The plan to plan Jingnan has been decided, and Gan Ning and Xu Shu will take the first step and go to Jiangling to prepare troops, horses, grain and grass.

Hua Wenxuan returned to the mansion and told He Yan and Huang Yueying about the plan, but the two of them jumped to their feet and scolded in unison.

"Then why is Zhuge Liang so deliberate? You already knew that misusing that magic would cost you your life, so why did you agree to him as a fool? Huang Yueying shouted angrily, Hua Wenxuan was startled by her, watching Huang Yueying scolding Zhuge Liang, why did it feel so awkward?

He Yan also asked with a puzzled expression: "Fighting on the battlefield is life and death!" But why do you deliberately put yourself in danger when you can put yourself in danger? ”

Hua Wenxuan said to the two of them what Zhuge Liang thought of the method of determining the four counties in a war, "I think Zhuge Liang is right!" Instead of letting them resist stubbornly, it is better to break their resistance psychology in a war, let them fall to the wind, the people can also avoid the suffering of war, and our army does not have to travel thousands of miles to the land of smoke and miasma! ”

He Yan was still a little apprehensive, "It is rumored that Jingnan is prevalent in witchcraft, that day I saw a barbarian in the ring, there was a string of human bones hanging around his neck, his face was very different, his beard was yellow, it was very terrifying, why not go to Jingnan Wenxuan to stay in Jiangling, and let General Gan and them show off?!" ”

Hua Wenxuan naturally knew that what He Yan said was the Wuxi barbarian Shamoke, but that witch Gu or something, Hua Wenxuan never believed it, even now he can call thunder and lightning, and he doesn't believe that there are ghosts in this world.

Seeing that Hua Wenxuan couldn't be persuaded by the two women, they had to start preparing miasma medicine for him, packing up, Huang Yueying also specially created a Nanmu repeater for Hua Wenxuan, which is small and delicate and can be folded into the sleeve, which is very exquisite.

Three or five days later, Hua Wenxuan left Zhao Yun, Chen Deng and several new talents to guard Xiangyang, with Wei Yan as the vanguard, Zhang Nan and Feng Xi as the deputy generals, Sha Moke and Liao Hua as the protectors, Zhuge Liang and Chen Qi as military advisors, and led 30,000 troops all the way to Jiangling.

When they arrived in Jiangling, Xu Shu and Gan Ning had already prepared ships and grain and grass, and the main route was led by Hua Wenxuan to take the land route to Wuling, and the other route was Gan Ning and Xu Shu took a big boat from the Yangtze River into Dongting Lake and went straight to Hanshou.

As Zhuge Liang expected, at the beginning, when Hua Wenxuan's troops approached Wuling, the other three counties just watched each other at the border of the troops, but they all stopped.

Ten days later, Hua Wenxuan's army crossed the public security and crossed the Youjiang River, but the troops turned around and went all the way to the east, with the intention of reaching Changsha.

Changsha Taishou Han Xuan was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly repaired the three counties, invited them to help, and the two southern counties: Lingling and Guiyang saw that Hua Wenxuan seemed to be ready to take the toughest Changsha County first, and they all thought that there was an opportunity, and they waved their troops north.

Lingling Taishou Liu Du took his son Liu Xian as the general, and the fierce general Xing Daorong was the vanguard, raising 8,000 troops, and converging with the 6,000 soldiers and horses of Guiyang Taishou Zhao Fan stationed in Xiangtan.

Wuling Taishou Jin Xuan also raised troops to the east, but he did not use his subordinates to engage in Gong Zhi's words to cut off Hua Wenxuan's land grain route, and instead marched into Huanshui to form a flanking attack on Hua Wenxuan's garrison Hanshou.

By the end of May, Hua Wenxuan's army was stationed in Hanshou and joined forces with Xu Shu and Gan Ning, and the joint forces of the four counties also formed a joint encirclement, and the war was about to break out.

