"What do you think of the Man King?" Liu Yi smiled and looked at Meng Huo with a constipation on his face, and said with his fingers: "This is the fourth time. Don't you think the food here is good, come and have a free meal, right?"

"If you want to kill, kill me, why insult me!" Meng Huo burst out and roared at Liu Yi. The voice was shrill and despair, alarmed the soldiers outside the camp. A personal guard rushed into the hall quickly and looked at Meng Huo with a look of alert.

"I can kill you the first time, why wait until now!" Liu Yi shook his head and looked at Meng Huo and said, "Didn't you say it before? If I can capture you alive within three days, you will surrender sincerely. It seems that the Barbarian King is ready to break his promise this time?"

"How can I convince you just conspiracy like this?" Meng Huo stared at Liu Yi and said dissatisfiedly. After fighting so many battles, none of them understood. Although he knew that he was probably not Liu Yi's opponent, he couldn't vent his anger in his heart.

"I captured you four times and let you go three times!" Liu Yi stood up, walked to Meng Huo, pulled out a short knife from Guan Xing's waist, helped Meng Huo break the rope on his body, and looked at Meng Huo and said, "It's also considered letting you go three times. Now it's the fourth time. I will give you another chance to show you all the tricks you can think of. Although I like to be kind to others, my patience is limited after all."

"You want to let me go?" Meng Huo looked at Liu Yi with some disbelief.

"The door is there, yes or not, you can try it yourself." Liu Yi did not answer him, but just played with the short knife in his hand and said, "Now, my patience has been almost exhausted. I will be captured alive next time. If I am not convinced, believe me, I have the ability to establish a more obedient barbarian king. As a loser, your fate will be very miserable. At that time, you will not be the only one who dies. I will not be able to grasp the five chances. What has been accumulated before will be returned together."

A look of fear flashed in Meng Huo's eyes. Since Liu Yi said he would let him go four times, if he really wanted to settle the score with him, Meng Huo did not doubt whether Liu Yi would really do this. He immediately said: "If I capture you alive next time, I will spare your life!"

"Also..." Liu Yi looked at Meng Huo and said, "Your wife brings the cave master, and there are Dong Tuna and Ah Huilan. You can only take two of them away. How do you choose?"

"My wife still brings it." Meng Huo was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice as he looked at Liu Yi.

"Okay!" Liu Yi smiled and said, "Bring it up."

Immediately someone brought Mrs. Zhurong and the cave owner in, and Liu Yi asked someone to loosen their ties.

"Do you know I want to choose them?" Meng Huo looked at Liu Yi with horror.

"All the way, you can also release Mrs. Zhurong and the troops who brought the cave master." Liu Yi waved his hand and said.

"Thank you!" Meng Huo suppressed the horror in his heart, bowed to Liu Yi, and left with Mrs. Zhu Rong and the owner of the cave.

"Bring it up." Liu Yi looked at the direction Meng Huo left and looked at the tent outsider.

Dong Tuna and Ah Huinan were brought into the hall by two soldiers. In fact, the four of them were here before. No matter how Meng Huo chose, Liu Yi could bring the person out as soon as possible. He just divided the four people into two groups. According to common sense, Meng Huo was so smart that he would pick one of each of these two groups.

"See Mo Hou!" The two of them entered the hall and bowed respectfully to Liu Yi, with a feeling of resentment in their eyes, but it was not aimed at Liu Yi.

"It seems that your king has abandoned you." Liu Yi smiled and said, "What should you do next? Should you have a guess in your heart?"

"We are willing to sincerely surrender to the Mo Hou, but if we send you, we will be killed!" Dong Tuna and Ah Huimang looked at each other and bowed.

Since Meng Huo chose Mrs. Zhurong and the Lord of the Cave, and abandoned them without hesitation, then there was nothing to say about them betray Meng Huo.

No matter how you choose, Meng Huo is at a disadvantage. However, Meng Huo made such a straightforward choice, which is equivalent to simply giving up his original tribes. In the previous battle, Liu Yi had already noticed that Meng Huo had weak command and control over the three major cave masters under his command. With these two people, he could help him convince many barbarians to escape from Meng Huo, the barbarian king.

Of course, if Meng Huo chose him, it would be difficult for Mrs. Zhurong to deal with it. It can be seen that the woman was devoted to Meng Huo and it was not easy to get apart. Fortunately, even if Meng Huo had many shortcomings, she was still in love and righteous at the critical moment, which allowed Liu Yi to easily gain the loyalty of the marshal of these two caves.

This war is like doing a business. Only when you make a profit can you win. Otherwise, if you lose, you will win the battle, and it will only be spending money to gain publicity.

After being arranged in Nanzhong for so long, it is time to start closing the network.

"The silver pit has been buried, but the people of all ethnic groups have not yet returned. I want to ask you and the two of you to help me convince all ethnic groups." Liu Yi helped them up and said with a smile.

"We will obey the order!" Dong Tuna and Ah Hui murmured and said in a stern manner.

