Chapter Twenty-Eight: Marriage, Marriage, and Borrowing Soldiers
Liu Yao asked Guan Xiu again:
"General Xiaoguan, I remember what you said Meng Qiu's daughter was called?"
Guan Xiu pursed his lips and drank tea by himself, not daring to answer.
"Meng Yining." Meng Yining, who was on the side, replied.
"Oh yes! I remembered that it was called Meng Yining. Liu Yao picked up the teacup and was about to take a sip, when she suddenly reacted.
"What? Eminent.... Meng Yining? Liu Yao suddenly wanted to draft the girl who cooked medicine for herself in the draft, and it seemed that her name was also Meng Yining.
Turning to Meng Yining on the side, he saw that she looked puffed up, very good-looking.
"Could it be that His Royal Highness the Han people doesn't look down on me, a barbarian girl in the south?" Meng Yining took a sip of tea and asked angrily.
Only then did Liu Yao react, she was embarrassed, and hurriedly apologized to Meng Yining:
"Miss Yining is beautiful and fragrant, I was just joking, joking!"
Zhang Zun and Guan Xiu forced a smile on the side.
The old man saw that Liu Yao was almost recovered, so he said:
"Your Royal Highness's health is fine, after drinking this cup of tea, you should quickly return to the palace to receive the soldiers and horses from the hands of the King of Nanzhong, and the old man is here to congratulate His Highness on his victory!"
Liu Yao stretched her body, feeling that she had really healed, and couldn't help but be surprised, although she was injured by flesh and skin, she would definitely not heal without a month's recovery, let alone leave little scars.
At the moment, he was a little curious and asked:
"What kind of medicine does the old gentleman use? How can you recover so quickly? ”
The old man laughed and said:
"This method was taught by the old man's deceased best friend Doctor Meng Jie, who used the Gu worms he had stored before his death to eat away at the bruises and rotten flesh of the wound to help the growth of new meat, and with the help of the herbs prepared by the old man, His Royal Highness was able to recover so quickly."
When Guan Xiu heard that the old man's deceased friend was Meng Jie, he couldn't help but be a little shocked and asked:
"The old gentleman said that Doctor Meng Jie is the eldest brother of the old Nanwang Meng Shu?"
"Exactly." The old man nodded.
"No wonder the medical law is so, I heard my father say, in the past, when Prime Minister Zhuge led the Han army to pacify Nanzhong, the sergeant mistakenly drank the dumb spring water in Nanzhong, and his throat was ulcerated and his mouth was speechless, and he was rescued by the hermit Meng Jie of Wan'an, so that he could be cured and spared.
"Hahaha! General Xiaoguan is exaggerating, all things in the world are born and restrained, follow the Tao and nature, how can there be a broken mirror to reunite and bring the dead back to life, the shallot leaf cloud fragrance can only regenerate the skin and flesh to help the wound heal, here the grass house is the festival grass hermitage, to His Royal Highness said that the medicine taken is this thing. The old man hurriedly explained.
Liu Yao heard it in a fog, and couldn't help but be a little curious about the old man, so he asked:
"I see that the old gentleman has some fairy wind bones, I don't know what the old gentleman is called?"
The old man hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"Yamano villager, it's not worth mentioning."
Liu Yao saw that the old man didn't want to say his name, so he didn't ask any more.
The old man took out a bag from his arms and handed it to Liu Yao, Liu Yao was extremely surprised, took the bag, and asked:
"What do you mean, sir?"
The old man smiled and slowly admonished:
"Your Highness will lead the army back to Chengdu this time, if you encounter difficulties that cannot be solved, you can open this bag, and you have your own clever plan to help Your Highness."
Liu Yao accepted the bag, thanked the old man, stayed in the Jiecao Nunnery for a while, and then returned to Wangzhai with Guan Xiu, Zhang Zun and Meng Yining.
