The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 660: Barbarian King Meng Huo
Zhang Ren was seldom talkative, but he was unambiguous in his work. Although in his words, he opposed Yuan Shang seeking Meng Huo as an ally, Yuan Shang still insisted on seeing Meng Huo because he admired Meng Huo's name. However, Zhang Ren did not dissuade him, and helped Yuan Shang take over this errand.

Zhang Ren, who is known as the No.1 general of Xichuan, supported Liu Zhang to flee to Nanzhong to avoid disaster, all pointing to him alone, limited to the limited ability of other Sichuan generals who followed Liu Zhang, so there are wars and peace affairs between various ethnic groups. Zhang Ren was in charge, so it was not difficult for him to contact Meng Huo.

Yuan Shang only waited for a day, and Liu Xun sent someone to send news that Meng Huo had agreed to meet Yuan Shang in private, and the meeting place was by the lake not far from the place where everyone in Wulin was stationed.

…………

…………

On the edge of the reeds that are as tall as half a person by the lake, two teams of people came here to meet each other after moving silently.

A water bird that had been circling in mid-air for a long time, after flying up and down for a while, suddenly swooped down towards the lake, picked up a white fish accurately and swiftly from the water in an instant, and then wanted to vibrate. wing left...

However, from the shore of the lake, a cold arrow was suddenly shot out of thin air, and it hit the water bird with incomparable precision, but seeing the water bird flicker and shake its wings laboriously, it still couldn't bear the pain after all. It fell down in the air, fell into the lake, was swept by the surging waves, and disappeared in the middle of the lake after a while, together with the fish in its mouth, it disappeared without a trace.

On the shore of the lake, I saw a young strong man with loose hair, a tiger skin skirt around his waist, and a bone chain around his neck, he laughed and said: "It's a pity that this good bird and a big fish, I wanted to eat them tonight It's really bad luck if you don't want to let your mother go to the bottom of the lake!"

When Yuan Shang and the others arrived, they saw such a scene.

Seeing Yuan Shang's arrival, Meng Huo's younger brother Meng You whispered to Meng Huo, "Second brother, that boy Yuan Shang is here!"

Meng Huo turned his head, looked at Yuan Shang and the others who had arrived by the lake, and said in a rough and loud voice, "Your son is so arrogant, he took me a long time to come, and he actually made me wait for a long time, and asked him to come here." Come here!"

Behind Yuan Shang, a group of people who followed him were furious when they heard the words, thinking that Yuan Shang was the majestic overlord of the north, the official worshiped the great general Wu Pinghou, the real number one prince in the world, and Meng Huo was the king of the border tribes , How dare you be so disrespectful in your words?

Deng Chang, who came with Yuan Shang, snorted and said, "Meng Huo, my lord is an important minister of the imperial court, how dare you be so rude!"

Meng Huo glanced at Deng Chang, smiled, and said, "Ge Laozi is a big-time person from the north, and he has a lot of shit. This king has this temper, so don't take offense!"

Yuan Shang didn't speak, walked in front of Meng Huo and the others, and looked up and down the barbarian king who dared to challenge Zhuge Liang in the future and who was powerful in Nanzhong.

But seeing that although he looks Xiongkui, he is very young. He is wearing the native costumes unique to Nanzhong. His messy hair is not tied up, but is scattered on his shoulders so casually, which is connected with his thick eyebrows. One body, coupled with the blood red color in a pair of copper bell-like eyes, is very frightening.

Just a face-to-face meeting, Yuan Shang knew why Zhang Ren did not agree to join forces with Meng Huo.

Although Meng Huo appeared rough and mad, Yuan Shang had seen many people over the years.Just one look at him can tell that this person is definitely not a kind person, his appearance is rough and arrogant, but deep in his blood-red eyes, there is a terrifying cruelty and murderous intent hidden.

Yuan Shang looked at Meng Huo, and Meng Huo was also looking at Yuan Shang at the same time. After a while, he saw the barbarian king laugh and said, "My son, I have long heard that General Sima Yuan Shang is the number one person in Zhongtu. I don't want to It's fucking weird to be so young, are you the real god? . "

When Meng Huo uttered obscenities, all the people behind Yuan Shang were furious, but Yuan Shang smiled slightly and imitated Meng Huo's words.

"Guzi is right, I am Yuan Shang."

Meng Huo was taken aback when he heard the words, thought carefully about Yuan Shang's words, and then flew into a rage!
"This bastard imitated the king's words to take advantage of me, it's really hateful!"

Regardless of Meng Huo's angry expression, Yuan Shang smiled and said, "My lord Meng, Yuan came here today with sincerity, and wanted to discuss a business with the king. If the king doesn't want to cooperate with Yuan, just refuse to meet. Why bother to meet?" Are you running on Yuan Mou inside and outside the words, are you trying to give me power? To tell you the truth, Yuan Mou was not intimidated by others."

