The Jinling army passed through Changsha and entered the territory of Wuling County.

The Jingnan region is very vast, similar to places like Changsha County and Wuling County, if one of the counties is changed to the north, it can almost catch up with the territory of a state.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the economic development areas of the Han Dynasty were all developed around the Yellow River Basin, and the degree of development of the border was relatively low.

Places like Wuling, although the area is extremely vast, but the economic and livelihood development in the county is really not very good, many places still exist in the form of tribes, sometimes there are almost no decent roads between a county town and another county, and some places, to the potters feel even similar to the tropical rainforest.

It's as if you've traveled back in time to ancient times.

On the way from Changsha to Wuling, it can be said that it is extremely difficult to walk, not to mention the muddy road along the way, and there are places where you can't see that it is a road, just like the road that a beast wades out.

According to the scout's report, Pang Tong's soldiers and horses had originally gathered in Suoxian, but after Liu Pan led the defeated army in Changsha to make peace with him, Pang Tong transferred all his soldiers and horses to Kongwei City.

For potters, it really doesn't make much sense to seize one city and one pond in Wuling County, or to count several cities and counties.

The urgency of the delay now is to find a way to break the main force of Pang Tong, as long as Pang Tong is defeated, it will be very easy to pacify these small broken counties in Wuling County.

Otherwise, even if the city is taken, it doesn't make much sense, Pang Tong will take it back, and it will cost military strength in vain.

The problem is that although the area of Wuling County is large, the repair of the truth is really not good, and there are many mountains and forests, which seems to be very backward, and the army is indeed quite troublesome to move from one place to another.

When the potters and others finally arrived at Kongcheng City, they got information that Pang Tong's soldiers and horses had migrated to the direction of Yuanling.

In desperation, the potters ordered the three armies to attack the city, and then stationed supplies in the city, and after resting for two days, they headed for Yuanling.

But when the Jinling army arrived at Yuanling, they found that Pang Tong's soldiers and horses had moved from Yuanling to other places two days earlier.

When he learned the news, Gan Ning of the Jinling Army was the first to be angry.

The leader of the water thieves stabbed the ground with a knife, and shouted irritably: "Pang Tong, this shameless ugly thief, rushed all the way from Nanjun to Jingnan, but he didn't even dare to fight face to face, he hid in the east and the west for a while, what kind of fight is this?" I'm really holding my breath and I'm dead! ”

The potter also smiled helplessly and said, "This Pang Tong is a little bit of a guerrilla war." ”

Gan Ning looked at him puzzled: "What is guerrilla warfare?" ”

The potter pondered for a moment and said: "Swimming is walking, hitting is fighting, the general meaning is to swim and attack, the essence of which is that the enemy advances and retreats, the enemy is stationed and disturbs, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase." ”

Gan Ning waited for his big eyes, pondered carefully for a while, and said, "The problem is, Pang Tong is now the enemy advancing and I am retreating, and I haven't seen him do anything else?" ”

The potter sighed and said, "So, he just tasted some fart hair, and he didn't have much use." ”

Gan Ning hurriedly said: "Since the other party is just rough and rough, then according to the prime minister's opinion, how should we fight this battle?" ”

"Continue to spy on the other party's location and continue to chase ...... It is necessary to confront his main army, otherwise the pacification of the south of Jingzhou is far away. ”

Gan Ning grinned when he heard this, and sighed: "Isn't this the same as not saying it." ”

……

After the school government's inquiry, the potter knew that Pang Tong's soldiers and horses were now retreating to Qianyang City.

It's another long-distance migration.

Faced with this situation, the potters had no choice but to continue to march towards Qianyang, along the way, the road was still muddy, there were jungles everywhere, and from time to time there were even wild beasts that appeared to attack the soldiers of the Jinling army.

But it's clear that these beasts are looking for the wrong target.

The soldiers of the Jinling Army all held their breath, they beat the beast as the Jingzhou army, and everywhere they passed, the tigers and leopards were frightened, the jackals were repelled, and the ghosts and spirits were all scattered, and the Tao army became a nightmare for the small animal kingdom.

Based on this, the potter had to move the slogan, demanding that the soldiers of the three armies immediately stop this kind of cruelty and killing, and to protect nature and wild animals.

However, these are only superficial difficulties, and the most dangerous situation begins with a soldier who begins to develop a rash all over his body......

At first, one of Zhou Tai's soldiers began to have a rash on his body and itched all over his body, and the officers and soldiers of the three armies did not take it seriously for a while, so they did not report it.

But then, the rash began to spread in a large area among the pottery merchants, and the people who got the rash became more and more sick, not only itchy all over the body, but also accompanied by some high fever symptoms, many people have appeared unable to march.

When the news reached the potter, the potter knew that something was wrong.

This may be the poisonous miasma that Shamoko told himself at the beginning...... In other words, it is an infectious disease.

According to the medical officer's report, the miasma infected by the officers and men of the three armed services at present did not kill anyone, but it seriously affected the morale and state of the three armed forces, and many soldiers had a high fever, let alone marching, and could not even stand steadily.

In desperation, the potter immediately asked the three armies to set up camp in situ, and take isolation measures to separate ordinary soldiers and ordinary soldiers.

Although the number of sick soldiers was reduced by such a hurried treatment, it still could not stop the increase in the number of sick soldiers, and the potters were in a stalemate for a while in the face of the temporary inability to set off.

……

A few days later, the news was heard by Pang Tongtan in Qianyang.

When Pang Tong heard this, he was overjoyed.

"Jin Junshou's move is really clever! No matter how capable the potter is, what can he do in the face of miasma? Now that his three armies are no longer formed, it is difficult to even march, so he can only stay where he is and sit and wait for death. ”

Jin Xuan arched his hand and said: "Although the miasma in the Wuling Mountains and forests is excessive, it does not cause people to die, and the body of the general sick person can heal itself within two months." ”

When Pang Tong heard this, he said: "In this way, I still have to quickly attack the potters within two months?" ”

"There's no hurry." Jin Xuan slowly admonished Pang Tong, with a look of ambition: "The miasma is generally a village or a pavilion in Wuling, and generally a person gets it, and the people who live near it will also get it, I expect that within 20 days to a month, half of the people in the pottery merchant army will inevitably reach half, and then two months later, they will heal themselves, so we will be punctual, and after 20 days, we will start to march to the pottery merchants, and it will be successful." ”

Pang Tong suddenly realized, and said: "But I don't understand, since the miasma can make the Tao army accept, why can't our army?" ”

Jin Xuan smiled: "This is the experience, and it is all thanks to the old soldiers in our Wuling army to guide the way, it is said that this miasma gas starts in the dense forest, and it is the most explosive in the humid place after spring, during this period of our transfer of the three armies, the last general has always let the old soldiers in the army as a guide, try to avoid the miasma-prone places, they are all people who have been in Wuling for a lifetime, what have you not seen?" Every year, they come over like this, and they don't know how many times they have gotten miasma in their lives, so they are naturally very experienced! It's beyond the reach of the Jinling Army. ”

When Pang Tong heard this, he suddenly realized.

At this time, a soldier came to report, saying that Zhang Fei asked to see him.
