Three Kingdoms open plug-ins everywhere

The twelve counties in Sichuan and Shu have a large population and rich food and wages.

Although he has no extra troops to attack now, he can send an army to fight Cao Cao as Jia Xu said.With the fighting power of the new army, it should be easy to capture the enemy.

In this way, the soldiers of the twelve counties in Sichuan and Shu became the Chinese Empire.

Cao Cao and the barbarian king Meng Huo became brothers with different surnames, and they celebrated in the capital for several days.

after that.

Meng Huo wanted to return to Nanzhong.

Cao Cao suddenly regretted it, and felt malicious in his heart!

He didn't trust Meng Huo very much, so he wanted to send someone from the Cao family to garrison and manage Nanzhong.

Sima Yi advised: "My lord, you must not do this. If you kill Meng Huo, you will end your hatred with Nanzhong. Now Meng Huo has surrendered to your lord, and promised to send troops to help the war when necessary. This has exceeded my expectations."

"Those who are not of my race must have a different heart. These barbarians seem to be open-minded, but in fact they are capricious. They may rebel for a little food and armaments. Instead of waiting until then, it is better to use all three armies, take advantage of the barbarians' needs, and completely Exterminate." Cao Cao said.

"My lord, Nanzhong is not easy to get."

Sima Yi took out a map and pointed it out to Cao Cao: "There are hundreds of miles in the south, mostly mountains and steep mountains. The barbarians and soldiers all live in caves."

"The terrain there is very easy to hide and ambush soldiers. Once they go deep, no matter how many troops there are, they are in danger of being wiped out. Moreover, the miasma in the mountains is very serious. We can't stay in the mountains for a long time, otherwise, we will be poisoned." Danger."

"Think about it, my lord, can we put down Nanzhong by force under such circumstances?"

"The only way is to let Nanzhong take the initiative to surrender. My lord has already done this, why should I go back on my word?"

Cao Cao pondered for a while.

He felt that Sima Yi's analysis was right.

The southern barbarians are indeed difficult to conquer.

And

Once the station is opened, I don't know when it will end. In case the Huaxia Kingdom invades, the event will be over.

"Ok."

Cao Cao said: "Let's leave this matter alone. You can send the Man King off for me."

"It's best for my lord to deliver it in person to show sincerity." Sima Yi said.

"Is he leaving now?"

"not yet."

Together with Sima Yi, Cao Cao went to see the Man King off.

It has been sent to Hanjia City a hundred miles away.

The barbarian king burst into tears of gratitude.

He didn't know, just a moment ago, Cao Cao wanted to kill him.

After the barbarian king left.

Cao Cao lost his mind as if he had lost something.

in fact

In his heart, he still wanted to kill Meng Huo, and with all his might, captured Nanzhong.In this way, there will be no more worries in the future.

Seeing the figure of the barbarian king getting further and further away, Cao Cao could only sigh.

Sima Yi said: "My lord, don't feel sorry. The barbarian king will keep his promise, fight the enemy together with us, and fight against the enemy together. How is this different from the lord's own troops?"

"Even if you're right."

Cao Cao took Sima Yi back to the city.

a few days later.

A spy sent a message.

It's about the Battle of the Central Plains.

Cao Cao carefully learned about the battles of Xuzhou, Hebei, and Jingzhou, and was greatly shocked.According to detailed reports, in the confrontation between the Western Shang Empire and Xu Ding, more losses were lost than losses.

The weapons used by both sides are no longer knives, bows and arrows.

But firearms!

Such as rifles, grenades, machine guns, cannons.

As far as 1000 meters away, the enemy can be killed.

Compared with his troops, the strength is simply a world of difference.

Cao Cao panicked inexplicably.

Such a powerful enemy is right under his nose.Perhaps one day, Xu Ding and the Western Shang Empire will reach Yizhou. How will he resist then?

"Zhongda, do you know about the war in the Central Plains?"

"I know."

Cao Cao said: "It's ridiculous. We thought that his strength was not much worse than Xu Ding's. Now it seems that he is not incapable of conquering Yizhou, but he disdains it. Because with his strength, he can destroy us with a backhand. Wait until the soldiers of the Western Shang Empire The horse retreated, and then, it should be us."

"Absolutely."

Sima Yi said: "So, what my lord has to do now is to enrich the country and strengthen the army, reform the military system, and have an army like the Western Shang Empire, so that we can truly gain a foothold in the world. And, we can't let Xu Ding know, or it won't be long before, The promised army will come to Yizhou."

"exactly"

Cao Cao was also thinking about this question.

Sima Yi took out a roll of paper from his bosom, and handed it to Cao Cao: "I have known about the Central Plains for a long time. I was worried that my lord would be afraid, so I didn't tell you. This is a detailed drawing sent by me to the Central Plains. Please take a look at it." .”

The picture shows rifles and artillery.

"The weapons used by Xu Ding and the Western Shang Empire are probably like this," Sima Yi said.

"Just this small thing, can it shoot 1000 meters?" Cao Cao was surprised.

"Yes."
