The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 787 786 Mobilization
The cave master brought him a smile and said, "Brother Mulu, where are you thinking? Why did the king do such a thing? You had some trouble with the king before, and the king didn't plan to use you this time. I secretly persuaded the people to choose you as the vanguard, so that everyone will welcome you, even if the king doesn't want to use you, he can't do it."

"Are you playing tricks behind your back?" King Mulu asked in a low voice with a little anger bursting out from his shrewd eyes.

The master who brought the cave saw that King Mulu's face was not right, so he hurriedly explained: "Brother Mulu, don't think too much, I am behind the scenes, but I did it all for you."

"For me? For me? To be a pioneer is to die. He, Meng Huo, personally led the army to attack the Han camp, but they were defeated, let alone me? And I have so many subordinates, let me be the vanguard Going to fight the Han army is nothing more than trying to weaken my strength. Duosi's tribe has already been annexed by him, maybe he, Meng Huo, wants to swallow me?" King Mulu said angrily.

The owner of the cave brought him a smile and said, "What did you mean by what Brother Mulu said? The reason why the king annexed Duosi's tribe was because Dosi tricked the three generals under the king's subordinates to rebel against the king. That's why the king chose to annex Duosi's tribe. , give others a warning. If it wasn’t for Dosi and the others who rebelled against the king, the king would have driven the Han army out of Nanzhong a long time ago. If I really wanted to, I would have turned against the king long ago. In fact, it was my idea to recommend you as a pioneer this time, and it has nothing to do with the king. Think about it, you have come all the way, you can’t It’s a waste of time, right? Although you don’t belong to Nanzhong, you should still be next to Nanzhong anyway. We depend on each other and benefit each other. If Nanzhong is really occupied by the Han army, then the place where you are is equal to Falling into the siege of the Han army, wouldn't it be easy for the Han army to attack the Nanman? At that time, wouldn't you be alone and helpless? This is what the saying goes. In addition, you and the king have some Not happy, if you can successfully complete the task this time, the king will look at you differently, and maybe he will reuse you. The Nanzhong area is thousands of miles away, rich in supplies, not much better than you in the backcountry of Nanman? As long as you can immediately If I have made great achievements, I can persuade the king to give you a piece of land in Nanzhong, so that you can lead your tribe to live in Nanzhong, wouldn't it be wonderful?"

King Mulu listened carefully, and he listened to every word the cave master said, and he didn't think about it. After comprehensive consideration, he felt that bringing the cave master said very reasonable.No matter how much he complained about Meng Huo's annexation of Dosi's tribe, it had already become a fact, and it was irreparable. Moreover, Meng Huo was the most powerful in the whole of Nanzhong, who would dare to do anything to him?Although he also claimed to be a great king, he knew in his heart that the difference between his great king and Meng Huo's great king was not a single bit.

After thinking about it, King Mulu finally turned to reason. He is a very patient person, and he can continue to wait.So, he said to the owner of the cave: "Brother, you are very right. I was stupid, and I didn't turn around this corner. I seem to understand a lot after you broadcast it. I will gather everyone tomorrow. I don’t think there is any need for soldiers and horses to go out to fight and lure the Han army. With the [-] soldiers and horses under my command, I can make the Han army come and go, and let them taste the strength of my Nanman.”

Bring the cave master and say: "Brother Mulu, you can't do stupid things without authorization. These are all planned by the king. Your purpose is very simple. You only need to lead the main force of the Han army to the designated place. Remember not to fight with the main force of the Han army." The Han army is fighting to the death, just in case..."

King Mulu interrupted the words of bringing the cave master, and asked, "What? Are you worried that I won't be able to kill so many Han soldiers?"

"Brother Mulu is majestic and knows witchcraft. I don't dare to underestimate him. It's just that this ambush was planned in advance. The purpose is to wipe out the Han army, and there must be no fish that slip through the net. If wood If Brother Lu intends to do it alone, he is fighting hard and is irrational at all, and Brother Mulu has such a small family background. If it is all over, although I can guarantee that the king will not have thoughts about Brother Mulu's tribe, but it is hard to guarantee other people It’s not interesting to my brother’s tribe. Therefore, it is the best strategy to preserve our strength and surround and wipe them out!” The cave master persuaded earnestly.

King Mulu thought for a moment, then laughed, stretched out his hand and patted the cave master on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "What you said is very reasonable, everyone is Duo Si, the number one Homo sapiens in Nanzhong, I I always feel that you are much smarter than Duosi. If that old bastard Duosi was smart enough, he should not have rebelled against King Meng at this juncture. Not only did he form a relationship with King Meng, but he also lost his life. Playing round and round."

