Chapter 475 Zhuge Liang pursues Meng Huo

Under the harassment of the suicide attack of barbarian warriors, the distance between Zhuge Liang's army and Meng Huo's main force is getting farther and farther. When fighting in the mountains, the cavalry did not have any advantages, but dragged down the speed of the main force. Therefore, according to the change of the combat environment, Zhuge Liang ordered the cavalry to withdraw from the territory of the barbarian tribe and return to the junction of the barbarian territory and the Han territory. Nearly ten thousand cavalry also had a task. Zhuge Liang told them that they were in Luo A camp was built in Panshui Valley, and a road between the compass water camp and Mianzhu Pass was built at the same time.

After

, Zhuge Liang led nearly 10,000 Jingzhou soldiers and thousands of Yizhou soldiers to continue to chase the fleeing Meng Huo. When Zhuge Liang lost all the information of Meng Huo, he could only go to the base of the Yi nationality in the direction.

After the army entered Liangshan, on the way to march, Zhuge Liang's side encountered trouble: according to the previous map, the Yizhou soldiers and soldiers could not find the mountain road to continue to move forward. It was originally the valley marked on the map. At this time, it was either a lake or a ridge, and the new mountain road was not marked on the map. Even the natives of Yizhou do not know where the new mountain road leads...

As a result, Zhuge Liang's side fell into a dilemma: move forward, you can't find Meng Huo's nest, retreat, and abandon the good fighter - at this time, Meng Huo and Mrs. Zhu Rong were seriously injured (at that time, if it hadn't been for Zhuge Liang's deliberate instructions, the veteran Huang Zhong would have shot the two of them to death), and the couple Tens of thousands of troops led by him have been dispersed. Once he successfully reaches the base of the Yi people, as long as Zhuge Liang plans a little, he can be captured by Meng Huo! Zhuge Liang is very sure about this.

The problems encountered by the leading army are not a problem at all in Zhuge Liang's eyes, because he has the latest topographic map of Yizhou. But for fear of leaking secrets, Zhuge Liang has been patient. It was not until thousands of Yizhou soldiers lost half that Zhuge Liang personally commanded the army's march.

However, when Zhuge Liang set up a new path and ordered the army to follow the new road that was not marked on the old map, he was resisted by the generals of Yizhou. Especially the boycott of Liu Zhang's cousin Liu Ping.

All the way, Liu Ping, the general of Sipin, watched his generals fall under the machetes and arrows of the barbarian warriors one by one. Coupled with the original road, Liu Ping has always been very depressed. When Zhuge Liang pointed out the new march route to them, Liu Ping roared angrily, "Zhuge Liang, you haven't been to Liangshan. What qualifications do you have to point fingers at Ben? ..."

After Zhuge Liang's calm-faced Deng Liu Ping vented, he explained slowly, "General Liu, you're right. Liang has never lived here, but Liang can ask a new route from the prisoner, right? ..."

When Liu Ping heard the words, he immediately retorted and said, "Zhuge Liang, who do you think you are? Can you ask the route of the traveling army from the barbarian prisoners? If you can pry open the mouth of the barbarian prisoners, it's your turn..."

Along the way, Liu Ping also tried to ask the way to the Yi nest from the barbarian prisoners, but those prisoners kept their mouths shut. They didn't answer even if Liu Ping tore their mouths. This is the loyalty of barbarian warriors. Even if they are barbaric, this barbarism is directly proportional to their excellent quality.

Liao Hua, who was beside him, stopped Liu Ping and said, "General Liu, what you can't do doesn't mean that Zhuge Junshi can't do it..."

The angry Liu Ping ignored the difference between his strength and Liao Hua. He pointed to Liao Hua and scolded, "What are you? Is a five-grade general also qualified to talk to Ben? ..."

When Liao Hua heard Liu Ping's roar and scolding, he wanted to draw a knife to kill him. Zhuge Liang stretched out his feather fan to stop the angry Liao Hua, and then he looked at Liu Ping without a wave. Zhuge Liang's calmness brought a kind of pressure to Liu Ping to rest. At this time, Liu Ping was excited, and he remembered that the object of his scolding was a super fierce general.

Zhuge Liang felt Liu Ping's emotional change, so he said in a low voice, "General Liu, Liang can assure you with his head: as long as he follows the marching route pointed out by Liang, he can successfully reach the lair of the traitor Meng Huo in less than three days... General Liu, do you think it is necessary for Liang to deceive you?"

The more Liu Ping thinks about it, the more he can't figure it out: the marching route planned by Zhuge Liang will cross a steep mountain halfway and cross a river with rapid water... This is not a marching route, it's simply a dead end. But Zhuge Liang in front of him was so confident.

In the end, Liu Ping, who had no better choice, could only follow Zhuge Liang's order and continue on the new route. A day later, the steep mountains that Liu Ping thought he had to pass did not appear, and even the turbulary rivers disappeared out of thin air. There are only weeds and bushy valleys...

