Chapter 240: The Forests of Lingnan
Gao Qiang hatefully spit out the bitter water that had entered his mouth, and then flicked the poncho and asked the winning money riding on the elephant, "Sir, what is the situation?" Tomorrow and tomorrow the sun is shining, and there is no cloud, how can it rain? ”
Win Qian shook his head and said, "It's not that it's raining, it's that the trees are raining." ”
Gao Qiang raised his head and looked at these big trees, and an insect more than a foot long fell on Gao Qiang's head, Gao Qiang pinched the insect and scolded and said, "Grandma, not only does it rain, but it also rains." ”
After speaking, he was ready to trample the insect to death, and Win Qian hurriedly stopped Gao Qiang's action, took the worm over, and then put it in his mouth, chewing slowly, green juice flowed down from the corner of Win Money's mouth, seeing the scene in front of him, Gao Qiang couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.
Winning the money and enjoying it very much, he said: "General Gao, when you enter the jungle, the jungle is the master, these insects are given to us by the jungle, we shouldn't waste them." ”
Gao Qiang arched his hand and said, "Be taught." With that, he fled.
Although Winwin has a very good ancestor, but now living in the jungle for more than three hundred years, their clansmen have long lost the glory of their ancestors, one by one began to evolve in the direction of savages, according to Winmoney, sometimes they really can't find food, will eat the old people in the clan as food.
Gao Qiang came to the back of the elephant and looked forward, hundreds of elephants with long trunks curled in front of the road, followed by hundreds of mules and horses, the jungle was densely packed with trees, if there were no war elephants, it would be difficult for these people to get out, and even when they had made full preparations, there were still more than 300 soldiers who died in the jungle.
No wonder Shu is not defended in this direction, this jungle is the most advantageous defense system of Shu.
The march in the dense forest was extremely difficult, especially the physical exertion was terrifying, so in less than two hours, the army began to rest again, and there was a small waterhole where Gao Qiang was sitting, and the water in this waterhole was very clear, and if you looked at the corpses of the beasts that had fallen on the edge of the pool, you would know that the water here was poisonous.
There is a lot of water in the jungle, but very little can be drunk, so the most important resource in this jungle is fresh water, and there are fifty mules and horses behind it to place clean water.
Gao Qiang took out a dry food from his arms and chewed it heavily, Gao Qiang's throat was very dry, but in order to save water, he could only swallow hard, and when he couldn't swallow it, he drank saliva.
At this time, Zhuo Shan sat on a war elephant and walked over slowly, Zhuo Shan's war elephant has a layer of light yarn, so it is very romantic, if a person walks in the jungle, sees Zhuo Shan's war elephant from a distance, he will definitely feel that he has met a fairy.
It's a pity that it was not a fairy who opened the yarn tent, but a lewd fat man, Zhuo Shan looked at Gao Qiang's difficulty, threw a small bottle of grape brew to Gao Qiang and said: "Old Gao, this is the best grape wine that Lao Tzu got from the Western Regions, and now it's cheap for you." ”
Gao Qiang looked left and right, saw that no one was paying attention to his side, and then quickly opened the bottle of grape wine, poured it into his mouth, and after drinking, Gao Qiang let out a sigh of relief, and returned the bottle to Zhuo Shan and said: "Lao Zhuo, I understand a piece of your heart, but don't drink too much during the war, you keep it for Lao Tzu, and wait for Lao Tzu to drink it after the war." ”
"When a bitch wants to set up an archway again, it's true." Zhuo Shan muttered, and then shouted for his large army to leave.
On this expedition to Lingnan, Zhuo Shan united more than a dozen caravans in Shuzhong to set off together, and Gao Qiang also asked Zhuo Shan: What kind of wealth can you make in this war? Zhuo Shan's answer was: The population of Shu is the biggest business, and what kind of armor, knives, etc., these things are not all money after being reforged.
And Zhuo Shan and Gao Qiang also set the rules of three seven accounts, Gao Qiang is three, Zhuo Shan is seven, the most unexpected thing is that Zhuo Shan The guards of these caravans are all from the slave hunting group, before entering the forest, Gao Qiang once tried to attack a small city, these guards are holding inferior gunpowder, all of them charge as if they are dying, so that Gao Qiang's regular army is a little ashamed, of course, if it is a frontal battlefield duel, these rabble are definitely not the opponents of their own army, but against the Shu army that is also a rabble, These people can still fight, so Gao Qiang agreed to Zhuoshan's request.
Not to mention that this expedition also made Gao Qiang see the power of money, just passed by Gao Qiang's side of a big fat businessman, this person's surname is Huang, everyone calls him Huang Fat, he followed the expedition this time with a dozen mules and horses, and he himself walked with the guards, and more than a dozen mules and horses became the uncle.
Gao Qiang couldn't help but ask: "Huang Fatty, are you missing a root in your brain?" Why don't you ride mules and horses? You love walking so much. ”
Huang Fat Man said with a sneer on his face: "General Gao, you don't know this, these mules and horses will be the main force to pull things out in the future, each one is an ancestor, one less horse Lao Huang may pull a lot less, it is better to kill Lao Huang me?" ”
After hearing this, Gao Qiang hid his face and fled......
After resting for half an hour, Gao Qiang roared angrily: "Okay, brothers, let's go." ”
Less than a quarter of an hour after he walked out, there was a noise in front, followed by an explosion of gunpowder, and Gao Qiang hurriedly asked his soldiers to go to find out the news.
Soon the soldiers came back, and the soldiers wiped the sweat on their heads and said: "General, I met a giant python in front, as thick as a tree, and was later killed by the former military gunpowder, but one of the guards of the yellow fat man was also entangled by the giant python. ”
Gao Qiang sighed, and set off again, after passing by the accident scene, Gao Qiang wanted to comfort the yellow fat man, who knew that the yellow fat man had no sadness at all, and was jumping up and down there screaming.
Gao Qiang walked over to take a look, a giant python was blown up and lay on the side of the road, blood was left on the ground, Huang Fat Man saw that it was Gao Qiang and hurriedly complained: "I said General Gao, it's really a tyrannical thing, such a thick giant python, it's about to turn into a dragon, if its snake skin is completely removed, it will be a priceless treasure, it's good now, you see that it is all holes that have been blown up." ”
Gao Qiang asked speechlessly: "I heard that one of your guards was killed by a giant python, why aren't you sad at all?" ”
Huang Fat replied with a smile: "When I came, I said that it was good, life and death are up to the sky, wealth and fortune are up to fate, Lao Xia is a gambler, but nine out of ten bets lost, when he came, he lost a pair of his children to Lao Tzu, this time he came to the condition that if he died, let Lao Tzu help him take care of the pair of children, I didn't expect a word, he was really dead, this time it's good, Lao Tzu has to help him take care of his children and adults, it's really a loss, so this time Lao Tzu must set off the skin of this animal, although it is broken, but it is estimated that it is worth some money. ”
Gao Qiang was completely defeated by the yellow fat man, Gao Qiang patted the yellow fat man on the shoulder and said: "If you can't get rich in the future, Lao Tzu will take these eyes off and step on them as." ”
