While several people were chatting and laughing, they saw Chen Dao hurried in.
"Your Majesty, I just received news that the Nanman King is calling the door from the city!"
After hearing this, Liu Bei, Fazheng and others were stunned at first, and then their hearts sank!
According to the original plan, if Meng got it, it would be at least a month before he could come back.
But now that he has returned to Fucheng so early, he is afraid that something unexpected has happened!
"Quickly, invite him into the city!"
Liu Bei quickly ordered.
Not long after, Meng Huo, his younger brother Meng You and others followed Chen Dao into the lobby.
As soon as he saw Liu Bei, Meng Huo cried sadly and said,
"Your Majesty, you must make the decision for me..."
Seeing that he looked even more embarrassed than before, Liu Bei hurriedly asked,
"King of the Southern Barbarians, didn't I ask you to ambush Cao Wei Liangdao? What's wrong with you?"
"His Majesty the Han Dynasty didn't know something. The Wei army actually knew that we were going to ambush their food road and set up an ambush in advance..."
Meng You on the side sighed helplessly and told Chu Lai all the ins and outs of the matter.
After hearing this, everyone in Shu Han was stunned!
"How is this possible? How could Wei Jun expect you to go in advance?"
Fazheng stared at the Nanman people with his eyes widened and asked.
"We don't know either!"
Meng You was also confused by the game.
"We followed what Da Sima said along the way and only followed the mountain trails. We have never walked on the main road."
"But the Wei army seems to have clairvoyance and ears. Every move we make is noticed by them in advance..."
If it were normal times, everyone in Shu Han would definitely sneer at him.
But after they failed to ambush the Wei army and lost Liu Feng's life in vain, they all felt that something was wrong.
"Is it possible that Yang Ling has invented some treasure that can detect the movements of our army?"
Jian Yong touched his chin and said in deep thought.
"It's not impossible. This person has always been talented and proficient in strange skills."
Liu Bei sighed slightly,
"If this is true, we must be careful in the future."
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Seeing them changing the topic, Meng Huo suddenly became anxious.
"My woman has fallen into Yang Ling's hands. Your Majesty must make the decision for me..."
When everyone heard this, their faces turned dark.
Now that the Wei army is pressing down on the border, Yizhou may not be able to be saved. You want us to save your wife?
Liu Bei coughed lightly,
"This matter is important. I need to discuss it carefully with all the court officials."
"If Your Majesty continues to discuss it, I'm afraid my woman's innocence will be compromised..."
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, their expressions were extremely strange.
Everyone present did not know that Yang Ling, like his father-in-law Cao Cao, had always liked women.
Mrs. Zhu Rong has been in Yang Ling's hands for so long, she may have already turned into his shape!
But seeing Meng Huo so unwilling and angry, everyone couldn't say anything.
"King of the Southern Barbarians, we are also extremely angry, but the war is tense right now, and this matter needs to be discussed in the long term."
Fazheng comforted Meng Huo with a few words, and then winked at the people on the side.
Everyone also talked about comforting Meng Huo.
Meng Huo also knew in his heart that it was impossible for Liu Bei to send troops to rescue Mrs. Zhu Rong!
After everyone's persuasion, he stood up unwillingly and left with Meng You and others.
"This Meng Huo is a bit ignorant of the heights of the world."
"Even a mere woman has the nerve to ask His Majesty to send troops to rescue her?"
After Meng Huo left, some courtiers snorted disdainfully.
Just kidding, His Majesty's fiancée, wife, and Prime Minister's fiancée were all snatched away by Yang Ling.
Your Majesty and the Prime Minister said nothing. Why did you, Meng Huo, ask Your Majesty to send troops?
"Okay, let's put this matter aside for now."
Although Meng Huo returned with a disastrous defeat, there were still hundreds of thousands of Nanman people behind Yizhou.
These southern barbarian people are tough and advocating force. As long as they are recruited, they will become an elite army.
Therefore, Liu Bei still had to maintain a polite attitude towards Meng Huo.
At this moment, another guard hurriedly broke into the lobby.
"Your Majesty, there is news from the scouts ahead that the vanguard of the Wei army is rapidly marching towards Fucheng!"
"They can arrive outside the city early tomorrow morning at the latest!"
"What?!"
Liu Bei and others were suddenly shocked!
They did not expect that the Wei army, which had been stationary before, would be so fierce at this time!
"Mr. Xiao Nao, third brother, please quickly prepare your troops and prepare to face the enemy!"
Liu Bei quickly ordered.
"Here!"
After receiving the military order, everyone immediately dispersed to prepare for the fierce battle the next day.
…
Let’s talk about Meng Huo on the other side.
He took the remaining few hundred people with him and returned to the Nanman camp dejectedly.
Thinking of Mrs. Zhu Rong being captured by Yang Ling again, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
"Young thief, I have to bark at you!"
At this moment, Meng You suddenly walked in with a happy face,
"Brother, sister-in-law is back!"
"What?"
Meng Huo couldn't believe his ears.
But who walked in right behind Meng You, if not Mrs. Zhu Rong?
"Madam, you...you're actually back?!"
Meng Huo stood up excitedly and planned to step forward and hold Mrs. Zhu Rong's hand.
But Mrs. Zhu Rong just turned slightly to avoid him.
"King Barbarian, I'm... a little tired and want to go back and rest."
"This... Madam, please do as you please."
Meng Huo froze with his hands in the air, his expression a little embarrassed.
Mrs. Zhu Rong nodded, then turned and left.
After she left, Meng Huo's face instantly darkened.
"Looking at my sister-in-law's situation, something seems to be wrong..."
Meng You whispered.
Meng Huo is not a fool.
Judging from Mrs. Zhu Rong's attitude towards him, it is very likely that she has changed her mind!
"We were ambushed by the Wei army that night. After my investigation afterwards, it seemed that the Wei army came from the camp of the Zhu Rong tribe."
"Moreover, our people suffered heavy casualties, but the Zhu Rong clan did not suffer many casualties. Most of them were captured alive by the Wei army."
"The most important thing is that when my sister-in-law came back this time, she didn't see her brother bringing the cave master."
"Perhaps the Zhu Rong tribe has already taken refuge in Wei..."
After hearing Meng You's words, Meng Huo's expression changed.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice,
"I know this well. If she really rebels and surrenders to the enemy, I will never spare her!"
Meng You nodded and said nothing more.
…
Early the next morning, as the spies reported, the mighty Wei army arrived in Fucheng.
Seeing the Wei army, which was lined with swords and spears, in neat military appearance, and exuding a murderous atmosphere soaring to the sky, the faces of the Shu Han people on the city wall, as well as Meng Huo and other southern barbarians all changed!
Mrs. Zhu Rong looked at the Wei army and subconsciously searched for Yang Ling.
At this moment, a rider was seen riding out. It was Yang Ling's disciple Deng Ai.
