Volume 4 Enthronement Chapter 84 Three Verticals

He didn't expect that Adou would let him go again, and now Meng Shu, the prince of Shu Han, is not a fool, otherwise he would not have been caught twice in two days. But how could Meng Shu not figure out why the other party let him go twice, was it just to make himself surrender?

Thinking of Adou's peerless martial arts, at this time, Meng Shu had already realized that this Prince of Shu Han was a guy who pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger.

Meng Shu put away his heart of underestimating the enemy and began to slowly think about the next countermeasure.

Meng Huo had lost three caves of soldiers and horses before, and with the later attrition, most of the soldiers under Meng Huo's command had already lost most of them at this time. And the follow-up troops have not yet arrived, on the other hand, the Shu army has almost lost many people. Therefore, after thinking about it, Meng decided to temporarily withdraw his troops, and then build a high barrier to defend.

And Lushui is poisonous, especially in March and April every year, in late spring and early summer, under the irradiation of the sun, the river water will slowly form a miasma permeating the Lushui, people and animals are not allowed to pass, only after the daily hour, the air is gradually cold, the miasma slowly condenses and disperses, and the river can be crossed. Moreover, the time to cross the river is limited to the time, time and subtime, and when the ugly time passes, the mountain fog gradually rises, and it is difficult to pass.

Meng Huo thought that the Han people would not know this, so they could completely rely on Lushui to block the way of the Shu army's advance. And with the passage of time, the weather will get hotter and hotter, and when the Shu army can't stand the heat of midsummer, it will inevitably retreat.

On the same day, Meng Huo immediately withdrew his troops and crossed the Lushui River at night.

……

"His Royal Highness the Prince, just now Malay reported that Meng Shu has withdrawn his troops."

Adou didn't feel it at all, since Meng Huo couldn't beat him, it was also correct to choose to retreat and rely on the advantage of brute land to defend. So Adou opened his mouth and asked, "Where did Meng Shu retreat?" ”

"Back to the crown prince Meng Shu has already crossed the Lushui."

"Lushui?" Adou frowned. I can't help but think of the legend about the water and land.

Adou remembered when Zhuge Liang captured Meng Qi and won the land. He once sent horses to cross the Lushui. But because of the miasma of the water. As a result, many Dishu troops were poisoned. However, in later generations, Adou also visited this water. But I didn't hear the locals say that the water was poisonous.

The waterfront is rich in minerals. There are also some rare metal mines. However, because of this era, the vicinity of Lushui is still an inaccessible area, and rare metals have not yet been opened here. Many metal mines are exposed to the outside. Very easy to react. Many rare and heavy metal compounds are toxic. They react with each other after being dissolved in water. Some toxic gases are also produced. So in causing this poisonous dew now.

During the Northern Wei Dynasty [Daoyuan's "Notes on the Book of Water" is recorded. There is a miasma in the water. It is most powerful in March and April every year. But over time. People are constantly opening on both sides of the Lushui River. More than 1,000 years have passed to the era of Adoudi. There is no longer any poisonous miasma in this water.

Today, the banks of the Lushui River have not been opened. So every daytime. The sun rises, and the sun shines in the water. As a result, the miasma will spread all over the water.

Under normal circumstances, the temperature in autumn and winter is relatively low, and the sunshine time is insufficient, the miasma of Lushui is the lightest, and in the middle of summer, the climate is hot and the sunshine is sufficient, and the miasma is quickly dispersed, so the miasma in midsummer is not big at the turn of spring and summer, the sun is sunny in March and April, the temperature is not very high, and the miasma of Lushui is the most powerful.

Adou immediately found Lu Kai and asked about Lushui. And the answer is that Lushui has miasma, so he can only cross the river at night.

On the other hand, the scouts of the Shu army have also found out, and Meng Huo has begun to build high walls and start defending.

So Adou ordered Wenqin to lead 5,000 troops, cross the river at the Liushakou in the lower reaches of Lushui, go deep behind the enemy, cut off Meng's grain route, and personally led the army to cross the river from the front.

Meng received knowledge that Wenqin had crossed the river and cut off his own grain route, and immediately sent his general Busy Tooth Chang to lead his troops to fight Wenqin and dredge his own grain route.

However, it is clear that Adou did not intend to drag out the war until the scorching heat of midsummer, and after leading the army across the water, Adou immediately launched a general attack on Meng. At this time, the Shu army had two major victories, and its morale was high, while the barbarian army was demoralized because Meng was captured twice, and after a battle, the barbarian army began to retreat again.

The three of Jinhuan Sanjie, Dong Dana and Ah Huilan had already felt the tremendous pressure from the Shu army. Coupled with Meng Huo's consecutive defeats, the three of them already felt that Meng Huo was not the opponent of the Shu army in terms of strength and strategy. The three of them felt that there was no need to take their Sandong clan to follow Meng Shu and the Shu army to fight for consumption, and from Adou's attitude towards the three, the Shu army did not want to kill them all, but also to convince people with virtue, so the three of them chose to defect from the battle.

