Chapter 170: Seven Captures and Seven Verticals
Meng Shu saw that the vulture bone's eyes were not good, he lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything more, sat sullenly on the side, took a branch, and tickled the red-haired cow. New Ω'Ω pen ΩΔ Fun Pavilion.
Early in the morning of the second day, 30,000 vine armor soldiers of the Ugo Kingdom poured into the Valley of the Snake and followed the footsteps and hoofprints to pursue the Han army. Although Meng Shu also followed the vulture bone, the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, and he wanted to open his mouth several times, but he reluctantly swallowed the words into his stomach.
The Snake Valley is extremely long, and 30,000 people walked in, and under the cover of the weeds and grass in the sky, it also looked shadowy. The vulture was riding on the elephant's back, urging the barbarians to speed up their pace, hoping to catch up with the Han army a moment earlier. When the army was about to reach the mouth of the valley, suddenly a drum sounded, and then smoke and dust billowed on both sides of the valley, and countless boulders fell from the sky, and the power was amazing, sealing the valley mouth to death.
Only then did the vulture bone know that Meng Huo's worry was not unreasonable, and he looked at Meng Huo and asked, "Barbarian King, what should I do?" ”
Meng Shu said: "Lord, order the army to retreat sharply. ”
The vulture bones hurriedly complied, and the 30,000 vine armor soldiers turned around and ran, running out less than five miles, when there was an explosion on the cliff in front of them, smoke splashed, and the power of the boulder bearer Wan Jun rolled down, cutting off the back road.
The vultures were half cold in their hearts, it's over, everything is over, and if you accidentally lose everything, take pity on the 30,000 sons of my Ugo country. Meng Shu said: "Lord of the country, when the boulder no longer falls, let the army quickly turn over, once you get out of trouble, everything is easy to say." ”
Where does the vulture bone still have an idea in his heart now, Meng Yu said Well, let's see that there are no more boulders falling on the cliff, and send three thousand barbarian soldiers, tentatively approaching, ready to turn over.
The barbarians were still a few hundred meters away from the stone wall, and a drum sounded on the cliff, and the big stones and sassal trees rolled down, which frightened the barbarians and retreated.
After such a toss, most of the day passed, and the 30,000 barbarian soldiers were so hungry that they were close to their hearts, and Meng Shu said: "Lord of the country, let the sons and daughters fill their stomachs first, and secretly cross the stone wall at night." ”
It was nearly evening, and countless rockets were suddenly shot down on the cliffs on both sides of the chaotic stone wall, igniting the piles of sasswood and weeds, and where the fire was not strong, one by one the clay pots fell from the sky, and the cans were filled with fire oil. The wind in the valley was strong, and the smoke was thick, choking the vine armor soldiers with tears streaming down their faces, clutching their throats and coughing.
The vulture was desperate and asked Meng Xudao, "Barbarian King, how is this good?" ”
Meng Shu groaned and said: "Lord, the Han army is besieging but not attacking, intending to trap our army, we can wait for the opportunity with peace of mind, and we will not worry about our lives." ”
The vultures had an astonishing appetite, and at this time his hungry stomach was growling, and a dozen brute soldiers held torches and looked for poisonous snakes and small beasts for him in the grass. After looking for a few hours, I caught more than a dozen small snakes, took the vulture bone, pinched the snake's seven inches, used a slight force in the nails, cut the snake skin, went to the five organs, and swallowed it in a bloody mouthful.
After eating the vultures, he wiped his bloody hands on the blades of grass, and said to Meng Shu: "Barbarian King, the fire on the stone wall is getting smaller, do you have to prepare for it?" ”
Meng Shu said: "The Han army will definitely not let our army get what it wants. ”
As soon as Meng Huo's words fell, huge rattan balls fell on the cliffs on both sides, which were stuffed with dry firewood, and the rattan balls fell to the ground, and the fire restarted. The vulture bone bridge couldn't keep his tongue down, and muttered: "In less than five days, 30,000 sons will be hungry and weak." ”
Meng Shu said: "The lord of the country, send Erlang to test the cliffs on both sides to see if you can climb it, although the Han army is numerous, there are also places that cannot be taken care of." ”
The vulture sought out Xi Ni and ordered him to lead thousands of barbarians to find a way out.
The cliffs on both sides of the Snake Valley are steep, and there is a lot of rain in the south, and the mountain walls are slippery, making it difficult to borrow. Xi Ni tossed all night, folded hundreds of barbarians, and finally returned in vain.
