Chapter 41: The Barbarian Mutiny

Continue to ask for recommendations and collections

The barbarians of Wuling County would make a fuss, which I actually expected for a long time. In order to appease them, I had promised to marry them for a month, but the war against Wu made it inevitable that this matter would be delayed. If it is forgivable that I can't go to the Wuxi barbarians to marry Shana because of the force majeure of the war, then it can be said that I have chosen to forget this matter in the two months that I was ordered by Liu Bei to reflect behind closed doors after returning from Changsha.

Since I hadn't received Pang Tong's advice on the reasons for Liu Bei's dismissal before, I actually had my own caution in doing so. At that time, I was hoping that the Wuxi barbarians would make trouble because I didn't marry Shana, and when Liu Bei appeased them, it was very likely that I would return to Wuling to take up my post.

As soon as I heard that I had been dismissed by Liu Bei for disobeying military orders, and that I could no longer be the Taishou of Wuling, I never mentioned anything about Shana's stay with me for one night, and turned to be like me, and forgot about my marriage with Shana.

In that case, how could something happen to the barbarians in Wuling County? I went to Liu Bei and listened to Kong Ming tell me a rough idea, and then I understood what was going on.

It turned out that since the barbarian king made up his mind to repent of his marriage, Shana had been messing with him all day long. It's not that Shana developed feelings for me so quickly, it's that she attaches great importance to this engagement. It's not hard to understand the fierceness she showed when I caught her. In order to make her die as soon as possible, the barbarian king promised her another marriage to the son of a tribal leader in the tent. The tribe of the leader of the tribe was the largest tribe except for the tribe of the barbarian king, and the barbarian king actually had the intention of marrying Shana Xu to the son of the leader of the tribe a long time ago to consolidate his royal power. So this time, even if Shana strongly objected, she was married to the chief's son almost a few days later.

But what the barbarian king never expected was that the tribal leader named Na Guye was actually bought by Eastern Wu shortly after Liu Bei took the four counties of Jingnan. Then, when the barbarian king held a big wedding for his daughter, he secretly mobilized his subordinates, and suddenly had a seizure at the wedding banquet, and besieged and killed the barbarian king on the spot.

After that night, Shamoko fled desperately with only a small number of people, and then Na Guye, who had been bribed by Eastern Wu, declared himself king, and the other tribes of the Wuxi barbarians also surrendered. Shamoke had nowhere to go, so he could only take his subordinates to Nanjun for help, hoping that Liu Bei could send troops to help him quell the rebellion.

When I heard this, I looked at the smiling faces of Liu Bei and Kong Ming, and I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart.

I smiled bitterly and said to Liu Bei: "The lord doesn't want me to go to Wuling to help Shamoke quell the rebellion!" ”

Liu Bei picked up a letter from the shore and ordered someone to hand it to me. After reading the contents of the letter, I knew that Ma Chao had raised troops with Han Sui in Xiliang to avenge his father, and had now captured Tongguan, and invited Liu Bei to lead his troops north to attack Cao Cao.

Liu Bei said to me: "According to the detailed report, Cao Cao led 200,000 troops to Tongguan to confront Ma Chao, and the soldiers of Xiangyang had no backup. And the rebellion of the Wuling barbarians cannot be unjust, otherwise leaving such a huge pro-Wu force will always be a big trouble for me in Jingzhou! ”

Liu Bei saw my sad face, and turned to comfort me: "I sent you because after all, you have been a Taishou in Wuling for a while, and you have the experience of defeating barbarian soldiers, as for the matter of killing the enemy and breaking the formation on the battlefield, you don't have to worry, this time the rebellion Shamoke is the guide, Zhao Yun is the main general, you and Wei Yan are the deputy generals, and Ma Jian will also go with you, commanding 10,000 elite soldiers, so you should rest assured!" ”

As soon as I heard that the Lord would be Zhao Yun and not me, I instantly felt that my body had relaxed all day. After recalling it carefully, I couldn't help but be secretly amused, and laughed at myself in my heart: "Although the barbarians have gone through civil strife, there are nearly 100,000 people, this time it is to quell the chaos and not to repel it. ”

Thinking of this, I took my command. Kong Ming shook his feather fan and told me with a smile: "Last time, you acted without permission, and the lord only exempted you from your duties, this time you must be more attentive, wear the guilt and make meritorious contributions, and on the day of triumph, the lord and I will not treat you badly." ”

If it hadn't been for Pang Tong's previous visit, I would have been grateful to him and Liu Bei at this time, and I would have been happy with the opportunity to turn over again.

But after Pang Tong's words, I looked at Kong Ming, who was smiling at me and showing concern, and actually shuddered a little.

When I returned to my accommodation, Qing'er saw that I was depressed and asked me why. It's not good for me to tell her my dissatisfaction with Kong Ming, after all, she was also a maid who served her by Huang Yueying's side before. I just asked her, "Qing'er, what kind of person do you think our husband is?" ”

"What else do you need to say?" As soon as Qing'er heard me mention Kong Ming, she showed a look of admiration: "Our husband has the talent to turn things around. The fledgling house burned Cao Jun's soul to scatter, and Chibi borrowed the east wind, which made millions of Cao Jun wipe out like powder! ”

I waved my hand and said, "I'm not talking about that. I mean, I mean, do you think Sir is a man who is willing to sacrifice everything for fame and fortune? ”

"Of course not, why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Qing'er was surprised by my sudden question.

"I heard that the reason why my husband is willing to marry his wife is because of the Huang family's power and inextricable relationship in Jingzhou."

Qing'er covered my mouth at once, and looked at the door worriedly. Her hand was warm and tender, and when she saw that I didn't say anything more, she slowly took her hand down and said to me, "Others don't know, you still don't know?" Madame's ingenuity is the biggest reason why Mr. is willing to marry Madame. As he spoke, he pursed his lips and said, "Mr. and Mrs. are a natural pair, and whether they look good or not is just something that you mortals value!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! I am mortal! "After listening to Qing'er's words, I also thought that even if Kong Ming designed me before, it would be good to lie to me, and even if he really wanted me to help him ensure the glory of his first military division from Liu Bei as Pang Tong said, it was not my profit to be promoted to become rich in the end, and he would treat me well in the final analysis. Thinking of this, I was in a good mood, and immediately picked up Qing'er horizontally, and laughed: "Now mortals have to do what mortals should do!" ”

Qing'er's face flushed with a blush, and she said shyly: "Don't make trouble, husband, it's still daytime!" ”

But the more she said this, the more my desire was aroused, and I directly carried her to the bed and put down the curtain and said, "What's the matter during the day, mortals have some things to do, but they don't care about day and night!" ”
