Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 147 Zhao Botao Divorces the Southern Barbarian King Zang Xuangao Li according to Han Ninghou
"Kneel down!" The bound E Huan was escorted into Zhao Feng's military tent by two wolf-like guards. E Huan was extremely tall, and Zhao Feng himself was 1 meters tall. Apart from Guan Yu, he is the tallest in the room, but Zhao Feng estimates that E Huan in front of him should be 82 meters tall, and Guan Yu is obviously shorter than him.

Although E Huan was embarrassed, he stubbornly refused to kneel.Seeing this, Zhao Feng signaled the soldiers to let him go, snorted and asked, "Are you willing to surrender?"

"Since he has been captured, he is dead!" E Huan was very straightforward.He was defeated face to face, and he couldn't scold him for being scheming, but he didn't want to be a softie when he was about to die.

"Your Excellency is a straightforward person, very kind, drag him down with me and chop him up." Zhao Feng waved his hand, and the two guards who escorted E Huan to the camp were ready to escort him back.E Huan didn't wait for them to do anything, and walked out of the tent first with his head held high.

"Keep people under the knife!" Just when E Huan was about to pay the bill, he saw Sha Moke opened the curtain and hurried in.After meeting with Zhao Feng and the other generals, Shamoke said out of breath, "General Zhao, although this E Huan is our enemy, he is not under Meng Huo. Please spare his life, General!" Jian Shamoke was sweating profusely. He was still recruiting soldiers just now, and came here in a hurry when he heard that E Huan was going to be beheaded.

"General Sha, he is not Meng Huo's subordinate, how could he be our enemy?" Chen Daoqi asked beside him.

"General Zhao doesn't know that E Huan is a subordinate of Gao Ding, the prefect of Yuejia. Meng Huo did his best to advance this time, and prefect Gao was just forced to act. If E Huan is killed, I'm afraid the Nanzhong people If you are in danger, you will definitely wait with me forever!" Samoke remonstrated bitterly.

"Is that so!" Zhao Feng pondered for a while after hearing the words, ordered someone to bring E Huan forward and asked, "Are you a subordinate of Governor Gao?"

Although E Huan was not afraid of death, no one was in a hurry to die. Seeing that the situation had turned around, he quickly agreed: "Exactly, I am the general under the command of the prefect Gao."

"Since that is the case, the prefect Gao is the prefect under Liu Yizhou's rule, and Liu Yizhou and my lord are brotherly relatives. Why do you wait to help Meng Huo's traitor and violate our border?" Zhao Feng asked with a serious expression.E Huan didn't know these twists and turns, heard Zhao Feng's voice was sharp, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and replied: "This is such an important matter, how can we young generals know, but Meng Huo bullies others, and my lord is under his coercion. I don't know."

"Since that's the case, I'll let you go back and make a letter. You have to hand it over to Prefect Gao, so that he won't follow Meng Huo to be a minion again in the future, you know?" Zhao Feng nodded and asked.E Huan didn't expect that he could still escape from death, so he immediately agreed not to mention it.Zhao Feng wrote a letter with a pen, then sealed it in a cowhide case, and asked E Huan to take it back to Gao Ding.

"General, do you want to provoke Gao Ding and Meng Huo?" Gan Ning, who watched the whole process, asked after E Huan left. "Xing Ba did not expect anything bad, I was prepared to do so." Zhao Feng said with a chuckle.Seeing that Chen Dao, Zhou Tai and others didn't quite understand, Zhao Feng simply talked to them more clearly.

According to Samoke, the Nanzhong Man tribe is different from their Wuxi Man tribe. The Wuxi Man tribe is dominated by the Shamoke family, and the other dozens of tribes are obviously much smaller than theirs.This is not the case in Nanzhong. Since the pre-Qin period, there have been four major tribes and some small tribes in Nanzhong.A few years ago, the leaders of these four tribes were Meng Huo, Gao Ding, Zhu Xiong and Yang Feng.The population and military strength of these four tribes are similar, and they have been close in strength for so many years, and they are relatively peaceful with each other.

