Three Kingdoms: Wolong's brother-in-law, tricking Liu Bei into seizing Jingzhou

How should I gain a foothold in Nanman in the future?
Now that the rattan armor soldiers are gone, will Meng Huo still take him seriously?

"Run away~~"

Wutugu thought about it and turned around and ran away desperately.

It's too late.

On the ridge, Xiao Fang had already locked onto Wutugu's figure.

He pointed at Wutugu in the distance and said to Zhuge Dan behind him:

"See? That's Wutugu. Kill him and report the achievement to His Majesty."

Zhuge Dan could no longer suppress the murderous intent in his heart and wanted to kill many people.

Upon hearing Xiao Fang's order, he immediately bent his bow and aimed at Wutugu.

It was a rocket, the flame on the arrow jumping in the wind.

Zhuge Dan's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's as he followed Wutugu's figure closely.

He just loosened his fingertips slightly, and the rocket flew out like a meteor and hit Wutugu in the back.

Although the arrow failed to pierce the rattan armor, the powerful impact caused Wutugu to fly out and fall to the ground.

With a miserable scream, Wutugu was burned into a fireman.

The leader of the rattan armor soldiers eventually died in the "cage" woven from rattan armor.

In an instant, more soldiers in rattan armor fell down in groups like fallen leaves swept by autumn wind.

In just a few moments, the entire narrow valley turned into a blazing sea of ​​fire.

Thick smoke billowed straight into the sky, covering the sky in darkness.

The Han army officers and soldiers witnessed the tragic scene of the entire rattan armor army being annihilated. They were shocked and terrified.

It was not until the smoke cleared that they came to their senses as if awakened from a dream.

Immediately afterwards, cheers roared like thunder on both sides of the valley.

"It turns out that the rattan armor soldiers are afraid of fire!"

"Prime Minister Xiao is truly like a god descended to earth!"

Zhao Yun was full of admiration. He turned around and gave Xiao Fang a thumbs up, his eyes full of respect.

The other generals also exclaimed in praise and looked at the prime minister with admiration.

Liu Bei looked at Xiao Fang with a smug smile on his face:
"Everyone, are you still doubting Jing Lue's judgment now?"

Upon hearing this, all the generals lowered their heads, feeling ashamed of their previous doubts.

They were convinced by Xiao Fang and admired Liu Bei's ability to judge people.

Liu Bei had complete faith in Xiao Fang from beginning to end.

He is indeed a great leader!

"Your Majesty, I believe the main force of the barbarian army must be behind them."

"Let's annihilate Meng Huo's main force together."

Xiao Fang said respectfully, bowing his hands.

After hearing this, Liu Bei burst into laughter, pointed forward and said:

"Pass the order, all troops attack!"

The horn sounded suddenly, passionate and loud.

The Han army soldiers rushed towards the Nanman army bravely like tigers descending from the mountains.

A few miles south of the valley engulfed by flames, the barbarian army was marching northward in high spirits.

On horseback.

Meng Huo was full of pride, as if victory was already in his grasp.

In his opinion, Liu Bei would have no choice but to retreat northward in embarrassment.

For him, capturing Luyang City was just a matter of a snap of fingers.

What he was worried about at the moment was whether Liu Bei could escape Chengdu in one breath.

He was determined to capture the city of Chengdu.

This city, unlike other cities, must not be looted by Wutugu.

That city was where he was going to make his capital in the future.

So, Meng Huo ordered the army to speed up without hesitation and catch up with the rattan armor soldiers as soon as possible.

Upon seeing this, Cao Pi immediately cupped his hands in congratulations and said:

"I would like to congratulate the King of Nanzhong for helping me recover the capital of the Qin Empire."

This statement came out.

Meng Huo immediately understood his little plan.

This guy was clearly reminding himself that he, Meng Huo, was helping his Qin State to recapture the capital.

Chengdu was originally the capital of the Qin Dynasty. Meng Huo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sneer of sarcasm.

The meat is already in my mouth, and you want me to spit it out for you?

It's a big joke.

Do you think I'm stupid?

Of course, leading the Southern Barbarian Army in a bloody battle is doing charity, right?
Meng Huo was now planning in his mind that after capturing Chengdu, he would put this pseudo-Qin remnant under house arrest and make him his puppet.

of course.

On the surface, Meng Huo naturally could not turn against him.

Now is not the right time, he still needs to use the influence of the remnants of the Qin State.

So Meng Huo smiled and said:

"Don't worry, I will definitely hand over your old capital of Qin to you as promised."

After hearing this, Cao Pi breathed a sigh of relief.

With Meng Huo's words as a reassurance, he felt relieved.

So, the two of them couldn't wait to urge the army to speed up, wanting to enter the heart of Shu as soon as possible.

At this moment, in the sky ahead, countless streams of thick smoke rose into the sky like a giant black dragon.

Faintly, you can still hear the screams like ghosts howling.

Meng Huo couldn't help but be stunned.

The screams meant that the rattan armor soldiers had already engaged in battle with the Han army.

That big-eared thief didn’t run away?

How dare you have such courage to fight to the death with the Rattan Armor Army?

"Liu Bei, you have some courage!"

"Very good, my Rattan Armor Army can inflict heavy damage on you."

"Your army has been defeated miserably. I wonder how you can defend Chengdu!"

Meng Huo said this self-righteously, and then burst into laughter.

The generals also became excited and laughed.

Only Cheng Yu had a serious expression and a frown on his face, as if he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"King of Nanzhong, the situation is not good!"

After hesitating for a while, Cheng Yu had to speak cautiously.

When Meng Huo heard this, his face suddenly darkened.

This Cheng Yu is here to pour cold water on us again.

"What do you want to say?"

But Meng Huo was in a good mood at the moment and did not blame Cheng Yu.

He asked curiously instead.

Cheng Yu pointed forward and said with a worried look:

"Even if the Han army and the rattan armor army were fighting, how could there be such a big fire?"

"Doesn't the King of Nanzhong find it suspicious?"

When Meng Huo heard this, he looked up.

Sure enough, flames could be vaguely seen rising into the sky, dyeing the sky blood red.

This situation is indeed somewhat suspicious.

Meng Huo frowned, a hint of worry flashing across his eyes.

At this time, Zhu Rong said disapprovingly:
"What's suspicious? The rattan armor soldiers are impervious to arrows. Any conspiracy or trickery will be useless. So what if there's fire?"

Zhu Rong's words calmed Meng Huo down a little.

But he was still uneasy, so he sent people to check the battle situation.

After the troops were sent out, Meng Huo stayed where he was, looking at the battlefield from afar.

Faintly, the tragic howling sound kept ringing in my ears, which was creepy.

The feeling of uneasiness in Meng Huo's heart became stronger and stronger.

The screams made Meng Huo's nerves gradually tense to the extreme, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Just then, a fast horse came galloping.

It turned out that the scout who was spying on military intelligence had returned.

"Something bad happened!"

"The Rattan Armor Army was ambushed by the Han Army's fire attack and was completely wiped out~~"

The scout knelt on the ground, his face trembling with fear and shouting. (End of this chapter)
