"How does the Barbarian King feel?" Liu Yi smiled and looked at Meng Huo, who was constipated, and said with his fingers: "This is the fourth time, don't you think the food here is good, come to eat, right?" ”

"If you want to kill, you will kill, why insult me!" Meng Shu broke out and roared at Liu Yi, the voice was sad and desperate, alarming the soldiers outside the camp, and some guards rushed into the hall quickly, looking at Meng Shu with a wary face.

"I can kill you the first time, why wait until now!" Liu Yi shook his head, looked at Meng Shu and said, "Didn't you say it before?" Within three days, if I can capture you alive again, you will surrender sincerely, it seems that the barbarian king is ready to break his promise again this time? ”

"How can I be convinced that you are only engaged in intrigue like this?" Meng Shu glared at Liu Yi and said dissatisfiedly, after so many battles, none of them were understood, although he knew that most of them were not Liu Yi's opponents, but he couldn't vent this breath in his heart.

"I've captured you four times and released you three times!" Liu Yi stood up, walked to Meng Huo's side, pulled out a short knife from Guan Xing's waist, helped Meng Huo break the rope on his body, looked at Meng Huo and said: "Even if I let you live three times, now it is the fourth time, I will give you another chance to show all the tricks you can think of, although I like to be kind to others, but patience is limited after all." ”

"You want to let me go?" Meng Shu looked at Liu Yi with some disbelief.

"The door is over there, yes or no, you can try it yourself." Liu Yi didn't answer him, just played with the short knife in his hand and said: "Now, my patience has been almost exhausted, next time I will be captured alive, if I am not convinced, believe me, I have the ability to set up a more obedient barbarian king, and as a loser, your fate will be very miserable, and when the time comes, it will not be just you who will die, and you will not be able to grasp the five opportunities you have not been able to grasp. ”

A look of fear flashed in Meng Shu's eyes, since Liu Yi said that he would let him go four times, if he really wanted to settle accounts with himself, Meng Shu had no doubt that Liu Yi would really do this, and said solemnly at the moment: "Next time, if I capture you alive, I will spare your life!" ”

"In addition, ......" Liu Yi looked at Meng Yu and said: "Your wife, the cave master, in addition to Dong Dana and Ah Huilan, you can only take two, how do you choose?" ”

"My wife still brought it." After Meng Shu was silent for a moment, he looked at Liu Yi and said in a deep voice.

"Good!" Liu Yi stroked his palms and smiled: "Bring it up." ”

Immediately, someone brought Mrs. Zhurong and the cave master in, and Liu Yi asked people to loosen their ties.

"You know I'm going to pick them?" Meng Yu looked at Liu Yi with a shocked expression.

"Go all the way, in addition, Mrs. Zhurong and the soldiers and horses who brought the cave master can be put back." Liu Yi waved his hand and said.

"Thank you!" Meng Shu suppressed the horror in his heart, and after bowing to Liu Yi, he took Mrs. Zhurong and the cave master to leave.

"Bring it with you." Liu Yi looked at the direction Meng Shu left and said to the outside of the tent.

Dong Dana and Ah Huilan were brought into the hall by two soldiers, in fact, the four of them were here before, no matter how Meng Huo chosen, Liu Yi could bring people out at the first time, but the four of them were divided into two groups, according to common sense, Meng Huo would pick one person in each of these two groups when he was amused.

"See Mohou!" The two entered the hall and saluted Liu Yi respectfully, with a bit of resentment in their eyes, but it was not aimed at Liu Yi.

"It seems that your king has forsaken you." Liu Yi smiled: "Next, what should I do, you should have a number in your heart?" ”

"We are willing to surrender to Mohou sincerely, but if we are sent, we will serve the dead!" Dong Dana and Ah Huinan glanced at each other and bowed.

Since Meng Huo chose Mrs. Zhurong and brought the cave master, and abandoned them without hesitation, then there is nothing to say about their betrayal of Meng Huo.

No matter how he chooses, Meng Shu is at a loss, but Meng Shu made a choice so simply, which is equivalent to simply giving up his original subordinates, in the previous battle, Liu Yi has already noticed that Meng Shu's command and control over the three major cave lords under his command are weak and pitiful, with these two people, they can help themselves persuade many barbarians to break away from Meng Huo, the barbarian king.

Of course, if Meng Huo chooses the two of them, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Mrs. Zhurong to do it, it can be seen that the woman is desperate for Meng Huo, and it is not easy to separate, but fortunately, even if Meng Huo has many shortcomings, at a critical time, he is still affectionate and righteous, so that Liu Yi can easily win the allegiance of the marshal of these two caves.

This war is like doing business, you can only win if you make money, otherwise if you lose, you will win the war, and it will only be spent to make money.

After being laid out in Nanzhong for so long, it's time to start closing the net.

"The silver pit has been lowered, but the people of all ethnic groups have not yet returned to their hearts, I want to ask you two to help me persuade all ethnic groups." Liu Yi helped the two up and smiled.

"We will obey the order!" Dong Dana and Ah Hui murmured.

