Jingzhou in July is extremely hot and humid, and the scorching sun is madly scorching the earth, making Xiangyang City like a big steamer.

Lupin stood in front of the Shadow Guard Mansion with his body straight and energetic.

After failing to participate in the selection of the shadow guard, he was sent here to guard the gate.

Even in this guarding gate, he was satisfied.

Although it is not as good as those who are really selected for the shadow guard, they still belong to the establishment anyway, and they still enjoy some privileges compared to ordinary soldiers.

The thought of his military salary, and those attractive benefits, Lupin was secretly happy in his heart.

He calculated that as long as he stayed here for a year, he would be able to marry his sister off with the money he earned.

In this way, it is worthy of the dead father.

Thinking of this, his hand holding the weapon harder, and he stood even straighter...

After an hour, even with a resolute character like him, it was a little unbearable.

Because, it's so hot!

Looking around without a trace, Lupin pushed his hand against the sun-burned helmet and wiped the dense beads of sweat from his forehead.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but curse secretly.

"This special weather is going to heat people to death!"

His ears moved slightly, listening to the shouts coming from inside the house.

Lupin was a little glad at the moment, glad that he was not selected, and he was still training intensively in this weather.

Looking at the dazzling sunlight and feeling the already wet clothes, he couldn't help but tremble.

Suddenly, he heard dense footsteps coming from the mansion, and quickly sorted it out.

Lupin was again grim-faced, standing tall.

With the afterglow of his eyes, he saw the person who walked out of the mansion, Shen Du, the commander of the Flying Tiger Army!

Shen Du, one of the three commanders, is almost unknown in the army.

led the army to take refuge in the lord, and the first time he made a move, he made trouble in Jiangdong, and the opponent turned around.

Later, he was directly promoted to the commander of the Flying Tiger Army, and his reputation was shocked.

Lupin sometimes fantasizes about whether he will one day be appreciated by the legendary all-powerful lord like him.

Since then, he has risen to the top, making his sister and his hometown proud of himself.

Thinking of this, Lupin even smiled a little.

Immediately, he shook his head with a wry smile, he was afraid that he was thinking too much.

Let's be honest and be a good guard!

Shen Du didn't know that his appearance would make people think about it.

At this moment, he was very anxious in his heart, and he received a message from Pang Tong.

He was asked to go to the lobby immediately, because the military report at the front showed that the Sun-Liu coalition army was rapidly advancing towards Jingzhou.

Quickly walked out of the Shadow Guard Mansion and passed by Lupin's side, Lupin immediately shook his whole body.

Make the most standard standing posture to show respect for Shendu.

It wasn't until Shen Du walked by that he breathed a sigh of relief.

But in an instant, there was an extreme feeling of nausea, and there was no warning.

Lupin only felt that his head was not buzzing, his vision suddenly blurred, and then he only saw the ground getting closer and closer to him.

"Plop" and fell to the ground.

Shen Du, who had just walked not far away, paused, and when he turned around, he saw Lu Ping lying on the ground.

"What are you still doing! Carry it down for treatment! Shen Du shouted coldly.

When the defenders standing around heard this, two of them immediately stepped up and carried Lupin into the Shadow Guard Mansion.

Shen Du stood in place, frowning and silent for a moment.

This isn't the first person to get fainted by the heat.

In the past half a month, the newly established three armies and one guard, especially the shadow guard.

Because of Xu Tian's high-intensity training, many people have already fallen on the hot training ground.

There has always been an air of impatience in the army, and Shen Du understands that if he continues like this, if he is not careful, something big will happen!

At this time, Sun Liu's army attacked in a big way.

After a while, Shen Du left here with a gloomy face...

…

When Shen Du hurried to the lobby, he saw several people standing in the distance.

Pang Tong, Wei Yan and others were all here, but they were all looking at something without saying a word.

Puzzled, he raised his feet and entered the hall, and Shen Du raised his eyes to look.

I saw Xu Tianzai and a few carpenter-like people, busy working around a huge wooden basin composed of wood, with a length and width of about three zhang.

Shen Du looked at Pang Tong and the others in disbelief, only to see that Pang Tong also spread his hands helplessly.

"It's... What's going on! Shen Du gently came to Pang Tong's side and asked in a very low voice.

"It is said that the lord has been busy here for a day and a night, and he hasn't even eaten!" Glancing at Xu Tian's direction, Pang Tong replied in a low voice.

"Shiyuan!" Shen Du was a little annoyed, and he pointed at Xu Tian, who was busy, and said.

"Now that the enemy army is pressing, we are still unprepared, looking at the lord like this, as a military advisor, why don't you admonish!"

When he said this, Shen Du did not lower his voice.

His words could be heard in the entire hall, and even Wei Yan kept glaring at him at this time.

"The rules are coming!" Xu Tian, who was busy not far away, stood up and stretched hard.

After moving his somewhat stiff body, he beckoned to Shen Du and the others.

"Come!"

The three of them glanced at each other and slowly stepped forward.

When they got closer, they realized. It turned out that on the wall next to it, there was something similar to a small water wheel.

However, Shen Du didn't care about this, he was very anxious at the moment.

"My lord! We have something urgent..."

Before he could finish his words, Xu Tian waved his hand and interrupted his words.

"General Wei, you lead troops all year round, when is this the most undesirable time to fight!" Xu Tian looked up at Wei Yan.

"Huh?" Wei Yan was a little puzzled, frowned and thought about it for a long time, but he didn't figure it out.

He said with a slight clenching of fists. "What does the lord mean..."

"I'll ask in a different way!" Xu Tian smiled slightly and spoke again.

"When marching and fighting, pay attention to the right time and place. When is the most unfavorable time for this day? ”

Saying this, Wei Yan suddenly sighed and spoke.

"If there are two situations that are most unfavorable for military operations.

Harsh winters and midsummers, which is actually quite understandable. ”

After speaking, Wei Yan regretted his statement a little, and he didn't have time to change his words, so he could only look at Xu Tian in embarrassment.

"That's it, wouldn't it be good for us to attack us at a time like this?"

didn't care about Wei Yan's way of speaking, Xu Tian said lightly.

Immediately, he looked at Shen Du, who was a little anxious, and the other party obviously had any concerns and hadn't said anything yet.

"Do you want to say that many people in the army have fallen ill due to the heat?"

"The lord knows everything!" Shen Du said suspiciously.

Xu Tian is becoming more and more mysterious in his eyes, as if what he wants to say and what he wants to do, the other party is all clear.

Looking at the three of them, Xu Tian smiled slightly and clapped his hands.

Two men walked out of the side room, and they were all holding an oversized wooden barrel.

After seeing the contents of the barrel, everyone in the hall opened their mouths wide at the same time...
