19. Chapter 19 18 The Descendants of Meng Huo
Descendants of the nineteenth Meng
It was about an hour from the time I saw the smoke to the door of the house, because I had to climb over a hill and make a detour. Wang Yueyue was already out of breath, and Captain Zhao had good physical strength and was quite easy on his feet.
The family's thatched hut was embedded in the col, and in front of the house there was an open space the size of half a basketball court, and on three sides of the open space was a steep slope, and at the edge of the open space were planted with fruit trees, which were full of all kinds of fruit, but they were all unripe. Pushing open the half-hidden door, an elderly couple was eating inside, and they were surprised and happy to see someone visiting. "Distinguished guests, please come in, please come in", it was actually an authentic Sichuan dialect, and the silver-haired man got up to greet him, like an immortal in the mountains.
At this time, Wang Yueyue felt a little hungry in her belly, and was thinking about how to open her mouth to the two old men, and the silver-haired man said: "Three distinguished guests, if you don't dislike it, you can eat here for a quick meal." "Uncle Xie Lu, you're welcome", Wang Yueyue actually sat on the stool. The hostess also put down the dishes and chopsticks and got up to greet Zhao Xiaodong's brothers and sisters.
As he spoke, the silver-haired old man had already taken out a bowl of stewed bamboo shoots with pheasant and a bowl of bacon stewed with mushrooms. Wang Yueyue had a big appetite, and without waiting for the master to greet her, a chopstick was already in her mouth. She praised while eating: "Fresh, delicious", and actually turned against the guest: "Head Zhao, Sister Xiaochun, eat more". The silver-haired old man looked at them with a smile and gobbled them up, his heart was full of joy, it was estimated that he hadn't seen a visitor for several years, and he smiled like a bodhisattva, otherworldly.
The white-haired old man waited for the three of them to eat and drink, and then told them "the story of Zhuge Liang's seven captures of Meng Shu"
,
"Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo Meng six times, Meng Shu's heart has gradually developed a sense of awe for Zhuge Liang, but there is still some injustice in his heart. In Lushui, please help the marshal of the two caves, he was afraid of the conspiracy of Zhongkongming, only defended without fighting, and wanted to wait for the hot weather to let the Shu army retreat on its own
Kong Ming ordered the sergeants to set up a camp in the woods to escape the heat, and ordered Ma Dai to lead 3,000 soldiers to cross the river from the mouth of the Shahe River, go around to the rear of the barbarian soldiers, cut off the barbarian soldiers' food and grass, and also recruited the marshal of Liangdong as an internal response.
Meng Huo adhered to the Lujiang natural insurance, thinking that it was foolproof, and drank every day for fun. Shu general Ma Dai crossed the Lushui in the middle of the night, seized the grain and grass of the marshal Dong Dana, and cut off the grain road in the mountains.
Dong Dana was resentful, and took advantage of Meng Huo's drunkenness to gather his subordinates to tie Meng Huo up to see Kong Ming. Meng Shu was still not convinced, and after Kong Ming let Meng Huo see the grain and grass of the elite soldiers in the Shu camp, Meng Shu was still not convinced, so he released him back.
Meng Shu said to his younger brother Meng You, we know the military situation of the Shu army, you led more than 100 elite soldiers to present treasures to Kong Ming, and took the opportunity to kill Kong Ming.
Kong Ming asked Ma Jian if he knew about Meng Shu's conspiracy, and Ma Jian smiled and wrote Meng Shu's conspiracy on paper. Kong Ming laughed when he saw it, and ordered someone to drug the wine and let Meng You and other barbarians eat and drink.
That night, Meng Yu rushed into the army with 30,000 soldiers to arrest Kong Ming, and only after entering the account did he know that he had been deceived, and Meng You and other barbarians were all drunk. Wei Yan, Wang Ping, and Zhao Yun divided their troops to kill them in three ways, and the barbarian soldiers were defeated, and Meng Shou fled to Lushui alone."
Wang Yueyue thought to herself that this old man probably hadn't talked to people for a long time, what kind of stories he told, and he wanted to eat other people's soft mouths, so he pretended to listen carefully, and the silver-haired old man stopped talking about this, his eyes smiled into a slit, and asked Yueyue: "Do you know who this Meng Shu is?" "Nanbanbei", Wang Yueyue said casually, feeling a little abrupt, and added: "That's what our people in the Central Plains used to call it."
The old man still smiled slightly, and said, "Do you know the relationship between Meng Shu and us?" Wang Yueyue shook her head, thinking, what can Meng Huo have to do with you. The old man didn't wait for someone to answer, and said unhurriedly: "The old woman and I are both descendants of Meng Shu, authentic descendants, hehehe." "Later, Zhuge Liang and Meng Shu became the best friends, hehe."
Wang Yueyue's eyes were as wide as snails, and she couldn't imagine that there were still descendants of Meng Huo in this vast primeval forest, so why would this descendant speak authentic Sichuan dialect? The next chapter previews Chapter 20: There are people in the depths of the white clouds
