The scale of this Chang'an offensive and defensive battle is not large, but in general, it is the first battle in the real sense of the Chang'an offensive and defensive war. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info And how much effect the victory in the first battle has on the morale of the army, it is needless to say, not to mention that the main general of the other party was actually killed by Zhao Yu with a shot, which was really unheard of before.

In short, when the sky was about to get dark, Zhong Xuan timely announced that he would give the soldiers a meal and reward, after all, the victory in the first battle also killed the opponent's leading general, and the soldiers had to be rewarded with good food and drink. And at this time, if it weren't for the identity of Zhao Yu's camp, and if Zhao Yu was a woman after all, the trick would have been poured down by a group of big men...... However, there are really not a few people who want to put Zhao Yu down and conquer her.

Of course, no one dared to provoke Zhao Yu. In terms of identity alone, Lao Cao admired Zhao Yu very much when he was still there, and this reason alone was enough to make the vast majority of people dare not approach Zhao Yu. And Zhao Yu ...... Well, here you can call Zhao Yu a "rain sister", anyway, the force value hidden under Zhao Yu's gentle appearance is enough to explode, when guiding the Cao family's soldiers as an artillery instructor, I have also met some people who don't open their eyes and don't have long brains who think Zhao Yu is easy to bully, and then they want to bargain for Zhao Yu, but the result is that without exception, they were repaired by Zhao Yu very badly, and they had to be beaten with a military stick when they were finished.

So this back and forth, Zhao Yu's royal sister aura is famous in Sergeant Cao's stroke. Because of this, when Zhao Yu said that he didn't want to participate in today's celebration banquet, no one dared to say anything that you Zhao Yu didn't give face. When Zhao Yu left, he saw Zhao Yu give him a look, and immediately nodded knowingly, and then after arranging a celebration banquet, he deduced that he should give Zhao Yu a little face, so that the soldiers could eat and drink well, and then ran to Zhao Yu's residence as a cover.

After meeting each other and making some due and courtesy for others to see, Zhao Yu led Zhong Miao to the garden and took a seat. At this time, in addition to wine and food, the sand table of the Chang'an area was also placed, and then all the entourage and everything were branched out.

For others, Zhao Yu and Zhong Xuan should be preparing to discuss military affairs, after all, this kind of thing was very common in the past, so the guards were careful outside the park, so as not to cause any leakage of military aircraft, in that case, they could not afford to be guilty.

Zhong Miao also thought that Zhao Yu had something to say about military affairs, so he had been waiting for Zhao Yu to speak. But Zhao Yu here smiled and said after talking about a bunch of inconsequential topics: "Zhong Xiangguo (Zhong Xuan's position at this time), I have an old man here who wants to meet you." ”

Zhong Miao was stunned: "My old man? ”

With his stunned kung fu, Lu Ren came out of the shadows, arched his hand to Zhong Xuan casually, and said, "Old Zhong, how many years have we not met?" ”

When Zhong Miao was under Lao Cao's command, he didn't stay in Xuchang for long before he was assigned to the Chang'an region by Lao Cao, so he and Lu Ren could only be regarded as nodding friends. To put it mildly, although Zhong Xuan is from a humble family, he is a serious scholar after all, and there is a clan to support him; On the other hand, Lu Ren's "background"...... Forget it, I don't need to say anything about this sincerity. In short, if it weren't for Lu Ren's ability and merits to lead Tuntian at that time, coupled with the fact that Xun Yu and Zhong Xuan were both from Yingchuan and had a good relationship, which played some lubricating role, then Zhong Yu would probably not even look at Lu Ren.

Therefore, Zhong Xuan's image of Lu Ren is not deep, and there is only a very vague outline in his mind. Moreover, more than 20 years have passed, and the original vague outline is almost dissipating. If it weren't for the fact that Lu Ren's later movements became more and more noisy, so that Zhong Xuan would pay attention to the information about Lu Ren no matter what, then I am afraid that even this vague outline would not remain in Zhong Xuan's mind.

So Zhong Xuan was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, and after looking at it carefully, he said quite uncertainly: "Are you ...... Lu Ren Lu Zhengnan? That's not right! Lu Zhengnan is not a few years younger than me, so you should be Lu Zhengnan's son? It's not right, you just said that you and I haven't seen each other for many years...... No way? Everyone in the world says that Lu Zhengnan has a way of health preservation, is this really the case? So, are you really Lu Zhengnan? ”

Lu Ren has long been surprised by this kind of thing, so much so that he wants to make his appearance older several times, so that he can also avoid some unnecessary trouble. But seriously, if you can keep your youth young, how many people in the world will not be happy?

