Chapter 57 Yun Chu discusses the seven captures of Meng Shu

In March, Lin Mang seemed to have woken up from his deep sleep, yawning, stretching his waist, and wantonly announcing to the world that he had woken up with rain after rain.

Yun Chu couldn't figure out why Zhuge Liang had to cross the Lushui in May.

Isn't it good to spend the lushui in the cool autumn of November?

At this time, the miasma, poisonous insects will restrain their wanton behavior, Lin Mangzhong is not so hot and humid, and it is definitely not a good choice to enter the southwest Lin Mang in the summer of May, and when the heavy rain is pouring at every turn.

In the southwest, 60 to 70 percent of the annual rainfall will fall, and between November and March of the following year, the rainfall will only be 20 percent of the annual rainfall.

A torrential rain in the jungle is far more dangerous than a torrential rain on the plains, and God knows when and where a river will appear, and God knows if it will suddenly divert course. These uncertain factors are the taboos of marching and fighting.

Zhuge Liang, who was able to borrow the east wind and burn Cao Cao's million-strong army, had no reason not to understand this truth.

So, why did Zhuge Liang cross the Lushui in May? also wrote this matter on the "Teacher Table" to show his hard work?

Yun Chu, a person with the thinking of later generations, couldn't figure it out, so he said to Li Si, a native of the Tang Dynasty: "Why did Zhuge Liang cross the Lushui in May?" 「

Li Sihu slapped his big eyes a few times and shook his head to show that he didn't know.

"Why didn't Zhuge Liang use elephants to open the way after entering the southwest? "

Li Si continued to fan those ignorant big eyes, shook his head without any sense of shame, and said, "I don't know." "

"What do you know? "

"After I go home, I will marry Meiyuer, and I will get married after three media and six certificates next year, and give birth to a baby the year after tomorrow. "

Yun Chu said regretfully: "It's okay, it's not easy to know this." "

Li Si said shamelessly: "The most important thing in our family is smart people, I deliberately became stupid, and I can attract more love, is there anything wrong?" "

Yun Chu nodded and said, "That's right, you're very smart." "

Just as the master and apprentice were talking, a dark cloud drifted from afar, and then heavy rain poured down.

Such a heavy rain is not something like a tent that can withstand it, so Yun Chu, Li Si, and Zhang Donghai all entered a newly repaired bamboo building.

Heavy raindrops hit the thatched roof of the bamboo building, like beating a drum, and on the ground outside the bamboo building, it became a pond in a moment.

Li Si suddenly said to Yun Chu: "Aya, is the reason why Zhuge Liang crossed the Lushui in May because there is a lot of rain at this time, and the barbarians are hiding in caves or bamboo buildings, and when the time comes, they will be wiped out?" "

Yun Chu was ashamed and silent, but Zhang Donghai complimented on the side: "Her Royal Highness the princess is really ice and snow smart. "

Li Si smiled: "I have always been smart. "

Yun Chu turned his gaze to the distant mountains and found a very strange phenomenon, this heavy rain was actually ribbon-shaped, and the place where there was rain was only their part, and the distant mountains seemed to be still sunny.

Li Si noticed Aya's movements, and naturally discovered this natural phenomenon, and then drew inferences from one another: "Zhuge Wuhou is familiar with astronomy and geography, climate and astrology, and knows where it will rain and where it will not rain.

In order to shut up Li Si, Yun Chu sighed and said, "Under the torrential rain, Yun Jin, who raided the Barbarian Dragon Cave, had a hard time. "

When Li Si heard this, he immediately lost the mind to speak.

Zhang Donghai said: "The Barbarian Dragon Cave is the most ferocious tribe in the southwest, and the sons of the world are them."

Yun Chu said lightly: "The patriarch of the Barbarian Dragon Cave is brutal by nature, good at fighting, and very easy to deal with, Yun Jin and they should be able to deal with it." "

Zhang Donghai said: "That's not what the staff general said, they said that the terrain on the side of the Barbarian Dragon Cave is dangerous, with a lot of miasma and evil springs, and it is not suitable for the brigade to enter." Yun Chu said: "The terrain is dangerous, and the place with many miasma and evil springs must be poor, and that's it."

It is poor, so they don't value people's lives, and they often open the killing ring for a little profit. Therefore, the advantages of the Barbarian Dragon Cave are obvious, and similarly, the disadvantages of the Manlong Cave are also very obvious.

After the battle of Changchuan, Yun Jin and the others should become cautious, and defeating the Barbarian Dragon Cave is equivalent to opening the door to Cangshan and Erhai. "

"In this way, the marshal asked Zhuge Wuhou why he crossed Lu in May, just to ask, after the hot weather, there are many dangers in the Barbarian Dragon Cave, and the vigilance of the Barbarian Dragon can be reduced as much as possible, and it is easy to be broken by the Shizi and their schemes? "

Yun Chu sighed and said: "The most lacking thing for Zhuge Wuhou to pacify the southwest is actually time, if he enters the southwest in November like us, when he occupies the sky, then the southwest barbarians will not fight with him, and will hide in Lin Mang in one go, so that Wuhou's army will be empty."

In this way, pacifying the southwest is not something that can be effective in a short period of time.

What's more, at that time, the alliance between Western Shu and Eastern Wu had broken down, and Cao Wei was even more eyeing Hanzhong and Shuzhong, and he could not allow him to stay in the southwest with a large army for a long time.

