It's not too bizarre to say that the weather in Lingnan can change, especially in autumn, Lingnan may be empty one moment, and the next moment it will suddenly rain, which is not surprising at all.

The closer the primary forest is to the river, the denser the aquatic plants and plants become. In addition, because it is a primeval forest environment, to be honest, there are many fierce beasts near the river beach, after all, as long as all living things need water, water source is the key to the continuation of the race for animals.

There are really a lot of smoky miasma in the vast Lingnan area, and that is because the forests are too dense, and there are so many water molecules that it is inevitable that it is very easy to form a foggy environment.

The foggy environment is nothing, but there are many puddles with animal corpses, so it is extremely easy to breed mosquitoes, and the creatures will always produce decaying gas after death, and there may be nothing if there are fewer corpses, but there are many corpses and fog, mosquitoes, and some special geographical locations, and the poisonous miasma is also produced.

The Lu Zhe army that attacked Lingnan did not hesitate to enter the poisonous miasma forest many times. Some of them are not deep enough to produce poisonous fog because the climate is not enough to produce them, and they can be more or less spared. Some of them are too deep unconsciously, and it is too late to exit when they reach the temperature of the poisonous mist, so they can only be reimbursed inside.

There is a very immoral saying circulating within the Southern Legion: If you have an enmity with someone, then recommend him to be a scout, you don't need to be brute, God can clean him up.

It is absolutely right to say that it is "God" to clean up, the production of poisonous fog is related to temperature, when the sun is shining, it is not easy to produce poisonous miasma, and in cloudy and windless weather, some areas will definitely emerge fog and become poisonous miasma forests.

The losses of the scouts of the Southern Legion were too heavy, especially the scouts from the Central Plains, and one out of ten who could survive for more than a month was considered lucky, but those who were naturalized from Baiyue had more attempts to save their lives because of their familiarity with the forest.

It's not that no one mentioned that all the scouts were changed to naturalized Baiyue people. But whoever said this was glared back.

The scouts were all replaced by naturalized Baiyue people? What kind of stupidity would come up with such a proposal! Yes, yes, Chinese soldiers are not familiar with the primeval forest, and as scouts, they are very prone to make mistakes of one kind or another. But replacing all the scouts with Baiyue people, God knows what these Baiyue people who have not been naturalized for a long time think in their heads, if there are a few people who still have national ideas in their hearts, it is not a matter of reimbursing the losses of some scouts.

"If you are not of my race, your heart will be different" Not many people will spit it out of their mouths, after all, the current national concept is still relatively vague, and at least 80,000 of the 200,000 soldiers of the Southern Army are naturalized Baiyue people. However, this sentence has been in place since the moment it was created. Anyone who has heard it can understand what it means.

Luo Shao was originally the best successor of the Southern Army after Sima Xin returned to Nanling, but why was Luo Shao not sent to take over the Southern Army after Luo Shao ran to assist Ji Bu's attack on Chu? No one said it, but they knew the power of the phrase "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different", it was impossible for Lu Zhe to let Luo Shao come to the south as the commander of the first army, so it was Zhou Wen who came.

To be honest, the people of the Southern Legion had no opinion on Zhou Wen's takeover, on the one hand, the order was given by Lu Zhe, and on the other hand, because Zhou Wen did not point a finger after he came, he denied their efforts.

The time when each army changes its commander is also the moment when the army is at its most vulnerable. That's because no one can understand what kind of person the new commander is, and he has to be afraid to prevent the new officer from taking office or something, but Zhou Wen is very low-key and familiar with the structure and tactics of the Southern Army, and he takes the risk to personally lead people to familiarize himself with the geography and terrain. It looks like a person who understands the friendship in the army, and he is also a person who understands that he should first understand the terrain of the army before he can act. They slowly accepted the fact that Zhou Wen was the new commander.

In other words, Zhou Wen knew very well that he was a temporary replacement, and it was impossible for him to remain the commander of the Southern Army for a long time. He was stupid to do the murderous and powerful new official to take office three fires.

As a temporary commander, what Zhou Wen had to do was to give the generals of the Southern Army a gentle feeling of blowing the earth like a spring breeze, and collect the friendship and affection of these colleagues. While doing this. He also had to continue to lead the army steadily and orderly in accordance with Sima Xin's operational deployment. If he had enough brains and wisdom, he should think about whether there was any way to reduce the loss and speed up the time to help his allegiance take over the whole of Lingnan as soon as possible.

Ambition, people will flourish because they have ambition, no ambition means no desire, and without desire, the society can only step forward and cannot move forward.

Zhou Wen is an ambitious person, otherwise he would not have gathered a crowd to rebel when the world was in turmoil, but it is a pity that he met Huan Chu, a local wealthy family in Lujiang, and only went to seek refuge in Lu Zhe after being beaten to the ground.

