238. The sincerity of the son-in-law
Qinzhou City has been occupied by the Southern Barbarian Army, although it is an ally with the Yellow Turban Army, but the main force to capture Qinzhou City is the Southern Barbarian Army, and the Yellow Turban Army of the Mountain Tiger is only assisting the Southern Barbarian Army.
The real main force of the Yellow Turban Army is not here, and the land south of Qinzhou actually belongs to Meng Huo's territory.
Before the alliance, the forces of the Southern Barbarian Army, the Yellow Turban Army and the Yizhou Army had already divided their territories, and the land of Qinzhou belonged to the control of the Southern Barbarian Army.
To tell the truth, the Changding army is like a nail stuck in the rear of the Southern Barbarian Army, if it weren't for the fact that Chu He had a certain friendship with Meng Qingtong and mastered the secret recipe of steel, which could bring great benefits to the Southern Barbarian Army, even if the Yellow Turban Army didn't do it, Meng Shu would definitely send people south to eradicate the Changding Army.
Meng Shu watched the Yellow Turban Army attack Chu He coldly, not hoping that the Yellow Turban Army could kill the Changding Army cleanly, not only to eradicate his own henchmen, but also to force Chu He to join the queue of the Southern Barbarians.
At this time, Meng was discussing the next strategy with his generals.
In the state pastoral office, there is also Mrs. Zhu Rong, the Lord of the Eight Caves, the King of Mulu, who is second only to Meng Shu, the peak power of the six grades.
In addition, the marshals of the three major caves under Meng Huo also appeared in the official office, and all three of them were six-grade powers, slightly inferior to Mrs. Zhurong and King Mulu in one or two small realms.
Meng You, the younger brother of Meng Huo, and the younger brother of Mrs. Zhu Rong brought the cave master, as well as Yang Feng of the twenty-first hole, busy tooth chief and other generals, also gathered here.
If Chu He saw such a picture, he would definitely be taken aback.
In the romance, Meng Shu was defeated and retreated one after another, and then brought the cave master to recommend King Mulu and Vulture Bone to him, but he didn't expect that at this time, Meng Shu had already joined forces with King Mulu.
Looking at the posture of the two, King Mulu was not even Meng Shu's ally, but Meng Shu's subordinates.
However, since Mu Xiang, the younger brother of King Mulu, is responsible for protecting Meng Qingtong, it can be seen that Meng Huo has long been in contact with King Mulu.
King Mulu had a hideous appearance, tall and thin body, dark red skin as if it had been burned by fire, and there was no hair on his bare head.
On both temples, there are two hideous poisonous dragons tattooed, wearing huge copper rings on both ears, and a skull necklace around their necks, which looks extremely fierce.
He suddenly said gloomily: "King, now that we have captured Qinzhou, why don't we take advantage of the situation to raise troops and capture Wangzhou and Baozhou in one go?"
"The land of these two states is not within our agreement with the Yellow Turban and the three counties of Nanzhong, and whoever captures it will own it. Now Wangzhou and Baozhou have sent troops to help Qinzhou many times, and their strength has been greatly reduced, so don't be taken advantage of by the Yellow Turban Army!"
Although King Mulu is a general under Meng Shu, in fact, many cave masters in Nanban are more cooperative relations, just like the relationship between the empire and the princes in the past.
Each cave master has his own army under his command, and the Mulu King has a giant elephant ride of 3,000 people, which is extremely powerful.
Hearing what King Mulu said, the Southern Barbarian King Meng Shu also had to explain a thing or two, and said in a deep voice: "Although Qinzhou has fallen into our hands now, it is not easy to completely control such a land of thousands of miles. ”
"Our top priority is to stabilize the territory of power in our hands, otherwise even if Baozhou and Wangzhou fall into our hands, what is the use? The troops are too scattered, and when the army of Shu comes, we will not have enough troops, and we don't need to let it out obediently. ”
He smiled coldly and said: "Don't look at the great reduction in the strength of Wangzhou and Baozhou, but it is by no means easy to capture, so let the Yellow Turban Army touch these two hard bones first." ”
Mrs. Zhurong is Meng Huo's wife, but she also has her own generals and generals, but she is not completely attached to Meng Huo's banner, so it can be said that she is also a wife, a general and an ally.
Mrs. Zhurong is a famous beauty in the Three Kingdoms, her complexion is as white as frost, wearing a yellow-brown fox fur decorated armor, wearing a jeweled peacock headdress, although she is over forty years old, she looks extremely young, and her appearance is ninety percent similar to Meng Qingtong, but she has more mature and stable charm.
If the two stand together, it is more like twin sisters than a mother-daughter relationship.
Hearing Meng Shu say this, Mrs. Zhu Rong also groaned: "Husband Jun is right! Although the Yellow Turban Army in Qinzhou and the Yellow Turban Army in Baozhou and Wangzhou join forces to get a million soldiers. ”
"However, Baozhou Wangzhou has a vast and deep area, and the people are more inclined to Shu, I am afraid that if they can gather more than a million soldiers and horses, the Yellow Turban Army may not be able to conquer the land of the two states alone. ”
"The biggest disadvantage of our Southern Barbarian Army is the lack of armor, and now we have obtained a lot of armor from Tianshui County, and purchased 100,000 catties of steel, over time, we can create a thousand sets of beast armor and arm an invincible beast horse. ”
"When the Yellow Turban Army is defeated with Wangzhou and Baozhou, it will not be too late for us to send troops!"
