Chapter 301: Maps and Prescriptions
"Oh?" Meng Hu said with a slight sneer: "I didn't expect you Han people to tell the truth." I thought you'd have to go around for a long time to get to the point! ”
Lu Su didn't care about the sarcasm in Meng Hu's tone, and said gently: "Why does the barbarian king need to be like this? The purpose of this visit is to peacefully resolve the contradictions between our Han and barbarians. ”
"Under the whole world, it is not the land of Han; On the shore of the land, it is not Hanchen. Nanban was originally divided into Yizhou and was part of the Han Dynasty. Over the years, Liu Yan has not cultivated virtue and politics and connived at the family, which has caused serious friction between the Han and the barbarians. And a certain master Yuan Shu is completely different from it, benevolent and generous, eloquent and strategic, so naturally he will not sit idly by and watch the two sides continue like this. It is imperative for the Han barbarians to get along on an equal footing. ”
"Hehe, get along as equals?" Meng Hu said sarcastically: "Haven't you Han people always looked down on us and other barbarians? What is it that is willing to get along with us? Do the strong give alms to the weak? ”
"Or what do you think?" In the face of Meng Hu's ridicule, Yang Xiu directly said coldly: "Isn't kindness the charity of the strong to the weak? You Nanban have respected the strong, don't you understand this truth? Do you really think we can't do anything about you people? It's just that I think that you have always been honest, so my lord is reluctant to do it, if it is a shot, it must be the power of thunder, I am afraid that this time you Nanban will not be as lucky as a hundred years ago, and the destruction of the clan is just a snap of a finger. ”
"What is the identity of this imp? Your scholar? Aren't you big men a country of etiquette, how can you let such yellow-mouthed children bark again? Meng Huli also ignored Yang Xiu, stared at Lu Su and said coldly.
Lu Su patted Yang Xiu's shoulder and said with a smile: "This is the nephew of a certain lord, who specially came with me to exercise." The child has no knowledge, and his speech is neither light nor heavy, which makes the barbarian king laugh. ”
"Oh?" Meng Hu glanced at Yang Xiu in surprise: "Your lord is quite bold!" Dare to send this kid here, isn't he afraid that you will not come back? ”
A killing intent was revealed in Meng Hu's words, and it was obvious that he was not joking, but really had the intention to kill these two people.
"The barbarian king is a measured person, and he will definitely not do such an unwise thing. What's more, if we didn't have some certainty, we wouldn't have come so hastily. If the barbarian king wants to force us to stay, it is not unavoidable, but I am afraid that the consequences are what the barbarian king does not want to see. Lu Su was neither humble nor arrogant.
"You're so confident!" Meng Hu's eyes flashed with red light, and the big knife in his hand was gently raised: "Then let me see what you Han people are capable of and what consequences can be caused?" ”
Seeing this, Yang Xiu was not afraid at all and said: "Do you think that Yang Pu is dead, and you, the Southern Barbarian King, will have no worries when you sit firmly in the throne?" Or do you think that if you drill into the mountains and forests, we really can't help you? ”
Meng Hu was shocked in his heart, but on the surface, he didn't panic and said, "Isn't it? ”
Meng Hu disdained to lie about such things, even in front of the many cave masters.
Yang Xiu smiled coldly: "You first look at what I gave you before before I say it, I hope you still have the courage to say this kind of thing again." ”
Meng Hu seemed to inadvertently glance at the two pieces of paper that he had just thrown on the ground, and his eyes suddenly widened.
After hearing Yang Xiu's words, Zhu Rong hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the two pieces of paper, only glanced at them, and was also as shocked as Meng Hu: "This, this is?" ”
Lu Su said calmly: "That's right, this is the map of your 100,000 mountains in the Southern Barbarians, which clearly marks the location of your tribes and the dangers of each one. And the other one is the secret recipe of the antidote to the Southern Barbarian miasma, presumably as Zhu Rong, you should be able to see that this recipe is true. ”
You must know that Zhurong, as a symbol of Nanban, was famous for medicine from the beginning. Zhu Rong has many prescriptions handed down from his ancestors, including the secret recipe for resolving this miasma. Zhu Rong casually glanced at it and saw that the antidote on this piece of paper should be no problem, and the main materials were almost the same as the prescription in his memory.
And on the other map, there is even less to say. Meng Hu looked like he had seen a ghost at that time because he saw the location of his tribe on the map, as well as the route.
"How did you get these two things?" Zhu Rong looked at Lu Su and said solemnly.
And Meng Hu set his eyes on the various cave masters behind him, Yangpu has rebelled, and there are inevitably not one or two traitors among these people. Otherwise, how could the Han people have such a detailed map.
Lu Su smiled slightly and said: "You don't need to worry, this thing was not secretly given by you Nanban people, but made by the doctors and strange people among my Han people." ”
"A group of frogs at the bottom of the well, there are many strange people among my Han people, but they are just a map of the Southern Barbarians and an antidote to miasma, which is at our fingertips." Yang Xiu sang with a white face on the side.
At this time, Meng Hu couldn't get up anymore, put away the long knife he raised, and said with a dark face: "Count you as a kind!" ”
"Now you can promise to fall to us! Neither of you are our opponents, and my lord has no prejudice against you. As long as you obey the rule of our Lord, your life will not be as difficult as it is now, and you will no longer have to worry about food every day. Lu Su smiled.
"If we agree to submit to you nominally, how many stone of grain can you give us each year?"
The moment Zhu Rong saw the map and the antidote, he understood that he had no other way to go. Unless you choose to die and break the net, you can only fall to the Han people. But the key is what the conditions are.
"Not a single stone will be provided." Lu Su said lightly.
As a strong man, he gave free support to the barbarians who were weak, this kind of thing would not be done to kill Yuan Shu, and he would rather give the grain to Cao Cao for nothing than do this kind of thing. The foolish idea of preferring friends to domestic slaves must be curbed.
Meng Hu glared at Lu Su angrily and said, "Are you weak and bullying us when we are Nanban?" ”
Lu Su shook his head gently: "Naturally, we don't think so, otherwise we wouldn't have come to the door so sincerely." ”
"You only want to control our Nanban, but you don't care about our life and death, this is your sincerity?"
"Don't worry, you haven't finished yet. It is absolutely impossible to provide you with food free of charge, and although we Han people are benevolent, we will never do such a degrading thing. We can provide enough food, but you also have to give it in exchange. ”
Zhu Rong's face was ugly and said: "I am extremely barren in Nanban, otherwise I would not go out of the mountains from time to time to harass me, what can I exchange?" ”
"The Ugo Nation is even poorer than your Nanban, but they have a specialty of vine armor that can be exchanged. And you Nanban are sitting on Baoshan without knowing it. Many of the herbs and hides in the mountains are extremely precious, enough to keep you food and clothing worry-free. ”
