After Meng You left the camp, there was no one to lead the barbarians in the camp, so he quickly surrendered under the combined attack of 10,000 cavalry and more than 20,000 Longyan troops.

The war between Ma Chao and Mrs. Zhurong did not last too long, Ma Chao saw that Meng was captured and Meng You left, and the overall situation had been decided, so he looked for a fast attack, and after another twenty rounds, Mrs. Zhurong was defeated and bound.

Since Ma Chao captured the two leaders of Meng Shu and Mrs. Zhurong, he was naturally very proud, so he led the army to return to Sangguan.

At this time, the entire battle under the Sangguan Pass had entered the final stage, Liu Bei saw that the entire battlefield was basically over, and only the vine armor soldiers were still struggling to compete with the big shield soldiers, so he ordered Lu Bu to escort the vulture bones to the front of the big shield soldiers' encirclement.

Lu Bu put Fang Tian's halberd on the neck of the vulture, and then said to all the vine armor soldiers: "All the vine armor soldiers, listen, put down your weapons, my lord must not investigate the past, otherwise the first to die will be your lord!" ”

At this time, the vulture wanted to resist after listening to Lu Bu's words, but was firmly restrained by Lu Bu, so everything was in vain.

Among the rattan armor soldiers, Sui County put down his weapons but Tu'an and Xi Ni, and then all the rattan armor soldiers put down the knives and rattan armor shields in their hands, and then Zhang Fei ordered the big shield soldiers to let go of a gap, so that all the rattan armor soldiers slowly walked out.

At this point, the entire battle into Sangguan was over, and this stop only lasted less than a day. However, for this day, Liu Bei. Xun You and Xi Zhong have been preparing for several days.

......

Cleaned up the whole battlefield, escorted all the captives into the Sangguan, the whole Sangguan showed that some people were overcrowded, in desperation, Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu, Ma Chao, Su Fei and Xun You to lead 40,000 Jinfan troops and 50,000 rattan armor soldiers to capture and build a new camp in the northeast outside Sangguan;

At the same time, he ordered Lü Bu, Huang Xu, Yan Rui and Xu Jing to lead 50,000 trapped troops, 40,000 Yizhou troops and more than 10,000 barbarian soldiers to build a new camp in the northwest outside Jinsang Pass.

And those who remained in Jinsang Pass were only more than 20,000 large shield soldiers and more than 20,000 Longyan troops stationed.

After everything was arranged, Xi Zhong, Xun You and other generals came to report the results of the battle to Liu Bei, and at the same time, they also escorted the vulture bones, Meng Shu and Mrs. Zhurong into the hall.

......

Seeing the Southern Barbarian King Meng Shu, Liu Bei began to mutter, whether to learn Zhuge Liang's general seven captures and seven verticals, in Liu Bei's heart, Liu Bei was not willing to capture seven verticals, mainly because it was too time-consuming and troop-consuming.

But if Meng Huo did not surrender at this time, Liu Bei would not be able to kill Meng Huo, because Meng Huo's prestige in Nanzhong was too high, and killing Meng Huo was afraid of provoking a civil uprising in Nanzhong; Second, even if it does not provoke a popular uprising, each cave master in Nanzhong is his own king, and Liu Bei will be useless when he hangs him.

But if you don't kill Meng Huo, then the only way to put Meng Huo back, but Meng Huo will inevitably gather forces to confront him, so Liu Bei really has a headache.

However, no matter how much headache he had, Liu Bei also had to deal with this matter, and then Liu Bei opened his mouth and asked Meng Shudao: "Meng Shu, the king of the Southern Barbarians?" ”

"It's me, you're the hussar general Liu Bei? I didn't expect that you, as Liu Han's royal himself, also coveted the throne of the Son of Heaven? Sent people to seize Jiaozhou early! Meng Shu was not afraid of Liu Bei and said.

However, Liu Bei smiled, and did not explain his behavior, and then looked at Meng Shu and said: "Now that you have been captured by me, and you also know that I have captured Jiaozhou, Liangzhou, Yongzhou and the Sili Captain's Department, so I don't know if the Southern Barbarian King is willing to surrender to me and reshape this Han world with me?" ”

"If I, Meng Shu, follow you, I don't know how the hussar general will treat Nanzhong? Can you still make me the lord of Nanzhong? Meng Shu thought in his heart that as long as he could still be the king of Nanzhong, there was no difference between taking refuge in Liu Bei and Liu Zhang, so he asked.

