Chapter 153: They are all courtiers of the Great Han
"Hey, hey."
Zhao Hao listened to Xue Zhi's return with a handful of snot and tears, and kept smiling, and his mouth was almost grinning to the back of his head.
"Well done, as long as he agrees to play, we're halfway there."
"Huh?" Xue Zhen was dumbfounded.
"Didn't you tell me that our goal was to take advantage of his agreement to attack Sangguan, drive the troops over, and capture him in one fell swoop?"
"And then?"
"This ...... If they capture him in one fell swoop, their forces will be leaderless, and they will surely collapse, and then the battle will disappear without a trace. ”
Zhao Hao shook his finger lightly and said with a smile: "If the goal is just to defeat Meng Huo, I have ten thousand methods, and I don't even need to come in person to get it."
But Meng Huo is a talent, so it's worth my visit. ”
"You mean?"
"If you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves, the development of Jiaozhi needs a stable environment, and putting Meng Shu back in Nanzhong for my use will be of great help to our future development."
Liu Bei's legion's hometown Yizhou is actually divided into two parts, the north is the Sichuan Plain and the Hanzhong Basin, which began to be developed during the Warring States Period and has experienced hundreds of years in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
There are few wars there, the water and soil are good, it is really fertile and thousands of miles, and the country of abundance is not at all boastful.
But in the south, there is a huge Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, there are lofty mountains and a large number of uninhabited primeval forests, we are familiar with the Hengduan Mountains, Nu Mountain, Ailao Mountain, Gaoligong Mountain and other mountain ranges together with a large number of rivers to cut the terrain here into pieces, the traffic is more difficult than the Shu Road.
The best way to take Sangguan to Wenshan in Yunnan was called the bird road at that time, not to mention other roads.
In the official history, Liu Bei never had the idea of sneaking into Jiaozhou from this road, otherwise Made's intellectual disability would have appeared in the form of Xuande intellectual disability thousands of years in advance.
Yonghong's Southern Barbarian Army was split into such a way, and Zhao Hao could easily defeat them as long as he sent Yu Ban.
But he clearly knows that this is a means to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and he doesn't want to be like Zhuge Liang in history to go deep into the reed to talk to these people.
Since God let him meet Meng Shu here, it must be to send the key to open the door of Nanzhong, and if he doesn't catch it, it won't be Zhao Hao.
……
Meng Shu summoned a group of subordinates to discuss for a long time, and finally overcame the public opinion, and together with his younger brother Meng You, he took a hundred people to compete with Zhao Hao.
And his cronies and generals Dong Dana led the troops to outflank him from behind, preparing to take advantage of Zhao Hao and Meng to compete and give Zhao Hao a fatal blow.
Meng Shu was convinced that Zhao Hao had the same idea, he asked people to play tricks, and at the same time asked another general to lead the reinforcements not far away, if Zhao Hao dared to move, they would fight with Zhao Hao.
Rao is like this, the day before the competition, Meng Huo still had no sleep all night.
He tossed and turned in his tent all night, and was whined by mosquitoes, and he slept for a while until dawn, and his eyes were swollen like peaches.
The scout who was busy came back early and told Meng Hao that there seemed to be no ambush at the venue of the competition, and Zhao Hao made the pomp and circumstance very big, as if he really wanted to compete with Meng Huo fairly.
Meng was confused, so he had no choice but to act at the opportunity.
When he arrived at the so-called martial arts arena, Meng Shu finally understood what the so-called pomp and circumstance was all about.
He originally thought that the two would compete in martial arts, and the atmosphere would definitely be solemn and cold, so the two sides put down their cruel words and began to fight.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Hao actually asked people to enclose a simple open space with gravel, and Zhao Hao was followed by a group of warriors in bright armor and a pair of enthusiastic business travelers.
"Mengtou people, it's hard to come from afar!"
Xue Zhen was full of smiles, completely unaware of the fact that he was almost slaughtered by Meng Shu the day before.
He happily ran over, greeted the soldiers under Meng Huo familiarly, and even waved his hand at Meng Shu's rear, indicating that he had seen the busy teeth lurking clumsily not far away.
"Zhao Taishou asked me to entertain you, you are all your own people, everyone eats and drinks, don't care."
Meng Shu turned his head mechanically, and saw that the soldiers under his command were also confused, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not just me who hasn't figured out the situation.
Not only Xue Qian, although those business travelers were timid, they still sent scones, soup cakes (noodles), hot water and several randomly picked fruits to Meng Shu and others.
Xue Zhi also sent hot tea and cigarettes to Meng Xu, Meng Zhen didn't dare to try these things sent by the enemy at first, but seeing Xue Zhen operating by his side, his curiosity still overpowered his fear, and he learned from Xue Zhi's appearance, lit a cigarette and took a few puffs, and took another sip of tea.
"Oh, that's a good thing."
"Zhao Taishou said, when the Mengtou people return to Nanzhong, we can cooperate to grow this kind of tobacco and market it all over the world."
"Really?" Meng Huo's eyes lit up.
He saw that his men were eating their food like gobbling up, and there seemed to be no problem at all, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Could it be that I am living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?
"Why is Zhao Taishou so good to us enemies?" Meng Shu muttered.
"Who said you are enemies!"
With a shout full of energy, Zhao Hao, who was covered in bright light armor, stepped in all directions, and slowly came surrounded by a group of ironclad warriors.
As he walked, the two musicians behind him used suona to blow a gambling god's BGM.
