Silver Fox of the Three Kingdoms

Gao Ding died in the chaos, and tens of thousands of barbarians surrendered.

By the evening, Zhuge Liang's prime minister had already entered the dilapidated Qiongdu County.

In the old hall of the yamen, Zhuge Liang sat high on the main seat, with Han soldiers on each side, and Wang Ping stood guard on one side like a servant.

"Go in!"

Soldiers pushed several Yi tribe leaders to come in.

Like the Qiangdi, the Yi people belong to the tribal system, consisting of various tribes, large and small, to form a super tribe.

And Gao Ding is the leader of the largest Yi tribe in Yuejuan County, so he was elected as the king of Yizui by the public.

But this does not mean that he is the boss of all the Yueyi people. There are other tribal leaders under him, who just came to participate in the rebellion at his invitation.

At this moment, many leaders were captured one after another. Zhuge Liang looked around them and said: "Everyone, Ningzhou is a Han country, and you are all Han people. When I sent people to conquer Yongkai, some people followed him. Why are you rebelling now? ?”

Among them, Ana, the leader of the Yi tribe in Luli, Nanguang, said: "Because the king of Yi called us, we all obeyed the king of Yi, so we raised our troops."

Zhuge Liang said: "Gao Ding has died in the rebellion, and there will be no king of Yi in Yuejuan. From then on, the officials of the court will rule Yuejuan. Do you have any plans to avenge Gaoding?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, all silent.

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "If you are willing to surrender and never rebel again, the imperial court is willing to help you live in Ningzhou, cultivate fields together, dig gold and silver mines, and open commerce for the benefit of the south. What do you guys think of the conclusion of the covenant?"

"I will wait."

Many Yi tribe leaders responded one after another.

So Zhuge Liang wrote down the covenant and asked everyone to draw their fingerprints to sign it.

When the covenant was delivered to one of them, the big man turned his head to the right and turned a blind eye.

The scribe who delivered the covenant looked at Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang said: "Who are you? Now that you have surrendered, why didn't you sign a covenant?"

The man shouted: "I am Jianning Menghuo. This battle is because Gao Ding refused to listen to me and insisted on going out of the city. I am defeated in a decisive battle. I am not convinced. If I return to the tribe and gather troops, I will definitely defeat you."

"Oh?"

Zhuge Liang took a look at this person, and saw that he was tall and tall, wearing barbarian attire, with a sturdy face, and he seemed to be quite powerful.

The Yi people are the same as the Qiang Di people, the strong are respected.In addition to being the biggest leader of the Yi tribe, Gao Ding, the king of Yueyi, is also very powerful because of his personal strength, and he also has a fierce general E Huan under his command, so he is very powerful.

Meng Huo is actually the leader of the Yi people in Jianning, but he has a lot of friends and has a very good relationship with the Yi people in the surrounding counties and counties. He has a high prestige.

As a result, Gao Ding refused to listen to him, and went out to the city for a decisive battle. He was defeated by Zhuge Liang, which made Meng Huo very unconvinced, so he was unwilling to sign a covenant of submission.

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan and said with a smile: "I came to Nanzhong because I want all the people in Nanzhong to submit to the big man, and the rest of you are willing to submit. But you don't want to, which means that you don't admit defeat in your heart. If it is easy to kill you, it may be difficult to convince the public."

E Huan, who was willing to submit to the side, said: "We are from the Yueyi tribe, and even the king Gao Ding was beheaded by the prime minister, so we are convinced. The leader Meng is from the Jianning Yi tribe, and he will indeed be a little bit dissatisfied if he didn't use his own army. "

"Ah."

Zhuge Liangliang nodded and said: "Since that's the case, then I'll let you go back and fight me again after you gather troops and horses."

"it is good!"

Meng Huo turned his head and left immediately, and the soldiers on both sides did not stop him, allowing him to leave the Han army camp.

Seeing that he was so perverted, Wang Ping was a little unhappy, and said to Zhuge Liang: "Prime Minister, it's just waiting for the barbarians to be killed, so why indulge them?"

