Towards the evening, the cool breeze in the pavilion in the back garden is breezy, and the evening breeze is wrapped in bursts of floral fragrance, which is refreshing and comfortable.

"What the husband said, the concubine and others have also heard it, and they can understand it completely. It's just that I don't know how much my husband knows about the Nanban tribe? After hearing Li Li's affirmative reply, Mengxin asked softly.

At this time, Li Li Fang noticed that Mengxin and Wu Yuan, who asked softly, frowned slightly, and their expressions were a little solemn, and they seemed to be preoccupied and at a loss. Obviously, the two of them had lived in Yizhou for a long time and knew more about the situation of the Nanban tribe than Li Li, so they were not optimistic about the expedition to the Nanban, and were deeply worried about it.

Seeing the difference between Mengxin and Wu Amaranth's expressions, Li Li's brows moved slightly, and he said thoughtfully: "Since the recovery of Hanzhong, I have ordered someone to sneak into Nanzhong to find out the news, and it has been three years now. According to the detailed report, there are many barbarian tribes in the southwest, and there are no less than 100 tribes listed, among which the tribes such as the Huoshen Zhurong tribe, the Nanzhong Meng tribe, the 21st cave lord and the 36 villages in the west are the most powerful.

These tribes vary in size, with a large disparity in population and strength between them, ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands. The power of a single tribe is insignificant, the weapons and armor are extremely rudimentary, and the combat effectiveness is not strong, but once they are united, they are numerous, and their strength should not be underestimated. ”

As he spoke, Li Li paused and sighed in a low voice: "At present, there are many difficulties in front of our army, and in general, there are three major difficulties. First, most of the places where the Nanban live are mountainous jungles. The terrain is complex and varied, and these terrain conditions are not conducive to the march of large armies. In particular, it is especially unfavorable for the war cavalry to participate in the battle. Second, it's hot right now. The climate is humid, and most of the officers and men of our army are young and strong in the north, resistant to cold and heat, and very easy to adapt to water and soil.

Thirdly, and the biggest obstacle in front of us, this is the miasma that can kill people. Most of the Nanban tribes chose to settle in high mountains and dense forests, occupied dangerous places to build camps, and spread traps around the tribes. Moreover, the jungle is perennially full of poisonous miasma. There are many poisonous insects and beasts, and there are many unknown dangers, and you may encounter unforeseen crises at any time. Therefore, this expedition to the South Barbarians can be described as a step-by-step killing machine, extremely dangerous, and the slightest carelessness will cause the loss of the army, and may even wipe out the whole army. ”

Speaking of this, Li Li's words paused again, and he took a sip of tea from the teacup. Then he continued: "Because of this, although the battle plan for the conquest of the Southern Barbarians has long been determined, it has not been sworn out for a long time. This is not only because Yizhou has just been recovered, but also because it needs to be smoothly transitioned for a while. The most important thing is that the conquest of the southern barbarians this time is full of difficulties and dangers. Therefore, the army must be well prepared before setting off, and a large amount of emergency supplies need to be raised. The more cloth, medicinal herbs, and tents, the better, and some Langzhong should be recruited to serve as military doctors. Just in case.

So, I'm ready for autumn. The army marched westward, intending to engage the Nanban tribes in autumn and winter; If you can't win quickly, you can stay in the warm weather and wait for the opportunity to fight again. All in all, steady and steady, steady progress, step by step, it will take three to five years to completely pacify Nanban! "Keenly aware that Mengxin and Wu Amaranth seemed to have some understanding of the situation in the Nanban, so Li Li did not hide it from them, as if he had laid out the plan and inventory of the southern expedition, hoping that after they understood the situation, they could put forward some constructive suggestions and suggestions, which would be helpful to the army.

In fact, Li Li knew that among the two of them, only Mengxin could really help the army to conquer and suppress.

After all, Li Li had heard Mengxin say that she had traveled to the land of the Southern Barbarians in her early years, traveled all over the southern Xinjiang, and learned a lot of witchcraft in the Nanban Fire God tribe. It was Yimengxin who knew a lot about the Nanban tribe, and if she was willing to help, it would undoubtedly be a surprise, at least increasing the odds of winning. In contrast, although Wu Yuan lives in Yizhou all the year round, she is a weak woman after all, and she lives in a simple place all the year round, because even if she has some understanding of the situation of the Nanban tribe, she must have limited knowledge, and I am afraid that it is difficult to put forward an effective construction.

As Li Li thought, as soon as he finished speaking, Meng Xin continued: "Fujun knows a lot about the Nanban tribe, it's roughly true, but it's too general, and it's all well-known news in the Nanzhong area of Yizhou County. From this, it is not difficult to see that the detailed work under the command of Fujun did not go deep into the tribe, did not find out practical and useful information, and it was impossible to figure out the distribution of power and topography of the Nanban tribe. If the husband marched westward on the basis of this information alone, the concubine dared to assert that this conquest of the southern barbarians would inevitably suffer a heavy setback, at least the loss of troops and the futility of the generals, and at the worst the annihilation of the whole army. ”

"Oh?" Li Li was surprised when he heard this, and his expression changed suddenly, but there was no surprise and panic on his face, but he looked at Meng Xin with a smile, took her into his arms casually, let her sit on his lap, and said with a smile: "So, you must be familiar with the situation of the Nanban tribe!" It is so good, for the husband to have a loving wife to help him, this conquest of the Nanban will definitely be able to win, and there will be no disadvantage. Don't worry about your husband, hahaha! As he spoke, his pair of clutches skillfully stroked Meng Xin's waist and his hands up and down, so that Meng Xin Xiafei's cheeks couldn't help but moan, her delicate body writhed, and she gasped again and again.

