Chapter 811 Barbarian King Meng Huo
How can Liu Bei not be afraid of such a terrible enemy?
Liu Bei asked Sima Yi:
"Can the military advisor have a good idea to defeat Chu?"
Sima Yi shook his head gently and said:
"The great Chu country is strong and difficult to defeat in a short period of time."
Liu Bei also knew that Sima Yi was talking about something real, and his face showed disappointment.
Sima Yi then said:
"But if the internal chaos within the Chu Dynasty can be caused, the king will contact Wei and Yan to jointly send troops to attack it, and there may be a chance of victory."
Liu Bei asked quickly:
"How can the people of Great Chu surrender to their hearts? "
Sima Yi smiled and said:
"The Chu State is vast, and the barbarians in the southern central area have been eyeing Xichuan.
It was only because of the suppression of the old barbarian king Zhu Rong that he did not take action for a long time.
Recently, the ministers and subordinates have found that the old barbarian king Zhurong has given way to the new king Menghuo.
Meng Huo was young and energetic, very warlike, and he was eager to attack Xichuan several times.
My subordinates thought that as long as we provoke a little, we could put Da Chu into civil strife.
And we can also contact Shanyue, so that Shanyue and the barbarians will cause serious damage to the Great Chu."
Liu Bei frowned and said:
"It is not done by a gentleman to provoke foreign races to attack our great men and women."
Sima Yi bowed to Liu Bei and said:
"Only with the great man there can be great men and people.
If the Han Dynasty was destroyed, where would the people in the world be conquered?
Only by defeating the strong Chu can the king turn the tide and support the Han Dynasty!”
Liu Bei nodded.
Sima Yi said it!
In order to support the Han Dynasty, I can sacrifice anything, and the people of the world should also sacrifice for the Han Dynasty.
It is not my wish to lead the barbarians to invade, so no wonder I am.
If you want to blame, let’s blame Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao, the ambitions who want to usurp the Han Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Liu Bei felt a little better.
He sighed and asked Sima Yi:
"I don't know how to get Meng Huo to send troops?"
Sima Yi thought about it and said:
"We should prepare more gold, silver, money and silk to reward the chiefs in the south.
In addition, it is best to let the emperor write an imperial edict and enthrone Meng Huo as King of Shu.
With the title of king, Meng Huo would inevitably be unable to help but use troops to Xichuan.”
Liu Bei hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth and said:
"Yes, as long as the Great Chu can get chaos, all these things can be given.
The matter of contacting Nanman and Shanyue was left to the military advisor to handle.
The matter of sending troops with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao was told by the orphans."
...
In the Dazhai of Nanzhong, Meng Huo, the new king of the Southern Barbarians, was drinking and having fun with a group of chiefs and marshals of the Southern Barbarians.
They lit a bonfire in the village, and the alien races in the south were painted with various colors and sang and danced around the fire.
A young barbarian who was nine feet tall and ferocious in his face was sitting in the main seat. This person was Meng Huo, the new king of the Southern Barbarians.
Although Meng Huo has an ugly appearance, he has a majestic and tough temperament, which makes people feel scared.
The sound of drums and music sounded, and Meng Huo raised his glass with great enthusiasm and said:
"My children from Nanzhong are brave and fierce, rare in the world. They should have enjoyed the prosperity of the world. How could they be trapped in Nanzhong?
Now that I have ascended the throne, I will definitely take my children out of Nanzhong to see the flower world outside.”
The master of Nanman Cave Jinhuan three times echoed:
“The king said it was reasonable.
I have also seen the Han people in Shu, and they are extremely weak.
How could these weak Han people occupy the fertile land in Sichuan?
As long as the king gives the order, my Golden Ring Three Knots will be the first to respond!"
Dong Chana, Ah Huilan and other cave owners also spoke up to support Meng Huo.
For a moment, the barbarians in the village were in anger and shouted that they would attack Shu.
Meng Huo couldn't help laughing, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
He had just taken office and received the support of these cave masters, and his prestige was much better than the old barbarian king of Zhurong.
"I heard that Xichuan has been occupied by Qiang Chu now.
The soldiers and generals under the King of Chu are brave, so it’s better not to start the battle lightly.”
An inappropriate voice sounded at this moment, like a basin of cold water pouring on the heads of the cave owners and Meng Huo.
Everyone looked in the voice and said that the person who said that was Zhu Rongyan, the eldest son of Zhu Rong, the old barbarian king.
Zhu Rongyan had a strong face and was wearing a brown cloth robe.
He did not have the colorful ornaments of other cave marshals, nor were he wrapped in animal skins and feathers, which looked a bit similar to the Han people.
A young girl in her twenties was sitting next to Zhu Rongyan.
The little girl is wearing a tiger-skin skirt with a short blade hanging on her waist and a slender figure.
This little girl is Zhu Rong Yanran, the eldest daughter of the old man king Zhu Rong.
Although Zhu Rong Yanran's skin is healthy wheat-colored, not as fair as the women in the Central Plains, it has a unique exotic style and is actually a beautiful appearance.
When Meng Huo heard Zhu Rongyan’s objection, he darkened his face and said to him unhappily:
"Some people have not yet figured out their identities. Are you the king or me the king?"
After the old man king Zhu Rong abdicated due to physical reasons, the candidates for the new man king were born between Zhu Rongyan and Meng Huo.
The power of the two people is not much different, and the real difference lies in their attitude towards the Han people.
Although the southern barbarians have abundant resources, unfortunately the grain output is very low, and there are many barbarians who cannot eat.
If you want to be a barbarian king, you naturally have to solve this problem.
Zhu Rongyan has always admired the Han culture and advocated good trade with the Han people, and exchanged food for the specialties from Nanzhong with the Han people.
Meng Huo believed that the Han people were cunning and weak, so there was no need to make friends with them.
Children from the southern middle school should learn from the Huns in the north. They should grab whatever they lack, which is simpler than anything else.
Obviously, Meng Huo's simple and crude method was more in line with the barbarian's character, so he won more support from the hole master in the election.
Before Zhu Rongyan could speak, Zhu Rong Yanran scolded Meng Huo:
"Menghuo, what do you mean?
As the lord of a cave, does my brother not even have the right to express his own opinions?”
Meng Huo looked at the little girl's five-mouthed flying knife with a cold light behind her back and chose to shut up very rationally.
Although Zhu Rong Yanran has a beautiful appearance, her martial arts skills are extraordinary. Even most of the cave owners in Nanzhong are not her opponents.
Even Meng Huo didn't know if he could beat her.
Moreover, Meng Huo always had a wish in his heart, that is, to marry Zhu Rong Yanran.
If you have this idea, you will not be able to have conflicts with her.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, the wise man from Nanzhong, Mulu, quickly smoothed out:
"Okay, OK, today is the clan meeting of our children in Nanzhong.
On such a festive day, why does it start to quarrel?
I won’t talk about business today, come on, let’s have a drink together.”
Meng Huo snorted coldly and drank a glass of wine, which was to give King Mulu a face.
The other cave owners also hurriedly toasted each other, and the scene gradually became warmer.
On the surface, this incident was considered to be over, but the newly promoted barbarian king Meng Huo had a murderous intention toward Zhu Rongyan.
