Small Landlords of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 104 133. Seven Captures of Meng Huo
Dian Wei: "My lord, don't you wait for the Kuaiji battle to end?"

Wang Hao: "Don't wait, Sun Quan is just dying now. Unless he has a hundred thousand troops, or a million stones of grain and grass, he can't make any waves. As for Kuaiji County, Jia Wenhe doesn't need to worry about it." .”

Dian Wei: "How long will my lord decide to go to sea?"

Wang Hao: "It depends on the situation. If possible, it may take a year and a half..."

Hu Che'er: "In one and a half years, is the ocean really that big?
It only took one month to go from Zhu Yalang to Beihai County, and half of the Central Plains had been bypassed! "

Regarding the words of Dian and Wei, Wang Hao shook his head but smiled without saying a word. For a while, he really couldn't explain this matter clearly.

People in this era understand the sea just like looking at the starry sky in modern times. They always think that they have seen it through, but in fact they still don't know anything.

After Wang Hao returns to Zhu Yalang this time, he will go on a long voyage to the sea. If Wang Hao did not dare to travel this far before, it will be different now that he has vultures.

Vultures and giant eagles can see up to ten kilometers, and they have a wider field of vision at sea. In the past, Wang Hao thought about raising harrier pigeons as messenger pigeons, but now he has vultures, which completely saves that trouble.

Vulture cubs are basically released before winter, although there are at most a thousand or so, as for how many people will be able to survive the eagle in the end, Wang Hao is not sure, but one layer is enough.

The vulture's attack power is not as good as the spotted hyena, but in terms of communication, it is dozens of times better than the spotted hyena. With the vulture as a communication pigeon, Wang Hao can receive news from the inland at any time even if he goes to sea.

Wang Hao went south to Zhu Yalang to go to sea, but Zhuge Liang led his troops to attack Manbush's tribes. Meng Huo met Guan Suo the first time he went down the mountain. After Guan Yu, the martial sage, he naturally had two different brushes. Meng Huo's tribe is a group of mountain kings. Can fight recklessly with the regular army of the protagonist Zhuge Liang.

Meng Huo was defeated by Guan Suo in the first battle out of the mountain. Meng Huo led the remnants back to the forest in embarrassment. Meng Huo thought that Zhuge Liang would not dare to go deep, but this time, Zhuge Liang led the army to catch up.

Meng Huo: "How dare you go deep into the jungle to pursue it. This time, my king wants you to know how powerful it is..."

Meng Huo hid in the dense forest on the hillside, and when he heard that Qubu under his command had returned, he also felt that Mrs. Zhuge was too kind, and dared to rush into his main battlefield without knowing how to praise him.

Kong Ming: "Wang Ping, you lead a group of people to... Guan Suo, you lead Qubu to... Time together..."

Zhuge Liang lined up and hid in the mountains, and set up an ambush in the valley to lure Wang Ping and Guan Suo. Wang Ping and Wang Ping pretended to be defeated and lured Nanman king Meng Huo into the valley.

Then Zhang Yi and Zhang Yi pursued, Wang Ping and Guan Suo returned to attack, Meng Huo couldn't resist, and was finally captured alive.

Meng Huo: "I accidentally fell into your trap, how can I convince people?"

Zhuge Liang: "It's okay if you don't accept it. I can let you go back, but how about I catch you next time?"

Meng Huo: "If you have the ability to capture this king, I am willing to lead the Dongfu tribe to surrender you..."

Zhuge: "Okay! It's a deal, you can go."

Zhuge Liang knew that Meng Huo was brave and foolish, but he was just a reckless man. If Meng Huo had not had a high reputation in the Nanman tribe and was afraid that killing Meng Huo would arouse the hatred of the Nanman tribe, Zhuge Liang would have wanted to kill Meng Huo a long time ago.

Zhuge Liang is full of confidence in pacifying the Nanman tribe, but how to manage the Nanman tribe after the pacification is a headache. Either tens of thousands of troops will be left to guard the territory, or all the barbarians will be killed.

Nowadays, the population in central Shu is scarce, and Zhuge Liang is reluctant to kill him. If he does not kill him, he will have to send troops to garrison. Moreover, food in the mountains and forests is scarce, and there are no cities to defend.

Liu Bei sent troops to the Nanman tribe because of the robbing of food and grass. If he finally got a piece of territory, he would need a lot of food to feed the soldiers and tens of thousands of troops to garrison. It would be better not to attack, so he could kill Meng Huo or kill all the Nanman tribe. No way.

Then there is only Zhao'an, which is also the most normal method. The princes will attack each other capriciously. Sometimes a Zhao'an edict, or for a little food and grass territory, can tear apart the alliance and attack each other.