To say that Zhou Wen is also a lucky person, he immediately met the Qin army south after he took refuge in Lu Zhe, and Lu Zhe at that time did not have many generals in his hands, and when Lu Zhe appointed him to lead an army to the north to support, he also showed a brilliant appearance, which can be regarded as gaining a firm foothold in Lu Zhe.

What is more fortunate about Zhou Wen? It was he who met Lu Zhe who allowed his subordinates to have ambitions as long as he didn't want to kill himself, so he just wanted to glorify his ancestors and live a life of glory and wealth, which Lu Zhe was very happy to see.

Again, only ordinary people will have no ambition, because they don't have the ability to correspond to it, so they can only stay honest. Anyone who is talented will have ambitions of one kind or another...... Or called desire, some people have found their own position, and many people will set goals too far from their own ability limits, so everyone's circumstances are different, and the end will not be the same.

If Lu Zhe only had Nan County, Hengshan County, and Cangwu County, Zhou Wen's ambition might be greater, but when Lu Zhe's continuous expansion and control over the army became stronger and stronger, he, a smart man, immediately put out those unrealistic and careful thoughts, and set the goal of struggle very realistically. He is not like Wu Rui and Huan Chu, who have not found their own position, being suppressed, seeing that if he doesn't correct his thinking, he can only be a civilian official for the rest of his life, and he will no longer have the opportunity to lead the army. He is not like the Xiang clan, who obviously has the opportunity to become the "island master", who was destroyed, so that he can get to this point.

Lingnan is not a good place, Zhou Wen has a clear understanding of this after a month of coming, in addition to a leopard that can climb trees, there are as many tigers, elephants, and pythons as there are, and there is no shortage of crocodiles, cold-blooded animals with strange and ugly appearances.

However, in some places, Lingnan is a good place, and no matter how temporary the commander Zhou Wen is, he is also a commander, and he can understand a lot of information that cannot be understood if his identity is not in place. He had read more than once the reports of mineral discoveries in Lingnan, and there were at least 17 discoveries of copper, iron, silver, gold and other metals in the eastern part of Lingnan alone. And the precious woods of Cinnamon chinensis, Phoebe chinensis, Prunus chinensis, Prunus chinensis, southern yew and so on, seem to abound in this damned, endless forest.

"What an undeveloped virgin land......"

Zhou Wen's emotion will be followed by many people, he is not a small person who doesn't know anything, and he knows very well what so many minerals and precious timber represent. This is the foundation of an empire! It is an indispensable wealth for the development of the country! If there were plains in Lingnan that produced grain, then once their new power was founded, they would not be afraid of lacking the wealth of the developing country for at least two hundred years or more!

"What a long-term monarch the Lord is!" Zhou Wen sighed against his will, obviously the First Emperor was the first to see the wealth of Lingnan, but he was Lu Zhe's courtier, which is completely understandable. He added with emotion and great eagerness: "If you can get a fief in Lingnan, then the family will not lack wealth?" ”

Hard work, struggle, hard work, hard work, Lingnan is destined to be occupied by the object of allegiance, if it doesn't work for one year, it will be fought for two years, and if it doesn't work for two years, it will be fought for three years, I didn't know what was worth occupying in this wild land of Lingnan before, but now I know that Lingnan has so much wealth, Zhou Wen immediately became the most staunch supporter of attacking Lingnan.

Oh oh? Sima Zhonglang is going to spend the break in the autumn rainy season? Zhou Wen specially asked the naturalized Baiyue generals who were familiar with the climate of Lingnan, and learned that there would indeed be a break in the rainy season for about ten days in their location, so he worked hard to regulate the army and prepare for battle without saying a word.

There has never been a shortage of timber in the primeval forest of Lingnan, and their army is not a Stone Age army that knows nothing, and it took three days to see whether it was trees to build boats or tie rafts, enough swimming tools for 5,000 people to be made in no time.

Before crossing the river, Zhou Wen was very cautious to send scouts to reconnoiter movements within ten miles of the surrounding area, and some places such as valleys where it was easy to hide people were searched and confirmed very carefully.

There is a special reason why only a ten-mile radius is explored, because the primeval forest area is also like that, in this kind of terrain, even if it is a hundred more monkeys for half a day, they can only walk ten miles, explore farther places, or leave the team with wolf smoke as a warning in a farther place, but it must also be able to ignite in this damn humid environment, and if the smoke is lit, it must be able to rise to the sky, even if it can rise to the sky, it will be blocked by the towering primeval forest. In an environment with dense vegetation and complex terrain, rely on people to run or shout to spread warnings? Are you sure that didn't happen in the world of Xianxia?

It's very smooth, at least nothing too embarrassing happened, the five thousand troops in the lead swam across, but Zhou Wen didn't have time to be happy, the last moment he could still see the sun, the next moment it was windy, and the next moment it was cloudy and rainy...... (To be continued......)
