Yizhou County.

Moran Hill.

Between a dangerous and steep mountain, tens of thousands of remnants of the Southern Barbarian army are stationed, the food of this group of soldiers and horses has been eaten, the war horses have all been slaughtered for food, and even the mountain spring water has been cut off.

They are actually holding their last breath now, in a dying state, and they are hiding on the mountain for a long time.

It's not that they don't want to break through and leave, but because the mountains are surrounded by Wu soldiers and horses, and they can't even fly out, and in the face of the siege of the main force of the Wu army, they have no chance to break through at all.

Time passes day by day.

The soldiers of the Southern Barbarian Army on the mountain became weaker and weaker, all of them were skinny and bone-like, their morale was completely lost, and their fighting spirit dissipated, as if they were waiting for death.

"Can we go back to the mountains?"

"The Wu army has already surrounded this place, we can't fight, it's difficult to surrender, and I don't know if they will slaughter us?"

"Even the king has been captured, what else can we do?"

"I heard that the Wu people once killed prisoners, what if we were killed?"

“……”

The soldiers of the barbarian army, who had lost all morale, gathered together in groups of three or five between the mountain streams, and in the face of the uncertain future, they were all panicked and confused in their hearts.

Ever since the capture of the Nanban King, their spirits have been shattered.

Although Mrs. Zhu Rong presides over the overall situation, but in the face of such a predicament, Mrs. Zhu Rong is always inferior to Meng Shu's hardness and iron blood, she is not the king of the Southern Barbarians, and she can't give the Southern Barbarian soldiers or confidence.

The only large camp in the Nanban military camp stands on the top of the mountain.

In the midst of the camp, all the generals gathered.

Mrs. Zhu Rong was wearing armor and a sword, wearing a blood-red cloak, sitting in the position of the main general, her pretty and beautiful face looked a little haggard. The heroic looks of a few months ago are gone.

Now all that appeared on her face was a thick melancholy.

The Nanban generals who sat down to her left and right were even more sad and listless.

"Madam, the water of the Moran River has been blocked upstream, and we don't even have the last clear water!"

At this time, a barbarian general reported with a sad face.

The Moran River was their last source of water, and now even this source of water has been blocked. It's like they're cut off from water.

It has been three days since the food was cut off, and the water has been cut off.

They probably won't be able to survive a day.

"Bring it, how many days can our soldiers survive?"

Mrs. Zhurong raised her head and stared at this younger brother.

"A few days? Sister, it's a question of whether we can survive today! ”

When the cave master heard this, he suddenly said with some bitterness: "Many wounded soldiers have starved to death this morning, and many soldiers are hungry and weak, and they can support at most for one day, one day later." Even if we don't starve to death, we probably won't even have basic combat effectiveness! ”

"Madam, you still have to make a decision early, whether it is surrender or breakthrough, we will listen to you!"

The eyes of all the generals were staring at Mrs. Zhurong.

Since Meng Huo was captured by the Wu army, the backbone of the Southern Barbarian Army was Mrs. Zhu Rong.

In terms of wisdom, Mrs. Zhurong is the smartest person in Nanban, in terms of martial arts. She is also the most powerful person under Meng Huo. Only she can suppress these cave masters.

It's a pity that she is not Meng Shu after all, and she lacks a trace of Meng Shu's decisive spirit.

If Meng Huo had just been captured, she didn't have a trace of indecision in a woman's character, and broke through the siege directly in a bloody battle, and then returned to the mountains, maybe they wouldn't have fallen into this field.

"Three knots of the golden ring. The conditions we put forward to Wu Jun, haven't Wu Jun under the mountain yet replied? Mrs. Zhurong gritted her teeth, and her beautiful eyes were gloomy.

What she wanted was simple, a promise.

But because of Pan Zhang's death, there is no room for peace between them now.

"Nope!"

The golden ring three knots hurriedly stood up. He shook his head at Mrs. Zhurong and said, "Xu Sheng personally guarded the mountain, and the strongest war elephant cavalry regiment of the Wu army guarded the entrance of the mountain stream. ”

"Bastard!"

