The Southern Barbarians are the name given to them by the Han Chinese, and in fact, among their self-proclaimed names, they are the Southern Xinjiang people.

In the information obtained by Ye Zhao before, there are 36 caves in Nanban in Nanzhong, but these 36 caves are only an imaginary number, and not all of them live in caves, and the 36 caves actually represent the collective name of the various tribes in Nanban.

Among them, the forces are intertwined, such as the Yi people, the big clan among the barbarians, as well as the Wuge country, Yinye Cave, Bald Dragon Cave, Ba Na Cave, Zhurong Clan, Paxi Clan, Naxi Clan, etc., among them, such as the Yi Nationality and the Han people live together, influenced by the Han culture, there are already signs of Sinicization, and even have Han family surnames, such as the Meng surname is the largest surname among the Yi people.

At the same time, the Nanzhong barbarians did not have no contact with the Han people, and Jianning Taishou Yongya had close contacts with the barbarians, and was quite popular in the Nanban.

Jianning and Yongchang are also the two counties that have not yet surrendered to Ye Zhao, and they are adjacent to Zhu Ti, and Ye Zhao originally sent Guan Ping here with the intention of increasing the oppression of these two counties.

originally thought that the marriage between Guan Ping and the Zhurong clan would allow Ye Zhao's forces to penetrate into the Nanzhong area, and then gradually increase their control, and finally completely grasp the entire Yizhou in their hands, but now looking at this Zhurong clan, it is obvious that it has not been subdued as Ye Zhao imagined.

"In other words, there are thousands of troops, which are approaching Zhuti?" Ye Zhao looked at the leader of Zhurong Cave and frowned.

After the scout's translation and getting a definite answer, Ye Zhao's brows furrowed a little tighter, which was not good news.

"Ye Hou?" It's about turning around and looking at Ye Zhao.

"In any case, we are short of manpower here, so we should go to Zhuti first, join Guan Ping, and send someone to inform Qianwei County and send soldiers and horses to support." Ye Zhao shook his head, although there are many people in the Zhurong clan, but depending on the city, there are two fierce generals of Dian Wei and Guan Yu, Ye Zhao is not too worried, what he is really worried about is that behind this Zhurong Cave, there are other forces, and the purpose is not just a small Zhu Ti.

After Zhuti, further north is Qianwei, which is the Shuzhong Plain, if the enemy's ultimate goal is here, things are not so simple.

At that moment, Ye Zhao collected the body of the guard who died in the battle, buried it in the ground, and ordered one person to return the same way, find the flying boat, and ordered the flying boat to go to Qianwei to inform Qianwei to defend himself, and at the same time send a soldier and horse to Zhu Ti's side.

Now that he is here, and there are generals around him, Ye Zhao is ready to completely subdue the three counties of Qiqi, Jianning, and Yongchang, which can be regarded as avoiding the worries and internal troubles of Shu in the future.

The rest of the people were led by Ye Zhao and hurried day and night, and finally arrived at Juti at noon the next day.

"Father, lord?" When Guan Ping saw Ye Zhao and Guan Yu, he was a little dazed, and subconsciously asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"Good things you did!" Guan Yu snorted angrily, and the anger that had been in the past few days erupted, and he raised his hand to slap him, but was stopped by Ye Zhao with his hand.

"Yun Chang and don't get angry!" Ye Zhao stopped Guan Yu's arm, looked at Guan Ping and said, "Immediately send someone to give up all the outposts outside the city, and recall all the soldiers and horses that can be dispatched now!" This is a military order! ”

Guan Ping was puzzled, but since Ye Zhao had already said that it was a military order, he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly ordered people to fly out of the city and recall the soldiers and horses at various checkpoints.

"In addition, Yun Chang and I want to meet your wife of the Zhu Rong clan." Ye Zhao looked at Guan Ping and said seriously.

"Father, I ......" Guan Ping, in order to keep Guan Yu, listened to Gan Ning's strategy, coupled with the beauty of the Zhurong clan and his bold personality, he did have a taste for him, the two were of the same age, and the people of the Zhurong clan were quite supportive of this matter, so Guan Ping didn't think much about it, so he accepted the woman, but at this moment, facing Guan Yu, whose eyes were full of anger, Guan Ping's aura was suddenly completely chaotic, in front of Guan Yu, even if he was much more stable after more than half a year of experience, it was still a touch of collapse.

"Listen to Ye Hou! Don't go yet! Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes widened, which meant that Guan Yu was already angry, if it was on the battlefield, when Guan Yu's eyes were open, it was time for Guan Yu to kill.

"Whoa!" The lord and the father's double coercion, even if Guan Ping, who held the military and political power in a place and had already condensed some momentum, was immediately defeated, and turned around and ran away with a promise.

"Yun Chang, listen to me!" Ye Zhao was afraid that Guan Yu would do something irrational for a while, so he took a step forward and said: "No matter what, this woman is already pregnant with the heir of the Guan family, and this matter may not be related to her, someone will come later, don't you have to speak, I'll ask her." ”

"Obey Ye Hou's orders!" Guan Yu took a deep breath, suppressed the irritable emotion in his heart, and nodded.

Soon, Guan Ping came in with a woman.

Ye Zhao looked at the woman, who was about the same age as Guan Ping, but there was a heroic spirit between her eyebrows, and her body was like a cheetah, not as dignified and virtuous as a woman in the Central Plains, but it gave people a sense of strength that could explode at any time, and she couldn't withdraw from weakness at all.

"Madam, this is my lord Ye Zhao, and the one next to me is my father Guan Yu, both of whom are rare characters in the Han Dynasty." Guan Ping saluted Ye Zhao and introduced to the woman.

"Father, lord, this is the wife I have married...... Zhu Rong. Facing Guan Yu's angry gaze, Guan Ping's voice became smaller and smaller.

"She is a good woman, heroic and cool, no less than my Nivan camp woman." Ye Zhao smiled: "But I don't know, how did you know it?" ”

"It's a bit of a shame to say." Guan Ping's face was a little embarrassed: "In May, there were barbarians from the Ba Na Cave who came to attack, and the ministers led their troops to fight, but they accidentally fell into an ambush, and the soldiers suffered heavy injuries, and they almost died at the hands of the Ba Na Cave Lord. ”

Ye Zhao looked at Guan Ping and motioned for him to continue.

"The minister met his wife by accident, and was not only rescued by his wife, but also accepted the ...... of his wife and entered the Guan family," Guan Ping said at the end, and his words were a little stumbling.

"You mean, you met Zhu Rong's family, and then Zhu Rong's family helped you for no reason?" Ye Zhao raised his eyebrows, looked at Guan Ping and said, "Has anyone told you that you are not good at lying?" ”

"This ......" Guan Ping's ears were red, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Zhu Rong's family on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and he protected Guan Ping behind him, glared at Ye Zhao and said: "It was my husband who happened to break my bath in the river, according to my Zhu Rong's rules, after looking at my body, he will either be killed by me, or kill me, or marry me!" I can't beat him, and he doesn't want to kill me, so I can only marry him, and Ba Na Dong and I, Zhu Rong, have always had a grudge, so why not help my husband repel Ba Na Dong? ”

"In other words, at that time, Zhurongdong had no intention of attacking Zhu Ti?" Ye Zhao suddenly asked, his eyes fixed on Zhu Rong.
