Let's say that Pang De led 50,000 rattan armor soldiers and vulture bones and Yan Rui as deputy generals, and Xun You as a military advisor, starting from Jinsangguan.

And Liu Bei did not stay, and once again sent Xi Ni to lead 10,000 sword and shield soldiers to the country of Ugo to protect Xu Jing to prepare for the construction of Qiqi County.

Then Liu Bei ordered Zhao Yun to lead Su Fei and 40,000 Jinfan troops to garrison Sangguan, while Liu Bei personally led 50,000 trapped troops, 50,000 Longyan troops, and Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Huang Xu, Chen Dao, Gao Shun, and He Ting as generals, and Xi Zhong as military advisors, all the way to the Bald Dragon Cave.

Meng Shu suffered Liu Bei's losses twice in a row, so this time he was also very careful, so King Duosi arranged a number of scouts to investigate Liu Bei's situation from the beginning of the Bald Dragon Cave.

On this day, Meng Huo, Meng You, and King Duosi were drinking and having fun in the tent, when suddenly a scout came to report that Liu Bei led an army of 100,000 to attack the Bald Dragon Cave.

Therefore, King Doth urgently ordered his barbarians to block the flat road northeast of the Bald Dragon Cave, and then ordered the barbarians to ambush at the exit of the northwest path.

However, it was said that Liu Bei led the army all the way forward and arrived at the Bald Dragon Cave without encountering any obstacles, and he suggested to Liu Bei with Xizhong: "My lord, Meng has been helped by King Duosi, and he is treacherous to the lord, so it can be seen that he must be sure of victory."

And now he has withdrawn from the foundation of the Bald Dragon Cave and retreated to the north without a fight, which shows that there must be an ambush in the north, so the lord needs to be more careful when entering the army. ”

Liu Bei also nodded when he heard this, although Liu Bei has some understanding of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and the history of the Three Kingdoms, but it is not certain whether there are really four poisonous springs, but Sima is a live horse doctor.

Therefore, Liu Bei ordered all the soldiers to prepare enough drinking water, and at the same time, they could not draw water from the mountains and forests near the Bald Dragon Cave at any time. Since there was no one left in the Bald Dragon Cave, Liu Bei continued to lead the troops north.

After only two days of travel, the scouts reported that the northeastern continent was blocked by numerous boulders, and that the army could not be allowed to pass if they were to move away for a month.

In this way, after Liu Bei and Xi Zhong discussed, they reluctantly moved forward from the northwest path. After a few more days, Liu Bei's 100,000-strong army entered the narrow mountain path.

There was a lot of miasma in the mountains in the south, and the army could only pass through three times a day, midday, noon, and midnight, and it was already the middle of June of the year, but the weather was extremely hot, so the enough drinking water that had been prepared was getting less and less, and knowing that some of the soldiers in the army had been running out of water the day before.

Therefore, Liu Bei made it easy for Xi Zhong to discuss, and Xi Zhong said to Liu Bei: "My lord, it seems that Meng Shu retreated north and blocked the mainland wind going north, and let me wait to take this path, but I want to trap us here and die!"

However, Zhong did not understand why the lord did not allow the soldiers to fetch water on the spot to drink. Could it be that the water here is as toxic as Jiaozhou? ”

Of course, Liu Bei wouldn't say that he knew, so he said: "I don't know this, but the matter of Jiaozhou is vivid, so we have to be careful." ”

Xi Zhong nodded when he heard this, and then shook his head and said: "It's just that now the soldiers are short of water, if there is no drinking water supplement, then in the next two or three days, don't say that there will be a battle with Meng Huo, and there may not be a few people standing up!" ”

Liu Bei and Xi Zhong were discussing, and Guan Yu rushed to report: "My lord, some of the soldiers in the trapped army found a pool of clear water, which was bottomless, the water was cold, and the army was thirsty, so some people took water to drink."

