Chapter 638: Nanban (2)
Meng Shu rushed out of the county guard's mansion, and at a glance he saw a scribe dressed in Confucian costumes, running in front of the other party in three steps and two steps, grabbing the other party's arms violently, and shouting at the top of his voice: "Where is my wife?" Say it! ”
The envoy only felt as if his arms were tightly clasped by a pair of iron zhaos, and it was extremely painful, but he pretended to be calm, "King, please let go of your hands!" ”
"My lord, how do you speak to the messenger like this?" Meng You hurriedly came up and persuaded.
Meng Shu let go of the envoy and shouted murderously with his eyes in his eyes: "Say! Where's my wife? ”
The envoy slowly straightened his clothes and replied, "Lady Zhurong is now the guest of honor of His Majesty the Emperor!" ”
Meng was stunned, he thought that the other party would use Mrs. Zhurong to kill himself.
"What do you mean?"
The messenger took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Meng Shu: This is a handwritten letter from Mrs. Zhurong, please look at it from the king. ”
Meng Shu hurriedly took it and looked at it, and saw that it was really Mrs. Zhurong's handwriting, and couldn't help but get excited, after reading the letter, Meng Shu couldn't help but show doubts, waved the letter in his hand, and asked the messenger: "What does this mean?" ”
The envoy smiled and asked, "Doesn't the king know what Mrs. Zhurong means?" ”
"Of course I know, but I will never shake hands with the Han people!" Meng Shouhu said in a deep voice.
The envoy was shocked: "King, the tens of thousands of troops under your command have been wiped out!" Do you want to see the lives of both peoples because of your decision? ”
Meng was stunned and shouted, "Shut up!" I, Meng Huo, will not give in even if I have only the last soldier left! ’
The envoy frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Doesn't the king listen to Mrs. Zhurong's advice?" ”
Meng Shu smiled coldly and glanced at the letter in his hand. He said in a deep voice: "This letter must have been forged by you!" Madame would never say such a thing! ”
"In that case, the envoy has nothing more to say. The king wants to kill the envoy and sacrifice the flag? ”
Meng Shu said proudly: "Although I, Meng Shu, am a barbarian, I also know the truth that the two countries do not fight each other!" Let's go. Tell your emperor that we will never bow to him! ”
The envoy couldn't help but sigh, hugged his fist at Meng Shu, and left.
"Big brother, are you really, really deciding to fight the Wei people to the end?" Meng You asked with a pale face.
Meng Shu nodded firmly, crumpled the letter in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "I must rescue Madame!" ”
Meng You hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Big brother." What if this letter is indeed the lady's own letter? ”
Meng was stunned and shouted, "Don't talk nonsense!" ”
Meng You's heart sank, and he hurriedly agreed.
"By the way, is there any news from the country of Ugo?" Meng Shu asked.
Meng You shook his head and said, "Not yet, but it should be soon!" ”
Meng Shu frowned and said, "If we can borrow the Vine Armor Army, then we still have a chance to win!" ”
Meng You seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, he wanted to say that even if this battle was won, it would still fail in the end, and Great Wei sat on most of the world. With millions of soldiers, if it makes a comeback, the momentum will be unstoppable!
At this time, a personal soldier hurried over.
"The King. Reinforcements from the country of Ugo have arrived! The soldiers' expressions were extremely excited.
Meng Huo's eyes lit up, and he grabbed the arm of his own soldier and asked urgently, "Where is it?" ”
"Just outside the city!"
Meng Yu hurriedly ordered his subordinates to bring his war horse and step on the war horse. Speeding towards the outside of the city, Meng You and dozens of others followed closely beside him.
The group rushed out of the city gates. I saw that there was a black oppression in the wilderness outside the city, and there were tens of thousands of people. Everyone was dressed in rattan armor and exuded a fierce atmosphere, but the scene was very noisy and there seemed to be no discipline.
A person came to Meng Shu and made a flat salute: "King." ”
Meng Shu immediately replied with a salute, and said excitedly: "The Great King of the Vulture Bone has led the vine armor elite soldiers to come, and he will definitely be able to defeat the Wei army."
The vulture smiled quite smugly, led Meng Shu to the front of the military formation, pointed to the tens of thousands of troops under his command and said proudly: "There are 30,000 vine armor troops here, I believe that we will be able to annihilate the Wei army!" ”
Meng Shu nodded excitedly and said to the vulture: "Without further ado, we will march to the city capital tomorrow!" ”
The vulture bone smiled: "Just according to the king!" ”
Early the next morning, the 60,000 vine armor army of the vulture bones and the more than 10,000 remnants of Meng Shu's army poured out and marched towards the city.
Around the same time, Cao Cao received relevant information.
"Sure enough, as Yuan Hao expected!" Cao Cao smiled and handed the letter in his hand to Tian Feng on the side.
After Tian Feng read the short note, he smiled and said to Cao Cao: "Your Majesty knows that Meng Shu may not give up, but he transferred the First Army back to Jingzhou, it seems that Your Majesty is confident!" ”
Cao Cao said with a smile: "Meng Huo's strength among the Nanzhong barbarians is the strongest, and his army has been completely wiped out in the previous battle, so even if Meng Shu gathers all the forces of the Nanzhong barbarians, it is impossible to compete with the 50,000 elite soldiers of my Fifth Legion!" ”
Tian Feng nodded approvingly and said, "What Your Majesty said is extremely true!" ”
Then he pondered: "Wei Chen heard that although the armor of this vine armor army is made of vines, it is extremely tough and invulnerable!" And it doesn't sink in water! Although Weichen thinks that this rumor may be a little untrue, we must be prepared in advance! ”
Cao Cao smiled and said, "This is not a rumor, this is the truth!" ”
Tian Feng was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly, "How can Your Majesty be so sure?" ”
Cao Cao smiled: "This is not a problem, what we have to consider now is how to annihilate this vine armor army, Tian Aiqing, what good way do you have?" ”
Tian Feng thought for a moment and replied: "Everything in the world is mutually reinforcing, and there is no taboo thing!" Since this rattan armor is not afraid of water, then it must be afraid of fire! ”
Cao Cao couldn't help but high-five: "Hahaha, Yuan Hao is Yuan Hao in the end!" It's a perfect match for me! ”
"Your Majesty has won the prize!" Tian Feng smiled and said humbly.
Cao Cao walked to the sand table under the hall, looked at the terrain in the middle of the river and thought: "According to the footsteps, Meng Shu and they should cross the Hori River in two days, so that Wu Yi can lead his 30,000 soldiers to fight, and Ma Chao will lead 50,000 soldiers of the Fifth Army to ambush in this hill, prepare more sulfur rockets, Yuan Hao, what do you think?" ”
Tian Feng thought for a moment, hugged his fists at Cao Cao and said, "Your Majesty is wise!" ”
"Since Yuan Hao has no objection, then let's do it."
Immediately, Cao Cao ordered people to call Wu Yi, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun and other generals.
Cao Cao first explained the current situation to the generals, Ma Chao and Zhao Yun immediately went out to ask for battle, and then all the generals came out to ask for battle.
Cao Cao said with a smile: "The generals are loyal and brave, and I am very relieved!" However, I have already made a decision! ”
Immediately, his expression changed and he called: "General Wu! ”
Wu Yi's expression perked up, and Hong Sheng promised: "The end will be!" (To be continued.) )
