When he followed Liu Yi back to the camp, Meng Shu suddenly found out...... This is simply an empty camp, Liu Yi basically took all the people in the camp out to block him, this result made Meng Shu extremely annoyed, he knew that this was the case, he should have gone here, let Liu Yi pounce.

"Mohou, Meng Huo and the others have been placed in the camp, and Meng Huo is clamoring to see you." Wu Ban came to Liu Yi to give the order.

"Let's put it there for now, and then dispose of it after the army gathers here." Liu Yi looked at the sky, it was completely dark, he felt that it was better to dry Meng Shu first, if there was anything, he would talk about it tomorrow.

"Whoa!" Wu Ban agreed, turned around and left.

"Mo Hou, are you still going to let him go?" Yan Yan came to Liu Yi's side and asked.

"Hmm." Liu Yi nodded.

"Why bother?" Yan Yan frowned and said: "I have lived in Brazil for a long time, this Nanban people are capricious, Mohou is able to make Nanban intimidated this time, but after a long time, I am afraid that there will be two hearts." ”

"This Nanban land is not easy to control, most of the reason is that the road is difficult to travel, and there is discrimination between the Han and the barbarians, this time I came to Nanzhong, it is for this reason, surrendering Meng Shu, it is only the first step, and then, it may take a few years to make the land of Nanzhong not only not become a burden to my Han, but also a treasure land for my Han!" Liu Yi said with a smile.

"How easy is it to say?" Yan Yan admired Liu Yi for having such ambitions, but he had lived in Shu since he was a child, and the experience passed down from generation to generation was already deep-rooted in the troubles of the Southern Barbarians, and he didn't think that Liu Yi could do it.

"It's not easy to do, if you play Shuzhong in the future, you won't have time to take care of this place in the south." Liu Yi shook his head with a smile, and then diverted the topic: "The old general has lived in Bashu for a long time, do you know how many clans there are in this land of Bashu?" ”

"This ......" Yan Yan counted with his fingers, looked at Liu Yi and said: "Some veterans of the big clans in Nanzhong know it, but this barbarian clan in Nanzhong lives in a hole, and a hole is counted as a clan, not to mention that there are hundreds of clans, right?" ”

How many clans are there in the land of Nanzhong, don't say Yan Yan, I'm afraid even Meng Shu can't figure it out.

"The population of 100 ethnic groups, in my opinion, is only hundreds of thousands, this Nanzhong is large enough to make up for 30% of the land of Bashu compared with the land of Bashu?" Liu Yi sighed.

Yan Yan nodded and said: "This land in the south has been a barren place since ancient times, and Mohou should have seen and heard along the way, although the climate is pleasant, but there is miasma everywhere, people and animals cannot survive, and naturally there is no population." ”

"It's a pity that life is too short, if you give me a hundred years, I will definitely be able to turn this southern land into a fairyland on earth!" Liu Yi shook his head and sighed.

"Mohou's ability, the veteran is also quite admired, but this population is a problem." Yan Yan shook his head and sighed, now that the world has been fighting for years, the population of the world has been greatly damaged, and the land of Bashu is better, but it is not an easy thing to increase the population in this southern middle school.

"When Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions, he found that there was a road leading to poison from here, if it could be excavated and become another Silk Road, why worry about no population?" Liu Yi said with a smile.

"The road of poison is just a rumor, the veteran lives here, and I have only heard some rumors about this road, but in the past hundred years, I have never seen a drug dealer here." Yan Yan shook his head and said, "How could Mo Hou be curious about this matter? ”

"If you have a chance, send someone to take a look." Liu Yi said with a smile, he remembered that this area of Yunnan, not far from the Indus Valley, if you can establish diplomatic relations, there are many benefits, of course, after dominating the world, if there is still time, you might as well knock this area down, it will be a huge granary for the Han, but this has great requirements for transportation costs, it is best to be able to carry out shipping in this area of Jiaozhou, it will be faster, but the opening of the route is not an overnight thing, you can build a sea ship, but how to navigate...... In this regard, the whole world is out of a blank, can only continue to explore, if there is not enough interests, it is not realistic to rely on the imperial court to contribute, for now it is more reliable to go along the coastal land.

The night was dark, Liu Yi chatted with Yan Yan for some gossip, and then mainly listened to Yan Yan say some legends in Shu, and the time passed not slowly, in the second half of the night, Huang Zhong and Yang Ren returned first, bringing a large number of prisoners.

Early the next morning, Lu Lingqi, Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, and Zhao Guang escorted more prisoners over, and Liu Yi ordered Huang Zhong and Yang Ren to escort those prisoners who were not too important to the other two military camps, and on the main camp side, only the descendants of Meng Shu and Mrs. Zhu Rong were left.

It wasn't until the third day, when everything was dealt with, that Liu Yi met Meng Shu.

"Is the barbarian king convinced?" Looking at Meng Shu, who had an ugly face, Liu Yi asked again.

"How can you convince me by trickery?" Meng Shou stiffened his neck and snorted coldly.

"Junior, listen to Mohou say, you have also read the art of war, and you are not tired of deceit!" Yan Yan was very dissatisfied with Meng Shu's performance, raised his eyebrows, and snorted coldly: "Although they are not of the same race, the old man has also heard that the barbarian warriors are all brave and brave, and when I see it today, I know that the rumors cannot be believed, you are a barbarian king, but you act without faith, how can you convince the public?" ”

Meng Shu's face was red, and he glared at Yan Yan fiercely: "If you want to kill, you will kill, since I, Meng Shu, have been captured today, I have never thought of leaving alive." ”

"You brute, don't you listen? Do you have to lose face? Yan Yan was dumbfounded and scolded angrily when he heard this.

