Gaowu Three Kingdoms: Starting from the Five Dou Rice Religion

Chapter 109 Return (4.2k)

Lu Jing killed Luo Fu with all four swords, and knelt down in front of Yan Yan to check his chest injury.

Yan Ling and Yi Guanqi watched him nervously.

"Dahe Sword" is the secret of the Luofu Sword Sect, once it is hit, the sword energy will remain in the body, like a gangrene attached to the bone, it will not go away, only the same kind of true energy can be drawn out.

Lu Jing stretched out his hand and lightly pressed Yan Yan's chest, and the great Wuxiang zhenqi quickly transformed into a simulation, and then he swung his hand and sucked it in. A sword qi flew out accompanied by blood, smashing a thick tree beside him.

Yan Yan's complexion gradually improved.

Yan Ling and Yi Guanqi breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Jingdao: "It's almost late. When I left the customs today, I asked the Venerable Master specifically, and found out that the one who died that day was a disciple of Jianzong, and Zuo Ci was the previous head of Jianzong. They had conspired with Liu Bei a long time ago. They should have told you. It’s better to take precautions early, blame me.”

Yan Ling shook his head and said: "It's none of your business, you were injured so badly, the Venerable Master didn't want you to think about it too much, delaying the healing, or...he didn't expect these masters to act so lowly and end up in person, it's shameless! "

Yi Guanqi took it very seriously, and snorted coldly: "With the method of 'Luofu Sword Immortal', even if they have been on guard for a long time, they can't stop them from entering the city and breaking the formation. Isn't this Liu Bei a treacherous villain? Why are there so many people?" help him?"

Yi Guanqi is puzzled.

This person treats Liu Zhang of the same clan so hypocritically, using his status as a guest general to seek his fortune, how could there be so many people helping him?

Are those people blind?
Lu Jingting looked at the acupoints of Yan Yan's heart, stimulated the medicinal power of the [Good Fortune Pill] in his body, and said casually: "You all know that Cao Cao became the Duke of Wei. Liu Xie has been a puppet plaything in Cao Cao's hands for more than ten years. Seeing that he is about to be replaced, the great Han has been supporting soldiers for 400 years. If those loyal ministers want to rejuvenate the Yan Han, they must find one of Cao Cao's opponents.

Among the heroes of today, Liu Bei is the only one left who is ambitious and a member of the Han family.The more Liu Xie was suppressed, the more clear Liu Bei's banner became.Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, once said: "If it is not the Liu family, the king will be the king, and the world will fight together." Now Cao Cao is about to become the king. "

Lu Jing's explanation was simple and reasonable, and Yi Guanqi suddenly said, "That's how it is."

Yan Ling also understood a little bit, and looked deeply at Lu Jing, looking at his profile.

Lu Jing is still Lu Jing, even if she hides in the mountains for several months, she can still see the whole leopard at a glance, her eyes can't help showing admiration.

Lu Jing withdrew his hands, examined Yan Yan's body carefully, nodded and said, "It's almost done, the rest is to rest and recuperate, we can't stay here for long, we'll go back to Hanzhong right away. Father and Senior Fan..."

"nothing."

Yan Ling said: "The two carriages were originally confusing the public. Since Four Swords came to chase grandfather, then the master's side is fine... Besides, there are third uncles and the others to help, so there should be no serious problems. Maybe we will arrive at the Wind Chanting Pavilion first."

Lu Jing nodded. Their target was Yan Yan, so it was useless to arrest others.

"Let's go then."

Mo Tong grew bigger again, Lu Jing picked up Yan Yan and led the two women onto the back of the snake, Mo Tong raised his head and roared, soaring into the sky, and ran towards Hanzhong.

The situation in Hanzhong was not good at this time.

In order to concentrate on dealing with Cao Cao's personal conquest in the north, Zhang Lu even transferred all the troops from Brazil County, and gathered at Motianling in Nanzheng at this time.

Dao Qi lives forever in the hall.

Zhang Lu rang the bell and beat the drum, and the gathering of civil and military officials was discussing matters. Ma Chao, Yang Song, Yang Bai, Zhang Yulan, Fan Xuan and others were all there.

