Since he proclaimed himself the King of Dayue, he confidently raised troops to the north, but was defeated by Yan Liang again and again.
After one battle after another, he had killed at least 70,000 to 80,000 Nanzhong barbarian soldiers. Almost all of Nanzhong's fighting men had been wiped out.
That's all for the dead and wounded soldiers. Previously, his daughter was captured by Yan Liang, and now his wife is captured by Yan Liang.
When he thought that his wife and daughter would be possessed by Yan Liang and humiliated wantonly, Meng Huo felt that there were countless sharp knives stabbing him in the chest.
Where is the dignity of King Dai Viet!
Meng Huo was so ashamed and angry that he wanted to tear Yan Liang into pieces, but now that his 20,000 troops had been wiped out, he only had 10,000 troops left. He was so angry that he couldn't do anything to capture Yan Liang.
In the midst of his anger, Yong Kai heard the news and rushed to the lobby.
When he saw the tragic situation, he was shocked and asked what happened.
He could only feel disgraced and repeat the painful experience he had suffered.
"I didn't expect that Yan Liang was so cunning that our army fell into his trick again." After Yong Kai sighed, he sneered: "However, Yan Liang's good days as a bastard have come to an end. From now on, even if
No matter how he plots, it will be useless. The overall situation has been decided, and the king will win without a doubt."
The overall situation has been decided and victory is certain!
After hearing these eight words and looking at Yong Kai's confident expression, Meng Huo, who was in a gloomy mood, seemed to see hope, and his eyes suddenly brightened.
"Prime Minister, listen to your tone. Could it be..." Meng Huo's face was full of excitement.
Yongkai cupped his hands and smiled and said: "Your Majesty's expectation is good. The owner of Ugowutugu Cave has led 30,000 Tengjia troops to Xindao. They are not far from the city now. I am here just to invite you to visit me."
Welcome those protruding bones."
The Tengjia Army, which has been waiting for a long time, has finally arrived!
Meng Huo's fleshy face was instantly filled with ecstasy, as if a dying man had grasped a life-saving straw. He was so excited that he almost jumped up.
In the blink of an eye, Meng Huo forgot about the capture of his wife and daughter, and immediately led a group of soldiers including Yong Kai to go out to the west gate to greet them.
Although Wutugu were barbarians from the south, they were not Meng Huo's vassals because they were located in the extreme south and were not among the seven counties.
Now the Tengjia Army has come to assist in the battle. It was at Meng Huo's invitation, not his edict, so Meng Huo wanted to treat him with courtesy and greet him personally.
Outside Zhuma City, Meng Huo raised his eyes and looked into the distance. After a while, he saw a flag covering the sky coming slowly.
Not long after, a huge army slowly came into view.
Thirty thousand barbarian troops wearing rattan armor came in huge numbers, and their ferocity was even better than that of the barbarians from the seven counties in Nanzhong.
After a while, the army gradually approached, and a black flag rushed towards Meng Huo's place. The barbarian commander riding a horse under the flag was none other than Wu Tu Gu.
Meng Huo was originally a barbarian and described the costume as weird, but when he saw the protruding bones clearly, Meng Huo couldn't help but gasp.
But I saw that the protruding bone was two feet long and extremely huge. The dark purple vine armor seemed to be crawling around the body. His ferocious face was even tattooed with strange textures. At first glance, it looked like the one in the painting.
Like a fierce ghost, it is extremely terrifying.
"I have heard the name of the cave master for a long time, and I am really honored to meet him today." Meng Huo did not dare to pretend to be a king, so he walked forward with a smile.
The protruding bone also returned the courtesy and smiled slightly, revealing a pair of serious white teeth.
Meng Huo then asked Wutugu General Tengjia's army to camp outside the city first, and asked him to ride with him and enter the city together to discuss.
Entering the palace hall, the guests and hosts sat down.
Na Wu Tu Gu said: "After receiving the invitation from the king, I immediately ordered 30,000 troops and came day and night to assist in the battle. I should have arrived in time."
Meng Huo sighed and told Wu Tu Gu how his wife had fallen into Yan Liang's plan and how tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were defeated in An Shang.
"This Yan Liang is really hateful. He dares to kill my Nanzhong warrior like this. Don't worry, Your Majesty. Now that our Tengjia Army has arrived, no matter how tricky Yan Liang is, he will be useless. Your Majesty, I, Wu Tu Gu, are here to avenge you."
yes."
Wu Tu Gu spoke eloquently and did not take Yan Liang into his eyes at all.
Meng Huo was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Wutu Gu again and again, and asked Wutu Gu when he could march into the army.
Wutu Gu said: "Our army has been traveling for days, and our soldiers are a little tired. We need to rest for two days before we can advance."
"Very good. It's time for the soldiers to recharge their batteries. In this city of Xindao, there are hundreds of Han women. They are all fair-skinned and beautiful. I will give these women to the cave master to comfort him.
The officers and men of the Tengjia Army." Meng Huo even said generously.
When Wu Tu Gu heard that a Han woman could enjoy the favor, he was very happy and immediately thanked Meng Huo.
The two barbarian commanders chatted happily and immediately decided on a plan to defeat Yan Liang together.
The poor people in Xindao City fell into the humiliation of the barbarians again.
…
Anshangdu, South Bank.
Zhu Rong was defeated, and his 20,000-strong army was wiped out. The man who had his arm cut off took the cave owner and fled back to the south bank. He did not dare to stay any longer, so he had to abandon the south bank camp and fled to Xindao City with more than a thousand remaining soldiers.
