Chapter 425
"Dong Dana knows that Shu Hou hates them to the core, but all this has nothing to do with them, it is all because Meng has won a great achievement, and he is not able to coerce them to confront Shu Hou, if they are bent on opposing Shu Hou, it is impossible to die so little and let your army take so many prisoners.
In addition, there are the clansmen of the Silver Moon Cave, this time they can grab the herbs, the warriors of the Silver Moon Cave have made a great contribution, in order to lead away Meng Shu, with the king killed a lot of the clansmen of the Silver Moon Cave, Dong Di brought back less than sixty percent, and asked Shu to wait for mercy. β
Dong Dana bowed deeply to Liu Zhang, on the way here, Dong Dana was very afraid that Liu Zhang was dead, then it would be difficult to recover, and the Sichuan army and the barbarian army could only face each other with swords and blood, even if Huang Yueying died, it would be the same consequence.
But it's just in time, Dong Di's heart is to save more clansmen, so that he can complete Meng Yao's will, if the clansmen are all dead, he can't explain to Meng Yao underground.
"Released the captives?" Liu Zhang pondered for a while, and said to Dong Dana: "General Dong Dana, Ben Hou is benevolent to the barbarian army, but the barbarian army has repeatedly betrayed, Ben Hou let go once, twice, three times, and the fourth time He actually resorted to such a vicious trick, if Ben Hou releases people again, will the people of the world think that Ben Hou is incompetent?" β
"But it was all Meng Huo's idea, and it had nothing to do with my king, nor did it have anything to do with those clansmen......"
"So." Liu Zhang interrupted Dong Dana's words: "Now that Meng Shu has completely controlled the barbarian army, this person is stubborn, and it is even more impossible for Benhou to release him." β
"Shu Hou." As soon as Dong Dana saw this, he wanted to kneel down for Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang immediately got up from his seat and stepped forward to help Dong Dana: "General Dong Dana, it's not that Benhou is unreasonable." General Dong Dana came to offer medicinal herbs. Ben Hou will never turn his face and deny people. It's just that General Dong Dana should know that if Ben Hou puts these barbarians back, they will also be driven by Meng Shu, and they will still come to attack our Sichuan army.
Meng was stubborn, Ben Hou no longer expected him to surrender, and all that was left was a hard attack, all, all the barbarians had only two choices. Die or surrender. β
"Shu Hou wants to take them all in?" Dong Dana exclaimed, from Liu Zhang's tone, Dong Dana already knew that Liu Zhang would not kill, and the only option left was to co-opt.
"How is it possible, if they are all co-opted, what will happen to the parents, wives and children left in the hometown of the barbarians? Isn't that tantamount to killing them? Ben Hou believed that most of the barbarians did not want to confront our Sichuan army, and would not be so ruthless. β
Liu Zhang said to Dong Dana: "Ben Hou asked the general a question, is the general willing to serve in the Sichuan army?" β
"Huh?" Dong Dana frowned and looked at Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang said with a smile: "General Dong Dana, don't misunderstand, Benhou is not coercive. Whether it will be effective or not is up to the general to decide. If you join the Sichuan army, I will make you the general of Zhengnan, but please note that the general is an effect, not a subordination. β
Dong Dana pondered for a while, and said to Liu Zhang: "Shu Hou forgives ...... sin"
"Alright." Liu Zhang didn't let Dong Dana continue: "In this case, I will temporarily hand over these barbarians to your commander, and after pacifying Southern Xinjiang, it is up to them to decide whether they want to return to their hometown or stay in the army, but before pacifying Southern Xinjiang, please ask the general to restrain them for me." β
"Yes." Dong Dana bowed to Liu Zhang, if he was Liu Zhang, it would be impossible to release people again, and the result was good.
At this moment, Huang Zhong Gao Pei and other Sichuan army generals stepped in, Gao Pei bowed to Liu Zhang, and said proudly: "Lord, the barbarian victory is a great victory, the last general will go out to fight the barbarian army this time, chase out 300 miles, capture 10,000 barbarian troops, and kill 3,000 enemies." β
Huang Zhong arched his hand and said: "The last general chased out 350 miles, captured 15,000 barbarians, and killed 5,000 enemies. β
"You'll die if you remove the odds." Gao Pei glanced at Huang Zhong dissatisfied.
Several generals reported their exploits.
Liu Zhang laughed and said: "The generals have made outstanding achievements, in this battle, Meng Huo's army has lost more than half of its strength, and it is difficult to become a climate, the whole army is ready to fight a decisive battle with the barbarian army, Meng Huo, I only need the corpse." β
"Yes." The generals said yes.
Dong Di's expression twisted, Liu Zhang had already killed Meng Shu, but Dong Dana had nothing to say, and said to Liu Zhang: "Shu Hou, Meng Shu's crime is unforgivable, but if it weren't for the lack of fighting spirit of our southern army, it would not be possible to be captured so easily, and I ask Shu Hou to forgive them." β
"Except for those who are willing to join the Sichuan army, they will all be handed over to you for temporary command."
