Chapter Twenty-Five: The Second Greatest Force of Vimo Leads Meng Yi
Soon after Luo Ba left, Meng Yi said goodbye and left, and the main owner was gone, and he was not interested in discussing how to form an alliance with Luo Ba Clerk, knowing that it was useless to say it.
Meng Yi also knew that this time he came just to appease Luo Xiong and let him not fall to Wang Lin's coalition army, and he knew that the reason why Li Kundao sent himself over was to better merge the two Yi clans.
However, Meng Yi is a righteous person, in his opinion, as long as the clan is strong, it is nothing for him to lose some rights, and if he wants to unify the entire Vimo with one clan, there is only the Yi clan merged, and it is impossible to do it except for the Han people, even if they merge the power of one clan.
It's just that this time Luo Xiong's forces gave him a feeling of unease, and when he returned to the guest room arranged by Luo Ba for a while, the person sent by him came back, and Meng Yi asked, "How is Wanchun, do you know what's going on?" β
"Commander Meng, Luo Xiong's forces have changed a lot now, and the population of Maomaochong has also increased a lot, it is estimated that he took the opportunity to loot Lu Ge's forces while Lu Ge had not returned, and we also saw a lot of Bunu people in Maomaochong."
"To be specific, what else has not been found, why are we still twenty miles away from the Roba Army, and we were discovered."
Xie Wanchun, as Meng Yi's most powerful subordinate, of course knew what Meng Yi wanted to know, but he didn't find out much useful information.
"The subordinates didn't find out, how much useful information there was, there were people behind our people, as long as they left the five-mile range of Maomaochong, they would be intercepted, and they couldn't get out at all.
I only know that Maomaochong has changed a lot, in addition to the increase in population, what village guards did Luo Xiong set up, there were village officials, village guards, and there were many shops, oh, and they used coins, what kind of national currency is called, and the subordinates don't understand. β
Meng Yi knew where this uneasiness came from, everyone had underestimated Luo Xiong's forces over the years, everyone thought that Luo Xiong's forces were only 5,000 people, even if they had saved some money over the years, they would still not pose a threat to their own forces, who had not saved some money in four or five years?
"Commander, I don't know what to say, I don't know if I should say it, I think that this time Li Lao sent you and me to Luo Xiong's forces, I'm afraid"
"Wan Chun, this is my own Yi clan's own business, you are also a member of my Yi clan, I don't want you to criticize the merger of the two Yi tribes, the Vimo tribes are mixed, if you want to achieve unity, the two tribes must be merged."
"The subordinates understand, what about the Luo Xiong forces?"
"Yes, right now, we just want to find out the reality of Luo Xiong's forces, Luo Xiong should have sent someone over, and he should be able to see him at night, and he will be able to find out the wind in time, whether he can find out or not, we will go back tomorrow.
There are too few people now, and it is useless to stay here, go back early, and inform Li Lao of the matter here as soon as possible, with his old man's ability, he will definitely be able to give a solution. β
Crispy mandarin fish with green onions, steamed carp, fried bee pupae with good appetizers, and entertaining foreign guests, the power is now more popular Sanqi duck soup, of course, it is indispensable.
Luo Ba stood outside the humble kitchen, looked at Luo Yi, who was almost busy, and asked in wonder, "Forrest Gump! It's not that he doesn't have an alliance with Li Peng, why do you still prepare such a sumptuous dinner and let people go to the village to get wine.
Damn Qingquan wine, I can't buy a few pounds of military salary in January, and I will give Meng Yi so much this time, are we losing this deal? β
After making the last garlic wild celery, Luo Yi washed his hands and said with a smile: "Uncle Ba, it is appropriate to entertain Meng Yi, this is not to ally with them, but to show the hospitality of our forces."
Besides, Daddy's sworn enemy is Li Peng, maybe Meng Yi will be able to use it for my forces in the future? β
"Okay, I know I can't talk about you, I'll let people invite our guests."
Outside the big tent of Luo Ba's Chinese army, Luo Yi, Huang Ling, and Luo Ba stood outside and prepared to greet Meng Yi who was about to come.
