The shadow of black pressure appeared in the sky, and Ma said excitedly to Liu Ye: "Coming, I'm coming to the army." ”

How sharp the horse's eyes were, Liu Ye covered his forehead with his right hand, looked at it for a while, and then said: "Meng Qi's vision is strong for me, since you told me, I saw a figure in half a day." ”

Ma smiled: "My adults don't know, my Ma family has a family of martial arts, one of which is to practice eyesight, eyes and the morning sun in the daytime, and at night the eyes are staring at the lit incense, to do the eyes without blinking, so more than ten years, the eyes are naturally sharp." ”

Liu Ye said with a smile: "Meng Qi is the leader of Xiliang, and it is really not easy to come by. ”

Ma said: "My father is very strict with my brother, and the family martial arts must be practiced at least three hours a day, regardless of cold or heat, without stopping. ”

Liu Ye said: "After Ma Fubo, generations of fierce generals have emerged, and today it seems that it is difficult to be a master if you don't endure hardship." ”

The two chatted with each other, Zhao Yun was fast, and when he saw someone standing in the oasis in front of him, he knew that it was Liu Ye and others, and he galloped over. Coming to the front, Zhao Yun said: "See Lord Liu, Guo Jia sacrificed wine to lead the army, and then arrived." ”

Liu Ye said: "Zilong belongs to Fengxiao this time, and he will make contributions to a foreign land, and he is also happy for Zilong." ”

Ma smiled: "I also want to belong to Guo Sai Wine, why don't you be happy for me?" ”

Liu Ye smiled and said: "You kid, you make noise in my ears every day, but my ears are a lot cleaner when you leave." ”

Ma was still talking, Liu Ye said 'huh' and said, "Why hasn't General Zhang Ren come yet?" β€œ

Ma said: "I have just handed over the military affairs, and I am afraid that I will not be able to leave for the time being." Look, my lord, isn't this coming? ”

I saw more than ten horses, all fast horses, with a slip of smoke and dust, coming this way.

Zhang Ren came to Liu Ye's side, hugged his fists and said: "Zhang is late, the affairs of the military camp are too complicated, please forgive me." ”

Liu Ye said with a smile: "General Zhang has just come to the Western Regions, and he is not familiar with the situation, what is the crime?" The coming day is long, you and I don't have to be polite, so humble that it gives me goosebumps. You see Meng Qi, this kid, in front of me, never knew how to write the word polite. ”

A few people laughed when they said it, and when everyone's laughter stopped, Liu Ye said: "Fengxiao has come to the front, let's catch up." ”

Cao Cao's army replenished grain and grass at Leedman, and then marched towards the country of Plagiarism, and Ma Zhan sent a team to accompany him, both as a guide and as an assistant.

There are eighteen subject countries in the country, and the lord of the country is named Shu Yituo, and the kings of the eighteen affiliated countries are not called the lord of the country, but the governor, it is difficult for them to think of this name. When Shu Yituo heard that the Han army was coming, he assisted the Shan State in the war, and hurriedly summoned the governors of the eighteen affiliated states to discuss the strategy of resistance.

The head of the bank, Jia Wawa, shouted: "The lord of the country, the Han army is only more than 100,000, and it is deep in our country, and I will lead 10,000 sons and daughters to attack at night, and I will kill him without leaving a piece of armor." ”

B said: "Why do you need to be like this, drive the elephants, tigers and leopards in the mountains and forests at night, and rush violently, and the Han army camp will be trampled to pieces." ”

C said: "There is no need to be like this, the poisonous snakes and poisonous insects raised in our clan are urged by the slaves to the sound of flutes, and they are driven all over the mountains and fields to the Han army camp, and the Han army can also be bitten to death and countless bites." ”

Ding wanted to say more, Shu Yituo waved his hand and said: "The Han army has been deep in the Shan country for so long, there may not be no way to resist, our army is 200,000, and the lord of the country has decided to win it with dignity." ”

