In the military field of the Hanzhong Military Camp, more than 1,000 people from two teams are conducting drills. One of the www.biquge.info is an infantry phalanx of more than 500 people, and the other is a cavalry unit of more than 500 cavalry. The commander of the infantry side was Lu Ren, and the commander of the cavalry side was Zhao Yun.

The two sides are stopping, and from time to time Lu Ren and Zhao Yun will discuss a few words there, and then they will make some adjustments in their respective formations, combinations, and personnel positions. Anyone with a little discerning can see that they are optimizing and improving the infantry battle formation.

After the sound of horses' hooves, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also came to the school military field. After watching the tactical drill between Lu Ren and Zhao Yun, the short-tempered Zhang Fei couldn't help but sneer at Lu Ren: "When you go into battle to fight, you pay attention to the momentum and move forward, how can you point and draw like a girl like you?" ”

Lu Ren glared back at Zhang Fei angrily: "You Zhang Yide is unparalleled in martial arts, but where can you only rely on courage to fight?" What I'm fiddling with may seem a bit of a sissy to you, but at least it minimizes the casualties of the soldiers. ”

What Zhang Fei said was actually pure anger. After so many years of fighting, how could he not know that he couldn't just rely on brute force to mess around? To put it bluntly, Zhang Fei Chunqu just didn't like Lu Ren. I wanted to talk to Lu Ren again, but Guan Yu stopped him at the right time and asked him to say a few words.

After rehearsing like this for a while, someone suddenly came to report that Lu Ren's entourage had arrived...... With Lu Ren's identity, of course, it is impossible to come to Hanzhong by himself, and he brought three hundred elite guards, and in current words, these three hundred people are Lu Ren's guard battalion. Two days ago, Lu Ren's batch of support materials arrived in Hanzhong, some of which Lu Ren had arranged to send to Hanzhong before, and after arriving, he asked the guard battalion to pick them up, so he returned to Lu Ren's side at this time.

Seeing that this guard battalion returned to his side, Lu Ren greeted him and then said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with a smile: "Are Yun Chang and Yide interested in accompanying me to the Meridian Valley?" ”

The two were stunned for a moment, and Zhang Fei immediately asked, "Meridian Valley?" What do you want? ”

Lu Ren pretended to be surprised and responded: "What? Didn't Master Pang tell you? ”

Zhao Yun picked up the words in a timely manner: "After the first battle of Tianshui, the Western Regions thief army shrank the strength of Tianshui, and most of the main forces were transferred to the front line of Chang'an, so Chang'an was in danger. It is related to the safety of the Central Plains, the lord and the Cao family temporarily abandon the previous suspicion to defend against foreign enemies, so there is a temporary friendship of unity, and now Chang'an is in danger, we must send a force of soldiers and horses to the north of the Meridian Valley, and slightly divide the situation of the thief army. ”

Zhang Fei said: "I know this, but what's the matter with him Lu Ren?" ”

Lu Ren was happy: "It seems that whether it is Uncle Huang or Cao Pi, many of the swords and crossbows in his hands are provided by me Lu Ren, right?" As the people of the Han Dynasty, I should also contribute to the Han Dynasty's defense against foreign enemies. Now that I have such an opportunity, of course, I would also like to kill some of the thieves who committed my big man on the battlefield. ”

Zhang Fei was furious: "His Cao family is facing an enemy, what does it matter to me?" If you want me to say, let the soldiers who are out of the fart, let them fight to the death! And you Lu Ren, what are you doing to make a fuss? Defend against foreign enemies and kill them with your own hands? I see that you just want to take the opportunity to escape! ”

"Yide, don't be rude!!"

Guan Yu's words were so, but there was some displeasure and suspicion in his gaze when he looked at Lu Ren.

For Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's reaction, Lu Ren had already expected it, and the draft that had been typed a long time ago also came out: "Escape? What can I Lu Ren escape? Yun Chang and Yide, you are just worried that my master will not be able to cure the imperial uncle, so I understand you, and I don't bother to worry about making things difficult for you many times. But now I'm going to say it, if you don't dare to go to war, just say it, don't let the hell talk about me! ”

Zhang Fei was furious: "What did you say? When did I dare not go to the battlefield? My old Zhang is obviously worried that there is no battle to fight! ”

Lu Ren said: "Then why don't you dare to go to the Meridian Valley with me to meet the Western Regions Alliance?" Let me remind you again, it was the Iron Cavalry of the Western Regions who injured the emperor's uncle, not me, Lu Ren! I, Lu Ren, have come all the way to you, and I have done my best enough to be kind to you, but you are still here to make things difficult for me, is it meaningful? Everyone in the world says that you Liu Guanzhang and the three brothers value faith and righteousness the most, but is this how people who value faith and righteousness are embarrassed to help your people? Do you want me to scold you for deceiving the world and stealing your name? ”

"You!!" Zhang Fei obviously lost money again.

Lu Ren changed his words at this time: "But I know that you are not such people, so I was thinking why you have to be so difficult for me all the time." Later, I figured out that I was so embarrassed and afraid that I would escape, but in fact I just wanted to talk about me, so that I could find a reasonable excuse for not daring to go into battle to fight. ”

"Lu, Ren, Xiao, Er!!"

Lu Ren turned around very chicly: "I really want to leave, none of you can stop me." And if something happens to me here in Hanzhong, you'll have to wait for 10,000 years. ”

Zhang Fei was furious and wanted to step forward to open his liver with Lu Ren, Lu Ren's guard battalion immediately raised the musket in his hand, and Guan Yu and Zhao Yun also hurriedly pressed Zhang Fei. Looking at Lu Ren again, he walked forward without looking back, but he was secretly thinking in his heart: "Will my words be too much?" Forget it, the rest depends on how Pang Xiaoniao solves it. ”

――――――――――――――――――――

Meridian Valley, a mountain road between Chang'an and Hanzhong, is very difficult to walk.

In the original historical process, Wei Yan suggested to Zhuge Liang several times that "lead 5,000 troops and 5,000 grains, but you can reach Chang'an in more than ten days", but Zhuge Liang thought it was too dangerous and did not adopt it. Historians have debated this matter endlessly, so I won't talk about it here.

And the current situation is that after the battle for Hanzhong between Cao and Liu, Liu Bei was attacked by the Western Regions coalition army, and Yangping Pass was almost lost. After that, Cao and Liu were stationed at both ends of the Meridian Valley, although they had the intention of reinforcing each other, but more of them were also guarding against each other.

Not long ago, Cao Pi shrank his forces to prepare for the defense of Chang'an, and the troops at the northern crossing of the Meridian Valley also retreated. One is that it is not good to reinforce there after the fight, and leaving troops there is tantamount to throwing away a troop, and the other is that Cao Pi also played a careful mind, wanting to see if the Western Regions Alliance Army would divide its forces into the Meridian Valley and then go to Liu Bei for trouble. In short, Cao Pi, the northern crossing of the Meridian Valley, did not leave any troops.

At this moment, Liu Beifang's thousands of men and horses arrived at the northern crossing of the Meridian Valley and settled in the fortifications left behind by Cao Pi's side. Maybe it's because there are no garrisons and supplies here, or maybe it's still a long way from Chang'an, or maybe it's because the Western Regions Coalition doesn't like mountainous terrain, anyway, the Western Regions Coalition didn't care about this seemingly abandoned fortification, and the result was that when Liu Beifang's thousands of people were stationed here, they were simply stationed directly. Not to mention the liver fight, not a single arrow was fired.

Lu Ren came, Zhao Yun came, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also came under the joint flickering of Lu Ren and Pang Tong. In terms of troops, although there are only a few more than 6,000 people, they are all elites who are good at fighting mountain warfare, and the purpose is only to contain and coax the Western Regions Alliance Army, and these thousands of people are enough. Besides, such a mountain road is not convenient for the transportation of logistics supplies, and it is troublesome if there are too many soldiers.

Needless to say, the arrangement and arming of personnel, as well as the repair and reinforcement of fortifications, etc., after the proper placement at night, Lu Ren found Zhao Yun......

