Sending Gu Cheng away, Lu Fan found Qin Yu and asked, "Has Liang Dong recruited him?" ”

"Recruited."

Qin Yu nodded, "According to what he said, it was Liu Dai who took the initiative to find him and asked him to do the internal response." ”

"At the right opportunity, create chaos and find a way to open the gates."

"He was supposed to go to see Liu Dai in person that day, but there was something temporary, so he arranged for Tian Li to go on his behalf."

"I didn't expect Tian Li to have an accident that night, he didn't dare to contact Liu Dai again, and he also dispelled the idea of doing internal response for Chu State."

After a pause, Qin Yu continued: "I look at him, it doesn't look like he is lying. ”

"Hmm."

Lu Fan asked again: "Does he know where Liu Dai went?" ”

"He doesn't know."

Qin Yu shook his head slightly, "However, based on his guess, it is very likely that Liu Dai secretly returned to the Chu State." ”

"What is Liu Dai's identity?"

Lu Fan frowned, "In addition to Liu Dai, who else has Liang Dong been in contact with?" ”

"It is said that Liu Dai is the intelligence officer installed by the Chu State in the Great Zhou."

Qin Yu said: "In charge of all the intelligence points of the Chu State in Great Zhou, except for her, Liang Dong has never been in contact with anyone again. In my estimation, after Liu Dai left, she may have taken all the clues away, including those eyeliners of Chu State. ”

"yes."

Lu Fan sighed: "After all, too much time has passed, and there is enough time for the other party to destroy all clues, including people." ”

"My lord, should I continue to stare at the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion?"

Qin Yu proposed: "Maybe there is still the eyeliner left over from the Chu State." ”

"Let's put it for now, I have more important tasks for you."

As he spoke, Lu Fan took out a letter and handed it to Qin Yu, "You go to Wind Thunder City on my behalf and give this letter to Lord Yuan." ”

"Yes."

Qin Yu put away the letter and left.

Half an hour later.

Commander's House.

Lu Fan and Zhao Fei sat facing each other.

He was the only one in the room.

"Your Excellency."

Lu Fan said with a smile: "Shu also accepted our conditions and asked us for peace. ”

"Good!"

Zhao Fei was overjoyed, "In this way, the Chu State will be difficult to support alone, and it will no longer be able to turn over much wind and waves, what are your plans next?" ”

"I want to unite the two countries of Shu and Yue and attack the state of Chu at the same time."

Lu Fan said: "Through a decisive battle, the threat of Chu State will be completely resolved. ”

"As it should be."

Zhao Fei nodded, "If we don't get rid of this threat, the Chu State may stab us in the back at any time, so that we don't dare to send troops north to support." ”

"I want to send troops in a month."

Lu Fan said his plan, "Our three border armies, each with 40,000 troops and a total of 120,000 troops, set out from Zhennan Pass to attack the Chu State. ”

"No problem."

Zhao Fei said with a smile: "Our soldiers have long been prepared, let alone 40,000 people, even if it is 60,000, it will be no problem." ’

"It doesn't take that much."

Lu Fan waved his hand, "The soldiers are expensive, and there are 120,000 elites in the Great Zhou." ”

"Okay, I'll give you 5,000 Xuanjia Army, 5,000 elite soldiers of the Thousand Machine Battalion, and 3,000 Guards Battalion, plus 20,000 elite infantry."

Zhao Fei said, "You bring all the Dragon Shadow Guards with you." ”

"All of them are the elite of my Zhennan Army."

"For the remaining 10,000 baggage troops, I will also arrange the best for you."

Speaking of this, Zhao Fei looked at Lu Fan with a smile, "How?" ”

"That's very good."

Lu Fan readily agreed.

"The success or failure of this battle is related to the battle situation of our entire Great Zhou."

Zhao Fei sighed: "And you are the most critical point in this battle, it can be said that success or failure is all up to you." ”

"We're all or nothing."

"If it happens, it will turn the tide of the war."

"If we lose, we will lose everything."

"I trust your abilities, but to be on the safe side, I'll try to arrange a helper for you."

"Xu Mingyang, Zhou Wanjun, Qin Huinan, Gu Changting, Xu Zhao, all follow you to fight."

"You have full command over them and the more than 40,000 soldiers."

"I'll stay at Zhennanguan."

