In Qiongdu, after repeated negotiations, on the fifth day of the siege, Meng Yulai led more than 500 men and women out of the city, including Ma Jian and Gong Jie, county officials, guards, men and women.

The city gate was opened, and Ma Tan walked in front, only to feel frightened and stagnant.

Gong Jie led the officials to wear armor, and they also stopped, which made Meng Shu uneasy, and stepped forward to arch his hand: "The prince wants to break the contract?" ”

"Nope."

Ma Yan's tone was convinced, and he looked up at the sky above Meng Huo's head that was covered by clouds and mist: "Qiongdu is the land of faith granted to me by the imperial court, and I should be guarded with my life." ”

Meng Shu took two steps forward, raised his hand and pointed to the scattered local people who were camping a few miles behind him: "Fujun, he is ignorant and does not want to raise an army. All he wanted was to ask the imperial court to reduce taxes and rents and reduce forced labor. Today, the Central Plains is divided into three points, and the heroes are competing with each other. But what does this have to do with my remote mountain people? ”

"Liu Yan and Liu Zhang's father and son are in the state, and the mountain people's taxes are the same as before; Now that the emperor of the Han Dynasty is in the state, the mountain people's taxes and rents are the same as before, and there are more conscriptions, and everyone suffers. In the future, no matter whether Wei and Wu enter Yizhou, they will only collect taxes and rents, but there will be no danger of forced labor. ”

"The king of Jinfu retreated from the north, and he didn't have any soldiers, so we can negotiate with the emperor of Han. This is the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, the king of the Zhongli Mansion, and the matter of Li Lishu, I hope that the Ming Duke will decide. ”

"This is a mistake, Qing has the duty to protect the neighbors, and I am Hanchen, and I have the responsibility to defend the land."

Ma Jian showed a sad face: "For the sake of my life, the prime minister and brother will be humiliated, and I don't want to." What's more, in the past, Liangzhou was in turmoil, and Fu Nanrong in the north guarded Hanyang and was surrounded by thieves. There were thousands of Huns in the thief army, and they respected Fu Nanrong as a person, so they knelt around the city and bowed, willing to protect Fu Nanrong to return to the north, which was rejected by Fu Nanrong. ”

"There was also a traitor Jiuquan County Shou Huang Yan who entered the city to persuade him to surrender, but Fu Nanrong was unwilling to surrender in the end, and he took pity on the people in the city."

Looking at Meng Huo, who was dark-skinned and wearing a feather crown, Ma Yan's expression gradually became solemn: "Fu Nanrong led his officials out of the city to invite the battle, begging to die in the chaos, and to be strong by the people of Yongliang." When Emperor Ling heard about it, he was injured and strong, and posthumously presented it to the Marquis of Zhuangjie. ”

"Qing also knows that my brother Uncle Ma often dies in the line of duty, how can I be ashamed of the lintel for a momentary thought?"

Ma Jian said and slowly drew his sword, pointing at Meng Shu's feet: "Qing and pass the word Gaoding, if you are here, you will be here." ”

"The prince of the palace is noble."

Meng Shu looked at Ma Jian deeply, took a few steps back, and bowed his hands deeply.

Seeing Meng Shu leave, Ma Jian was full of spirits, although he didn't use his eyes to observe, but he also felt the cordiality and attachment of the surrounding officials, and raised his sword and raised his arms: "Close the city gate and fill the sand and gravel debris!" ”

"Whoa!"

Ma Tan shook off the bag of money that his wife was holding, and grabbed a few folded battle flags: "Splendid, gold and silver useless things, distribute them to the people in the city, so that they can help me carry sundries!" ”

"Whoa!"

The county officials shouted again, and Ma Jian raised his sword to look at Gong Jie: "Dejiao urges the officials, I will go to the city to inspect the enemy!" ”

"Dare not to die?"

Gong Jielu asked with a smile, Ma Jian nodded heavily, and asked his wife to bring the servant's wife to assist in the work.

Then he climbed the nearly two-zhang city wall, shook off a Chinese character battle flag, re-tied it to a wooden pole, and stood at the head of the city.

Including his own horse-shaped battle flag, looking up at the battle flag that shook gently in the breeze, fluttered slightly, and seemed listless, the corners of Ma Tan's mouth curled up and smiled, and he clenched the sword in his hand.

Looking into the distance, watching Meng Huo and a few people gradually move away, the rebel camp in the distance has sounded the horn, and the Tumin rebels in disorganized clothes are rushing out with hula and cheer, and there is no order and queue to speak of...... Like a homeless.

