In the spring of the third year of Jianxing (AD 225), Zhuge Liang led an army to conquer Central South. Yongmin knew that Zhuge Liang came from a unified army, that is, he consulted with Gao Ding and Zhu Bao, and the soldiers were divided into three roads, each with 50,000 to 60,000 people to meet them. Gao Ding was defeated in a confrontation with the Shu army, and the pioneer E Huan was captured. Zhuge Liang ordered him to untie the shackles, treat him with wine and food, and put him back to persuade Gao Ding to surrender. Zhuge Liang used Gao Ding's attack to kill Lv Yong and Zhu Bao and pacify the three counties. Zhuge Liang ordered Gao to be the prefect of Yizhou and always took photos of three counties.
After Zhuge Liang pacified the three counties, he continued to invade and went deep into the barbarian land. At this point, the latter sent Ma Su to kill the army. Zhuge Liang asked Ma Su for advice on pacifying barbarians. Ma Su said, "The barbarians relied on their deep mountains and dangers, but they refused for a long time. Although they broke it today, they will rebel again tomorrow. Husband's way of fighting,' attack the heart for the top, attack the city for the bottom; "Psychological warfare is the top priority, while military warfare is the bottom priority." I hope the Prime Minister is satisfied. Zhuge Liang felt that the proposal was to his liking, so he appointed Ma Su to join the army and then quick march.
Barbarian king Meng Huo heard that Zhuge Liang had recovered three counties, so he got together with Marshal Sandong to discuss. The first hole is Marshal Shengjie, the second hole is Marshal Dong Tuna, and the third hole is Marshal Hui Nan. Meng Huo said, "Today, the Prime Minister Zhuge led an army to invade our territory, so we had to meet the enemy. You three can go three ways, and the winner is the cave owner. " So, Jinhuan and Sanjie took the middle road, Dong Tuna took the left road, and Ah Huinan took the right road, each with 50,000 barbarians, obeying orders. Zhuge Liang heard that Marshal Sandong came in three ways. That is to say, the generals were called to divide their duties. Wang Ping met them from the left, Ma Zhong met them from the right, and Zhang Ben and Zhang Yi met them from it. Zhao Yun and Wei Yan did not assign tasks. After discussion, they took the middle road, captured several barbarians, returned to their village, entertained them with wine and food, and asked about the residence of Marshal Sandong. So he ordered 5,000 soldiers to teach barbarians to lead the way and March into the Golden Ring Sanjie Dazhai. Zhao Yun and Wei Yan entered, and there was chaos in the army. Zhao Yun went straight to Zhong Jun and met Marshal Jin Huan. There was only one encounter, and Zhao Yun stabbed him to dismount. Yu Jun was dispersed. Zhuge Liang also captured Dong Tuna and Marshal A Huinan alive with one move. Zhuge Liang ordered to remove all shackles, give them food, wine and clothes, and let them return to their caves without the help of evil.
Zhuge Liang predicted that Meng Huo would personally lead the troops to fight, so he called Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and Wang Ping to give him a plan to capture Meng Huo alive. The next day, Meng Huo led barbarian soldiers to war, and they met Wang Ping. The two men clashed several times and Wang Ping left. Meng Huo drove the troops forward, Guan Suo fought a little, then left and retreated about twenty miles. Zhang Yi led the troops to retreat, while Wang Ping and Guan Yibi retreated, and the barbarians were defeated. Meng Huo looked at Jin and fled with the mountain, but Zhao Yun stopped him. Meng Huo was so frightened that he looked at the gold and walked along the mountain road. Wei Yan caught him. Most of the barbarians were captured. Zhuge Liang greeted them with kind words, gave them food, wine and rice, and then sent them away. The barbarian was grateful and left with tears in his eyes. When Zhuge Liang heard that Meng You was coming, he cooperated with others and captured Zhuge Liang. Meng You crossed the Lushui River and came to Zhuge Liang's Dazhai. Zhuge Liang heard the news and knew his plan, so he called Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Wang Ping, Ma Zhong and Guan Suo and quietly told him to stick to the plan. Then, ask Meng You to enter an account. Meng You said, "My brother thanked the Prime Minister for saving his life. He has nothing to offer. He has a treasure of golden pearls and has the right to reward Gunnosuke. " Zhuge Liang entertained Meng You, let 100 people sit with him, and taught the generals to persuade them to drink and treat them with courtesy.
