Chapter 88 The Eighty-seventh Conquest of the Nankou Prime Minister Daxing Division to Resist Heavenly Soldiers and Barbarian Kings First Accepted

But it is said that Prime Minister Zhuge is in Chengdu, and he makes decisions in person, no matter how big or small.The people of the two rivers, Xin Le Taiping, do not close their doors at night, and do not pick up lost things on the road.Fortunately, they have grown up year after year, and the old and young are full of bells and songs, and when they encounter a job, they rush to do it first: therefore, everything used in military equipment is complete; the warehouse is full of rice, and the treasury is full of wealth. In the third year of Jianxing, Yizhou flew a report: Meng Huo, the barbarian king, raised 100,000 barbarians and invaded and plundered the country.Yongkai, the prefect of Jianning, was the descendant of Shifanghou Yongchi in the Han Dynasty, and now he is in rebellion with Meng Huo.Zhu Bao, the prefect of Cang County, and Gao Ding, the prefect of Yuejun County, dedicated the city.Only Wang and his wife, the prefect of Yongchang, refused to rebel.Seeing that Yongkai, Zhu Bao, and Gao Ding's men and horses all joined Meng Huo as the leader of the army, they attacked Yongchang County.Now Wang and his wife and meritorious Cao Lu Kai gathered the common people and defended the city to the death. The situation is very urgent.After Kongming entered the imperial court, the master said: "I see that the southern barbarians are not convinced, which is really a great disaster for the country."The minister should lead his own army and go to conquer.The Empress said: "There is Sun Quan in the east, and Cao Pi in the north: Now my father abandons me and goes away. If Wu and Wei come to attack, what should I do?"Kongming said: "Eastern Wu Fang made peace with our country. It is expected that there will be no disagreement. If there is any disagreement, Li Yan is in Baidi City. This person can be Lu Xun."Cao Pi's new defeat has lost his vigor, and he can't make a long-term plan; and there is Ma Chao guarding various passes in Hanzhong, so there is no need to worry.The minister also left Guan Xing, Zhang Bao and others to divide into two armies for rescue, so as to ensure that His Majesty is safe.This minister first went to mop up the barbarians, and then went to the Northern Expedition to repay the kindness of the late emperor's three visits with the original picture, and to entrust the lonely.The master said: I am young and ignorant, but my father thinks about it.Before the words were finished, a person in the class came out and said: No!No!People look at him as a Nanyang native: surnamed Wang, given name Lian, styled Wenyi;Lian remonstrated: "The barren land in the south is plagued by miasma and epidemics; it is not appropriate for the prime minister to take on the important task of Junheng, and to go on an expedition."Moreover, Yong Kai and others are diseases of scabies. The prime minister only needs to send a general to discuss it, and it will surely succeed.Kongming said: "The land of the southern barbarians is far away from the country. There are many people who are not accustomed to being kings. It is very difficult to subdue them. I will go and conquer them myself."Can be firm or soft, don't think about it, it must be easy to trust someone.

Wang Lian tried to persuade him again and again, but Kong Ming refused.On that day, Kongming resigned from his successor and ordered Jiang Wan to join the army; Fei Yi to be the chief clerk; Dong Jue and Fan Jian to be the clerk; Zhao Yun and Wei Yan to be generals and governors-general; Wang Ping and Zhang Yi to be lieutenants; Bingchuan will have dozens of members.A total of 500,000 soldiers from Sichuan were raised to march forward to Yizhou.Suddenly, Guan Suo, the third son of Guan Gong, joined the army to see Kong Ming and said: "Since the fall of Jingzhou, I fled and recuperated in Baojiazhuang."Every time I want to go to Sichuan to see the late emperor to report to me, the sores are not healed, so I can't start.Nearly recovering from the illness, I found out that all the people in the Eastern Wu Dynasty had been slaughtered. I came to Xichuan to see the emperor.When Kong Ming heard about it, he was very surprised; while sending people to report to the court, he ordered Guan Suo to be the vanguard in the front and march south together.A large group of people and horses, each according to the team.Eat and drink when you are hungry, live at night and travel at dawn: where you pass, there is no crime in autumn.