When everyone was ready, Zhang Wei came out, clasped his fists and said, "I just received an urgent report from Yecheng's soldiers, Cao Cao launched a [-]-thousand westward expedition, and divided his troops into three teams: the front vanguard Xia Houyuan and Zhang He; Cao Cao himself led the generals in the center; Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun in the rear escorted the grain and grass. Now they have left Yecheng."

Zhang Lu nodded, looked at all the civil and military: "What do you think?"

Yan Pu thought for a while, and suggested: "Master, Hanzhong is surrounded by dangerous mountains, and it is difficult for a large army. Cao Cao has elite soldiers and strong generals, but it is difficult to arrange them. If you don't want to go to Qinling Mountains, the most likely situation is to take Chencang Road Go south through Wudu County and attack Yangping Pass. Now you can build more than ten stockades around the pass, surrounded by mountains and forests, and form a piece with the city wall, to face Cao Jun. Also ask generals to guard and lay out formations to seize the enemy. Grain road, cut off the way back!"

Hanzhong is bordered by the Qinling Mountains in the north, Micang Mountain in the south, and the Hanzhong Basin in the middle.

The terrain is high in the north and south, and low in the middle, forming a landform skeleton of "two mountains and one river".

If Cao Cao wanted to attack Hanzhong, he could only attack Yangping Pass by force if he didn't go to the dangerous mountains of Qinling Mountains. Xiongguan is enough to resist.

Zhang Lu also knows his own strengths and weaknesses, and now is a crucial battle. Whether he can get out of Hanzhong and preach in China depends on how this battle is fought.

Zhang Lu immediately sent Zhang Wei, Ma Chao, Yang Bo, Yang Song, Yang Ren and others to lead [-] troops to the expedition, and first went to Yangping Pass to garrison.

Wait for everyone to retreat.

Zhang Lu suddenly felt something in his heart, smiled, and said to Fan Xuan: "Fourth Junior Brother, wait a moment, Dong Ting is back."

"Oh?"

Fan Xuan immediately showed joy, and Zhang Yulan stopped just as she was about to leave.

This kid killed Pang Tong and made so much noise that even [Dao Die] was sentenced to death. He thought he would have a few more days to recover from his injuries, but he didn't expect to come back so soon.

Sure enough, a ghost soldier notified Lu Jing to see him, Zhang Lu raised his hand, and Lu Jing strode into the hall wearing Xiaoyun Armor.

"Disciple Lu Jing, pay homage to Master, Holy Aunt, Master."

Lu Jing saluted one by one, Fan Xuan and Zhang Yulan were relieved to see Lu Jing in good shape.

"Finally back, your master has been worried about you for a long time."

Zhang Lu raised his hand falsely and said, "How is the situation this time when you come back from the south?"

Lu Jing clasped his fists and said: "Bajun fell, the prefect Yan Yan and others have fled to the Nanzheng Fengyin Hall to recuperate, the rest are nothing to worry about. It is a certainty that Zhang Fei and Liu Bei will meet. Now Liu Bei is besieging Chengdu with troops. Zhuge Liang, Fa Just waiting for the top strategists, Wu has Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and other unparalleled warriors, even if Liu Zhang has the city of Chengdu built by Gongsun Shu, but... I am afraid that it will not last long, and Xichuan will eventually fall into Liu Bei's hands."

The most regrettable thing is that the general Zhang Ren died in battle, and the only general under Liu Zhang who could take the lead is gone, and the ending after that is predictable.

"Ugh."

Zhang Lu sighed.

This news also shattered his last illusions.

After all, he has been in Hanzhong for 30 years and has been the "king" for such a long time. Even if he intends to surrender Cao for the sake of preaching and other considerations, he is still unwilling.

Don't think about it now, Hanzhong is under the enemy's back, either surrendering Cao Cao, or surrendering Liu Bei, Liu Bei betrayed his promise, once colluded with Ma Chao, dug his wall, and it is impossible to take refuge in him!

Zhang Lu looked down on Liu Bei's means, and he didn't want to start from scratch with him.

Zhang Lu made up his mind and said to Lu Jing, "You came back at the right time. Now Cao Cao's army is marching westward, and it will arrive at Yangping Pass in a few days. When it's time for you to show off your skills, I promise you two hundred elite soldiers and 5000 troops." People and horses, follow the army to help in the battle, and these people will be under your full command to assist the successor to garrison the city defense."

