The army captured more than 100 elephants, and for these giants that had never been seen before, this behemoth was undoubtedly very new.

Zhang walked up to an elephant and cautiously stretched out his hand to the elephant's body, and the soldiers next to him were all curious about Zhang's actions.

Generally speaking, herbivores are not aggressive, and these elephants have been domesticated and are not afraid of people at all, so when Zhang reached out to touch the elephant, the elephant did not react at all.

Seeing that the elephant did not react, Zhang had the courage to fight, circled around the elephant a few times, and then simply climbed up. "Oh my God, it's so wide on here, you can lie down and sleep, you say this thing is less than a pound!"

"Hahaha, Zhang, why don't I find a big pole to come over, and you weigh it?" Wen Qin's voice came from the side.

"you, don't fool me, how can there be such a big name, besides, even if there is, who can lift it!" Zhang Xiao scolded.

At this time, Adou also came over from a distance, and when he heard Zhang and Xiang Pet talking about the elephant there, he said with a smile: "Zhang, don't believe it, there are really people in this world who have weighed the weight of this elephant." ”

"Really, who is so powerful? Where did he get such a big scale? Zhang asked curiously.

"Cao Cao has a son named Cao Chong...... Adou told everyone the story of Cao Chong's elephant, and everyone understood how to weigh the elephant.

"This Cao Chong is really smart enough, but it's a pity, he died earlier, otherwise there would be another fierce opponent today!" Zhang said from the side.

"I don't think so." Wen Qin licked his lips and spoke: "Where can this person be able to accommodate Cao Chong, if Cao Chong is alive, maybe he will end up even more miserable." ”

At this moment, Yang Feng came from a distance, and dozens of carts were still behind Yang Feng, all of which were filled with elephant feed.

"Yang Feng, what's in the car?" Zhang was still sitting on the elephant at this time, where he was high, looking farthest, and he could see the big cars at a glance.

Yang Feng pointed to the back: "These are all forages used to feed the elephants." ”

"So much?" Everyone present was taken aback, obviously taken aback.

"It's okay, this big guy doesn't eat meat...... Wen Qin sighed softly.

Next to Zhang said: "Yes, it is in this wooded place that so many elephants are fed, if we change to Chengdu, where can we find so many things to feed so many big guys......

Zhang's words reminded Adou that Adou originally wanted to bring the elephant to the Central Plains, with the vast territory of the Central Plains and fighting on the plains, the elephant is simply invincible, hundreds of elephants rushed forward, and the momentum alone was enough to make people frightened, even the tiger and leopard rode and did not dare to fight hard, let alone the infantry troops.

Adou believes that if there are more than 100 elephants and the plains are fighting head-on, there will be no opponent in the Central Plains. But now it seems that it is not realistic to bring these elephants to the Central Plains.

The appetite of elephants is too big, look at Yang Feng's dozens of carts to know, how can elephants eat, an elephant's forage consumes more than a dozen horses, but the endurance of elephants is far inferior to horses, horses can run for a day and a night without eating, but if the elephant is hungry for a day and a night, it will not be the opposite.

Although elephants are not very picky eaters, in this rainforest in Xishuangbanna, plants that can become elephants are everywhere, but the Central Plains cannot find so many plants and trees for elephants to eat, and if you feed rice, it is a waste. In the era of war and chaos here, people can't eat enough, where can they get more food to feed this beast?

If these more than 100 elephants were really brought to the Central Plains, the logistics of the Shu army would not be able to collapse.

Look at this group of elephants in the distance, there is a lot of meat, if you kill and eat meat, it is enough for the three armies to eat several meals. However, these are trained war elephants, which are much more precious than war horses, and Adou is reluctant to kill and eat meat.

Just divide it among the barbarians who surrendered to themselves!

Thinking of this, Adou opened his mouth and shouted, "Yang Feng, come here." ”

Yang Feng immediately ran over and asked, "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince command?" ”

"Yang Feng, these elephants have been given to you, you can find a chance to bring them back."

"Really?" Yang Feng's face was happy, as the weakest hole among the twenty-one holes, Yang Feng had already coveted these war elephants for a long time, and he dreamed of getting a few.