But Yong Kai heard that Kong Ming had come from the unified army, and discussed with Gao Ding and Zhu Bao that they divided the troops into three groups: Gao Ding took the middle route, Yong Kai was on the left, and Zhu Bao was on the right; enemy.So Gao Ding ordered E Huan to be the front pioneer.Huan was nine feet long and had an ugly face. With a square halberd, he was as brave as a man. He led the soldiers from Dazhai to meet the Shu soldiers. But he said that Kong Ming's army had reached the border of Yizhou.The front vanguard Wei Yan, lieutenants Zhang Yi and Wang Ping just entered the boundary and met Ehuan's army horse.When the two battles faced each other, Wei Yan rode out and cursed: "The traitors have been surrendered early!"E Huan slapped his horse and confronted Wei Yan.After several rounds of fighting, Yan Zha was defeated and Huan came after him.After walking for several miles, the shouting was loud.Zhang Yi and Wang Ping's two armies came to kill them, cutting off their retreat.Reply back.The three generals resisted the battle together, captured E Huan alive, sent him to Dazhai, and met Kong Ming.Kong Ming ordered him to be untied, and treated him with wine and food, and asked, "Who are you as a general?"Huan said, "someone is a general of Gaoding."Kongming said: "I know Gao Ding is a man of loyalty and righteousness, but now he is bewitched by Yong Kai, so he is like this."I will let you go back now, so that the prefect Gao will return early to avoid catastrophe.E Huan thanked him and left.See Gao Ding again and talk about the virtues of Kong Ming.Definitely also grateful.The next day, Yong Kai arrived at the village.After the ceremony, Kai said, "How can I get E Huanhui?"Ding said: Zhuge Liang released it with righteousness.Kai said: "This is Zhuge Liang's countermeasure: He wanted to make the two of us discord, so he used this plan."Believe it or not, I hesitate in my heart.Suddenly it was reported that the general of Shu was going to fight, and Kai led 30,000 soldiers to meet him.After the battle was over, Kai turned his horse and left.Yan led his troops to advance, chasing and killing more than 20 li.The next day, Yong Kai raised his troops to meet him again.Kong Ming didn't leave for three days in a row.On the fourth day, Yongkai and Gaoding divided their troops into two groups to take Shuzhai.

But he said that Kongming ordered Wei Yan to serve in two ways. Sure enough, Yongkai and Gaoding soldiers came, and most of them were killed by ambushes. Countless people were captured alive, and they all came to Dazhai.The people of Yongkai are imprisoned on one side; the people of Gaoding are imprisoned on the other side.But the sergeant rumored: "But Gaoding's people will not die, and Yongkai's people will be killed."All the troops heard this.When he was young, Kong Ming ordered the person who took Yong Kai to come to the tent and asked, "Who are you all following?"All the hypocrites said: Gao Ding's subordinates are also.All the teachings of Kong Ming were saved from death, and they were rewarded with wine and food. They were sent out of Jieshou and returned to the village.Kongming called Gaoding's people to ask again.All the people said: "We are really soldiers under Gaoding."Kong Ming also saved him from death and gave him food and wine; but he threatened to say, "Yong Kai made people surrender today, and I can't bear to offer your lord and Zhu Bao's head as credit for your contribution."You and others are under Gaoding's army. I will let you and others go back, and you must not rebel again.If he is captured again, he will never be forgiven lightly.

