Zhang Ren is silent, but he is not ambiguous, although in his words, he opposes Yuan Shang looking for Meng Huo as an ally, but Yuan Shang appreciates Meng Shu's name in his heart, so he still insists on seeing Meng Huo, Zhang Ren does not dissuade him, and helps Yuan Shang take over this errand.

Zhang Ren is known as the first general in Xichuan, and he supports Liu Zhang to run into Nanzhong to avoid trouble, all of which refer to him alone, limited to the limited ability of other Sichuan generals who follow Liu Zhang, so Zhang Yi is in charge of wars or peace affairs of various foreign ethnic groups, so it is not difficult for him to contact Meng Shu.

Yuan Shang only waited for a day, and Liu Xun sent someone to send news that Meng Shu had promised to meet Yuan Shang in private, and the location was to meet at the lake not far from the place where the people of Wulin were stationed.

…………

…………

On the edge of the reeds more than half a man's height on the shore of the lake, two teams of people and horses came here to meet after quietly moving.

A waterfowl that had been hovering in mid-air for a long time, after flying high and low for a long time, suddenly swooped down towards the surface of the lake, and in an instant, accurately and quickly picked up a white fish from the water, and then wanted to flapp its wings and leave......

However, from the shore of the lake, suddenly a cold arrow shot out of thin air, and shot at the body of the water bird with great precision, but seeing that the water bird flickered, it swayed its wings with great effort, and finally could not bear the pain, fell from mid-air, fell into the lake, was swept by the surging waves, and disappeared in the middle of the lake in half an hour, along with the fish in its mouth, and disappeared.

On the shore of the lake, I saw a young strong man with his hair sprinkled, a tiger skin skirt around his waist, and a bone cone chain around his neck, laughing, and said: "It's a pity that this good bird and a big fish, I wanted to use them tonight to satisfy my hunger, and I didn't want to fall to the bottom of the lake with my mother's damn heart, it's really unlucky!" ”

Yuan Shang and the others waited for the arrival of the group. That's what you see.

Seeing Yuan Shang and the others arriving, Meng You, Meng Shu's brother, immediately whispered to Meng Shu: "Second brother, Yuan Shang's kid is here!" ”

Meng Shu turned his head, looked at Yuan Shang and the others who arrived at the lake, and said in a rough and loud voice: "The turtle son's big shelf, it took a long time to come, and it actually made this king wait for a long time, let him roll over!" ”

Behind Yuan Shang, the group of people who followed him were immediately furious when they heard this, thinking that Yuan Shang was the overlord of the north. The official worships the great Sima general Wu Pinghou, the first prince in the world, Meng Huo, the king of the border tribes, how dare he be so disrespectful in his words?

Deng Chang, who came with Yuan Shang, snorted and said, "Meng Shu, my lord is a dignified and important minister of the imperial court, how dare you be so rude!" ”

Meng Shu glanced at Deng Chang, smiled, and said, "Ge Laozi is a big scene from the north. There are a lot of, this king is this temper, don't be surprised! ”

Yuan Shang didn't speak, and walked in front of Meng Shu and the others. looked up and down at this barbarian king who dared to argue with Zhuge Liang in the future and shocked the south.

But although he looks majestic, he is very young, and he is wearing the unique native costumes of Nanzhong, and his hair is not tied up. It was so casually scattered on the shoulders, integrated with the thick eyebrows, and the blood-red color in a pair of copper bell-like eyes. It's scary.

Just by looking at the face, Yuan Shang knew why Zhang Ren did not agree to unite with Meng Shu.

Although Meng Shu is rough on the surface, Yuan Shang has seen many characters over the years. Just by looking at his face, he can see that this person is by no means a good type, and his appearance is rough and arrogant, but in the depths of his blood-red eyes, there is a terrifying ruthlessness and murderous motive.

Yuan Shang looked at Meng Shu, Meng Shu was also looking at Yuan Shang, and after a while, he saw this barbarian king laughing and said: "Turtle son, I have long heard that the great Sima General Yuan Shang is the number one person in Middle Earth, I don't want to be so young, but it's his mother's strangeness, are you the fucking deity?." ”

Meng Shu said obscenities, and the crowd behind Yuan Shang was furious, but Yuan Shang smiled slightly, imitating Meng Shu's words and said.

"What the turtle son said is right, I am Yuan Shang."

Meng Shu was stunned when he heard this, pondered Yuan Shang's words carefully, and then became furious!

"This bastard imitates this king to take advantage of me, and it is really hateful!"