Yinkeng Cave is also Kunchi, and Zhurong Cave is separated from Kunchi (Erhai Lake), rich in silver mines, Liu Yi has coveted this place for a long time, and now he has finally taken it down, Liu Yi's influence and control in this southern Xinjiang land is strong enough, which is why he has no patience to play with Meng Huo anymore, not that the strength is strong, the strength of the Han army has never been weak, but in this southern barbarian land, there is already enough mass base, and it is not a black eye, Meng Huo, the barbarian king, has suffered several defeats, The forces, including his old nest silver pit, have also been gradually disintegrated by Liu Yi, and the name of the barbarian king is no longer worthy of the name, for the current Liu Yi, there is no need to continue this game of cat and mouse.

At that moment, Liu Yi ordered the army to leave the city and go to Yinkengdong, Liu Yi was ready to build a city on the bank of this Kunchi, which had been planned before.

In the entire southern middle of the country, there are not many places where a city can be built, and even if there is, it can only be built as a small city, and if the city occupies too much land, it will compress the space for the people to cultivate.

……

On the other side, Meng Shu took Mrs. Zhu Rong and the cave master who brought it, as well as three thousand remnants to leave Liu Yi's walled city, but after leaving, Meng Shu was a little dazed, the silver pit cave was no longer a foundation, Zhu Rong and the clansmen who brought the two of them basically defected in these wars, and now Meng Huo suddenly felt cornered.

Why did he fight with Liu Yi again? Is it just the 3,000 men and horses in your hands?

"Husband, why don't you leave?" Mrs. Zhurong noticed Meng Shu's strange appearance, rode over, and wondered.

"Let's go? Where to go? Meng Shu closed his eyes, the only thing he can go to now seems to be Yongchang County, but he has withdrawn his troops, according to Liu Yi's calculations, it is not known whether Yongchang County is still in his hands now, and that place is not long after all, there is no foundation, even if he goes, I am afraid it will only humiliate Liu Yi again.

Mrs. Zhurong hesitated for a moment, looked at Meng Shu and said, "Husband, the concubine is not a villain, why do you want to keep fighting against him?" ”

At this point, Mrs. Zhu Rong actually didn't want to continue to fight against Liu Yi.

"Why?" Meng Shu looked ahead, shook his head and said, "Then Liu Yi may be a good official, but he can't be here all the time, after he leaves, what will happen to the new Han official?" What were the officials of the Han Dynasty in the past, Madame should know. ”

"But now where are I waiting for the soldiers and horses to fight the Marquis of Namo again?" Mrs. Zhurong frowned.

"I sent someone to the country of Ugo to ask for help, but did you send it?" Meng Shu looked at the main road that brought the cave.

"Someone has already been sent, but the country of Ugo is quite far away, and I am afraid it will be difficult to come for a while." The Cave Master nodded, then frowned again.

The country of Naugo is not close to here.

"It's good to come, with the help of that vulture bone, I'll gather some cave masters later, and I may not have the strength to fight!" Meng Shu said in a deep voice.

"But I must have a place to settle now, otherwise how will the three thousand warriors be placed?" Mrs. Zhurong frowned.

"There's always a way." Hearing this, Meng Shu was silent for a moment and then said.

The cave master on the side suddenly patted his head and said, "Wang, I have a friend, maybe you can go and run!" ”

"Oh?" Meng Shu was interested, looked at the cave master and said, "Who is it?" ”

"Three hundred miles west from here, there is a dangerous place, called the Bald Dragon Cave, the Lord of the Bald Dragon Cave is my friend, we can go to him temporarily, the terrain here is dangerous, and it also avoids the Han army, and you can gather all ethnic groups to fight together, just wait for the reinforcements of the Ugo country to arrive, and then fight with that Liu Yi!" Bring the cave master a little excited.

"This person ......" Meng frowned when he heard this: "Is it reliable?" ”

Shamoke's betrayal hit Meng Shu hard, and now he is always suspicious of people other than his cronies.

"Don't worry, the lord of the Bald Dragon Cave lives here, and he has little contact with outsiders, and he has no intersection with the Han people, and I also made friends by chance, so there will be no problem." Bring the assurances of the cave master.

"So ......" Meng Shu thought about it, now he has nowhere to go, maybe he can find a new opportunity in this Bald Dragon Cave Master, and he decided to go straight to the Bald Dragon Cave at the moment.

……

Meng Shu went to the Bald Dragon Cave to ask for help, Liu Yi's side, after completely occupying the silver pit, Liu Yi really felt the wealth of the silver pit, the utensils used by the residents here are made of silver, although silver is not yet a circulating currency, but it is also a precious metal, generally giving gifts or something, silver jewelry is also very high-grade, this silver pit area, not only rich in silver mines, but also several open-pit silver mines, this is a windfall.

Liu Yi felt that if conditions permitted, he could discuss with Liu Bei whether silver could be circulated as a higher-level currency of five baht coins, and if so, the value of this silver pit was almost equivalent to the entire land of Nanzhong in the past.

It's a pity that Meng Shu has such a treasure land, but he doesn't know how to develop and utilize it, which is really a bit of a waste!