But then, Yang Feng's face became bitter again, and he said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, I can't afford to raise so much." Our Yinye Cave is one of the most barren places in the country, and even the grass and trees are the least, so we can raise a maximum of 20 elephants. ”

"Well, go back and call them for the Golden Ring Three Knots, Dong Dana, and Ah Hui, and divide their ten elephants among themselves. And those who surrendered before, give them some. At this point, Adou paused, and then said, "But before that, I have to do something with these elephants." ”

……

Sanjiang City is located in the plain where Lushui, Gannanshui and Xichengshui meet, and was built by Meng Huo many years ago.

This Sanjiang City is not so much a city as a big cottage. Meng Huo controlled the barbarian well salt, and the barbarians needed to buy salt from Meng Huo in the twenty-one holes, and Meng Huo built the Sanjiang City in order to receive these barbarians who came to buy salt. Over time, Sanjiang City became the only trading market in the hinterland of the barbarians.

On weekdays, there was an endless stream of people coming and going to Sanjiang City, and the barbarians came from all over the country with carts or bags, bringing all kinds of animal skins, grain, and rare ores, in exchange for some well salt produced in the silver pits. Now, there is no one outside Sanjiang City, and the gate of the wall is also closed, and the only thing that can be seen is the big flag fluttering on the head of the city and the sparse barbarian soldiers.

Gradually, there was a sound of shaking at the edge of the earth, and the barbarians in Sanjiang City involuntarily looked to the north, only to see a piece of dust gradually raised in the distance, and then a few loud sounds

The sound wafted through the air.

"It's an elephant, King Mulu is back!" A brute familiar with the sound of elephants shouted.

"It's really an elephant, do you think King Mulu won or lost?" Another asked.

"Definitely won! The class teacher is back! Okay, let's not talk about it so much, I'll report to the king! The brute said and walked inside.

After a while, Meng Huo, Meng You, Mrs. Zhurong and the four people who brought the cave master all gathered in front of the gate of the village.

At this time, black dots had already appeared on the horizon, and with the loud shout, Meng Shu could tell that those black dots were war elephants.

Among the barbarians, only Ba Na Cave has so many war elephants, and it seems that the person who came must be the King of Mulu.

"Big brother, did you say that King Mulu won or lost?" Meng You asked.

Meng Shu shook his head: "I don't know, but it looks like I don't want to lose." To the north is a plain of 300 miles, and those war elephants of Mulu fought against the Han people on this plain, and it was impossible to lose. ”

As soon as Meng Shu's voice fell, he saw a big flag suddenly erected in the elephant herd in front of him, and as the distance got closer and closer, Meng Shu finally saw clearly, and the big flag had a big "Han" character written on it.

It is the "Han" of the Han Dynasty, even if the barbarians don't know the word "Han", but as long as they see the square Chinese characters on the opposite flag, everyone knows that it is the banner of the Han people erected on the opposite side.

"The Han are coming?" Meng Shu opened his mouth, but the face behind him suddenly became hideous, and he said viciously: "It seems that Mulu has also surrendered to the Han people!" ”

"Brother, this is absolutely impossible, Mulu has never been in contact with the Han people, how can he surrender to the Han people!"

"If it weren't for Mulu surrendering to the Han people, then why would those war elephants be with the Han people, and why would the opposite side play the banner of the Han people?" Meng Shu asked angrily.

"Maybe it was Mulu who captured the Han people, and then raised their banner to show off his might......" Meng You's voice became smaller and quieter, and he became more and more unconfident, obviously Meng You felt that what he just said was too far-fetched, and even he couldn't convince himself.

Finally, the elephant herd on the opposite side was getting closer and closer, and then, Meng Shu also saw the Shu army clustered around the elephant herd.

The elephant herd finally arrived, and Meng Shu saw at a glance that on top of the largest war elephant on his head, there was a person sitting on it, it was Adou who had not been seen for a long time.

Adou still had a smile on his face, but this sunny smile fell in Meng Shu's eyes, but Meng Shu felt a chill rush away.

"Meng Huo, we meet again." Adou shouted at Meng Huo inside.

Meng Shu did not speak, but looked at the elephant herd, but Meng Shu did not show the wooden deer, and at the same time, he did not even see any of the barbarians in the wooden deer Ba Na cave.