Okay, don't talk about this, just say that Lu Ren smiled and then sat down in the banquet, and then smiled at Zhong Xuan: "More than 100,000 foreign enemies are under the city, the overall situation is important, if you have something about me, Lao Zhong, don't make a noise." ”

Zhong Xuan is not stupid. On the contrary, he is a fine guy, how can he not understand the seriousness of things? So after the consternation in his heart passed, Zhong Miao also quickly lowered his voice: "Lu Zhengnan, why are you in Chang'an City?" ”

Lu Ren said: "I naturally have my ability to come and go at will, so don't ask too much, old Zhong." In short, you Lao Zhong only need to understand one thing, that is, I came to Chang'an this time to help you defend the city and repel foreign enemies for our Han. ”

Zhong Miao was stunned again, and then left the table and saluted Lu Ren respectfully: "Lu Zhengnan cares about the safety of the country, and even does not hesitate to risk himself, Zhong is respectful!" ”

Lu Ren hurriedly waved his hand: "Okay, okay, let's not play these things between us." Old Zhong, tell me if there is any problem with Chang'an's city defense if it continues to fight like this? ”

Zhong Xuan muttered: "Two years ago, when Cao Gong was still alive, he had already mobilized many soldiers and horses to go to Chang'an, and then Cao Gong died of illness and Cao Zihuan succeeded to the throne. ”

Saying that, Zhong Xuan glanced at Zhao Yu next to him, who was drinking and eating calmly, smiled helplessly, and added: "Of course, there are also a large number of powerful ordnance sent by you Lu Zhengnan. ”

Lu Ren said: "Can you put it simply?" I just want to ask you, if the Western Regions Alliance forces attack with all their might, can this Chang'an City withstand the offensive of the Western Regions Alliance? ”

Zhong Xuan was a little unhappy: "Lu Zhengnan, don't underestimate my soldiers in Chang'an. I don't dare to say more, but under the all-out attack of the Western Regions Alliance, it is not a problem for Chang'an City to withstand it for a year, not to mention that Cao Zihuan is stationed in Tongguan and can reinforce Chang'an at any time. ”

Lu Ren nodded, and said in his heart that this should be an arrangement left by Lao Cao Pi when he was alive to attack, retreat and defend. And Cao Pi himself is also a talented person, he will not mess around in this kind of thing, but will follow the plan left by his Lao Tzu.

Stretching out his hand to fill Zhong Xuan with wine, Lu Ren asked the question in his heart: "Old Zhong, don't you think that this war has been fought for a long time?" ”

The time when the Western Regions Coalition Army attacked the western part of Liangzhou was in the autumn of the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, and the current time is the late autumn of the twenty-sixth year of Jian'an, which means that this war has been fought for two years. But then again, really large-scale decisive battles have almost never been fought, and they have only been fought in small local battles.

However, this situation is also related to Liu Bei's unexpected injury and retirement not long ago. At that time, if Liu Bei was not injured, he would have a good chance to take Tianshui County, and Cao Pi on the other end could also successfully take Anding, and then Cao and Liu would form a flank attack on the key Wuwei County. To put it simply, if Liu Bei had not been injured and retired at that time, then Liu Bei and Cao Pi at this time were at least preparing for a decisive battle with the Western Regions Alliance.

But then again, this is something that has only happened recently, and the troops of the Western Regions Coalition are mainly fast horses and light horses, so it should be a "fast" as the main body both strategically and tactically. Even if he had the intention of stabilizing his foothold, and he had encountered a lot of resistance from Liu Bei and Cao Pi before and after, if he really looked closely, it was not difficult to find that the actions of the Western Regions Alliance Army were too procrastinating.

Lu Ren didn't notice these things before, after all, Lu Ren was not a military strategist, and he was not on the Chang'an battlefield, so he lacked relevant intelligence and cognition. But now that Lu Ren has come to the Chang'an area, he has been carefully observing the Western Regions Alliance Army in the sky several times, so Lu Ren has seen something. As for asking Zhong Xuan questions at this moment, it was because there was no one around Lu Ren who could discuss these things at this time, so he had no choice but to come and discuss with the old fritter Zhong Xuan.