However, after Fang finished drinking, the soldiers who drank the water were all cold and unbearable, and the exhalation was also a cold breath, and the whole person was as soft as cotton. ”

In this regard, Liu Bei was furious and hurriedly asked, "How many sergeants have drunk this water?" ”

Guan Yu replied: "Not much, just two hundred sergeants." ”

Liu Bei then became a little less angry, and knew that this Nanzhong was really like all the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in Luo Guanzhong, with four springs: Dumb Spring, Black Spring, Extinction Spring and Soft Spring.

Although he also knew that there might be someone in this mountain who could cure the poison of this spring, how could Liu Bei know where this person was at this time? I don't even hope that I can really save these two hundred sergeants.

Therefore, he tearfully ordered that all the two hundred sergeants be beheaded for public display, but the reason was very simple: Liu Bei ordered three orders not to drink the spring water along the way. However, these two hundred sergeants violated the order to drink water, so they should be beheaded.

Liu Bei killed two hundred poisoned soldiers, but it caused a lot of impact in the army, Xi Zhong and the generals learned about it and informed Liu Bei of the matter, but Liu Bei just smiled slightly!

After that, Liu Bei ordered the army to camp on the spot, and then ordered He Ting and Huang Xu to lead 2,000 soldiers to dig a well on the spot, so that half a day later, the two dug wells with water everywhere, and then reported to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei and the generals were overjoyed when they heard this, so they personally led everyone to check, but they saw the transparent and clear well water gurgling in the four deep wells!

However, none of the soldiers dared to step forward and go to the well to get water to drink. Liu Bei nodded slightly when he saw this, and then said to all the soldiers:

"Soldiers, I know that all of you may be upset or dissatisfied with the fact that I beheaded two hundred soldiers this morning.

Some people even think that I, Liu Bei, have been sitting in the northwest, and I have not been in Jiaozhou and Yizhou for more than ten years, or sharing weal and woe with you, and some people think that I Liu Bei is not worthy of leading everyone, and I am not worthy of you to recognize the Lord!

However, I want to tell everyone that an order is an order, and it is a soldier's duty to obey orders, not to mention thirst, even if your superiors tell you to take a knife to death, you have to do it!

However, the soldiers in the morning died unjustly, at least so that everyone knew that they did not drink the water lightly. For this reason, I will treat a soldier who has made great contributions to the soldiers who were killed by me in the morning, and their families have something to support for the old and young!

Now, none of us know if there is a problem with the water from these four wells, but we are all thirsty, so I need three people to try it with me, and if it is really non-toxic, we can all drink it! ”

Xi Zhong was the first to hear Liu Bei's words, and then knelt directly on the ground: "Lord, you are a body of ten thousand gold, how can you test poison by yourself?" How do I get around? ”

Liu Bei helped Xi Zhong up, and then said: "Zhicai, in the end, I am the same as you, and everyone present, I was born and raised by my parents and ate food, so I am not more expensive than you, but now I am in an important position to reshape the Han!"

Therefore, do not persuade me again, I will test this well for all my soldiers in the near future, and if I really suffer misfortune, I ask you to assist my son in restoring the glory of this great man! Who will drink with me from the water of these four wells? ”

When Liu Bei finished speaking, Xi Zhong, Chen Qun, the accompanying Wenchen and all the soldiers all knelt on the ground and said in unison: "I am willing to test the water for the lord, I am willing to test the water for the lord!" ”

In the end, Liu Bei ordered: "The whole army listens to the order, and Xi Zhong, Lu Bu, Guan Yu and I will try this well water together!" ”

After saying that, without waiting for anyone to object, he personally drew a bucket of water from a well, but drank it all! Guan Yu, Xi Zhong, and Lu Bu also had tears in their eyes, and their hands trembled and they drank all the water!

The three of them were tearful and trembling not because they were afraid, but because they were moved, as the saying goes, a priest dies for his confidant, or that's it!!

It's just that the result of all this has put all the people at ease, and there is no problem in the water of the four wells, so far Liu Bei's army no longer has the trouble of drinking water!

Half a year later, Cao Cao heard about this and thought in his heart, if he was transposed, Cao Cao himself felt that he couldn't do Liu Bei like this, so he sighed majestically: "Liu Bei Zhiren, I'm not as good as it!" Liu Bei's righteousness, I might as well too! ”
