Chapter 155 Mingyue Empire is expected to rejuvenate
Chapter 155: The revival of the Mingyue Empire is expected to be
Qingzhou, Beidi County.
The western legion was slowly advancing along the official road towards Heifeng Ridge. Meng Huze and Qi Diaozi and Jia Wudao went out to observe the terrain under the guards. When passing by a large river, they suddenly saw a steep mountain on the other side of the river. A waterfall seemed to pour down from the sky, plunging into the river. The scene was spectacular.
As soon as the people were tired from leaving, Meng Hu ordered the rest on the spot, then called Qi, Jia and the others to the front and asked, "What mountain is this?"
Qi Diaozi spread out the map on the bank of the river. After searching for a long time, he could not find the corresponding location. He could only smile bitterly and shook his head and said, "General, the location of this mountain cannot be found on this map, and even the river is not marked. It seems that the map provided by the Ministry of War is very reliable."
Meng Hu frowned and said, "Such a big river has not been marked out. I really don't know what the imperial intelligence department does for food?"
"Xilulu..."
As Meng Hu finished speaking, a loud neighing sound of horses suddenly shattered the tranquility by the river.
Meng Hu and Qi Diaozi, Jia Wudao turned around when he heard the sound. He saw Zhang Xingba holding Wu Yun Gaixue drinking horses by the river. But no matter how Zhang Xingba pressed the horse's head, Wu Yun Gaixue refused to drink the river water in the big river, while other mounts had already started to drink. These horses had already walked a long way to the mountain road and were already thirsty.
Meng Hu frowned and asked, "Xingba, what's going on?"
"I don't know either." Zhang Xingba scratched his head and smiled bitterly, "Wuyun Gaixue refused to drink water!"
"It's strange, why doesn't Wuyun Gaixue drink water?" Qi Diaozi said in confusion, "It has not been dripping from the beginning of the morning. It should have been thirsty. The river water is very cold. People will have diarrhea after drinking it, but it's okay if the horse drinks it. Why doesn't it drink it? Could it be that there is something wrong with the river water?"
"Uh, it hurts so much, my stomach hurts so much!"
As soon as Qi Diaozi finished speaking, a soldier from the Guard squatted on the ground with his stomach in his hands, his face full of pain.
Meng Hu, Qi Diaozi and Jia Wudao were shocked, thinking to themselves that there was something wrong with the river? Zhang Xingba even grabbed the soldier in two steps, reached out to help him up, and asked with concern: "Shitou, what's wrong with Shitou?"
"Sir, sir."
The guard named Shi Tou hissed and sucked the air conditioner and said in pain, "I, my stomach hurts so much, it hurts so much, like a knife is twisted in my stomach..."
Jia Wudao was proficient in medical principles and immediately stepped forward to take the pulse of Shi Tou to check the symptoms.
Meng Hu was also in awe of fear. When he turned around, he saw several soldiers by the river who were about to drink water. He immediately shouted: "No water is allowed!"
The soldiers were surprised and turned around and stared at Meng Hu blankly. Although they were still holding water in their palms, they didn't dare to drink it anymore.
In just a moment, Shi Tou was so painful that his whole body was sweating coldly. His eyes kept turning upwards, and foam began to spit out from the corners of his mouth. What's worse, after Shi Tou, more than a dozen guards squatted down with their stomachs covering their stomachs, and two of them were already rolling on the ground in pain.
It's not over yet. After the more than ten guards fell down, dozens of war horses who had just finished drinking water and were gnawing dead grass by the river suddenly lay down without warning, and then they lifted their limbs and twitched, and foamed at the mouth. Although Meng Hu didn't understand medical skills, he saw the symptoms of so many people and so many horses, he knew that it was food poisoning!
Jia Wudao quickly confirmed Meng Hu's speculation and stood up and said, "General, the symptoms are poisoning!"
Meng Hu looked at the dozen guards and dozens of war horses lying on the ground with a serious expression, and asked in a deep voice: "Is there any help?"
Jia Wudao shook his head with a sad expression and replied in a low voice: "It's no help, it's very toxic, it's already invading the heart."
"Stone, stone!"
"Er Dai, second brother!"
"Shantie, Shantie..."
As soon as Jia Wudao finished speaking, a heart-wrenching cry sounded by the river. In just a while, more than a dozen guard soldiers who had drunk the river water had already swallowed. Although the dozens of war horses had not yet died, the twitching of their limbs was becoming increasingly weak, and it was obviously helpless.
"What a toxicity!" Meng Hu said sternly, "Xingba!"
Zhang Xingba stepped forward with red eyes and replied, "Here!"
Meng Hu said in a deep voice: "Immediately condemn the fast horses to repay the team, and said that the nearby water sources should not be used at will, and it must be confirmed that they are not toxic before they can be drunk with confidence!"
"yes."
Zhang Xingba agreed and took the order.
Meng Hu turned back and said to Qi Diaozi, "Old Qi, mark this mountain and this river on the map, and indicate that the river water is highly toxic and cannot be drunk. As the saying goes, things in the world are unpredictable. Who knows if we have a chance to pass here again? If we pass here again and accidentally drink poisonous water and die, that would be too resentful."