"Naturally not, in this Nanzhong, I will form a county system to govern, all the people must register and make a register, and send county officials according to my Han system, and all the officials will be appointed and dismissed by the central court during their lifetime. And the barbarian king can be a general for me to go home in the future, and he can lead the army to fight. A prince can enjoy wealth for generations. Liu Bei said with a slight smile.

"Since I was captured by the hussar general, I have nothing to choose, I am willing to surrender to the hussar general, but there are still many tribal cave masters in Nanzhong, I am willing to surrender everyone for the hussar general." As soon as Meng Shu heard Liu Bei's conditions, he didn't want to surrender at all, so he had a plan at this time and said so that he could speak.

Liu Bei showed great joy when he heard this, and then said: "It's so wonderful, but if you don't return, I have nothing to do, the three of you must leave one or two hostages!" ”

Meng was overjoyed when he heard this, but he didn't find that Liu Bei was so easy to deceive, and was about to open his mouth to choose who to stay, when Xi Zhong on the side hurriedly stepped forward and said:

"Lord, no, the barbarians have no faith, if Meng Shu doesn't care about the life or death of others, and leads the army to fight, then we won't have another vicious battle, in my opinion, it is better to kill Meng Huo, and then the caves in Nanzhong will fight separately, the lord cares that the army is pressing the caves with the momentum of thunder, and will definitely be able to unify Nanzhong!"

Meng Shu was shocked when he heard this, if Liu Bei really followed Xi Zhong's advice, Meng Shu would die and have no place to be buried. Therefore, Meng Huo hurriedly knelt on the ground and said sincerely: "Hussar general, don't believe me, my Southern Barbarian King Meng Huo is naturally a person of faith, and I only need a month to lead all the clans in Nanzhong to submit to the hussar general." ”

Liu Bei seemed to think about it carefully, and then nodded and said to Meng Shu: "Then who is the hostage?" ”

The Southern Barbarian King said without the slightest hesitation: "The vulture bones of the Ugo Kingdom can be taken hostage, and my wife Zhurong is the sister who brought the cave master, and I still need my wife to persuade me to bring the cave master!" ”

Liu Bei nodded and agreed: "In this case, the vulture bone will stay and continue to be guarded, but if you Meng Shu really don't pay attention to faith, I will kill the vulture bone." ”

Later, the celebrity returned the horses of Meng Huo and Mrs. Zhurong to the two and let them leave.

Meng Huo's choice was a great joy for Liu Bei, if Liu Bei wanted to obtain the vine armor soldiers, he must need the true submission of the vulture bones, otherwise the vine armor soldiers would not really fight for Liu Bei. This time, Meng Huo chose Mrs. Zhurong, and in terms of the vulture bone, he naturally hated Meng Shu to the bone, so as long as he was guided by it, it was no longer difficult for the vulture bone to be under his command.

At this point, Liu Bei began to say: "Suppress the vulture bone, and before you detain him, let him see his soldiers and war elephants!" "Although the war elephant is still in the trap at this time, it is not injured, and there is no danger to life, and Liu Bei is deliberately showing favor to the vultures.

After the vulture bone was taken down, Liu Bei turned to everyone, and at this time, Xi Zhong and Xun You were suddenly surprised, so Xun You said: "Lord, did Fang deliberately let Meng Huo go?" ”

"That's true, Meng Huo's prestige in Nanzhong is too high, and it is useless to capture and kill him, only if he sincerely surrenders, Nanzhong will not rebel. This can also provide convenience for me to govern Nanzhong! Liu Bei said his thoughts.

"Lord, it's just that this Meng Shu will definitely not surrender sincerely this time, so there will definitely be a fierce battle!" Xi Zhong said.

"That's true, but from my point of view, if it is to evaluate Nanzhong, I am willing to have a few more such vicious battles." After Liu Bei finished speaking, everyone nodded slightly.

"Then just now the lord asked Meng Shu to leave one person, in fact, he wanted to leave the vulture bone?" Xun You asked again.

"That's true, Meng Shu has no faith in this person, I let him leave a person as a hostage, he will inevitably leave a vulture bone, so that the vulture bone will no longer be used by him, so that when Meng Shu rebels, I will not kill the vulture bone, maybe the vulture bone can be used by me! After all, the rattan armor soldiers under his command are also considered to be a divine soldier, and if they are used well, they can resist hundreds of thousands of troops! Liu Bei explained again.

"That's true, it's just that the lord will use rattan armor soldiers in the future, and he needs to guard against fire attacks!" Xi Zhong suggested.

"Naturally!"
