Chapter 575 Are there spies among the barbarians? Meng Yi wiels his fist on Ma Su with tears in his
"Where the hell has Ma Su gone?"
It's like a destined encounter.
After the battle, Zhang He led his personal guards to search for Ma Su's whereabouts.
King Mulu said with a face full of resentment:
"No need to look anymore, that guy abandoned us and left this place alone."
"is it?"
"Then why the hell didn't you say so sooner?"
Zhang He seized the opportunity to grab a jackal and released its foul odor into King Mulu's face.
King Mulu screamed in terror.
It might not kill someone with its stench, but it can definitely make someone feel disgusted!
Besides King Mulu, more than 7,000 barbarian soldiers were taken prisoner.
Pang De and Zhang He took them all away, one by one.
The treatment these barbarian soldiers would receive was roughly that they would be sent to contribute to various infrastructure projects, well, no salary, just room and board provided.
……
Twenty miles outside Hammer God Mountain
In terms of the ability to escape, Ma Su probably learned it from Ma Chao and Liu Bei.
Although he has a terrible sense of direction, his movement speed is surprisingly fast, as if he's been given a buff!
"Huh...huh..."
Looking at the black smoke rising from Hammer God Mountain not far away, Ma Su was still shaken.
Even if King Mulu and the cave master were idiots, they wouldn't have set the mountain on fire themselves.
There's only one truth: those two idiots ran into Cao Cao's army and fell into an ambush!
"Hmph, it's because you two refused to listen to my advice that I lost the battle."
Ma Su and King Mulu had the same idea as the cave master they brought, and Ma Su also planned to shift the blame onto the other party after returning.
Dead people cannot speak.
As for the truth, that's just a matter of what the living say.
However, in order to dispel Meng Yi's doubts, Ma Su may have to resort to some unorthodox methods to help Meng Yi.
……
Nanzhong Royal Court (formerly the territory of the Meng clan)
I thought Ma Su was already quite abstract, but I never expected that there would be such a treacherous barbarian among the barbarians!
What's even more outrageous is that this treacherous man is his own son.
In fact, Meng Yi had three sons.
Meng Huo was the second son, and Meng You was the third son.
The eldest son was named Meng Jie.
But Meng Yi's eldest son has always been fond of Han culture.
Apart from their appearance resembling that of barbarians, their speech and behavior are almost identical to those of Han Chinese.
Two and a half years ago, Meng Jie moved to neighboring Jiaozhou under the pretext of seeking help from Han people to fight the epidemic in Mengzhou.
I stayed there for two and a half years, and I don't even know if I learned to sing and dance.
Two and a half years later, Meng Yi has already become the King of Nanzhong through his own efforts. Why would he need to bow down and be subservient to the Han people?
So, under Meng Yi's repeated urging, Meng Jie finally returned from Jiaozhou.
When father and son met again, Meng Jie's first words were not to ask how Meng Yi was doing, but to persuade Meng Yi to live in harmony with Cao Cao's army!
At this moment.
Meng Jie, wearing a scholar's cap, a scholar's robe, and a jade belt, bowed to Meng Yi and said:
"Father, Cao Jun's strength far exceeds your imagination."
"To make them an enemy is unwise!"
"Father, never forget the fate of the Southern Xiongnu and the Wuhuan!"
Meng Jie's voice was quite serious, which made Meng Yi, who was already short-tempered, quite unhappy.
"I sent you to Jiaozhou to help my people better understand the Han people, not to have you help the Han people fight against your own people!"
"If you are truly a good son, you should persuade Shi Xie, the governor of Jiaozhou, to become my ally!"
Surprisingly, Meng Yi did not reprimand Meng Jie in the same way he reprimanded his second son, Meng Huo.
This is all thanks to Mengjie having a good mother.
Once upon a time, Meng Yi's orientation was normal, and he also had his own ideal woman.
But Meng Yi and his beloved had a forbidden love and accidentally created their eldest son, Meng Jie.