"Thank you."
"My lord." Gao Pei said: "My subordinates also caught a few barbarian leaders, and one of them was a woman, Zhu Rong, the young lord of the oblique thorn hole. "Zhu Rong has excellent martial arts, has a prominent reputation in the barbarian army, and has challenged Huang Zhong, and the generals of the Sichuan army know it.
Dong Di's heart suddenly changed, but he didn't expect Zhu Rong to be arrested.
"Bring it on."
Gao Pei waved his hand, and a team of sergeants brought up Zhu Rong, who was tied up with five flowers.
"This female barbarian is really powerful, injured several of my soldiers, fortunately the cave is narrow, surrounded her, and then she was arrested, and the subordinates heard that this female barbarian is Meng Huo's fiancΓ©e, Meng Huo likes it tightly, we can use her to blackmail Meng Huo, and protect Meng Huo's hand to capture."
"Shu can't." Dong Dana stopped loudly, glanced at Zhu Rong, and said to Liu Zhang: "It is true that Zhu Rong is Meng Huo's fiancΓ©e, and it is not false that Meng Huo loves him, but if Shu Hou uses this method to capture Meng Huo, how can he convince the southerners, and Zhu Rong's girl is strong by nature, so I am afraid that she will have the idea of suicide." β
Zhu Rong was tied up, and she didn't say a word, without any expression at all, as if the matter discussed had nothing to do with her.
Liu Zhang walked down the steps and looked at Zhu Rong: "You look okay, no wonder Meng Huo likes it, let it go, you go back to help Meng Huo, don't let it go, you are Meng Huo's fiancΓ©e, it is definitely impossible to obey Dong Xuana's orders, cause trouble in vain, how to deal with you?" β
"Kill it directly."
Zhu Rong said in a cold voice, his face was like a layer of white mist, and all thoughts were lost, Liu Zhang looked at Zhu Rong's expression, frowned, and asked Gao Pei: "Did you really take a lot of effort to catch her?" β
Gao Pei looked left and right, lowered his head and said, "Okay, she was in the cave at the time, we rushed in, and a few people tied her up, and it didn't take any effort." β
"Miss Zhurong, what's wrong with you?" Dong Dana asked Zhu Rong: "Did something happen?" β
"Nothing, Dong Dana, you tell Liu Zhang to kill me."
"Shu Hou." Dong Dana said to Liu Zhang: "Shu Hou must not kill Miss Zhurong." Even if you don't remember that she is Meng Shu's fiancΓ©e. I also have to remember that Zhu Rong is the young lord of the oblique thorn hole. The Diagonal Thorn Cave is the second largest tribe in the Southern Wilderness, and if Zhu Rong dies, the Hammer King will not give up. β
Dong Dana assured Liu Zhang: "Shu Hou rest assured, Shu Hou will hand over Miss Zhurong to the next, and she will definitely take care of her." β
"Forget it." Liu Zhang waved his hand: "Miss Zhurong originally followed Benhou Chengdu to quell the rebellion, and she also made great contributions, but she didn't resist and was captured this time, and she was not really captured." Let's take it down and look at it first. β
"Yes."
Two sergeants came in and took Zhu Rong, who was numb, away.
After dispersing the military discussion, Liu Zhang looked at the sergeants patrolling back and forth outside the tent, sighed and said to him: "It's so powerful, the Silver Moon Cave had a big mistake first, and then the warriors of the Silver Moon Cave surrendered with Dong Dana to take the medicine, and it can be regarded as making up for it, you are from the Silver Moon Cave, and the matter of the Silver Moon Cave will be handed over to you, how to deal with it." I'm okay with that. β
Liu Zhang returned to the tent, and Huang Yueying had woken up. Chatting with Xiao Furong.
"Strategist, you don't know, he was in a hurry at that time, his hair was not combed, and he ran out barefoot, ridiculous, the whole army saw it, you can hear it when you go out and pick up a corner, hehehe." Xiao Furong poured water for Huang Yueying, and the flowers and branches trembled with laughter.
Huang Yueying's dry lips smiled lightly: "What about General Zhou Tai?" When she woke up last night, Huang Yueying saw Zhou Tai, but it was inconvenient to speak.
"Since the doctor said that you are fine, you have left, alas, this time the barbarian army suddenly attacked, and all the departments have won a lot, only Zhou Tai, not an inch of success."
"Blame yourself."
"Hehehe, the military advisor has no conscience."
The two girls were laughing, Liu Zhang walked in, saw Huang Yueying, remembered his own words last night, his face was a little embarrassed, Huang Yueying looked as usual, took the cup handed by Xiao Furong and took a sip, and said to Liu Zhang: "Lord, how is the military affairs?" β
"Everything is fine, the barbarian army has been defeated this time, there is less than half of the troops left, our army has won a complete victory, I handed over the barbarians to Dong Dana to lead, and the Silver Moon Cave was handed over to the powerful."
"I'll just say that without me, the lord can handle it very well." Huang Yueying laughed.