Meng Tai was patrolling the gate of the village, and when he saw Liu Yao and others returning, he welcomed them in, Meng Tai saw that Liu Yao's body had recovered, and he couldn't believe it, and beat Liu Yao's chest with his fist, and was reprimanded by Meng Yining.
Due to the heavy etiquette of the royal family, it is necessary to select various auspicious days and rules, Meng Qiu knew that Liu Yao was eager to lead the army back to Chengdu, so he just made a family affair, and after Liu Yao helped the emperor of the Han family to return to the country, he would hold a big wedding.
In the palace and Meng Qiu to discuss the marriage and marriage and send troops, Liu Yao stayed in Nanzhong for another night, the previously set Nanzhong sent 5,000 troops, after Liu Yao and Nanzhong marriage, Meng Qiu promised to send 10,000 troops.
In the early morning of the next day, in front of the Nanzhong Wangzhai, the 10,000 Nanzhong barbarian soldiers arrayed by the 36 holes were here, and the eight barbarian commanders in front of them stood motionless in front of the array with different weapons in their hands.
Liu Yao and Meng Qiu inspected the mighty and magnificent Nanzhong Army, and Meng Qiu pointed to the eight commanders in front of him and said:
"These are the warriors of the clan sent by the cave masters in Nanzhong, and this king wishes His Highness a victory!"
Liu Yao thanked Meng Qiu, and then nodded to the eight commanders, which was regarded as a greeting, and the eight commanders hurriedly knelt down on one knee towards Liu Yao, and said in unison:
"Bring a thousand barbarians under the command of the king, please review it with Your Highness!"
"Burn a thousand barbarians under the command of the king, please review it with His Royal Highness!"
"There are 1,000 barbarians under the command of King Ogo, please review it with Your Highness!"
......
"There are 3,000 barbarian soldiers under the command of the king of Nanzhong, please review it with Your Highness!"
Until the last commander finished saluting, Liu Yao hurriedly motioned for them to get up, and when he saw the commander under the command of the king of Nanzhong, Liu Yao had seen him more than once in Nanzhong, and he was very familiar, so he asked:
"What's your name?"
"The last general, Sha Si Gu!" The commander replied.
After a while, the 10,000 barbarian soldiers had been counted, Liu Yao led the army to prepare to leave, and Meng Qiu personally saw them off.
Meng Yining wanted to go with Liu Yao and see the customs of the Central Plains, she had only seen the Central Plains culture in the book, but she had never seen it in person, so of course Meng Qiu refused to let her go.
In the end, he couldn't stand Meng Yining's repeated requests, Meng Qiu promised to let Meng Yining go on the expedition with Liu Yao, and brought the king's daughter Moon Shadow to be quite martial artistic, so he let Moon Shadow protect Meng Yining's side.
Meng Lingyue also wanted to go to the Central Plains with the army to see the world, but was finally rejected by Meng Qiu, and was reprimanded.
The daylight gradually rose, and 10,000 barbarian soldiers were sent from Nanzhong Haohao Tangtang to Jianning County under the leadership of Liu Yao.
Because Liu Yao, Zhang Zunguan, and the three of them came on horseback when they came, they arrived in Nanzhong in one day, and now the army is open, except for the generals of Nanzhong and the female Yueying of the Meng family, most of the barbarians in Nanzhong are infantry, and the marching speed is far less fast than when Liu Yao came, and it took three days of marching to appear in Jianning County.
At this time, at the head of Jianning City, Luo Xi was patrolling the city, and suddenly a black line appeared outside Jianning City, followed by tens of thousands of troops gradually approaching Jianning City, Luo Xi did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered the Han soldiers to defend the city to prepare for battle, and sent a sergeant to the city to report to General Chen She and General Luo Xian.
The Han army at the head of Jianning City watched the barbarians in front of them slowly march to the outside of Jianning City, lined up in formation, and the Han army defending the city was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat, the barbarians outside the city said that there were tens of thousands of people, and there were only 3,000 Han troops in Jianning, even if the barbarians did not have siege equipment, they were afraid that they would lose both sides if they really fought.
