Meng Huo picked up his big sword and planned to charge forward.
Mrs. Zhu Rong hurriedly stopped in front of him, frowned and said,
"The behavior of the Wei army today is too strange. The Barbarian King must not be careless!"
Even Meng Huo's younger brother Meng You, who was standing by, also gave good advice,
"The princess is absolutely right, Barbarian King, don't be impulsive!"
"Hey, don't worry, I still don't take Cao Wei's troops seriously!"
After Meng Huo finished speaking, he ignored the obstruction of Mrs. Zhu Rong and Meng You, picked up his weapons, and rushed forward with a group of barbarians!
Following Yang Ling's instructions, Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen pretended to be defeated and retreated into the distance.
In order to be more realistic and avoid suspicion by Meng Huo and other barbarians, they deliberately dropped a lot of military equipment along the road to pretend to be defeated.
Originally, Meng Huo still remembered the instructions given by Mrs. Zhu Rong and Meng You, but when he saw Wei Jun in such a panic, he completely relaxed his vigilance.
In this way, the Wei army ran in front, and the Nanman people chased behind.
But in the blink of an eye, both sides ran away for several miles.
At the same time, Mrs. Zhu Rong, who was waiting at the back, frowned slightly and felt a little uneasy.
She told Meng You,
"Take the people there yourself and call your eldest brother back!"
"Here!"
Meng You did not dare to neglect, so he led a group of troops and chased in the direction of Meng Huo and others.
However, in the dense forest not far from Mrs. Zhu Rong and other Southern Barbarians, Jiang Wei, Guan Qiujian, and Guo Huai were staring at them closely.
Behind the three men were thousands of elite Wei troops.
"General Boyo, do we want to take action?"
Guo Huai asked for instructions.
Originally, according to Yang Ling's plan, when the Southern Barbarians were chasing Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, Jiang Wei and the others came out from behind, catching the Southern Barbarians by surprise.
What Jiang Wei and others did not expect was that Meng Huo took away most of the barbarians, but there was still a group of barbarians left to garrison in place.
Jiang Wei touched his chin and pondered for a moment. When he saw Mrs. Zhu Rong, who stood out among the Nanman people like a chicken, his eyes suddenly lit up!
"We must take action! Have you seen that female barbarian?"
Following the direction of Jiang Wei's finger, Guan Qiujian and Guo Huai looked over and nodded.
"Remember not to hurt her, be sure to capture her alive!"
"Why?"
Guanqiu Jian said in surprise.
"Hey, brother Zhong Gong doesn't know something."
Guo Huai on the side showed an ambiguous smile,
"Although the King of Qi has brilliant strategies and unparalleled talents, he shares the same hobby with Emperor Wu and likes beautiful women."
"Just now I saw that this female barbarian has been following the Nanman King. I guess she is the barbarian king's princess."
"Wouldn't it be a beautiful thing to capture her alive and present her to His Highness King Qi?"
When Guanqiu Jian heard this, he suddenly understood.
"I see!"
"Boji is really smart!"
Jiang Wei glanced at Guo Huai appreciatively, nodded and said,
"You also order us to go down and remember to capture her alive!"
"Here!"
The two clasped their fists and accepted the order.
After Jiang Wei's instructions were passed on, Wei Jun no longer hesitated and immediately came out from hiding!
After waiting for a long time to see Meng Huo return, Mrs. Zhu Rong was already a little anxious.
At this moment, she suddenly heard a crashing sound coming from the jungle behind her. When she turned around, she saw a large number of Wei troops coming to kill them!
"There are enemies, prepare to fight!"
Mrs. Zhu Rong's pretty face changed, and she immediately shouted in a sweet voice.
The Southern Barbarians had poor military discipline, and they thought that the Wei army was being chased by Meng Huo's troops, so they had no defense at all.
They were killed by surprise, and the Wei army attacked their army in an instant.
Fortunately, the southern barbarians are fierce by nature. After reacting, they immediately picked up their weapons and fought bloody battles with the Wei army!
It's just that although they are tough, their armor and combat qualities are far inferior to those of the Wei army.
Therefore, the two sides fought for only a moment before the Nanman people fell into devolution.
Seeing this situation, Mrs. Zhu Rong became anxious, pulled out her eight-foot long stick, and planned to join the battlefield.
However, at this time, Jiang Wei held a spear and blocked her way.
"She is quite pretty, but I wonder if my teacher would like a dark beauty like you?"
Jiang Wei looked at Mrs. Zhu Rong up and down and chuckled.
Hearing his frivolous words, Mrs. Zhu Rong was furious and scolded,
"Who are you?"
"I am Jiang Wei, the general of Wei State, and the current King of Qi is my teacher!"
Jiang Wei said loudly.
Although she had lived in the southern barbarian land for a long time, Mrs. Zhu Rong had heard of Yang Ling's name before setting off.
Her almond-shaped eyes widened and she sneered,
"It turns out that he is the apprentice of the lustful Yang Ling, no wonder he is so frivolous! He is really the same person!"
Jiang Wei didn't get angry when she scolded him, he just laughed and said,
"When I capture you and present it to the teacher, let's see if you are still so stubborn!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his spear and stabbed Mrs. Zhu Rong suddenly!
Seeing that his spear was like a dragon, with astonishing momentum, Mrs. Zhu Rong did not dare to be careless. She raised her eight-foot long standard and started fighting with him!
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, although there are many female generals, only Mrs. Zhu Rong has ever been on the battlefield.
When she went into battle for Meng Huo, she first wounded Zhang Ni with a flying knife, and then captured Ma Zhong with a tripping horse rope.
But because he couldn't stand the provocation of Zhao Yun and Wei Yan, he finally went deep into the enemy's trap and was captured by Ma Dai with a trip horse rope.
It can be seen from this that Mrs. Zhu Rong is not a showman!
Although Jiang Wei was far superior to Mrs. Zhu Rong, he wanted to capture Mrs. Zhu Rong alive and present her to Yang Ling, so his men were quite merciful.
For a moment, the two were fighting evenly.
It's just that the two of them were fighting hard to separate each other, but the barbarian soldiers on the side were complaining incessantly.
They were no match for the Wei army, and together with the two fierce generals Guanqiu Jian and Guo Huai, they charged and killed them wantonly.
It didn’t take long for the Southern Barbarians to suffer heavy casualties!
Listening to the screams from the tribesmen around her, Mrs. Zhu Rong was so confused that the movements of her hands were unavoidably slow for a moment.
Jiang Wei seized this opportunity and fired a horizontal shot at him.
Mrs. Zhu Rong's reaction was half a beat too slow and she was knocked to the ground.
Just as she was about to struggle to get up, Wei Jun, who had been waiting on both sides for a long time, swarmed up and trapped her with a fishing net!
After their leader, Mrs. Zhu Rong, was captured alive, the remaining Nanman people also had no fighting spirit.
Either choose to surrender, or retreat hastily towards Meng Huo and others!
Jiang Wei was too lazy to pursue the deserters, ordered the battlefield to be cleaned, and then left with Mrs. Zhu Rong and a group of Southern Barbarian prisoners.
…
"Barbarian...Barbarian King, something is wrong...these Wei troops...seem to be leading us in circles..."
The cave owner who brought him said he was panting from exhaustion.
Meng Huo stopped and held the golden-backed mountain knife in his hand, muttering in his heart.
Just when he was hesitating whether to pursue or not, Meng You and his men chased him from behind.
"King Barbarian, the princess told you to retreat immediately!"
