on Liangyi Avenue.

A line of dozens of carriages, more than 100 people ride, the foot is not slow or urgent, from the direction of Yizhou, just through Guò Wuguangguan, into the main body of Liangyi Avenue, the direction is Wudu County.

This line of carriages and horses seems to be not small, but on Liangyi Avenue, it is also inconspicuous. On this avenue, there are often cars flowing like horses, caravans and pedestrians, and there is an endless stream. Even if the fierce beasts are raging everywhere now, they still do not change their prosperous color, as if they have not been affected at all.

The first few people in this group were the same ones who came from Jingzhou, passed through Hanzhong, stopped in Shangyong, and traveled to Yizhou.

Six men on horsebacks walked in the front, four youths and two teenagers. Among them, the first young man with a tough face was Xu Shu Xu Yuanzhi. The remaining three are all his classmates and friends - Shi Tao, Shi Guangyuan, Cui Jun, Cui Zhouping, Meng Jian, and Meng Gongwei. As for the two teenagers, the handsome one is the famous Wolong Zhuge Liang in later generations, and the simple-faced one is the same famous phoenix Pang Tong!

These two teenagers have not yet been crowned, so they have not yet been written.

The previous time they went to Li Zheng's territory to travel, confirm their knowledge, and increase their knowledge. Now, however, the whole family has moved.

In this row of carriages and horses, in addition to the families of the above six people, there is also the old man Sima Hui who came out of the dust at the beginning, but now in the carriage behind, there are also Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan's family.

Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan are both from a large family, so the relocation of the family has such a large group of carriages and horses.

Nowadays, there are many people who move their families from all over the country. Since the outbreak of the beast disaster, various places have been severely injured, and Jingzhou is located in the middle reaches of the river. Nature cannot be an exception. At first, the sea beast traced back along the river and entered the territory of Jingzhou, and soon turned Jiangxia and Nanjun along the river into ruins. So the people were terrified and migrated north.

Those with a discerning eye know that the sea beast cannot be resisted, and it is difficult for Xiangfan to be safe.

After all. Xiangfan is just above the water, and the water passes through the city, with Fancheng in the north and Xiangyang in the south.

The water flows south into the river, and the sea beasts will definitely go back along the river, and Xiangfan will be difficult to protect sooner or later. Although Liu Jingsheng dispatched a large number of naval troops to resist. And promised that they would definitely curb the pace of the sea beast, but no one believed it. Those who are a little smarter know that it is just useless work, and at most it can delay time.

Moreover, now that the sea beast has a tendency to land operations, the invasion method is no longer single. Cities in the interior of various counties were gradually destroyed.

Therefore, many people in Jingxiang began to move their families, and the destination was the territory under Li Zheng's rule. Either Yizhou or Guanzhong.

In this regard, Liu Biao is also helpless.

On the one hand, many of these migrated people are celebrities or prestigious families, and Liu Biao can't do anything about them. Now that Liu Biao is already taking care of himself, where do he still have the heart to take care of these?

And the goal of Xu Shu's line. It's Liangzhou.

After the carriage and horses passed through Guò Wu Guangguan, the large-scale construction scene on the west side of the avenue immediately attracted their attention!

On the cliff on the west side of the avenue. At a glance, every two or three miles, there is a construction site. Densely packed with young men and strong, they are building a fortress on the cliff. There were also many beasts the size of horses, digging for rocks, and they also saw huge beasts. We are transporting quarried rocks.

"What is this?"

Shi Tao couldn't see it, so he couldn't help but speak.

Everyone shook their heads. Zhuge Liang, who had red lips and white teeth, frowned and said, "It seems that he is building a fortification of the dock fortifications, you see." On the almost repaired dock forts in front, are there a lot of offensive and defensive equipment such as throwing cars? ”

"It is true that a lot of offensive and defensive weapons have been placed." Shi Tao took a closer look, nodded slightly, but said: "This is to build a dock fort every two or three miles, and also place such offensive and defensive equipment, and only build on this side, what is the reason?" ”

Cui Jun and the others all showed the same doubts.

