Meng Shu was once again let go of Zhang Xiu, and the generals were all confused and disloyal! Go to the public, now that Sanjiang City is under the control of our army, Meng Huo's life and death can no longer affect the situation in Nanzhong, why not kill him

Zhang Xiu heard this, and said with a slight smile: "Han Sheng also said that Sanjiang City has been controlled by our army, and Meng Shu can no longer affect the situation in Nanzhong, so what good is it to kill him?" No matter how many times he reversed the situation, it would be useless. In this case, wouldn't it be better if he was convinced, and let him sit in Nanzhong

After a pause, Zhang Xiu continued: "Besides, now that the news that Sanjiang City is under the control of the general has spread, I believe that the barbarians in Nanzhong will not send troops to fight against the general. It is impossible for Meng Huo to borrow troops in Nanzhong, if the general is not bad, the rest should be his last chance. ”

Huang Zhong listened, his eyes widened, and he asked, "Nanzhong can't borrow soldiers, so where can I borrow it?"

Li Ru next to him smiled and said: "Didn't Han Shengmo forget, before Ji Ping left, he said that there is a Ugo country in the south of Nanzhong. It seems that the lord of Confucianism wants to borrow the hand of Meng Shu this time to include the territory of the Ugo Kingdom into the territory of my Han Dynasty

Zhang Xiu heard this, and smiled slightly: "Those who know me are also worried." Not only in the country of Ugo, but also in large areas in the southwest of the country of Ugo. To the south, it will extend to the sea, and to the west, it will extend to the border with the Temp Country. When the people heard it, they were impressed.

After Meng Shu left, as Zhang Xiu expected, he went to the Ugo country with Meng You and defected to the vulture bone, the lord of the Ugo country. When the vulture heard that the Han people had taken down all the southern and central capitals, he agreed to go on the expedition considering the feelings of both parties. So he led 30,000 vine armor troops, and went straight to Sanjiang City with the Meng You brothers.

And when Meng Shu went to the Ugo country to ask for troops, Zhang Xiu invited all the major cave masters in Nanzhong to Sanjiang City.

These cave masters heard that the actual controller of Sanjiang City was invited but they didn't dare not come, of course, there were also those who were willing to come, and some were unwilling, but they were afraid of Zhang Xiubingfeng, but they didn't dare not come. Here, Zhang Xiu even released King Mulu and Zhu Rong. Join us at this meeting. Dozens of cave masters looked at Zhang Xiu's majestic expression on the main throne, but they didn't dare to speak loudly. I saw Zhang Xiu cough a few times first, and then said, "This time I brought you here, mainly to discuss the future exhibition of Nanzhong, although the cave owners have expected it, but after really hearing it, there are still a lot of discussions.

Zhang Xiu lightly pressed his hand, and after everyone had calmed down, he said, "You should have also heard about the situation of the Golden Ring Three Knots, Dong Dana, and Ah Huilan. Ben will also plan to implement this policy in the Nanzhong region, build a large number of cities and open mutual markets, and will also send people to teach everyone how to farm. And Ben will also send people to supervise the transactions between the two ethnic groups, and everyone can also study and become officials like the Han people. The details will be explained to you later. In fact, the general situation is the same as that of the Qiang people in Liangzhou. ”

Due to the situation in Liangzhou, many cave owners in Nanzhong have heard of it and know that the Han and Qiang ethnic groups there are harmonious, and the treatment of the Qiang people is the same as that of the Han people. Moreover, due to the opening of trade routes, the life of the Qiang people in Liangzhou has gradually become richer, and many of them are Qiang merchants who come to Nanzhong. They also said this from their own mouths.

For such treatment, all the cave masters in Nanzhong are relatively satisfied. At this time, King Duosi suddenly spoke: "The general said that we are treated the same as the Qiang people in Liangzhou, I'm afraid it's empty words. But I know that the Qiang people are now living a prosperous life because they have opened up a trade route to the Western Regions, but we in Nanzhong have no trade route benefits, and it is impossible to be like the Qiang people. ”

When the cave masters heard this, they knew that it was reasonable, and they nodded their heads one after another, and at the same time began to talk about each other.

When Zhang Xiu saw it, he laughed and said: "The master of Duosi Cave is wrong with this, how do you know that there is no benefit from the trade route?" ”

Duo Si heard this, and said without changing his face: "I don't mean to contradict the general, but for the sake of thousands of people in my southern middle school, I have to ask clearly." The general said that we have the advantage of the trade route, so please ask the general to explain a thing or two, so that I can understand

All the cave masters, including the Golden Ring Sanjie and the others, nodded at the same time. They all knew that King Duosi was the first wise man in Nanzhong, and at this time, everyone faintly thought that he was a condition for negotiating with Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu heard this, and asked with a smile: "Do you know what is the southeast of Nanzhong?"