Meng Huo learned that Meng You was entertained by Zhuge Liang and made an appointment to meet at 2 o'clock tonight. Meng Huo ordered thirty thousand soldiers to be divided into three teams. Meng Huo called the leaders of the caves and ordered them to bring fire-fighting equipment. When we get to Shuzhai, we will set fire to the number. Meng Huo took Zhuge Liang alive with the Central Army. That night, Meng Huo led hundreds of confidants to Zhuge Liang's Dazhai, and there was no army to stop them. Meng Huo led his troops into Zhong Jun, but no one was there, only Meng You and his soldiers were drunk. Originally, Zhuge Liang ordered Ma Su and Lu Kai to treat them, and they were drugged and drunk. Meng learned that he was a recruit and gave first aid to Meng You and others, but he ran back to the squadron. Wang Ping led the army to kill him, and the barbarians fled separately. When Meng Huo rushed to the left team, Wei Yan led the army to kill him. When he ran to the right army again, Zhao Yun led the army to kill him. The Third Route Army was attacked and there was no way out. Meng Huo abandoned the sergeant and fled to Lushui. Ma Dai led the troops dressed as barbarians and punted here. Meng Huo was captured as soon as he got on the boat. Zhuge Liang recruited barbarians and surrendered countless people. Zhuge Liang smiled and said to Meng Huo, "How could you keep a shilling from me and get caught again this time? Can you accept it? " Meng Huo still refuses to accept his brother's greed for trouble. Zhuge Liang released Meng Huo, Meng You and the leaders of various caves. At this time, the Shu soldiers had crossed the Lushui River, and Zhao Yun and Ma Dai occupied the Meng Huo Da Zhai. Meng Huo hurried to the cave.
Meng Huo returned to Yinkeng Cave, that is, he went to Bafan, Jiusandian and other places, borrowed hundreds of thousands of soldiers from barbarian tribes, and then fought a decisive battle with the Shu army. Zhuge Liang led the army to chase Meng Huo to Xi Erhai Lake, and there was no boat to cross. Zhuge Liang ordered the sergeant to cut bamboo on the mountain and set up a pontoon bridge on the river. On the north bank of Hebei, we set up villages one by one, with the river as the moat, the pontoon bridge as the gate, the south bank of the bridge and the barbarian third battalion. Are you sure you were captured? Meng Huo said, "The mountain is remote and the road is narrow, so I threw myself into your hands by mistake. How can I persuade you to let me go back and reorganize the army and fight again? If I am captured again, I will be convinced. " Zhuge Liang ordered him to remove the shackles, give him wine and food, give him a pommel horse, and send someone to send him out.
Meng Huo assembled barbarians on the south bank of Lushui, built a tucheng, and took a boat to the south bank of Lushui to stop the Shu army from going south. Zhuge Liang found that Shakou Shoal in the lower reaches of Lushui River 150 could cross the river by water, so he ordered Ma Dai to lead two thousand soldiers to cross the river from here, and cut off Meng Huo's grain transportation route first. After crossing the Lushui River, Ma Dai cut off Jiashan's grain route. When Meng Huo heard the news, he sent his lieutenant to lead three thousand troops to battle. Ma Dai had a big fight with Busy Tooth, and as soon as they got together, they cut Busy Tooth longer than the horse, and the soldiers were defeated. Meng Huo sent Marshal Dong Tuna to lead three thousand troops to fight Ma Dai again. Dong tuna was favored by Zhuge Liang, and was known by Shu soldiers in the battle, accusing him of treachery. Dong Bi was too ashamed to speak and left without a fight. Meng Huo was furious. He let out a cry and was beheaded. After repeated entreaties, the chiefs were saved from death. Instead, they beat a hundred sticks and put them back in their villages. Many leaders told Dong that they didn't want to confront the Shu army. In order to save the people from the suffering of war, it is better to kill Meng Huo and vote for Zhuge Liang. Many of them were put back by Zhuge Liang, and they all agreed. They decided that when Meng Huo was drunk, they would enter the account together, tie him up and take him to the camp of the Shu army. Zhuge Liang asked Meng Huo if he was sure of his capture. Meng Huo thinks his men did it this time, not you. How can he be convinced? If you are captured in battle in the future, you will definitely fall in love. Zhuge Liang ordered the left and right sides to untie Meng Huo and still give him wine and food. After drinking, ask Meng Huo to get on the horse and leave the village, look at the grain and grass stored in the stockyard, and then put it back to design and capture. Zhuge Liang led Meng Huo to guard the stockade and induced him to rob it.
