Chapter 850 Undercurrent in the South

When the man saw Meng Huo, he immediately bowed: "Goodbye to the king!" Meng Huo snorted and asked unhappily: "What did Hongfa send you to do?" Seeing the other party asking directly, the man quickly replied: "My master wants to form an alliance with the king and deal with the evil thief Lu Bu together!"

Meng Huo said intimately, and sneered, and said, "I thought that Lu Bu was quite kind to the Red Bat, but I didn't expect that the Red Bat would want to betray Lu Bu?"

The man hurriedly said, "The king doesn't know anything! Although Lu Bu named my master the chief of Yongchang County on the surface, he was just a false name and had no real power. Moreover, the military power was all in the hands of the reckless Han man named Zhou Tong. My master was constrained in everything he did, which was really miserable! I think my master made such a great contribution to Lu Bu. Without my master's help, how could Lu Bu occupy Yongchang County so easily? Lu Bu crossed the river and burned the bridge and was ungrateful, and what he did was really heartbreaking! If my master hadn't been able to bear it, how could he betray Lu Bu! Since Lu Bu was unkind, my master would have to be unrighteous!"

Meng Huo couldn't help but believe it when he heard what he said. Then he asked, "What is the Red Bat going to do?"

Seeing that Meng Huo seemed to have believed it, the man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then said: "Now the princes of the Central Plains, Cao Pi, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian are mobilizing their troops to attack Lu Bu. This is a great opportunity for us to counterattack Lu Bu and regain our territory! My master said that when the war in the Central Plains begins, it will be the time for us to revive the tyranny! At that time, the king will raise an army to attack Dianchi Lake, and my master will raise a flag in Yongchang to escape from the Qin army! At that time, the Qin army will have no time to take care of our side, and we will definitely be able to recover our hometown!"

Meng Huo was excited by what he said, and couldn't help but slap in high fives. King Duosi sneered: "I don't forget the army of Zhang Liao stationed in Nanzhong and Queen Zhurong's army. Even if Lu Bu has no time to take care of Nanzhong, it is impossible to deal with them with our current strength."

The man smiled and said, "King Duosi said it in time. To be honest, it is really difficult to do it based on the strength of our two families. But what if Liu Bei's army and Sun Jian's army were added?" The few people present were stunned when they heard this. Meng Huo asked hurriedly: "What do you mean?"

The man looked mysterious and said, "Actually, my family members had already contacted Uncle Liu. Not long ago, Uncle Liu sent someone to inform him that they would mobilize 80,000 troops to attack Zhang Liao's troops stationed in Dianchi Lake after the war in the Central Plains began. At the same time, Sun Jian will also send 10,000 elite troops northwards to cut off the connection between Nanzhong and Jingzhou in one fell swoop." Meng Huo and others couldn't help but show a look of surprise. Meng Huo said anxiously: "This is true!" The man swears: "The villain can swear to the sky!" Then he said, "I believe that Sun Jian's envoy will come soon. At that time, the king will naturally know whether what the villain said is true or false!" Meng Huo and others immediately thought of the news that the messenger had entered the country just now, and immediately believed what the other party said.

Meng Huo said excitedly: "If this is the case, it will be really blessed by the gods! This battle will definitely destroy the Qin army and recover the old border!"

King Duosi asked: "It is naturally a good thing for Liu Bei and Sun Jian to send troops to Nanzhong. But driving tigers and swallowing wolves. After things are done, what will Liu Bei and Sun Jian make? Could it be that they will not take a city in Nanzhong?" Meng Huo thought of this problem and hurriedly looked at the man.

The man smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Liu has made a clear guarantee. After this battle, as long as Uncle Liu occupied Yu Yu, the rest of the world will return their original masters! And Sun Jian's purpose is to seize the vast Jiangnan area and has no intention of occupying any part of Nanzhong. I believe that the envoy of Sun Jian's side will explain this matter to the king!" Meng Huo said with great joy: "If so, I, Meng Huo, will be a niche in Uncle Liu from generation to generation, and will die for him!"

The man asked quickly: "Did the king agree to join our alliance?" Meng Huo nodded and said: "Of course! The opportunity for revenge is right in front of me, how could I miss it!"

The man said happily, "It's great!" Then he took out a pampering scroll and presented it to Meng Huo, saying, "This is the alliance book, please press the fingerprint on it." Meng Huo took the pampering scroll and looked carefully. Seeing that the content was a pledge to Tianmeng to jointly deal with Lu Bu's land. Finally, he said that if he violated this oath, he would be punished by heaven and earth to destroy gods and ghosts. He had already pressed a finger mark on it, and it was necessary to know that it was the fingerprint of the red bat. Meng Huo asked someone to bring red paint, and dipped it with his right thumb on it, then printed the fingerprint on the pampering scroll, and then returned the pampering scroll to the man.

