"The problem is on the target!" The arrow target was in front of everyone, Liu Yin looked at the arrow target for a while, and said to Deng Ai.

"Target?" Deng Ai looked at the arrow target when he heard this, and after observing the arrow target, he showed a hint of surprise.

It turns out that this time the arrow target for this trial is a grass target, the craftsmanship of the Nanzhong barbarians is not very good, this grass target is very rough, it is not tight, there are many gaps, ordinary people can only detect the gaps at close range, but Liu Chan's eyesight is far beyond others, even if it is thirty steps apart, you can see this gap.

The arrow he shot was shot into the gap, which had a lot less resistance, so that the arrow could completely penetrate the target.

Liu Chan put down the longbow in his hand and said to Mu Li and the others: "You lost!" ”

"We didn't lose!" Mu Li's face changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "I said before, if you want to marry a princess and convince us, you have to defeat us, you just defeated one of my brute soldiers, what is there to be proud of, there are so many of us, you haven't defeated it yet." ”

"Heh, as I said before, if you lose, you have to promise me one thing, and now it doesn't count? If so many of your subordinates disobey me, will I defeat them? Liu Chan snorted coldly, looked at Mu Li and shouted: "What's more, I have made a marriage to the princess, I want to marry her, you are in charge, I need to convince you?" You are just a courtier under your father-in-law, can you manage the master's family affairs? ”

Liu Chan can see clearly, this Mu Li and Meng Shu are the same kind of people, and they don't need to be cheeky at all, even if he continues to compete and defeats them with a bow and arrow, maybe Mu Li will propose to test his fists and feet again.

Originally, Liu Chan didn't have the same knowledge as Mu Li in the face of King Zhurong, but Liu Chan looked at it for a while and found that Mu Li didn't have the slightest awe for King Zhurong at all, so he didn't plan to give Mu Li face.

When King Zhurong heard this, he slapped the table and shouted: "Mu Li, have you made enough trouble, and if you don't retreat, the face of my clan has been lost by you." ”

Mu Li ignored King Zhurong and shouted at Liu Chan: "Then you are afraid, the princess will only marry a real warrior, you coward is not worthy of the princess, don't hurry back and drink milk!" ”

"Look for death!" Liu Chan's face sank, and he picked up the longbow beside him again, and instantly completed the action of bending the bow and setting up an arrow, and shot an arrow at Mu Li.

"Ahh Mu Li was caught off guard and was shot in the shoulder by Liu Chan's arrow, screaming in pain.

I saw a flash of silver light, but it was Liu Chan who pulled out the Yitian Sword he was wearing on his waist, stepped on the table in front of him, and his body jumped into the air, and then fell in front of Mu Li, and the Yitian Sword in his hand was already on Mu Li's neck.

"You dare!" The barbarian generals around Mu Li were shocked, and they all drew their weapons and glared at Liu Chan.

Liu Yin, E Huan, Deng Ai and other generals also drew their swords and stood behind Liu Chan.

Liu Chan stared at Mu Li and said coldly: "I thought you would be thick-skinned, but I didn't expect to be the same kind of person as Meng Huo, arrogant and ignorant, dare to insult me?" In that case, you can go down and be a companion to Meng Huo! ”

Mu Li looked at Liu Chan with disdain and said, "You dare to kill me?" If you kill me, you won't be able to get out of here! ”

King Zhurong saw that Liu Chan and Mu Li had already started to move, and he didn't hesitate, and shouted: "This is my territory, I want to see who can't get out!" Come on, they don't respect the son of the world, they don't listen to my orders, take them down for me! ”

"King, you actually helped outsiders to deal with me!" Mu Li was shocked when he heard this, originally he thought that King Zhurong would come to persuade them to reconcile, but he didn't want King Zhurong to be so decisive, so he fell to Liu Chan's side without hesitation.

"Humph! Take them down! Liu Chan gave an order to Deng Ai and the others, then turned around and retreated.

Liu Chan originally wanted to kill Mu Li directly, but he hadn't killed anyone yet, and he didn't want to show his ugliness in front of everyone.

Liu Chan walked to the seat with the Yitian Sword and said to King Zhurong: "Father-in-law, I'm sorry, I originally wanted to convince this person for you, but he didn't speak much, and he insulted his mother, so I couldn't tolerate him." ”

Originally, Liu Chan really wanted to convince Mu Li, but he didn't expect that this Mu Li's face was as thick as Meng Shu.

