smiled: "How can it be so fast, it's just that the spell has grown, and I'm about to enter the tiger's roar." ”

Wang Zhi was a little disappointed, but then he was happy again: "With the green bull horns, hasn't Madam reached the realm of dragon yin?" ”

"Even if you break through now, it's only the first level of the Tiger Roar, and the green horns are only high-level, how can you reach the Dragon Roar." While massaging his legs, Lu Shi explained: "After all, the green horn is just a tool, and the higher the level, the more limited the role. ”

"That's not bad." Wang Zhi said with a smile: "If Madam breaks through the Tiger Roar, she will have enough confidence to deal with Zhang Jiao, and she is also the first person to practice the Tiger Roar after Xiang Ji." ”

"It's hard to say, cultivators are indifferent to fame and fortune, they have practiced the tiger roar, if you don't say it, who can know?" Lu shook his head disapprenously: "Xiang Ji has become a tiger roar, but in the end, he is not defeated?" Those scholars all say that it is benevolence and righteousness, but in my opinion, Xiang Ji is much more benevolent and righteous than Gaozu, maybe it is Gaozu...... There is help from people with higher realms. ”

Wang Zhi shook his head again and again, feeling that Lu's words were unreliable, "If there is really such a master, how can there be no rumors at all." Besides, although Xiang Ji lost the world, he is still invincible when it comes to fighting alone. ”

"Who can tell the past?" Lu Shi sighed faintly, "It's a pity that Shizun is not here, otherwise, she will definitely be able to recognize the ring and the short knife, our qualifications are too poor, obviously the artifact is in front of us, but we don't know how to use it." Thinking of Liu Xiu cutting flesh with a short knife, Lu couldn't help frowning, it was really a tyrannical thing.

…… Early the next morning, Han Sui led the army eastward, and the news soon reached the ears of Yan Liyou and Luo Luoluo. Yan Liyou came to the camp of the Hongyue tribe and drank with Qianluoluo, this time Qianluoluo helped him a great favor, so that he avoided the bad luck of being attacked by the Han people, he was very grateful, and specially brought an urn of good wine and two fat sheep.

The two of them pushed the glasses and changed the glasses, and the wine was in full swing, and Yan Liyou said intentionally or unintentionally, we spent a lot of money to buy these wines, but the traitor of Fengxi was just because his daughter was snatched away by Liu Xiu, and he could get a lot, which is really eye-catching.

Luo quipped, don't you have a sister, just marry Liu Xiu.

Yan Liyou smiled and raised his glass: "I'm not so stupid, push my sister into the fire pit?" If I want to marry, I also have to marry her to Yuan Shao. For a child of a family like Yuan Shao, what is Liu Xiu? He is a grasshopper, no matter how hard he jumps, as long as Yuan Shao steps down, he is a dead end. ”

"Is it that serious?" Gandhara was a little unimpressed.

"Just look at the situation and you'll know." Yan Liyou smiled mysteriously: "I promise, Liu Xiu will not end well this time." He was so arrogant that he only brought 10,000 troops to kill here. You see how smart Yuan Shao is, with 30,000 elites in his hands, he will be satisfied when he occupies Danhan Mountain, and when the time comes, he will spend some money to repair the city defense of Danhan Mountain and hand it over to others to guard, and if he keeps it, the credit is his, and if he loses it, the responsibility is someone else's. And the Han people are good at guarding, he really wants to spend his heart to clean up Danhan Mountain, we are really not easy to attack, and then the king may have to give up Mo Nan like the Huns. ”

"Give up Mo Nan?" Falling Gandra Luo heard the sound outside the strings: "The king wants to fight the wind? ”

Yan Liyou smiled and asked rhetorically, "Do you think the king will tolerate a rebellious existence?" ”

Luo Luoluo's eyes tightened, and he slowly pulled his thick beard: "You mean to say that the king's retreat to the north is not entirely to avoid the Han soldiers, he intends to take the opportunity to attack and kill the wind crack?" ”

Yan Liyou nodded, looking at the eyes of Luo Luo Luo with some pride. He knew the news, and he didn't know it, because he was also a rebel, and after the news of his tribute to the Han emperor came out last year, Tanshi Huai was so angry that he scolded Helian, and almost cut off Adella's head.

"Brother, I have revealed such an important matter to you, brother, don't miss the opportunity." Yan Liyou seemed to pat Luo Luoluo's shoulder affectionately, but his pupils shrank involuntarily.

(To be continued)