The lacquer carving used a quill dipped ink with ink, carefully marked the words "Dog Mountain" and "Dog River" at the corresponding position of the map, and also used small words to indicate at the corner of the map: There is a poisonous river on the banks of the Poison Mountain, the water of the Poison River is extremely poisonous, and people and horses will die immediately when they drink!
The Jitian Mountains are located in the middle and eastern part of the Mingyue Empire, just between Qingzhou and Zhongzhou.
The Jitian Mountains connect to the Tianhe River in the south, and there is Hu Xiao Pass running through the east and west. The north side is almost connected to Nucang Mountain. Only a canyon is left between the two mountains. This canyon is the sword and sword gorge. The sword and sword gorge is the only way for the four northern prefectures of the Mingyue Empire to go south to Zhongzhou. It can be said to be a natural danger and is also a place that military strategists must fight for!
If Meng Hu's northern wing army wants to intercept reinforcements from the four northern prefectures of the Mingyue Empire, it must seize the sword gorge!
As long as the western legion can seize the sword gorge, it will be equivalent to cutting off the connection between the Zhongzhou and the four northern states of Mingyue Empire. The reinforcements from the four northern states and Zhongzhou, Qingzhou's Mingyue Empire's army will fall into an unfavorable situation of fighting each other. If the southern wing army of Chongshan cuts off the reinforcements from the three southern states of Mingyue Empire, the Mingyue Empire will really be destroyed.
However, if Meng Hu's northern wing army wants to seize the sword gorge, it must first seize the Black Wind Quest on the southern foot of Heifengling.
Heifeng Ridge is located at the intersection of the Jitian Mountains and the hilly areas of Beidijun. Although the mountain is not high, it is extremely steep. If Meng Hu's northern wing army wants to seize Daojian Gorge, it must pass Heifengkou. Of course, there are other ways to go from Qingzhou Beidi County to Daojian Gorge, but then you have to go north to Bingzhou, then go west to Yunzhou, and then go south to Daojian Gorge from Yunzhou. In this way, the distance of march alone will be more than a thousand miles.
The car is shaking, and the horse is roaring.
On the official road of Hu Xiao Pass to Daojian Gorge, 150,000 Mingyue Imperial Army was rumbling northward. These 150,000 Mingyue Imperial Army were naturally Qiu Yutang's Imperial Guard Corps, and two Yunzhou Divisions accompanied.
Qiu Yutang's luxurious horse carriage was sandwiched between the army. In the wide carriage, Qiu Yutang's beautiful eyes were blurred and leaning against the brocade mat. I don't know what he was thinking. Qiu Yiru and Qiu Hanyun were gently pounding her legs. Qiu Ye, the thirteen-year-old Prince Mingyue, held a charcoal pen in his hand and worked on the map.
Compared to the crude map in Meng Hu's hand, the map in front of Qiuye looks much more exquisite.
On this map, there are several arrows marked by red and blue charcoal pens. Three huge blue arrows start from Kawahara City on the border of the empire, pointing to Lieliu City in the northern part of Qingzhou, Huxiao Pass in the western part of Qingzhou, and Chicheng in the southeast of Qingzhou. Among them, the blue arrow pointing to Lieliu City is followed by an arrow, which points from Lieliu City to Black Wind.
However, around Heifengkou and Lieliu City, four huge red arrows appeared. The first red arrow came out of Huxiao Pass and then turned north, pointing directly to Lieliu City. The first red arrow came south from Bingzhou and also pointed to Lieliu City. The third red arrow came south from Yunzhou and went south, and the fourth red arrow came south from Dingzhou, all pointing to Heifengkou. The last largest red arrow came out of Huxiao Pass and went west, and pointed to Daojian Gorge.
After drawing the red and blue arrows, Qiuye drew a big red fork at the black wind vent, then turned around and said to Qiu Yutang: "Auntie, Ye'er has marked your tiger hunting plan."
"Oh?" Qiu Yutang sat up and said happily, "Take the princess and take a look."
Qiuye reached out to pick up the marked map and handed it respectfully to Qiu Yutang. Qiu Yutang reached out to take the map. After only one look, he felt a soreness in his heart. Two lines of clear tears came out of his beautiful eyes. Qiuye saw Qiu Yutang suddenly crying, and asked in panic: "Auntie, is Ye'er's map homework wrong?"
"No, no." Qiu Yutang reached out to wipe away the tears from her pretty face and said happily, "Wild's map homework is very good."
Qiuye asked with his little head, "Why are you crying, the princess?"
"I am happy, my aunt." Qiu Yutang chuckled, "Ye'er, you have such military talents at such a young age. In the future, you will definitely become the greatest emperor in the history of the empire. The revival of the Mingyue Empire is expected to be."
Qiuye blinked his big black eyes and asked again: "My aunt, do you want Governor Yao Chang to enter Heifengkou to use them as bait to lure Meng Hu's northern wing division into the hub?"
Qiu Yutang did not answer immediately, but asked, "Why do you think so?"
