Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

Meng Huo withdrew from the edge of the Lushui River. According to Meng You's guidance, he led his army to the Tulong Cave, which was the territory of King Duosi, to avoid Zhuge Jin who was about to capture him again, and decided to stand in a stalemate with Zhuge Liang.

When Dosi learned that Meng Huo was coming, she came out to greet him warmly. Then they went to her residence together and asked about the war with Shu.

Meng Huo could only tell about his confrontation with Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang's abomination.

"General Meng stays with me at ease. If Zhuge Liang dares to chase after him, I guarantee that they will be wiped out, and even Zhuge Liang will die here." Dosi said confidently.

"Cave Master Dosi, what's your plan?" Meng Huo was overjoyed.

What he was afraid of was Zhuge Liang. If there was no Zhuge Liang in Shu, he might even go to the middle of Shu and occupy Liu Bei's territory.

Duo Si smiled and said: "To our Tulong Cave, there are two roads to go, the east one is the road that General Meng and you have passed. The land there is flat, the soil is thick and the water is sweet, and people and horses can do it. If we block it with wood and stone This way, if you arrange ambushes to intercept and kill them, no matter how many Zhuge Liang has, they will not be able to enter."

Meng Huo thought for a while, and then said: "But there is another way to the Tulong Cave. If Zhuge Liang wants to detour, he can also come here."

Dosi laughed and said: "General, you can rest assured. The other road is in the northwest, with dangerous mountains and narrow roads. Although there are small roads, there are many poisonous snakes and scorpions. At dusk, there is a lot of smoke and miasma. , It will be received at noon, and only at Wei, Shen, and You, you can come and go."

The road to the northwest, sounds like it's definitely going to be a dead end.

Meng Huo asked in surprise, "Really?"

"I can't lie to General Meng, it's more than that!"

Duosi continued: "On the road, there are four poisonous springs, namely Yaquan, Miequan, Heiquan and Rouquan. The spring water is poisonous. Ordinary people will die if they touch it casually. There are few people here. For so many years, Only General Fubo, who used to be a big man, can get here."

The General Fubo he was talking about was Ma Yuan, who came here because he pacified the barbarians.

Meng Huo said with great joy: "Even if Zhuge Liang has millions of troops, as long as the road in the east cannot pass, they must take the road in the northwest. If they encounter miasma, or poisonous insects, and finally encounter poisonous springs, they must will be wiped out."

Dosi nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, General Meng stays here with peace of mind, and when Zhuge Liang is at the end of his life, that's when he will die."

Meng Huo laughed and said, "Thank you Cave Master Duosi."

Dosi waved his hand: "Shu invaded south and attacked our Nanzhong. As the people of Nanzhong, we should join hands to resist. General Meng took the lead and led the troops to resist the enemy. He has worked hard and made great achievements. He is a hero of our Nanzhong. I should have this way."

Hearing that he also praised himself as the hero of Nanzhong, Meng Huo was overjoyed. At the same time, he felt relieved. He felt that if he stayed here, he only needed to wait, and Zhuge Liang could be exhausted here.

"Without Cave Master Duo Si, we two brothers would have nowhere to go. When I destroy the Kingdom of Shu, I will definitely not treat Cave Master badly." Meng Huo said gratefully again.

"General Meng, you are welcome!"

Duosi was also very generous, and said loudly: "Come here, let's host a banquet for General Meng."

While they were having a happy feast, they immediately ordered people to completely block the east road to Tulong Cave.

a few days later.

Zhuge Liang's army, chasing Meng Huo and others, came to the east road and was about to pass here.

"Military division, the road ahead is blocked with wood and stones, and we cannot move forward."

Ma Di came back and said: "Meng Huo must have done this on purpose. The Tulong Cave is in front of him. As long as he escapes into it and blocks the road, we can't move forward, so he can get temporary safety."

Zhuge Liang went to the front army to have a look, and said: "Dig out these woods and stones, and move on."

"Military division, it is too time-consuming to dig out the wood and stone."

Jiang Wan said: "Our scouts found out that there is still a road leading to the Tulong Cave in the northwest, but most of it is a mountain road. Although it is relatively steep, I think there is no need to delay here."

Ma Liang shook his head and said: "The road to the northwest is steep and difficult to walk. Meng Huo chose to block this place, maybe he would set up an ambush there. As long as we go, we will fall into the ambush. This is not feasible."

Zhuge Liang said: "Dig here first."

He also believed that there was no need to venture to the Northwest.

Ever since, they camped on the spot and started digging.

However, just as the Shu army was about to make a move, a group of soldiers who were ambushing here at Nanzhong and Tulong Cave came out just right and killed all the Shu troops who were about to dig.

Immediately someone reported to Zhuge Liang, and after hearing this, he asked someone to cover him and continued to dig the road.

However, the soldiers on the Nanzhong side occupied an absolutely favorable position, and they suppressed the Shu army completely, and there was no way to do anything. After two days, there was no progress at all.

Jiang Wan said: "Military Master, we can only take the northwest route."

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhuge Liang couldn't attack the ambush enemies, so he had to order to go northwest, taking that very dangerous road.

After a while, they came to the northwest passage. Although it was steep, it was not dangerous to walk a short distance to a flat place.

There was no ambush along the way, so Zhuge Liang was relieved.

The weather in Nanzhong is still hot and unbearable. After driving for almost a day, they are sweating profusely, and the water loss from their bodies is even more serious.

When they reached a flat place, Zhuge Liang ordered to stay and rest, and then found a spring nearby, and he couldn't wait to drink water.

"Ah...ah..."

Some soldiers who drank the spring water found that they could not speak, and could only yell anxiously.

This spring is what Duosi called the dumb spring. Its water is so sweet that if a person drinks it, he cannot speak. In less than half an hour, he will die.

The news that you can't speak after drinking the spring water spread throughout the army in an instant. More than 1000 people have already drank the water. Drink water.

Zhuge Liang also got the news, walked over to have a look, and immediately said: "This is a poisonous spring, the spring water is poisonous, you must not drink it."

Hearing that it was poisonous, everyone first exclaimed.

Then, all the people who drank the spring water fell down one by one within half an hour and died directly.

That kind of panic is spreading more powerfully at this time, and the unknown terror is the easiest to torture people's hearts.

"Ah, something bit me!"

A soldier suddenly let out an exclamation.
