"It's so fucking painful!"

After Meng Jiang and his son left, Xing Daorong said to himself alone:

"Pang Tong shouldn't read it wrong, right? He is the 'Feng Chu' who is as famous as Zhuge Liang! When we fight again, the Southern Barbarians should surrender!"

Shake your head, call out the system and take a look.

The skill level is only 6 o'clock, and it takes more than two months to restore to the full value of 68.

However, Meng Jiang made an appointment with him for a winter battle. After so long, all his skills were restored.

Of course, if it is urgently needed, he is not helpless. Don’t forget that the system rewarded five Ganoderma lucidum last time!

As long as you take a piece of Ganoderma lucidum, you can immediately replenish your skills and deal with whatever situation is.

In this battle, the barbarians were defeated again and withdrew from Jiaozhi.

As a result, the Southern Barbarians were completely expelled from Jiaozhou.

In the south of Jiaozhi, there are Jiuzhen, Sunnan, and Jiaozhi, collectively known as the three counties of Jiaozhi.

The Hanting Court once had a governor of Jiaozhi. However, later, the three counties of Jiaozhi and Yulin and Hepu were merged into Jiaozhou, and there was no governor. The governor of Jiaozhi was replaced by the prefect of Jiaozhi.

The three counties of Jiaozhi are quite large in size, but the population is not large, and they are only more than 500,000 in total, many of which are Luo Yue natives.

The other four counties in Jiaozhou have slightly more populations than Jiaozhi, which together are about 150,600,000, and Jiaozhi, which looks like almost 2 million.

Including the four counties in Jingnan and Luling County, Xing Daorong now has more than three million, nearly four million.

This number is already quite large, slightly more than Yizhou's population, and it is not much different even compared to the five million people in Jiangdong.

The land is vast and sparsely populated, with mountains and steep mountains and primeval forests everywhere. Even if the world changes, the food is sufficient and newborns have increased dramatically, it will take many years to prosper.

More than a month later, Yuan Hui and Xu Jing rushed to Jiaozhi to take over civil affairs and organize the government and civil order.

In this way, time slowly passes.

In autumn, Xing Daorong received letters from Changsha Pang Tong and Jiang Wan.

In the letter, the two reported that they were already organizing the affairs of the folk martial arts hall.

Pang Tong praised Xing Daorong's ideas quite well.

Because, most people today can eat enough, and once people can eat enough, there will be more things!

In fact, in the past two years, the number of armed fighting among the people in Jingnan has increased significantly, and the trend of favoring martial arts has grown, which has caused great headaches for officials in various counties.

Therefore, Xing Daorong's proposal to establish a folk martial arts hall to let the people practice martial arts is not only possible, but also a lot of help in terms of public security.

Because when the people's energy is focused on formal martial arts practice, many quarrels and voluntary disputes will be controlled within a smaller range.

In addition, the trend of reclaiming wasteland in Jingnan gradually stopped.

Because every household has reclaimed many acres of land, but the people who cultivate cannot keep up with it, so fewer people continue to reclaim land.

In the letter, Jiang Wan was quite happy to tell Xing Daorong that compared with before the land reclamation, there were more than 2 million acres of land under Jingnan’s rule!

According to the tax rate of one in the ten-thousand-odd tax during the Han Dynasty, the yield of so many acres was so high that the four counties in Jingnan alone were enough to support a million troops!

However, in wars, there are no more soldiers but more elites. With the current situation in Jingnan, there is no need to support so many troops.

In addition, in the letter, the two told Xing Daorong that Jiangdong had been quite at peace during this period.

Perhaps the 160,000 troops stationed in Jingnan played a role, and Sun Quan and Zhou Yu showed no sign of sending troops.

Seeing this, Xing Daorong breathed a sigh of relief.

He was worried that Jiang Dong would attack Jingnan when he was away. Since we were at peace, it would be better.

In this way, Xing Daorong stayed in Jiaozhi with peace of mind, trained the army all day long, prepared weapons, and occasionally went out to the suburbs to hunt, and enjoyed it.

Of course, the spy did not stop and kept asking about military information, especially the trends in the north, south and central areas.

As winter just entered, Xing Daorong received news that many beasts such as tigers, black bears, leopards and other beasts appeared at the junction of Jiaozhi and Nanzhong.

In the days that followed, such reports were received almost every day, and more and more beasts were at the junction of Jiaozhi and South Central.

Such news quickly reminded Xing Daorong, who was familiar with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", to a person.

Mulu King!

It is said that the master of the Mulu King, Bana Cave in Nanzhong, is well-versed in spells, and he rides an elephant when he comes out, and can summon wind and rain. There are often tigers, leopards, jackals, and vicious snakes and evil scorpions following him.

In Xing Daorong's opinion, this is a strange man who knows the art of taming beasts.

