On the third day of Jiang Wei's return with the army, Huang Zhong set out from Jiaozhi.

Jiaozhi is much closer to the place where the Zhurong people live, than the distance Jiang Wei returned.

It's just that the team led by Huang Zhong also carried twenty cannons and five thousand mines, and there were countless shells in addition to that.

There was too much baggage to be transported, which invisibly slowed down their process.

Jiang Wei, who was relatively far away, set off two days early, although he had a lot of baggage, due to the large number of warriors, it did not affect the progress of the march.

The two teams rushed to Zhurong's station from two directions, and they arrived on the same day as if they had discussed it.

I had already received the news of Jiang Wei's consecutive victories, and I heard that he and Huang Zhong each led a team of men and horses back, and Zhu Rong personally welcomed him out of the cave.

The days of pregnancy have not been too long, Zhu Rong's lower abdomen is only slightly raised, and she is not particularly careful, and she can't see that she is pregnant with a fetus in her belly.

Jiang Wei and Huang Zhong are not on the same path.

Zhu Rong, who was standing outside the cave, saw two groups of people and horses gathering into one not particularly far from the cave.

Merging with Huang Zhong, Jiang Wei asked Huang Zhong as he continued to advance, "General Huang, have you been sent to Jiaozhi?" ”

"Sent it." Huang Zhong said: "The lord is very appreciative of Boyo, and specially allocated another 20 cannons and 5,000 mines. ”

"Twenty more cannons?" Jiang Wei's eyes lit up.

"The lord said that Meng Huo's army is strong, and with the cannons in our hands now, it is impossible to completely defeat him, so we transferred twenty more guns, and I will meet Zhu Rong on the battlefield in the future, so that he can taste the taste of cannons."

"I was worried that there were not enough mines, so the lord ordered General Huang to send so many." Jiang Wei said: "There are twenty more cannons, no matter how strong Meng Shu is, we are not afraid of him." ”

"I heard that Boyo defeated Yang Feng a few days ago and got a lot of benefits from the barbarians." Huang Zhong asked, "When do you plan to go out again when you come back this time?" ”

"After chasing so far, the warriors are already tired." Jiang Wei replied: "Go back to the clan to recuperate for a few days, and then I will mention the expedition to the princess." ”

"That's what Boyo said." Huang Zhong replied: "The lord also said that Meng Huo has a large number of men and horses, and thirty cannons will go into battle together, and it may be possible to advance all the way to the center of his territory. Defeating Meng Shu is not as simple as we originally thought. ”

"That's what General Huang said." Jiang Wei nodded.

The two of them were talking, and they were not far from the cave.

Zhu Rong came up with a group of cave masters.

Seeing her come forward, Jiang Wei, Huang Zhong and others saluted one after another, and greeted in their mouths: "Princess." ”

Zhu Rong nodded and said to Jiang Wei: "General Jiang has made great achievements in this expedition and made great contributions to our people, and I will definitely inform my husband of everything that happened here." ”

"Thank you, Princess." Although it was clear that Cao Shuo already knew everything that happened here, and even knew the details without missing the slightest, Jiang Wei still thanked Zhu Rong.

Looking at Huang Zhong, Zhu Rong said, "I heard that General Huang returned to Jiaozhi a few days ago. ”

"Exactly." Huang Zhong replied: "I was escorting the vulture to see the lord, and I planned to return when I arrived, but the lord wanted to keep me there for a few days. They told me to bring 20 cannons and 5,000 mines when I returned. ”

When Zhu Rong returned from Jiaozhi, Cao Shuo only gave her ten cannons and two thousand mines.

What Huang Zhong brought back was more than twice as much as it was at that time.

Looking at the team behind Huang Zhong, she saw that the team was escorting some cannons and many carriages.

"Why did the husband send so much?" Zhu Rong asked puzzled.

"The lord said that Meng Huo has a large number of men, and if we don't have enough artillery and mines, it is impossible to solve the matter here in the short term." Huang Zhong said: "So the lord allocated these ordnance and specially asked me to send it over. ”

"Now that we are fighting a war, it seems that there are no artillery and mines, and we are not used to it." Jiang Wei said with a smile: "To break the vultures, we used cannons and mines. To repel Yang Feng, we also used the mines to blow them up first. If you don't bring these weapons with you, you really don't know how many days it will take to break through the enemy. ”

"My husband sent these things, and we can't let him down." Zhu Rong subconsciously touched his stomach and said to Jiang Wei and the others: "To fight against Meng Huo, I can't go into battle in person, and I have to worry about the generals." ”

"Don't worry, princess." Jiang Wei replied: "With us here, there is no need for the princess to bother." ”

"Before the warriors came back, I consulted with a few cave masters." Zhu Rong said to Jiang Wei and the others: "I plan to ask General Jiang to lead all the warriors in the clan, I don't know what the general thinks?" ”

Zhu Rong planned to give him all the warriors to command, Jiang Wei was stunned: "The princess wants to ......"

"Meng Huo is much stronger than us!" Zhu Rong replied: "Even if the warriors are handed over to General Jiang, it is still pitiful compared to Meng Shu. Look at all the cave masters in our clan, although they are all desperate warriors, they are not as good as General Jiang in their use of soldiers. By handing over the warriors to the generals, our chances of victory are greater. ”

"The princess is entrusted by the family, how dare I take it lightly." Zhu Rong sincerely entrusted all the warriors in the clan to him, Jiang Wei knew that it was pointless for him to shirk it, so he said to Zhu Rong: "We have almost no preparation for this expedition, so we can no longer advance if we just hit the edge of Meng Huo's territory." I'm going to give the Warriors a few days off and wait until they're ready. ”

"The warriors are all under the command of General Jiang, and the important things will be told to me." Zhu Rong said: "As for when to go on the expedition and what to prepare before the expedition, General Jiang will do what he thinks is appropriate." ”

"Thank you for your trust." Jiang Wei thanked Zhu Rong.

Zhu Rong personally led Jiang Wei and the others into the cave to celebrate.

The warriors who followed Jiang Wei on the expedition dispersed and went home one after another.

The warriors who had slaughtered the village and snatched the women were especially fast than the others.

Following Jiang Wei on the expedition, the benefits that the warriors get in the enemy's territory are not necessarily earned by them staying in the clan for a year.

The warriors who accompanied the expedition had long believed that they could reap a lot of benefits by following Jiang Wei.

The warriors who failed to go out for the first time could only watch with their eyes when they saw that their clansmen had brought back so many benefits.

Every warrior of the Zhurong clan is looking forward to the next expedition, and they can follow Jiang Wei to fight against Meng Shu, and they can also get a lot of benefits from it.

The victorious Jiang Wei led the barbarian warriors to withdraw in time and did not fall into the territory of Meng Huo.

Meng Shu did not send anyone to chase after him, and watched them calmly retreat.
