"Han Xin, is this your idea or the general's idea?" After hesitating for a long time, Hu Kuan put down the half of the sugarcane in his hand and spoke.

"Brother Hu, this is my own idea!" Han Xin replied cautiously.

"Do you know that the Taiyi Divine Thunder is your brother's most top-secret item, and no one can use it without his secret order?"

"I know, I know, but now the canals are about to be repaired, and it is very troublesome to transport them back, and if I don't completely kill the turtle of Yihu Song this time, I'm afraid this battle will take another year or two to end, and now the soldiers are not accustomed to the soil and water and begin to get sick, and the longer the time drags on, the more serious the casualties of my Daqin soldiers will be, and you see my body, there are mosquito bites everywhere, and some of them have begun to suppurate......"

Han Xin lifted his clothes to reveal the skin on his waist, and sure enough, he saw that his body was covered with dense pimples and measles, many of which had really begun to change color and suppuration.

Hu Kuan looked at the pimples of mosquito bites on his bare arms, which were also large and small, and his face was twisted and tangled like bitter melon.

As the chief official of the construction of the Ling Canal, although the canal is basically about to be completed, as long as this war does not end for a day, he will be stationed in the Ling Canal for inspection and repair, so as to prevent the canal from being blocked by mud and rocks or the embankment from collapsing, that is to say, if he can't conquer Xiou quickly, he will also have to stay here to endure mosquito bites all year round, and several craftsmen and craftsmen sent by the Academy of Sciences this time have been unable to bear it and have been sent to Yuechengling for cultivation, and one of them is even dying and doesn't know if he can survive. Moreover, the people and convicts who built the canal were also unable to adapt to the water and soil and could not withstand the bites of mosquitoes, snakes and ants, and there were many deaths and injuries in the past year or so, and at least hundreds of corpses were buried under the embankments on both sides of the canal.

"Brother Hu, if you give me a word or not, I will go back to the general!" Looking at Hu Kuan's tangled appearance, Han Xin said helplessly after tidying up his clothes.

Hu Kuan scratched the pimples on his arms, the more he looked at them, the more he thought about the pimples bitten by these mosquitoes, the more itchy and unbearable, as if the itching was unbearable to the bone marrow, and the skin had to be cut to make it feel better, but according to the experience of the past, once these pimples were cut, they would suppurate after a few days, and then the skin would begin to fester.

"If I promise to take out gunpowder to deal with Yi Hu Song, then Hou Ye will ask you to help me intercede!" After silently shaving his arm for a long time, Hu Kuan finally forced himself to stop, and then stared at Han Xin directly.

"Really? Haha, Brother Hu, don't worry, if my brother asks, you will push it on me yourself, just say that I took the soldiers to forcibly smash open the treasury and snatch the gunpowder! Han Xin jumped up happily and nodded again and again, his mouth bursting to the back of his head with laughter.

"That's fine, you go back to the general, and when the time comes, I will arrange for the craftsman to dress up as a soldier and send Taiyi Shenlei to the barracks, remember, all the process has nothing to do with me, and whether you win or lose, it has nothing to do with the Academy of Sciences!"

"That's that, Brother Hu, you put your heart on the navel, as long as you use the Taiyi Shenlei to kill the Yihu Song, the general will completely conquer Lingnan in two months at most, and we can all return to Xianyang early to eat and drink spicy food, and then I will definitely invite Brother Hu to go to Quyuan to play a few little ladies, so as not to feed mosquitoes every day in this ghost place where birds don't!" Han Xin nodded excitedly like a chicken pecking rice.

"You have to talk about it, Brother Hu, I haven't seen a woman for more than a year, and when the time comes, I want seven little ladies to serve, don't be reluctant to spend money!" Hu Kuan's face instantly bloomed and a smile appeared.

"Brother Hu, rest assured, when the time comes, you will be satisfied, I will go back to the barracks to pass the general, and say goodbye!" Han Xin couldn't wait to say goodbye, and rode straight to the front line barracks.

"These shitty barbarians, I hope I can really blow up these bastards this time, and I've had enough of this ghost place!"

After digging all over his body, Hu Kuan continued to gnaw on the sugar cane and walked out of his shed, asking the guards to go and find Shi Lu and several craftsmen in charge of blasting from the Academy of Sciences to discuss.

Between the mountains and mountains at the junction of the Qin army and the Xiou tribe, the Qin army, which had been pacified for several days, began to move again.

Tens of thousands of troops were dispatched one after another, and began to approach the hiding place of the Xiou tribe along the large and small ravines.

Two days later, in the other direction, there were also tens of thousands of Qin troops along a river valley continue to advance, depending on the situation, they want to attack on both sides, and the Qin army also shouted loudly to capture the Song Dynasty alive during the attack, and the huge momentum shook the area of dozens of miles, not only made the Xiou tribe who had just been hiding for a few days start to be nervous again, but also the wild beasts all over the mountains were also frightened and scurried around, roaring constantly in the mountains and ravines, and even clashed with the Yue tribe and even the Qin army who were hiding, and the rumbling battle and screams resounded endlessly in the mountains and fields.