Meng Huo returned to the village, sent people to swindle and kill Marshal Dong Bi and Marshal A Huinan, and then guarded the pass with his cronies. Meng Huo consulted with his younger brother Meng You and said, "Now I know the truth of Zhuge like the back of my hand. I can rob the village with one trick." Meng Huo ordered Meng You to take 100 barbarians to Zhuge Liang's Dazhai, carrying precious gifts such as gold beads and treasures. As an insider, Meng Huo led an army of Meng Huo to challenge him at night until he shouted insults at the entrance of the village. Zhuge Liang told the generals to stick to it and not to go to war. The Shu soldiers held on for a few days. Zhuge Liang saw that many barbarians were lax in Gaofu, so he called his generals to prepare for the attack. Zhao Yun and Wei Yanxian were cheated, so were Wang Ping and Ma Zhong. He also told Ma Dai: "I have retired from Hebei and abandoned these three villages; As soon as our army retreats, you will dismantle the pontoon bridge, go downstream and cross the river to meet Zhao Yun and Wei Yan. He also said to Zhang Yi, "Our army is retreating, and there are many lights in the village. Meng Zhizhi will chase it and you will break it. " Zhang Yi acted according to the plan.
Meng Huo led the barbarians to the front of the village, only to see that Sanzhai was empty and the flags of Hebei were still neat. Meng Huo judged that Zhuge Liang had withdrawn from the army because of an emergency in the country, so he pretended to be a suspect and abandoned his car. He can catch up quickly and won't miss it. But the pontoon bridge has been pulled down, so we can't cross the river. Meng Huo sent people up the mountain to cut bamboo into rafts and cross the river. By this time, Shu soldiers had gone deep into Meng Huo's territory and killed them from behind. Meng Huo was frightened and hurried back to his old village. Zhao Yun has occupied the old village and fought his way out. Meng Huo hurried back to Erhai Lake, trying to find a secluded place, but Ma Dai stopped him. Only a few dozen defeated soldiers of Meng Huo fled at the valley. Zhuge Liang sent people to set a trap at the mountain pass, forcing Meng Huo to the mountain pass, falling into the trap and being captured by Wei Yan. Zhuge Liang asked Meng Huo, "What's the point of being caught again?" Meng Huo said, "I was tricked today and I will die unsatisfied." Zhuge Liang rebuked the samurai and launched a beheading. Meng Huo was completely fearless and said to Zhuge Liang, "If you dare to let me go back again, I will take revenge four times." Zhuge Liang laughed and let Meng Huo go again.
Meng Huo and Meng Younan fled to Longtu Cave and were received by the cave owner, King Dorsey. Doss said there were two ways to get through the cave. The northeast road is flat, with thick soil and sweet water, which is feasible for people. If the hole is broken with wood and stone, although there are millions of people, it is not allowed to enter; The northwest is dangerous and the water is evil. The smoke is heavy at dusk, and it will not be collected until afternoon and noon. Water can't be drunk, and it's hard for people to walk. It is difficult for the Shu army to get here. Meng Huo was very happy and ate with King Doss all day. Zhuge Liang led the army in pursuit of Meng Huo. When Meng Huo was found unable to get out of the Dragon Map Cave, he broke the hole and could not move forward. Zhuge Liang ordered Wang Ping to lead hundreds of troops to the front and teach the barbarians who had just fallen to lead the way to find the northwest route. Juntu was thirsty on the road and drank the spring water, but he could not speak. Zhuge Liang was shocked when he heard the news and knew it was poisoning. When he led dozens of people to see it, he saw a pool of clear water, which was bottomless and cold, so the sergeant dared not try. Zhuge Liang searched and searched and came to a mountain villa. There is a stream behind the villa called Wan 'anxi, which can detoxify. There is a noble man in the village named "Wanan Hermit". Zhuge Liang visited the hermit and got the poison in Wan 'an River. And the hermit's advice, digging water to drink is nontoxic. There is a kind of fragrant rue called "Ye Ye" in the villa, which can prevent miasma. Hermits make people from all walks of life take it. Each population contains one leaf, and miasma does not invade. Zhuge Liang returned to Dazhai, ordered the sergeant to dig water, and got Ganquan, so he led his troops safely from small to large and went straight to the village in front of Ba 'erdong.
