After Yin Falcon left, the atmosphere in the big tent became very tense, and there was an obvious taste of embarrassment.

Before Yin Falcon came, Cao Ziang told his subordinates more than once that he would definitely be reinstated immediately, and when it was time to reward his meritorious deeds, he would be indispensable.

But now it seems that not only is the official reinstatement far away, let alone a moment when there will be a reward for meritorious deeds.

The generals didn't dare to look him in the eyes, and said cautiously: "Lord General, don't mind, anyway, we still have a lot of battles to fight in the future, and it is definitely not difficult to make meritorious contributions." ”

"That's right, with your martial arts strength, killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions is a piece of cake. Someone else chimed in.

Cao Ziang's eyes glared: "What do you mean, let Ben General follow those little soldiers? Get out, don't call me the main general in the future, I'm just a partial general now, don't be an eyesore here." ”

"This is the main general's camp!" someone said in a panic, and immediately regretted it when he said it, and there was a sarcasm in his words that Cao Ziang, as a partial general, was also not qualified to continue to stay here.

Cao Ziang's face turned red, he snorted heavily, turned around and walked out.

Everyone looked at the guy who didn't choose to say anything just now with blaming eyes.

Yin Falcon reported the situation to Ye Yunyang, recalling Cao Ziang's expression at that time, he felt very relieved.

Ye Yunyang smiled faintly: "I hope he can understand the deep meaning of you and me from this, and from now on, he will not go his own way, but conscientiously run errands for the imperial court." ”

Yin Falcon shook his head and said: "I think it's difficult, that guy is an extremely face-saving person, he has lost face in front of everyone, he must have hated you and me to the bone, as long as there is a chance to turn over, he will trample us under his feet first." ”

Ye Yunyang sneered: "Then it depends on whether he has such a ability." ”

Seeing that he was not worried, Yin Falcon knew that he had made arrangements, so he stopped talking about this matter and asked: "When will we send troops, Meng Huo has suffered a fiasco during the day, and his vitality has been greatly damaged, so we just take the opportunity to destroy him and completely take control of the royal court area." ”

"The time is not yet ripe and we need to wait and see what happens. Ye Yunyang shook his head and said: "Although Meng Huo lost a game, the foundation is still there, next time we want to take advantage of him, I'm afraid it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky." Ordered the army to garrison the royal court, and no one was allowed to act rashly without the order of the commander. ”

"Yes!"

Meng Huo led the remnants of the army to flee to the east side of the Wangting District, because in front of him was the territory of the Western Barbarians, he did not dare to venture in, and ordered the horses to investigate everywhere, making sure that this place was safe.

What he was most worried about was whether the remnants of the defeated army in his hands would be able to stop Meng Tu if he came to attack at this time.

A few minutes later, Tanma reported that there was an army under the banner of the Western Barbarians, which was moving rapidly towards this side.

Really afraid of something, Meng Huo was shocked into a cold sweat, if he lost again, the capital in his hands would be less and less, and he would not even be able to survive in the gap between the East Barbarian and the West Barbarian.

"Stand in line, prepare to meet the enemy!" he commanded in a loud voice.

When the soldiers heard of the presence of the enemy, they all panicked, and their morale fell to the extreme, and most of them were ready to flee again.

Seeing this scene, Meng Huo couldn't help but be discouraged.

After decades of dominating Nanban, he didn't expect that he would end up like this.

"Report!" the new sentinel came from afar, shouting at the top of his voice: "My lord, the king of the Western Barbarians has sent people to bring cattle, sheep and some grain, which will be escorted by a team of 10,000 people, and there are only less than ten miles left from us. ”

"Meng Tu has such a good heart?" Meng Huo expressed his disbelief, because the Western Barbarian army had just been defeated in the hands of the Southern Barbarians, and it was too late to take revenge, so how could he take the initiative to send supplies over.

He immediately ordered his generals: "You go and investigate in person, see if there is a large army behind this 10,000-strong team, Meng Tu is a cunning guy, and the weasel gives New Year's greetings to the chickens, and he is definitely not at ease." ”

In his opinion, Meng Tu must have used this batch of materials to confuse the Southern Barbarian army, and then suddenly killed from behind and killed the killer.

The generals clenched their fists and beat their horses away.

Meng Zhun continued to order: "Everyone should cheer up the spirit of twelve, so as not to fall into the trap of the Western barbarian thieves." ”

But it turned out that he thought too much, there was not even a figure behind the 10,000-person team, and the general who escorted the supplies said that Meng Tu was grateful that his father had suffered a loss when he fought against Meng Zhun, so he specially sent some materials to help him tide over the difficulties.

Sure it wasn't a conspiracy, but Meng Huo was still puzzled.

Since the two bear children were crowned kings, Meng Tu jumped up and down, and after getting the support of Daqin, he was out of control, for nearly a year, Meng Tu was fighting with him in most cases, the two sides had already become water and fire, and the grudge was irreconcilable, how could he suddenly come to show goodwill?

A staff member analyzed: "King, Meng Tu has lost the support of the Qin people, like a lost dog, knowing that he is not the opponent of you and the Han Barbarian alliance, so he came to show goodwill." If I'm not mistaken, he must want to unite us and deal with Dahan and Meng Zhun together. ”

"He's dreaming!" Meng Huo said angrily: "If he hadn't provoked again and again, would this king have fallen to the point where he is today?"

