Under the cover of the sound of rain, it was very easy to kill all the Shu troops in the canyon mountain house, Liu Xie ordered to clean up the battlefield in the rain, and at the same time looked around, only to see that there was a path leading to a small hillside in front, and it was vaguely possible to see that there were grass houses on the hillside.

Liu Xie immediately realized that the thatched hut might be the residence of the Shu army ambushed here, and ordered: "Immediately send a lantern message to Xu Chu on the other side, and let them check if there is a Shu army camp." ”

In order to cope with the sudden time in the war, Liu Xie used the idea of modern warfare, that is, to invent a set of lanterns and sailfish for short-distance communication.

This is also the most primitive "photoelectric communication".

In fact, the lantern language and the flag language were not invented by him, he just borrowed them, the lantern language is relatively simple, that is, by blocking the oil lamp to create a visual sense of light and extinguishment, composing the lamp language ciphertext.

If you want to read the language of the lantern, you need to have a codebook, which is similar to the principle of the modern telegraph.

As for the flag language, it is relatively a little complicated, but it doesn't matter, Liu Xie specially set up some communication soldiers to train the lantern language and flag language.

After the lantern was called, the other side quickly replied with a message indicating that he knew. Liu Xie ordered the team, quietly advanced, and went to the grass hut in front.

After arriving at the front, I found a row of thatched huts, and there were several Shu soldiers standing guard outside the house, leaning against the wall and drowsy.

Liu Xiexin said that he could actually fall asleep in such a heavy rain, and ordered the soldiers to sneak over and deal with the sentry.

Everything went well, and after getting rid of the sentries, we would kill the sleeping soldiers sleeping in the hut one by one.

After the two sides of the canyon were killed at the same time, and after killing all the ambush soldiers of the Shu army, Liu Xie ordered the soldiers to send a lantern to Zhuge Liang, telling them that they could come.

Zhuge Liang Huang Zhong led the Han army and began to move forward from the canyon, Liu Xie ordered the soldiers to find a place to hide from the rain, and the people on both sides came down from the mountain, looking around, except that the mountain is the mountain, where can there be any place to hide from the rain.

Fortunately, it was early spring, and although it was cold, the rain was not too heavy.

Seeing the soldiers drenched in the rain, Liu Xie sighed and said: "Alas, for the sake of this Yizhou, let my Han army suffer such a great crime. ”

Huang Yueying said: "Your Majesty, it's better to suffer this crime than to be injured." ”

"What Huang Junshi said is extremely true." Liu Xie said this, and ordered the soldiers to cut down branches everywhere and build shelters from the rain, while waiting for the army to come.

At this moment, the sky has dawned, although it is still in the Sword Pavilion, but it has passed the saddest place, although the road ahead is still difficult, but the army can basically pass.

It was busy until noon, and before all the Han troops came, Liu Xie ordered the whole army to camp in the rain to cook, and built an arrow tower, so that the sentries could climb the arrow tower and use binoculars to look into the distance to be on guard.

It rained all day, and it took a whole day for the 400,000 Han troops to come over, Liu Xie ordered the whole army to camp and leave tomorrow morning, and at the same time ordered the soldiers to collect grain everywhere, and specially explained that they were not allowed to loot and buy according to the price.

He wanted to let the soldiers know that the people of Shu were also the people of the Han Dynasty.

400,000 Han troops, camped for 20 miles.

In the evening in the imperial camp, Liu Xie convened the generals to discuss the matter, Liu Xie said: "It took a whole day and a night, we finally came over, everyone had a good night's rest, set off tomorrow morning, and strive to arrive in Fucheng within three days." Along the march, it is also necessary to be vigilant to prevent the Shu army from ambushing. ”

Zhuge Liang said: "This day's heavy rain has made people irritable, but it has also helped us invisibly. There are many plants and trees along the way, the rain is soaked, and it is not easy to cause fire, and there will always be light rain in the past few days, so we still have to be patient, and we can dry it after taking Fucheng. ”

"What the military advisor said is extremely true," Liu Xie held his head and coughed.

Zhuge Liang asked: "Did Your Majesty feel the cold?" ”

"It's okay," Liu Xie said, "It's raining heavily on the canyon, I'll boil some ginger soup to drink later, take a hot shower, and cover my sweat." ”

All the generals said that Liu Xie must take care of himself.

Huang Yueying also said: "Your Majesty is a golden body, you must take care of your body, don't work too hard." ”

Rest for one night, continue the march tomorrow, except for the explanation of heightened vigilance, strengthen precautions, there is nothing to discuss, because of the rain of the day, everyone has to go back to rest, so after a while, they are all dispersed.

After the dispersal, Liu Xie planned to go out to inspect again, Zhen Mi said: "Your Majesty feels the cold, let's rest early." ”

Liu Xie said: "Concubine Ai doesn't need to worry, I have to make a patrol every day, if you don't go tonight, and let the sergeant suspect, you help me boil ginger soup and wait for me, boil some hot water, I will go back when I go, Xiao Luozi, you go with me." ”

Xiao Luozi and several generals accompanied Liu Xie to inspect the barracks, because the 400,000 Han troops occupied too much land to inspect all of them, so Liu Xie also rode around the vicinity.

After the inspection, when he returned to the imperial camp, Zhen Mi had already boiled the ginger soup, and Liu Xie drank it while it was hot, and boiled a large bucket of bath water.

Zhen Mi said: "Just drink a bowl of ginger soup, it still can't sweat, Your Majesty can run in the bathtub, and the concubine will add hot water to you." ”

Liu Xie hugged her and said, "Concubine Ai has worked hard." ”

Zhen Mi smiled and said: "Your Majesty is for the country and the people, and you are the most hard-working, what is the concubine?" ”

With that, they helped him undress. Liu Xie soaked in the bathtub and said, "Concubine Ai, you also come down, let's wash together." ”

Zhen Mi said shyly: "Your Majesty, this is inconvenient in the barracks." ”

"Concubine Ai is still shy, haha."

Zhen Mi instructed the room to keep boiling water and send it, and then she changed the water in Liu Xie's bathtub little by little, and always kept the water in the bathtub slightly hot.

Zhen Mi gently pressed Liu Xie's shoulder and said, "Your Majesty, do something below, and soak them all in the water." ”

"Ah, the water is so hot, you're going to cook me." Liu Xie said that he was about to come out.

Zhen Mi pretended to be angry and said: "Don't come out, it's better to burn a little, otherwise you won't be better, if you can't get better, Your Majesty will suffer tomorrow's march, good, Your Majesty is obedient." ”

Seeing that Zhen Mi was very serious, Liu Xie was really obedient, endured the soup, and soaked in the water.

Zhen Mi said again: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the concubines are also constantly testing the temperature of the water, and they won't burn you." ”

"I'm sweating."

"No, you have to endure it, and you can come out after soaking for another half an hour."

"Okay, you, see how I clean you up."

"Hehe, okay, the concubine is waiting for you, fight with Your Majesty for three hundred rounds, and see who is powerful."

drank ginger soup, took a hot bath for an hour under the supervision of Zhen Mi, and had a "big battle" with Zhen Mi at night, he sweated a lot, and the cold was quickly cured, and he did not delay his march the next day at all.
