A few days later. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Liu Bei, who wanted to live, followed Lu Ren's advice in the past few days, and ate and drank well to make up for his body and bones. Of course, as a generation of heroes, Liu Bei has not forgotten to make a series of arrangements to the group in the past few days.

Of course, Lu Ren wouldn't ask about those messy things. In the past few days, in addition to stabilizing Liu Bei's physical condition regularly every day, the rest of the time basically went to the barracks to ask those soldiers who participated in the battle about the situation of the heavy armored cavalry encountered in that battle.

Although according to the telegram sent back by the intelligence station in Hanzhong, Lu Ren deduced that Guishan or Anxi dispatched elite Parthian heavy cavalry, but after all, it was only a calculation, and the actual situation has yet to be confirmed. Now that there is such an opportunity, of course, Lu Ren has to collect as much intelligence as possible, and use this to judge whether Liu Bei really ran into the Parthian hoplites.

Lu Ren is not idle. Because in the Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Han Dynasty, there was no real heavy cavalry in the Chinese region, and the result was that the military personnel in the Chinese region had a low awareness of the heavy cavalry, and at the same time, they lacked the corresponding tactics to deal with the heavy cavalry. Here are a few digressions, the kidnapping horse in a novel is likely to be a heavy cavalry, as for whether it has been artistized by the novel, God knows, at least in Lu Ren's opinion, it is mostly artistic.

Don't go far, just talk about the information that Lu Ren got from Liu Beijun's soldiers in the past few days...... It's messy. There's no way, people tend to exaggerate intentionally or unintentionally when they encounter something beyond their cognition, and Lu Ren is in this situation now, and he is really dizzy. I want to try to get rid of those exaggerated elements, but where is this kind of thing said that it can be done if it is done?

However, after this trouble, Lu Ren's idea of wanting to see it with his own eyes became more and more firm. Because if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be difficult for Lu Ren to start formulating corresponding tactics. Moreover, the Parthian cavalry also used gunpowder and fuel, and if this kind of thing was used properly, it was relatively easy to break through the infantry phalanx, and it was impossible to deal with it if they didn't want to deal with it.

Finally on this day, Liu Bei, escorted by the personal guards, began to go to Shangyong, preparing to take the road when Lu Ren came to the "secret realm". At this time, Shangyong is Liu Bei's territory, and Liu Bei will go down the river after boarding the boat in Shangyong, although he will pass through some of Cao Pi's land, but I believe there will be no problems.

When he was about to leave, Liu Bei inevitably called Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to the front of the car for a long time, as for what he said, Lu Ren didn't bother to ask, and there were some things that Lu Ren could guess. When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei sent the elder for a while before coming back, Lu Ren glanced at the expressions on Guan Zhang's faces and shook his head and smiled: "Don't stare at me like this, okay?" I know you still can't trust me, but please think about it, if I want to hurt Uncle Huang, why don't you come to Hanzhong? Why do you come here to see your face and be a wicked person? ”

Zhang Fei's face was ugly, and he took two steps forward when he raised his foot, but Zhao Yun stopped in front of Lu Ren at the right time. Seeing Zhao Yun standing up, Zhang Fei said dissatisfiedly: "Zilong, what are you doing here?" ”

Zhao Yun took out a silk letter and showed it in front of Zhang Fei: "The lord is afraid that you will embarrass Mr. Lu again, so he told him to protect Mr. Lu's thoughtfulness during this time, and also left this letter as a warning." ”

Zhang Fei's eyes glared and wanted to attack, Guan Yu caught up and grabbed him, and then saluted Lu Ren respectfully: "Mr. Lu, my eldest brother is counting on Mr." But forgive Guan for saying the ugly thing in front of me......"

Lu Ren smiled indifferently: "It's the emperor's uncle's life to save it, and if you can't save it, you can't blame me, right?" Could it be that I injured Uncle Huang? When it's you, if you have time here to hold a grudge against me, who has nothing to do with this matter, why can't you hurry up and train the soldiers and horses, in order to avenge the three arrows for the emperor's uncle? If you blindly hold a grudge against me like this, don't you realize that you hate the wrong person? ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were speechless for a moment, but they each glared at Lu Ren a few times before leaving in a hurry. Zhao Yun escorted Lu Ren, and only after seeing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei walking away did he apologize to Lu Ren and said: "Mr. Lu, Yun Chang and Yide's tempers have always been like this, and I ask Mr. Lu not to take it to heart, and make amends to Mr. Lu on behalf of the two of them." ”

Lu Ren smiled and shook his head: "It's actually pointless to blame them. Brother Zilong, we haven't seen each other for a long time, are you interested in having a few drinks with me? The past few days have been busy with Uncle Huang's injury, and we don't have time to sit down and catch up. ”

To be honest, the relationship between Lu Ren and Zhao Yun is average, but because of Zhao Yu, in many ways they are closer than others in Liu Bei's camp. Moreover, Zhao Yun's current wife, Fan, was given to Zhao Yun by Lu Ren.

