Chapter 603: Apologizing for the crime
"Lord Xuande, King Meng Huo is here..." Qin Mi entered the big tent with a strange look on his face and reported to Liu Bei.
"Oh? Meng Huo is here? Come on, please!"
Liu Bei was stunned. Meng Huo came, and it was not the first time he met Meng Huo, so why did he look so strange?
"Oh! It was my fault for being too careless. I will go out to greet him right away!" Suddenly Liu Bei slapped his head and realized what was happening .
Now Meng Huo is the governor of Southern Province, and his official rank is the same as Liu Bei. Although he is now the temporary supreme commander of the four states, he should also go out to welcome Meng Huo.
"...You'll know when you go out!" Qin Mi's mouth twitched slightly, but in the end he couldn't say anything, he just said helplessly.
Liu Bei walked out of the tent full of doubts, and then saw a huge hill appear in front of him.
"Meng Huo has come to ask for forgiveness!"
When Meng Huo saw Liu Bei appear, he lowered his head and said in a deep voice that this was the best solution he could think of, which was to confess and receive leniency.
"Why is it so? Why is it so? Quick, quick, someone come and take it away!"
Liu Bei was stunned and quickly helped Meng Huo take the thorns off his back so that someone nearby could take him away.
He didn't know what had happened, but Meng Huo had already come to apologize, so this must be a big deal.
Could it be that there is civil unrest in Nanzhou and Meng Huo is unable to spare any manpower to respond to the call?
Based on his understanding of Meng Huo and the barbarians, there should be no other crime worthy of Meng Huo's doing this.
When Meng Huo told the story, everyone in the camp couldn't help laughing.
They were originally attracted by the noise of Meng Huo carrying a thorny stick to ask for forgiveness, but they did not expect this to happen.
But in a flash, they couldn't laugh anymore, because the person sitting there had not experienced that dark age.
In that era, Meng Huo's behavior was indeed not excessive at all.
Even if he pleaded guilty, he would probably not escape death, and the best outcome would be exile thousands of miles away.
“Hahahahahahaha!”
Liu Bei stopped in Bengbu and laughed loudly, and his laughter spread throughout the entire tent.
Everyone around started laughing, leaving Meng Huo alone with a confused look on his face. In the end, he also laughed awkwardly.
"Let me tell you in detail!"
Liu Bei pulled Meng Huo to sit in the main seat, and then patiently explained to him all the twists and turns in the story.
"So, not only am I not guilty, but I have done something meritorious!" Meng Huo slapped his thigh when he heard the last word.
"Hahaha, that's right. My Han Dynasty is now respected by both inside and outside the country, so we won't play around with those twists and turns anymore. But Meng Huo, you still need to find someone to sort out the situation in Nanzhou for you." Liu Bei said with a smile.
"Although the imperial court doesn't care about these things, you must at least let the imperial court know how powerful Nanzhou is!" Liu Bei paused when he said this.
"Know what will happen?" Meng Huo became nervous.
"I will allocate more food to you!" Liu Bei laughed.
Liu Bei was happy, but after the battle reports from the front line were sent back, he became a little worried about the direction of the war.
Compared with Jingzhou and Jiaozhou, which are of little use, Yizhou itself is somewhat weak. There is not much confidence in facing the counterattack of the Kushan Empire.
As a result, Meng Huo started with an army of 200,000, all of whom were elite soldiers. Even if their organizational ability was a little weak, they were still an absolutely powerful force.
"Hold a banquet tonight. Meng Huo, invite the leaders of Nanzhou here so we can get to know each other. We will have to cooperate on the battlefield later!"
Liu Bei said with a smile, and then extended an invitation to the banquet.
"Then Lord Xuande, you must prepare more food, they can eat a lot!" Meng Huo showed a simple smile.
Throw a banquet? Liu Bei is a good man!
"Of course, of course!"
Liu Bei didn't care at all. Being able to eat is a skill. The person who eats the most in the whole Yizhou is Zhang Fei. He can be called a glutton. He doesn't care about eating a few whole sheep.
Meng Huo went back happily and told all the leaders the good news, and won their unanimous approval.
Liu Bei is a good man!
It was not until the evening that Liu Bei finally understood what it meant to be able to eat.
He had already prepared food according to Zhang Fei's appetite until he was 80% full, but he still kept eating.
Liu Bei didn't care about these trivial matters. After all, Yizhou was a land of abundance and there was enough food.
He was just a little surprised. It was rare to find someone who could eat more than Zhang Fei. It seemed that only Xu Chu and Dian Wei in Luoyang could do it.
"Ahem, Lord Xuande, let me introduce you. This is my wife, and she is also the number one warrior in our Nanzhou, Zhu Rong!"
Meng Huo felt a little embarrassed. He had clearly treated these guys to a meal when he came, so how could they still eat so much?
"Zhu Rong?" Liu Bei had an unnatural expression on his face, and so did Qin Mi and others beside him.
After all, the name of the God of Fire Zhurong is quite famous, and he is also the number one warrior, so they immediately thought of those myths and legends.
After all, Guo Hao has the Xuanyuan Sword and the Jiuzhou Ding in his hands, so the appearance of Zhu Rong seems reasonable.
"Greetings to the Governor of Yizhou!" Zhu Rong slightly restrained his unruly wildness and saluted majestically, and the group of people also returned the salute.
After all, Zhu Rong is now Meng Huo's wife, and her status is not low, so she should be respected.
"This is my brother Wutugu, who is second only to my wife in terms of his ability to break through worlds. He is the second most powerful warrior in Nanzhou!" Meng Huo went on to introduce Wutugu.
However, Wutugu was busy eating, so Meng Huo just introduced him briefly and then skipped over it and started introducing other cave masters.
"This is the Lord of Mulu Cave, commanding the beast soldiers..."
"This is the Shanyin Cave Master..."
After all the introductions were completed, Liu Bei showed an obvious look of surprise.
In one state, two generals broke through the boundary and three generals had their internal Qi leave the body. This configuration is already quite luxurious. You should know that among the generals born in Bingzhou, at most one general had broken through the boundary and two had their internal Qi leave the body . This configuration in Nanzhou can be ranked among the top five among the fifteen states.
"Mr. Nanzhou, you said before that there were an additional 100,000 troops. I wonder what level of soldiers they are?" Qin Mi stood up quietly and began to ask key questions.
They only knew that Meng Huo had a lot of soldiers. Based on their usual understanding of the barbarians, they thought Meng Huo was quite powerful, but they did .
"Well, this is hard to say!" When talking about business, Meng Huo became .
"We are different from the Central Plains Cloud System. Our strength comes from the body. Those who came this time are all strong men from various tribes, but it is still unknown whether a large army can fight!"
Meng Huo is still quite capable. At least he has a clear understanding of the power gap between the barbarians and the imperial court.
He had seen the Yulin Army, and he understood that even if the most elite warriors among the barbarians were combined, they would never be a match for the Yulin Army.
"However, in a complex terrain, the combat effectiveness of these warriors should be far superior to the so-called single-talent soldiers!"
Meng Huo finally made a judgment based on his intuition.
