Guanghuan two knots two old queens. Li Hui said with a smile! In the public, it is deleted to subdue those barbarians who are not convinced, and on the other hand, it can divide the barbarians. In this way, the southern barbarians should be pacified soon." Zhang Xiu listened, smiled and nodded.

At this time, Li Ru spoke: "My lord, the rebellion of the Southern Barbarians is not only the barbarians who are not convinced, but also some powerful people in the South who are not convinced by the lord and take advantage of the chaos to raise troops. Now Jianning is too guarded by Yongtian, colluding with Yue Song to guard Gaoding, Qunjian is too guarded by Zhu Bao, and attack Yongchang County. Now Yongchang County is in danger, and Yongchang has sent several letters of help and Confucianism before defending the king's hatred, hoping that Chengdu will send troops to rescue him as soon as possible. ”

This Yongchang County is in the southwesternmost part of Yizhou, and the roads here are more difficult to navigate than those from Chengdu to Zhuti, and they are all mountain roads. Zhang Xiu opened the map and found that this place was the westernmost part of Yunnan Province plus the northern part of Myanmar before the crossing, and there was only a Naga mountain range between it and India.

After Zhang Xiu heard this, he touched his chin and said, "This Yongchang County must be saved." He turned to ask Li Rudao, "Wen Wei, these three counties are too guarded and chaotic, how many troops are there?"

Li Rumo calculated for a moment and said, "The three counties add up, there are at least 100,000

Zhang Xiu pouted when he heard it, the 100,000 army said it well, and there are probably only a few people who really have combat power, and these troops are even worse than the yellow scarves more than 20 years ago. However, Zhang Xiu's side is also mainly recruits, thinking that the road from Zhu to Yongchang County is difficult, which is also a rare training for recruits, so he said: "Righteousness, by you in command, lead an army of 50,000 to enter Yuesong County first, smash Gaoding's nest, and then lead the army straight into Yongchang." But Yuesong County is in the north of Yongchang County and the west of Zhu Ti, from Zhu Ti to Yongchang will definitely pass through Yue Song County, naturally it is the trend to smash Gaoding's nest.

Zhang Ren was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately stepped out and said: "My lord, rest assured, Ren will calm down this chaos." After finishing speaking, he said with some worry: "Ren led the army of 50,000, and the lord only has 70,000 left, and I am afraid that the troops are a little insufficient to fight with the barbarians."

Zhang Xiu heard this, and laughed and said: "Righteous and rest assured, there are many talents here, why were you afraid of those barbarians." but righteousness. Although there are many troops, but there are few people Speaking of this, Zhang Xiu immediately ordered: "Yang Huai, Gao Pei, and you will assist in righteousness to go to Yongchang." Dong Yun, you follow the righteous army, responsible for the logistics of grain and grass, the road in Yongchang is difficult, and you must not relax on the grain and grass! ”

Yang Huai, Gao Pei, and Dong Yun could hear it. Immediately nodded in agreement. Zhang Ren, Yang Huai, and Gao Pei were originally Shu generals, and it was not much of a problem to cooperate with him again at this time. It was Dong Yun, who heard that Zhang Xiu had entrusted such a small burden to him, and knew that Zhang Xiu intended to train him, but he was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly said: "General, rest assured, Yun will live up to the high expectations of the general!" ”

At this time, Zhang Xiu turned his head to look at Xiao Deng Ai and said, "Shizai, you have read a lot of military books and war strategies during this time, but you can go with Second Uncle Ru." It's good to exercise, don't just be a person who talks on paper. When Deng Ai heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, master!" ”

Zhang Xiu turned his head and said to Zhang Ren: "Righteousness, take care of Shizai more during this time." ”

Zhang Ren heard this, smiled and arched his hand: "Shi Zai is the first apprentice among the three of our senior brothers, and Ren will definitely take care of it."

Zhang Xiu heard it and laughed: "Yes." Shizai, Uncle Ru San accepted the Jiang family's kid as an apprentice before, you are the first apprentice, and you are older than him. Don't let that kid catch up

Deng Ai could hear it. Nodding heavily, "Master, please put it" Don't worry! Although he stammered, his tone was firm and believable.

At this time, a childish voice suddenly sounded: "General, I also want to go with Shizai!" ”

Zhang Xiu looked for prestige and found that it was Zhong Hui who spoke. Zhang Xiu knew that this little guy was the oldest among the children, and his plans were generally made by Jia Mu and Li Han. Now there is one more Lu Xun, and the little guy basically has no place to stand. At this time, Deng Ai, who was about the same age as him, followed Zhang Ren, and the little guy decided to follow him with him.

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he said to Zhang Ren: "In this way, there will be labor justice." Zhang Ren knew that Zhang Xiu valued these little guys very much, so he also nodded and agreed.

After working for most of the night, the time was not early, and after Zhang Xiu announced the end of the meeting, everyone went to rest. Early the next morning, Zhang Ren led a large army to leave Zhuti City and head west.

