Zhuge Jun personally led the old man and sat down next to the inside of the tent, while he returned to the main seat, stared at Meng Shu, and said to the old man: "Annoying old man, General Daiben asked him, who is he!" ”

The old man answered, looked at Meng Shu, and said something to Meng Shu in the language of a barbarian.

The soldiers led the old man to the tent, but Meng Shu was still full of doubts, and he didn't know what Zhuge Jun would do with an old man.

It wasn't until the old man spoke to him that he suddenly realized that none of the Han people who defeated him understood the words of barbarians.

Knowing this, Meng Shu only felt that his intestines were going to be depressed.

If he had understood this, he would not have shouted so much nonsense at the Han people who didn't understand what he was talking about, but it would not be too late for the Han people to find border people who understood the barbarian language.

"A certain is Meng Huo, the master of the seventy-two caves in the south, all under the jurisdiction of a certain one!" The old man conveyed Zhuge Jun's words, and Meng Shu stiffened his waist and answered in a loud voice.

Knowing that it was the barbarian king Meng Shu standing in front of him, Zhuge Jun was stunned at first, and then a smile appeared on his face.

Leading the army to crusade against the barbarians, originally prepared to fight for a long time, but unexpectedly, the barbarian king Meng was captured in the first battle.

If you can make good use of the current situation, I am afraid that it will not take much time to completely conquer this southern barbarian realm.

"Ask him again, whether to accept or not." Knowing Meng Shu's identity, Zhuge Jun continued to say a word to the old man.

Hearing Zhuge Jun's question from the old man's mouth, Meng Shu snorted coldly and said: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and if you lose a game, it is because we have been driving straight in and neglecting to guard against you, so you have to wait for a loophole." ”

When Meng Shu spoke, his expression was arrogant, and he looked unruly, Zhuge Jun always had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and only after the old man conveyed Meng Shu's words did he say: "Sue him, General Ben originally planned to release him, but he knew that according to his temperament, he would definitely lead the army to fight again after he returned, so he couldn't let him go lightly, and General Ben would send him to Chengdu early tomorrow morning!" ”

Meng Huo was about to say what he had said earlier, and provoked Zhuge Jun to let him go, but when the old man conveyed Zhuge Jun's meaning, he was instantly disappointed.

Zhuge had no intention of letting him go at all, and he also expressed his attitude and wanted to send someone to send him to Chengdu.

Chengdu is located in the hinterland of Yizhou, far away from the Nanban territory, once there, even if he is given a chance to escape, he may not be able to return to Nanban alive.

Staring at Zhuge Jun, Meng Shu was already desperate to the extreme, and he shouted loudly: "If you want to kill, you will kill, if you don't kill, just let so-and-so go!" ”

was captured by the Han army and could still be so arrogant, and his too much frightened the old man who was in charge of translating the conversation between the two.

Sitting in the first seat, Zhuge Jun always had an indifferent smile on his face, staring at Meng Shu, as if he didn't put him in his eyes at all.

The old man was startled by Meng Huo, his mouth opened, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

Finding that he was very scared, Zhuge Jun said in a gentle tone: "Old man doesn't need to be afraid, this person has been captured by our army, and asking for his head is just a matter of moments, just tell the general what he said!" ”

Zhuge Jun's words dispelled the panic in the old man's heart, and he hurriedly relayed what Meng Shu said to him.

Staring at Meng Shu, the smile on Zhuge Jun's face became brighter and brighter, and he was silent for a moment before he spoke: "The soldiers of the Han army, everyone's life is precious, since this general has captured the barbarian king, how can he release him lightly, and then lead the barbarians to fight with our army in the future?" ”

After listening to the old man's truthful translation, Meng Huo's face turned pale, and he shouted loudly: "If you don't let me go, why don't you kill me?" ”

After learning the meaning of his words from the old man, Zhuge Jun said with a smile: "If the barbarian king is dead, the barbarians will definitely enter Yizhou, although our army will definitely be able to exterminate the barbarians, but the soldiers will also suffer a lot of losses." Han army soldiers, who has no parents, wives and children? As a general, how could he let the soldiers make that senseless sacrifice? After thinking about it again and again, if you want the barbarians to throw a rat bogey, the only way is to send the barbarian king to Chengdu, and the prime minister will decide how to send it! ”

When the old man translated the words to Meng Yu, Zhuge Jun shouted outside the tent: "Someone!" ”

A soldier guarding outside the tent heard his shout, and hurriedly stepped into the tent, clenching his fists and facing him.

"Escort Meng Huo down, and early tomorrow morning, ask General Xu Huang to lead someone to escort him back to Chengdu." Looking at the pro-soldier standing near the tent, Zhuge Jun gave an understatement of the order, then waved his hand and said to the pro-soldier: "Take him down!" ”

The pro-soldiers who got the order answered, beckoned a few other pro-soldiers, entered the tent, and escorted Meng Yu out.

