"Withdraw, quit Elephant Water!"

Ou Long nodded a little blankly, his eyes full of reluctance! It was the third watch of the night, and more than 60,000 South Vietnamese troops quietly sneaked down the mountain from the eastern foot without raising fireworks. As soon as they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they were immediately discovered by the patrol of the barbarian squad, and a fierce battle broke out between the two! The South Vietnamese army fled for their lives and struggled to kill the barbarians, so they turned southeast and ran for their lives on the front line of Xiangshui!

Meng Long was woken up by his own soldiers in his night's sleep, and when he heard that the South Vietnamese army suddenly broke through to the east, he couldn't help but feel great regret, and said in his heart: "This South Vietnamese army is really a rabbit, and when he saw that the wind was not in the right direction, he immediately fled!" Hey, this battle of Longwei Mountain is a bit anticlimactic! "Knowing that it was too late to mobilize the army to chase after him, he had to watch the South Vietnamese army flee! The next day, Meng Long ordered tens of thousands of barbarians to cross Longwei Mountain and approach Dragon Valley!

The main force of the South Vietnamese army panicked and ran all the way to Xiangshui, and the gate of Longgu opened by itself. Three tens of thousands of troops covered up, and after a brief battle, they defeated the defenders of Longgu 5,000 Xiwan and captured a large number of grain and grass and tens of thousands of people in Xiou! Meng Long also did not treat the captured Xiou soldiers and civilians harshly, except for all their weapons, everything else was as usual.

A few days later, Meng Long left 10,000 troops to garrison Longgu and was responsible for the transfer of grain and grass, and the rest of the army left Longgu and went straight to Xiangshui to pursue the South Vietnamese rout! On this day, most of the barbarians crossed the mountains and mountains, pursued all the way to the vicinity of Xiangshui, and came to a huge mountain area that stretched for hundreds of miles!

At this time, the weather was getting hotter, and the barbarians had been rushing to the mountain road all morning, and they were very thirsty. Meng Long also wiped the hot sweat on his forehead, looked at the scorching sun, swallowed his saliva, and ordered: "Come here, order the army to find a water source and camp on the spot for lunch!" ”

"Whoa!"

The barbarians were also tired, so they rested one after another, and sent scouts to look for water in all directions, preparing to move the camp for lunch.

After a while, the soldiers reported: "King Qiyu, there is no other water source nearby, only a large spring has been found in a mountain col in the west, which is enough for the army to drink!" ”

Meng Long was overjoyed and immediately ordered the three armies to move to the other side for lunch. When the barbarians heard that there was water, they immediately jumped with joy, and they didn't need to urge, they flew and ran away. In the distance, I heard the sound of the spring water, and there was a puddle of water with a length and width of more than ten zhang below the spring. Under the light of the sun, this turquoise water dust exudes an alluring charm!

"There's water!"

The barbarians who led the way cheered, rushed forward, grabbed a good position, plunged into the water, and drank to their heart's content. After drinking enough water, the barbarians of the former army shook their heads with satisfaction and lay down on the grass beside them to rest! Behind, the main force of the barbarians is also rushing into the mountain col and rushing to the spring!

Just as the barbarian army was about to run to the spring and drink it, suddenly thousands of barbarians in the front army shouted with their lower abdomen in their hands. After a while, I vomited and diarrhea, and I couldn't even speak!

When the middle and rear armies of the barbarians saw the miserable appearance of the brothers in the former army, how could they still dare to drink water, they were immediately discouraged, and their faces changed color. The news quickly reached Meng Long's ears, Meng Long was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly rode his horse to the spring, and thousands of soldiers on the side of the fruit were holding their stomachs and moaning in pain on the grass.

Meng Long was anxious and shouted, "Where is the former military medical officer? ”

Several pro-soldiers brought the two medical officers of the former army to see Meng Long, but they were pitiful for the two medical officers who were disheveled. The whole body is filthy, and the face is pale, obviously dying!

Meng Long was furious: "Didn't this king say that you must be careful when drinking or eating in this southern wilderness, and you must be examined by a medical officer!" You two fools, but you have even poisoned yourself, what kind of crime should you be guilty of! ”

Seeing that Meng Long was furious, the two medical officers were immediately frightened by a quarter of what was left of his life, and whimpered: "The big and big kings spare their lives, and the small and small people have tested and tested the spring water." It is indeed non-toxic! But no, I don't know why, why it's like this, like this! ”

The two of them were already slurred and sobbing when they spoke, and Meng Long barely heard what these two people were saying! Meng Long was stunned: "I have tested the spring water." So why is it still poisoned? ”

Seeing that their faces were full of bitterness, obviously they didn't know what was going on, Meng Long's heart was even more upset, and he hurriedly said, "Then you don't know what kind of poison is in it?" ”

When the two medics spoke again, their mouths were full of whining. I can't hear what I'm saying anymore! Meng Long was in a hurry, and ordered: "Come, quickly order all the medical officers to come forward and see what poison the sergeant has been in?" ”

"Whoa!"

