Zhuge Jun defeated the barbarians and captured the barbarian king Meng Shu.

On the way back to Chengdu when Xu Huang led a team of Han troops to escort Meng Huo, the messenger was already fast and spread the news to Liu Wei in Luoyang City.

Busy marrying Wang Liu, Liu Wei didn't pay much attention to the war in Yizhou and Liaodong these days.

Good news came from Liaodong, and Pang Tong even proposed that the army march north, all the way to Tiyì in the territory of Wuhuan.

Almost without thinking about it, Liu Wei made instructions to allow the army to advance north, and transferred the Han infantry that was about to withdraw to the territory of Yin in Henan Province back to Liaodong and was dispatched by Pang Tong.

In the war with the Wuhuan people, the Han army has taken the absolute lead.

The news of Zhuge Jun's defeat of the barbarians also reached Liu Wei's eyes.

Unfolding the good news and browsing through the content on it, Liu Wei raised his head and said to everyone in the hall: "Zhuge Jun defeated the barbarians and captured the barbarian king Meng Shu, and now he has been escorted to Chengdu and handed over to Xu Shu for disposal. What do you think my big man should do with Meng Huo? ”

"Barbarians live in barren mountains and mountains, and they have always been difficult to tame!" As soon as Liu Bian's words were asked, Chen Gong stood up, clenched his fists and bowed to him and said, "If Your Majesty wants to civilize the wilderness, you must invest a lot of manpower and material resources......

"What does Gongtai mean ......?" Staring at Chen Gong, Liu Wei raised his palm and made a chopping gesture.

Maintaining the posture of clenching his fists and bowing, Chen Gong did not say anything more, but his demeanor had already explained the problem.

Liu Wei pinched his chin, frowned slightly, and was pondering whether what Chen Gong said was reasonable, Tian Feng, who was sitting on the other side, stood up, clenched his fists and bowed to him and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the barbarian king cannot be killed!" ”

Tian Feng proposed a construction that was completely different from Chen Gong, and Liu Wei looked up at him and asked, "Why can't you kill him?" ”

Putting down the fists he had picked up, Tian Feng raised his head and said to Liu Wei: "The barbarians occupy a wild land, although the equipment is poor, but they have geographical advantages. When our army enters the barren mountains, there must be many casualties among the soldiers. If His Majesty does not want to fight the barbarians for a long time, the barbarian king should be placed under house arrest and the barbarians should be restrained by him! ”

"Barbarian King under house arrest!" Pinching his chin and nodding, Liu Wei said: "In this way, the barbarians really don't dare to use troops against Yizhou." It's just that time goes by, and the reputation of the barbarian king will decline day by day, once it comes to that time, what should I do? ”

Liu Wei's words were actually stunned when Tian Feng was asked.

Just thinking that the barbarian king should not be killed, but he didn't think about how to deal with the barbarians in the future, Tian Feng was silent for a while, and he couldn't come up with a more in-depth construction.

Looking around at the people in the hall, Liu Wei waved his hand and said to them: "That's it, this matter will be put aside for the time being, since I entrusted the matter of Yizhou to Yuan Zhi, then Yuan Zhi will deal with it!" ”

Pushing the matter to Xu Shu, Liu Wei stood up and said to everyone: "Something to start, nothing to retreat!" ”

Everyone got up one after another, facing Liu Wei, and sent him off with fists.

Glancing at everyone in the hall, Liu Wei strode towards the door of the main hall.

Wang Liu and Wang Zhen, who were standing on both sides, followed closely behind him and walked towards the outside of the hall.

Out of the main hall, Wang Liu did not say a word, she still clearly remembered that Tang Ji and others required her that she could accompany Liu Wei to the court, but she must not interfere in political affairs.

Wang Zhen, who was walking on the other side, asked Liu Wei: "Your Majesty, the barbarian king has repeatedly led troops to invade the border of my Han Dynasty, if you don't kill him, the border people are afraid that it will be ......."

"Kill the barbarian king, and there will be a new barbarian king rising." Turning his head to look at Wang Zhen, Liu Wei said to her: "If it is not a last resort, I will definitely not order the barbarian king to be killed." What I want is a way to get the barbarians to stop for a long time. ”

"Migrate people to the wilderness?" To deal with the Xiongnu and Qiang people, Liu Wei adopted the method of ethnic integration, and Wang Zhen first thought of this method.

"The people are going to move, but not now!" Smiling slightly, Liu Wei said: "The wild land is full of barren mountains and mountains, if the people are moved there, it will definitely make the fields in Yizhou less cultivated, which is not a wise move. ”

When Liu Wei said this, Wang Zhen didn't ask any more, but vaguely felt that the barbarians in the south were more difficult to deal with than the Wuhuan in the north.

In Luoyang City, Liu Wei decided to hand over the power to dispose of Meng Shu to Xu Shu, and Xu Shu, who was sitting in Chengdu, had already met Meng Shu.

Walking all the way, Meng Shu's upper body was tightly bound by hemp rope.

has been escorted to Xu Shu, and the hemp rope on his body has still not been removed by the Han army guarding.

Sitting in the main seat in the front hall of the official mansion, Xu Shu stared at Meng Huo, who was escorted in by two Han soldiers, and looked at him from head to toe before asking, "You are Meng Huo?" ”

Meng Shu couldn't understand the Han people's words at all, Xu Shu opened his mouth to ask him, but he turned his face to the side.

His actions made Xu Shu feel unruly, and his face suddenly turned cold.

