Ma Chao felt that no matter how much he talked to Meng Huo at this time, it would be useless, so he said directly to Meng Shu: "Barbarian King, Meng Shu, or let's still be the same, just like the previous two times, your Southern Barbarian military supplies will redeem you, how about it?" ”

When Meng Shu heard this, he said in his heart that this dare is good, didn't he always want to be like this, so he hurriedly said: "Ma Chao, you gentleman said!" ”

"It's hard to chase a horse!"

"Well, in that case, that's it! But you should also know that we don't have much supplies over there, and it is estimated that it will take some time to transport them from Nanban! ”

Of course, Meng Huo knows his own family's affairs, and what else does the Southern Barbarian Army have now, it can be said that there is nothing except for the men and horses and a little food and grass. So it's not clear in my heart, my wife is definitely going to transfer supplies.

Ma Chao nodded when he heard this, "It's no problem, anyway, when your envoy comes tomorrow, it's okay to say it!" ”――

Meng Shu nodded reassuringly, he was indeed not afraid of Ma Chao's return, because he also knew that Ma Chao could be said to be very trustworthy.

After that, Meng Yu was taken down, and then Ma Chao also let everyone rest. As for tomorrow's story, of course, that's tomorrow. And tonight is so late, and the Southern Barbarian Army has just retreated twenty miles, so Ma Chao also knows. At this time, Mrs. Zhurong would not be so anxious, so she sent a messenger. There is no need.

But early tomorrow morning, I will be sure that they are coming, and Ma Chao knows this very well.

Everyone said goodbye, and sure enough, early in the morning, the messenger sent by Mrs. Zhurong came. After a while of discussion, in the end, it was the same as the previous two times, using the same materials. in exchange for Meng Huo.

In this regard, it can be said that everyone is familiar with the road, after all, this is not the first time, counting this time. That's the third time.

Sent away the envoys of the Southern Barbarian Army. Ma Chao asked the soldiers to inform the generals, and said that six days later, he would exchange with Mrs. Zhurong. It's still the same as before, it's one hand to deliver and one hand to people.

Meng Shu was under house arrest by Ma Chao just like the previous two times. But fortunately, he also eats and drinks well against him every day, and he doesn't abuse him or anything. After all, he is also a barbarian king. Even if it's just his piece, and it's not recognized. But that's not a big deal. At least the strength and strength of his people are indeed the strongest in Nanban, and this is not wrong.

A few days later, Meng You returned from Nanban with people and supplies, and Mrs. Zhurong greeted him in person with everyone.

"Sister-in-law, I'm back!"

"It's good to come back, go back to the big tent!"

"Yes!" ――

There were soldiers to carry supplies, and Meng You followed his sister-in-law back to the big tent. As for talking about others, Mrs. Zhurong didn't call them, and they naturally left. They also all knew that this Mrs. Zhurong had something to say to Meng You, so she didn't let everyone go together.

After arriving at the big tent, Mrs. Zhurong said briefly, "A few days ago, I sent someone to negotiate with Ma Chao, and said that I would exchange with him the day after tomorrow!" ”

Meng Wei nodded, "Sister-in-law, it seems that the little brother is quite timely when he comes back!" ”

"Yes, you're faster than I expected!"

"How many things did you bring with you this time?"

"Sister-in-law, there are ...... this time"

"Enough, okay, we'll meet Ma Chao again the day after tomorrow!"

"Yes!" ――

Two days later, on the day agreed between the Southern Barbarian Army and Ma Chao, Ma Chao and Mrs. Zhurong met ten miles away from the camps of both sides.

This is where they said that they had discussed, and then it was still the same as before, or Mrs. Zhurong handed over the materials to Ma Chao first, and after the Liangzhou sergeant finished counting, Ma Chao asked people to transport them first, and then after half an hour, they let Meng Shu go back.

As a result, the first thing Mrs. Zhurong said when she saw Meng Shu was, "King, shouldn't you go back this time?" ”

When Meng Shu heard this, he said in his heart Sure enough, his wife still hasn't forgotten this, and she has always remembered it.

