Chapter 220: Meng Huo led the troops back to his lair
"A Message to All Book Friends and Readers Who Read the Text"
Go to post it today.,Three Kingdoms novel post it.,I saw someone talking about personal writing.。 To be honest, I was really happy to hear that some readers commented on it. But people also said that the plot is too delayed, and this person also admits that this is indeed the case. Especially in Jingzhou, I didn't say much about this person, and I wrote it out anyway, and I couldn't help it. It may be very slow after that, you know this, in fact, this is how it is written a little bit down.
In fact, I write an essay personally, and I am really sorry for the book friends who read books like this, but I can't help it, and the level is limited after all. If an individual can explain a lot of things clearly in a few words, then it is estimated that the level of the individual will be raised to the level of a great god, which is impossible. Fortunately, there are not many book friends who subscribe to the personal article, and there are still fourteen or fifteen book friends. And for these book friends, I am personally very grateful, and I am very sorry, but in the end I can only say, anyway, everyone can read it, and it doesn't matter if you don't read it.
Others, if you are interested, take a look at your new book, White Horse World. This article is not like this book as much as possible.,And I won't sign a contract.,Personally, I think it's okay to improve.,Anyway, let's say so much.,It's really sorry for everyone.。
Although I wrote a lot of words this time, it didn't count as money, because the number of words was less than.
Meng was retired, and when Ma Chao knew the news, he just laughed it off.
He didn't send troops to chase after him. Because he felt that it was unnecessary, this was the same as what he thought and said before, it must be for Meng Shu to retreat. and then slowly keep up, and naturally he will not let him go. And he also knew that Meng Huozhen could retreat obediently if he was so light, was he willing?
If he captures him three times, he is honest, then he doesn't have to work so hard for Zhuge Liang back then. Even if his Southern Barbarian Army is almost wiped out now, it is true that this is true on the side of Yutong Mountain. But he still has a lot of people in Nanban, and this Ma Chao believes it.
At least he has more regular men than his regular Liangzhou army. As for the previous war. How many people do they still have now, according to the information of the detailed work, at least he Meng has more than 100,000 soldiers in the Southern Barbarians. That's no problem.
Meng Shu was unwilling to lead his troops to retreat. Or should it be said, whether he is willing or unwilling, he has to retreat.
Not to mention that there are no horses anymore, there is almost nothing, so there is no way to compete with Ma Chao. He didn't know why, why Ma Chao didn't come to attack or pursue. But he knew that he had to run with people as fast as he could.
And more importantly, the attitude of his wife. Meng Shu also understood that if he didn't lead the troops to retreat at this time, it was estimated that his wife would be really angry, and he would not be able to withstand his thunderous anger at that time. And he also knew that his subordinates, the two cave masters, and those generals, including Meng You, didn't want to fight with Ma Chao Liangzhou in Yutongshan anymore, the generals had no fighting spirit, what else could they expect.
With just one brother, can he beat Ma Chaoliangzhou and so many people? I can't even deal with Cui An, can I still deal with Ma Chao? I heard that people seem to be more skilled in martial arts, but I don't know if it's true or not.
So in this way, Meng Shu said unwillingly, "The whole army is leaving!" And they departed, and withdrew to the South.
It can be said that Meng Shu is definitely in high spirits this time, and then it is a typical example of leaving in disgrace.
Anyway, at least when he brought his troops here, he definitely didn't expect this, and these days of fighting actually wiped out his 150,000 troops. Then he asked Meng You to transfer 50,000, and now, there are only a few thousand left, which makes him have the face to return to Nanban.
But I have to go back, but it's just a shame. At first, I thought it was very good, I returned to Nanban with the victorious army, Ma Chao compromised with myself, and then gave Nanban countless good things, and this matter was over.
I really don't have much interest in their Han people's territory or anything, and I haven't even solved the problem of the Southern Barbarians, let alone conquering the territory of the Han people. And Meng Shu also knows that if you look at yourself to grab something, the Liangzhou Army is nothing, but if you kill people and seize land, it is estimated that Ma Chao will not have to fight with himself.
Therefore, Meng Shu let himself occupy the city and county, in fact, it is not permanent, but it is just the beginning of temporary supply.
He found out that the Han people regarded the land as very important. This is a little worse than the alien race, at least the alien race doesn't value territory or anything too much. If this place is occupied, they can migrate to other places and find another place to live.
If it is a nomadic people, it is even simpler, do they live by water and grass, as long as there is water and grass enough, they can live. And people don't have any houses or anything like that, they are all felt tents, and they can be taken away directly. Although the Nanban is not like this, it is much simpler than the Han people.
When foreign races look at Han people, they can't understand it too much. In their opinion, if their home is occupied, they can just run away to another place. But the Han people seem to be inseparable from their homeland, and some people would even rather die in their hometown than prepare to run away. Such a thing is difficult for them to understand.
