> "Okay, don't put on this look there, you want to be seen and think I'm bullying you." I really want to bully you, a great master of the Transformation Stage, but unfortunately I don't have the ability. ”

Ma Fan smiled and said, "It's not easy for the eldest brother to bully the younger brother, but it's just reluctant!"

Zhang Lu smiled and said, "Are you here today to explain this matter to me? If so, these troublesome people today said that it is rare for our brothers to be together, first come to eat some dried fruits, taste this fine wine, and then have a meal together." ”

Ma Fan listened to Zhang Lu's words, immediately put away his smile, and said respectfully: "Please also ask the eldest brother to abandon the left and right first." ”

When Zhang Lu saw that Ma Fan was so formal, he immediately nodded and said, "You all go down first!"

The beautiful waiters who were waiting rushed out until they were confirmed to have left, but Ma Fan arranged another talisman to prevent eavesdropping and detection, and then said to Zhang Lu: "The younger brother is here to explain to the eldest brother what happened yesterday, but since the eldest brother trusts and does not plan to ask, the younger brother will not say it again." In addition, the younger brother came today to bid farewell to the eldest brother. ”

"Resign, where is the virtuous brother going, how long will it take?" Zhang Lu also asked nervously.

Ma Fan said: "Our people have found Hua Tuo's whereabouts, so the younger brother wants to take his wife to Jiangdong to meet the party." ”

"Alas, although I know that you and your brother and sister are not husband and wife, but they have suffered great hardships together, and their relationship is still above that of ordinary husband and wife, you should seek medical treatment for them. However, except for the trip to Jiangdong. Is there really nothing that can be done?"

Ma Fan nodded and said, "I killed Li Yuanhua yesterday." I used the soul search method, but I got a lot of things, exercises, refining tools, and alchemy methods, but I didn't get the two Shushan True Transmission Secret Methods I wanted.

It's too difficult to get those two secret methods, and if you get them, you may not be able to comprehend them, and if you understand them, they may not be useful, although my wife's condition has stabilized for the time being because of the kindness of my eldest brother, but it will definitely continue to deteriorate in two or three years, so I want to take advantage of the peace in the next few years. Take her to the hospital first. ”

Zhang Lu hesitated slightly, and said slowly: "This time the Nanban is very powerful, Liu Zhang and the Shushan faction may not be able to repel them in a year or two, and they will also be greatly damaged after being repulsed." It will take a few years to recover, but it should not be invaded, and the north is even more chaotic, and the princes of the north will not invade for a while, and it is not bad to say that the next few years will be peaceful.

But Brother Xian, is it really impossible for us to send troops at such a good time?"

Ma Fan said: "It's okay to send troops to the north of the road, and you should be able to grab some territory, but once you get the territory outside Yangping Pass, you may be able to confront Ma Teng, Han Sui, Liu Biao, Zhang Xiu, and the small court of the Han Dynasty at any time, and those places are not as good for defense as Hanzhong." It takes a large number of soldiers and horses to be able to hold it, and there are not too many soldiers and horses in Hanzhong today, if you are dragged too much strength in those places, I am afraid that you will not be able to do anything, and if you are not careful, if you are not careful, if you are hit by something, I am afraid that there will be a danger of destruction.

To the south, now Liu Zhang has not yet reached the point of exhaustion, there are 20,000 heavy troops in Jiameng Pass to guard us, and there are generals such as Yan Yan to guard it. With Yang Huai's assistance, even if we do our best of the 50,000 soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, it is really difficult to do anything, but it is just a sudden flying soldier to strengthen food and grass.

In this way, it is better to recuperate internally and train soldiers and horses diligently. And let the six internal management departments work as soon as possible and play a huge role. After a year or two, when the battle situation in the south of Xichuan is unfavorable, the manpower of Jiamengguan will be transferred to support, or when they relax their vigilance. ”

Zhang Lu said: "Brother Xian's analysis is reasonable, so let's do this, but if Brother Xian leaves, how would it be good to encounter a powerful monk like Li Yuanhua to attack again?"

Ma Fan said: "Big brother, don't worry, there are less than ten masters in the Shushan faction, and now that Li Yuanhua is dead, Xu Feng has rebelled, and there are only six or seven masters in the Tribulation Period." These people need at least three or four people to sit on the battlefield of the Southern Barbarians, and the Shushan faction also needs someone to watch the house, and they can't take out too many people.

And I asked my eldest brother to abandon the left and right because I didn't want people to know that I was good, I only hired a carriage, traveled secretly on a bicycle, and claimed to be in retreat.

I think that with my past reputation and yesterday's battle, I should be able to deter many people, as long as people don't know that I have left Hanzhong, even if there are a few monks in the Tribulation Period who can spare their hands, I am afraid that they will not dare to come easily.

There is a trap camp and Ruan Ji to assist Sheng Er, and there is nothing to fear when the master of the general god transformation period comes, there is really a master of the tribulation period to offend, just let the thunder roar out and block it. ”

After a moment of silence, he asked, "When is Brother Xian going to leave?"

Ma Fan said: "I'm afraid it's been these days." ”

"So fast?" Zhang Lu said in surprise.

Ma Fan said a little embarrassed: "Actually, it doesn't hurt to stay a few days at night, but it's no different if I stay a few more days and leave a few days early, it's better to leave quickly in these days." ”

Zhang Lu sighed and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't say anything more." But Sheng'er doesn't have to stay, you take him out with you for a long time!"