On the new route, Liu Ping and Liao Hua did not encounter the harassment of barbarian soldiers all the way. The terrain is open, and the barbarian soldiers have no way to hide. This phenomenon made Liu Ping suspicious: He knew that there were many mountain floods and mudslides in the mountainous area of Yizhou in summer, and occasional earthquakes could also change the geographical appearance. Under this powerful power of nature, the original high mountains could be turned into valleys, and the original rivers could be diverted, but how did Zhuge Liang, who had never been to Liangshan, know? Question mark ...Ask from the prisoner's mouth? Liu Ping didn't believe that Liu Ping killed him. That was obviously Zhuge Liang's excuse to hide the truth! Because there was no ambush of the Yi people along the way, this situation shows that even the indigenous Yi people did not know this new channel. This new channel connects the nest of the Yi people with the place where Zhuge Liang gave orders.

So Liu Ping couldn't resist his inner doubts and communicated with the deputy generals around him in a low voice. Even if he was very careful, he still ignored the keen hearing of the super general. The whispers between him and the deputy general were heard clearly by Liao Hua, who was attentive.

When Liao Hua heard that Liu Ping actually suspected the latest map of Zhuge Liang's beneficial state, Liao Hua thought to himself: Liu Ping, Liu Ping, even if you are old and cunning and scolded me, I don't care about you, but now, hey hey... It's not that I'm going to have the intention to fight with you. Who knows too much that you shouldn't know. The secret...

Before departure, Zhuge Liang told Liao Hua with a wink: If Liu Ping can think of the new map of Yizhou, Liao Hua can find an opportunity to kill Liu Ping...

Who knows, the cunning Liu Ping can analyze what Zhuge Liang said based on experience and reality: it seems to be the truth, but it is actually a lie. Inquired from the prisoner's mouth? This mouth can only deceive ordinary people who have no common sense. It is impossible to deceive Liu Ping, the old fox...

So, Zhuge Liang, who is so calculating, can also think of this in advance, so he gave Liao Hua a secret order with a wink: If Liu Ping is alert, he will look for a machine to kill him! It's so easy to kill a person on the battlefield, especially in the mountains.

Two days later, Liao Hua and Liu Ping led thousands of vanguard troops to a mountain forest. This mountain forest is the only way for the vanguard troops. The crown of each tree in the mountain forest covers a range of tens of meters, and its trunk is as thick as that of at least five people. Liu Ping and Liao Hua stood halfway up the mountain and observed at a distance of hundreds of meters: the mountains and forests under the sun looked dark, and the center rose with lingering smoke... Looking at the mountains and forests that could not be seen at a glance, Liu Ping, Liao Hua and others had a feeling of chaotic seasons: this is not spring, this is obviously the summer with lush trees, flowers and plants. Ji.

Without Liu Ping's explanation, Liao Hua also knows that the rising smoke in the center of the dense mountain forest is miasma. The miasma is a kind of poisonous gas, which is unique to tropical forests. This kind of miasma can make birds and beasts avoid it far away, and ordinary people can enter it. If there are no comprehensive preventive measures, they can only stand and enter on the spot.

Zhuge Liang led his troops into the territory of the barbarian tribes to fight. He knew a lot of common sense of activities in the tropical jungle. Therefore, before the army set out, he asked every soldier to carry all kinds of antidotes with him: anti-miasma poison, snake poison, anti-heat poison...

When Liu Ping and Liao Hua ordered the soldiers to take the antidote, they rushed into the dense mountain forest first. Because every tree is huge, each tree has to occupy a lot of resources, so there are no small trees around each tree, even the bushes are only knee high, and the grass only floods the ankles. There is a large space between each big tree, enough for five people to walk side by side.

Entering the depths of the mountain forest, the huge canopy covers the sun, and there is only silence and darkness in the depths of the mountain forest. The sudden thought of the roar of birds and beasts can make people startling. Liu Ping is well aware that this place is only a hundred miles away from the nest of the Yi people. If it is normal and the Yi people know this new road to the outside world, they will definitely be full of traps and obstacles on this new road, and send secret sentries to station in hidden places...

Just because there are no traps, obstacles and secret whistles, Liu Ping is more sure that this is a new channel leading to the nest of the Yi people, which is not even found by the Yi people themselves.

Liu Pingyue doubted Zhuge Liang's previous remarks, and the closer he was to death. This is a fact that Liu Ping didn't think of. After all, he has a prominent status and is also a royal relative.

After successfully passing through the mountains and forests full of miasma, Liu Ping and Liao Hua led the vanguard army to a cliff. Standing on the cliff, with the help of the bright afternoon sun, they can see the nest of the Yi people at a glance: under the cliff, there is a continuous hilly landform, and the hills are connected terraces. Some Yi people who cultivate in the terraces are like ants.

The vast terraces have different rules, colorful, undulating, like waves. It is precisely because of this cliff, because of the primitive forest on the cliff that the Yi people ignored the precautions here and regarded them as the safest protection... But in the vicissitudes of life, the Yi people never thought that the most reliable barrier in the past has now become their empty door, defense. Protect the weakest side!

The dozens of meters high cliff, in front of the well-prepared Yizhou army, is not worth mentioning at all: Liu Ping led the soldiers along the pre-prepared ropes and quickly slipped to the bottom of the cliff, and Liao Hua relied on the light technique of the innate realm to arrive earlier...
