Chapter 10: The Storm and Clouds of Xiangxi (2)

"General Zuo, General Zuo has no orders from outside the king. The Miao Barbarians rebelled and killed our court. It is a great rebellion. The general led a large army to suppress the rebellion. Even the general cannot blame you in the future!" Cao Hu was determined to fight and kept persuading Zuo Liangyu's ear.

"Military orders are like a mountain, how can I not obey?" Zuo Liangyu said.

"The commander issued this military order, and the bid was to be in a hope of being at peace with the Miao people for the time being. In fact, when the army captured the entire Huguang, the commander would have another way. Moreover, it was not that our army was proposing trouble first, but the Miao barbarians killed our soldiers. Should we just swallow our anger?" Cao Hu said passionately.

"Cao Hu, you are a small thousand householder who is trying to figure out the intentions of the Grand Marshal. Think about why the Grand Marshal suddenly issued this military order to me. Don't you find it strange? The Grand Marshal has always been rigorous in using troops and often expects the enemy to be the first. If there is this military order, I will tell you before leaving. How could I send someone to issue it halfway? I have been following the Grand Marshal for a long time, and I know more than you. Do you still need to teach me?" Zuo Liangyu scolded Cao Hu fiercely.

"I am aware of the crime, please punish me!" Cao Hu was sweating profusely and hurriedly knelt down to apologize.

"If it weren't for your contribution to the general's saddle along the way, I would have to hit you at least twenty military sticks today, get up, get out and go to bed!" Zuo Liangyu kicked Cao Hu and staggered to the ground, got up quickly, and ran out.

The problem was solved if Cao Hu was kicked away. If no one was released tomorrow, Wu Heimiao would meet with him. The general was able to pass the opportunity. The problem was that the court suddenly sent a Miao minister. What the court wanted to do? Zuo Liangyu was confused and couldn't figure out the truth.

"Here's someone coming, General Zheng invites us to our general's tent."

"Report to General Zuo, General Zheng has already fallen asleep!" Immediately, a personal soldier came from outside the tent and reported.

"Did you go to bed?" Zuo Liangyu then saw that most of the hourglass in the camp had leaked. He thought that midnight had passed, so he waved his personal soldiers on the night and asked him to retreat: "Forget it, go to your night."

Let people go, don’t let people go? Two different voices jumped out in Zuo Liangyu’s mind, disrupting his already chaotic thinking, which is really a headache.

Suddenly, a strange wind blew up the curtain of the camp, and a faint light smoke floated into Zuo Liangyu's tent. After years of military career, Zuo Liangyu's vigilance was much more alert than that of ordinary soldiers. When he inhaled a little of this strange cigarette from his nose, he immediately became alert and found that something was wrong. There were mostly men in the military camp, so how could there be such a sweet fragrance?

But Zuo Liangyu was born in the military and was not very familiar with the tricks of the world. How could he know that this sweet fragrance is the best "Mengluoyan" known as the Jianghu. Originally, this kind of smoke should be the most colorless and tasteless, but this "Mengluoyan" is the opposite. His sweetness and fragrance are well-known, but its effect is the best in the world, because no matter how powerful it is, it will be useless. His whole body is as soft as mud, but the inhaler is clear-headed and is the top equipment for a flower-picking thief.

However, the "Mengluoyan" in Zuo Liangyu is different because there is an extra thing inside, a poison that only Miao people can make - Jiupo, a poison that is basically equivalent to "Mengluoyan". Mengluoyan is only temporary, and this Jiupoyan is indeed permanent.

Zuo Liangyu was surprised and soon found that his arms could not be lifted up. He wanted to stand up, but he also found that his legs were out of control.

"Come here!" Zuo Liangyu was shocked and wanted to open her mouth to call someone, but found that she could not even move her tongue. The sound broke when it reached her throat.

"What's going on?" Zuo Liangyu was extremely panicked. The sudden change also made him, the leader general who was calm in the face of change, feel extremely frightened. His body could not control himself and collapsed on the chair. Only a pair of eyes could be turned, looking at the candles that were constantly beating on the table, the atmosphere was strange.

"General Zuo, General Zuo!" Let Cao Hu shake Zuo Liangyu, except for those eyes that clearly tell everyone that others are still alive, there is no other reaction.

Zheng Nansheng, who was rushed to call by Cao Hu, was really shocked to see Zuo Liangyu's situation. He was alone, but after a night, how could he become like this?

The military doctor who followed Zheng Nansheng to Zuo Liangyu's tent, and Zuo Liangyu immediately became diagnosed. After a long time, the military doctor shook his head and sighed and stood up, "General Zheng, the villain has been a military doctor in the army for more than 20 years, but he has never seen a disease like General Zuo. General Zuo's eyes were clear, not like a stroke, but his symptoms were only like this."

