Zhu Rong led the barbarian warriors out of Jiaozhi.

In addition to bringing the cave master and a group of barbarians who were stunned in the battle of Jiaozhi, the cave master and the king were entourage.

In addition to them, they were accompanied by Jiang Wei, Huang Zhong, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan.

Although Cao Shuo did not send a large army to follow Zhu Rong, the lineup of generals he sent should not be underestimated.

Especially since he also gave so many mines and artillery.

At the beginning, there was only one Zhuge Liang, and she could win Meng Shu repeatedly.

Now that not only these magic weapons, but also Jiang Wei and others are with them, Zhu Rong has more confidence in defeating Meng Shu.

In the days he spent with Cao Shuo, he had also heard that when it came to the use of soldiers, Jiang Wei was better than Zhuge Liang.

Someone who can be better than Zhuge Liang will certainly not have any problems dealing with Meng Shu.

Zhu Rong led the barbarians to leave Jiaozhi.

Cao Shuo was stationed in the city for two more days.

He was studying the map of the wilderness in the official study, wondering how long the war between Zhu Rong and Meng Shu would last, Deng Zhan walked into the room: "Lord, General Sima is here." ”

"Zhongda?" Cao Shuo raised his head and asked, "When did you arrive?" ”

"It's just there." Deng Zhan replied: "The soldiers all went to the barracks, and General Sima came alone to ask for a meeting. ”

"Ask him to come in." Cao Shuo commanded.

Deng Zhan turned his head and retreated, and then he led Sima Yi in.

After entering the house, Sima Yi bowed to Cao Shuo and made a big salute: "I've seen the lord." ”

"Sit down and talk." Cao Shuo motioned for him to sit down.

After taking his seat, Sima Yi asked, "I heard that the lord ordered the barbarian queen to lead the people back, intending to break through the barbarian wilderness of Meng Huo's unification?" ”

"Indeed." Cao Shuo smiled slightly, and said to Sima Yi: "The number of barbarians is enough, and the soldiers have been fighting for a long time, so it's time to rest." ”

"The lord is sympathetic to the soldiers, and the soldiers must be grateful to Dade." Sima Yi replied, and then asked Cao Shuo, "We are stationed here to watch the barbarians fight each other?" ”

"This is the closest to the barbarians' territory." Cao Shuo said: "Once the princess is unfavorable in the war, we can also send troops in time. What I want is to completely wipe Meng Huo out of the barbarian territory, and then move the civilians into the wilderness in a big way, and make it part of the Central Plains. ”

"Moving the civilians of the Central Plains to the wilderness, does the lord still want to move the barbarians to the Central Plains?" Sima Yi asked.

"A small amount of migration is fine." Cao Shuo said: "The Central Plains is our root, and we can't give the root to others. A small number of migrating barbarians to the Central Plains will not damage our Central Plains bloodline. As for the places that we conquered, they immigrated from the Central Plains and asked them to merge with other races. ”

He stood up and walked to the window to look at the scenery outside: "It's easy to conquer, but it's not easy to completely merge." The hundred-year plan, by the time it is achieved, I am afraid that those of us will already be in the past. ”

"Has the lord noticed that we are all old, but the lord is still the same as when he was a teenager." Sima Yi suddenly burst out.

Cao Shuo turned around and smiled at Sima Yi: "Do you really think so?" ”

"Didn't the lord find out?" Sima Yi asked rhetorically.

"It seems to be." Cao Shuo replied with a smile: "Heaven favors, I thought that after many years of conquest, I would always look older, but I didn't expect it to be the same as before." ”

"Maybe a hundred years later, we are gone, and the lord is still like this." Sima Yi replied with a smile.

"How is that possible?" Cao Shuo shook his head: "But all people will die." Although I don't seem to be a few years older, I know that sooner or later, I will have to hand over the country to Cao Heng and them. ”

Sima Yi didn't say anything more, he knew that what Cao Shuo said was the truth.

There are talents in the country, and now they are the ones who are leading the way, and in a hundred years, another group of people will be in charge of the world.

These people will no longer have anything to do with the great rivers and mountains, at most they will only leave a piece of the past for future generations to comment.

After Zhu Rong led the team to leave Jiaozhi, he advanced directly to the hinterland of Nanban.

Entering the Southern Barbarian Realm, Jiang Wei and Huang Zhong and others completely understood why Cao Shuo didn't plan to let the soldiers come here.

There are mountains and forests everywhere, and if they hadn't followed the ranks of the Southern Barbarians, they probably wouldn't even be able to go out of the mountains.

There are too many mountains and forests, but the horses that transport the cannons are miserable.

From the first two horses to four horses, dragging cannons along the mountain road, there is still someone to watch the road.

The cannon was heavy, and if it was slightly tilted, it had to be straightened immediately, and if it fell, it would delay a lot of travel.

When he left Jiaozhi with the cannon, Zhu Ronghe and the others couldn't hide the joy in their hearts.

Walking up the mountain road, they discovered that the cannon also had drawbacks.

Such a heavy big guy must be deployed before the two sides go to war.

Moreover, the location of the deployment must be hidden, otherwise once it is discovered by the enemy, it is likely that the artillery will be taken away by the enemy.

Although the enemy will not use it if it is taken, let alone have enough shells, it is just a pile of scrap metal for them, but without artillery, the future war will be much more difficult.

Glancing back at the cannon that followed behind, Zhu Rong asked Jiang Wei: "General Jiang, the cannon is so heavy, how can I carry it in future battles?" ”

"There are a few ways to do this." Jiang Wei said: "One is to ambush the cannon in the mountains and forests in advance, wait until the battle begins, and then suddenly fire at the enemy. When the enemy army encounters a surprise attack, it will be chaotic, and then the princess can kill the enemy as long as she leads the warriors to charge and kill. The second is to put the cannons in the big array, but I think it's better not to do that in the first few big battles. ”

"Why?" Zhu Rong asked in surprise: "The cannons are arranged for Meng Shu to see, isn't it easier to make him frightened?" ”

"Without mystery, the chill is not as strong as not knowing what gave them the fatal blow." Jiang Wei replied: "Princess, think about it, is it more frightening to see the artillery fire flashing in the opponent's array, or is it completely unaware of what is more frightening to give them the fatal blow?" ”

Zhu Rong thought for a moment, nodded and said, "If he hadn't seen the cannon, Meng Huo would have thought that Tianlei was punishing him." ”

"That's it." Jiang Wei said with a bright smile: "Meng Shu has no idea what is beating them, so he will be afraid of the princess. Not only him, but even those cave masters and kings under him may not be long before they will cast on the princess's side. ”

"What the husband said is really right, General Jiang's grasp of the battlefield is indeed better than Zhuge Kongming." Zhu Rong said: "In the future, I will rely on the general to fight with Meng Huo." ”

"It's good that the princess can trust me!" Jiang Wei responded.
