Film and TV: Traveling through countless worlds at the same time

After the army was formed, the emperor bestowed the name "Red Flame" and the "Red Flame Army Flag" as its grand banner. Soldiers wore silver armor and red robes, with silver fire medals around their necks and Red Flame bracelets on their wrists. These bracelets were engraved with the names of each Red Flame soldier. If they died on the battlefield, they could use these bracelets to identify their remains, a sign of respect for the fallen.

With its elite soldiers, excellent equipment, ample supplies, experienced generals, and the trust of the emperor and his ministers, it became the army that Emperor Liang relied on most after he ascended the throne, and was stationed there year-round to defend the northern border.

In the Red Flame Army, below Lin Xie, there were thirteen highest-ranking generals, each commanding a battalion of soldiers.

In addition, the Chiyan Army later established the Chiyu Battalion, commanded by Lin Xie's only son, Lin Shu, which could act independently before the main army.

And Lu Xiao's father was one of the original thirteen commanders.

Not only his father, but also his elder brother, who was also his father's most capable deputy general.

However, as time passed, Emperor Liang gradually began to distrust the Red Flame Army.

Until twelve years ago, when Lin Xie led an army of 70,000 soldiers under imperial order and encountered the elite troops of the Great Yu Emperor at Meiling.

Both sides fought bloody battles. The 70,000-man Red Flame Army, using strategic tactics and the advantages of the terrain, ultimately annihilated the 200,000-man Imperial Army after three days and three nights of fierce fighting. As a result, Dayu dared not cross the border for the next thirteen years.

Although the war was won, Chiyan suffered heavy casualties and was exhausted.

After the bitter victory, the soldiers relaxed, and they were exhausted both physically and mentally from the fierce battle they had just experienced.

In the end, they were slaughtered by the 100,000 western border guards led by Xie Yu, the Marquis of Ningguo in Daliang, and Xia Jiang, the head of the Xuanjing Division in Daliang, who nominally came to support them.

Afterwards, the two ordered the camp to be set on fire to destroy the evidence, nearly wiping out 70,000 soldiers, and were charged with treason.

In the Battle of Meiling, the Chiyan Army was almost wiped out, with only a handful of people surviving.

Lu Xiao is one of them.

Speaking of this, everyone will definitely find it strange.

Lu Xiao clearly knew the fate of the Red Flame Army, so why did he join them and go to Meiling?

This is a long story.

Initially, when Lu Xiao learned that his father and brother were generals of the Red Flame Army, his first instinct was to persuade them to voluntarily leave the army.

But he was only three years old at that time.

Do you think people will listen to what a three-year-old says?

Even if Lu Xiao tried to come up with excuses, it would be of no avail.

Most of the time it was just a joke to children.

Sometimes he talked too much, and Lu Xiao's father simply didn't bother to talk to him anymore and would just pick up a stick and beat him.

In Lu Xiao's memory, his brother often took the beatings from his father.

This led to a good relationship between him and his elder brother during his childhood.

But his father wasn't bad either.

Lu Xiao's mother died of illness shortly after giving birth to him, so he grew up without a mother.

Therefore, the love his father and elder brother showed for him could definitely reach the level of spoiling.

Of course, the premise is that we don't mention asking him to leave the Red Flame Army.

After being beaten so many times, Lu Xiao gradually understood the importance of the "Red Flame Army" to his father.

It was absolutely impossible to get him to leave voluntarily. His father and brother would never desert, even if it meant death.

So Lu Xiao planned to change his strategy.

He believed that he was a time traveler and that he must have a way to change the fate of the Red Flame Army.

After all, that's what's written in the book.

Every time traveler is a child of destiny and the protagonist of the future era. There is nothing in the world that they cannot accomplish.

Regarding this, Lu Xiao could only laugh at himself now. He was really arrogant and terrifying at that time.

However, he certainly didn't know this at the time.

After deciding to change his strategy, Lu Xiao took the initiative to practice martial arts from the age of five.

This training lasted for eight years.

Eight years later, at the age of thirteen, Lu Xiao joined the Red Flame Army and began to plan a path to change his fate.

He wanted to change the fate of the Red Flame Army through his own efforts.

Everything went smoothly at first.

Although Lu Xiao was young when he joined the camp, his eight years of hard training in martial arts were indeed real.

Not to mention his peers, even Lin Shu, the Young Marshal of the Red Flame Army, who was a year older than him, was no match for him.

It's worth noting that Lin Shu was also thirteen years old when he joined the Red Flame Army, which means he joined just one year earlier than Lu Xiao.

However, when Lu Xiao arrived, he was already quite famous in the Red Flame Army.

Over the past year or so, Lin Shu had already been on the battlefield, mastering thin armor and silver spears, using extraordinary tactics and brilliant strategies, and he had never been defeated.

Of course, Lu Xiao's performance was not bad either.

As soon as he joined the Red Flame Army, he defeated Lin Shu and became a famous figure in the army.

After that, his performance on the battlefield was no worse than Lin Shu's at the beginning.

Although he is somewhat inferior to Lin Shu in terms of wisdom and strategy, his bravery can make up for this deficiency on the battlefield.

Therefore, not long after, Lu Xiao and Lin Shu were collectively known as the "Red Flame Twin Stars."

A year later, sixteen-year-old Lin Shu was awarded the title of "General of Cavalry" for his outstanding military achievements. Lin Xie then made an exception and allowed him to lead a battalion of the army's elite troops, known as the "Red Feathers."

This camp had two lieutenants, and Lu Xiao, who had also made many military achievements, was naturally transferred to the Chiyu Camp to serve as one of the lieutenants.