"This, since Madame has said so, then go back, alas!"

When Mrs. Zhurong heard this, she obviously didn't expect that her husband, her own king, would agree so simply at this time-

She didn't understand Meng Shu's thoughts, in his opinion, now that he has nothing, just a few thousand people, what else can he do? So it's better to listen to your wife's words and go back to Nanban directly.

Of course, Meng Shu definitely didn't mean to stop there, what he wanted was to stabilize his wife first, then go to Nanban, then reorganize his troops and horses, and then kill again. He still didn't believe that he could continue to lose like this. If you can't win against Ma Chao, how can you let your family compromise with you.

Now that he has been captured three times, this is a compromise between himself and others, and he has used so many things in exchange for his freedom.

After the exchange, it was "each back to his own home, each looking for his own mother", Ma Chao took people back to the Liangzhou Army camp, and Meng Shu and them also returned to their own Southern Barbarian Army camp-

On the way back, Cui An said to his lord: "Lord, why don't you let us lead the troops to attack the camp of the Southern Barbarian Army again, this will definitely win!" ”

Ma Chao smiled, "Don't forget our purpose, their thousands of remnants will naturally not be able to resist the strong attack of our army." But even if Meng Huosheng is captured alive again like this, he will still disobey us, so in the end it is still useless, so forget it! ”

"Oh."

When Cui An heard it, it seemed that his lord had a point, the surname Meng was really too laid, and he had never seen such a scoundrel!

At this time, Ma Chao asked Lu Xun: "I don't know what Boyan thinks?" ”

Lu Xun smiled when he heard this, "Lord, my subordinates estimate that Meng Shu may have to withdraw his troops!" ”――

happened to arrive at the camp, and after entering the big tent, Ma Chao asked Lu Xun to continue what he said before, "What Bo Yan said is the same as my thoughts, but also tell me your opinion?" ”

"No! Now Meng Huo is almost nothing, the key is that Mrs. Zhurong is herself, but she is not so much in favor of her people entering the army, so if he Meng Huo can still transfer troops and reinforcements before, now his subordinates think that under the pressure of his wife, he has to return to Nanban first, and then make plans! ”

Ma Chao couldn't help nodding when he heard this, in fact, his own thoughts were not like this, but he Meng was returned to Nanban, could he let him go? Obviously, it's impossible, if this Nanban matter is not solved well, it will be a heart disease of oneself after all.

Lu Xun naturally knew what his lord was thinking, so he asked, "Does this lord mean to continue to march into the army?" ”

"That's true, if Meng Shu wants to retreat, then our army naturally wants to advance! I don't know what Boyan thinks? ”

"My subordinates thought so! Now the shape shì is very good for our army, so the lord should transfer troops, and then continue to march! ”――

When Ma Chao heard that Lu Xun agreed, he seemed satisfied, and then asked everyone, "I don't know what you think?" ”

"We agree with the words of the lord!"

Everyone echoed in unison, in fact, they told the truth, if their lord really didn't have any war, they could only obediently go back to their station. So in order to make more meritorious contributions, and to be able to really fight on the battlefield again, of course they agree with their lord's opinion.

And it's true, even if Ma Chao doesn't say that, they have to say this in the end, because everyone really doesn't want to do it like that. If it is said that he stays in the Taishou Mansion all day long, it is really more meaningful not to follow his lord to fight against foreign races.

Indeed, many of them felt that they had not fought on the battlefield for several years, and at the beginning, some things felt a little rusty.

Of course, it's not that it's unfamiliar, it's just unfamiliar, but after a few days of familiarity, there's nothing unfamiliar after that. After all, it was often before, but it was just that he hadn't fought with his lord in the past two years.

"Good! Since everyone thinks that this should be the case, then our army will rest in place again, and when Meng Shu and he will retreat, we will slowly follow and go straight to Nanban! ”

"No! The Lord is wise! ”

Everyone was happy in their hearts, and there were really few people who had gone over there, so they also wanted to see what they were like in Nanban. (To be continued......)
