"There's no rush in this matter, you discuss it slowly, and I'll send someone to inform you when the time comes!" Zhou Fan said casually.

It's one thing to want this Southern Barbarian soldier, but it's definitely not now. Now Liu Yanke has not yet proposed the system of "replacing history with states". If Zhou Fan, the Yizhou pastor, recruited troops on such a large scale, it would inevitably be suspicious of the imperial court, and it would not be good at that time, otherwise Zhou Fan would not be so pitiful with only 30,000 soldiers and horses to deal with this Nanban and Yue Song.

To tell the truth, after the efforts of Zhou Fan and his father Zhou Yi in the past few years, Yizhou has become stronger and stronger, and the population has reached a terrifying eight million, plus sufficient grain and grass, not to mention an army of 30,000, even if it is an army of 300,000, Zhou Fan can completely afford it, and now Zhou Fan is just missing an excuse for wanton recruitment.

"No!" Meng Hu hurriedly responded, and there was a hint of gratitude in his eyes, he didn't know Zhou Fan's thoughts, and thought that Zhou Fan was giving them time to prepare. This matter is also a big deal for their Nanban, so it is natural to discuss it carefully, and the King of Mulu will also be counted, it is Zhou Fan's handpick, as for the other soldiers and horses, how much each tribe produces, it is related to the interests of each tribe, and it is naturally necessary to discuss it carefully.

"By the way, Menghu, Wutuli, do you have rhinoceros in Nanban and Ugo countries, how many are they?" Zhou Fan's eyes suddenly became a little hot, and he asked with some excitement.

He saw that Meng Hu Zhuli and Wu Tuli had a lot of ornaments hanging on them, and with Zhou Fan's eyes, he could naturally see that these were rhinoceros horns and not ivory, which meant that there should be a lot of rhinoceros in their vicinity.

It's not enough to have an elephant to ride, if you can get another rhinoceros to ride, it will be even better. Although the rhinoceros is much smaller than the elephant, in terms of battlefield impact, this rhinoceros is probably above the elephant.

Immediately, Meng Hu and Wu Tuli were a little stunned, and they couldn't help but look at each other. There was a bit of embarrassment on his face.

Zhou Fan frowned slightly, and asked with some confusion: "What's wrong?" ”

In the end, it was Na Menghu who stood up and said, "Dare to ask the lord, this rhinoceros ...... What a thing! ”

Hearing this, Zhou Fan was also stunned, and it took a long time to react, it seems that there is no rhinoceros name in their era.

"It's the same as the elephant, but it's smaller, with one or two one-horned beasts on top of its head." Helplessly, Zhou Fan could only depict it by himself, but the next moment Zhou Fan suddenly felt that he was a little stupid, and hurriedly pointed to the rhinoceros horn ornament hanging on Meng Hu's clothes and said, "That's it!" ”

Everyone was stunned in an instant, and the Mulu King called out directly: "It turns out that the lord is talking about it." There are indeed a lot of these things, but the temperament is much more fierce than that of the wild elephant, and it is easy to catch, but it is difficult to tame it, and you can also tame the lord of this thing? ”

The rhinoceros is much more visible to the king of Mulu, and the rhinoceros is much more powerful than the brute elephant, so he also thought about taming, but this rhinoceros is much more irritable than the brute elephant, and many people under his hands have died in the hands of this rhinoceros. Later, he was also on fire, and directly ordered people to kill him, anyway, with that brute elephant, he couldn't use this rhinoceros, and now this Zhou Fan actually said that he could even tame this rhinoceros. It surprised him even more.

"Well, it's called Woo now!" Zhou Fan suddenly said: "In the future, it will be called a rhinoceros, just like that brute elephant." Five hundred, and when the time comes, another rhinoceros to ride will be formed! Zhou Fan said.

"No!" Everyone also hurriedly agreed, anyway, didn't they just change their names. It's not just a matter of his Zhou Fan's words, as for five hundred, it's not a problem, it's just a matter of spending some more time.

And the king of Mulu was also a little excited, thinking that he had already felt that he was coaxing with an eighty-man elephant riding in his hand before, and now it was an elephant riding with five hundred people, and a rhinoceros riding with five hundred people, just thinking about it made me a little excited.

"Lord, I still have a reluctant request!" Meng Hu hesitated for a while, and then said with some embarrassment.

Zhou Fan glanced at that Meng Hu lightly, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, he still nodded slightly, as long as this Meng Hu's request was not too much, it would be okay to agree to him.

"Please also ask the lord to take the little Meng Shu with him, so that he can learn from the lord and you." Meng Hu said as he licked his face.

For this decision, he Meng Huna also hesitated for a long time before deciding.

First, among all his sons, Meng Hu is the only one who is most satisfied with Meng Hu, if he can learn a skill or two by Zhou Fan's side, and inherit his position as the king of the Southern Barbarians in the future, it will definitely be more than enough.

Second, there may not be no meaning of taking the son as the hostage, he Menghu is also telling him Zhou Fan through this matter, he Menghu is now respecting him Zhou Fan, as long as there is no accident, then he will definitely not betray him Zhou Fan.

Zhu Li glanced at Meng Hu with some shock, and secretly scolded the old fox, how could this kind of thing only let him Meng Hu take the lead, and hurriedly stood up and said: "Please also ask the lord to take the little girl Zhu Rong to Yizhou, the little girl is now engaged to Meng Shu, just let the two of them cultivate and cultivate feelings from an early age." ”

Everyone rolled their eyes in unison, this Zhu Li is really shameless enough, and this kind of reason can be used.

"Lord, the little Wutuli has already worshiped General Dian Wei as his teacher, so naturally he should follow General Dian Wei." Wu Tuli naturally has his own reasons, and said not to be outdone.

Zhou Fan really looked at these people with some tears and laughter, and there were still people who rushed to send their children to their side as hostages, but they all said so, if they didn't agree, I'm afraid it would be a little bad.

However, the vulture bone is only twelve years old, Meng Huo is nine years old, and Zhu Rong doesn't know how old he is, anyway, it shouldn't be older than this Meng Huo, this is obviously a group of little children, and Meng Huo and Zhu Rong have already set up a baby kiss. In addition, a group of little children such as Fazheng, Zhou Yu, and Ling Tong can run a nursery school under their own hands.

"Okay." Zhou Fan smiled bitterly and nodded, no matter what, although this group of little children is still young, they are not of much use now, but they are still very potential, and if they are cultivated well, they will be of great use in the future.

"Thank you, my lord!" Everyone responded gratefully, and their hearts were even more happy, and with this relationship, they and Zhou Fan became closer and closer. (To be continued......)
