Based on Su Heng's current understanding of Zhao Wouji, this Great Chu Heavenly Son is ambitious, and he has the spirit to swallow up the Six Kingdoms and establish a prosperous era of Great Chu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

How could such a person casually hand over a 100,000-strong army to others, even if this person was his heir.

Kings have always had a keen desire to control power, and they all want to hold all the power in their own hands, if there are not many barbarian soldiers recruited this time, maybe Zhao Wuji can rest assured that he can fulfill what he said to Su Heng before, but 100,000 people, this variable is too big.

The most critical point is that the barbarians are loyal by nature, and this time Wen Sitong hyped up Su Heng's favor to the barbarians within the barbarians, causing the barbarians to regard Su Heng as a benefactor and expressed their willingness to serve their lives.

If Zao Wou-Ki knew this, he would definitely be jealous, and he would not be at ease to divide this army under Zhao Jinyu's command.

Dismiss? Only a part?

This thought flashed in Su Heng's heart, but it was quickly dispelled, the Skynet forces were all over Dachu, and his every move in Lingnan would probably have already turned into all kinds of information in the hands of Zhao Wouji, at this time, if he took the initiative to dismiss the army, in the eyes of Zhao Wouji, a suspicious king, wouldn't it be clear that he had a ghost in his heart, and there were no three hundred taels of silver here?

"Sir, several of the great elders of the barbarian clan want to see you." Qin Yongzhi broke Su Heng's thoughts, Su Heng looked up, and saw Qin Yongzhi followed by several barbarian elders, whose facial features were no different from those of the Han people, but his body inherited a little bit of the barbarians, tall, strong, and powerful.

These people all look like they have reached the age of sixties, their hair and beards are white, but they are in good spirits, their bodies are straight, and they are very energetic, and it can be seen that the physique of the barbarians is very good, even if it is a white-haired old man, he lives a healthy life in the harsh environment in the ancient forest.

"Meng Er has seen Mr. Su." The leading old man bowed respectfully to Su Heng, his expression was serious and awe-inspiring, and there was a trace of gratitude in his deep old eyes.

The surname Meng is a big surname in the barbarians, although the barbarians are loyal and internally united, but there are also differences between respect and inferiority, such as this surname, the surname Meng is naturally superior, and the candidate for each patriarch is not the surname Meng.

And Meng Er is the patriarch of this barbarian.

Understanding the heart of the barbarians, Su Heng naturally would not be arrogant, and he also politely rushed to help Meng Er, and his tone was friendly and casual: "Mr. Meng is polite, he is just a junior, why do you need to bow down." ”

Being supported by Su Heng, whether it was Meng Er or several elders behind him, they all showed gratitude, since their barbarians were suppressed by Confucianism, who dared to show kindness to their barbarians in this Lingnan County, outsiders all called them Southern Barbarians, barbarians, and now hearing this old gentleman, they were deeply relieved and at the same time, their good impression of Su Heng rose a lot again.

Meng Er let out a kind smile, and then said, "Mr. Su, the old man came this time to ask Mr. Su for something. ”

Meng Er secretly observed Su Heng's expression as he spoke, and after making sure that his face did not show displeasure, he continued: "I heard Lord Wen say that Mr. Su said a lot of good things for our barbarians in front of Your Majesty this time, so Your Majesty agreed to recruit a group of soldiers among our barbarians to serve the country, for this, our barbarians are grateful, as long as Mr. Su says a word in the future, our clan will go all out to repay Mr. for his kindness." ”

Meng Er first thanked a few words, expressed the thoughts of the barbarians he represented, and then went straight to the topic: "Sir also knows that Confucianism once bewitched the Holy Lord to give a precept to our barbarians, and without permission, we are not allowed to step out of the ancient forest for half a step for life. ”

The barbarian ancient forest resources are scarce, the environment is harsh, resulting in extremely poor living conditions for the whole clan, if it is not for the natural strong body to support, I am afraid that every year because of the bad environmental impact, a lot of people will die, so the entire Manchu people are eager to leave the ancient forest, to live in the outside world.

After Meng Er finished speaking, he looked at Su Heng earnestly with several elders behind him, his eyes full of anticipation.

Su Heng didn't speak, just expressionless, not revealing his inner thoughts, but his mind was active for a while.

The initiative of the barbarian elders made him think of a way, he was afraid that there were too many barbarians recruited this time, which would cause Zao Wou-ki's jealousy, and if he took the initiative to dismiss, he would show his humility in front of Zao Wou-ki, but the gains outweighed the losses, and secondly, the barbarians came to join the army with enthusiasm, but you sent them back, which will undoubtedly offend some barbarians, and the two are not pleased, but this time several powerful elders of the barbarians came together, if they let them open their mouths, recall those barbarian soldiers, In this way, Zao Wou-Ki will not be jealous of suspicion, and he will not offend the barbarians, the best of both worlds.

With an idea in his heart, Su Heng was also a lot more relaxed, showed a gentle smile, and said: "Your Majesty is wise and martial, I will definitely convey Mr. Meng's words to Your Majesty, I believe that Your Majesty should cancel the precept, even if Your Majesty is deceived by the villain and does not agree to this matter, I will definitely work with the Nine Emperor Princes to dissuade Your Majesty and let him lift the precept." ”

Zao Wou-ki's attitude towards the barbarians Su Heng certainly knew that before he ascended the throne, Zao Wou-Ki tried to win over Confucianism, so he naturally suppressed the barbarians infinitely, and now that Zao Wou-Ki is firmly on the throne, his attitude towards the barbarians and Confucianism has also changed, and he has begun to plan to suppress Confucianism and win over the barbarians, so Zhao Wou-Ki will definitely agree to Meng Er's plea.

However, Su Heng still raised the names of himself and Zhao Jinyu to deepen their prestige in the hearts of the barbarians and gain more gratitude from them.

Sure enough, hearing Su Heng's words, Meng Er and several barbarian elders immediately nodded gratefully, and kept saying words of thanks to Su Heng and Zhao Jinyu in their mouths.

Su Heng smiled slightly, and then pretended to be embarrassed: "But this time the number of barbarians joining the army is too large, and when the time comes, the Confucian dog will jump over the wall in a hurry, and he will stand up against it, and force His Majesty to cancel the recruitment of troops in the barbarians." ”

Meng Er didn't know the situation in the court, let alone Zhao Wouji's attitude, hearing Su Heng say this, coupled with the hatred with Confucianism, he was convinced of Su Heng's words, and immediately asked eagerly: "I don't know what Mr. Su can do?" ”

This time the imperial court recruited troops in the barbarians is a good start for the barbarians, it is an important opportunity, Meng Er, as the patriarch, will never allow accidents to happen, so for this recruitment, he is more eager than anyone else, more concerned than anyone else.

Seeing Meng Er's eagerness, Su Heng smiled in his heart and said quietly: "At least half of it must be dismissed, firstly, it can alleviate the cost of this recruitment, so that the courtiers have nothing to say, and secondly, the reduction of the number of people will be much less threatening to Confucianism, so that even if the Confucian people want to persecute His Majesty at that time, it will be difficult to speak." ”
