The Wuxi army shouted again, at this moment, not only the Wuxi army was moved, but also the Nanzhongman, who was kneeling on the ground, was also deeply touched, being able to treat the retinue army and the descendant army equally, and what else could he ask for if he fought with such a Han commander.

Originally, the treatment of soldiers in the Sichuan army attracted the barbarians in Nanzhong, but now seeing that Liu Zhang did not completely use the entourage army as a tool, and the heart of surrender was exhausted, these barbarians decided to follow the Sichuan army.

"Husband, I'm sorry."

Liu Zhang left, Xiao Furong followed behind and apologized in a whisper, only thinking that it was because of the Wuxi Army that caused the rupture between the Sichuan Army and Nanzhongman, and because of himself, Liu Zhang did not punish the Wuxi Army, which made Xiao Furong even more guilty.

Huang Yueying smiled and said: "Madame doesn't have to blame herself, the lord's move is not for you, I believe that Madame has been following the lord for a long time, and she also understands that it is not easy for the people of Wuxi to be subdued, compared to the Nanzhong Army that has not been subdued, who is more important?" Hehe. ”

"Alright, Rong'er." Liu Zhang said to Xiao Furong: "It's none of your business or the Wuxi Army, you go and incorporate those Nanzhong barbarian troops as the reserve force of your white pole soldiers." ”

"Well, I will definitely accept it fairly, and I won't cause trouble to my husband."

Xiao Furong means that the Nanzhong Army is now estranged from the Wuxi Army, and she will not have a personal vendetta against the Nanzhong Army because of this.

Liu Zhang nodded, watched Xiao Furong leave, and sighed.

"The lord doesn't have to feel nostalgic, there are gains and losses." Huang Yueying said.

"Is there a gain if there is a loss?" Liu Zhang said as he walked to the tent: "I originally thought that Meng Yao promised to surrender, and the battle between Nanzhong and China could be suspended, but I didn't expect this Meng Yao to ...... Now it seems. This war has to be fought. But keep fighting. We don't have a map of Nanzhong yet, Yueying, to be honest, I'm not sure about this battle at all. ”

If there are other people around him, Liu Zhang will not say "unsure", as the commander-in-chief, he should give confidence to the generals. Only the generals can give the soldiers confidence, but in the face of Huang Yueying, Liu Zhang always feels that Huang Yueying feels very warm, and he can throw her no matter what troubles he has.

Even the most annoying moments feel very relaxed.

Huang Yueying smiled and said: "The lord is not sure, and Yueying is not sure, but the battlefield is changing rapidly, containing countless fighters, and you can't strategize, and you can't wait for changes." Go back and plan again. ”

Liu Zhang smiled and looked at Huang Yueying's relaxed appearance. I seem to be a lot more relaxed.

…………

"You, you, you...... On the contrary to you, Meng Shu, who gave you the right to bring troops to the expedition privately? Now we have returned with a big defeat, now it's okay, not only have we lost our troops, but we have fallen into an unbelieving and unrighteous name, and we must have formed a hatred with the Sichuan army, this mess, how do you tell me to clean it up? ”

In the Nanban camp, Meng Yao was furious, Meng Huo, A Huilan, Meng You, and Zhu Bao stood in the hall and didn't say a word.

Zhu Bao stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Meng Yao: "King, we have fallen into the name of unbelief and injustice, and the reputation of our border people in the wilderness has always been like this in Liu Zhang's eyes?"

What's more, Liu Zhang is not a good bird, Liu Zhang has always killed the enemy, unless he has no strength to kill, just like the original Chengdu wealthy family, when Liu Zhang had no strength, he made a false accusation with them, and when he had the strength, he would kill them all, and now Liu Zhang also dealt with us in the same way in Nanzhong, with ill intentions, the king must not be fooled. ”

"How dare you say it?" Meng Yao was furious: "It's Meng Huo who you picked up, you wealthy families in the four counties don't have any good goods, get out." ”

Zhu Baogan smiled and retreated, his fists clenched tightly.

Meng Shu lowered his head, his face was full of disberence, and Weng said in a thick voice: "Father, the child doesn't understand, why should we be afraid of the Sichuan army, we have 100,000 people, and the Sichuan army is only 70,000, what can he Liu Zhang do to me?" Before the battle was fought, he was afraid, the child was unwilling, and the child was not convinced. ”

"What are you not convinced? You didn't lose enough in yesterday's battle? You brought back less than a hundred of the 3,000 warriors this morning, what else are you going to do? ”

"That's why you have to fight, Father, don't you know? Liu Zhang executed my people with a spear on the spot to threaten other tribesmen to surrender, father, do you know how righteous the barbarian soldiers are now? Liu Zhang did this, if we still surrendered, wouldn't my Nanzhong people lose their prestige and never be able to raise their heads in the future? ”

"I, Meng Shu, would rather die standing than live on my knees. If you want to retire, your father will retreat with his own army, and leave the bloody Nanzhong boy to the child, and the child will fight Liu Zhang to the death. ”

"You, you...... Are you looking for death? ”

"The King's ......"

"Get down."

Zhu Bao was about to step forward, but Meng Yao shouted back, Meng Yu gave Meng You a look, Meng You's eyes rolled, and he stepped forward and said: "Father, you can't say that, how can you say that fighting with the Sichuan army is looking for death?" Didn't my father forget that we are in danger of flooding?

Now is the season of flower defeat, the river is highly poisonous (from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, most of the battle of the Southern Barbarians in this book is based on the romance), as long as we retreat to the south of Lushui, collect the boat, Liu Zhang don't think about it, the Sichuan army expedition, lack of food and grass, will retreat over time, at that time we can enter the four counties, invincible. ”

"Lushui." Meng Yao groaned, and Dong Dana immediately came out and said: "The king can't, although Liu Zhang is brutal, he is not a person who is untrustworthy, the Sichuan army is strong, we should value peace, if the Sichuan army retreats to attack the four counties, the rift will never be bridged."