The Qin army was fierce, and Song knew that his tens of thousands of men could not resist, so he could only continue to retreat into the deep mountains and valleys while harassing him, and after two days of pursuit, Song led hundreds of tribes to retreat into a canyon.

And after arriving here, the Qin army also encountered great trouble, because there were cliffs on both sides of the canyon, and there was a raging river in the middle, and the Yue people of the Xiou tribe were like apes along the boulders on the river bank and the vines on the edge of the cliff and jumped on the swing and quickly fled into the canyon, and the armored Qin army could not chase at all, so they could only watch the Yue people swing and run while laughing loudly.

"General, this place is called the Monkey Valley, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the translation of Song must be trying to repeat the old tricks, so we have no choice but to retreat!" A lieutenant led a few local surrendered Yue people to Wang Ben to report to him.

"It's okay, Ben Hou just wants him to escape in this time, where is Han Changshi?" Wang Ben didn't care and looked back for Han Xin.

"General, your subordinates are here!" Han Xin wore a tattered straw hat and ran from a pile of craftsmen from the Academy of Sciences, who also made up and became Yue.

"The next thing will be left to you, this time it was not easy to use 100,000 troops to bring Yihu Song here, if he is allowed to escape again, it will definitely take more troubles, and he must succeed at one time!" Wang Ben patted Han Xin's shoulder and admonished.

"Don't worry, the general, his subordinates will take people to the ridges on both sides of the canyon to observe with binoculars, as long as they find the location where Yihu Song is hiding, they will definitely be able to bombard him!"

"Well, go ahead, Benhou is waiting for your good news!"

"Huh~" Han Xin turned around, and soon led a group of craftsmen from the Academy of Sciences to climb along the ancient vines along the cliffs on both sides with the prepared gunpowder and fuses under the escort of a group of forbidden troops, and soon disappeared on the top of the cliff.

Half an hour later, Han Xin and a group of craftsmen had reached the ridge above the inner side of the canyon, hiding near an exposed cliff and looking into the valley with binoculars.

This valley is not big, there are also cliffs on both sides of it, but there is a waterfall at the end of the canyon, which hangs down from the cliff seven or eight zhang high, and rumbles into a waterhole below.

This is not to blame these Yue people for being easily high-profile, but it is true that the Qin army can't attack it, jumping stones and swinging is really not the skilled skills of the Qin army, if you are not careful, you will fall into the river and drown, this kind of terrain The Qin army has encountered countless times, each time at the cost of many dead and injured people and then had to retreat, and even if some bodies rushed into the canyon flexibly, they were greeted by the bows and arrows of the Yue people, basically they died as much as they entered, and they were lucky to be able to escape, so after several times, Generally, when encountering this kind of terrain, the Qin army will be discouraged, and the Yue people have also figured out this habit of the Qin army through continuous battles.

As for attacking from the ridges on both sides of the canyon, it is also very difficult, because these Yue people are all monkeys, climbing over the mountains and mountains are like walking on flat ground, once they find that a large number of Qin troops appear on the ridge, they will climb the cliffs and quickly escape, basically every time they are empty, so the Qin army does not do such a thankless thing now.

After Han Xin finished observing, he handed the telescope in his hand to Hu Kuan, who was dressed as a Yue person next to him.

"Brother Hu, the big man sitting on the stone by the waterhole with his chest and breasts bared is Yihu Song, how do you think you can blow him up?" Han Xin pointed to Yihu Song's position and asked in a low voice.

"Well, the distance is a bit far, almost thirty zhang, I don't have such a big arm to throw the Taiyi Divine Thunder over, and there is a waterhole over there, if it falls into the water, the lead may be extinguished...... Come on, you can wait and take a look......" After Hu Kuan finished reading it, he handed the telescope to several craftsmen in charge of blasting around him and observed it.

"It's a bit far, if only it could go around the top of the waterhole!" A craftsman said after reading it.

"No, there is no way to go on the ridge, if you want to go around it for at least an hour, it will be dark, and once these barbarians find out, they will inevitably climb away, and a few days of hard work will be in vain!" Han Xin shook his head.

"Then we can only find a way to get these Yue Barbarians out of the waterhole and get closer to us, and it's best to be about ten zhang away......"

"I'm afraid it's not easy to ......"

A group of people hid on the ridge while observing and trying to find a way, and suddenly it was half a little past, but they still didn't come up with a good way, and a group of Yue people in the valley had already begun to lie on the ground and prepare to rest and sleep, it seemed that they were ready to wait until the Qin army outside the valley retreated before making plans.