Liu Zhang's father, Liu Yan, can be said to be a skilled politician.But throughout his life, he couldn't solve the Nanman problem, so he could only designate their leaders as the prefects of Yuejia, Yunnan, Yongchang, and Zangcang counties.In Liu Zhang's generation, they basically gave up ownership of the four Nanzhong counties.

However, this balance was broken five years ago. The reason was that Meng Huo married Zhu Rong, Zhu Xiong's daughter. In addition, Zhu Xiong died of illness last year, and his son was still young. The two tribes basically It was Meng Huo who had the final say.After Meng Huo's strength soared, the combination of kindness and power made Yang Feng and Gao Ding surrender one after another. In this way, the ministries of Nanzhong were basically unified.This time, Meng Huo sent troops for the first time after unifying the south, in order to lay down a foundation and establish his own prestige.Of course, Meng Huo also attracted Gao Ding and Yang Feng.Although the two were not very willing to come to Jingnan to confront others, they had to obey under Meng Huo's intimidation.

"So that's how it is!" Gan Ning and the others suddenly realized after listening to it. At this moment, Zhao Feng ordered Sha Moke's Wudang Flying Army to send people to spread rumors among the captured prisoners, saying that Meng Huo's men must be beheaded. Yang Feng and Gao Ding's subordinates were fine, but the prisoners were suddenly very anxious.But Zhao Feng ignored them for a while, and only locked them up for one night.

The next morning, the gate of the camp where more than a thousand prisoners were held creaked open, and a group of soldiers surrounded a captain and ordered the prisoners to come forward one by one to report who they were subordinates to.The prisoners believed the rumors last night, except for a few second-handers, who would dare to say that they are Meng Huo's subordinates?Everyone said they were subordinates of Yang Feng or Gao Ding.As a result, those who claimed to be under Meng Huo's subordinates were all taken away by the captain and chopped up; those who claimed to belong to Gao Ding and Yang Feng's subordinates went to the side to receive a bag of grain and rice, and then they were all released. up.At the beginning, these people couldn't believe that they were really let go like this. After several miles out of the camp, no one came to arrest them, so they believed it was true.

"Is there such a thing?" Meng Huo, the leader of the barbarian army in the large tent of the barbarian army in the southwest of the Yuanjiang River, had a gloomy expression when he heard the report from his subordinates.In front of him, several barbarians who had just been released were kneeling on the ground and telling him what happened before.

Meng Huo is 26 years old this year. Unlike the general Nanzhong people who are frogs in a well, Meng Huo traveled to the middle of Sichuan when he was a teenager, and he is quite outward about the culture and prosperity of the Han people.Over time, just yearning can no longer satisfy him. He hopes that he can no longer live in the impoverished Nanzhong, but replace the Han people as the ruler of Yizhou and even the world.For this reason, he integrated the ministries of Nanzhong, and put forward the provocative slogan of establishing a country of Nanzhong.Right now, this battle is even more crucial, and if they lose, there will be nothing to talk about.

Looking at the people kneeling in front of him, Meng Huo felt even more irritable, and immediately shouted: "In order to save your life, you pretended to be Yang Feng and Gao Ding's subordinates, what use is it for me to keep you weak bones? Come on, come with me Drag it down and cut it off!"

"Your Majesty, please spare me!" These few people who escaped from death never expected that they would not die in the hands of the Jingzhou army, but now Meng Huo wanted to kill them, and even begged for mercy, but they were ignored. In the end, these hundreds of escaped Those who came back were beheaded by Meng Huo's order.After the news spread, Meng Huo's subordinates were all disappointed.

Not to mention that Meng Huo was sulking at this time, E Huan's boss Gao Ding listened to E Huan's account of the situation in the tent, and then read Zhao Feng's letter to him, but he was a little confused.At this moment, the subordinates came down to report that it was Yang Feng who asked to see him.

"Brother Yang, you also know what happened here?" Gao Ding asked quickly when he saw Yang Feng coming.

