Chapter 616: Mrs. Zhu Rong
The person who came was not a bystander, it was Meng Huo's fiancΓ©e Rong Chun, this Zhu Rongchun lived in Nanban, according to legend, after the fire god Zhu Rong, Nanban brought the daughter of the king, twenty-nine years old, born beautiful as a flower, has been married to the barbarian king Meng Huo, but has not yet passed the door. This Southern Barbarian custom is different from the Central Plains, men and women are rude to teach great defense, Zhu Rongchun heard that Meng was surrounded by Han soldiers, and immediately brought his brother Zhu Rongliang, the owner of the cave, to lead the troops to help. Seeing Meng Huo's frowning, Zhu Rongchun chuckled and said, "The king is also a dignified man, but why do you want to learn from your daughter's posture and break the Han army, what is the difficulty!" β
Meng Huo was overjoyed when he saw his fiancΓ©e at first sight, and when he heard Zhu Rongchun laughing, Meng Huo was very embarrassed, so he had to say: "Madame doesn't know that Liu Ze is powerful, he killed my first general in the first battle, and defeated Dong Dana and Ah Huinan in a row, unstoppable, and now the soldiers are coming to the city, and I can't think about a good way to retreat from the enemy." β
Zhu Rongchun's smile was as delicate as a flower, and Meng Huo was itching in his heart. "You men, you show off your strength on weekdays, you are very majestic, and you shrink your head and tail when you encounter something, that's it, I will fight for you tomorrow, and you can see how the Han army becomes a fan!"
Meng was overjoyed and asked tentatively, "What is Madame's plan?" β
Zhu Rongchun threw him a flattering look, and said with a smile: "The king doesn't have to ask the bottom of the matter, you just have to collect Liu Ze's body tomorrow." β
Meng Huo laughed, hugged the waist of Wu Rongchun's little man, and said: "With the help of his beloved wife, this king can naturally sit back and relax!" Tomorrow's lady goes into battle to break the enemy, and this king will break the lady first tonight! β
Wo Rongchun's face flushed red, and he refused a little shyly: "People haven't passed the door yet, and the king is not ashamed of what he said." β
Meng Huo laughed heartily, and there was a bit of smugness in his laughter. "Why didn't you pass through the door, that's just a break in the rules of the Han people, and we still pay attention to this?" said. Spread out his broad arms, picked up Zhu Rongchun horizontally, and strode towards the dormitory.

Outside the city of Dianchi, Liu Ze and Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun and others brought a small number of guards to live under the city to investigate the enemy's situation, and Liu Ze had to personally come to the front line in every battle. Understand the enemy's deployment situation and know what to expect.
Dianchi City was originally the seat of Yizhou County, and after Meng Shu rose, he killed the Taishou of Yizhou County and seized Dianchi City. Compared with the city in the Central Plains, the city of Dianchi is not tall and majestic, but the city here is made of stones, which is obviously much stronger than the brick and earth rammed city walls in the Central Plains. There are also four doucheng on the four sides of the city, the radius is only a few dozen zhang, but the building is higher than the city wall, the shape is like a pillbox, it is faintly visible that there are arrow towers and a lot of barbarian soldiers stationed on it. These doucheng arched and defended the big city outside the Dianchi Lake, and if you want to take Dianchi Lake, you must first break through these doucheng.
At this moment, a high-pitched howling sound was heard in Dianchi City. Extremely harsh. Zhuge Liang changed color slightly and muttered for a moment. Instructed Zhao Yundao: "Zilong quickly arranged a few battalions of men and horses to go to the field overnight to catch some voles and come back." β
Zhao Yun was slightly stunned, and said curiously: "What is the use of the military advisor wanting voles?" β
Zhuge Liang said: "The matter is urgent, it's too late to talk about it in detail, you quickly arrange manpower, you must catch it alive." The more the merrier. β
Zhao Yun saw that Zhuge Liang said so solemnly, and he had no intention of joking, so he immediately turned around and went down to arrange for the soldiers to catch voles.
Liu Ze was slightly stunned, even he couldn't figure out what Zhuge Liang wanted to do to catch voles, but since Zhuge Liang made such an arrangement. There must be a reason for him.
Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Ze with a puzzled expression, and said with a slight smile: "Has the lord ever heard the strange cries in Dianchi City?" β
Liu Ze nodded, from where they stood, they could indeed hear a strange cry in Dianchi City, low and redundant, but it was difficult to distinguish what kind of animal came from, listening to Zhuge Liang say this, Liu Ze thought about it carefully, this voice had been heard before, this was not after he came to the Three Kingdoms, but the memory of his previous life, as if - as if he had heard it in the zoo - "Yes, it is the cry of an elephant!" β
Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "The lord is really well-informed, a special animal in the south and central land, the body is ten times the size of a cow, the skin is rough and the meat is thick, the ears are as big as a fan, the nose is long and the teeth are curved, the feet are as thick as a pillar, and the sound is like a bell." Liang has never witnessed what this elephant is born like, but from a previous person's notes, I heard that the southwest barbarians have driven elephants to fight, elephants are huge, not afraid of knives and arrows, run, the ground shakes the mountains, every battle is invincible, even if it is wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, but also the group is very afraid. β
Liu Ze said: "The military advisor wants Zilong to catch voles, is he looking for a way to deal with war elephants?" β
Zhuge Liang said: "The lord doesn't know, this elephant is not afraid of tigers and leopards, no matter how many people go up, they can't stand its trampling, but everything in this world is one thing descends one thing, and what elephants are afraid of is a small vole." Voles are the best at drilling holes, elephants have long noses and big ears, but they are the most ideal nests for voles, elephants are huge, but they are helpless against these small voles, once they are drilled into their heads by voles, eat their brain marrow, and the elephant is killed. Fang Cai Liang heard that there were elephants chirping in the city, and he thought that Meng Shu would expel the elephant array tomorrow. If you want to break this elephant array, you have to use voles as pioneers. β
Liu Ze couldn't help but secretly pointed out to Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang is well-read and has a strong memory, and his knowledge of shooting and hunting is extremely wide, and fortunately he has already made arrangements, otherwise tomorrow's Meng Shu's war elephant array will rush over, and he will not be able to resist it no matter how with the Jing army's foot cavalry alone.
Zhao Yun led people to be busy all night, fortunately there are still a lot of voles in this field, and after a night, they have gained a lot, a total of thousands of voles were captured alive, all of them were poured into cloth bags by soldiers, and went back to Zhuge Liang to return to life. In Zhao Yun's opinion, Zhuge Liang's order seemed a little inexplicable, when the military food was scarce, these voles were good food, but now that the supply of grain and grass in the Jing army was sufficient, there seemed to be no reason for the military division to let the soldiers eat these disgusting things.
Zhuge Liang smiled and said nothing, but ordered all the soldiers to tie the mouth of the cloth bag tightly, not to run a vole, and ordered Zhao Yun to take advantage of the dark sky to arrange for sappers to dig some trenches ten miles outside Dianchi City, these trenches should be dug wide and deep, but not connected to each other, but scattered.
Although Zhao Yun was confused, he knew that Zhuge was wise and profound, so he took the order and carried out the order of the military division to the letter.
At the right moment, Liu Ze promoted the tent to the general, took Chen Zhi as the vanguard, and led 3,000 troops to the city of Dianchi to call for battle. Chen Zhi received the order and immediately led his troops to Dianchi City.
Before Chen arrived at the city, he saw the closed gate of Dianchi City "squeak" opened, one elephant after another fish out, the dust stirred up was flying all over the sky, each elephant was riding four or five barbarian soldiers, each holding a spear and bow and arrow, and the leader was a huge white elephant, on the back of the elephant, there was a woman in red standing majestically, with a graceful posture, graceful demeanor, rough and soft, and it appeared at the same time so inappropriately, which made people feel deeply unexpected.
Chen Zhi and his soldiers are all northerners, and they have never seen such a behemoth as an elephant, so they can't help but be stunned, they are all soldiers who have fought a hundred battles, but in today's battle, they really don't know how to fight like this.
The woman on the elephant's back is Zhu Rongchun, a fiery red cloak wrapped around her charming body, she looked at the Han army on the opposite side condescendingly, with a cold sneer hanging on the corner of her mouth, at this moment, she is the king of the world, at this moment, she is the strong man who controls the power of life and death, the Han army in front of her is just a group of ants that can be crushed in an instant for Zhu Rongchun. She raised her right hand proudly, and as the slender jade fingers slashed in the air, the elephant battle array, which had been lined up, erupted into a piercing roar, and the thick elephant legs began to move forward.
It seems that the elephant seems to be clumsy, and moves extremely slowly, but this is completely an illusion of man, although the elephant seems to take slow steps, but one step is worth ten steps of man, but in the blink of an eye, it has already rushed over, and the whole earth is trembling.