When the soldiers escorted Meng Shu out, Zhuge Jun turned his head to look at the old man and said, "Uncle, I'm too late, so the villagers will suffer!" ”

"It's not bitter!" Zhuge Jun suddenly said this, and the old man hurriedly hugged his fists, bowed down and said: "Before the barbarians came to Yizhou, Xiaomin and the others had already received the news, but they entered the mountains to take refuge for some time, and now the general has driven away the barbarians, and Xiaomin can also go home." ”

Nodding, Zhuge Jun said to the old man: "Please see the villagers, tell them, and say that I am a Han soldier, and I will definitely not let the barbarians bully the Han people again!" ”

"Xiaomin remembered!" Although the mouth is not bitter, but hiding in the mountains and forests, after all, it is different from living at home, hearing that the Han army will protect them in the future, the old man quickly stood up, bent his legs, knelt down facing Zhuge Jun, and said with tears in his eyes: "The general's kindness to the small people, the small people and the villagers, dare not forget each other until death!" ”

He suddenly knelt in front of him, Zhuge Jun quickly stood up, strode in front of him, helped him up, stared at his eyes that were already slightly cloudy and said: "The villagers are suffering because our army is late. This general swore to his uncle today that if he did not conquer the barbarians, he would not return to the army! ”

As the chief general of the Han army, Zhuge Jun would swear to an elderly farmer, which made the inexplicable old man who was already grateful in his heart even more indescribable.

Being stared at by Zhuge Jun, the old man didn't dare to look at him for too long, lowered his head a little, shifted his gaze to the side, and said with a slight tremble: "Xiaomin must inform the villagers that in the future, where the army will be useful to the villagers, Xiaomin will come first." ”

"Thank you, sir!" Supporting the old man, while accompanying him towards the outside of the tent, Zhuge Jun said to him: "Today, His Majesty can't see the people suffering, and now Yizhou has been returned to the king, and the good days of the villagers should not be far away!" ”

As an ordinary person, the old man didn't care who was the emperor in the world.

Like many ordinary people, he is only concerned about whether the local officials can make a stable life.

In the past, Liu Zhang's management of Yizhou was relatively loose, and the exploitation of the people was not very heavy, and the lives of the people in Yizhou, far away from Nanban and Hanzhong, could be regarded as stable.

Although the loose law of governing the world left some capital for the people to accumulate family business, for the Yizhou civilians on the border, the Yizhou army of that year was very bad.

Fighting with Zhang Lu's Hanzhong army, the Yizhou army was defeated and won less, and could only barely resist Zhang Lu, making it impossible for him to enter the hinterland of Yizhou.

In the southern barbarian territory, the soldiers and horses of Yizhou are even weaker than homeless.

Whenever the southern barbarians invaded, although they would immediately meet the battle, but the result of each battle was unsatisfactory, and many people on the border had to be displaced and leave the country because of the weakness of the Yizhou army.

A few days ago, tens of thousands of troops from the Nanban entered the border of Yizhou, and the people got the news that they did not have much hope for the Han army at all, and they fled into the mountains with their children and daughters.

What they didn't expect at all was that the Han army, which was far inferior in number to the southern barbarians, suddenly attacked and completely defeated the barbarians after confronting the barbarians for several days.

Every day, the people who fled into the mountains sent out to find out what was going on outside the mountains to decide whether to flee to the hinterland of Yizhou or stay here and wait to return home.

For several days in a row, the Han army, which was completely inferior in numbers, repelled the attack of the southern barbarians, and the people who got the news were also overjoyed in their hearts.

Although they have a way to move to the hinterland of Yizhou, none of them are very willing to leave their homeland.

Although this is adjacent to Nanban, it is their home!

To be able to stay at home, no one wants to travel thousands of miles to another country.

The hope pinned on the Han army was that they could resist the Southern Barbarian army, but they did not expect that the Han army would completely defeat the Southern Barbarians in the end.

The old man who came to the barracks was a little unbelieving when he heard the news, so he deliberately went down the mountain to find out, but he didn't want to be bumped into by the soldiers of the Han army who were looking for someone who understood the Southern Barbarian dialect.

In the middle of the Han army's tent, the old man suddenly had a strong awe for this army.

After living for so many years, he has never seen such a strong army!

With such an army guarding the border passes, why fear that the southern barbarians could invade Yizhou, loot and slaughter them, farmers and peasant women facing the loess with their backs to the sky?

Supporting the old man and sending him outside the tent, Zhuge Jun said to him again: "Old man, after some time, our army may enter the Southern Barbarian Realm and lead the battlefield to them." I don't know if among the villagers that my husband recognizes, are there people who are familiar with the Nanban road? ”

"Yes! Yes! Almost without thinking about it, the old man said to him: "The land of the Southern Barbarians is full of mountains and forests, and there are many miasma in the mountains and forests. After the small people return, they will tell the villagers that the general will lead the army into the Southern Barbarians, and then bring a few strong and healthy offspring to the general to guide the army! ”
