Chapter 1367: He Will Definitely Run
When Meng returned to his residence, he found that the Han troops stationed at his residence had all been withdrawn, leaving only a few servants and servants in charge of his daily life.
Seeing that the soldiers of the Han army had withdrawn, a strange smile appeared on the corner of Meng Shu's mouth, and he went straight back to the backyard and went into his bedroom.
In the Chengdu government mansion, Xu Shu, who had just sent Meng Huo away, stood by the small pond in the backyard, holding a handful of cooked corn in his palm, and from time to time twisted a small handful of corn, threw it into the pond, and fed a few fish in the pond.
Standing behind Xu Shu was Xu Huang, who escorted Meng Shu from the Nanban battlefield to Chengdu.
Looking at Xu Shu, who was full of leisure and still feeding the fish, Xu Huang clasped his fists and said: "Prime Minister, evacuate the soldiers who are guarding Meng Huo, what should you do if Meng Shu flees from Chengdu?" ”
"General Xu doesn't think that Meng Shu will flee from Chengdu?" Turning his head and smiling at Xu Huang, Xu Shu said: "What I want is for him to leave Chengdu!" ”
"Didn't the prime minister say ...... earlier" Hearing that Xu Shu said that what he wanted was for Meng Shu to escape from Chengdu, Xu Huang was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes twice, and said with a blank face: "Do you want to wait for the Southern Barbarians to rise up, and then put Meng Shu back?" ”
"Meng Huo has been living in Chengdu for a few days, can General Xu find that he has the slightest remorse?" Turning around again to feed the fish in the pond, Xu Shu asked Xu Huang unhurriedly.
When he asked this, Xu Huang was stunned for a moment.
After thinking carefully about the days since Meng Shu came to Chengdu, Xu Huang really found that the Southern Barbarian King had no remorse.
"If you have no remorse, kill him!" Frowning, Xu Huang said to Xu Shu: "Put him back and lead the Southern Barbarian soldiers and horses to fight our army again, and our army will definitely lose more soldiers!" ”
"If you don't release Meng Huo, the loss of soldiers will be several times more than if you put him back!" Feeding the fish, Xu Shu's face became solemn, and he said to Xu Huang: "General Zhuge led the soldiers and horses into the Southern Barbarian Land, and before he could fight with the barbarian army, he lost many soldiers. The southern barbarian territory has complex terrain, if our army can't do it, even if it kills more barbarians, it will be difficult to conquer it! ”
Xu Huang still didn't quite understand what was directly related to the Southern Barbarians and letting Meng Shu go, but he didn't ask, just stood behind Xu Shu and didn't say anything for a while.
"Leaving Meng Shu in Chengdu made him feel depressed, and he just wanted to return to Nanban!" Without looking back, Xu Shu said to Xu Huang while feeding the fish: "The strategy adopted by the barbarian army against our army is to confront each other, and in the long run, our army will not have an advantage. Meng Shu returned to the Southern Barbarians, and he must be eager to take revenge, once the barbarian army moved, General Zhuge would take advantage of it. If you capture Meng again ......"
Having said this, Xu Shu said to Xu Huang: "The general can arrange to assist Meng Huo to escape from Chengdu, and wait until he really escapes from the city, pretending to lead the troops to chase, let him escape in a hurry, and the wolf who escapes will be chilled when he thinks of the day of escaping Chengdu in the future, and the next time he is captured, it will be the day when we will punish the Southern Barbarians!" ”
"The last general knows!" Holding his fists, Xu Huang responded, turned around and walked towards the front yard.
Meng Shu, who returned to his residence, got into the bedroom and never went out again.
But he always stood at the window, looking out.
Except for the occasional one or two servants and servants, I really didn't see any trace of the Han army.
Meng Shu wanted to escape from Chengdu as soon as possible, but he was worried that Xu Shu would stay behind, so he finally decided to go to the market to see if there were any Han troops who were following him, and then make a decision.
After making a decision in his heart, Meng Shu raised his feet and walked towards the door.
He was about to leave the backyard when he saw a servant walking towards him.
"Where is the king going?" When Meng Shu approached, the servant bowed to him and asked very cautiously.
"The prime minister is already walking around the city, do you have to take care of something?" Glaring at the servant, Meng Xu asked coldly.
"Don't dare! The villain doesn't dare! Maintaining a posture of clenching his fists and bowing, the servants gave way to Meng Huo.
With a cold snort, Meng Shu shook his arm and strode towards the front door.
Outside the main gate, there were no soldiers of the Han army like the one who had been there a few days ago, and there was not even a guard on either side of the door, which made Meng Shu feel a little uncomfortable.
Looking around, he felt that no one was following, so he walked out onto the street.
On the street, Meng Shu's footsteps were not very fast, and while walking along the bluestone road, he looked at the shops on both sides.
In the early years, under the management of Liu Zhang, Chengdu was also a relatively prosperous place, after the Han army was stationed, the business environment here was relaxed a lot, merchants from all over the country saw that it was profitable, but also flocked to it, and the shops on both sides of the road, buying local specialties, abounded.