Soon. The medical officers of the Zhonghou Army rushed up one after another, and were ordered to check on the thousands of barbarian soldiers who had been poisoned, but they all stared dryly and had no clue.

Meng Long was thirsty. was also on fire, and suddenly he was a little anxious, and An Hu and other generals were also helpless! Suddenly, seeing Qiang Zhu rushing up from the Chinese army, Meng Longru saw the life-saving straw, and hurriedly greeted him and asked: "Qiang Zhu, why do you see why these soldiers of our army have become like this after drinking these spring water?" ”

Qiang Zhu jumped off his horse and checked the poisoned barbarians, his face changed a little and said: "I heard that there are some poisonous springs in the deep mountains and wild mountains of Lingnan, it seems that this is it!" Judging by the symptoms of the sergeants' poisoning, it should be the so-called 'dumb spring'. The middle one vomits, nausea, diarrhea, slurred speech, and eventually collapses, spasms and dies! This kind of poisonous water is different from ordinary poisonous water, it looks the same on the surface, it is still clear and cold, and it is difficult for ordinary medical officers to distinguish it! ”

"Dumb Spring!?"

Meng Long was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something, changed his face, and said with a wry smile: "Is there really such a poisonous spring in this world?" ”

Qiang Zhu smiled bitterly: "I lied to you, I did hear about it!" In this ancient wilderness, there is no possibility, maybe there are many ancient beasts that have not been extinct! ”

Meng Long was speechless, then shook his head, glanced at An Hu, and said, "Then what should I do?" ”

An Hu smiled bitterly and spread his hands and said: "I can't help it, I've only heard of it, and I haven't seen it with my own eyes, my old nest 60,000 mountains are far away from here!" ”

Meng Long stared at him for a long time, and when he saw An Hu's innocent appearance, he was sure that An Hu was not joking with him, and said with a wry smile: "That's miserable, now that the army has no water, if you continue to move forward, it's strange if you don't die of thirst!" You must know that there are at least two or three days to go before the elephant water! Along the way, even if you encounter spring water again, who would dare to drink it! ”

An Hu scratched his head, and suddenly remembered: "By the way, the South Vietnamese army just passed here a few days ago, why can they pass through here safely?" ”

Meng Long suddenly woke up and said, "That's right, since those South Vietnamese troops can pass safely, it means that there must be another water source here!" Meng Long and An Hu glanced at each other and immediately smiled: "Groundwater!" ”

Meng Long immediately ordered: "Come on, the spring water here is not drinkable, immediately send a sergeant to find the moist soil and dig the ground for a spring!" ”

"Whoa!"

The barbarians were ordered to send tens of thousands of barbarian troops to search for possible springs. And Meng Long and the barbarian army had no choice but to look at the large pool of clear spring water in front of them in this valley to quench their thirst, and the anger was getting bigger and bigger, and they were almost going crazy with thirst!

An hour later, the good news came: the minority sergeants living in the desert area of the Qin State reported that they had found a large amount of wet soil in a depression in the north, and dozens of clear springs had been dug up! Meng Long was overjoyed and said, "Have you ever drunk it?" Is it safe? The sergeant replied excitedly: "Back to the king, the junior general and others have let a few war horses drink, there is no hindrance, you can drink!" ”

Meng Long was overjoyed, and immediately ordered: "Quick, lead the way, and the army will move to the other side of the camp!" ”

Suddenly, the barbarians who were thirsty on the ground suddenly perked up and rushed to the long-awaited spring! Thousands of poisoned sergeants had no choice but to carry them on stretchers and follow them all the way!

"Whew. Happy, happy! ”

Having almost drunk all the water from a bladder, the brutes exhaled happily. The barbarian generals were also well drunk, lying comfortably on the ground, burping!

