The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 731 Chapter 730
When Yong Kai heard these words of praise from Mrs. Wang, he hastily waved his hands and said, "Thanks to all the adults who think highly of you and are willing to follow my lead, this is how I am today. How the court rewards is a matter for the court. In my heart, I think it is more important than anyone else. Please don’t mind the rewards from the imperial court, my lords, I will distribute them evenly and give them all to you lords.”

As soon as the words fell, Gao Ding and Zhu Bao immediately felt a great balance in their hearts, and Yongshun was also complacent and complacent, and seemed to be quite pleased with Yong Kai's words.

Seeing such a scene, Mrs. Wang thought to herself: "It seems that Yong Kai is not a fool, he knows how to continue to use money to win people's hearts..."

Yong Kai saw that the hearts of everyone here had calmed down a little, so he continued: "You have also read the imperial edict. Apart from the matter of rewards, there is another very important thing, that is, the imperial court has sent two Lu Dajun has gone to attack Yizhou, and ordered me to lead the troops to the north, attack Chengdu, and cooperate with the imperial court's army to fight. After this is done, it will be just around the corner. I just don't know what your lords think about this matter?"

Zhu Baodao: "Our troops are weak and we have already occupied the southern and central counties. We should continue to recruit troops to expand our power. Moreover, Zhang Fei has ordered Wu Yi to station soldiers in Qiang County, and his younger brother Wu Ban is also guarding the Lingguan Road. The road to the north has been completely blocked. If we want to attack Chengdu in the north, we must break through their defenses. But now we have limited troops, many of whom are newly recruited and have not been trained. It is impossible for them to be Wu Yi and Wu Yi What's more, Wu Yi is a veteran general in Sichuan, and he is extremely difficult to deal with. I'm afraid that once we send out troops, we will not only lose our troops, but also be repelled by Wu Yi. At that time, those barbarians who followed us to rebel , will definitely turn against us, and maybe even turn us back, then the loss outweighs the gain."

Yongshun cupped his hands and said, "Brother, what Zhu Taishou said is not unreasonable!"

Yong Kai frowned, turned his face to look at Gao Ding who was sitting beside him, and asked, "Prefect Gao, what's your opinion?"

Gao Ding is the most courageous of several people, not to mention martial arts, but under him there is a very brave warrior named E Huan, who is nine feet long, skilled in bow and horse, A mountain mace has the courage of a million men.Moreover, Gao Ding has the most soldiers under his command, and Yong Kai has always regarded him as his right-hand man.

Therefore, what Yong Kai cares most about is Gao Ding's opinion.

Gao Ding's face was ashen, and his sly eyes showed incomparable shrewdness. Hearing Yong Kai's question about this matter, he said calmly: "Actually, with the current strength of our army, it is really difficult to go north to attack Chengdu." We are overreaching ourselves. However, we don’t have to lead our own troops to attack. We can use the barbarians to fight for us. When things are done, just give some money. You know, the barbarian people are tough, so good They are brave and fierce, almost all men are strong and strong, and they are almost born to shoot arrows, and there are many good archers among them. As long as we can recruit some brave barbarians to command us and fight for us, it is not a bad idea We can attack Chengdu. What's more, the imperial court has already dispatched a large army, and the troops are divided into two groups to attack Zhang Fei. As long as we take advantage of the opportunity, we may not be able to get a share of the pie."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang also hurriedly said: "General, what Gao Taishou said is not unreasonable. I also think that we should decisively send troops at this time. Since the imperial court has sent two large armies to attack Zhang Fei, as long as we attack Zhang Fei again Sending troops will allow Zhang Fei to face enemies on three sides. Besides, since we have accepted the imperial court's reward, we should serve the imperial court. The big army went to confront Wu Yi and Wu Ban, which can be regarded as restraining part of Zhang Fei's troops for the court, and it is better than holding back."

After a pause, Mrs. Wang noticed a subtle change in the expression on Yong Kai's face, as if he was thinking about something, and he kept stroking his beard with one hand, looking thoughtful.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang had stopped, Yong Kai hurriedly said, "Go on."

"Yes!" Mrs. Wang continued: "It would be best if we could lead the army to attack Chengdu, even if we couldn't. When the imperial army attacked Chengdu, we knew that our army had held back part of Zhang Fei's troops in Nanzhong. , will also give rewards. But if we stand still and watch the tigers fight, it means that we have not carried out the order of the imperial court. At that time, the imperial court will naturally have doubts about our loyalty, and it is very likely that we will do everything possible to transfer us away. If we don't want to, once there is a stalemate, maybe the imperial court will send a large army to attack Nanzhong. Now that the world has tended to be stable, no matter how much trouble we make, there will be no good end. It's better than An An If we are loyal to the imperial court and defend Nanzhong for the imperial court, the imperial court may continue to let us stay in Nanzhong, maybe it will be hereditary. "

When Yong Kai heard about hereditary succession, Yong Kai's eyes suddenly shone brightly, as if he had seen some hope.Ever since their ancestors were assigned to Yizhou, the descendants of the Yong family have always kept in mind the teachings of their ancestors. For generations, their ancestors never got involved in politics, and have continued to Dao Yongkai's generation.Although there is plenty of wealth, enough for the descendants of the Yong family to eat, but for the ambitious Yong Kai, only after seeking political benefits can the Yong family restore the prestige of its ancestor Yong Chi.What he wants is not only wealth, but also a title. At least he wants to leave a rock-solid foundation for future generations. Money is not enough, but also status.

