Chapter 1165: Rumors
"Say what? I can't even stop a rumor, what are you guys eating? Without waiting for Meng You to finish speaking, Meng Yu's eyes widened and he asked angrily and loudly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Although the Southern Barbarian Army is a coalition army, and the orders of the main general cannot be passed, the control of the army in all aspects is still very tight, and it is impossible to suddenly let the message be noisy.
"The last general is incompetent, please punish the king!" Meng You didn't defend either, and bowed down to plead guilty.
According to Meng Shu's temper, there must be an attack. However, seeing the withering scene of the generals around him, he couldn't breathe out, glanced at Meng You, he slowly sat back on the stone bench, gasped and asked, "What are the rumors outside?" Don't hide it from me, although I am young, I have experienced a lot of things, how can I be frightened by rumors? ”
"Rumors are coming from our own side." Meng You smiled reluctantly and explained in a low voice, "It may be that they retreated into the cave without any harm when they saw the Ning Cave Master, and some people are saying that Li Yi has always been tolerant of people, and even Liu Bei's old enemies have been spared, so he won't be unable to get along with us......"
"Oops!" Meng Shu secretly screamed in his heart, jumped up violently, and wanted to slap his two big mouths first.
After being defeated in Ugo Cave, he was sad and depressed on the one hand, and on the other hand, he only thought about how to resist the attack of the Tang army, and did not consider the problem of people's hearts, but the result was negligence.
Li Yi's consistent style is to be very tough on the battlefield, whether it is for Han people or foreign races, but once he surrenders, he treats prisoners very favorably. This has been verified from the princes of the Central Plains who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty over the years, as well as the various races in Liaodong, Dadesert and Xiliang.
Normally, this is a good thing, at least there is a way to live. But the problem is that Meng Huo doesn't plan to be subservient, he still has the ambition to compete for the crown.
When such rumors spread, the problem is very serious.
Meng Huo's own team was wiped out in the war, and the soldiers and horses of the Southern Barbarians who were later collected had no intention of fighting to the death, and they all ran away while the chaos was scattered, and when they retreated into the Uridong Cave, Meng Huo's descendants only had more than 3,000 people left by the third brother Meng You, and they could not have an advantage. It was only by virtue of his own prestige and the rest of the Nanban tribes that he maintained the situation in the Ugo Cave.
Without Ning Xing's 30,000 troops, even if such rumors spread, there was nothing to fear, he believed that with his prestige and more than 3,000 horses in his hands, he could suppress the situation.
But now, he received the 30,000 troops of Ning Xing and others into the cave, and he did not communicate with the marshals of the various departments of the Southern Barbarians, and the troops controlling the city gates on all sides were mainly his descendants......
Cold sweat trickled down, Meng Shu didn't dare to delay any longer, and stood up. Grabbing the iron helmet with one hand, and ordering his own soldiers to put on their armor, he ordered: "Without further ado, too late will change!" A few of you. Immediately follow me to the patrol, no matter how the rumors spread, we can't mess up ourselves! ”
Meng You and all the relatives were taken aback, and only after being glared at by Meng Yu did they react and act.
Taking advantage of Meng Huo's armor, Meng You asked anxiously: "Second brother, are you worried about ......?"
Meng Shu said hurriedly: "The barbarians are very suspicious, they will definitely suspect us, and if they don't do it, they will make trouble!" Ning Xing's few are not of the same heart as us, if the barbarians are chaotic again, this Wuge Cave will definitely not be able to hold it, and they will not be able to break through, and they will be in chaos, you and my brother will really die without a place to be buried! ”
Meng You's heart was beating in horror when he heard this, and a thought that had been suppressed in his heart suddenly jumped out uncontrollably, and he hesitated and said: "Second brother, what the rumors said is not true, and now that the matter has come to this, I'm afraid it ...... Why don't you push the boat down the river and follow the example of all ethnic groups outside the Saiwai ......"
Meng Shu had already walked to the gate of the courtyard, and suddenly froze there, for a long time, before he turned his head to look at his younger brother, with extremely unfamiliar eyes, as if he had suddenly lost his memory.
"Third child, what did you say?" Meng Shu asked in a deep voice, and the haze between his eyebrows was like thick ink.
"Second brother, listen to the younger brother!" The words have been spoken, and Meng You has also been released.
Actually, he had this idea for a long time. Judging from the fact that the eldest brother Meng Jie invested in the Tang Army and developed well, the rumors about Li Yi from the outside world seem to be true.
Especially now that he is at the end of his rope, and seeing that Meng Yu has to make the last struggle, Meng You naturally can't hold it back.
"Now my Nanban has been defeated and lost, and it is difficult to regroup, although there is still the support of Dongwu, but it is also beyond the reach of the whip, a drop in the bucket, I am afraid that the general trend of the world has ......" Meng You said sincerely, "Second brother, I know that I can't do it, my courage is commendable, but it is not the blessing of my Meng family!" And think twice......"
As he was talking, there was a sudden noise outside.
