Middle.

Zhuge Liang has a thick pile of documents in front of him, and now Zhuge Liang is coordinating and managing the logistics supply of Liu Bei's Northern Expeditionary Army, but Zhuge Liang's personality is that he likes to do things personally, and there are many trivial things in this logistics support work, so Zhuge Liang is often busy until late at night. Fortunately, Zhuge Liang is only forty years old now, and he is in the prime of life, even if he works until late at night every day, he is still in good spirits on the second day.

Deng Zhi took three steps and made two steps to Zhuge Liang, and said, "Prime Minister, Chengdu is in a hurry." ”

Zhuge Liang pressed his temples and said, "But Jiangdong Sun Quan and Nanban Meng have raised troops?" ”

"The prime minister is really like a god. Lu Xun led an army of 100,000 to attack Yizhou, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already repelled Lu Xun in only ten days. Deng Zhi continued.

"Only ten days?" Zhuge asked strangely. The road to Shu is difficult, and if you walk for ten days, it is not enough to walk from Chengdu to Jiameng Pass.

Deng Ai nodded: "Prime Minister Ke Ji When the Prime Minister entered Shu, he once arranged a stone formation for dozens of miles near Wuxia, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince used a trick to lead Lu Xun's army into the stone formation, and Lu Xun couldn't come out for a few days, and he was almost trapped in the formation. But then he was led out of the stone henge......"

"It can't be! The formation is my research for many years, and there will be no more than five people in the world who can recognize this formation, and Lu Xun will definitely not know this formation! Zhuge Liang said this, his voice stopped suddenly, and said to himself: "Shi Yuan and I, one is in Hanzhong, the other is in Yongzhou, so there is only one person who can know this formation......"

Zhuge Liang raised his head suddenly: "Then Lu Xun led out of the formation, but my father-in-law Huang Chengyan?" ”

Deng Ai hesitated for a moment and nodded: "It was Mr. Huang who led Lu Xun out of the stone formation. ”

"Hmph......" Zhuge Liang snorted coldly. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with Huang Chengyan's move. Next to him, Deng Ai immediately diverted the topic. Then he said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince captured the Eastern Wu general Gan Ning in the stone formation, and then after Lu Xun withdrew from the stone formation. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pretended to be Gan Ning's own soldiers and horses to raid Yiling. Burn the grain and grass in the land of Soochow. Lu Xun had no food and had to withdraw his troops. ”

"How long ago was this?"

"It was nearly two months ago." Deng Zhi said.

Zhuge Liang's brows gradually relaxed: "It seems that Jiangdong is no longer a problem." What about Nanzhong? ”

"Nanzhong Yongchang Yong, Yue ~ = Gao Ding, Zhu, and the Wuxi barbarian king Shamoke rebelled together. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led the troops to quell the rebellion. I heard that it has been a big victory. Yong and Zhu Bao died. Gao Ding, Shamoko surrendered. Deng Zhi continued.

Zhuge Liang seemed to have expected it. Just nodded blandly. opened his mouth and said: "These people are just clowns jumping off the beam. Not a problem. However, the southern barbarian Meng was in the barbarian land. But it's a great calamity. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince surrendered the men and horses of Yong Gaoding and others to defeat the Southern Barbarian Meng Shu. It should have entered the hinterland of the barbarians by now. ”

Hearing Adou Nan's expedition to Meng, Zhuge Liang's brows gradually wrinkled: "The Southern Barbarians are a barren land, and the people of the Southern Barbarians are not convinced by the king, and they have repeatedly descended and returned. Now His Royal Highness the Prince's conquest of the Nanban is only to conquer the city, it is the next policy, and only to attack the heart, it is the Nanban to convince it, and it is the best policy. ”

"Prime Minister, General Ma Chao of Liangzhou urgently report!"

The voice came from outside, and Fang ran in in a hurry.

"What's the matter in Liangzhou?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"According to General Ma Chao's report, Liangzhou has found the figure of the clan army, and the clan and the Qiang king Cheriji are also ready to move, and it is likely to rebel!" Fang spoke.

"Get the map!" Zhuge Liang shouted, and Deng Zhi next to him hurriedly took the map and spread it out.