Huang Yueying smiled like this, which made Liu Zhang a little embarrassed, but fortunately, Xiao Furong pushed a chair and sat on it to get better.
"also captured Meng Huo's fiancΓ©e Zhu Rong."
"Zhurong?" Huang Yueying pondered: "This person has to make good use of it." β
"You also approve of using her to blackmail Meng Shu?"
"Of course not, it is the heart of the oblique thorn hole, Zhu Rong's prestige in the oblique thorn hole is no less than Meng Shu's prestige in the silver pit hole, if you can tame this female barbarian leader, the oblique thorn hole will be calmed, the oblique thorn hole will be pacified, even if a third of the southern wilderness is pacified, the lord should consider it carefully."
"I've already thought of this, Yueying, you better have a good rest, don't think about these troubles."
"Yes, okay."
Huang Yueying agreed, holding the cup and drinking a little bit, Liu Zhang asked Huang Yueying not to talk about the military situation, but she didn't know what to say, so she just sat on the chair and didn't move, Xiao Furong and the two glanced at each other, stood up and said to Liu Zhang: "Husband, Rong'er is also going to the Wuxi Army to have a look, so let's go first." β
"Rong'er."
"Ma'am."
Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying each shouted, Xiao Furong still walked out with the white jade sword, and only Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying were left in the tent, Huang Yueying continued to drink the water in the cup, but judging from the angle, Liu Zhang knew that she didn't drink water at all.
"Yueying, what you said last night...... Do you promise? Liu Zhang pondered for a long time and asked.
Huang Yueying drank water while staring at the yellow quilt embroidery pattern, "What's the matter, I didn't hear anything last night." β
"Do you want me to say it again?"
"Don't, I...... No, I didn't. β
Liu Zhang's face darkened: "I thought you would agree." After a long time, Huang Yueying didn't speak, and Liu Zhang added: "It turns out that what you said before was false." β
"I've told a lot of people that I want them to marry, but you're a fool."
"Do you have someone you like? Zhou Tai? β
"That's also a fool, I'll introduce a good woman to him another day, I think that female barbarian head Zhurong is good."
"That's Zhuge Liang?"
Huang Yueying drank water, was silent, and nodded after a long time: "Sort of, I still have a marriage contract with him." β
"Huh." Liu Zhang smiled and stood up: "Okay, Yueying has a good rest." I'll take care of some military affairs first. Liu Zhang stood up. The chair is driven. There was a screeching sound of the legs rubbing against the ground.
Liu Zhang walked out of the tent, and Xiao Furong was at the door.
"What, it didn't go well?"
"Alas, forget it, don't force it."
In the tent, Huang Yueying held the cup tightly with both hands, thinking about her heart, just like she said to Cui Zhouping at the beginning. I may not love Zhuge Liang so deeply, I thought that I could only be a housewife for the rest of my life.
When you meet a man like Zhuge Liang, who is handsome, elegant, wise, and has a common language with himself, and really likes himself, what else can he find fault with?
But now, can you still decide on marriage so freely? said that he liked Zhuge Liang was just a cover-up. Huang Yueying didn't want to say too many of these things to Liu Zhang.
Huang Yueying touched her lips, "Without people's permission." took away someone's first kiss, do you think people don't know? Huang Yueying drank all the water in the cup in one gulp, thinking hatefully.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Liu Zhang came to the camp where Zhu Rong was held, and now, Liu Zhang's expression was the same as Zhu Rong's.
Zhu Rong was tied to the pillar in a sitting position, and when Liu Zhang walked in, Zhu Rong still looked numb and his eyes were dull, but when Liu Zhang didn't say anything, sat next to her, and sighed, Zhu Rong's eyes moved, and he turned his head and glanced at Liu Zhang strangely.
"What, out of love?"
"Yes."
"It's okay, so am I."
Liu Zhang looked at Zhu Rong, "I heard from your clansmen that Meng Shu is indeed not worthy of your reliance." β
"So what?"
"It's nothing, you're better than me, you're rejecting others, I'm being rejected."
"Joke, you are Shu Hou, who dares to refuse you?"
"Then will you marry me?"
"You're sick in the head."
"You're the second to reject me."
Zhu Rong looked at Liu Zhang, "Won't you just discuss this matter with me when you come in?" "It is estimated that he met a person who is sympathetic, and Zhu Rong can have a stable conversation.
"Two purposes, one is to discuss whether you will return or not."
"Believe it or not, anyway, if you let me go, I won't fight with the Sichuan army, but I may not be able to persuade my father and younger brother."
"I want the whole oblique thorn cave to surrender."
"I can't."
"Forget it."
"What about your second purpose?"
"Find some superiority in you, hahahaha." Liu Zhang laughed, as if he was very happy: "The image of the person you like in your heart is completely destroyed in your heart, and I don't like that in my heart, so I'm much better than you, hahaha." β
"You ......" Zhu Rong was furious, twisted a few times without twisting, "Phew", a mouthful of saliva spit towards Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang was defenseless, and spit into his neck, Liu Zhang showed a disgusting look, touched Zhu Rong's body, found a handkerchief, and in Zhu Rong's angry gaze, stretched into his neck and rubbed it all the way to the armpit.
