The Three Kingdoms of the Widow

Chapter 121 (34) Emperor Wen returned without success in conquering the east, Wuhou Pingnan attacked

There were a total of three rebellious counties, so when Zhuge Liang sent troops, he was divided into three groups.

Zhu Bao of Zangke was a minor character, and Zangke was relatively far away from the other two counties. Zhuge Liang directly asked Ma Zhong to lead the East Route Army to suppress the rebellion and stay in place to succeed the prefect, and immediately started the compensation work.

Ma Zhong wanted to go back to his division to join the big troops, but Yang Yi advised him: You only need 500 people to suppress the rebellion and come back again, it is not enough to toss about, you have helped the prime minister a lot if you stabilized Zang Ke.

Ma Zhong's East Route Army marched very smoothly. He really worked hard to counter the rebellion, and then stationed there. Later, he was worshiped as the prefect of Zangke.

The more difficult ones were Zhuge Liang's Central Route Army and Li Hui's West Route Army.

Gao Ding, who was fooled by Yong Kai, had the most soldiers and horses in his hands.The result of the discussion between Zhuge Liang and Li Hui was to concentrate superior forces to deal with Gao Dingjun first, restore the jurisdiction over Yuexie County, and then Yongkai in Yizhou County. Meng Huo, who lost the help of these two men, was weak and could only return his own Go to the tribe, and it will be easy to attack Menghuo at that time.

The task of Li Hui's West Route Army was to go around to the middle of Yizhou County and Yuexuan County along the small road, and cut off the connection between Meng Huo and Gao Ding and others.

The task of the decisive frontal battle was handed over to the Central Route Army.

Before Li Hui and Ma Zhong left, Yang Yi asked Zhuge Liang, "Is the Prime Minister sure about this arrangement?"

"Win is certain." Zhuge Liang said, gently turning the gossip on the feather fan.

"But to win is simply beautiful, leaving no disaster."

The gossip includes Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, and Dui.

The human body has seven gates, namely, the gate of heaven is at the Niwan, the gate of the earth is at the tail, the gate of the middle is at Jiaji, the gate of the front is at the bright hall, the gate of the back is at the jade pillow, the gate of the building is at the trachea, and the gate of the house is at the heart.

The first game is against.

Zhuge Liang led his army to Beishui, posing for a decisive battle.

Gao Ding had suffered a lot from Li Yan, and became more careful. Although he really wanted to win once to get back his face, he didn't really want to confront Zhuge Liang face to face. At that time, the local army, how could he? Fighting positional warfare with the regular army directly under the Central Committee.But Yong Kai didn't care, he didn't touch any nails, and Zhuge Liang didn't lead much more people than himself. He also started to gather troops in Beishui, and he even commanded Gao Ding's people. Gao Ding was very upset, but Yong Kai had no choice. He was the leader, and all the tribes in the south listened to him, including Meng Huo, who also started to lead the team to Beishui, so Gao Ding couldn't say anything.

Meng Huo failed to reach Beishui. Li Hui had been waiting to intercept him in Yizhou County. Gao Ding, who got the news, realized that it was not good. He immediately ordered to stop the assembly, but Yong Kai refused to listen, and a conflict broke out between the two. , Gao Ding became impatient, and directly killed Yong Kai.

The order to assemble Beishui came to an abrupt end.

The spies sent by Zhuge Liang for two consecutive days reported that Beishui's army had not assembled, and Zhuge Liang knew that the situation had changed, so don't wait, anyway, Beishui's army is not too small, let's fight!

At this time, the number of Beishui's army was only about half of that of the Central Army, and the loss of a coach, Yong Kai, was just when people's hearts were unstable. As soon as the two armies came into contact, Gao Ding's army retreated. The situation was really one-sided.

Gao Ding had no choice but to withdraw his army to Qiongdu, but Zhuge Liang didn't give him a chance to rest. He pursued all the way and surrounded Gao Ding's army in Qiongdu. Gao Ding failed to break through with two thousand remnants and died in battle.

Yuejuan County was pacified.

Surrendered in the Second World War.

Meng got the news of Gao Ding's death in battle, so he retreated towards his hometown in Yizhou County.

Li Hui chased after him.Others advised Li Hui not to go deep alone, and to wait for the Central Route Army, but Li Hui refused to listen.

It didn't take long to be surrounded by a bunch of tribal armed forces.

