Qin Mi was of course confused. He knew nothing about the situation in Nanzhong, otherwise he would not have risked offending Duo Si and defected to Yong Kai.
Seeing this, Duosi was just about to explain to everyone, when Yi Xiaotian suddenly realized:
"It is indeed him... I think Yong Kai went to support the barbarian leader named Meng Huo, right?"
"Yi Xiaotian, do you know this too?"
"It's not that I know this, but I've heard about Meng Huo before."
"Now I see that your Majesty is so unresponsive to that Yong Kai that he actually went to oppose you - and you now occupy the vast area of Nanguang and Zhuti, leaving the remaining area for Yong Kai and others to move around.
Only the areas beyond Yuesun and the west are left."
"I heard that the barbarian tribes here are mainly composed of two groups. One of them is the Wuxi barbarian from which your Majesty comes, and the other is their original southern barbarian."
"In the Wuxi Barbarians, your Majesty has the highest status, and your opponents can only be the Southern Barbarians...and their leader should now be the Meng clan who was born near Dianchi Lake in Yizhou County. Excluding other options, the remaining
The only possibility is Meng Huo."
"Yes...that's it! Yi Xiaotian! I didn't expect you to know us so well!"
Duosi was really overjoyed now. Although he claimed to be the wisest man in the barbarian realm, his strategies were often conspiracy.
Since Liu Zhang was not in charge of Nanzhong, the barbarian leaders who had been dormant in Nanzhong for a long time all saw the hope of hegemony.
Duosi is naturally one of them.
But as Yi Xiaotian said, the power relations among the barbarians are complicated, and in addition, they do not all live around the city. If you want to unify the entire Nanzhong region, you will have to capture hundreds or even thousands of barbarians of different sizes.
tribe.
Duosi, who was just the leader of a slightly larger tribe at first, was hampered by others in this situation and urgently needed an assistant counselor who could help him formulate a reasonable plan and help him dominate the southern border.
It was at this time that Yong Kai became involved with Duo Si.
As a famous scholar from Yizhou County, Yong Kai has been active in the Zhuti area in recent years.
Seemingly seeing Duosi's strength and wisdom compared to other tribal leaders, Yongkai, who took advantage of the situation, naturally wanted to help the barbarians and get a share of the pie.
"Well, I couldn't tell at that time whether it was Yong Kailai who took the initiative to find me, or whether I went to find him..."
"In short, with Yong Kai's help in the beginning, and under my leadership, we were invincible. We quickly occupied a large territory in Zhuti County, and swept and annexed dozens of barbarian tribes along the way. Only then did we have
That’s why I’m in such a strong position now.”
"So, what went wrong that separated you from that Yong Kai, causing him to go and assist Meng Huo?"
Yi Xiaotian rubbed his chin and asked while listening.
"Yong Kai, he doesn't want to push me to the position of king of the barbarians at all. On the contrary... ever since he started looking for me to share the military power, I have become more and more aware that Yong Kai's ambition is not limited to being a counselor."
"until…"
Duosi gritted her teeth and looked back at the unbearable past, her eyes filled with resentment:
"It wasn't until he hid the truth from me, led the troops he secretly cultivated, and forcibly captured the city of Qiongdu, which didn't have many troops stationed at that time, that I realized that he already had the strength to compete with me."
"Yong Kai... this treacherous guy, used my money and food, took my equipment, and even encouraged the unsuspecting tribal leaders under me to serve as stepping stones, while he himself took over the Yuexi government almost unscathed.
So... Qiongdu is much richer than Nanguang, there are more Han people there, and there are more resources - since then I can't control Yong Kai."
"Our vitality was severely damaged, but in the end we were surrendered by this guy Yong Kai..."
"I will never forget his disgusting face the last time he saw me!"
"He wants me to kneel down to him! So he is willing to give me the status of an aide... This is an insult, a naked insult!"
"Your Majesty, you probably don't agree, right?"
Qin Mi was a little scared. He had no idea that the Yong Kai he knew at that time could be such an insidious and vicious person.
In his nervousness, he asked nonsense.
"Of course it's impossible to agree!"
"I told him to fight if he wants. From now on, I will never recognize him as a friend. Even if there is only one soldier left, we will never bow to him!"
Duosi slammed the table, and a dull sound echoed in the room.
Yi Xiaotian was silent and kept thinking about something.
After calming down a little, Duosi continued:
"But don't look at how arrogant he was at that time. The reason why he came to recruit me to surrender is because although he has a bad attitude, his head is still very clear-"
"He knows that it is extremely inappropriate to rashly start a war with me. No matter who wins or loses, both sides will suffer in the end."
"How could someone as selfish as him make such a reckless decision?"
"in addition……"
Duosi patted his chest and pointed to the feather crown on his head that symbolized the status of the barbarian:
"The reason why he wants to surrender us is because he cannot unify the southern border by himself."
"The barbarians in the southern border are 50-50 equal to the Han people, and the Han people are mostly ordinary people engaged in farming and doing business. Naturally, they cannot compete with us barbarians who are all soldiers in real war."
"If he wants to unify the southern border, he must support a barbarian leader and rely on the supported barbarians to win over the hearts of other barbarians."
"This is why that guy Meng Huo can have such a huge fortune at such an age."
After Duosi finished narrating, the room fell into silence for a while.
Of course, Zhao Yun and Cao Ang will not speak easily, they just need to wait for Yi Xiaotian's decision.
Fan Ling felt a little dizzy after hearing this. For her, the twists and turns between the symbols of power were too complicated.
Seeing that no one spoke, Duosi also sighed.
"Hey, I don't actually want to embarrass you. The misunderstanding has been resolved, and I have no reason to kill innocent people indiscriminately. It should be said that I have never been a person who kills innocent people indiscriminately. Otherwise, how could you see it?
To such a harmonious and harmonious scene in the city?"
"I am not boasting. If I can really unify the Southern Territory, I will definitely try my best to promote the integration of barbarians and Han people. I just want the world to know that although we are called barbarians by you, we should also have equal rights with the Han people.
Qualification, we are all children of God, there is no need to kill each other and fight against each other."
"Based on your words, Your Majesty... I will help you with this."
Suddenly, Yi Xiaotian's voice sounded from the room.
Duosi looked at Yi Xiaotian in surprise, but saw that Yi Xiaotian had already stood up and walked to his side:
"Your Majesty, heroes have the same vision. Peace in the world is also my lifelong goal. Based on your heartfelt words just now, I will do my best to help you take further steps despite the difficulties you are currently facing."