Yuan Shang ignored Meng Shu's annoyed look, and said with a smile: "King Meng, Yuan came with sincerity today, and wanted to talk to the king about a deal, if the king didn't want to cooperate with Yuan, just refuse to meet, why bother to run Yuan as soon as they met, do you want to give me a fight?" Don't hide it from the king, Yuan is not frightened. ”

Meng Huo smiled and said: "What the general said, who this king will give you a horse, and I don't dare to give you a horse, it's just that the general is famous and powerful in the world, this king sees that you have no bottom in your heart, so he naturally says a few foul words, and is strong and courageous!" ”

Yuan Shang sighed secretly in his heart, this Meng Shu was rude in his mouth, but he had a number in his heart, but he was actually a master who was thick on the outside and fine on the inside.

"King Meng, let's open the skylight and say bright words, you and I came this time in the original way, all for the sake of recruiting relatives, originally for the opponent, there is no way to say that there is a combination, but this time Ulin recruits relatives, the king should also see it, including your kings in the south, I am afraid that there are no less than hundreds of people who take the exam, and they are all handsome and capable people in the world, it is not easy to deal with, the king should understand that under this kind of shape, his own test has been a subordinate policy, and he needs to connect with allies, make friends and attack closely, support each other in recruiting relatives, and become a horn to be able to decide!"

Meng Shu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said with a smile: "General Yuan, this is to cooperate with this king?" ”

Yuan Shang nodded and said, "Don't hide it from the king, among the kings in Nanzhong, the only one who can make Yuan look at it is King Meng." ”

When Meng heard this, he looked up to the sky and laughed, startling a large group of water birds in the water grass, but he was too lazy to pull the bow and shoot arrows at this time, just hesitantly happy, and said: "Thanks to the general, this king is grateful, but unfortunately the general is a step late, this king already has allies, I really can't be cheeky and make friends with you, so this king has become a fucking traitor!" ”

When Yuan Shang heard this, he frowned and said, "What does the king mean?" ”

Meng Shu said with a smile: "Dissatisfied with General Yuan, when the king was in Nanzhong, he formed a bloody alliance with Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang in Shuzhong, and advanced and retreated together with the tribulation. ”

Yuan Shang frowned when he heard this. Dark Dao Zhuge Liang started quickly, as early as in Shuzhong, he had already laid down his backhand!

Thinking of this, he said again: "In that case, why did King Meng still come here at my invitation? ”

Meng Shu smiled and said: "I just want to see if what Zhuge Liang said is accurate, long before he set off to come here, Zhuge Liang sent a letter to this king to say that General Yuan is thoughtful and the best at sowing discord." He will definitely send someone to win over this king, so that this king will not fall for your evil! This king is here today, just to see if Zhuge Liang said on time...... The turtle son's, he really let him be fooled! ”

Yuan Shang took a deep breath, pressed the anger in his heart, and said, "King Meng, although you and Liu Bei already have an alliance, I still want to remind you that when it comes to power and strength. Liu Bei Zhuge Liang is far inferior to me, King Meng should think about his clansmen if he doesn't think about himself, he really wants to offend my Yuan family for Liu Bei, a down-and-out clan relative in a corner of peace? ”

Meng Huo smiled. Said: "Zhuge Liang also sent someone to tell this king that he had analyzed it, and he said that although your General Yuan is powerful, he borders on me, but Liu Bei is the real king of Shuzhong." If you rebel against this king and unite with me, this king will help you with thirteen tricks. In the end, I went back and forth to Nanzhong, but offended Liu Bei, when the soldiers in Shuzhong pressed the border, the king had to be the enemy of Liu Bei, and then the barbarian kings of other tribes in Nanzhong also took the opportunity to make waves, one was more anxious than the king's life, all of which I fought with the kings of Nanzhong and Liu Bei to die together, but in the end you sent troops from the north, and you cleaned up the southwest half of the country in one fell swoop...... Turtle son's! Fucking this plan is perfect, which bastard helped you come up with it? ”

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows and said, "In this way, it is not appropriate for me to negotiate this deal with King Meng." ”

Meng Shu shook his head and said: "General Yuan, although this king is arrogant, he also knows how many catties he has, and I am afraid that I will have to let you chew even the bones and slag in the end, this king is timid!" ”

Yuan Shang nodded and said, "Since King Meng is unwilling to accept Yuan's kindness, then I will leave first." ”

With that, he led a group of elites to turn around and leave. Although Meng Shu rejected Yuan Shang's alliance, he didn't dare to leave Yuan Shang rashly, after all, the strength was there.

