Cao Shuo arranged for Huang Zhong to bring twenty cannons and 5,000 mines to the Zhurong tribe.

Jiang Wei also led the warriors back to rest temporarily.

Meng Huo only sent a small number of warriors to garrison the place that had been attacked by Jiang Wei, so that they would not be caught off guard the next time they came.

In the cave mansion, Meng Shu summoned a group of cave masters under him.

Sitting in the cave mansion, the eyes of the cave masters fell on Meng Shu's face.

"Jiang Wei led people to defeat the vulture bones first, and then killed Yang Feng." Meng Xu looked around at the cave masters with a very bad face: "In fact, after defeating Yang Feng, his subordinates have not lost a few people at all, if they continue to move forward, it will still bring us a lot of trouble." But he didn't do that, but chose to go back. What do you think he wants to do? ”

The cave masters looked at each other one by one, and they didn't know what to say.

They didn't understand why Jiang Wei suddenly withdrew with people when he obviously had such a big advantage.

"He's probably out of mines." No one was silent among the cave masters, but Dong Di, who had never been treated well by Meng, spoke first: "Neither the vulture bone nor Yang Feng were defeated by the warriors he brought, but by the killing weapon brought by Jiang Wei. If it weren't for the artillery and mines, the vultures wouldn't have been defeated so quickly. If it weren't for the mines, Yang Feng would not have suffered such a big loss. Speaking of which, the enemy's weapons are too good, and if we want to defeat them, attacking is definitely not a good choice. ”

"Do you think you should stick to it?" Meng Shu frowned and asked him.

"At least it's not like it used to be a purposeless rush to kill indiscriminately." Dong Dana replied: "Jiang Wei withdrew, firstly, because of the lack of their killing weapon belts, and secondly, they are not very familiar with the terrain here. ”

"Say it all at once." Meng Shu was not interested in Dong Dana's analysis, and he said impatiently: "You said that if Jiang Wei comes back next time, how will you deal with him?" ”

"He wasn't familiar with the terrain, so we took advantage of it." Dong Dana said: "Find two mountains and station some warriors. When Jiang Wei passed by, don't pay attention to them. Until they and the army behind them came face to face. When the battle begins, their cannons will surely go off, and then let the warriors in ambush rush forward and deal with their cannons first. Without the artillery, I would like to know what advantage they have. ”

What Dong Dana said was reasonable, and Meng Shu frowned for a while without saying a word.

He didn't speak, how dare the cave masters express their stance easily, they all just looked at him silently.

After a long time, Meng Shu asked the cave masters, "What do you think of Dong Dana's proposal?" ”

"I think it's doable." The first to speak was Meng Wei: "Dong Di's cave master was the first to follow the vulture bones to the Zhurong tribe, and they have seen a lot of things there that we haven't seen. Since he said that he could ambush the men in advance, wait for Jiang Wei to pass by and then launch a surprise attack from behind and take down their artillery, we have a chance of winning. ”

"That's right." Meng Shu nodded and said, "Then follow Dong Di's method." ”

Looking at Dong Dana and Meng Wei, Meng was instructed: "You two each bring 5,000 people, choose a mountain to guard." If Jiang Wei comes, you can put them over first and find out where their cannons are before attacking. ”

Dong Dana and Meng Wei stood up and retired from the cave.

When he arrived outside the cave, Dong Dana asked Meng Wei: "Where are the two kings going?" ”

"I listen to you." Meng Wei said: "I have never seen the appearance of cannons and mines, but I have heard that they are powerful, but I have never seen them with my own eyes. When the vulture bone took the warriors to fight Zhurong, you had experienced it yourself, and you also had some understanding of those two killing weapons. Whatever you say, I'll listen to you. ”

Meng Wei didn't have any trust in Dong Di, he didn't expect Meng Wei to give him enough trust.

Looking at Meng Wei in astonishment, Dong Dana asked, "The second king believes me?" ”

"Why don't I believe you." Meng Wei said: "People who have seen killing weapons, even if they don't know how to deal with them, at least they know how to dodge them. With you passing on your experience to me, the warriors I bring out will die less. Only if more warriors are alive can we stop Jiang Wei and make him unable to take another step forward. ”

"If the king can think like the second king, the battle will be easy to fight." Dong Dana sighed and said to Meng Wei: "The king has never believed me, and I am thinking that he may still want to kill me." This time, he asked the two of us to lead someone to intercept Jiang Wei behind his back, probably because he wanted the two of us to fall into death. ”

"Why do you think so?" Meng Wei said: "If he wants to put the two of us to death, he will make the two of us go to intercept Jiang Wei." You and I know very well how many people there are in Jiang Wei. In the past, he really didn't like to see you, but this time I think he really believes in you. ”

"I hope so." Dong Di nodded uncertainly.

The two of them each took the five thousand warriors of the tribe to the place that had been attacked by Jiang Wei.

As they pass through those places, they inevitably come across some villages.

At the beginning, Jiang Wei led the warriors to pass through here, and every village he came to would be sacked.

What was once a populated village is now depressed.

Not to mention people, not even a single live animal could be found.

Passing through a village, Meng Wei looked towards the entrance of the village.

"How many villages are this?" Dong Dana asked him.

"Seventeenth." Meng Wei replied.

"It's an empty village again." Dong Dana said: "The place where Jiang Wei passed by is really not a single grass. Men and women, he didn't leave even one. ”

"I can't figure out why he did it." Dong Dana asked, "What benefits can they get from slaughtering the village?" ”

"Have you forgotten the village in front of you?" Meng Wei said to Dong Dana: "All the villages have been looted, not only have not only the living people not been seen, but the food and tools in the village are also gone, all of them have been taken away. ”

"In the past, when we went to the Central Plains, we didn't loot so cleanly." Dong Dana said with annoyance: "I think Jiang Wei wants to take advantage of this crusade against the king to avenge the Central Plains people who were looted by us in the past." ”

"No matter how powerful Jiang Wei is, he is also from the Central Plains." Meng Wei replied: "The people of the Central Plains, how can they show mercy to our people? ”

Dong Di sighed helplessly.

What Meng Wei said was indeed right, Jiang Wei was from the Central Plains, not their clan.

When they attacked the village of the Central Plains, didn't they also have no mercy?
