Chapter 89 Eighty-eighth round of crossing Lushui and then binding Fan Wang Shi to surrender three times to capture Meng Huo

But he said that Kong Ming had let Meng Huo go, and all the generals went up to the account and asked, "Meng Huo is the leader of the Nanman Qu. Fortunately, he was captured today, and the South is convenient. Why did the prime minister let him go?"Kongming said with a smile: "I captured this man like an ear in a bag."It is necessary to subdue his heart, and it will naturally be calm.When all the generals heard the words, they were not willing to believe them. That day when Meng Huo was traveling to Lushui, he met some of his defeated and disabled barbarians, and they all came to look for them.When all the soldiers saw Meng Huo, they were surprised and delighted, and asked, "how can the king be hooked back?"Huo said: "The Shu people imprisoned me in the tent, and I killed more than ten people, and they left in the dark."When I was walking, I met a horse army at the post, and I killed it and took the horse: so I got rid of it.Everyone was overjoyed, they supported Meng Huo to cross the Lu River, went down to the gate of the village, gathered the chiefs of the caves, and successively recruited the barbarians who had been released, about more than 100,000 cavalry.At this time Dong Dana and Ah Hui Nan were already in the cave.Meng Huo sent someone to invite them, but the two were afraid, so they had to invite Dong soldiers to come too.The order was sent to say: "I know Zhuge Liang's plan, and I can't fight with him. If I fight, I will fall into his tricks."The other Sichuan army came from far away to work hard, and the weather was so hot that the sun and the sky were scorching. How could the other soldiers stay for a long time?We have the danger of the Lu River, so we will hold all the boats and rafts on the south bank, and build earthen cities around the area, with deep ditches and high fortifications. Let's see how Zhuge Liang will plan.All the chiefs followed their plan, and built an earthen city along the south bank with all boats and rafts: there are places close to the mountains and cliffs, and enemy towers are erected high;Grain and grass are all for transportation in each cave.Meng Huo thought it was a surefire strategy, so he was calm and not worried.

But it is said that Kongming raised his troops and advanced, and the former army had reached Lushui. The sentry horse flew to report that there were no boats and rafts in Lushui; Bundle.It was May, and the weather was hot, and the southern land was extremely hot, so I couldn't wear military horse armor.After Kongming had finished watching from the Lushui River, he returned to the stronghold, gathered all the generals in the tent, and sent an order saying: "Today, Meng Huo's troops are stationed in the south of the Lushui River, with deep ditches and high fortifications, to resist our soldiers; how can I raise my troops so far?" back?Each of you leads your troops, and by the mountains and trees, you choose a place with lush forests, and I will rest your troops and horses.So Lu Kai was sent a hundred miles away from Lushui to choose a shady place and divide it into four villages; Wang Ping, Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi, and Guan Suo each guarded a village, and built grass sheds inside and outside to cover the horses, and the soldiers could enjoy the shade. To escape the heat.Jiang Wan, who joined the army, looked at it, and asked Kong Ming, saying: "Someone thinks that the stronghold built by Lu Kai is not good: it is a violation of the situation when the former emperor was defeated by Soochow."If the barbarians sneak across the Lu River and come to rob the stronghold, if they attack with fire, how can they be rescued?Kongming said with a smile: "don't be suspicious, sir: I have my own plan."Jiang Wan and others didn't know what it meant.

Suddenly it was reported that Ma Dai was sent from the middle of Shu to relieve the heat, and the medicine and rice had arrived.Kong Ming ordered to enter.After Dai's visit, he distributed the rice medicine to the four villages.Kongming asked, "How many troops are you bringing here?"Ma Dai said: There are three thousand troops.Kongming said: "Our army is exhausted from battles. If you want to use your army, I don't know if you will move forward?"Dai said: "They are all imperial court soldiers and horses. How can we distinguish them from each other?"The prime minister wants to use it, even if he dies.Kong Ming said: "Now Meng Huo refuses to live in the Lu River, and there is no way to cross it."I want to cut off his food supply first, so that the other army will be in chaos.Dai said: "How to judge?"Kongming said: "One hundred and fifty miles away from here, the Liusand Mouth is under the Lu River. The water here is slow and you can use a raft to cross it."You mentioned that the 3,000 troops of our headquarters crossed the water and went straight into the man cave, cut off their food first, and then joined the two cave masters Dong Dana and A Huinan, and they were the internal response, there must be no mistake.