"Stroke?" Zheng Nansheng's face turned pale. Zuo Liangyu didn't have a stroke early or late. But at this time, he had a stroke clearly put the blame on him. Whether it was true or false, he had nothing to do during this trip. Damn, Zuo Liangyu, you're having a great time!

"It's definitely not a stroke. General Zuo is young, how could he have a stroke?" Cao Hu didn't believe Doctor Sui Jun's diagnosis at all and said loudly.

"Acting, you are definitely acting. Cao Hu, I never thought you would do this!" Zheng Nansheng was so angry that he was expressionless, but he could no longer sneer in his heart.

"The villain doesn't know, the villain doesn't know!" The doctor of Suijun subconsciously looked back at the door of the camp, shrank timidly and said submissively.

"You don't know, how did you become a doctor!" Cao Huhuo came up and grabbed the doctor Suijun and shouted loudly.

"Mr. Cao Qian, you are too presumptuous. This is a military camp, not a parody, and you are not a mountain king!" Zheng Nansheng couldn't stand it anymore and stopped Cao Hu and said.

Cao Hu slowly let go of the collar of the Doctor Suijun, glanced at Zheng Nansheng angrily, and then stepped aside.

Zheng Nansheng said to the military doctor: "You go out and prescribe a prescription first. Whether it works, how many doses of medicine will be given to General Zuo first!"

The doctor in the army was as if he had been amnesty. He hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, shook his old arm away, and in the blink of an eye, he left Zuo Liangyu's tent.

Zheng Nansheng rubbed his temples with a headache. How did he write a memorial to the court about this? Wu Heimiao’s five-day deadline arrived at noon today. Why did such a thing happen? Now everything is pushed to his head. I originally wanted to see how Zuo Liangyu deal with it. Now it's better, the shit basin is on his head. If I had known it, I would have asked Zuo Liangyu to send someone to contact Mr. Ma earlier, it would be too late now.

"Transfer my military orders and release them!" Zheng Nansheng thought for a while. No matter how he didn't like these Miao Manzi in his heart, he would never be a villain.

"No, you must not let anyone go!" Cao Hu opposed loudly.

"Now General Zuo has a stroke and cannot speak. I am the deputy commander of this army. If I say I am letting go, I will release him. Mr. Cao Qian, do you dare to disobey the military order?" Zheng Nansheng glared at Cao Hu coldly and said.

"Deputy General Zheng, you should know that those Miao Manzi still refuse to hand over the murderers who killed my soldiers. You just let them go. Will my brothers die in vain?" Cao Hu asked Zheng Nansheng loudly.

"Mr. Cao Qian, please pay attention to your identity when you speak. What kind of thing are you, and you dare to speak to me like this!" Zheng Nansheng hated Cao Hu to the core, and he always contradicted him. Taking advantage of Zuo Liangyu's inability to speak, he would not call him Zheng Nansheng!

"Zheng Nansheng, you dare to scold me for being a good person!" Cao Hu's anger surged, and it was on the verge of being unable to control it.

"What, Cao Hu, do you want to attack me?" Zheng Nansheng looked at Cao Hu contemptuously, and his left hand had quietly put on the scabbard. He knew Cao Hu's temperament and went crazy. He was not afraid of anyone. Only Zuo Liangyu could conquer him. This kid had good martial arts skills, so he had to beware of him suddenly attacking him.

"Report—"

"General Zheng, General Cao Qian, and the Miao people have sneak attacked, and have rescued most of the Miao people who are detained by me!"

"What!" Zheng Nansheng and Mr. Cao Qian said in unison.

"Wu Heimiao robbed our food and grass, and then pretended to be our army to escort the food and grass into the camp. Our army was not bad. The disguised Miao people took advantage of the loopholes and kidnapped most of the captured Miao people by them!"

"This is impossible. The two thousand elite soldiers who escorted the food and grass were not made of paper. Most of Wu Heimiao's men were wooden guns and sticks. If they wanted to eat my two thousand elite soldiers, at least ten thousand people would have to be sent. Under the surveillance of our scouts, how could he send 10,000 people to rob our army's food and grass? And the army that escorted the food and grass could not escape back?" Zheng Nansheng was experienced after all, and he discovered something extremely unreasonable at first sight.

In a hurry, since the Miao people were wearing their own military uniforms and armor and their weapons, it was difficult to distinguish the enemy. The Miao people were able to successfully rescue the detained chieftains and tribe members, then rushed out of the camp and fled westward. Cao Hu brought his troops to chase them, but after saving the people, they scattered and scattered from all directions. Cao Hu didn't know which way to chase them. The Miao people were familiar with the terrain. This was a deep mountain and a natural battlefield for the Miao people. Almost none of the soldiers chasing the mountains survived and suffered heavy losses. Apart from the entire army's escort team, nearly a thousand people were killed or injured in the Miao people's stolen camp, and the morale of the army suddenly became depressed.

Cao Hu was also ruined by the Miao people's elusive fighting style and retreated angrily.
