Chapter Twenty-Six: Many Warriors in Nanzhong

Compared with the officialdom, it is obvious that the life of wandering the world to find strange people is more attractive to Tang Yin. Wu Zhao gave him a copy of "Mozi", and sent a hundred capable disciples to help, provided 1,000 taels of gold as start-up capital, and prepared a mansion in Chengdu as the general rudder, and ordered him to use Chengdu as the base to establish Momen rudders throughout the country.

Externally, there is the Jinyi Guard, which directly obeys his orders, and internally, there is Momen, which expands to the whole world, and a perfect intelligence network can be established soon. I believe that at that time, the incident of being attacked by someone will never happen again!

Well, go on the march!

In the autumn of the first year of Xingping in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yizhou Muwu summoned Xue Xiantu as a general and a governor of soldiers and horses; Ren Hong and Zhu Wu were military advisors, and Chen Lian was promoted to a pioneer officer, leading an army of 80,000 people to fight to rescue Nanzhong and fight against the Guishan thieves. This battle was the first battle between the Han people and the Kushan thieves in history, and later historians called it the first battle of Pinggui.

Just when the autumn was crisp, the army stayed overnight and walked all the way. When he was about to arrive in Qiqi County, the pioneer Chen Liansheng sent scouts to report that the Nanzhong Army had a team of Nanban envoys coming to greet him. Wu Zhao ordered the army to rest for a while, and taught the envoys from Nanzhong to come to the tent. Soon a group of people came in a hurry, and the first three young men were wrapped in flower handkerchiefs, wearing black, red, and yellow cloth clothes, full of alien customs.

As soon as the three of them entered the tent, Wu Zhao was taken aback by the size of the three. These three people are tall and big, with big shoulders and thick waists, and their muscles are very strong; A young man on the left is particularly eye-catching, a head taller than the two next to him, and his height is nearly two meters; But the width of his shoulders seemed more exaggerated than his height, and his chest was as wide as a door panel, and it was covered with black chest hair; A pair of arms as thick as a normal person's waist look full of explosive power, and even more bizarre are as long as ape arms. If it weren't for the agility and recklessness of his eyes, Wu Zhao would have almost mistaken him for the famous giant chimpanzee King Kong.

The barbarian youth in the middle stepped forward, bowed down on one knee and cried: "The heavenly soldiers of the state pastor are coming, and we are waiting for the people of Nanzhong to return to their parents like babies!" The thieves are violent, we don't know the art of war, and the land in the south has almost fallen into the hands of the enemy! Lord Wangzhou has mercy and avenges our hatred! ”

Strictly speaking, the land of Nanzhong also belongs to Yizhou, although in fact, the affairs of the clan are basically decided by the head of the clan, but formally it is still under the jurisdiction of the state pastor. Wu Zhao replaced Liu Zhang as the successor of Yizhou Mu, so he can indeed be regarded as the parent official of these people. So he raised his hand and said, "You get up, you don't have to be polite." Our army of 100,000 will come to attack, and it will inevitably sweep away the thieves and re-establish the south of the country. Who are you? ”

The young man still knelt down and said: "My father is Meng Xiong, the leader of all ethnic groups in Nanzhong, and the villain is the eldest son in the family, surnamed Meng, and his name is Jiejie. These two people are my brothers Meng Huo and Meng You. My father had lined up at the city gate to greet him, and asked the governor to enter the city to rest his horses and discuss the plan. ”

No wonder this person is so terrifying-looking, it turned out to be the famous barbarian king Meng Shu. Meng Jie knelt on one knee, and Meng Huo and Meng You also knelt on one knee, and this Meng Huo knelt down more like a gorilla. Wu Zhao secretly laughed in his heart: "I will also meet King Kong in the Three Kingdoms, I don't know if there will be a Tyrannosaurus rex in the future?" ”

Holding back a smile, he got up and said, "Okay, you lead the way, and I'll come from behind." "Ordered Xue Xiantu to camp outside the city, and Wang Bao brought his personal guards to protect and enter the city.

