The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 624: Operation Mengjie
In Guchang County, Meng Jie said to Meng Huo, who was once again devastated: "Meng Huo, listen to me! This is an attack by the opponent using a trebuchet and heavy fire oil, not some kind of divine punishment!"

"Fire oil? Trebuchet?" Meng Huo looked at his elder brother dully, his eyes full of doubts, his head full of question marks and doubts.

Looking at Meng Huo's expression, Meng Jie knew that his brother, whose mind was full of muscles, had no idea what these two things were.

That's right, Nanzhong is still relatively backward and primitive. It doesn't know what Menghuoyou is, and it doesn't produce it, otherwise it wouldn't use rattan armor.

Meng Jie looked at Meng Huo's confused and curious eyes and explained: "Fire oil is the black liquid that falls, which is easy to ignite and can help burn. It is indestructible when exposed to water, and can float and burn on the surface of water. It is a very terrible sharp weapon. , we do not produce this here in Nanzhong!"

After a pause, Meng Jie drank his saliva and continued: "The trebuchet is also called a trebuchet, it can throw a thousand catties of boulders a thousand steps away, it is a very sharp siege tool.

When I was in Chengdu back then, I heard from a traveling businessman that Lu Heng's Jiangdong Academy had developed a trebuchet with a more accurate aim, and now it seems that what he said was true. "

Meng Huo felt a little better when he heard Meng Jie's words. If the gods did not punish the Meng tribe, there would be a possibility of fighting again. The barbarians originally believed in various gods, and even Meng Huo was not immune.

"Brother, even though we were defeated twice in a row like this, the clansmen attached to us in the third hole suffered heavy losses! Now only some of the soldiers were disabled in the first hole, and even A Huinan died in the third hole. Some of the young and strong were also burned to death. Dong Siduo, the old fox, was not sorry to die, but Dong Dana was also as cunning as his father, so he might not dare to fight again after such a big loss.

Our own tribe has also suffered a lot of losses, and how can we fight this war when people are so panicked? "

Meng Jie thought for a while and suddenly thought of something and asked Meng Huo: "Brother, it is said that you have good relations with the kings of Fujian Pu, Jiuliao and Liyue, the three Yi kings?"

"It's natural, brother, I have a fatal friendship with them!" Meng Huo said, patting his chest. In recent years, he has made some fatal friendships with his bravery. The king of Yue, the Yi king of the three tribes of Yi tribe, had a close friendship with Meng Huo.

Meng Jie nodded: "Since this is the case, it's not that we are incapable of fighting. The defense here is handed over to Brother. Brother, please go and ask for reinforcements from King Minpu, King Jiuliao, and King Liyue."

"That's no problem, I'll leave right away, but brother, with our current soldiers and horses, how can we be the opponents of Lu Xun and Zhang Xi?" Meng Huo asked as if thinking of something.

"It's okay, I have my own way, brother, let's go as soon as possible!" Meng Jie looked confident and urged Meng Huo to find reinforcements immediately, so that Meng Huo could not say anything and set off directly.

After Meng Huo left, Meng Jie first asked Meng You to gather all the remaining barbarians together and loudly said to all the barbarians: "All the brothers of Meng tribe and caves, this defeat is not because our Meng tribe soldiers are not brave. It's a magic trick used by the enemy!

That's right! You heard it right. This is the demon method used by the enemy, not the punishment of the god of fire. Zhu Rong's family believes in the "Vulcan Zhu Rong" and will never let the enemy's demon method insult the god of fire Zhu Rong, so the Zhu Rong family will definitely Send troops to defeat these hateful Han people with us! "

"Mr. Meng Jie, is what you said true? Those people from the Zhu Rong clan will really send troops?"

"Sir, this is really a demon method used by the Han people. Didn't the gods condemn us?"

When Meng Jie's words were shouted loudly, the barbarians below all exploded, discussing something with each other, and some people still asked Meng Jie suspiciously.

Seeing that the barbarians were skeptical, Meng Jie threw out two bombshells in a row: "That's it! If you don't believe me, how about we stop sending troops before the Zhu Rong clan sends troops?

Moreover, Meng Huo has already gone to King Minpu, King Jiuliao, and King Liyue to ask for reinforcements from the three kings, and he believes that they will be able to avenge their relatives and friends soon! "

When the barbarian soldiers heard Meng Jie's assurance, they dispersed in disbelief. Meng Jie returned to his room and wrote two letters in succession to his confidants: "Quickly, send them to the master of Bana Cave, King Mulu, and Bring him to the cave master Ayiai."

The two cronies left immediately after receiving the letter. Meng Jie was busy defending Guchang, while Meng Huo and Meng You set off for the three kings' tribes of King Minpu, King Jiuliao, and King Liyue.

However, a few days later, King Mulu, the master of Bana Cave, and Ayiai, the master who brought the cave, received a letter from Meng Jie. Both of them looked cloudy and uncertain, but they both rushed towards the Dianchi Lake where Zhu Rong's tribe was located.

The patriarch Zhu Rong of Dianchi Lake received the news on the battlefield for the first time a few days ago. When he saw two Zhu Rong soldiers describing Tianhuo piously, he was also shocked: "What you saw is true?"

"Chief, we dare to guarantee with our lives, we have seen all this with our own eyes!" The two Zhurong tribe scouts loudly assured the authenticity of what they said.

"God Zhu Rong, bless us!" The patriarch Zhu Rong is now very fortunate that he didn't believe Meng Jie's nonsense and sent troops together. Otherwise, the divine fire that Zhu Rong showed off this time would also fall on the soldiers of Zhu Rong's clan.

Just when Patriarch Zhu Rong felt rejoiced, someone from Zhu Rong's tribe reported: "Patriarch, the Han man named Shiyan is here again!"

"Please hurry up!" Patriarch Zhu Rong looked excited.

This time Shiyan came here, naturally Lu Xun sent it on purpose, last time it was for diplomatic friendship, so this time Lu Xun showed his muscles again, it was not as simple as a friendly visit, this time he wanted to force the Zhurong clan to make a choice.

Lu Xun naturally knew the bottom line of Lu Heng's strategy for various ethnic groups. The two brothers Lu Heng and Lu Xun had a long discussion on this issue when they first set out for the expedition.

Lu Heng said that the complexity of the situation in southern Yizhou is likely to be more serious than that of Shanyue and Wuximan. This is only after Lu Heng saw the information given by Jinyiwei in the southern part of Yizhou. It turned out that 20 years ago there was no When he became a barbarian king, the southern part of Yizhou was so chaotic.

No wonder it was only Liu Yan and Liu Zhang who basically had no control over this place. It was also Meng Huo who unified so many forces, large and small, which can be said to have made Zhuge Liang a lot easier.

Therefore, the policy formulated by Lu Heng and Lu Xun is to win over all the tribes that can be won over, and attack stubborn resistance. Those tribes that can be won over are allowed to guarantee a certain degree of autonomy, but there is a bottom line that does not allow private armed forces. This needs to be warmed up slowly. You have to boil a frog to do it.

That's why Lu Xun launched a foreign policy to win over the Zhurong Ministry and attack the Meng Ministry, which was the first to stand out.