Ma Dai went happily, led the troops to Shakou, and drove them across the water. Seeing that the water was shallow, most of them didn't get off the raft, but passed by naked, and fell halfway across the river.Ma Dai was shocked and reported to Kongming overnight.Kong Ming then summoned the natives to ask him.The natives said: "It's hot today, the poison gathers in Lushui, it's very hot during the day, and the poisonous gas is coming out."If someone crosses the water, he will be poisoned.Or drink this water, the person will die.If you want to cross the time, you have to wait until the night is quiet, the water is cold, the poisonous gas cannot be removed, and you can cross it with a full meal before nothing will happen.Kong Ming then ordered the natives to lead the way; he also selected five or six hundred elite troops to follow Ma Dai to Lushui Shakou, set up a raft, and cross the water in the middle of the night: nothing happened.Dai led 2000 strong troops and asked the natives to lead the way to Jiashan Valley, the main grain transportation intersection of Mandong.That Jiashan Valley: There are two mountains at the bottom, and there is a road in the middle, which only allows one person and one horse to pass by.Ma Dai occupied Jiashan Valley, allocated soldiers, and erected fences.Dongman didn't know that when Zhengjie's grain arrived, he was stopped by Dai front and back, and more than a hundred carts of grain were seized.The barbarians reported to Menghuo Dazhai.

At this time Meng Huo was in the stronghold, drinking for pleasure all day long, ignoring military affairs, and said to the chiefs, "If I confront Zhuge Liang, I will fall into a trick."Now relying on the danger of Lushui, deep ditches and high fortifications are waiting for it; the people of Shu can't bear the scorching heat, so they will retreat.At that time, I and you will attack him afterwards, and Zhuge Liang will be captured.After saying that, he laughed loudly.Suddenly a chief in the class said: "The water in the mouth of the sand is shallow. If the Shu soldiers leak it, it will be of great interest; you should divide the army and guard it."Huo laughed and said: You are a native of this place, how do you not know?I am asking the soldiers of Shu to cross this water, and if they cross, they will surely die in the water.The chief said again: "If there are natives who talk about the method of crossing the night, what should be done?"Huo said: "Don't be suspicious: people in my territory are willing to help the enemy?"In the middle of the speech, it was reported that there were not many soldiers in Shu, who secretly crossed the Lushui River, and succeeded to the Jiashan Food Road, under the banner of General Ma Dai of Pingbei.Huo laughed and said: "It's not enough to measure this junior!"He sent the deputy general to busy his teeth, and led three thousand soldiers to Jiashan Valley.

But Ma Dai saw that the barbarians had arrived, so he placed two thousand troops in front of the mountain.The two battles faced each other, busy teeth grew out of the horse, and confronted Ma Dai; when they joined together, they were cut off by Dai's sword.The barbarians came back after being defeated, came to see Meng Huo, and talked about it in detail.The generals who were summoned asked, "Who dares to fight against Ma Dai?"Before he finished speaking, Dong Dana came out and said, "I am willing to go."Meng Huo was overjoyed, so he left with three thousand soldiers.Fearing that someone would cross the Lu River again, Huo sent Ah Huinan and three thousand soldiers to guard the mouth of Shakou.