These tribes may not be close to Meng Huoduo, but Meng Huo is also a native of "his own people" after all, and Li Hui is a complete "foreign body". The elimination of "foreign bodies" by the tribe can probably be compared to the "rejection reaction" inherent in the human body.

The person who once persuaded Li Hui said to Li Hui: "If you don't listen to those who persuaded you, it's better now!"

Li Hui was not depressed, but very happy: "The opportunity to make contributions has come!"

Everyone thinks that Li Hui is crazy: "How to make contributions?"

"Surrender!"

...well, sure he's crazy.

"I'm not crazy." Li Hui said, "Didn't you realize that there are several groups of people surrounding us? And they are not of the same mind. Otherwise, they would not have just surrounded us for two days without any other movement. This shows that they are all waiting and watching, each with their own ideas. Calculate."

Alliances that are not united are meant to be divided—Senior Sister Guo has long asserted that.

"To whom we surrender, how we surrender, and what we do after we surrender are all opportunities to exploit."

Li Hui took out some of the gold, silver and Sichuan brocade that accompanied the army, and sent people to surrender to the two largest tribes in the area. He said very pitifully, he only asked for his life, and gave them the army and the money that the army brought.At the same time, he said: "Even if you surrender, don't look for Meng Huo! I would rather die! If you want to surrender to Meng Huo, it will be the greatest shame in your life!"

The leaders of the two tribes were so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths shut. Li Hui sent someone to suggest to them: "Anyway, the army will be yours in the future. Let's count as a family. Why don't we kill that obtrusive Meng Huo together?"

This is a good opportunity to expand their own power, and the tribal leader readily agreed, and agreed on a time and code for internal and external cooperation.

As soon as he turned around, Li Hui "casually" disclosed the news to some prisoners of Meng Huo's army who were detained in the army, and "very carelessly" let these people escape.

Meng Huo was furious at the report, and immediately led his troops to question the crime. The two tribal leaders were still immersed in the dream of success. Unexpectedly, Meng Huo suddenly turned his face, unprepared, and drew his sword twice.And the small tribes next to them didn't know what happened, and they also fought together in panic.

Li Hui was waiting for this opportunity. He decisively led his troops to attack, not only captured Meng Huo alive, but also pacified Yizhou County in one go.

Meng Huo was captured and learned from the pain. He begged to see Li Hui and expressed his willingness to surrender. He also offered to ask his tribe to offer valuable things such as rhino horn, ivory, spices, and gold to show his sincerity.

Li Hui wrote to Zhuge Liang overnight asking how to deal with Meng Huo. Within a few days, an urgent reply and gifts from Meng Huo's tribe arrived.After reading Zhuge Liang's letter, Li Hui ordered Meng Huo to be taken with him.

Meng Huo entered the army tent, saw a lot of animal skins and tiger claws, and saw that Li Hui ordered someone to untie him. He knew that his tribe had come: "Li Dudu (Li Hui worshiped the governor), our tribe is really sincere. Return, now all kinds of items have been delivered, please let me go back, lead the subordinates, etc., and come collectively to surrender."

"Meng Huo, you don't have to pretend, you're pretending to surrender. I've just used this trick, and you're learning it quickly, but do you think you can hide it from me?" Li Hui interrupted Meng Huo rudely.

Meng Huo was taken aback: "I am really sincere..."

"If you were sincere, you wouldn't ask a pawn to bring a gift. Don't you have deputy chiefs in your tribe, and your younger brother has several, why don't you let them come with tokens?"

"So you're going to kill me today!" Meng Huo suddenly revealed a fierce look when he heard that he was exposed.Seeing this scene, the soldiers on both sides put their hands on the handle of the knife.

Li Hui waved his hand indifferently, signaling to the left and right not to be so nervous: "I won't kill you, here, this is a letter from the prime minister, let you go back, and return your soldiers and all your belongings. You If you don’t accept it, pack up and come back.”

Meng Huo couldn't believe it.Li Hui turned around in the tent, as if thinking of something again: "Oh, yes, the prime minister also said that next time you will send ransom, you will send less fancy things. I heard that you have a kind of tree." It's called 'Jinjina', next time the ransom will send more saplings. Also, the ransom will not be refunded this time, the prime minister said, let more government schools be built in the four counties, you are short of money, you guys The ransom will cover this cost, and no money will be allocated from the treasury, and I will let His Majesty directly issue an edict to commend you in the future."

