Seeing that Li Yi asked about the situation of the Ugo country, Zhuge Liang explained: "There is a country seven hundred miles southeast of Sanjiang City, named Ugo country, the lord of the country has a vulture bone, a body is two feet long, does not eat grains, and feeds on snakes and evil beasts. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info body has scale armor, and knives and arrows cannot invade. There is a large army under his command, which is called the Fuji Armor Army. His army was nine feet short, and his face was ugly, and everyone who saw it was shocked. There is a first-class vine in the cave, born in the mountain stream, coiled on the stone wall, the Chinese people take, soaked in oil, half a year to take it to dry; Dried and re-soaked, more than ten times, but only worn into armor. The front chest and back are each used a piece, two arms are two, and five pieces of the big skirt are made, a total of one pair, worn on the body, crossing the river is not sinking, the water is not wet, it is very light, the sword can not enter, so it is called the rattan armor army. ”

The generals listened to Zhuge Liang's words and were immediately surprised.

"Invulnerable!"

"Isn't that a million troops coming and going freely, killing people at will, not afraid of being killed!"

"There are such soldiers and horses in the world!"

……

There are also doubts about it:

"It's not that mysterious, is it?"

"It must be fake!"

"The armor forged by the steel-making method invented by the emperor does not dare to be called invulnerable, how can a barbarian make an invulnerable armor?"

……

Li Yi saw that everyone was talking, so he stopped them and said: "What Kong Ming said is true, the rattan armor worn by the rattan armor army of the Ugo country is indeed invulnerable. ”

Seeing that Li Yi affirmed Zhuge Liang's words, the generals believed this fact, because they knew that their emperor never told lies. Since he said that this rattan armor saber is invulnerable, it is really invulnerable.

But in this way, everyone is worried, in the face of an invulnerable army, how can they defeat it?

Li Yi didn't expect Meng Shu to move the rattan armor soldiers at first, so he was taken aback. However, after a moment of surprise, he calmed down, and said disapprerovingly for everyone's worries: "You Aiqing don't need to worry, as the saying goes, the brine points tofu, and one thing drops one thing, although this rattan armor is invulnerable, it is made of oil, and it will die when it sees fire." But if you set up a fire attack plan, you will be able to win! ”

After listening to Li Yi's words, the generals' eyes lit up, and their hearts said that this is really the case, since the rattan armor is made of grass and rattan, and it has also been soaked in oil, it must be ignited when it meets fire.

Therefore, the generals bowed happily and sincerely: "The enemy soldiers have not arrived, but the emperor has not known that the prophet has thought of a plan to break the enemy, and we admire ......."

Li Yi was a little embarrassed, and said in his heart that the allusion of burning the rattan armor soldiers would be rotten in the future. However, at this time, he just didn't know about the people, so he came up with this method, and he came up with it before the enemy, that is, the prophet of the unknown.

After determining the strategy of breaking the enemy, Li Yi temporarily stood still and waited for Meng Shu to move in to rescue the troops.

…………

When Li Yi and the generals decided on a strategy to break the enemy, Meng Huo had already come to Ugo Cave.

The customs of this Ugo Cave are different from those of the Middle Three Places, and the Ugo people who live on the border of Ugo Cave never build houses. Specializing in making caves to live, they are no different from the legendary cave people, and they all look very vicious.

Meng Shu and King Mulu were taken into a huge underground palace by several Ugo Cave barbarians. If it weren't for a few campfires, I wouldn't really be able to see clearly. After getting used to the environment of the underground palace, I saw a person who was more than one foot and two feet tall and sat on a rattan chair. I think this person is a vulture bone.

After Meng Shu saw the vulture bone, after bowing twice, he told the vulture bone what had happened before with a sad face: "A certain is the third time Meng Shu, this is the third time the king of Mulu......"

After Meng Shu told the truth, he began to fabricate false news again: "Emperor Wude of the Tang Dynasty is very brutal, saying that we are not human, but barbarians, and swore to kill all of us natives. Although we resisted desperately, the force of Emperor Wude was really strong, and seeing that the ancestral city was not protected, Zhongsanban was about to fall. Please send troops to help us protect our ancestral city and our Nanban ......"

If you talk about personal friendship, there is no relationship between the vulture bone and Meng Yu, but when it comes to defending the ancestral city, the vulture bone, as a descendant of the Southern Barbarians, must send troops.

Especially when he heard that Li Yi was going to slaughter the Nanban and burn Sanjiang City, the vulture bones were even more furious.

The vulture was provoked by Meng Huo, and he was furious, got up and said, "Emperor Wude deceived me eight times and ninety-three dians, and no one called me? The master of this cave will take the soldiers and horses of this cave to take revenge on you and defend the ancestral city! ”

Meng Shu and King Mulu glanced at each other, and the matter was done.

Pressing the joy in his heart, Meng Shu got up and said: "With the help of the vulture bone cave master, why worry about the immortality of the Tang army!" ”

Since the vulture decided to send troops to help Meng Shu and King Mulu, he immediately summoned the two chiefs of Bendong, one named Tu'an and the other named Xi Ni, to lead 30,000 rattan armor soldiers, led by Meng Shu and King Mulu, and went to Sanjiang City in a mighty way. At the same time, he sent envoys to contact other surrounding Nanban tribes to jointly send troops against the Tang army.

