Chapter 542 Meng Huo is to be married off? The King of Nanzhong has appeared!
Liu Bei ultimately decided to flee.
On a dark and windy night, Liu Bei rode his warhorse at the very front of the army.
Although they didn't quite leave the enemy in the dust, their speed steadily pulled ahead of the soldiers behind them.
The soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment.
Wu Ban hesitated for a moment, but decided to retreat with Liu Bei.
Although defecting now could still cause losses to Liu Bei's army.
However, the probability of capturing Liu Bei is infinitely close to zero.
It would be better to wait until we retreat to Chengdu before rebelling with my brother Wu Yi.
Wu Ban could still distinguish between what was greater and lesser merit.
After Liu Bei retreated, Cao Cao occupied Luocheng.
Cao Cao and his four scourges never expected Liu Bei's decision to abandon Luocheng.
But it doesn't hurt.
Even knowing it was Zhuge Liang's strategy.
The four pests in Cao Cao's camp only bring a sense of pleasure in nurturing them, and a sigh:
"Kongming has grown up!"
"I'm really getting more and more connected with the Minister's residence!"
Poor Liu Bei, he has no idea that he has a bunch of people under his command waiting to betray him.
The Wu brothers, Wu Yi and Wu Ban, needless to say.
Fan Jiang and Zhang Da were so angry they wanted to devour Zhang Fei!
There were also some local opportunists in Yizhou, such as Qiao Zhou's father, who were secretly plotting a defection.
Liu Bei himself probably never imagined that such a disgraceful act as defection could actually lead to internal competition!
……
No one can be unlucky forever.
Near the Lu River in southern China, good fortune finally came to Liu Bei.
Gao Ding led his 8,000 Yi warriors, eager to cross the Lu River.
But I never expected that the Lushui River would be so poisonous!
Nearly half of the warriors were poisoned by the Lushui River.
Taking advantage of the situation, Meng Yi launched a surprise attack and surrounded Gao Ding's troops.
With half of their fighting force destroyed, Gao Ding fought desperately to break through, only to be ambushed by Meng Huo's flying knives!
Little Meng's Flying Dagger, you deserve to have one!
Haute couture has fallen.
Before his death, his slightly open mouth suggested that he was trying to teach Meng Huo some kind of traditional Chinese culture.
I, Gao Ding, despise this kind of old man who plays with hidden weapons!
Meng Huo scratched his head sheepishly.
Afterwards, Meng Yi praised Meng Huo, feeling very pleased with his eldest son's enlightenment.
In this world, the sixth son runs rampant.
If you don't become the sixth one, you'll only be betrayed by the sixth one!
Unbeknownst to him, Meng Yi had actually grasped the true meaning of a chaotic world, which was truly remarkable.
After Gao Ding's death, the eight thousand Yi warriors were routed.
Meng Yi ultimately annihilated all eight thousand soldiers.
News of this battle quickly spread throughout the southern and central regions.
The number of tribes joining Meng Yi's cause after hearing the news is increasing daily.
In the blink of an eye, the epidemic in Meng has amassed an army of nearly 100,000!
Although there were many rabble among them, their imposing presence was quite intimidating at first glance.
Under Meng Yi's subtle instructions, his soldiers began to call him "King of the South"!
They even forged an imperial edict, claiming it was given to him by Liu Hong when he was alive.
Liu Hong, who had already passed away before Chapter 1, never dreamed that after so many years, he would still be used for marketing!
For a time, Meng Yi felt a sense of triumphant joy, like a horse galloping swiftly in the spring breeze.
He extended invitations to almost all the tribes in the South Central region to host a banquet exclusively for the "King of the South Central Region".
The number of tribes that came to participate was countless.
Only the old chieftain of Zhu Rong's tribe and a few other tribes that participated in Yong Kai's mercenaries did not come to participate.
The old clan chief Zhurong is truly ill.
The other clan leaders went to Jianning on their own and were naturally unable to attend the banquet held by Meng Yi in Nanzhong.
Meng Yi happily drank fine wine with all the tribal leaders present.
As the banquet was drawing to a close, he suddenly changed his expression and said:
"Does Elder Zhurong think I'm easy to fool?"
"Why does he only fall ill on this day of my joyous occasion, when he doesn't get sick at other times?"
"In my opinion, he is deliberately trying to trip me up and make me unhappy!"
Meng Yi's words left the tribal chiefs looking at each other in bewilderment.
Normally, before the outbreak of the epidemic, the Meng clan and the Zhurong clan had a harmonious relationship.
Otherwise, Meng Yi would not have come up with the idea of having his son Meng marry Xiao Zhurong.
Who says barbarians don't intermarry?
Meng Yi, a man of mixed Han and barbarian descent, was definitely a master strategist in the southern region.
Marrying Xiao Zhurong would allow Meng Huo to take control of the Zhurong tribe, which would benefit the entire Meng clan.
But now, things are different.
The Meng clan can be very strong without the power of the Zhurong clan.
The Zhurong tribe became the perfect target for making an example of them!
Cold-bloodedness was fully displayed in Meng Yi.
Fortunately, Ma Chao was already dead, otherwise the two would definitely have a lot in common.
Holding a tea party and exchanging ideas for three days and three nights is no problem.
But Mengyi didn't expect that while the tribal chiefs didn't object, his own eldest son jumped out.
Meng Huo suddenly pounced, knelt down, and said to Meng Yi:
"Father! Please reconsider!"
"The Zhurong tribe has always been on good terms with my Meng tribe. Perhaps the old chieftain is truly ill. Please forgive him this time!"
Meng Yi was furious.
He was too embarrassed to expose his son Meng Huo's little schemes!
Isn't it just because they value that little brat Zhu Rong?
What's so good about a little girl?
Meng Huo was still too young!
If we're talking about something really good, it has to be a big, fat woman weighing over 200 pounds who's truly amazing!
Therefore, Meng Yi would never allow Meng Huo, that fool, to be fooled by the mere little Zhu Rong.
He kicked Meng Huo and said disdainfully:
“My son, you are the son of the King of the South.”
"When I grow old, I will pass the throne of the King of Nanzhong to you."
"You mere Zhurong are not worthy of me!"
"I, your father, will marry you Ashima from the Peacock Tribe."
He is the woman who is most suitable for you!
Meng Huo was dumbfounded!
Ashima of the Peacock Tribe, don't let her beautiful name fool you.
However, Ashima is 1.5 meters tall and weighs about 200 kilograms, and she doesn't like to eat vegetables.
The thought of Ashima speaking in a low voice terrified Meng Huo so much that he almost changed his personality!
"No! Father! Absolutely not!"
For his own life and for a better future, Meng Huo struggled, hoping to save himself.
Unfortunately, Meng Yi was a domineering person who did not listen to Meng Huo's opinions at all.
Without saying a word, he sent men to drag Meng Huo away, intending to force Meng Huo to grow up.
Hmm, it's time to have a grandson!
Meng Yi thought so.
Meng Huo's wails rose and fell.
He could neither stop his own marriage nor stop Meng Yi's intention to make an example of the Zhurong tribe!