"What about Mulu? Where is he? Meng Huo shouted loudly.

"Someone, bring the wooden deer up." Adou gave an order, and immediately another soldier brought the wooden deer up, but now the wooden deer was tied up by five flowers, like a zongzi.

King Mulu lives in the depths of the barbarians all the year round, and does not contact the Han people, with the unique simplicity and simplicity of the barbarians, and is not good at things like hooks. If it sounds good, King Mulu is honest, but if it doesn't sound good, it is a tendon in his brain and won't turn. So after being captured by Adou, no matter how persuaded by Adou, King Mulu would not surrender. And Adou was preparing to convince people with virtue this time, so he didn't kill King Mulu.

Seeing that King Mulu was tied up and escorted up, Meng Shu's heart calmed down a little, Mulu was tied like this, at least it shows that King Mulu did not betray himself and did not surrender to the Shu army.

But when Meng Shu looked at the hundreds of war elephants again, his heart was half cold again. It seems that the Shu army not only defeated the king of Mulu, but also took all the more than 100 war elephants in Ba Na Cave for their own use.

As a barbarian king, Meng Huo naturally knew the power of the Bana Cave War Elephant. Now there are only more than 1,000 remnants left around Meng Shu, even if Sanjiang City can barely be regarded as some defensive force, it can't stop the Shu army from cooperating with the attack of the war elephants.

"Meng Huo, are you willing to surrender?" Adou's voice reached Meng Huo's ears again.

Surrender? Meng Shu was stunned, and the bull energy in his heart rushed to his head again, only to see Meng Shu roar in a low voice with a hideous face: "Surrender? You Han people have a saying, it is called rather for jade than for tile! If you want to fight, you will fight, why say more! I, Meng Shu, are not afraid of death, and none of our barbarians are afraid of death! ”

Adou also felt the determination in Meng Yu's tone to know that life and death were out of the degree. Adou frowned slightly, and then turned around and asked, "Meng Shu, let me ask, why are you unwilling to surrender?" ”

Why refuse to surrender? Adou's question stopped Meng Shu.

To say that the Han people invaded the barbarians? This barbarian has no concept of a state, and there is no such thing as aggression or aggression. If the Han people killed and enslaved the barbarians, it would not be obvious that Adou had been strict in military discipline since the soldiers entered Nanzhong, and did not kill a barbarian civilian, on the contrary, he also gave a lot of food to those poor barbarians, and at the same time did not force the barbarians to do anything for the Han people, and this battle was not counted.

The Shu army is indeed to convince people with virtue, and the barbarians also feel Adou's sincerity, so the war has been going on so far, and most of the 21 barbarian caves have surrendered to the Shu army.

The war has been going on so far, and the combat effectiveness shown by the Shu army and Adou's sincerity are enough to convince the barbarians. And what Adou asked for was only the barbarians willing to surrender, and from Adou's policy towards the barbarians, at least for now, the barbarians did not suffer.

Meng Shu suddenly appeared, and now that the war has been going on, the battle between himself and the Shu army has changed its taste. If the previous battles were still resisting for the sake of resistance, then in the last few battles, Meng Shu seems to be more like a breath.

From the first time he was captured by A Dousheng, Meng Shu held his breath in his heart. As a barbarian king, Meng Huo naturally has the dignity of a barbarian king, a barbarian king, being captured by life, such a thing is a big loss of face for Meng Huo, so Meng Huo wants to take revenge and give Adou to himself

All back.

But later, Meng Huo was captured one after another, which made the resentment in his heart deeper and deeper, sometimes, people just want to fight for a breath, and Meng Huo is also for this breath at this time, for the face of the barbarian king, will continue to fight against Adou.

When Meng Shu looked back and thought about it, for this battle of will, he actually fought with the Shu army until now, and he also made 21 holes surrender most of them, and his own silver pit hole only had more than 1,000 soldiers left.

Looking back, there were 100,000 male soldiers in the pits, and Meng Shu was even richer in the world, and the entire barbarians surrendered, and hundreds of thousands of barbarian troops could be gathered to attack the city with a single call. At this time, Meng Shu suddenly felt a little regretful, if he didn't fight this battle with the Shu army, how could he end up like this.