He brought the cave master and said: "Brother Mulu is too modest. The main reason is that Duosi has ambition. If he didn't have ambition, he would not be so stupid. Compared with Duosi, I am really far behind." .”

In the early morning of the next day, King Mulu gathered all his subordinates together early, and all the barbarians were fully armed and ready to go at any time.

Meng Huo led Cave Master, Jinhuan Sanjie, Yang Feng, Xini, Tu'an, Wu Tugu and others to see King Mulu off, and the entire Ailao Mountain was densely packed, tens of people. Thousands of Nanzhong athletes stood by with various weapons.

"Your Majesty Meng, just wait for my good news. This time I will definitely let the Han army come and go!" Mulu Dawang saluted Meng Huo respectfully, and then said, patted his chest.

Meng Huo didn't have a good impression of King Mulu. In his opinion, this man was very barbaric and didn't know any etiquette. If he hadn't been strongly invited by the cave master, he would never have invited King Mulu. .But today it was strange, the always rebellious King Mulu actually bowed to Meng Huo for the first time, this is really a strange thing.

When Meng Huo was astonished, he brought the cave master to poke Meng Huo with his elbow, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty must not be rude in front of so many people."

Only then did Meng Huo come to his senses, he quickly agreed, and after some words of encouragement, he sent King Mulu away.

"set off!"

Following Mulu King's order, [-] warriors from Nanman followed Mulu King down the Ailao Mountain, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

After King Mulu left, Meng Huo turned around and said to everyone: "Success or failure depends on one move. This time, either the Han people will die or we will perish. I hope everyone will show courage and fight the enemy to the death. We must wipe out the Han people." Army, let our Nanzhong be famous all over the world!"

"Long live the king! Long live the king! Long live! Long live!"

Cheers came and went, and hundreds of thousands of Nanzhong athletes shouted together, and the sound shook the valley and went straight to Xiaohan.

King Mulu, who had just gone down the mountain, heard the shouts from the whole mountain, a strange smile appeared on his face, and he thought secretly: "Meng Huo, next year today will be your death day!"

……

The Han army has already set up camp, and tens of thousands of Han troops still maintain a neat formation during the march. Even if the mountain road is rugged, the formation is not very scattered, and everyone is always vigilant. After all, The place they stepped into was a very strange place.

After a day's journey, the Han army walked [-] miles. The speed was not fast, because the road was rough and it was inconvenient to walk. In some places, they had to dismount their horses and go forward. The cavalry could not be used here at all, and it seemed that they had no use for them. .

The further you go, the narrower the road becomes, and the road is full of strange rocks. Everyone walks with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and the march is very slow.

This road is the only passage to Ailao Mountain. Although there are many trails that can be walked, it is not conducive to the advancement of the army.

At first, ten people could walk side by side at the same time, but now only five people can walk side by side, and horses can't cross this strange rocky road at all.For this reason, Zhang Liao had no choice but to give up the cavalry. He gathered all the cavalry together, and then let them stay behind, and also left the luggage, and let the soldiers carry a few days of dry food and water, and move forward lightly.

In this way, a person was needed to stay and guard the luggage, and this task undoubtedly fell on Xu Huang's head.

Rao Xu Huang was a hundred times unwilling, but he had to obey, because this was a military order and there was nothing negotiable.

Of the 8 troops, Zhang Liao took away 1 people, leaving [-] people under Xu Huang's command to guard the supplies and all the horses, waiting for Zhang Liao's triumphant return.

The [-] Han troops all marched forward on foot. It took a whole day to cross the most rugged mountain road. You can also vaguely see the outline of Ailao Mountain.

But what is strange is that the Han army has not encountered the slightest resistance along the way, and has never met a person. Even the birds and beasts in the mountains don't know where they went. When they stopped to rest, the whole mountain was silent, without any sound, as if there was no life in ancient times.

At night, the Han army slept on the spot, did not set up camp, and rested on the spot. When hungry, they ate the dry food they brought, and when they were thirsty, they drank the water they brought. This is the only way to spend the night.

"Governor!" The vanguard general Huang Zhong came to the Chinese army from the front of the team. After seeing Zhang Liao, he bowed his hands first.

Zhang Liao asked, "General Huang, is there something wrong?"

Huang Zhong nodded, and said slowly: "Governor, we came here with such a great momentum, the rebels should have known about it long ago, but we have walked this way, at least forty or fifty miles away, but There was no resistance at all. It stands to reason that the closer we are to the rebels' lair, the more intense the resistance is, but it is so peaceful now, which is really unbelievable. The general is wondering if the rebels are What kind of conspiracy?"
