Obviously, Lu Kai put a lot of effort into this defense map in the past two days. Not only did he mark the location and strength of each camp, but also the surrounding environment, where there are woods and where there are rivers, were clearly marked. If he had
It is correct to note that relying on this map alone, whether it is a fire attack, flooding, or camp hijacking, as long as it is properly coordinated, these two hundred thousand troops can be wiped out in the blink of an eye.
Of course, with Liu Xin's current military talent, it is impossible for him to think so carefully, but as long as he hands this defense map to Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and the others, he doesn't need to use his brain at all, and everything will be arranged in an orderly manner.
.
Liu Xin subconsciously turned her head and glanced at Zhu Rong, only to see her frowning and her face full of worry. After getting along with her for the past two days, Liu Xin and her could be said to have the same mind. Naturally, he understood what she was worried about and couldn't help but worry.
He took her hand, patted it twice, turned to Lu Kai and said: "Master Lu, Liu believes in your sincerity. In this way, after the war in Nanzhong subsides, you can choose one of the four counties.
If you don't want to stay in Nanzhong, you can also go to Xiangyang or Chengdu to serve as the prefect. However, from now on, as the prefect, you will only care about the people and not the army. You have to think clearly about your choice."
Lu Kaiyuan only hoped to keep his position as the governor of Jianning, and had no extravagant hope of continuing to command the army. Hearing Liu Xin's words, he was overjoyed and immediately fell to the ground and kowtowed: "I am willing to die to serve the lord.
But if there are any missions, it all depends on the master's orders, and the subordinates dare not pick and choose."
"What a picky person!" Liu Xin laughed loudly and raised his hand and said, "Lu Kai, please get up. This is a good defense painting. Leave it with me for now and I will take care of it. You can go back quickly during the night to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Arouse their suspicion. Remember, no matter what happens, you must restrain your troops and stay as still as possible. The most important thing is to protect yourself first. I don't want to see any accidents happen to you and your people."
Lu Kai did not expect that Liu Xin's first concern was his safety. He was grateful, stood up and said with his hands in his hands: "I have one more thing to report. There is a man named Mulu in the South-Chinese Allied Forces, who claims to have another special force. No,
The day is approaching. Although my subordinates don’t know what kind of strange army that one is, my lord must be on guard against it.”
"Mu Lu?" Liu Xin pondered for a moment, remembering that he was Hou Qinu's old master, he already had a suspicion in his mind, and said with a smile, "If I am right, his so-called surprise soldiers are just jackals, tigers and leopards.
That's all, I have my own way of dealing with it, so you don't need to worry. If they raise troops again, you can excuse yourself from illness and just defend your camp to avoid accidental damage."
Liu Xin secretly laughed. The tigers, leopards and wolves in Mulu's hands were all tamed and tamed by Hou Qinu for him. Now that he was Hou Qinu's master, should he still be afraid?
Although Lu Kai was doubtful about Liu Xin's words, he was really moved when he saw that Liu Xin always thought about his people first, and he gradually understood that Liu Xin's achievements today were not all due to luck.
Liu Xin saw Lu Kai accepted the promise and was about to leave when she suddenly stopped him, pointed at Zhu Rong and said, "Lu Kai, do you know who she is?"
When Lu Kai first entered the big tent, he estimated that this woman was close to Liu Xin and had some affectionate behaviors from time to time, so he didn't dare to look at her. Now when he heard Liu Xin's inquiry, he shook his head blankly and said, "I don't know, my subordinates."
.”
Zhu Rong looked at Liu Xin in confusion, not sure what he wanted to ask Lu Kai. But he heard Liu Xin say: "Lu Kai, she is the eldest daughter of the Zhu family of the barbarians and the descendant of the barbarian guardian god Vulcan. Now
, she also has another identity, she is Liu’s sixth wife.”
Lu Kai was shocked. He had served in Nanzhong for many years and naturally knew about the situation of the barbarians. He had also heard some legends about Zhu Rong. If even she sided with Liu Xin, what else would there be in this battle?
Liu Dan and Meng Huo will definitely lose. This is not what surprised Lu Kai the most. What really surprised him was that Liu Xin actually married Zhu Rong. You must know that in that era, the Han people paid attention to orthodoxy, unless they were poor and destitute.
Very few people would marry foreign women. There are several beautiful barbarian women in Lu Kai’s family. No matter how beautiful, gentle, and capable these women are, Lu Kai will only treat them as dolls, but will not accept them.
Wives and concubines. Judging from the fact that Liu Xin married Zhu Rong, Liu Xin was already determined to win Nanzhong. Lu Kai couldn't help but secretly feel grateful for his wise choice.
Liu Xin didn't know what he was thinking, so he continued: "Lu Kai, when you go back this time, you can make some insinuations to understand the intentions of the other county guards and tribe leaders, and you might as well reveal the story of the successor to the God of Fire.
After all, human life is at stake, and Liu is not willing to go into war unless absolutely necessary, but if anyone persists, Liu will not be merciful!"
When Lu Kai exited the tent, he realized that he was breaking out in a cold sweat. In fact, Liu Xin had always been gentle when talking to him, but when he said the last sentence, the sharp look in his eyes made him shudder. Although it was already
He felt that Liu Xin was not as simple as it appeared on the surface, but Lu Kai was still determined in his choice. If nothing else, just by his one trip in the rain tonight, he knew that the South-Chinese Allied Forces were definitely not the Han Army.