Comparing archery skills, Liu Chan is not false at all, even if the people under Mu Li's hands come, no one can compare to him.

It's just that Mu Li wants him to be better than him?

Liu Chan doesn't have the good temper of Zhuge Liang, nor does he have the patience of seven captures and seven verticals, and he doesn't need to use the means of seven captures and seven verticals to convince him.

Mu Li is just the leader of a small tribe, and he can't make any waves.

King Zhurong nodded and said: "This Mu Li is the cousin of the King of Mulu in the south, because the King of Mulu is not under my control, so he doesn't take me seriously, and now he insults his wife, he really deserves to die!" ”

"I see!" Liu Chan nodded.

Liu Yin, Deng Ai, E Huan and others swarmed up, and the barbarian generals who were not satisfied with Liu Chan were captured alive after a while, and the soldiers under their command did not dare to act rashly when they saw that King Zhurong did not stop them.

"You are so bold!" Seeing that everyone was captured, King Zhurong breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Mu Li, who was the leader, and shouted: "Mu Li, you don't take me seriously anymore, you dare to insult the prince, who gave you the guts!" ”

Mu Li looked at King Zhurong and shouted: "You are a timid person like a mouse, you are so stubborn as a Han person, you are not worthy of being a barbarian king at all." ”

King Zhurong was furious and shouted: "Hmph, Mu Li is disrespectful to me, I will push it down and cut it down!" ”

Mu Li was shocked, looked at the other barbarian kings around and shouted: "Look at it, he actually wants to kill me for the sake of the Han people, do you just open your eyes and watch it, Zhu Rong He is not worthy of being a barbarian king at all." ”

It's just that other barbarian kings, barbarian generals have long been afraid of the Shu army in the first battle of Chengdu, and now Liu Bei has led the army back to Chengdu, they are even more afraid of the Shu army, where dare to offend.

As for the barbarian generals under Mu Li's command, as well as the other barbarian kings, seeing that King Zhurong was really angry, and Liu Yin and the others were watching from the sidelines, they didn't dare to say anything, for fear that King Zhurong would anger them.

Mu Li was dragged down, but after a while, there was a scream.

"King Qiyu, Mu Li has been killed!"

King Zhurong nodded with satisfaction, looked at the remaining barbarian kings, and shouted: "You are guilty!" ”

"The king spares his life, the king spares his life!"

Everyone knelt down and kowtowed to apologize.

Liu Chan shook his head, these people are just cheap panic, they don't want to give them face, and they will be soft as soon as they make a move.

King Zhurong looked at Liu Chan and said, "Virtuous son-in-law, it was Mu Li who angered you, and now that he has been killed, these people will spare their lives." ”

Liu Chan nodded and said: "I'm not a person who loves to kill, but they have a very good relationship with Mu Li, and now that Mu Li has been killed, if they go back to rebel, it will be difficult to do." ”

King Zhurong was embarrassed: "Then what should we do with them according to the opinion of the virtuous son-in-law?" ”

Liu Chan said with a smile: "Actually, I came to Nanzhong to meet my father-in-law in addition to another thing. My father-in-law also knew that although my father defeated Cao Cao in Hanzhong last year, compared to Cao Cao, our army was still much worse than Cao Cao. ”

King Zhurong nodded and said, "Well, Cao Cao occupies Kyushu in the world, and he has four or five hundred thousand soldiers and horses under his command, and he is still invincible in the world." ”

Liu Chan continued: "My father learned that the barbarians were brave and good at shooting, so before leaving, my father asked me to select some warriors among the barbarians and form soldiers and horses. ”

"This ......" King Zhurong's face changed when he heard this, and he was embarrassed: "I'm afraid that this is not appropriate, these tribes add up, there are more than 10,000 warriors, if you leave, the strength of our clan will be greatly reduced." ”

"Father-in-law, don't worry, listen to me!" Liu Chan said with a smile: "Now it is also a danger for these people to stay in Nanzhong, and handing them over to me to bring back to Chengdu can also solve this hidden danger, and I don't want these people in vain." ”

King Zhurong's expression moved, and he asked, "Oh? ”

Liu Chan explained: "They are lent to me by my father-in-law, and I will provide a certain amount of food and salt to my father-in-law every year in the future. ”

Now Liu Chan has started to grow corn and sweet potatoes in Nanzhong, and after two or three years, he doesn't have to worry about grain and grass at all.

As for salt, Yizhou has more than half of the reservoir, which is Zigongjing salt.

This Zigongjing salt was mined a hundred years ago during the period of Emperor Zhang, and has been mined for more than 100 years now.