"Dong Dana, you coward." Meng was furious.

"Okay, let me think about it." Meng Yao stroked his forehead and thought for a while, "Retreat to the south of Lushui, watch the time and wait for changes, this does not go against our original intention of striking the army, if the Sichuan army really retreats, we can take advantage of the situation, well, Lushui is poisonous, this move is perfect, okay, it will be dealt with like this for the time being." ”

Dong Dana: "The king can't."

"The father (the king) is wise." Meng Huo, Meng You, Ah Hui, and Zhu Bao bowed down in unison.

………………

"Report, the barbarian army retreated to the south of Lushui and camped in a straight line with water."

The soldiers came to report, and Huang Yueying said to Liu Zhang: "Lord, it seems that the barbarian army is going to wait for us to run out of food and grass and withdraw our troops automatically." ”

"Meng Yao is really the opposite, Yueying, what is your opinion?"

"No opinion, only fighting."

Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying took the generals of the Sichuan army to Lushui to check the barbarian army camp opposite, only to see that the Lushui was clear, the falling flowers floated on the water surface and went down the river, and the barbarian army camp on the opposite side was lined up in a line, stretching for several miles.

Huang Yueying inspected the waterfront, looked at the barbarian army camp and said: "The barbarian army is so bold, there is no sentry in the upstream and downstream Shazhu, why is Meng Yao so fearless, I think there must be something strange." ”

At this time, a soldier came to report: "Report to the lord, the military division, we sent soldiers to make a raft to try to cross the river, but the raft actually sank directly, and the soldiers fell into the river water that was not waist-high, and their whole bodies festered and died." ”

Liu Zhang's expression twisted, "I heard that there are many poisonous springs and poisonous rivers in Nanzhong, and this river is also one of them?" "Zhuge Liang's battle in Nanzhong Liu Zhang doesn't remember carefully, anyway, it is poisonous all the way, what poisonous rivers and poisonous springs are everywhere, and I guess that Lushui is too.

"It's not terrible to be poisonous, find a local local person to ask, Lushui is close to the four counties, and I still know a little about our new policy, and I have a good impression of us, so I should be able to ask, but my subordinates are thinking, to what extent this battle should be fought, and please publicize it."

"How about repulsion? How about a heavy blow? ”

"It's easy to repel and it's easy to hit hard, with such a large battalion arrangement as the barbarian army, as long as we smuggle across Lushui, we can only be beaten passively, even if we want to throw all 100,000 people of Meng Yao into Lushui, Yueying can do it.

It's just that in this way, the southern barbarians are afraid that they will never be at peace, and the repulsion, the barbarian army retreats to the south and camps, we still face the same problem, Liwei does not make enemies, and there is no map, the deeper you go into the barren land, the more difficult it is.

Yueying's idea was that if it was to be repulsed, we would find the natives to draw a sketch, enter it, and capture seven verticals, I don't believe that the brains of Meng Yao and the main battle faction of the Nanban are all iron bumps.

It's just that the Nanban is not as good as the Western Qiang, and the Qiang village map of the grassland is much simpler than the cave map of the jungle, and even if there is a map, the jungle is poor and the mountains and rivers are bad, and our army cannot gallop like the grassland.

If we suffer a heavy blow, we will be able to fight the Nanban for several years and not be able to turn over, and at the same time we will form a great enemy, we will win over the forces in the Nanban, move them along the Silk Road, give them benefits, and let them resist the barbarian armies of other tribes.

It's just that Nanban is different from Wuxi Man and Xiqiang, Wuxi Man we have a friendly Youxi tribe, Xiqiang we have a friendly Tsing Yi Qiang, Nanban we don't know at all, it's really difficult to grasp, if you want to win over and immigrate, it will take at least a few years, and the opening of the Silk Road is a big problem. ”

Liu Zhang looked at the magnificent barbarian camp opposite, and sighed: "Okay, go back and think about it first, and when you decide, you will clean up this group of barbarians." ”

Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying returned to the camp and discussed for a night, analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of the two strategies from the aspects of the Silk Road, people's hearts, time, grain and grass, and finally it was difficult to make a decision, but both of them were more inclined to hit hard.

Repelled, there was no chance of victory in one percent, and it was purely a joke about the lives of 70,000 Sichuan soldiers.

It's just that a heavy blow is equivalent to giving up the Silk Road, and Liu Zhang is unwilling to pay so much for the Silk Road.

"The lord doesn't have to be reluctant, when we occupy Xiliang in the future and open up the Yumen Pass, we will be able to pass through the Western Regions, trade with the Yueshi Kingdom and the Great Qin Kingdom, what Luo Yue, poison, let him go."

The two finally decided to hit the Southern Barbarian Army hard, and asked the natives, Lushui is a natural weak water, boats can't work, and it is really poisonous, because the upstream petals settle into the water, the heat is steaming, and it is naturally poisonous.

But just wait until the second half of the night, before dawn, when the toxicity is minimal, and you can wade through the water.

Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying decided to sneak in the middle of the night, immediately convened the generals to discuss the matter, issued a sneak attack order, and ordered to cross the river, listen to the orders of the military division, do not take prisoners, only kill people, how many can be killed, Wuxi Army and Sichuan Army are all gearing up, just waiting for the big battle.

The soldiers assembled, there was no noise, Liu Zhang was about to get the sword on the wall, suddenly a soldier came in and said: "Lord, businessman Yin Bai has come to visit, saying that there is a big matter to discuss, whether to meet." (To be continued.) )
