In the past, when he first captured Shuzhou, Xu Mu naturally did not want the army to be tired and went out to kill the tiger barbarians. But it is different now. The harm of the tiger barbarians is lying nearby, and they must be cleaned up after all.
Sitting on the throne, Xu Mu frowned and looked at the Human information in his hand.
The intelligence is almost the same as before. The number of tiger barbarians has been greatly reduced. Now, there are only 40,000 to 50,000 people left. Although it is said that all the people are soldiers, some old and weak must be eliminated. In addition, the intelligence also mentioned an important point.
The leader of the tiger barbarians, Pei Fu, was invincible and wielded a mountain-cutting ax. There were many crocodiles in the swamps under the mountains, but whenever he saw Pei Fu, they would retreat in shock.
Putting away the information, Xu Mu was more willing to believe that the tiger barbarians were exaggerating. In the past few years, although Han Jiu was reckless, he was not at fault when guarding the Nanlin Mountains. Several horned cities were easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they were regarded as blockades.
The autumn raids of the tiger barbarians and all kinds of invasions were eliminated.
However, the ringworm on the skin has been secretly sponsored by many forces and is ready to take action. It is like pulling out the tiger's beard in Xishu and has to be eliminated.
"Sun Xun, go and tell Li Tao. Ask him to write a document and spread it throughout Western Shu. Then tell him that I, Xu Mu, will personally conquer the tiger barbarians."
No matter what, the extermination of tiger barbarians can eventually boost morale.
Sun Xun ran out in a hurry.
Xu Mu exhaled and continued to discuss the strategy of defeating the tiger barbarians with the little dog Fu in front of him. What impressed him was that it was the first time that the little dog Fu served as a military advisor, but he was very stable and made a decision on how to send out the army.
Policy.
…
Outside the Nanlin Mountains, there are many wooden buildings of various types on the scattered swamps. They are all supported by long logs and kept away from the swamps to prevent them from getting wet.
At this time, a naked and burly man, carrying a big python on his back, walked back to the settlement coldly. The big python was probably not dead yet. When it was thrown to the ground, the snake's head shook a few times——
tread.
The tiger barbarian man stepped on it with his bare feet and crushed the snake's head to pieces. After a while, many tiger barbarians came and started eating it raw on the ground.
"King, everyone has arrived."
The savage man walked up to a huge wooden building with a cold face. In the wooden building, candles were lit with animal oil. Under the candlelight, several extremely frightened faces were reflected.
The owners of these faces are not dressed like barbarians, but rather like people from the Central Plains. Some of these people were envoys from Demon Empress Su and envoys from Dongling. After the country was destroyed, they did not dare to
In desperation, he stayed in the Human tribe, hoping to wait for an opportunity to help the Human push back Western Shu and return to the Central Plains.
"Your Majesty." A middle-aged man with a goatee spoke. His name was Jiao Wei. He had previously been ordered by Demon Empress Su to cross the mountains and reach the tiger barbarian settlement. As a liaison envoy, he also secretly sent many gifts.
of food.
Vaguely, Jiao Wei was already the leader of several Central Plains people.
"Your Majesty, I have heard that Thief Xu is about to raise an army to attack."
Pei Fu, the tiger barbarian king, had a hateful expression on his face, "If he doesn't come, I will go looking for him. Seize my home and kill my people. The hatred between me, the tiger barbarian, and the Shu people is irreconcilable!"
"My king... Thief Xu is now so powerful that he is invincible."
"What do you mean, you want to retreat deeper into the swamp?" Pei Fu sneered, "If you continue to retreat, you and I will have to live in the swamp!"
"That's not what I meant." Jiao Wei consoled him, "What I meant was that the king might as well use the swamp to defeat Thief Xu!"
"Oh, what do you say?"
"In the swamp, there are crocodiles and pythons, and a lot of miasma. The tiger barbarians must have been used to it after living here for a long time, but if the people of Xishu step into the swamp for the first time... Haha, I'm being honest, it's true
Don’t be afraid of death!”
When Mr. Pei heard this, he also smiled. Although the people in front of him were not of the same race, they were quite smart in some things.
"May I ask, Your Majesty, how many barbarian troops there can be?"
"Twenty thousand... about fifteen thousand. As you know, there are only forty or fifty thousand people left in our Tiger Barbarian tribe, including the old, weak, and those with physical disabilities. Ten and fifty thousand barbarian soldiers is already the limit.
"
"That's right. The tiger barbarian warriors deserve to be the whole nation. If we can defeat the Shu people this time, we will take the opportunity to attack the Nanlin Mountains and seize the two southern counties of Shuzhou!"
Mr. Pei raised his head and closed his eyes, "I heard that the two southern counties are now inhabited by ordinary barbarians?"
"Exactly. Meng Huo, the king of Pingman, has also grown up."
"He is the same age as me." Pei Fu sneered, "Back then, he and I had a few fights when we were still young men."
"Who's winning?"
"Of course it's me. That little guy can only hold an ax and rush around. This time, I want to let him see clearly who is the barbarian king of the southwest!"
The Tiger Barbarians and the Ping Barbarians are from the same lineage but different branches. At the very beginning, the Tiger Barbarians relied on the power of the two Shu kings to kill the Ping Barbarians and almost annihilate their clan.
But when Xu Mu entered Shu, he reused the Pingbarbarians. The Pingbarbarians did not disappoint him. They accumulated a lot of experience and cooperated with the Shu army. They killed the tiger barbarians and ran into the swamp, leaving only tens of thousands of them.
Not only are their belief totems different, but they also have a feud.
"Then King Pingman will follow you this time?" Pei Fu sneered.
"Should follow."
"It's the best." Pei Fu cracked his knuckles, "This time, I want to kill two people. One is Xu Thief, King of Shu, and the other is the Little Man King."
"Your Majesty, when the Shu people are defeated, remember to carry the power of victory and attack the Nanlin Mountains. In this way, great things can be expected."
"Haha, okay! This time, Jiao Wei and you are my personal strategists, ready to advise me! If we can conquer the Central Plains and occupy Shu, you and I will be the great contributors!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Jiao Wei and others said excitedly, clasping their fists.
Pei Fu smiled slightly.
Many times, the elders of the tiger barbarian tribe advised him to kill these outsiders.
But he didn't.
He knew very well that great things could not be accomplished with the bravery of the tiger barbarians alone. On the contrary, what was most indispensable was the advice of these Central Plains people. If we were to attack the Nanlin Mountains and then instigate the surrender of the soldiers...
It's opportunity.
Pei Fu exhaled, and there was anger seeping out of his eyes from time to time.
"It's been several years, but I don't know what that little thing looks like now? Has it been beaten?"
…
Shuzhou, Fuyang County.
At this time, there were many Central Plains people and Pingbarians in the county interacting with each other. You could even see a blushing Pingman guy asking the price in front of the store.
"Your Majesty, my lord is going to raise an army to attack the tiger barbarians. Let your Majesty make preparations in advance and lead the plain barbarian camp to join forces."
"I know, I know. By the way, is my dad going?"
"General Tiger should be going."
"Hey, this cheap guy, when I went to Chengdu, he used the martial arts training ground to punch me several times."
"Your Majesty, your body has become stronger and stronger in the past two years."
"I am already nineteen."
The voice fell and the figure turned around.
A face with sharp edges and corners, some dark skin, and heroic features, with a short pigtail hanging on it. On top of the short pigtail was tied a colorful silk gift from the little flower girl.
"My name is Meng Huo, and I am the barbarian king of the entire southwest!"