"I already know, I never expected Zhao Botao to be so benevolent and righteous, he will not kill any of our soldiers." Yang Feng sighed.

"It's rare that Zhao Botao is willing to understand our difficulties, but what should we do now?" Gao Ding knew that Yang Feng was far more resourceful than himself, so he had to listen to his ideas first.

"This is quite embarrassing!" Yang Feng thought for a long time, but shook his head and smiled wryly.Right now, Meng Huo's army was blocked by the Yuan River, and every time he sent people across the river, the Jingxiang Navy led by Gan Ning gave them a head-on blow.Under the impact of the Jingzhou navy's turtle boats, the hastily built rafts were often smashed into a pile of scattered bamboo sticks and wood chips, and the people on board were almost dead.In the past two days, Meng Huo tried his best to cross the river.However, his skills are not as good as others, and Meng Huo is not a resourceful person, so he is still at a loss.

"General, since we can't cross the river, and General Zhao has kindness to us, why don't you just stop and return to Nanzhong?" E Huan knew that Yang Feng and Gao Ding had a deadly friendship, so he directly remonstrated without avoiding suspicion.Yang Feng looked at Gao Ding and E Huan who looked hopeful, and finally sighed: "I'm stuck here and can't advance or retreat, I think it's better to wait for a day or two, and then persuade the king to withdraw the troops Let's go." After a pause, Yang Feng said again: "Unless it is absolutely necessary, don't make an enemy of General Zhao. He has the grace of not killing the soldiers, and being an enemy will make the army's morale unstable."

"I know!" Gao Ding also nodded.The people in Nanzhong are the most clear about grievances and grievances. If they are enemies with their benefactors, I am afraid that these big soldiers under their command may not be willing to do it. If it is serious, their rule in the clan will be affected.

Not to mention the different dreams of the various ministries in Nanzhong, among the four armies, the most unobtrusive one is the Hanzhong army that attacked Shangyong.Of course, being unobtrusive doesn’t mean there wasn’t much fighting. Under the personal command of Zhang Lu’s younger brother Zhang Wei, waves of Hanzhong sergeants killed Shangyong City, and then fought against Zang Ba, Fu Tong and Shen Dan Shenyi. Under the command of the brothers to fight back, one after another turned into corpses and was thrown away.

After attacking the city for half a month, the Hanzhong army suffered more than [-] casualties, while the Shangyong defenders suffered no more than [-] casualties. "General Zang, these Hanzhong soldiers are really not afraid of death!" Shen Dan looked at the Hanzhong soldiers who rushed forward one by one. Although the casualties were heavy, the successors still came up without hesitation.

"I heard that Zhang Lu is running the army in an evil way, so the soldiers are not afraid of death." Zang Ba briefly explained the situation.After a pause, Zang Ba said again: "Although the Hanzhong Army is brave, its combat power is poor. We just need to stick to it step by step, and we will be safe."

"That's good." Shen Dan nodded.Although the Shen brothers were the famous second and fifth sons during the Three Kingdoms period, it also depends on whether the object is worthy of their surrender.If it were Cao Cao, maybe they would consider surrendering.But Zhang Lu, who is facing him now, obviously does not have this kind of charm.

"Eh, the Hanzhong Army still has cavalry?" Zang Ba suddenly discovered that behind the Hanzhong Army's untidy formation, there was still a group of cavalry standing ready.Seeing this, Shen Dan explained to him: "Zhang Lu lives in Hanzhong and has enough food. He often exchanges grain and rice with people from Xiqiang for horses."

"It turns out that they are all good horses!" Zang Bajiu was in northern Xinjiang, and was once one of the generals of the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry. The quality of Xiliang horses is better than that of Youzhou horses, Bingzhou horses and Guanzhong horses.Although Liu Beijun now has more than 3 cavalry, there are very few really good horses among them, and most of them are Shandong horses.

"Zhang Lu's son also has such a good horse? Just wait, these good horses will be mine sooner or later!" Zang Ba looked at the Xiliang horse in front of him, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.Shen Dan beside him couldn't help laughing secretly at his salivating appearance.
