Chapter 109: The Return (4.2k)
Lu Jing killed the four swords of Luofu, came to Yan Yan and squatted down, and checked his chest injury.
Yan Ling and Yi Guanqi watched him nervously.
"Great River Sword" is the secret of the Luofu Sword Sect, once it is hit, it will leave sword qi in the body, like a bone appendage, which cannot be eliminated, and can only be pulled out with the same kind of true qi.
Lu Jing stretched out his hand and pressed lightly on Yan Yan's chest, and the Great Wuxiang True Qi quickly transformed into a simulation, and then shook his hand and inhaled, and a sword qi flew out with blood, shattering a thick tree on his side.
Yan Yan's face gradually improved.
Yan Ling and Yi Guan Qi both breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Jingdao: "It's almost late." When I went out today, I specially asked the Venerable Master, only to know that it was the disciples of the Sword Sect who died that day, and Zuo Ci was the previous head of the Sword Sect, and they had already conspired with Liu Bei, so they should tell you, so you should be on guard as soon as possible, blame me. ”
Yan Ling shook her head and said, "It's none of your business, you are so badly injured, and the Venerable Master doesn't want to think too much about it, delay healing, or ...... He didn't expect these masters to do this, and they ended up in person, shameless! ”
Yi Guanqi thought so, and snorted coldly: "With the means of 'Luofu Sword Immortal', even if they are on guard, they can't stop them from entering the city and breaking the formation." Isn't this Liu Bei just a treacherous villain? Why did so many people help him? ”
Analysys is puzzled.
This person is so hypocritical and righteous to Liu Zhang, who is the same sect, and uses the body of a guest general to seek a foundation, how can there be so many people to help?
Are those people blind?
Lu pointed out Yan Yan's heart vein acupoint, urged the medicinal power of the [Creation Pill] in his body, and said casually: "You all know about Cao Cao becoming the Duke of Wei. Liu Xie has been a puppet plaything in Cao Cao's hands for more than ten years, and he is about to be replaced, and the Han Dynasty has been raising soldiers for four hundred years, and those loyal ministers must find one of Cao Cao's opponents if they want to prosper the Yan Han.
Among the heroes of the world, only Liu Bei is ambitious, and he is a relative of the Han family. The more Liu Xie was suppressed, the clearer Liu Bei's banner became. Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, once said: 'If you are not the king of the Liu family, the world will fight together', and now Cao Cao is about to become the king, and the Han Dynasty is about to fall, maybe when he will change his surname, can these people not be in a hurry? ”
Lu Jing's explanation was simple and reasonable, and Yi Guanqi suddenly said: "I see." ”
Yan Ling also understood a little, looking deeply at Lu Jing and looking at his side face.
Lu Jing is still Lu Jing, even if she hides in the mountains for a few months, she can still get a glimpse of the whole leopard, and her eyes can't help but show admiration.
Lu Jing withdrew his hand, carefully inspected Yan Yan's body, nodded and said, "It's almost, the rest is to recuperate, you can't stay here for a long time, let's go back to Hanzhong immediately." Ling Zun and Fan seniors ......"
"It's fine."
Yan Ling said: "Originally, it was two carriages that confused the public, since the four swords came to chase my grandfather, then the master's side is fine...... Besides, with the help of the third uncle, it should be no big problem, and they may arrive at the Wind Yin Pavilion first. ”
Lu Jing nodded, their goal was Yan Yan, so it was useless to catch others.
"Let's go, then."
The ink pupil became bigger again, Lu Jing picked up Yan Yan and took the two girls on the back of the snake, the ink pupil raised his head and roared, soaring into the sky, and rushed to Hanzhong.
At this time, the situation in Hanzhong was not good.
In order to concentrate on Cao Cao's personal expedition in the north, Zhang Lu even transferred the troops of Bashi County, and gathered at this time in the South Zheng Motianling.
Dao Qi is always in the palace.
Zhang Lu rang the bell and beat the drum, gathered the civil and military to deliberate, Ma Chao, Yang Song, Yang Bai, Zhang Yulan, Fan Xuan, etc. were all listed.