After returning to Hanzhong City, he found a wine shop to sit in, and after a few polite words, Zhao Yun couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Mr. Lu, the lord is going to your sect, can he return it safely?" ”

Lu Ren smiled: "For Yun Chang and Yide, my words will be left for three points, because they are too suspicious of me, if I really say enough, it will make them more suspicious." However, I have no such concerns about you and Brother Zilong, because Brother Zilong can trust me Lu Ren...... Don't worry, three months, four months at most, I, Lu Ren, will give you back a lively Uncle Liu. ”

After a pause and thinking about it again, Lu Ren added with a smile: "I, Lu Ren, can swear to the sky, and this is also a guarantee I made to you, Brother Zilong." ”

Unlike Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun knew Lu Ren better in Liu Bei's camp because of his relationship with Zhao Yu and the fact that he had fought side by side with Lu Ren in Xuzhou in the early years. Now that he had received Lu Ren's assurance, Zhao Yun was obviously relieved, and then saluted Lu Ren respectfully: "Thank you, Mr. Lu." ”

Lu Ren waved his hand to say that he was not polite, and finally had time to take a few more glances at Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun is a few years older than Lu Ren, and he is already in his fifties at this time, and he also has a lot of gray hair on his forehead sideburns, but the heroic spirit between his eyebrows has not been reduced by half a point, and if he wants to throw it into modern society, he is definitely a handsome uncle who can make a lot of women tempted.

sighed lightly and shook his head again, and said secretly in his heart: "Time is really a pig-killing knife......

Shaking his head again, throwing those chaotic thoughts out of his mind, Lu Ren asked Zhao Yun about the heavy armored cavalry he encountered at that time. It was too much and messy to hear from the soldiers before, so it was better to ask a calm general like Zhao Yun about it, at least it wouldn't be too distorted about the real situation at that time. In fact, Lu Ren wanted to ask Zhao Yun directly, but wasn't Liu Bei busy arranging things a few days ago? It's really hard for Lu Ren to call anyone at that stall.

Next, Zhao Yun described the heavy armored cavalry in his eyes. With Zhao Yun's character, his explanation was much more serious than the exaggerated statements of those soldiers, and Lu Ren also took out the paper soldiers, and drew the clothing characteristics of those heavy armored cavalry according to Zhao Yun's explanation on the paper as much as possible. When the two sides worked together to draw the sketch, Lu Ren stared at the pattern of the heavy armored cavalry in the sketch, and said secretly in his heart: "Looking at it like this, it is really very similar to the pattern in the relevant historical materials I have collected." There may be some differences, but they are largely negligible. ”

Zhao Yun was also looking at the pattern of the heavy armored cavalry and was silent. In fact, if you want to talk about playing cavalry tactics, Zhao Yun, who was born in Bai Ma Yi, can be said to be a first-class figure at that time, but when he met at that time, a character like Zhao Yun was also a little panicked for a while, after all, the momentum like a torrent of steel is indeed very amazing, and it is still a little frightening in retrospect.

"Mr. Lu, these elite iron horses are not easy to deal with. I remember that as soon as the formation was broken, it was these elite iron horsemen who broke through the battle formation, and the enemy scattered cavalry followed, and then disrupted the battle formation of our army, and the lord was injured by the arrow at this time. To be honest, if it weren't for these elite iron horsemen leaving the battlefield at that time, Meng Qi and I wouldn't have been able to regain our foothold and bring back the situation at that time......"

Lu Ren put down his pen, his face was a little ugly: "It should be that the horsepower of the heavy armored cavalry is about to run out, so these heavy armored cavalry have to withdraw from the battlefield." Brother Zilong, I have seen some records of this kind of heavy armored cavalry in the division before, and I know a little bit about it, but to be honest, it is just a piece of paper. But......

"How so? These heavy cavalry are generally used to break the formation, and when the opponent's military formation is in chaos, their task will be completed, and they do not need to have a long-term combat ability under normal circumstances. The weight of the armor of a heavily armored cavalry with men and horses is close to two hundred catties (Han jin), and even a carefully selected excellent war horse cannot run under this kind of weight for too long. ”

Zhao Yun nodded, he still knew a lot about the war horse. When he raised his eyes again and saw Lu Ren leaving the seat, pacing back and forth with his arms in his arms, Zhao Yun was stunned and asked, "What is Mr. Lu thinking?" ”

Lu Ren thought for a while and responded: "Actually, these heavy armored cavalry are difficult to deal with, but if they are easy to deal with, they are also easy to deal with, but they must be skilled in training for infantry soldiers, and they can't withstand the strong impact of heavy armored cavalry at all...... Alas, it's a pity that I haven't seen it with my own eyes, and although I have some ways to deal with it, I always have a feeling of talking on paper. Well, let's not mention that for now. ”

Saying that, Lu Ren looked at Zhao Yun for a long time, and suddenly said, "Brother Zilong is a few years older than me, right?" I remember that when you and I first met, we were both young and prime, but now...... More than 20 years have passed in a flash. ”