The defection of the people and horses of the three caves made Meng Huo's position chaotic, and more importantly, it had a great impact on the morale of the barbarian army. The barbarian army under Meng Shu was originally united by the barbarian twenty-one caves, and now that there are three caves to surrender, the leaders of the other caves are also secretly considering whether it is time to surrender. As a result, the barbarian army had no intention of fighting, and after a big battle, the barbarian army was annihilated, and the men and horses of the six caves surrendered to the Shu army, and Meng Shu only escaped with a few dozen people.

At this time, Meng was no more

, had to choose to cross the Lushui again, retreat into the hinterland of the barbarians and wait for the opportunity to fight again.

However, at this time, this miasma-filled Lushui blocked Meng Shu's way.

The terrain is not flat, and there are many cliffs, so not every place is suitable for crossing the river. What's more, if you cross the river during the day, you will get miasma. However, there were a large number of Shu army chasing soldiers behind, if Meng Shu stopped and waited at a ferry, the Shu army would catch up with Meng Huo and Meng Huo would inevitably be captured, so Meng Huo had to stay in the mountains and forests during the day, preparing to wait until night and then secretly go to the ferry to cross the river.

, Meng Shu came to the ferry with the remaining dozens of people.

At this time, everyone had not eaten for a whole day, and they had been nervously avoiding the pursuit of the Shu army, so everyone was already hungry.

"Brother, look at the boats there! God help me! Meng You pointed to the ferry in the distance, and saw a few boats just placed there, and the lights on the boat could faintly be seen flickering, and it was expected that there were people on it.

"How can there be a ship in here? It's all over now, why are there still people on this ship? At this time, a trace of doubt rose in Meng Shu's heart.

And at this moment, the smell of delicious fish wafted along the majestic wind and rushed into the nostrils of everyone, these brute soldiers had been hungry all day, and now they smelled the smell of fish, and they all secretly swallowed their saliva.

Meng You walked towards a few boats with a big grin, and then shouted at the boats, "Is the boat family here?" ”

"Come!" The sound came from inside the boat, and then I saw a figure get up from the boat, this man still had a casserole in his hand, and the smell of fish wafted from it.

"Boatman, we are ......" Meng's voice suddenly stopped, and then a terrifying voice came: "It's you!" ”

Later, Meng Shu didn't know what was happening in front of him, and then Meng Shu heard a very familiar voice coming:

"General Meng You, long time no see! I've been here for a long time......"

"It's Liu Chan!" Meng Xu's face suddenly froze. Then Meng Shu immediately realized that Liu Chan was already waiting for him here. Meng Shu didn't believe that Adou would come alone, Meng Shu immediately looked around, looking for the surrounding Shu army, but the night was dark, Meng Shu did not show up alone, but the more this is the case, the more grass and trees are soldiers, Meng Shu did not have enemies around, but he always felt that he had been surrounded by a large number of enemies.

"What the hell do you want?" Meng Shu yelled at Adou.

"Hehehe, King Meng, don't worry, the fish soup has just been stewed, and there is still some wine here, how about we have a few drinks?" Adou said with a smile.

At this time, Meng Shu will also be tomorrow, people will be knives, I will be fish and meat, and my life will be in the hands of the other party. When someone Adou gives an order, he can take his own life, and he will have to be a full ghost when he dies. Moreover, at this time, the momentum must not be weakened. So Meng Shu turned over and dismounted, strode towards Adou, got on the boat, and sat opposite Adou.

Adou filled a bowl of fish soup and put it in front of Meng Shu, Meng Shu didn't say much, picked up the fish soup and poured it into his mouth, but Adou didn't mind, but gave Meng Shu another bowl like an old friend, and then handed over a pot of wine, and said with a smile: "At this time, I picked wild fruits on the mountain, and the monkey drunk made by myself, come and taste it!" ”

Meng Shu took the wine bottle, opened his mouth and took a big sip, and the mellow and sweet monkey drunk slid into Meng Shu's throat. Meng Shu couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart: "Good wine!" ”

"Drink more if you like!" Adou said, took a few more bottles from behind him, and placed them in front of Meng Shu.

Then the two sat opposite each other, eating fish and drinking, and the two did not speak to each other until they were about to be ugly.

The fish soup had already been eaten by Meng Shu that night, and there was not much left of what Adou had brought. Adou stood up, stretched his waist, and then jumped off the boat, and said to Meng Shu: "It's ugly, I should go, otherwise you won't be able to cross the river until dawn, Meng Shu, let's see you next time." ”

"Next time?" Meng Shu was stunned: "You want to let me go?" ”

"Hehehe......" Adou's hearty laughter came, and gradually disappeared into the mountains and forests in the distance, leaving Meng Shu looking at Adou's back with a confused face.

"Brother, what's going on? How did he go? Meng You asked with some puzzlement.

Meng Huo opened his mouth and didn't speak, three captures and three verticals, even if Meng Huo was a scoundrel, he already felt Adou's sincerity.

Unconsciously, a glimmer of expectation rose in Meng Shu's heart, looking forward to seeing Adou again next time. At the same time, there was also a hint of loosening in Meng Shu's heart.

Meng Huo's heart shook violently, how could he have such an idea! Meng Yu shook his head hard, sobered himself up for three points, and then took a deep breath: "Meng You, it's almost dawn, let's cross the river!" ”

On the high slope in the distance, Adou looked at Meng Shu gradually moving away, and sighed slightly: "Three times, four times left......"
