The defeat of the Wu army in the first battle made Cao Pi impressed with Sima Yi's command ability, Zhang He was a veteran of hard work, Cao Pi was happy, and immediately crowned Zhang He as the left general.

Sima Yi and Lu Xun are both first-class leaders, Lu Xun just despised Sima Yi, he will lose the first battle, after the review, more calm, the war between Wei and Wu has just kicked off, and it will be very exciting.

Zhuge Liang and Wang Baoyu led 300,000 Shu troops together and headed towards the southwest, and the barbarian tribes along the way surrendered one after another, surrendered, and offered various supplies to replenish military supplies.

The army advanced all the way, and finally reached a place two hundred miles away from the Kushan country, stopping at the bank of a large river, which was the Mee River.

Not far from the other side of the Mee River, there is a city of considerable size, Wang Baoyu climbed a high mountain on the riverside, and saw through the telescope that the name was marked above the city gate in two characters, two of which were called the Vedas.

At this time, the Shu army faced many problems, first of all, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the weapons had to be wrapped in cloth and cooled down regularly, otherwise the hands and shoulders would be burned.

The night is even more difficult, the sultry heat is naturally needless to say, mosquitoes come to attack in groups, and they can almost eat people, fortunately with Hua Tuo's miasma repellent pills, otherwise the soldiers will definitely suffer from malaria.

The second is the language barrier, the more you go this way, the less communication between the local barbarians and the Han will be, and they can only rely on sign language to communicate.

The army first bathed happily at the Mekong River, and then set up camp, because of the heat, the soldiers had a much worse appetite and were in low spirits.

Zhuge Liang obeyed Wang Baoyu's advice and allowed the soldiers to cut their hair short and resume it when they returned. But half of the soldiers still follow the tradition, sweating like rain and refusing to cut their hair, and even more so the generals with great perseverance, who don't even think about it.

"Alas, I have never fought an unprepared battle, but today it seems to be an adventure." In the big tent, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh.

There is no map, the language barrier, this war does seem blind, if it weren't for his daughter running here, with Zhuge Liang's cautious character, he would never march so rashly.

"Sir, it's not like we're without an advantage. Wait until tomorrow to capture the Vedic city ahead, maybe there will be something to gain, if you can meet a Han Chinese. Wang Baoyu said.

Hey, Zhuge Liang sighed, this kind of thing is hard to come by, "I really don't know if Guoguo can understand the hearts of his parents." ”

"Guoguo has always been a sensible child, and the reason why he has come to this point today is nothing more than his personal pursuit of different hobbies. And for her, Mr. came to Guishan thousands of miles away, presumably Guoguo will understand one day. Wang Baoyu said firmly.

"Hehe, if Baoyu goes home, what kind of behavior should your children be?" Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"Lao Tzu who doesn't recognize it is also a father!"

"I'm afraid that my daughter is older, so I can't wait."

"Hehe, if you don't obey, you won't give a penny, if you can't do it, they will become a monk."

Well? Zhuge Liang was stunned, and laughed out loud in a rare way. In fact, Wang Baoyu said that, after so long, the daughter and adopted son in the distant future should also have their own family and career, and maybe even the image of their father has been forgotten.

While the two were talking, they heard a report from the guards that a man had come from the city of Veda on the other side of the river, speaking in Chinese, and asked to meet the leader of the army.

"Hehe, I actually took the initiative to send it to the door, what do you really want, it's a good thing!" Wang Baoyu laughed.

"Quickly pass this person in and speak." Zhuge Liang hurriedly said.

After a while, a middle-aged man with short hair entered the big account, this person was 1.8 meters tall, with a scarf wrapped around his head, wearing a very ordinary gray and white short shirt and trousers, and a pair of straw sandals under his feet, dressed a bit like a Han person. And the black face, the eyes and teeth are white, but it completely looks like an Indian.

After the person came into the account, he knelt down on one knee, put his hand on his chest and gave Zhuge Liang a salute first, and then Wang Baoyu said respectfully: "In Xiaxiangju, meet Prime Minister Zhuge and King Hanxing." ”

As soon as he heard this, he knew that the guard at the door had explained it in advance, otherwise, he would not have known who was sitting on it. Seeing that this person has such a humble attitude and can speak fluent Chinese, Zhuge Liang and Wang Baoyu are very happy, they are exactly the talents they need.

"Mr. Xiangju, please get up!" Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

Xiangju sat down on one side, Zhuge Liang ordered tea, Wang Baoyu felt that this person's eyes were very bright, with a bit of majesty, obviously not an ordinary person, and asked with a smile: "Comrade Xiangju, how did you learn Chinese when you are so far away from the Han Dynasty?" ”

"I have been to the East with my master, lived for a few years, and learned it unconsciously." Xiangju wrote lightly, in fact, with his familiarity with the customs of the Han people, Cheng Dù should have put in a lot of hard work.

"Who is your master? Is it also us Han? Wang Baoyu asked again.

"It's the Treasure Palm Mage!" Xiangju didn't hide it.

Unexpectedly, Master Baozhang had disciples all over the world, Wang Baoyu felt a lot closer, and hurriedly called Sun Shangxiang in. Now Sun Shangxiang and Wukong are inseparable, and he wants to see if this Xiangju can know Wukong.

Waiting for Sun Shangxiang to come in, Xiangju got up again, folded his hands and bowed humbly, maybe in his eyes, all living beings are worthy of respect.

Sure enough, Wukong saw Xiangju, jumped out of Sun Shangxiang's arms, and arched his hand at Xiangju's humanity, Xiangju was even more surprised and said: "Wukong, why are you here with you?" ”

Wukong pointed at Wang Baoyu and then at Sun Shangxiang, if he wanted to express what he meant, he could only guess.

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, and had some trust in Xiangju, and then asked, "I don't know what Mr. is here for?" ”

"What is the purpose of the Han army here?" Xiangju asked rhetorically.

"Conquer Guishan!" Zhuge Liang said without concealment.

Xiangju's eyes showed an excited look, and he got up and arched his hand: "I can't hide it, I am the city lord of Vedic City, the Kushan barbarians have occupied the holy land of Buddhism for many years, and they have expelled the local people, and now the Han rebel army is really a blessing for our country." ”

Zhuge Liang did not express an opinion on this, in this campaign, finding his daughter is the top priority, and whether he can really subdue Guishuang is not within his consideration.

"Hehe, aren't you afraid that we will encroach on these places?" Wang Baoyu asked with a smile.

"The Han civilization is known to the whole world, and it is determined to implement benevolent government and save the people from fire and water." Xiangju is eloquent, and first put the hat of benevolence and righteousness on the army.

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly and said: "This is true, my Han has always been close to neighbors and countries, and I only want to prosper together, not to conquer it." ”

"Prime Minister, I have a word, I don't know if I can say it?" Xiangju asked.