Also, if you ask a person of another race where your home is, he won't tell you exactly where it is, basically he will tell you where the water and grass are abundant. In fact, it's all his home, or the grasslands are his home.
If you ask a Han Chinese, where is your home? If he lives in a different race, he may reply that his home is in Dahan, but he may need to add some state and county later.
However, most people, when asked him, the other party must say in what state and county, or even accurate to a village, that is his home.
This may be the difference in cultural practices. After all, few Han people will say that there is a place where there is one's own home. It's a big difference from the other. Or you can think about it this way, in fact, the alien race seems to be at ease with what happens, but the Han people, of course, are not unable to adapt to the environment. But in my heart. Most people will always think that it is better to stay home. And after he dies, he will definitely be buried in his hometown, the so-called "tree is a thousand feet high, and the leaves fall back to the roots".
Meng Shu left unwillingly, leaving with thousands of remnants, but he said in his heart. Ma Chao, Liangzhou Jun, you wait. One day, this king will show you the power of our army! ――
Meng Shu left with the men and the remnants of the army, and half an hour later, Ma Chao also ordered the whole army to set off.
Now Ma Chao still has more than 70,000 horses, when Meng Yu asked Meng You to go back to Nanban to move troops and transfer troops, Ma Chao also gave Zhang Song in Chengdu a letter of his own, so in the end, Meng Yu's people and horses plus Duosi King and Yang Feng each 20,000, Meng You transferred 50,000 troops from Nanban, and finally more than 110,000. And after Ma Chao added 50,000 horses, it was almost this number.
But later, because Yang Feng's son was captured alive, Yang Feng could only unite with Ma Chao, and then killed King Duosi, causing chaos in the Bald Dragon Cave, and when Ma Chao's army came, it was equivalent to more than 140,000 people against Meng Shu, which can be said to be twice as much. As a result, after Meng was defeated once, he immediately turned back and fought again with Ma Chao's Liangzhou army, and in the end he only had more than 20,000 people left, while Ma Chao still had more than 80,000.
Seeing that Ma Chao's Liangzhou army was much more than Meng Huonan's barbarian army, in fact, it was not-
Because the previous Liangzhou army was actually similar to Meng Shu's people, even if it was less than them, it was actually not a few thousand people less.
Therefore, it was mainly because of the men and horses of Yang Feng's Yinye Cave and the men and horses of the Bald Dragon Cave of the King of Duosi that they created chaos and fought to the death with Meng Huonan's barbarian army, which gave Ma Chao a chance and reduced the casualties of the Liangzhou army a lot.
Because the men and horses of their two caves combined, they were already 40,000, and Meng Shu had more than 70,000 left at that time. After Ma Chao's Liangzhou army joined in, it could be said that it was twice as many, so after Meng won two major defeats, he only had more than 20,000 people left, while Ma Chao still had about 80,000 people left.
Ma Chao's Liangzhou army suffered fewer casualties, but he was because of the help of Yang Feng's Yinye Cave and the people of Duosi's Bald Dragon Cave during the first war. So from more than 70,000 people to more than 20,000 people, he lost nearly 50,000 horses. And Ma Chao went from about 110,000 to more than 80,000, and he lost nearly 30,000.
And later, when Meng got more than 20,000 horses and attacked Ma Chao again, he only had a few thousand people left, and Ma Chao still had about 70,000 people.
Generally speaking, the combat power of the Liangzhou army is definitely stronger than that of the Nanban soldiers, this is for sure. But it's not a big difference, it's a world of difference.
The main reason is that a lot of the Southern Barbarian soldiers have escaped, and this is the reason, or the Ma Chaoliangzhou army has lost more than this. That's it, in fact, if you count it, his loss is not small. Because in the case of the desperate death of the Southern Barbarian soldiers, it is impossible to avoid casualties.
So Ma Chao didn't write to Chengdu this time and asked Zhang Song to transfer troops, although some people built it like this, but Ma Chao still didn't do it after that. After all, it is not so easy to transfer troops, there are only a total of how many people and horses there are in Yizhou, and the regular army of Liangzhou Army has about 200,000, which is up to the sky.
Don't think 200,000 is less. Let's just say how many people Liu Bei has, yes, Yizhou has a lot of population. But the more people and horses, the heavier the burden on the people. Even if Ma Chaoliangzhou's army has enough money and food, but it hasn't said that all the territories will be exempted from taxes, so he has 200,000 regular soldiers and horses in Yizhou, which can be said to be a lot, and this is not counting the county soldiers in other places, so don't you have to ask for money and food support?
Meng Yu ran back to the silver pit to finish. Of course, this silver pit cave is not a silver smelting cave. Yinye Cave is Yang Feng's territory, and Yinye Cave is naturally Meng Huo's territory, and the two of them are in their sphere of influence. It can be said that they are far apart, and there are more than a county in between. If you want to talk about it, Yang Feng's Yinye Cave is slightly closer to King Duosi's Bald Dragon Cave, much closer than Meng Shu's Yinye Cave.
