Chapter 867: A small barbarian country (second update)

However, even so, Zhang Song still had a little doubt in his heart.

After the matter was handled, Zhang Song raised his fist to Kou Feng and said, "Your Majesty, the rest of the ministers have no doubts, but the migratory 500,000 people are really worried."

As he said that, Zhang Song sighed, "It's hard to leave his hometown. The number of 500,000 is so huge."

Zhang Song had been in Chu for a short time. Although he knew that Kou Feng was in Jingchu, he still felt worried.

"Haha, Ziqiao doesn't have to worry. Gu had only occupied a few counties and could cross the Yangtze River and bring hundreds of thousands of people to Taiwan. Now he has Wu and Chu. There is no need to worry even more." Kou Feng smiled and said with great confidence when he heard this.

Let’s not talk about the events back then. The people of that time were forcibly plundered by Kou Feng, and the people really couldn’t resist. But now, Kou Feng’s prestige between Jingchu is overwhelming.

Especially Changsha, Jiangxia and Jiujiang areas are at its peak.

If Kou Feng said he needed to recruit 500,000 people and join the army to fight, he would definitely follow him. But now Kou Feng did not want to fight, but wanted to draw 500,000 people to enter Yanzhou and expand his population.

Although Sanhan is a little colder, it is also a piece of black soil. Five hundred thousand people are entering, which is a great opportunity. If you can work diligently, you may not be able to become a new local tycoon.

As long as Kou Feng published the list, it directly showed that there were countless land there. Some poorer people would actively participate. The reason why people in ancient times did not want to immigrate.

First, it is difficult to get away from homeland, and second, it is also because it has no confidence in the rulers. Everyone knows that the frontier is bitter and cold. But this difficulty is useless for Kou Feng.

Because of Kou Feng's prestige and because of Kou Feng's tall image in the hearts of the people of Chu, he said that Yanzhou has abundant land and great opportunities.

The people will believe it.

If the essay is more sincere, even if the hometown is difficult to leave, the people will contribute to the strength of Chu State and thus choose to immigrate.

In other places, such as Cao Cao, Ma Teng and Han Sui, it would be very difficult to immigrate 500,000 with moderate means.

But for Chu, it was easy.

Kou Feng's words and Kou Feng's expression were full of fanatical confidence in the Chu State he created. This confidence and even a little conceited.

Kou Feng's confidence infected Zhang Song.

Zhang Song couldn't help but remember that Kou Fengna's impossible could not be possible. He used the small Taiwan as an overseas base, immigrating hundreds of thousands of troops and stationed 20,000 troops.

This surprise not only maintained the security of the Chu State and Gongsun Kang's maritime trade. Later, when Wu and Chu competed for hegemony, this surprise also played an unimaginable role.

It was precisely because of Fangdao's surprise attack on Wujun that the total collapse in Jiangdong was led to.

At that time, with such a weak national strength of Chu, Kou Feng could successfully immigrate hundreds of thousands of people, but now with such a powerful Chu, he has immigrated 500,000.

Thinking of this, Zhang Song felt that he was really worried.

Yanzhou.

A very important strategic chess piece for the State of Chu, a nail was placed near Youzhou. Kou Feng was so determined now.

This nail will definitely play an extremely important role in the future.

In a few breaths, Zhang Song no longer had doubts in his heart. Only full of determination was left, following Chu Jun Kou Feng's footsteps, that's right.

While Kou Feng and Zhang Song were discussing the matter in Yanzhou, Meng Huo's envoy also arrived outside Chengdu City. Zheng Du, the prefect of Shu County, was responsible for receiving the meeting.

This envoy was Meng Huo's envoy, not the envoy of Yong Kai, a powerful man in the southern center. Therefore, they were all composed of Southern Barbarians. These Southern Barbarians were all dressed in strange clothes and exuded a strong foreign aura.

Chengdu City is the center of Shu. Most of the gatherings are Han people. Now a group of envoys from the Southern Barbarians suddenly appeared, which really made passers-by stop.

However, most of the people who stopped did not look at each other with curious eyes, but hated and disgusted. The Southern Barbarians and the people in Shu were enemies of generations.

In particular, Meng Huo colluded with the Han people's great surname Yong Kai and others in Nanzhong, which made the situation in Nanzhong even more unstable. From time to time, news of the Southern Barbarians plundering the border towns came to the north.

How can the people in Shu not hate them?

Among the envoys, the leader was a middle-aged man with a similar appearance to Meng Huo. He was Meng Huo's younger brother, Meng You.

"I'm Meng You below. I wonder who is under Mr. Chu?" Near the city gate, Meng You and Zheng Du faced each other. Meng You saluted to Zheng Du.

Very polite.

"Zheng Duke Chu was under the tent of Shu County, Zheng Du." Zheng Du also said with great grace.

However, his eyes were looking at Meng You slightly. The last time Zheng Du went to Nanzhong to visit Nanzhong, he had seen Yong Kai, the leader of the great surname of Nanzhong, but he had never seen Meng Huo, the leader of the southern barbarians.

Zheng Du felt a little regretful. Seeing Meng You now makes up for this regret.

However, Zheng Du quickly became alert in his heart. Because Meng You not only spoke politely, but also looked very polite.