Only when the time and place are favorable, and the people are not on Wuhou's side, will the southwestern barbarians have some thoughts of fighting against the Shu army.

After Meng Shu was captured, Wu Hou was there

At this time, if Meng Huo, who returned to the barbarians, hid with forbearance and humiliation, he would inevitably be looked down upon by the rest of the barbarian chiefs, and his status as a barbarian king would inevitably be lost.

If Meng Huo wants to keep his position as the barbarian king, he must have a hearty victory. "

Zhang Donghai said: "In the first few failures, it can be said that Meng Shu was in a hurry to achieve success, and after successive failures, it can't be said, right?" "

Yun Chu sighed and said, "You also underestimate Meng Shu too much. To be able to become a barbarian king naturally has his own set of means, the first few battles, just look at the employment of either his wife, younger brother, or his wife's brother and other henchmen, it can be said that he is really for victory.

Wuhou is also a wonderful person, every time he kills Meng Huo's subordinates, but he puts his wife, younger brother, and brother-in-law back alive, just to appease Meng Huo's heart.

After several failures, the loss of troops and the loss of generals, and the power was greatly reduced, even if Meng Shu was tough, at this time, he had to follow Zhuge Wuhou's wishes, but also for his status as a barbarian king, to lure the rest of the big forces in the southwest into Wuhou.

In the next few battles, Meng Shu may use the position of the barbarian king as a bait to coax the Fang Ding army, the king of Mulu, and the vine armor soldiers to attack one by one, and these people were all buried in the hands of Zhuge Wuhou, which can be called a place where there is no place to be buried.

The powerful tribal forces were wiped out by Wuhou, Meng won the position of the barbarian king as stable as Mount Tai, and most importantly, Zhuge Wuhou also achieved his goal of quickly pacifying the southwest. Poor southwest heroes, Meng Yu, a traitor, Zhuge Wuhou, a yin man, died in the pit without a whole body.

However, after the death of these people, Zhuge Wuhou and Meng Shu staged a reunion drama of bearing the guilt of Jing and pleading guilty, and Zhuge Wuhou shook the southwest, resulting in no heroes to praise here for hundreds of years. "

Zhang Donghai listened to Yun Chu's analysis, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "The last general thinks that the means of the marshal to pacify the southwest this time are comparable to those of Zhuge Wuhou. "

Yun Chu looked at Zhang Donghai's eyes and said: "No, I don't say this to you to praise me, but to tell you a truth, a stupid person like you shouldn't lead the troops to fight, let alone figure out the mind of the marshal, and say anything to the court." "

Zhang Donghai opened his mouth for a moment, and immediately said, "There's nothing special." "

Yun Chu said: "Yun Jin, they shouldn't have appeared on the secret music. "

Zhang Donghai thumped his chest and said: "If you don't say that eight hundred and ten thousand enemies have won such a big victory, what can you say?" "

Yun Chu looked at Zhang Donghai's aggrieved appearance, sighed hatefully, and once again remembered that when he was gentle and gave him a deputy general, there should not be a bed bug hidden in a plate of delicious melon seeds.

The emperor's health was even worse than Yun Chu expected, Sun Shenxian was invited by the emperor to see a doctor twice in the days he left Chang'an, and in Sun Shenxian's opinion, the emperor's health was getting worse and worse

At this time, Yun Jin and they should not have appeared in the emperor's field of vision at all, even if they appeared,

It must also be mediocre, the better their performance, the more unstable the Yun clan will be after returning to Chang'an.

Zhang Donghai secretly glanced at Yun Chu's face, and whispered: "Dashuai, the last general sees that Pi Luo Pavilion has almost recovered, isn't it time to let him go back to the Barbarian Dragon Cave?" "

Yun Chu glanced at Zhang Donghai and said, "Where can the loss of qi and blood recover so quickly? "

Zhang Donghai said: "The last general saw this guy secretly dancing the knife. "

Yun Chu pondered for a moment and said, "Then put it back, the target is the Barbarian Dragon Cave." "

Zhang Donghai said again: "Shicheng has scared the courage of the prince in the first battle, and the planer has sent a petition form, and the last general thought that he should send a messenger to order the infant to contribute grain and straw to the prince and the others." "

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "There's no need, the Fu clan is already among the killings." "

Zhang Donghai said in surprise: "There are now 100,000 people under the prince, if you don't supply them with food and grass, how can you concentrate on fighting?" "

Yun Chu stretched out his hand, the heavy rain outside the bamboo building had stopped, and a rainbow hung brightly in the sky, which was beautiful.

Zhang Donghai saw that Yun Chu didn't speak, so he patted his forehead and said: "I understand, the rogues have to be hungry, and the rogues who are not hungry should call the officers and soldiers, and then the commander, and hope that all these people will die in battle."

Yun Chu didn't speak, but Li Si had already walked out of his worries and yelled at the outside of the bamboo building: "He Zhao, He Zhao"

Yun Chu looked at Li Sidao and said, "What are you calling him for?" "

Li Sidao: "The palace wants him to immediately ask Aya to bring his subordinates and go to Ah Jin to listen to it." "

Yun Chu said with a cold face: "It's indispensable." "

Li Si gritted his teeth and said, "If he doesn't go, I'll let him go to Beihai to raise sheep for forty years!" "
