The autumn breeze was pleasant, blowing across the Chengdu Plain, Liu Bei walked on the city wall with his hands and patted the shoulders of the soldiers, checked the blades again, comforted a few words with good words, and Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng continued to move forward, looking at the people gathered outside the city, his deep gaze did not fluctuate much, he started from the yellow scarf, such a picture has been seen countless times, and then the people of Xinye and Dangyang fled with him, standing on the boat, watching countless people being chased by Cao Jun's iron cavalry and drowned, his heart has long been numb.

"Although the strong wall and Qingye worked, but it hurt the people of Shudi, we are the parents of the state, we must do something, and after the Gongsun Zhi retreats, the fields will be redistributed."

He looked at the sea of people outside the city and said, Fa Zheng followed behind, "The lord Xinde Xishu is doing this, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, people's hearts are not convinced, and in the future, Gongsun Zhi will go south again, I'm afraid that some people will hold a grudge and secretly collude with each other." ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and said with a smile, "What Xiaozhi said is very true, but the policy of strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness has caused a lot of trouble, among which the officials of Shu are also involved, Liang checked the case book before, many of these people are forced to marry and sell the annexed land, in order to harm the countryside, at this time, the army of the north is pressing, not thinking of resisting, but there is an incident in the rear, which has a great impact on the stability of the lord and Yizhou, and it should be ruled by law." ”

"Then the fields in their hands ......"

"Evenly distribute to the meritorious, so that Shu is peaceful."

The wind was blowing slowly, Zhuge Liang's words were calm, with a smile on his face, Liu Bei in front was silent and did not speak, after walking a section of the city wall, he shook his head lightly, and his footsteps stopped, "Kong Ming's words make sense, but the officials of Shu have demoted me Liu Bei, how can they take revenge for this matter, but if they are guilty, they will naturally be punished, and if there is an official, they will be demoted to one level, and if there is no official, they will atone for their sins with the field, and they will be exempted from the pain of prison." ”

He turned around and saw that Fa Zheng wanted to speak and stopped, and waved his hand at the other party, "I know what Xiaozhi wants to say, after all, some people are moved, and they will be anxious with me, but this is an extraordinary time, so it should be regarded as an extraordinary matter, and try to win over the Shu soldiers and officials who are standing on the side of Beibei, and the rest of the people will wait for Gongsun to stop retreating, and then have another way to appease them." ”

Fa Zheng glanced at Zhuge Liang and had to nod.

Over there, Liu Bei sighed, "... I don't know if the more than 70,000 people of the Southern Barbarian Meng Shu can delay Gongsun for a moment as the military advisor expected, Bei is really a little worried in his heart, the soldiers and horses under the command of the other party are the elite of the southern and northern wars, and although Meng Huo and others are extremely brave, but in the mountains, now on the plains, Bei is worried that they will not be able to hold out for even half a month. ”

"Lord, how can you decide a war with bravery, there is a lesson from the past of the overlord of Chu in ancient times, and now there is the fact that Lu Bu's soldiers were defeated by Pi, although the Gongsun stopped the soldiers and horses, he was also very brave, but then the army was mobilized in late autumn, once the war was stalemate, it would fall into the inconvenience of Tianli, which was one of them. Second, the long drive straight into, all the way to attack the city and pull out the village, the morale must be arrogant, and then defeat the southern barbarians, it will inevitably flourish to the extreme, the so-called one drum and then decline three and exhaustion, coupled with the unfamiliar with the topography of Shuzhong, it is difficult to effectively compete with the soldiers in Shu, it is inconvenient to be geographically advantageous. Zhuge Liang slowly bent his third finger and said softly, "...... The army of the north fell into two disadvantages, and the lord raised his arms when he arrived, and the resentment that the strong wall and Qingye brought to the people of Shuzhong was sprinkled on the other party's head, even if the other party still had a million troops, it was difficult to shake the status of the lord in Shuzhong, which was unfavorable to people. ”

Liu Bei listened solemnly, pressed his fists on the wall, and looked at the crowds of human heads and ragged figures below, "Kong Ming's words let Bei regain confidence......" He raised his hand and arched towards the other party, turned his gaze to the northwest, and pursed his lips.

