Chapter 408: Liu Guanzhangs plan is blocked, Sun Bofu rides the wind and waves(1/2)

In the Yunnan rainforest in October, the fog is thick and the humidity is heavy, making it easy for people to lose their way there.

Even if you don't lose your way, there will be all kinds of dangers. There are countless snakes, insects, rats, ants, birds and beasts.

Such as now.

The Qinglong Yanyue Sword in Guan Yu's hand slashed forward with force, dividing a huge python with thick thighs into several sections, and also rescued a soldier who was blue in the face and foaming at the mouth from the snake entanglement.

"Quickly, drag him out and treat him."

"It was too late, the ribs pierced the chest and abdomen, the internal bleeding was severe, and it was impossible to save her."

Guan Yu looked ugly and said solemnly to the captain: "Cremate him and take his ashes back to his family."

The captain sighed heavily, stretched out his hand to close the soldier's eyes, and nodded feebly.

In the past few days, as they continued to penetrate deeper into the rainforest and mountains, the dangers encountered by the soldiers were also increasing day by day.

In just a few days, the number of casualties reached more than 300. If they continued like this, they would not be able to reach their destination, and their large army of 5,000 people would be completely annihilated.

Putting aside the venomous snakes and beasts, the harm caused by poisonous miasma and dysentery to the army was the one that they felt helpless to do anything about.

The soldiers didn't know it at first, but after drinking the stagnant water in the ravine, they suffered from diarrhea and vomiting, and abdominal pain like a knife. In just three days, hundreds of people died.

In the next few days, we encountered many unknown dangers one after another. Some people died after eating mushrooms, some went crazy after inhaling a little pollen, and some died from insect bites and skin ulcers... There were all kinds of strange ways of death.

And different from them.

The Qianlongshan Army who came to the front to clear the way did not suffer any casualties. The comparison between the two naturally aroused dissatisfaction among many people.

"General, if we continue like this, we won't even be able to cross this mountain, let alone cross the border of Jiaozhou. We should ask the people of the Longshan Army, especially for that magical plaster. If every soldier can be equipped with one,

vice……"

"Stop talking, we can't buy those plasters easily. You were also present yesterday, and the third brother of a certain Na said it himself, a bottle of insect repellent water costs 500 yuan, and that's not counting other things. If you count the whole set

If you come down here, you can get three or four thousand coins, and this is the price of a pair." Guan Yu sighed and said.

The captain looked at Guan Yu's waist and cursed in his heart: It is said to be valuable, but you are worthy of it.

Guan Yu looked at the soldiers around him nonchalantly, and saw that they all looked dejected, and felt very annoyed in his heart.

"Let everyone pay attention. There are countless poisonous insects and ferocious beasts in this forest. Don't get caught again."

"yes."

After Guan Yu finished his instructions, he picked up his sword, got on his horse, and rode away.

Wait until he goes away.

Several men gathered together.

A man said angrily: "Brother, we can't survive this life. When we joined Uncle Liu, it was because Uncle Liu was kind-hearted and treated us as human beings, but his brother was not. This man didn't treat us at all."

His life and death are at heart."

"The boy from the Qin family is right. There is something wrong with the way Guan Yunchang looks at us. He is just like those masters from aristocratic families. From the bottom of his heart, he looks down on us idiots."

"That's right, if Uncle Liu Huang was here, how could my third son die of illness? That man obviously had the medicine, but he didn't give it to me. Wow, oh, pity, my third son is only fourteen years old."

The leading man, who was also the captain of the 500-man team, looked terrifyingly gloomy at this time.

The complaints and accusations from several fellow villagers and subordinates made him feel angry and at the same time he began to lose hope in going south this time.

at the same time.

The officers and soldiers of the Longshan Army who walked to the front were tasting the delicious Dragon and Phoenix Soup.

The Longshan Army is no longer what it used to be. There are not only specialized military doctors in the army, but also chefs who are good at identifying herbal medicines and cooking medicinal meals.

While Liu Bei's militia troops were still worried about mosquito poisoning, they had already started attacking wild animals.

If the Longshan Army hadn't killed many wild beasts and poisonous snakes while opening the way in front, the casualties of those behind would have been even more serious.

"Yide, I heard that many people died later. I think if this continues, by the time we pass Jiaozhou, there won't be many left of them." A middle-aged man said while holding a bowl and eating.

