Chapter 195: Nanzhong Rebellion
South Central.
On the huge and humble hall sat a man surrounded by animal skins, with various feathers on his head, extremely fat and mighty, he was the leader of the largest tribe in the southern barbarians, Meng Shu; On the left and right sides of the hall stood six generals dressed in leather armor and rattan armor. At this moment, everyone in the hall was staring at an uninvited guest, Cao Cao's messenger. The person who came was a young scribe who was no more than thirty years old, and he spoke eloquently in the face of the battle in front of him, without showing any timidity.
Meng Shu waved his hand impatiently, "Don't talk nonsense!" What exactly did Cao Cao want to do? โ
The messenger motioned to his attendants to present the things. The attendant immediately walked up to Meng Shu with a brocade box in both hands. Meng Shu glanced at him, grabbed the brocade box, and the attendant hurriedly retreated behind the messenger.
Meng Shu opened the brocade box and was stunned, "This is ......?!" "When I picked up the contents of it, it turned out to be a Ming Huang Holy Decree. Meng Shu shook the holy decree, "Hey, what does Cao Cao mean?" โ
The messenger smiled, "It's a good thing! Why don't you open it and take a look? โ
Meng Yu frowned, opened the holy decree, and looked at it. Meng Shu said in surprise: "The emperor named me the king of Nanzhong?!" โ
The envoy smiled and clenched his fists and said, "Congratulations to the king!" From today on, the king will be the king of Nanzhong recognized by the Han Empire! Meng Huo laughed, "So, the emperor admits that Nanzhong is my territory?" The messenger nodded, "Exactly! Nanzhong is completely governed by the king, and no one is allowed to interfere! โ
Meng Shu glanced at the envoy, "Since Nanzhong is mine, then the officials you have arranged in various parts of Nanzhong will immediately withdraw for me!" โ
The messenger nodded, "It's natural. However, there are some situations that the king should also know, such as today's chaos, the princes everywhere do not listen to the orders of the court. Although His Majesty the Emperor has already sent an edict to Yizhou, whether they will carry it out is another matter! โ
Meng Shu sneered: "It turns out that your emperor can't even control his own subordinates!" The messenger smiled and said nothing.
Meng Shu said loudly: "Since your emperor can't control it, I'll deal with it myself!" If they won't go, I'll leave their heads! โ

In the afterglow of the setting sun, a fast horse galloped into the magnificent city of Chengdu.
"Lord Qiyu, there is a riot among the barbarians of the southern and central tribes! They are attacking the government offices and looting the treasury, and we have already killed many people! The messenger reported urgently.
Fa Zheng was shocked, "How could such a thing happen?" โ
The messenger shook his head in disknowledgement.
Fa Zheng thought for a while, turned his head and ordered to one of his subordinates beside him: "Go and ask General Xu Huang immediately." The subordinate promised and ran down.
A moment later, Xu Huang, dressed in majestic armor, strode into the hall. When he saw Fa Zheng, he hugged his fists and said, "My lord." Fa Zheng hurriedly sat down, handed the official document in his hand to Xu Huang, and said with a solemn expression: "The barbarians in Nanzhong are in rebellion, and the situation is tense!" Xu Huang was taken aback, and hurriedly took the official document and read it. frowned and said: "All the tribes of the Southern Barbarians have rebelled!" What a time! โ
Fa Zhengdao: "The rebels of the Southern Barbarians are at least more than 200,000, can the general cope with it?" โ
Xu Huang clenched his fists with a firm face and said, "Just do your best to quell the rebellion!" However, this matter is very important, and the general should be reported immediately! Fa Zheng nodded: "This is nature!" โ
The military situation was like fire, Xu Huang did not dare to delay, and immediately mobilized 80,000 leopard troops under his command to leave Chengdu and go south to quell the chaos. A few days later, the army entered Yuejun County, the closest to the Chengdu area. In a moment of panic, the team ascended to a high ground, and the vast plain immediately came into view. It was supposed to be a poetic and beautiful scenery, but it became a place of wolf smoke billowing and killing, and several villages within the eye were all billowing black smoke, a scene of ghosts crying and wolves.
Xu Huang frowned, and ordered to his subordinate general Chen Kang: "You lead the cavalry team to rush down immediately, and if you find a rebel, destroy it immediately!" "No!" Chen Kang turned his horse's head and led three thousand horsemen to run down.
When the army entered a village, they saw that all the houses had been burned down and the corpses of the villagers were strewn all over the ground. When the villagers who escaped saw Xu Huang and them, they gathered around and knelt on the ground and cried. Xu Huang pacified the local people and ordered the army to camp here tonight.
That night, the moon and stars were scarce, the night sky was like a wash, and the majestic wind caressed the branches. It was a good night, but it was so quiet that it was unsettling.
Xu Huang sat under the big tent lamp and looked at the map, his brows furrowed, he felt that this time the battle between Nanzhong and China would be much more difficult than expected!
Kill! Suddenly there was a loud noise outside the tent. Xu Huang frowned, and hurriedly lifted his battle axe out of the big tent. I saw countless torches surging in the distance.
Chen Kang rushed to Xu Huang, clenched his fists and said urgently: "General, the rebels have attacked the camp!" โ
"How many are there?"
Chen Kang shook his head, "I don't know! There are torches all over the mountains, and I'm afraid there are more than 100,000 people! โ
Xu Huang was unmoved, and said calmly: "Order all armies to meet the battle according to the established plan!" "No!" Chen Kang ran down.
The fence on the east side was violently breached by the surging crowd, and tens of thousands of rebels rushed in. Shoot the arrows! With a shout, the repeaters in the camp opened fire violently, and at close range, the crossbows fired in full force, sweeping past like a storm! The rebels who rushed in screamed and fell, and the scene was chaotic! However, the fierce barbarian rebels were not frightened, they still rushed forward with machetes, battle axes and all kinds of horsemen and obedient weapons! The evil wave is coming!
The crossbowmen immediately retreated, and the warriors, clad in heavy iron armor and armed with long-handled swords, met the surging waves. When the war broke out, the heavily armored warriors roared and waved their long knives, setting off a rain of blood, and the two-meter-long long knife of chopping horses was choked by the two-meter-long slashing horse ฮต and the long knife was choked by the two-meter-long sword, and the two-meter-long sword was choked by the ฮต two-meter-long sword, and the two-meter-long sword-cutting knife was รท the two-meter-long sword, and the two-meter-long sword-cutting knife was the two-meter-long sword, and the two-meter-long sword-cutting knife was the two-meter-long sword, and the two-meter-long sword, the two-metered horse, the two-metered sword, the two-meter-long
Fierce battles broke out all over the camp! The barbarians who stormed the camp fought with the Han army everywhere! The silent night was turned upside down by the shouts of killing, and the bright moonlight seemed to be painted with a layer of blood.

As the battle continued, the original advantage of the barbarians gradually disappeared, and the Han army gradually recovered the situation and gained the upper hand by relying on the well-equipped battle array! Counterattacks began everywhere, and tens of thousands of Han soldiers were like a whole, shouting and moving forward firmly! In the face of this perfect war machine, the outnumbered barbarian army suffered heavy losses and kept retreating, and the fierce heart gradually became timid!