Zhu Rong's chest rose and fell violently, and if he could move now, he would immediately give Liu Zhang a few slaps.
"I didn't expect you to use this thing, I thought that a female man like you usually lifted the hem of her clothes to wipe her sweat."
"You ......"
"Give it back to you." Liu Zhang handed back the handkerchief.
"Take it and burn it."
"Alright." Liu Zhang stood up and said to Zhu Rong: "After chatting with you for a while, Ben Hou is physically and mentally comfortable, you are the hero of the original counterinsurgency, and I believe that you are true to your word, since you said that you will not help Meng Shu again...... Wait a minute. β
Liu Zhang suddenly felt uneasy, and asked Zhu Rong: "Miss Zhu Rong, I don't need you to threaten the Hammer King, just let you go, even if you can't persuade the Hammer King and bring the cave master, you yourself will no longer be the enemy of my Sichuan army, right?" β
"Who are you and I Zhurong?"
"What if you break your promise?"
"You ......" Zhu Rong couldn't wait to kick Liu Zhang away, so he came in for a while, first using Meng Shu's matter to reveal the deep scars in his heart, and then looking for a sense of superiority in himself, and rubbing his dirty parts with a handkerchief with his own body fragrance.
has been angry with herself repeatedly, and now she actually doubts her own cigna, you know, as a female man, what Zhu Rong hates the most is that someone doubts her faithfulness, and she is also a person who regards Cigna as her life.
"Liu Zhang, you listen to me, if you let me go, I will never be an enemy of the Sichuan army again, if you break your promise, whatever you do, Zhu Rong didn't have a word of complaint, but."
Zhu Rong said angrily: "If you defeat Meng Huo, please let my father and the people of the Diagonal Thorn Cave live, they don't want to follow Meng Huo." β
"Good. Deal. β
Liu Zhang just walked out of the tent. A soldier came to report: "Report to the lord." Meng got an army of 40,000 and joined the king of the Southern Barbarian Bald Dragon Cave, and now retreated into the Bald Dragon Cave, defending the danger. β
"Bald Dragon Cave?" Liu Zhang groaned, according to Du Weidi's map, the location of this cave is extremely dangerous, the swamps and jungles are dense along the way, only one plank road is connected, and the barbarians retreat into the vulture cave. It's really hard to start.
"Immediately convene the generals to discuss and conquer the Bald Dragon Cave."
"Yes."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The people of the Silver Moon Cave have all been released, and although the broken arm of Zhuoma Rayi was finally rescued, he still passed the position of the cave master to the bird, so he came to the outside of the Silver Moon Cave to make the final disposition.
"Yangong Cave Master, please remember your promise, return to the Sichuan Army, accept the lord's grace, and don't have the thought of betrayal in the future."
It's so powerful that he said to the finch. The finch was wearing the cave master's white velvet coat, and her fingers were twisting a pom-pom on her clothes. I just lowered my head and looked at the tip of my shoe.
"Okay, the Yangong Cave Master takes his leave."
So powerful turned to leave, Bao'er followed, and Que'er suddenly ran up and handed a purse to Haoli, "Brother Chasi, take it, okay?" β
The finch looked so powerful, and her eyes were shining.
"You've never liked me, so why bother."
After saying it lightly, he took Bao'er's hand and left, and the finch stayed in the air, maybe before, he really didn't have a heart for it, and he didn't have it until the day of his glorious return, and it has always been wishful thinking.
But in those seven days, it was so powerful, the finch felt it completely, how many times in a trance, the finch felt that it was good to be able to live with the good for a lifetime, until the Black Dragon Festival, until the danger was about to befall the good man, he finally didn't hold back, and under the gaze of the clansmen, he handed the purse to the good man.
At that moment, I was sincere.
However, seeing that she was so powerful and walked away with Bao'er, she knew that it was too late.
β¦β¦
Bald Dragon Cave, Meng Huo and the Bald Dragon Cave Cave Lord Duo Si King, younger brother Meng Yao, Zhu Bao, the son of the Qihao clan, and the big and small barbarian chiefs drank and feasted.
Meng Shu asked, "Brother Duosi, can you really plan everything here?" β
"That's right." Meng You was also worried: "Those Sichuan troops are far away with spears and sharp bows, and they are desperately chasing, and they are so powerful that if they are killed here, they may not be able to defeat them." β
King Duosi had a thick face, as if swollen, and his whole face was burgundy, like a big carrot. It is this big carrot, known as the first wise man among the barbarians.
King Duosi laughed and said, "The king is relieved. If the Shu soldiers arrived, he would not be able to return to his hometown alone, and Zhuge Liang would die here! β
Zhu Bao was puzzled: "The cave master has such a proud word, which is admirable and admirable, but I don't know why?" β
Meng Huo, Meng You and others also looked at King Duosi nervously, and King Duosi said confidently: "There are only two roads leading to the Bald Dragon Cave from the outside world: the northeast road, which is the road where the king came, the plank road is erected at a dangerous place, the terrain is flat, the soil is thick and the water is sweet, and it is feasible for people and horses.
