Meng Huo's body flew away from the war horse, and Ma Feng's personal soldiers pounced, dividing five by two, tying Meng Huo up with five flowers. Ω Meng Shu struggled, but the rope became tighter and tighter, and he was deeply immersed in the flesh, Ma Feng pointed at Meng Shu and laughed: "Meng Shu, please forgive, I can ask the soldiers to relax for you." ”

Meng Shu's bones were stiff, his head was raised, and he sneered: "Let me beg for mercy, in the next life." ”

Ma Feng saw that Meng Huo was stiff and didn't speak, killed the barbarians, and escorted Meng Huo to see Cao Cao.

Cao Cao looked at Meng Huo, who was sweating profusely, his big face was flushed, and he was amused in his heart, so he ordered the guards under his tent to loosen Meng Huo's bonds. "Meng Huo, I was caught again this time, what else can I say?"

Meng Shu rubbed his sour shoulders and said with a grin: "Your army is just relying on a large number of people, if the strength is evenly matched, victory or defeat is unpredictable." ”

Cao Cao laughed, pointed at Meng Shu and said, "If you are by the Ruoshui River, you have an army of 80,000, aren't you also captured?" ”

Meng Shu said: "If it weren't for your repeated tricks, my army would definitely defeat you." ”

Cao Cao said: "Okay, I don't know how you can be convinced?" ”

Meng Shu rolled his eyes and said: "I set up a big formation in Nanshan Lagu, if you break this formation, I, Meng Shu, am willing to obey you." ”

"Nanshan Lagu?" Cao Cao groaned: "The barbarian king is not a pocket array, right? Trying to trap our army? ”

Meng Shu was secretly shocked in his heart, but he pretended to look down on Cao Cao on his face, and said proudly: "I heard that Cao Mengde is unpredictable with soldiers, is it cowardice?" ”

Cao Cao sneered: "I have fought hundreds of battles in my life, why am I afraid of the little Nanban? ”

"That's good, I'm waiting for your army to arrive in Nanshan Valley." After Meng Shu finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

"The barbarian king waits, is it just gone?" Cao Cao said in his heart, I haven't ordered you to let you go.

Meng Shu pretended to be stupid and said, "I don't know what else is going on with General Cao?" ”

"Haha..., the two generals of our army, Zhang Wei and Zhang Yi, are still in your hands, and the barbarian king has been captured, so there must be an explanation."

Meng Shu had long thought that Cao Cao would say this, and he said: "General Cao, your army is two generals. ”

Cao Cao said: "The two generals can't be exchanged for the barbarian king? Do you want to devalue yourself? ”

Meng Shu originally wanted to take the opportunity to knock on Cao Cao's bamboo bar, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to expect this and block it with words. Meng Shu smacked his lips and said with a dry smile: "Okay, when I return to the cottage, I will immediately let the two generals go." ”

"No, no." Cao Cao smiled and said: "For the barbarian king's behavior, this general can't believe it a little. ”

Meng Huo immediately became anxious, "How can a man stand up to the sky, how can he not believe in his words?" ”

Cao Cao smiled: "When will the barbarian king keep his word? ”

Meng Shu was stunned again, and said embarrassedly: "I am a barbarian king, and I need to consider it for the barbarians in Nanzhong, this is a big deal, and I dare not promise it easily." Hostage exchange, personal trivialities, as a man, should abide by the promise. ”

Cao Cao said: "Since this is the case, I will believe in the barbarian king once, before noon tomorrow, I will see the return of the two generals, I hope not to disappoint this general." ”

Meng Shu said angrily: "I will never break my word." ”

Cao Cao smiled and waved his hand to let Meng Huo go.

