Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 358 Meng Huo’s decision

Meng Huo's heart thumped and he secretly said something was wrong.

"This is not the right thing to talk about...I haven't done anything extraordinary, so why am I arousing suspicion? Is it because I have made many friends that made His Majesty suspicious? It seems that I need to be more careful in the future..."

Although there were many detours in his heart, Meng Huo did not show any abnormality on the surface. Instead, he became even more drunk.

"Haha, brother Liu Xian, why did you say this? Meng is fortunate enough to be favored by His Majesty, occupy a high position, and have a big house and land. What's wrong with it?" Meng Huo pretended not to understand and continued to watch the dance and enjoy the music happily.

Seeing Meng Huo's contentment, the head of the Liu family lamented: "Brother Meng is such a heroic figure, how can he indulge in this instead of making great achievements?"

He waved his hand and pointed with a disgusted expression, as if the Meiji mansion in front of him was still an inferior thing.

Meng Huo stopped smiling, put down his wine cup, and waved his hand to stop the music and dance.

The dancers and musicians bowed and retreated, leaving only a few waiters and maids in the room.

Meng Huo said seriously: "Brother Liu Xian, do you know how the current situation in Nanzhong compares with the past?"

Lao Liu was stunned, wondering why Meng Huo's topic suddenly jumped to this point: "Uh... I'm sorry for my ignorance."

Meng Huo showed admiration and pointed to the direction from a distance: "I received a letter from home a few days ago. Although the various tribes in the south and central have sent troops to assist your majesty in the northern expedition, there are also conflicts among the tribes, but they are no longer engaging in war as usual.

"Every place follows the rules set by the prince and the prime minister, and there is good order. There is little bias in the government's judgment of cases. Although the law is strictly enforced, both Han and foreigners are treated equally. The people have no complaints. The labor force of each family has not been greatly reduced compared with the past. Isn't this a great achievement?"

After saying that, he held his hands far away in the north direction: "Thanks to the great favor of the prince, although our Meng family has been defeated, our prestige among all the tribes in the south is even greater than before. In the past, everyone feared our Meng family like a tiger, but now they are afraid and respectful." .

"The ancient trade route planned by the prince is now being reorganized by Han and barbarians in South China. It is estimated that it will be reopened in just a few years! By then, the scene in South China will surely be better than before. Isn't this a great achievement?
  "It is easier to cure diseases, there are fewer living sacrifices and killings, the number of merchants coming and going is increasing day by day, and the fighting between Han and barbarians is decreasing... I, Meng Huo, and the Meng family are fortunate to be involved in this. This is great luck and great luck! How can Meng Huo not know that?" Anyway, you are a person who doesn’t know right from wrong?”

At this point, Meng Huo's eyes welled up with tears. He stood up and bowed emotionally to the north: "Your Majesty is so kind, the prince is so kind, and the prime minister is so kind. The Meng family is willing to be loyal to the Han from generation to generation. With the Meng family here, One day, the Southerners will never rebel again!”

After Meng Huo finished speaking, his face was full of determination, and his heart was very proud.

Although his description of the scenes in Nanzhong was somewhat exaggerated, and the Han and Yi people were not so harmonious that they were as close as brothers, they were indeed much better.

In the past, tribes were constantly fighting each other, and the damage to production and life was indeed greater than the impact of this dispatch of troops.

Nowadays, although various ministries send troops to help, the efficiency has been improved due to the improvement of the production environment and the promotion of advanced agricultural technology. These are all benefits visible to the naked eye.

The world is full of goodwill, and the world is all good.

Now that relying on Liu Han can gain real benefits, the Liu family and his son are also good to him. Why should he rebel? Is he crazy?

This pride comes not only from the current sense of belonging to Liu Han, but also from the gratitude for his wise act of decisive surrender.

And then there's the... pride in my performance just now!

In this way, it’s time for the DPRK and China to dispel their doubts, right? I, Lao Meng, said these heartfelt words, I almost took out my heart and threw it to the ground.

Meng Cheng took a satisfied look at Lao Liu, who was watching his speech the whole time... only to find that Lao Liu's expression was uglier than eating shit. His mouth was open in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

When Meng Huo saw his expression, he was immediately confused.

No way, you said the wrong thing again? No……

The two of them were staring at each other, but Lao Liu finally came to his senses first. He took a sharp breath, stood up resolutely and said to Meng Huo: "Brother Meng, I have a few words from the bottom of my heart... …”

He glanced at the waiter who was still in the room.

With just this move, just this move, Meng Huo immediately stopped panicking.

With his heart in his stomach again, Meng Huo looked up and down at the head of the Liu family, whom he had known for many days, and some of the doubts in his heart were suddenly cleared up.

With an inexplicable smile, he pointed at the waiters and said, "I'm here to borrow my confidants. My dear brother, I have something to say, but there's no harm in saying it."

When Lao Liu heard the words, he no longer avoided taboos and said directly: "Brother Meng, what I said is certainly reasonable, but...how can a man live in such a depressed state for so long?"

