Hold Your Hand·Xuantian Chaotic Times

The Han army escorted Meng Huo all the way back to the camp, and everyone was waiting for what Zhuge Liang would do with Meng Huo this time, but Zhuge Liang disappeared after returning.According to the old rules, Li An put Zhu Rong, Meng You, Dai Dai and others in the tent, and made people serve wine and food as usual.But Ling Hao always felt that Zhuge Liang's condition today seemed to be not very right, and he couldn't find him in the tent, and finally found him in the back army field. Zhuge Liang's back was facing him, and he was still dressed in white. The practiced moonlight seems to float away from the dust.Approaching slowly, he saw a stone platform in front of the other party. Zhuge Liang faced the stone platform quietly with his eyes half closed.Ling Hao didn't know what Zhuge Liang was doing, but he didn't make a sound to disturb him.

After a long time, I saw Zhuge Liang opened his eyes, and then leaned down slightly facing the stone platform. "Where's Meng Huo?"Zhuge Liang turned around without making a sound, Ling Hao paused, "What was the master doing just now?". "Pray for those who died in the Coiling Snake Valley." Zhuge Liang's eyes showed a touch of worry again.It seems that Zhuge Liang is still very concerned about the burning of the Rattan Armor Army. In fact, anyone who sees tens of thousands of people dying in front of him will inevitably feel guilty in his heart, even if it is because of the war.Any language is useless, Ling Hao just stepped forward and held Zhuge Liang's hand. "Let you handle Meng Huo's matter. This is already the seventh time. If he continues to fight, he can only use the people of the barbarian side. In any case, I can't take action against the people." He knew that Ling Hao understood. With his current mood, Zhuge Liang shook his head. If Meng Huo was really so stubborn, then it would be useless to take the barbarian land.

Feeling quite complicated, he accompanied Zhuge Liang back to the main tent first, and then Ling Hao went to see Meng Huo.If you continue to arrest, Zhuge Liang will definitely be able to, but it will inevitably cause more people to die. Now it is obvious that I have to deal with it myself.

Open the curtain and enter the room. Li An and Wang Ping are on one side, and Meng Huo, Meng You and others are on the other side.Ling Hao nodded to Wang Ping, and then looked at Meng Huo, "Master doesn't want to see you, but just let me let you go, and wait for you to regroup before deciding the outcome." Looking at Meng Huo again, With a look of surprise on his face, Ling Hao was really powerless, "Master, he doesn't want to hurt the barbarians anymore, so, Meng Huo, if you really care about your people, don't get caught so easily next time. you can go now.".Meng Huo opened his mouth and couldn't speak, and he got up after a long while, clenched his fists, and stood there for a long time, finally slumped.

"Seven captures and seven moves, never seen in ancient and modern times. Although I am a barbarian and have not been educated by you in the middle land, I also know what is etiquette and what is kindness... I am willing to submit to the Han Dynasty.".When Meng Huo said something, Li An and Wang Ping were surprised, but then they looked happy. Finally, they could finally end the battle smoothly.Ling Hao was silent when he heard the words, but why bother, it was clearly doomed from the very beginning, but he had to wait until so many innocent people were killed or killed, and tens of thousands of lives were used to let this person see the situation thoroughly, let alone talk about it . "In that case, come with me, and we'll talk about it after meeting the master." Before the words fell, Meng You, Zhu Rong, and Dai Dai also stood up consciously.Ling Hao led several people all the way to the main tent. Zhuge Liang was comparing the casualty list at this time. He was not surprised to see Meng Huo and several people coming in, and his expression did not change.

Meng Huo stepped forward and knelt down facing Zhuge Liang who was sitting on the seat, and Meng You and others knelt down behind him. "Kneel down here today, and the Nanman will never turn back forever!" Zhuge Liang put down the brush in his hand, "So, are you convinced?".Meng Huo's eyes were full of shame, "If it wasn't for the military division, I would have been reincarnated six times now, and... I really can't fight, whether it's a battle of wits or courage.".Zhuge Liang only sighed softly when he heard the words, then got up and walked down, and helped Meng Huo up himself, "I didn't intend to force you to submit, this move is all for the integrity of the imperial land and the stability of the country. Don't worry, I will not take you away." As the king of the barbarians, all the land I occupied before will also be returned to you."Meng Huo really didn't know what to say when he heard that, he even forgot to let go of Zhuge Liang's hand. Seeing this, Ling Hao was relieved, and finally smiled unconsciously. Fortunately, at least Meng Huo finally convinced him from the bottom of his heart.

It was night, and the entire Han army camp held a banquet to celebrate the great achievements of Pingman, and secondly, it was the first banquet for becoming an ally with Meng Huo.Of course, the Nanman had been recovered. As for the left-behind problem, it naturally became the number one problem. Meng Huo and others were sent away, and Li An rushed all the way to the main account. He was the representative sent by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.When I asked Zhuge Liang about this matter, who would have thought that the other party had no plans to keep Han Chinese in management. "The military commander went deep into the barren land personally to pacify the southern barbarians. Now that the barbarian king has surrendered, why didn't he set up Han military officials to manage it with Meng Huo?" Seeing Li An's puzzled look, Zhuge Liang shook his head, "It's not appropriate.", "What's inappropriate? I think it's feasible."

