Chapter 28: The Seven Captures of Meng (2)

At night, Zhuge Liang asked Jiang Wei to bring Meng Huo's Dong Dana and Ah Hui Lan to his big tent, untied the ropes on their bodies with his own hands, gave them wine and food, and then said gently: "Meng Shu doesn't know the power of heaven and commits a rebellion, why do you two bother to help evil?" This government knows very well that the two of you are different from Meng Huo and the Golden Ring Three Festivals, and they are the cave masters who are close to the Han Dynasty, as long as you no longer help Meng Huo, this government will never embarrass you. ”

Dong Dana and Ah Huinan glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of fear in each other's eyes. Originally, in their opinion, this time they promised Meng Huo to go with the army, they could easily defeat the Han army like a sheep, and then get a lot of benefits from Liu Bei, who expected that the combat effectiveness of the Han army was far beyond their imagination, if the Han army was a sheep, then the barbarians under the two of them could only be regarded as a stronger lamb at most, the gap in reality, and what they thought in advance, was really too far away, after this battle, they no longer had the courage to continue to do right with the Han army.

After glancing at each other, the two did not hesitate for a moment, and bowed down in front of Zhuge Liang at the same time, and said at the same time: "Thank you Xiangguo for not killing, the two of us will return to Nanzhong early tomorrow morning, and we will never dare to be enemies of the Han army in the future." ”

Zhuge Liang helped the two of them up, and said with a smile: "It's not urgent to return to Nanzhong, there is still one thing that you need to do in this mansion, but I don't know if you are willing to help this mansion this time?" ”

The two hurriedly said: "Xiang Guodan has an order, and I will not give up." ”

"In that case, come ...... with your ears"

The next day, when the sky was bright, the 30,000 Han troops had already quietly retreated, as if they had never appeared, leaving no trace of half a point, only the 40,000 barbarians who had been confiscated of their weapons, confirming that the Han army had indeed come here. When the Han army retreated, they took away all the weapons in the hands of the 40,000 barbarians. Not even a single piece of iron was left, and at the same time, the ropes were lifted from the bodies of a small number of barbarians, allowing them to regain their freedom and rescue more barbarians who were tied together, Dong Dana and Ah Huilan were among them.

Dong Dana and Ah Hui came to Meng Huo's side as soon as possible, untied the shackles on Meng Huo's body, and said comfortingly: "King, this Han army is indeed extraordinary, let's not wade into this troubled water again and go back to Nanzhong." ”

didn't wait for Meng Shu to speak. Jinhuan Sanjie stood up, looked at the two of them angrily, and scolded: "No plan! In this defeat, the Han army relied on a sneak attack, and its real combat power was not much higher than ours, as long as we were more vigilant in the future, the Han army was not our opponent. Besides, if he is defeated once, he will flee back to Nanzhong with his tail between his legs. Then we will become a laughing stock, and the other cave masters will say that we are scared by the Han army! ”

Meng Shu nodded and said, "That's right, the Han army is powerful, but we are not muddy." We can't just go back. This king and Zhuge Cheng have an appointment, if it is after today, if he can capture this king again, this king will willingly submit to the Han. When the time comes, it will be decided by Prime Minister Zhuge to stay. Well, no further ado. Hurry up and rectify the people, we need to join Liu Bei as soon as possible, the weapons, grain and grass have been confiscated by the Han army, can we wait here to be starved to death? ”

Seeing that Meng Shu had made a decision, Dong Dana and Ah Huilan didn't say anything more, and silently turned away to straighten out the scattered men and horses of their respective subordinates. Looking at the backs of the two leaving, the third section of the golden ring whispered to Meng Shu: "King, there is something wrong with the two of them. According to my clansmen, I saw Zhuge Cheng summoning the two of them last night, will it be ......?"