The battle to defend Chang'an has not officially begun, and some are only some small-scale tentative battles between the two sides, and the garrison point of the Western Regions Alliance at this time is still some distance from Chang'an, and it is not very far from the Meridian Valley crossing. Again, it may be due to the fact that most of the Western Regions Alliance forces are cavalry and don't like mountainous terrain, and at this time, they haven't noticed that there is an extra force here at the Meridian Valley crossing. Or maybe they already knew, but they really didn't have much interest in these thousands of infantry, and they didn't want their cavalry to even run in the mountainous terrain.

Without further ado, at midnight on this night, Lu Ren drove the Xiangban to the sky above a Western Regions Alliance military camp near the Meridian Valley crossing, and behind the Xiangban sat Zhao Yun.

No one in the barracks noticed the movement in the night sky, and honestly they couldn't. And Zhao Yun was more than 400 meters above the ground, looking at the ground as a reptile-sized coalition soldier, as well as a boatload of meat buns, and the feeling in his heart was also very surprised.

Lu Ren once took Cai Yan to play on the board, and Cai Yan was frightened at first. But Zhao Yun is not like this, after all, our brother Yun is the master of "all the guts", and he is more surprised and excited.

"Mr. Lu really lives up to the name of 'Immortal Master'! Yun never imagined that in his lifetime, he would be able to soar in the sky. If you go back and let Yun Chang and Yide know about it, I believe they will envy them to death. ”

Lu Ren laughed: "Brother Zilong, I took you to fly this because I believe in Brother Zilong, and I ask you to keep this matter a secret for me." If this is really known to outsiders, God knows how much trouble it will cause me. But then again, if you just want to go to heaven, I have a way there, but it's not as convenient as my flying sword. Okay, okay, don't say a few words if it's irrelevant, we're not here to play this time, but to find out about the military. ”

Zhao Yun nodded, and stopped being verbose at the moment, taking out the telescope sent by Lu Ren and observing it carefully. After a while, Zhao Yun said in a low voice: "This camp is not big, at best, it is about 5,000 garrisons." But looking at the lights in the distance, there should be quite a few camps like this. ”

Lu Ren said: "I just don't know where the Parthian heavy cavalry you once encountered is. ”

In fact, there was no need for Zhao Yun to explain, Lu Ren also knew that the military camp below was just a peripheral military camp, and the Parthian heavy armored cavalry was generally the son of nobles, and if they wanted to be stationed, they would definitely be in the core area. I wanted to find it and see it with my own eyes, but considering the power consumption of the board after it was overweight, Lu Ren also had to give up this plan. Looking back at Zhao Yun again, I couldn't help but slander and said that your brother Yun doesn't need to wear a suit of armor and be fully armed all the time, right? Do you know how much more weight this has?

At this time, Zhao Yun pointed in one direction: "Mr. Lu, look over there!" ”

Lu Ren looked at the place where Zhao Yun was pointing, and saw that it was a small camp on the edge of the military camp. Because there were no lights, it was not very conspicuous in the dark night, so Lu Ren didn't notice it just now. Looking at it carefully now, Lu Ren's heart immediately understood that it was the prisoners' detention point. If nothing else, just look at the state of the people there.

But at this time, several coalition soldiers entered the camp, first scolded a few times, and then began to beat some of the prisoners for fun.

There were many women among the captives, and one of them was found by a coalition sergeant who pulled her hair and dragged her behind a tent. The female prisoner knew what was going to happen next, and although she struggled desperately to beat and scold, where was the opponent of the powerful coalition soldiers? And the more she struggled, the more she provoked the ferocity of the coalition soldiers.

A slap in the face of the female prisoner was drawn, and the female prisoner was quickly knocked unconscious. And the allied sergeant in the arrogant and evil smile, in a few strokes, forcibly tore open the female prisoner's shirt, revealing the female prisoner's snow-white chest and inner belly. Reaching out again, the thin belly coat floated aside, and the upper body of the female prisoner was naked/exposed to the eyes of the coalition soldiers.