"There are three difficulties in this way. One: the officers who stay in the army must stay behind to guard the army and horses, and the soldiers have nothing to eat. This is the first difficulty; two: the barbarians are now suffering heavy casualties, and their wives and children are separated. This is the second difficulty; third: the barbarians are different from the Han people, they have a great prejudice against the middle land, and now our army has caused so many people to be displaced, and it is not easy to be convinced by them if the military officials are left behind. This is the third It's not easy. I don't keep anyone and don't ask for their money and food, so that we can live in peace." Li An suddenly became enlightened when he heard the words, and looked at Zhuge Liang like a god.

Although they have regained the barbaric land now, they can't go back the next day. After all, there are still a series of things that need to be dealt with.What made Ling Hao dumbfounded was that Meng Huo actually built a shrine in front of his own cave, and if he wanted to ask who was enshrining...you can guess it.Ling Hao was still lamenting why Meng Huo started work so fast, but the man next to him stared at the stone statue in the temple, and finally couldn't help it, and complained: "Don't you think Zhuge Liang should come and see for himself? This face...", "Master, I saw it yesterday." Then I went back and was so bored all night that I didn't eat. This was the first time Ling Hao saw Zhuge Liang like this. Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing, "Don't you Laughing master, yours is not much better."As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Lu Bu's eyes that were originally on the Zhuge Liang stone statue suddenly shifted to himself, "What?".Ling Hao coughed, then pulled Lu Bu out of the temple gate, turned around, entered another temple, pointed at another stone statue inside the temple, and forced a smile: "Didn't you see? Meng Huo made two statues. Temple, one article and one military, to keep the barbarian land safe forever."

Lu Bu looked at the stone statue in front of him, and was speechless for a while.Ling Hao shook his hand in front of the man's eyes, and then "puchi" smiled, "It's actually okay, at least it highlights your heroic posture on horseback." Although the human face can basically be ignored... Lu Bu's face turned dark, he really I really want to catch Meng Huo and ask why horses are more delicate than humans...

Just when they were almost reorganized, Zhuge Liang stayed in the wild land for a few more days at the invitation of Meng Huo.Meng Huo changed his previous attitude, and treated Zhuge Liang very well. He sent people to the army all day long, including pearls, golden treasures, lacquer and medicinal materials, and even cattle and horses. It is to serve as military capital for Zhuge Liang.Being given gifts by Meng Huo, who suddenly became so enthusiastic, was a bit overwhelming. Zhuge Liang had clearly said before that he would not take a cent of the barbarian land, but Meng Huo forced it into his hands. All the treasures in the mountains have been sent away. "By the way, there is one more thing. This is the most precious treasure of our barbarian land. It is just for the emperor to present it to the emperor after Zhuge returned to the court." Meng Huo asked someone to present a brocade box. "What is this?" Zhuge Liang opened the brocade box. Inside the box was a piece of satin red silk, on which lay a few bright red pills exuding a strange fragrance.

"The name of this product is Chixiang Wan. It is a elixir refined from thousands of precious medicines in our Manland. It has the effect of prolonging life. Only six pills have been refined in Mandi. Now I offer them all to show my sincerity in surrender." .

Ling Hao couldn't help being curious about this, but he didn't know which one was better, Chixiang or Linglong Dan. Zhuge Liang only glanced at it, and then said: "One is enough, there is no need to offer them all, and you keep the rest for yourself." That’s fine.”, “It’s okay, as long as the medicinal materials are there, they can be re-refined after all, and the military adviser will accept them.” It’s easy to say, the whole Nanman has only refined six in these years, so it can be seen that this thing has It's so precious, but it's hard to refuse the kindness, Zhuge Liang couldn't refuse, so he called someone to take another brocade box, only took three, and pushed the rest back to Meng Huo, "That's it, refining this thing is also worth it." It will take a lot of work, and you can take the rest."After all, they only took three, and Meng Huo didn't say any more when he saw this. He learned that Zhuge Liang and the others had almost cleaned up, and finally held a big farewell banquet.

In fact, to be honest, Meng Huo has a brain, his personality is still very upright, and being an ally is also a choice that he will not betray. In this way, the royal land of the Han Dynasty finally completed the last piece of territory, and the wind and rain are precarious. The world of the Liu family has basically stabilized.

Farewell to Meng Huo, the journey back is not as rushed as before. Counting, it has been several months since I left Shangdu. I don’t know if everything is going well when I go back to the court. There won't be any trouble... Thinking of this, Ling Hao felt a little ashamed, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao were fine, he was just worried about Sun Ce's temper.Perhaps it was because Ling Hao was in a daze for too long. Lu Bu, who was riding side by side, could tell what this man was thinking at a glance. Thinking about going back, there would be more opponents for no reason. He would rather stay here for a longer time, at least Ling Hao Hao spent most of his time on his own, and Zhuge Liang would not be able to dominate Ling Hao all day long.