Everyone thanked them and left; they returned to the village, went to see Gaoding, and told them they knew about it.Ding Nai secretly sent people to Yongkai stronghold to inquire, but half of the people who were released spoke of Kong Ming's virtues; therefore, most of Yongkai's troops had the heart to submit to Gao Ding.Even so, Gao Ding's heart was not stable, and he ordered another person to come to Kong Ming's stronghold to find out the truth; he was arrested by the ambush army and came to see Kong Ming.Kong Ming deliberately identified himself as Yong Kai's man, called him into the account and asked, "Marshal Ru made an appointment to present the heads of Gao Ding and Zhu Bao. Why did you miss the date?"If you are not meticulous, how can you do it meticulously!The sergeant vaguely agreed.Kong Ming gave it with wine and food, and a secret letter, and the sergeant said: "You hold this book and pay Yongkai, and tell him to start early, so that you don't make mistakes."Xi Zuo thanked him and went away. When he returned to Gao Ding, he presented Kong Ming's book, saying that Yong Kai was so so.After reading the book, he said angrily: I treat him with sincerity, but he wants to harm me instead, which is beyond reason!He called E Huan to discuss.Huan said: "Kong Ming is a benevolent man, and it is ominous to bear it."It is all because of Yong Kai that we conspired to rebel and do evil; it is better to kill Kai to surrender to Kongming.Ding said: How to start?Huan said: "You can set up a table and let people go to invite Yong Kai. If he has no different intentions, he will come calmly; if he doesn't come, he must have different intentions."My lord can attack the front, and a certain person lies in the small road behind the stronghold and waits for him, and Kai can be captured.Gao Ding followed his words and invited Yong Kai for a banquet.Kai Guo doubted the sergeant's words the day before yesterday, so he was afraid and did not come.That night, Gaoding led his troops to kill and throw them into Yongkai stronghold.It turns out that those who were sent back by Kong Ming to save them from death all wanted to be of high virtue and take advantage of the situation to help the war.Yong Kai's army will be in chaos if they don't fight.Kai got on his horse and looked at the mountain road and walked.After walking for two miles, at the sound of drums, a Biao army came out, and it was E Huanye: holding the square halberd, and suddenly the horse took the lead.Yong Kai was caught off guard, and was stabbed by Huan Yi's halberd under the horse, taking his head.All the sergeants under Kai's subordinates were lowered to high ranks.He decided to lead two armies to descend to Kongming and present Yongkai's head under the tent.Kong Minggao sat on the tent, ordered Gaoding to be turned left and right, and beheaded to report.Ding said: "I am grateful for the great kindness of the prime minister. Now I will surrender Yong Kai's head. Why should I behead it?"Kongming laughed and said, "You have come to feign surrender."Dare to hide it from me!Ding said: How does the prime minister know that I have surrendered?Kong Ming took out a seal from the box, and said to Gao Ding: "Zhu Bao has sent a letter of surrender in secret, saying that you and Yong Kai are life and death friends. How can you kill this person immediately?"I know you are deceitful.It must be called Qu and said: Zhu Bao is a countermeasure: the prime minister is absolutely untrustworthy!Kong Ming said: "It's hard for me to rely on one side of the story."If you catch Zhu Bao, you will show your true heart.Ding said: Don't doubt the prime minister.A certain captured Zhu Bao alive and came to see the prime minister, how about it?Kongming said: "If so, my doubts will cease."

Gao Dingzhe led his general E Huan to join his troops and rushed to Zhu Bao's camp.About ten miles away from the village, a Biao army arrived behind the mountain, and it was Zhu Baoye.Seeing Gao Ding's army coming, he hastily answered Gao Ding.Ding Da scolded and said: "How do you write a book and get along with Zhuge Cheng, so that you can harm me with countermeasures?"Bao was dumbfounded and couldn't answer.Suddenly E Huan turned around behind the horse and stabbed Zhu Bao under the horse with a halberd.He said in a stern voice: "Anyone who doesn't go well will be killed!"So all the troops bowed down together.He decided to invite two armies to see Kong Ming and present Zhu Bao's head under the tent.Kongming laughed and said, "I made you kill these two thieves to show your loyalty."So he ordered Gao Ding to be the prefect of Yizhou, and took charge of the three counties; he made Ehuan the general of Ya.The horse of the third route army has been leveled.

