Hold Your Hand·Xuantian Chaotic Times

The second time the enemy leader was released, if Zhuge Liang had detained Meng Huo the first time, maybe they would have returned to the capital by now.Although he knew that what Zhuge Liang wanted was for the other party to be sincere and sincere, but Meng Huo was really kind to catch and let go, and it would take a lot of trouble to go back this time, thinking about it, he felt a little speechless.

They still guarded by the Lushui River, and they didn't know what Zhuge Liang said to Meng Huo that day, but there was no movement at all from so many barbarian troops.Ling Hao has no mission for the time being, and seeing Lu Bu still circling the curly-haired red rabbit, "Was the red rabbit so difficult to train when it was given to you?" Ling Hao stood outside the paddock, and the red horse in the field The horse is still too irritable to approach. "The Chitu was trained by Dong Zhuo in advance." Lu Bu held a whip in his hand, and he was about to step forward after only answering a sentence. Seeing this, Ling Hao grabbed Lu Bu, "What are you doing?". "Train the horse." Lu Bu saw Ling Hao holding his arm firmly, "Train the horse? Are you going to use the whip? This is a good horse. If you train it the way you ancients did, it won't make it suffer."The ancients used tying, tying, beating, and hanging to train horses as the most basic method. If the wildness is indestructible, more than ten days of cruel torture will be added. By that time, no matter how difficult a horse is to train, it is estimated that it will have to be subdued , but how much affection can a horse trained under such pressure have with its trainer?The most important thing on the battlefield is the mount. If the time comes when the horse is disobedient or disloyal, the owner will be in danger.Lu Bu stopped his movements, "I don't have much time. If I want to erase its wildness in the shortest time, I can only use strong means.".

Ling Hao still feels that this method is inappropriate...Zhuge Liang emphasizes "convincing" rather than "convincing", and horse training should be more so in this regard, shouldn't it? "How many days do we have left to march?", "Three days.", Three days... It is really not an easy task to tame a good wild horse from the original owner within three days. , Not ten days and a half months is basically useless. "I have a method. A friend of mine told me a method that can tame a newly captured wild horse within a few hours." I just don't know if it is useful for ancient horses, but try it no problem.

How many hours?Lu Bu seemed a little skeptical, "You ancient people like to fight and kill, and force is the best way to deal with animals. In this regard, I still feel safer in my time.".It was just an ordinary rant and unintentional remark, but it seemed extremely uncomfortable to Lv Bu, especially when he saw a trace of nostalgia on Ling Hao's expression. "Just stay here honestly, you won't be able to go back anyway, and besides, with me around, no one would dare to kill you." Lu Bu's face darkened, and his tone seemed very unhappy. "...I didn't say I wanted to go back, I was just stating objective facts..." Ling Hao had no choice but to reach out to hold Lu Bu's hand, "I'm just talking, and I won't see you when I go back, so even Maybe I won't go."After saying a word, he saw that the other party's expression softened a little, "Okay, let's go to the grain depot first." Ling Hao pulled Lu Bu over and walked away.

Before he figured out why he was being dragged to the grain depot, Ling Hao had already ordered dozens of bags of millet to be transported out.Find a makeshift cabin for sundries, just big enough to accommodate a horse.The demolition started from halfway up the house, until everything above the middle including the roof was demolished, and then they poured dozens of bags of millet into it. "What are you doing?" Lu Bu was puzzled.Ling Hao just smiled and said nothing, the half-waist house filled with dozens of bags of millet is now like a container, making people go to carry dozens of bags for spare, "You will know later.".Lu Bu was watching from the side as Ling Hao added the top that had been removed, but cut a hole the size of a window at the top obliquely, and then cut a small hole on the opposite side of the hole, inserting the wooden drain. A row of five fist-sized holes were dug at the bottom, and people blocked them with things first; the original door was extended by a narrow passage, and now the height and size of the entire wooden house have dropped sharply, Lu Bu really said I don’t know what is this thing that has been transformed by Ling Hao in front of me...

He ordered his subordinates to blindfold the horse and lead it here. Chifeng chewed his mouth, and several big men dragged the horse to the place designated by Ling Hao with difficulty.Seeing that Chifeng had entered the passage and was introduced into the interior, Ling Hao immediately had someone nail down the original door of the wooden house, and then removed the passage that was added.Because half of the wooden house was demolished by Ling Hao, if Chifeng wanted to stand comfortably, he would have to stick his head out of the window-sized hole on the top, and after sticking out, only his head was exposed, thinking I can't shrink back. "When you stand in front of it, you may be irritable at first, try to be patient, and try to appease you when you can get close, and leave the rest to me." Ling Hao pushed Lu Bu, pushed him to the In front of Chifeng.

