Chapter 238 Meng Huo's Return
Meng Huo hurried to the entrance, but luck did not continue to patronize him.

A tripping rope appeared, but Meng Huo had no time to react, the horse's hooves tripped and fell directly from the horse's back.

Just as he was about to get up, countless spears were pointed at his eyes.

It turned out that Wenpin's attack on the camp was just a cover, making Meng Huo think that there was no one around Cao Cao.

But Li Dian and Le Jin had already ambushed outside the valley, just waiting for the brutal defeat of the barbarians to prevent the fish that slipped through the net from escaping.

Li Dian and Le Jin tied up Meng Huo and brought them to Cao Cao.

The soldiers ordered Meng Huo to kneel, but Meng Huo refused to kneel.

Cao Cao waved his hand to signal the soldiers to untie him, then looked at Meng Huo with a smile and said, "Now I've caught him again, do you have anything to say?"

Meng Huo sighed deeply, and said, "Hey, the king of Shu has a great strategy, and I can't match it. If you want to kill him, you can kill him as you like."

"Will the barbarian king surrender?"

Meng Huo was stunned. He really didn't expect that he would rebel against Cao Cao and cause Cao Cao to lose his army many times. Since he was captured this time, Cao Cao wanted to recruit himself.

Cao Cao also had long-term considerations in doing this. Although the barbarians suffered heavy losses and their vitality was severely damaged, after ten years of training, they will have the power to fight again. It is inevitable that another barbarian king will appear.

And now he is fighting Zhang Lan again, who knows what the result will be in ten years?
If at that time I was in a critical period of confrontation with Zhang Lan, and there was another barbarian king on the side of the barbarians, I really would have no place to cry.

Therefore, seeing Meng Huo's expression, Cao Cao chuckled and continued, "It is helpless for you and me to meet each other, but now it is like this. , I think the barbarian king is a hero for a lifetime, why not follow me to create a great cause for the world, how about it?"

Meng Huo was moved when he heard the words, and then he knelt down on the ground, his eyes were slightly moist.

"Thanks to the king of Shu for not giving up. At the beginning of the attack on Shu, the land was poor. He just wanted to plunder other people's land and let the people live a better life. Now I think about it, but I am confused. The king of Shu treats me like this, and there is nothing in return. Willing to follow the king of Shu, and be the horse head and saddle for the king of Shu"

To achieve Meng Huo's position, he would naturally not be ignorant of accidents.

He said that following Cao Cao is seven points true and three points false.

The key is that he can't beat Cao Cao, and after this period of fighting, his strong clansmen have suffered heavy injuries and it is difficult to make a difference.

However, Cao Cao was so wise and martial that he suffered a lot of damage, and he was not much different from Cao Cao.

If I follow Cao Cao to establish hegemony, then Cao Cao will reward myself with the Yunnan generation, and I can achieve the same goal.

The reason why he thought so was because he had never met Zhang Lan before.

He believes that the reason why Cao Cao is not as good as Zhang Lan now is because Cao Cao started late and the opportunity is not as good as Zhang Lan.

Now that Cao Cao has a platform, and has started so fast, if he adds his own help, it will not be difficult to unify the world.

If it doesn't work, he can be like Lu Bu, he has a bargaining chip in his hand, and then find another opportunity to be independent.

That would be a way too.

Now that Meng Huo surrendered, Cao Cao naturally treated him with courtesy.

He ordered people to prepare a banquet to entertain Meng Huo.

Meng Huo, however, postponed it, and instead said, "I was touched by the king of Shu. My barbarians were defeated, but there were still nearly ten thousand soldiers. I also asked the king of Shu to allow me to go back and recruit them to help us." King of Shu"

As soon as Meng Huo finished speaking, the atmosphere became frozen instantly.

Cao Cao is suspicious by nature, how could the people under his command not know?

When Meng Huo said such words, he naturally touched Cao Cao's weakness.

Everyone turned their attention to Cao Cao, and so did Meng Huo.

Cao Cao's original smile also froze on his face.

After a while, Cao Cao laughed heartily.

"Hahahaha, since the barbarian king is so caring, Cao An has no reason to allow it, come here, prepare a horse for the barbarian king"

As soon as the words fell, the stone in Meng Huo's heart finally fell to the ground.

The reason why he did this was firstly because he wanted to gain some weight for himself with Cao Cao, and secondly, he also wanted to test Cao Cao to see if he was really at ease with himself.

Not only was he relieved, but so were Xia Houyuan, Cao Xiu, Li Dian, Le Jin and others under Cao Cao's command.

Only Xi Zhicai always had a smile on his face.

Because he had already chatted that Cao Cao would agree.

Now Meng Huo doesn't have many people under his command. If Meng Huo wants to rebel again, even if he is released, there will be no big disturbances. At worst, there will be another battle. There is no need to use any tricks, just a brute force fight It can be eliminated.

Moreover, Cao Cao is now at the time of employing people, and Meng Huo surrendered at will, but if he does not agree to this matter, it will inevitably leave a shadow in his heart. When the time comes, he will not work hard, or he will take refuge in Zhang Lan, that is to move. He shot himself in the foot with a stone.

On the other hand, if Meng Huo is sent back this time, and Meng Huo also brings his troops to submit to Cao Cao, it will be a great help. With the strange arms of the barbarians, it is enough to make Zhang Lan suffer a big loss.

Hearing that Cao Cao agreed to his request.

Meng Huo bowed his hand to Cao Cao, then turned and left.

Time passed quickly, and the sky slowly dimmed.

At this time, someone outside the door suddenly reported that a group of people appeared ten miles outside the camp.

Cao Cao naturally knew that Meng Huo had returned, but he didn't know how Meng Huo would choose.

So he also walked out quickly, and ordered Xia Houyuan to secretly arrange troops to prevent Meng Huo from lying and attacking.

After Meng Huo went back, he told everyone what had happened, and expressed his intention to join Cao Cao.

Everyone under his command had already been scared by Cao Cao, so there would be no reason to disagree.

So Meng Huo organized his troops smoothly and took them to Cao Ying.

When he came to Cao Ying about two or three miles away, he ordered his younger brother Meng You to arrange troops, and he took Zhu Rong and his men to Cao Ying to meet Cao Cao.

Seeing that Meng Huo kept his promise, Cao Cao was very happy. He walked out of the camp to meet him, but Li Dian, Le Jin, Wen Pin and others followed closely behind.

"Hahahaha, the barbarian king is indeed a trustworthy person, let's go, I have ordered someone to set up a banquet, today I want to have a drink with the barbarian king."

Meng Huo also laughed, and entered the tent with Cao Cao.

After entering the big tent, Cao Cao looked at the people behind Meng Huo.

When he saw Zhu Rong, he froze.

Zhu Rong's skin is not fair, even a little dark, but this kind of black looks somewhat beautiful.

However, Zhu Rong's facial features are extremely iconic. Coupled with her fiery look and dark skin, the wild beauty is vividly displayed.

Because he was too far away on the battlefield before, Cao Cao knew that there was a female general among the barbarians, but he never really saw her face.