It seems very well-educated.

A Southern Barbarian is polite. This is a very strange thing. If you use one sentence to describe Zheng Du’s mood at this moment, it is a hooligan who suddenly becomes educated.

That kind of terrible.

The Southern Barbarians have always been barbarians, and Meng You's expression and behavior prove that the Southern Barbarians are absorbing the civilization of the Han people and developing their own civilization.

How can this not make Zheng Du feel alert?

"It turns out to be Mr. Zheng. Mr. Zheng is famous for his name in Shuzhong. Even the reputation of the gentleman in Nanzhong is still very well-known. I am really lucky to see him today." Meng You certainly didn't know what Zheng Du was thinking at this moment. He smiled and said politely.

"He is polite, hero." Zheng Du saw Meng You so polite and could compliment him, even if he was alert in his heart, he would be very polite on his face.

Immediately, the two exchanged greetings outside the city gate.

Meng You spoke and tentatively said: "Brother heard that Chu was pacified in Shuzhong and was sent to congratulate him. I wonder if you are sir?"

Finally, the fox's tail was revealed.

Zheng Du felt a little contemptuous in his heart. The so-called barbarians are barbarians, and vulgarity is vulgarity. Maybe they can be more polite, but in essence they are still straightforward.

An envoy of a small country seeks to meet the king of a great country. It is very skillful, at least you cannot say it directly. According to the general procedure, the king of a great country will be summoned as soon as possible.

It is very rare to ask questions like Meng You directly.

Just asking Meng You's question, most people will feel annoyed. I, the king of Chu, can you see me just by saying that you can see me? I have to leave you for a few days.

According to Zheng Du's thoughts, it should be hung for a few days.

However, Zheng Du knew that Kou Feng was the kind of person who was not concerned about face and only cared about efficiency. Now that Meng Huo’s envoy has arrived, Kou Feng cannot be seen.

Therefore, although Zheng Du was a little annoyed and a little contemptuous, he still smiled and said, "Donald Chu is in Beppu at this moment, and the envoy follows me."

As he said that, Zheng Du stretched out his right hand slightly. Then, he walked forward a few steps and got on the carriage. He did not invite Meng You to sit together.

Meng You was also careless and didn't know what was wrong. When he saw Zheng Du getting on the carriage, he also called his followers and rode on the war horse. He followed Zheng Du into the city.

Chengdu. This is the largest and most prosperous city in Shu. The rich and prosperous grand occasion almost made Meng You unable to move his eyes.

It's really a good city. If our clan could occupy such a city, why should we be afraid of the enemy? Being controlled by Yong Kai?

The Southern Barbarians have cities. However, compared with Chengdu in front of them, it is like the difference between a city and a countryside.

Seeing such a prosperous city with your own eyes, Meng You's heart was filled with greed. The so-called "If you are not my race, your heart will be different" is here.

Although Meng Huo and Yong Kai were brothers and even vaguely led by Yong Kai, it was because Yong Kai was powerful in Nanzhong, and the various resources, prestige, etc. he controlled.

Better than Meng Huo, who had only 80,000 barbarians, had to bow his head, but the Meng Huo brothers never thought of surrendering to Yong Kai for the rest of their lives.

They wanted to develop their tribesmen, rule the Southern Central, and summarize all the Han people under their empire.

This was Meng You's ambition in his previous heart. But at this moment, confused by the prosperity of Chengdu, Meng You's ambition suddenly rose in his heart, thinking that if he could annex such a city, it would be truly glorious.

On the carriage, Zheng Du looked back. Seeing Meng You's eyes with strange light, it seemed that his whole mind was attracted by the prosperity in front of him.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. If this wolf is not eliminated, how can the Sichuan city be stable?

Even in the huge city, there was a day of walking. Soon, the group walked several miles and arrived outside the gate of Chu Gongbefu, located in the center of Chengdu.

The gate was red and opened to the outside. In front of the door were twenty iron-armored soldiers with distinct armor, all of whom were crossing the Chu sword. Five of them were carrying bows and arrows and quiver pots.

They were like hunters in the jungle, their eyes full of vigilance and alertness. Their bodies were even more scent of hunters. They were a little bloody and a little cruel.

Meng You has never been in and out of the mansion of the great clan, and there are many guards outside the mansion. Just like Yong Kai’s home, there are enough guards outside the door.

But I have never enjoyed such treatment. The guards outside the mansions of other nobles are all decorations. Bracelets are strong, but not very powerful.

However, the soldiers of this team made Meng You stand up all his hair.

The soldiers of this squad are said to be the guards who serve as guards on the front lines, but rather to be the most elite and close combat power around the commander as the commander.

Cross the knife and bow on the back. It is also a battle formation.

If someone attacks, fifteen people will fight and five people will shoot.

Meng You's impression of Kou Feng was limited to Kou Feng being a prince among the Han people, but his power was much greater than Liu Zhang. Because Liu Zhang was weak, Meng You didn't really look down on Kou Feng in his bones.

But today, when I met such a strong guard outside Kou Feng's Beppu, Meng You suddenly felt a little awe of Kou Feng.

Even Meng You hesitated to step into this threshold.

The guards outside the door were so powerful and murderous. Could it be the Hongmen Banquet?
