Views:

A few days later, all things were ready, Liu Xun's army division general Zhuge Liang guarded Sanjiang City, then 50,000 soldiers and horses rushed to Taohua Ferry, ten miles away from the ferry, settled in the camp. Then, Liu Xun ordered Zhao Yun and Li Yan to lead more than 8,000 soldiers at the Peach Blossom Ferry to settle in camp to see the movement of Menghuo's army. Before leaving, Liu Xun urged the two of them not to go away lightly. The two resigned, ordered eight thousand soldiers, and set off to defend Taohua Ferry.

Early the next morning, Liu Xun ordered a local person who was familiar with the local route to come, and he asked at the beginning: "Is there a Panshe Valley here?"

The man was an old man in his fifties. He was taken aback when he heard the words. After a while, he said: "There is indeed this place, it is very remote, and most people don't know it. I didn't expect the general to know it."

Zuo Junshi Pang Tong took the opportunity to offer compliments and said: "The lord knows astronomy from the top, and geography from the bottom. He has already understood the geography of Manzhong clearly and plainly before he travels. Otherwise, how can we know ourselves and the enemy, and win all battles? ?"

Liu Xun waved his hand and said, "This is not the time to flatter, but I love to listen to what you say. Don't worry, your name is indispensable for your merits, haha!" Then, Liu Xun looked at the old man and said, "Quickly Take me to Panshe Valley!"

The old man led Liu Xun and Zhu Rong on foot through the mountains and ridges. The three of them walked nearly an hour on the mountain road before they came to a big mountain. The old man pointed to the valley ahead and said, "This is the Panshe Valley, and the road in the middle can lead to Sanjiang City."

Liu Xun had already left, his legs were weak, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and gasped for breath. After hearing the old man’s words, Liu Xun came with interest, put his right hand on his eyebrows, and looked forward to seeing a valley in front of him that was shaped like a long snake, on both sides there were light cliffs, and there were no trees on the bare ground. Local people often come here. Chopping wood, arbitrarily logging.

Liu Xun looked at it for a long while, and was very satisfied. He snapped his fingers and exclaimed: "Look for a while, and then leave after reading!"

Zhu Rong made Nu Cherry's mouth and said in doubt: "This bare valley has no trees. There is nothing good about it, and it's not interesting at all. It made me walk for more than half an hour to accompany you to see some scenery. I'm so tired, I can't walk anymore, carry me back!"

Liu Xun said bitterly, "You don't have no legs and feet, and walk by yourself." After speaking, he walked straight away. Zhu Rong has no choice but to follow.

After struggling to return to the army's big account, Liu Xun came to the authentic Hu ** and sat down, coughing repeatedly, really indifferent. Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wu Yi and others were called, and they gave orders one by one for a long while. Everyone was at a loss when they heard the words, but they didn't dare to ask more, and they took their own plans. Liu Xun smiled slightly, making people rush to Peach Blossom Ferry to ask Zhao Yun to come to the Chinese Army's Great Account to discuss matters. In less than half an hour, Zhao Yun hurried over.

Liu Xun said: "There is an important task here that Zilong needs to complete."

Zhao Yun was overjoyed when he heard this, and said that he must have some arduous task of tackling tough problems on his own, and he gladly led the command: "The lord does not hesitate to give orders."

Liu Xun said slowly: "There was originally a Dazhai at Peach Blossom Ferry. From tomorrow on, you will lead your troops to fight. If a brute crosses the water to attack, you abandon Dazhai and go to the white flag. Only half a month. Inside, you need to lose fifteen games in a row and abandon eight Zhaizha. If you lose one game short, stop coming to see me."

Zhao Yun looked depressed and unhappy, and asked: "It's not alright to lose fourteen in a row!"

Liu Xun said firmly: "No!"

Zhao Yun smiled bitterly: "This..."

Liu Xun said earnestly: "This retreat is an important task like fighting. Don't worry about the light and fear the heavy, choose the three, choose the fat and the thin, sigh, and complain. Go ahead, I think you will be able to complete it successfully. The mission was defeated."

Zhao Yun replied weakly: "No!" After saying that, Zhao Yun came out in shock. Just when he reached the account, Liu Xun said again: "Remember that you must lose for fifteen battles! It won't work for a little less!"

Zhao Yun replied feebly: "I know." Then, he stepped out of the account and went back to the village, seemingly resentful.

Early the next morning, inside the Meng Huo Army’s military tent on the south bank of the Peach Blossom Ferry crossing, Meng Huozheng discussed the military situation with Wu Tu Gu. Wu Tu Gu said: “Liu Xun’s Han army has been free from the battle for the past few days. "

Meng Huo said: "This is just a trick by the people of the Central Plains. They want to make us slack and attack again."

Wu Tugu questioned: "What is this, our vine armor is invulnerable, it is slack in our heart, and he can't resist the enemy, haha!"

Meng Huo said: "He doesn't know that the king's cane armor is so powerful, I think Liu Xun will play in the battle in a few days."

Wu Tugu said dismissively: "Hmph, I'm afraid he won't go to war, I'll take care of him, hahaha!"

Meng Huo said: "Liu Xun is used to trickery, and he is most likely to ambush. In the future, he will fight and divide the three armies. But in the valley, there are many forests, so you can't enter lightly."

Wu Tugu said, "It's a good thing to have you reminded, or I'll be in the middle of it. Okay, just do it. You have fought against Liu Xun several times, and you are very familiar with him. If you have anything to pay attention to in the future, please remind me at any time."