"Oh——— husband, don't do that, the sisters are watching." The shy Mengxin leaned on Li Li's arms and whispered softly, but it was okay if she didn't say it, after saying this, Li Li became more and more impulsive, and climbed the tower on her chest unscrupulously. This scene fell in the eyes of Ren Hongchang, He Ying and Wu Amaran, which made them dumbfounded, and immediately tilted their heads to the side in shame (do not look at indecent things), pursed their lips and chuckled.

Ren Hongchang, He Ying and others gave up, after all, they and Li Li had already had countless skin-to-skin kisses, and it was not that they had never experienced such a scene as before, and they had long been accustomed to it, and it was not strange. However, it was the first time that Wu Amaranth encountered this kind of "immoral" thing, and she watched it from close range, and saw the expressions of Li Li and Mengxin clearly, so that she looked stunned, in a trance, and quite immersive.

So, Mengxin sitting on Li Li's lap didn't do much, but Wu Yuanjiao, who was sitting on Li Li's right side, trembled, her face flushed, her red lips closed slightly, she looked at Li Li with silky eyes, and her eyes were full of love.

She boldly showed her love to Li Li as if no one was around, and this scene all fell in the eyes of Ren Hongchang, He Ying, Ma Yunluo and Xiao Qiao, which made them laugh out loud: "Giggles! ”

The crisp laughter came into the ears of the confused Mengxin, which made her delicate complexion, mistakenly thinking that the sisters were making fun of her, and immediately broke free from Li Li's arms and sat back down. If this is the case again, the concubine will not talk about it, and she will go back to the room now! Carelessly, Mengxin lost her words.

"Ah———!h Wu Yuan and Ren Hongchang exclaimed when they heard this, and looked at Mengxin dumbfounded, as if they knew her on the first day.

At this time, He Ying joked with a smile: "Go back to the room now?" Sister Xin, there is still half an hour before the night, could it be that Sister Fei can't even wait for half an hour? Giggles! As soon as these words came out, Ren Hongchang and Wu Amaranth burst into laughter, and even Li Li couldn't help laughing. He never expected that the women would not shy away from making such jokes between them, worthy of being close sisters, and they were really open-mouthed and talked about everything!

However, He Ying's words spoke to Li Li's heart, and it broke his mind, and it was also the unprecedentedly unanimous common aspiration of him and Ren Hongchang, Mengxin, Xiao Qiao and other five women. After all, he and Mengxin and other five daughters were accompanied day and night before, the love between husband and wife was deep, and they lingered night and night, and this time they were suddenly separated for more than 20 days, and today they finally got together again, so they naturally wanted to pour out their hearts, and go to Wushan together with firewood.

At the end of the previous luncheon, if Wu Yuan and Rong'er were not present, then Li Li was only afraid that he would be frank with Mengxin, Xiao Qiao and other beautiful wives and concubines, and complain to each other about the pain of lovesickness. How could it be that Wu Amaran had been by his side all the time, and he had no intention of leaving, so that they had to refrain as much as possible between their husband and wife, and endure it for a while, just waiting for the night to fall, which was the time for them to talk about their love and concubine.

After laughing, Meng Xinqiao blushed and said: "Fujun may not know that most of the county seat of Yizhou County has fallen into the hands of the Nanban tribe, but the person who leads it is not the tribal leader, but Yonghong. Yonghong is the Hou Yongya of Han Shifang, and is now the governor of Yizhou County, who was born in the Yizhou clan, has lived in Nanzhong for generations, and has great prestige. Since two years ago, when Yonghong was promoted to the rank of lieutenant, he had set up a county guard, domineering and ambitious. This time Zhao Wei rebelled, Yonghong raised troops in response, secretly allied with the Nanban tribe, seized Nanzhong, and was elected by the Nanban tribe as 'Nanzhong Lord', and among the tribes attached to him were the Meng tribe and the twenty-one cave lord of Huixi.

The Meng tribe is the most powerful Nanban tribe in Yongchang, with tens of thousands of people and more than 10,000 soldiers, and its leader is Meng Jie. However, it was recently reported that Meng Jie's younger brother Meng Huo secretly curried favor with Yonghong, thus gaining Yonghong's support, and then launched a rebellion to take the tribal leader from his brother Meng Jie. In recent years, while currying favor with Yonghong, he actively contacted the major tribes, wanting to marry with the Vulcan tribe, with the help of the supreme status and strength of the Vulcan tribe for generations, trying to unify the Nanban tribe and become the king of the Nanban. ”

Subsequently, Meng Xin told Li Li about several of Meng Huo's allies, including Meng You, Meng Huo's younger brother, Yang Duo, the master of the 21st Cave of Huixi, King Duosi, and King Ugo's vulture bone.

Through Guò Mengxin's narration, the vague memories in Li Li's mind gradually became clear, and he judged that Meng Huo had not yet been recognized by the major tribes of the Southern Barbarians at this time, so he was not a barbarian king now??????