"Humph!" Meng Huo's old face flushed, and he turned his head to ignore him.

"Alright." Liu Yi waved his hand, signaling Yan Yanmo to scold him again, looked at Meng Shu and said with a smile: "I came to Nanzhong this time to come for peace between the two clans, and if you can't be convinced, then I will let you go again, but if I am captured alive next time, what will happen?" ”

"If you are captured alive again, Meng Shu will never complain, and he will definitely be convinced!" Meng Shu said in a deep voice.

"Good!" Liu Yi nodded and said, "Loosen the tie and let him go back." ”

"Mohou, this ......" The generals were puzzled, got up and wanted to persuade, but were stopped by Liu Yi with his eyes.

had his own personal guards to help Meng Huo loosen his ties, Meng Huo moved his wrist, looked at Liu Yi and said, "Last time I heard someone call you Tinghou, why did you become Mohou now?" ”

"I've been promoted, thanks to you." Liu Yi said with a smile.

"......" Meng Shu didn't know how to express his feelings, and after a moment of silence, he said in a muffled voice: "I heard that my wife is also being detained here, can you ......?"

"Let's let it go." Liu Yi waved his hand.

"Thank you!" Meng Shu was really grateful this time, and said solemnly to Liu Yi.

Liu Yi looked at the back of Meng Shu leaving, groped his chin and thought about how to capture him next time, and said to Guan Xing and Zhang Bao beside him: "Let his men and horses go too." ”

"Whoa!" Guan Xing and Zhang Bao are now looking forward to Liu Yi, and they didn't hesitate at all when they heard the words, and they took the order and left.

Wu Ban stood up and saluted Liu Yi and said, "Mohou, is this matter a little out of order?" ”

"Oh?" Liu Yi smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt if General Wu has something to say. ”

"Whoa!" Wu Ban was also not polite, and frowned: "Although these rebels are the wisdom of Lai Mohou, they are also desperately exchanged by the soldiers of the three armies, and now they are let go so easily, how can they convince the three armies?" Let them go today, come back tomorrow, don't say that our army does not have many soldiers and horses, even if there are 100,000 troops, they can't withstand such a toss! ”

"It's a problem." Liu Yi nodded and said: "Judging from the war, we have no reason to release them, but I discussed the matter of Nanzhong with General Yan last night, and I know that this land in Nanzhong is not only his Yi clan, in fact, this barbarian army is composed of more than a dozen clans, and the hearts of the people are not aligned. ”

"Keep them, I waited to come to Nanzhong this time, I want to dissolve their anger with kindness and righteousness, so that they can be used by me, if they are all strangled, it will only add hatred, if they are collected for their own use, the generals are afraid that it will be difficult to believe, stay in the camp, these many horses and horses, it is also a huge burden on our army's food and grass, but if it is released, it may have a miraculous effect."

When Wu Ban heard this, he looked at Liu Yi suspiciously, puzzled.

"These barbarian armies, several defeated by our army, must have been afraid of our army in their hearts, if Meng Shu uses them again, when the battle is imminent, it will be timid, such emotions will be spread to other barbarian armies, and it will be easier to fight again." Liu Yi said with a smile: "Secondly, these people will return to all ethnic groups, they will inevitably be grateful for their kindness, among 10,000 people, even if only one hundred people are grateful for the kindness of our army, this kindness will spread, and it will make it easier for these barbarians of all ethnic groups to accept the governance of our army, what we want is not only victory, but also people's hearts, people's hearts cannot be exchanged for killing, so in this way, General Wu may approve?" ”

"The last general will not dare!" Wu Ban bowed.

"Okay, now that you know, let's go down and prepare, Meng Huo's headquarters can be let go directly, and the rest of the people and horses will be divided into the camps of Huang Zhong and Yang Ren, after Meng Huo leaves, I will personally go to release it, and I will know that it is righteous, and the generals will need to work hard for a while, this Meng Shu will be defeated a few times, and the hearts of the people in Nanzhong will almost belong to me, and when the time comes, if Meng Huo is still unwilling to surrender, it will be disposed of by the generals." Liu Yi looked at everyone and smiled.

"The last general commands!" The generals hurriedly got up and bowed to Liu Yi.

In the afternoon of the same day, after Liu Yi let Meng Shu and his subordinates go, he personally went to the two camps of Huang Zhong and Yang Ren, gathered the captured barbarian army, offered wine and food, and recruited the cave masters.

When the cave masters of all ethnic groups heard that Liu Yi was going to let them return, they naturally agreed again and again, and thanked Liu Yi for their kindness.

Although I don't say all of them, there are indeed many people in these clans who miss Liu Yi's kindness, and after being released back by Liu Yi, they took their own horses back to their caves, unwilling to be called by Meng Huo again.

And Liu Yi didn't let all the barbarians go, some of the barbarians who died in the war were willing to stay, Liu Yi could also arrange their livelihood, and after all the captured barbarians were released, Liu Yi had three more barbarians on his side, and he was willing to be dispatched by Liu Yi.