At this time, the medical officer hurriedly reported again: "My lord, the situation of the soldiers in the poisoned land is not good, many of them have convulsions so badly, some have begun to vomit blood, if there is no way to treat them, I am afraid that someone will die in another hour or so!" ”

Meng Long listened. I was speechless for a moment, and then I remembered that there were still thousands of poisoned soldiers who urgently needed to be treated! But Ren Menglong is both civil and military, and his talent is peerless. He can only stare at the poison of this poisonous spring! When he was helpless, a soldier suddenly rushed to him. Hurriedly said: "King, there is a South Vietnamese who claims to be an old friend of the king, with hundreds of soldiers to see King Jin and King Qiang Zhu!" ”

Meng Long crawled straight up when he heard this, and approached Qiang Zhu's side diligently: "Qiang Zhu, it's a witch sheep." His old nest is nearby, maybe he has a way to detoxify! ”

Qiang Zhu almost crooked his mouth and said, "Yes, come on, please hurry!" No. We'll see you in person! ”

The surrounding generals were suddenly puzzled: "Why does this king still have an old man in South Vietnam?" ”

I also got up to see what was going on! As soon as Meng Long arrived at the mouth of the valley, he saw a tall, thin and tall young man in a sackcloth and a short shirt waiting at the mouth of the valley, followed by hundreds of brute soldiers dressed in shirtless shirts and short skirts of animal skins! There are many barbarians who are nervously clenching their knives and guns and confronting the barbarians, and the atmosphere is quite unfriendly!

Meng Long laughed and said, "It's nice to have friends from afar!" Old friend, it's been a long time, are you okay? ”

Wu Yang understood, and greeted him with a smile: "King, after many years, your demeanor is better than before!" ”

The two hugged each other with great joy, and Meng Long whispered in Wu Yang's ear: "Good boy, it's been more than 20 years, and I finally see you!" By the way, what do I call you, you can't call you a little lamb, can you? ”

Wu Yang laughed, and then whispered: "You bastard, you still like this, call me Wu Yang, Wu Yang!" ”

When Meng Long heard Wu Yang's voice, he also smiled happily, almost forgetting that there were soldiers under his command who were poisoned.

"Well, it's not too late!"

Wu Yang glanced at Meng Long, and there was a smile in his eyes.

Meng Long understood, let go of Wu Yang, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Wu Yang, I heard that your lady is about to give birth, why do you have time to come to see me?" ”

Wu Yang smiled and said, "Thanks to your Hongfu, Humble Jing just gave birth to a son!" No, as soon as the dog was born, he rushed to see you! ”

Seeing that Wu Yang and Meng Long were really talking affectionately like old friends, the generals couldn't help but look at each other. Qiang Zhu touched his head and said in surprise: "How can this Meng Long still have old friends in this southern wasteland?" It's weird! How come I've never heard of it? ”

An Hu was also a little confused and said: "Yes, I have been with the king for many years, and I have heard of it from the end!" Did it fall from heaven to the earth? ”

The generals were puzzled, Meng Long had already come to the generals with the hand of the witch sheep, and introduced with a smile: "Generals, this is the witch sheep of the Shaodong of Cangwu Cave, when the king traveled in Chu in the past, he met by chance, and he can be a close friend. ”

Meng Long's face did not change, and he lied boldly! But everyone believed it and hurriedly saluted the witch sheep!

Only An Hu and the others muttered in their hearts: "We have been with the king all the year round, it seems that we have never seen such a character in Chudi?" ”

Although I was suspicious, I didn't dare to ask, and the king said yes!

Meng Long smiled and said, "Brother Xian, has the Lord of the Duoyan Cave allowed Brother Xian to come to help?" ”

Wu Yang smiled: "My father-in-law is very stubborn, he has always taken a neutral attitude before, and he does not help each other: he is not willing to send troops to help the South Vietnamese Army, nor does he want to help you, but he makes me anxious!" Now that the South Vietnamese army has been defeated and withdrawn from Xiou, and Luo Ying, the king of Luoyue, has also died in battle, I took this opportunity to persuade him, and it happened that the clumsy Jing had already been produced, so I sent troops to help in the starry night! ”

Meng Long breathed a sigh of relief. Hurriedly said: "You are too timely, there are thousands of soldiers in the current army who have been poisoned by the dumb spring, and they are in danger, I don't know if the virtuous brother can solve it?" ”

Wu Yang smiled: "Carving insect skills, see me solve it!" ”

Meng Long was overjoyed and said: "Great, the Witch Yang Shaodong Lord can really be said to be the lucky star of my Qin army!" ”

Wu Yang smiled: "Why should the king be polite. Just call me a witch sheep or a good brother! Without further ado, retreat and lead the way! ”

Meng Long nodded and said, "Brother Xian, please!" ”

At that moment, everyone hurried to the wounded barracks! In the camp of wounded soldiers, thousands of poisoned barbarians wailed in pain in their tents. The limbs kept twitching and spasming, and many people had vomited gall and sweat, and were vomiting blood!