So Wang Zhen, the prefect of Yongchang, went out of the city to meet Kong Ming.After Kongming entered the city, he asked, "Who will guard the city with the public to keep it safe?"The husband said: "A certain person who is safe from this county today is all thanks to Yongchang Buwei. His surname is Lu, his first name is Kai, and his style name is Jiping: it is all thanks to his strength."Kongming then invited Lu Kai to come.When Kai came to see him, after the ceremony, Kongming said: "Jiuwen Gong is a high-ranking scholar in Yongchang, thanks to you for guarding this city."If you want to level the barbarian side now, what's your opinion?Lu Kai then took a picture and presented it to Kongming, saying: "Since I have been in office, I have known that the southerners want to rebel for a long time; so I secretly sent people into the territory to inspect the places where the troops can be stationed and fought, and drew a picture called Pingman Zhizhang Picture." .Now dare to offer it to Ming Gong.The Duke of Ming tried to observe it: it can be used as an aid in conquering barbarians.Kong Ming was overjoyed, so he appointed Lv Kai as the marching instructor and also as the instructor.So Kongming raised his troops and went deep into the territory of the southern barbarians.

When I was marching, I suddenly reported that the emperor had sent me a mission.Kongming invited to join the Chinese army, but he saw a man in plain robe and white clothes: Ma Su also died because of his brother Ma Liang, so he was mourning.Su said: "By the order of the Lord, give all the troops wine and silk."After receiving the imperial edict, Kongming dispersed them one by one according to his order, so he left Ma Di in the tent to talk.Kongming asked: "I am obliged by the emperor's edict to flatten the barbarians. I have heard for a long time that young people often have high opinions. I hope to beg for teaching."Su said: "There is a piece of stupid talk, I hope the prime minister will investigate it: the southern barbarians rely on the remote mountains and dangerous places, and have not accepted it for a long time; although they break it today, they will rebel tomorrow."When the prime minister's army arrives there, they will surely be subdued;The way of using soldiers: attacking the heart is the top, attacking the city is the bottom; fighting the heart is the top, fighting with soldiers is the bottom.It is enough for the prime minister to obey his heart.Kongming sighed and said: "you often know my heart and soul enough!"So Kong Ming ordered Ma Di to join the army and command the soldiers to advance.

But Meng Huo, king of the barbarians, heard that Kong Zhiming broke Yongkai and so on, so he gathered the marshals of the three caves to discuss: the first cave is Marshal Jinhuan Sanjie, the second cave is Marshal Dong Dana, and the third cave is Marshal Ahuinan.Marshal Sandong came to see Meng Huo.Huan said: "Now Prime Minister Zhuge leads a large army to invade our realm, so we have to fight against it together."The three of you can divide your troops and advance in three directions.If the winner is the Cave Master.So Jinhuan Sanjie took the middle road, Dong Dana took the left road, and Ah Hui Nan took the right road: each led 50,000 barbarians and followed orders.

But he said that Kong Ming was discussing matters in the stronghold, and suddenly sent a whistle to Ma Fei to report that Marshal Sandong had come in three ways.After Kongming listened, he called Zhao Yun and Wei Yanzhi, but they didn't pay any money; he even called Wang Ping and Ma Zhongzhi, and asked them to say: "Now the barbarians are coming from three directions, and I want to order Zilong and Wenchang to go; these two people I don't know geography, so I dare not use it.Wang Ping can go to the left to meet the enemy, and Ma Zhong can go to the right to meet the enemy.But I sent Zilong and Wenchang to respond later.Rectify the army and horses today, and march tomorrow in Pingming.The two left after listening to the order, and called Zhang Yi and Zhang Yi to pay, saying: "You two lead an army together and go to the middle to meet the enemy."Today, the army horses are on the hour, and we will meet Wang Ping and Ma Zhong in the next day.I wanted Zilong and Wenchang to fetch it, but they didn't know geography, so they didn't dare to use it.Zhang Ni and Zhang Yi listened to the order and went.