This kind of weird scene of stepping on BGM made the hairs on Meng Shu's whole body stand up, he quickly threw down the cigarette and jumped up violently, and his subordinates also stood up in shock, rubbing their hands, ready to fight with Zhao Hao at any time.
"Hehehe, don't be like this, please sit down, today we will meet friends with martial arts, until the point is reached, the Mengtou people will eat and drink enough first, we might as well talk first."
"Gah?"
Meng Xu didn't know that Zhao Hao's most powerful thing was not his martial arts, but his anti-heaven mouth cannon.
Seeing Zhao Hao's smile as warm as a spring breeze, he felt another drum in his heart.
"You ......"
"The Mengtou people just said that we are enemies, which is very wrong.
We are all subjects of the Great Han, although it is the first time we have met, how can we talk about enemies? Based on the principle of friendly exchanges, we may have a lot of business to do! ”
Because of the road, Meng Shu still didn't know that the Great Han Dynasty no longer existed, and when he heard Zhao Hao say this, he also nodded, and said:
"My ancestors are all Han ministers, and naturally they are also loyal to the Han Dynasty, I heard that your Taishou was snatched from Shi Xie, I don't know if this is done by loyal ministers?"
Zhao Hao laughed, hooked his finger behind him, and some of his own soldiers had already brought the holy decree and official seal that canonized him.
He said aloud:
"The whole world is my Han land, I Zhao Hao is wrongly loved by the Son of Heaven, and I am named Jiaozhi Taishou, Guard, Former General, Champion Hou, and cooperate with Jiaozhou Mu Liu Yan to manage this place,
Shi Gong actively cooperated with us to accept Jiaozhi, but those rats of the Shi family refused to obey the mandate of heaven, so they killed themselves to attract killing, and now the Son of Heaven is canonized here, who dares to say that I am not a loyal minister! ”
Meng Huo's subordinates were shocked by the pile of official positions that Zhao Hao spat out, except for Jiaozhi Taishou, they didn't know what other officials did, but Meng Huo was a scholar, so he naturally knew what the meaning of this official position was.
It's so powerful, even if it is a reward given by Liu Bei for the Son of Heaven, this kid can become a former general at a young age, which is really shocking...... And Champion Hou, is this serious?
He hesitated for a moment, then actually arched his hand towards Zhao Hao and said:
"It's the last general who has lost his word.
I don't know what the general drove when he summoned the last general? ”
Zhao Hao pretended to be surprised and said:
"Didn't Xue Zhen tell you? I'm here this time to help you recapture Sangguan and return to Nanzhong. ”
"......" Meng Shu looked incredulous.
"You were originally loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, and you were coerced by Yonghong, and now you are trapped here, and you can't advance or retreat.
If I want to annihilate you, I only need to send a pair of men and horses to come, and if it is not to help you get home, why should I come myself? ”
Zhao Hao said very sincerely, and Meng Shu actually felt a little trust in his heart.
"If you don't dislike it, I can use you as the former general Sima and return to Nanzhong, and you can take over the various ministries of Nanzhong in the name of the former general's mansion and calm all problems.
As for that Gao Ding, hehe, did he think that the little Sangguan would be able to block our heavenly soldiers! ”
If Meng Shu was a mountain king with a feather on his head like Li, Zhao Hao would not bother to talk to him more.
But he is a big family in Nanzhong, and he has read sages since he was a child, and his concept of the imperial court is still deep-rooted.
What is reading for? Is it to be the king of the mountain?
Definitely not.
Reading is to glorify the ancestors, to return to the hometown in fine clothes, and to let future generations shout how arrogant my ancestors were when they write genealogy.
Obviously, Zhao Hao can give everything Meng Shu wants.
The former general can open a government to recruit his own subordinate officials, and with this identity, Meng Huo can operate well in Nanzhong, which is a hundred times stronger than Yonghong.
Listening to Zhao Hao's conditions, Meng Shu only felt that his breathing began to become short.
"What you say is true?"
"Nature is true.
But although Xue Zhen said that you are strong in martial arts and very good at being a person, whether you can entrust you with all the major affairs of Nanzhong depends on your performance. ”
Zhao Hao raised the halberd in his hand and said calmly:
"Today's competition, I use a halberd, you can choose your own weapon, if you can go through three moves in my hands, you will be qualified."
"What!" Meng Xu's pupils were almost dilated in shock.
"Although I don't have much ability, I am still very confident in my martial arts.
Zhao Taishou, you have a big deal! ”
He was already a little angry.
If you want Meng Huo to be used for yourself, you must subdue him.
Zhao Hao didn't have time to capture seven verticals, he could only use the simplest way-
The life-and-death battle between men let Meng Huo see his absolute strength.
"Please!"
Of course, Meng Shu was not convinced, he took a big knife from the hand of the entourage named Huazi, and turned it in his hand, his face was slightly ugly.
His big knife is similar to Guan Yunchang, but the quality is far behind.
Nanzhong's iron-making skills are average, the most popular hundred steel-making has just been promoted here, and the blacksmith's craftsmanship cannot be compared with Zhao Hao's subordinates, this big knife is now rusty, and there are several more gaps, as soon as he takes it out, Meng Shu feels a little lost.
"I have a knife like this."
"No, my knife has killed countless enemies with me, and I am willing to learn too many tricks!"
Zhao Hao nodded with satisfaction,
"Good momentum.
It's up to you how long you can hold out. ”
