Chapter 347 341. Discussion
"..."

After listening to Ah Huinan's somewhat nagging opinions, which were full of case-based evidence, Dong Tuna fell into deep thought.

Ah Huinan's point can be summarized into two points. First, Meng Huo is too selfish. For his own selfish interests, he could deceive everyone once last year. Will he continue to deceive everyone for some ulterior motives in the future?

Second, compared to Meng Huo, who was obsessed with "power struggle" in Nanzhong, Ah Hui Nan was moved by the Han people's policies. He also wanted to lead his Third Cave to join the Han people, but he couldn't make up his mind.

"Ah Huinan, these words are just between you and me today. Don't make them known to others. If the king hears about it, I'm afraid both our lives will be in danger."

Dong Tuna did not answer Ah Huinan's question, but warned him first. Now, no matter who heard Ah Huinan's words, it would only confirm that Ah Huinan had the idea of ​​betraying Nanzhong and Meng Huo, and there was no other possibility.

Therefore, for the sake of their lives and property, although Dong Tuna knew that A Hui Nan should also know that what was said today should not be spread, he still couldn't help but give him a few words of advice, and A Hui Nan nodded very honestly.

"First of all, since the king is the ruler of Nanzhong... it is natural that he should be in charge of all the affairs of Nanzhong. But... alas, the king's actions in the Yang Feng incident were really disheartening."

Dong Tuna shook his head. It would be a lie to say that he was not disappointed with Meng Huo. But before today, Dong Tuna had no choice. What else could he do if he did not follow Meng Huo in Nanzhong? Raise an army to rebel against Meng Huo?

Don’t you see that even though the conflicts between Yang Feng and Meng Huo accumulated to that extent, he never openly disobeyed Meng Huo’s orders before joining the Han army. There was no way around it. This was the unspoken rule of Nanzhong.

But now that Yang Feng has a new employer, and Ahui Nan is also treated kindly by the commander-in-chief of the Han army, the more active Dong Tu Na has some different ideas.

Dong Tuna naturally knew that if he continued to fight against the Han army, he would inevitably fail. Now that there was another way to go, and the future was better than the current one, Dong Tuna naturally would not want to go down the same path with Meng Huo.

However, Dong Tuna was not like Ah Huinan. He had never met Feng Xi in person, so he naturally had some doubts about what the Han army said. This was also the reason why he was hesitant to make up his mind.

"Dong Tu, since you can't make up your mind, why don't you go meet with the Han commander-in-chief and discuss it in detail?"

Seeing that Dong Tuna was unable to make a decision because of such a simple reason, Ah Huinan, who was simple and honest, did not even think about it and blurted out the answer.

"How can I see him?"

Dong Tu was a little speechless. How could he meet Feng Xi? He couldn't disobey the military order and take a part of the troops out to give them away, and then be captured and meet them later, right?

"It's easy. We have now retreated to the west of Laoshui River. Dong Tu, you can advise King Meng Huo to exchange prisoners. Or you can find another excuse to go to the Han army's tent as an envoy. Then you can meet the Han commander-in-chief, right?"

Ah Hui laughed foolishly, as if he thought Dong Tuna couldn't even think of this. Dong Tuna slapped his forehead. Ah Hui's words made sense. As long as he could meet the Han army commander, it didn't matter how he got there. However, he still had to think about this excuse...

The two talked all night, and A Huinan was already a little absent-minded about Nanzhong. If Dong Tuna hadn't asked him to wait, and if the timing was not right, A Huinan would probably have followed Yang Feng's example and left the cave to join the Han.

The two sides confronted each other for several days with Laoshui as the boundary. It was not because Meng Huo's defense was effective, but simply because the Han army also needed time to recuperate, rebuild the camp, clean up the corpses, and clean up the battlefield. These trivial matters also took time.

"Everyone, I have good news for you."

On this day, Meng Huo suddenly called together the cave masters and marshals of all the caves, his face full of excitement. The crowd was naturally very tactful, no one interrupted Meng Huo, allowing him to continue speaking.

Sure enough, Meng Huo paused and continued speaking.

"Ever since I heard that the Han army was going to interfere in my affairs in the south, I ordered the messenger to hurry up and ask the Wuguo country to send troops to help. Now the Wuguo king Wutugu has received news that he is personally leading 30,000 rattan-armored soldiers to help."

Meng Huo was holding a roll of animal skins in his hand, feeling particularly excited. The Wuguo Kingdom was also a close neighbor of Nanzhong, and the ruler of the Wuguo Kingdom, Wutugu, was even more extraordinary. The ruler, Wutugu, was two feet tall, and it was rumored that he did not eat grains, but ate snakes and beasts. The rattan armor soldiers under his command were impenetrable to swords and knives, and did not get wet when in contact with water. They were truly terrifying.

That is to say, the productivity of Wugo country is not very good, and often they even have to rely on bartering with some caves in the south to maintain their daily needs. However, the rattan armor in their country is a unique one, and it is a secret that is not passed on. The production process is never revealed to outsiders.

Now that such a strong reinforcement has arrived, the cave masters are naturally cheering, and Meng Huo is also smiling. With the 30,000 rattan armor soldiers of the Wuguo Kingdom, the one-sided balance between him and the Han army can be turned around.

It is expected that these Han soldiers would never have imagined that there could be such a strange thing in the world.

Dong Tuna and Ah Hui Nan were extremely entangled at the moment. This news was naturally good news, but their original idea of ​​joining the Han army seemed to be in vain. After all, the Han people probably didn't know the horror of the rattan armor army.

After thinking about this, both of them couldn't help but show difficulty on their faces, which made Meng Huo, who had been quietly observing the people below, raise his eyebrows unconsciously.

As we all know, what these ambitious leaders hate most are those troublemakers who go against them at the "critical moment". Seeing that Ah Huinan and Dong Tuna looked a little distressed, Meng Huo put his hands in vain to stop the noisy chaos, and suddenly started to attack the two.

"Marshal Dong Tuna, Marshal Ah Huinan, why are you two so unhappy?"

This sudden question startled Dong Tuna. Ah Hui scratched his head, not knowing what to say. Fortunately, Dong Tuna reacted quickly and immediately stepped forward and bowed.

"Your Majesty, Dong Tuna is worried that if we defeat the Han army here, the Han army will continue to send troops, and we will not be able to have peace in the South."

Although Dong Tuna's excuse was just something he came up with at the spur of the moment, it still made some sense, like a bucket of cold water that woke everyone up.

Yes, the Han people have more than just 50,000 troops. If another 50,000 or 100,000 come, how will they survive in Nanzhong?

"Well... Marshal Dong Tu's words make sense, so do you have any opinions?"

Seeing that Dong Dana seemed to be genuinely concerned about him, Meng Huo gave up the idea of ​​making things difficult for him and instead showed an attitude of humbly accepting instruction.

Dong Tuna's mind moved. He had said before that there was no chance of contact with the Han army, but now it's here?

"Your Majesty, why don't you send an envoy to visit the Han army and ask them to release all our prisoners? We will not make things difficult for them. As long as they are willing to withdraw their troops, this matter will end here."