As for the other spot, it was taken by a guy named Wei Zheng.

Don't feel weird.

The Red Flame Army has strict military discipline, and those who have made contributions will be rewarded, while those who have made mistakes will be punished.

Age has never been a criterion for determining whether a person can be promoted in the Red Flame Army.

Besides, Lu Xiao's father is the Red Flame Commander, Lieutenant General Lin Xie.

Lu Xiao, as a son, is the deputy general of the Red Flame Marshal Lin Shu. If this gets out, it will only become a good story.

Chapter 293: Poison Master Lu Xiao

Lu Xiao and Lin Shu have completely different styles on the battlefield.

Since ancient times, military strategists have considered four forces: military strategy, military yin and yang, military skills, and military situation.

A strategic strategist is someone who defends the country with righteousness, employs surprise in military operations, plans before engaging in battle, and takes the overall situation into account, encompassing both yin and yang, employing skill.

Yin and Yang follow the flow of time, promote punishment and virtue, fight and strike, and triumph according to the five elements, relying on ghosts and gods for assistance.

Skills are acquired through training the hands and feet, mastering the use of weapons, and accumulating strategies to achieve victory in attack and defense.

The situation is like thunder and lightning, the wind rising, the last to strike but the first to arrive, the separation and combination, the changeable and unpredictable, it is the one that defeats the enemy with lightness and speed.

Representative figures of the Machiavellians include: Sun Wu, Bai Qi, Han Xin, Wei Qing, Li Jing, Guo Ziyi, Yue Fei, etc.

Representative figures of Yin and Yang include Zhang Liang, Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Liu Bowen, etc.

Representative figures of the skillful ones include: Tian Dan, Zhou Yu, Guan Yu, Lu Xun, Qi Jiguang, etc.

Lin Shu's fighting style leans towards that of a "military strategist."

As for Lu Xiao himself, his fighting style is that of a "military situation".

Representative figures of the situational type include: Xiang Yu, Huo Qubing, Liu Xiu, Lanling King, Li Shimin, Li Cunxu, etc.

Strictly speaking, there is no difference in the four powers, they just have different fighting styles.

Of these four strengths, if one can master one of them, he will surely become a famous general through the ages.

Over the next three years, the Red Feather Battalion fought countless battles, both large and small, and was unstoppable wherever they went, terrifying even the powerful enemies in the north.

During this process, Lu Xiao also formed a deep comradeship with Lin Shu and the soldiers of the Red Flame Army.

Therefore, his determination to change the fate of the Red Flame Army naturally became more and more resolute.

Unfortunately, there are some things in this world that cannot be forced by human power.

Even in the following years, Lu Xiao tried everything he could to change the fate of the Red Flame Army.

Twelve years ago, Lin Xie finally obeyed the imperial order and went to war.

Although Lu Xiao was able to escape at that time.

Just pretend to be sick or make some other excuse.

After all, he doesn't have to go on every expedition.

But by then, Lu Xiao had already been assimilated into the atmosphere of the Red Flame Army.

Even after the imperial edict came out, he already knew that he was powerless to change the situation.

But there are some things in this world that are more important than your own life.

Even though he knew the outcome was predetermined, Lu Xiao finally understood his father and brother.

I know why they would rather die than desert.

So he went too, intending to make one last effort.

He tried his best to save as many people as possible.

He even left a lucky bag for his father, reminding him to check the contents after the battle with Dayu.

If you tell something too early, no one will believe it even if it is the truth.

But if there is a warning before something happens, even if people don't believe it, they will at least be prepared.

He hoped that his actions could change something.

As for whether there was any change in the end, Lu Xiao was not sure.

Because the battlefield of the Red Feather Camp is not in the same place as the main battlefield of the Blazing Flame Camp.

He only knew that the ending would still be the burial of 70,000 Red Flame soldiers at Meiling.

He and the Chiyu Battalion led by Lin Shu were also ambushed.

Although he had made preparations in advance, the number of enemies was too great.

Even if they fought to the death, they still couldn't change the fate of the Red Flame Army.

However, he, Lin Shu, Wei Zheng, and a few soldiers from the Chiyu Battalion all managed to survive.

Later they were rescued by Langya Pavilion.

But it was also because of this that he, like Lin Shu, was poisoned by the fire and cold poison.

This poison is the most terrible poison in the world.

Although there are methods to treat this poison in Langya Pavilion, none of them can completely cure it.

Method 1 is to only save your life to the greatest extent possible and remove most of the toxins from your body without affecting your health.

But the price of doing so is that the tongue will become stiff and unable to speak normally, and white hair will grow on the body.

It looks just like the one in the Ape Cage II, Emu III.

The second method is complete detoxification. This involves an extremely painful process of peeling and grinding the bones, crushing them, and extracting the poison. The upside is that after detoxification, the patient's appearance will be normal, the tongue will regain its softness, and normal speech will be possible, but the appearance will be drastically different. The biggest downside is that the patient will suffer from frequent illnesses and injuries, with recurring colds and a shorter lifespan.

In the end, Lu Xiao chose the same detoxification method as Lin Shu.

Because he wants revenge.

And a monster cannot take revenge.

If you want revenge, you can only use the second antidote.

The pain of having one's skin peeled and bones crushed, the pain of having poison extracted from one's bones shattered, was unimaginable to others, but Lu Xiao persevered through it, relying on the hatred in his heart.

What doesn't defeat you only makes you stronger.

The same is true for pain.

After the poison was removed, he and Lin Shu, who had changed his name to Mei Changsu, came to the Jiangzuo area and jointly founded the Jiangzuo League.

As for himself, he changed back to his previous life name - Lu Xiao.