As soon as the biting head and blindfold were removed, Chi Feng immediately became violent, watching Lu Bu snort continuously, and the horse's body kept bumping into the small space where he was confined.Afraid that the wooden house is not strong, if it is really damaged, it will be a waste of time, Ling Hao immediately ordered to start pouring millet into it from the place where the leaky row was inserted at the back of the wooden house.Lu Bu seemed to understand what Ling Hao wanted to do, so he took a step forward, keeping his eyes on the restless horse's eyes.Bag after bag of millet was poured into the house, and the sound of hitting the wooden house finally stopped, and the millet seemed to have piled up to the chest, because Ling Hao obviously felt that Chifeng was not irritable but frightened.When Lu Bu came to the front, Ling Hao just poured the last bag of millet into it. The accumulated millet did not reach Chifeng's chest. Except for the horse's head, the whole body of the horse was basically unable to move. The breathing was oppressed, and it was obviously felt. The Chifeng jet became more rapid every time.

This time he reached out to touch the mane on the side of his neck, but Chifeng didn't overreact. It can also be said that the fright and panic he received was greater than his resistance to strangers.Lu Bu stroked Chifeng's head over and over again, with a sense of comfort. Only at this time could he see a hint of helplessness and panic in Chifeng's eyes.Seeing that Lu Bu was able to touch the red wind to comfort him, Ling Hao opened a slanted hole at the bottom, and golden millet gushed out immediately. When the millet fell to his chest, he opened a second one, followed by a third, and a fourth. one, fifth.In the time for a cup of tea, the millet was almost out, and Chifeng didn't raise its hooves and neigh again. Naturally, it couldn't see Ling Hao behind it, and its vision was limited. The only person it could see was Lu Bu in front of it.Lu Bu didn't come close, so he couldn't breathe. After approaching to appease, the millet that was pressing on his chest was removed from the inside by Ling Hao. In Chi Feng's feeling, the gradual release of danger was connected with Lu Bu's appeasement.

Horses are very smart animals. In this way, they will think that the pacifier in front of them has rescued themselves and helped them return to safety, thus building a high degree of affection and dependence on the pacifier. It seems that this method of taming horses is common in ancient and modern times. It has been shortened from ten days and a half months to just ten minutes, which can be described as extremely fast.The wooden house that was imprisoned was dismantled, and Chifeng, who was finally freed from the narrow space, immediately shook his head. He didn't chew his head, rope, or whip. He didn't put down his hooves for the first time. Instead, he obeyed a lot and let Lu Bu caress him .

"It seems to be quite effective." Ling Hao smiled, looking at the scattered millet on the ground, "It's just that it takes a lot of effort to pack these millets...".Lu Bu patted the horse lightly, then took the rein from Ling Hao and put it on Chi Fengtou again, "It's a worthwhile trip, at least I found a satisfactory mount.". "In the future, it should be called 'Chifeng in the horse, Lu Bu in the man'. By the way, the difference between Chifeng and Chitu should not be much worse, right?" The only thing Ling Hao cares about is the strength of the two horses, " The same horse breed is not much different, as for the tacit understanding of cooperative operations, I think it can be accumulated slowly." I am afraid that only Ling Hao can come up with this method, looking at the smiling person, Lu Bu really misses it at this time I don't know why this man always has so many novel ideas in his head.

After solving Chifeng's problem, Ling Hao tried on Chifeng's harness the next day, with jet-black curtains and two sharp horns protruding from the top of the horse's ears; there is no neck guard for procrastination, and even the chest is only of ordinary specifications Half of it is still a black half-moon arc, with red tassels and blood spikes on the bottom. As for the reason, of course, it is for the convenience of movement. On the battlefield, after all, few people can threaten Lu Bu, so it goes without saying that the mount is a must; the saddle is a must The lightest and strongest texture was also chosen for the hoof-wrapping, and the carved and dancing claws looked very majestic.Except for Lu Bu and himself who is often with Lu Bu, Chifeng is still the same to others, extremely unfriendly.Maybe it's because of uncastrated war horses. Ancient war horses were usually castrated. After all, it's terrible to have sex on a huge battlefield. Although castrated war horses can't give birth, they are meaningless and ignorant. Big, but also easy to discipline.As for some good horses, people are generally reluctant to castrate them, because such horses are more bloody, have a stronger sense of fighting, and are more swift and aggressive, although they are relatively unyielding.