When Meng Shu and the others were stunned, they saw a little school who had been temporarily promoted running in with a blue nose and a swollen face, and while running, he shouted anxiously: "Quick, let me go to see the king." Oh no, no, someone is going to rebel! ”
"Whoever wants to rebel, you make it clear!" Meng Shu stepped forward and grabbed the other party's shoulder and asked loudly.
The newly promoted colonel, who was originally an ordinary brute, rarely could talk to the boss in person, and was pressed by Meng Shu, shocked and frightened, and actually knelt down softly, and said in a trembling voice: "The king, the subordinates are incompetent, and the Songbu Haoshuai of the Shan clan took the lead in making trouble, and wanted to fight out of the hole to surrender to the Tang army." The subordinates didn't stop him, and the subordinates are sorry for the king! ”
"What?" Meng was pushed away from the small school that reported the news, and walked out.
What are you afraid of, the Shan people, as one of the founding countries of the Southern Barbarian tribes, have a high prestige among the barbarians, and from them they have opened an opening for turmoil, and the situation will soon be out of control.
Meng Shu was anxious and angry, he didn't care if the people behind him had time to keep up with him, and he didn't care about arguing with his younger brother, so he jumped on the horse and galloped all the way.
He hates!
Ning Xing and the others must have secretly taken refuge in Li Yi, otherwise this rumor would not have appeared so coincidentally, not to mention expecting them to suppress the barbarians, as long as they are willing to watch from the wall at this time, it is already a great luck.
The most important thing now is to suppress the signs of unrest before more tribes respond to the Shan, otherwise, when the barbarians are involved, even if they are successfully suppressed, it will only push the fate of destruction back a little.
He whipped his mount as hard as he could, and sprinted in the noisiest direction outside. Whoever stands in the way, raising your hand is a whip. After knocking seven or eight people running around one after another, repulsing two guards who tried to dissuade him, and slashing and killing more than a dozen rebels with knives, he finally arrived at the place of the incident.
However, it was already too late.
A raging fire burned near the riot site, illuminating the surrounding streets as bright as daylight. Everywhere you go, shadowy figures are chasing each other and fighting each other. An offensive and defensive battle was being staged at the exit, but the enemy was not coming from outside, and there were no attacking equipment, and the attackers were just climbing up the inner stairs and fighting the defenders.
The cries, the shouts, the cries, the clashing of swords and spears, the release of the bowstring, were mixed with the howls of the dying and the desperate cries of the wounded...... The noise filled the world.
The commotion spread like a spark, and it didn't take much time for all the caves under Ugo Cave to be in chaos, and there were people everywhere, but no one went to put out the fire.
"Li Yi, you are so poisonous!" Meng Huo's eyes were blood-red, and he looked up to the sky and roared sadly.
As Meng You said, the matter has come to this point, even if he has the courage of ten thousand people, there is no way to turn things around.
And to complete all this, Li Yi didn't even use a single soldier.
Meng Huoman had only one thought in his heart, and that was to suppress this chaotic war.
"A certain is the Southern Barbarian King Meng Huo, open his eyes and see clearly, stop Lao Tzu, stop!" Meng Huo swung his knife into a whip, smashed one of his opponents into the air, and roared loudly.
In the past, whether it was his amazing martial arts or his identity as the king of the Southern Barbarians, he had enough deterrent effect. But the people in the chaos have already killed the red eyes, as long as they see people they don't know, they will not die.
As a result of Meng Shu's self-revealing identity, he was caught by two enemies, one left and one right, and attacked with a knife. Enraged, he turned and swept away, breaking the legs of one of his enemies.
Even in his rage, he still kept his hands and only knocked down his opponent without hurting his life.
But his opponent completely ignored his kindness, and the other took the opportunity to approach him, pounced on him, and the sword came straight at his shoulder blade.
"Bastard, bastard! The enemy is outside the cave, are you all crazy? Meng Shu was furious, and his roar was like thunder.
Before he could turn to meet him, he had already fallen to the ground, and the brute with his broken legs suddenly rolled forward twice, his hands clinging to his combat boots.
Meng Shu was furious, and he was also caught off guard for a while, but he was pulled and stumbled, barely falling, but he watched a war knife slash at his face again.
He rode on his horse and yelled, and the brutes around him made him his first target. No matter how high his martial arts are, he will inevitably show flaws under siege.
At this moment, his own soldiers abandoned their opponents and blocked the enemy's swords with their shields. But a spear stretched out from the diagonal stab and stabbed him directly. Blood suddenly sprayed Meng Shu's face, and in a dazzling red, he saw the only remaining pro-soldier falling, and his eyes were full of unwillingness.
"Ahh Meng Huo roared in pain as if his heart had been pierced.
The Meng family's own soldiers are all loyal people, in the battle of Wuliang Mountain, if it weren't for these people who sacrificed their lives to fight, even if his martial arts were ten times higher, he wouldn't want to fight his way out of the encirclement. As a result, these faithful men who survived the disaster escaped the catastrophe and died at the hands of their own families.
With remorse and hatred, Meng Shu picked up the big sword in his hand like a wind, and swept away all the brute soldiers closest to him.
Immediately after, he raised his sword and smashed it into the brute pawn who was pulling out his spear on his own soldier, in a huge whistling sound. He slapped the other party's helmet and head into the cavity at the same time.