Doctor Zuo Zhen Kecan said: "The lord of the country, the soldiers are also treacherous. If you win without hurting our troops, the good and good strategies are also reasonable, what several big governors said, all of them are reasonable, why don't you try it? If it doesn't work, it's not too late to fight again. ”

Shu Yituo said: "If I don't win, wouldn't it make the Han and Shan people laugh at my incompetence?" ”

Zhen Kecan said: "Water is impermanent, soldiers are impermanent, as long as you can win the battle, what do you say?" ”

Shu Yituo knew in his heart that these big governors were afraid that their clansmen would be killed and injured too much, and they were afraid of being annexed by themselves, so they came up with ideas, this Zhen Kecan was also a big governor, and seeing that they insisted, he didn't say much, so he had to say: "You all go and prepare, find out where the Han army is encamped, and each subject country will do what it can, show its strengths, and attack the Han army." ”

There were still more than 100 miles away from Humility, and it was getting late, so Cao Cao did not dare to march again, so he ordered the army to settle down and set up camp. Cao Cao ordered someone to call the generals of the Shan State and asked in person: "General Chinakha, what is the difference between the territory of this country and the Shan country?" ”

Meng Jie translated, and Chinaka said: "General Cao, because the land is close to the sea, the rain is abundant, and the trees in the mountains and forests are tall and luxuriant, far away from our country. Elephants are rampant in the mountains and forests, there are many tigers and leopards, and poisonous snakes, poisonous insects, and mosquitoes are as dense as cow hair. ”

"Oh, how can the plagiarists survive in such an environment?"

"They have lived here for a long time, and they are familiar with the restraint of every poison."

Cao Cao said: "I don't know if the general knows how to restrain poison?" ”

"The young general knows some, but not as fully as the plagiarists. ”

Cao Cao said: "Even so, I have our army cooperate with the general to find something to restrain the poison, and before it gets dark, all over the camp. ”

Chinaka said yes and went out.

Cao Cao said to Meng Jie: "Sir, all things are mutually reinforcing, I didn't expect that there would be so many strange things in the mountains and forests of the country, and it is up to Mr. to restrain mosquitoes and poisons." ”

Meng Jie said: "On the way here, I have noticed all kinds of plants, and the general ordered people to pick them. It's just that this elephant, tiger and leopard, if it comes at night, it is not easy to resist. ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "My army has deep ditches and barriers, and there are more bonfires, and the elephants, tigers and leopards see the fire, how dare they attack the camp again?" ”

Meng Jie said: "Wild beasts are afraid of fire, and they have been since ancient times. It seems that our army only needs to guard against poisons and mosquitoes. ”

Before Meng Jie finished speaking, there was a thunder in mid-air, and the raindrops crackled and began to fall, Cao Cao said worriedly: "As soon as the heavy rain falls, bonfires, realgar and other things are equivalent to being abolished. ”

Meng Jie changed color and said: "Leeches like rain the most, they flow with the water, this thing is extremely sensitive to blood, and the general should be a herald to guard against leeches." ”

The country was hot and humid, and although the rain was very heavy, the soldiers were washed away by the rain, but they felt comfortable for a while. Meng Jie saw the soldiers in the rain, chopped their feet in a hurry, and said to Cao Cao: "General, let the soldiers take the clothes and put them on, the army marches for a day, the body is hot, the rain is excited, the cold and hot alternately, the soldiers will inevitably fall ill." ”

Cao Cao hurriedly ordered, and Meng Jie breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the soldiers put on their robes. Such a heavy rain could not be discharged in time, the tents were soaked in water, and the soldiers could not sleep.

The heavy rain gradually stopped in the middle of the night, the dark clouds went away, the moon came out, and the trees all over the mountains were covered with rain, and in the dark night, it looked silver. Cao Cao inspected the camps, ordered the soldiers to light torches, check each other's bodies for leeches adsorption, and re-sprayed realgar, lime, salt and other substances around the camp. The soldiers took the picked plants, kneaded the juice, and applied them to the body.