After a while, following Luo Ba's book, two middle-aged men came, and Luo Yi recognized Meng Yilai almost immediately, which is not unusual, the unique temperament of the superior is not comparable to others at all.
I don't know if it's the characteristics of this era, all the people in the upper positions are relatively tall and mighty, Luo Xiong, Luo Ba is like this, and Meng Yi is the same.
In addition, Meng Yi's eight-character eyebrows added a lot of majestic momentum to him, and this person still has a little bookish aura on him, and he is obviously also a person who has read the scriptures a lot.
After Luo Ba and Meng Yi saw each other, Huang Ling and Luo Yi hurriedly bent down and saluted.
"Luo Yi"
"Huang Ling"
"I've seen Commander Meng! I've met Mr. Xie! β
"What is this?"
Meng Yi didn't expect that the person sent by Luo Xiong would be two teenagers, especially one of them, who was only eight or nine years old, and his clothes were even more strange, neither the Confucian robes of the Han family, nor the costumes of other ethnic groups, so he immediately looked at Luo Ba suspiciously.
"Haha! Brother Meng Yi, let me introduce to you, this is Huang Ling, the third son of the old man Huang He, this is my eldest brother's son Luo Yi, you also know that the power is not peaceful now, Lu Ge thinks about plotting against my power every day, the eldest brother and the old man Huang really can't leave, so I sent these two boys over to make amends to you. β
Of course, Meng Yi wouldn't believe Luo Ba's nonsense, and besides, Luo Ba is such a rough man, it is not certain whether he said such words himself, and immediately said with a smile: "Oops! Brother Luo Xiong is really, he can't come, just let the next person go, and the two virtuous nephews don't need to be polite.
However, the two virtuous nephews are both young and handsome, and Brother Luo Xiong asked the two virtuous nephews to come over, I am afraid that it has a deep meaning? β
"Uncle Meng laughed, Daddy and Uncle Huang really couldn't leave, so I asked Third Brother Huang and Huang to come to give you compensation, please forgive me."
"Oh! Brother Luo Xiong, what do you think of the alliance between our two departments? β
"Daddy also let the boy come when he came over, and it's a good thing to form an alliance, of course I agreed."
"Brother Meng Yi, dinner is also ready, let's go in!" Luo Yi, you are really, let the guests stand at the door and talk, like words? Why don't you ask Uncle Meng to come in. β
Although everything had been discussed a long time ago, Luo Ba was still afraid that Luo Yi would make a mistake, mainly because the other party was Meng Yi, so he immediately pretended to scold Luo Yi to remind him.
"Uncle Ba is right, it's the kid who is wrong, Uncle Meng, Mr. Xie, please!"
"Haha! Brother Luo Ba, please! β
The guest and the host sat down, Luo Ba toasted Meng Yi and Xie Wanchun as if they had discussed it in advance, Meng Yi did not refuse to come, I don't know if it was due to his body or usually a large amount.
In addition to praising Qingquan wine for being as delicious as qiong jelly and jade dew, there is nothing to do, and even often diverts the topic, taking the opportunity to talk to Luo Yi and Huang Ling, Luo Yi is young and does not drink, and Huang Ling no longer drinks after a glass of respect to Meng Yi and Xie Wanchun.
are very sober, that is so easy to clichΓ©, Xie Wanchun is more miserable, he is a weak scholar, plus Luo Ba's toast and dare not drink, although Qingquan wine is delicious, but it is as high as forty or fifty degrees, such a high alcohol content, it is very rare to have such a strong wine in this era.
Xie Wanchun just drank Luo Bajing's two bowls, and Huang Lingjing's bowl was no longer awake, so Luo Yi hurriedly asked people to send him back to his residence first.
Eating and drinking, after four bowls, Luo Ba didn't dare to drink so violently, he knew what it would be like to get drunk with this wine, what it would feel like the next day, his head hurt and he felt like he was going to crack, plus Meng Yi seemed to be fine, he didn't want to, Meng Yi didn't pour it down, but folded himself.