Meng Shu looked up at the long and narrow sky, suddenly overjoyed, and said to the vulture: "Lord, the army has been saved." ”
The vultures said, "What trick does the barbarian king have that he can't achieve? ”
Meng Shu said: "Look at the sky, there are many dark clouds, I'm afraid that the heavy rain is about to fall, our army took the opportunity to climb over the chaotic stone wall, didn't it escape a catastrophe?" ”
Only then did the vulture bone see the black clouds rolling in the sky, and his heart was overjoyed, and he ordered the whole army to prepare to break through.
Cao Cao also looked up at the sky, worried, it was going to rain on this day, manpower was unstoppable, could it be that the will of heaven would not die vine armor soldiers? Cao Ang was beside him, seeing his father worried, he said: "Father, the heavy rain is falling, and the wall of fire is useless, so the soldiers can only continue to push down the rocks and raise the wall, making it difficult for the barbarians to climb over." ”
Cao Cao said: "I intend to subdue the rattan armor soldiers for my use, but the heavens are not beautiful, so I have to kill the killer and let him die in this valley." ”
Liu Zhen said: "Uncle Cao, I have a method that can deter the enemy, please ask my uncle for permission." ”
Cao Cao said, "You come here." ”
Liu Zhen said: "Order a hundred flying troops, with the help of the wind, over the cliff, the barbarians will definitely bow and worship, our army take the opportunity to surrender, maybe twice the result with half the effort." ”
"With Meng Shu there, do you believe it?"
Cao Ang said: "Order the flying army to dress up as a god, fly over the barbarians, sprinkle flowers and wine, and the vulture bones may be hit." ”
Cao Cao said: "It is necessary to ensure that the flying army can fly over the valley, and not to make unnecessary casualties. ”
Liu Zhen said: "The heavy rain is coming, the wind is the guide, with the help of the wind, the flying army can leap thousands of feet, a small snake valley, no problem." ”
Cao Cao said: "Be careful of the 10,000-year-old ship, you go and prepare, remember not to be reckless." ”
After Liu Zhen left, Cao Ang said: "My father has always used danger in the army, why is he hesitant today?" ”
Cao Cao said: "It is not easy to temper the flying army, the emperor used ten years of strength to get more than 1,000 people in the flying army, how can it be easily used?" ”
The clouds are getting thicker, the valley is darker, and the vultures can't help but pray for the sky and the heavy rain, come quickly.
The wind started, and at first it only shook the trees, and then it grew stronger, and the wind in the valley blew up the dust and leaves, and obscured the sky, and the mountain wind swept over the treetops, whining, like a ghost crying, like an ape. Birds and birds in the mountains and forests, wild beasts scurrying at the roots of trees, all of them seem flustered and powerless in the face of the power of nature.
A brute pointed to the sky, wow wow yelled, when the barbarians looked up, they saw a group of immortals passing by in the low sky, they were born with wings, fluttering in the wind, robes and big sleeves, flying in the wind, seeing the barbarians below, throwing flowers at will, flowers flying, indescribably magnificent. But in an instant, hundreds of immortals had already flown over the heads of the brute soldiers and disappeared.
The 30,000 rattan armor soldiers were shocked, all kneeling on the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic, muttering, some are lucky, pick up flowers, and pin them on the rattan armor; There were even more fortunate brute soldiers, who picked up one cowhide bag after another, and when they opened it, there was a smell of wine, and the barbarians did not dare to enjoy it alone, so they hurriedly gave the wine to the vultures.
The vultures smelled the aroma of wine, and couldn't help but say: Could it be that this is the elixir and jade liquid? The heavens have eyes, and they give me good wine. With that, he lifted the cowhide bag and drank it all.