That Meng Xiong was also a burly man, accompanied by a tall and thin old man. Wu Zhao had a pleasantry with the two, the thin and tall old man's surname was Zhu Mingchang, and he was Meng Xiong's sworn brother. When the group entered the city, Wu Zhao sat on the throne and asked, "Two leaders, what is the situation in Nanzhong now?" How many enemy troops are there? How is the combat power? ”

Meng and Zhu glanced at each other, and Meng Xiong spoke: "It's a shame to say, since the enemy army entered the country, our army has been defeated in successive battles, and now only two counties of Qike and Qianwei are left in the seven counties of Nanzhong. Almost all the tribes in Nanzhong have also fallen, and only the Meng clan and the Zhu clan remain. A few days ago, the enemy broke through Yongchang City, if it weren't for Brother Zhu's rescue. I, Meng Xiong, am already in the underworld! ”

Wu Zhao knew that these barbarians did not know the art of war at all, and it was reasonable that the soldiers of the Kushan Empire would be beaten to pieces. What's more, the famous "Art of War" has already spread to the surrounding powers. Most of Khan has also read that the ability to use soldiers is naturally stronger than that of barbarians.

Now that it is a total rout, the immediate task is to get to the bottom of the Samik problem. When will Khan attack, fight the first battle, and then take advantage of the momentum to reclaim the old land!

Zhu Chang said: "The old man originally thought that with the terrain in the south, the enemy would not be able to advance so quickly. But the enemy chieftain Samik. Khan once led a team of super masters to rob and kill all the way through Nanzhong, so the terrain of Nanzhong was basically touched by him. This time, Brother Meng withdrew from Yongchang, and if it wasn't for the cover of the poisonous spring, it might not be easy to retreat. But with the elite of the enemy, the poisonous spring can't stop them for long, and it is estimated that the opponent's pursuers should arrive within ten days. ”

Wu Zhao nodded when he heard this: "Well, I should have prepared early." The thieves are in full swing, and we must win this first battle! How many horses do you have under your command? Only when our two families join forces can we have a chance of winning! ”

Meng Xiong's face changed color slightly, but he was a rough man, and he didn't escape Wu Zhao's eyes: "Lord Zhou Mu, our army has been defeated, and most of his subordinates have been killed in battle. There were only 5,000 soldiers left. If the adult has a useful place, Meng Xiong will never give up! ”

Wu Zhao was slightly stunned, it seemed that he had been in too much of a hurry to ask him to join forces with him. Wen Yan comforted: "In this case, the two leaders are responsible for guarding the city." Just be ready to support at any time. But I'm going to borrow one from the chief. ”

Meng Xiong was visibly relieved: "Alone? That's no problem at all. I don't know who it is? ”

Wu Zhao said: "I lack fierce generals under my command, so I hope to borrow your son Meng and his party." In addition, our army is on an expedition, and before defeating the bandits, we need to replenish the food and grass and ordnance at your place. ”

Meng Xiong was full of words, although he was reluctant, he had to grit his teeth and nod in agreement. Wu Zhaoxin's center is blooming: finally a general! Judging from Meng Huo's terrifying appearance, even if he can't kill the three Tyrannosaurus Rex, at least it's okay to single out the three leopards, right?

Meng Xiong ordered to go down, and Meng Shu went back to put on a neat coat and changed into a military uniform: wearing rhino leather armor, a vermilion helmet on his head, holding a huge iron plate in his left hand, holding a ghost head knife with a thick back and a wide face in his right hand, riding a red-haired cow two or three times the size of an ordinary cow, majestic and majestic.

This Meng Shu was very arrogant, urging Niu to slowly walk in front of Wu Zhao, and said hello with a big grin.

Meng Xiong and Zhu Chang were sent out of the city together, and after saying goodbye at the city gate, they were about to turn around and return to the camp, when a coquettish voice sounded: "Wu Na Han people, why do you want Meng to get help, but you don't ask me?" I am the number one warrior in Nanzhong! ”