Meng Huo discussed with King Dorsey and decided to fight against the Shu army. Just then, Yang Feng, the owner of the neighboring cave, led thirty thousand soldiers to help. Meng Huo was overjoyed and gave a banquet to entertain each other. During the dinner, Yang was ordered to dance with the barbarians in the army, making his second son hold a lamp. The second son raised a glass to Meng Huo and Meng You, and they only wanted to drink when they raised their glasses. Yang Feng let out a cry, and the second son was about to take the seats of Meng Huo and Meng You, and Dorsey Wang was also captured by Yang Feng. I'm afraid to move forward in a wild battle. Yang Feng said to Meng Huo, "My brothers, sons and nephews have all felt Zhuge Liang's saving his life, and there is nothing to report. Of course you are rebellious now. " Yang Feng ordered the barbarians in each cave to return to their hometown, and sent Meng Huo, Meng You and Duo Si to Shu Zhai. Zhuge Liang rewarded Yang Feng. Smile and say to Meng Huo: "Are you convinced this time?" Meng Huo said that this is because people in their caves are killing each other, so they still refuse to accept it. Zhuge Liang released Meng Huo, Meng You and King Dorsey.
Meng returned to Yinkeng Cave and gathered more than 1000 partisans to prepare for another battle. There are three rivers in front of the cave (the confluence of Lushui, Xicheng and Gannan), which are guarded by King Dorsey. When the Shu soldiers arrived in the Three Rivers, they immediately attacked the city. There are many crossbows in the city, and one crossbow sends ten arrows. The arrows are poisonous, so it is difficult for the Shu army to attack the city. Zhuge Liang asked the troops to retreat and not to close the village. At the latest, Zhuge Liang ordered the sergeant to take a dress and wrap it in pure land. Hundreds of thousands of Shu soldiers and more than 10 thousand soldiers fell, and all the soil they collected was piled up at the gate, and immediately piled up into mountains and became a city. At one command, all the Shu soldiers entered the city, most of the barbarians were captured, the rest abandoned the city and fled, and King Dorsey died in the disorderly army. The Shu army occupied Sanjiang and went to the cave front village.
Meng Huo also sent people to Bana Cave to ask the cave owner, King Muru, for help. King Mulu can do magic, and he can drive tigers, leopards and wolves to the battlefield, but no one can beat him. Zhao Yun and Wei Yan went into battle, and King Mulu drove all the tigers, leopards and wolves out. The Shu army could not resist and retreated one after another. Zhuge Liang knew for a long time that Nanman had the method to drive tigers and leopards, and there were also countermeasures to go south. Zhuge Liang ordered people to take out the red tanker and open it. They are all colorful beasts carved with wood. They all use five-color wool as sweaters, steel as minions and fireworks in their mouths. Zhuge Liang chose 1000 elite soldiers to drive away 100 behemoths. The next day, Zhuge Liang drove his troops into the cave. King Muru claimed to be invincible, that is, he led his troops to fight Meng Huo. King Muru drove the tiger, leopard and jackal out of the battle, and Zhuge Liang rushed out with the fake beast. When the real beasts in the cave saw the fake beasts spitting flames, emitting black smoke from their noses and shaking two bronze bells to show their teeth, they all ran back to the cave. Zhuge Liang drove the troops forward, King Mulu died in the disorderly army, and Meng Huozong fled over the mountains. Zhuge Liang's army occupied the silver pit.
The next day, Meng Huo's wife and younger brother took the cave master, captured Meng Huo, his wife, Mrs. Zhu Rong, and more than 100 people who belonged to the party alive, and surrendered to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang ordered Zhang Ben and Ma Zhong to lead two thousand chosen men to ambush in two corridors, and then ordered the gatekeeper to let them in. Hundreds of people, including Meng Huo, who brought the cave master, bowed down in front of the temple with knives and axes to solve problems. Zhuge Liang shouted loudly, "Get out of here." Two strong soldiers in the corridor came out together, both tied up. Zhuge Liang said, "How can you hide this little trick from me?" . You saw it twice, and the people in this cave captured you and surrendered. I didn't hurt you. You only told me that I believed in it, so you came to fake surrender and tried to kill me in the cave. "He ordered the samurai to search him, and sure enough, everyone was carrying a sharp sword. Zhuge Liang said to Meng Huo, "You won't believe me until you say you will go to your house to catch him. How about today? " Meng Huo said, "We came to die voluntarily, which is beyond your control. I don't believe it. Zhuge Liang said, "I have arrested you six times, but I still refuse to accept it." When do you want to stay? "Meng Huo said," When you caught it for the seventh time, we surrendered wholeheartedly and we will never go back! "Zhuge Liang ordered the samurai to release Meng Huo and his sect.