Ling Hao was just trying it on. After putting it on, he pulled it out for a walk and then took it off again, for fear that he would be so hot that his horse would be stuffy.The weather in Nanzhong is only getting hotter every day. They are not bad at the waterside. The battle is settled quickly, after all, this kind of humidity and heat are really not suitable for combat.Fortunately, after only three days, Meng Huo finally made a move. When Zhuge Liang was already preparing to continue his march across the water, the group's sudden visit was a bit abrupt.

Meng Huo's younger brother, Meng You, led more than a hundred barbarians, carrying boxes full of treasures such as gold, silver, jewelry, ivory, and rhino horn, and rushed to the Han camp on his own initiative.Ling Hao and Lu Bu were discussing matters after the march with Zhuge Liang in the tent, and heard that Meng Huo sent his younger brother Meng You to offer treasures from the tent, "When I let go, I was still full of hatred, but now I'm offering treasures instead, I'm afraid It must be a fraud."Zhuge Liang would never have believed that Meng Huo would be so honest, "Just as I thought, just follow my instructions."

When Meng You was allowed to enter the big tent, there were only three people in the tent. Guessing that the man in the green shirt and long suit was the Zhuge Liang that Meng Huo had mentioned, Meng You knelt down immediately, looking terrified. "Brother Meng Huo, grateful for the life of the military master, specially ordered to prepare a number of gold and jewels for the Han army. As for the current emperor, he will have his own tribute in the future."Zhuge Liang responded and asked Meng You to stand up, "Where is Meng Huo now?". "I'm packing up the treasures in Yinkeng Mountain now, and I'll be here in a while." Meng You got up, shifted his gaze slightly, and then looked at the other two people. A young man in gray was smiling, and the other man in black was smiling I haven't looked here since I came in. "How many people did you bring?" Zhuge Liang asked again, and Meng You looked away, "I don't dare to bring more, it's just the hundred and ten people who followed Hewu."Zhuge Liang closed his phoenix eyes slightly when he heard the words, and said after a long while: "Since this is the case, traveling far and crossing the water is hard work, so you can rest for a while." After speaking, he ordered someone to bring the food and wine, seeing Meng You slightly nervous Once seated, he waved to Ling Hao.

Ling Hao stepped forward, Zhuge Liang approached, and whispered in his ear: "Go and see who is accompanying you, I'll make plans early.".Ling Hao nodded, glanced at Meng You who was seated, and deliberately raised his voice, "I'll ask someone to entertain the accompanying soldiers, so as not to slack off." When Meng You saw the man in gray leave the venue, all the people in the tent Zhuge Liang and another person were left.Lu Bu had no interest in Meng You, and of course he and Zhuge Liang had nothing to say, and for a while, only the voices of Meng You and Zhuge Liang talking back and forth could be heard in the tent.

Ling Hao got out of the camp, and within a short distance, he saw more than a hundred people who followed Meng You, all of them were black-faced and blue-eyed, with yellow hair and beards, curly hair and feet, all of them were strong men with strong backs and waists. , It seems that the visitor is not kind... Without showing any signs of expression, Ling Hao summoned a few soldiers at random, and ordered them one by one. Seeing that they all nodded their heads to indicate their understanding, they turned around and returned to the main tent.

Zhuge Liang didn't appear to be ostentatious, and his attitude was quite friendly. Meng You gradually relaxed, started chatting, drank a glass of wine with Zhuge Liang, looked at the person who had been silent and bored all the time, "I don't know this is your soldier." Which general?"Zhuge Liang glanced at Lu Bu, raised his wine cup again, "Lu Bu, he doesn't like to talk, just don't mind."Lu Bu——Meng You shook his hand while serving the wine, and fixed his eyes on the person opposite. Is this person Lu Bu?That Lu Bu who had been dead for so many years but suddenly appeared?No wonder he didn't see many other generals when he came here today. Lu Bu alone is enough to make people feel terrified... If he misses again today, he might really end up in this Han camp.The mood suddenly became so heavy that Meng You smiled uncomfortably, just when Ling Hao lifted the curtain and walked in. "Go out and ask your subordinates to deliver wine and food to the accompanying people, but I don't know if the wine in Zhongtu suits your local tastes." Ling Hao smiled and took his seat, Meng You just echoed.After telling Zhuge Liang what he saw in a low voice, Zhuge Liangliang nodded, and looked at Meng You again, "This is Ling Hao, don't be cautious, just treat it as your own home."

My own home, how can this be my own home... Meng You drank a few more cups, wondering why Meng Huo didn't come yet.