Meng Shu saw the handwriting written on the bag, which was only meant to persuade the vulture bones to surrender and not to make fearless resistance, so he sneered in his heart and said loudly: "My lord, this is just a Han army pretending to be a ghost, and it is intended to deceive our army. ”
How did the vulture believe Meng Shu's words, and at this time he also saw the words on the bag, and he couldn't read a word, so he had to ask Meng Shu. Meng Shu deliberately recited: "The general of the Han army respectfully tells the lord of the Ugo country, Wu Tugu, that today's army is surrounded and surrendered, if not, you will die without a place to be buried." ”
The vulture was furious, and he took Meng Huo up as soon as he could, raised one arm in the air, and held it in the air, "The barbarian king deceived me!" Hundreds of immortals appeared and gave me flowers and wine, how could they speak for the Han army? ”
Meng Shu shouted: "It's really written on the cowhide bag, can the lord of the country believe me?" ”
The vulture bone still didn't let go, and asked the barbarian in a loud voice: "I don't believe it, there will be no one who knows Chinese characters among the 30,000 rattan armor soldiers?" Hurry up and inform the whole army, if there are people who know Chinese characters, the lord of the country will reward them. ”
Xi Ni said loudly: "Lord of the country, I have a son-in-law who knows a few Chinese characters. ”
The vulture was overjoyed, and as soon as he let go, he threw Meng Shu to the ground and said loudly, "Please." ”
After a while, a brute arrived, and the vultures handed over the cowhide bag and said eagerly, "Read it quickly." ”
The barbarian took it and stumbled and read: We were cultivating immortals in Wuliang Mountain, and suddenly felt that the lord of the Ugo country was in trouble, so he flew to watch, and saw that the lord of the country was actually the enemy of the Han army, and he was very angry. The Emperor of the Han Dynasty is a Daoming monarch, why does the lord of the country use his mantis arm as a car to fight against the heavenly soldiers? Someone must be demagogued. We give us flowers, and wine, and miracles. Duh, the Wutu bones, take down the bewitched people, surrender to the Han army, return to the Heavenly Empire, and never betray, then I am equivalent to the mountain protector of the Er tribe.
There are immortals in Wuliang Mountain, people from near and far don't know, the vulture bone saw that the barbarian had a nose and eyes to read, and the amount was true, think about Meng Shu, but he was not bewitched by him, so he sent troops to confront the Han army? Now that the army is in the dead land, these immortals have coincidentally appeared to show me the way, how dare I not follow the instructions of the gods? Thinking of this, Wu Tuguo shouted: "Tie up Meng Shu." The white flag was erected, and our army surrendered to the Han army. ”
Meng Huo had just been tied up, lightning and thunder roared in the air, and heavy rain fell from the sky. The more vulture Guyue believed that he was doing the right thing, and sent someone to take care of Meng Huo, wave the white flag, and contact the Han army.
Meng Shu finally understood that with his own ability, he would never be the opponent of the Han army, Cao Cao just used a little trick, and deceived the vulture bones, and he couldn't argue, so he had to close his eyes and let the heavy rain wash away.
The boulders of the chaotic stone wall slowly moved away, revealing a gap that was more than a foot wide, and Ma Tan, accompanied by several natives, came to see the vultures. At this time, the vulture bone was in awe of the Han army from his heart, and successfully agreed to the conditions proposed by Ma Tan.
Cao Cao came down the mountain, and when he saw that the short man in front of him was not angry and arrogant, his eyes flickered, and his heart jumped for no reason, and he knelt down towards Cao Cao. Cao Cao's kind words soothed, and when the vulture heard the interpretation of the natives, he was overjoyed, pointed to the heavens and the earth, and swore allegiance to the Han.
Meng Huo was pushed over by several barbarian soldiers, Cao Cao hurriedly covered his face with his sleeves, and said to the left and right: "I have no shame to see the barbarian king again, let him leave." ”
Meng Shu was impressed, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "I will return to Dianchi, and I will do my best to be loyal to the Celestial Empire, and I will never rebel." ”
Cao Cao said: "In addition to being captured today, the barbarian king has been repeated seven times in a row, and I really don't believe what the barbarian king said. ”
Meng Shu kowtowed and bleed, crying and said: "I don't measure myself, I want to learn from Yelang, and I was captured today, so I realized how shallow I am." Now that he is attached to it, if Cao Gong can't believe it, he can take Meng Huo's head. ”
Cao Cao said with a smile: "The barbarian king is sincerely attached, and sincerity is a fortunate thing in Nanzhong." Nanzhong is stable, and our Han Dynasty can send troops from now on, exalt its prestige outside the territory, encompass the world, and make all the places where the sun shines are the land of our Han Dynasty. ”
Meng Shu whimpered and said: "What I did was a mistake in a major national event. In the future, but there is a drive, Meng Huo will work hard to move forward. ”
Cao Cao said with a smile: "The so-called don't fight and don't know each other, if there is no barbarian king, how can you know the heroes from all walks of life in Nanzhong." ”