This place is not too far from Yutong Mountain. So Ma Chao slowly let the army follow behind.
Originally, what Meng Huo thought was very good. thought that Ma Chao would not chase after him, but there was really no movement. But after waiting for more than an hour, Tanma came to report that Ma Chaoliangzhou Army was following them slowly.
This made Meng Shu scared, for fear that Ma Chao would capture them all. So he made the whole army march at the fastest speed, and soon returned to Yinkengdong, which is also his lair.
Not only does it have its own forces here, but also the forces of the Golden Ring Three Knots and Ah Hui Lan are also here. There is also the power of Mrs. Zhurong, and the people who brought the cave master are not far from here. So Meng was convinced. If Ma Chao really dares to follow, he will definitely have no return, and maybe his ideal will be realized-
Knowing that Meng Shu was back, his subordinates who stayed in the Yinkeng Cave naturally came out early to greet him.
In this respect, the people of different races, especially the Nanban, are actually about the same as the Han people. But it's definitely not a courtesy, those things, it's just a small part.
To put it bluntly, they are like this, not because they are trying to save the face of Meng Hou, the barbarian king, after all, everyone is doing things under him. Moreover, Meng Huo, as the barbarian king of their area and the cave master of the Silver Pit Cave, is indeed the strongest in power and strength. And with the help of Mrs. Zhurong's sisters and brothers, no one can be more powerful than him in this piece.
And they all know that their king can be said to have a particularly bad temper, I have heard it a long time ago, and his people were really defeated in the hands of Ma Chaoliangzhou Army in Yutongshan, and now they are returning to the east, if these people don't come out to greet them, it is estimated that Dong Di will be the fate of everyone.
all know that Dong Di's death is said to have betrayed the clan, so in the end he was forced to commit suicide-
But this is all from Meng Huonan's barbarian army, it is he himself who said so, but what the truth is, no one has seen this, but it is unknown. Who knows, whether it was because Dong Dana offended his people, and then let him find an excuse to kill him, this is not impossible, but it is very likely.
Meng Yu led people back to Yinye Cave, but he left Meng You and a few generals stationed in Sanjiang City. This place can be said to be the gateway of Yinye Cave, if Sanjiang City is broken, then Ma Chao's army from the west will be against his own tribe, so Meng Shu will definitely let his trusted people be stationed in Sanjiang City.
Before, because there was no big threat, he was leading troops to attack others, so the defense of Sanjiang City was not so strict. After all, this piece of Meng Huo is the strongest force, and no one dares to touch him, he is a barbarian king. So who else can be afraid of, if someone came from afar to attack him, he would have found out a long time ago, and then prepared.
Whether it is Ma Chaoliangzhou's army or the cave masters of other caves in Nanban, in fact, they dare to come, and Meng Shu dares to kill them-
In fact, Sanjiang City is a city, it is a good city, but in fact, it is not a city in the traditional sense.
This Sanjiang City is just the name given by the people of Nanban, of course, Ma Chao is also called that, and it is also marked on the map. But this so-called city is definitely not a standard city, at least it is not a stone city like the Han people. To put it bluntly, it is actually a village, but it is a big village, and it is definitely the largest village in Nanban.
There are hundreds of thousands of people in the village, which is not a problem at all, in fact, this Sanjiang City is not an exaggeration to say that it is the largest village in the world. This is how many thousands of people were built by Meng Shu on the basis of the predecessors, and how much manpower and material resources were spent and time, which led to today's Sanjiang City.
This is indeed in line with the living habits of the Southern Barbarians, they do not mean that they live in a city like the Han people, if they do, they will not be used to it. And they like this kind of big village, they live in wooden houses or bamboo buildings and other places, this is the living habit of Nanban.
Of course, many leaders of the Southern Barbarians call this cave master and that cave master, and this is true, there are also people who live in caves, but they are definitely not the majority, or they all become savages.
Although the people of the Nanban tribe, compared with the Qiang people, Xianbei people, and Huns, their words are indeed more like savages, but they are definitely much stronger than savages, and this is definitely it.
Seeing that his king had returned with everyone and men, his generals hurriedly said in unison, "Welcome back the king!" ”
If Meng wins and returns, he must add the word victory, saying that he will return victorious, but obviously, who is stupid at this time to say this? Their news can be said to be really well-informed, and they are all clear about how many times their king has been defeated.
"Good! Guys, let's go back to the silver pothole! ”
"Yes!" ――
There are only Meng You and a few generals, they have long stayed, and they have to take over Sanjiang City.
And Meng Shu and the others returned directly to the silver pit cave. Along the way, he talked a lot about Meng Shu and his sister. However, this kid is also clever, and he didn't mention a word about the war with Ma Chao's Liangzhou army. (To be continued......)