Ma Fan knew that Zhang Lu was afraid that Zhang Sheng would be in danger if he stayed in Hanzhong, and he would be safer to follow him, so he would say so, but he didn't break it, and nodded: "That's fine!"

"Well, I am still relieved most of the things you do, but you have to remember one thing. Zhang Lu suddenly narrowed his eyes, and a trace of sternness and even coldness flashed on his face.

Ma Fan said: "Please also ask the eldest brother for advice?"

Zhang Lu said: "It's okay to be affectionate, and I also like people who are affectionate." But there should be a little bit of a degree.

I hope that Brother Xian will prepare for the worst in his heart, and if you can heal your brother and sister's injuries when you go to Jiangdong, it will naturally be a good thing. But if you go to Jiangdong and find Hua Tuo and can't cure it, then you can't have any unpleasant emotions because of this, or even decadence because of it.

Virtuous brother, you have a great future, you must not ruin yourself for the sake of women. ”

"Don't worry, big brother, I'm measured. Ma Fan nodded and said.

"That's good, I don't have any special meaning, but I see that many young talents are trapped and ruined by love, so I say a few words about the virtuous brother like this,......" The latter words, Zhang Lu did not say it.

Ma Fan hurriedly said: "I know, the eldest brother is really my own brother, I will say these words to me, no matter what happens in the future, I will not be angry and resentful of the eldest brother, some will only be grateful." ”

After saying Ma Fan's words, Zhang Lu suddenly laughed and said: "I know that my brother must be able to understand my brother's hard work." Hehe, Hua Tuo's medical skills are excellent, and the virtuous brother will definitely be able to return satisfied. ”

Ma Fan also smiled and said, "Brother Xie Jiyan." ”

Zhang Lu nodded and asked: "From Hanzhong to Jiangdong, there are waterways and waterways, as well as land routes, I don't know which way the virtuous brother wants to go?"

Ma Fan thought for a while and said: "Although my wife's injuries are temporarily suppressed and will not deteriorate, her body is extremely weak, so Ma Fan decided to take a relatively gentle and fast waterway into Jiangdong. ”

Zhang Lu nodded and said: "This is also a good choice, but there are many places to enter the Yangtze River by water, I don't know where the virtuous brother plans to take the boat?"

Ma Fan smiled and said, "I don't know if the eldest brother has any suggestions?"

Zhang Lu thought for a while, and then said: "If according to my meaning, the virtuous brother Bufan first went to Dujiangyan at the mouth of the Guan River to take a boat down the Min River, and then went to Selangor and then transferred to a boat down the Yangtze River to Jiangdong. ”...,

Ma Fan knew that the so-called Selangor was Yibin, Ma Fan was not able to visit the famous Dujiangyan in his previous life, and he was a little regretful, he planned to go to see it in this life, so Zhang Lu's proposal was not bad, but Ma Fan still asked: "This road is not the closest, and it has to pass through Liu Zhang's territory, and it is possible to encounter the Shushan faction at any time, and there is a certain danger, why does the eldest brother suggest that the younger brother choose this road?"

Zhang Lu sighed slightly: "Yizhou has Yangping, Wudu, Hanzhong, Brazil, Zitong, Badong, Guanghan, Fuling, Jiangyang, Jiwei, Hanjia, Shu, Yongchang, Yunnan, Jianning, Xinggu, Zhuti, Xiangke, Yuejun and other counties.

Wudu County is in the hands of Ma Teng, Yunnan, Jianning, Xinggu, Zhuti, Xiangke, Yuejun and other seven counties are occupied by Nanban, I occupy Hanzhong, Brazil two counties, while Liu Zhang has Zitong, Badong, Guanghan, Fuling, Jiangyang, Jiwei, Hanjia, Shu, Yongchang and other nine counties, and the two counties against nine counties, I have always had to be careful.

The reason why I can still fight Liu Zhang now is that the Wudoumi Sect members are all over Yizhou, but the more important thing is that Liu Zhang is incompetent and unpopular.

I haven't been in Xichuan for several years since I became independent, and I've been hearing reports that Xichuan is living a poor life under Liu Zhang's rule, but looking at the information and listening to people's descriptions, I never know what Xichuan is like in my heart, and the virtuous brother is now assisting me against Xichuan, and I can't help but understand the opponent, so I think it's good to take this opportunity to see the situation on Liu Zhang's territory in person.

In addition, Qingcheng Mountain is also on the Minjiang River, and the virtuous brother can also secretly observe the Qingchengzhi branch led by Fan Changsheng by the way, see what kind of attitude this branch has towards the Wudoumi Sect, and see if there is any possibility to reintegrate into the sect.

In addition, taking this route may not be able to get a closer look at the extent of Liu Zhang's battle with Nanban.

And the speed of this road is not much slower than the rest of the road, which can be said to be more than one stone.

Of course, if Brother Xian has other considerations, then you don't have to listen to me, and you can take other paths. ”

Ma Fan said with a smile: "Alas, the eldest brother really doesn't give up any opportunity to squeeze me! But since the eldest brother has said so many benefits of taking this road, the younger brother will choose this path!"

Hearing Ma Fan's response, Zhang Lu suddenly smiled and said: "Okay, since the virtuous brother is leaving, our brother should drink happily today, and don't get drunk and don't return." ”

Ma Fan nodded with a smile, and then the two didn't say anything about traveling, only drinking and chatting about some interesting things. (To be continued......)