When a cave owner heard this, he immediately replied: "It's Jiaozhou, and the sea!" ”

Zhang Xiu nodded and said: "Since you know that it is the sea, you can know that from the sea, you can rely on ships to reach the Western Regions, the Heavenly Moat, Persia and even the Great Qin Kingdom. From the seaside of Jiaozhou to Chengdu, the nearest road is to take Nanzhong. In this way, if Yizhou's products want to go to Tianqian and Persia, they do not have to go north to take the Western Regions trade route, but can go south to take the sea route. In this way, the land of Nanzhong will not be the same as Liangzhou, and your life will also be improved. ”

When all the cave masters heard this, their faces were filled with joy.

However, at this time, King Duosi spoke again: "Although the general's words are reasonable, but the south is mountainous, and the road is not as easy as Liangzhou. How could a Yizhou merchant foolishly choose to go to Nanzhong instead of the Western Regions of Liangzhou

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he laughed and said, "The Lord of Duosi Cave only knows these and doesn't know the entire trade route. It seems easy to go from Yizhou to Liangzhou to the Western Regions, but after entering the Western Regions and passing through the Loulan Kingdom, it is an extremely desolate place to the west. It's extremely dry, dehydrated, and easily disoriented. It was a long way to get there, and it was only after reaching Persia that things got better. On the contrary, take the south side of the middle school, although it is mountainous, but after crossing the mountain road, you can go south 6 ways to the moat, or you can change boats to go. In addition, there are many rivers in the southern middle land, and merchants can use the waterway to transport them, or set up the plank road next to the river beach, so wouldn't it be just as convenient? In addition, the land in the south is very warm even in winter, so you can not rest, on the contrary, the western region of Liangzhou will close the road with heavy snow in winter. Therefore, the value of the Nanzhong trade route is very high, and the cave masters can also open the Nanzhong and grow food, so many prongs will naturally improve the life of your clansmen. ”

I have to say that Zhang Xiu's words have depicted the bright prospects of the South Central Exhibition. All the cave masters nodded yes when they heard this, and even King Duosi couldn't find any problems. Of course, there is a certain truth in what Zhang Xiu said, but as King Duosi said, Nanzhong is mountainous and difficult to travel, although there are many rivers, but because a large part of it belongs to the upstream area, it is full of mountains and rocks, it is impossible to sail. Therefore, the upstream roads can only be built on the relatively gentle places on both sides of the river.

There are also two sides of the river in the south of the river

Introduced, the most troublesome section is from Chengdu to Nanzhong, this section of the road is the most oh... Sixth, in order to open up the Nanzhong Trade Road, it is necessary to build the plank road from Chengdu to Nanzhong, and the investment here will not be less.

However, Zhang Xiu decided to build this plank road no matter how difficult it was, and this place in Nanzhong was extremely important to control the entire Indochina Peninsula in the south. This road allowed Chengdu to connect with Nanzhong, and then control the Indochina Peninsula through Nanzhong, and Jiaozhou to the east. After seizing the Indochina Peninsula, Zhang Xiu was also preparing to take Luzon Island. In this way, in addition to greatly strengthening the potential of the entire Han nation for the next thousand years, the coastal defense in the south has also been effectively guaranteed. Even if the West expands in the future, and the Han nationality owns the Indochina Peninsula and Luzon Island, as long as this throat is guarded, it will be extremely difficult for Western forces to enter South China.

Therefore, the entire Nanzhong occupies an extremely important position in Zhang Xiu's strategic territory, and Zhang Xiu wants the barbarians here to be convinced no matter what. Looking at the appearance of many cave owners in the field now, the effect looks good.

Finally, after discussing some details, the cave masters dispersed. As early as before Zhang Xiu's southern expedition, Huang Quan had already been instructed to prepare a large number of officials, and these officials were divided into three batches, and they were also sent out in batches after Zhang Xiu left. Li Hui's side has already commanded the first batch of officials to establish a mutual market on their side in the three junctions of the Golden Ring. The second and third groups of officials also arrived at this time. Zhang Xiu stayed in Sanjiang City and Jia Mu and began to build Nanzhong with Sanjiang City as the center.

This Sanjiang City is actually near Kunming in Yunnan in later generations, but the Kunming city of later generations was built in the north of Dianchi Lake, and the current Sanjiang City was built in the south of Dianchi Lake.

In addition to Sanjiang City, Zhang Xiu also built a city near Erhai Lake in the west, which was the Dali City in later generations. The city of Zhibu Weicheng, which is further southwest of Yongchang County, was also intensified in order to control the area with many mountains in the northwest.

After the meeting of Sanjiang City, Zhang Xiu's troops were divided into two roads again, one of which was led by Huang Zhong to lead 20,000 elites to the east, attacking Yulin County and Cangwu County in Jiaozhou, Zhang Xiu told Huang Zhong that if time and weather permitted, it would be best to take Nanyang County together. Because it was already autumn at this time, and the road was mountainous, Zhang Xiu was not sure if Huang Zhong could break through Nanhai County before winter arrived.