Zhuge Liang: "I captured you alive again this time, what can you say?"

Meng Huo: "Do you use tricks? You agreed to defeat me. What are you using such indecent means..."

Zhuge Liang: "What if I beat you with strength?"

Meng Huo: "If you can defeat me with strength, I, Meng Huo, will be convinced..."

After the second capture of Meng Huo, Meng Huo still refused to accept it. Even though he had no soldiers under his command, Meng Huo still had a way to borrow some soldiers. His younger brother Meng You was also the cave master of the 36th Cave in Nanman, and he also had elite soldiers under his command.

Meng Huo said to his younger brother Meng You, "You led more than a hundred elite soldiers to present treasures to Kong Ming, and took the opportunity to attack and kill Kong Ming. I led the troops and came after me. If the commander of the Shu army is killed, there will be chaos. At that time, we can take them all in one fell swoop. Meng Huo was captured alive twice by Zhuge Liang, and this time he also learned to play tricks.

Meng You came to the camp of the Shu army to offer treasures. Zhuge Liang saw the clue from Meng You's seat, and finally solved Meng Huo's conspiracy, ordering people to put medicine in the wine, so that Meng You and other barbarians could eat and drink.

Meng Huo: "The Erlangs follow me to kill, and capture the commander of the Shu army alive..."

That night, Meng Huo led [-] soldiers into the army to catch Kong Ming. Only after entering the account did he realize that he had been duped. Meng You and other barbarians were all drunk. Go to Lushui.

Meng Huo was intercepted by Guan Suo disguised as barbarians in Lushui. Meng Huo lost this time and played tricks. He said that his younger brother Meng You made a mistake by drinking, but he himself was still not convinced.

Guan Suo: "Mr. Kong Ming, why did you let him go? This guy is that big rascal. Why don't you let me chop him off..."

Zhuge Liang: "The mountain people have their own clever plans. This also affects the safety of Shu in the next few decades. General, please don't act on your own initiative..."

This time Meng Huo took revenge and borrowed [-] cards from other cave masters to fight against the Shu army. Meng Huo wore rhinoceros leather armor and rode red-haired oxen.

Pai Ding soldiers were naked, with grimaces painted on and their hair disheveled, and they rushed towards the Shu camp like savages.But Kong Ming ordered the gate of the village to be closed without fighting, and waited for the opportunity.

It turned out that before Meng Huo came to attack the camp, Zhuge Liang had already prepared a trap, but Meng Huo's army was not yet within the scope of the trap. into the trap and was captured alive again.

The fifth time Meng Huo was defeated was even more wronged. He hid in Tulong Cave to ask for help. Yang Feng, the owner of Yinye Cave, thanked Kong Ming for not killing his people, captured Meng Huo in Tulong Cave and gave it to Kong Ming.

The sixth time Meng Huo retreated to Yinkeng Cave, half of the Nanman mountains and rivers were lost, and they were about to be defeated by the Shu army. At this time, King Mulu and Zhu Rong couldn't stand it anymore, and decided to prevent the Shu army from penetrating into Nanman.

Zhu Rong's flying knife is powerful, and several generals of the Shu army were captured alive, but in the end they were captured alive by Zhuge Liang. King Mulu could drive poisonous snakes.

Zhu Rong's family escorted Meng Huo to a false surrender. They wanted to kidnap Zhuge Liang in exchange for King Mulu, but Zhuge Liang didn't believe it. The two were captured alive again in the camp of the Shu army. The whole Nanman was defeated, so they decided to play another round with Meng Huo.

This time Meng Huo invited the Rattan Armored Army of Ugo Kingdom again. Kong Ming burned countless barbarians to death with gunpowder from oil trucks. Meng Huo was captured for the seventh time before he sincerely surrendered to the Shu army.

After Meng Huo returned, he persuaded all the tribes to surrender, including Wu Mengyou, Tu Gu, Zhu Rong, King Mulu and others. Liu Bei gave them official positions and asked them to serve under his command, while Nanzhong The area was returned to Shu Han control.

Zhu Rongshi: "I won't go. I can just live in Yinkeng Cave by myself. If you need to go on an expedition, you can call me..."

Meng Huo: "Why?"

Zhu Rong's: "No reason, you don't need to persuade me anymore..."

Wu Tugu: "Okay..."

The reckless men of Meng Huo didn't know why, but Wu Tugu could see something, Liu Bei looked at Zhu Rong's eyes a little...

Zhu Rong is the only female cave master in the Nanman tribe. Not only is her martial strength close to that of a top-notch master, but her appearance is also not bad. She is not interested in people with sharp bones, and even less interested in Liu Bei, so she decisively gave up on the mansion. And Feng reward, led the guards to hide in the mountains and forests to live in seclusion.