However, if the hole is broken with wood and stone, even if the Sichuan army has millions of people, it will not be able to enter.
There is a road in the northwest, the mountains are treacherous, and the road is narrow and narrow; Although there are paths among them, there are many poisonous snakes and scorpions; At dusk, the smoke miasma rises until it is already closed at noon, but it can be exchanged at three o'clock, Shen and You; Water is not drinkable, and it is difficult for people and horses to walk.
There are also four poisonous springs here:
A dumb spring, whose water is quite sweet, if a man drinks it, he cannot speak, but he will die in ten days;
The second is to extinguish the spring, this water is no different from the soup, if a person bathes, the skin and flesh are rotten, and the bones will die;
The three are called black springs, the water is slightly clear, if people splash on their bodies, their hands and feet are black and die;
Fourth, the soft spring, its water is like ice, if a person drinks it, there is no heating in the throat, and the body is weak like cotton and dies.
There are no insects and birds here, only the general Han Fubo has arrived; Since then, no one has been here.
Now the base is cut off the northeast road, so that the king is stable in the cave, if the Shu soldiers see the east road cut off, they will enter from the west road; There is no water on the road, if you see these four springs, you will definitely drink water, although millions of people, there is no return. What a sword! β
After King Duosi finished speaking, he laughed, Meng was overjoyed, and patted his forehead with his hand and said: "Since the first battle of Jianning, because of the different wills of our people, we have been defeated many times and collapsed for thousands of miles, and today there is a place to stay!" β
Meng You said: "Big brother, how about it, what the younger brother said is right." King Duosi is the first wise man in my Southern Wilderness. What Huang Yue Ying French is correct. In comparison, it is like the light of fireflies competing with the bright moon. β
King Duosi stroked his beard, revealing a deep color.
"That's nature." Meng Shu pointed in the direction of the sinister West Road, and said hatefully: "Ren Liu Zhang is treacherous, Huang Yueying is clever, and it is difficult to fly!" The water of the four springs is enough to repay the hatred of the defeated soldiers! β
"Duo Sibi and the king work together to break the Sichuan army. The Sichuan army will be defeated, dry. King Doth raised his glass in arrogance.
"."
"."
Meng Huo and the barbarians drank together.
Since then, Meng Huo, Meng You and King Duosi have feasted in the Bald Dragon Cave all day long.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Liu Zhang led the army to march towards the Bald Dragon Cave, and when he was on the way, he suddenly whistled and reported to Ma Fei: "Meng Shu and King Duosi have 60,000 troops, retreat to the Bald Dragon Cave, and the entrance of the cave will be cut off, and there are soldiers guarding it; The mountains are vicious and the mountains are steep, and you can't move forward. β
Liu Zhang had already asked people to simulate Du Wei's map into blocks, and then took out the map of the Bald Dragon Cave. I saw that there was only one road leading to the Bald Dragon Cave, and the rest were treacherous and steep. It is difficult to cross.
"Meng Huo, this is going to sit back and wait for our army to retreat from the lack of food and grass." Huang Zhongdao.
"Call a native to ask, I don't believe there is no other way here." Liu Zhang said.
The barbarian soldiers soon invited a local native, Liu Zhang did not kill the barbarians, along the way to the cave, the autumn did not commit any crimes, and this war was because the barbarian leaders did not accept the favor of the government, many natives had a good impression of the Sichuan army, the natives pointed out a road in the northwest, Liu Zhang asked the barbarians to guide the way, Gao Pei was the vanguard, opened the road in the mountains, built a bridge in the water, and marched to the northwest.
Gao Pei was about to lead the elite barbarian army directly under the Sichuan army to open the way, Liu Zhang suddenly frowned, vaguely remembering that when Zhuge Liang conquered the Bald Dragon Cave, he experienced a lot of twists and turns, as if he was poisonous, worshipped and invited masters.
King Duosi has lived in the Bald Dragon Cave for generations, will he not know that there is a road in the northwest? But only one in the Northeast was sealed?
It doesn't make sense.
Liu Zhang sent more than a dozen barbarian doctors to follow the vanguard troops, and the spring and river water they crossed must be tested for poison before drinking.
Within a day, a pioneer soldier came to report: "My lord, the military doctor at the front found that the poisonous springs, the water in the streams and pools were all poisonous, and they tried to drink it with horses, but the horses could not sing, and they jumped like thunder, and they broke off one after another." β
Liu Zhang frowned, sure enough, there was something strange here, and he took his own soldiers to the spring to inspect it in person, only to see that the pool was bottomless, and the water was dignified, as if it was a monster under the water.
Liu Zhang glanced at the endless jungle in front of him, with four walls and peaks, and the birds did not smell it, frowning.
