Chapter five hundred and sixty seventh perfect plan
Meng Jie came out and said: "Shu Lord, if I guess correctly, this person is King Mulu, the owner of Bana Cave in the southwest of Yinkeng Cave. Ba Na Cave has always been friendly with Yinkeng Cave. I think it is because Meng Meng came here this time.
After being defeated, he came out to help.
King Mulu is mediocre in martial arts, but he is gifted with miraculous abilities. He knows how to control animals. He can control two hundred beasts, five hundred snakes and scorpions, and he can also control birds. He should not be underestimated."
"Is there really such a miraculous person?"
Liu Zhang was pondering, and suddenly thought of the girl from the Western Regions. After careful consideration, he realized that from the first night when the girl fled in panic, Wang Xu's soldiers were bitten by venomous snakes. Later, Yangping Pass defended the enemy, and Ma Chao's army was also trapped by venomous bees.
Later in the Di Ren Valley, the girl tried to escape, but Di Ren chased her. Even Di Ren, who had been dealing with snakes and scorpions since childhood, was bitten.
The most amazing thing is that during a gambling game in Qiang Village, the girl was bitten by a deadly venomous centipede and survived, but the Di man was bitten to death on the spot by a small snake she brought with her.
Now that I think about it, the girl was probably not poisoned at all. She pretended to be poisoned in order to lure Liu Zhang to help him collect herbs and take the opportunity to escape. With his own connivance, he succeeded.
Putting these facts together, I didn't think anything of it at first. I just thought it was a coincidence. I didn't believe that anyone in the world could control all kinds of beasts. Now it seems that with this Mulu King, the girl is probably the same type of person. She can
Controlling snakes, scorpions, bees and butterflies.
But the girl is more powerful than King Mulu. According to what Meng Jie said, King Mulu’s tigers, leopards, wolves, snakes, and scorpions should all be domesticated by him, but the girl can use local materials, even in the winter covered with heavy snow.
It's really unbelievable to call a snake out of the ground.
"This King Mulu can control all kinds of beasts and birds, and with the help of ferocious beasts, our army will suffer heavy losses if we rush into battle before the battle. How can we defeat him?"
Yang Feng's black armor was stained with a lot of mud. He was a little embarrassed, but he did not lose his heroic spirit. He stepped forward and said: "Shu Lord, King Mulu not only has an army of ferocious beasts, but also 30,000 elites, who are as powerful as I am in Yinye Cave in the west."
They are evenly matched, plus the tens of thousands of armies of Meng Huo and King Duosi are difficult to defeat. I suggest you capture a city first. As a place to garrison, Xu will plan later."
"What city?"
"Sanjiang City."
Liu Zhang pondered for a while: "Okay, first attack Sanjiang City as a place to stay, and then fight with King Mulu. In addition, please invite military advisors to Sanjiang City."
Two months have passed, and Huang Yueying's body should be almost recovered. Liu Zhang is really not used to it without Huang Yueying by his side.
…………
Sanjiang City is the largest city in the barbarian area. It was built by Ma Yuan when he attacked. It was originally intended to integrate the southwestern barbarians. However, after Emperor Guangwu, the Eastern Han Dynasty no longer had the intention to expand externally, and it gradually fell into disuse. It was occupied by the barbarian army and became a barbarian city.
District's own trading place.
After the Meng family led their children to Yinkengdong a hundred years ago, they occupied Sanjiang City. In addition, Yinkengdong was rich in silver mines. The Meng family rose rapidly, and Sanjiang City became the gateway to Yinkengdong.
Sanjiang. It is the intersection of Lushui River, Gannan River, Xicheng River and Sanlu River. Sanjiang City is located at the intersection. On every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, barbarians would trade things here.
Liu Zhang led an army of 100,000 to the foot of Sanjiang City, breaking the tranquility here. The barbarians, who had not seen the Han army for two hundred years, suddenly panicked and closed their markets one after another. Menghuo sent King Duosi and King Mulu to guard Sanjiang City.