Seeing that the generals were shocked, he said in his heart: "It's good that I didn't drink it just now, otherwise I would have suffered!" ”

Wu Yang looked at it, and his face was a little heavy.

Meng Long hurriedly said: "Brother Xian, how about it, can there be a way to solve it?" ”

Wu Yang was stunned for a long time, and Fang smiled bitterly: "The spring water you drink is born on the copper vein, so this strange poisonous spring is formed!" This water does not look like anything on the surface, and it is not detectable that it is highly poisonous, but when you drink it, you will be poisoned, and its symptoms are: vomiting, nausea, and inability to live. Even if it can't be treated, it will eventually collapse, spasm and die! To rescue is actually very simple, this bile water is acidic, as long as you get some lime water, you can detoxify! ”

The generals saw Meng Long and Wu Yang muttering something to discuss, and vaguely heard some dumb springs, poisonous springs or something, all of them were misty and rustling. I don't know why!

Meng Long realized: "I see, I thought it was really a miracle of heaven and earth!?" He hurriedly said, "Then how can we find so many calcareous things at one time?" You know, thousands of people have been poisoned! ”

Wu Yang smiled: "Before I came, I estimated that you didn't know that this place was sinister, and you might drink the poisonous spring by mistake, so you came to the antidote a long time ago!" This is an alkaline substance similar to lime naturally formed in my mountain, melt a bucket of water the size of a fist, let the soldiers in the poisoned area drink two bowls each, it is estimated that by the evening it will almost be detoxified! ”

Meng Long was overjoyed and said, "Great! Then it's hard to arrange it! ”

Wu Yang nodded, and ordered the cave men to bring hundreds of buckets of water, and then took out pieces of gray-white limestone and put them into the water, and after a while, the limestone melted and melted into the water! Then, according to Qiang Zhu's instructions, the barbarians of Tsuiluo and the barbarians of Miaoling cooperated and poured two bowls of lime water on each poisoned barbarian.

Sure enough, soon, the symptoms of the poisoned barbarians were alleviated. In the evening, when Meng Long and the generals looked again, basically all the barbarians had stopped vomiting, spasms, and their complexions gradually became normal. It's just that these people have been vomiting for nearly an afternoon, and they are already very weak, and I am afraid that they will have to recuperate for a few days before they can recover!

Meng Long finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and said happily: "Fortunately, fortunately!" If it weren't for the virtuous brother who came sooner, I would have to explain these thousands of soldiers here! Wu Yang said with a smile: "The king is deeply blessed, and he should respond to the heavenly phenomena, and everything can be auspicious in the face of disasters!" ”

As he spoke, he secretly squeezed his eyes at Meng Long! The generals were also very suspicious: "How come as soon as you enter southern Xinjiang, someone will come to help you every time there is a catastrophe, it is really God's protection!" ”

I can't help but feel more confident for a while! Meng Long laughed and said, "Brother Chengxian Jiyan, someone is coming!" Set up a banquet in the handsome tent, and the king should take the wind for the virtuous brother to express his gratitude! ”

The generals then remembered, as if they were so busy that they didn't eat at noon, and their stomachs were rumbling with hunger! Lianxin followed Meng Long and flocked to the handsome tent! The sky has just darkened, the tent is already brightly lit, the voices are boiling, the generals are shouting and drinking toasts, gulping wine, the atmosphere in the tent is very warm!

Meng Long raised his glass and said with a smile: "Generals, today my thousands of soldiers have escaped from the great disaster, all thanks to the work of the Wuyang Cave Master, come, we will toast him!" ”

The generals responded with a bang and raised their glasses accordingly. Wu Yang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly raised his glass and said with a smile: "A little thing, with a lot of effort, how dare King Meng and the generals be so loved!" "Say that, drink it all!

The generals saw that the witch sheep was very bold, and they couldn't help but be very happy with their temper, and they accepted the witch sheep even more! An Hu remembered and said, "King Wuyang, I wonder if there is a similar poisonous spring in front of you?" If there is, our army must be prepared in advance! ”

The generals also thought about it, and said: "Yes, if there is, be careful!" Otherwise, it is too troublesome to dig the ground for a spring every time! ”

Qiang Zhu thought for a while and said: "There should be another poisonous spring, the local natives call him 'Pulling Bird Spring'!" ”

Meng Long was a little surprised: "What is 'Pulling Bird Spring'?" ”
