Chapter 542: Speechless Liu Zhang
The night of Chengdu City, the bustling is quiet, and the first half of the night is undoubtedly the same. However, in the second half of the night, the city was in chaos.
Of course, it was the matter of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, which quickly spread throughout the city, making the whole city seem to move.
The battle between Liu Yi and Mrs. Zhurong on the street captured Mrs. Zhurong. It spread like the wind to the ears of those who had some power in the city. In an instant, most of the people were shocked. Mainly, basically, as long as you know, you know that Mrs. Zhurong is Meng Shu's wife, this Southern Barbarian King, brave and arrogant, at this time, someone kidnapped his tiger beard, I am afraid that it will inevitably cause Meng Shu's anger. If this matter cannot be dealt with in time, in case Meng Shu is angry with Yizhou, then things will not be good.
The first to move, of course, was Lei Tong, who knew the inside story, but when it happened, he knew the strictness in it. However, he also knew that there was no way for him to stop this prince of the Li Yao clan. Fortunately, he thought that this was just a play, as long as some unnecessary bloodshed was stopped, and when the prince met with Meng Shu and said something, then there would be no business for him. Therefore, what he had to do was to send troops to surround the post station first, as the prince said, so that Meng Shu would not be angry and immediately attack the post station to save people.
Therefore, his movements were also very fast, and he and Su Xin parted ways, he went home to get his talisman, and then went to the city army camp in the city, lit up thousands of men and horses, and immediately rushed to the post station, and ordered these soldiers to surround the post station first.
He was eager to go into the inn and talk to the prince so that he wouldn't make a big deal out of it. But in the post station. actually took precautions, although the number of people was not large, but one by one they were bowed and arrowed. Don't let him in.
And outside the city, as Liu Yi expected, someone had already reported the conflict between Mrs. Zhurong and the prince of the Nali Yao tribe in Chengdu to Meng Xu. However, Meng Shu was still a little hesitant for a while, because in his mind, he was here in Chengdu as a guest. With 100,000 soldiers and horses, who would dare to provoke him? He actually didn't believe it a little, in Chengdu City. There will be people who will dare to disadvantage his wife.
Su Xin came at this time, Meng Shu knew Su Xin, knew Su Xin's identity, and also knew that Su Xin was the senior sister of his wife Zhu Rong. A martial arts. is no worse than Zhu Rong, Meng Shu is also quite scruples about Su Xin. Because he knows that he can't beat his wife Zhurong himself, then he shouldn't be able to beat Su Xin.
Su Xin told him about the conflict between Mrs. Zhurong and the prince of the Li Yao tribe, and mentioned that the prince was rude and would not rescue Mrs. Zhurong in time. I don't know what will happen to Mrs. Zhurong.
As soon as she said this, Meng Shu was really anxious.
He hesitated. It was because he had already formed an alliance with the Yizhou side, and he was confident that the governor of the three armies of Yizhou, who had formed an alliance with him, would definitely handle this matter for him soon and would not let him come forward. After all, troops are about to be sent to attack the Xinhan army, and at this time, relying on the Yizhou side of his Meng Shou will definitely not let his wife have anything to do. Because he knew that the significance of this alliance was great, and the Yizhou side definitely didn't want any accidents to happen to this expedition and cause a miscarriage.
Also, it's been late now, and the city gates of Chengdu have been closed. Naturally, there is no problem for him to enter the city, and he can call to open the city gate at any time, but if he wants to bring troops into the city, I am afraid it will be a little troublesome, and the person who is allied with him is still a little wary of him and will not let him enter the city.
But now, it doesn't matter a single qiē. In any case, he didn't want his woman to have any accidents, he had to, he was about to rescue his woman, even if it was a moment of slowness, his heart was uneasy.
For Mrs. Zhurong, Meng Huo really likes it, and it goes deep into her bones. As soon as he thought of Mrs. Zhurong's surprise, his heart was like a knife.
After Su Xin left, Meng Shu couldn't sit still, it didn't matter what he sent troops tomorrow, what an alliance was, or what he was.
At this moment, there is already a fire in his heart, and he even has a certain amount of resentment towards Yizhou.
Because, the Yizhou side must know that his Southern Barbarian Clan and the Li Yao Clan are incompatible, and they are enemies, at this time, after the Yizhou side formed an alliance with himself, what did the prince of the Li Yao clan do in Chengdu? Could it be that behind his back, what kind of shady deal do you want to do with the Li Yao clan?
