There is no fluke in success, even if you succeed by luck, it is also a kind of strength, Yun Zheng has always thought so.

The Khmer people are a good example of nothing, a family with a dilapidated house with a steeple roof, and two pieces of linen around their waists, and many more have nothing but the blowguns they carry on their backs.

Yun Zheng had been in contact with the high-level of the Khmer people before, such as a wise man like Yesu, and when he entered the jungle and began to contact the people at the bottom of the Khmer people, he knew why Yesu wanted to rely on the Song army to open up his own living space.

Ye Su is only thirty-two years old this year, and his appearance looks more like that of a seventy-two-year-old man, who has lived in the forest for many years without food and clothing, so that few of his people live past the age of twenty-five. What's even more terrifying is that these people don't know anything about the outside world, and the glorious history of their ancestors is only in the hands of wise men like Zài, and the rest of them are all living in the jungle.

When Ye Su told Yun Zheng about the tragic situation when the rainy season came, he saw that Yun Zheng didn't believe it, and said with a smile: "You are very welcome to come to Lin Mang in three months to be my general, and at that time, you will find that the most cruel hell in the Great Song Dynasty has arrived in Lin Mang, which is like heaven on earth." The people of the Great Song Dynasty are a group of people favored by the Buddha, and you should be satisfied, my general. ”

Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "Master Yesu, we will enjoy the one we have with peace of mind, because those are the rich inheritances left to us by our ancestors.

Thousands of years ago, my ancestors, like the Khmer people today, lived a life of drinking blood, and they also had to fight for a mouthful of food and powerful beasts in the wilderness, and they would be conscientious to protect the harvest of a little food.

My ancestors survived in a difficult environment, they transformed their living environment, expanded their living environment, and finally had the rich Great Song Dynasty.

Master, you still need to work hard, not for yourselves. Just for the sake of your own children and grandchildren, you have to work harder, we are like children with a strong and rich father, and all you have to do is to try to be that strong and rich father. ”

Nosu nodded. Shaking his cane, he said, "After this war, I want to take my clansmen to the Central Plains to see if the general can help us make the trip?" ”

Yun Zheng smiled: "Naturally, you can also become an envoy of the Hajj, as long as our emperor is respectful and gets some gifts casually, you can get a large number of rewards, it is estimated that those rewards can be exchanged for food enough for your whole clan to eat for half a year." ”

Yesu looked at Yun Zheng in a daze and said, "Is there such a good thing?" ”

Yun Zheng nodded bitterly and said, "That's true, our emperor is actually very easy to deceive, and countless people have already deceived him." He is still happy to be deceived, he likes to be deceived, this can't be helped, it's better for you to deceive the emperor than to let those guys I don't know deceive. At least you and Da Song are friends. ”

"I heard that the people in the Great Song Dynasty are the smartest people in the world, just like you, general......"

Yun Zheng waved his hand to stop Ye Suo's touting and knocked his head and said, "They are indeed very smart, but when it comes to this kind of thing, there is no trace of wisdom at all. Master Yesu, you have to be grateful, this kind of thing has never been told to anyone except you and me. ”

Yesu put down the wooden bowl in his hand, and folded his hands and thanked Yun Zheng sincerely. Then he continued to eat.

Yun Zheng took the monkey and began to inspect his team, and Han Niu, who ran to see the wild man eating, ran over and said to Yun Zheng: "Young master, young master, those people are eating bones and insects. ”

Yun Zheng frowned and said, "Joining the army didn't distribute fried rice to them?" ”

Han Niu said: "Yes, I saw that the logistics battalion was distributing food to them, and they smelled it." Then they put it in a sealed bamboo tube, and then they went to pick up the bones that the brothers had thrown away......"

There is no way to do it, it is estimated that those people have saved the food, and the Khmer and the Song soldiers think differently, now that they can fill their stomachs with bones and worms. I guess I don't want to waste those precious foods.

Yun Zheng found that this clearing appeared very strangely before setting up camp, it stands to reason that there should not be such a large clearing in Lin Mangzhong, it looks more like it has been artificially transformed.

I found a spear and picked open the ground, only to find lime less than a foot deep, and a thick layer of carbon underneath the lime, perhaps these two things cut off the growth of plants, and only some thick vine rhizomes emerged from the ground and covered the rocks.

Pick open the vines, and find that those rocks are not naturally generated, but a stone statue, the stone statue is carved very simple, with a long face and big eyes, and there is no special mark, neither a Buddha statue, nor a Taoist statue in the Great Song Dynasty, it is completely carved according to the appearance of the locals.

This should be a country in the forest, the average tribe does not have such a strong strength to carry out such a huge project in the forest, and there are broken city walls at the edge, but countless banyan trees grow in the cracks of the stones.