But it is said that Dong Tana led the barbarians to the village in Jiashanyu, and Ma Dai led the soldiers to meet them.Some soldiers in the Ministry recognized Dong Dana, saying that it was the same with Ma Dai.Dai Zongma stepped forward and cursed, "You are a ungrateful person!"My prime minister spared your life, and now you have turned your back on me, wouldn't you be ashamed of yourself!Dong Dana was ashamed, unable to answer, and retreated without a fight.Ma Dai concealed his killing for a while and returned.When Dong Dan saw Meng Huo, he said: "Ma Dai is a hero, and he can't resist the enemy."Huo was furious and said: I know that you have received Zhuge Liang's kindness, so retreating without fighting is a sell-out strategy!Drink the teaching and launch the cut.All the chiefs begged repeatedly, and only then was he saved from death. The warriors beat Dong Dana with a hundred sticks and sent him back to the village.Many chiefs came to Dong Dana and said: Although we live in a barbarian country, we have never dared to invade China; China has never invaded us.Now because of Meng Huo's pressure, he had to rebel.Think Kong Ming is unpredictable, Cao Cao and Sun Quan are still afraid of it, let alone we are so barbaric?What's more, we all receive the grace of his life, and there is nothing we can do to repay.Now, wanting to give up his life, he killed Meng Huo and went to Kongming to save the people in the cave from suffering.Dong Dana said, "I don't know what's in your heart?"There were people who had been sent back by Kongming, and they all said in unison, "Wish to go!"So Dong Tana held a steel knife in his hand and led more than a hundred people straight to Dazhai. At that time, Meng Huo was drunk in the tent.Dong Dana led the crowd in with their knives in hand, and there were two generals standing in the tent.Dong Dana pointed at him with a saber and said, "You have also received the grace of Prime Minister Zhuge's life, so you should repay it."The two generals said: "There is no need for the general to attack. Somebody should capture Meng Huo alive and present it to the prime minister."So they all entered the account, bound Meng Huo to the edge of the Lu River, and drove the boat across the north bank. First, someone reported to Kong Ming.

But he said that Kong Ming had made detailed investigations to find out about this, so he secretly sent orders to teach the soldiers in each village to reorganize their weapons.Dong Dana went to the Chinese army first to meet Kong Ming and explained the matter in detail.Kongming rewarded him heavily, comforted him with kind words, sent Dong Dana to lead the chiefs away, and then ordered Meng Huo to be pushed in with swords and axes.Kongming said with a smile: "you said something before: but if you capture it again, you will be willing to surrender."How is today?Huan said: "This is not your ability; it is because my subordinates have harmed each other, so that it is like this: How can you be willing to obey?"Kongming said: "I will let you go again now, how about it?"Meng Huo said: "Although I am a barbarian, I know the art of war quite well. If the prime minister is willing to let me go back to the cave, I will lead my troops to decide the outcome."If the prime minister captures me again, he will surrender with all his heart and soul, and will not dare to change.Kong Ming said: "This capture alive, if you refuse to accept it, you will not be forgiven lightly."Order the left and right to remove the ropes, and still give wine and food in front, and sit on the tent.Kong Ming said: "Since I was born in a hut, I am invincible in all battles, and I can conquer all attacks."People of Ruman state, why do you refuse to accept it?

Huo silently did not answer.After Kongming drank, he called Meng Huo to get on his horse and go out of the village to see the grain and grass and the weapons accumulated in the gates of the camps.Kongming pointed to Huo and said: If you don't surrender me, you are a fool: I have such elite soldiers and generals, food, grass and weapons, how can Ruan defeat me?If you come down early, I will play to the Son of Heaven, so that you will not take the throne first, and your children and grandchildren will forever rule the barbarian state.What do you think?Huo said: "Although a certain person is willing to surrender, the people in the cave are not willing to be convinced."If the prime minister is willing to let him go back, he should act as a member of the recruiting headquarters and work together to surrender.Kong Ming was relieved and returned to Dazhai with Meng Huo.Drink till late.When he was resigned, Kong Ming personally sent him to the edge of Lushui, and sent him back to the village by boat.

When Meng Huo came to the village, he put his sword and axe under the tent first, and sent his confidantes to the villages of Dong Dana and A Huinan, only to push Kongming to have a mission, so that they could be brought into the tent of Dazhai, and they would all be killed. , Abandoned in the stream.Meng Huo sent his confidants along with him to guard the pass, and led his army out of Jiashan Valley to fight Ma Dai, but he didn't see a single man; he asked the natives, and they all said that they had carried all the grain and grass to cross the Lu River last night and returned to Da. The village went.Huo went back to the cave again, and discussed with his brother Meng You, saying: "Now I know Zhuge Liang's falsehood and reality, so you can go like this."

