Chapter 384 Submitting to the Law of the Southern Barbarians
-》
please remember
When the soldiers dragged Meng Huo's body out, the Nanman people who were kneeling outside the tent saw this scene. Some of them seemed to have seen their own results, and their whole bodies were trembling. They were all tough men, and they looked at King Duosi, whose teeth were chattering. He snorted coldly: "Humph, I'm afraid of death."
King Duosi glanced at Wutu Gu: "You are not afraid that if the king is killed, what will happen to us?"
Wu Tu Gu said: "It's so terrible to die in a war. Those soldiers are not all dead, not to mention the king is buried with you. Can we cause any trouble in the southern barbarians? Long Fei is too lazy to kill us."
"Oh" King Duosi hurriedly moved closer to Wu Tu Gu: "What you said is true."
Wu Tu Gu smiled slightly: "What do you think?"
King Duosi shook his head and said: "The so-called wisest man in the South Barbarians can't even guess this. Have you noticed that there seem to be a lot of people missing from us?"
King Dosi hurriedly turned his head and looked around at the dark area, which was full of Southern Barbarian prisoners. He looked around and found nothing wrong. Just when he was about to turn his head back, King Dosi suddenly remembered: "Why are they missing?" [
Wu Tu Gu looked at King Duosi, angry and amused, and sighed softly: "That's right, if my guess is correct, the next King of the Southern Barbarians will be that boy."
Yue Jun's Yamen brought the cave master Zhu Hui and Zhu Rong's siblings to discuss the matter. Ma Zhong, holding his own bow and arrows, stood quietly at the door. Zhu Rong turned around and glanced at Ma Zhong. Ma Zhong's face showed no expression from the first moment. Since seeing Ma Zhong, Ma Zhong has always had this face. Zhu Hui chuckled: "Sister, have you fallen in love with me?"
"Go away and go here, you have no business talking to me."
Zhu Hui said with a smile on his face as if he knew what he meant: "You have fallen in love with me, but I don't know if they have fallen in love with you."
"Humph" Zhu Rong snorted coldly: "Why do you think your sister is not worthy of him?"
"Of course she is worthy of my sister. She is the most beautiful woman in Nanban. I don't know how many people are vying to marry her and take her home. It is his blessing." Zhu Hui looked proud, like a child at this time. His expression revealed his feelings: "But after all, we are prisoners of others now and we are Southern Barbarians. If the Han people like us, even if he agrees to General Long, he may not agree."
Meng Shuo, who was talking at the stall, suddenly walked in. Ma Zhong saluted quickly. Meng Shuo nodded and gave Zhu Hui a fist: "My lord, the cave master, has invited you."
"What's the matter?"
Meng Shuo shook his head: "You will know after you go, let's go."
Zhu Hui was a little afraid of the murder of Long Fei and Meng Huo. He had also heard about it. Although he and Long Fei were allies, the relationship was not symmetrical. Long Fei's soldiers were strong and his horses were strong. He had only a few men, and even Meng Huo was no match for him. What's more, if Long Fei was his opponent, Now that Fei has turned against him, none of the people he brought to the hole will survive. Zhu Hui did not dare to be stubborn. He quickly got up and followed Meng Shuo into the lobby.
In the lobby, all the generals and counselors under Long Fei were all present. The scene was somewhat solemn. Long Fei's face looked ugly. There was a pool of blood on the ground, which should be Meng Huo's. A few steps away from Long Fei, Zhu Hui quickly knelt down outside the blood. Guo Jia greeted Long Fei and smiled slightly: "You're welcome, cave master. You and we are allies. Cave master is our guest. You don't need to be so polite."
Zhu Hui quickly said with a smile: "No, no, no, no, the general has many talents. The defeat of Meng Huo is all due to you. We don't dare to take credit."
Xu Shu said: "Don't be polite, cave master. My lord will let you go back tomorrow. When you get to Nanman, I hope the cave master can publicize your lord's benefits. At the same time, my lord is planning to open a mutual market in Yuejun so that the southern barbarians can live a good life."
Zhu Hui nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and was extremely cautious. However, it could still be seen from his face that he was happy in his heart. Jin Dianwei suddenly interjected: "Huh, these Southern barbarians have no faith and can't let them go for a while." If you go there, you will definitely recruit soldiers and horses to come back with force. As the saying goes, those who are not of my race will have different hearts. It is better to kill them all."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Hui waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, we don't dare anymore. The Han people are strong and the Southern barbarians are weak. We are willing to pay tribute every year and become ministers every year. We just want to live in peace." [
"Don't let it go, absolutely can't let it go. If there is a first time, there will be a second time. It's better to kill him." Hearing the voices of the generals, Zhu Feng was pounding in his heart.
Zhu Rong suddenly appeared at the door, heard the general's round of remarks, and strode in regardless of the guards' obstruction. He stared at Long Fei and said, "Why do you want to use us? When you kept saying you wanted to form an alliance with us, you don't have to do it now." Kick us away. We Southern Barbarians are also human beings, not animals. Even animals can distinguish between good and bad. If you Han people hadn't humiliated us all day long, why would we be your enemies? Since you don't believe us, we will kill you, so there is no need to pretend here anymore. acting"
"Sister" Zhu Hui shouted loudly for fear that Zhu Rong's words would offend Long Fei.
