Seeing the panic and uneasiness on the faces of the clan leaders, Meng You said disdainfully: "The successor of the God of Fire, isn't she just a girl from the Zhu family? She will be my sister-in-law sooner or later."
The Meng Huo brothers and Zhu Rong had played together since childhood and knew each other well. Therefore, in the eyes of other barbarians, Zhu Rong, who was full of mystery and awe-inspiring to them, in the eyes of the Meng Huo brothers, was no different from ordinary people except that he was more beautiful.
.
Meng You turned around and saw that Yang Feng looked a little worried, and quickly changed his words: "Oh, I made a mistake, I am not a sister-in-law, but one of the sisters-in-law."
Wu Tu Gu laughed loudly and said: "Second son of the Meng family, you speak in such a loud tone. Who is your sister-in-law? She is clearly Mr. Liu's sixth wife. If Mrs. Zhu hadn't been favored by Mr. Liu, she would have been flattered by him.
Pillow Wind, do you think Mr. Liu will really let me go so easily?"
As soon as he said these words, everyone nodded frequently, and it turned out that things were exactly as they expected. In fact, Liu Xin had his own reasons for letting Wu Tu Gu go, and it had nothing to do with Zhu Rong, but the barbarians didn't see it that way, especially those in the Nanzhong area
Barbarians. They had been oppressed by Han officials for a long time, so they would not believe that Liu Xin, who was in a high position, could be so kind.
Wutu Gu himself also sees it this way. He made a vow in front of Liu Xin to never betray. In addition to fear of Liu Xin's strength, a large part of it was out of awe of Zhu Rong. He didn't believe that Liu Xin was not only
Let yourself go, and also think of it
There are so many policies that are beneficial to the barbarians. In his opinion, all of this is not because Zhu Rong spoke for the barbarians, and Liu Xin only agreed to please Zhu Rong. The truly great one is Zhu Rong, who sacrificed her appearance
, using Liu Xin.
However, when Meng Huo heard the words "pillow wind", he became furious, clenched his fists, and shouted: "Wutugu, what nonsense are you talking about! How can Zhu Rong marry Liu Xin!"
Meng You hurriedly advised: "Brother, please calm down! This must be a trick played by Liu Xin, trying to use this method to deceive people and anger his brother. Does the eldest brother still remember the battle a few days ago? Zhu Rong is clearly a virgin from the barbarian family.
With my daughter’s attire, how could she have become Liu Xin’s sixth wife in just a few days? Patriarch Wutugu must have been deceived by him, brother, you can’t be fooled by him.”
Wu Tu Gu let out a "hum" and did not refute Meng You's words. He was too lazy to speak again.
After a long time, Meng Huo's clenched fists finally relaxed and he turned around and said: "Chief Mulu, I will send someone to write a challenge to Liu Xin right now. It will be up to you tomorrow!"
When Meng Huo said this, Han Sui, who was far away in Xiliang, had just received a letter of challenge. Holding the letter of challenge, Han Sui's hands were trembling slightly, and now his intestines were green with regret.
When Fan Chou came to Xiliang on Liu Xin's order, the first thing he thought of was Han Sui. Fan Chou and Han Sui were old acquaintances, and he knew Liu Xin's power, so he wanted to persuade Han Sui to surrender to Liu Xin first. But Han Sui did not.
If he doesn't think so, he believes in the dogma of "How can you be comfortable being a king when you are a slave to others", and is not willing to give in easily. Moreover, Liu Xin's policy is very clear, and anyone who surrenders must
Military power must be handed over. For a place like Xiliang that respects the strong, military power is everything. Han Sui would not let go easily if he was alone. Besides, when Dong Zhuo fought against the seventeen princes, he was at the peak of his power.
, and they couldn't do anything to him. He was still prospering in Xiliang, Dong Zhuo's hometown. How could he take Liu Xin, an "outsider", seriously?
Fan Chou's persuasion failed, so he turned to other powerful people. As a result, Ma Teng, Yang Fu, Pei Mao and others all had their eyes on Han Sui. Seeing that he was not moving, they did not move. Everywhere Fan Chou went, they were all good at drinking and drinking.
The only exception was that they neither agreed to Fan Chou's persuasion to surrender nor fell out with him. Fan Chou knew the reason, so he had to turn around and ask to see Han Sui again.
Han Sui had his own eyes and ears in Guanzhong, and when he learned that Liu Xin was in charge of Chang'an, he was really courteous to Fan Chou, but kept silent about the matter of surrendering. Unexpectedly, the good times did not last long, and news spread that Liu Xin left Chang'an and hurriedly returned to Xiangyang.
When Han Sui came over, he immediately turned his face.
When Han Sui thought about it, Chang'an was the capital of a country and the center of the country. Liu Xin did not stay there, but hurriedly returned to Xiangyang. Obviously something important happened in Xiangyang, and maybe there was something wrong with his rear. Since
There was a problem in Liu Xin's rear. Naturally, he had no spare power to deal with Xiliang, at least in a short period of time. So why did he need to look at Fan Chou's face? How did he know that Liu Xin himself
He went back to Xiangyang, but he appointed Jia Xu as the general manager of Liangzhou, commanding 60,000 infantry in two legions, plus 13,000 elite cavalry, and was preparing to deal with him.
At this time, Han Sui made a fatal mistake. Even if you don't want to see Fan Chou's face, just drive him away. The worst is to put him under house arrest. As a result, Han Sui didn't miss Fan Chou's old friendship with him at all.
Instead, she felt that he was nagging in her ears all day long and aroused her sexual desire, so she killed Fan Chou with a single blow and had Fan Chou's head sent to Xiaoguan.