Zhang Xiu sent people to investigate, and found that Meng Shu did not lead the troops to attack, but instead retreated to the south bank of Hushui after converging the army, and formed a large village as a precaution.

After Zhang Xiu heard this, he smiled and said to everyone: "This barbarian has poor skills, so he can only defend it." Let's wait! The crowd listened in unison.

There is a distance from Zhu to Hushui, and Zhang Xiu's 70,000 troops marched, many of which were mountain roads, and the advance speed was not fast. When Zhang Xiu's army arrived on the north bank of the Shanghai River, it was already summer.

During the period when Meng Shu was in Hushui Village, he recruited back the barbarian soldiers who were put back by Zhang Xiu, and at the same time sent people to the cave of the three people of Jinhuan Sanjie to recruit three people to lead the troops. The three of them were originally reluctant to come, but they were afraid of Meng Shu's might, so they reluctantly led the army to Dehushui.

Meng obtained nearly 100,000 barbarian soldiers, and built an earthen city on the south bank of the river, with deep ditches and high fortifications, and defended them tightly, waiting for Zhang Xiu's army.

After Zhang Xiu arrived at the Hushui, he led the generals to look at the defense facilities of Meng Shu on the other side. After Li Hui saw this, he was shocked: "This barbarian is so tightly defended? After thinking about it, he said: "Lord, this kind of camp should not be attacked by force, and it is better to outwit it!" ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, smiled and asked, "What is De'ang's plan?"

Li Hui pondered for a moment and said, "I should have been really convinced when I looked at the Golden Ring Three Knots and others before. Now they are all in Meng Huo's camp, but I am afraid that they are afraid of Meng Huo's power and dare not come.

The lord can send someone to secretly marry the three of them, thinking that they should be guilty. ”

Li Ru heard this, nodded and said, "Lord Xiao De'ang's plan is feasible. However, it is not enough to have internal needs, and we need to create opportunities for them. ”

Zhang Xiu heard it and laughed: "This matter is easy! The barbarian earth city seems to be strong, but it is difficult to defeat our army's thunderbolts! The general has a thunderbolt blueprint in his hand, there are many mountains and forests near here, since the barbarians dare not cross the water to attack, just 50,000 troops will start. Build a thunderbolt to break the earth. In this way, they can do it! Youchang, this matter is supervised by you, and Deang sent someone to find them in the Golden Ring

Ma eased and Li Hui listened, and at the same time promised. After that, the two immediately went their separate ways, Ma slowly organized a large army to go up the mountain to cut down wood and quarry, and build a thunderbolt cart, while Li Hui took advantage of the night to send people across the Shanghai River to meet the Jinhuan Sanjie and them.

In less than five days, "Chuan Wang prepared twenty thunderbolts, and in addition, he had a giant residence Minglian" Bing Li Hui had also made contact with the three people of Jinhuan Sanjie, and they should all act as internal responses.

After the horse was handed over the order, Zhang Xiu ordered someone to push all twenty thunderbolt carts to the edge of the Shanghai water. This time, because it was fast, the thunderbolts built were simplified. At the same time, since the boulders were mainly used to break through the earthen castle, they did not go through too much polishing, and only moved the huge stones down from the mountain.

Looking at the twenty thunderbolts lined up in front of him, the corners of Zhang Xiu's mouth turned up slightly. At this time, Lu Xun suddenly came to Zhang Xiu and arched his hand: "General, it is daytime, the sun is very fierce, why don't you wait for the cold weather at night to attack!" ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, and asked puzzledly: "Why did Bo Yan say this?" ”

Lu Xun said: "When Xun was in Jiangdong, I heard that when Wu Hou first sent troops to deal with Shanyue, there were a lot of miasma in those places, and the poisonous gas would rise and gather during the day. Even the stream will be attached to the poisonous gas, and the heat will be more abundant at this time. And in this southern and central land, the poisonous gas is more abundant than the mountain. Although this Shanghai water is wide, I am afraid that there will be no less poisonous gas. Even if we use a thunderbolt to break the city of Menghutu, we will not be able to cross the river

Zhang Xiu frowned when he heard this, attacking Nanzhong, but Meng Shu was not worried, the biggest trouble was these poisonous water miasma, and if he was not careful, he would be in big trouble. So Zhang Xiu ordered the Perak convoy to stop temporarily, and then sent people to the vicinity to invite some local people down the mountain to reward them with wine and food. In the end, he asked a young native to answer, this water is indeed poisonous during the day, and only at night is fine. After hearing this, Zhang Xiu secretly blamed himself for being careless, if it wasn't for Lu Xun's reminder this time, he was afraid that he would lose a lot of morale. At the same time, he is also secretly afraid of himself, if he goes deeper into Nanzhong, there will only be more strange things of the barbarians, and he must not be careless.

