"Young master is not an ordinary person. Since he said he can do it, he can do it." Li Ming said firmly.
"oh?"
Princess Zhu Rong was curious, and she said: "There are nearly a million barbarians in the four counties of Nanzhong. I heard that Uncle Liu Huang was confronting Cao Cheng in Hanzhong. There shouldn't be many soldiers in Chengdu now. Young Master Liu Chan wants to do it in a short time." How can we pacify Nanzhong without a large army?"
"Hahaha~"
Li Ming laughed loudly and said: "When my Lord was born, he looked very handsome, with dragon bells ringing, scales and inscriptions all over his body, a rainbow-lit candle room, white air filling the courtyard, well water overflowing, and purple air coming out of the window. It was magical. Extraordinary. He could speak at the age of one, could write poems at the age of three, developed Su Hui at the age of five, and dedicated words to General Zuo. He already had a photographic memory.
When he arrived in Chengdu, he used Changyu as an incision and benefited the hearts of the people of the state. All powerful nobles were convinced. During the spring plowing, he got a dream from the god Luban and built a curved shaft plow and a barrel cart, which doubled the number of fields cultivated and dealt with the salt and iron matters. The creation recognized the earth's atmosphere and boiled salt with a new method, especially the salt production increased tenfold. Then the immortal showed the way and learned that the general in the south was rebelling, so he made arrangements first. The princess could release the scouts. Now Yuexun County is in the hands of the prince! "
After hearing Liu Chan's deeds, Princess Zhu Rong secretly smacked her tongue.
According to what Li Ming said, this young master Liu Chan was born to be a nobleman and a man of great fortune.
"These are just your words and cannot be trusted."
Li Ming laughed again.
"Princess, if you don't believe it, why not send an envoy to verify it? If I tell any lies, I will be killed by the barbarian god!"
The Barbarian God is the belief of the barbarians. For the Nanzhong barbarians, swearing by the Barbarian God can be said to be the most poisonous oath.
"If that's the case, why should I help Young Master Liu Chan? He is a Han and I am a barbarian!"
"I heard that the Barbarian King is seriously ill, and Meng Huo, the leader of the barbarians in Yizhou County, covets the position of the Barbarian King, but?"
Among the pink curtains, Princess Zhu Rong was shocked.
How could the businessman in front of him find out that her father, the Barbarian King Zhu Rong, was seriously ill?
She has blocked the news!
"How did you learn about this news?"
"Is it possible that Meng Huo doesn't know the news that I, a businessman, have learned? I heard that he has fans in the Dali Royal City, and he has been coveting the beauty of the princess for a long time. Is the princess willing to be controlled by him?"
Meng Huo did pursue her.
She also met Meng Huo several times.
to be honest...
She looked down upon Meng Huo.
He was tall and thick-set, covered in hair, and had dark skin, like a wild boar in the mountains. His mannerisms and manners were rude, and when he saw her, his lustful and greedy look made her nauseous!
The barbarians also admired force. As the daughter of King Zhu Rong, Princess Zhu Rong was not only strong in martial arts, but also arrogant. Meng Huo's martial arts was average. He could barely defeat her javelin with the help of his elder brother, but he could not dodge her flying knife. , but she looked down upon Meng Huo.
Her father, King Man, was seriously ill. If there was no variable like the young master Liu Chan, she might have to accept a fate she didn't like.
But if it is true as the traveling businessman Li Ming said, then with the help of young master Liu Chan, destiny may not be changed!
Princess Zhu Rong clenched her pink fists tightly and made up her mind.
"If I help him, what should I do?"
Li Ming was overjoyed when he heard Princess Zhu Rong relent and presented him with another letter from Liu Chan.
"The young master has already anticipated this. The princess will know what to do after reading the contents of this letter."
....
Yizhou County, Heqing Walled City.
In the hospitality lobby.
Yong Kai looked at his son and the young man in white in front of his son Yong Xiong, the joy on his face was beyond words.
"So, Sun Quan...oh no, the Lord of Jiangdong agreed?"
Yong Xiong had a look of contentment on his face.
"Father, don't worry. Lord Wu of Jiangdong is willing to support us. We have food, grass, weapons, men and horses."
"Hahaha~"
Yong Kai laughed loudly and said: "With the support of Jiangdong, I have all the four counties of Nanzhong in my hands!"
He still doesn't know that Yuexun County is in Liu Chan's hands, but he is thinking about his spring and autumn dream!
"Who is this..."