The opponent. This autumn rain is not too heavy, but it is just a little annoying. There are not many soldiers on patrol around the camp of the South-Chinese Allied Forces. However, the Han army camp has open posts and hidden posts, but there is no slack in the patrols.
Although the nominal leader of the South-Chinese Allied Forces was Liu Dan, Liu Xin did not take him seriously. It was Meng Huo who really attracted Liu Xin's attention.
From the chat with Zhu Rong, Liu Xin could see that Meng Huo was not just a crude and reckless guy as he appeared. Compared to the simple Zhu Rong, Meng Huo was quite scheming. He had been deliberately getting close to him since he was a child.
Zhu Rong, if Liu Xin hadn't interfered three years ago, he would have won the beauty back long ago. If Zhu Rong married Meng Huo, then with the strength of the Zhu and Meng families and Zhu Rong's reputation among the barbarians, Meng Huo
If you get it, you can naturally become the leader of the barbarians.
Liu Xin turned her head and glanced at Zhu Rong, seeing that the worry on her face had been replaced by joy, she couldn't help but joked: "Why, don't you worry that I will use this defense map to wipe out all your people? When the time comes, your childhood sweetheart
Meng Huo will definitely not be able to escape."
"Humph, who is his childhood sweetheart?" Zhu Rong glanced at him angrily and suddenly smiled, "Oh, I understand. I heard the ladies say, what is this called? Yes, jealousy! You must be jealous.
Ge Ge Ge…”
Liu Xin didn't expect that her fault would be turned on him. His old face turned red and he said angrily: "Who is jealous? To tell you the truth, I am going to give this defense map to Fengxiao, Zilong and others, so that they can
Study it carefully."
"Ah!" The smile on Zhu Rong's face disappeared instantly. He grabbed Liu Xin's arm tightly, shook it, and begged repeatedly: "Brother, you promised me, but you can't be so cruel to my people.
Hands."
Liu Xin laughed and said: "Who told you to say that I am jealous, then I will be very jealous. Ah, ah, I murdered my husband..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Rong's pink fists had already rained down on him.
Of course, Liu Xin cannot kill the Nanzhong Allied Forces. He wants to take all the four counties of Nanzhong into his own territory, but if this area is taken, someone will need to build it in the future. He doesn't want what he gets.
A deserted open space. In recent years, due to road congestion, Zhu Rong no longer knows much about the situation in the four counties of Nanzhong. But as the eldest daughter of the Zhu family, she has visited the barbarian tribes in Nanzhong many times in the past, at least
She still knows the situation in Nanzhong three years ago.
In addition, in the early stage, Jushou also sent people to understand some situations. Taken together, Liu Xin can conclude that the population of the entire four counties of Nanzhong is only about one million, of which the majority are barbarians. The road congestion in recent years has had a great impact on Han officials and barbarians.
For the clan leader, it may not have much impact, but for ordinary people, whether barbarians or Han people, life will definitely become more difficult, and the population growth will be slower, and even negative growth is not impossible. This means that the coalition forces on the opposite side will
The 200,000 troops in the camp included almost all the young and strong men from the four counties of Nanzhong.
Under this situation, even without the plea of Zhu Rong, the descendant of the patron saint of the barbarians, Liu Xin would not have been able to massacre the Nanzhong coalition forces. Otherwise, even if he captured the four counties of Nanzhong, only the old, weak, women and children would be left there.
The population growth will be even slower. Without enough labor force, it will be very difficult for the four counties of Nanzhong to develop, which may drag down the entire Han Dynasty. Of course, Liu Xin can also choose to forcibly move people from other places to Nanzhong.
to increase the population there. However, if he really does this, he will lose the support of a large number of people, lose the hearts of the people, and he will also lose the basis for fighting for the world. Therefore, it is impossible for Liu Xin to do this
of.
However, just because Liu Xin is not prepared to wipe out the entire South-Chinese Allied Forces in one fell swoop does not mean that the defense map sent by Lu Kai is really useless. Liu Xin is still prepared to hand this map to Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and the others. Because Liu Xin
Xin had already made up his mind to crack down resolutely on some die-hards in the South-Chinese Allied Forces. For example, Meng Huo, Liu Xin was not going to let him go, and even the entire Meng family, Liu Xin wanted to divide him into several groups.
A small tribe, or simply let the Meng family be removed from the barbarian tribes. This is not a difficult task. The Meng family has gathered 30,000 young and strong men here. As long as they are eliminated, the remaining old men of the Meng family can be eliminated.
The weak women and children were divided into other tribes, and from then on there was no Meng family anymore.
"Brother, I actually know that you won't kill my people." Zhu Rong saw that Liu Xin did not dodge under his beating, but was just silently lost in thought. He couldn't help but stop and shook Liu Xin's shoulders.
Be coquettish.
Liu Xin pinched her elastic waist and asked with a smile: "Oh, I would like to hear how you know that I won't be cruel."
Zhu Rong just made a punch, thinking that he was a little tired, so he naturally snuggled into Liu Xin's arms, flashed his big eyes, and said: "You just told Lu Kai about my identity, and you wanted to use this to conquer me.
Tribesmen, try to reduce their casualties as much as possible. Haha, in this case, you have broken your promise again. You said you would not take advantage of me."
After a pause, Zhu Rong said shyly: "However, I am willing to be used by you."