The staff hurriedly persuaded: "Although this is the case, but now our biggest enemy is the Han Barbarian Alliance, if we don't find someone to unite, whether it is the Southern Barbarian or the Western Barbarian, sooner or later it will have to be swallowed by the other party." As the old saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and in order to have a chance to turn over, it is also possible to cooperate with Xiban temporarily. ”

Meng Huo frowned: "However, Meng Tu and Meng Zhun have already had a cooperation agreement, will he be willing to return to the command of this king?"

It is definitely impossible for the staff to return to your command, and they are also kings now, at most they will join forces with you to fight the enemy, but he did not say it explicitly, but changed his words: "He united with Meng Zhun because the Southern Barbarians are relatively strong, and now the Han Barbarian Alliance is strong, and in order to protect himself, he will definitely tear up the agreement." Sending cattle, sheep and food supplies is to test whether you are willing to accept it, and since the other party is showing goodwill, we might as well show sincerity. ”

Meng Huo's frowning brows gradually stretched, it was a good choice for Xindao to join forces with the Western Barbarians, first of all, he could deter the Han Barbarian Alliance and ensure his own safety, and secondly, he could take the opportunity to kill Meng Tu and swallow his Western Barbarian army, so that he would have the strength to fight with the Han Barbarian Alliance.

That's right, just do it, take the opportunity to get Mengtu.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he said: "That's right, Meng Tu is good, it is necessary for our side to show sincerity, and besides, the batch of materials he sent is just to solve our urgent needs, don't be stupid! Go and inform General Ma, let him personally lead the troops to receive the supplies, and let the other party bring the message back, just say that this king has thanked the king of the Western Barbarians for his kindness." ”

The staff was overjoyed, hugged their fists and said, "The subordinates will arrange it." ”

The next day, the news reached Mengtu's ears, and he laughed happily.

Some generals don't understand why they should take the initiative to show goodwill when they have just suffered a big loss at the hands of Meng Huo, and they should kill them to take revenge.

Seeing that his subordinates didn't understand, he explained: "The combat effectiveness of the Han Barbarian Alliance is beyond our previous expectations, and they have already occupied the royal court, if we continue to cooperate with it, of course it will be okay to clean up Meng Huo, but what about after the Nanban is destroyed?"

The crowd was silent, and only a few thought of the key takeaways.

Meng Tu continued: "Once the Southern Barbarians cease to exist, the Han Barbarian Alliance will regard our Western Barbarians as a great enemy, and with their combat strength and morale, it will be difficult for our side to compete with them, and don't forget that the Great Qin no longer supports this king. Therefore, if we want to protect ourselves, we must unite with Meng Huo, and the two families together will have a chance of winning. ”

The generals suddenly realized that they praised Meng Tu for his strategic vision, but some people were skeptical, saying that cooperating with Meng Huo was tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger.

Meng Huo is an extremely shrewd guy, except for the last time in the imperial capital of the Han Emperor Liu Qi, he has been pit others in this life, and after the two families are united, he will definitely fight the idea of the Western Barbarians.

Meng Tu smiled again: "His idea of fighting the Western Barbarians, this king will also fight his idea of the Southern Barbarians! Do you really think that the two families can achieve sincere cooperation, this king can tell you very responsibly, absolutely impossible! If the Han Barbarian alliance forces hard enough, in order to protect themselves, it is possible for the two sides to join forces to resist the enemy, but as long as they stand firm, Meng Huo will inevitably have different intentions. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and then lowered his voice and said: "This king wants to make a strong move before he makes a move, swallow his army of more than 300,000 people, and we will have the strength to fight with the Han Barbarian Alliance." ”

The generals gave a thumbs up and spared no effort to pat their ass.

is worthy of father and son, and I want to go together.

Since both parties have intentions, it can be said that they hit it off, in order to reduce Meng Tu's precaution, Meng Huo even publicly established Meng Tu as the son of the Southern Barbarians, and made a will in front of everyone, and Meng Tu inherited everything after a hundred years.

Meng Tu was even more desperate, and publicly stated that he would return to the Southern Barbarians, and the father and son would cooperate sincerely to deal with foreign enemies regardless of their past suspicions.

Before, you were a mortal enemy, and suddenly you can wear the same pair of pants, not only the people of the barbarians find it unacceptable, but even the soldiers on both sides are seriously suspicious - did the father and son have been kicked in the head by a donkey?

In any case, on the surface, the two were reconciled as before, and the armies of the two sides were also united, with a strength of about 800,000 troops, and Meng Huo issued a conscription order as a barbarian king, quickly recruiting more than 200,000 troops, and the total strength successfully jumped over the million mark.

When the news reached the royal court, Meng Zhun first panicked, and then Yin Ying and other generals.

Yin Falcon found Ye Yunyang for the first time, complaining that he did not take down Meng Huo in one go, but gave the other party a chance to breathe, and then made an embarrassment with Meng Tu.

Ye Yunyang didn't care, but said in a relaxed tone: "Don't be impatient, that father and son have their own ghosts, their so-called union can't last long, as long as we don't move, they will mess up first." ”

Yin Falcon didn't believe it: "Really?"

Ye Yunyang said with a smile: "Of course, if we send troops at this time, in order to protect ourselves, it will cause the Western Barbarian and Southern Barbarian coalition to become monolithic. On the contrary, because there is no fighting, and there is no need to worry about the safety of life, with the characters of Meng Huo and Meng Tu, can they endure loneliness?"

Yin Falcon understood in seconds: "You mean, give them a chance to attack the other party?"

"That's right!" Ye Yunyang said: "You go and explain to Meng Zhun and ask him to hurry up and send people to buy Meng Huo and Meng Tu's men, no matter who wins the father and son at that time, they can pull a group of people from the losing side, why not?"