"My lord." Huang Zhong said: "The mountains here are treacherous, even if there is no poisonous water and poisonous spring, it is difficult to pass, and the front is shrouded in clouds and mist, gray-red, there must be miasma rampant, it is really difficult to pass, it is better to withdraw the army and camp first, and wait until the autumn, the miasma in winter is reduced, and it should be easier to pass." β
"That's just a miasma, the poison of this spring water, it shouldn't disappear as the temperature drops, and it will still face the same difficulties when the time comes, and autumn is the barbarian hunting season, although Meng Yao has a strong appeal, the barbarian leaders are dissatisfied with Enzheng and have raised troops, but there are still many barbarians who stay at home for hunting.
If we wait until winter, those barbarians will inevitably participate in the war, Meng Huo's strength will be stronger, we have gone deep into the hinterland of the Southern Wilderness, the supply of grain and grass is a big problem, if it continues to be consumed like this, the consumption of grain and grass will be very huge, and it must be attacked. β
"Report." Suddenly, a soldier came and reported, "There is an ancient temple on the hill ahead. β
Without drinking water, you can't advance, Liu Zhang can't think of any other way now, so he ordered the army to rest for a while, took his own soldiers to the ancient temple, climbed vines all the way, and finally went up to the hill.
This is a temple, made of stone, in the temple a general sits upright, there is a stone tablet next to it, it is the temple of the Han Fubo general Ma Yuan: because the barbarians came here, the native people set up a temple to worship it.
Liu Zhang made a few gestures to the statue of Ma Yuan, expressing his respect for the general, Ma Yuan is indeed a hero of the Han Dynasty, and has fought countless battles in the south and the north, and the Qiang, the Southern Barbarians, and the Mountains and Yue are all shocked.
When Ma Yuan fought in Sanjiang City, did he have to be trapped here? At the beginning, Zhuge Liang was looking at the statue of Ma Yuan, and then there was a mountain god who came with a cane, and he didn't see it now, it seems that he didn't have Zhuge Liang's character, and the mountain god didn't come out.
At this moment, Xiao Furong said "Huh", "Husband, what do you think this is?" It doesn't seem to be an old antiquity, like someone deliberately put it here. β
Liu Zhang followed Xiao Furong's eyes, and saw a sheepskin stuffed into the gap under the buttocks of Ma Yuan's statue, although it was covered with ash. But it's obviously shallower than the surrounding objects. It should be left out for a short time.
Ordered the sergeant to take it out and read:
"Du Wei, the man of the wilderness. Worship Shu Hou Liu Huang Shu, I heard that Shu Hou went deep into the wilderness, hundreds of barbarian troops, but rarely killed, the cave village, the autumn did not commit any crimes, the barbarian people, the prime minister survived. They are all grateful, and they are also very grateful.
Knowing that King Duosi would help Meng Huo, Du Wei expected that Duosi would cut off the northeast road and leave the northwest road to trap Shu Hou, and Shu Hou would also fall into the miasma of poisonous springs, and it would be difficult to get rid of it.
Shu Hou is now in the temple of General Fubo, and the regional spring water is the water of the dumb spring, and it is difficult to drink it, and he dies in a few days.
After this spring, there are three springs in succession: one spring in the southeast. Its water is cold, and a man drinks water. There is no heating in the throat, and the body is weak and dies, which is called Rouquan;
There is a spring in the south, if a person splashes it in the body, his hands and feet are black and die, the name is called the black spring;
There is a spring in the southwest, boiling like a hot soup, if people take a bath in it, the skin and flesh are all taken off and die, the name is extinguished spring.
There are these four springs in our place, the poisonous gas gathers, there is no medicine to cure, and the smoke miasma is very good, but Wei, Shen, and You can come and go for three hours; The rest of the hours are full of miasma, and you will die if you touch it.
If you want to pass by from here, you will break the miasma of the four springs, go to the west for a few miles, there is a valley, enter the inner line for twenty miles, there is a stream called Wan'an Creek. There is a spring behind Wan'an Creek, named Anle Spring. If a person is poisoned, drink his water and heal it.
Some people or scabies, or feel miasma, bathing in Wan'an Creek, naturally nothing to do, and there is a first-class grass in front of the nunnery, the name is called shallot leaf rue. If a person has a leaf in his mouth, the miasma will not be stained. The prime minister can go quickly. β
When Liu Zhang saw the letter, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, Zhuge Liang was blessed by God, and he also had nobles to help, suddenly Liu Zhang was stunned, could it be that the mountain god that Zhuge Liang met was Du Wei's trickery?
Liu Zhang led a group of soldiers to go to Anle Spring to get water.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Thirty miles west of Anle Spring, one of the 21 caves of Yinye Cave in the west of the Black Wind Cave, the cave owner Yang Feng is drinking and feasting with a scholar.
Yang Feng is in his twenties and is handsome, but compared with the scholars who are drinking and feasting opposite, he has a little more fortitude.
"The sword is in the sheath, and the bow is reclined.
The country is broken, and the traitors enter the sky.