After the rain, mosquitoes began to wreak havoc, and the buzzing sound disturbed people, but fortunately, with the plant juice to restrain mosquitoes, mosquitoes did not dare to speak to the soldiers. In the mountains and forests a few miles away, suddenly night birds flew away, and the sound of hula flapping wings was heard far away in the dark night, Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and said loudly: "Order, the whole army is on alert." ”

Immediately after, an unknown roar was heard, and it was terrifying to hear in the dark night. Cao Cao said, "Quickly call the King of Mulu and his soldiers." ”

King Mulu ran over and said excitedly to Cao Cao: "General Cao, that voice is the elephant herd, tiger and leopard. ”

Cao Cao said: "How many can you hear? ”

King Mulu pricked up his ears, listened for a while, his face changed color, and he stammered: "I'm afraid.., there are tens of thousands.. That's a lot. ”

"What?" Cao Cao was also stunned, so much, what should I do? Turning his head, he asked, "Is there a way for the king to deal with it?" ”

King Mulu said: "This elephant herd, tigers and leopards must go through a long period of training before they can obey people's orders, and my people have elephant trainers and tiger and leopard trainers, but they can't command others to train." ”

Cao Cao said: "Look for combustible things, light them and throw them outside the wall. ”

After the heavy rain, where can I still find combustibles, because the heavy rain came suddenly, except for some grain and grass that were covered by oilcloth on weekdays, other things were **.

After a while, Wang Ping, Vulture Bone, Meng Shu and others all arrived, and Wang Ping said: "Cao Gong, there are countless poisonous snakes and poisonous insects piled up outside the camp, and I dare not enter the camp because I am afraid of realgar and lime. If someone breaks the barrier, I'm afraid.... Fear.... ”

Cao Cao came out in a cold sweat and said to Meng Jie: "Sir, is there a good way?" ”

Meng Jie said: "Pour out everything in the camp, and use realgar and lime to drive away poisonous snakes and poisonous insects. He ordered the soldiers to stand on the wall, and killed anyone who came near. ”

Cao Cao shouted: "Quickly do what Mr. said." ”

The elephant herd, the tiger and leopard are getting closer and closer, and the elephant's heavy footsteps are on the ground, dull and powerful, like a knock on Cao Cao's chest; The roar of the tiger and leopard shook the mountains and forests, and the war horses in the camp made weak calls, and the hooves were weak, and many war horses were lying on the ground.

Cao Cao asked Cao Zhang, "How much gunpowder is there?" ”

Cao Zhang said: "There are still more than 30 cars. ”

Cao Cao shouted: "Ten carts of gunpowder, with a bed crossbow, all of them will be shot out for me." ”

Then in the moonlight, the elephant's fangs could be seen flickering in the night, and the soldiers on the wall spun their winches, pulled the bed crossbow to the maximum, and hung up the gunpowder pack. Cao Zhang saw that the leading herd of elephants was less than a hundred steps, and said loudly: "Light the fire, shoot." ”

Hundreds of gunpowder packets, with a glimmer of fire, swooped down on the elephants. The strength of the bed crossbow could not be stopped by the elephant, the iron arrow pierced into the elephant's body, and the gunpowder exploded, with a huge noise, and the red light in the sky frightened the elephant herd, the tiger and leopard herd, Cao Zhang shouted: "Shoot again!" ”

Hundreds of iron arrows shot out again, and after the sound passed, the stunned elephant herd, tiger and leopard herd reacted, turned around and ran backwards. The frightened elephants and tigers and leopards retreated like crazy, and the elephants and leopards behind them were still rushing forward, colliding with each other, roaring and shaking the sky, and fighting each other.

Cao Zhang saw the beasts retreating, breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly reported to Cao Cao, Cao Cao said: "Although the beasts retreat, there are many poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, what can I do about it?" ”

At this time, a mellow voice sounded in the camp, and Cao Cao said, "Who is so Yaxing?" There is still time to blow. ”