Zhuge Liang sighed: "How easy is it to kill him? But the barbarians are inexhaustible. Only by convincing them will Nanzhong stop rebelling."

"The prime minister is wise."

Knowing that Zhuge Liang wanted Nanzhong to never rebel, Wang Ping was extremely impressed.

Here they continue to sign the covenant.

After Gao Ding's death, all the Yueyi and Yi people were willing to surrender, and even E Huan voluntarily defected and joined the Han army to add a strong general to Zhuge Liang.

After Meng Huo left there, he left with thousands of Yi people he had summoned from Jianning to help Gaoding.

He returned to Jianning without stopping.

Of course, Jianning was not the only barbarian leader. Most of the other barbarian leaders led an army of [-] to [-] people, and surrounded Li Hui in Dianchi Lake.

According to Meng Huo's thinking, at this time, the Jianning Yi people should have broken through Dianchi Lake and captured the big Han Yu alive as the governor.When I have Li Hui as a bargaining chip, and unite with all the Jianning Yi tribes, I will definitely be able to fight Zhuge Liang to the death.

However, it was not until Meng Huo returned to Jianning in August that he learned the bad news. Li Hui defeated them, repelled most of the Yi people in Jianning, and even chased them all the way to Zangcang County.

His tribe in Jianning also suffered heavy losses, so Meng Huo had no choice but to go back to the tribe first and summoned the remnants of the tribe, more than 1 people, to prepare to go to Zangcang to gather manpower.

As a result, before he set off, the Han army had already surrounded his Yi village in Jianling County.

"Go in."

In the camp of the Han army, Meng Huo was tied up and sent to Zhuge Liang's camp.

Because he was afraid of hurting the old and young in the village, Meng Huo did not dare to fight. After half a month of siege by the Han army, he led his soldiers and horses to break out from the back mountain, but was ambushed and captured alive again.

"Meng Huo, are you convinced?"

In the camp, Zhuge Liang sat on the main seat and asked with a smile.

Meng Huo was still dissatisfied and said, "This time it was because Li Hui used tricks to defeat our Jianning Yi people, and I couldn't let me gather troops to defeat them. How can this be convincing?"

"Oh?"

Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said, "Then I'll let you go again. Most of the Yi people in Jianning were chased by Li Hui to the Panjiang and Zangcang areas. You can gather your own troops."

"it is good!"

Meng Huo was overjoyed, and left again swaggeringly.

Wang Ping looked at him and said, "Prime Minister, isn't this person a rascal? If he is still unconvinced, won't we have nothing to do with him?"

"It's okay."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Meng Huo has a lot of friends in the seven counties of Ningzhou, and he is full of friends everywhere. Everywhere he goes, we will break him once, so that we can suppress the Yi people in the seven counties, and at the same time make no one dare to fight." Help, when he is at the end of his life, he can only be convinced."

At this time, Li Hui, the governor of Jianning who was stationed in Jianning, also came in at the right time and reported to Zhuge Liang the current situation in Jianning.

The governor’s seat was located in Weixian County, Jianning County, which is later called Qujing, Yunnan. At that time, the area around Dianchi Lake was the living area of ​​Yi people. For example, Meng Huo was the leader of the Yi people in Jianling area of ​​Nanzhong Dianchi Lake. The prestige here is extremely high, just like the king of Yi.

Right now, because Li Hui defeated the Yi tribe in Jianning with tricks, Meng Huo's tribe and the rest of the united tribes were dispersed, and there are still some Yi tribe leaders left, all of whom are willing to express their submission.

Zhuge Liang also signed an alliance with them, and then continued to pursue Meng Huo.

Meng Huo fled to Cang County.

At this time, Zhu Bao, the prefect of Cang County, was defeated by Ma Zhong in Bulang Mountain, Fu County. Kui County was the later Zunyi City, Guizhou.

