"Descend to Meng Hu (Zhu Rong), meet the sacrificial wine."

In the Chengdu City Lord's Mansion, although Meng Hu and Zhu Rong were surprised that Guo Jia, who was sitting on the first seat, was so young, they still said respectfully.

"Two of you, please, no need to be restrained. Now that you have joined my Jiangdong, you are naturally your own people. Guo Jia rarely showed a steady side, changed his usual jump, and said gently.

Now in Chengdu, Guo Jia is the person in charge. Although this person in charge doesn't do anything, he only knows how to hang out and drink every day, but he is the only one in the crowd who can do this position. Lu Su and Huang Zhong were in charge of civil and military affairs respectively and sat on either side of Guo Jia.

After greeting each other for a while, the two sides also became acquainted. Meng Hu and Tai Shici even had a feeling of hating each other, and they became one. And Guo Jia couldn't pretend anymore, revealing the essence of the prodigal son, drinking wine and chatting with Zhu Rong with his legs crossed.

"I said Lao Zhurong, why are you Nanban so weak? As far as the combat power you showed, how did you slip out of the hands of the big man in the first place? ”

Guo Jia has been curious about this for a long time. He is very clear about Nanban's current combat strength, it stands to reason that such a weak Nanban should have been destroyed a long time ago, and he was able to run away from the Han army back then, shouldn't he?

You must know that the Han army fought in the south and the north back then, and it was basically a lonely master. Even the Northern Xiongnu were beaten and walked directly to Europe, and the behavior of the Southern Barbarians who were dead back then, if they only had the current combat power, they should have been exterminated a long time ago.

Don't look at the Nanban with geographical advantages and miasma blocking, but when the Han is strong, it really doesn't even count as a dish. Although it is not common for a strange legion talent like Tai Shici to have it, it is easy for the Han Dynasty at its peak to come up with one or two similar ones.

According to the classic records of Yizhou, at that time, all the young and strong men of the Nanban stayed to block the Han army and cover the evacuation of the old and young, and nearly 50,000 young and strong people were stunned to fight with the 40,000 Han army, barely supporting it for a few days before the whole army was wiped out.

But with the current combat strength of the Southern Barbarian army, in that case, let alone support for a few days, I am afraid that it will not be able to support for a few hours, and it will be crushed with one blow.

When Zhu Rong heard this, he sighed lightly and said bitterly: "Fengxiao, you don't know, my Nanban is indeed not weak." Although it is not as good as the Northern Xiongnu, it can also be called a hegemon. In fact, a large part of us are the remnants of the pre-Qin Dynasty back then, and there are also records of the inheritance of the legion's cloud qi and legion talent. ”

"Because the Han Dynasty destroyed the Qin Dynasty and won the world, we have always been dissatisfied with the Han Dynasty, which led to the Han Barbarian War. At that time, in order to protect the women and children and leave a way for the Nanban to survive, basically all the young and strong people among our barbarians went to the battlefield. ”

"Then we went all the way south, broke into pieces, and survived in the mountains. But because of this, the whole barbarian tribe gradually split up, forming various tribes. Although we have fought back to the Nanban over the years, the trend of division has become irrepressible. ”

"So you still have the inheritance of Nanban in your hands, but you just can't play it, right?" Guo Jia said with a smile.

"You support Meng Hu to become the king of the Nanban this time, but you don't have the idea of combining the two of you to integrate the Nanban and carry forward the Nanban inheritance again."

Zhu Rong took a deep look at Guo Jia: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you." It seems that we Nanban will have to rely on you in the future. ”

Guo Jia smiled lightly: "Since most of you are the remnants of the pre-Qin Dynasty, you are naturally brothers in the same vein as us, so why do you need to share anything with each other." I'll give you a thorough explanation, the heart of a certain lord is far bigger than you think, and the world of the Han Dynasty is far from the limit of the lord. It's a time of wonder, and if you want to get a piece of it, you'd better come up with something real. ”

"Since you can't get rid of it, let's show the greatest sincerity!"

Listening to Guo Jia's words, Zhu Rong was thoughtful. After groaning for a long time, he finally raised his head.

"I don't have much Nanban inheritance in my hands, and even less can be used by you."

"Tell me about it." Guo Jia's eyes flashed, and he really had a plan.

After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the hundreds of thousands of Qin troops who marched south to Nanling did not disappear, but established the Nanyue State in Jiaozhou. Later, the Nanyue Kingdom was destroyed by the Han Dynasty, and many Qin people submitted to the Han Dynasty. However, there were still many Qin people who went all the way west because they did not want to submit to the land, and gradually formed the current Nanban.

Hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers fell here, and the most loyal recalcitrant party ran to Nanban, if there was no dry goods, Guo Jia would not believe it. If you want to turn the tables and rebuild the so-called Qin Dynasty, if you don't have the ability to press the bottom of the box, who wants to come to this poor mountain and bad water?

"In my Nanban heritage, one of them is the method of physical fitness. Exercise the physical body with internal qi to strengthen one's physique, but the internal force will also disappear. ”

Guo Jia frowned: "Don't say these useless, let's have some practical good?" ”

Refining the body with qi is something that everyone can figure out, but not everyone has that capital. If your family is not rich, this kind of refining method can impoverish you. Moreover, compared to the strength of the body, the combat power of those who cultivate internal qi is more comprehensive. The reason why these Nanban people can refine their bodies is because there are many herbs and beasts in the Nanban mountains, and their qi and blood can keep up.

"My Southern Barbarians can also form a legion cloud qi, and they don't need to rely on internal qi and military formations, they only need blood qi." Zhu Rong sighed lightly in his heart, but still said Nanban's greatest reliance.

The corners of Guo Jia's mouth hooked, this is right! can fight with the Han army in about the same number, how can it not even have the cloud of the army?

As soon as Zhu Rong saw Guo Jia's smile, he knew that his so-called secret had already been discovered by the other party. In fact, this matter is not difficult to reason, as long as you pay a little attention to Nanban's past achievements, you can see the cattiness. Even the armies of a small country like Ugo can assemble a legionary cloud, let alone the Nanban.

"Then why didn't your soldiers use the Legion Cloud in the previous battle? You don't look like one of those timid and selfish people! ”

Zhu Rong sighed and said, "Because there are too few young people under my command, less than 10,000." Although the blood qi produced by my people is powerful, it is not as easy to control as the internal qi. If it does not reach a certain scale, it will not be possible to form a legion cloud at all. ”

"Then if the number of soldiers drops by 10,000 during the battle, the cloud of this legion will dissipate?"

"That's right, that's why I want to integrate Nanban. The army does not have a scale of more than 20,000 people, and the use of blood and qi to form a legion cloud qi is completely more than worth the loss. Zhu Rong sighed and said.

In fact, if he had known that this was the case, he would have told Meng Hu all this at the beginning. Otherwise, the first battle would not have been so badly defeated. As for the second battle, Zhu Rong's luck and selfishness in his heart still made him not tell the other cave masters about it. Because if the plan for the unification of the southern barbarians does not come true, their tribe may have to become the target of public criticism because of this.

Zhu Rong originally planned to hide this secret technique of Nanban in his heart. Because once Guo Jia and the others found that the barbarians did not have a trace of internal qi and could not condense the cloud qi of the legion, they would naturally not arrest them as soldiers. And they can slowly develop their combat power in secret, and take the Han army by surprise at a critical time.

But it's a pity that Guo Jia is not a fuel-efficient lamp. From various clues, some of the origins and secrets of the Nanban were deduced. Although he didn't say it explicitly, Zhu Rong already felt from Guo Jia's tone that the other party had almost seen through himself.