When Mrs. Zhurong heard this, her delicate jade palm shattered the book case in front of her with a strong energy: "They want to kill tens of thousands of our sons, is it true that Xu Wenxiang is a paper paste when I am a Nanban son?" ”

"Madam, let's break through!"

The Yiman general suggested in a low voice: "As long as we can kill out of Moran Mountain, enter Kunze City, and then return to Nanban Mountain, we still have a chance to regroup!" ”

"Breakout?"

Mrs. Zhurong frowned, and her heart was indeed cold.

If it was a month ago, they would still have a chance to break through, but now, the morale of the soldiers is completely gone, their physical strength has collapsed, and their combat strength is less than thirty percent, even if they break through, they will not be able to get out.

At most, they can only pull a part of the Wu army to accompany the funeral, but once they break through, they will definitely face the annihilation of the entire army.

"Madam, there is a Wu at the bottom of the mountain who is going up the mountain?"

Outside the camp, a barbarian soldier walked in and reported it.

"Alone?"

Mrs. Zhurong's beautiful eyes flickered, and her gaze became brighter.

"Hmm!"

The barbarian soldier nodded.

"Bring it, you go down and bring him up, be polite to him, don't get me anything off, now we are all on the tip of the knife, we can bear a breath, it's a breath!"

Mrs. Zhurong's beautiful eyes flashed with a gleam of essence, and she said in a deep voice.

Most of the Southern Barbarians are unruly, which is one of the reasons why Wu Jun has not been able to answer these days.

"Yes!"

The cave master nodded, and then walked out of the tent.

"Madam, Wu Jun sent an envoy up the mountain at this time, are they ready to agree to our conditions!" Jinhuan Sanjie asked.

"I don't know!"

Mrs. Zhurong shook her head, her face became resolute, and she said word by word: "It depends on what their attitude is, you all go down and prepare, once I don't talk properly, we will break through tonight, even if there is a bloody battle, we have to let some sons leave, how much can we get out, how much!" ”

"No!"

The generals nodded. Then one by one they left the tent with a heavy heart.

About half an hour later, the cave master was brought to open the curtain of the camp, and a middle-aged Confucian student with him walked into the camp tent: "Madam, the person has been brought in!" ”

"Go down!" Mrs. Zhu Rong waved her hand.

"Yes!"

The Cave Master nodded, then exited the tent.

"Who are you?"

Mrs. Zhurong's eyes looked at this middle-aged Confucian who was somewhat polite.

"Da Wu Chen Palace, I've seen Mrs. Zhurong!"

Chen Gong looked up. His eyes narrowed slightly, smiled lightly, and after a polite salute, he introduced himself and said.

His eyes inadvertently glanced at this heroic woman, before the battle of Yizhou Group, Mrs. Zhurong's name was unknown and no one knew.

But now Mrs. Zhurong's name has been on the list in the Dawu military, and she can destroy Pan Zhang with one strategy. Suffice it to say how lethal she is.

"Chen Gong?"

Mrs. Zhurong's heart moved, and the corners of her mouth inadvertently curled a touch of arc: "Although I live in a corner of the Nanban, it is not to the point of knowing nothing about the world's influential figures, I know you, Chen Gong, Zigongtai, the strategist of Lu Bu, the first military general in the world back then, and now the deputy director of the General Staff Department of Soochow." is a high authority, I can't imagine that I can let you go up the mountain in person! ”

This took her by surprise.

At the same time, it also gave her a touch of hope in her heart. Da Wu can send Chen Gong, which means that Da Wu is sincere, at least willing to talk.

"It seems that Madame even knows about the Central Plains!"

Chen Gong's eyes twitched, and he soon regained his composure, and said lightly: "General Pan Zhang's death in battle made the war elephant battalion hate the Southern Barbarian Army to the core. The people in the war elephant camp don't want to talk to you, so I have to go up the mountain myself! ”

"Chen Gong, since you have gone up the mountain, it means that the Wu army still wants us to surrender, and I won't say much nonsense. As long as you can agree to the conditions I have proposed, I will immediately lead my troops to surrender! ”

Mrs. Zhurong exuded this capable aura and said straight to the point.

"Madame, you may still be mistaken!"

