It seems that no one owe anyone. Wu Shengjun is desperate and the court owes Rong Guang. Niu Da doesn't understand the deeper meaning. He just simply feels that his brothers have their lives to exchange for bullshit Wu Jielang seems to have suffered a loss. His brothers fight to the death, which does not want to be the Wu Jielang of the military officer 38. Such a reward seems to be completely different from his wishes at the beginning of his battle.

Yun Zheng was very upset. After the Hot Spring Pass became a stinking city pass, Wuchao City also became that way. Only countless pigs and sheep were entering and exiting the city gate, and no trace of anyone was seen.

Fortunately, it is not too far from Guangzhou here. Yu Jingyun came to a large amount of turmeric oil and finally got a place to use it. The catapult threw the turmeric oil into Chengguan and then threw the fire into it. Wuchao City became a burning city...

The fire burned for six days before it gradually faded in a drizzle. The first person to enter the city was Jiaziying. They entered the city carefully like ghosts like white clothes and white pants. The whole city had turned into coke, but there were many white bones on the ground that had not been completely burned.

The suspension bridge had been completely burned and hung on the other side of the cliff in a mess. Jiaziying searched all over the city and found no living creatures. He then burned the unburned objects again. After such a big fire, even if there were still bacteria in Wuchao City, it would not cause any damage to people.

The Wusheng Army began to rebuild the suspension bridge, but the suspension bridge they built was much stronger than the rattan bridge built by Nong Zhigao. Iron chains and fasteners have become the standard equipment of the Wusheng Army. So in less than half a day, a suspension bridge formed by twelve iron chains appeared on the cliff, with only wooden boards laid on it. Such a bridge is enough for the entire Wusheng Army to pass.

Everyone else is busy, only Yun Zheng is playing with the elephants. These elephants who have been trained by their subordinates are indeed very smart. Under the temptation of Yun Zheng's various delicacies, they can already be controlled by the grooms in Wusheng's army to do some simple tasks. Although the scars on their bodies still do not grow well, they will not delay their mouthfuls of swallowing various fruits and food.

Elephants have no resistance to the temptation of sugarcane. In order to get a sugarcane, they would rather use their noses to roll thick wood between the woods and the construction site.

There were only twenty-one living elephants, and such a number made Yun Zheng very satisfied. Even after the raging gunpowder, no matter how serious the injuries they suffered on the outside were, they were quickly healed. Most of the dead elephants were elephants with internal organs and eardrums. Looking at the dead elephants with pus flowing out of their ears, Yun Zheng felt very sorry.

There are twelve baby elephants left. This is simply a miracle. These injured elephants began to raise the remaining baby elephants as soon as they survived. Because of the existence of these baby elephants, the elephants' panic mood was quickly soothed.

Elephants occupy a very important position in Yun Zheng's combat plan. It would be unimaginable to travel through some forest paths that had long been covered by vines.

The reason why Li Dezheng, the Prince of Jiaozhi, dared to blatantly support Nong Zhigao and sent his younger brother to the Song Dynasty to show off his power and extort was that there was a vast primeval forest between Guangyuanzhou and Shenglong Mansion.

Since the Han Dynasty, the Central Dynasty began to rule over Jiaozhi. After years of rectification, four roads that could allow the army to pass through have appeared in the forest. However, these roads require constant rest and clearance, and the clumps of vines can be called roads. Since Li Dezheng came to power, he has ordered the closure of three of these roads. Only one of them is the most favorable road for Jiaozhi defense, and the remaining three roads have been swallowed up by the jungle in the fastest time.

Perhaps some people don't believe that vines in tropical jungle can grow more than one meter a day and overnight. As long as no one walks the road with a machete for more than a month, the road will become the same as other parts of the forest.

Only one road was marked in the official documents of the Song Dynasty. However, in Cui Da’s business traffic chart, there were three thick black lines in the middle of the forest.

No matter how cruel and ruthless Li Dezheng's decree was, it could not stop the Jiaozhi merchants from wanting to trade with the Song Dynasty and were unwilling to pay taxes. Yun Zheng did not need much effort, and he could not even use his presence. Cui Da had already marked these three roads neatly on Yun Zheng's marching map.

Cui Da no longer has a fat figure. Standing behind Yun Zheng, he is already a capable businessman. He looked at Yun Zheng with sugarcane and fed the elephant and smiled: "Master, are you really planning to use these elephants to clear the way in the forest?"