Zhang Lu threw out a token.

"Yes."

Lu Jing received the order: "Thank you, Master."

He heaved a sigh of relief, finally caught up, whether he can be named a marquis and worship a general in one fell swoop!
In today's high-martial world, Cao Cao's men are full of capable men and strangers, and they also hold the secret treasure of the royal family. If they really try their best, they may not be able to defend it, but they have to let Boss Cao suffer a big loss in order to sell it well. Price.

There is no need for Fan Xuan to go with Lu Jing, Zhang Lu left Fan Xuan to guard the main altar in Nanzheng, guarding against assassination by the school affairs office.

The three exited the hall.

Lu Jing first asked Xingdu to take the token to rectify the elite soldiers and the 5000 troops, and he followed Fan Xuan and Zhang Yulan back to the private residence in the backyard.

In the past few months, Fan Xuan stocked up a lot of talismans for him and gave them all to his disciples, while Zhang Yulan prepared some wound medicine for him.

Wang Shuang and Hu Cong rushed over to join Lu Jing as soon as they received the news, and they set off with them. Lu Jing looked around and saw Zhang Qiying.

Zhang Yulan smiled and said: "She has broken through the realm to cultivate the spirit, but the realm is not stable and needs to be strengthened. Now she is retreating in the practice cave."

Lu Jing nodded, but always felt that Zhang Yulan had a strange expression, time was running out, and it was too late to reminisce. Lu Jing immediately took Wang Shuang, Hu Cong, Xing Du and others to follow the army.

It wasn't until they were on the road that they realized the reason for Zhang Yulan's secretive smile... Lu Jing looked at the thin, masked Bing Ya Dao guards beside him, and was speechless.

"The current Yangping Pass is very dangerous..."

"Then I'll go too..."

Zhang Qiying took off the mask and stared at Lu Jing fixedly. After several months of not seeing each other, the innocence in her eyes has faded. The girl who was ignorant of the world at the beginning has become more determined and enthusiastic, and she murmured: "I don't want to do it again." Waiting for news from you in Motianling, it feels very difficult... If she can help, so can I..."

Ok?
Lu Jing's eyelids twitched.

Zhang Qiying stopped looking at him, pouting and put on the mask again, and said in a muffled voice, "I have already broken through to refine the gods, [Xiaodu Gongyin] can trap stronger people, I will definitely help!"

"..."

It seems that he has eaten the weight. Lu Jing was silent for a moment, he could only sigh, and said: "Cao Cao treats the enemy is still terrible, I don't know what the school will do, don't be too far away from me on the battlefield, don't Take off the mask, and don't easily give a big account!"

"Ok!"

Seeing that Lu Jing didn't push her out, Zhang Qiying naturally agreed to any conditions, and a smile appeared on her pretty face behind the mask.

a few days later.

The army arrived at Yangping Pass.

Meng Fan, the uncle of the Seventh Master, had been guarding the pass for a long time. Under Zhang Wei's order, the army left [-] to guard the city, and divided [-] into several camps in Nanshan and Beishan outside Yangping Pass. They began to build city walls and set up talismans , In one go, a city wall was built for more than ten miles along the mountainside, running through the north and south passes. In this way, Cao Jun could only charge from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain. The terrain was very favorable for the Hanzhong army.

Lu Jing also led his army to station on Nanshan, and the camp was next to Yang Ren's soldiers and horses.

The layout here is a bit like Luofengpo, with high mountains and steep roads all around, difficult and dangerous roads, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

If the enemy army wants to attack the city, they must first capture the defensive camp, but attacking from the bottom of the mountain is tantamount to looking for shots, and with Ma Chao, Zhang Wei and others assisting in the defense, Cao Cao's army can't use it, they can only fight with each other. Cao's army was short of food and grass, and the army was waiting for work with ease. This battle was really fought.

——Facts have proved that there are not so many wine bags and rice bags, and Zhang Wei's ability is not small, just looking at the formation is really quite impressive.