Meng You took the advice of his brother and led more than a hundred barbarians to carry gold beads, treasures, ivory, rhinoceros horns, etc., across the Lu River, and came straight to Kongming's stronghold; A Biao army spread out: the leading general is Ma Dai.Meng You was shocked.Dai asked about his situation, and ordered someone to report to Kongming in the outer compartment.Kong Ming was in the tent discussing with Ma Su, Lu Kai, Jiang Wan, Fei Yi, etc. about the fight against the barbarians, when suddenly someone in the tent reported that Meng Huo had sent his younger brother Meng You to come into the treasure.Kongming looked back at Ma Su and said, "Do you know his intention?"Su said: "I dare not expressly allow someone to write secretly on paper, and present it to the prime minister, to see if he agrees with you."Kong Ming followed it.After Ma Di wrote it, he presented it to Kong Ming.After Kongming finished watching, he clapped his palms and laughed loudly, saying, "I have sent you the plan to capture Meng Huo: what you see is exactly the same as mine."Then he called Zhao Yunjin and paid it to his ears; he also called Wei Yanjin and whispered the payment; he also called Wang Ping, Ma Zhong and Guan Suojin and paid it densely. After receiving the plan, everyone left according to the order, and Fang called Meng You into the account.You worshiped under the tent again and said: "My brother Meng Huo, I am grateful for the life of the prime minister. I have nothing to offer. I have some gold, jewelry and shellfish. The right is to reward the army."There will be no tribute to the emperor's gift in the future.Kongming said, "where is your brother now?"You said: In order to thank the prime minister for his kindness, I went to Yinkeng mountain to collect treasures, and came back when I was young.Kong Ming said: How many people did you bring?You said: I dare not bring more: I just accompanied more than a hundred people, all of whom were transporting goods.When Kong Ming entered the tent and looked at them, they were all black-faced men with black eyes, yellow hair and purple beards, gold rings in their ears, curly heads and feet, and tall and strong men.Kong Ming ordered to sit with the banquet, and taught the generals to persuade each other to drink and treat each other attentively. But he said that Meng Huo was in the tent just waiting for an answer, when he reported that two people had returned; he called him in to ask, and he said, "Zhuge Liang was overjoyed after receiving the gift, so he called all the people who accompanied him into the tent, killed cattle and horses, and held a banquet." Treat each other.The second great king ordered a secret report to the great king: tonight, the second watch, the inside should cooperate with the outside to achieve great things. Meng Huo was overjoyed when he heard this, so he mobilized 30,000 barbarians and divided them into three teams.The chiefs of each cave were called to pay and said: "All armies should bring firearms."When we arrived at Shuzhai tonight, we set fire to it.I should take the Chinese army myself to capture Zhuge Liang.Many barbarians, under the strategy, came across the Lu River on the left side at dusk.Meng Huo led more than a hundred of his confidant barbarian generals to Kong Ming's stronghold, and no army stopped him on the way.Going to the gate of the village, Huo led all the generals to rush into the village, but there was no one in sight.When he got into the Chinese army, he saw the lamps and candles in the tent shining brightly, Meng You and all the soldiers were drunk.It turned out that Meng You was under the supervision of Ma Su and Lu Kai, who were taught by Kongming, and they ordered the musicians to perform zaju, persuade them to drink, and drugged them, and they all passed out, like a drunk dead person.Meng Huo entered the account and asked about it. There were people who were awake, but they only pointed out.Knowing that he was tricked, he rescued Meng You and others.But when they rushed back to the squadron, there was a loud shout in front of them, and the fire suddenly ignited, and the barbarians fled separately: when a Biao army arrived, it was Wang Ping, the general of Shu.Huo was shocked, and when he rushed to the left team, the flames shot up into the sky, and a Biao army came to him: the leader of Shu general was Wei Yan.Huo hurriedly looked at the right team coming, only to see the flames rising again, and another Biao army came: the leader of Shu general is Zhao Yun.The Three Route Army will attack the future, and there will be no way around.Meng Huo abandoned his soldiers and fled on Lushui.I saw dozens of barbarians on Lushui, driving a small boat, and were ordered to approach the shore in panic.Just as the men and horses disembarked, they sounded a horn and bound Meng Huo.It turned out that Ma Dai had been