Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

"Those four springs are all poisonous springs. They are called Yaquan, Miequan, Heiquan and Rouquan respectively. The spring water is poisonous. Even if an ordinary person touches a drop of water, they will die without life."

Meng Jie continued: "If my guess is correct, the soldiers under Zhuge's army division should have drunk the water from one of the springs?"

Zhuge Liang never thought that there is such a magical place in Nanzhong: "After drinking a mouthful of spring water, the soldiers could not speak, and died within half an hour. It should be a dumb spring."

"It's the dumb spring!"

Meng Jie added: "Second point, the path is full of poisons, and they will attack people from outside at will. Since the soldiers of the military division have drank the water from the dumb spring, they should also be attacked by poisons."

Zhuge Liang was shocked. The old man had guessed all of their experiences correctly. From this point of view, his credibility was very high.

"Excuse me, old man, how to deal with those poisons?"

Zhuge Liang asked respectfully again.

"It's very simple. Poison distinguishes between outsiders and locals mainly through smell. I have something that you can dissolve in water and apply on your body to prevent poison attacks."

As Meng Jie said, he took out a wooden box from his body, which contained more than 30 thumb-sized pills, and continued: "These pills smell very bad when they melt in water, but they are enough for [-] troops. Don't dislike the smell. However, the poison is not the most terrible."

"Is there a more terrifying place?"

Zhuge Liang said in surprise.

"The miasma is the scariest thing!"

Meng Jie said: "If you don't drink the spring water, people will be fine. Poisons can kill and escape. They will not leave the northwest path. But the miasma blends into the air, which is hard to guard against and penetrates everywhere. The military commander should feel lucky that he didn't encounter it last time Get into the miasma, otherwise you will have been wiped out in it."

Zhuge Liang felt a chill in his heart when he heard that, it was not that they were unlucky, but that they were very lucky.

Ma Liang felt that he had brushed shoulders with death, his scalp was numb, and he didn't dare to think about the situation on the trail.

"Those miasmas, even if you accidentally touch them, the skin on your body will immediately fester. If you live for less than three days, your whole body will turn into pieces of rotten flesh, and you will die terribly."

Meng Jie continued: "If you are lucky, you can inhale a mouthful of miasma and die on the spot without any pain. The corpses that die after being inhaled by miasma will all fester and swell, and poisonous insects will grow in them. Those poisonous insects , will gnaw off all the unfestered flesh and bones of the corpse, and most of the poisons in the Northwest Trail are obtained in this way."

"This……"

This time it was Zhuge Liang's turn to feel his scalp go numb. There were still such terrifying things on the northwest path. He was really lucky that he didn't directly encounter the miasma.

Otherwise, tens of thousands of them would not know how to die, and would not even live in peace after death.

"In the south of the valley, there is a piece of scallion rue. You only need to hold a leaf. When you pass through the valley, you will no longer be afraid of miasma, and you can pass without hindrance." Meng Jie said again.

Zhuge Liang was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, old gentleman, for your suggestion."

"When I pacify Nanzhong and go back to Shu Kingdom, I must tell His Majesty that the old man will be regarded as a prince."

Meng Jie waved his hand and said, "There's no need to do this. From now on, I will leave here and go to other places to live in seclusion. I don't want to be disturbed by anyone. I don't know if the military division can find me by then."

Then, he really left.

This is the real hidden master.

Zhuge Liang found a large scallion leaf rue in the south of the valley, and immediately ordered people to pick off the leaves.

Then, Zhuge Liang took out the pill that Meng Jie had given, and just after it melted into the water, there was a foul smell rising into the sky. Normally, the pill had no smell at all, but when it melted into the water, it smelled very bad.

Zhuge Liang ordered everyone to forcibly endure the stench, smear water on their bodies, and hold the leaves of rue scallion in their mouths, and walk through the northwest trail together again.

"Military division, I think we should be careful. You can let 200 people explore the way ahead, and we can pass after making sure there is no problem." Ma Di suggested.

Zhuge Liang thought it was feasible, and ordered 200 people to walk into the northwest trail first.

Soon they all came back, saying that the poisons saw them running away, and there was a miasma rising inside, but nothing happened, and it had no effect on them.

"Old man, you are so virtuous, I admire you!"

Zhuge Liang sighed for a while, and then ordered everyone to enter the northwest path, but it was really helpless.

After a while, everyone finally walked out of this path and came to the vicinity of Tulong Cave.

"Military division, we are coming out!"

Wang Ping excitedly pointed in one direction, and said, "That should be the Tulong Cave, should we attack directly?"

Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Let's rest for one night, and then go to attack tomorrow. Now let's find a way to contact Yang Feng."

-

Inside the Bald Dragon Cave.

Yang Feng also received news from Zhuge Liang that they came to the vicinity of Tulong Cave from the northwest trail.

Because there is something in the northwest path, the people in Tulong Cave know very well.

King Dosi didn't even think about setting up defenses there, and they didn't know about Zhuge Liang's approach.

"Military Master Zhuge did not disappoint me!"

Yang Feng's confidence was greatly increased, and he immediately sent someone to send a message, asking them to attack again at noon tomorrow, and he would definitely cooperate with them internally and externally.

Then, Yang Feng also went to rectify the troops.

Near noon the next day, Yang Feng took a few jars of wine and went to King Duosi and Meng Huo for a drink.

Meng Huo still had a bit of jealousy and displeasure towards Yang Feng, but he couldn't resist the temptation of wine, and the two of them drank too much unconsciously.

boom!

When they were drunk, Yang Feng slammed the cup hard.

A group of prepared people rushed in to tie up Meng Huo and King Dosi.

The two of Meng Huo sobered up at this moment, and said loudly, "Yang Feng, what are you doing?"

"Of course I tied you up and sent them to Army Master Zhuge as a gift from me."

Yang Feng ordered people to catch them and go to fight Zhuge Liang.

At this time, King Dosi and Meng Huo's soldiers and horses all rushed to try to resist and rescue Meng Huo.

"It's not good, outside... there are a lot of Shu soldiers coming outside!"

Someone ran back and shouted.

By the time he finished speaking, Zhuge Liang's men had already rushed in, and the soldiers in Tulong Cave saw an ambush, and they were in total chaos, completely unable to stop the attack of the Shu army. Without the command of the general, it is vulnerable.

In the end, Zhuge Liang completely took control of this place, and then ordered someone to bring Meng Huo up in front of him.

"Zhuge Liang, how could you be here? Impossible!"

Meng Huo asked in a roar as if he had seen a ghost.

The Shu army appeared from the direction of the northwest path, how could they pass through the northwest path and enter the Tulong Cave.