"It's not impossible." Meng Shu waved his hand to interrupt the words of the third section of the Golden Ring, and said coldly: "If they really have the heart of betrayal, we would have already turned into corpses, how can we stand here?" Don't forget, before the shackles on us are lifted, it will be easy for them to kill us! However, it is really a bit strange that they have just urged this king to withdraw from the army. Keep an eye on them for the king, and if you find that they are colluding with the Han army, inform the king immediately. When the time comes, don't blame this king for not remembering the old love! ”

After taking a few steps forward, Meng Shu turned around again and said to the third section of the Golden Ring: "By the way, if our food is not enough to eat today, we will go to the nearby village to borrow some food, and it will be regarded as an advance from Liu Bei in advance." ”

In the mouth of the Southern Barbarians, it is actually a robbery, this is one of the favorite things to do in the three sections of the Golden Ring, burning, killing and looting, the three sections of the Golden Ring are proficient in everything, he laughed fiercely, and promised loudly: "Understand!" ”

At sunset, the barbarians of Meng Huo's department did not go far during the day, because of the lack of food in the army, the third section of the golden ring let his subordinates plunder the grain everywhere, so the process of the march was delayed, and the 40,000 barbarians took a whole day, only walked out of more than 100 miles, but although the trip was delayed a lot, it finally temporarily solved the problem of food, the food plundered by the third section of the golden ring, save some food, and be able to maintain 40,000 barbarians to eat for two or three days, and accelerate the march during this time, as long as they can reach Qianwei on time to meet Liu Bei, Then there will be no more worries about food.

When Meng Shu gave the order to stop the march and make a fire for cooking, the barbarians burst into cheers, and then they got busy, not taking to heart the lesson of the sneak attack by the Han army yesterday evening. These anxious barbarians of the Five Organs Temple failed to learn a lesson, but Meng Shu would not be like this, he arranged a thousand barbarians in the headquarters to set up eight teams of patrol posts in the four corners of the southeast, northwest and north, closely monitoring all the wind and grass around them, and let the Golden Ring Three Sections set up the tent to the periphery, acting as the first cordon, Meng Shu himself is even more unavoidable, sitting in his big tent, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

However, until the darkness of the night, there was still no trace of the Han army. Meng Huo had already fought with his eyes, and he couldn't get tired, let alone the brute soldiers who were tired after a long day's travel. Looking at the night sky with a strong spirit, Meng Xu estimated that the time was almost up, and there was only more than half an hour left before the time he and Zhuge Liang agreed, although now the barbarians were already lacking standard weapons in their hands, only some homemade weapons such as hunting bows and firewood knives that had been looted from nearby villages during the day. But it was almost impossible to defeat 40,000 barbarians again in just half an hour, thinking of this, Meng Shu's vigilance gradually relaxed, and after holding on for a while, he couldn't hold on anymore and fell on the soft couch made of animal skins. Fall asleep.

Thousands of miles of embankments are often destroyed in anthills, no matter how strong the fortress is, it can't resist the impact from the inside, Meng Shu is not unaware of this truth, but he ignores this truth. When Meng Shu fell asleep for two quarters of an hour, Dong Dana and Ah Huilan quietly came to Meng Shu's big tent, and behind them, there were ten strong barbarian warriors.

Dong Dana heard the snoring sound of thunder in Meng Shu's big tent, and whispered to Ah Hui: "Zhuge Cheng is really a clever calculation, he has already calculated that Meng Shu will fall asleep within half an hour before the son's time. That's why we're going to do it at this time. ”

Ah Hui nodded lightly and said in a low voice: "The wisdom of Prime Minister Zhuge is unpredictable, we Southern Barbarians, playing tricks and tricks, are far from being opponents, and the courage of the Han Army is not under our Southern Barbarians, and being against the Han Army is tantamount to asking for hardship." It's better to surrender early, so that the lives of the tribesmen can be saved. ”

It is also Meng Shu's bad luck, this morning, Meng Huo also had doubts about Dong Dana and Ah Hui. Let the Golden Ring Three Sections secretly keep an eye on them, but the Golden Ring Three Sections only care about burning, killing and looting, and completely forget about the task of stalking, and Dong Di and the two of them follow Zhuge Liang's explanation in advance. Before the child hour, he did not show the slightest abnormality, just as usual. completely blinded Meng Huo's eyes, which led to Meng Huo only taking external defenses, but neglecting internal inspections.

