After walking a short distance, I had reached the second stream, and I saw that the 100-man team of the forward was standing about a foot away from the stream, thinking that they had learned the lesson of the first stream, and did not dare to get too close to the shore.

Wei Changfeng ordered the others to stand still, and only called An Ran and Li Quan to continue walking, just in case there was any danger, and the senior generals would be wiped out.

When the three of them came to the water's edge, they saw that the water was extremely black, and it was shaped like clotted fat, and it was already semi-solid, and where did it look like the water of a river? It's a quagmire.

An Ran asked Li Quan, "General Li, is there anything evil in this river?" Li Quan smiled and said: "General An is too impatient, and I am not a god, where can I see what is in this river at a glance, and let me look at it slowly." So saying, he walked to the river, crouched there, and took a closer look.

An Ran waited for a while, and saw that Li Quan was still observing, and his childlike heart suddenly rose, and said with a smile: "I'll throw a stone into it, but it's much faster than you." He picked up a fist-sized stone as he spoke, and saw Li Quan squatting by the river, afraid that throwing the stone too close would splash muddy water on Li's body.

The stone fell into the river, but instead of splashing the river as it normally would, it only made a gentle "grunt", and a large bubble appeared on the surface of the river, but not even a drop of water was splashed, and the stone had sunk into the river and disappeared.

This was a big surprise, and Li Quan, An Ran, and Wei Changfeng all let out a "huh". An Ran saw a slender tree trunk next to him, about seven or eight feet long, leaned over and picked it up at the moment, and threw it into the water.

As soon as the trunk entered the water, it only made a slight "brush" sound, and this time there was not even a bubble, and it sank in a blink of an eye.

In this way, everyone has understood that there will be nothing evil in this river, not even a log can float, how can any evil thing survive here? It's just that this is not as good as the stream in front of it, such a terrible quagmire, but how to get over?

On the side, a guard saw that several generals were testing the water, his mind was clever, seeing that everyone had not been able to try the depth of this quagmire, he immediately picked up a trunk about a foot long, held one end, and inserted the other end into the muddy water.

The guard flashed his strength, could not stand on his feet, leaned forward, and with a thud, his head was already in the water.

There is no resistance to the trunk of the tree entering the water, let alone a person? As soon as the guard entered the water, his body slid sharply into the water, and the two guards behind him hurriedly rushed over, grabbed the guard's feet and pulled him backwards sharply to pull him out, and as soon as he pulled out, the two guards suddenly screamed in unison, both let go, and jumped aside.

I saw that the upper part of the body immersed in muddy water was already rotten in flesh and skin, and the bones were visible, and the whole head had become a skeleton, but the bones were still sizzling, smoking and continuing to rot little by little!

"My boy." An Ran exclaimed, "This river, we're just afraid that we really can't cross it." ”

"Summoning the whole army," Wei Changfeng said suddenly, "but if you can think of a way to cross this river safely, you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and the official will be promoted to one level." ”

An Ran was stunned. Wei Changfeng's order, isn't he openly admitting that he can't think of a way? The most taboo thing for a general is to make people think that he is incompetent, and now Wei Changfeng's order is tantamount to saying to the whole army that he is incompetent, such an order......

"General Wei, the last general thinks that this order ...... That's ...... order."

An Ran couldn't find the right words to explain his opinion for a while, he couldn't directly point to Wei Changfeng's incompetence, right?

Wei Changfeng already understood what An Ran meant, and he looked at An Ran seriously. He wants to explain this truth, because although Enron is very brave, he is lacking in strategy, and he hopes to take this opportunity to point to Enron: "General An, there is no general in the world who will win the attack and fight, and there is no omnipotent general, Confucius said, threesome, there must be my division, a good general, not a general with outstanding personal talent, but a general who knows people and is good at his duties, do you know the difference between 'general' and 'general'?" ”

When An Ran first heard Wei Changfeng suddenly talk about the truth, he couldn't help but wonder, when he heard the sentences of "'generals' and 'generals'", his eyes lit up, and he raised his thumb with great admiration: "What General Wei said is reasonable!" The last will be subdued! ”

Li Quan on the side was confused when he heard it, and said with a smile: "What 'generals' and 'generals'?" Are you talking about chess? ”

Wei Changfeng smiled: "Definitely." We are talking about Gaozu and Han Hou. ”

He immediately explained to Li Quan: "History: There are differences between the generals who taste calm and believe in words. He asked, "If I am like me, can I compare geometry?" The letter said: "Your Majesty can only send 100,000." Shang said: "What is Yu Jun? He said: "The more ministers there are, the better the ears." Shang smiled and said: "The more the merrier, what is my fowl" The letter said: "Your Majesty can't be a soldier and a good general, this is the reason why the letter is Your Majesty's fowl." ”

That means that once, Han Gaozu and Han Xin were talking about the abilities of the generals, and Han Xin replied that there were differences. He asked Han Xin again: "In your opinion, how many people like me can bring?" Han Xin replied: "Your Majesty is almost the same with 100,000 horses. Gao Zu asked again, "What about you?" Han Xin said unceremoniously: The more I am, the better. Gao Zu then smiled and said, "Since you are so good at leading troops, why were you caught by me?" Han Xin pondered for a while before saying, "Although your ability to lead troops is not as good as mine, you have the ability to manage generals." That's why I was captured by His Majesty. ””

After this explanation, Li Quan also understood, and said with a smile: "Han Xin is also very good at talking. ”

"And it makes sense." Wei Changfeng replied.

