Chapter 822 Meng Huo’s Ambition

Nanzhong County, in a cave.

"The current turmoil in Yizhou is a great opportunity for us to make progress. Yizhou is a land of abundance. If we can capture it, we will have endless food and can drive Han men and women into slavery!"

"Think about the smooth Shu brocade, which feels smoother than a woman's skin, and the weapons and armor made by the Han people. They are all ours!"

There are about a thousand barbarians in the cave. Their attire is very strange. They are completely different from ordinary Han people. Many of them only wear lower clothes and their upper bodies are exposed. Their skin is painted with strange colors. I don’t know what kind of plant juice is used. Made it out. The woman doesn't wear much clothes and doesn't care about the exposed skin at all. This is the habit of barbarians.

And a young barbarian who was less than thirty years old spoke loudly in barbarian language. Many barbarians around him looked at him with eager eyes. If he could really capture Chengdu, he would have endless food. How good would it be to be driven by Han slaves?

Some barbarian women also have eager eyes. The living environment of barbarians is dangerous and their manufacturing ability is very weak. Let alone the prosperous Shu brocade, even ordinary cloth cannot be made. It is naturally best to get Shu brocade.

However, some people stared at him coldly. An old barbarian stood up and said: "Meng Huo, what you said is indeed very good, but are we really the opponents of the Han people? The Han people have sharp weapons and armor. Strong, how can we be the opponents of the Han people?"

Hearing the words of this old barbarian, many people recovered from their enthusiasm. He was right. No matter how good the Shu brocade is and no matter how much food there is in Chengdu, if we can't defeat the Han army, what's the use?

"Humph, you don't know this. I have received information a long time ago. Today's Yizhou has been attacked by the Xiliang army far away in Guanzhong. Their two armies are attacking each other. Now Yizhou is in chaos. It is us who are taking advantage of this opportunity. good chance!"

Meng Huo clenched his fists: "And the most important thing is that Yong Kai, the governor of Jianning, has contacted me and is willing to raise troops to attack Chengdu together. If so, can't we capture Chengdu?"

"What? Meng Huo convinced Jianning Prefect?"

"In this way, the barrier blocking us Southern Barbarians has disappeared."

"This is such a good opportunity, I must seize it!"

After hearing Meng Huo's words, many barbarians, especially young and middle-aged barbarians, were gearing up and looking forward to it. Some old barbarians shook their heads and objected: "We live very well in this land of Nanzhong, why do we have to fight to the death with the Han people?"

Unlike young Meng Huo, these old barbarians have no enterprising spirit, are relatively conservative, and are unwilling to take risks.

Meng Huo's face turned cold: "The Han people are forcing us to enslave us. Do you want to be slaves of the Han people for the rest of your life?"

Some young barbarians couldn't help shouting: "If you don't want to, overthrow these Han people!"

Seeing that Meng Huo had successfully aroused the emotions of many barbarians, an old barbarian with white hair stood up tremblingly and said to Meng Huo: "Meng Huo, I know you are very enterprising. But you are just a tribal leader, why can you lead us?"

"Why?"

Meng Huo laughed evilly and pulled out the short blade at his waist that shone with cold light: "That's all!"

"Kill me!"

"Meng Huo, what do you want to do?"

Several elderly barbarians were shocked and hurriedly stood up to rebuke Meng Huo. However, at this time, more than a hundred barbarian warriors rushed in from outside the cave. They were all strong and armed with sharp blades. They rushed forward without saying a word.

"Kill!"

For a moment, there were shouts, screams and screams intertwined in the cave. Under Meng Huo's order, almost all the hundreds of elderly barbarians were killed, while the rest were not killed. kill.

A dark and skinny young barbarian walked up to Meng Huo. He still had fresh blood on his body, and the smell of blood brought him over.

"Brother, we have killed them all."

Meng Huo nodded approvingly: "Good brother, you did a good job."

This man was Meng Huo's brother Meng You. He retreated behind Meng Huo and said nothing.

Although Meng Huo only killed all the old barbarians in the cave and did not attack anyone else, the southern barbarians in the cave looked at Meng Huo with fear in their eyes. After all, no one expected that he was actually preparing There are so many people, and it’s hard to tell who it will be next time.

"These old stubborns only want to stop us and have no intention of making progress at all, so I will kill them all!"

Meng Huo said loudly: "Only by killing them can we safely march north to attack Chengdu!"

"However, there is a saying among the Han people that a snake cannot survive without a head. Since we Southern Barbarians want to attack the Han people, we naturally need a leader. Who do you think is more suitable?"

After hearing Meng Huo's words, the barbarians all reacted, and no one dared to say anything.

A deer-headed barbarian with rat eyes rolled his eyes and said opportunistically: "Chief Meng Huo is brave and can lead everyone to resist the Han people. I think Chief Meng Huo can be the leader!"

Countless barbarians woke up from a dream and agreed: "That's right, leader Meng Huo can take on this important task!"

"Chief Meng Huo becomes our leader!"

There was a sound of agreement among the crowd, and Meng Huo couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, coughed a few times and said: "Since you all love me so much, I can't retreat, so I will be the leader of everyone. It's too early to proclaim the emperor now, so I will proclaim the king." ”

When the opportunistic barbarian saw this, he immediately fell to his knees and shouted: "Long live the king!"

Countless barbarians followed suit, falling to their knees like dominoes one after another, calling themselves kings.

Meng Huo laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, you are all heroes. When I conquer Chengdu, proclaim myself the emperor and establish the country, we will all be generals and prime ministers."

Hearing this, these barbarians became even more enthusiastic and praised them one by one. However, these barbarians had little education. They praised each other, which was nothing more than clichés. Meng Huo was still very confused at first. It's comfortable, and I feel like I'm flying, but I'm getting bored after listening to it.

"Okay, okay, everyone, shut up."

Meng Huo waved his hand and said to Meng You beside him: "Brother, you lead 10,000 barbarians to the south and meet up with Yong Kai in Jianning County. I will lead the army as backup. Let's advance forward and take Nanzhong first. , and then attack Chengdu."

Meng You was Meng Huo's biological brother, so Meng Huo was naturally at ease with him. Meng You nodded and walked out.

After Meng Huo became king in Nanzhong, he unified several barbarian armies in Nanzhong. There were more than 100,000 barbarians, making up a total of 30,000 barbarian troops. Among them, Meng You led 10,000 troops and marched north to Jianning County.