The enemy camp was empty and the Yan family was no longer in a position to stop them. Tens of thousands of Yan troops were able to successfully cross the river and reach the south bank.
From here to Xindao City, it is a smooth road.
Meng Huo, the evil-doing barbarian leader, was just dozens of miles away. The Battle of Pingnan had reached its final moments. As long as Meng Huo was destroyed, the soldiers could turn back north and fight the real powerful enemy Cao Cao.
The excited generals asked their lord to fight one after another, hoping to take advantage of An's great victory to immediately march westward and annihilate Meng Huo in one fell swoop.
However, Yan Liang was not in a hurry to advance the army, because Xi Zuo had received intelligence from Xindao City. On the second day after he and his family crossed the river, a barbarian reinforcement force of more than 30,000 people had arrived in Xindao City.
Yan Liang knew that the barbarian army was the Tengjia Army that Zhu Rong and the others were proud of.
In the big tent, the generals were in high spirits, and they all generously asked for battle.
Yan Liang turned his attention to Li Hui and asked: "De'ang, do you know that among the Yi armies in the south, there is a troop called the Tengjia Army?"
"Tengjia Army?" Li Hui was stunned for a moment and then said: "When Hui was in Jianning, he indeed heard from businessmen going south that there was a Yi commander named Wu Tu Gu in the south of the seven counties.
All the people under his command are wearing rattan armor. It is said that if this armor is worn on the body, it will not sink when crossing a river, it will not be wetted by water, and it is not as powerful as swords and arrows. It is very miraculous."
Sure enough, Yan Liang nodded slightly, as if he had a confirmation in his heart.
Li Hui's eyes suddenly changed and he said in surprise: "My lord, could it be that Meng Huo's supporting troops are the Tengjia Army? Is that why my lord is worried and delayed in entering Xindao City?"
"Yes, the people who brought and Zhu Rong the day before yesterday said that Meng Huo will have the Tengjia Army available. Now let's look at the rewards carefully, and what you said, De'ang, I am convinced that Meng Huo's support troops are none other than the Tengjia Army."
Yan Liang nodded.
After hearing these words, Li Hui was eager to fight, but immediately fell silent, with a look of fear in his eyes.
But the other generals, when they heard about this magical rattan armor army, were quite disdainful.
Pound snorted coldly: "This vine armor is probably made of tree vines. No matter how hard it is, it can't be as hard as iron armor, and how can it be invulnerable. My lord, I think this is just a rumor among the barbarians, and I don't care about it at all."
"
Pang De did not take the Tengjia Army seriously, and the other generals such as Huang Zhong and Gan Ning were also very disdainful.
On the contrary, the newly surrendered Shu generals such as Li Yan and Zhang Ren were much calmer at this time. It seemed that as Shu people, they were half-trusting of the Tengjia Army spread in Nanzhong.
Yan Liang vaguely remembered that in history, when Zhuge Liang was pacifying the Southern Barbarians, he encountered the Tengjia Army.
Originally, Yan Liang did not believe that there was any Tengjia that was inferior to swords and arrows, but after the former saw the legendary War Elephant Army, Yan Liang concluded that the Tengjia Army was not in vain. If he was as careless as the generals, he would definitely
Suffer a big loss.
"It is Chuangu's order that from tomorrow, the army will return to the north bank and withdraw its troops." Yan Liang suddenly gave the order to withdraw his troops.
The generals were shocked, thinking that now they were in a position to win, but their lord ordered the withdrawal of troops without any reason.
When all the generals were surprised, Yan Liang ordered again: "Where is Li Zhengfang?"
"The general is here." Li Yan hurriedly came out of the queue.
Yan Liang said in a deep voice: "Gu ordered you to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to the rear. If the barbarians attack, you should fight and retreat until Gu gives you the latest order."
"General, obey the order." Li Yan was busy complying with the order, but he was full of doubts and couldn't help but ask: "Forgive me for speaking frankly, why does Meng Huo withdraw his troops and return to the north before his lord is killed? If he wants to withdraw his troops and return to the north,
When the whole army is gone, why do we want to keep the weak generals and fight and then retreat?"
Li Yan's doubts were also the doubts of the generals. All the generals looked at Yan Liang eagerly, hoping that their lord could give him a reasonable explanation.
Yan Liang sneered and asked: "Zhengfang, I can't answer your question. When did I say I would let Meng Huo go?"
Li Yan was stunned for a moment and said blankly: "If my lord didn't intend to let Meng Huo go, why did he withdraw his troops?"
"The Tengjia Army must not be underestimated. If we don't deal with this powerful enemy, how can we destroy Meng Huo? The retreat is actually a retreat in order to advance." The corner of Yan Liang's mouth raised a hint of mystery.
Everyone was at a loss, still unable to guess Yan Liang's intention.
…
North bank, Daying.
In the heavily guarded tent, Zhu Rong was sitting there with a gloomy expression. Next to the bed, there was a set of Han women's clothes neatly placed. Zhu Rong's clothes were stained with blood, but he still refused to put them on.
Footsteps sounded, and flower wands came in from the outside. Seeing Zhu Rong like this, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.
She sat down, took her mother's hand, and persuaded her: "Mom, please change your clothes quickly. If Da Sima comes at any time and sees that my mother still hasn't changed her clothes, it will be terrible."
Hua Wan's tone seemed to be "persuading a good girl to become a prostitute", which only made Zhu Rong shocked and ashamed.
The shocked Zhu Rong stared at his daughter and said in disbelief: "Wan'er, what did Yan Gou do to you to turn you into this? How can you say such a thing to your mother? How can you still do it?"
