Chapter 179 [Beautiful flowers, couples and beautiful women]
————————————
Through Meng Xin's narration, Li Li's vague memories that were plausible in his mind gradually became clear.
Combined with the detailed inquiry information and what Meng Xin said, Li Li made a judgment that Meng Huo had not yet been recognized by the major tribes of the Southern Barbarians, so he was not a barbarian king. Perhaps only after he married Mrs. Zhu Rong of the Fire God Tribe, he could use the power of the Fire God Tribe to intimidate the major tribes and thus take the position of Barbarian King.
Therefore, the most important thing at present is that Meng Huo cannot marry the Vulcan tribe, so that he cannot command the major tribes.
If this is possible, Li Li's army could defeat the southern barbarian tribes one by one and quickly pacify the southwest.
But these are not the main points of Li Li's concern. He did not take those tribal leaders to heart. No matter whether Meng Huo was the Barbarian King or not, no matter whether King Duosi, King Wugo and other monsters were all arrogant guys in his eyes. At best, they were a group of wild bandits who occupied the mountain and became kings. They were not afraid at all and were not worth mentioning.
Nowadays, what Li Li is most concerned about is how the Western Expedition army conquered poisonous miasma and the disagreement of the local environment. As long as these two difficult problems are solved, the rest will be nothing, and it will not stop the progress of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry.
"What are you still worried about? Poisonous miasma? Or is it the complex terrain of the Southern Barbarian Tribe?"
Seeing Li Li remained silent for a while, Meng Xin did not interrupt at first, and sat quietly beside him. When she saw him frowning slightly and looked solemn, she couldn't help asking. She married and followed her husband. Since she followed Li Li, Fairy Meng Xin, who had been disrespectful to the world, fell into the mortal world, and her heart was all tied to Li Li. She was anxious about what he was anxious about and loved what he loved. She no longer had the pure heart and desires she used to be, and was far away from the world.
After hearing this, Li Li nodded slightly and said, "As the wife said, for our Xiliang army, the barbarian tribe is not worthy of fear. As long as we can get close to them, even if we fight in the mountains, we can subdue or destroy them. The two major problems facing us are still, because the masturbation and the discomfort mentioned before, if we can properly solve them, everything can be solved. I wonder if my wife has a good idea?" After saying that, Li Li showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, which was quite unspeakable.
This was the first time he asked his woman for advice, so he felt a little strange, and felt dull and could not stand it. It is not difficult to see that Li Li was a pure macho in his bones, especially after he had many beautiful wives and concubines, this male tendency became more and more serious. He always wanted to show his wise and powerful side to his wives and concubines. Asking for women like today is definitely the first time in the first time, so he felt embarrassed and looked a little unnatural.
But he didn't know. Meng Xin, Ren Hongchang and others had always wanted to contribute to him and share some troubles and pressure for him, but they were subject to etiquette constraints. They never dared to step beyond the line and dared to interrupt easily. Fortunately, after Meng Xin joined the sister group, she did not care about her status at all. Therefore, she discussed these military and political affairs with Li Li without any scruples. In this way, Ren Hongchang and others could listen from the side and occasionally put forward any ideas or suggestions. This feeling was very good and special. They were willing to participate, which could reflect their presence and importance, so that Li Li could realize that they were not "vases" that were popular.
"Don't worry, husband." Sure enough, Meng Xin did not disappoint Li Li, and gave a positive answer as soon as she spoke. However, she suddenly changed her mind and said softly: "Before answering your husband's question, I still have some questions. I wonder if you can solve your doubts?"
Li Li's expression changed slightly and he said in surprise: "Question? It's okay for his wife to speak, but for his husband, he will definitely know everything he says."
Meng Xin had obviously been waiting for Li Li's words for a long time. After hearing the sound, she said without thinking: "I wonder what kind of victory the husband wants to achieve in this expedition to suppress the Southern Barbarian tribe? Should I completely wipe it out and then occupy the territory of the Southern Barbarians? Or should I conquer his tribes and calm them down? Or should I destroy the tribe and resettle their people like the barbarian tribes that his husband had pacified before?"
"Huh?" Li Li was stunned when he heard the sound. Looking at Meng Xin's solemn expression, he said with some insight: "Since it is the wife who is inquiring about it, he will naturally not hide it. As you expected, this expedition to the Southern Barbarians is no different from the previous expeditions and suppression of barbarians. He adopted the same strategy, based on war, with the main focus on extermination and comfort as the auxiliary, and used both suppression and comfort, and finally achieved the strategic purpose of capturing the Southern Barbarian territory, conquering its subordinates, and completely incorporating them into the territory of the Han Dynasty. Could it be that the wife still has doubts about this? If you have any ideas, you can tell them and listen carefully to the husband. Hahaha!" After saying that, Li Li laughed.
However, four women familiar with him, such as Ren Hongchang and He Ying, looked tighter when they saw his smile, and their delicate face changed. They clearly knew that his last words were insincere and were purely perfunctory. Because all the girls knew that once the decision of their men would hardly change, they were really a spit and a nail, and a word was a catastrophe. If they wanted him to change his mind, it would be extremely difficult and almost impossible. The girls were familiar with this and had already experienced it countless times, so they looked at Meng Xin in one go, winking her, hoping that she would stop when she was about to get along, and not to be blinded by the smile that Li Li pretended to be.
