Chapter Fifty-Nine: We Have Arrived at Wuxi Man (Seeking Reading, Asking for Votes, Seeking Investment)
Although Lu Meng's words meant to ask, his tone was very firm, and even fools could hear it, and he didn't mean to let Sima Yi refuse.
After Sima Yi listened to Lu Meng's words, he was angry.
No matter how talented Jiangdong withered, it was not so withered that it was possible to let people from other forces serve as their staff officers.
Lu Meng's mouth was good, he actually wanted to tie himself to his side to prevent himself from leaking everything he had just seen.
Because he understood Lu Meng's meaning, Sima Yi couldn't help but cry out in his heart,
Why do people always want to harm him?
Cao Cao is like this, and so is Lu Meng today.
When Cao Cao asked him to send Sun Quan, it was already a rather dangerous thing.
Fortunately, he was in a hurry and suggested that Cao Cao divide Sun Quan before leaving.
With such sincerity, he was treated favorably by Sun Quan after coming to Jiangdong, so that there was no danger.
Now, Lü Meng wants to take him in the army again.
The two armies fought and were in great danger.
It's okay to say that everything is going well with the Jiangdong army.
If once the Jiangdong army is overturned, it will encounter the defeat of Hefei as in the past,
Under such a defeat, the Jiangdong generals themselves were still too busy to take care of themselves.
He is a courtier of the Wei State, where else will anyone care about him?
At that time, his life was completely out of his control.
Sima Yi immediately wanted to say no to Lu Meng, but when he saw the determined look on Lu Meng's face, he could only bow his head when he was under the eaves.
"Governor Lu Du invited, Yi is happy."
Although he was very reluctant in his heart, Sima Yi was good at forbearance.
At least judging from his expression and tone at this time, others will think that he is very happy to accept this kind of thing.
But in fact, Sima Yi already hated Lu Meng deeply.
When the crown prince ascends the throne in the coming day, he will have the opportunity to take charge of the military, and he must personally conquer Jiangdong to avenge today's revenge.
The hatred in Sima Yi's heart, Lu Meng didn't know.
The real reason why he had the idea of taking Sima Yi with him was as Sima Yi thought.
Today's World War is related to Jiangdong's century-old national fortunes, and in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, it is impossible for him to just listen to Sima Yi's one-sided words.
He wanted to look at Sima Yi personally.
Lu Meng felt that as long as he took Sima Yi with him, Sima Yi would definitely not have a chance to reveal his condition.
And when it comes to this, it doesn't matter whether Sima Yi leaked it or not.
After all, it is still unknown whether he Lu Meng was still alive at that time.
Lu Meng turned his head to look at the imposing conference hall on the steps, thinking of the Jiangdong Supreme in the conference hall, Lu Meng's thoughts in his heart were firm again.
Among the reasons why he strongly recommended Sun Quan to capture Jingzhou, among the reasons he just said in the council chamber, one of the most important was actually that:
Now is not in the strong time, once the stiff servant, want to regain the strength, can it be evil?
No one knew his body better than himself, and his days were numbered.
Lu Meng came from a humble background, and he suffered from white eyes since he was a child.
Although Lü Meng served when Sun Ce was in charge of Jiangdong, it was Sun Quan who really appreciated him and spared no effort to promote him.
I still remember that back then, Sun Quan stroked his back and earnestly admonished him:
Qing is now in charge of affairs, and it is advisable to learn to benefit himself. Why don't you encourage yourself?
If it weren't for Sun Quan's disregard for the grace of respecting and persuading him to learn, there would be no Lu Ziming who should be impressed by him today.
This kind of kindness has always been remembered by Lu Meng, who has been bullied since childhood.
Now that he has little time, it is time for him to repay Sun Quan.
If he can win this time and capture Guan Yu, then let him personally remove this confidant for his master.
If Mi Yang knew that Jiangdong's deer cooking troupe, with Lu Meng's efforts, had added Sima Yi's great talent, Mi Yang would definitely scold angrily:
"This guy doesn't talk about martial arts."
"No wonder it's short-lived."
...
Wang Hong and a few soldiers who protected him, after a long journey for a period of time, and after a lot of hardships, finally came to the main gathering place of Wuximan.
Although the Wuxi Barbarians are the entire tribe, they are distributed according to the five streams in Wuling County.
But in fact, the main tribes of Wuxi Man are mainly gathered in the Xiongxi area.
And Shamoke, who is the king of Wuxi Barbarians, also lives near Xiongxi.
Wuxi has a long history, and unlike the Han people, who were men and women weaving, they mainly lived by fishing and hunting.
Because there is no concept of farming and weaving in the clan, once the winter season is not suitable for fishing and hunting, the life of the whole tribe will become very difficult.
But also because of the hardships of life, he has developed a brave and ruthless character in Wuxi.
Wuxi Man has long coexisted with wild beasts in the mountains and forests, and their sentinels bear the burden of guarding against the sneak attacks of wild beasts.
The traces of wild beasts in the mountains and forests can be easily discovered by these sentinels, not to mention Wang Hong, a few people who have broken into the territory of Wuxi Barbarians.
Therefore, when Wang Hong and the others walked through the jungle to the vicinity of Xiongxi, they were immediately discovered by the sentinels of Wuxi Man.
The sentinels of Wuxi Man were armed with bamboo spears, dressed in animal skins, and their heads were scattered.
They were covered with strange tattoos, and as soon as they found the traces of Wang Hong and the others, they immediately jumped down from the trees and surrounded Wang Hong and the others.
Seeing that it was not a beast attacking, the sentinels of Wuxi Barbarian also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
But Wang Hong's faces also made them vigilant.
There were more than forty of these sentinels.
When they were young, they were often surrounded and suppressed by the officers and soldiers in Wuling County.
Although in recent years, because the barbarian king Shamoke admires the demeanor of the Han Dynasty, the relationship with the Wuling County government has been much better, but they will not be less vigilant.
Seeing that he was pointed at by a few sentries like savages with bamboo guns, Wang An, who was guarding Wang Hong, and several other soldiers, instantly pulled Wang Hong behind him to protect him.
But this scene made Wang Hong dissatisfied.
He was instructed by Mi Yang, the former general of the Han Dynasty, to come to envoy Shamoke.
No matter how you say it, he's also a messenger, so what's the matter with hiding behind.
Wang Hong removed the protection of Wang An and came to the sentry of Wuxi Man.
Then he bowed to the dozen or so brutes who surrounded him, and said after bowing,
"I am a messenger of the imperial court, and now I am ordered by the imperial court to visit the king of Wuxi barbarians, and I hope that you will introduce you on your behalf."
Wang Hong, as a child of the scholar clan, his greeting etiquette and words are not standard, but it is a pity that he used the wrong object.
I saw the little leader of the Wuxi Man Sentinel opposite him, and after listening to Wang Hong's self-introduction, a confused look appeared on his face.
Then the little leader spoke,
"Gurgling Flower Dew ......"
Wang Hong: ???
The peculiar pronunciation and even more peculiar speech of the small leader of the barbarian tribe made Wang Hong suddenly shut down.
On his first mission, he seemed to have overlooked a very important matter.
Doesn't it mean that Wuxi admires Han culture from top to bottom?
I've already admired it, so let's learn Chinese!