"After all, this is your retreat."

Zhao Fei's face was inexplicably a little more pathetic, "Even if I die, I will defend this retreat for you." As long as I am here, Zhennan Pass will never be lost! ”

"Okay, with the words of the adult, I have no worries."

Lu Fan knew in his heart that if he wanted to capture the Chu State, it would never be a matter of a day or two, or even a few months.

A lot can happen during this time.

Especially in the northern war, once the balance is broken, the enemy army may swing its troops south and take Zhennan Pass directly.

If Zhennan Pass is captured, the hundreds of thousands of Great Zhou elites led by Lu Fan will have no way to retreat.

Then it will be a lone army that goes deep into the Chu State, and it will be extremely difficult.

But as long as Zhennan is closed, they will be at ease.

Because that's their home, there's no substitute for it.

……

……

More than 20 days have passed in the blink of an eye.

It was the morning of September 30th.

There are only seven days left before the agreed time for the dispatch of troops.

The Zhennan Army was ready, just waiting for the other two border armies to come and make peace.

Lu Fan, as usual, practiced swords in the courtyard.

"Whew!"

With the sound of gusts of wind, the clouds in the sky converged towards Lu Fan's head.

Converge into a thin layer of clouds.

The invisible power, surging with the wind towards Lu Fan, merged with him.

Make his sword moves even more powerful.

Starry Sky Sword Trick Xiaocheng!

After more than a month of hard work, Lu Fan finally upgraded the Starry Sky Sword Technique.

Open the Properties panel.

Name: Lu Fan

Lifespan: 18/2680

Power: 524.75

Dexterity: 211.18

Mental Power: 212.39

Physical strength: 631.64

Cultivation is: Innate realm

Exercises: The Eleventh Weight of the Tao Sutra (28430/50000)

Martial Arts: Starry Sky Sword Technique (0/20)

Assignable attribute points: 712.26

After leveling up, Lu Fan's strength increased by 32 points, agility increased by 8 points, mental power increased by 16 points, and physical strength increased by 8 points.

Coupled with the various attributes that he usually increases, his strength has greatly improved.

What's more, the power of his sword moves has been greatly enhanced compared to before.

Go on!

Lu Fan knew very well that the most critical point of this battle still lay in him.

It's about how far he can go.

As long as he is strong enough, this battle will be won.

He wasn't worried.

After all, he still has such assignable attributes, and he can add points at any time to instantly increase his strength and turn the tide of the battle.

"Lu Fan."

Liu Mei came out of the house with a sword, "Come, let's talk again, I have a new understanding of the Starry Sky Sword Technique." ”

"Okay."

Lu Fan has often been in conflict with Liu Mei recently, and he can also benefit from it.

As soon as the words fell, he slashed out with a sword in his hand, and suddenly there were stars.

Even the sky was getting darker.

It was as if night was coming, and countless stars were shining in the sky.

Starry Sky Sword Technique!

"Huh?"

Liu Mei was surprised.

Even though she was used to Lu Fan's growth, she still felt incredible.

It's just because this sword has surpassed her comprehension of the Starry Sky Sword Technique.

This guy!

It can really undermine people's confidence.

Slandering in his heart, Liu Mei slashed out with a sword.

"Boom!"

The powerful sword intent rushed out, like a chopping wave, and slashed towards Lu Fan.

But in the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace.

The starry sky suddenly fell, and countless starlights sprinkled down and shone on Liu Mei.

Liu Mei was as if he had been hit hard, and his body retreated again and again.

Lu Fan put away the sword, and the starlight disappeared with it.

"Alas!"

Liu Mei couldn't help but sigh.

The fight in the past few days has made her realize Lu Fan's strength.

In front of Lu Fan, she had no power to fight back.

The gap is too big.

This is still the case when Lu Fan didn't use all his strength.

Just now, Lu Fan just made a random sword, and she couldn't resist it.

If it weren't for Lu Fan's mercy and not using much force, I'm afraid this sword would have killed her.

Before she came, Liu Mei couldn't have imagined that in just over a year, the gap between her and Lu Fan was so big.

The most important thing is that she has not been idle this year.

Not only is he in retreat, but he is also practicing the Heavenly Rank Sword Technique.

Supposedly, the gap should be smaller.

Can ...... now Liu Mei couldn't even test Lu Fan's true strength.

