Chapter nine hundred and nineteenth meeting of the barbarians
Chapter 919: Barbarian Meeting
Since Meng Huo did not reject it cleanly, the matter could be discussed. Dong Fu directly asked Meng Huo his opinion on the situation in the Han Dynasty.
"What does the situation in the Han Dynasty have to do with me?
If you have something to say, just say it and don’t make any riddles.”
After hearing Dong Fu's question, Meng Huo couldn't help but frowned. I asked you what brought you here, but you asked me what I thought about the current situation of the big man. I can have Mao's opinion. What he dislikes the most is these roundabout ways.
of people.
"Dong Futang made a sudden move. The Han Dynasty has changed. Except for the barren Jiaozhou, only Yizhou is still in the hands of the Han Dynasty. The rest of the Han Dynasty has been captured by Yuan Shu and Yuan Gongdao.
Now Yuan Jiujiu is leading his army from Jingzhou and Yongzhou to attack Yizhou, and my family is left alone.
I was sent here firstly to express my intention of truce with the king, and secondly because I hope that the king can send troops to help us defeat Yuan Shu and protect Yizhou."
Dong Fu frowned when he heard Meng Huo's words, but immediately felt relieved and told him about the current situation in the world and Yizhou.
"Since you said that Yuan Jiujiu has already captured other parts of the Han Dynasty and is now attacking Yizhou, if I send troops to help you, wouldn't I be asking for death?
It's better to just stay here."
Hearing Dong Fu's words, Meng Huo's brows knitted together. I said you wanted to cede the land of the four counties to me. It turned out that the enemy's army was pressing on the border and he wanted to send troops to put out the fire.
"Your Majesty, some things should not be taken at face value. Yuan Shu is not the same as my lord. He does not have the strength to go south. He can acquiesce to Your Majesty's status in the four southern counties. However, Yuan Shu has strong soldiers and horses. If he really takes Chengdu,
I will definitely not let you continue to roam freely in the four southern counties,
This person will definitely move south forcefully and wipe out all directions, and then the king will face Yuan Shu's army alone. Even if your tribal warriors are powerful, they may not be able to resist Yuan Shu's move south."
Dong Fu knew that it would not be easy for the Southern Barbarians to send troops, and he had also thought of a countermeasure. With Yuan Shu's power, he would definitely not let the four southern counties remain semi-independent. He would definitely send his troops south to directly wipe out the Southern Barbarians. He did not believe it.
Meng Huo was not afraid.
"this."
After hearing Dong Fu's words, Meng Huo also hesitated for a while, and then glanced at Mrs. Zhu Rong beside him.
When Mrs. Zhu Rong saw Meng Huo's eyes, she also frowned. Liu Yan was not strong enough and could only be in a defensive state when facing her. If it were really replaced by a stronger prince, he would definitely not sit back and watch the situation in his four southern counties.
It may be difficult to send troops southward by then.
"Lord Dong Fu, this matter is of great importance. Please let us discuss it before we can give you an answer."
Mrs. Zhu Rong couldn't make up her mind for a while, so she could only ask Dong Fu to leave first, and they would have to discuss it carefully.
"I hope Your Majesty can make a decision quickly. After all, time waits for no one. If Yuan Shu really captures Chengdu, everything will be over."
Dong Fu glanced at Mrs. Zhu Rong next to Meng Huo. In his opinion, military and state affairs were men's business. How could a woman interfere? However, he also couldn't understand Mrs. Zhu Rong's status. After all, the barbarians were not civilized.
There was nothing I could do to control him, so I could only salute him with clasped fists.
"Well, Dong Tanu, please take Mr. Dong Fu down to rest."
"promise."
Dong Fu left Meng Huo's hall under Dong Tanu's arrangement, and only Meng Huo and Mrs. Zhu Rong were left in the hall.
"Madam, what do you think of Dong Fu's words?"
Meng Huo looked at his wife, his eyes full of confusion.
"Your Majesty, according to what Dong Fu said, Yuan Shu has basically taken over the territory of the Han Dynasty. If he really takes Yizhou, the situation may be very dangerous for us.