The three battles are called persistence.

Zhuge Liang crossed Lushui River in May, entered Yizhou County, and went deep into the southwest frontier.

After several encounters with the vanguard, Meng Huo refused to fight. He lost everything from weapons to soldiers' quality. Meng Huo fled to the cottage and couldn't hold out.

Yang Yi wondered why Zhuge Liang didn't just attack the city like he did in the past. Anyway, it seemed that Meng Huo's village was nothing more than wood and bamboo buildings, and it was definitely not as strong as the stone city he had fought in the past.

"We are not familiar with the structure of those bamboo villages. If we attack rashly, there may be unnecessary casualties. Have you seen the news reported in the past few days?"

Yang Yi saw that occasionally the single person or the team was attacked miserably, and the bamboo arrow and bamboo raft killed them, and some were nailed up and skinned...

"Barbarians!" Yang Yi said bitterly.

"'Those who belong to the barbarians and the Chinese are also Chinese; those who are Chinese to the barbarians are also the barbarians.' Gongwei, you now know why I let Li Hui preside over the Jianguan School. Meng Huo has lived in the southwest for a long time. As a foreign race, his customs and habits are quite different from mine. In the same way, if he does not strive to be kind and educate the people, he will surrender reluctantly and will rebel soon, even if he is afraid of the military power and does not rebel, it will be difficult to manage."

"But he can't hold on now..."

"If he makes a solid wall and clears the country, and then flees south into the deep mountains, I really can't do anything, because it means that he really doesn't dare to fight for victory anymore; now that he has established a stronghold here, it means that he is still dissatisfied and wants to fight. , it’s just that he can’t fight head-on, and he plans to wait for the opportunity. So, we still have a chance to capture him.”

Zhuge Liang thought for a while and asked Yang Yi: "Did you find the person you were looking for?"

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, he has been found. Unfortunately, this person's family was lost in the rebellion army, and he is already alone, but he has seen Meng Huo several times, and has some friendship with Meng Huo."

"Okay, let him go as planned."

Yong Kai's lieutenant general suddenly came to Meng Huo. Meng Huo was worried that he had come to pretend to surrender again, but he knew this person.

The man gritted his teeth and recalled how Yang Yi threatened him to lie to Meng Huo that Zhuge Liang would take a few people to Tuo Tuo Mountain to inspect the terrain tonight, luring Meng Huo to lead his troops there, but in fact, Zhuge Liang would order people to deploy heavy troops on Tuo Tuo Mountain .Yang Yi said, if you can't lure Meng Huo out, your family will die!

"My family died early in Qiongdu! It's ridiculous that they thought I didn't know and threatened me with this!"

The man was crying as he spoke, and Meng Huo knew what he said was true: "What do you want to do?"

"Zhuge Liang's soldiers are sent to Tuo Tuo Mountain, the camp must be empty, let's go and rob the camp! Even if Zhuge Liang is not in the camp, we can't capture him alive, at least we can let out a bad breath!"

Meng Huo didn't agree immediately, but the man saw it: "Nanwang doesn't believe me!"

"It's not that I don't believe it. In fact, Zhuge Liang and his subordinates are all cunning people. You and I thought of it, I'm afraid they would have thought of it a long time ago! Is there any fraud in this?"

The man thought for a while: "Since this is the case, the King of the South can send a team to see what's going on in Tuo Tuo Mountain first. If Zhuge Liang didn't deploy troops on Tuo Tuo Mountain, the people will definitely return."

Meng Huo felt that this method was safe, so he sent his own brother Meng You there, and then... there was no more, and there was no news from the team.

Sure enough, Tuotuo Mountain arranged an ambush!

Meng Huo immediately sent an order: Go and rob the Shu army camp!

When the large group of people came to the Shu army village, the village where there were not many lights was suddenly brightly lit, and the knives and halberds were lined up densely. On the Wheel Cart—Who Is Not Zhuge Liang?

"Meng Huo, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Zhuge Liang's tone was calm and breezy, not pretentious at all, and he waved the feather fan lightly in his hand.

Meng Huo was shocked, and turned to look at the messenger. He was even more surprised than himself: "Could it be tricked again?"

"Are you talking about Mount Tuo? Gong Lu."