Meng Huo still kept smiling and walked around the room with his hands behind his back. He stopped in front of his desk and slowed down his speech: "Brother Liu Xian, what do you mean by this?"

Although Lao Liu deliberately cultivated friendship with Meng Huo, in fact, he looked down on him at all in his heart. He is originally from the Central Plains family and would not have come here unless there were special circumstances.

It was enough to deal with those Yizhou people all day long, so how could he like Meng Huo, a "barbarian" who came from a barbaric land in his eyes?

Seeing Meng Huo smiling at this time, he didn't seem too surprised. He thought Meng Huo had already had this intention, and he was immediately elated.

If he can accomplish this great feat, his Liu family will soar to the sky!
  Lao Liu immediately followed up and whispered quickly next to Meng Huo: "Brother Meng, now you and your clan brothers are trapped in the court. Although you have a high position, you have many constraints. How can you be as good as when you were in Nanzhong?

"The reputation of the Meng family in Nanzhong is indeed growing, but as far as I know, the prestige of the officials in various places in Nanzhong has only increased... If this continues, the Meng family will lose control of Nanzhong sooner or later."

Meng Huo kept smiling and kept silent.

Seeing this, Lao Liu became more energetic: "Hey! Let me tell you the truth, Liu Bei and his son placed your two brothers in the imperial court and recruited the best men of the Meng family to serve as officials in the imperial court. But are they really doing this to you?

"This is obviously because they don't trust the Meng family. They not only want you to be used by them, but also want you to lose contact with Nanzhong! In just one or two generations, the Meng family's children will no longer be as heroic as Brother Meng!"

Meng Huo's smile became even stronger and he said, "Oh? In my opinion, what should I do?"

Lao Liu was delighted, there was a way.

He immediately got closer and lowered his voice again: "Now that Liu Bei, Liu Chan, Zhuge, Fazheng and others are all leading their troops in the Northern Expedition, the Wei Dynasty is so powerful, how can it be shaken by Shu alone?

"This is the way to die. From a certain perspective, the Shu Han will not last long. Brother Meng is a hero and should make plans early."

"Oops!" Meng Huozuo suddenly understood and grabbed Lao Liu with his big hand, "My wise brother's words will make my foolish brother see the sun as if the clouds are clearing. I wonder if my wise brother can teach me something?"

Lao Liu said with a smile: "I don't dare to preach. There are many people in various places who are dissatisfied with Shu Han's harsh government and martial arts. Yizhou is empty now. It's the right time! Brother only needs to mobilize his confidants and control the palace...

"When the internal and external cooperation is completed, Liu Bei and his son are beyond the reach of the whip, and great things can be accomplished! After it is accomplished, with this great achievement, His Majesty the Wei Dynasty will not break the earth and make the king for Brother Meng? Huh?"

Meng Huo looked at Lao Liu, still holding his arm tightly, his laughter getting louder and louder: "Hehehe, hahahaha..."

Lao Liu also started laughing, but Meng Huo suddenly stopped laughing.

Choke!

Meng Huo suddenly pulled out his sword from the wall with his other hand!

Then he exerted all his strength and threw Lao Liu to the ground.

In front of the strong and brave Meng Huo, Lao Liu was like a little chicken in his hand. How could he resist? He was immediately beaten to pieces.

The blade was pressed against his throat. The sword given by Liu Chan was so sharp that it immediately cut the skin on Lao Liu's neck. Blood dripped down the cold and shining blade, making a ticking sound.

"If you were in Nanzhong, I would pluck out your tongue, gouge out your heart and eyes, and throw them into a frying pan!" Meng Huo's fierce expression at this time was nowhere to be found in his usual "people are stupid and have a lot of money and a good temper" look.

In the past environment of Nanzhong where people could eat people without spitting out their bones, if Meng Huo was really a fool and rich in money, he would have been eaten up to the point where nothing was left.

Can the Meng family still mix among the Yongkai and Yi tribes?

It's a pity that the arrogant Liu family leader doesn't know about these things.

Lao Liu was frightened by the sudden change. He had no idea why Meng Huo had a sudden attack. He only shook his head to sift chaff and didn't dare to fart.

"Hmph, now that I have surrendered to the Crown Prince and am loyal to His Majesty, I am not good at killing a dolphin like you." Meng Huo grabbed his hair and hit his head on the ground with a loud bang, which made Lao Liu scream.

"Come here! Tie him and me into the palace! Go and inform General Wu immediately that the Liu family wants to rebel, and the head of the family has been captured by someone!"

"Yes!"

After making arrangements quickly, Meng Huo lifted Lao Liuliu's hair, looked at the face with a bloody nose in front of him, smiled ferociously, and patted his face hard: "Xian brother, if you don't want to suffer after entering the palace with me, that's fine! Okay!" say!"

After saying that, without waiting for a reply, he dragged the wailing old Liu out like a dead dog...