The Nanban people, living around the primeval jungle all the year round, the roads are not smooth, only occasionally there will be some merchants who buy the special products of the Nanban will go to trade with the barbarians, not only the business is not developed, even the agriculture and animal husbandry are also very backward.
As the king of the Southern Barbarians, in order to make the barbarians live more comfortably, Meng Shu would often mobilize the barbarians to enter Yizhou and loot the wealth of the Han people.
But he didn't expect that this robbery of the Han people would be the result of the Han army driving straight into the barbarian realm all the way.
What made him feel even more humiliated was that in the fight with the Han people, he was captured by the Han army and sent to Chengdu, and he also worked as a prisoner in Chengdu for a long time.
As he was walking along the street, Meng Huo saw a group of Han troops coming towards him.
The number of Han soldiers who came over was not very large, only more than a dozen.
They were in a neat formation, and the pace of their feet stepping on the ground when they walked was exactly the same, if it weren't for the fact that there were a lot of pedestrians in the market and the sound was very noisy, Meng Shu had no doubt that these Han soldiers must have been very neat when they walked.
Walking past Meng Huo, the soldiers of the Han army didn't even look at him, and went straight to the end of the street.
When he was captured by the Han army, Meng Huo was wearing the animal skin he wore in Nanban, and when he arrived in Chengdu, he could only wear the clothes of the Han people because there was no animal skin for him to change.
Walking on the street, in addition to his face, you can see that he is not Han, if you look at him from behind, at most you will feel that he is a relatively stocky and short person.
As he walked down the street, Meng Huo's eyes glanced around.
The pedestrians on the street obviously didn't notice the Southern Barbarian King.
Between the Southern Barbarians and the Yizhou people, it can be said that there is a lot of Liangzi, if people know his identity as the king of the Southern Barbarians, I am afraid that there is no need for the Han army to do it, even the people in the market can kill him alive.
Knowing this truth in his heart, Meng got out of the house, and he was relatively low-key all the way, and did not go into the shops on the street or talk to vendors and pedestrians.
His eyes glanced around, just to see if there were any Han troops watching him nearby.
After observing for a while, Meng Shu didn't find that anyone was deliberately staring at him, and he was a little bolder, raised his face a little, and swaggered towards the city gate.
When he entered Chengdu, Meng Huo was imprisoned in a prison car, but fortunately, he lived in Nanban, and often entered the rainforest, so he developed a good ability to remember the road.
Although the road to the city gate was only walked once, Meng Shu clearly remembered every street he had walked through.
In the city of Chengdu, there were many pedestrians on the road, and Meng Huo was relatively short, so he got into the crowd and soon disappeared into the crowd.
He disappeared into the crowd, and in a building in the market, Xu Huang, who was standing at the window of the house, put his hands behind his back and said to a Han soldier standing behind: "You go to the city gate, inform the city gate guards, and don't stop Meng Huo when he sees him leaving the city!" ”
"No!" With a fist in response, the soldier exited the room.
Standing at the window, Xu Huang put his hands behind his back, looking at the crowd on the street, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Xu Shu expected that Meng Shu would leave Chengdu and would definitely follow his route into the city.
Although the Han army did not send someone to monitor Meng Huo, they chartered all the buildings along the way, and every other way, there would be a room in the hall with a Han military supervisor watching the street.
Sure enough, as Xu Shu said, Meng Shu, who was freed, couldn't delay for a day in Chengdu, and he would definitely try his best to get out of here.
Seeing Meng Huo walk through the streets, Xu Huang arranged for the soldiers to go and inform the city gate not to be blocked, and his own family also walked out of the building after the soldiers left.
Out of the building, Xu Huang didn't delay for even a moment, and rushed straight to the barracks.
Besides, Meng Shu didn't find that the Han army was spying on him along the way, although he also had some doubts in his heart about how Xu Shu could do things so simply, but he didn't have time to think about it, and walked to the city gate without lingering for a moment.
At the gate of the city, there were not many people going out of the city.
When everyone went out of the city, although the Han army guarding the gate would not come forward to check, they would look at them carefully from head to toe.
Seeing the Han soldiers at the gate, Meng Shu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, although he was nervous in his heart, his face showed calmness, straightened his chest, and walked towards the city gate.
Walking to the city gate, several Han soldiers turned their eyes to Meng Huo.
Being stared at by a few Han soldiers, Meng Shu only felt a burst of cold air on his back spine.
Walking towards the city gate, he was very worried that the Han army would come forward to stop him and ask him who he was and where he was going.
Walking into the city gate cave, Meng Shu didn't dare to speed up his pace, in order to make it more natural, he slowed down his pace.
The gaze of several Han soldiers remained on him, and it was not until Meng Yu left the city gate that they took their gaze back.
Feeling Han Jun's gaze move from behind, Meng Shu let out a long breath, and his pace couldn't help but speed up a little.
He hadn't gone far when he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and hurriedly turned his head to look behind him.
What appeared in his field of vision was a group of Han cavalry who had just rushed to the city gate and rode war horses.
