Chapter 49 Nanguanghua sent troops to Nanman Cao Mengde pacified Hebei 9
Meng Huo and Nan Ye unexpectedly thought of going together and wanted to win all five battles to deter the heroes. Meng You listened to his brother's declaration and couldn't help but say excitedly: "What my brother said is extremely true! As long as I subdue Zhu Rongdong, who dares to be the enemy of the 36 villages and 72 caves in Nanzhong? When my brother unified Nanzhong, he could take advantage of the war in the Central Plains to send troops to Yizhou and become a prince's amu.
Jin Huan Sanjie laughed and said, "There is another great benefit to this victory. Why did General Meng You forget?"
Meng You wondered, "What are the benefits besides subduing Zhu Rongdong, detering the surrounding caves and controlling the trading power?"
Dong Da smiled and said, "The advantage is that General Meng You has a beautiful sister-in-law!" As soon as the laughter in the silver pit suddenly sounded.
The ten-day appointment deadline is coming soon. At this time, there are countless camps around Zhurong Cave. There are countless caves in the south. The so-called 36 villages and 72 caves are just a general saying. A village or a Wubao in the Central Plains is a cave in the south and central region. The south of Lushui in Yizhou is the southern and central boundary. How can there be only 100 villages in the southern Xinjiang that occupies half of Yizhou?
Among these countless caves, the most powerful one is Meng Huo's silver pit, and Zhu Rongdong ranks second. On the surface, this martial arts competition is to test whether Meng Huo can get the heart of Zhu Ronghuabei, a thorny beauty. But in fact, it is a competition between the top two caves in the south.
If Meng Huo wins this competition, he can not only win the beauty, but also subdue Zhu Rongdong and become a veritable southern barbarian king. On the contrary, if the Dong of Zhu Rongdong wins, it means that Zhu Rongdong has the capital to compete with Meng Huo for the first cave in the south. I'm afraid that the first and second rankings will be transferred.
The chiefs of each cave and villages are not fools, and naturally they can figure out the way. Such as Jinhuan Sanjie, Dong Da and others bet in advance to fully support Meng to win, so that they will get rewards in the future.
On Dong's side, there are few supporters, even if the caves that have made friends with Dong are only hundreds of troops. This is all due to the previous failure of Dong Yu and Meng Huo to fight one-on-one. Although the one-on-one challenge bought time for Zhu Rongdong, it also recognized Zhu Rongdong's weak force. This is a fatal shortcoming in the south and central region where the strong are respected. Almost no one is optimistic that Dong Yu can win, even those caves that sent troops to help Dong Yu.
The reason why these caves help Dong Yu is not to get much benefit, nor do they think that Dong Yu can win, but to have their own calculations. Some caves suffered losses in the conflict with Meng Huo. It was Dong Yu who ambushed Meng Huo to get justice for them. Dong Yu naturally had to send troops to help them. Otherwise, he would be ungrateful and sent troops to repay Dong Yu's favor.
There are also some caves that often trade closely with Zhu Rongdong. Dong Yu borrowed troops from them. Although they don't think Dong Yu can win, they don't want to offend Dong Yu. In their opinion, as long as Meng Huo wins the test, he will marry Dong Yu. At that time, the two families will not turn against each other, but will form a family to unify Nanzhong. At this time, he refused Dong Yu. In the future, Dong Yu became Meng Huo's father-in-law, and the two families merged into one without looking for a back account! It is out of this consideration that these caves have sent hundreds of troops. Anyway, this war can't be fought, so why stir up the masses?
It can be said that except for Zhu Rongdong, all the chiefs who came to watch the ceremony took Dong Yu's test of Meng Huo as a scene, just to see the excitement.
The outside of Zhurong Cave is everywhere, and the inside of Zhurong Cave is even more lively. Although Zhurong Cave is called Dongfu, it is actually not a cave, but a big village. Dong Yu has been operating for many years, and Zhurong Cave has been similar to a small city. As the barbarians from the caves came to watch the ceremony, the streets were already full of people rubbing their shoulders, and all kinds of hawking were endless. But the most lively is the martial arts arena in Zhurong Cave.
At this time, the martial arts arena was already full of people, and the viewing platform closest to the school venue was full of more than 100 cave owners and village owners. Although these chiefs wear different clothes and have different customs, they have one thing in common at this time, that is, they are all excited to watch Dong Yu's martial arts competition to recruit relatives. This kind of bustle is not common in the south.
"Here we are! Here we go!" There was a sudden disturbance at the entrance of the school.
"Look! That's King Meng Huo. There are also Marshal Jinhuan Sanjie and Marshal Ahuiran. A barbarian said with his fingers.
Where is it? Let me have a look!" A young man on tiptoe.
"Oh, don't squeeze!" A middle-aged man said angrily.
"King Meng Huo is so majestic!" A barbarian girl stared at Meng Huo with a red face, her eyes full of small stars.
The ** of the crowd soon attracted the attention of Dong Yu on the viewing table. He introduced to Nan Ye sitting next to him: "Young dart head, the bull rider is Meng Huo."
When Nan Ye heard the words, he looked at the entrance of the campus and saw more than 100 people entering the campus. When the first person had thick eyebrows and big eyes, he had a wide mouth, and his beard was not long, but his temples and cheeks were like steel needles. It was Meng Huo. Nanye saw that he was embedded with a purple gold crown, wearing a rhino leather armor, a red brocade robe, a jade lion belt at his waist, green boots on his feet, two loose-patterned swords on his waist, a shield in his left hand, a big knife in his right hand, and a red-haired cow. Although he is not handsome, he is really majestic. He must have deliberately dressed up today. Bei showed his face in front of him.
Yang Xiong was the youngest and couldn't help laughing and said, "This Meng Huo is really different. He actually rode a bull." Although others don't say anything, they can be surprised.
Nan Ye smiled and said, "There are many different customs from those in the Central Plains, and there are many beasts and birds in the mountains. Bull riding is nothing, and elephant riding is nothing. You can't underestimate it.
As early as when the crowd came, Nanye popularized knowledge to them, so Nanye mentioned that the elephant generals did not ask. On the contrary, Dong Yu was surprised and said, "The young darts head is really well-informed and knows elephants. That giant beast is rare in our south.
Hua Beiqi said, "Has Dad and Brother Wang ever seen an elephant?"
Dong Yu said, "I saw it once in Yongchang in the early years, but I don't know where to see the young darts?"
Nan Yexin said: I've seen it in the zoo, but I can't tell you. He said, "I've only heard of it, and I haven't seen it in person."
Dong Yu nodded when he heard the words and pointed to Meng Huo's back and said, "The three people behind Meng Huo are also three cave owners, Jinhuan Sanjie, Dong Dana and Ahui mutter. After these three, the two are Meng Huo's brother Meng You and the general who are busy.
Nan Ye looked at the five people and heard that more than 100 cave owners and village owners behind him were also talking about Meng Huo and others, so he asked Dong Yu, "Since Meng Huo and Jin Huan Sanjie are all cave owners, why do the village owners behind him become Meng Huo become kings and call those three marshals?"
Dong Yu explained: "The customs of each cave are different. Some call the cave owner a king, and some call the village owner a marshal. Meng Huo's silver pit cave is extremely powerful. He calls himself the king, and other caves dare not object.
