Before the expedition, Jianwei explained the topography of the three valley roads to Lu Bu in detail.

Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. After weighing it, Lu Bu chose to march from Baoxie Road.

He led his army from Chang'an to Mei County, and then headed southwest.

Entering the valley road, the speed of travel slowed down significantly.

After walking for dozens of miles, the road narrowed and the ups and downs gradually increased, making it difficult for the soldiers to walk at every step.

Compared with the endless wilderness of Bingzhou, where cattle and sheep can be seen under the wind and grass, this place is simply a high mountain. If they want to move forward, they have to climb the mountain along the narrow path.

When he conquered Xiliang before, Lu Bu thought that the terrain of Xiliang was already dangerous enough, but now compared with this situation, it is simply nothing.

As for the Tangluo Road, which is the most difficult among the three valley roads, Lu Bu and the people under his command couldn't even imagine it.

Traveling to the deep mountains and ridges, there is no one inhabited, and the road is even more rugged.

In the mountains with fresh air, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, and streams are gurgling.

But at this moment, no one was in the mood to appreciate these things. Lu Bu and his soldiers were walking close to the cliff, only two or three feet wide.

Holding his breath and concentrating, he didn't dare to breathe, his nerves were even more tense than the fierce fighting on the battlefield, and he moved his steps carefully.

Even his legs trembled involuntarily, and he looked down, unable to see the bottom, the endless abyss, which made people dizzy.

wow~

There was a sound of mud and rocks falling, and Cao Xing, who was walking behind, stepped on the ground in a daze. There was no time to react, and the whole person fell straight down.

The moment he was stuck in the air, a thought flashed in Cao Xing's mind, and his eyes became dizzy.

Could it be... am I going to fall to my death like this?

At the very moment, a big hand grabbed Cao Xing's wrist from above and held him tightly against the edge of the cliff.

Song Xian's face came into Cao Xing's eyes. Holding a short dagger in his left hand, he penetrated deeply into the stone path on the ground. The right half of his body has already left the ground, hanging in mid-air, and may fall down the mountain at any time.

Even so, he grabbed Cao Xing's hand and never let go.

Seeing this, the soldiers on both sides rushed over to help and rescued Cao Xing.

After being rescued, Cao Xing sat on the ground, breathing in fresh air with empty eyes, while the soldiers around him smoothed his back.

Walking around the palace of the king of hell, Cao Xing was still in shock.

He turned his head and looked over, Song Xian had already got up and set off again.Although the two were always noisy on weekdays, Cao Xing also often poached Song Xian's corner.But at this moment of life and death, Song Xian risked his life without any hesitation to save himself.

Cao Xing got up from the ground, touched Song Xian, resumed his usual playful smile, winked and grinned and said: "Old Song, you really don't think about marrying your daughter to my son?"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The team fumbled forward among the mountains, and seven or eight days passed in a blink of an eye.

The distance of more than 400 miles, in exchange for the plains, Lu Bu can reach it by galloping for half a day, but in the dangerous mountains and fields, the daily traveling speed is only [-] to [-] miles.

It would probably take a month of effort just to complete this ramp.

On this day, Lu Bu led his army to the foot of a certain mountain.

There are many fences in the middle of the road ahead, blocking the way forward.

Behind the fence is a simple fortified city, patrolled by soldiers, with archery towers built on both sides, the terrain is extremely dangerous.

Lu Bu's army was walking on the narrow and long mountain road, with cliffs standing on the left and right sides, squeezing them in the middle.Lu Bu and his soldiers could only meander along the road, like a long snake that never ends.

The soldiers patrolling the walled city saw an army approaching, so they hurriedly sent someone to notify the captain, and the rest of the people put on a defensive posture.

Lu Bu raised his hand to signal the army to stop marching.

He inspected the fortified city in front of him. The scale of the fortified city here is not large, and the number of troops is estimated to be only five or six hundred.However, if you go down to the stronghold and guard the dangerous points, even if there are only a few hundred people, you can still contain an army of tens of thousands of people, and you will not be able to advance half a point.

The captain who was in charge of guarding this place went up to the village building, holding onto the railing, and shouted towards Lu Bu, "Who is here!"

Before Lu Bu could answer, Jian Wei who was beside him yelled angrily: "You are blind, this is Marquis Wen and General You of the Han Dynasty, so is Lu Bu! Hurry up and get out of the way!"

This reply caused a commotion among the soldiers in the city wall. Even in the valley road where the news was difficult to convey, they seemed to have heard of Lu Bu's reputation.

The well-built lieutenant lost all the confidence he had before, restrained his temper, and asked aloud, "Do you have proof?"

He is not a fool either, of course it is impossible to believe that the general leading the army is the famous Marquis Wen just based on Jian Wei's one-sided words.

Lu Bu took off the right general's seal on his waist, and asked Jian Wei to send it to the school captain for inspection.

He came to conquer Hanzhong this time, but Su Gu, the county guard, didn't know about it.

At the beginning Su Gu claimed that his illness would not allow him to enter the imperial court, but Lu Bu not only did not point it out, but instead pushed the boat along with the flow, comforting him with kind words, letting him recuperate well in Hanzhong, so as to numb his mind and make him careless.

Now it seems that it really worked.

After checking Lv Bu's seal of the right general, the captain immediately ordered the gate to be opened, removed the fence and antlers in the middle of the road, and personally led more than [-] soldiers from the fortress to welcome Lv Bu.

Lu Bu saw that it was getting late, so he ordered to rest here for the night, and set off again tomorrow.

At night, in Lu Bu's camp, Chen Gong, Cao Xing, Song Xian and others under his command gathered together.

"General, do you want us to do it tonight and take it away in one go?" Pan Feng's eyes revealed excitement, eager to try.

Since joining Lu Bu's tent, he has not made a single contribution, and those around him, Cao Xing, Song Xian, Ma Zhong, and Hou Cheng, who did not follow Lu Bu to fight on the battlefield, have made a contribution, and they are all fingers There are countless.

Take Cao Xing as an example, although he is not good at martial arts, but his bow is very accurate. Back then, Budugen, the third king of Xianbei, relied most on his advisers. He shot and killed the enemy general who died in the hands of Cao Xing. few.

Even Ma Chao, an underage kid, has contributed to Lu Bu's fame in Liangzhou.

Pan Feng was eager to prove his strength, so he proposed to kill all the soldiers in this village tonight.

As soon as Pan Feng finished speaking, he was stopped by Chen Gong.

"General, this is inappropriate!"

Chen Gong bowed his hands to Lv Bu, and talked about the advantages and disadvantages: "Our army has just arrived, and our army is not familiar with the military defenses, checkpoints and fortresses in Hanzhong. If you kill rashly, it is very likely that you will startle the snake."

"If someone escapes, go to the front to report the news, the future fortress may be even more dangerous. With only our 5000 soldiers and horses, it may be difficult to fight all the way into Hanzhong."

"If we meet a cruel person again and simply set fire to burn down all the plank roads, we will fall short this time."

Once the plank roads on the cliffs are burned down, it means that the traffic will be cut off. It will not be built well for three to five years.

Lu Bu thought for a while, weighed the pros and cons, and said to the generals in the tent, "Okay, you all should rest earlier. Recover your strength, and we will continue marching tomorrow."