This should be a good place to build a forward base, as a transit station, it should be excellent, those merchants have begun to send people to cut down trees to build houses and warehouses here, once they get their hands on Thang Long Mansion, they can quickly transfer the goods here, and then use the relay method to quickly transfer the goods to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

Yun Zheng explored the topography here, not to study archaeology, but to see if this place could become a qualified military fortress, in case the war was unfavorable, he still had a place to fight and retreat, and the three caves of the cunning rabbit were not many at any time.

Seeing the soldiers all lying naked on the rocks basking in the sun, Yun Zheng was not harsh, after many days of marching, their feet and bodies had some ulcers, and the sun was undoubtedly the best cure.

As soon as there are many people, the smell is heavy, Yun Zheng saw some colorful pythons wriggling on the side of the city wall, and the gunpowder bomb made a roar from time to time, where there was a sound, there would be a tattered python that was blown up and carried back by the Khmer people happily divided into a section of meat, no wonder the Khmer people were reluctant to eat fried rice, these snake meat was enough for them to have a full meal.

Those Khmer people ate almost everything, and they refused to let go of the bones that Han Niu said, smashing them with stones, and then swallowing them with their necks up, wriggling their Adam's apples, like pythons devouring food.

The medical officers of the Jiazi battalion walked through the crowd, looking at these sun-basking Wu Shengjun as if they were watching their own harvest, and demanded that these people must expose every part of their body, especially the crotch, which is the most vulnerable area to infection.

There were also some medical officers who were treating the savages, whose skin did not fester as easily as Wu Shengjun's skin, and most of the injuries they received were abrasions and lacerations, and many of them needed the medical officer to stitch up the wounds.

They treated their wounds very simply, some green leaves were chewed in their mouths, until they were chewed into a paste, and then they took the leaves and wrapped them in their wounds, and those medical officers had already picked a lot of the kind of leaves and planned to start studying them after they went back, because the curative effect of that thing seemed to be very good, and it would stop bleeding immediately after being pasted, especially after the leaves were chewed by those people's dirty mouths, there was no inflammation on the wound, and in such a hot and humid weather, there was no inflammation, which was too rare.

At the meeting, Yun Zheng breathed a sigh of relief after listening to the reports of various departments, the situation of attrition was not strict, and the preparations he made before departure played a good protective role. The journey has already been walked for thirty percent, and the dead and seriously injured soldiers have not yet appeared, which gives Yun Zheng great confidence.

The people of Shu are different from the Northwest Frontier Army, the Wusheng Army is stationed in the warm and humid Shu all the year round, and it is still suitable for the climate here.

As a suspicious soldier, Yu Jing didn't know how long he could deceive Li Rizun, at this moment, Di Qing must have turned around and prepared to face Gao Zhisheng's army, Yun Zheng's most worried thing was that as soon as he walked out of Lin Mang, he would face the sniping of Li Rizun's army.

The soldiers are now eager to enter Thang Long Mansion as soon as possible to end their long march, and only when they enter Thang Long Province and their own 10,000 miles trek is meaningful, this protracted war will end completely.

The next day, the weather was good, and the sun was like a huge red fruit, spraying thin in the forest. Chao Dun was brilliant, the arc of the mountains, and the outline of the forest sea were all eroded by golden light. There was a light rain last night, and the traces of rain when I woke up in the morning have been easily erased by the endless life of the rainforest. This huge tribe of life has been baptized, and it is even more glorious. Lush foliage is covered with overnight raindrops, sucking the morning sun, and a waterfall of carefree singing of birds pours down in the shade.

The medical officer strongly advised that he rest for another day, and in another day, the soldier's ulcerated skin will scab over, and the human body has a familiar process with nature, and it will be difficult for the skin to fester.

Yun Zheng accepted this simplicity, he originally planned to rest for two days, since God gave face, then stay one more day.

Eat crocodile for breakfast, this is the construction of Yesu, that kind of terrifying creature was easily made out of the mire by a few Khmer people, ask the Song people to borrow a sharp dagger to disembowel it, when they heard that they did not have a sharp knife, they all started from the mouth of the crocodile with a stone knife.

The crocodile meat cut into small pieces was thrown into the cauldron, and it was cooked without much effort, and Yun Zheng really couldn't eat the crocodile eyeballs that Ye Su specially cut out and dedicated to the distinguished guests, so he had to run away and eat his own millet porridge honestly, because of this matter, Yun Zheng was complained by Ye Su for many months, thinking that this was the biggest disrespect to him.

Even if you are disrespectful, you don't eat crocodile eyes, you are not Liang Ji, and Xiaolin, the two of them swallowed that thing in one bite, and they also told Yun Zheng that it tasted good.