The food in the back is relatively decent, and Huang Ling and Luo Yi, who are occasionally asked, also answer in a decent manner, nothing more than Luo Xiong agrees to the alliance, just because of Lu Ge's forces, they can't be separated at all, if the Yi forces can send people to help destroy the Lu Ge forces, the Zhuang forces are willing to merge with the Yi forces.
Although Meng Yi was a little dizzy, he was still very sober, knowing that these were just excuses, and besides, coming to the alliance this time was just a formality, and now since he couldn't find out useful news, there was no need to waste time on Luo Xiong's forces.
After being full of wine and food, Meng Yi left, Luo Ba endured the discomfort and gave Meng Yi a while, making sure that Meng Yi also returned to the guest room, and couldn't hold back anymore.
"Wow... Burst... Wow... Poof......"
Luo Yi and Huang Ling, one of them brought cold water, the other took a burlap towel, wet the linen, wiped Luo Ba's face, and patted him on the back.
It's just that what Luo Yi and the others didn't know was that after Meng Yi confirmed that Luo Ba's people also left the guest room more than ten meters away, they also vomited dimly, and they felt that they were about to vomit out, which also gave them a new understanding of the fierceness of this wine.
This time, Li Kundao arranged for Li Peng's younger brother Li He to go to Lu Ge's forces.
At this time, Li He was changing cups with Lu Ge, who had recovered slightly, although the atmosphere was good, but Li He was very disappointed in Lu Ge's forces, and he entered Lu Ge's forces from the border between Meng Yi's forces and Lu Ge's forces.
What I saw along the way was a desolation, and people went to the empty building, at first I thought it was Lu Ge and Wang Lin's alliance, in order to resist the attack of their own forces, after all, these boundaries bordered the Meng Yi forces.
Approaching the Lu family Dazhai to know that before he came to Lu Ge's forces, Lu Ge's forces had been looted once by Luo Xiong's forces, and the population was directly reduced by three percent, Lu Ge saw himself as if he was seeing his own father, Li He knew that Lu Ge was now at the end of his rope, and Sancheng probably said this in order to stabilize himself.
But these are not important, when he came this time, the clan elder had instructed that all conditions could be met first, as long as he was not allowed to unite with Wang Lin again.
As for whether the clan elder is willing to send troops to aid Lu Ge after agreeing, that is not his own business, but Lu Ge's forces and the matter of iron ore can be regarded as an unexpected gain.
What Li He wants to do now is to play with Lu Ge well, and make this poor man like a life-saving straw happy, and his task can be regarded as completed.
"Luo Yi, what do you think of Meng Yi?"
"It's not simple, that's how this person feels to me, Third Brother Huang, how much do you know about this person?"
"I can't talk about understanding, I heard my father say something, the root said that Meng Yi, the Yi tribe, was only in Vimo in the last hundred years, the reason was that Dali was dissatisfied with the attack of the Great Song Dynasty, and united the 37 departments to attack Sichuan and Shu, and finally lost, the war has always been a loss of life and displacement, and this Yi tribe came at that time.
Meng Yi seems to have only become the commander in the last ten years, and he is not the successor, he fought it himself, I heard that this person can be civil and martial, he is a great character, I don't know how many there are! β
"It seems that he is really a great character, if only he could be used by my forces."
"Alas! You really dare to think that it is only right to bring down Lu Ge first, Meng Yi, I think it is better to talk about it later.
Damn, this wine you handed over to the Ministry of Commerce is too strong, now I feel dizzy, it's getting late, why don't you spend the night here today? β
"Haha! I felt dizzy, I used to."
"How did you before? Drink like a fish? β
"It's okay, it's okay, I used to steal the master's wine and get drunk, let's go, go to sleep."
Damn, I almost leaked my mouth, I almost said that Lao Tzu was an adult before, but today Lao Tzu didn't drink, it's a strange thing, it seems that I can't relax my nerves too much in the future! If you say something that shouldn't be said, it's hard to explain.