It is said that Zhong Miao is an old fritter, otherwise he would not have been able to mix in Chang'an for 20 years. Hearing Lu Ren mention these things at this moment, Zhong Xuan pondered for a long time and then asked, "What does Lu Zhengnan think?" ”

Lu Ren took a sip of wine and lightly spit out two words: "Miscellaneous." ”

Zhong Xuan nodded in agreement: "The old man thinks so too." Otherwise, with more than 100,000 people in the Western Regions Alliance, and the momentum of uniting many Xiongnu tribes, if they really went all out to attack and rob, the Chang'an area would have fallen into a bitter battle long ago. The old man might as well tell the truth here, if it weren't for the lack of understanding of those countries in the Western Regions, which led to a lot of bad contacts, the old man would have used a divisive plan to divide them and then break them down. ”

Lu Renxin said that you want to copy Lao Cao's previous battle strategy against Malaysia and Han? However, Lu Ren's purpose in coming to Zhong Xuan was not to attack Zhong Xuan, but to confirm the guess in his heart again from the old fritter Zhong Xuan. Now that he got such an answer, a sinister smile appeared on Lu Ren's face, but he didn't notice that this smile made Zhong Yan's hand holding the cup tremble.

In order to hide the strangeness in his heart, Zhong Miao hurriedly started the topic: "How did Lu Zhengnan get to Chang'an?" ”

Lu Ren then smiled: "Didn't I say just now that I have my own way to come and go freely?" Oh, I have to tell you something, there are already 6,000 garrisons on Liu Bei's side at the north entrance of Meridian Valley, and they have also harassed several side battalions of the Western Regions Alliance Army in recent days. However, because the main road between Chang'an and Chang'an was blocked by the Western Regions Coalition Army, I couldn't inform you here. ”

Zhong Miao was stunned again: "Liu Bei's soldiers and horses arrived at the mouth of the Meridian Valley?" Didn't it be said before that Liu Bei was seriously injured and returned to Hanzhong? ”

Lu Ren said: "Liu Bei almost hung up, and I was actually invited by Liu Bei to go to Hanzhong to save his life, and then I persuaded Liu Bei's people, so Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun followed me to Meridian Valley." Although there are only 6,000 people at present, you should know better than me what the road of Meridian Valley is, and the people of the brigade did not come so quickly. ”

Zhong Xuan was silent when he heard this, lowered his head and pondered for a long time before saying, "Lu Zhengnan, do you want to fight a decisive battle with the Western Regions Alliance Army under Chang'an City?" ”

Lu Ren said: "If you can, why don't you fight?" If it drags on like this, the Central Plains will have to transport grain and conscript troops and horses for thousands of miles to Chang'an, so do you think the current Central Plains can withstand such a drag? ”

At that time, Zhong Xuan lost his temper. At this time, the Central Plains region has recovered fairly well under Lao Cao's governance, but after all, the competition has caused too much damage to the Central Plains of China, and Lao Cao's governance in the past ten years can only be regarded as making the Central Plains region have some improvement.

Not to mention anything else, if it were according to the original history, Cao Wei would have only had a population of four or five million when he was replaced by the Jin, and that was a few decades later. Although the current situation is better, the estimated population figure is about four million, and if this battle continues like this, Cao Wei's economy will be a little unable to withstand the toss.

Zhong Xuan, or Cao Pi, actually wanted to finish this battle as soon as possible, but for various reasons, he never found the opportunity to have a decisive battle with the Western Regions Alliance. It is precisely because of this that Cao Pi was so angry when he received that Liu Bei returned to Hanzhong because of serious injuries that he was seriously injured, and scolded Liu Bei for being a waste, because this made Cao Pi lose a chance to fight a decisive battle and finish the battle early. However, because of Liu Bei's retreat, Cao Pi had to withdraw his troops to Chang'an, and changed from preparing for a decisive battle to defense, and then dragged on.

Because he understood these things, Zhong Xuan was helpless, but he also sneered at Lu Ren: "Lu Zhengnan is certainly reasonable, but where is this decisive battle said that it can be fought?" ”

Lu Ren smiled: "You can rest assured that here in Chang'an, you can prepare for the decisive battle." Oh yes, remember to try to inform Xiao Cao. Anyway, you can rest assured, give me a little time, I have a way to make the decisive battle of the fighter appear. ”

Zhong Xuan said suspiciously: "Lu Zhengnan, what law do you have?" ”

Lu Ren smiled incomprehensibly: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed......"