According to the barbarian system, if someone who is not yet married but cannot resist eating the forbidden fruit and has a child, they will be sent up the mountain to be eaten by wild wolves!
At that time, Meng Yi was not yet a tribal leader, and was even discriminated against because of his mixed Han and barbarian heritage.
He was powerless to change the fate of his beloved being eaten by wolves.
But the eldest son, Mengjie, managed to survive, which was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
Since then, Meng Yi's approach has gradually gone astray.
However, Meng Jie was favored by Meng Yi because of his mother.
Now, seeing her eldest son contradicting her, Meng Yi felt both wronged and angry.
Meng Jie, however, failed to notice Meng Yi's emotions and continued speaking to himself:
"Father, your ambitions are too great."
"But compared to the heroes of the world, you are at most a regional warlord."
"So many heroes fell at the hands of Cao Cao."
"I really don't want to see my father's head roll!"
"I urge Father to send someone to negotiate peace with Cao Cao as soon as possible, or to submit to him and show his surrender."
"Bastard!"
Meng Yi finally reached her breaking point.
He slapped Meng Jie on the head.
The moment his palm landed, he subtly withdrew his strength.
"Are you a barbarian or a Han Chinese?"
"I really don't know why your mother gave birth to you in the first place?"
Hearing this, Meng Jie also became angry and couldn't help but retort:
Do you think I want to be a barbarian?
Meng Yi was stunned, staring blankly at Meng Jie.
Then, weakly, he gave the order to the guards beside him:
"Drag Meng Jie away! He is not to see anyone without my order!"
Meng Jie looked at Meng Yi expressionlessly.
In fact, he really wanted to be a Han Chinese!
But he only has one-quarter Han Chinese ancestry.
Meng Yi, who revered barbarians, and Meng Jie, who revered Han people, were father and son, yet they had an irreconcilable conflict.
What Meng Yi didn't know was...
Meng Jie, that fellow, actually guided Zhuge Liang several years later in history!
Meng Jie longed to become a Han Chinese.
Even though he was the eldest son, Meng Yi would not pass the position to him because of his attributes.
Therefore, historically, it was Meng Huo, not Meng Jie, who succeeded Meng Yi.
However, after Meng Huo succeeded to the throne, he did not exterminate Meng Jie, but instead allowed him to live in Jianning.
Upon learning of Meng Jie's identity, Zhuge Liang invited him to the army and appointed him as an advisor.
If it weren't for Meng Jie, the Shu army wouldn't have had a good way to deal with the poisonous springs in the southern region for a while.
Today, Meng Jie, this "returnee," has also given Meng Yi a bit of a shock.
However, he couldn't kill Meng Jie, so he could only keep Meng Jie imprisoned for the time being, planning to deal with Meng Jie after defeating Cao Cao's army.
House seemingly endless rain.
Ever since Cao Cao's sixth brother approached the borders of Nanzhong, Meng Yi's luck has plummeted, and he has lost the ambition he had when he unified Nanzhong.
Apart from Ma Su.
Of the 25,000 troops on Hammer God Mountain, a few managed to escape back.
Perhaps it was because Ma Su was a bit directionally challenged.
The routed troops, familiar with the terrain, returned to the royal court before Ma Su.
Upon seeing Meng Yi, the defeated soldiers, with tears streaming down their faces, poured out their grievances to Meng Yi.
"Your Majesty! Chief Mulu and Chief Dai are suffering terribly!"
"They were terribly ruined by that scoundrel Ma Su!"
Barbarians may not be eloquent, but they are quite talented in singing and dancing.
The defeated soldiers danced with joy, embellishing the story of their commander Ma Su's solo escape to Meng Yi.
Meng Yi was already unhappy because of Meng Jie.
Upon hearing the explanation from the defeated soldiers, his face quickly darkened.
Will the tragic execution of Ma Su by Meng Yi, amidst the ongoing pandemic, unfold as scheduled? Stay tuned!