The cave master of the first cave of the Golden Ring Three Knots seems to be extremely vulgar, but in fact, he is thoughtful, otherwise he would not be able to become the cave master of the first cave, but at this time he said: "The king, the lady, since the strength of Wangzhou and Baozhou still exists, why does the Yellow Turban Army not hesitate to collide with them?"
He took a deep breath: "The Tiangong general of the Yellow Turban Army is the reincarnation of Zhang Jiao, the peak of the seven-rank national scholar cultivation, and he has one of the three great strange books in the world, the Taiping Qing Lingshu, a pedantic celestial, and even relied on the power of the Taiping Qing Lingshu to find many generals who were reincarnated and rebuilt under his command before. ”
"Especially Zhang Ning, the saint of the Yellow Turban, is known as the first talented woman in Kyushu, with unparalleled wisdom and skills, and the first place in the hidden dragon list in the high base. ”
"How could the Yellow Turban Army not think of the key to it, and not hesitate to use all its strength to fight with Wangzhou and Baozhou?"
Meng Huo's eyes flashed, and he said with a sneer: "Because the Yellow Turban Army has no choice!"
"We are anti-Shu, and there is still the possibility of being recruited, but the Yellow Turban Army is different. Shu claims to be the bloodline of the Han Dynasty, and the Yellow Turban Army is incompatible, if the Yellow Turban Army does not occupy enough territory and have enough troops before the arrival of the Shu army, it will never be possible to compete with Shu. ”
Jinhuan Sanjie was still a little puzzled: "Since the king said that even if we occupy Baozhou and Wangzhou, we can't control it quickly, can it be that Zhang Jiao can turn it into his own combat power if he captures the two states?"
Meng Shu sighed: "The Yellow Turban Army is different from us. In the eyes of the Han people, we are barbarians, and it is extremely difficult to rule the Han people. But the Yellow Turban Army is of Han blood, and he is good at using the way of the Yellow Sky to deceive people's hearts, and he really let him capture the two states, and it will only take two years at most to capture the hearts of the people in the two states. ”
The second cave master, Dong Di, said coldly: "Those Han people are just unreliable!"
"King, since the Changding army has a large number of armor in its hands, then the Chu River kid has mastered the secret method of steelmaking, why don't we send troops to eradicate it?"
"Even if we can't get the secret method of steelmaking, the battle armor on the Changding army alone is enough for us to arm 10,000 children, even if the million-strong army of Shu arrives, why should we be afraid?"
Ah Huilan, the cave master of the third cave, also nodded and said: "Marshal Dong Dana is right, now that the 200,000 troops of the Yellow Turban Army are attacking the Changding Army, they will definitely easily destroy the Changding Army, and obtain countless armor from them, greatly increasing the strength of the Yellow Turban Army. ”
"In case all the steelmaking secrets fall into their hands, I'm afraid that the strength of the Yellow Turban will surpass us in an instant. ”
Meng Shu suddenly smiled: "Chang Dingjun is naturally not the opponent of the Yellow Turban Army. However, the secret method of steelmaking will never fall into the hands of the Yellow Turban Army?"
Ah Hui was puzzled and asked, "Why did the king say this?"
Meng Shu's face suddenly became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Because behind Chu He, there are Gan Ning and Huang Zhong to support him!"
"These two gods of war have already made an agreement with us that they will not allow strong people above the fifth rank to enter Tianshui County, and they will never watch the Chu River fall into the hands of the Yellow Turban Army!"
"Didn't Zhang Jiao know the importance of the secret method of steelmaking to the army? The reason why he didn't go to Datong County in person, capture the Chu River, and force him to ask about the secret method of steelmaking was because these two gods of war existed. ”
Meng Shu sneered: "Even if Zhang Jiao has the Taiping Qing Collar Book, and has reached the peak realm of the Seven Rank National Warriors, it is impossible for two world-famous gods of war to join forces!"
His face suddenly became extremely cold: "Even if all the armor of the Changding Army falls into the hands of the Yellow Turban, this will only make the battle between the Yellow Turban and the Shu Kingdom even more fierce." ”
In the end, Meng Shu made a categorical conclusion: "If Chu He wants to take revenge, he can only rely on our Southern Barbarian Army, and then not only will the secret method of steelmaking fall into our hands, but even the two gods of war, Gan Ning and Huang Zhong, will be used by us!"
King Mulu, Mrs. Zhurong and the others all had a sense of respect on their faces, they couldn't imagine that Meng Shu actually had such far-reaching plans, in vain they were still worried that the secret method of steelmaking would fall into the hands of the Yellow Turban Army!
At this time, Meng Huo's personal soldiers suddenly entered the hall: "King Qiyu, Tianshui County has a military situation to report!"
Meng Shu said in a deep voice: "Submit it!"