Meng Huo nodded, just about to speak, a little pawn walked in and reported: "Report! Zhao Yun led the soldiers to fight by the river!"

Wu Tugu overjoyed and said: "Good fellow, finally here." After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and told the general: "Order all soldiers and horses, kill the generals, and let the Central Plains barbarians see how good I am!"

The Thirty Thousand Cane Armies will soon be assembled and ready to go. With a big wave of the Wutu bones, the vine armor soldiers roared in unison, yelling and screaming, each with a large knife and steel fork, and the killer went out. Coming to the river, I saw Zhao Yunjun waiting three to five hundred paces across the river.

Wu Tu Gu looked from a distance, and said with a sneer: "They all say that Liu Xun is great. I think he is just a fame, but that's all."

Meng Huo also agreed: "Liu Xun will use tricks, how can real swords and guns be our opponents."

Wu Tugu said: "It is, I have this invincible vine armor, so he has some tricks, and he can do anything to me." After speaking, with a wave of a big sword in his hand, the vine armor army waded through the water with armor. If you are too lazy to walk, you can take your nails and place them on the water. Sit up with your hips. With a light stroke of your right hand, you can draw a few feet and cross the river very easily.

Zhao Yun saw from a distance in front of the formation, and was shocked, thinking that such a powerful character would not be easy to deal with without any tricks. Just thinking of this, the Vine Armour had all gone through the peach blossom water, and they were not in a formation. Hearing the sound of the golden drum behind him, they each put their weapons on the ground and rolled over.

Zhao Yun thought that even if he was going to lose, he had to look like he was defeated. He would leave without an arrow or a knife. That would be too shameless and detract from his glorious image in the army. Thinking of this, the gentian in his hand flashed with a silver spear. Zhao Yunjun shouted loudly and rushed forward. When the two armies met, they fought with swords and arrows.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yunjun's crossbow arrows shot on the cane armor of the cane armor soldier, and they were impenetrable. They fell on the ground, and the knife and spear stabbing were like scratching through a boot and it was useless. A courageous vine armor soldier opened his arms and let an army soldier Zhao Yun on the opposite side chop a dozen knives. Seeing the soldier with a confused expression on his face, he laughed, swiped a big sword in his right hand, and the light of the sword flashed, and the soldier's head flew out.

Zhao Yun was at war with Meng Huo. He had been fighting for ten years. He glanced from the corner of his eye and frowned when he saw this scene. When he heard Liu Xun talk about the strength of the Vine Armor, he was a little disapproved. At this time, he saw it with his own eyes. , I really don't accept it. After fighting for a while, pretending to be invincible, he drove his horse and left, greeted the military horse to retreat.

Seeing that Zhao Yun's army was defeated, Wu Tugu wanted to tell the three armies to chase the general and kill him without leaving a piece of armor. Meng Huo waved his hand to stop him for fear of ambush. Wu Tugu was also afraid of Liu Xun's tricks and led the troops back across the river.

Early the next morning, Zhao Yun led the troops on the bank of the river and yelled at him again. The stubborn bones furiously led the troops to rush out. After a few battles, Zhao Yunjun turned around and ran on his feet, losing out. The vine armor soldiers chased them for more than 30 miles, and saw no movement around, except that the wild birds were screaming and there was no ambush, so they settled in Zhao Yunjun's Dazhai honestly and unceremoniously. Meng Huo was afraid that Liu Xun would come up with a strange formation such as fire oxen and fire horse, so that Wutuogu sent more people to patrol the village to prevent robbery. He spent the whole night in fear, nothing happened, and he couldn't help but look depressed.

Another day later, Zhao Yun came back to challenge early in the morning. Wu Tu Gu led the army, and Zhao Yun turned around again and ran away. Wu Tugu led the troops to chase, Zhao Yunjun threw his helmet and armor, and fled in embarrassment. After running for a while, seeing a white flag not far in front, Zhao Yun hurriedly led the defeated soldiers to the white flag, and found that there had been a camp there, so he set up in the middle of the village. After a short while, Wutugu drove his troops to chase him, Zhao Yun abandoned the village and left, but Wutugu honestly and rudely occupied Dazhai.

Fleeing and chasing like this, fifteen days passed in a blink of an eye, Zhao Yun repeated defeats, repeated defeats, defeated fifteen battles in a row, and lost eight camps. I thought that I had never been so useless before, and I couldn't help but feel a little sad, and cursed the 18th generation of Meng Huo and Wu Tu Gu's ancestors.

Zhao Yun escaped quite depressed, but his mouth was crooked with joy, and he drew the troops forward. Whenever he saw the lush forest along the way, he did not dare to enter lightly. The sentry sent out to investigate carefully, and found that there was an ambush in the shade of the tree. Wu Tugu thought that the Central Plains Barbarians also had this ability, he could see through them at a glance, and said to Meng Huo, "Sure enough, this Central Plains Barbarians will only ambush, and it's useless, haha!" "

Meng Huo smiled and said, "They are just as capable. The king has defeated him by fifteen battles and won eight camps. Zhao Yun is watching the wind and Liu Xun is already struggling. I can't predict that Liu Xun will be caught in a few days. Come on, haha!"

After Wu Tu Gu heard what Meng Huo said, he was overjoyed, thinking about the mountain of gold and silver treasures Meng Huo had promised, his saliva flowed down involuntarily. Then I couldn't help laughing again, it seemed that victory was right in front of my eyes, and I was very happy in my heart...