A general next to him waved his hand, and the soldiers pushed a man forward, and Meng Huo recognized that it was his own younger brother.

"Tuo Tuo Mountain does not have heavy troops——Meng Huo, are you wondering why no one told you this news? In fact, the answer is very simple. Meng You and his party are all trapped in the gossip formation set up in advance, and they can't get out at all. , how to report to you?"

"elder brother--"

"Quick retreat—" Meng Huo had no intention of fighting.

Zhuge Liang looked at Meng You: "I understand your feelings very well, your brother is too fraternal. However, whether he withdraws or not, you brothers will meet each other. Meng Huo! Don't run away! Behind you is Yang Yi's bandit. army!"

What Zhuge Liang said was very accurate, Meng Huo was captured again, this time it was more miserable, he was locked up with Meng You, and Meng You ignored him.

"Then let's use the benefits to redeem people. Don't forget the 'Jinjina' tree this time." Yang Yi sneered, "How could we let anyone arbitrarily surrender without carefully examining their identities?"

"Aren't you going to kill me this time?"

"Meng Huo, you really want to die that much." Zhuge Liang came to see Meng Huo in person, "Gongwei, let me let you loose."

"Prime Minister, Meng Huo is really hateful! Many soldiers died tragically, and the generals all said that they would avenge their subordinates!"

"Let it go! Their tribe has already sent things."

This time the gift list is twice as rich as last time.

Zhuge Liang specially served wine to the two brothers, and then sent someone to show Meng Huo around: "How is our army?"

Meng Huo looked at those granaries, armories and the like: "I hate not knowing each other, the public is easy to win."

"What is 'Yi Sheng'?"

"It can be said that you know me, but I don't know you. How lucky is this victory! If I know my foundation and stick to it without being confused, how can I win?"

Zhuge Liang smiled without answering, and ordered Yang Yi to bring Meng Huo to a place, and lifted the grass leaves on the ground, revealing a big hole: "Meng Huo, you will know when you enter here."

Meng Huo walked in suspiciously. It was a very long tunnel. When he got to the end and saw the light, he got out and found that he had reached his own village.

The Four Wars use poison.

Meng Huo gave up his original village, and there was nothing left to do if he didn't give up. All the tunnels were dug up.

The newly chosen camp was in a cave surrounded by solid rock.

"Brother, what should we do? Still stick to it? I don't think it's useless. Zhuge Cheng has really thought of everything we can think of, and every escape route has been blocked for us. Now he has occupied the old Zhuzhai, I see this Shizhai won't last long either."

Meng Huo knew that Meng You still hated him: "Okay! Didn't I go to save you? Don't keep saying discouraged words!"

"I don't need to say anything discouraging, but I still have to remind you about another thing: your woman and my woman are about to give birth, and if you want your children to live in this cave for the rest of their lives, then you must Do it."

Meng You didn't even look at his brother, stood up from the tiger skin mat and left.

Of course he would not tell Meng Huo that he went down the tunnel after Meng Huo that day. Before going down the tunnel, Zhuge Liang specifically asked about his and Meng Huo's family situation. When he heard that they were both about to become fathers, Zhuge Liangliang nodded "No wonder you are so anxious to send the ransom. Your family is very worried about you." Then Zhuge Liang ordered someone to fetch two exquisite neck ornaments made of multicolored silk thread and gold, and handed them to Meng You: "According to the customs of the Han people, when a child is added to the family, I want to wear a long life thread for my child, so that I can live a long life and have a smooth life. This is my congratulatory gift to you two. In a hurry, without any more preparations, I will ask someone to prepare a few pieces of Shu brocade for you. The subordinates carry it back and cut some clothes for the children—I know you wear fur and linen every day, so Shu brocade is considered fresh."

Meng You didn't dare to hand over the Longevity Thread and the Shu Brocade to Meng Huo, so he secretly kept them—these things were really beautiful, and they were different from the rough things he used to use, so he couldn't help but envy them.

It didn't take long for Meng Huo to bring Meng You back again, because he decided on the next strategy: if you can't win the battle with troops, you can do crooked ways, for example, poisoning.

Meng You was taken aback when he heard this: "Brother, where did you poison it?"

"I saw their granary and poisoned the grain."

"Their food and grass are guarded by special personnel, how do they poison them?"

