Although I heard from Zhang Wenbiao that the Lingnan side has been eyeing the Chu land and constantly incited the surrounding barbarians and border people near Wuling to commit insurrection, but who is Zhou Xingfeng?
I was originally wary of Zhang Wenbiao, so I deliberately placed him in a remote place where even the Han people in Chu didn't want to come. Hengzhou City, which was once prosperous, has basically become an abandoned city since the incident of competing horses.
It was really helpless for Zhang Wenbiao to play like this, but it was a pity that Zhou Xingfeng didn't take it too seriously. While comforting his brother to guard the border for him, he deliberately delayed the support to Hengzhou City. Zhang Wenbiao's failure this time was not only a result of Lingnan's divine weapons, but also a kind of relief for Zhang Wenbiao himself.
Guo Jing is already good at analyzing these things, so even if there are no snakes, insects, tigers and leopards along the way, and because of the towering ancient trees, there will be a faint miasma permeating the air in the evening, and people who don't know the details will naturally find it easy to get the wrong way. But Guo Jing is already used to these things, how can things go wrong so easily.
This miasma has been accumulated by the humidity in the south for thousands of years. Rotten leaves and various animal carcasses continue to accumulate underground, forming a miasma of varying concentrations. Ren is a local native. Although he has his own ways to avoid it, if he inhales too much, it will slowly become fatal.
What's more, if people from outside the area enter here carelessly and don't know where they are, they often end up with no bones left. Although Shaozhou belongs to the central area of Chu, there is still great danger close to the location of western Chu.
As a person protected by his counterpart Zheng Tuo, the King of Poisons, it can be said that Chu Land is completely unimpeded for Guo Jing. Before Liu Jixing sent people to Chu, he had to weigh things up. The intelligence revealed that Zhou Xingfeng was as famous as Guo Wei. Although he did not enter the Qiyi list, Zhou Tingzi was so famous that even Yang Jiong and Shi Wu did not dare to underestimate him.
In terms of Zheng Tuo's skills, ordinary people cannot reach his height now. They can completely force the miasma out of the body and not let the miasma get close. But Zheng Tuo did have a medicine that had an excellent effect on this miasma. Guo Jing had already verified this when he was Chu Xi.
Guo Jing is a more thoughtful person. He knew that his team could enter the Chu region to cause trouble. Naturally, he had an escape route and the help of a convenient map. He will not underestimate his opponents, nor will he be arrogant about how powerful he is.
Liu Jixing warned him more than once that every mountain in this world is higher than the other, so he paid more attention to the details along the way. He was more sensitive than others to any details that happened around him.
There is indeed turmoil in various parts of the Chu region. Since the formation of the Han army, prefectures and counties are also suppressing and rounding up, but Zhou Xingfeng prohibits private discussions. Zhou Xingfeng suspected that these people had escaped from Chuxi into the entire Chu region. For this reason, Zhou Xingfeng also suspected his general Zhang Wenbiao.
Because the Lingnan army wanted to enter the Chu territory normally, he should be the first to know. However, an army actually entered the Chu region and occupied Yongzhou City openly. For others, this is a big deal, but for Zhou Xingfeng, this may be a game between himself and Zhang Wenbiao.
Because how could Lingnan cross the Five Ridges and then go down the Xiaoshui River to capture Yongzhou City in one fell swoop? No one would believe him if he said he was cheating, so even now, Zhou Xingfeng only believed that this was Zhang Wenbiao's trick.
I didn't think about whether Zhang Wenbiao was innocent, but I thought that the bandits in Chuxi would not appear for no reason. Although there have been desperate bandits in this place, they obviously took advantage of the Han army's invasion of Chuxi.
This group of Han troops might be Zhang Wenbiao's men, and this group of bandits from Chuxi will naturally gain great benefits if they can control the road from Chuxi to Shuzhong. Are they a prelude for Zhang Wenbiao to occupy Chu Nan, or even use Chu Xi to outflank him?
What Zhou Xingfeng is most annoyed about right now is naturally this matter.
Seeing the team entering this mountain col, Guo Jing was still a little worried even though there were already spies moving forward. If someone sets an ambush here, the whole team may be wiped out.
Zhou Xingfeng was now on guard against Zhang Wenbiao. Regardless of whether he was a cover-up or not, at least he was on guard against himself. But thinking about Liu Jixing telling himself that Chu people have a straightforward personality and would not have so many clever ideas. Although it has been continuously verified, Guo Jing still dare not be careless.
Seeing the team slowly walking out of the col, Guo Jing couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It looked like they could pass this level.
Moving forward quickly, he was no longer the scholar he was before. After nearly two years of training and fighting, Guo Jing has already become a general who has experienced hundreds of battles. Seeing the clear sky outside the dense shade of trees makes people breathe a deep sigh of relief.
Although the weather in late summer is warm, these men are even more passionate because of the shade of the trees. The more we see the transparent scenery in front, the more our mood becomes brighter.
The spies who had been walking in front to clear the way were veterans who followed Guo Jing. They often traveled between actual battles and were very familiar and experienced with marching operations and roads. He had been walking two or three hundred meters ahead, when he suddenly stopped looking ahead. The team behind them didn't know what was happening, so they all stopped.
Seeing that Zheng Tuo's expression did not change, the guard Tieniu on the side jumped up to a tree pole and saw the scene in front of him. It turned out that there were three bloody human heads hanging on a tree in the middle of the road.
The head was obviously beheaded not long ago, and the remaining blood was still dripping. Tieniu was a little surprised. Seeing this situation, the other party killed everyone and only left for a few minutes. He didn't dare to make a decision, so he naturally came down to report to Guo Jing. Guo Jing did not speak for the time being because he did not know the identities of these three people and the purpose of hanging their heads here.
Looking at the scene in front of him, the face of the spy in front naturally showed a cautious look. He stopped for a moment and signaled everyone not to go forward. However, Tieniu, who was born in the military academy, had seen a lot of life and death with Guo Jing. He looked at the people at the Fire Dragon Sect and asked them what was going on.
Guo Jing knew even more how strange the barbarians were, because this place was not far from the barbarian area, so he sent someone to see the reason.
Sure enough, She Bozi from the Fire Dragon Gate didn't expect to come over. He said with a look of fear that everyone must change their route now. There were barbarians doing something on the road ahead. They used human heads to warn outsiders and blocked everyone's access to this direction.
Originally, the outside of the col was open, and you can see that two roads have branched off. One is a dirt road with relatively clean weeds, and it looks like a main road that is often used by people. The other is also a road, but it has green grass and shrubs. All grown out.