When the others were together, Zhang Wei came out of the ranks, clasped his fists and said: "I just received an urgent report from the Yecheng soldiers, Cao Cao Xing's 100,000 troops marched westward, and he was divided into three teams: Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He, the pioneers of the front; Cao Cao led the generals in the center; Cao Ren and Xiahoudun in the rear, escorting grain and grass. Now it is out of Yecheng. ”
Zhang Lu nodded and looked at Zhong Wenwu: "What do you think?" ”
Yan Pu thought for a while and suggested: "Master Yu, Hanzhong is surrounded by dangerous mountains, the army is difficult, Cao manipulates the elite soldiers and strong generals, but it is difficult to arrange, if you don't want to take the Qinling dangerous mountains, the most likely situation is to take the Chencang Road through Wudu County to the south and attack Yangping Pass." Now it can be around the pass, by the mountains and forests, under more than ten fences, and the city wall into a piece, to meet the Cao army, and ask the general to guard, set up a formation, seize the enemy's grain road, cut off its back road! ”
Hanzhong is bordered by the Qinling Mountains in the north and the Micang Mountain in the south, and is the Hanzhong Basin in the middle.
The terrain is high in the north and south, and low in the middle, forming the geomorphological skeleton of "two mountains and one river".
If Cao Cao wants to attack Hanzhong, he can only attack Yangping Pass if he does not take the dangerous mountains of Qinling, but the mountains of Yangping Pass are treacherous, and strong armies such as tiger and leopard cavalry are not useful.
Zhang Lu also knows the advantages and disadvantages of his own family, and now is a critical battle, whether he can get out of Hanzhong and preach to Shenzhou depends on how this battle is fought.
Zhang Lu immediately sent Zhang Wei, Ma Chao, Yang Bai, Yang Song, Yang Ren and others to lead 50,000 troops to the expedition and went to Yangping Pass to garrison first.
Wait for the crowd to retreat.
Zhang Lu suddenly felt something, showed a smile, and said to Fan Xuan: "Fourth junior brother, wait a minute, Dongting is back." ”
"Oh?"
Fan Xuan immediately showed joy, and Zhang Yulan stopped just about to leave.
This kid killed Pang Tong and made too much noise, and even [Dao Disk] was sentenced to death, I thought it would take a few more days to recuperate, but I didn't expect to come back so soon.
Sure enough, then a ghost pawn informed Lu Jing to ask to see him, Zhang Lu raised his hand, and Lu Jing was wearing Xiaoyun armor and strode into the hall.
"Disciple Lu Jing, meet Shijun, Holy Aunt, Master."
Lu Jing saluted one by one, and Fan Xuan and Zhang Yulan were relieved to see Lu Jing who was embarrassed.
"I'm finally back, but your master has been worried about you for a long time."
Zhang Lu stretched out his hand and said, "This time I came back from the south, how is the situation?" ”
Lu Jing hugged his fists and said: "Bajun has fallen, Taishou Yan Yan and the others have fled to the Nanzheng Fengyin Pavilion to recuperate, and the rest are not to worry." The convergence of Zhang Fei and Liu Bei is already a certainty, and now Liu Bei's soldiers are besieging Chengdu, there are top strategists such as Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng, and there are unparalleled fierce generals such as Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei, even though Liu Zhang has Gongsun Shu personally built Chengdu City, but ...... I'm afraid it won't last long, and Xichuan will still fall into Liu Bei's hands after all. ”
The most regrettable thing is that the general Zhang Ren died in battle, and the only general under Liu Zhang who can pick the lead is gone, and the outcome after that can be predicted.
"Ugh."
Zhang Lu sighed.
This news also shattered his last illusions.
In the end, after being a "king" in Hanzhong for 30 years and being a "king" for such a long time, even if he had the intention to surrender to Cao for the sake of preaching and other considerations, he was still unwilling in the end.
Now you don't have to think about it, Hanzhong suffered from the enemy in the abdomen, either to Cao Cao, or to Liu Bei, Liu Bei was treacherous, once colluded with Ma Chao, dug his wall foot, and it was impossible to take refuge in him!
Zhang Lu looked down on Liu Bei's methods, and he didn't want to follow him from scratch.