tricked, and led his soldiers to pretend to be barbarians, and punted here to lure Meng Huo into captivity. So Kongming recruited barbarians, and countless surrendered.Kong Ming comforted them one by one without harming them.He taught him to put out the remaining fire.After a while, Ma Dai captured Meng Huozhi; Zhao Yun captured Meng Youzhi; Wei Yan, Ma Zhong, Wang Ping, and Guan Suo captured the chiefs of various caves.Kongming pointed at Meng Huo and smiled and said: "You first ordered your brother to feign surrender with courtesy, how could you hide it from me!"This time I was captured again, can you accept it?Huan said: "This is because my brother was greedy for food and drink. He was poisoned by you by mistake, so he lost a big deal."If I come here on my own, my younger brother will respond with soldiers, and he will surely succeed.This is a failure of the sky, and it is not my inability: how can I be willing to obey?Kongming said: "It's been three times today, how can you not accept it?"Meng Huo bowed his head and was speechless.Kongming said with a smile, "I'll let you go back again."Meng Huo said: "If the prime minister is willing to let my brother go back, clean up the family and have a big fight with the prime minister: I won it at that time, and I just surrendered with all my heart."Kongming said: "If you catch him again, you will not forgive him lightly."You can be careful, study the book of strategic strategies diligently, and then rectify the trusted people, use good strategies early, and don't regret it.So he ordered the warriors to remove their ropes, and let Meng Huo, Meng You and the chiefs of the caves be released together.Meng Huo went to thank him.At this time, the Shu soldiers had already crossed the Lu River.Meng Huo waited until he had crossed Lushui, only to see soldiers lined up at the port with flags scattered.In front of the camp, Ma Dai sat up high, pointed at him with a sword and said: "If you hold him this time, you will never let him go lightly!"When Meng Huo arrived at his own stronghold, Zhao Yun had already attacked the stronghold and deployed troops.Yun sat under the banner and said with his sword: "The prime minister treats each other like this, don't forget your great kindness!"Huo Nuo repeatedly sounded away.On the hillside of the exit gate, Wei Yan led a thousand elite soldiers, put them on the slope, reined in his horse and said sharply: "I have gone deep into the lair now, and I am in danger of taking you; you are still foolish and resist the army!"Hold it this time, tear it into pieces, and never let it go lightly!Meng Huo and the others ran away with their heads in their hands, looking at the cave.Later generations have a poem praising it: In May, the troops were driven into the barren land, and the miasma and smoke in Lushui were high in the moonlight.I swear that the general will reward the hero for three visits, and he will not be afraid of conquering the barbarian seven times. But he said that Kongming had crossed the Lushui River and had finished his descent to the stronghold. He rewarded the three armies and gathered under the tent and said, "Meng Huo has been captured for the second time. I ordered him to look at the reality of each camp. I am trying to order him to rob the camp."I know that Meng Huo knows the art of war quite well, and I show off with soldiers, horses, food and grass, which really makes Meng Huo see my weakness and must use fire to attack.He ordered his younger brother to feign surrender, hoping to be an internal response.I captured it three times but did not kill it. I sincerely wanted to subdue it, not destroy its kind.I now tell you clearly, don't quit working, but serve the country with your heart.All the generals bowed down and said: "The prime minister's wisdom, benevolence, and courage are all ready; although Ziya and Zhang Liang cannot match them."Kongming said: "How dare I look up to the ancients today?"It all depends on your efforts to achieve success together.All the generals under the tent were delighted to hear what Kong Ming said. But it is said that Meng Huo was angered by the three captures, and he returned to the silver pit angrily, and sent his confidantes, gold, jewels and shells to eight places, ninety-three places, etc., and the barbarian tribes, and used the brand knife to hunt Ding Junjian dozens of times. Wan, it's ready today.The teams of men and horses, surrounded by clouds and mist, all listen to Meng Huo's calls.Fu Lujun found out about it and reported it to Kong Ming.Kongming said with a smile, "I'm just trying to get all the barbarians to come. See what I can do."Then get on the car and go.It's exactly: If it weren't for the majesty of the cave master, how can he show that the military division is superior?It is unknown how the outcome will be, let's see the breakdown below. ① curly hair disheveled.
