Obviously, in the past two days, Lu Kai has put a lot of effort into this defense map, not only marking the location and strength of each camp, but also the surrounding environment, where there are woods and rivers, are clearly marked. If what he said is correct, relying on this map alone, or attacking with fire, or flooding, or robbing the camp, as long as it is properly dispatched, these 200,000 troops can be wiped out in the blink of an eye.

Of course, with Liu Xin's current military talent, it is impossible to think about it so thoroughly, but as long as he hands over this defense map to Guo Jia and Zhao Yun, he doesn't need to use his brains at all, and everything will be arranged in an orderly manner.

Liu Xin subconsciously turned her head and glanced at Zhu Rong, only to see her eyebrows tightly locked and her face full of worry. In the past two days of getting along, Liu Xin and her can be said to have the same heart, so she naturally understood what she was worried about, so she couldn't help but shake her hand, patted it lightly, and turned to Lu Kai and said, "Lord Lu, Liu believes in your sincerity." In this way, after the war in Nanzhong subsides, you can choose one of these four counties to serve as the taishou, and if you don't want to stay in Nanzhong, you can also go to Xiangyang or Chengdu to take up your post. However, from now on, you will only be in charge of the people and not the army, and you will have to think clearly about how to choose. ”

Lu Kaiyuan was only counting on being able to keep the position of Jianning Taishou, and he had no extravagant hope of continuing to be in charge of the army, but when he heard Liu Xin's words, he was overjoyed, and immediately bowed to the ground, and kowtowed again and again: "The subordinates are willing to swear to die to serve the lord, but if there is a sending, it is all according to the lord's orders, and the subordinates dare not pick the fat and the thin." ”

"What a pick and choose!" Liu Xin laughed, raised his hand and said, "Lu Kai, please get up." This defense picture is well drawn, leave it here for now, and I'll take care of it. Go back while the night is falling, lest you arouse their suspicions. Remember, no matter what happens, you must restrain your people, try to stay still, and protecting yourself first is the most important thing, I don't want to see any accidents happen to you and your people. ”

Lu Kai didn't expect Liu Xin to think about his safety first, and he was grateful, stood up and said, "My subordinates still have something to report." There is a member of the South Central Alliance Army named Mulu, who claims to have another strange army, which is approaching soon. Although the subordinates don't know what kind of strange soldier it is, the lord must be on guard. ”

"Mulu?" Liu Xin pondered for a moment, remembering that he was the old master of Hou Qinu, and already had a plan in his heart, and said with a smile, "If my expectations are right, his so-called strange soldiers are just jackals, tigers and leopards, and the like, I have my own way to deal with it, you don't need to worry." If they come again, you can stay sick and defend your camp to avoid being injured by mistake. ”

Liu Xin was secretly amused, those tigers, leopards and jackals in Mulu's hands were all adopted and domesticated by Hou Qinu for him, and he is now the master of Hou Qinu, do you still need to be afraid?

Although Lu Kai was skeptical of Liu Xin's words, he was really moved when he saw that Liu Xin thought about his people first, and gradually understood that Liu Xin could have today's achievements, but it was not all about luck.

Liu Xin saw that Lu Kai had answered a promise and was about to retire, when he suddenly stopped him, pointed at Zhu Rong, and said, "Lu Kai, do you know who she is?" ”

When Lu Kai first entered the big tent, he estimated that this woman had a close relationship with Liu Xin, and there were some intimate actions from time to time, so he didn't dare to look at her, and now when he heard Liu Xin's inquiry, he shook his head blankly and said, "My subordinates don't know." ”

Zhu Rong also looked at Liu Xin puzzled, unsure what he was going to ask Lu Kai. But I heard Liu Xin say: "Lu Kai, she is the eldest daughter of the barbarian Zhu family, and she is also the descendant of the barbarian patron god Huoshen. Now, she has another identity, which is Liu's sixth wife. ”

Lu Kai was shocked, he had served in Nanzhong for many years, and he naturally knew something about the situation of the barbarians, and he had also heard some legends about Zhu Rong, if even she was on Liu Xin's side, then what else was there to fight in this battle, Liu Dan and Meng Shu would definitely lose. This is not the most surprising to Lu Kai, what really surprised him was that Liu Xin actually married Zhu Rong. You must know that in that era, the Han people paid attention to orthodoxy, and few people would marry a woman of different races unless they were extremely poor. There are several beautiful barbarian women in Lu Kai's family, no matter how beautiful, gentle, and capable these women are, Lu Kai will only treat them as dolls, but will not accept them as wives and concubines. Judging from the fact that Liu Xin married Zhu Rong, Liu Xin was already determined to win Nanzhong, and Lu Kai couldn't help but secretly congratulate himself on his wise choice.

Liu Xin didn't know what he was thinking, and continued: "Lu Kai, when you go back this time, you can knock on the side to find out what the other county guards and various clan chiefs mean, and you might as well reveal the matter of the descendants of the Fire God." After all, human life is at stake, and Liu is unwilling to make a big move unless it is absolutely necessary, but if anyone is obsessed, Liu will never be soft! ”

When Lu Kai withdrew from the big tent, he found himself in a cold sweat. In fact, Liu Xin has always spoken to him relatively gently, but when he said the last sentence, the sharp eyes made him shudder a little. Although he already felt that Liu Xin was not as simple as it appeared on the surface, Lu Kai was still firm in his choice. Not to mention anything else, just because he braved the rain tonight, he knew that the Nanzhong Coalition Army was definitely not the opponent of the Han Army. This autumn rain is not too big, but it is just a little annoying, there are not many soldiers patrolling around the camp of the South Central Alliance, but there is no slackening in the open and dark posts and patrols of the Han army's camp.

