When Yonghong heard these words of praise from Wang Yan, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Thanks to all of you who can afford to look down on me and are willing to take my head as a horse, this is where I am today." How the court rewards is a matter for the court, and as for you in my heart, it is more important than anyone else. I also ask you not to mind the rewards of the imperial court, as the imperial court will distribute them equally and give them all to you. ”

As soon as the words fell, Gao Ding and Zhu Bao's hearts suddenly felt a great balance, and Yongshun was also complacent and proud, and seemed to be quite useful to Yonghong's words.

When Wang Yan saw such a scene, he thought to himself: "It seems that Yonghong is not a fool, and he knows how to continue to use money to win people's hearts......"

Yonghong saw that the hearts of everyone present had calmed down a little, so he continued: "You have also read the holy decree of the imperial court, in addition to the matter of rewarding, there is another very important thing, that is, the imperial court has sent two large armies to attack Yizhou, and ordered us to lead the troops north, attack Chengdu, and cooperate with the imperial army to fight. I just don't know what your opinions are on this matter? ”

Zhu Bao said: "Our troops are weak, they have already occupied the southern and central counties, we should continue to recruit troops and horses, expand our forces, and Zhang Fei has ordered Wu Yitun to make the county, and his brother Wu Ban has also held the Lingguan Road, has completely blocked the road to the north, if you want to attack Chengdu in the north, you must break through their defense line." But now we have a limited number of troops, and many of them are newly recruited and untrained. It is impossible to be the opponent of Wu Yi and Wu Ban. Not to mention. Wu Yi is also a general in Sichuan. It's extremely difficult to deal with, I'm just afraid that once we send out troops, not only will we lose our troops, but we will also be repelled by Wu Yi, and at that time, those Yi people who rebelled with us will definitely turn against us, and maybe they will also eat us back. That's more than worth the loss. ”

Yongshun arched his hand and said: "Big brother, what Zhu Taishou said is not unreasonable!" ”

Yonghong frowned, turned his face to look at Gao Ding, who was sitting beside him, and asked, "Gao Taishou, what is your opinion?" ”

Gao Ding is the most courageous one among several people, not to mention martial arts, but under his hands there is a very brave general, called E Huan, this person is nine feet long, and he is skilled in bows and horses. Make a mace to open the mountain, and have the courage of ten thousand people. And. Gao Ding's subordinates have the most generals, and they have always been regarded by Yonghong as his right-hand man.

Therefore, Yonghong is most concerned about Gao Ding's opinions.

Gao Ding's face was pale, and his cunning eyes were full of incomparable shrewdness, and when he heard Yonghong ask about this, he said unhurriedly: "Actually, with the current strength of our army, if we want to attack Chengdu in the north, it is indeed a little overwhelmed. However, there is no need for us to lead our own army to attack, we can use the Yi people to fight for us, and after the matter is done, just give some money. You know, the Yi people are fierce, brave and ruthless, the men are almost all strong, and almost born to shoot arrows, among which there are many archers, as long as we can recruit some brave Yi people, commanded by us, fight for us, it is not impossible to attack Chengdu. What's more, the imperial court has already sent a large army, and the soldiers are divided into two ways to attack Zhang Fei, as long as we take the opportunity to move again, we may not be able to get a piece of the pie. ”

After listening to this, Wang Yan also hurriedly said: "General, what Gao Taishou said is not unreasonable, I also think that we should decisively send troops at this time." Now that the imperial court has sent two large armies to attack Zhang Fei, as long as we send another army, we can let Zhang Fei be attacked on three sides. Besides, since we have accepted the reward from the imperial court, we should do things for the imperial court, and we must send troops, as for whether to fight or not, it is another matter, even if we take the army to confront Wu Yi and Wu Ban, it can be regarded as containing part of Zhang Fei's troops for the imperial court, and it is better than standing still. ”

After a pause, Wang Yan noticed a subtle change in the expression on Yonghong's face, as if he was pondering something, one hand kept rubbing his beard, thoughtful.

When Yonghong saw that Wang Yan had stopped, he hurriedly said, "You go on." ”

"Yes!" Wang Yan continued: "If we can lead the army to attack Chengdu, even if we can't attack it, when the imperial army enters Chengdu, we will reward it if we know that our army has contained part of Zhang Fei's forces here in Nanzhong. But if we don't move, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, it is equivalent to not carrying out the orders of the imperial court, then the imperial court will naturally have doubts about our loyalty, it is very likely that we will do everything possible to transfer us away, if we are unwilling, once the stiffen, maybe the imperial court will send a large army to attack Nanzhong, now this day, has tended to be settled, even if we make trouble, there will be no good end, it is better to be loyal to the court and guard Nanzhong for the imperial court, The imperial court may continue to let us stay in Nanzhong, and the hereditary replacement may not be possible. ”

When Yonghong heard about the hereditary repudiation, Yonghong's eyes suddenly released a fine light, as if he saw some hope. Since the ancestors were assigned to Yizhou, the descendants of the Yong family have always kept in mind the ancestral teachings, and the ancestors have never been involved in politics, and have continued the generation of Yonghong. Although he has a lot of wealth, enough for the descendants of the Yong clan to eat, for the ambitious Yonghong, only after seeking benefits in politics can the Yong clan restore the prestige of his ancestor Yongya. What he wants is not only wealth, but also titles, at least he wants to leave a rock-solid foundation for future generations.