Zhuge Liang looked at the map for nearly half an hour, but did not speak. Waiting until Deng Zhi was standing next to him with a little sore legs, Ge Liang raised his head and sighed in a voice that could only be heard by himself: "It's just that the Qiang clan can still deal with Wangcao, don't lead the Hu people into Xiaoguan, if that's the case, Yongzhou is in danger, and my Han people are in danger......"

……

On the banks of the Xi'er River.

Adou watched as the newly built raft sank into the river, swinging in circles and microwaves.

Next to Zhang ~ looked at the Xi'er River in front of him in amazement, Zhang ~ had never seen it, the raft would sink in the river. In Zhang~, there are pieces of felled logs, which are used to make wood: to cross the river, but the raft sinks when it is put into the water, and it seems that these trees are cut in vain.

Adou waved his hand and said to Zhang~: "Okay, let's stop cutting down trees." ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, there is no wood:, then how should we cross the river?"

At this time, Adou had already remembered that when Zhuge Liang was on his southern expedition, he once encountered a river, and the raft would sink if it was put into the river, and Zhuge Liang's solution was to use bamboo to make a bamboo raft to cross the river. The embroidery is hollow, and the buoyancy is much greater than that of solid wood, and although the bamboo raft is not as solid as the raft, it is the most suitable for crossing the Xi'er River.

Thinking of this, Adou immediately said: "Send someone to look for it, there is bamboo around here." Let's try it out of embroidery to make a bamboo raft. ”

Soon after, an embroidery: placed in front of Adou.

Zhang ~ pushed the bamboo raft into the water, the bamboo raft did not sink, and then Zhang ~ jumped on the bamboo, the embroidery raft was still floating on the river, and then Zhang ~ recruited a few soldiers, and stood on the embroidery with Zhang ~ , embroidery: still float on the river.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this bamboo raft will not sink and can carry people."

"Order, immediately cut down the bamboo, make a bamboo raft to cross the river!"

……

Southwest of the barbarian hinterland

, called the Bald Dragon Cave, is one of the twenty-one caves in the Southern Barbarians. The King of Cave Thinking in the Bald Dragon Cave is Meng You's sworn brother. The strength of the Bald Dragon Cave in the 21st Cave of the Barbarians can only be regarded as below average, but the terrain of the place where the Bald Dragon Cave is located is very complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

There are two roads leading to the Bald Dragon Cave, one is the northeast continent, the terrain is flat, the soil is thick and the water is sweet, and it is feasible for people and horses. However, as long as the road is cut off with wood and stone, even hundreds of thousands of troops will not be able to pass. The road in the northwest direction is treacherous, the road is narrow, there are many poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, and every dusk, the smoke miasma will rise and dissipate at noon. What's more, there are four poisonous springs on this road.

The first of the four poisonous springs is called the dumb spring, and the spring water tastes sweet, but if a person drinks it, he can't find the antidote if he can't speak, and he will become dumb at least and die at worst; The second poisonous fountain is called the Extinguishing Spring, and if this extinguishing spring splashes on a person, it will corrode the person's skin and make the skin fester. The third poisonous spring is called the Black Spring, the water is clear, but it is highly toxic; The fourth poisonous spring is called Rouquan, and the water temperature is cold because if a person drinks it, his limbs will be weak, and if he is not rescued in time, he may paralyze him.

Now Meng Shu is hiding in this bald dragon cave, and the northeast avenue has also been blocked by King Duosi with stone and wood, leaving a dangerous road in the northwest for the Shu army to pass.

And Adou first chose to march on the northeast road where the road is relatively smooth.

"The road under the Prince's Palace is blocked by earth and stones, and our army can't pass through it at all." Pioneer Officer Wen Qin hurriedly ran to say.

"Lu Kai, is there any other way to go south?" Adou immediately asked Lu Kai.

"Back to the prince, there is still a road to the west, but the road is difficult, there are many poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, and every day before noon, after dusk, there will be miasma rising." Lu Kai replied immediately.

"Miasma?" Adou looked ahead and asked, "Which of the twenty-one holes is in front of this?" How strong is it? ”

Lu Kai immediately replied: "In front is the Bald Dragon Cave, and the cave master, King Duosi. The strength of this Bald Dragon Cave in the barbarian clan can only be regarded as below average. ”

"King Doth? This word is so familiar. "Adou knows the name King Si, and he must have heard of it. After a while, Dou remembered that Zhuge Liang's southern expedition to meet the dumb spring was on the territory of this Duosi king. Fortunately, Meng Jie, Meng Shu's eldest brother, came to help, helped the Shu army detoxify and helped the Shu army resist the miasma.