Escorting Meng Shu to Chengdu, the two soldiers knew that Meng Shu did not understand the Han language, and one of them hurriedly clasped his fists and said to Xu Shu: "Prime Minister Qi, the barbarian king does not understand Chinese, I think I must find someone who understands the barbarian language!" ”

After learning from the soldiers that Meng Shu did not understand the language of the Han people, the look on Xu Shu's face was a little better, and he waved his hand at a soldier and said, "Ask anyone in the city who understands the language of the barbarians, and the order is to come immediately!" ”

"No!" The soldier clenched his fists in response, turned and retreated.

Seeing the soldiers withdraw, Xu Shucai said to the other soldier behind Meng Shu: "Please General Xu come in and speak!" ”

One of the remaining soldiers answered, turned and left the room.

Escorting Meng Shu to Chengdu, Xu Huang exited the room after meeting Xu Shu, but he didn't leave too far, just waited outside the house.

Knowing that Xu Shu wanted him to go in again, he hurriedly pushed open the door and entered the house.

"Prime Minister!" Clenched his fists and bowed to Xu Shu, Xu Huang asked, "Summoning the last general, I don't know what?" ”

"General Xu!" Looking up at Xu Huang standing at the door, Xu Shu said to him, "Untie the rope on the barbarian king!" ”

Turning his head to look at Meng Shu, Xu Huang didn't hesitate too much, strode behind him, and helped him untie him.

was tied for days, and suddenly the rope was untied, Meng Shu was stunned for a moment, and when the rope was taken off by Xu Huang and thrown aside, he rubbed his wrist that was tied wood, and looked at Xu Shu with doubts.

"Let him sit!" waved his hand at Xu Huang, who was standing aside, and Xu Shu gave an understatement of instructions.

Knowing that Meng Huo couldn't understand the words of the Han people, Xu Huang didn't speak to him, but just put a hand on his shoulder and pushed him to the side.

was pushed by Xu Huang, and Meng Shu turned his head and glared at him fiercely.

Xu Huang ignored his hostile gaze, raised his hand and pointed at the straw mat next to him, and hummed at him.

From Xu Huang's movements, Meng Shu could see that he was asking him to sit down.

After thinking for a while, thinking that Zhuge Jun couldn't understand what he said at the beginning, Meng Shu calmed down in his heart, made a southern barbarian salute to Xu Shu, and sat down on the straw mat that Xu Huang pointed to.

The Southern Barbarians were different from the Han Chinese.

When the Han people sit down, they all adopt a kneeling posture to reflect etiquette, while the barbarians are different, and they adopt a sitting posture with their legs crossed and a grinning posture.

Seeing the posture of the barbarian king sitting down, Xu Shu, who had traveled the world, did not have any special expression, but Xu Huang frowned slightly.

Just as he was about to remind Meng Shu to sit down like a Han man, Xu Shu glanced at him.

Seeing Xu Shu's eyes, Xu Huang, who had already taken a step towards Meng Shu, stopped, glared at Meng Shu, and took two steps back.

Meng Shu also ignored Xu Huang's eyes glaring at him, turned his face to look at Xu Shu, although he was full of doubts, he didn't ask questions.

Even if he asked, Xu Shu couldn't understand what he was saying.

Growing up in the Southern Barbarians, Meng Shu's intelligence is really inferior to the Han people, but after all, he is also the king of the Southern Barbarians, and he is much smarter than other Southern Barbarians.

From Xu Shu ignoring him, he could already see that Xu Shu was like Zhuge Jun, waiting for someone who knew Nanban to come.

Sitting in the hall, waiting for half an hour, everyone was silent, and no one broke the silence at all.

"Prime Minister Qi, Prime Minister Chen Chong has had contact with the Southern Barbarians for a period of time, and the villain has invited him!" Everyone was waiting, and the voice of a Han soldier came from outside the door.

Hearing that someone who knew Nanban dialect had come, Xu Shu hurriedly ordered outside the house: "Please let him in and talk!" ”

Follow the soldiers to the official mansion, and when he arrived at the door of the front hall, Chen Chong, who was waiting with his fists in his fists, heard the call, and after the soldiers greeted him, he stepped into the house, made a big salute to Xu Shu and said: "Hou Prime Minister Chen Chong, knock to see the prime minister!" ”

Looking up at Chen Chong, Xu Shu nodded and asked him, "Have you ever had a relationship with the Southern Barbarians?" ”

Maintaining the posture of clenching his fists and bowing, Chen Chong said to Xu Shu: "Back to the prime minister, Xia Guan really had dealings with the Southern Barbarians back then. Nanban territory, although the mountains and forests are full of miasma, but also rich in all kinds of goods, the lower officials are responsible for purchasing goods from Nanban! ”

Nodding, Xu Shu turned his gaze to Meng Shu's body, and said to Chen Chong: "Annoying the Marquis of Lao, ask the barbarian king, why do you want to lead the troops into the Yizhou territory?" ”

In response, Chen Chong turned his head to look at Meng Shu and repeated Xu Shu's question in Nanban dialect.

Xu Shu's question undoubtedly sounded like an idiot to Meng Shu.

What else can the Southern Barbarians do when they enter Yizhou?

In addition to plundering food and wealth, killing people is simply an incidental thing to them in the process of plundering.

Looking at Xu Shu with a stunned face, Meng Shu said: "I waited to enter Yizhou just for money and food. If you have the ability, let go of so-and-so, and fight again in the future! If you don't let it go, it will be better for someone to cut off the head of so-and-so, than to detain so-and-so here! ”

Chen Chong repeated Meng Shu's words to Xu Shu, and Xu Shu's face was suddenly full of smiles.