For Meng Shu, the king of the Southern Barbarians, the Li Yao clan was already an enemy he had to get rid of. Why? Because the place occupied by the Li Yao tribe just blocked the only way for their Southern Barbarian Department to develop in Middle-earth. Meng Huo, who has great talents, after unifying the Southern Barbarian Department, he naturally has a mind to chase the deer. Of course, even if he didn't have this mind, there was a Li Yao tribe in the middle of the connection between their Nanban tribe and Middle Earth, which also brought too much restriction to his Nanban tribe, at least, the trade with the Han people was extremely inconvenient, or even no trade at all.
On the Yizhou side, convenience is convenient, but it has always been in a hostile state of stalemate. Now the alliance with Yizhou is also an opportunity for the development of his Nanban tribe, and it has finally broken the ice for many years. From the Yizhou side, they can get more resources for the development of their Nanban tribe.
You must know that the Han people are quite contemptuous of their Nanban tribes, and do not trade with them. Of course, because their tribe is indeed too arrogant, the Han people in Yizhou are a little disdainful of them, and they are also a little afraid, it turns out that Liu Yan, the assassin of Yizhou, or the current Liu Zhang, is unwilling to interact with their southern barbarians. Now, the governor of the three armies in Yizhou finally contacted him personally, so Meng Xu couldn't wait to lead 100,000 military horses to Chengdu to form an alliance.
But now, Mrs. Zhurong has been arrested by the prince of the Li Yao clan, and Meng Xu can't take care of anything too much.
The Li Yao clan has the custom of snatching wives at will, Mrs. Zhurong was arrested, and Meng Shu was really worried about the murder.
Meng Huo lit up tens of thousands of horses in one breath and drove to the city of Chengdu with a bang.
This time, it really shocked the defenders of the city.
Tens of thousands of southern barbarian troops, if they break into Chengdu City. Once something happens, I'm afraid you can't control it. And, the people of Yizhou. It has always been in a state of cold war with the Nanban tribes, and in peacetime, the Nanban tribesmen have really done a lot of bad things about burning, killing, and plundering the Han people. In Yizhou, the name of the Southern Barbarians can be stopped.
The guards at the gate of Chengdu City did not dare to open the city gate to let the southern barbarian army enter the city.
But the more so the defenders of Chengdu were. Meng Huo became more and more angry, and he couldn't bear it at first, and he wanted to attack the city without opening the city gate.
The guards of the city gate shouted and begged him to report to the officials. But where can Meng Yu wait?
When he was about to give the order to attack the city, the Chengdu city gate guard had a flash of inspiration and put forward an opinion. Meng Shu felt that it was acceptable, so he led people into Chengdu City.
The city gate guards demanded that Meng Shu could only bring 2,000 men into the city. The other Southern Barbarian horses had to retreat first. If only 2,000 people enter the city of Chengdu. This can be controlled, if there are too many, tens of thousands of southern barbarian soldiers and horses enter the city, once something happens, I am afraid that it will be really difficult to control the situation.
In this way, it is unlikely that Meng Shu will really attack the city, so he is anxious about the safety of Mrs. Rong, so he has no choice but to compromise. He pointed out two thousand elite rattan armor soldiers and ordered the other military horses to retreat a mile or two to stand by.
So. Meng Huo, who entered the city, murderously rushed to the post station where Liu Yi was.
At the same time, on the Yizhou side, Liu Bei, who was already the governor of the three armies in Yizhou, was accompanying Liu Zhang in a secret talk.
Of course, Liu Zhang was hiding in a hospital bed.
Speaking of which, Liu Zhang's person is indeed not bad, proficient in the book of Confucianism, and generous, perhaps, because of the relationship between the high status at the beginning, there is a father who has laid a big territory for him, so there is still a little bit of ambition. He may not have the ambition to compete for the world, but he still has the intention of keeping the foundation laid down by his father.
However, he is indeed too bookish, to put it bluntly, he reads too much, and he reads too much.
Until now, because of various relationship problems, he actually didn't suspect Liu Bei, and actually thought that everything Liu Bei did was for him Liu Zhang.
This, whether Liu Zhang is confused, ignorant, or simple. In fact, he is indeed like this, even in history, he is stupid to think that Liu Bei is a good person, and actually allowed Liu Bei to lead the army into Sichuan and directly lead the wolf into the house. In fact, at that time, some people were persuading Liu Zhang and reminding Liu Zhang, but Liu Zhang just didn't believe it.
If someone hadn't come up with some definite evidence to prove Liu Bei's wolf ambitions, Liu Zhang would not have beheaded Zhang Song and Liu Bei.