According to her estimate, Lu Fan had at least reached the Innate Three Realms, or even the Innate Four Realms of cultivation.

This strength makes her unable to make a little comparison.

No wonder Lu Fan was able to lead the army to win successive battles, it turned out to be because of this strong strength.

When Lu Fan practices the Starry Sky Sword Technique for a while longer, his strength will definitely go further.

At that time, maybe the situation in Da Zhou can really be reversed.

She is full of confidence in Lu Fan at the moment.

"Since your comprehension of the Starry Sky Sword Technique has surpassed mine, then I won't hide it."

Liu Mei came back to his senses and said, "I'll tell you all the rest of the mantras, you can enlighten yourself." ”

"Okay."

Lu Fan has this intention.

"Listen up."

Liu Mei reminded and began to recite the rest of the mantra.

Lu Fan wrote it down with his heart and engraved it deeply in his mind.

At this point, this set of heaven-level sword techniques can be regarded as completely mastered, and all that remains is to cultivate it to perfection.

At that time, how far will his strength be improved?

Lu Fan had a little more expectation in his heart.

"By the way, do you know the current situation in the capital?"

Liu Mei suddenly brought up the topic.

"All I know is that the capital is under siege."

Lu Fan shook his head lightly, "As for the specific details, I don't know anything." ”

"I know a little bit about it, too."

Liu Mei dragged Lu Fan to the pavilion in the courtyard, "Come, sit down and talk." ”

"Okay."

The two sat down facing each other.

Liu Mei sorted out his thoughts for a moment and said: "Although the capital is besieged, it is not completely besieged, Qin and Qi only surrounded the city gate in the south and cut off all the passages in the south. ”

"You lost contact with the capital."

"But at the same time, they set aside the gate on the north side of the capital, as if it was deliberate."

"It doesn't seem to be worried about the retreat of the Great Zhou army, and I don't care that reinforcements are coming from the north."

Liu Mei analyzed: "The main reason, of course, is that the capital is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is impossible for Qin and Qi to break through the capital, and they are also waiting." ”

"When the battle in the north is over, the Wei State, the Xia State, and the Yan State will go south together, and then encircle the capital, and attack at the same time, even if the capital is strong, it will not be able to hold on for too long."

"Therefore, the two countries of Qin and Qi only besieged the capital, only engaged in tentative siege warfare, and did not launch a large-scale battle."

Speaking of this, Liu Mei looked at Lu Fan the same, "The current situation in the capital is fine, as long as the battle situation in the north can be stabilized, the capital will be worry-free." ”

"Hmm."

Lu Fan agreed with Liu Mei's analysis and added: "There is another reason, the reason why the enemy army kept the north city gate was to deliberately leave a retreat channel, so that the Great Zhou army could evacuate, so that the enemy army could easily occupy the capital." ”

"But with the emperor's wisdom, it is absolutely impossible to give up the capital."

"If the capital is lost, it will be too difficult to get it back."

"Moreover, the battle situation in the north is scorching, and the enemy knows that it is impossible for the north to draw reinforcements and return to the capital, so it is so unscrupulous."

"The most important thing is that if the enemy army surrounds the capital, it may inspire all the forces in the capital to unite and unite with the Great Zhou army to form a counterattack."

"With the 600,000 troops of Qin and Qi, even if they can be stopped, they will suffer heavy losses."

Lu Fan said: "So, they don't dare to push too hard. ”

"That's right, you're right."

Liu Mei nodded, "The most critical point now is that you and the north, whoever breaks this deadlock first will be able to occupy a favorable situation." ”

"Hmm."

Lu Fan has long figured out this problem, and everything he is doing so far is to break the game.

As for how far he can go, it depends on how far his strength can grow.

If he could reach the Innate Nine Realms, or even higher, then all the problems would be solved.

With his current cultivation speed, it didn't seem to be that difficult.

……

……

Three days later, Liu Feng led the Southeast Army Long Yingwei and arrived at Zhennan Pass.

The other two commanders, Zhao Jin and Sui Meng, also arrived at the same time with their troops.

40,000 elites of the Southeast Army!

Immediately afterwards, Gu Cheng led 40,000 southwest troops to Zhennan Pass.

Together with the Zhennan Army, which had already been prepared, the 120,000-strong army had been assembled.

A great war is coming.