At this time, the order had been handed down, and everyone sat on the bank, looking at the river, and talked slowly, but they were all unintentional, and they were all thinking about the idea of crossing the river.

Li Quan looked at the river and muttered, "I'm afraid this is the legendary Wuxi." ”

"What Brooks?" There was a question behind him, but it was Bai Qi and Zheng Kejin who came. The two of them were originally restraining the troops in the back, and they heard that the reward order was handed down, and they knew that they were sad in front, so they simply came to see what the situation was, and they just heard Li Quan talk about the "legendary Wuxi", so Zheng Kejin asked.

Li Quan sighed: "Legend has it that the gods of the Huns set up five streams for the Huns in order to protect their royal court, and ordinary people are sad. You see, there are five streams here, the first one is already so sad, and here is the same, I'm afraid that even if you cross here, the other three will not be so easy to cross. ”

Bai Qi heard Li Quan talk about this, and said with a smile: "That's just a legend, not to mention that this Wuxi only passes south from east to west, if it comes from the south or from the north, but it is unstoppable, I think it was made up by the Xiongnu Shan Yu to scare the people." ”

Li Quan shook his head and said: "General Bai said that the last general knew it earlier, of course this explanation is good, but this is just a family's words, everyone thinks it is right, but I don't know if it is true?" ”

Bai Qi was stunned, but he couldn't help nodding slowly. It is really difficult to clarify what the truth of history is, and sometimes what everyone thinks is true may actually be false, while what no one believes is historical fact.

Wei Changfeng was in a daze when he saw Bai Qi, and said with a smile: "This question is left to the Xiucai to study, our current question is how to cross this Wuxi, is it possible to really go around in a big circle, hit the south or the north?" That's going to take a long time. ”

The crowd fell silent for a moment. After a while, Li Quan sighed and said: "If only there was no need to start a war with the Xiongnu, there would be no need to cross these five streams, in fact, in the final analysis, it is all the desire of people." ”

An Ran said with a smile: "General Li has been a monk and has no desires, but we mortals can't. ”

Li Quan shook his head and said, "How can you say that there is no desire and no desire? In my opinion, all people in the world, whether they are monks or mortals, have desires and desires. Mortals, seeking wealth, seeking officials, seeking fame, monks, seeking immortals, seeking Buddha, are the children of the Buddhist family, saying what 'colorless and phaseless' all day long, but seeking colorless and phaseless, isn't it asking? Although the desires are different, the desires and desires are the same. The Taoist priest sees through the red dust, does not seek fame or profit, but also meditates and alchemy all day long, mentions dragons and tigers, and catches the five elements...... Yes! ”

Everyone was stunned to listen to Li Quan talking about Buddha there, maybe Li Quan's strange scream, they were all startled, and asked one after another: "What's wrong?" What's up? ”

Li Quan looked at Wei Changfeng, laughed, laughed, and said to Wei Changfeng: "General Wei, you have a reward, I'm afraid you will receive it in the future." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was moved with joy.

Wei Changfeng is to reward the whole army and ask for a way to cross the river. Li Quan said that he wanted to receive the reward, so it was naturally a way to cross the river, if it was someone else, he might have to verify it, and suspect three points first, but Li Quan said that it was naturally more credible.

"Speak quickly!"

"General Li, speak quickly!" Everyone urged with their mouths.

Li Quan replied with a smile: "The Taoist Five Elements say, gold overcomes wood, wood overcomes earth, earth overcomes water, water overcomes fire, and fire overcomes gold. Now this quagmire is not water, but soil, since it was reversed before, not with water to overcome fire, but with fire to overcome water, then now it is also reversed, and water can be overcome. ”

"General Li, let's talk about the specific method." The more An Ran listened, the more anxious he became, he didn't care who was wrong, he just wanted to listen to what to do.

"Pour some clean water into this stream. It's as simple as that. Li Quan replied.

Everyone glanced at each other, and they all had some doubts in their hearts, did this method introduced from the Taoist method work?

"Anyway, you might as well give it a try." Wei Changfeng said, "At least, it's worth trying. Although he said "worth a try", the tone was obvious, and he didn't believe it, but in any case, it didn't hurt to try, at most it didn't work.