The Yinkeng Cave is the area of ​​Kunchi. It is separated from Zhurong Cave and is rich in silver mines. Liu Yi has been coveting this place for a long time, and now he has finally taken it down. Liu Yi's influence and control in this southern border area are already strong enough. This is also the reason why he has no patience to continue playing with Meng Huo. It is not that he is strong, and the strength of the Han army has never been weak, but that he has enough mass base in this southern barbarian land. He is not blinded by his eyes. Meng Huo, the barbarian king, suffered several defeats, and his power, including his old nest, has also been gradually disintegrated by Liu Yi. The name of the Barbarian King is no longer worthy of his name. For Liu Yi now, there is no need to continue this game of cat-catching mice.

At this moment, Liu Yi ordered the army to leave the city and go to Yinkeng Cave. Liu Yi was preparing to build a city on the bank of Kunchi, which was planned before.

In the entire southern central area, there are not many places that can build cities. Even if there are, they can only build small cities. If the city covers too much land, it will reduce the space for people to farm.

...

On the other hand, Meng Huo took Mrs. Zhurong, the master of the cave, and the three thousand remaining troops to leave Liu Yi's city. However, after leaving, Meng Huo was a little confused. The silver pit was no longer the foundation. Zhurong and the tribesmen who brought the two also basically turned against each other in these wars. At present, Meng Huo suddenly felt desperate.

Why should he fight with Liu Yi again? Is it just for the three thousand men in his hands?

"Husband, why don't you leave?" Mrs. Zhu Rong noticed Meng Huo's strangeness, rode her horse over and said in confusion.

"Go? Where to go?" Meng Huo closed his eyes. It seemed that the only place he could go to now was Yongchang County, but he had already withdrawn his troops. According to Liu Yi's plan, it is unknown whether Yongchang County is still in his hands. Moreover, the place is new for a while and has no foundation. Even if he goes, he will probably only humiliate Liu Yi once again.

Mrs. Zhurong hesitated for a moment, looked at Meng Huo and said, "Husband, I think that Mo Hou is not a bad person, why should I fight against him all the time?"

Now that things have come to this point, Mrs. Zhurong actually doesn't want to continue to fight against Liu Yi anymore.

"Why?" Meng Huo looked ahead and shook his head, "Then Liu Yi may be a good official, but he cannot be here all the time. What will happen to the new Han official after he leaves? What will happen to the former Han Dynasty officials? The wife should know what happened to him."

"But where are the soldiers and horses that we have come to fight with the Mo Hou again?" Mrs. Zhu Rong frowned.

"I have sent someone to the Ugo State for help before, have you sent it?" Meng Huo looked at the Lord of the Guidong and said.

"I have sent people, but the Ugo Kingdom is quite far away, so I'm afraid it's difficult to come for a while." The Lord of the cave nodded, then frowned.

The country of Nahugo is not close to this place.

"It's good if you can come. With the help of that guru, we may not be able to fight if we gather some cave masters!" Meng Huo said in a deep voice.

"But we should always have a place to settle down now, otherwise how should we place the three thousand warriors be placed?" Mrs. Zhu Rong frowned.

"There is always a way." Meng Huo was silent for a moment after hearing this.

The owner of the cave who brought the cave suddenly slapped his head and said, "Wang, I have a friend, maybe I can go and join me!"

"Oh?" Meng Huo was intrigued and looked at the Lord of the cave and said, "Who is it?"

"Three hundred miles west of this place, there is a dangerous place called Tulong Cave. The Tulong Cave Master is my friend. We can go to him temporarily. The terrain here is dangerous, so we can avoid the Han army's troops and call on all ethnic groups to start a joint cause. As soon as the reinforcements of the Ugo Kingdom arrived, we will join forces and fight with Liu Yi!" The cave owner said excitedly.

"This person..." Meng Huo frowned and said, "Is it reliable?"

Shamoke's betrayal has a great blow to Meng Huo. Now he always has skepticism about people other than his confidants.

"Don't worry, the Lord of Tulong Cave lives here for generations, and has few contacts with outsiders and no interaction with Han people. I also made friends by chance, so there will be no problems." The Lord of the Cave said with confidence.

"So..." Meng Huo thought about it, he had nowhere to go now. Perhaps he could find a new opportunity with the Lord of Tulong Cave. He decided to go straight to Tulong Cave.

...

Meng Huo went to Tulong Cave to seek help, but Liu Yi, after completely occupying the silver pit, Liu Yi truly felt the wealth of the silver pit. The utensils used by the residents here were made of silver. Although silver is not a circulating currency, it is also a precious metal. Generally, gifts and other gifts are very high-end. The area around this silver pit cave is not only rich in silver mines, but also has several open-pit silver mines, which is a fortune.

Liu Yi felt that if conditions permit, he could discuss with Liu Bei whether silver could be circulated as a higher level of currency in Wuzhu coins. If so, the value of this silver pit would be almost equivalent to the entire southern central area in the past.