The soldiers immediately stepped forward and handed a bamboo tube to Meng Shu with both hands.
Meng Shu opened the red paint of the bamboo tube seal, pulled out a piece of silk cloth from it, unfolded it, the corners of his mouth twitched instantly, usually the thunder started from the side without being surprised, and Meng Shu, who was not moved by the collapse of Mount Tai, his face became cloudy, and his eyes showed a trace of surprise.
After being silent for a long time, Meng Shu suddenly let out a long breath, and his face looked very ugly: "The Yellow Turban Army has been defeated!"
When everyone heard this, they were stunned, and King Mulu couldn't help but ask, "What? The Yellow Turban Army was defeated?"
Meng Shu handed the silk cloth to King Mulu, and said: "The Yellow Turban Army attacked the city for ten days without success, and Chu He suddenly returned riding a scorpion-tailed tiger, and the fighting spirit of the Changding army soared, and the army momentum soared. ”
"Chu He sang war poems, blessed the whole army, and was possessed by the heroic spirit of the overlord of Western Chu, suspected of the combat power of the seven-grade god of war, led 6,000 Changding troops, defeated more than 100,000 Yellow Turban troops, and killed tens of thousands of enemies! ”
Three days later, the whole army of the Changding Army attacked, 13,000 soldiers and horses, and the Yellow Turban Army 120,000 soldiers and horses fought a decisive battle in Shuangma County. ”
The battle lasted for three hours, and the 120,000 Yellow Turban Army was defeated, with more than 50,000 casualties and countless prisoners, and the remaining 30,000 remnants of the Yellow Turbans retreated to Tianshui County. Tianshui County all fell into the hands of the Changding Army. ”
Everyone was taken aback when they heard Meng Shu tell the battle situation in Tianshui County one by one, and they couldn't believe what they heard, but these words came out of Meng Shu's mouth, and they didn't believe it.
King Mulu looked at the silk cloth, and then handed it over to Mrs. Zhurong, his face also became extremely shocked, and he hesitated for a long time before saying, "King, will this battle report be wrong, or someone has transferred it?"
"The Changding Army, which has only more than 10,000 people, has never been tested in a bloody battle, how can it withstand the elite of the 200,000 Yellow Turban Army!"
Meng Shu shook his head: "There will be no mistakes in the battle report, the one sent to Tianshui County is the king's confidant and cronies, and there is a secret note on the military report, which proves that it has not been changed by others." ”
He took a deep breath, his expression became extremely complicated, and he said with great feeling: "This Chu River is really beyond the expectations of this king!"
"Young age, suspected of having the power of the god of war, there are three gods of war under his command to help, the soldiers under his command are so strong, they can defeat the 200,000 army of the Yellow Turban Army with one enemy of ten, if they go through a few more battles, I am afraid that there will be no opponents in the world. ”
"The appearance of the Changding Army in Tianshui County is a big trouble for our Southern Barbarian Army!"
Jinhuan Sanjie's face sank suddenly, and he said coldly: "King, it's just that the Yellow Turban Army is too weak, and the last general only needs 50,000 troops to eradicate this great trouble for the king!"
Meng Shu waved his hand slightly: "Marshal Jinhuan, even if we really want to send troops, you are in the six-rank realm, and you can't lead troops there." ”
His face changed for a long time, and finally he let out a long sigh: "Even if we really defeat the Changding army, as long as we can't take the Chu River and force him to the side of the Shu Kingdom, it will not only be an extremely huge threat to our Southern Barbarian Army, but even to the Yellow Turban Army and the armies of the three counties of Nanzhong!"
"The Yellow Turban Army is by no means a weak army, among these 200,000 troops, there are a thousand square soldiers, and if we don't use the beast cavalry, we may not be able to defeat them. Really fighting with the Changding army, I'm afraid it can't be done without 300,000 troops. ”
He sighed, and said: "The only people who made an agreement with us are Huang Zhong and Gan Ning, the god of war who suddenly appeared, and Chu He, who is suspected of having the combat power of the seven-rank god of war, are not in the restriction, and the two of them can be worth an army of 50,000!"
Mrs. Zhu Rong's face was also a little ugly: "Now we need to gather forces to deal with the Shu army, if we let the Changding army stay in the rear, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles." ”
Meng Shu suddenly laughed, and looked at Mrs. Zhurong with tenderness: "Madame, don't worry. ”
"Do you know that since the Changding Army is so powerful, even worth three or four hundred thousand troops, why would they exchange their armor for Qin Shengnan in our hands, and sell us 100,000 stainless steel?"
The defeat of the 200,000 Yellow Turban Army by the Changding Army does not mean that it can only be worth 200,000 troops, you must know that the defeat is not a crushing victory, and it is very capable of defeating the opponent without twice the combat power!
Mrs. Zhurong couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this: "The concubine originally thought that Changding's army was weak, and she was afraid that we would wave our army south to destroy the land of his two counties, and deliberately show favor to us, but now it seems that this is not the case." ”
Meng Huo laughed: "The stronger the Changding Army, the more it shows the sincerity of this good son-in-law!"