While walking, Yuan Shang said to Sima Yi beside him: "What do you think of Meng Huo?" ”

Sima Yi shook his head and said: "Zhang Ren is right, this person can't be united with him, he is a hungry wolf, he is now refusing us to unite with Liu Bei, it is just an expedient measure, as I expected, in a few years, he may not be willing to stay under Liu Bei honestly." ”

Yuan Shang nodded and said, "You and I see the same, I originally wanted to form an alliance with this person, but it seems that it will not be...... By the way, who is the other barbarian king that Zhang Ren recommended for us last time? ”

Sima Yi touched his beard when he heard this, and said, "It seems to be some kind of Zhu Jiao of the Fire God Cave." ”

Yuan Shang sighed when he heard this: "Then retreat and see this King Zhu again." ”

………………

………………

Yuan Shang hit a nail in Meng Shu, and in desperation, he responded to Zhang Ren's recommendation and met with Zhu Jiao, the cave master of the Vulcan Cave.

According to Zhang Ren's introduction, this Zhu Jiao claims to be a descendant of the fire god Zhu Rong, and his strength cannot be underestimated in Nanzhong, unlike Meng Huo, Meng Huo is a rising star in Nanzhong, and this Zhu Jiao is over sixty years old, a real old barbarian king, with a high reputation in Nanzhong, which is not as good as the average barbarian king, which is also a reason why Zhang Ren recommended him.

Meeting with Zhu Jiao, Yuan Shang found that this was indeed an old barbarian king, although he was also dressed in a foreign costume, but his figure was obviously shrunken because of his age, this old man had gray hair and was thin, but his complexion looked very kind, compared to Meng Shu, he was a little less obedient and arrogant, and more than a little old.

"Zhu Jiao of the Vulcan Clan, I have seen the Great Sima General." Without the arrogance of being a barbarian king, Zhu Jiao's attitude towards Yuan Shang was humble.

Yuan Shang hurriedly said: "In a hurry, please wish the cave master to meet, and if you are disrespectful, please also ask Haihan." ”

The two politely said a few words to each other, and then put the conversation on the topic, Zhu Jiao is a lot older, this time, it is naturally impossible to compete with each other, but it is to press the treasure on his youngest son Zhu Brought.

After listening to Yuan Shang's invitation to be the builder of the alliance, Zhu Jiao closed his eyes and began to weigh the pros and cons.

To tell the truth, forming an alliance with Yuan Shang is not Zhu Jiaolong's wish, although Yuan Shang has a huge power, but after all, he is far away in the north, and he can't interfere in the affairs of Nanzhong, among the current Han people, who can play a deterrent role in Nanzhong, it is naturally Liu Bei who sits firmly in Xichuan!

It's a pity that Liu Bei thinks he is uniting with Meng Huo at the moment, according to Zhu Jiao's idea, Liu Bei obviously wants to support a representative in Nanzhong, and if this person is not unexpected, there is a chance that Meng Huo will be Meng Huo.

With Meng Shu's ambition and ability, coupled with Liu Bei's help, the clans of Nanzhong are afraid that they will sink and fall under this person in the future.

Zhu Jiao is old, and the Vulcan Cave has been passed down for several generations, if he wants to let it out like this, the old man is absolutely reluctant.

Therefore, Zhang Ren invited him to see Yuan Shang, and Zhu Jiao also wanted to take this opportunity to get a strong reinforcement, but this strong reinforcement was inevitably a little too far, because he offended Liu Bei, and Zhu Jiao's heart was bottomless......

Yuan Shang is such a human spirit, he seems to see Zhu Jiao's hesitation, and then said: "Zhu Dong Master, this competition to recruit relatives, I want to give you an ally, not just this overnight thing, to be honest, I also want to keep friends with you, in the future, one south and one north, advance and retreat together, I know that your current shape in the south is not good, Liu Bei is in Shuzhong, I want to support Meng Huo, and I have seen this person before, he is really a wolf ambition, if he really makes him full-fledged, I am afraid of the foundation of your Vulcan Cave for several generations, It's going to have to be smashed in your old hands...... The matter of Nanzhong, now is the season of crisis, and I ask you to think more about it for the future. ”

Zhu Jiao sighed and said: "What the general said, this king also knows, but although the general is strong, after all, it is too far away from Nanzhong, once something happens, I am afraid that far water will not quench the thirst of the near......"

Yuan Shang shook his head and said: "To tell you the truth, my next goal is to be placed by Liu Bei in Guan Yu, an important town in Jingzhou, and Dongwu has also coveted this place for a long time, as long as I can win Sun Shangxiang's relatives, I have 120,000 confidence to take Jingzhou, and then my power can use Jingzhou to border Nanzhong, and I will not be unable to help Zhu Dongzhu!" ”

Zhu Jiao was stunned when he heard this, looked at Yuan Shang with understanding, and said in a low voice: "What the general said is true? ”

Yuan Shang smiled slightly, and said: "In order to show my sincerity, I plan to deal with Meng Shu tonight, one is to show my alliance with the cave master, the second is to show you my means, and the third is also to recruit relatives to remove a big disaster, I don't know what the cave master thinks?" ”

"............" (To be continued......)