After Yong Kai laughed twice, he fixed his gaze on the young man in white in front of Yong Xiong.
"This is a new upstart from Jiangdong. He is from the Lu family in Jiangdong, and his name is Lu Xun!"
Yong Xiong introduced on the side.
Lu Xun?
Yong Kai's mind turned and he found that there was no information about Lu Xun in his memory.
Just a nobody!
Yong Kai was disdainful in his heart, but naturally he did not dare to show contempt on his face.
"It turns out to be a talented man from Jiangdong. I'm disrespectful. Please sit down!"
How could Lu Xun not know Yong Kai's inner thoughts?
However, causing turmoil in Nanzhong would be beneficial to Jiangdong. Although he looked down on Yong Kai, he had to sit down patiently.
"I wonder when food, grass, ordnance, and Jiangdong's army will arrive?"
What Yong Kai needs most now is substantial support!
Lu Xun picked up the wine bottle in front of him, looked at the turbid wine bubbles on it, and put the wine bottle down again.
"Food, grass and ordnance will arrive in ten days. As for the Jiangdong army, I'm afraid they can only send 3,000 people at most."
Three thousand people?
The smile on Yong Kai's face gradually disappeared.
He, Yong Kai, has been plotting rebellion for many years. He has hoarded grain and grass, which is enough for 50,000 people for ten years. And ordnance is enough to equip an army of 50,000 people. In fact, he has no shortage of grain, grass, ordnance, but he is short of people!
In Yizhou County, he could pull up a team of ten thousand people, but ten thousand people was still too few.
If he wanted Meng Huo to surrender, he would naturally need Jiangdong's support.
But only three thousand people?
What's the use of three thousand people? !
"Could it be that the envoy is looking for my pleasure? Three thousand people scattered across the four counties of Nanzhong can't make any trouble. I have more than ten thousand soldiers under my command."
"Haha, my three thousand men are all elite. If we were to fight against ten thousand of you, we still don't know who would win."
Not yet known?
What an arrogant boy!
Yong Kai's face darkened.
"I think it is better for the envoy to go back and tell your lord to send more troops. If your lord is not sincere, why should I change my court and continue to be a minister under Emperor Liu's rule?"
As expected, the barbarians are so arrogant!
Deep down in his heart, Lu Xun also looked down on Yong Kai.
"I, Jiangdong, have made a covenant with Liu Bei. In the covenant, we will help each other and not stir up trouble. Now that my lord has sent three thousand people here, we cannot use the banner of Jiangdong."
"The so-called covenant, since it can be signed, can be broken!"
Yong Kai snorted coldly and said: "Soldiers are deceitful, and when countries get along with each other, what does honesty mean? Why should Jiangdong deceive itself? What else are you thinking about if you don't take advantage of Liu Bei's trap in Hanzhong, use a large army to recover Jingzhou, and plan for Nanzhong? The matter of the covenant is really Jiangdong..."
Although Yong Kai was angry in his heart, he finally swallowed the word "rat" and did not dare to say it out.
But even so, Lu Xun's face had become very ugly.
"I will discuss the matter of increasing the troops with my lord, but are you proceeding with the matter of raising the troops?"
Conflict with Yongkai would not be beneficial to him, Lu Xun, nor would it be beneficial to Jiangdong's overall situation.
Lu Xun chose to take a step back.
"Zhu Bao, the governor of Xianzhou County, Gaoding, the king of Yizhou in Yuexi, and the barbarian leader Meng Huo, have all sent responses. When I stir up the situation in Yizhou County, they will raise troops to join in. By then, all the four counties in the south will raise troops. If Jiangdong can If we send ten thousand elite troops, I will dare to lead the army out of Nanzhong and point my sword at Chengdu!"
Yong Kai was so proud that Lu Xun narrowed his eyes and said, "In this case, the governor of Yizhou should be killed as soon as possible, and a proclamation should be issued to stir up the storm in the south!"
Increase troops?
impossible!
His purpose was to stir up the situation in Yizhou and make it difficult for Liu Bei to leave Hanzhong and get involved in Chengdu.
If Yong Kai's troops are allowed to leave Nanzhong and point their sword at Chengdu, Liu Bei will be attacked from both sides. I'm afraid he will not be Cao Mengde's opponent. How can these Yong Kai soldiers resist Cao's troops?
Will Jiangdong not be defeated by then?
This is not in Jiangdong's interests!
He Jiangdong only needs two words:
balanced!
The three pillars stand against each other, whoever is stronger will beat him!