"In the Han camp, there are also some high-definition soldiers, let them help."

"But I heard that the Han army still distributed food, and our tribe also went to get food!"

"I can't control that much anymore! It's a big deal to get rid of the Shu army!" Meng Huo insisted on going his own way.

Meng You couldn't stop his brother, so he could only quietly come to Hanying to deliver the letter in the middle of the night.

Zhuge Liang met him in a hurry, and Meng You said the whole thing: "Prime Minister, I think my brother must be poisoned in the grain and grass, and I persuade him to think about the tribe, but he doesn't listen! I can only secretly send a message to the prime minister: the poison is aconitum juice. Be careful!"

Zhuge Liang was taken aback, Meng You left in a hurry after delivering the letter, Zhuge Liang ordered Yang Yi to see him off.

When Yang Yi returned, he saw Zhuge Liang walking up and down the room worriedly.

"The prime minister really shouldn't have brought Meng Huo to see where our food and fodder are. Now... now it's much easier for him to poison us!"

"Gongwei, immediately order the food and fodder officer to check carefully every day, and the guards should be careful to prevent someone from poisoning! Anyone who is negligent will be punished by military law!"

But someone was poisoned the next day. Fortunately, he was prepared. This person didn't eat much, and he survived by feeding on raw eggs.

The grain and fodder officer, the soldiers guarding the grain depot, and the cook were all suspects, but after careful investigation, none of them came from Gaoding, and they all insisted that they had not seen any suspicious persons.

On the third day, some people were still poisoned, but this time there were more people.

On the fourth day, one piece fell, and there was an example of death.

"Prime Minister..." Yang Yi was extremely anxious.

"Gongwei, what is the situation in the people's homes?"

"Is the food still distributed?"

"Because the defense was strengthened, after Meng You came, he distributed it for a few days, but...in the past few days, I haven't heard of anyone being poisoned...It is said that some people ate rice noodles on the spot, and...I didn't see any discomfort ..."

"We were fooled!" Zhuge Liang propped his forehead angrily, "Meng Huo didn't even tell the truth to his younger brother!"

"Prime Minister...?"

"The first time I heard about this, I was always wondering how much food can be polluted by aconitum juice, and it is impossible to poison it on a large scale!"

"The prime minister means..."

"It's not food that is poisoned! It's water! It's the well water we used here!"

Yang Yi suddenly realized.

Because of the experience of fighting in the Central Plains, the soldiers have always been very strict in guarding food and grass, mainly not for anti-virus, but for fire prevention, and they dare not relax in the slightest.But few people care about well water. Anyone who is thirsty can drink a pot. There is almost no such thing as sending troops to guard the well.Therefore, it is the easiest and most effective way to poison the well. No one can stop drinking water.

Zhuge Liang now occupied the stockade that Meng Huo had used, as well as the well that Meng Huo had used. Of course Meng Huo was very clear about the distribution of water sources, so he just sent anyone in secretly to poison him.It's not that Zhuge Liang is not unprepared for poisoning the well water, but this was only when he first took over here, because he was not familiar with the local conditions at that time, and he also knew that there were many more poisons than in the Central Plains, so just in case, the water source Fish must be raised before use, but once it is safe, no one will raise fish every day.

That's why those soldiers were poisoned, and even the kitchen planned to use water from the well.The people who were not poisoned were because they used the same water source as Zhuge Liang and Yang Yi. After Yang Yi came, he found that there was a mountain spring in the village. The source probably came from a certain river, but after being filtered by vegetation, the spring water was clearer and sweeter than the river outside. And the well water tastes good. After Yang Yi tested that it was non-toxic, he provided it to Zhuge Liang.

Flowing water cannot be poisoned.

Yang Yi hurriedly ordered people to fetch water to raise fish, which proved Zhuge Liang's conjecture.

"Meng Huo is too vicious!"

"Fortunately, these wells are only used by the army, and the people have not been harmed."

"Prime Minister, what should I do?"

"Don't say anything, send people to watch the well secretly, catch the person who poisoned, and you should immediately send people around to find other water sources."

"Yes."

"Wait a minute!" Zhuge Liang suddenly remembered, "Call the military doctor, hurry up!"

Meng Huo was in a panic at this moment.