Zhu Rongren lives up to her name, although she is a girl and her temper is definitely stronger than that of many men. Yi Zhilong Fei said: "We formed an alliance at the beginning, but now that you have broken your promise, you are not afraid of being laughed at by the world."
Zhu Hui kept apologizing to his sister, who knew best that he had nothing to do. After a long time, Li Ru slowly stood up and smiled: "In this case, none of us are worried about anyone. I have a solution to the current crisis. I don't know what you can do." willing to listen”
"Sir, please make sure we are all ears." Zhu Hui nodded quickly.
Li Rudao: "Since you and I are an alliance, we must fight for a common goal. This campaign was instigated by Liu Bei of Yizhou and Meng Huo. We have found out that now that Meng Huo is dead, the Southern Barbarians will be in chaos." In order to stabilize the southern barbarians, we can send an army and horses to temporarily stay in the cave you brought..."
Before Li Ru finished speaking, Zhu Rong immediately jumped out to object: "No, absolutely not. We Southern Barbarians have been oppressed by you Han people for too long. If you send troops, the people will definitely complain. If something happens, we can't guarantee that the people you sent will come back alive."
"Sister" Zhu Hui said quickly: "General Long, this is also a good intention. Our soldiers and horses are now in Yuejun. If we don't have soldiers and horses, anyone can bully us. Meng Huo is dead, and our biggest backer is gone. What if that tribe attacks?" How can the soldiers do this?" Zhu Huiyou looked at Li Ru: "We agree with what you said and don't have any objections."
"Girl, listen to what I have to say. Since we have sent troops to you, you can also send troops to us." Li Ru smiled slightly: "We have captured many southern barbarian soldiers in this battle. These are considered the soldiers and horses you sent to us. If you are worried, girl, you can personally Except for the battle, the rest of the leadership is the same as our dragon army, as long as the girl listens to the command."
"I don't understand what you mean?" Zhu Rong looked at Li Ru
Li Ru further explained: "My lord is so virtuous that he cannot bear to kill these Southern Barbarian soldiers, so he plans to set up a Southern Barbarian army. General Zhu will personally take charge of all expenses. As long as the girl can control her soldiers and obey the orders, I will do the same." Just participate in the battle. Of course, these people are the elite of the Southern Barbarians. Without them, there will be problems within the Southern Barbarians, so the lord will send people to the Southern Barbarians to protect the safety of one side. I said so, girl, I understand."
"Let us join the Dragon Army" Zhu Rong looked at Li Ru
"Why are you still unwilling?" Dian Wei asked sternly: "I still look down on you Southern Barbarians. You are no different from those bandits. Joining our Dragon Army is a compliment to you."
Zhu Rong glanced at everyone and then looked at Long Fei who said nothing. He knew in his heart that these strategies had been planned for a long time. They were just putting on a show for themselves here. Even if he didn't agree, there would always be someone who agreed. Now Long Fei is the big one. If Long Fei is really angry and sends his army south, it is not impossible to defeat the Southern Barbarians. It is not difficult to destroy the Southern Barbarians with the combat power of the Dragon Army.
"Of course, in order to commend Miss Zhu and the Cave Master for their sincere support of the Han Dynasty, the Lord has asked His Majesty to appoint the Cave Master as the Southern Barbarian General to command the entire Southern Barbarians, which is what you call the Southern Barbarian King." Guo Jia shook his feather fan lightly and looked at it with a smile. Zhu Hui, Zhu Rong
"If you don't agree, you can kill the prisoners at the city gate tomorrow at noon. You still have twelve hours to think about it." Dian Wei shook his iron halberd and licked his dry lips, looking like he was eating people. posture of bones
Sure enough, at noon the next day, there were dragon army soldiers escorting the captured Nanman people to the city gate. The people were waiting on both sides. Since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the people living here have never been so happy as today. The Nanman people will always come from time to time. Even the Emperor Wu's dynasty was no exception when it came to "harassment". The imperial court sent troops to conquer many times, but it was often ignored. All the people who suffered later were the common people.
Yuejun is the nearest big city to the Nanman. This place has always been the target of robbery by the Nanman. In the past, they only saw the Nanman killing Han prisoners at the city gate. Today, they finally took revenge. The executioner had already raised the sword in his hand and was subordinate to the Yamen. News came that Zhu Rong, who had brought the cave, had promised to surrender to Long Fei. These prisoners were now his own.
Long Fei immediately appointed Zhu Rong as the general of the Southern Barbarian Army, Wu Tugu, and Sun Shangxiang, who was transferred from Jingzhou, as his deputy generals. At the same time, he appointed King Duosi as the military advisor and Ma Zhong as the supervisor of the Southern Barbarian Army. From then on, the Long Army gained strength and broke through. Zhuge Liang wants to use the Nanman people to deal with Long Fei's plan. Once things here are settled, he can focus on dealing with Yizhou.