Zhang Lu made up his mind and said to Lu Jing: "It's just the right time for you to come back, now Cao Cao's army is marching westward, and it will arrive at Yangping Pass in the near future, and it is time for you to show your skills, I will allow you two hundred elite soldiers and five thousand men and horses to follow the army to help fight, and these people will be under your full command to assist the heir to garrison the city defense." ”
Zhang Lu threw out a token.
"Yes."
Lu Jing received the order: "Thank you, Master." ”
He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he finally caught up, can he be the marquis here!
In today's high-martial arts world, Cao Cao has no shortage of capable people, and he also has the secret treasures of the royal family.
When Lu Jing went on the expedition, he didn't need Fan Xuan to go with him, Zhang Lu left Fan Xuan to guard the main altar in Nanzheng to guard the school mansion assassination.
The three of them exited the main hall.
Lu Jing first asked Xingdu to take the token to rectify the elite of Bing Crow Dao and the five thousand centaurs, and he followed Fan Xuan and Zhang Yulan back to the private residence in the backyard.
In the past few months, Fan Xuan has hoarded a lot of talismans for him, and stuffed them all into his apprentice, while Zhang Yulan prepared some medicine for him.
Wang Shuang and Hu Cong rushed over to meet Lu Jing as soon as they received the news, and went out with them, Lu Jing looked around and didn't see Zhang Qiying.
Zhang Yulan smiled and said, "She has broken through the realm and refined her gods, but her realm is unstable and needs to be consolidated, and she is now practicing the cave retreat." ”
Lu Jing nodded, but he always felt that Zhang Yulan's expression was strange, time was pressing, and it was too late to catch up, so Lu Jing immediately took Wang Shuang, Hu Cong, Xing Du and others to follow the army to the battle.
When I got on the road, I found out the reason for Zhang Yulan's mysterious smile...... Lu Jing looked at the thin and masked soldier crow guards beside him, and was speechless.
"The current Yangpingguan is dangerous......"
"Then I'll ...... too"
Zhang Qiying took off the mask and looked at Lu Jing fixedly, she hadn't seen her for a few months, the youthful innocence in her eyes had faded, and the girl who was ignorant of the world at the beginning became more firm and enthusiastic, and muttered in her mouth: "I don't want to wait for your news in Motianling anymore, it feels very difficult...... If she can help, I can help too......"
Well?
Lu Jing's eyelids jumped.
Zhang Qiying stopped looking at him, pouted and put on the mask again, and said in a muffled voice: "I have broken through the refining god, [Xiaodu Gongyin] can trap stronger people, I will definitely be able to help!" ”
“……”
It seems that he has eaten the scales, Lu Jing was silent for a moment, he could only sigh, and instructed: "Cao Cao is still very terrible to treat the enemy, I don't know what the school government will do, don't get too far away from me when you go to the battlefield, don't take off your mask, and don't let go out of the big tent easily!" ”
"Hmm!"
Zhang Qiying saw that Lu Jing didn't pick her up, so naturally she agreed to any conditions, and the pretty face behind the mask showed a smile.
A few days later.
The army arrived at Yangping Pass.
Under the order of Zhang Wei, the army left 30,000 to defend the city, and divided 20,000 camps under the Nanshan and Beishan tun outside the Yangping Pass, and began to build the city wall, laid down the talisman array, and built the city wall for more than ten miles along the mountainside in one go, running through the north and south mountain passes, so that the Cao army could only charge from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain, and the terrain was very favorable to the Hanzhong army.
Lu Jing also led the army to camp on Nanshan, and the camp was next to Yang Ren's soldiers and horses.
The pattern here is somewhat like Luofeng Slope, all of which are surrounded by high mountains and steep roads, and the roads are difficult and dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
If the enemy wants to attack the city, he must first capture the defensive camp, but attacking at the bottom of the mountain is equivalent to looking for a shot, and there are Ma Chao, Zhang Wei, etc. to assist in the defense, Cao Cao's army can not be used, can only fight generals, one eliminates the other, Cao's army is not good at food and grass, the army is waiting for work, this battle is really fought.
- It turns out that there are not so many wine bags and rice bags, Zhang Wei's ability is not small, just looking at this situation is really quite impressive.
Lu Jing looked at the terrain and knew it in his heart, and while waiting for the vanguard of the Cao army to come over, he asked Xingdu to lead the soldiers and Crow Dao disciples to inquire about the surrounding situation.
