Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 430 Before the Campfire
The change in King Dosi's expression did not hide anything from Zhuge Liang, who was very good at observing words and expressions.

When Zhuge Liang spoke just now, the reason why he did not shy away from King Dosi was not because he thought he could not understand Chinese, but because this was exactly what Zhuge Liang wanted to tell him, that is, to let King Dosi express his refusal of Liu Bei to enter Shu. Communicate to the entire Southern Barbarian tribe.

Zhuge Liang's strategy now has reached the state where it moistens things silently like spring rain.

Even unknowingly, King Dosi, the number one wise man in Nanman, has been used by him without knowing what happened. A lot.

This is also related to the fact that Zhuge Liang has experienced a lot of experience, and with Guo Jia, Jia Xu, and Xun Yu, the top wise men in the world, no one will stop growing, let alone Zhuge Liang who is as ambitious as the sky.

When they arrived at Meng Huo's camp, it was already dark, and the night sky in the mountains seemed even more tranquil.

In the open space in front of the tent, Meng Huo ordered people to light a huge bonfire, which burned vigorously, and the flames rushed upwards non-stop.

Beside the fire, nimble soldiers are cooking authentic local hemp sheep.

The skin and flesh of the roasted sheep are golden yellow, with a strong fragrance, and the sound of "squeaking" bursting from time to time can be heard non-stop.

Different from the roasted whole sheep full of the smell of foreign races in the north, the roasted hemp sheep of the Nanman people is more delicate. The temptation of the sound, smell, and color made the Nanman soldiers beside them swallow their saliva.

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang knew that fire was a mysterious belief for the Southern barbarians, and it was very solemn and formal.

He was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly reacted.

He knew that the skill he had revealed to Meng Huo and others had already achieved success, and these southern barbarian kings began to fear and take him seriously.

"Haha, sir, you are here to discuss cooperation, so you can be regarded as our friend. We barbarians have always been hospitable, how can we welcome the most distinguished guests without preparing a sumptuous meal?"

Meng Huo led Wu Tugu and other great kings and barbarians out of the camp. He looked at Zhuge Liang and the others with a smile on his face, and said loudly.

"This Meng Huo is able to bend and stretch, and he is also a rare talent."

Zhuge Liang was thinking to himself, but he didn't delay his dealings with Meng Huo, and replied: "Please trouble your majesty for being so polite, my lord will be very happy when he finds out."

Zhuge Liang was sure that what Meng Huo was most curious about now was his identity, so he took the initiative to bring up the topic now.

Sure enough, Meng Huo's eyes flickered unnaturally. First, he asked Zhuge Liang and the three to sit down at the table next to the campfire, and then pretended to be unintentional, and said flatteringly: "It is possible to get a resourceful person like Mr. A hero who is so brave and loyal to a brother must not be an unknown person."

"My lord is honorable, and even the princes of the world have to give way to three points when they see it. Haha, the king is also a first-class hero, and my lord often praises the king."

Zhuge Liang smiled, but did not directly reveal Liu Xie's identity. After all, Nanman is considered a foreign race, and now he has rebelled against the big man, and his reputation is not very good.

Zhuge Liang was also worried that outsiders would take advantage of this to attack Liu Xie one day, so he only let Meng Huo have a vague guess about their origin, and at the same time let these rebellious southern barbarians know the power behind them.

Meng Huo and King Dosi looked at each other, they had a guess very tacitly, and they didn't say it very wittily, but asked in a puzzled way: "You and I are so far apart, Mr. came here all the way. Don’t know what exactly to do, and don’t know if we can help?”

Zhuge Liang picked up the rice wine on the table and toasted Meng Huo, and said meaningfully: "Distance is not a problem, interests are the root cause of everything. When we have a common enemy, we have the same interests. , can be regarded as friends."

Wu Tugu, who had been drinking in a muffled voice beside him, was confused when he heard Zhuge Liang's profound words, and couldn't figure out why, so he couldn't help curling his lips and muttering: "Mother's Han people like to talk politely and pretend Advanced, after talking for a long time, no one can understand the ball, so it’s useless.”

Seeing this, Zhao Yun and Gao Chong couldn't help becoming slightly angry, annoyed at his rude words, they couldn't help but glared at Wu Tugu together angrily, the huge aura oppressed him so much that his back felt chilly, and he was a little out of breath.

"Haha, the king is right, but I was negligent."

Zhuge Liang was not angry, and shook his head to signal Zhao Yungao Chong to take back his momentum.

He really forgot that what he was facing now were these barbarians who had basically never read or write. It was better to be more straightforward than in the Central Plains.

Meng Huo saw that Zhuge Liang did not take the opportunity to make trouble, so he pretended to stare at Wu Tugu, apologized to Zhuge Liang, and continued, "I don't know what the master is going to do."

Wu Tugu didn't understand Zhuge Liang's words, but Meng Huo and King Duosi did, and knew that their so-called common enemies were Cao Cao and Liu Bei. pose a threat to them.

What they want to see is still to let the weak and incompetent Liu Zhang control the entire Yizhou, which is in their common interest.

"Now that Wang Xuance is taking the initiative to ask the king for peace, the king has the opportunity to withdraw from this battle and recharge his energy. At the same time, the king can take the opportunity to open his mouth to the Yizhou lion, and he can also let Wang Xuance go north to fight against Cao Cao. As long as Wang Xuance can withstand Cao Cao's offensive, Liu Zhang will not intend to invite other princes to meddle in Yizhou's affairs."

Zhuge Liang had seen King Dosi whispering in Meng Huo's ear before, and knew that King Dosi had already told Meng Huo about Liu Bei's possible meddling, so now he speaks loudly, so he doesn't have to worry about Meng Huo hearing it abruptly.

"I will definitely consider what you said seriously, but what does it have to do with the cooperation between you and me?"

As expected, Meng Huo was not a light-hearted person. He was not fooled by Zhuge Liang's advice. Instead, he was rational. He did not believe that Zhuge Liang risked his life just to come to his camp to explain his doubts to him.

Zhuge Liang was not surprised, and still replied in a good manner: "I have already said that the interests of the king and my lord are the same. As long as Yizhou can block Cao Cao, that is enough for my lord. "

"However, what my lord values ​​more is the friendship with the king, and I also want to take the opportunity to cooperate with the king in depth and make friends."

Zhuge Liang paused, looked at Meng Huo and continued.

"Sure enough, what Dosi said is right, these Han people will play tricks, and after talking for a long time, they still show their fox's tail."

Although Meng Huo was contemptuous in his heart, he was relieved because of this. He couldn't be at ease until he knew what Zhuge Liang's purpose was.