Because his wife was lying on a tiger skin moaning with severe abdominal pain.The sorcerer was doing it on a high platform beside him, and the fire that burned hallucinogenic plants (such as some kind of fly amanita) smoked a puff of smoke, and the sorcerer smelled it hungrily.

"What did the Great God say? Is the child okay?"

"The great god said," the wizard's voice was as sharp and piercing as fingernails scratching a stone wall, "this child is not a human being, but a god! Therefore, you must take it back! This is the will of the great god, and you must not violate it! Otherwise, everyone in the tribe will be killed." Will be burned by wildfire, swallowed by white water, scorched by lightning! No one will survive!"

Meng Huo was so sad that he punched the stone wall, and Meng You stood beside him: "Brother..."

At this time, someone suddenly came in and reported: "Report—Zhuge Liang sent someone!"

"What!" Meng Huo turned pale with shock, and Meng You was also stunned, "Zhuge Liang led the troops to call!"

"No... no, just a few people. They said they were the subordinates of Yong Kai and General Gao Ding in the past. Zhuge Liang asked them to come with prescriptions and medicinal materials, saying that they were here to treat Madam's illness! Those people said that Zhuge Liang told them that Madam It's the same poison as the Shu army, it's all because of aconitum..."

Meng Huo and Meng You glanced at each other.

Meng Huo knew in his heart that the trick of poisoning had been seen through.

"Brother! Prime Minister Zhuge has already seen it. Don't use this trick anymore. My sister-in-law is already like this. No matter what, I have to try to save her! Call people in!"

Meng Huo turned around silently, watching his wife lying there struggling and moaning: "The Great God said, this child is a god, so I can't keep it."

Meng You was in a hurry: "But...but the Shu Army didn't call themselves Heavenly Soldiers? Heavenly Soldiers are gods who protect the gods. Maybe they can save the child!"

Meng You's words woke Meng Huo up, and he asked people to bring those people in.

Meng Huo's wife drank the medicine and gradually calmed down.

Seeing that the wife was quiet, the person who brought the medicine said to Meng Huo: "The prime minister told us to tell the king of Nan not to let the lady touch aconitum. If there are many aconitum grass here, it is better to change to another place for the sake of the child. "

The last sentence angered Meng Huo: "This kind of favor is trying to buy people's hearts! You are not forcing me to retreat and give up the territory! You go back and tell Zhuge Liang that I will not retreat. Not only will I not retreat, but I will fight again !"

The fifth battle is called reinforcements.

Meng Huo ordered to remove all aconitum near the cave.

Then he began to rack his brains to figure out where he lost.

"Too few people!"

Meng got to such a conclusion.It can't be said that he is wrong to think so. His troops are indeed far behind the Shu army in terms of numbers.

Meng Huo thought of his old father-in-law, who had an army of rattan armor in his hand, which was invincible and very powerful.If this person is invited as a reinforcement...

Without further ado, Meng Huo immediately sent someone to find Yue Zhang, asking for a loan of troops, and explaining that if he defeated the Shu army, he would gain half of the territory.

His father-in-law sent all the rattan armor troops here, which is really worthwhile.

Meng You wanted to report again, but Meng Huo put him under house arrest: "I knew it was you!"

So Meng You could only watch worriedly as Meng Huo took the initiative to lead an army of troops to fight the Shu army full of confidence.

Zhuge Liang heard that Meng Huo actually took the initiative to attack, so he knew there must be some reason for this. She only sent a small team to go. As for the loss too much.

None of the squad survived.

Meng Huo had verified the strength of the Tengjia Army, and went back full of ambition. He knew that Zhuge Liang would be shocked and frightened immediately, and he was excited when he thought of this.

But when the Shu army was cleaning the battlefield, a soldier who was not dead gave out very important information. He told his comrades: Meng Huo has a new army. There are not too many people, but everyone is dressed strangely. The armor seems to be made of braiding, it can't be cut by knives, it can't be pierced by spears, it can't be splashed by water, it is light and tough.

Finally, the Shu army picked up a small piece of fallen armor and reported it to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang disappointed Meng Huo. She was neither shocked nor frightened. She looked at the piece of armor and said softly, "Oh, there really is a rattan armor army, I thought it was fake."

The other generals were obviously in shock when they heard about it for the first time.

"Prime Minister, this... this thing is invulnerable! What should I do?"

"You can't wear it all over your body. Tell the soldiers to cut at the place where there is no armor and shield!"