After all, there is an old saying in the Han Dynasty that the place where you sleep is a place where others can sleep soundly. He will definitely not let us exist in the four southern counties. It is inevitable to send his troops south.
Liu Yan has few soldiers and is unable to sweep us away. If Yuan Shu really comes with a large army, it will be very difficult to resist."
When Mrs. Zhu Rong heard Meng Huo's inquiry, she directly expressed her thoughts.
"Then we might as well go to Yuan Shu. As long as he agrees to let us exist, we will surrender to him in name. The four southern counties are barren, and Yuan Shu will not send a large army to harass him. What he wants is righteousness, and we will give it to him.
Otherwise it’s over.”
Although Mrs. Zhu Rong said so, Meng Huo still didn't want to go north to help Liu Yan and lie in the muddy water.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid Yuan Shu won't accept us at all. After all, we are just barbarians in his eyes. Even if we recognize his rule in name, we will pose a threat to Yizhou.
So we either go north to support Liu Yan and help him keep Yizhou, or we wait for Yuan Shu to capture Yizhou and fight to the death with him in the four southern counties, or we really surrender and let him drive him."
Although Mrs. Zhu Rong is a female, she is far better than her husband in terms of thoughts and strategies. He has now seen the crisis in Yizhou and the Nanman people. If it cannot be resolved, hundreds of thousands of Nanman people may really die in the end.
Become history.
"Then what do you think we should choose, madam?"
After hearing Mrs. Zhu Rong's analysis, Meng Huo also hesitated for a while. He also had no idea now. He originally thought he would get the right to rule the four counties, but he didn't expect there would be so many troubles.
"Your Majesty, if it were me, I would choose to send troops north to help Liu Yan fight against Yuan Shu. If we can really defeat Yuan Shu, we can take advantage of the situation and capture Liu Yan directly. It is not impossible to occupy Yizhou."
Mrs. Zhu Rong thought for a moment and directly expressed her thoughts.
"Capture Yizhou?
I’m afraid it’s difficult to do it with our own strength.”
Hearing Mrs. Zhu Rong's ambition, Meng Huo had a glimmer of hope in his eyes. The richness of northern Yizhou was not comparable to that of the south. If Yizhou could really be captured, it would definitely be a great thing for the southern barbarian tribes.
"Haha, I know it's difficult to do it with our strength, but we are not just one person. The king can invite the other barbarian kings to discuss important matters. When the time comes, all the kings will gather their troops and take advantage of the situation to capture Yizhou."
Mrs. Zhu Rong glanced at Meng Huo beside her and directly expressed her idea of calling in helpers.
"Yes, yes, then send someone to summon King Duosi, the master of Tulong Cave, King Mulu, the master of Bana Cave, King Ugo Wugu, and Yang Feng, the master of Silver Leaf Cave, Jinhuan Sanjie, Akuai
Nan, bring the cave master and wait for all the cave masters to come to my place to discuss matters."
Since his wife had said so, Meng Huo had no reason to hesitate. He directly sent a hero message to summon the leaders of the southern barbarians to come to his place to discuss matters.
Meng Huo's barbarian soldiers left his lair and ran in all directions. Dong Fu also received courtesy from Meng Huo. He was entertained with wine and meat every day and was accompanied by barbarian beauties, so he never felt lonely.
After a while, the cave masters, kings, marshals, etc. who were invited by Meng Huo all gathered in front of Meng Huo's hall. Looking at these barbarian leaders, Meng Huo's eyes sparkled.
"Meng Huo, why did you invite us here?"
King Mulu, wearing a golden tassel with two swords hanging on his waist, asked Meng Huo directly.
"King Mulu, please be patient and wait for the wine. Let's eat wine first."
When King Mulu asked, Meng Huo didn't say anything. He just arranged for his servants to serve wine and meat, and at the same time, barbarian beauties came to entertain him.
"Meng Huo, don't worry about these lies. Tell me, what good things can you think of us?"
King Ugo's protruding bones are much taller than those of ordinary barbarians even when he is sitting. He wears a sun and moon wolf beard hat, a golden tassel, and armor made of scales. He looks extremely scary.
"Master, I, Meng Huo, have summoned you all to come here this time. Actually, I have a big deal that I want to do with you."