There was silence in the hall, and everyone had already expressed their opinions. After weighing the pros and cons, Yong Kai made a decisive decision and said to everyone: "Since we have accepted the imperial court's reward, we must serve the imperial court. I have decided to send troops to the north. Attack Chengdu, strive to capture Chengdu as quickly as possible, and let the imperial court army see that we people in remote Nanzhong are not waiting for nothing!"

When Zhu Bao and Yong Shun heard Yong Kai's words, they hurriedly advised, "General..."

Without waiting for Zhu Bao and Yongshun to continue, Yong Kai said firmly, "I have made up my mind. Anyone who talks too much will be beheaded for public display!"

Only then did Zhu Bao and Yongshun shut their mouths, although they were not very happy in their hearts, but they were helpless, and the two of them looked at Gao Ding and Wang Fu with rather angry eyes.

Gao Ding and Wang's wife ignored Zhu Bao and Yongshun, and pretended not to see their vicious eyes.

"Congratulations to the general for making a wise move." Gao Ding and Wang's wife met each other with tacit understanding, they stood up together, and said to Yong Kai.

At this moment, one of Yong Kai's confidants hurried over from outside, and whispered something in Yong Kai's ear, after Yong Kai listened, his face darkened, and he said in a low voice, "Come in, please! "

Gao Ding, Wang Fu, Zhu Bao, and Yongshun all looked suspicious. After looking at each other, they asked in unison: "General, what happened?"

"Meng Huo is here." Yong Kai said in a panic.

Meng Huo is a great leader of the Yi tribe in the Nanzhong area, and the Meng family is the second largest surname in the Nanzhong area, second only to the Yong family.

The Meng family, like the Yong family, are Han Chinese sent here by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but unlike the Yong family, the Meng family has no ancestral precepts. Although the members of the Meng family do not have the brains of the Yong family, they have learned from generation to generation. He was a mighty warrior. At that time, the conflicts between the Han people and the barbarians continued, and the Meng family relied on their own strength to protect many Han people and gained a high reputation among the Han people.Later, the Meng family was passed down to the generation of Meng Huo's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather. The Meng family was fortunate enough to follow Fubo General Ma Yuan to quell the rebellion in Nanzhong, and was named a general. Become the second largest family in the South Central region.

After that, the situation in Nanzhong was stable. The Meng family was not only respected by the Han people, but also admired by the barbarians. In addition, the Meng family often dealt with the barbarians. Over time, the Meng family also allowed intermarriage with the barbarians, gradually forming in Nanzhong. A big family spanning Yi people and Han people.

Meng Huo was born after the intermarriage between Yi and Han. Meng Huo's father was an orphan of Yi people and was adopted by the Meng family. Later, because several sons of Meng Huo's grandfather died young, Meng Huo's father was regarded as a child. He gave birth to himself and gave him the surname Meng. Later, he married a woman from the Han family and gave birth to Meng Huo.

Unexpectedly, Meng Huo's father turned out to be the son of the leader of a one-man tribe. The leader found Meng Huo's father and recognized him. After that, Meng Huo's father inherited the position of leader and was responsible for commanding the tribe.And Meng Huo also grew up in the Yi tribe, and often traveled among the Han people, so Meng Huo was very proficient in the customs and habits of the Yi people and the Han people.

In addition, Meng Huo was born with supernatural power since he was a child, he was brave and ruthless, and he liked to dance with spears and clubs, so his martial arts skills were extremely high.

After Meng Huo's father died, Meng Huo inherited his father's position and continued to lead the tribe. Under Meng Huo's leadership, the tribe learned the strengths of the Han people and rejected the weaknesses of the barbarians, and secretly trained the army, gradually developing It has grown and conquered the surrounding tribes by force many times, and merged them into its tribes, becoming the largest tribe in the South Central region in one fell swoop.

In addition, the leaders of many tribes admired Meng Huo very much, so Meng Huo seemed to have become the leader of the entire Yi people.In private, everyone called Meng Huo the Great King to show Meng Huo's glory.

The Yong family and the Meng family were once married, so they can be regarded as relatives. Yong Kai's great-aunt is Meng Huo's grandmother, and the relationship between the two families is quite good.Therefore, in this rebellion, Yong Kai also pulled Meng Huo along, and borrowed Meng Huo's power to achieve his own goals.

Meng Huo came suddenly for no reason, Yong Kai naturally didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly asked to invite Meng Huo in, but then he felt that it was inappropriate, so he brought Gao Ding, Zhu Bao, Wang Fu, and Yongshun to the place in person. Meet at the door.
