Chapter 2171: Two Requests for Meng Huo
There are a lot of people who brought the cave master, and he is Zhu Rong's brother, so leaving his people behind is more conducive to protecting Zhu Rong.
The other cave masters stayed in the clan, but their subordinates followed Jiang Wei to crusade against Meng Shu, even if one or two had other thoughts, it was impossible for them to pose any threat to Zhu Rong.
Jiang Wei gave the order and was about to lead the warriors to leave and go to crusade against Meng Huo.
He was discussing with Huang Zhong and others who would open the way after the expedition, and who would lead the troops behind the palace.
"General Jiang." Several people were discussing military affairs, and brought the cave master over.
Glancing at Huang Zhong and the others, the three generals left, and Jiang Wei turned to face the cave master: "The cave master came to see me, what do you have to say?" ”
"I don't have anything else to do, only one thing I want to ask General Jiang." The cave master said, "Why don't you bring any of my people with you?" ”
"Doesn't the cave master know why I arranged it this way?" Jiang Wei smiled slightly and asked him a rhetorical question.
"I don't understand." Bring the cave master and replied: "No matter what, I must take some of the warriors of my tribe out, it is a good thing for the warriors to crusade against Meng Huo, they can get a lot of benefits, leave them all behind, what do you want the warriors to think of me?" ”
Bringing the cave master to come to ask for an explanation for his warriors, Jiang Wei did not rush to defend himself, but just listened to him silently.
After the cave master finished speaking, Jiang Wei asked, "Is there anything else to say?" ”
"I just don't understand, why don't you take my warriors with you?" The owner of the cave said: "The remaining tribes have to leave some warriors from each cave." ”
"Has the cave master forgotten what I said earlier?" Jiang Wei smiled slightly, did not answer his question, but asked a rhetorical question.
"Of course I do." Bring the cave master back: "General Jiang will lead 80,000 warriors to conquer Meng Huo, and the rest will stay to guard the tribe to ensure that the queen is well-organized." ”
"Since the cave master still remembers, why would he ask me this?" Jiang Wei asked: "All the cave masters have to stay, they don't have warriors in their hands, and you don't have the final say on everything?" The warriors had the heart to crusade against Meng Shu with me, just to get more benefits after the war. I make a promise to the cave master, and when I return, I will give more benefits to the cave master's warriors. ”
"Women and goods will be given to them?" Bring the cave owner's uncertain questioning.
"Of course." Jiang Wei replied: "We will crusade against Meng Huo, and the men we will kill will be countless. What to do with their women? Why don't they all be brought back and distributed to the warriors? How many warriors did Meng have under him? How many tribal warriors are there? With so many women, isn't it enough for the warriors to share? I went this time to destroy Meng Shu, and the benefits I brought back could be less? ”
Jiang Wei promised to bring back benefits to his warriors, and the cave master asked suspiciously: "The general is so assigned, aren't you worried that the other warriors will not be willing?" ”
"Why not?" Jiang Wei asked rhetorically: "No one guards their home for them, where will they send them back after taking those benefits?" The cave master just rest assured, I will have a plan when the time comes. ”
Staring at Jiang Wei's face for a while, perhaps seeing sincerity from it, he brought the cave master and said, "Since this is the case, I will persuade the warriors for the general." ”
"In fact, leaving the cave master's department is also the result of my careful consideration." Jiang Wei said: "The princess stays here, if there are too many warriors under the other cave masters, Meng Shu secretly bribed anyone to try to disadvantage the princess, it may cause a big disaster, and the only thing I can trust is the cave master." That's why all the warriors of the cave master were left, and the princess's safety depended on the cave master. ”
Knowing that Jiang Wei still had such a plan, the cave master suddenly felt much better.
He said to Jiang Wei: "Since General Jiang can trust me, of course I will do my best to protect the queen." ”
"There's the Lord of the Cave." Jiang Wei arched his hand at him.
The cave master also gave Jiang Wei a salute in return.
The warriors were ready to go on the march, and thirty cannons were loaded into the wagon.
The cannons equipped by the Wei army were only the first generation and had not been improved.
The Penglai Craftsman Workshop is working intensively on the research and development of new ordnance every day, but the progress of developing new ordnance is extremely slow.
Based on Cao Shuo's understanding of artillery, what the Wei army had at this time could not be regarded as a real killing weapon.
When Penglai technology reaches a certain level and can develop missiles, the technology of the entire era will be pushed forward.
Cao Shuo's arrival in the late Eastern Han Dynasty not only changed the course of the entire history, but also promoted human civilization to span more than 2,000 years.
The cannons loaded onto the wagons, and behind them were cartloads of shells.
In addition to the shells, they also brought most of the mines, leaving only a few for the cave owners to defend against a possible attack by Meng Huo.
Jiang Wei led 80,000 warriors to set off, and Zhu Rong also went out of the cave to see him off.
Seeing the mighty team set off, Zhu Rong's face was quiet.
The cave master stood beside her: "General Jiang has brought all our warriors out this time. Isn't the Queen worried at all? ”
"What's there to worry about?" Zhu Rong said: "He has proven his strength before, although he did not win a complete victory in the crusade against Meng Huo, he did not eat a defeat. This time he brought thirty cannons, as well as countless shells and mines, even if Meng got a lot of soldiers and horses, what could he do? In front of them, who have divine weapons, they are absolutely vulnerable. ”
Zhu Rong had great confidence that Jiang Wei would be able to win, and of course he wouldn't say anything more if he brought the cave master.
In fact, he also believed that Jiang Wei would definitely win a complete victory on this expedition, so he asked Zhu Rong, just to know what kind of mind she had.
Leading 80,000 barbarian warriors to set off, Jiang Wei did not look back all the way.
Huang Zhong, who was walking beside him, looked back a few times and asked him, "What are the chances of winning when Boyo leads the troops to fight against Meng Huo?" ”
"If I say ten, will General Huang believe it or not?" Jiang Wei asked rhetorically.
"The lord has allocated so many cannons and mines, if he can't win all, I'm afraid I won't have the face to see him again." Huang Zhong replied: "Whether it is the ability of Boyo to use troops or the heavy responsibility on his back, this expedition will not allow you to make the slightest mistake. This battle may not be able to win completely, but it can still be done with a heavy defeat to Meng Huo. ”
"Since General Huang understands this, of course he also understands that there is no turning back for me this time." Jiang Wei said: "Previously, we killed the Meng Huo tribe, but this crusade is not easy. But I have no choice, treating the barbarians is different from fighting in the Central Plains, we must not only do things perfectly, but also have to achieve no way out at all. There are a large number of barbarians, and they must be cleaned up in order to facilitate the integration of the lord as soon as possible. 2k reading network
