The roar of the river drowned Yan Liang's shouts. The group of soldiers were not stopped by the drinking, and were still gulping down Lu water.
"Zifeng, go and stop them quickly. Don't let them drink this Lu water again." Yan Liang shouted urgently.
Zhou Cang was stunned for a moment, then galloped towards the shore on horseback and shouted harshly at the soldiers who were drinking water.
The soldiers were at a loss, thinking about how it was such a hot day that their mouths were dry and their tongues were dry, and why the lord didn't even let anyone drink his water.
Moreover, the river water looks very clear and has a slightly sweet taste. It doesn't look poisonous at all.
The sergeants were all at a loss, but they did not dare to disobey Yan Liang's order, so they had no choice but to give up.
"My lord, Hui has lived in Nanzhong for a long time, but I have never heard that the Lushui water is poisonous. My lord, maybe you are a little worried." Li Hui said, who was also puzzled.
In fact, Yan Liang was not sure whether the Lu water was indeed poisonous.
Yan Liang only vaguely remembered that when Zhuge Liang was fighting in the south, it was also the summer season. Many soldiers fell to the ground due to poisoning after drinking Lu water.
Today, by the banks of the Lu River, I saw soldiers wanting to drink from the river. Yan Liang suddenly thought of this.
Just as Yan Liang was thinking about how to give Li Hui an explanation, he suddenly saw the soldiers who had drunk the river water, shouting and screaming, and fell to the ground holding their stomachs.
A sudden change occurred, and everyone was shocked.
Li Hui, Zhou Cang, and everyone around him glanced at Yan Liang in unison, with such astonished eyes that they were as if they were looking up to God.
They never imagined that their lord was actually right. This seemingly clear Lu water actually contained toxins.
Sure enough...
The Yan Liang in his words originally wanted to feel proud. But when he saw his soldiers falling to the ground due to poison, how could he be so proud?
At that moment, Yan Liang hurriedly gave orders to carry the poisoned soldiers to the camp and ordered doctors to treat them immediately.
At the same time, Yan Liang issued an order strictly forbidding soldiers from all camps to fetch water from the river.
After the order was passed down, all the soldiers came to their senses from the shock and started to get busy one after another.
"Hui Hui has lived in Nanzhong for a long time, but he didn't know that the Lu water was poisonous. I'm really ashamed." Li Hui came back to his senses and made no secret of his admiration for Yan Liang, "My lord is from the north, thousands of miles away, but he knew
The water in Lu is poisonous. My lord is truly a man of God."
"I know that Nanzhong is plagued by pestilence. Therefore, before I entered Shu, I sent people to Nanzhong to inquire about various geographical features. It is hot this summer, and during the day, it is the time when the water poisoning occurs. I want to drink the river water.
Or we can cross the river at night."
Yan Liang gave this explanation with a calm face.
Li Huixin believed it was true. He couldn't help but sigh: "Before my lord took Shu, he had already expected a battle with Nanyi. Such far-reaching foresight really makes Hui admire him."
The southern barbarians are a hidden danger and must be eliminated sooner or later. This is part of Yan Liang's plan.
However, no matter how foresight Yan Liang was, he could not predict that Liu Zhang would collude with Meng Huo, forcing him to advance the time for Ping Nazhong by a long time.
Of course, Li Hui would not have thought that Yan Liang had ever sent people to reconnoiter Nanzhong. His lord's foresight was nothing more than a foresight of history.
Yan Liang secretly smiled, but he didn't criticize it and accepted Li Hui's admiration calmly.
After inspecting the river bank, Yan Liang went back to the main tent and summoned the civil and military officials to discuss how to cross the river and defeat the enemy.
"Lord, we have a letter from Zhu Ti County." As soon as Fang entered the account, Fazheng brought good news to Yan Liang.
The envoys sent to Zhuti County have sent back news that Lu Kai and the Wang couple deeply hate Meng Huo's massacre of Han people and have decided to submit to Yan Liang. Now they have secretly contacted the powerful people in the county who are opposed to Meng Huo and gathered troops.
, prepared to launch a sudden attack on Meng Huo's lair according to Yan Liang's order.
"Lu Kai and the Wang couple are really good people. Send someone to sue them immediately. If they can raise an army, they will have made a great contribution. After Menghuo is defeated, they will be rewarded heavily." Yan Liang said excitedly.
The good news from Zhuti County made the atmosphere of the military meeting encouraging before it even started.
All the generals were excited and their fighting spirit was high. It seemed that defeating Meng Huo was a matter of effort.
Fazheng then said: "You should not underestimate the enemy too much. Meng Huo knew that Liu Zhang had been destroyed, but he did not flee back to Nanzhong. Instead, he continued to resist. It was obvious that he was drawing reinforcements from Nanzhong. There were elephant soldiers before, but now if
Another surprise force will probably give us a headache."
Fazheng was still quite calm, which sounded the alarm to the generals, and the blind optimism in the tent was slightly suppressed.
"One more thing. I followed my lord to inspect the river bank today and found that the barbarian army on the other side guarded the ferry very tightly. The weather was hot. During the day, the Lu River contained poisonous gas. It was neither drinkable nor crossing. At night, the view was
It is dark, the river is fast, and it is very dangerous to cross the river. Therefore, if our army wants to destroy Meng Huo, we must first solve the problem of how to cross the river smoothly."
Li Hui's warning words shocked the generals present.