The vulture bone and others led the army of vine armor and traveled to a river, which is called peach blossom water. There are peach trees on both sides of this peach blossom water, and the leaves have fallen in the water over the years.

The vultures went to the village of Taoye Ferry, waiting for reinforcements from other tribes and waiting for the Tang army.

………………

The news of the vulture bone's dispatch of troops soon spread to Li Yi's holy car: "Your Majesty, Meng was asked to lead 30,000 vine armor troops from the lord of Wugo, and now they are stationed at Taoye Ferry. That Meng Huo, King Duosi, King Mulu, and Vulture Bone are spreading rumors everywhere, deceiving the chiefs of the cave lords to defend Sanjiang City, and many tribes and natives have been invited to move in the middle and two times, and they have gathered in Sanjiang City! ”

Li Yi, who got the news, felt that things were getting tricky.

The Nanban in Yongchang County alone, that is, the so-called Nanban of Baban and Ninety-Three Dian, has as many as 1.5 million, and if you add the Shan State, Panyue State and other countries established by the Nanban people outside Yongchang County, the population must be even more, I am afraid it will exceed 5 million, of which there may be millions of troops.

If the army of these barbarians is allowed to gather in Sanjiang City, even if some tribes do not send troops, it is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands, even if the Tang army is strong, if it wants to pacify it, I am afraid it will have to experience a tragic battle.

Under such circumstances, if you win, the natives will inevitably suffer too many casualties, and if you lose, the plan to conquer the barbarians will immediately fail, and the lost national strength may not be recovered for several years.

No matter what the situation is, it is very unfavorable to Li Yi.

However, Li Yi did not want to give up this plan to completely integrate Yunnan and most of Southeast Asia into China, so he was in a dilemma.

Xu Maogong came out of the class and said: "The vine armor soldiers are invulnerable, and their status in the hearts of the barbarians is still above the beast drive of the Mulu King, I am afraid that because of this, many barbarians will come to Sanjiang City to help in the war." The emperor already has the help of the three barbarians, and when the thunder destroys the vine armor soldiers, he will definitely be able to deter the middle three barbarians and the next two barbarians. After catching Meng Huo and other thieves, and then order Meng Jie to come forward to integrate the eight times and ninety-three dians, the big thing will be done! ”

The current situation is already difficult to ride a tiger, and it can only be started.

And Li Yi also knows very well that if you want to really subdue these barbarians, you must beat them up so that they can completely surrender.

Li Yi also cleaned up his mood and cheered up and said: "The vine-breaking armor soldiers must be attacked by fire, and several military advisors have good strategies!" ”

Zhuge Liang came out of the class and said: "Start the emperor, you can move the camp to Peach Blossom Water!" ”

Li Yi was stunned for a moment and said: "I heard that there is peach leaf evil water in the peach blossom water, and the people of the Ugo country drink it to add spirit, and the people of other villagers will die when they drink it." We went there to meet the enemy, and if the barbarians were defeated, we crossed the river without rafts, and even went into the water to cross them. It's a big disadvantage for our army. ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan, and Zhizhu said in his hand: "Back to the emperor, the minister has gone out of the camp to check the geography of the mountains and rivers in the past few days, and found a valley in the precipitous place north of the peach blossom water and peach leaf ferry. This valley is shaped like a long snake and is called the Valley of the Coiled Snake. Both sides are cliffs and stone walls can not be climbed, there are no trees in the valley, only a big road runs through in the middle, straight to Sanjiang City, the valley is called Talangdian in front of it. ”

When Li Yi heard this, he understood Zhuge Liang's strategy. He sighed a little, and said in his heart that the inertia of this history is really strong, in another time and space, Zhuge Liang broke the rattan armor army in this snake valley, but he didn't expect that in this time and space, he couldn't change the general trend, Zhuge Liang still thought of burning the vine armor army in this snake valley.

However, in this way, his enmity with this southern barbarian will be great, which is not conducive to the subsequent subjugation action.

Sure enough, Zhuge Liang continued: "The minister found that the emperor's general cannon is very easy to use, and he can ambush it on the cliffs on both sides, and bury more fire oil, sulfur and other things in the valley, and then use hay to pretend to be a grain cart, and then lure the barbarians into the valley, and hold both ends of the valley, and he will definitely be able to break the vine armor!" ”

Li Yi asked rhetorically: "How can the enemy be easily fooled?" ”

Zhuge Liang had already made a bamboo in his chest, and said: "You can send Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, and Xing Daorong to defeat in a row, and abandon the camp all the way. Then Meng Huo and the others must think that their vine armor army is invincible, wouldn't they be in a hurry and go on a rampage? There were no trees in the valley of the snake, it was all gravel, and the enemy saw that there were no ambushes, so how could he not go into the valley? ”

"Can you really lure the vine armor soldiers into the valley?" Li Yi asked.

Zhuge Liang bowed and said: "The minister is willing to guarantee with his life!" ”

Li Yi nodded and said, "In this case, you can change it a little......

The plan has been decided, Li Yi ordered the troops to march until the Taoye Ferry, and saw that the barbarians were not human-like and very ugly; He also asked the local people to say that the peach leaves were falling on the same day, and the water was not drinkable. Li Yi ordered to retreat five miles to the village, and left Huang Zhong as the vanguard troops, and went up and down the village by the peach blossom water.