"Meng Huo, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister, this Nanzhong is under the rule of my Han Dynasty. Although you are barbarians, you are also the people of my great Han. I, Liu Chan, will never despise you because you are not Hermes-Epitek! In my eyes, you are the same as my Han people in the Central Plains, you are all subjects of my Han Dynasty, and in my eyes, there is no difference between you barbarians and Han people! Adou's voice rang out here.

When Adou said this, he unconsciously carried his internal force, and the sound suddenly spread for several miles, and everyone around, including the Shu army and the barbarian army, heard it clearly.

For a long time, the authorities of the Han Dynasty have believed that if they are not of our race, their hearts will be different.

Therefore, for the ethnic minorities around the Han Dynasty, the rule of the Han Dynasty has always adopted a hostile strategy. When the alien race is strong, the Han dynasty will feel afraid, and at this time it will make some moves such as making peace and forming alliances, and when the alien race is weak, the Han dynasty will not hesitate to suppress and enslave the alien race.

No one is born with a penchant for war, and for some of the weaker ethnic minorities around the Han Dynasty, they don't want to fight against the huge Han Dynasty, many times, they just want to be treated equally, which is a seemingly simple requirement, but it has never been met.

Throughout the Han Dynasty, whether it was the Western Han Dynasty or the Eastern Han Dynasty, since Emperor Wu's crusade against the Huns, the emperors of the Han Dynasty seemed to like the pleasure of conquering foreign races. There is never a shortage of famous generals among the Han people, and every time an ethnic minority rebels, there are always people who stand up and support the backbone of the Han Dynasty. From Huo Hussar in the Western Han Dynasty to Ban Dingyuan and Ma Fubo in the Eastern Han Dynasty, generations of famous generals have been famous through the ages, and at the same time, they have also brought the deep awe of the Han people from all over the world.

The resources of the Central Plains and the wealth of the Han people make the surrounding aliens salivate. But the Han people were warlike and powerful, and they also planted the seeds of fear in the hearts of the aliens around them. For those powerful nomads in the north, these Han people who can only farm in the south are a group of fat sheep that can bite, when you rush over, you will return with a full load if you are lucky, and if you are unlucky, you will be bitten very painfully, it is for these southern tribes such as Shanyue and Nanban, the Han is a behemoth, a behemoth that cannot be defeated with all his might. Therefore, the Shanyue, Nanban and other tribes in the south choose to surrender, at least don't take the initiative to provoke this behemoth.

For the power of the Han Dynasty, the nomadic peoples in the north included the Huns, Karasuma, and Xianbei...... They were powerful, and the cavalry that came and went like the wind was beyond the reach of the soldiers of the Han Dynasty, so the Han people hated these ethnic minorities in the north because they would cause property and life losses to the Han people. And these weak ethnic minorities in the south, such as Shanyue and Nanban, were completely foreigners who were seriously in power in the Han Dynasty, and they were savages, different in etiquette, no different from beasts, and they were completely objects that could be oppressed at will.

The Southern Barbarians are also human beings, and for hundreds of years, the Southern Barbarians have been subjected to the unequal treatment of the Han people, and it is also because of this inequality that the barbarians have been repeating themselves for hundreds of years, and there has never been a Han Dynasty rule that has really convinced the Southern Barbarians and truly surrendered.

The demands of the Nanban were simple, they only hoped that the Han people would treat them as human beings and treat them equally. But this requirement is impossible in the minds of the Han people, especially among the great Han scholars, who are superior to others. Even if you have a trace of ethnic minority blood, you will be looked down upon by those scholars and doctors, and they will be excluded.

But now Adou's words are equivalent to giving the barbarians present a promise, an equal promise.

You must know that in the Shu army, there are still many barbarians who have surrendered, such as Yang Feng, Dong Dana and others, and at this moment, the barbarians have obtained the equality they have been looking forward to for hundreds of years, although this equality is only a verbal promise.

On the plains, there is silence.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...... Time passed.

Suddenly, there were sudden cheers from the crowd! And the cheers spread out as if they were contagious.

Finally, the crowd is boiling!

Starting point 2009 year-end works inventory, "A Dou" was fortunate to be selected, into the year-end works selection, greedy insects are very happy, to know that the entire starting point only 50 works selected, this is also an affirmation of "A Dou".