"There are a lot of things to do when I go back. First, I have to settle Ling'er's marriage. After this, I have to invite my elder brother to come—" "Does Han Zimo know about our affairs?" Lu Bu suddenly interjected, Ling Hao paused, looked at the man, and saw the eagle eyes of the other party looking straight at him, "This..." Ling Hao coughed, and as expected, he saw Lu Bu's eyes were a little dissatisfied, "I'm afraid that big brother won't be able to accept it..." , Han Zimo knew that Zhao Yun's affairs had already been hit hard. If he let the other party know that there were other people besides Zhao Yun, he would really be kicked out of the house. "But don't worry... I will find a suitable time to talk to my elder brother..." "Forget it, if you find it difficult, don't worry about it. Think about it, he probably won't agree." Lu Bu raised his eyebrows slightly. "If Han Zimo orders you to get married, I can go to Han's house to propose marriage the next day."Ling Hao was speechless when he heard the words, and glanced at Lu Bu, "You are enough, I am not a woman, why do you propose marriage.", "There is no rule that the person who proposes marriage must be a woman." Lu Bu took it for granted.It seems that this is indeed the reason... "Do you mind the eyes of the world?", suddenly changed the subject, and Lu Bu seems to be particularly persistent in this matter today. "If I minded, I wouldn't choose this path..." Ling Hao muttered in a low voice, and Ling Hao was a little strange, "What's wrong with you today, why do you always mention this kind of thing?".

Lu Bu didn't answer right away, but just bowed his head and pondered for a moment, as if he was thinking about something, before saying, "I want to marry you."Ling Hao almost choked when he heard the words, and seeing that Lu Bu's expression didn't seem to be joking, he wanted to say don't make trouble, but when he met those eyes, he looked very serious—"I told you I'm a man, how can you marry me? Me.", "Then you marry me.", "...", Ling Hao was completely speechless, "Is there any difference between marrying and marrying? Also, why didn't I marry you.", "Because you are below.", "...", Ling Hao was almost driven crazy by this conversation, this person must have been stimulated by something, how could he suddenly have such a thought.

"I just don't want to wrong you, and you have to be careful when you are with me. Since you don't mind the world, why don't you want to make it public? You know I don't care. After the court is stable, I don't care if I don't want to be a general.", from beginning to end , what I want has always been Ling Hao. In terms of identity and status, this person is not much behind me. He should be shoulder-to-shoulder, but he has to worry about the relationship between the two.Ling Hao fell silent. In short, Lu Bu wanted to make the relationship public.In fact, I don't care, I just think it's not good to talk about it. After all, broken sleeves have been a controversial topic that has been criticized since ancient times. "Even if you add a 'good manliness' to your description in the history books in the future, doesn't it matter?" "It doesn't matter." What else could he say, "After the affairs in the court are over, everything will be up to you ", Lu Bu's eyes moved after he finished speaking, "That means you are willing to marry me?".

Ling Hao was choked again, "When did I say that? Who said you have to marry me if it's public?", "But don't husbands and wives have to go through this step?", "I'm a man , thank you.”, “It’s the same with husbands and wives.”, “……”, “You’ve never been married before, don’t you want to try it again?”, Lu Bu suddenly smiled meaningfully, “The wedding night is a lifetime. Great thing."Faced with the naked teasing in the man's eyes, the temperature on Ling Hao's face rose a few degrees unbelievably, then he glanced at the man and stopped talking. What kind of subordinate is this, who just takes pleasure in teasing him?

Ever since he knew about the special relationship between Ling Hao and Lu Bu, Wang Ping felt more and more ambiguous between the two of them. Seeing the two walking alone on the way back from the march and leaving the brigade, he could only see Ling Hao constantly changing. expression. "What are you looking at?", the line of sight was blocked suddenly, Wang Ping was startled, and then he saw Li An looked at him suspiciously, "No, cough cough, do not see evil.", "Do not see evil?" , Li An frowned, turned his head and glanced to one side, Ling Hao and Lu Bu were on the edge, so there was no place to treat evil... The people under Liu Bei's command were indeed one-to-one strange.

Besides, on the court side, the letters sent by Zhuge Liang's army have been uninterrupted for several months. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was naturally happy when he learned that the Nanman had been settled, and it was not difficult to know when the group would return. With Pingman's achievements, coupled with the reputation accumulated on weekdays, presumably there will not be too many people in the court to object. As for how to get Zhuge Liang from Liu Bei, it will be over with an imperial decree. The world is peaceful, and Zhuge Liang is here. His role in the court is much greater than that under Liu Bei, but all the prerequisites must be approved by Zhuge Liang, and it is not known how well Ling Hao has completed this task.

The army returned to Shangdu as scheduled. It was summer when it went there, and it was almost early autumn when it came.As soon as Zhuge Liang's army entered the city gate, the continuous trumpet sounded with the sound of drums, and the people on both sides of the road were rejoicing, and their voices came and went.Under Liu Bei's command, there were several times when the common people lined the road to welcome this kind of thing, but after all, there was no such scale as in the imperial city. Come on, the matter of recommending Zhuge Liang to the court must be smoother.