Thousands of miles of cars and books are all mixed, how can there be other frontiers in Han land?
Draw the sword and open the bow to show the arrogance, and the iron horse building ship went down to Jiangdong.
Raise millions of troops on the West Lake, the first peak of Wushan Mountain. β
The scholar chanted a poem and said to Yang Feng: "Cave Master, what do you think of this poem?" β
Yang Feng held the wine glass in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Other Yang Feng can't feel it, and he is heroic." β
"This is the poem made by the lord of Jingyi, the uncle of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the general Shu Hou Liu Zhang, in front of the Jiangdong envoy Lu Su, as soon as this poem came out, the Jiangdong rats tied their hands, Liu Zhang fought one after another, and did not dare to move a soldier, like a backwater."
"From the poem alone, I saw Liu Zhang's chilling killing intent, his ambition to rush to Douyu, and the Central Plains was burning the plains, and there were indeed many heroes, alas." Yang Feng sighed heavily: "It's a pity that we were born in the wilderness and didn't get a glimpse of the heroes of the Central Plains." β
"yes." The scholar said: "My Meng family and your Yang family, back then, were not allowed to be in the Han area, and the family moved into the Southern Wilderness, it has been more than 100 years, although some forces have also been established, but after all, they are not in the land of the Han Dynasty, and they hate to be from the Southern Wilderness, and they don't see Han Mingyue." β
"Hate for the Southern Wilderness, don't see Han Mingyue." Yang Feng groaned, became more and more sad, and smiled for a long time: "It's a clichΓ©, don't mention this, it seems that it is impossible for you and me to enter the Han District again in this life, this time Ling Zun led the army to fight against Liu Zhang, why didn't Brother Tai follow and kill the enemy, if this time he made meritorious service, and Brother Tai was the eldest son of King Meng Yao, he was the master of the Japanese silver pit and belonged to Brother Tai." β
The scholar is Meng Yao's eldest son, Meng Jie, Meng Jie's brother, Meng Jie and Meng Huo Meng You are different from a savage, Meng Jie is more like a scholar with a polite temperament, and his personality is the same.
Meng Jie didn't like war since he was a child, especially the war against the Han, admired Han culture, when Meng Huo and Meng You were both learning martial arts, Meng Jie was studying the Han classics, and now he is a master in Yinkengdong, teaching Yinkengdong children Han culture.
Yang Feng is the lord of a huge force in Nanban, commanding the 21 caves of the Yinye Cave in the west of the country, with more than 30,000 troops, and the martial arts are strong.
However, although Yang Feng fought countless battles in his life and destroyed many large and small caves and barbarian villages, he himself, like Meng Jie, longed for the Han family and did not like to fight with the Han people, so this time Meng Yao sent troops, and Yang Feng did not send anyone to him.
Meng Jie is peace-loving, Yang Feng is fierce, and his personality is diametrically opposite, but in his attitude towards the Han family. The two are on the same page. So they became good friends. Talk about everything.
"Brother Yang, don't make fun of Meng Jie." Meng Jie smiled bitterly: "Before my father set out on the expedition, I asked him to turn his war into a jade silk, not to fight with Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang's benevolence, who doesn't know that it may weaken the power of the big and small leaders, but our Meng family is Han, if the barbarians can slowly integrate into the Han family under Liu Zhang's benevolence." Shouldn't we be glad to hear it?
But my father and the second brother and the third brother, in order to take care of the hearts of the other barbarian leaders, insisted on sending troops, I couldn't persuade them, so I came to Brother Yang to drink, but I didn't expect Brother Yang to mention this. β
"Brother and King Meng Yao are at odds, this is not good, aren't you afraid that the king will not pass on the throne to you in the future?"
"I'm afraid, hahahahaha." Meng Jie laughed: "I never thought of being a barbarian king, Brother Yang. I'll tell you the truth, this time I'm coming to the Yinye Cave in the West. It was to ask Brother Yang for personal favors. I hope my brother can borrow me a place to stay, so that I can find a place to live in seclusion, and I really don't want to participate in the affairs of the barbarians. β
"In my seclusion?" Yang Feng was puzzled.
Meng Jie said lightly: "Brother Yang doesn't know, now my second brother and third brother are completely regarded as barbarians, and have long forgotten the Han family, the Yinkengdong people were also Han people a hundred years ago, and now they have forgotten cleanly, and the stay there is really unsatisfactory, only the brothers can still live here, and from time to time you can also discuss Han Fu and Han poems with Brother Yang, which can be regarded as consoling the remnants." β
"Brother Mengjie is only forty years old, just talk about the remnants of life, or let's go thirty miles, there is a place"
The hermit said: "The old man is a waste person in the mountains and wilderness, and he is in vain." This spring is located behind the hermitage. "Teach to take and drink. So the boy led Wang Ping and the dumb army together, and came to the stream, and drew water to drink; Then he spit out his saliva and speak. The boy led the army to bathe in the Wan'an Creek.