"At this time, it should be a war over there, I hope that the southern barbarians can delay Gongsun for a month."

In his soft words, the direction he looked at was the vast autumn colors, and the mountains in the distance were already between the yellow and the green, showing the gloom of autumn, and on the fallen leaves, a pair of bare ankles ran over quickly, rolling up the silent leaves, and the barbarian warriors with tattoos on their upper bodies held stone axes and carried rattan shields all over the mountains and wilderness.

The cornet sounded in the forest from time to time, passing to the warriors of the tribe on the top of the mountain, contacting the direction of running, for the mountains in front of Mianzhu, these Ni people from the southwest mountains seemed to be at ease, without any formation, still kept the whole team did not drag behind.

The chieftain Meng Huo and his wife Zhu Rong were also in the team, listening to the reports of the scouts from time to time, and issuing some painless orders, they did not pay much attention to the way of the military formation, anyway, as long as they saw the enemy and did not coax the other party to death, of course, courage and killing skills were also necessary.

But those who dwell in the mountains never lack these.

"Dong Di hasn't come back yet?"

After descending the mountain, there is an endless plain, several rivers intertwined and flowing in front of them, when the soldiers and horses of the caves rested, Meng Shu counted the number of each department, but the second cave master did not come back at this time, carrying two iron rods, standing by the river and looking at the water surface that slowly flowed past, and the clattering sound of his fists.

"Was he caught by the Han general?" His face was hideous, and he had a golden ring and three knots around his cheeks and beard under his chin, and he put a big knife on the ground with a bang; Showing his yellowed teeth, "Just kill it first, if he doesn't come, this battle will be fought." ”

Ah Hui murmured that the corners of his mouth were crooked, and he sneered, "I think you want him to have soldiers and horses in the cave, and I want it too, why don't you see who killed more Han people?" There is a king here to testify, even if Dong Dana comes back, the soldiers and horses in his cave are also ours. ”

"Okay, I'll take your account."

As he spoke, the Ni people who went to explore the way in front had already returned, and they brought back a bloody head, Meng Shu held his head, naturally recognizing who it was, "Ah! He yelled, threw himself into the water with a pop, turned his head violently, and his loose hair spilled out, "Inform the King of Mulu, bring the cave master, the vultures, and the king of Duosi, and march with all your might, I will take Gongsun to stop the head——"

The sound of trumpets sounded along the riverbank.

The 70,000 barbarians did not think too much about it, nor did they take a conservative attitude, and they crossed the river in front of them, as if they had launched a charge, and swept forward, looking down from the sky, densely packed like ant colonies spreading forward, so that all the barbarian generals on horseback were full of confidence in this battle.

Soon after, the rushing front stopped, and Meng Huo rode to the front, and into his field of vision were countless colorful banners, brown hair, white skin, or black seeping figures, poorly dressed, standing opposite, looking at this side with feverish eyes.

"These are not Han ......"

When he was in Mianzhu Pass before, Meng Yu had heard Li Yan's warning, and also knew that there was an army from the West under the command of Gongsun Zhi, so he didn't pay too much attention to it at that time, but now that he saw it, the other party's appearance made him feel worried, after all, he had never seen a person with white eyes and teeth.

At this time, the trumpet of war was still blowing, and the strange army on the opposite side was still spreading from behind, left and right, and groups of soldiers wearing Gallic iron helmets and muscle cuirasses stood in front, and a centurion with a mane and iron helmet rode a horse and held a Han sword high, shouting in Chinese "Soldiers, array—"

One shield after another extended and fell down in the direction, bringing out a series of booms... Behind, the spearmen from the Salitians stepped forward, pressed down in unison, and countless forests and colds densely spread out to form a spear array. The stone-throwing stragglers squeezed between them, came to the front, and flicked their wrists.

On the other side, there were also such troops at this time, and the round shield smashed down to the ground, and the stout soldiers with heavy spears in their hands shouted hysterically, "Spartan-"

The allied forces of the Han ethnic groups took the lead in the war.