When Zhao Yun and Wei Yan saw that Kong Ming didn't use it, they each had a look of resentment.Kongming said, "I will not use you two."But I am afraid that middle-aged people will be involved in danger, and they will be counted by barbarians, and they will lose their vigor.Zhao Yun said: What if we know geography?Kongming said: "You two should only be careful, and don't act rashly."The two retreated in dismay.Zhao Yun asked Wei Yan to come to his village to discuss, saying: We are pioneers, but we refuse to use them because we don't know geography.Wouldn't we be ashamed to use the younger generation now?Yan said: "The two of us will just get on the horse now and go to explore it in person; if we catch the natives, we will teach them to introduce them, and to fight against the barbarians, great things will be accomplished."Yun followed it, so he got on his horse and took the middle road.Fang traveled for a few miles, and saw dust heads rising from a distance.When the two went up the hillside to look, they saw dozens of barbarians coming on horseback.The two rushed out in two ways.When the barbarians saw this, they were frightened and left.Zhao Yun and Wei Yan each captured a few people alive, returned to the village, treated them with wine and food, but asked them carefully.The barbarian soldiers said: "Ahead is Dazhai, Marshal Jinhuan Sanjie, who is at the mountain pass."There are two east and west roads on the edge of the village, but they lead to Wuxi Cave and behind the villages of Dong Dana and Ah Huinan. Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan mobilized five thousand elite soldiers and taught the captured barbarians to lead the way.When the army started, it was already the second watch weather; the moon was shining brightly, so we walked by the moonlight.When I first arrived at Jinhuan Sanjie Dazhai, there were about four watches.The barbarian soldiers start cooking and prepare to fight in the morning.Suddenly Zhao Yun and Wei Yan rushed in, and the barbarians were in chaos.Zhao Yun went straight into the Chinese army, just in time for the Marshal of Jinhuan Sanjie;The rest of the army collapsed.Wei Yan divided his troops into half and copied Dong Dana's village on Wangdong Road.Zhao Yun divided his troops into half and copied Ah Hui's village on Wangxi Road.By the time they reached the barbarian Dazhai, the sky was already clear. Let me first talk about Wei Yan's killing and rushing to Dong Dana's village: Dong Dana heard that there was an army coming after the village, so he led his troops out of the village to resist the enemy.Suddenly there was a shout at the front gate of the village, and the barbarians were in chaos.It turned out that Wang Ping's army and horse had already arrived.After two flanking attacks, the barbarians were defeated.Dong Dana took the road and escaped, Wei Yan couldn't catch up. But it is said that when Zhao Yun led his troops to the back of A Hui's stronghold, Ma Zhong had already killed to the front of the stronghold.After two flanking attacks, the barbarians were defeated.Ah Hui ran away in disorder, each withdrew his troops, and went back to Kongming.Kongming asked: "Three cave barbarians, the master of the two caves, where is the head of the Marshal of the Golden Ring and Three Knots?"Zhao Yun will dedicate his head.Everyone said: "Dong Dana and Ah Hui Nan both abandoned their horses and went across the mountains, so they couldn't catch up with him."Kongming laughed and said, "I have captured the two of you."Zhao, Wei and all the generals did not believe it.In a short time, Zhang Ni arrived with Dong Dana, and Zhang Yi explained Ah Hui.Everyone was surprised.Kongming said: "I have seen Lu Kai's picture book, and I know the stockades that each of them went to, so I used my words to stimulate the spirit of Zilong and Wen Chang, so I taught them to go deep into the important places, first break the three knots of the golden ring, and then divide the troops around the stockade and then copy it out. Ping and Ma Zhong responded.Fei Zilong and Wen Chang cannot take up this post.I guessed that Dong Dana and A Huinan would go to the mountain road from then on, so Zhang Yi and Zhang Yi were sent to wait for them in ambush, and Guan Suo was sent to meet them with soldiers, and they were captured.All the generals bowed down and said: "The prime minister's calculation is unpredictable!" Kong Ming ordered Dong Dana and A Huinan to be escorted to the tent, remove all their shackles, and give them wine, food and clothes; order each of them to return to the cave and not be helped by evil.The two cried and worshiped, and each went to the path.Kong Ming said to the generals, "In the future, Meng Huo will lead his troops to fight in person, and then he can be captured here."He then called Zhao Yun and Wei Yanzhi to give advice and lead five thousand soldiers each.He also called Wang Ping and Guan Suo to lead an army together and leave with