Of course Han Sui did this to establish his prestige among the heroes in Xiliang. After all, with the destruction of Dong Zhuo Group, there was a certain power vacuum in Xiliang, and he was very determined to fill this vacuum. However, he
But he never thought that his move would be a naked challenge to Liu Xin.
Jia Xu was discussing with Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong to find a suitable reason to attack Han Sui. Unexpectedly, Han Sui actually presented the opportunity to him. Jia Xu had the sword given by Liu Xin and could represent Liu Xin with full authority.
Xin dealt with Liangzhou's affairs and made a decisive decision, ordering an all-out attack on Han Sui.
Han Sui didn't expect Liu Xin's men and horses to arrive so quickly, so he rushed to the battle and lost three battles in a row. His generals Cheng Yin and Li Kan were killed successively. As a last resort, Han Sui sent Yang Qiu to ask Ma Teng for help.
Although Ma Teng and Han Sui were sworn brothers, they got along at times. Ma Teng's wife and young son also died at the hands of Han Sui. After receiving Han Sui's letter for help, Ma Teng laughed out loud and almost did not hesitate.
, he ordered Yang Qiu to be tied up, and personally took General Pang De with him, escorted Yang Qiu to Xiaoguan, handed him over to Jia Xu, and expressed his intention to give up military power and let Liu Xin send him.
Jia Xu comforted Ma Teng with kind words and asked him to temporarily return to his original place to garrison until he reported to Liu Xin to make other arrangements. At the same time, he ordered Yang Qiu to be beheaded, and his head was handed over to Pang De to be sent to the army for orders.
De stayed in Zhang Fei's tent and listened to his advice.
Seeing Yang Qiu's head, Han Sui's army was distraught and suffered another defeat, killing generals Liang Xing and Ma Wan. Knowing that the situation was over, Han Sui sent Zhang Hengheng and Huang Zhong to ask for surrender, but Huang Zhong refused and beat Zhang Heng severely.
Dun hurried back. Han Sui had no choice but to dare to fight, but he was defeated again. Zhang Heng and the candidate were all taken prisoner.
Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong were not willing to give up. Although they released the candidate, they asked him to bring back Zhang Heng's head and another letter of challenge.
Han Sui took the letter of challenge and looked at the candidate next to him, Cheng Yi. When he was at his most powerful, he had eight generals and nearly 100,000 troops. Who knows, only half a month later, now
There were only these two people left under his command, and there were more than 10,000 soldiers. He couldn't help but lamented, raised his head and asked, "What did Yang Fu, Pei Mao and the others say?"
Cheng Yi cupped his hands and said: "Back to my lord, they are not willing to send troops to help."
Han Sui slammed the letter of challenge to the ground and said angrily: "Don't these two idiots even understand the meaning of death? If I lose, Liu Xin will deal with them next.
"
Cheng Yi said with a strange look on his face: "Back to my lord, of course they understand the truth of lip death and teeth cold, and the general has made it clear to them. But they don't think that they and their lord are in a mutually dependent relationship, so now they all follow Ma Teng's example,
He went to Liu Xin."
Han Sui couldn't help but be stunned and murmured: "I didn't expect that even they would defect to Liu Xin."
Cheng Yi said sadly: "Not only them, but other powerful people also took the initiative to show their kindness to Liu Xin. I heard that Pei Mao also took Li Jue and Guo Bin, who had been hiding with him, to Xiaoguan. Now, the leaders of these two people
The level is hung under the tower of Xiaoguan."
Hearing that Li Jue and Guo Si were dead, Han Sui suddenly remembered something and said: "Dong Zhuo and Liu Xin had a fierce battle at Sanguan, and they also sent people to recruit Han and Ma Teng's troops, but I
When they arrived at Xiaoguan, they had already heard the news of Dong Zhuo's defeat, so they had to lead the army back. But I heard that Dong Zhuo also recruited Qiang soldiers and Huns soldiers, why don't we ask them for help?"
The candidate cupped his hands and said: "It turns out that my lord doesn't know that the various tribes of the Qiang people are busy building shrines. How can they send troops to help us?"
Han Sui asked strangely: "Build a temple for students? Who should we build a temple for?"
Hou Xuan smiled bitterly and said: "Liu Xin let Beigong Boyu go. After Beigong Boyu came back, he praised Liu Xin's kindness everywhere. He also mobilized the whole clan to build a shrine for him and worship him at all times. How can the Qiang people do it now?
Help us? It’s already a good thing if they don’t come to attack us.”
Han Sui refused to give up and asked repeatedly: "If the Qiang people can't do it, what about the Huns? They help Dong Zhuo, but they are also enemies with Liu Xin."
Hou Xuan sighed: "After Liu Bao's defeat, he fled back to the Southern Xiongnu. In the past, the power of the Southern Xiongnu was in the hands of Liu Bao. This time, when news of his defeat came back, Xubu Gudu Hou Shanyu took the opportunity to take it back.
Power. Now Liu Bao has gathered his old troops and is fighting fiercely with Xubu Guduhou there. The Huns have too much time to take care of themselves, so how can they spare their hands to help us."
Han Sui was stunned for a moment, then swept the bamboo slips on several cases to the ground, and sighed: "That's it, that's it, we can't defeat you, and you can't surrender, so there are only thirty-six strategies, so taking action is the best option.
"
Cheng Yi took a step forward and said, "My lord, does he want to escape to another place? How can these many people hide this from others."
Han Sui frowned and scolded angrily: "Who said that we should take so many people with us? Just you and me, a dozen followers, collect some gold and silver, and go to the Western Regions."
Cheng Yi Weiwei stepped back and looked at the candidate with a trace of cruelty in their eyes.