That same evening.

Commander's House.

Lu Fan, Zhao Fei, Ye Wuchen, Xu Mingyang, Zhou Wanjun, Qin Huinan, Gu Changting, Xu Zhao, Liu Feng, Zhao Jin, Sui Meng, Gu Cheng, a total of twelve people, sat together.

The table was full of food and drink.

This dinner is both a reception wine and a strong wine.

may have thought of the upcoming battle, and everyone's faces were a little solemn.

Except for Zhao Fei, everyone else has to go to the battlefield together to face the most difficult challenges.

Perhaps, this will be the last time they will sit together.

The situation of the battle is unpredictable, and even if they are high-ranking generals, they may not be able to return safely.

What's more, the danger of this battle is far greater than the rest.

If you are not careful, you will be wiped out.

After all, neither their strength nor strength was enough to capture the Chu State.

If it weren't for Lu Fan and Shu Yue, there would be no chance of winning this battle.

Even if there is Lu Fan and two allies jointly sending troops, in the eyes of everyone, the certainty of victory is less than fifty percent.

What's more, the two countries of Shu and Yue may have evil intentions and are secretly calculating them.

But the battle is inevitable.

There is no way back for them!

No matter how dangerous the lie ahead, they have to step over it.

Wait, that is, to die.

Take the initiative to attack, and you can also find a glimmer of life.

Since both horizontal and vertical are dead, it is better to die vigorously!

"Everyone!"

Zhao Fei picked up his wine glass and looked around at everyone, "I wish you all the best if you take the Chu State as soon as possible and return triumphantly." ”

"Good!"

Everyone raised their glasses.

In the midst of the staggering, everyone gradually relaxed, chatted and laughed with each other, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

After a long time, Zhao Fei motioned for everyone to be quiet, and proposed: "Tomorrow morning, you come over again, and we will set the battle plan." ”

"I'll give you another suggestion by the way."

"After all, we are three border armies, and although we are jointly sending troops, it is inevitable that there will be inconsistencies between them."

"I suggest that one of you be selected as the commander to coordinate your actions."

Speaking of this, Zhao Fei glanced at everyone and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"I already have a choice in mind."

Gu Cheng answered: "In my opinion, Lu Fan is the most suitable. ”

"That's right, just Lu Fan."

"Except for Lu Fan, no one can convince the public anymore."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"That's good."

Zhao Fei turned his head to look at Lu Fan, "Since you all agree, then Lu Fan will be the main general, command the three armies, and send troops to attack Chu!" ”

"Good!"

Everyone agreed in unison.

"I propose, let's toast Lu Fan with a glass of wine."

Zhao Fei picked up his glass again and said, "If we want to win this battle, we must work together and act in unison. I hope that you can focus on the overall situation and assist Lu Fan to complete the feat of cutting Chu. ”

"Don't worry."

"No problem."

Everyone raised their wine glasses and said to Lu Fan, "Lord Lu, I respect you." ”

"I'll respect you."

Lu Fan stood up and faced everyone, "Thanks to your love, I don't dare to shirk the position of the main general." I would like to assure you that I will do my best to achieve success. ”

"For me, I can't afford to lose."

"This is especially true for Da Zhou."

"You only need to win, not lose."

"I believe that as long as you work together with me, there is no battle that we cannot win."

"Whether it is the State of Chu or the State of Qin and the State of Qi in the future, they will all be trampled under our feet!"

Speaking of this, Lu Fan picked up his wine glass, "I'll do it first as respect!" ”

"Well said!"

"That's how bold you should be!"

"We believe in you!"

"Cheers!"

The atmosphere was even more enthusiastic.

The people present had all fought side by side with Lu Fan.

Even the lives of most of them were saved by Lu Fan.

If there was no Lu Fan, these border cities would have been broken a long time ago, how could there be today's wine banquet?

And they have long been the generals of the defeated army.

Die or flee.

Even the Great Zhou may be on the verge of extinction.

They always firmly believe that if there is one person who can save Da Zhou, that person must be Lu Fan!

……

……

Three days later, on the sixth day of October.

The day before the departure of the army.

Morning.

Liu Mei packed up her things, knocked on the door of Lu Fan's room, and came to say goodbye to Lu Fan, "I'm leaving." ”

Somehow, she was a little reluctant.