Meng Huo chuckled, and said: "What the General said, I dare not give power to anyone, but I don't dare to show power to you. It's just that the General is famous and powerful. Seeing you, this King has no idea. Speak a few foul words naturally to strengthen your courage!"

Yuan Shang secretly sighed in his heart, this Meng Huo was very rude in his mouth, but he knew it in his heart, he was actually a master who was rough on the outside and thin on the inside.

"My lord Meng, let's open the skylight and speak frankly. You and I came here in the original way to recruit relatives in response to martial arts. We are originally opponents, so there is no way to make a match. But this time Wulin recruits relatives, Your Majesty should have seen it, including you Nan. Including the kings in the middle, I am afraid that there are no less than hundreds of people who take the test, and they are all talented people in the world, so it is not easy to deal with. Your Majesty should understand that under such a situation, taking the test by oneself is a bad strategy. Supporting each other in recruiting relatives, and forming horns, can make a big deal!"

Meng Huo raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said with a chuckle, "General Yuan, do you want to cooperate with me?"

Yuan Shang nodded, and said: "To be honest, my lord, among all the kings in Nanzhong, the only one who can make Yuan look up to him is only King Meng."

Hearing this, Meng Huo looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, startling a large group of waterfowl among the aquatic plants, but he was too lazy to draw his bow and shoot arrows at this time, he just had a good time and said: "Thanks to the general who thinks highly of me, my lord! His mother is grateful, but unfortunately the general came a step late, this king already has allies, I really can't be cheeky and make friends with you, so this king has become a bloody traitor!"

Yuan Shang frowned when he heard this, and said, "What does Your Majesty mean?"

Meng Huo said with a smile: "I'm dissatisfied with General Yuan. When I was in Nanzhong, I made an alliance with Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang in Shuzhong, and we went forward and retreated together in adversity. I came here this time to help him at his invitation. The general has good intentions." Forgive me, my mother, I can only accept it with my heart!"

Yuan Shang frowned when he heard the words, secretly thinking that Zhuge Liang's actions were too quick, as early as in the middle of Shu, he had already laid down his backhands!

Thinking of this, he said again: "In this case, why did King Meng come here at my invitation?"

Meng Huo chuckled and said, "I just want to see if Zhuge Liang's words are correct. Long before he left for this place, Zhuge Liang sent someone to send a letter to this king saying that General Yuan is thoughtful and the best at sowing dissension. People are here to win me over, so that I will not be fooled by you! I came here today just to see if Zhuge Liang’s words are on time... You son of a bitch, he was really fooled!"

Yuan Shang took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said: "Master Meng, although you have already made an alliance with Liu Bei, I still want to remind you that when it comes to power and strength, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are far inferior to me. If I think about it myself, I should also think about it for my clansmen, do you really want to offend my Yuan family for Liu Bei, a down-and-out family member who lives in a corner?"

Meng Huo chuckled, and said, "Zhuge Liang also sent someone to explain this to the king. He said that although General Yuan is powerful, he has no border with me, but Liu Bei is now the real king of Sichuan. , if you instigate against me, join me, I will help you with thirteen tricks, and in the end, you will go back and forth to Nanzhong, but you will offend Liu Bei. The enemy, and then the barbarian kings of other tribes in Nanzhong also took advantage of the opportunity to make waves, and each one was more anxious than the other to kill the king. At that time, I would fight to the death with the kings of Nanzhong and Liu Bei, but in the end you sent troops from the north and captured it with your hands. You cleaned up half of the southwestern country in one fell swoop... Guizi's! This fucking plan is perfect, which bastard helped you come up with it?"

Yuan Shang frowned, and said: "In this way, the deal between me and King Meng is not right."

Meng Huo shook his head and said, "General Yuan, although I am arrogant, I know how important I am. In the end, I am afraid that even the bones of my bones will have to be chewed up by you after cooperating with you. How cowardly I am!"

Yuan Shang nodded and said: "Since King Meng is unwilling to accept Yuan's kindness, then I will take my leave first."

After all, he turned and left with a group of elites.Although Meng Huo rejected Yuan Shang's alliance, he didn't dare to keep Yuan Shang rashly, after all, his strength lay there.

While walking, Yuan Shang said to Sima Yi beside him, "What do you think of Meng Huo?"

Sima Yi shook his head and said: "Zhang Ren is right. This person cannot be united with him. He is just a hungry wolf. He refuses us to unite with Liu Bei. It is just a stopgap measure. It is not bad as I expected, no In a few years, he may not be willing to stay under Liu Bei honestly."

