"Back to Your Majesty, General Zhao Tong and General Dong Qi led their troops to camp ten miles away from our city, and the two of them are on their way to meet the driver." A soldier came running to report.

Liu Yong was overjoyed.

"The two generals are really fast, waiting for me to go out of the city in person."

Outside the city, Zhao Tong and Dong Qi led several cronies and soldiers to the city gate.

The city gate opened, and Liu Yong rode out.

"The two generals don't need to enter the city, they only listen to my will here." Liu Yong sat on his horse and said.

Zhao Tong and Dong Qi dismounted and wanted to kneel down, but were stopped by Liu Yong.

Liu Yong's eyes looked in the direction where Meng Zhuo was very likely to appear, and pointed with the short whip in his hand, and said, "Fifteen miles ahead of this, there is a dense forest, and there is a deep ditch in the depths of the dense forest. Meng Zhuo and his people are suspicious, and they will not dare to enter, as long as they wait until after dark, they can only attack when they see the fire flashing on the head of the city. During this period, Duoduo carried the water from the ditch and poured it on the road to confuse the southerners. ”

"Wechen obeys." Dong Qi replied.

After sending Dong Qi away, Liu Yong jumped off the horse and grabbed Zhao Tong's hand.

"General Zhao's father was my uncle, when I was young, I was taught, and when the first emperor was alive, he also often praised the virtue of my uncle. Feeling the changes in the world, now that my uncle is gone, you and my brother still need to be closer to comfort the souls of my uncle and the first emperor in heaven. ”

Liu Yong's words were not much, but Zhao Tong was very moved.

"In the past, I heard that His Majesty was weak and had no opinions, but now I can see it, and I know that the rumors in the market are not credible." Zhao Tong said.

Liu Yong slapped Zhao Tong on the shoulder.

"In the past, my uncle was known as the victorious general of Shu Han, and he never tasted defeat in his life, but today, I want you to lure the enemy with deception, I don't know if General Zhao is willing."

Zhao Tong was slightly stunned.

"How does Your Majesty want Weichen to act?"

Liu Yongfu whispered something in Zhao Tong's ear.

"How did Your Majesty know that the enemy army is full of poisonous snakes?" Zhao Tong was also surprised.

"I don't dare to assert it, but I heard that Fei Fu once said that the person Meng Zhuo brought here is the descendant of the former Mulu King, who is good at driving away all kinds of beasts, and poisonous snakes are among them. I asked General Dong Qi to water along the road, and this is the intention. General Zhao only has to act according to my will, and at that time, I will personally lead the soldiers and horses in the city to attack him. Liu Yong said.

Zhao Tong immediately nodded again and again.

In fact, long before the arrival of Zhao Tong and Dong Qi, Liu Yong had already taken Qi Zhen and others to explore the terrain on Meng Zhuo's way several times, and he also knew that Meng Zhuo would not only confront him head-on like last time. If the two arrived a day late, Liu Yong would not have been able to make such an arrangement.

Seeing Zhao Tong leaving, Liu Yong returned to the city.

Meng Zhuo and Mu You and the others had already approached the dense forest in front.

"Report, the king of Qiqi, the king of Atuhan in the front sent someone to report, for some reason a large amount of water suddenly appeared on the road, and several war horses drank it, all showing signs of poisoning. And it was muddy and difficult to walk, so the king of Atuhan asked if he could stop moving forward for the time being, and wait for the stagnant water to dry up before marching again. A southern sergeant with his feet covered in mud and water, with a sad face, ran to Meng Zhuo and said.

Meng Zhuo stood up on his horse and looked forward.

"Since ancient times, there have been many miasma in the land boundary of our southerners, and there are many poisonous people in water and grass, but I don't want to have similar water in the borderline with me. I am afraid that the Shu people are deceitful, and they want King Atuhan to slow down and wait for the king to see it in person. ”

After Meng Zhuo finished speaking, he urged the war horse to run forward.