Although the nominal leader of the South China Alliance Army is Liu Dan, Liu Xin did not take him seriously, and it was Meng Huo who really attracted Liu Xin's attention.

From the casual conversation with Zhu Rong, Liu Xin could see that Meng Shu was not just a rough and reckless guy as he appeared. Compared with the simple Zhu Rong, Meng Shu is still quite scheming. He has deliberately approached Zhu Rong since he was a child, if it weren't for Liu Xin's sideways insertion three years ago, he would have hugged the beauty a long time ago. If Zhu Rong marries Meng Shu, then with the strength of the Zhu and Meng families and Zhu Rong's prestige among the barbarians, Meng Shu can naturally become the lord of the barbarians.

Liu Xin turned her head to look at Zhu Rong, and saw that the melancholy on her face had been replaced by joy, and couldn't help but quip: "What, aren't you worried that I will wipe out your people with this defense map?" When the time comes, your childhood sweetheart Meng Shu will definitely not be able to run away. ”

"Hmph, who's his childhood sweetheart!" Zhu Rong glanced at him angrily, and suddenly smiled, "Oh, I understand. I've heard the ladies say, 'What is this called?' Yes, jealous! You must be jealous. Gege ......"

Liu Xin didn't expect her bend to turn to her head, her old face turned red, and she said angrily: "Who is jealous." To tell you the truth, I'm going to hand over this defense map to Fengxiao and Zilong, so that they can study it well. ”

"Ahh The smile on Zhu Rong's face disappeared instantly, he grabbed Liu Xin's arm tightly, shook it non-stop, and begged repeatedly: "Brother, you promised me, you can't be so cruel to my people." ”

Liu Xin laughed and said, "Whoever asked you to say that I was jealous, then I would take a big sip of vinegar." Ah, ah, murdered my husband......"

Before he finished his words, Zhu Rong's pink fist had already rained down on him.

Of course, Liu Xin can't kill the Nanzhong Coalition Army, he wants to take all the four counties of Nanzhong into his own territory, but this place will also need someone to build it in the future, and he doesn't want to get a deserted vacant land. In recent years, due to road congestion, Zhu Rong doesn't know much about the situation in the four counties of Nanzhong. But as the eldest daughter of the Zhu family, she has been to the barbarian tribe of Nanzhong many times in the past, at least she is still clear about the situation in Nanzhong three years ago.

In addition, in the early stage, Fu Zhu also sent people to understand some information, and on the whole, Liu Xin can conclude that the population of the entire four counties in Nanzhong is only about one million, and most of them are barbarians. The congestion of the roads in recent years may not have much impact on Han officials and barbarian patriarchs, but for ordinary people, whether barbarians or Han Chinese, life will certainly become more difficult, and population growth will be slower, and even negative growth is not impossible. That is to say, the 200,000 troops in the coalition camp on the opposite side almost concentrated the young and strong men of the entire four counties in the south and central counties.

In this case, even if there was no plea from Zhu Rong, the heir of the barbarian patron saint, Liu Xin would not have been able to massacre the Nanzhong coalition army, otherwise, even if he took the four counties of Nanzhong, there would only be old and weak women and children left, and the population would grow even more slowly. Without enough labor, it will be quite difficult for the four counties in Nanzhong to develop again, and it may drag down the entire Han Dynasty. Of course, Liu Xin also had the option to forcibly relocate people from other places to the four counties in Nanzhong to increase the population there. It's just that if he really does this, he will lose the support of a large number of people, lose the hearts of the people, and he will lose the foundation for fighting for the world, so it is impossible for Liu Xin to do this.

However, Liu Xin is not ready to wipe out the entire South Central Coalition Army, which does not mean that the defense map sent by Lu Kai is really useless, Liu Xin is still ready to hand over this map to Guo Jia and Zhao Yun. Because Liu Xin has already made up his mind, he will resolutely crack down on some diehards in the Yugoslav-Chinese coalition army. For example, Meng Huo, Liu Xin does not intend to let him go, and even the entire Meng family, Liu Xin has to divide him into several small tribes, or simply let the Meng family be removed from the barbarian tribes. It's not a difficult thing to do. The Meng family gathered 30,000 young and strong men to come here, as long as they were eliminated, and then the remaining old and weak women and children of the Meng family were divided into other tribes, and there would be no Meng family again.

"Brother, in fact, people know that you will not kill my people." Zhu Rong saw that Liu Xin didn't dodge under his beating, but just silently distracted, and couldn't help but stop his hand and shake Liu Xin's shoulder.

Liu Xin pinched her elastic waist and asked with a smile, "Oh, I want to hear how you know that I won't be ruthless." ”

Zhu Rong made a fist just now, thinking that he was also a little tired, so he naturally snuggled into Liu Xin's arms, flashed those big eyes, and said: "You just told Lu Kai my identity, and you want to use this to subdue my people and minimize their casualties." Hehe, in this way, you broke your promise again, but you said you wouldn't use me. ”

After a pause, Zhu Rong said shyly: "However, people are willing to be used by you." ”