The Jianning Yi people were pursued by Li Hui to the Tanzhi, Louwo, and Xinghan areas in the southwest of Zangcang, that is, the southeast and southwest areas of Luoping County, Qujing, Yunnan Province in later generations.

Meng Huo ran to Louwo, summoned the old department, and was overjoyed to learn that Zhu Bao was having a talk, so he hurriedly took his men to join him in the talk.

But what Meng Huo didn't know was that Zhuge Liang led the Han army on the vast pastures of Hanyang County, later Weining Yi Hui and Miao Autonomous County, and there were countless barbarians in the distance.

There was a sea of ​​grass in Weining County in later generations, but it did not exist in the Han Dynasty.

Because the formation of Caohai was the continuous rainstorm for more than 40 days during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, the mountain torrents broke out, and the water flowed into the basin. In addition, this was originally an ancient river channel, and there was groundwater, and the water flow was condensed and formed.

Now it is a huge basin, forming a grassland terrain. Due to the abundant groundwater and the ability to reclaim fields, it is occupied by the largest Yi tribe in Zangcang County.

From Hanyang County in Zhuti County, to Pingyi County in Northeast Zangcang County, Yelang County in the southeast, Hanshui (now Sancha River), Yanjiang (now Liuchong River) and other places are all the sites of this Yi tribe. , its tribal leaders are extremely dignified, and they use Shu brocade to worship their ancestors. There are 46 tribes.

It can be said that in Cang County, this tribal barbarian king is the Dazong favored by everyone in Cang County.The Zangyi people all listen to their orders, and in the eyes of the Zangyi people, their prestige is far higher than Gao Ding's status in the eyes of the Yueyi people.

At this moment, a barbarian was riding on horseback, slowly heading towards the direction of the Han army.

He has deep eyes, a tall body, a tall and majestic figure, a dark complexion and white teeth. He wears green cloth as a bag, and his hair is caged in it. It looks like horns. He is about forty years old. .

Zhuge Liang was still sitting in the four-wheeled cart, shaking the feather fan in his hand, and looked at him with a smile.

The man cupped his hands following Han etiquette and said, "Ji Huo pays homage to the prime minister."

"General Jihuo, hurry up and get up."

Zhuge Liang smiled and stretched out his hand to signal, and said: "The general understands the righteousness and leads the people to surrender. It is really a wise choice."

Ji Huo laughed and said, "The prime minister is a man blessed by the heavens. I dare not disobey the will of the heavens. When I come here this time, I will lead the crowd to greet the prime minister, make an alliance with the prime minister, and at the same time accumulate food channels for the prime minister and pursue Meng Huo!"

"it is good!"

Zhuge Liangliang nodded and said: "If the general has such a heart, he will be favored by the heavens. Then follow me to attack Zhu Bao and Meng Huo."

"Yes."

Ji Huo bowed down.

He has 46 of them, and the area of ​​Caohai is where Mangbu is located.

Now that an order was issued, the various ministries quickly launched operations. Only a few days later, the news that Meng Huo was heading north to talk widely was sent to Zhuge Liang's army.

Zhuge Liang originally planned to intercept Meng Huo himself, but Ji Huo volunteered, hoping to help Zhuge Liang.

Seeing that he was so active, Zhuge Liang was not easy to attack, so he agreed to let him go.

As a result, Zhuge Liang was still in Hanyang, and Jihuo's more than ten tribes in the Yelang area immediately heard the news, besieged Meng Huo, and sent him to the Han army camp in September.

"Go in!"

The soldiers pushed Meng Huo, who was tied up, into the camp again.

This is the third time I have entered the Han camp.

Zhuge Liang still sat on the stage, looked at him with a smile and said, "Meng Huo, you have been captured alive three times, are you convinced?"

"I don't accept it, I don't accept it!"

Meng Huo was about to explode, and said: "Jihuo colluded with you. I passed by Yelang and thought they were of the same clan and could be trusted. Clinker Jihuo suddenly attacked me. Besides, you were not the one who won the battle on the battlefield. You sent someone else, how can this convince me?"