Moreover, the more you get to the point of leaving, the more reluctant you become.

It was something she had never felt before.

Even when I was away from home, it wasn't so strong.

She had to go.

Lu Fan is about to go to the battlefield, and she also has her things to do.

But the two have the same purpose.

All to win this war!

The Great Zhou is not only the Great Zhou of the royal family, nor only the Great Zhou of those families, but also thousands of ordinary people, who are about to fall into the flames of war.

She couldn't just watch Da Zhou fall into a desperate situation and do nothing.

So, here she comes.

And because of this, she had to go.

She believes that there are many people who think the same way as her.

Even if she didn't make a move now, when Da Zhou needed it most, there would be countless people like her who would stand up.

Do something for the big week.

Especially those young people with enthusiasm, they will never watch the Great Zhou Dynasty die.

"I'll send you."

Lu Fan got up, accompanied Liu Mei, and walked out.

"Okay."

Liu Mei did not refuse, and there was even a little joy in her heart.

Two months of getting along with each other has benefited her a lot.

Her strength has grown rapidly.

At the same time, the gap between her and Lu Fan seemed to be disappearing little by little.

In front of Lu Fan, she had already taken off all her disguises.

Cold, haughty, all gone.

The aura of that genius girl has long since faded.

Now she thinks of herself as an ordinary girl and comes to say goodbye to her friends.

Lu Fan and Liu Mei didn't speak again, as if they were savoring the parting emotion.

When passing by the living room, Liu Mei glanced at Ye Wuchen, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, and whispered, "I'm leaving." ”

Ye Wuchen opened his eyes and nodded slightly, "Have a good trip." ”

"Okay."

Liu Mei smiled and looked gentle.

Then she turned her head and walked out of the living room side by side with Lu Fan.

The two seemed to be getting closer and closer, and the gap between them gradually disappeared.

Seeing this, Ye Wuchen frowned slightly, and there was a little more worry in his eyes.

He could feel the change in his eyebrows the most.

Moreover, he also knew why Liu Mei had changed.

When a person is willing to put down his body for another person and keeps pandering, it means that the person has already been deeply involved in it, and he does not know it.

Lu Fan, this guy!

What a blessing!

Even if Ye Wuchen is light and light, he is a little envious of Lu Fan at this time.

Regardless of family background, talent, appearance, figure, and even the teacher, Liu Mei can be regarded as one of the best people in the entire Great Zhou.

If you want to say that you can be worthy of Lu Fan, Liu Mei is definitely the first one.

But what about his sister?

Is there still a chance?

Forget it, now is not the time to think about it.

Presumably, Lu Fan can't take care of his children's personal affairs at this time.

The big war is about to start, why do you want to do so much?

Let's survive first.

Ye Wuchen hurriedly put those thoughts behind him.

Lu Fan kept sending Liu Mei out of the barracks, and the two never spoke on the way.

Standing at the gate of the barracks, Lu Fan faced Liu Mei and said, "I'll send you here, you be careful all the way, we'll see you again in the future." ”

"Hmm."

Liu Mei nodded, "You have to be more careful, when you get to the battlefield, remember not to rush to win, you still have to be safe." ”

"Remember, in particular, there is hope when you live!"

"So, you must survive."

"When you can't do anything, even if you escape, you have to save your life."

Liu Mei kept looking at Lu Fan's eyes and sighed, "How good would it be if you were given a few more years to grow?" ”

"Don't worry, I'm desperate."

Lu Fan shook his head lightly, "Although the battlefield is cruel, it is also an extremely rare opportunity for me to experience. If it weren't for this big battle, my strength wouldn't be where it is now. ”

"It's even less likely to get your help."

"The Starry Sky Sword Technique is very important to me."

"I know very well in my heart that you also took a great risk to give me the Starry Sky Sword Technique."

"If you are found out in the future, maybe you will be held accountable by the teacher."

"But don't worry, I won't use this sword technique until I have to."

"Even if I use it, I won't let people see that I'm using the Starry Sky Sword Technique."

Lu Fan said: "When I become more familiar with the Starry Sky Sword Technique, I will transform it a little and turn it into another set of sword techniques, even sword techniques." ”

"Well, I believe you."

Liu Mei felt a little warmer in her heart, and she waved at Lu Fan, "I'm leaving." ”

After saying that, she left without looking back.