As a couple who have been sleeping in the same bed for many years, they know their own men very well. Usually, they like to laugh, and they smile very innocently and sunnyly, but when they talk about serious things, they are often serious. Sudden laughter like now is a kind of concealment, and most of them are perfunctory, and it may even be a sign of furiousness.
Seeing the sisters' anxious expressions, Meng Xin smiled slightly, saying that she knew the right position and made them feel at ease. Then she said softly, "My husband must have guessed that I really want to plead for the tribes of the Nanzhong tribe. Perhaps my husband doesn't know much about the tribes in the Nanzhong area. About half of them are descendants of Han people, and the remaining half are closely related to the Han people. Therefore, they are completely different from the barbarians outside the Great Wall and cannot be regarded as the same. And outside the Nanzhong
The tribes are different. Most of them are natives and have nothing to do with us Han people. Therefore, my husband wants to destroy them, and I have no objection. So I beg my husband to show mercy to the people in Nanzhong. If possible, please treat them well and treat them equally with us Han people. I wonder what your husband is willing to do?” In the last sentence, Meng Xin used the title of honor to express her earnest entreaty. This was already rare for her. This was the first time she had made a request in so many years after she followed Li Li.
Li Li's expression changed slightly, and he said without hesitation: "Mrs. Is it because she is familiar with the Nanzhong tribe? Could it be that she has been with them?"
"Well, I learned witchcraft from the great wizard of the Fire God Tribe in my early years. I have known his tribe leader Zhu Rong for many years, which can be regarded as a friendship between my classmates." Meng Xin said truthfully.
Li Li nodded slightly and smiled and said, "That's right. The lady has always been indifferent to the war, but this time she is quite concerned about the expedition and suppression of the southern barbarians. There must be a reason. In fact, even if the lady doesn't speak, she will not indulge her soldiers to kill people of any race. She can rest assured that her husband is not a violent and bloodthirsty person. Therefore, she doesn't have to worry about her. I will write down all the things she wants to pay more attention and restrain the soldiers from avoiding large-scale killings as much as possible. But I want to explain in advance that in any war, it is inevitable that killing will be inevitable. Therefore, I will remind them to try their best to restrain themselves, but not to stop them. After all, war is cruel. I must first consider the safety of the soldiers under my command and be responsible for them. As for the casualties of the enemy, I can't help. I hope my wife can understand this."
Meng Xin nodded in response: "What my husband said is so much, thank you."
Li Li smiled and shook his head, "Madam, no need to do this, why do you and my husband have to thank you? I wonder what good advice does your wife have for this Western Expedition to the Southern Barbarians?" This is the focus of Li Li's attention, and it is also a major event that he has been thinking about in recent times. It is precisely because he has been unable to make up his mind that the army has been resting for nearly a month and has been holding its troops unchanged. The matter of the Western Expedition to the Southern Barbarians is also unresolved.
Meng Xin smiled sweetly and said softly: "Your husband doesn't need to worry too much. I'm prepared for this. In my early years, I stayed in the Fire God Tribe for five years. During this time, I traveled to various tribes and almost traveled to the entire Southern Barbarian Territory. I drew it into a map, indicating the location, terrain and population of the major tribes on the back. This time, my husband conquered Yizhou, and I took the map with me. I knew that my husband would definitely be able to use it, so I handed it over to my husband later. In addition, my disciples who had been to the Southern Barbarian Territory, and they knew how to control the miasma. This time I handed it over to my husband, so that they could lead the way for the army, which would definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort. Also??"
"Okay, okay, very good! Hahaha!" Before Meng Xin could finish her words, Li Li laughed happily. The hearty laughter resounded throughout the back garden, sweeping away the previous depressing atmosphere, causing Ren Hongchang and other five women to be infected by it, and they all showed knowing smiles.
While laughing, Li Li held Meng Xin in her arms again and couldn't help but kiss her on her forehead. Then when the wolf kissed Meng Xin's red lips, she reached out to block her hand and said coquettishly: "Sisters are watching, husband, don't worry, Rong will finish his words."
"Okay, okay, you say, listen to your father." When the kiss was blocked, Li Li was not discouraged. He still hugged Meng Xin, and agreed with a smile, while making trouble and taking advantage of the situation.
Meng Xin endured Li Li's harassment and said calmly: "Also, I took the daughter of the chief of the Fire God Zhurong tribe as a disciple three years ago, which is Zhurong, whom Meng Huo wanted to marry. This woman is a rare martial arts qualification in the world. After following me for three years of practicing martial arts, she has entered the house. She is carrying the best martial arts skills and is a hero among women. What's even more rare is that this woman is born with beautiful beauty and looks beautiful, which makes countless men salivate and covet for a long time. If your husband intends to take her to his name, I am willing to join her, but I don't know what your husband wants?"
"This, hehehe!" In shock, Li Lihan smiled and said, "It's better not to mention this matter. It's enough to have you by your side in this life! It's rare to be happy tonight. We will hold a banquet in the pavilion and stop when we get drunk?"