Yuan Shang nodded and said: "You see the same thing as me. I originally wanted to form an alliance with this person, but it seems that it won't work...By the way, the other barbarian king recommended by Zhang Ren last time is another who?"

Sima Yi stroked his beard when he heard the words, and said, "It seems to be Zhu Jiao from Vulcan Cave."

Yuan Shang heard the words and sighed: "Then the next best thing to do is to meet this King Zhu again."

………………

………………

Yuan Shang ran into trouble with Meng Huo, but in desperation, he accepted Zhang Ren's recommendation and met Zhu Jiao, the cave master of Vulcan Cave.

According to Zhang Ren's introduction, this Zhu Jiao claims to be a descendant of the fire god Zhu Rong, and his strength should not be underestimated in Nanzhong. Unlike Meng Huo, Meng Huo is a rising star in Nanzhong, but Zhu Jiao is a young Over [-] years old, a real old barbarian king with a high reputation in Nanzhong, which is not as good as ordinary barbarian kings. This is one of the reasons why Zhang Ren recommended him.

Meeting Zhu Jiao, Yuan Shang found that he was indeed an old barbarian king. Although he was also dressed in foreign costumes, his figure was obviously shriveled due to his age. The old man had gray hair and a thin body, but his complexion was very kind. Compared with Meng Huo, he was less surly and arrogant, but more mature and prudent.

"Vulcan's Zhu Jiao, I have met the Great General Sima." Without the arrogance of being a barbarian king, Zhu Jiao treated Yuan Shang with humility.

Yuan Shang heard the words and said hastily: "In a hurry, please wish the cave master to meet again. If you are disrespectful, please also invite Haihan."

The two exchanged a few words of politeness with each other, and then brought the conversation to the main topic, Zhu Jiao is quite old, so it is naturally impossible for him to compete in martial arts to recruit relatives by himself when he comes here, but he put the treasure on his youngest son, Zhu Dai. come on.

After listening to Yuan Shang's suggestion of inviting himself as an alliance, Zhu Jiao closed his eyes and began to weigh the pros and cons.

To be honest, forming an alliance with Yuan Shang is not Zhu Jiaolong's wish. Although Yuan Shang is powerful, he is far away in the north and cannot interfere in the affairs of Nanzhong. Among the current Han people, the one who can deter Nanzhong is naturally Sitting firmly in Xichuan's Liu Bei!

It's a pity that Liu Bei is currently joining forces with Meng Huo. According to Zhu Jiao's thinking, Liu Bei obviously wants to support a representative in Nanzhong, and if there is no accident, this person is probably Meng Huo.

With Meng Huo's ambition and ability, coupled with Liu Bei's help, all the tribes in Nanzhong may be ups and downs under this man's command in the future.

I wish Jiao Jiao a young age, and the Vulcan Cave has been passed down for several generations. If he wants to go out like this, the old man is absolutely reluctant.

Therefore, Zhang Ren invited him to meet Yuan Shang, and Zhu Jiao also wanted to take this opportunity to get a strong support, but this strong support was a bit too far away, because he offended Liu Bei, Zhu Jiao had no idea...

Yuan Shang is such a good person, he seemed to see Zhu Jiao's hesitation, and said immediately: "Cave Master Zhu, I want to make you an ally for this martial arts competition, and it's not just a matter of one night, to be honest, I also want to keep making friends with you. In the future, one south and one north will advance and retreat together. I know that the current situation in your Nanzhong is not good. Liu Bei is in Shuzhong and intends to support Meng Huo. I have met this person before. Really. He is an ambitious wolf, if you really make him full-fledged, I am afraid that the foundation of your Huoshendong for several generations will fall into your old hands... The matter of Nanzhong is now a time of crisis, so please do your best for the future consider."

Zhu Jiaochang sighed, and said: "I know what the general said, but although the general is strong, he is too far away from Nanzhong. If something happens, I'm afraid the distance will not be able to quench his thirst..."

Yuan Shang shook his head and said: "To tell you the truth, my next goal is to install Liu Bei in Guan Yu, an important town in Jingzhou, and Soochow has coveted this place for a long time. As long as I can win Sun Shangxiang's marriage, I have 12 points. If I win Jingzhou with confidence, then my power will be able to use Jingzhou to border Nanzhong, and I will not be unable to help you, Zhu Dongzhu!"

Zhu Jiao was taken aback when he heard the words, looked at Yuan Shang with some understanding, and said in a low voice: "What the general said is true?"

Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said: "In order to show my sincerity, I plan to deal with Meng Huo tonight, one is to show my alliance with you, Cave Master, the other is to show you my methods, and the third is also I don’t know what Cave Master Zhu thinks about getting rid of a major disaster in order to recruit relatives for the martial arts competition?”