The man took the parchment roll respectfully, looked at it, then folded it and collected it closely. He clasped his fists at Meng Huo and said, "Master, my master has something to ask for!" Meng Huo waved his hand and said generously: "You say!" "It's to be honest. Recently, my master caught Qionghua who came to Yongchang for inspection. My master heard that King Duosi had a medicine that could make people lose their minds and obey their commands. My master wanted to ask the king to give this strange medicine."

King Duosi smiled and said, "Does Lord Red Bat want to use Qionghua to deal with Zhurong? This is a good idea!"

Meng Huo then realized it, frowned, and shouted, "I don't agree!" King Duosi thought Meng Huo was still thinking about his old love, so he couldn't help but feel annoyed, and said angrily: "Master! Then Zhu Rong has already married Lu Bu, and is ruthless to you, why are you..."

Meng Huo stared at his eyes and said ruthlessly, "I can't let her die in the hands of others. I want to kill her with my own hands!" Everyone could not help but feel that the man hurt by love is much more terrible than the woman hurt by love! Meng Huo looked at the man and said in an unopposed tone: "You can do something to Zhu Rong, but you can't take her life. Her life must be left to me to deal with it." The man thought for a while, nodded, and said, "As long as she fainted, it's the same..." He looked at King Duosi and asked, "Just

Don't know if King Duosi has such medicine?" King Duosi said, "It's easier to make people faint for a while." Then he looked at Meng Huo and saw his instructions. Meng Huo said, "Give it." King Duosi responded, and then his heart moved, asking for instructions: "King, we have poisonous dragon grass now. Why not hand over some poisonous dragon grass to Lord Hongfu to help her deal with the Qin army stationed in Yongchang County." Meng Huo nodded. Seeing that Meng Huo agreed, King Duosi took the man down. Meng Huo watched the two left, and a cruel expression appeared in his eyes. He was already a little impatient.

His eyes turned to Chang'an, and Ailang led a large army westward, crossed Hangu Pass and Qin Pass, and soon arrived in Chang'an. Guo Jia and others left the city to greet him. Soon after, Ailang and others held a pre-station meeting in the hall of Chang'an District.

Ai Lang asked Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, has Liu Bei's army arrived in Meiwu?" Guo Jia clasped his fists and said: "According to the report of the scout not long ago, Liu Bei's vanguard troops had already arrived near Meiwu and set up camps, but the army had not arrived yet. It must be on the way to thousands of Meiwu."

Ailang nodded, thought for a while, and said to Guo Jia, "I plan to lead the army to Meiwu tomorrow morning." Guo Jia clasped his fists and said, "I have no objection." Ailang couldn't help frowning and said, "I don't know what's going on? I feel particularly awkward when I go to the battle this time!" Guo Jia smiled and said, "My lord must have traveled a long distance and was a little tired!" Ailang laughed loudly and nodded, "Yes, I will have a good rest tonight." Then he couldn't help but sigh and said depressedly: "Now that my wife is not around, I'm really not used to it!" Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

As night fell, Ailang stood on the pavilion in the backyard and looked at Chang'an City under the night. After Dong Zhuo's restoration and reconstruction, the Chang'an City has basically restored its old appearance, but compared to the prosperous and noisy Luoyang and other places, it seems that it is too deserted. It has not been long since nightfall, but the city of Chang'an has been silent. Except for the two restaurants on the main street not far ahead, the other places seem to be sleeping in their dreams.

At this time, Zhuge Liang, wearing a white feather fan and scarf, came up, came behind Ailang, clasped his fists and whispered: "Lord!..."

Ailang withdrew his thoughts and turned around and smiled, "Kongming! What's the situation in the military camp?" Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "My Qin army is worthy of being an elite army. Although the war is imminent, the officers and soldiers can sleep peacefully." Ailang smiled. Then he pointed to the Chang'an City in front of him and asked, "Kongming, do you think this Chang'an City is too deserted?" Zhuge Liang followed Ailang's finger and looked at the city in front of him, and said with some emotion: "Chang'an City has been warped many times. The people who originally lived in Chang'an and its surrounding areas died and fled. Now the people in Chang'an area are not as big as they were at their peak."

Ailang nodded and frowned and said, "The measures to migrate the people have been implemented. Why hasn't there been any improvement in Chang'an after so long?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Now the Central Plains are prosperous and prosperous, and even many ordinary people have a large family business. How can they abandon a stable life and start from scratch in a strange place? Besides, the bitter and cold land in the west and northwest is poor and there are no specialties, so it is really difficult to attract people to migrate! I am afraid that the local people will have the idea of ​​moving to the Central Plains instead." Ai Lang frowned and nodded, saying: "The situation in Liaodong is similar. I have introduced policies to encourage people to move to Liaodong. As a result, not only did I not have much results, but many people moved to the Central Plains, which forced me to introduce another policy to prohibit people from migrating and moving! Fortunately, those merchants attracted many people to live and do business in Liaodong. Otherwise, the current population of Liaodong would be much smaller than before we occupied it!"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "People seek benefits and avoid harm. This situation is considered human nature!"