But I remembered all kinds of legends about Tian Xin's battlefield raids, beheadings, capturing flags, and breaking formations...... When you die, you must stand up straight! Die standing up!

Agitated and generous, Ma Jian couldn't stop his heart from agitating, and he couldn't wait to shout, show his courage, and invite the thief army to fight.

Over there, Meng Shu and Gao Ding met, but saw that Gao Ding gathered his troops and did not attack, which was very strange.

Just as he was about to ask and tell about Ma Yan's noble things, he saw Gao Ding's face gloomy, holding a cane in his right hand, and the cane kept beating the ground to express his dissatisfaction and anger: "Yonghong has sent Li En to attack Lingguan Dao, does Meng Jun know?" ”

Meng was surprised, raised his hand and made an oath: "I never know about this!" ”

Seeing this, the chiefs of the surrounding departments who came with Gao Ding also softened their expressions, and Gao Ding frowned: "Yonghong has the heart to be called the king and the system, which is different from us. Lao Mengjun went to Yonghong and stated our wishes. If he does anything to trap or cross the border, we will help the Han army to destroy his clan! ”

Meng Shu took a deep breath, the victory of the Han army may not necessarily wipe out the Yonghong clan...... Even the three clans are selectively killed; But if Tuyi does it, he will destroy the clan if he says that he will destroy it, and no one will be missing.

Without delay, Meng Huo immediately summoned his troops to return to Yizhou County.

Since Yonghong attacked and killed Yizhou County, he is currently busy plundering and attacking hostile elements...... Kill the main enemies first, these are all potential supporters of the Han army.

Kill these people, even if they are defeated, they can temporarily surrender, and there is a possibility of accumulating strength to develop again.

But if these hostile elements are alive and defeated and surrender to the Han army, these people will actively run for the Han army, staring at themselves to death, and even connecting them in tandem and swarming them to swallow themselves.

There is no room for mercy, and Yonghong will purge the hostile elements within the territory and unify and use the vast majority of manpower and material resources before marching outward.

If you rush out, the expansion will be rapid and the expansion will be rapid...... But in a place like Nanzhong, sometimes it's useless to have a lot of people.

The road is rugged and narrow, and it is possible for dozens of brave warriors to launch a surprise attack, which can defeat thousands of people and drive sheep.

The battle between Nanzhong broke out so suddenly, and because of the different minds of the various departments, it fell into silence.

This made Ma Yan, who was trapped in Qiongdu, happy, the difference between a thought and a step is often the difference between heaven and earth.

And in the war, the more you want to take advantage...... The sooner you die.

In general, war is inevitable, and if you want to seize Yizhou in the chaotic period of Liu Bei's illness and death, it is not enough to rely on the strength of Yizhou County, Yuewei County, Qianwei County, and Qiqi County.

It was necessary to win over the populous Yongchang County to join the gang, and Yonghong supported Meng Huo to encourage the fighting spirit of the Tuyi departments in Yuechang County, and on the other hand, he called himself the Yongchang County Guard, and personally went to Yongchang County, preparing to take over and mobilize the manpower and material resources of Yongchang County.

The new county guard of Yongchang County has not yet taken office, and the county officials and people are in confusion and have no core.

If it can be based on Yongchang, then it will continue to levy manpower and material resources, and drag the Han army to death with the complex and treacherous terrain of the southern and central regions.

won all according to Yizhou and became a king of Shu; lost and retreated to Nanzhong and Yongchang, and became a king of mourning and the king of Dian.

Yonghong is a descendant of Yongya, the ancestor of Han Gao, and he understands the international situation a little bit...... It doesn't matter if you make trouble by yourself, the key is that Liu Bei is seriously ill, and the actions of Wei and Wu are the next key variables.

With the Wei-Wu coalition army attracting the attention of the Han army outside, it will be difficult for the Han army to use the main force to fight Nanzhong...... What's more, in the southern and central regions, the larger the size of the troops, the more unpredictable the danger becomes.

Nanzhong is a remote and barren land for the Central Plains; There is turmoil here due to Liu Bei's serious illness, not to mention the more intense contradictions in the Central Plains.

Sun Quan is very good at coming to things, and it just so happens that Sun Dahu, the crown princess of the Han Dynasty, can show up and provide strong evidence.

The Wei-Wu coalition was about to be formed, but Liu Feng, the king of Yan, hesitated.

He has only two sons, and he has already sent people to Jingzhou...... If the army is raised, the fate of the two sons is difficult to say.

In order to persuade Liu Feng, Sun Quan sent people to lobby Liu Feng.

It's really not good, my cousin Sun Huan's daughter was adopted in the palace, and it is not bad to marry Liu Feng as an adopted daughter.