Zhang Ren saw that Meng was gone, and said to Cao Cao: "Cao Gong, Nanshan Lagu, there are rocks and trees, bushes, and many poisons. ”

Cao Cao said: "Don't I know Meng Shu's heart? Since the emperor has decided to subdue the hearts of the people of Nanzhongyi, he must convince them. Meng Huo said, since we already know about it, how can we let their plot succeed? I ask for your comments. ”

Wang Ping said: "To deal with poison, it is still the local Yi people, why don't Cao Gong let the new Yi people enter the valley, and my army is responding outside and watching the changes." ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Meng Shu wants to let my army all enter the valley and fight to the death, so arranged, won't the barbarians laugh at me and be afraid?" ”

Ma Feng said: "Gong Cao, the barbarians will inevitably lie on both sides of the valley, condescending, attacking our army with rolling stones and wood, and cutting off the back road of our army. Within three days, our army lost all its combat strength. Knowing that he is in danger, the public wants to do it, and there must be a plan in his chest. ”

Cao Cao smiled: "General Ma knows my heart well. Liu Zhen, are your snake lovers and pheasants ready? ”

Liu Zhen touched his head and said, "The last general is on a whim, how did Uncle Cao know?" ”

Cao Cao deliberately lowered his face, "You made your own claim and did not tell you, what crime should you be guilty of?" ”

Liu Zhen said: "I ordered the tribe to take a day off, but I reported it to you, didn't you nod and agree at that time?" ”

Cao Cao said: "You only said that you let the soldiers take a vacation, but you didn't say what the vacation was for, shouldn't you be punished?" ”

Liu Zhen smiled bitterly: "The last general will admit punishment and ask Uncle Cao to give an order." ”

Cao Cao smiled, "Punish you for handing over the poison buster caught by the soldiers to the general." ”

Liu Zhen said: "Obey the order, and the last general will let people send things." ”

Cao Cao smiled and said to the generals: "Everyone, please think about it, our army will first send a small force into the valley and release snake beasts and pheasants, what will happen to the poison in the valley?" ”

Wang Ping smiled: "Hehe, I understand." Cao Gong's meaning, poison nemesis into the valley, poison will inevitably run around, the barbarians lying on the top of the mountain are infestation, panicked, our army took the opportunity to enter the valley, and then divided the troops to attack. ”

Cao Cao smiled: "Yes, in order to be perfect, my army still has to make some preparations." ”

Five days later, outside the Lagu Pass in Nanshan, the Han soldiers and horses arrived, and it was almost dusk. Meng Shu said proudly to Mrs. Zhurong: "Madam, this king has a little trick, and he will play Cao Cao in the palm of his hand, once the Han army enters the valley, we will cut off the valley mouth, and sit on the top of the mountain to watch the Han army die of misery." ”

Mrs. Zhurong glanced at Meng Shu, and said delicately: "Cao Mengde knows that the valley is dangerous, but he still led the army to arrive, do you think he has no backhand?" ”

Meng Shu choked for a moment, "How does Madam think Cao Mengde will respond?" ”

Mrs. Zhurong said: "I'm not a roundworm in his stomach, how do I know?" ”

Meng Shu muttered to himself: "The cliffs on both sides of the valley are steep, can't Cao Mengde let the soldiers fly up?" ”

Cao Cao ordered 3,000 soldiers to enter the valley first. These 3,000 people took out the wine bottles one by one, poured a few sips of realgar wine first, and then rubbed the mugwort leaves that had been collected long ago, smeared them on their bodies, carried the cages of the cages, and the back pockets of the back pockets, and entered the valley. When he came to the middle of the valley, he took advantage of the grass and trees to shield him, and released all the pheasants in the cage and the snake-loving beasts in the pocket.

Meng Shu was puzzled when he saw that only a few thousand people of the Han army had entered the valley, and he saw that the soldiers who had entered the valley were holding strange weapons, and they entered the valley and squatted in the grass and trees without knowing what to do, so he was even more puzzled, and asked his wife: "Which one is the Han army singing?" ”

Mrs. Zhurong said: "In my guess, this is Cao Mengde's strategy. ”

Meng Shu said: "Thousands of people, what kind of fame can they make?" We'll just sit back and see what happens. ”

The pheasant was hungry for two days, and saw the scorpions and centipedes in the dark on the ground, and it was almost late, and it was the time when the scorpions and centipedes wanted to go out to forage for food, and the pheasants were hungry, and there was a fierce pecking forward. When the scorpion and centipede saw that the natural enemy was coming, they hurriedly fled to both sides; The snake lover (meerkat) was also starved for two days, out of its pockets, and scurried around in search of poisonous snakes to fill its hungry stomachs. The poisonous snake entrenched in the valley, dominating one side, smelled the smell of the snake-loving beast, and fled in a hurry.