Pang Tong retracted his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said: "This Liangyi Avenue is a communication artery connecting the north and south of General Li's territory, if this road is blocked, the consequences will be extremely severe. It seems that there should be a strong enemy threat in the west, and in order to avoid the loss of contact between the north and the south, so many dock forts were built on the west side as a defense. ”

Everyone bowed slightly.

"Maybe you can ask." Zhuge Liang pointed to the pedestrians on the avenue and said with a smile.

Everyone laughed, yes, guess what's going on here? It's better to just ask someone who knows, isn't it?

Xu Shu looked up and saw a small caravan coming, so he grabbed the reins of his horse, turned over, and stepped forward in a few steps.

"This brother!"

Xu Shu bowed his hand and said with a smile: "I have some questions, I want to ask for advice, can my brother explain your doubts for you?" Excuse me. ”

Seeing this, the caravan leader waved his hand to let the caravan continue to move forward, stayed by himself, turned over and dismounted, and saluted Xu Shu back, saying, "It's polite." ”

"That's right," Xu Shu pointed to the construction site stretching on the cliff on the west side, and said, "I and the others moved their families from Jingzhou and prepared to settle in Liangzhou." When I arrived here, I saw these fortresses being built, and I didn't know why, so I called Brother Tai and asked this, hoping to find out. Please also ask brother Tai not to blame the abruptness. ”

"It doesn't matter." The leader of the caravan smiled and said, "I said why don't you know, it turned out that Jingzhou was relocated." You are asking the right person, you know, many of the people who come and go on this road now are outsiders, and like you, they are also preparing to move to Liangzhou. And below, it happens to be a person from Liangzhou, and this is not about to transport a batch of goods to Yizhou. ”

After a pause, he said, "A few days ago, General Li ordered to build a fortress on the west side of this Liangyi Avenue, and the reason for this is because of the fierce beast!" ”

"Oh?!"

Xu Shu's heart jumped, and he said, "There are also fierce beasts raging in Liangzhou? ”

"It's not going to be rampant." The man shook his head and said, "Kanto and even Jingzhou are plagued by sea beasts, but in our Liangzhou, there are fierce beasts from the mountains attacking the county. A few days ago, Jincheng County was caught off guard and suffered a disaster. I've heard that a lot of people died. ”

"Shhh

Xu Shu couldn't help but gasp: "So it's not safe to say that Liangzhou is not safe?!" ”

His heart sank.

"How is that possible? There is no safer place in the world than Liangzhou, and under the rule of General Li, it is the most stable. Although Jincheng County was attacked by fierce beasts, it was quickly extinguished by a large army sent by General Li. Several counties that have been breached by ferocious beasts. They were all taken back. Hmph, if you want me to say, if it weren't for the fact that there were no garrisons in Jincheng County, where would it be the turn to get those brutes to be majestic? I'm afraid that as soon as I emerge, I will be exterminated! Alas. The people of Jincheng County who are suffering are really, alas"

When Xu Shu heard this, he was even more surprised.

One is that he was surprised by the attack on Jincheng County in Liangzhou, so it seems that among these mountains and mountains, there are also fierce beasts similar to sea beasts. There is no place for stability in the world. The two were surprised by the combat effectiveness of the Liangzhou Army!

You must know that in Guandong or Jingzhou, no matter which prince, any army under his command, faces the sea beast. It's all about collapse at the touch of a button. However, the Liangzhou army was able to exterminate the fierce beasts that attacked Jincheng!

Smelling the elite of the Liangzhou army, although I also believe it, I didn't see it with my own eyes after all, and the current fact completely proves this.

Thinking of this, Xu Shu felt a little relieved.

Since the Liangzhou army can exterminate the fierce beast, presumably Liangzhou should be stable in the overall situation. So it seems. This family relocation is not out of the basket.

And the current situation can be explained.