"Fengxian, why don't you just drink and don't talk? Isn't it rude for you to treat the guests like this?" Ling Hao reached out and patted Lu Bu on the shoulder, and then Lu Bu looked up at Meng You opposite.Meng You froze immediately, and forced a smile: "General Ling is serious, how dare you let Marquis Wen bother you." It seemed that he was overly nervous, and Ling Hao no longer put any pressure on him, but only tried to persuade him to drink.Before the middle of the day, Ling Hao poured the two cans of wine to Meng You. Seeing Meng You, who was unprepared and drunk on the spot, he just stepped forward to try to push him, but Lu Bu stopped him halfway. action. "He has drugged his wine and is now unconscious." Ling Hao paused and looked at Lu Bu, always feeling that the other party was unhappy again. "Then what should we do next?", "Have you dealt with the soldiers he brought?" Zhuge Liang continued to take a sip of wine calmly, "I have been drugged and passed out.".

"I will send someone to notify Li An, Wang Ping, Yuan Yi, He Jin and others, and let them start to act according to my previous instructions. In the middle of the night, all the members will withdraw from the stronghold and lie in ambush in the middle of the night. As for you and Lu Bu—" Zhuge Liang finally put down his wine cup, "Wait for all the troops to evacuate and immediately cross the river from a secluded place. Once Meng Huo leaves the camp, attack his camp , blocked the main throat, so that he could not go back.".Ling Hao bowed his head to take the order, and then pulled Lu Bu out of the tent.

Zhuge Liang chose late at night for several times, when the summer heat dissipated and the night wind was cool, it was suitable for activities.Putting Chifeng on the saddle again, looking back, he saw that Lu Bu was still frowning, "Let's go now, what's the matter with you?", Ling Hao has been like this since he came out after drinking, Ling Hao really can't understand Lu Bu mood changes. "Why are you so active when you encounter something related to Meng Huo?" Ling Hao was stunned when he heard this, and then he didn't understand why, "Where am I active?". "Be active everywhere." Lv Bu mumbled, Ling Hao really felt wronged, he was just doing his own job well, why not only Zhuge Liang felt so, but now Lu Bu also felt so, and seemed to be ashamed Not light.

"Okay, master is smarter or Meng Huo is smarter?" Ling Hao was helpless, Lu Bu glanced at Ling Hao, "Zhuge Liang.", "Then do you think Meng Huo's force is better than yours?", "Naturally. ", "Then what are you worried about?", Ling Hao spit out the last sentence, and Lu Bu's jealousy was a little inexplicable. "Who says I'm worried, I just want to remind you that Meng Huo's sons and daughters are almost the same as that kid from the Guan family." Doesn't the implication mean that I still feel interested in Meng Huo?God, please forgive him... "Didn't you also marry a wife and have a woman? Before Baimenlou, when Dong Zhuo was still alive, there were so many beautiful women to play with that you could use a cart to pull them every day, right?" I have never paid attention to it, but today I was mentioned by this person, and then I think about the life style of the ancients, especially Lu Bu, who has such a high position and power, and then follows Dong Zhuo in Jiuchi Roulin. Apart from the original wife, I am afraid that there are countless women. Uncountable——What kind of concept is this?It can be said that Ling Hao felt a very uncomfortable feeling in his heart. He was explaining to Lu Bu, but now it was himself who had a sour taste.

Before Lu Bu was angry, he saw that Ling Hao's face suddenly became ugly, and then he threw the saddle in his hand to him suddenly, "You can put it on yourself!" His attitude was not ordinary, and he couldn't see it when he threw this sentence. Seeing him, he walked away with a sullen face.Lu Bu was stunned for a long time on the spot. He was fine just now. Why did he suddenly become like this... He has never seen Ling Hao like this before. This is the first time he sees Ling Hao throwing a face at him. He should be angry. Right?

Zhuge Liang sent Dong Dana, who was staying temporarily, to send two barbarians to report back to Meng Huo as required, while he himself led all the soldiers out of the camp, except for the tents of the Chinese army that were brightly lit.At the second watch, as expected, the trail sentinel came to report, and Meng Huo led [-] troops to the forest to garrison, while he himself brought hundreds of barbarians, and rushed straight to the Han army camp.

The barbarians who came back sent a letter saying that Zhuge Liang was very happy to see the treasure, so he slaughtered cattle and sheep to entertain Meng You and others. Surprise attack, cooperating with the inside and the outside, Zhuge Liang, who is bound to be able to kill, was caught off guard.The road was unimpeded. When I brought people to the gate of the village, I rode straight in and rushed in. I was about to order to charge and kill, but I was dumbfounded when I entered the village. As far as I could see, there was no one. , It became an empty village!Meng Huo went all the way to find the main tent, and only after entering the tent did he see Meng You, who fell asleep on the table. Meng Huo was so angry that he woke Meng You up with a slap.

