Damn, are you going to see me laugh?

After hearing this, Zhao Gou was disgusted in his heart, and swore that he would not get rid of you two-faced people this time, even if this king had never come.

After being stationed in Xiangyang for a day, he went south to Jingzhou.

When I arrived in Jingzhou, I gradually saw the impact of the summer weather on the army, and many soldiers fell ill, that is, they were suffering from various dysentery, malaria and other strange diseases, and the marching speed slowed down.

The Jingzhou garrison provided the officers and soldiers with 15 huge ships and 3,000 sailors for river crossing and water warfare.

The boss of the Jingzhou garrison was a Sichuan man, surnamed Wu Mingding, a gentleman who believed in his heart, and he was worried when he saw that Zhao Gou's soldiers had begun to contract the epidemic.

"Lord Wang, this time to the south, the northerners will inevitably be unadaptable, and the benefits are to fight quickly. I think that even before crossing the river, there are already soldiers who have been infected with epidemics, and I am afraid that if we cross the river, the situation will be even worse. Lord Wang, why don't you just garrison the army in Jingzhou and wait for the autumn to be crisp before discussing the southern expedition? ”

Zhao Gou said: "General Wu said very well, this king brings troops, and the advantage is to fight quickly." If you stay in Jiangnan after crossing the river, the result will be very bad. But this king didn't have time to wait for Daoqiu to send troops when he was in a good mood, as long as all the soldiers used their lives, only a paragraph led to this king and didn't pay attention to it. ”

Wu Ding muttered, and finally said: "Lord Wang, if I don't remind you, I obviously didn't do my duty, but I'm afraid that if I remind you, I will frustrate the army." ”

Zhao Gou had a surprised expression, and said in his heart that what you said was so serious, is there any bad news?

"General Wu, just say it."

"Lord Wang, don't you know where Duan Zhaobing's confidence comes from?"

Zhao Gou shook his head, he thought that Duan Yin was just seeking wealth and danger.

Wu Ding Zhengse said: "Lord Wang, Duan Yin has a deep contact with the people of Miao Jiang, and there must be Gu Shi from Miao Jiang behind him to go out with the army this time." Now that it's the middle of summer, I'm afraid that the Gu Master will surprise him and plot against the prince's army. The danger of Gu poison, by the time the prince realizes it, I am afraid that it will be hopeless. ”

With Gu?

Miao Jiang?

A few words instantly popped up in Zhao Gou's mind.

If Duan Yin is pressed tightly, he will definitely do everything, and when the Gu Master also comes out, his Zhao Gou's soldiers will inevitably suffer huge losses.

It's a head-scratching point.

"General Wu, I guess you have some countermeasures? If you can show me a way, this king will be rewarded. Zhao Gou said proudly.

Wu Ding lowered his voice and said: "Lord Wang, if it were someone else, I would have let him live and die, but I have heard more about the name of Prince Kang in Jingzhou, and I have longed for it for a long time in my heart, and I will know everything and say everything." ”

Saying that, Wu Ding pointed in the direction of Jiangxia and said: "In Jiangxia, there is a master who is good at Gu poison art, surnamed Gan Mingfeng, who is already in his old age, he is good at using Gu poison and cracking Gu poison. Unless this person agreed to accompany the army, the army could not easily cross the river. ”

Zhao Gou said: "In this case, this king has prepared some gold, silver, pearls, and emeralds, and the general has sent someone to bring them over, please come out of this master." ”

After hearing this, Wu Ding hurriedly shook his hand and said: "Lord Wang, this person is very arrogant, and he must be taken care of by the Lord himself before he has the opportunity to invite him out of the mountain." ”

Zhao Gou smiled, and said in his heart, is this asking me to take care of the thatched house? said that you are sweet and fat, you are really gasping up,

Anyway, as long as it can reduce casualties, this king will not hesitate.

At that time, Zhao Gou packed a box of gold, silver, pearls, and cui, and accompanied by Wu Ding, took Han Shizhong and Tang Mianqi and others to Jiangxia.

When I arrived in Jiangxia, I went straight to visit the bamboo forest where Ganfeng lived.

Zhao Gou looked at the scene in front of him and said in his heart that this was the standard configuration of ancient hermits.

Walking not far away, I heard the slang of a boy's voice in the distance, and when I looked closely, it turned out to be a boy with a horn riding on the back of an ox, leisurely grazing cattle under the forest.

When the boy saw that someone was coming, he did not panic, nor dodged, but the slang in his mouth ceased, and he looked at them with bare eyes.

Zhao Gou said to the boy: "You boy, do you know how far away Ganfengzhang's family is?" ”

The boy said, "You are an outsider, why did you come here to find Gan Fengzhang?" ”

Zhao Gou smiled, and said in his heart that this boy recognized me as a foreigner just by his accent, and he was still very smart, and he must have a background.

"You boy, it's true that I'm a foreigner, and I've prepared a lot of gold, silver, beads, and emeralds to send to Ganfeng's father-in-law, and you lead the way for me."

The boy said, "I want ten gold, give it to me and I'll show you the way." ”

Zhao Gou smiled, and put ten taels of gold in his hand, but he didn't give it to the boy.

The boy said, "Throw it for me." ”

Zhao Gou smiled and said: "You boy may not know the way, my gold and silver are for those who can help me." ”

The boy cried out, "You are so stingy, if you don't give me gold, I won't lead the way." ”

After that, the boy was about to go.

Suddenly, Zhao Gou looked at the soup flag on the side.

Tang Mianqi understood, slapped the horse directly, caught up with the boy, and grabbed the boy with one arm.

The boy kicked on all four legs and scolded fiercely: "Where did the wild man come from, how dare he do this to me!" ”

Zhao Gou pulled out the remnant sword, compared it to the boy's face, and said with a smile: "You can choose not to lead the way, but you can't save your life." ”

The boy softened: "I'll lead the way." ”

The boy rode on the back of the ox, led the way in front, and circled along the mountain road, until at last he descended a hillside, and the smoke of the cooking could be seen not far away.

Tang Mianqi said to the boy: "Speed up!" ”

The boy snorted coldly and said, "I've never seen anyone so anxious to die." ”

When Tang Mianqi heard this, he suddenly felt a chill, looked at the boy and said, "If you dare to play tricks, I will make you die under the knife." ”

The boy was not afraid, and still led the way in front of him slowly and methodically.

After walking for another hour, I suddenly felt a familiarity in front of me.

Han Shizhong exclaimed: "This boy is taking us around in circles!" This place is so familiar, it turned out to be something we had walked before. ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on the boy at the same time.

Tang Mianqi was about to catch the boy and interrogate him, when suddenly the ox under the boy's seat descended the hillside like an arrow from the string and disappeared from the woods.

"This is the Bagua Array, you gang of vicious people, don't even think about coming out!"

The boy's arrogant voice echoed in the hollow.

Everyone looked at each other for a while, but they didn't expect to be played by a boy.

"Lord Wang, this gossip array was designed by Zhuge Wuhou back then, it can trap thousands of troops, if what the boy said is true, we are all in danger." Wu Ding's face was sad.

Bagua Array? Can you trap thousands of troops?

When Zhao Gou heard this, he immediately remembered that he had learned ancient history during the nine-year compulsory education, and Zhuge Liang, the military advisor of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period, trapped Sima Yi's thousands of troops with the Bagua Array, no matter how the other party broke through, there was no result.

Could this really be a gossip array?