It seems that if you want to move forward, you can only find Meng Jie. Thinking of this, Adou immediately ordered the army to stop advancing, find a water source and set up camp, and at the same time sent people around to find Meng Jie's residence.

Meng Jie is Meng Huo's eldest brother, but he doesn't want to get caught in the struggle for power, so he lives in seclusion between the mountains and forests, and becomes a hermit.

couldn't find Meng Jie, which made Adou very depressed. It stands to reason that Meng Jie should be saved in this vicinity, when Zhuge Liang went south, he could find out where Meng Jie lived if he met a local person, but now it was his turn, and he couldn't find Meng Jie's whereabouts for several days.

Suddenly, Adou realized a problem, in history, Zhuge Liang's southern expedition was a few years later, and now the time is several years in advance, maybe Meng Jie has not moved here at this time.

This time, Adou really felt helpless. Adou's biggest guard of honor for Meng Zhu's southern expedition is to be familiar with history, and there is Zhuge Liang's script before, which is equivalent to opening a cheat, but now Adou suddenly found that this cheat is not working, and the script of Zhuge Liang's southern expedition before was suddenly tampered with here.

Late at night, Adou sat in the tent and began to think about what to do next.

Lu Kai pushed open the tent door, walked in, and came to Adou.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Hey! Have a seat. Adou sighed helplessly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is worried that he can't continue the march?" Lu Kai asked.

"Yes, what can you do about Lord Lu?"

Lu Kai shook his head: "The place where this King Duosi lives is the hinterland of the barbarians, and he doesn't like to contact us Han people on weekdays, nor do he like to trade with us Han people, so those of us who live in the barbarian land are not familiar with the people in the Bald Dragon Cave, and even the nearby geography is not very clear. ”

Adou nodded with some disappointment, but Lu Kai's voice changed, and then said: "Although I am not familiar with this Duosi King, Yang Feng, the cave master of the Yinye Cave in the twenty-first cave of the barbarians, is very familiar with me. ”

"Yang Feng?" Adou also recalled Yang Feng in his mind, and it was Yang Feng who captured King Duosi and Meng Shu to Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang broke the Bald Dragon Cave.

"What is the strength of this Yinye Cave?" Adou asked.

"Yinye Cave has the smallest number of people among the 21 caves in Nanban, only ranking last. However, Yang Feng, the owner of Yinye Cave, often trades with the Han people, and communicates with each other, and over the years, Yang Feng has purchased a total of 30,000 sets of iron armor from us. I heard that Yang Feng's 30,000 soldiers can fly over the mountains, and Yang Feng has five sons, each of whom is also good at fighting. Lu Kai explained.

Adou pondered for a moment and asked, "Master Lu, I want you to send an envoy to Yinye Cave to persuade Yang Feng to surrender." ”

……

Bald Dragon Cave.

"Doth, let's do it!" Meng Shu raised his glass and drank it all.

"The king is gracious." King Doth hurriedly drank the contents of the cup.

"Duosi, thanks to you this time, the Shu army does not dare to continue to advance." Meng Yule said.

"My lord, I'm actually ba

The army was able to go to the northwest and come over, so that just four poisonous springs and miasma on the road took the lives of countless Shu troops. King Doth said confidently.

At this moment, a barbarian soldier under the command of King Duosi came over and said, "Back to the King, Yang Feng, the master of Yinye Cave, led 30,000 horses to help in the battle!" ”

Hearing that Yang Feng led 30,000 people to help the battle, he happily threw down his wine glass and said, "Duosi, how about going out with me to greet you?" ”

Yang Feng's Yinye Cave has the smallest population, and it is also ranked last among the twenty-one caves of the barbarians, and it is the most unpopular on weekdays, and now it is somewhat reluctant to let King Duosi go to greet King Yang Fengsi. And when Yang Feng came to help in the war, he must live here with King Duosi, so the supply of food and grass for 30,000 people will also be borne by King Duosi, after all, when people come to help in the war, they can't even let people bring their own food. Therefore, King Duosi was very unhappy in his heart. However, Meng Huo spoke, and King Duosi could only smile and follow Meng Huo to greet Yang Feng.

