"Then Thief Xu, why did he still stand still despite having gone down the mountain range?" From a wooden building deep in the swamp, Mr. Pei spoke with a reluctant expression.
According to his considerations, the Shu people were so powerful that they should take advantage of the opportunity and attack with overwhelming force. Instead of being as cunning as a fox like now, they set up camp and besieged but refused to attack.
The crocodiles that were driven away and the miasma that was collected had no effect for a while.
"Jiao Wei, do you have any idea?" Pei Fu raised his gaze and looked at a Central Plains man in front of him.
Jiao Wei hesitated for a moment and said, "I missed a plan during the last conversation...I suddenly thought that Xu Thief, King of Shu, is an extremely cautious person. He has been fighting for so many years, and he has never been radical in any way.
."
"You just remembered it now?" Pei Fu gritted his teeth. If he didn't still need these people as advisers, he would have taken action and cut off the head.
Jiao Wei touched the sweat on his forehead. In fact, when he was in Cangzhou, he was at most a small staff member. Of course, in the Human tribe, he was among the top smart ones.
"Your Majesty, since they won't come, you and I can only lure the enemy deeper."
"How to lure the enemy?"
Jiao Wei pretended to say something, but he didn't get to the point. This made Pei Fu angry and kicked him to the ground.
"You are not as good as me? What did you say before, the staff of the top three seats in Cangzhou?"
Pei Fu gritted his teeth and sat down. After thinking about it, he helped Jiao Wei up again.
"I have already made up my mind and prepared to use the method of beast charging."
"Your Majesty, Beast Charge?"
"Animals are afraid of fire, especially in humid places like swamps. If I take people with me and drive them away with fire, there will be no problem. Don't forget, my husband, Pei, is the barbarian king in the southwest."
"Your Majesty... you also know that beasts are afraid of fire. You can use fire to drive them away... Shu people can also use fire to repel beasts. If the beasts rush back, I'm afraid a disaster will come."
There are so many crocodiles in the swamps. In the past few years, if Jiao Wei alone knows, at least nearly a thousand tiger barbarians have been killed and devoured by the crocodiles. In addition, those giant pythons hiding in the muddy water are equally terrifying.
There were bog wasps, hyena swarms...
"Unless the king chooses an excellent time to take advantage of the Shu people's unpreparedness, then the beast charge can be effective."
Pei Fu rubbed his head irritably.
"If you follow my advice and go directly to fight with generals, whoever loses will die."
"Huh? Your Majesty, this is a wonderful plan!" Jiao Wei suddenly said in surprise.
"What...what did I say?"
"It's about fighting generals. As long as the king fights against generals and wins consecutive battles, the morale will be boosted, but the Shu people's morale will be low. At that time, when the Shu people's morale is low, they can launch the Beast Charge——"
Pei Fu's eyes also lit up.
"Your Majesty, do you have confidence in fighting generals?"
"Of course, I have already told you that I, husband Pei, am the barbarian king in the southwest."
Jiao Wei narrowed his eyes, "That would be the best. The king will challenge the people in the Pingman camp and provoke them with past grudges. When the time comes, I guess that Pingman little king will fight."
"If he doesn't go to war, I'm afraid his reputation as a barbarian king will be ruined."
Mr. Pei instantly smiled cruelly, "Jiao Wei, you are indeed the counselor of the top three seats in Cangzhou. This is a good plan. If I twist off Meng Huo's head with my own hands, it will definitely be a grand event for the people of my Human tribe. And Pingman
I'm afraid the tribe will suffer a big blow."
"The king is wise."
"Send the order and declare a challenge immediately!"
As the night darkened, Jiao Wei yawned and walked back to his small wooden building. When he opened the door and saw two dark-skinned tiger girls, a look of disgust appeared on his face.
"Let's go, let's go. The old lady who is the youngest Qingguan in Cangzhou is much more handsome than you."
The two girls ran out in a hurry.
Jiao Wei sighed and sat down, and suddenly felt the coldness of his bed. He quickly stood up and wanted to call someone back.
Unexpectedly, the wooden door suddenly closed.
The animal oil lamp kept shaking, and a figure in black robe stood coldly in front of him.
"Sir, he misses the Central Plains."
Jiao Wei was shocked and hurriedly opened his mouth to shout, but the man in black robe tightly covered his mouth.
"Don't shout, I'm here to help you, sir, on my master's orders."
"Your master is——"
"Xu Mu, King of Shu."
Jiao Wei's face was shocked and he froze on the spot.
…
In the early morning in the swamp, there wasn't much sunlight. The surrounding area was still cool and refreshing.
Xu Mu sat in the camp, looking at the information in his hand, and suddenly fell into deep thought.
"My lord, the tiger barbarian has sent an envoy. If you don't come out, General Tiger will pursue you and behead him."
Xu Mu was startled and walked out quickly.
Sure enough, as soon as he came out of the camp, he saw Si Hu carrying an ax and killing three or four tiger barbarian guards. The rest ran away in a hurry. The last Central Plains envoy climbed up the tree crying and saw that he was about to die.
He was about to be dragged down by Si Hu.
"Si Hu, stop."
Seeing Xu Mu, Si Hu raised his head and cursed at the Central Plains man. He was afraid of being blamed, so he hurriedly ran away.
"Envoy, envoy Zhang Xian, pays homage to the King of Shu."
"A ruined barbarian tribe wants to learn the style of the Central Plains and send envoys." Xu Mu smiled, "Besides, the gentleman is obviously from the Central Plains, so he was lucky enough to become a little barbarian dog."
Zhang Xian looked angry, but he did not dare to argue, so he had to explain his purpose.
"Your Excellency, King of Shu, my king has said that since the two armies are facing each other, why not have a battle between generals to strengthen the strength of the army."
"Not interested." Xu Mu shook his head, "Tell your king later and have his neck cleaned. I will chop off his head soon."
Zhang Xian smiled, quickly clasped his fists and left. It was just like a routine, without any ups and downs.
Xu Mu thought for a while and suddenly understood something. Sure enough, at some point, Meng Huo had already hurried over.
"My lord, there is a letter from Mr. Pei, saying that he wants to fight with me."
"Meng Huo, don't worry about it——"
"My lord, our plain barbarian tribe and the tiger barbarian tribe have been fighting for hundreds of years. My father also died in the hands of the tiger barbarians. He was skinned and thrown into the ant nest, and was bitten to death."
"Meng Huo, is dad still here?" Si Hu asked in confusion.
"Brother Tiger, I am not your father." Meng Huo raised his head and looked at Xu Mu expectantly, "My lord, how can there be two barbarian kings in this southwest area."
A plain barbarian king and a tiger barbarian king.
Xu Mu was silent for a while. He had never considered this before.
"Meng Huo, are you confident?"
"Of course there is, I screwed up the dog's head! Master, you should know that if I don't go, the morale of the entire Pingman camp will be destroyed."
The barbarians in the southwest have tough folk customs and advocate force. Although Xu Mu received a lot of education after entering Shu, these things still take time.
"Si Hu, you are Meng Huo's father, please tell me something."
"My son Meng Huo, you are my Si Hu's son, so go fight with the general and blow his head off!" Si Hu gritted his teeth.
Meng Huo raised his head, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