"Where is Zhuge Liang!" Meng Youchu woke up and was still a little confused about the situation. He was surprised when he saw Meng Huo, but he couldn't make a sound when he wanted to speak. "Oops, it's been tricked! Get out!" Meng Huo cursed secretly in his heart when he saw this, and immediately ordered people to evacuate the camp. Enemy troops appear.Meng Huo was taken aback, and hurriedly turned his horse's head and ran to the left team, but he saw that the direction of the left team was also full of flames from a long distance away, and people shouted and neighed, and the left team was also dispersed!Now only the right team by the edge of the forest is left, Meng Huo gritted his teeth, knowing that according to Zhuge Liang's strategy, he would definitely not let the right team go. That's all, thinking of this, Meng Huo decisively abandoned the surrounded soldiers, rode his horse and ran towards Lushui.The moon was bright, a small boat was parked by the water, and a few barbarians could be seen walking around from a distance. Meng Huo heaved a sigh of relief and hurried forward.

"Damn it! I fell into Zhuge Liang's trap! Cross the river!" Meng Huo got off his horse and was about to board the boat. Unexpectedly, a few barbarians held his hand halfway, "I caught Meng Huo!", and his accent was not Nanzhong at all. At such a close distance, Meng Huo realized that these people were actually Han soldiers in disguise.

Losing again in embarrassment, the plan was very thorough, why did Zhuge Liang know what he wanted to do!Hell, is this man really a ghost?The third time he was captured alive and returned to the enemy's stronghold, Meng Huo couldn't hold back his face anymore.

Li An, Wang Ping and others all returned to their own village from other villages, and countless chieftains and barbarians were captured by their men.

"This strategy is really not a clever one. Are you convinced that you were captured this time?" The two rows were full of generals of your own side. Zhuge Liang sat in the upper seat and looked at Meng Huo below, still smiling lightly.Meng Huo's hands were tied, and he still didn't kneel when he saw Zhuge Liang, "This time, it was Meng You who was greedy for drinking and poisoned the wine by mistake, so he lost his chance. If it were me who came here personally, Meng You would lead the troops to respond outside, and it would definitely succeed." Zhuge Liang responded, "In other words, still not convinced? This is the third time. How long will it take you to be convinced?" Meng Huo couldn't deny it when he heard the words, and turned his head But don't speak.

It can be seen that this person is still not completely convinced, but any slight criticism will make his previous achievements in this trip come to naught. Zhuge Liang will not feel it a pity to let Meng Huo go a few times. What he wants is Meng Huo's honesty and willingness. "There are only three things. Since you said that this time it was your brother's drunkenness, I won't say much. I will let you go this time. I hope you will be careful and don't get caught again. After all, next time, I will let you go." It's not so easy to let you go."At the end of the speech, he ordered Meng Huo to be loosened again, and even the chieftain and barbarians with the captives were let go.Meng Huo frowned tightly. He didn't understand what Zhuge Liang did. This man was willing to let him go so many times... and he didn't take any barbarian soldiers. Although he was a barbarian, he still knew the basics. , Zhuge Liang is like this, although he is unwilling, but at least he should say thank you.After a stalemate for a long time, Meng Huo stepped forward and clasped his fists, "Anyway, I should say thank you...but next time I won't fall into your trap so easily!".Seeing Meng Huo turn around and leave after finishing speaking, Zhuge Liang shook his head, his attitude improved, at least he would say thank you, it seems that there is still progress.

"I'm talking about Zhuge Junshi, this... this Meng Huo will be more familiar with the road than us if he comes a few more times." Wang Ping couldn't laugh or cry, "It depends on how long he can last. I have nothing to say about the shame that the barbarian king was captured alive over and over again." Zhuge Liang really shouldn't think of Meng Huo with the thinking of the Chinese people, but a person should be captured three times—or Meng Huo is really Don't you feel dull?

"Then what are we going to do next? Meng Huo will definitely return to Lushui again after leaving this time, shall we continue to be stationed?" Li An wondered, and now he has no doubts at all about Zhuge Liang's original sentence "capture Meng Huo." As for other things, this person doesn't need to think about it at all. If there are more talents like Zhuge Liang in the court... how can Cao Cao's disciples appear?

"It's fine to just cross Lushui. Meng Huo can't go back to his camp. I have ordered Zixuan and Lu Bu to go and capture his camp. If Meng Huo wants to continue fighting, he has to make friends with all the tribes. Just hit and break." What else could they say?Except for the word "God Man", no other word could be found. The generals were amazed and bowed their heads to take orders, with an even more respectful attitude than in the past.