.

Zhang Fei frowned. The situation on Guan Yu's side was not optimistic. He also received a lot of news here.

But he was helpless in this regard. He couldn't let the soldiers of the Longshan Army contribute their life-saving supplies.

There is no such truth!

But if the people on the second brother's side continue to die like this, it will be just as troublesome. Don't attack the city by yourself in the front, and there won't even be anyone stationed behind. It won't be in vain.

Zhang Fei only brought his Qianlongshan Army with him when he went south this time. He couldn't conquer the city by himself, so he should send people to defend it.

"Alas, the soldiers on Second Brother's side are all ordinary civilians and have not received special training. In such barren mountains and wild mountains, I am afraid they are not as good as ordinary hunters. This time we miscalculated and we should not have come this time.

"

Several squad leaders looked at each other.

The middle-aged man who spoke before said: "You can't say that. After more than half a month of long journey, our people have grown a lot. We still have to cross Jiaozhou. Brothers, we can point to this meritorious service."

.”

Zhang Fei smiled bitterly.

He is not worried about the Longshan Army, but mainly about Guan Yu. If he continues to die like this, how will the land he conquered be distributed?

If the previous 73% split was still followed, the brothers of the Longshan Army would definitely be dissatisfied.

But if he doesn't follow the previous division, he doesn't know how to deal with his eldest brother and second brother.

Zhang Fei really had a headache and really regretted taking this trip.

"Well, I heard that the Hupo Army went north to support Youzhou. I'm afraid they have already reached Wuhuan's lair at this time, but we are still wandering here, and we can't even get out of this mountain."

Zhang Fei took a sip of the hot soup and felt very uncomfortable.

However, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't know that they were not the only ones interested in the area south of Jiaozhou.

The view is elevated, overlooking the dark green virgin rainforest, and heading east, you can see the endless blue sea.

Flocks of seagulls forage for food on the sea, targeting a group of fish floating on the surface to eat plankton.

Go east, keep going east.

An island also covered with primitive and dense jungle appeared in view.

To the northeast of the island, dozens of sailboats docked offshore, and then people came ashore on bamboo rafts.

Huang Xu stood on a rock, with his hands open, breathing in the humid air that was completely different from the Central Plains.

"Oh, is this the island? It's so spectacular!"

"Hahaha, Brother Huang seems to like life at the beach very much."

Sun Ce came over with a few fresh coconuts, split them open with a dagger, and handed one to Huang Xu, "Here, taste the juice inside, it's very sweet."

Huang Xu had never seen a coconut before, so he took it curiously and looked at it, then imitated Sun Ce and poured it directly into his mouth.

"It tastes good."

"Mmm, it tastes good."

Huang Xu didn't feel satisfied after drinking one, so he learned to open another one himself. Unfortunately, his method was crude and he opened the scoop directly, and all the coconut juice leaked out.

When Sun Ce and others saw this, they burst out laughing.

"Come here, bring a big bowl."

Not far away, the men of Longxiwei ran into the sea to play and play. They were all unfamiliar with but loved the sea.

It's obviously late autumn now, but not only is this place not cold, it's also very warm, which is great.

"Bo Fu, Brother Huang, come and try these fruits. You must have never seen them before."

Zhou Yu came out of the woods with a few guards. He had a banana in his hand and ate it with gusto.

Huang Xu and Sun Ce smiled at each other and stepped forward to greet them.

"Hey, I've seen this thing in the young master's study. It seems to be called pomegranate. It's very sour."

"This looks so strange, how do you eat it?"

Huang Xu picked up a pineapple and asked Zhou Yu who was standing aside.

Zhou Yu chuckled and said, "Use a knife to remove the skin and eat the pulp inside."

Sun Ce was even more direct. He picked up a knife and cut the glass into four parts, saying, "You can just eat it like this."

Huang Xu took a bite, was stunned, and exclaimed: "Isn't this just a pineapple? You can also find it at the young master's place. I have eaten it once."

"Oh!" Zhou Yu and Sun Ce looked at each other. They didn't expect Wei Cheng to be able to get even the fruits on the island. It was simply unbelievable.

That night.

A group of people set up a tent directly on the beach.

There were bonfires, grilled fish, and piles of all kinds of sweet and delicious fruits. Everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
