Zhuge Liang then turned to look at Lu Bu and said, "General Fengxian, the place you are going to is a battleground for military strategists who have fought before, Hangu Pass."
"The plateau is in the west, Juejian is in the east, the Qinling Mountains are in the south, and the Yellow River is in the north. Almost all foreign invasions in Chinese history started from this time. I'm afraid you will face an unusually large number of enemies."
"I mobilized 100,000 black iron soldiers to build a medium-sized eight-formation formation. I hope the general will guard this oldest pass."
Lu Bu was slightly startled when he heard this. Hangu Pass was a battlefield he had fought on before. At this moment, he seemed to be back in the troubled times, wearing battle armor and holding Fang Tian's painted halberd.
The scene of riding a red rabbit horse and bravely going into battle. The years are really ruthless, and an eternity has passed in the blink of an eye, and all the past events have been buried. No matter how heroic he is, they all turn into a handful of loess.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile, and said resolutely: "Although there are thousands of people, I will go!"
Zhuge Liang chuckled and nodded when he heard this, looked at the group of young talents in front of him, tapped his feather fan, and said: "Changge, Lu Hao, Liang needs you to go to Tongguan together."
"This pass faces Shanxi across the Yellow River to the north, and borders Hangu to the east. At the same time, the Yellow River and the Wei River meet here. It is a major transportation lifeline in China and must not be lost."
"Otherwise, the foreign armies will pass through this pass and invade the three major provinces, and then the situation can only be described as a loss of lives."
Zhao Changge and Lu Hao clasped their fists upon hearing this and said firmly: "Respectfully obey the Prime Minister's order! We will defend Tongguan to the death!!"
Zhuge Liang nodded slowly, pointed to Feng Tianming, and said: "Little friend Tianming, you and little friend Qianxun go to the Jiange Pavilion, especially guard the Jianmen Pass."
"Because Hanzhong is self-contained, the Ba Mountain Range has become the most important barrier for Sichuan and Sichuan. The Jiange is particularly important among many levels and can be called the 'North Gate of the Capital of Shu'.
"Jiange is here, and Sichuan is here. And the most important pass in Jiange is Jianmen Pass. This pass is the most dangerous pass in the Shu Road. With the help of the natural danger formation, it is very easy to defend."
"The 72nd Peak of Jianmen is tall and steep, with bluestone cliffs on both sides. Combined with the Shushan Sword Formation, it will definitely pose a great threat to the alien army. You must not leave the pass, and you can only fight in front of the pass."
"Liang's Eight Formation Map also covers that area and can provide support at any time. We need you to intercept some enemy troops and share the pressure on all battlefields."
"Respectfully obey the Prime Minister's orders!"
"The mission must be completed!"
Feng Tianming and Misawa Qianxun responded solemnly, and the fighting spirit in their hearts began to ignite.
"Xuzhou, at the junction of four provinces, is the intersection of two key roads. It is the throat connecting East China, Central China, and the southeastern coast. It is also the gateway to the ancient capital Jinling, and its geographical location is very important."
"It borders the Huaihai Sea to the east, the Central Plains to the west, the Jianghuai River to the south, and Qilu to the north. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack, but it is enough if you can defend it."
"Xuzhou is a thousand-year-old dragon enclave and the hometown of a generation of emperors. Eleven emperors have been born there since ancient times. Dragon energy and spiritual energy are relatively abundant."
"With the aid of the eight bright formation diagrams, the defense of this place can be completely reinforced. As long as you don't take the initiative to attack, there will be no problem in defending it,"
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan slightly, turned to look at Leng Yueyan and Ning Zhe, and said, "You two little friends, I will leave this place to you to guard. Are you up to the task?"
"Please rest assured, Prime Minister, I will definitely defend Xuzhou!" Leng Yueyan said resolutely.
"As long as I am still here, I will not let the evil spirits step into the land of China behind me." Ning Zhe was also solemn.
"Um."
Zhuge Liang nodded slowly, turned to look at Yu Wude and Shangguan Yiyi, and said, "Have you fully mastered the eight formation diagrams?"
"I am already able to use it skillfully. Please rest assured, Senior Wuhou." Shangguan Yiyi nodded.
"Me too, I have memorized all the changes in the formation diagram. I am still studying how to incorporate the third divine formation and the second killing formation into it recently." Yuwu De said while holding his chin.
"oh?"
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang raised his brows slightly and said, "This way, I feel relieved. I wasn't worried about doing this at first, but considering your attainments in formations, it might work."
"Senior, just tell me what you have in mind. Wu De will try his best to complete it." Yu Wu De said with a smile.
Zhuge Liang nodded slowly, shook his feather fan slightly, and said: "Hanzhong is the real lifeblood of China. If we want to seize the entire land of Sichuan and Shu, we must control Hanzhong."
