Crossing the Lushui River, then tying Wang Fan, bullying and surrendering, and capturing Meng Huo three times (88)
Meng Huo crossed the Lushui River, stayed at the stockade, summoned the leaders of the caves, and assembled the barbarians who were put back, about 100,000 riding. At this time, Dong Tuna and Hui Nan were already in the cave. He was ordered to say, "I know Zhuge Liang's plan, so I can't confront it, but it will be his trick." Bichuan's soldiers came from far away to work, and the weather was hot. How can they stay long? "All the leaders arrested ships and rafts in the south bank area according to their plans, and built a tucheng. Where there are places close to mountains and cliffs, put the enemy towers high, put more crossbows and cannons upstairs, and prepare for a long time. Food and grass are supplied from each hole. Meng Huo thinks this is a foolproof policy, calm and not worried.
Kongming's army has arrived in Lushui, where there are no boats and rafts. At the same time, it was May and the weather was hot. The land in the south is so cool that soldiers and horses are not allowed to wear armor. Zhuge Liang ordered: "You each lead your own troops, stand by mountains and trees, choose a place with dense trees, and we will rest our troops." Lu Kai was sent to a place hundreds of miles away from Lushui. He chose a shady place and divided it into four yards. Wang Ping, Zhang Ben, Zhang Yi and Guan Suo each kept a yard, and huts were built inside and outside to let the soldiers enjoy the cool summer.
Suddenly reported: "Zhong Shu sent Ma Daixia medicine and grain and rice." Zhuge Liang ordered him to enter the customs, saying, "Meng Huo refused to stay in Lushui today, and there was no way to cross. I want to cut off the grain route first and throw his army into chaos. Walk 150 miles from here, and Lushui goes down to Liushakou, where the current is slow and you can cross the river by raft. You took 3,000 men across the water, went straight into the cave, and cut off their food first. Then I met Dong Tuna and A Huinan, two cave owners, and they became people inside. Don't make a mistake. "
Ma Dai gladly went and led the troops to Shakou. Because the water was shallow, most of them couldn't get off the raft, so they had to be naked, and half of them fell. First aid ashore, nose and mouth bleeding to death. Kong Ming is always ready to guide the local people. The natives said, "On a hot day, poison gathers in Lushui. It's very hot during the day, and poisonous gas is emitted. If someone crosses the water, he will be poisoned; Or drink this water, and this person will die. If you want to cross, you have to wait for the dead of night, it's cold, and the poison gas can't be consumed. Can eat, can cross. " Kong Ming then ordered the natives to lead the way and selected a capable army of five or six hundred people. With Ma Dai swimming in the middle of the night, nothing really happened. Ma Dai occupied Jiashanyu, the general hub of water transportation in Mandong, and seized more than 0/00 vehicles of grain/kloc. Man Zhan reported to Meng Huo's camp.
? Meng Huo didn't listen to the villagers' advice, but suddenly he reported that Shu soldiers somehow cut off Jiashan's route for providing foodstuff and sent his deputy to lead 3,000 troops to Jiashan Valley. During two rounds, a horse emerged from his busy teeth and confronted Ma Dai. Only one person met and Adai cut him with a knife. When the barbarians were defeated, Dong Tuna was ordered to go to war, and Meng Huo sent A Huinan and 3,000 soldiers to guard Shazui.
Dong Tun led the barbarians to xiazhai village in Jiashanyu, and Dai Zongma cursed them. Dong Bi was ashamed and quit without a fight. Ma Dai came back after a while. See you later. Meng Huo and Dong Tuna are ready to cut it. The chiefs repeatedly complained and scolded the samurai for hitting the eastern tuna with a hundred sticks and sending him back to his village.
Many chiefs came to tell Dong Bi that he wanted to surrender, lest the people in the cave suffer. So Dong Tunyu came straight to Dazhai with a steel knife in his hand, and Meng Huo was drunk in the tent. Dong Bi led the crowd in with a knife, and two generals who owed Zhuge Liang a favor under his account bound Meng Huo and sent him to Zhuge Liang's account.
Kong Mingxiao said, "This is beyond your ability. It is my man who has harmed himself. How can they resist? " Zhuge Liang said, "What if I let you go again today? If you don't accept this prisoner, there will be no mercy. " Let the left and right remove their ropes, give them their old wine and food, and sit on the tent. Kong Ming said, "I came from a humble background and was invincible. Why are you dissatisfied with the people of your country? " Keep silent and don't answer. After drinking, Zhuge Liang told Meng Huo to mount his horse and go out to see the grain and grass stored in the stockyard. He was resigned after drinking very late, and Kong Ming personally delivered it to Lushui and sent it to the village by boat.
Meng Huo came to this village, killed Dong Tuna and Hui Nan, and dumped the bodies in the stream. I led the army out of Jiashanyu, but I didn't see anyone. When asked about the natives, they all said that they had moved all the grain and grass across the Lushui River last night and returned to Dazhai. Go back to the cave and discuss the plan with your brother Meng You.