"It's not that easy!"

The crowd was arguing fiercely. Suddenly, Zhuge Liang asked a question, and everyone fell silent.

"Here... is there a place called Pan Snake Valley?"

This question didn't seem to have anything to do with defeating the Rattan Armor Army, so after a few seconds, someone stood up and answered, "Yes... yes. That place is dangerous and is where troops are used. Why is the prime minister asking this?"

"Confirm some things." Zhuge Liang did not explain in detail, "You continue to discuss."

Then she took the piece of armor and turned it over and over to look at it.

Zhuge Liang was obsessed with the familiar story - "Fire Burning Rattan Armored Soldiers".She was also obsessed with this brutal method of massacre.

Some people have already discovered the characteristics of rattan armor soaked in oil: "Prime Minister, fire attack! It is not enough to use fire attack!"

As soon as this idea came out, everyone's eyes lit up and they all agreed.

"That would be a terrible burn." Zhuge Liang rubbed his brows.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. In a war, it doesn't matter whether the opponent is miserable or not. Isn't the more miserable the better?

Yang Yi understood Zhuge Liang's thoughts, and he cupped his hands: "The prime minister has a heart of compassion, and he cannot bear the loss of life on the frontier. Moreover, if this battle is fought with fire, the battlefield will be tragic, and everyone in the Southwest may feel in danger and have a grudge against the Han court. This is contrary. The original intention of the conquest of "returning teaching to the king". However, when the prime minister was leaving, he once said to his majesty, "at least half a year, as long as a year." It’s better to know something about this place.”

"What Gongwei said, why don't I understand..." Zhuge Liang continued to look at the piece of armor.

"Prime Minister..."

"That's all," Zhuge Liang got up, "If this matter hurts people's peace, I will be punished by the heavens, that's all."

The second time he fought Meng Huo, Zhuge Liang went to the Pan Snake Valley in person to watch the soldiers carry the fire.

"General Gong will attract people in a while." Yang Yi looked at Zhuge Liang's haggard expression and felt very unbearable. "Prime Minister, let's go back. It's the same with us here."

"I have to look at the sins I have committed myself, and know how serious they are. Only when there will be retribution in the future will I not feel wronged."

Yang Yi always felt that these words were unlucky: "Prime Minister, maybe Meng Huo has learned to be smart and realized that this is an ambush, so he won't come."

"He will definitely come, Gongwei, you don't need to comfort me."

Because Meng Huo felt that he had the rattan armor army and was fearless, he no longer took ambush seriously.

Just as he was talking, Gong Lufei rode by.

Meng Huo chased after him.

Behind them is the Tengjia Army, all infantry, a little far away.

"Pass Meng Huo over and light the fire."

Meng Huo was also wearing rattan armor. The reason why he was not burned to death was that he fell into the pit that had been prepared long ago, and was immediately captured alive by the Shu soldiers. Behind him, the voices of those rattan armor soldiers crying for their father and mother came out—— — almost everyone turned into a ball of fire.

Zhuge Liang just watched like that, and he didn't even hear Yang Yi calling her.

She couldn't hear it at this moment, but she could see those heart-piercing cries and the voice that couldn't be uttered in the end-the carbonized corpse was a terrifying black, with its mouth open.

"Okay, the ambushes are withdrawn, stop lighting the fire, and let them go if they are still alive." The sense of hearing finally came back, and Yang Yi's anxious voice could be heard very clearly, Zhuge Liang finally ordered.

It would be fine if there was a heavy rain, and the responsibility of people can be easily shifted to God: Look, God won't let us burn them, and blame God if we can't win.

God does not take the blame for others.

The author has something to say:

A total of seven battles, for sure, of course, the last "heart" battle did not have a clear subtitle.

The first battle was basically written about historical facts, and the second world war basically respected historical facts... and then started talking nonsense.

Aconitum is grown in Sichuan, so there is no problem in terms of geography.This thing can kill, no problem.The question is whether poisoning is reliable... The conclusion is that it is not reliable, how much aconitine you have to put in so many wells to be effective... So, just watch and play, the author doesn't know the logic.Of course, aconitum can cause miscarriage. This is no problem.

As for Rattan Armored Soldiers, the author really didn't copy Romance of the Three Kingdoms, didn't he just say no to copying. "Science Fiction World" once had an online issue discussing past scenarios.