Retreating into Yinkengdong, they gathered their troops and strengthened King Duosi and King Mulu, preparing to fight a protracted war with the Sichuan army.
Liu Zhang and his generals went up the mountain to inspect the city's defenses. They couldn't help but be shocked. On the way there, they thought the so-called largest city in the wilderness must be so majestic and tall. The city was high and the pond was deep, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Only then did I see ruins and broken walls everywhere. The city wall, which was originally only less than two feet tall, had gaps everywhere. I guess the barbarians had taken over the city and it had not been repaired since two hundred years ago.
The barbarian soldiers stood on it and saw no tools for defending the city. They probably just stabbed them with barbarian knives.
Huang Zhong laughed loudly: "Lord, leave this abandoned city to your subordinates and build siege equipment in three days. We will attack this city within two days."
"Old General Huang, please don't be careless." Yang Feng said: "King Duosi is known as the wisest man in our wilderness, and he is not in vain. His subordinates once heard that King Duosi took rare materials from the mountains and made a hundred hard crossbows. Each crossbow can
Shoot ten arrows and use them to defend the city. They are extremely powerful."
Liu Zhang and the Sichuan army generals looked over from a distance. Sure enough, there were some crossbow racks arranged in the gaps on the city wall. From a distance, they were not very clear. If these fuzzy things can really fire ten arrows at a time, it would be really amazing. King Duosi's
The level of creation is no less than Huang Yueying and Ma Jun.
"That's okay." Deng Zhi said: "This city is so low and has many gaps. Even if there are hard crossbows to defend the city, we only need to build up the earth to fill the city, and the city will be destroyed."
The generals asked for orders one after another, and Liu Zhang said: "You generals are wise and brave, but..." Liu Zhang put his hand on his forehead, "I want to keep this city. If we attack hard, this city will be completely destroyed.
"
Sanjiang City is said to be a city, but in fact it is nothing more than a remote county town in Han District, or even a town surrounded by walls. If the Sichuan army rushes in to fight the barbarian army, the barbarian trading stalls, shops, and residential buildings inside will be destroyed.
If everything is clean, it will be difficult for Sanjiang City to recover.
Liu Zhang needs this city, and even Liu Zhang needs more cities. As long as the barbarians can be urbanized, it is already a big step in control. Keep Sanjiang City, garrison here like Dong Qingyi, and open mutual trade with the barbarians.
, which raised the status of Sanjiang City among the barbarians. As a base for the Han army, its effect on assimilating the barbarians was almost the same as that of Wudao Enzheng.
If possible, Liu Zhang hoped that Sanjiang City could be preserved, even if it was an old city that had not been repaired for hundreds of years.
"It will be difficult to retain the city. If the army enters Sanjiang City and fights the barbarians, life will inevitably be ruined unless the barbarians can surrender, but that is impossible."
All the generals were silent.
If the barbarian army does not surrender, they can only fight hard. If they can find another way to attack Sanjiang City by surprise, the barbarian army will be in chaos in an instant and the city will not be destroyed.
But where to find the second way?
Liu Zhang asked someone to take out a map of the Sanjiang City area and looked at it carefully. There was no other way through.
Liu Zhang's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked Meng Jie: "Sir, are you familiar with the terrain in this area? Is there a place called Coiled Snake Valley?"
"Coiling Snake Valley?" Meng Jie thought for a while: "It seems that there really is such a place. I heard someone mention it when I was a child. It is probably in the south of Sanjiang City. How did Lord Shu know about it?"
Zhuge Liang burned the rattan armor soldiers in Panshe Valley. At that time, the natives said, "The front of the valley is called Talangdian, and out of the valley, there is the main road of Sanjiang City."