In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", at the invitation of Meng Huo, the Mulu King led eight cave barbarians to drive tigers and leopards, and carried poisonous snakes and scorpions, causing a lot of trouble to the Shu army.

Of course, Zhuge Liang later fought with the Wood and Fire Beasts, dispersed the beasts, and finally defeated the Wood Deer King.

This plot is quite magical.

"Meng Jiang and his son insisted that they had a trick yet, so they didn't say this, right?"

With his hands touching his thick beard, Xing Daorong thought to himself.

"It should be!"

Nodded, Xing Daorong said intimately:

"A beast can scare war horses. Even generals in the army cannot ride horses, so they cannot exert the power of the rushing formation!"

"Horse is very important to generals. If you cannot ride a horse, just infantry battles, the combat power of any powerful general will be greatly reduced. Of course, Dian Wei is an exception!"

"In addition, humans are born with fear of beasts. When facing human-eating beasts, it is difficult for ordinary soldiers not to be afraid, and it is difficult to compete with them!"

"hehe!"

Xing Daorong laughed.

No matter how powerful a beast is, its weaknesses are obvious, such as fear of fire, lightning, and all abnormal natural climates!

Therefore, Xing Daorong was not worried about the army of beasts in the Southern Barbarians.

He doesn't understand Zhuge Liang's wood and fire beast, but he knows the principle. Isn't it just to spit fire to scare the beast?

Making a large number of rockets in advance, and 70,000 soldiers carry bows and arrows. At that time, they will shoot out all the fires, which will scare the wild beasts to the point of being so scared that they will urinate?

In addition, there are many generals in the army with military skills, which can also disperse wild beasts.

Liu Pan's "Rolling Dragon", Chen Wu's "Sword and Swords", Yuan Hui's "Flying Arrow", Xu Jing's "Diquan Chong", Pan Zhang's "Stone", and Fu Ying's "Serial Crossbow".

These generals used their skills one by one, not to mention the actual lethality, but just the sound and light effect is enough to panic the ignorant beast!

Unless that "Mulu King" is not an ordinary animal trainer, but a cultivating animal trainer!

But this is impossible. There is no immortal cultivator in this world, even if there are, it is not the turn of such a man from the Southern Barbarians.

If it were official history or legend, if you were prepared, these beasts would not have any effect, let alone now.

Thinking of this, Xing Daorong immediately summoned the generals in the army at the prefect's office and ordered them to prepare a bow for all the soldiers, and lead the soldiers to cut down trees and make rockets.

Of course, it is impossible for all the soldiers in Jingnan to be archers, but they are all elite soldiers, all of whom are strong, so it is not easy to shoot archers in cats and tigers?

They don’t need to shoot arrows accurately. Just light up the fire on the arrow and shoot it out at the location of the beast. It’s okay for everyone!

It takes less than a few days to stop.

On this day, the barbarian envoy sent by Meng Jiang finally came to inform Xing Daorong, gave the time and place, and made an appointment to fight to the decisive battle.

Xing Daorong accepted the challenge with a smile.

The decisive battle location chosen by Mengjiang belongs to the edge of the primeval forest, with many mountains and forests, which is not conducive to the army's advancement.

But Xing Daorong did not argue with him and agreed casually.

In the winter month, 70,000 Jingnan Army set out again.

Half a month later, in the northern part of Jiaozhi and the junction with the southern and central areas, the Jingnan army and the barbarians fought for the third time.

This time, the Jingnan Army was no longer facing barbarian soldiers holding various weapons, but rather overwhelming beasts in the mountains and forests.

Tigers, black bears, pythons, spotted leopards, wild wolfs, poisonous snakes, centipedes, scorpions, etc. are all ferocious beasts and poisonous insects that eat humans, and they all envy them.

It is difficult to calculate how many of them are, but at a glance, there are at least one million.

With so many ferocious beasts and poisonous insects, I don’t know how the Mulu King did it!

In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the number of ferocious beasts and poisonous insects dispatched by the Mulu King did not reach this level!

However, at that time, the Mulu King used local materials, and it was estimated that the ferocious beasts and poisonous insects they recruited were limited.

This time, after more than half a year, it is estimated that all the ferocious beasts and poisonous insects in the entire Nanzhong were brought out.

Hiding behind millions of ferocious beasts and poisonous insects, Meng Jiang and his son stared at the direction of Jingnan Army, waiting for the arrival of victory.

Having been captured alive in front of the formation twice, the two of them no longer dared to confront Xing Daorong and Mingjiu, and put their hope of winning completely on King Mulu.

"Don't worry, lord!"

Riding on a huge colossus, with bare hair on his head and a big golden nose ring at the end of his nose, the Mulu King said confidently:

"This time, I brought all the ferocious beasts and poisonous insects thousands of miles along the way, and I will definitely give Xing Daorong a good look!"

"good!"