An hour later, the brute soldiers lying on both sides of the valley heard the terrifying sound of Xi Suo Suo coming from the side of the cliff, at this time the sky was dark, the brute had to light torches to check, under the firelight, countless poisonous snakes, poisonous insects poured like a tide, frightened hands trembling, torches fell to the ground, and the soldiers shouted: "Mom! "Turn around and run.

Countless torches fell to the ground, and the poison suddenly exploded, climbed to the top of the mountain, scattered and fled, encountered the brute, showed his weapons, came up, and quickly escaped. Mrs. Meng Shu and Mrs. Zhurong often drink realgar wine and are not afraid of poisonous snakes, but the dense centipedes crawl on their bodies, and they also shudder.

The 3,000 soldiers in the valley began to beat gongs and drums at the bottom of the valley to make noise, and pheasants and snake-loving beasts ran in all directions, avoiding the man-made noise.

Cao Cao saw that the time had come, and the army entered the valley. In the dark night, the barbarians only cared about beating and dodging poisons, and they didn't care if the Han army could enter the valley. As soon as the army entered the valley, they divided into several groups and climbed towards the cliffs on both sides.

Although the cliff is steep, all the soldiers who climb have flying claws, and when they encounter difficult places to climb, they throw out their flying claws, grasp the trees and rocks on the cliff, and still fly up.

The peaks on both sides of the valley are only more than 600 meters, and the physical strength of the Wudang Feijun is quite good, and they climbed up in less than an hour.

Meng Huo saw the Han army climbing, and ordered the barbarians to attack, but there were not many barbarians left who could fight, and the wails of the barbarians who were attacked by poisonous snakes were terrifying at night, and the barbarians just pushed down a few stones, and it didn't matter the overall situation.

The Han army went up the mountain and immediately started to fight, because of the adequate preparation, everyone was not afraid of poison, compared to the barbarian soldiers, it was natural to slash and kill. Meng Shu was helpless and ordered to retreat, and the barbarians retreated in a hurry, leaving countless corpses.

Meng Shu pulled his wife and retreated on the hillside, suddenly there was a darkness overhead, and when he looked up, he saw countless huge black shadows flying in the air, passing the fleeing barbarians, and slowly falling dozens of feet in front of him.

When the brute saw the night flyer in the moonlight, he immediately fell to his knees, and fell to the ground trembling with a mouth full of grunts.

Meng Huo and Mrs. Zhu Rong were also so frightened that their souls were not possessed, could it be that the gods didn't let go of themselves? When he hesitated whether to kneel, a deep voice in front of him said, "Meng Shu, don't kneel down yet?" Wait for the barbarians, it has nothing to do with this matter, go down the mountain quickly. ”

When the barbarian saw the immortal speak, he slipped away with a smoke, and Meng Shu hurriedly stomped his feet, unable to stop it.

Mrs. Zhurong stared at it, and saw that the person who came was wearing the armor of the Han army, and the habit of speaking was the usual tone of the Han army, and she knew that it was not the immortals who came, but the Han army, and she was bold, and sneered: "The Wuna Han people, pretending to be ghosts, want to leave our husband and wife, I don't know what you are capable of?" ”

It was Liu Zhen who spoke. It turned out that Liu Zhen saw Meng Shu fleeing, and immediately led a hundred flying troops to jump down from the top of the mountain, and with the help of a glider, landed in front of Meng Shu and them.

Liu Zhen pretended to be a ghost and scared away the barbarians, leaving Meng Huo's two sons and dozens of personal soldiers, seeing Mrs. Zhurong's words, he smiled and said: "I am not talented, and I will teach Mrs. Zhu means." ”