The hermit entered the cypress tea and pine cauliflower in the nunnery to wait for Kong Ming. The hermit said: "There are many poisonous snakes and evil scorpions in this barbarian hole, and the willow flowers float into the streams and springs, and the water is not drinkable; But digging the ground is a spring, and you can drink water. Kong Ming begged for shallot leaves and rue incense, and the hermit ordered the army to take it with all his heart: "Each person has a leaf in his mouth, and the natural miasma does not invade." Kong Ming begged for the hermit's name, and the hermit smiled and said: "A certain is Meng Jie, the brother of Meng Shu." Kong Ming was stunned. The hermit also said: "The prime minister is suspicious, and Rong Shen said: There are three people born to a certain parent: the eldest is the old husband Meng Jie, the second Meng Yu, and the second Meng You." Both parents died. The second brother is strong and evil, and he does not return to the king. A certain repeatedly disobeyed, so he changed his name and surname, and lived in seclusion here. Now he insulted his brother and rebelled, and he worked hard for the prime minister to go deep into the barren land, so he was born and suffered, and Meng Jie deserved to die, so he asked for guilt before the prime minister. Kong Ming sighed and said: "Fang Xin's theft and benevolence are also happening today." Then he said to Meng Jie: "I play the Son of Heaven and establish the prince as the king, but what?" The verse said: "Fleeing here for the sake of fame and fame no longer means to be greedy for wealth and wealth!" "Kong Ming was given by a golden silk. Meng Jiejian did not accept it. Kong Ming sighed and said goodbye and returned. Later generations have a poem that says: "Gao Shi secluded and retreated, and Wuhou once broke the barbarians." So far, the ancient wood is uninhabited, and there is still a cold smoke locking the old mountain. β
Kong Ming returned to Dazhai and ordered the sergeants to dig the ground to get water. Dig down more than 20 zhang, and there is no drip; This is true of all those who dig more than ten places. The army panicked. Kong Ming burned incense in the middle of the night and told the sky: "The minister is not talented, he inherits the blessing of the Han Dynasty and is ordered to be barbaric." There was no water on the way, and the horses were thirsty. If the heavens are endless, the sweet spring will be given! If luck is over, Chen Liang and others are willing to die here! "It's the night of wishes, and if you look at it clearly, you will have to be full of sweet springs. Later generations have a poem that says: "For the peace of the country, the barbarian soldiers, with the right way and the gods." Geng worships the well and springs, and Zhuge pious water is born at night. "Kong Ming's military horses have a sweet spring, so they safely went straight from the trail to the front of the Bald Dragon Cave and went down to the village. The barbarian soldiers found out and reported to Meng Shu and said: "The Shu soldiers are not infected with the miasma of the plague, and there is no thirst, so all springs should not be." "King Duosi didn't believe it when he heard it, and he and Meng came to the mountains to look at it. I saw that the Shu soldiers were safe and sound, with large buckets and small burdens, carrying water slurry, drinking horses and making rice. Seeing this, Duo Si's hair shrugged, and he looked back at Meng Shu and said: "This is a divine soldier!" He said: "As soon as the two brothers and the Shu soldiers fought to the death, they died in front of the army, and Anken was bound!" Duo Si said: "If the king is defeated, my wife will also be relieved." When killing cattle and horses, rewarding the caves, not avoiding water and fire, and rushing straight to Shu Village, can win. So he rewarded the brutes.
Just as he was about to set off, he suddenly reported that Yang Feng, the master of the 21st Cave of Yinye Cave in the West of the Cave, led 30,000 soldiers to help the battle. Meng was overjoyed and said: "If the neighbors help me, I will win!" "That is, he came out of the cave with King Doth to greet him. Yang Feng led the troops into and said: "I have 30,000 elite soldiers, all of whom are wearing iron armor and can fly over mountains and mountains, which is enough to defeat millions of Shu soldiers; I have five sons, all of whom are skilled in martial arts. May I help the king. "Feng ordered the five sons to worship, all of them were full of tiger bodies and majestic spirits. Meng was overjoyed, so he set up a table to treat Yang Feng's father and son. The wine was half drunk, and Feng said: "There is little music in the army, I have a barbarian aunt with the army, and I am good at dancing swords and cards to help me laugh." "I was relieved to follow it. Suddenly, dozens of barbarian aunts, all wearing their hair and feet, danced and jumped in from outside the tent, and the group of barbarians clapped their hands and sang with them. Yang Feng ordered the second son to take the lamp. The two sons raised a glass to Meng Shu and Meng Youqian. The two took the cup, Fang wanted to drink, Feng shouted, and the two sons had already sat down Meng Shu and Meng You. King Duosi was about to leave, and he was captured by Yang Feng. The barbarian aunt is cut across the tent, who dares to approach. He said: "To avoid the sorrow of the dead fox, the object hurts its kind." I and you are both the lords of the caves, and there was no injustice in the past, why did you harm me? Feng said: "My brothers and nephews are all grateful for the grace of Prime Minister Zhuge for his life, and there is nothing to repay." Now you rebel, why not capture! (To be continued.) )
