In the next two days, the Han army stayed in place, without any intention of continuing to move forward, and King Mulu also did not move, and did not appear in front of the Han army once.
These situations were clearly seen by the secret agents sent by Meng Huo, and finally all of them were reported to Meng Huo's ears.
Meng Shu finally began to sit still, and angrily asked people to call the cave master, and as soon as the cave master appeared in front of him, he yelled at the cave master: "You did a good thing!" ”
The cave master frowned, and a big cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and his heart was like a mirror. Regarding the matter of King Mulu and the Han Army, he was more worried about this matter than Meng Shu, because King Mulu was the person he recommended, and if King Mulu had a little bit of a mistake, even he would be unlucky with him.
Although he mentally knew why Meng Shu came to him, he always pretended not to know on the surface, and asked tentatively: "King, I don't know what I have done, why did I make the king so unhappy?" ”
"What else can there be, of course it's the matter of King Mulu, it's been three days in a row, the Han army has been standing still, and King Mulu has not made any progress, I think he wants to spend it there with the Han army! This war, the sooner it ends, the better, if it drags on for a long time, I am afraid that the people's hearts will be discouraged, and before the fight with the Han army starts, my own people will be in chaos first. Meng Shu said angrily.
Brought the cave ↗ master and said: "King Mulu does not move, I think there must be a reason, don't worry, let me go to him in person to ask for an understanding." ”
"I'll only give you one day, if there is no movement from King Mulu tomorrow. Don't blame me for not recognizing my six relatives! ”
Meng Shu's voice was like thunder. Listen to the master of the cave in the brought. Deafening, he walked out of Meng Shu in a gloomy manner, and hurried straight to the camp of the Mulu King.
King Mulu led his army of the Southern Barbarians to camp at the entrance of the Snake Valley, which was winding and rugged, twisting and turning, as long as five or six miles away, and there were countless poisonous snakes large and small at the bottom of the valley. The army of Meng Huo and others was stationed at the exit of the Snake Valley, where Meng Huo's 100,000 elite troops were gathered. In addition, on the steep cliffs on both sides of the Snake Valley, there were also 50,000 or 60,000 rebels, all of whom were motley troops driven up by Meng Huo, mainly responsible for throwing stones from the cliffs into the valley to snipe the Han army.
However, although the rock walls of Pansnake Valley are covered with thick vegetation, there is no water source and no food to eat, so it is necessary to carry water and food up the mountain from the bottom of the mountain in hanging baskets every day. It's very inconvenient.
The Han army and the King of Mulu did not move for three days, which made it difficult for the rebels in Nanzhong who were ambushed on both sides of the cliff. They spend every moment in torment. Although there are no poisonous snakes and beasts on the cliff, there are a lot of mosquitoes, insects, rats and ants, and most of them are poisonous species, as long as they are bitten by these mosquitoes, insects, rats and ants, there will be a large area of itching and ulceration on the body, and in severe cases, they will foam at the mouth and pass out.
In just three days, four or five hundred people on the cliff have died of serious poisoning, and even the witch doctor who accompanied the army did not have any way, so that the people on the cliff were panicked and disheartened.
Led by a local indigenous resident, the cave master passed through the treacherous place of the Snake Valley smoothly, and when he came to the military camp of the Mulu King, it was already noon.
At this moment, the King of Mulu was eating in the camp, and the cave master did not let anyone report, and directly entered the camp tent, and after seeing that the King of Mulu was eating and drinking, his eyes revealed endless disappointment, and anger from the inside out.
"It's all a catastrophe, and you're still eating and drinking here? Do you know the current situation, the Han army has not moved for three consecutive days, don't forget the purpose of your here! The cave master couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and when he walked in front of the Mulu King, he roared loudly, and his eyes were as wide as copper bells.
When King Mulu saw that the cave master was like this, not only did he not get angry, but laughed out loud. I saw that he threw away the chicken leg in his hand, and a pair of shrewd eyes kept turning around the cave master, as if he was staring at a rare treasure, and kept looking in circles.
The cave master was a little uncomfortable when he was looked at by the Mulu King, and asked, "What do you see me doing?" ”
King Mulu smiled: "I'm worried that I don't have any decent gift for Zhang Liao, the commander of the Han army, to gain his trust in me, just when you rushed over, this is really God help me!" ”
After listening to the cave master, he was stunned for a while, and asked in disbelief, "What did you say?" ”
"My voice is not small, you should be able to hear what I say clearly, and besides, I won't say it a second time." The smile on King Mulu's face dissipated, replaced by a look of disdain, and a fierce gaze burst out of his two eyes.
Seeing this, the cave master has realized his situation, the Mulu King in front of him is no longer the Mulu King he knows, as if he has changed a person, and he also feels an unprecedented sense of crisis, he just wanted to turn around and leave, but he didn't want to take a step slower, the two personal guards of the Mulu King had already rushed up, and directly pressed him down and knelt on the ground, no matter how he struggled, he couldn't struggle.
"Don't struggle, my friend. Both of these men are well-known strongmen in my tribe, unless you don't want your arms anymore. "Mulu King said.
The cave master struggled for a while, knowing that his arms couldn't reach his thighs, so he simply stopped struggling, but he looked at King Mulu with resentment, and asked, "You and I have been friends for many years, is this the end?" ”
King Mulu said: "In the face of interests, even your own biological parents, or brothers and sisters can turn against each other and fight each other, let alone friends?" ”
"What kind of benefits did the Han army give you?" The owner of the cave asked, "What are you going to do with me?" ”
King Mulu said: "What's the benefit...... It's not nothing, but the Han army doesn't give much, and I don't expect anything they can give me, I want far more than they give. Let's just say that what I want, the Han army can't give me, and Meng Shu can't give it to me, so I have to fight for it on my own. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if I don't participate in the battle between the Han army and Meng Huo, and let them fight, and I will do something from it to make them lose both, then you say, who is the final winner? As for you, my friend, for the sake of our acquaintance and friendship for more than ten years, I will leave you a whole corpse, but I have to borrow your head to use it, only in this way will Zhang Liao dispel all my concerns, and then my plan can really be implemented, and it won't be long before I am the king of Nanzhong! ”
It was only at this time that the Cave Master suddenly came to his senses and said to King Mulu: "It turns out that your ambition is so great! ”
"Hahaha, it's not too late for you to know now, at least you can go to the bottom of Jiuquan and tell Meng Shu the truth you know. This time, I not only want the Han army to be wiped out, but also to let Meng Huo and his army die without a place to be buried, and this snake valley is the place where they died! King Mulu said triumphantly.
As soon as the words fell, King Mulu waved his hand, and the two guards under him took the cave master out, and from time to time there was a curse from the cave master, and the Mulu King listened to it in his ears, but he laughed more insidiously.
After a while, but a miserable scream was heard outside the tent, and a guard walked in with a bloody human head, saluted the king of Mulu, and said, "King Qiqi, bring the head of the cave master, please take a look at the king." ”
King Mulu glanced at the person who brought the cave master, sighed softly, and said slowly: "My good friend, don't blame me, if you want to blame, blame you for being Meng Shu's wife and brother." I hope that in the next life, we will be friends again, and I will make up for you when the time comes. ”
After saying this, King Mulu said to his guards: "Wrap the head of the person who brought the cave master in cloth, and then put it in a large wooden box, and send someone to Zhang Liao, the commander of the Han army, to say that it is a meeting gift I dedicated to him." ”
"Whoa!" (To be continued.) )