It was not far from the men and horses of Atuhan, who were walking in the front, and the horses slipped under their feet and almost fell.

On the ground, it was muddy, and in some places the water was half a foot deep, and it was slightly blood-red, emitting a foul smell. Meng Zhuo was worried about the war horse drinking, so he hurriedly lifted the reins with force.

At this time, most of Atuhan's men, who were in charge of opening the way in the front, had stopped.

The southerners like to wear bareback and straw sandals because the ground where they live is mostly flat and gravel, and in the scorching heat, even the ground will reflect the scorching heat wave, and even burn their feet, but such a waterlogged ground environment is difficult for them to encounter.

Ah Tuhan came to Meng Zhuo's side.

"King, this road is difficult, if you force the army, I am afraid that the Shu army will be ambushed."

Meng Zhuo nodded.

"This king is also deeply afraid of the Shu army's schemes."

Before the words of the two of them fell, suddenly, a dense drum sound sounded in the depths of the dense forest on both sides, followed by the shouts of countless people, and a few feather arrows shot into the sky, and the sharp whistle immediately caused a panic among the southern soldiers.

"There is an ambush in the Shu army." Atuhan shouted.

The southern soldiers who were stuck in the mud drew their weapons and stood in front of Meng Zhuo and Ah Tuhan.

"Beware of enemy crossbow arrows." Ah Tuhan had already learned the power of the Shu army's crossbows, and he was worried that his men and horses would be killed and injured too much, and he would not be able to gain a foothold in the south in the future, so he shouted while asking people to go to the back to mobilize rattan players.

"The Shu army is powerful, and the rattan players can't move forward." Meng Zhuo shouted.

Everyone immediately remembered that Zhuge Liang burned the vine armor army at the beginning, and Liu Yong's fire on the head of Jianning City had already frightened these people.

"Quickly retreat." Without waiting for Meng Zhuo to speak, Ah Tuhan had already shaken the flag in his hand and commanded the men and horses to retreat behind.

In the depths of the dense forest, Dong Qi kept waving the flag, signaling everyone to continue to clamour.

The sergeant of the Southern Army quickly retreated under the earth-shattering shout.

"Report, there are Shu soldiers and horses behind my army." A war horse ran to Meng Zhuo's side, and because the road was muddy, when he stopped, he bent his front hooves and knelt in front of Meng Zhuo's horse.

Meng Zhuo was shocked.

"Is King Muyou's vehicle okay?"

Of course, what he is most worried about is the poisonous snakes brought by Mu You, if they are destroyed, he will come back this time, won't he have to give up all his efforts.

"King Muyou commanded the men and horses to desperately protect the vehicle, but fortunately it was intact." The man jumped down from his kneeling horse and replied.

"That's fine." Meng Zhuo relieved his heart, "Go back to the army to rescue King Muyou." ”

The crowd continued to retreat behind.

In fact, without Meng Zhuo and A Tuhan and others coming, Mu You had already defeated the Shu army.

Soon after Zhao Tong's men came into contact with Mu You, they began to retreat.

"The Shu people are so vulnerable, why is my king so careful." Mu You was overjoyed and led his men and horses to chase after him.

It was already dark, and Dong Qi had been waiting for the fire on the head of Jianning City.

It wasn't until the last Southern Sergeant also escaped from his sight that Dong Qi saw a flash of fire. In an instant, the soldiers of the Shu army rushed out of the dense forest and chased in the direction of the retreat of the southern army.

Soon, Dong Qi received a report that the last vehicle of the Southern Army was also set on fire by the Shu Army.

It was the people in the city led by Liu Yong who set the fire.

After Zhao Tong succeeded in luring Mu You away, Liu Yong had already led people to pounce on those vehicles, and used grease as fuel to ignite the curtains on the cars.

It's just a pity that these poisonous snakes were confined in an iron cage, and in less than a moment, they have been roasted alive.