After dozens of breaths, Dong Dana and Ah Huinan and the ten strong men under them entered Meng Huo's big tent lightly, Dong Dana and the two knew that Meng Huo was brave and powerful, and they were afraid that they would not be able to subdue Meng Huo, so they secretly summoned ten henchmen and warriors, ready to rely on the strength of the number of people, and quickly capture Meng Huo.

Pointing in the direction of Meng Shu, Dong Dana shouted softly: "Take it!" Ten wrestlers immediately rushed towards Meng Huo and crushed Meng Huo to death. Meng Shu came to his senses at the first time, roared, stretched out his fists and wanted to push away the pile of people who were betting on him, but unfortunately, because he was lying down, he could only use the strength of his upper limbs, and could not exert all the strength of his whole body, he did not have the innate divine power like Ao Lie, and the strength of his arms alone was far from enough to push away the ten wrestlers on his body.

In the midst of Meng Huo's angry roar but helplessness, Dong Dana and Ah Huinan took out the rope from their arms, restrained one of Meng Shu's arms, and then worked together to tie Meng Shu's hands and feet together. The rope they used to bind Meng Shu was not an ordinary rope, but an oil-soaked cow tendon, full of toughness, and extremely strong.

At the same time that Meng Shu was tied up, around the camp of the Southern Barbarians, countless torches suddenly lit up, and under the reflection of the torches, Zhuge Liang sat on the four-wheeled cart with a smile on his face, and Wei Yan and Jiang Wei rode horses on both sides of him. The deputy general Wang Ping appeared in the other direction of the Nanban camp with a partial army, and shouted to the Nanban people in the camp: "Wait and listen: your king has been captured alive by my prime minister again, you immediately put down your weapons and squatted on the ground with your head in your hands, otherwise, Meng Huo's head will not be safe!" ”

As if to confirm Wang Ping's shout, Ah Hui Lan lit the candle flame in Meng Huo's big tent, and Dong Dana stretched out his hand to open the tent of the big tent, so that everyone could see the scene of Meng Huo being tied with his hands and feet tied and thrown on the ground like a pig, and two barbarians under Ah Hui Lan, holding two firewood knives on Meng Shu's neck, as long as they fell slightly, they could cut Meng Shu's throat. Ah Hui shouted loudly to the surroundings: "We have surrendered to the Great Han, and Meng Huo has been captured by us!" Wait for the early fall! ”

After seeing Meng Shu's tragic situation, the third section of the golden ring suddenly felt black in front of him, so he didn't spit out a mouthful of blood, and it was difficult to prevent thieves, and the problem finally came with Dong Dana and Ah Huinan! Although he was angry in his heart, he was helpless at the moment, so he had to drop the fork in his hand and shouted to his subordinates aggrievedly: "Put down your arms, raise your hands and surrender......

After the Golden Ring gave the order, Wang Ping immediately led the partial army to rush into the camp of the Southern Barbarians, and once again collected their weapons and grain and grass; Wei Yan, who was beside Zhuge Liang, came to Meng Shu's big tent single-handedly, and then took Dong Dana and Ah Huinan to press Meng Shu in front of Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang motioned for Wei Yan to take off the hemp rope that was blocked in Meng Shu's mouth, and asked Meng Huo with a smile: "According to the agreement, this government will capture you again within the specified time and the specified number of personnel, are you convinced this time?" ”

Meng Shu moved his mouth, making the sour feeling retreat slightly, and then said: "This king is still not convinced!" The prime minister is provoking internal contradictions within us this time, not by his real skills! Even if the king is cut with a thousand knives, the king is also unconvinced! ”

Zhuge Liang said patiently: "Okay! In this case, you can lead your troops away, and the bet between you and me is still valid, and before tomorrow's hour, this government will definitely capture you again!" ”

Meng Shu raised his head and glanced at Dong Dana and Ah Hui, snorted coldly, and said angrily: "This king's subordinates have these two traitors, the strength between you and me is no longer equal, even if they are captured again, this king will not accept it!" ”

"This is easy, this government will let Dong Dana and Ah Hui Lan return to Nanzhong, and when we fight with you tomorrow, this government will only use 20,000 horses equal to your subordinates, how about it?" Zhuge Liang said nonchalantly.

"If so, the king will be convinced!" Meng Shu said loudly. (To be continued......)