Lu Jing had seen the terrain and knew it by heart. While waiting for Cao Jun's vanguard to arrive, he asked Xingdu to lead the soldiers of the Yadao disciples to investigate the surrounding situation.

Cao Cao's army came quickly.

Zhang Wei, Ma Chao and others had just arrived outside Yangping Pass less than ten days before they completed the fortifications. Cao Cao's vanguard troops——Xiahouyuan and Zhang He who set out from Chang'an had already passed Hechi and camped fifteen miles away from Yangping Pass, waiting for the troops led by Cao Cao. Chinese army.

At the same time, Xingdu also reported the Nanshan, Beishan and the surrounding environment outside the pass in detail, and there was an interesting piece of information.

——There are thousands of wild elk growing at the foot 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, if that's the case, let's give them a meeting gift first..."

……

Fifteen miles outside Yangping Pass.

Xiahouyuan's big tent.

Zhang He stood at the head, as awe-inspiring as a bronze statue, majestic and majestic. Another middle-aged fierce general knelt down on one knee. This man's surname was Zhu Mingling. Although he was not as famous as Zhang He and Xu Huang, he was also a famous general under Cao Cao's command. He reported to Xia Houyuan: "General, the army has slaughtered more than ten thousand Qiang and Di alien races and confiscated more than one hundred thousand dendrobium of grain. All of them have been escorted here. This should solve the urgent need!"

Xia Houyuan was overjoyed when he heard the words: "General Zhu please hurry up, I will report this matter to Duke Wei, and I will take credit for you!"

At this time, Xiahouyuan swept away the Qiang and Di tribes, and Weizhen was in the northwest, which already had the reputation of "Hubu Guanyou".

Cao Cao was greatly praised, saying that he wiped out the banditry in the Northwest that had been in chaos for more than [-] years in one fell swoop, and was invincible like a tiger.

Quoting the words of Confucius "I am not as good as you" and sighing that I am not as good as you.

Previously, Xia Houyuan repeatedly massacred the Qiang and Di ethnic groups. One was to prepare for the clearing of grain roads and save them from robbing the roads and destroying military planes. The other was to accumulate military supplies and provide grain and grass for Cao Cao's army to go south. The food transported from Guanzhong was all on mountain roads. , Even if there is no shortage of food in the autumn harvest season in August, it is still very difficult to escort, and it is more convenient to rob on the spot!
That's what Zhu Ling did.

If he succeeds, he will save a lot of trouble when Cao Cao comes.

Zhu Ling grinned and stood up.

Xia Houyuan glanced outside the tent, it was already dark, and said: "It's late at night, killing the enemy and transporting food is hard work, General Zhu, go down and rest."

Zhu Ling clasped his fists and said, "Yes! I will retire at the end."

When Zhu Ling left the big tent, Zhang He hesitated and said: "General, the army has traveled so far, and the people are exhausted, so we must guard against robbing the stronghold."

Xia Houyuan sneered and said, "Only relying on Zhang Wei? He has built a city wall for more than ten miles, so cowardly, how could he have the courage to sneak attack on my camp?"

Zhang He said: "Zhang Lu also has Ma Chao and Yang Bai under his command. They are all people who know how to fight, so it's better to be cautious."

"..."

Yang Bai is still second, but Ma Chao is quite capable.

Xia Houyuan frowned and thought for a while: "Forget it, since that's the case, then order 3000 people to guard the camp in case of accident."

Zhang He breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "The last general takes orders, I'll go down and prepare."

Zhang He withdrew from the large tent of the Chinese army and looked up at the sky. The night was dark and the full moon hung high.

He called the deputy general Gao Zuo, and was about to make some people stand up on alert, when suddenly the earth trembled, and there was a loud rumbling sound from a distance, shaking the earth and shaking the mountains!
Zhang He was taken aback, and asked in a deep voice, "What happened? Be careful of enemy attacks!"

Lieutenant Gao Zuoxun looked at the reputation, his face changed drastically, and the rest of the guards could not help but widen their eyes when they saw the situation in the distance, dumbfounded!

I saw thousands of elk rushing towards the avenue, their eyes were blood red, they were fast, with their antlers on their backs, they rushed into the camp unscrupulously, for a while, the deer screamed one after another, and the formation seemed like a thousand troops horse……
