Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 467
To the surprise of Liu Xie and others, Meng You did not agree directly.

Guo Jia also couldn't help frowning and pondering, secretly wondering if what he said just now was too advanced, and Meng You, a five-year-old and three-year-old man, couldn't understand it?

But looking at the huge change in his attitude towards Liu Xie, it's obvious that he understood it. How could he still be so cautious?

Besides, since Meng Huo would send him here, he must have told Meng You the joint decision of several of their leaders a long time ago. Meng You shouldn't have to think about it before making a decision now.

"As you said, this matter is related to the interests of the two races, so you shouldn't speak lightly. Since you need some time to think carefully, I'll explain it to you once. I, Liu Xie, can give you the life you want. But you must submit to the big man. To submit to me, you must respect my order, follow my rules, and you must not disobey or rebel."

Liu Xie stared into Meng You's eyes and said seriously.

Meng You was confused by what he heard. He had never liked Han culture. Liu Xie spoke quickly and urgently. He only got a general idea of ​​what it meant, but he couldn't figure it out at all.

He could only barely remember it, nodded to show that he heard clearly, and still asked for instructions, saying that he would have to go back and think about it before replying.

Liu Xie smiled, looked at the time and it was almost time for the luncheon, and said cheerfully: "Let's stop talking about political affairs first. The envoy has come from afar, and today he will be refreshed and tired."

As soon as he heard that it was time to eat, Meng You, who had been coveting the delicious food and wine of the Central Plains for a long time, immediately forgot all the things just now, and agreed with a shy smile.

The guests were enjoying themselves while drinking and drinking, and there was no need to say much.

After Meng You left, Liu Xie sat down with Xun Yu and Guo Jia again and began to discuss.

"My lord, this Meng You is a bit weird."

Guo Jia spoke quickly and spoke directly.

Liu Xie shook his head and said, "The weird thing is not Meng You, but the Southern Barbarian leader behind him."

"Lord, what do you mean by this?"

Both Xun Yu and Guo Jia were a little puzzled. Why did Liu Xie suddenly involve Meng Huo, King Duosi and others who were far away in Nanzhong.

"Meng You is not a scheming person. His arrogance and respect are indeed awakened by Feng Xiao. It's just that he thinks too simply. Hmph, once the barbarians surrender to me, how can he still be domineering? , oppressing the people."

Liu Xie said coldly that what he wanted was not to submit to the barbarians of the Han Dynasty. Once the barbarians surrendered to him, he would treat them equally. If Meng You remained stubborn, he would naturally be severely punished by him.

Liu Xie paused and then said: "It's strange that Meng You didn't agree directly. According to his intelligence, he couldn't see this level. And this matter is of great importance. Could it be that Meng Huo and those leaders , do you really feel relieved to let Meng You come to Chenliu alone to take charge of this matter?"

Xun Yu came to a realization and said, "My lord, what you mean is that Meng Youming is the envoy. In fact, it's just used to deceive people. Meng Huo must have sent other resourceful people to really be in charge of making decisions?"

Liu Xie smiled and nodded, and then said: "I deliberately spoke hastily and quickly before, just to test Meng You. He was so swallowed that he didn't understand it at all. When he goes back now, he will definitely be anxious Find a real decisive person to discuss this matter. I have let Xuan Jing Division's shadow guards follow him secretly, and counting the time, there should be a result."

As soon as Liu Xie's words fell, Han Tuozhou walked in with a bow, bowed to Liu Xie, and said with a little surprise: "My lord really knows things like a god. As soon as Meng You went back, he immediately found a man dressed as an entourage. The man hid in the room and talked secretly, and was very cautious. I still asked the maid to serve Shangcha tea, and I was lucky enough to find out that Meng You called that man—brother!"

"Brother? Didn't you say that Meng Huo came in person?"

Liu Xie couldn't help being surprised, Meng Huo was so brave, he quietly left Nanzhong and ran to Chen Liulai.

"This Meng Huo is not bad. He is so bold for the people of the tribe, and he has done his best."

Liu Xie didn't doubt the authenticity of Han Tuozhou's news. Since he dared to tell him the news, he didn't have to worry about whether it was true or not.

Meng Huo was also really extraordinary. The Nanman tribe was not monolithic, and there were quite a few people coveting his position as King of Nanzhong.

Now that he has quietly left Nanzhong, it is easy for other kings to seize the opportunity to annex his tribe.

Liu Xie admired him a little bit. Because of the story of "Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times", his impression of Meng Huo remained at the level of a brave and foolish man.

But now it seems that Meng Huo's fearless spirit towards his people is precious even among the Han people.

"Don't act rashly, just pretend you don't know anything."

Liu Xie raised his hand lightly. Meng Huo had no ill intentions towards him, and he had no intention of taking the opportunity to hold Meng Huo hostage.

Han Yuzhou took the order and retreated to let the shadow guards retreat.

Xun Yu is also a person who loves the common people. He couldn't help but said: "From this point of view, the barbarians can really be subdued. With people like Meng Huo, there is no need to worry about their loyalty. The only worry is the south-central distance." We are too far away."

Guo Jia said with a different meaning: "As long as we use it well, this may not be a strange move at critical moments."

Liu Xie looked at the faint smile on Guo Jia's face and was slightly startled. He quickly reacted and said with a wry smile: "Fengxiao's plans have always been generous. It's enough that the barbarians can rely on me now. I really want to make them They cooperate with me in action, not to mention the question of trustworthiness or not, but it is very difficult for them to implement the plan without showing their feet."

Guo Jia's strategy, one is to win by surprise, so that people can't think of his plan even if they think about it.

The second is to plan ahead. Before you even noticed that there is this enemy, Guo Jia has already been quietly plotting against you.

Although Guo Jia didn't say it clearly, Liu Xie could roughly guess his strategy.

Guo Jia most likely wanted him to deliberately break up with Meng Huo, but secretly he had already accepted the entire barbarian tribe, and then used the barbarian tribe as a surprise soldier. In the future, whether he attacked Jingzhou or plotted against Yizhou, the barbarian tribe could A sudden attack from Nanzhong caught the opponent by surprise.

Although the plan is good, it is very difficult to operate.

The biggest key is that before the real relationship between the two of them is exposed, it is difficult for Liu Xie to give the barbarians any substantial help.

But without the drive of such interests, Liu Xie was not sure whether Meng Huo really had the determination to remain loyal to him all the time.

Even if Meng Huo is willing, other leaders and kings may not have such insight.

Don't look at how friendly and kind they were to Zhuge Liang before, it was all because Zhuge Liang showed them enough temptation.

Once Liu Xie's help cannot keep up, this group of people will never be loyal.