Meng Huo gathered the defeated troops and came to Ukraine to ask the Lord for help. The whole territory of the Ukrainian army wears rattan armor, and crossing the river is not heavy, and the water is not wet and invulnerable. The name is "Fujiajibing". Meng Huo solemnly declared to his master and asked for help. 30,000 Fujia soldiers got up from Wutu Bone, went northeast, went to Taohua Ferry and went to Xiazhai to wait for the Shu army. Meng Huo gathered barbarians in various times and refused to fight. Zhuge Liang marched into Taohua Ferry. On the other side, he saw a savage soldier and a human figure, very ugly. He also asked the natives that the peach leaves fell and the water could not be drunk. Zhuge Liang retreated five miles, leaving Wei Yan to guard the village. The next day, Hugo led Fujimori's soldiers to cross the river, and Wei Yan confronted them. Shu soldiers shot an arrow at rattan armor, but it couldn't penetrate and fell to the ground; Knife and spear can't get in. Barbarian soldiers all used knives and steel forks, and the Shu soldiers could not resist and all failed.
Zhuge Liang is going to attack this invulnerable rattan armor with fire. Tell Zhao Yun and Wei Yan to guard the village and not to treat it lightly. He personally went to the remote place on the north bank of Taohuadu to see the terrain. Zhuge Liang went to a valley, shaped like a long snake, with bare stone walls and no trees. There is a big road in the middle, which the natives say is Pansnake Valley, and the valley is Sanjiang Road. Zhuge Liang chose the Pansnake Valley as a place to attack rattan armour soldiers with fire. Zhuge Liang returned to the village and ordered Ma Dai to transport ten black oil drums to the Pansnake Valley, which contained pre-made cannons, also known as mines. Bury one in thirty steps, with a bamboo pole in the middle; Zhaoyun was ordered to prepare a grass cart, put it at the mouth of the valley, and prepare trees and rocks on the mountain; Wei Yan was also ordered to go to Taohua Ferry Village. If the barbarians cross the water and fight, they will abandon the village and leave until Leitian. They were limited to 15 days to lose 15 battles, give up seven stockades and lead barbarians into the snake valley. The king of Ugo chased the Shu soldiers. When he saw that there were no trees and no ambush in the Pansnake Valley, he went after them with confidence. When I reached the valley, I saw ten tankers blocking the road. Barbarian soldiers said that this was the grain truck left by the Shu army when it was defeated. The upright bone is overjoyed, so we should step up our pursuit. When I was about to leave Gukou, I saw no Shu soldiers, only bars and stones rolled down, and the base broke Gukou. The upright bones gave way, but suddenly I saw the car in front of me loaded with dry wood and everything caught fire. Wutugu hurriedly ordered to retreat, and the back exit was also breached. The car was full of gunpowder and burned together. On both sides of the mountain, torches were littered with torches everywhere, the line of traditional Chinese medicine was lit, guns and fires flew up on the spot, the flames danced between the valleys, and the rattan armor of the rattan armor soldiers caught fire. Wutugu and its 30,000 rattan armour soldiers were burned to death and embraced each other, and both died in the Snake Valley. Zhuge Liang's move was cruel. He also sighed with tears: "Although I have made meritorious service for my country, I have to lose my life!"
After Zhuge Liang set fire to the soldiers in Fu Jia, he sent a group of surrendered barbarians to falsely spread the news that Hugo had won, lured Meng Huo and his people to Panshe Valley, and captured them all. Zhuge Liang asked Meng Huo, "Are you obedient now?" Meng Huo said, "There has been no such thing since ancient times. Although I am a layman, I know etiquette and justice. Why am I so shameless? " Therefore, brothers, wives, people, etc. , kneeling under the tent, naked, apologetic. Zhuge Liang asked Meng Huo to pay the bill and hold a banquet to celebrate. Meng Huo is still the owner of the cave, and all the land he seized was returned. Zhuge Liang used a large number of indigenous surnames as officials, achieving the goal of leaving no soldiers, transporting no grain or transporting no grass. Zhuge Liang moved to Chengdu in December.
