The head of the tribe pulled Tu Dengfu and said: "Go, I tell you to open your eyes and see how those Chu troops can deal with it if they encounter this formation." ”

Tu Dengfu asked, "Where are you going?" Is it far away? ”

The head of the tribe pointed to the mountain in the distance and said: "It is a forest under that mountain, there is my elephant base, the elephant array is very powerful, this is our number one army, you must not understand, but also learn to command them." ”

Tu Dengfu never thought that this Laobaptist tribe would have such a large elephant training base.

But since he became the son-in-law of the golden beetle, he has never seen an elephant in battle. So he asked, "How does this elephant help us in our war?" ”

His father-in-law, the head man, said mysteriously: "This elephant is a spiritual animal, and if you live with its owner for a long time, it will help you, and if you train them in particular, it will be better than a human in some aspects." ”

Tu Dengfu said worriedly: "If the elephant array fails, what other tricks are there?" ”

The leader said with certainty: "Your question is a bit tender, once we use elephants, we will definitely win, how can we fail?" If you think about it, its nose moves and can sweep down a group of people; When its feet are stepped on, it can trample through a person's belly; It fell to its stomach and crushed several people. You kill it, just move it, it goes crazy, you still have a life? ”

When Tu Dengfu heard this, he kept nodding his head and praised: "This is also the case, the elephant is really powerful, but does it obey people's commands?" What if someone else had a way to subdue them? ”

The tribal leader smiled and said, "My elephant troops, do you say it listens to the command?" Let me tell you, this side is the most powerful elephant army I labored in, and no one can subdue them. ”

After Tu Dengfu heard this, the flame of hope ignited in his heart again.

The tribal leader looked at his son-in-law's eyes brightly, and boasted: "Son-in-law, this daughter's suicide has a lot to do with me. But don't be sad, with my strength of hard work, I will definitely be able to defeat the Chu army. By the way, I heard that there is a beautiful Chu princess in the Chu army, who looks like a fairy, after praising them, I will be in charge, marry this princess to you, you will be the king of Dian, who dares to say half a word in this area? ”

As soon as Tu Dengfu heard his father-in-law's promise, Princess Jingyin would be his own dish in the future, and he thought to himself, oops, it turns out that I am not even as good as a toad, and other toads still think about eating swan meat all the time, but I have never thought of marrying Princess Jingyin, a white swan.

So, Tu Dengfu swung a punch hard and said, "Okay, do it." I know Chu Jun best, and what they are familiar with and what they are not familiar with is in my hands. As long as the father-in-law has confidence and strength, he can unite the multiple tribes in Kunming and drive them away, it is just a matter of drinking a glass of wine. ”

On the Chu army's side, Zhuang Ji saw that the tribal leader was leaving, and he wanted to fight on the battlefield, so he ordered Wu Shixun to prepare with both hands. On the other hand, the bell was sent to inform Xiaobu.

Xiao Bu had already set up camp in Jianning (now Qujing), and the local leaders and people lived in harmony with the Chu officers and soldiers, and the Chu army could be regarded as gaining a firm foothold in the core area of this land.

What worries Zhuang Ji is that if the two tribes of Lao Baptism and Mi Mo unite, it will be the demon of the Chu army. Therefore, he must deploy in advance to block or avoid the union of these two powerful tribes.

Wu Shixun was ordered to lead his troops straight to the northern country of Mimo (in present-day Zhenming County). After he also met with the head of the tribe, the head of the tribe was enthusiastic on the surface, and secretly sent someone to the Laobapt tribe to deliver the letter.

Tu Dengfu received a letter from the Mo people, adding another layer of dissatisfaction with the Chu army. He discussed with his father-in-law and decided that it would be better to take the initiative to counterattack than to launch an invasion with his others.

His father-in-law said angrily: "They are secretly trying to divide and surround us, isn't this to exterminate us?" Son-in-law, although you are a Chu person, this is already your homeland, and you can only keep your homeland by fighting them to the death. ”

How can Tu Dengfu not know this truth? He immediately carried out the elephant's old-style sand table deduction, and on the premise of ensuring that nothing went wrong, he decided to take advantage of the fact that the Chu military camp was asleep at night to release the elephant into the Chu army.

That night, the tribal leader ordered the elephant troops to be concentrated not far from the Yazikou of the Chu military camp.

Tu Dengfu personally led his troops to lurk in the Chu army camp to reconnoitre, and they saw that late at night, there were soldiers patrolling, and soldiers were on duty at key places.

As soon as Tu Dengfu returned, he immediately reported to his father-in-law and said, "It seems that the Chu army is well defended and has no chance of a night attack. ”

The head of the tribe laughed when he heard this, and said: "You still come according to the thinking of the Chu army, our elephant array, no matter if he can't prevent it, as soon as the elephants are put in the barracks, they will not be called the barracks, but the cemetery, and they will immediately make a mess of their people and houses, if you don't tell me, you will go to do some night investigation, what a waste of time." ”

Tu Dengfu thought about it, yes. An elephant needs to be carried by ten people, and it may not be able to be moved. Alas, the war between man and animal, look at him Zhuang Ji and bully me.

The tribal leader said: "Don't think too much, eat a good meal, you just watch the battle, all the commands, orders, I have my own people." ”

Tu Dengfu said unwillingly: "But, I have to do something?" ”

The tribal leader tilted his head and said, "What can you do, a commander who commands human warfare?" Including me, I just watched the battle, watching the supernatural Chu army and my heavyweight elephant pick each other. ”

Tu Dengfu asked worriedly, "But, father-in-law, what if they have a secret weapon to counter the elephant?" So what do we do? ”

The head man said confidently and satisfied: "Don't be afraid, Chu Di does not produce elephants, how do they know what elephants are most afraid of?" Besides, this is a temporary barracks, and there is no way to protect against elephants. ”

Tu Dengfu still said suspiciously: "What you said makes sense, but the Chu people believe in one thing and one thing, and there is a baby named Gou Han in the Chu army, who grew up in Yelang and is also familiar with Dianchi Lake......"

The tribal leader stopped and said, "What is a doll afraid of him?" Even we locals may not know the secret of subduing elephants. ”

After Tu Dengfu waited for his father-in-law to finish speaking, he continued: "I mean, what's worse is that that dog Han is proficient in herbal medicine and can make medicine to bring back the dead, do you think he is powerful?" ”

The tribal leader said indifferently, "What's this?" The so-called resurrection is just a chance to come back to life, don't be fascinated by coincidences. ”

Tu Dengfu still said uneasily: "When I was kidnapped, I heard that a medicine he prepared poisoned all the poison Gu, which is called the method of attacking poison with poison. ”