instructions.Kong Ming has finished allocating, so he sits on the tent and waits for it. But Meng Huo, king of the barbarians, was sitting in his tent. Suddenly, the sentry horse reported that the Marshal Sandong had been captured by Kongming, and all his soldiers were scattered.Huo was furious, so the barbarians marched meanderingly, and met Wang Ping's army horse.When the two battles faced each other, Wang Ping looked at them with a horizontal sword: he saw the gate flag opened, and hundreds of Nanman cavalry opened the two positions.In the middle, Meng Huo rode a horse with a purple gold crown inlaid on his head, a red brocade robe with tassels, a jade lion belt around his waist, and green boots with eagle beaks on his feet. Looking back at the barbarian generals on the left and right, he said: People always say that Zhuge Liang is good at using soldiers; looking at this formation today, the banners and flags are chaotic, and the teams are intertwined;If I had known this earlier, I would have been against it for a long time.Who dares to capture the general of Shu to boost the army's prestige?Before he finished speaking, a general came out in response, called Busy Yachang; he used a big knife to cut off his head, and rode a yellow puma horse to take Wang Ping.The two generals clashed, and Wang Ping left after the battle was short.Meng Huo drove his troops forward and chased after him.Guan Suo left after a little battle, retreating about 20 miles.While Meng Huo was chasing and killing him, suddenly there was a loud cry, Zhang Yi was on the left, Zhang Yi was on the right, and the two soldiers rushed out, cutting off the way back.Wang Ping and Guan Suo returned to fight back.Attacking back and forth, the barbarians were defeated.Meng Huoyin's generals were able to escape in a deadly battle, and fled looking at Jindai Mountain.The three-way soldiers behind him chased and killed the future.While Huozheng was running, there was a loud shout in front of him, and a Biao army stopped him: the leader is Changshan Zhao Zilong.When he saw it, he was shocked and hurried to the Jindaishan path.Zilong rushed for a while, the barbarians were defeated, and countless people were captured alive.Meng Huozhi rushed into the valley with dozens of cavalry, and the pursuers were close behind. The road ahead was narrow and the horses could not walk, so he abandoned the horses and fled across the mountains.Suddenly there was a drum sound in the valley: it was Wei Yan who, following Kong Ming's strategy, led five hundred infantry troops to lie down here.Meng Huo couldn't resist the enemy and was captured alive by Wei Yan.All descend from riding. Wei Yan sent Meng Huo to Dazhai to meet Kong Ming.Kong Ming had already slaughtered cattle and horses, and held a banquet in the stronghold; but he taught seven layers of encirclement hands to line up in the tent, with knives, guns, swords and halberds, as bright as frost and snow; The imperial forest army was lined up in a very strict order.Kong Ming sat on the tent and saw the barbarians fighting one after another, and there were countless soldiers.Kongming called him to the tent, removed all his restraints, and said, "you are all good people. Unfortunately, you were detained by Meng Huo, and you are frightened now."I think your parents, brothers, and wives will lean on the door and look at them; if they hear that they are defeated, they will cut their stomachs and hurt their intestines, and their eyes will bleed.I will let you all go back now, so as to reassure everyone's parents, brothers, and wives.After speaking, each of them will be sent to each other with wine, food and rice.The barbarian soldiers felt their kindness deeply and left in tears.Kongming ordered the soldiers to escort Meng Huolai.When not moving, push forward and embrace, and tie to the front of the tent.Knelt under the tent.Kongming said: "The late emperor treated you well, how dare you betray him?"Huo said: "The land of the two rivers is occupied by others; your lord relies on taking it by force and proclaims himself emperor."I have lived here all my life, and you are rude and invade my land: what is rebellion?Kongming said: "I am arresting you now, are you convinced?"Huo said: "The mountain is secluded and the road is narrow. How can you accept it if you accidentally fall into your hands?"Kongming said: "If you are not convinced, I will let you go. How about it?"Huan said: "You let me go back, and then organize the army and horses, and decide the male and female together; if you can capture me again, I will obey you."Kong Ming ordered to remove his shackles, put on his clothes, give him wine and food, and give him a pommel horse. He sent people to send out the path to look at the village.It's exactly: Kou entered the palm and let it go, but the human settlement failed to surrender.I don't know how to fight again, let's see the breakdown below. ① A barren land where grains cannot be grown.
