Chapter 296
People do unconsciously love to nag when they are old, Lao Wang is like this, but Luo Yu did not show impatience, but quietly listened to Lao Wang's nagging with memories.
"Oh, look at me, I'm far away again, and I haven't answered the general's question yet. ”
After talking for a long time, Lao Wang woke up.
"You keep going. ”
Luo Yu actually used honorifics.
"Oh, that's right, but this road goes straight to the Nanban King City, and there is a fork in the road less than a hundred miles away from the King City, and to the south is the King City of the South Elephant Kingdom. ”
Lao Wang didn't dare to nag, so he hurried to get down to business.
"Well, isn't that a big detour? ”
"Yes, if you want to go to the Southern Elephant Country, you have to go like this, otherwise you will get lost in the mountains and forests. ”
"Well, then I'll bother you to find that way first. ”
Although it is far away, it is better than getting lost in the mountains and forests, in fact, at this time, Luo Yu did not know that something had happened in the Southern Barbarian Country.
Lao Wang is really not the kind of pompous person, it only took less than half a day to find the simple road that was built decades ago, and at this time this road is not a road, but it is finally this deserted road, the trees are low and not so stout, and if you look closely, you can still find traces of people walking.
This shows that this road has always been walked.
"It seems that this road can only be regarded as a sheep intestine path, oh, no, it is not a sheep intestine path, alas, there is still a road, Wang Lao, it depends on you. ”
Luo Yu only smiled bitterly, there are some traders on this road, adventurers are okay, if you want 30,000 horses to be unblocked, it takes some effort, but there is finally something, as long as you follow the traces of this road, you will not go wrong, you will not get lost.
Since there is no other way to go, I have to take this road.
This is also Luo Yu's boldness and trust in Lao Wang, an old fisherman, and because of this, he embarked on a battlefield that was contrary to the plan.
Two days later, the 30,000 tiger army finally walked out of the deep mountains and old forests, and when the front was wide and cheerful, everyone felt like they had walked through the underworld.
Luo Yu also let out a sigh of relief, and a hanging heart finally let go.
Looking back at his 30,000 beggar army, he shook his head with a wry smile.
"Give the order to go down, bury the pot and cook a good rest. ”
Finally, the pot and food were not thrown away, otherwise the 30,000 people would have to gnaw on the bark, so that there would be no need to fight.
found a spacious place to camp and rest, but Luo Yu and the generals couldn't rest yet, Luo Yu found Lao Wang, in addition to thanking him, the following journey had to rely on him.
"Brother Wang, where are we now?"
Now the map is almost useless for Luo Yu and others, because of the cloudy weather, they can't even tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, this old king is recommended by Zhang Chongde, Luo Yu's trust in Zhang Chongde, only to put the lives of 30,000 soldiers and horses on the old Wang, the old king lives up to expectations, it is really a lucky thing.
"Now we are located about one hundred and twenty miles northeast of Shikan City, and we will reach that fork in the road after walking a few dozen miles. ”
Luo Yu compared the map for a while, and finally found a sign: coconut camphor ditch.
"Camphor ditch. ”
"Well, this place has such a name, if it's the rainy season, don't talk about the miasma here, even the great monks don't dare to stay here, it's okay now, the temperature is low, the miasma doesn't come out, but we can't take it for too long, because we don't bring much drinking water, and drinking the water here will be poisoned." ”
Luo Yu was startled, he didn't say that he wouldn't let the soldiers get water on the spot.
Seeing Luo Yu's anxious appearance, Lao Wang waved his hand and smiled.
"General, don't worry, I've already thought of it for you, and let people tell me about it. ”
"Thank you so much. ”
Luo Yu was grateful and sincerely thanked, if it wasn't for Zhang Chongde's recommendation of Lao Wang this time, not only would he not be able to complete the task, but he would probably be planted here, or even take his life.
So Luo Yu gave an order here, and the army left here after resting for two hours.
Two hours later, it was almost noon.
When the camp was set up and the village was on the way to the three-way intersection, the dark clouds dispersed and the sun showed its face, but it was already about to fall into the western mountain.
"Shall we move on or shall we set up camp and rest?"
Luo Yu completely put Lao Wang but the staff.
"General, it's time for you to replenish grain and grass, on the way to the Southern Elephant Kingdom, I'm afraid it will be difficult to raise grain and grass again, and no one will be willing to sell it to you even if you pay for it. ”
Luo Yu thought about it and understood that the Southern Barbarian Country and the Southern Elephant Country were not grain-producing areas, just like the Southern Barbarian Country, most of the living materials they needed, especially the grain, were bought at high prices from the original Southern Suli Country.
Now because of Zhao Wen, the living materials of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom are exchanged with the Xia Kingdom for the special products and minerals of the Nanban Country, and some of them are aided by the Xia State.
"Let's set up camp here first, tomorrow I'm afraid that someone will borrow grain from Lord Zhao. ”
So the Huwei army camped on the spot.
Just as the encampment was about to be completed, he suddenly ......