In other words, as long as you find this place, you can detour to the south of Sanjiang City. According to the natives, this road is not that difficult as when Zhuge Liang used his troops. It's just that the Coiling Snake Valley area is more hidden. If you send people to search, you will definitely find it.
.
Liu Zhang immediately sent Bao'er, Huahai'er, Samoko and other Wuxi barbarian generals, as well as Yang Feng's troops, into dozens of groups to search the Panshe Valley area in the south. The self-reunion army drowned under Sanjiang City.
King Duosi and King Mulu have a clear division of labor. As the "first wise man in the barbarian area", King Duosi is of course responsible for strategizing and defending the city against enemies. King Mulu has an army of beasts under his command and goes out to fight in the city.
Hearing that the Sichuan army was approaching, King Mulu grunted and said, "Liu Zhang, are you looking for death? You treat my army of ferocious beasts like nothing, so I'm going to show him how powerful I am."
King Mulu rode an elephant and led his 30,000 barbarian troops out of the city. Tigers, leopards, wolves, snakes, scorpions and beasts made heart-shaking roars in front of the formation.
If the general army saw this, they would definitely panic, but the Sichuan army was at Yangping Pass, and they saw the scene of 200,000 Xiliang cavalry riding at the same time. At this time, they were mentally prepared and did not panic. The Wuxi Army and Yang Feng's barbarian army saw the Sichuan Army.
His expression remained as usual, and his mind gradually stabilized.
Among the barbarian army, King Mulu rode out on a white elephant. He was very gorgeous with jewels and jewels. Even the elephant was covered with gold paper. He looked down at the Sichuan army from a high position. He had a big knife on his left and right waist and a hand-held clock. At first glance,
...astonishing.
"Wuda, Liu Zhang, my son, invaded my territory without any reason. Today I want you to see the power of my King Mulu."
King Mulu sat high on the war elephant, looking with disdain at Liu Zhang, who was half the size of himself and a man shorter than himself on a war horse with his big copper-bell eyes.
"King Wu Na Mulu, don't be so arrogant. Do you dare to fight me, Huang Zhong, for three hundred rounds?" Huang Zhong stepped out of the queue, raised his sword and shouted.
"Hahahahahaha." King Mulu looked up to the sky and laughed: "Old man, are you trying to make me laugh to death? A fierce battle is what a reckless man would do. How can I, King Mulu, be so gentle and polite as to do such vulgar things?"
King Mulu laughed and laughed. The bell in his hand was vibrated, making a clear ringing sound. In front of the formation, the wolves, insects, tigers and leopards all grinned hoarsely and roared incessantly.
"Brother Mulu." Meng Jie stepped forward: "Brother Mulu, my little brother Meng Jie, do you remember our old friends?"
"Eldest Young Master?" King Mulu was sitting proudly on the tall elephant. When he saw Meng Jie, his face suddenly fell: "Eldest Young Master, as Young Master Yinkengdong and the eldest brother of King Meng Huo,
Why are you in the enemy's camp? I can't even launch an attack with confidence if you are like this. If my darlings don't bite Liu Zhang to death, they will also bite you to death. It will be difficult for me, brother. Come here quickly."
"Brother Mulu, I know you came to help my brother because Banadong and Yinkengdong have been friendly for generations. Meng Jie is very grateful for saving my Yinkengdong from fire and water."
Meng Jie bowed to King Mulu.
"But now Meng Huo has betrayed his father and is treasonous. He cannot lead Yinhangdong at all. If Brother Mulu really cares about the friendship between Banadong and Yinhangdong from generation to generation, he should join me to capture this unscrupulous man Meng Huo."
Disciple, Brother Mulu, please don’t do bad things with good intentions.”
King Mulu was silent. Meng Huo killed his father and claimed the throne. He knew it. King Mulu was also uncomfortable with this. However, Yinkengdong and Banadong had been friends for generations and had many in-laws, so they supported each other. Now that the deal is done
, you can’t let friendship be ruined by your own hands. (To be continued)