After the sky darkened, Zhang Xiu asked Tai Shixiang and Pang Hui to command all twenty thunderbolt cars to be pushed in front of Hushui. It was the first time for the two of them to command these extremely lethal weapons, and they were very excited, and the rest of them gathered behind the thunderbolt to watch the scene of the stone.

Pang Hui was even more anxious than Tai Shixiang, clenched his small fists excitedly, and shouted: "The first team listens to the order, launch!" ”

"Huhuhuhu"

Pang Hui gave an order, and the five thunderbolts were shipwrecked, and the five boulders flew directly over the Shanghai water after being thrown, and smashed the wall of the earthen city built by Meng Huo, making a "boom." The loud bang.

Seeing this, Tai Shi Xiang also waved his hand excitedly and shouted: "Third team, launch."

"Huhu Ping" rumbles

After witnessing the power of the thunderbolt car launching the boulder, Pang Hui and Tai Shixiang rushed to one of the thunderbolt cars in unison, held the launch rope under the thunderbolt car, and pulled forward with all their might!

"Hoohoo Woo Woo Dian ,"

Ten boulders flew across the water at the same time and smashed the earthen city wall. After the boulder was exhausted, it fell straight into the Shanghai water, and then issued a "poof." There was a loud noise, causing countless splashes. The two cheered excitedly, and returned to their command positions to urge the soldiers to fire boulders at the earthen walls opposite.

And the camp of Meng Huo behind the earthen city wall on the opposite side, at this time, watching the solid earthen city wall being bombarded by the boulders repeatedly, gradually crumbling, all the barbarians were shocked. And some unknown barbarians in the camp heard this sound like a thunderbolt in the world, and watched the earthen city wall gradually crack from behind, and thought that the heavenly thunder god had descended to punish them against the Han heavenly soldiers, and they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

At this time, Meng Huo, who was asleep, had already woken up, and when he heard such a loud noise, as well as the panic of the barbarians in the camp, he secretly said that something was wrong in his heart. Immediately summoned the general who arrived later, and ordered: "You will lead a team of men and horses, quickly go and find out what is going on, if the Han attack immediately!" The busy tooth chief heard it, and answered the order and left.

After the busy teeth were gone, Meng Shu grabbed the guards and asked, "Where are the three of them?"

When the guard heard this, he hurriedly said, "They are drinking in the back!" ”

Meng Huo was furious when he heard this, they were still drinking with such a loud voice, where could Meng Huo endure it, and led a few guards to hurry to the back village.

And the guards of the Golden Ring Three Knots saw Meng Shu coming, and they didn't dare to stop it, so they hurriedly got out of the way. However, these guards intercepted the troop vehicle that Meng Shu had received. Meng Shu was angry at this time, and he couldn't care about this, so he rushed into the tent alone.

As soon as I entered the account, I thought it was not good. The three of them did not drink alcohol at all, but sat upright inside the big tent and looked at themselves. And all around are axemen. Seeing this, Meng Yu immediately turned around and went out of the tent, but he didn't expect that the outside of the tent had been surrounded by the knives and axes of Jinhuan Sanjie and others, and the entire Houzhai was surrounded.

Meng was stunned, and asked in a condensed voice, "How dare the three of you betray this king?" ”

The three knots of the golden ring arched his hand and said, "It's not that we want to carry the king, it's really the Han general who has a saying, and he treats my people like Qiang people." The king also heard from those merchants that the life of the Qiang people in Liangzhou was very good, and in order to let the clansmen live like this, he hoped that the king would lead the clansmen to surrender to the Han people. And the general of the Han people also said, let the king Yongzhen Nanban! ”

Dong Dana and Ah Hui hurriedly said: "King, this Han general is not bad, he treats me sincerely, why don't you surrender."

Meng Shu heard this, snorted heavily, and said, "Do you also believe the rhetoric of the Han people? Quickly withdraw the siege and follow the king to fight back the Han people, and the king will not blame the past."

Hearing this, Jinhuan Sanjie glanced at Dong Dana and Ah Huimu, and nodded at the same time. I only heard the golden ring Sanjie shouting: "Come on, take Meng Shu down!" ”

The people who surrounded Meng Shu were all cronies of the three people, and after hearing this, they pounced together. The three of them were also afraid that Meng Huo would be brave and would escape on their own, so the three of them also joined the battle group and besieged Meng Huo.

And when Meng was besieged, the earthen wall in front of Hushui had been broken by thunderbolts. The collapse of the earthen city wall buried the defenses behind it, causing many casualties to the barbarians. Ma Qiu, who asked Zhang Xiu for the position of pioneer, saw that the earthen city wall had collapsed, and hurriedly shouted: "Soldiers, the time has come to cross the river, follow the generals to kill them!" After Ma Qiu finished speaking, he immediately grabbed the raft carried by several guards next to him, threw it into the water, and then jumped on the raft. When the guards saw this, they immediately followed and rowed the raft for Ma Qiu. When the army heard this, they also threw the raft into the water and crossed the river on the raft to kill it.