Cao Cao's army came quickly.
Zhang Wei, Ma Chao and others had just arrived outside Yangping Pass for less than ten days before the fortifications were completed, and Cao Cao's vanguard troops, Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He, who had set off from Chang'an, had already crossed the river and camped fifteen miles away from Yangping Pass, waiting for the Chinese army led by Cao Cao.
At the same time, the punishment also reported the Nanshan, Beishan and the surrounding environment outside the Guanxi in detail, and there was an interesting piece of information among them.
- There are thousands of wild elk growing in the eastern foothills of Nanshan Mountain!
Lu Jing looked at the letter in his hand, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "God help me, since this is the case, let's give them a meeting gift first......
……
Fifteen miles outside Yangping Pass.
Xiahou Yuan's big tent.
Zhang He stood at the bottom, awe-inspiring like a bronze statue, majestic, and a middle-aged fierce general kneeled on one knee, this person's surname is Zhu Mingling, although his reputation is not as good as Zhang He and Xu Huang, but he is also a famous general under Cao Cao, and reported to Xiahou Yuanyu: "General Yu, the army slaughtered more than 10,000 Qiang alien races in the next debate, and collected more than 100,000 pieces of grain, which has been all escorted here, and it can solve the urgent need!" ”
Xiahou Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this: "General Zhu, please hurry up, this matter will be given to me to Duke Wei, and I will ask for credit for you!" ”
At this time, Xiahou Yuan swept away the Qiang tribe, northwest of Weizhen, and already had the reputation of "Hubu Pass Right".
Cao Cao praised it greatly, saying that it had been wiped out in one fell swoop as a bandit in the northwest that had been in turmoil for more than 30 years, and it was invincible like a tiger that ran rampant on the right side of the pass.
Quoting Confucius's words, "I am not as good as you" and sighing to myself.
Previously, Xiahou Yuan slaughtered the Qiang people repeatedly, firstly, to prepare for the clearance of the grain road, but also to save them from robbing the road and destroying the military aircraft, and secondly, to accumulate military supplies and provide grain and grass for Cao Cao's army to go south - the grain transported from Guanzhong is all mountain roads, even if it is now in the autumn harvest season in August, there is no shortage of grain, and it is very difficult to escort, and it is more convenient to rob on the spot!
That's what Zhu Ling did.
If he did it, it would save a lot of trouble when Cao Cao came.
Zhu Ling grinned and stood up.
Xiahou Yuan glanced outside the tent, it was already dark, and said: "It's late at night, it's hard to kill the enemy and transport grain, General Zhu go down and rest." ”
Zhu Ling hugged his fists and said, "Yes!" The last will be retired. ”
Waiting for Zhu Ling to leave the big tent, Zhang He hesitated and said: "General, the army has traveled far here, and the people are sleepy and the horses are lacking, so we must prevent robbing the village." ”
Xiahou Yuan sneered: "Just Zhang Wei? I have repaired the city wall for more than ten miles, and I am so cowardly that I have the courage to attack my camp. ”
Zhang He said: "Zhang Lu also has Ma Chao and Yang Bai, all of whom are people who know the soldiers, so it's better to be cautious." ”
“……”
Yang Bai is still second, but Ma Chao is not small.
Xiahou Yuan frowned and thought for a while: "That's it, since that's the case, then order 3,000 people to guard the camp in case of an emergency." ”
Zhang He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The last general will take the order, and I will go down to prepare." ”
Zhang He withdrew from the big tent of the Chinese army and looked up at the sky, the night was deep, and the full moon was hanging high.
He called the deputy general Gao Zuo, and was about to ask some people to rise up on guard, when suddenly there was a big earthquake and trembling, and there was a loud rumbling sound in the distance, and the earth shook the mountains!
Zhang He was taken aback and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?" Watch out for enemy attacks! ”
The deputy general Gao Zuo followed the prestige, his face changed greatly, and the rest of the guards couldn't help but widen their eyes and were dumbfounded when they saw the situation in the distance!
I saw that there were thousands of elk on the avenue rushing over, their eyes were blood-red, the speed was fast, with antlers, unscrupulously rushing into the camp, for a while, Yo You deer roared one after another, and the formation was like a thousand troops......