In the tent of Hanshou's camp, Hua Wenxuan was being bitten by the raging mosquitoes, and he couldn't stop fanning his arms, and the two wrestlers arranged by Zhuge Liang in the tent were fanning Baye vigorously, driving away the mosquitoes that poured into the tent one by one.

Hua Wenxuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and complained: "This Jingnan is really a barren place, full of dense forests and mosquitoes, which is more irritating than fighting!" ”

Zhuge Liang is still a scholar's temperament, that is, he is already sweating, still wearing a full set of coats and linings, and sighs softly: "Although Jingnan is rich in rice, the environment is very harsh, and this mosquito alone is daunting. ”

"Isn't there a mosquito coil?" Hua Wenxuan said angrily, everyone under the tent was stunned, Xu Shu looked at Gan Ning and asked, "What is a mosquito coil?" ”

Only then did Hua Wenxuan realize that there was no such thing as mosquito coils in this era! Ay? Isn't that right? There is incense in the incense burner?

"What's burning in the censer?" Hua Wenxuan saw that there was no incense burner under the tent, so he could only reach out and gesture.

Xu Shu barely understood what Hua Wenxuan was talking about, and replied: "It is made of pine and cypress wood or oil, adding cloves and other medicinal materials, just to remove odors, calm the mind and feel at ease, and has no mosquito repellent effect?" ”

Hua Wenxuan recalled the mosquito coil encyclopedia that he had bored to check, and asked repeatedly: "Are there wormwood and realgar?" ”

Xu Shu didn't understand medical science, and asked for help with his eyes, Chen Deng's father, Chen Qi, who was nearly sixty years old, had white hair, and stepped forward from behind and said: "These two things are medicinal materials, what is the use of the lord?" ”

As soon as Hua Wenxuan heard about this thing, he hurriedly said: "It's still the way to make pillar incense now, take wormwood and burn it to ashes, add a small amount of realgar crumbs, and use it as incense, and an incense lamp can take all the mosquitoes in this big tent!" ”

Everyone was stunned, and Gan Ning said in surprise: "Wen Xuan still has research on this thing?" ”

Hua Wenxuan was irritable from the bite, and said in a loud voice: "Go and arrange this, otherwise I will be annoyed to death by mosquitoes!" ”

Zhuge Liang looked at Chen Jue, "The land of wormwood and thorns can be seen everywhere, and the realgar can be found by the medical officer, and he ordered the Jiangling incense making workshop to make it quickly and try it out!" ”

Chen Jue nodded yes, and then stepped back to make arrangements.

Hua Wenxuan stood up and looked at the topographic map, "Now according to Mr. Zhuge 's plan, our army has been tightly surrounded by soldiers and horses from the four counties in Hanshou. In the near future, the soldiers and horses of the four counties will be attacked from three sides, I don't know what Mr. Zhuge thinks, how to resist? ”

Zhuge Liang coughed lightly and said slowly: "Although there are many soldiers and horses in the four counties, they all have ghosts, although Han Xuan has 10,000 heavy soldiers, he only wants to preserve his own strength, and the remaining three counties have less than 20,000 soldiers and horses. ”

"Oh?" Hua Wenxuan looked at Zhuge Liang with interest, "I have the impression that there are no resourceful people under the command of these four counties?" Where's the trick? ”

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, "Since ancient times, the strategists have not seen boasting, and most of the wise people who boast of themselves are stupid, although there are no strategists in the four counties, but there must be pretentious fools who are eager to give advice, so!" Zhuge Liang looked at Wei Yan, "If the four counties are besieged and not attacked, our army will have its own waterway grain and grass supply calmly, just wait for the movement of the four counties and then adapt to the situation!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a herald soldier came in from outside the tent and reported: "Guiyang Taishou Zhao Fan has a secret letter sent with a woman!" ”

Hua Wenxuan couldn't help but glance at Xu Shu, this Zhuge Liang is really wise and close to the demon!