Chen Gong smiled faintly: "The reason why I went up the mountain this time is not to discuss the conditions, but to pass on the will of His Majesty Great Wu." ”

"His Majesty's will?"

Mrs. Zhurong's pupils contracted slightly, and her mood became a little nervous.

She actually knows very well that the future of the entire Nanban tribe is in the words of His Majesty Wu in this Great Wu, he said that if he lived, he could live, and he said that if he died, he would die if he escaped into the mountains.

"Your Majesty said that your conditions are not negotiable!"

Chen Gong said: "You only have two choices now, either you can be captured, or you can drag the entire Nanban tribe to be buried with you, as long as you dare to go to war, he promises that the chickens and dogs of the Nanban tribe will not be left, and the slaughter clan will be destroyed!" ”

"Exterminate the Slaughter Clan? Chen Gong, you Da Wu also deceive people too much, don't forget, I still have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in my hands, even if I can't kill them, I can kill them upside down! ”

Mrs. Zhurong's breath became murderous, and she shouted loudly.

"I believe that!"

Chen Gong's face remained unchanged, and his eyes were cold: "But we are injured by this casualty, but are you injured?" You don't seem to have heard clearly what it means to keep chickens and dogs, not to mention the tens of thousands of troops in Moran Mountain, and not to mention the Nanban generals who were captured by us, think about the old and weak women and children in the Nanban Mountain, do you dare to bet? ”

"There is a saying in the Central Plains, stretching out the head is a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife, we Nanban has reached the point where it is today, what am I afraid of?" Mrs. Zhu Rong had a tough attitude and smiled coldly.

"Madam, people are seeking to live, not to die!"

Chen Gong said in a deep voice: "The death of General Pan Zhang has touched the anger of Your Majesty, your Southern Barbarian tribe has only one choice now, that is, surrender, surrender, you still have a chance, the population of the Southern Barbarian tribe is hundreds of thousands, and we don't want to be killed here, if you are not willing to surrender, with our Majesty's current attitude, you have no chance at all." ”

"Once I lead the army to surrender, whether we live or die, it will be up to you to say, when the time comes, you will also slaughter us, our Nanban warriors can die in battle, but they will never be captured!"

Mrs. Zhurong said firmly.

"Is there a difference now?" Chen Gong said: "As long as we trap you for a few days, I'm afraid that we don't need to send troops, we can let you die without a fight, madam, you are a smart person, so I am willing to talk to you, but if you have this attitude, I will have no way!" ”

Mrs. Zhurong's face was pale, and she knew very well in her heart that what Chen Gong said was the truth, but she never dared to believe Wu Ren.

"I'm here to help you!"

Chen Gong looked at Mrs. Zhu Rong, and his words became softer: "As long as you are willing to give up resistance, we will have a chance to persuade Your Majesty to withdraw the order of the massacre and collect the Nanban tribe under the Great Wu Battle Banner, as for what will happen to you Nanban lords, I can't guarantee it, but I can guarantee that the Nanban tribe will not be wiped out!" ”

"Can I trust you?"

Mrs. Zhurong's eyes were sharp.

"You don't have any other choice right now!"

Chen Gong said: "The Bashu side has ceased war, and my Great Wu can dispatch 100,000 elite soldiers to the south at any time, you are so smart, you should be able to think of what the Nanban tribe is facing, it's not good to say, why are you fighting with us!" ”

When Mrs. Zhurong heard this, her eyes were red, but she had to endure a breath, because Chen Gong's words were all right, she took a deep breath, her expression was gloomy, and she was silent for a long time.

You can't hit it.

surrendered, she couldn't believe Wu Jun, after all, killing Pan Zhang was a hurdle that could not be bypassed.

She knew that her choice was the future of Nanban, but she didn't dare to choose it easily.

Chen Gong didn't force her, and stood by calmly, waiting for her choice.

He didn't want to go on a killing spree, but the premise was that Mrs. Zhurong could see the situation clearly.

In the quiet tent, about a quarter of an hour later, Mrs. Zhu Rong's somewhat decadent voice sounded: "My Nanban army can put down resistance and surrender on the spot, but I want to see your majesty!" (To be continued.) )