But Liu Chan knew that the inventory of salt in Zigongjing was unimaginable, and it had been mined for 2,000 years in history, and there were more than 10,000 salt wells. By the Ming and Qing dynasties, it could also supply one-tenth of the country's population.

Nowadays, the mining intensity of Zigongjing salt is not large, but after two years, the grain is sufficient, the productivity has been liberated, and with the surplus labor, Liu Chan can mine the well salt on a large scale.

Grain and salt can be obtained within three to five years, but a strong army and horses cannot be obtained in three or five years.

Now with the population under Liu Bei's rule, the army has reached its peak, and it is impossible to expand the army in a short period of time, so Liu Chan can only fight the idea on the barbarians.

In exchange for a little grain and salt for a powerful army and horses, Liu Chan will not lose money in this transaction.

"That's a good thing!"

King Zhurong's eyes lit up, even if he agreed, most of these people disobeyed him, and it was a scourge for him to keep it, and he could still get benefits by handing it over to Liu Chan, why not?

Liu Chan smiled: "Then thank you father-in-law." ”

In fact, in history, the famous Wudang Flying Army was formed by barbarians, and made great achievements for Shu Han, and its combat effectiveness was extremely strong.

The barbarians are strong, but they don't know the battle array, and if they bring them back to Chengdu for a little training, they are a strong army, and the barbarians have lost so many young and strong, and it is difficult to rebel, which indirectly weakens the strength of the barbarians, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

More than a month has passed, and with the help of Liu Chan, King Zhurong has integrated the tribes that disobey him, and has obtained 10,000 young warriors, and these people King Zhurong gave them to Liu Chan and was temporarily placed in Shuangbai City.

This 10,000-strong army was awarded the name of Wudang Flying Army by Liu Chan.

Liu Chan stayed in the tribe with Shui Luoyi during this time, and Liu Chan will return to Chengdu in a few days, while Shui Luoyi will stay in the barbarian tribe and go to Chengdu to reunite when Liu Chan can get married.

On this day, a soldier suddenly rushed into the barbarian tribe in a hurry: "Shizi, it's not good, the king of Mulu learned that his cousin Mu Li was killed, and led his troops to attack Shuangbai City. ”

When Liu Chan learned of this information, he hurriedly found King Zhurong.

Several people got together.

Liu Chan asked the soldiers, "How many people are under the command of King Mulu?" ”

The soldier arched his hand and said: "There are more than 10,000 people, and now they are attacking Shuangbai City, and Guard Lin specially ordered me to come out to report the news." ”

Liu Chan nodded, and asked King Zhurong, "Where is the territory of this Mulu King?" Are all these 10,000 people his? ”

Zhu Rong was originally pale with fright when he heard the news, but seeing that Liu Chan was not panicked, he couldn't help but sigh a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "King Mulu is in the south of my clan's land, and he does not belong to Nanzhong, and he was also separated from my branch before, and there are more than 20,000 warriors under his command." Son-in-law, now there are only a few thousand people in my tribe, and the other soldiers and horses are scattered all over the place. ”

Liu Chan analyzed: "It seems that the King of Mulu learned that Mu Li was killed, and he came to avenge his brother, and now there are 10,000 Wudang Flying Army in Shuangbai City, and they have not yet attached themselves to me, and now they are going to Chengdu, they are very likely to fall to the King of Mulu, and the King of Mulu wants to take Shuangbai City, get them, and strengthen himself."

Then come to attack this place, father-in-law, it will take at least half a month for the soldiers and horses of the various tribes under your command to gather, and his strength is relatively concentrated, if he succeeds, your power will be swallowed up by him. ”

King Zhurong was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground and muttered, "How is this good!" ”

Liu Chan couldn't help but shake his head when he looked at King Zhurong like this, no wonder the barbarian generals under his command were not convinced by him, except for the high point of vision, other abilities were too weak.

Liu Chan looked at the soldier and asked, "There are no fierce beasts under the command of King Mulu, right?" ”

The soldier shook his head and said, "No! ”

Liu Chan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, this Mulu King is a character in the romance, and the original book says that he can change the weather and command fierce beasts.

Although there are many characters in this world, fortunately, they have not gone beyond the normal category.

If this Mulu King can change the weather and command the beasts like in the romance, it is not easy to deal with, but he only has more than 10,000 rabble now, isn't this a conscription?

It just so happens that Liu Chan is also planning to mine Zigongjing salt on a large scale!
