Chapter 570: Are Ma Su's attributes the same as Ma Dai's? Wutugu is here!
"Sister Zhurong, how did you tame a leopard like this?"
Looking at the fat leopard outside, its belly churning and barely able to move, Su Yu asked curiously.
Zhu Rong had just finished a delicious meal and was a little tired, but she still answered immediately:
“Brother Ziyi, its name is Xiaohua. I found it in the woods a few years ago.”
"I fed it, and then it followed me."
"As for what Brother Ziyi said, he should be referring to the art of animal taming."
"That's the skill that the Mulu tribe excels at."
Su Yu nodded, his doubts dispelled.
It seems that not every southern barbarian knows animal taming techniques, otherwise it would be too incredible.
As for Xiao Hua, that is, the fat leopard, it was purely an accident.
If the animal taming techniques of the Zhurong tribe were to train animals to look like Xiaohua, let alone go to war, it would be a miracle if they didn't eat their families out of house and home!
"Sister Zhurong, how about we have something delicious to eat tonight?"
"Good~"
Little Zhurong said obediently.
……
South Central Region
After Mengyi led the various tribes back to this place, he increased the number of sentries in the mountains and forests.
Once Cao Cao's army attacks, Meng Yi and his barbarian soldiers will seem to have divine insight, easily outmaneuvering Cao Cao's army.
Meng was very satisfied with this arrangement.
But the loyal lackey Ma Su offered the following advice:
"Your Majesty, Cao Cao's army has always been cunning."
"They couldn't possibly be unaware that the southern region was teeming with miasma and poisonous insects."
"My subordinates are worried that they have ulterior motives."
"Furthermore, if Cao Cao's army does not penetrate deep into the south, but instead sends troops to the border to surround Your Majesty, it will not be conducive to Your Majesty's external expansion in the long run."
Ma Su's words were practically pointing at Meng Yi's nose, saying, "No matter how well you fortify this place, what will you do if Cao Cao's army doesn't take your bait?"
Meng Yi nodded; he was not like the other barbarians who refused to listen to advice.
The advantage of being of mixed Han and Man descent is that Meng Yi possesses the ferocious genes of the Southern Barbarians while also having the mindset of a Han Chinese to think about problems.
"Ma Su, do you have any brilliant plan?"
Meng Yi glanced at Ma Su, knowing that the kid had a lot of tricks up his sleeve.
Ma Su smiled slightly:
"Your Majesty, why not bring in new outside help?"
"I have heard that there is a place called Wuquan Kingdom, more than 300 miles to the southwest."
"The leader there is called Wutugu. He is over three meters tall (most likely an exaggeration). He rides an elephant and has not only a powerful elephant corps under his command, but also a mysterious army wearing rattan armor."
Meng Yi frowned and said:
"The relationship between this Wutugu you mentioned and me is hardly harmonious."
"Although this fellow is powerful, he has always been complacent and only cares about his own little corner of Wuquan Kingdom."
"It would be extremely difficult to ask him to send troops."
Ma Su said with a smile:
"Hasn't Cao Jun already personally delivered the excuse to Your Majesty?"
“A person like Wutugu has no great ambitions, but he cares a lot about his own interests.”
"If Your Majesty sends someone to Wuquan Kingdom to spread rumors, claiming that Cao Cao's army invaded the Nanzhong region for ivory, rattan armor, and other such items, how could Wutugu remain indifferent?"
"At that time, Your Majesty will only need to send one envoy to form an alliance with Wutugu and have him send troops to the border to assist Your Majesty in resisting Cao's army!"
"When Wutugu's army and Cao's army are both exhausted, Your Majesty will seize the opportunity to severely damage Cao's army and annex Wutugu."
"In this way, the Kingdom of Wuquan will become the king's possession."
"Jianning is the same!"
It must be said that Ma Su had a great talent for persuading people.
He forcefully devised a new strategy for Meng Yi: to use one tiger to devour another.
Whether it is feasible remains to be discussed.
But it sounds so real!
"Ma Su, you are very good."
"Since that's the case, I cannot treat you unfairly."
"reward!"
The words fell,
Two large, over 200-pound women, each about 1.5 meters tall and resembling the demon Bo Gang, appeared from behind Meng Yi and started to lead Ma Su away.
Ma Su was greatly alarmed.
The same scenario played out last time, causing him to never be able to stand up again.
In order to fully recover, he shouted:
"Your Majesty! I have now come to a clearer understanding of my own needs!"
"For others, beauty is a source of motivation."
"For me, beauty is poison!"
Meng Yi smiled and waved his hand, saying:
"You are just too modest and too reserved."
"If you like something, don't refuse it; bravely pursue what you want!"
Ma Su was so anxious that he was covered in sweat.
He really wanted to yell at Meng Yi, "Can you please stop projecting your own aesthetic sense onto everyone else?"
Is it possible for a normal person to handle a woman who is 1.5 meters tall and weighs over 200 pounds?
Seeing the large, fat woman getting closer and closer, Ma Su, in a moment of inspiration, shouted:
"Your Majesty! Actually, I am not interested in women!"
"I...I prefer men..."
Meng Yi finally stopped the two Bo Gang from going forward.
"Ma Su, do you really mean what you're saying?"
Seeing the inexplicable glint in Meng Yi's eyes, Ma Su realized his mistake too late!
If I had known this would happen, why would I have come to this southern region?
Fortunately, Meng Yi let Ma Su go.
It's possible that forced relationships are never sweet, or it could be for other reasons.
Meng Yi asked his son Meng Huo to take Ma Su back to his residence in his place.
Ma Su gradually felt relieved.
But the moment he entered his residence, he was suddenly struck on the back of the head with a blunt object!
Ma Su, his vision blurred, fell into a coma.
When I woke up again, two and a half hours had passed.
Sensing the tense atmosphere, Ma Su silently shed tears.
In the end, he embarked on a path of no return!
……
a few days later
Wuquan Kingdom
Standing a little over two meters tall, with a ring of various gemstones around his neck, Wu Tugu was reprimanding several of his trusted subordinates in the local dialect of Wuquan Kingdom.
The gist of the question is, how could such a rumor suddenly appear among the public?
Did you verify its authenticity?
Unfortunately, Wutugu's confidants were all incompetent, and their war instincts were even inferior to Wutugu's own.
Faced with Wutugu's questions, he could only admit that he knew nothing.
Even the origin of the rumor that Cao Cao's army invaded Nanzhong for ivory and rattan armor could not be found.
"Bastard!"
Wutugu was furious and kicked one of his confidants away.
In some ways, Wutugu was also a legendary figure.
Wuquan Kingdom is not large, located in the southwestern part of the South Central Region.
However, under Wutugu's rule, Wuquan became an independent small country, where the people lived in peace and prosperity, and their standard of living was considered quite wealthy in the southern region.
but.
Many of Wuquan Kingdom's assets cannot be converted into cash at present.
For example, the jewels around Wutugu's neck would fetch an astronomical price in later generations.
However, nowadays, the people of Wuquan Kingdom, including Wutugu himself, only regard these gems as "pretty things" and do not know their true value.
Other than that.
Wuquan Kingdom also possesses many priceless items such as elephants, rattan armor, medicinal herbs, and rare furs.
It is said that the elephant used by Cao Chong to weigh the elephant in history was purchased from Wuquan Kingdom by merchants from the Central Plains at a high price and transported back to the Central Plains step by step.
However, whether it is genuine or not is unknown, and some say it was bought from overseas.
In short, Wuquan Kingdom is now a treasure trove.
Wutugu himself was like a chieftain who possessed a great deal of wealth without realizing it!