However, it doesn't matter if it can't be broken, there are not many troops in the hands of Jiaozhou Assassin Shiyan. Historically, with 5,000 elites, Soochow was able to force Shiyan to surrender. However, Zhang Xiu did not let Shiyan continue to control Jiaozhou, but personally controlled it. However, with Huang Zhong commanding 20,000 elites, it was easy to defeat a poor and small number of defenders.

Due to the eastward advance of Huang Zhong's army and the southward movement of Zhang Ren's army, Zhang Xiu decided to transport grain and grass to the east of present-day Guiyang in the southeastern part of the city. At the same time, taking advantage of this battle, Dong Yun and Li Han worked together to build Jilancheng into a big city in the eastern part of Nanzhong, so as to control the eastern part of Nanzhong. In this way, it was formed with Sanjiang City as the center, and then controlled Nanzhong through Helan in the east and Dali in the west.

Huang Zhong divided his troops to attack Jiaozhou, and Zhang Xiu led 50,000 recruits south. At this time, Meng Shu had already said that he had moved the vultures of the Ugo Kingdom to lead 30,000 vine armor soldiers to the north.

The two armies met on both sides of the Taohua Ferry, and Zhang Xiu saw the barbarians on the opposite side on the north bank. Sure enough, I saw that all of these barbarians were wearing rattan armor, and there were about 30,000 of them. Zhang Xiu knew that this rattan armor could carry people across the water, so he ordered the army to retreat thirty miles before going down to the village. At the same time, because the water in Taohuadu was poisonous and could not be drunk, Zhang Xiu ordered people to dig the ground to get water.

On the first day of the second day, 30,000 rattan armor soldiers crossed the river to kill, and just before they arrived at Zhang Xiujun's camp, they saw Zhang Xiujun's neat formation in front of the camp.

Zhang Xiu rode on top of the purple dew, holding a tiger-headed golden gun, majestic. looked at the barbarians on the opposite side, and shouted: "Meng Huo, rat generation, dare to come out and fight with the general?" ”

In the army opposite, Meng Shu knew that Zhang Xiu's martial arts were good, and where did he dare to fight. I heard Zhang Xiu's shouting, but he didn't come out. Meng didn't get out but angered someone, and the troops on Zhang Xiu's side only saw an incomparable roar in the opposite formation, and then saw a giant man with a length of twelve feet striding out of the formation, and then looked at Zhang Xiu's side and rushed over!

Zhang Xiu saw the appearance of the vulture. scolded in his heart: "Damn! Is this human? But before he finished scolding in his heart, Zhang Xiu's Hu Che'er danced a mace and rode his horse to kill him! Seeing this, Zhang Xiu hurriedly said to Zhou Cang: "You go and press the battle for Lao Hu, this barbarian is not easy to deal with!" Zhou Cang nodded solemnly, and also carried the mace out of the prison.

The vultures here were just running on their legs, with an unknown weapon in their hands, and their bodies were covered in scales, looking terrifying, not human-like. However, the careful Zhang Xiu soon noticed that the vulture bone was not any scale armor. Instead, he wore a rattan armor.

It's just that this rattan armor is so large that it encloses its entire body. Although this vulture bone is walking, its terrifying height gives it a condescending posture, and Hu Che'er looks like a child in front of it.

"Roar

The vulture roared again, and slammed the unknown weapon at Hu Che'er with one hand!

"When !!"

"Shhh

The two weapons clashed, and there was an earth-shattering sound. The next moment, Hu Che'er neighed sadly under the war horse, but he saw that the four legs of the war horse could not withstand such an intense bombardment and broke!

Hu Che'er is out of balance, and the whole manpower can't be transported. Just when everyone was shocked, Zhou Cang had already ridden his horse to kill, and swept his mace directly on the weapon of the vulture bone to deflect it, allowing Hu Che'er to escape in danger.

At this time, everyone's hanging hearts settled, and they were surprised at the same time: "What a powerful barbarian! "Hu Che'er has landed here, and the vulture bone danced and smashed at Hu Che'er again!

When Hu Che'er saw it, he snorted heavily, and said coldly: "You dare to underestimate me? After speaking, he held the mace in both hands, and at the same time, the muscles and flesh of his arms bulged, and the cyan blood vessels were wriggling like earthworms. The brute force has been completely infused into the mace, and the next moment, the mace slammed into it!

"When !!"

The roar came out again, and Zhang Xiu clearly saw that the soil under Hu Che'er's feet had been stepped on by him in two deep pits in one blow, which showed the power of the vulture bone. However, the vulture bone was not happy, and when the two blades clashed, Zhang Xiu obviously saw his body shaking. ,If you want to know what will happen next,Please log in to 6,More chapters,Support the author,Support genuine reading!