Zhao Yun nodded, was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Mr. Lu, why did you go all out to help Cao Thief this time?" ”

Lu Ren was dumbfounded: "Help Cao thief?" I'm not helping him, I'm helping my people. Between the imperial uncle and the Cao family, it is just a family fight; But it will be a battle of life and death with the alien Hulu. Brother Zilong, you are not a person who does not understand the art of war, you should understand that if the Cao family is defeated and Chang'an is lost, the Central Plains will be destroyed...... Brother Zilong, you are also a person who has experienced the raids of Hulu in the north, what kind of things can't these beasts do? ”

Zhao Yun secretly clenched his fists and asked in a deep voice, "Will it be so serious?" ”

Lu Ren said: "What's more! If the alien Hu Kou breaks through the front line of Chang'an and enters the hinterland of the Central Plains, I am afraid that the Central Plains will be ruined and the people will be miserable. ”

Zhao Yun didn't say much, just let out a long sigh.

Lu Ren looked at Zhao Yun and suddenly smiled helplessly: "Brother Zilong, do you remember what you and I said when we were chatting in Xinye in the past?" You said that one day when Uncle Huang's great cause is completed, you will ask Uncle Huang for his life to go to Northern Xinjiang to exterminate Wuhu to promote the prestige of my Han Dynasty; I said that if there was a day, I would personally carry the grass and food for you. But now ......"

Zhao Yun lowered his head gloomily: "You still remember this, but I thought you had forgotten it a long time ago." ”

Lu Ren shook his head: "Will I forget the hatred of the Northern Clan?" If I hadn't betrayed Cao Ying back then, maybe I would have been on the grain route to the north now. ”

"The current situation is the danger of the Han family."

Lu Ren also lowered his head and said, "Brother Zilong, I haven't sung for a long time, but now I really want to sing a song, can you help me high-five each other?" ”

Zhao Yunleng paused for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Lu Ren cleared his voice, recalled a song that was sung by everyone in his time, and sang:

"The wolf smoke rises/The rivers and mountains look north/The dragon rises/The horse hisses/The sword qi is like frost

The heart is like the vast water of the Yellow River / Who can resist in 20 years

Hate and madness / Where the long knife goes / How many siblings are loyal to the soul of the homeland

What a pity to die to repay the family and country/People sigh/More speechless/Blood and tears are full of ......"

After singing the first half of the song, Lu Ren paused, and then looked at Zhao Qu and said to himself: "How many siblings are loyal to their souls and bones in other places...... People sigh / more speechless / blood and tears ......"

Lu Ren may have understood the true taste of the song at this moment, choked up and changed his breath, and then sang:

"The horse's hooves go south/People look north/People look north, the grass is green and the dust is blowing/I am willing to defend the land and reopen the territory/The dignified China wants to let the Quartet/Come to congratulate——"

The song was not long, but after singing it again, Zhao Yun also sang along with Lu Ren. Once, twice...... Unconsciously, two tears flowed from Zhao Yun's face. After a long time, the two finally stopped singing, Zhao Yun wiped away the tears with his side face, and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Lu, does the so-called horse's hooves go south, do you mean your own situation?" ”

Regardless of whether it is pirated or not, this "horseshoe going south" is indeed a portrayal of Lu Ren's now. Lu Ren nodded slowly: "I hope I still have the opportunity to go to the northern Xinjiang to fight against Wuhu." ”

Zhao Yun looked at Lu Ren for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, there will definitely be!" It's not just you, I'm too! ”

Lu Ren stopped: "Brother Zilong, you ......"

Zhao Yun suddenly hugged his fist to Lu Ren: "I suddenly remembered some things in the next, and I will forgive you for leaving for the time being." ”

Lu Ren was still there, and it took a long time to understand. But when Lu Ren understood, Zhao Yun had already left the wine shop. Lu Ren was also stunned, he didn't know what Zhao Yun wanted to do, and he couldn't help crying and laughing in his heart, and said secretly: "I really want to arouse some resonance with you with these things, but you don't need such a big reaction, right?" But that's fine, I think I'll go back and see that the matter of the Western Regions Alliance seems to have been settled. ”

didn't mention Lu Ren, but said that Zhao Yun rushed out of the door to get on the horse, and suddenly someone called: "Where is Zilong going?" ”

Zhao Yun was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly saluted the visitor: "Why is the military advisor here? ”

Pang Tong sighed lightly: "It's rare to have time, I want to come and see Lu Zhengnan...... Oh, if Zilong has something, go first, I'll go and see Lu Zhengnan and ask a few words. ”

Zhao Yun saluted Pang Tong respectfully and got on his horse and left, not knowing what he was going to do. Pang Tong looked at Zhao Yun's departing back, shrugged his shoulders and prepared to enter the wine shop to see Lu Ren, but at this moment, Pang Tong's mouth and nose were softly humming the song he had just heard......