The previous encounter with the War Elephant Legion was surprising enough, but now they encountered an entire river filled with poisonous gas. All the generals were thinking that Nanzhong was indeed a barren land just like the legend said.
"It seems that Meng Huo has learned wisely this time and finally knows how to use the geographical advantages to stop Gu's army." Yan Liang also sighed with emotion.
The Lujiang River, which contains poisonous gas, has become the biggest obstacle to Yan Liang's army going south at this moment.
All the civil and military officials fell into hard thinking. After pondering for a long time, they could not think of any balanced strategy to cross the river.
The big tent fell into silence.
Yan Liang turned his attention to Fazheng. At this moment, Fazheng, who was accompanying the army and planning the plan, must use his wise mind to find a shortcut for Yan Liang to cross the river.
The Fa is upright and indeed lives up to Yan Liang's expectations.
After pondering for a long time, Fazheng's eyes suddenly lit up and the corner of his mouth raised a sly smile.
"Lord, since the Lushui River is difficult to cross and the barbarian barriers on the south bank are strong, why don't we change our minds and induce the barbarians to take the initiative to cross the river to attack us?" Fazheng asked with a smile and cupped his hands.
To lure the barbarians to attack us?
Yan Liang's heart moved, and he vaguely seemed to have guessed something.
"The previous barbarian army took the initiative to attack several times, but our army was severely defeated. It is expected that they must have suffered too much before they wanted to stick to it. It is difficult to induce them to take the initiative to attack." Li Hui said.
Worried.
Fazheng sneered and said: "If you want to tempt the barbarians to be fooled, the key is not how many times the barbarians have suffered losses. As long as our acting is realistic enough, these barbarians will still lose their memory no matter how many times they have suffered losses."
The acting is realistic enough...
Looking at Fazheng's mysterious smile, Yan Liang seemed to have some realization.
…
On the south bank of Lushui River, there is a barbarian army camp.
The barbarian army had been setting up camp for five days, and the camps were impregnable. Yan Liang on the other side had not made any movement for several days, and seemed to be at a loss as to how to break through the natural dangers of Lushui.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, Zhu Rong was wiping the flying knife in his hand, with traces of murderous intent appearing and disappearing on his charming face.
Looking at the flying knife in his hand, Zhu Rong recalled the previous battle from time to time. She, who was said to have a flawless sword, actually deflected four consecutive shots from Yan Liang.
In that battle, Yan Liang not only deflected her flying knife, but also cut her clothes, exposing her skin and humiliating her face.
Thinking of this, Zhu Rong felt a fire of shame and anger in his chest, and his face also turned a little red.
Just as his thoughts were racing, footsteps sounded, bringing the cave master, Busy Tooth Chang and other barbarian generals, who strode in excitedly.
"Sister, what a good news." The cave owner shouted excitedly with his hands raised.
"What's the good news?" Zhu Rong's mind was lifted as his thoughts converged.
"Our detailed work has sent back the news. The Han dogs on the north bank really don't know that Lu River is dangerous. After hearing that they drank Lu River, most of the army sergeants have fallen ill." This brought happiness to the face of the cave owner.
disaster.
Zhu Rong was so excited that he jumped up. Although he was excited, Zhu Rong's face was a bit wary.
"Is this news absolutely true?" Zhu Rong asked.
At this time, the busy Ya said: "This news is absolutely reliable. The last general took the risk of sneaking across the north bank to investigate for himself. He saw with his own eyes that Yan Jun was carrying a large number of sick soldiers to the north overnight. If it is false, the Han dogs will
You can transport the sick in broad daylight, so there is no need to transport them secretly at night, for fear of being detected by our army."
Busty Ya's long words completely dispelled Zhu Rong's suspicion. The murderous intent on that charming face was burning like fire.
In Zhu Rong's heart, a revenge plan was quickly taking shape.
"Sister, most of the Han dogs have fallen ill, their morale must have dropped sharply, and their combat power has also been greatly weakened. Why don't we take this opportunity to cross the Lu River to the north to sneak attack on the enemy camp. Maybe we can defeat the Han in one fell swoop without waiting for the king's reinforcements to arrive.
The dogs killed them all."
Excitedly, he brought the cave master to him and expressed Zhu Rong’s thoughts first.
Zhu Rong was walking in the tent, playing with the flying knife in his hand and thinking excitedly.
"You dog thief surnamed Yan, you think you are invincible, but after all you are no match for the poison of my Nanzhong miasma. This can be considered as God wants to destroy you. Today I will kill you without leaving a trace, and I will retaliate against you on the same day.
Humiliate my hatred!”
In my heart, I have made up my mind.
Zhu Rong's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he immediately ordered: "How can we miss this God-given opportunity? Send the order and order all the armies to prepare separately. Tomorrow and night, all armies will sneak across the Lu River and follow me to wipe out the enemy camp in one fell swoop.
I will kill Yan Liang’s dog head with my own hands and present it to the king!”
"Yes, kill all the Han dogs!"
"Kill the man named Yan to avenge the dead brothers!"
In the military tent, these barbarian generals were all excited and shouting generously.
With murderous intent on his face, Zhu Rong walked to the tent door and looked at the dark opposite shore. A determined sneer appeared on his charming face.
Across the dark night, across the rolling Lu River, in the big tent on the north bank, there was also a person sneering.
Yan Liang was also polishing a flying knife, which was seized from Zhu Rong that day.
The knife was sharp, and Yan Liang stabbed it into the case fiercely.
"Zhu Rong, come on if you dare, I've already polished the guy and am just waiting to fuck you."