Yun Zheng stuffed the last sugarcane into the mouth of a female elephant with only half a tooth and said, "Compared to humans, I believe more about elephants. The elephant's requirements are very simple. As long as I give it sugarcane, it will help me work, and do one sugarcane at a time. Now they are used to asking for their own sugarcane after work. I am also used to asking for sugarcane from me after work. This kind of cooperation is very good, both elephants and I are very satisfied.

The Khmer people you mentioned have asked for too much, and it is difficult for me to agree to their conditions, and I am almost ineligible to agree to their conditions.

The Zhenla Kingdom has disappeared, and they still do not give up and want to recreate the glory of Zhenla. This is actually very stupid. Why must the flag of the Zhenla dynasty be raised to make Li Dezheng hate them? You must know that as long as it is related to the change of the country and the handover of the regime, there is often no chance of symbiosis. Unless one side completely disappears, a new balance will appear."

Cui Da helped Yun Zheng bring a bundle of sugarcane from the feed hiding, and used his waist knife to cut the sugarcane into pieces. Now the people who come here to eat the sugarcane are all small elephants.

After Yun Zheng fed all the little elephants, he saw that there were two pieces of sugarcane beside him, so he handed them to Cui Da a piece. The two of them were talking while peeling the sugarcane.

"Master, since the Khmers are willing to lead us and help us deal with Li Dezheng, why don't you agree to their request? Anyway, we can agree to it all and then overthrow it."

Yun Zheng smiled and shook his head, bite the sugarcane and took a bite. The sugarcane was good and very sugary. It was not until he spit out the dregs in his mouth that he looked at Cui Da and said, "Do you think the Khmer people are fools? They wouldn't think of the ideas you can think of? Cui Da, do you often don't keep your promises when doing business?"

Cui Da smiled and said, "Of course I keep my promises. If I don't keep my promises, how can I do business with others? But these Khmer people are different."

Yun Zheng sighed and said, "Same, Cui Da, remember, they are all the same. Since God gave us the same head, the difference between us has not been too big.

You go and tell the Khmer elders that it is impossible to give Guangyuanzhou to them. There is no possibility. This is already the land of the Song Dynasty. They cannot be involved. It is impossible to help them build an army. This is causing trouble for the Song Dynasty. You also have to tell him that after the Shenglong Mansion is breached, the wealth in the city belongs to us, and they cannot be involved, but I don’t mind that they form an army to attack the city next to Shenglong Mansion.”

Cui Da said in embarrassment: "This answer will definitely fall apart. The Khmer people cannot help us pass through the 300-mile forest."

Yun Zheng smiled strangely and said, "You are not an elder monk of the Khmer tribe. Why do you make a decision for them? Let me tell you something. The more severe my conditions are, the more serious the Khmer tribes will discuss with us on a date. Don't believe it? You will know if you ask those monks. Anyway, the leaders of the Khmer people are all monks, so maybe they will like this answer."

Cui Da angrily slapped his already cut sugarcane into Yun Zheng's hand and walked towards the canyon angrily. The leader of the Khmer people was now waiting for news in the canyon not far away.

A little elephant shook her soft nose and leaned over Yun Zheng, making a tender sound. It seemed that it was not skilled in using the nose. Yun Zheng saw this guy tripping over his nose more than once.

Seeing that it finally learned to use its nose clumsyly, Yun Zheng put the sugarcane peeled by Cui Da as a reward into its grown mouth. The newly grown baby teeth could not bite the unpeeled sugarcane.

The elephant in the distance leisurely picked food with its nose, and the broken branches were stuffed into its mouth. In a short while, the trees there were destroyed and covered in bruises.

After eating his sugarcane, Xiaoxiang stared at the remaining half in Yun Zheng's hand, pouting and screaming, her eyes full of desire for deliciousness. The mother elephant, who was eating leaves, looked here alertly. Yun Zheng had no choice but to stuff the sugarcane in his hand into Xiaoxiang's mouth, and the guy shook his plump butt and walked towards his mother.

Cui Da was very efficient. During dinner, he came to the military tent again and looked at Yun Zheng like a ghost and said, "You are right. The Khmer people seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. They promised me that everything was easy to discuss and that there would always be a result that everyone would be happy with."

Yun Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I believe that the Khmers really want to gain their own interests through us. This is an attitude of discussing things. If they dare to propose to hand over Guangyuanzhou to them for governance again, I would like to kill them all, and I would not march towards Shenglong Mansion until I cleared the Khmers on this land.

You go and tell the Khmers that I will meet them at the entrance of the canyon tomorrow, and this matter must be kept confidential. If the matter is leaked, I may be very unlucky."