There was silence in the hall, everyone had already expressed their opinions, and after weighing the pros and cons, Yonghong immediately made a decision and said to everyone: "Since we have accepted the reward from the imperial court, we must do things for the imperial court." I decided to send troops to the north, attack Chengdu, and strive to capture Chengdu as quickly as possible, so that the army of the imperial court can see that our remote Nanzhong people are not idle! ”

When Zhu Bao and Yongshun heard Yonghong's words, they hurriedly persuaded: "General......"

Without waiting for Zhu Bao and Yongshun to continue, Yonghong said categorically: "I have made up my mind, and those who say more will be beheaded to show the public!" ”

Zhu Bao and Yongshun closed their mouths at this time, although they were not very happy in their hearts, they were helpless, and the two of them looked at Gao Ding and Wang Yan with angry eyes.

Gao Ding and Wang Yan ignored Zhu Bao and Yongshun, and they didn't see them in the face of the vicious gaze they cast.

"Congratulations to the Great General for his wise move." Gao Ding and Wang Yan looked at each other, tacitly, and stood up together and said to Yonghong.

At this moment, one of Yonghong's henchmen hurriedly ran over from outside, whispering something in Yonghong's ear, Yonghong listened, his face sank, and he said in a lost voice: "Please come in!" ”

Gao Ding, Wang Yan, Zhu Bao, and Yongshun all looked suspicious, and after looking at each other, they asked in unison: "General, what happened?" ”

"Meng is here." Yonghong said with a flustered expression.

Meng Huo is a big leader of the Yiren tribe in the Nanzhong region, and the Meng family is the second largest surname in the Nanzhong region, second only to the Yong family.

Meng's and Yong's are the same as the Han people, they are all Han people who were sent here by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but unlike the Yong's, the Meng family has no ancestral training, although the Meng's clansmen do not have the same mind as the Yong's, but they are powerful warriors from generation to generation. Later, the Meng family passed to the grandfather's grandfather's grandfather of Meng Huo, and the Meng family was fortunate to follow the Fubo general Ma Yuan to quell the rebellion in Nanzhong, and was named a general.

After that, the situation in Nanzhong was stable, and the Meng family was not only respected by the Han people, but also admired by the Yi people, and the Meng family often dealt with the Yi people, and over time, the Meng family also allowed intermarriage with the Yi people, and gradually formed a big family across the Yi people and the Han people in Nanzhong.

Meng Huo was born after the marriage of Yi and Han, Meng Huo's father was an orphan of the Yi people, adopted by Meng, and later because several sons of Meng Huo's grandfather died early, he regarded Meng Huo's father as his own, and let his surname Meng, and later married a woman from the Han family and gave birth to Meng Huo.

Who knows, later Meng Huo's father turned out to be the son of the leader of a one-man tribe, and the leader found Meng Huo's father, and after recognizing him, Meng Huo's father inherited the position of the leader and was responsible for commanding this tribe. And Meng Huo also grew up in the Yi tribe and often traveled between the Han people, so Meng Huo was very proficient in the customs and habits of the Yi people and the Han people.

In addition, Meng Huo was born with divine power since he was a child, he was brave and ruthless, and he liked to dance with guns and sticks, so his martial arts were extremely high, and he often acted chivalrous and righteous in Nanzhong, which was quite respected by the Yi people and the Han people.

After the death of Meng Huo's father, Meng Huo inherited his father's position and continued to lead this tribe, and the tribe under the leadership of Meng Huo, learned the strengths of the Han people, discarded the shortcomings of the Yi people, and secretly trained the army, gradually developed and expanded, and repeatedly relied on force to conquer the surrounding tribes, and incorporated them into its tribe, in one fell swoop became the largest tribe in the southern and central regions.

In addition, the leaders of many tribes admired Meng Huo very much, so Meng Huo seemed to have become the leader of the entire Yi people. In private, everyone called Meng Huo the king to show Meng Huo's glory.

Yong's and Meng's were once married, and they can be regarded as relatives, and Yonghong's aunt and grandmother are Meng Huo's grandmother, and the relationship between the two families is also quite good. Therefore, in this rebellion, Yonghong also pulled Meng Huo together, and borrowed Meng Huo's power to achieve his own goals.

Meng Huo suddenly arrived for no reason, Yonghong naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked people to invite Meng Huo in, but then he felt that it was inappropriate, so he took Gao Ding, Zhu Bao, Wang Yan, and Yongshun to the door to greet him in person. (To be continued......)