And now, in this life, Liu Bei has come directly to Liu Zhang's side, and Liu Zhang believes Liu Bei even more indiscriminately. It is also because Liu Bei's identity is concealed and there is a little mystery, so that those courtiers who should have conspired with Liu Bei to seize Xichuan in history did not explicitly support Liu Bei. And those Yizhou courtiers who opposed Liu Bei's entry into Sichuan didn't know how powerful it was. On the contrary, Liu Bei's series of operations, some strategic strategies and some means revealed made some military generals and subordinates in Yizhou admire Liu, especially some military generals and courtiers who were a little dissatisfied with Liu Zhang in Yizhou, and slowly threw themselves into Liu Bei.
In this way, now that Liu Zhang is sick and lying in bed, Liu Bei is appointed as the governor of the three armies in Yizhou, so that after Liu Bei really obtains the military power, he can completely empty Liu Zhang, and even put Liu Zhang under house arrest, Liu Zhang himself is still confused.
In fact, that, Liu Zhang's sudden serious illness is also very abnormal, and it is estimated that it is also Liu Bei's means.
On the one hand, Liu Bei slowly took control of Yizhou without telling Liu Zhang, and on the other hand, he also pretended to be a good person in front of Liu Zhang, and almost every day he was shouting at Liu Zhang, pretending to tell him about the situation in Yizhou one by one, and asking him to make a decision, which made Liu Zhang trust Liu Bei even more, thinking that Liu Bei was really assisting him.
This Liu Zhang really makes people feel speechless.
Someone came to report to Liu Bei about the affairs in the city, he was taken aback, and secretly shouted that something bad was wrong, and he knew that this was the case, so he would not welcome the prince of the Li Yao clan to Chengdu.
It was Liu Bei's order to send Zhang Song, Huang Quan, and Lei Tong to welcome Liu Yi to Chengdu, and he thought that the Li Yao clan might also be able to use it, but on the one hand, he wanted to stabilize Liu Zhang, and on the other hand, he wanted to hide that Liu Zhang had an alliance with the Southern Barbarian King Meng Shu, and discussed sending troops to counterattack the New Han army attacking in Sichuan. In addition, the prince of the Li Yao clan clearly said that he wanted to meet Liu Zhang, and at this critical moment, Liu Bei would definitely not let Liu Zhang show up. Therefore, he wanted to snub the prince of the Li Yao clan first, and then see the prince of the Li Yao clan after the army went out.
I didn't expect that this prince would be so bold, he would dare to provoke the Nanban tribe with 100,000 troops and horses here, and he would dare to arrest the woman that the Nanban king Meng Shu cared about the most.
To be honest, the Li Yao clan, Liu Bei feels that it can be used, but in his heart, it is not too important, the son of a different tribe, what is the prince called? What's it? Therefore, he really didn't care too much, even if he was killed by Meng Shu, he wouldn't care too much.
But what made Liu Bei care was that Meng Shu actually led tens of thousands of troops to enter the city, which really scared Liu Bei, this is absolutely unacceptable, in case those barbarian soldiers enter the city, see the prosperity of Chengdu City, and loot the soldiers, this will be a devastating blow to Chengdu. In this case, how can we talk about sending troops tomorrow?
Now, Meng Shucai led two thousand men into the city, and Liu Bei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He quietly bid farewell to Liu Zhang, told Liu Zhang to recuperate, and ordered people to strictly guard him and not let anyone come in to see Liu Zhang. He just left to see how it went.
In Liu Bei's heart, what he hoped more was that Meng Shu could quickly cut through the chaos and kill the prince of the Li Yao clan in one fell swoop, and destroy the people brought by this prince. and rescue Mrs. Zhurong, so that the matter can be settled immediately. Tomorrow's dispatch can still continue.
But when he heard that Lei Tong actually led his troops to surround the post station first, he felt a little bad feeling, this, without his order, the military generals of Yizhou actually dared to mobilize the military horses in the city without permission? Who gave him the guts? Also, on the Yizhou side, there are so many generals, why did Lei Tong lead the army?
Liu Bei hurried to the post station.
At this time, as Liu Yi thought, and what Liu Bei hoped, Meng Shu didn't put any prince of the Li Yao clan in his eyes at all, and in his heart, he didn't even think about negotiating with this prince, he was holding the intention of directly killing the post station, rescuing Mrs. Zhurong, and then, killing these people of the Li Yao clan to the point that no chicken and dog were left.
"Whoever dares to stop this king will be killed! Kill! ”
Meng Shu, who rushed to the post station in a murderous manner, did not hesitate at all, nor did he see clearly that the soldiers surrounding the post station were soldiers and horses from the Yizhou side, so he directly ordered an attack. (To be continued......)