"In this way, we can enter Sichuan from the southwest, Gansu from the northwest, Xi'an from the northeast and threaten the Central Plains, and Xiangyang from the southeast. The strategic location of this place is unparalleled!"
"This is also the reason why I proposed Bashu to my lord in the first place. Not only is the geographical location excellent, but this basin is also a base for settlement. It is rich in natural resources and is a great place to recuperate and recuperate."
"The Land of Abundance is an important grain-producing area in China. The strategic location is rear and important. Supporting the entire China here is the best and fastest choice."
"It can even be said that if we want to seize China, we must seize our treasured land of Sichuan and Shu!"
"But Sichuan and Shu are not only a strategic gateway, Hanzhong cannot be underestimated. Although the eight formations I have laid out have covered all areas, I still cannot completely control the overall situation."
"So one person is needed to assist in Hanzhong, with the big formation in the middle, and the two small formations in Jiange and Hanzhong respectively. The three formations complement each other and defend the land of Sichuan and Shu."
After hearing these words, even people who are not familiar with military affairs will feel the importance of Sichuan and Shu. It is true that this place is rich in products and is a good place for Chinese people to cultivate and reorganize.
It is densely populated and is also an important military location in modern times. Once that unknown disaster occurs, if this place is lost, I am afraid that the whole of China will fall into panic.
People will face "enemies" they have never seen before, a war between monks. Even if today's mortals have technology that far exceeds that of ancient times, it is impossible to defend against it.
Even a peak power can produce a power close to that of a nuclear bomb by unleashing a most powerful method with all his strength.
Especially the collision between a genius monk like Wang Bugui or an imperial powerhouse like Ying Zheng could easily result in the destruction of cities and provinces.
Their shocking blow that day almost destroyed the entire Yandu and some surrounding cities. If a mortal encounters it, he will be as vulnerable as a piece of grass.
Except for nuclear weapons, there is no way to resist this kind of inhumane weapon. How could it be used so easily? Moreover, China's population is so dense that doing so would be tantamount to suicide.
Therefore, we can only rely on monks like them to guard some important checkpoints and do their best to prevent foreign enemies from invading China. And the lifeblood of Sichuan and Sichuan must not be lost.
"What does the Prime Minister mean?" Yu Wude asked.
"Liang's merciless request is to ask Miss Shangguan to stay in Hanzhong and protect this place with us. Once the war situation here is stable, Liang can provide support to all areas of China."
Zhuge Liang frowned and said, after saying this, he shook his feather fan slightly and looked at Yu Wude. After all, Shangguan Yiyi has a close relationship with him, so even if she agrees with this decision, she must seek his opinion.
Yu Wude frowned. After thinking for a moment, he looked at the Yi Ren beside him and said, "Yiyi, it's up to you to decide this matter."
"It's a matter of life and death for China, so we should naturally listen to the Prime Minister's arrangements."
Shangguan Yiyi said slowly, then rolled his eyes, patted the dark-faced Yu Wude, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I am no worse than you!"
"Don't let me guard Hanzhong, but something goes wrong in the place you were guarding. If that happens, I will be the first to strangle you to death!"
After saying that, she waved a few show fists at Yuwu De, and finally raised her head and raised her eyebrows with a "hum".
"Hey, who am I? The unparalleled hero Yu Wude! A formation wizard that has never been seen in the ages! How can something go wrong in the place I'm guarding? Just rest assured, this matter is settled!"
"When I come back, if I find that you are not good enough, I will give you a letter of divorce."
Yu Wude said with a beaming expression, "I want to be beaten as much as I want." Shangguan Yiyi was so angry that she grabbed his ear and yelled: "Damn fat man! I will divorce you now!"
"From now on, no one will see anyone else!"
"Hey! Auntie~ I was wrong. Isn't it okay that I was wrong? You are my heart, you are my liver, and you are three-quarters of my body fat!"
"What?! Comparing this girl to that dirty thing, are you still implying that I am fat?!" Shangguan Yiyi was furious and at the same time increased his intensity.
"Hey! Be gentle! I was wrong! I dare not!" Yu Wude couldn't stop wailing, and his body was almost bent to the point of kneeling on the ground.
Everyone was speechless upon seeing this, with only one common thought in their hearts. Presumably Yu Wude and Shangguan Yiyi are the biggest couple besides the idiot couple.
“When talking about business, we must keep it straight!”
Suddenly, a majestic voice broke the commotion between the two. A chilling air instantly ran down their spines, and they immediately stopped fighting and glanced down at Ying Zheng.
He was the most intimidating person present. After all, this emperor was famous for his clear distinction between rewards and punishments. Once his rules were violated, it would be really scary just thinking about it.