At this time, King Duosi hated Meng Shu in his heart, if it wasn't for Meng Shu to hide here, how could this Yang Feng follow, and Yang Feng was only the first to come to help in the war, Nanban has twenty-one holes, although there are already nine holes that have defected and surrendered, and the Shu army is the remainder, even if only half of the people come to help in the war, people can't afford it. King Duosi couldn't help but start secretly calculating in his heart, how much food would be consumed after this fall to the ground.

……

Meng Yu invited Yang Fenghe's five sons in, and then held a feast again to catch Yang Feng's wind.

Meng Huo and King Duosi had already received a lot of wind for Yang Feng today, and after three rounds of drinking, Meng Huo and King Duosi were already a little drunk.

I saw Yang Feng get up and said to Meng Shu: "King, I have 30,000 elite soldiers under my command, all of whom are wearing iron armor, and my five sons are also capable of fighting well. How about I ask my soldiers to perform for the king today? ”

"Good! Put on a show! Meng Shu said with seven drunkenness.

Yang Feng beckoned, and after a while, dozens of leather armor warriors walked up, the warrior held a sword in his right hand and a shield in his left hand, seeing that he was performing in the middle.

"King, our brother toasts you!" Yang Feng's five sons stood up at the same time and came to Meng Shu with wine glasses.

"Good! Good! A few virtuous nephews, let's do it! Meng said, drinking the wine in the cup.

And at this moment, Yang Feng's five sons suddenly launched, rushed to Meng Shu's approach, drew their blades and put them on Meng Shu's neck, and at the same time, dozens of soldiers also suddenly rose up and rushed towards King Duo Si and others, Meng Huo and Duo Si and others were already drunk, and they didn't have much ability to resist at all, and the result was just a moment of effort, and the scene was controlled by Yang Feng.

"Yang Feng, what are you doing?" Meng Huo shouted loudly.

"What? Hahaha...... Meng Huo, you'll find out soon. ”

……

When Meng Shu saw Adou's familiar smile again, Meng Shu finally knew that Yang Feng had surrendered to the Shu army.

"Meng Huo, let's meet again." Adou said, personally untying Meng Huo.

This time, Meng Shu really felt a little speechless. Seeing Adou again, Meng Shu felt that the five-flavor bottle in his heart had been overturned, and his chest was sweet and sour, and it was tumbling at the same time, and he couldn't tell what it was like now.

"Meng Huo, are you going to leave or stay this time?" Adou asked directly.

"You're still going to let me go?"

"If you want to go, you can go at any time." Adou replied.

"Why is that? Why are you letting me go? Meng Shu asked.

"Meng Huo, you are a smart person, can't you guess it?" Adou asked rhetorically.

Without waiting for Meng to answer, Adou opened his mouth and said, "I want you to surrender!" I want you barbarians to surrender to me. Not a verbal surrender, but a sincere surrender. ”

Meng Shu lowered his head, thought for a moment, and then said calmly: "This is difficult. ”

"You're right, it's just hard, but that doesn't mean it can't be done."

Meng Shu was silent for a moment again, then raised his head sharply and said, "I admit that you are very powerful, the barbarian twenty-one holes, and now ten holes have been surrendered to you. But I am a barbarian king, if I don't surrender, the barbarians will not descend! ”

Adou sighed a little helplessly, Meng Huo was so tough as always, and comforted himself silently with Adou, Zhuge Liang was the seventh time that Meng Huo was willing to surrender, and now he only arrested Meng Huo four times, and Meng Huo should surrender if he catches Meng Huo three times.

Thinking of this, Adou waved his hand: "Let's go, next time we meet again, I hope you can make a new decision." ”

……

Meng Shu once again walked out of the Shu army camp like a lost dog.

"Brother, where are we going?" Meng You asked.

"Where are you going?" Meng Shu also hesitated. Yang Feng's betrayal dealt a great blow to Meng Shu, and at the same time, it also made Meng Shu soberly realize that the 21st hole of the barbarian race seems to be powerful, but in fact, the hearts of the people are not aligned, and everyone has their own ghosts. At this time, Meng Shu no longer dared to trust the cave masters under him, and Meng Huo was afraid that someone would betray him.

Is this what is called rebellion?

Now, Meng Huo can only rely on himself, thinking of this, Meng Huo said: "Let's go, let's go back to Yinkeng Village!" ”

I had too much rest on the weekend, and I was a little uncomfortable, and it was late, and I will be earlier tomorrow, and I asked for a monthly pass by the way.