"Okay, then let you go back, next time I will beat you with my own hands."

Zhuge Liang waved his hand.

This time Meng Huo learned his lesson, and immediately said: "My tribe must be returned to me, otherwise how can I defeat you on the battlefield with dignity?"

"okay."

Zhuge Liang smiled, although Meng Huo's tribe was captured by Ji Huo, but Ji Huo has surrendered, and he is his subordinate, so he can naturally make decisions for Ji Huo.

At that moment, Meng Huo was released again, and fled southward in desperation with tens of thousands of remnants.

As for Zhu Bao, he was not so lucky.

Jihuo asked to attack Zhu Bao, and with a call, more than [-] Yi people in Zangcang County, together with Ma Zhong's tribe, surrounded Zhu Bao, and it was hard to fly.

Only a few days later, Zhu Bao's subordinates killed him and donated Guangtan City. Since then, the rebellion in Zangcang County has been completely put down.

In this way, adding Yue Yu and Zhu Ti, Zhuge Liang has pacified three of the seven counties in Nanzhong.In Jianning County, only Meng Huo was left with a stubborn mouth and refused to accept softness.

And after Meng Huo went south, he returned to Jianning, convened tens of thousands of plays, and discussed plans with his younger brother Meng You and his wife Zhu Rong.

"I was captured alive several times in the camp of the Han army. I already knew the deployment of their tents. You led more than a hundred elite soldiers to pretend to surrender and took the opportunity to kill Kong Ming. I will launch an attack outside and cooperate with the inside and outside. I will definitely defeat the Han army."

Meng Huo had an idea.

Meng You naturally had no objection, so the two brothers acted immediately.

In mid-September, Zhuge Liang's army went south to Dianchi Lake again, and was about to attack Jianling. At this time, Meng You came to vote and expressed his willingness to surrender.

Zhuge Liang heard about this in the camp, and said to Ma Liang: "Meng Huo refused to admit defeat, how could his younger brother suddenly surrender? Ji Chang, do you think there is any fraud in it?"

Ma Liang said with a smile: "Of course there is fraud, I wrote down the plan on paper, what does the prime minister think?"

"it is good."

Zhuge nodded brightly.

So Ma Liang wrote Meng Huo's plan on paper, and Zhuge Liang laughed, so he accepted Meng You's proposal, and set up a banquet to bring the high-strength wine made by Nanyang Huangmen Distillery.

Meng You likes to drink alcohol, and the more he drank it, the more addicted he became. As a result, more than 100 people soon fell asleep, and all fell to the ground drunk.

A moment later, the Han army suddenly became chaotic, and there were shouts of killing in the camp.

Meng Huo, who was lying in ambush outside the camp, suddenly felt that the big thing had been accomplished, and immediately gave the order for a general attack. Tens of thousands of barbarians rushed in, only to find that the camp was empty, only Meng You was sleeping soundly.

"Go in!"

In the afternoon, Meng Huo, who was ambushed again, was pushed by Wang Ping into the Dianchi county government office.

Zhuge Liang still sat on the main seat, and asked him with a smile: "Meng Huo, now you have been captured for the fourth time, have you ever been convinced?"

Meng Huo said loudly, "It's all because of my younger brother's drunkenness. It's definitely not because of my scheme. If you can't beat me upright, I will never admit defeat!"

"Okay, let him go."

Zhuge Liang waved his hand.

Now Meng Huo entered the Han army camp just like he had entered his own house, and left again swaggeringly.

Seeing this situation, Wang Ping said angrily: "Prime Minister, this is the fourth time. This beast has never changed after repeated admonitions. When will he be beaten?"

"Not urgent."

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "If you want to convince the Nanman, don't be in a hurry. Your Majesty will formally launch the Northern Expedition in the next year. At this pass, there must be no chaos in the rear."

"Ugh."

Wang Ping sighed.

He felt that Meng Huo was really a rascal.

It's just a cooked duck, only the mouth is stubborn, and it will not admit defeat.

If this goes on, when is the head?