Jincheng County was attacked, and the fierce beast must have come from the Qilian Mountains. And this Liangyi Avenue. It is the intersection of Qilian Mountain and Nanshan Mountain. As long as this avenue is held, the trend of fierce beasts spreading along the mountains and forests can be curbed, so as to ensure the safety of northern Yizhou, Hanzhong and Guanzhong.

The team leader was still saying at this time: "Don't you know, there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers stationed on this avenue. No matter how powerful the beast is, what else can it do? So we, the merchants. Still doing business as usual"

After listening to this person's chatter. Xu Shu thanked the merchant leader again and returned to his team. Tell what you have heard one by one, and everyone has their own thoughts.

"Fortunately, General Li was immediately deployed." Pang Tong said: "Otherwise, once the fierce beast spreads here and enters the South Mountain, then the situation in this world will really suffer!" ”

Everyone said yes.

The group of carriages and horses did not hurry or move forward slowly.

After walking for a few miles, suddenly, Xu Shu's face in front of him changed, and several people then grabbed the reins of the horse, stretched out their hands to signal, and the follow-up carriage then stopped.

The pedestrians passing by around also surrendered their eyes to the cliff on the west side!

A loud roar is ringing on that cliff!

Suddenly, I saw several dark shadows on the edge of the cliff.

A closer look reveals that many people exclaimed.

"Beast!"

Someone shouted.

"This is the beast? What a big one! It's about the same as a giant beast! ”

In the midst of everyone's exclamations, they rushed to scatter to avoid it, but saw a few huge beasts emerging from the cliff retreat to the edge of the cliff, unable to stand on their feet, stepped on a few stones, and then fell from the cliff dozens of feet high with a desperate roar, and fell into the chaos of stones, booming, unable to struggle, and soon stopped moving.

Subsequently, more than a dozen fierce beasts of different sizes fell from the cliff like dumplings. This Liangyi Avenue is a road formed by the mountain-breaking beast breaking through the mountain. Therefore, many sections of the road are straight cliffs on both sides. The avenue is five zhang wide, but there are three zhang of open space on each side, and the open space is a pile of rubble left after the road was opened. The beasts fell, fell among the rocks, and immediately broke their bones and died.

Immediately, people saw seven or eight huge metal shield carts popping up on the cliff.

So it dawned on the wise people.

Presumably, these fierce beasts that fell off the cliff were all knocked down by these shield carts.

Then I saw a column of heavily armored soldiers emerge from behind the shield cart, and these soldiers stood on the cliff, and looked down carefully, and the people on the avenue faintly heard some sounds.

"Stone, you go and inform the people in the logistics team and ask them to come and clean up"

As soon as the voice fell, the group of soldiers and shield carts disappeared from the cliff.

When the soldiers had departed, there were those who dared to go up on the avenue to watch, and soon a large circle of people gathered around them, pointing and pointing.

Xu Shu and the others couldn't help but step forward to watch.

When I got closer, I was more and more shocked. Before, it was far away and it was difficult to see clearly, but now I can clearly see the huge size and sharp claws of these fierce beasts, and the killing weapons that can be known at a glance.

Xu Shu and the others glanced at each other, and Zhuge Liang said: "I heard that the skin of the fierce beast has a very strong defense, and ordinary swords and arrows are difficult to break through the defense at all, and the princes have nothing to do with these beasts - you see, although these beasts fell from the cliff and died, their skin also had knife wounds. I didn't expect the Liangzhou army to be able to kill it so lightly, tsk, the armor is well-deserved! ”

This is actually where the confidence of most pedestrians lies.

Why did the caravan continue to travel as usual? Why do pedestrians continue to come and go as usual?

Because they don't fear for their own safety and trust that the army will be able to protect them!

Of course, it is not as easy as Zhuge Liang guessed.

The army guarding the front line of the fierce beast defense, and the soldiers die every day! This is an indisputable fact. Even if the Liangzhou army has excellent armor, second-order armor and heavy offensive and defensive equipment can kill the fierce beast, but the minions and strength of the fierce beast can also cause killing and wounding to the soldiers of the Liangzhou army.