Meng You led his younger brother's plan and led 100 barbarians, carrying gold beads and ivory rhinoceros horns, to cross the Lushui River and come to Kongming Dazhai. Ma Dai stopped him and sent for Zhuge Liang. Kong Ming is consulting with Ma Su, Lu Kai, Jiang Wan, Fei Yi and others. * * * made peace, then looked back at Ma Su and said, "Do you know what he's doing here?" He said: "I dare not say it. Let me write it down in secret on paper and present it to the Prime Minister to see if it suits you. " Kong Ming followed closely. Written by Ma Su, dedicated to Kong Ming. After reading it, Zhuge Liang clapped his hands and laughed, and secretly distributed it to the generals.
? Meng You entered the tent and bowed down to it. He said: "My brother Meng Huo felt the gratitude of the Prime Minister for his life, and he had nothing to offer. He should reward Gonoyou with some golden balls and treasures. After the continuation, there will be no more tribute to the emperor. " When Kong Ming taught more than 100 people to enter the accounts, they were all tall and strong with black eyes, yellow hair and purple beard, gold rings in their ears and tiptoe. Zhuge Liang ordered him to sit at the table, and the congregation would persuade him to drink and be polite to each other.
Meng Huo was very happy to hear the return, that is, he lit 30 thousand barbarians and divided them into three teams. He called the leaders of the cave and said to them, "All the troops are equipped with fire fighting equipment. When they arrive at Shuzhai tonight, they will light their horns. I should bring my own army to capture Zhuge Liang alive. "
Meng Huo led hundreds of confidants to Zhuge Liang's Dazhai, but no army blocked the way and no one was found in the village. When he rushed into Zhong Jun, he saw that the tent was brightly lit, and Meng You and his soldiers were drunk. It turns out that Ma Su and Lu Kai of Kongming Sect managed to make the musicians move into the zaju, diligently advised them to drink, drugged them, and they all fainted, as if they were drunk to death. Meng Huo entered an account and asked, although there were sober people, he just pointed at his mouth.
Knowing the recruit, he gave first aid to Meng You and others. However, when they rushed back to the squadron, Wang Ping, Wei Yan and Zhao Yun were attacked by three roads, and suddenly the flames were soaring, and the barbarians fled separately. Meng Huo abandoned the sergeant, and the horse looked at the water and fled. I saw dozens of barbarians driving boats on the Lushui River, too scared to get close to the shore. As soon as the troops disembarked, a horn sounded and Meng Huo was tied. Originally, Ma Dai led his own soldiers disguised as barbarians and captured Meng Huo alive. So Zhuge Liang summoned the barbarian army, and countless soldiers surrendered, comforting them one by one without harm.
? In a short time, Ma Dai captured Meng Huo alive, Zhao Yun captured Meng You alive, Wei Yan, Ma Zhong, Wang Ping and Guan Suo captured Dongtou alive. Kongming smiled and said to Meng Huo, "This is a natural failure, not my fault. How can I accept it? " Zhuge Liang said, "It has been three times now. How can you refuse? If you catch it again, you will not be forgiven. You can be careful, diligently attack the book of strategy, and then punish those who are close, use the strategy as soon as possible, and don't regret it. " So he ordered the warriors to go to their ropes and release Meng Huo, Meng You and the leaders of the caves.
By this time, the Shu soldiers had crossed the Lushui River and arrived at the camp. Ma Dai is sitting on a high place. When Meng Huo arrived at his village, Zhao Yun had captured the village and arranged his troops. Wei Yan led a thousand soldiers to the hillside where he was out of bounds. He reined in his horse and snapped at him. Meng Huo and others fled and looked at the hole. Later generations have a poem praising: In May, the soldiers were driven into the barren land, and the land and water in the Ming Dynasty were filthy. I swear I'll pay a little attention to men, and I dare not levy taxes.
After crossing the Lushui River, Zhuge Liang ended his trip to the village and rewarded the three armed forces. The generals gathered in the tent and said, "Meng Huo has been captured for the second time. I have asked him to see the actual situation of each camp and hope to rob it. I know Meng Huo knows the art of war very well. I showed off my military forces and grain, which really made Meng Huo see my flaw and would be attacked by fire. He told his brother to surrender, hoping to become an inside man. I have captured it three times without killing it. I sincerely want to convince it, but I don't want to destroy it. I told you today, don't quit your job, you can serve your country with your heart. " The generals bowed down and said, "The Prime Minister is wise, benevolent and brave, although Ziya and Sean can't reach him."
Enraged by the Three Rescuers, Meng Huo returned to Yinkeng, that is, sent his confidants to Bafan, Jiusandian and other places, and went to the barbarian tribe, asking him to lick Ding Junjian with hundreds of thousands of brand knives. Each team prepared every day. Kong Ming said with a smile, "I just want the barbarians to come. See what I can do. " So I got in the car and left. Exactly: if the cave master is not good, how can it be said that the strategist has high skills?
