Kong Ming asked Meng Huo: "You told me before that if I captured you in your home, you would be convinced. What about now?" Meng Huo said: "This is because we came to die ourselves, not because of you. I
Definitely not convinced!"
Kong Ming smiled and said: "I have captured you six times, and despite the tremendous pressure, you are still not convinced. Are you prepared to wait until when do you insist on me killing you?"
Meng Huo said: "If you can catch me for the seventh time, I will truly surrender and swear not to rebel again."
Kong Ming said: "Your nest has been breached by me, what should I have to worry about!" After saying that, he asked the warrior to untie the rope and scolded: "If I catch you again this time and you still make excuses, you will definitely not be so easy.
Forgive you!" Meng Huo then ran away with his head in his arms.
There were less than a thousand remnants of the barbarian soldiers who returned, many of them injured. They met the barbarian king Meng Huo. Meng Huo collected the defeated troops. He was very happy, but he discussed with the cave master who brought him there and said: "I am now in the cave."
Occupied by the Shu army, there is no place to stay, so where should we go?"
The cave master who brought him suggested: "Now there is only one country that can destroy Shu."
Meng Huo was very happy after hearing this and said: "Which country are you talking about?"
He replied: "More than seven hundred miles to the southeast from here, there is a country called the Ugo Kingdom. The king is named Wutugu. He is two feet long. He never eats grains. He eats the meat of snakes and beasts. He has scales on his body.
, swords and arrows cannot invade, and the soldiers under his command are all wearing vine armor. The vines grow in the mountains and wrap around the stone walls. Their country
People took it and soaked it in oil. After half a year, they took it out to dry, and then soaked it in oil again. Repeated more than ten times, a rattan armor was formed. When worn on the body, it would not sink when crossing a river, and it would not be hit by water.
It is wet and cannot be soaked by swords and arrows, so it became the Vine Armor Army. Now the king can go to them. If you can get their help, capturing Zhuge Liang is like cutting down bamboo with a knife."
Meng Huo was very happy, so he went to the country of Ugo to look for Wutu Bones. There were no houses in their caves, and the people lived in caves. Meng Huo entered the cave, went to visit him and told him what had happened before, adding fuel to the fire and spreading hatred.
Transfer out.
Wutu Gu said: "Since the Shu army has invaded us, there is no reason to sit back and wait for death. I will raise the troops in the cave to avenge you." Meng Huo thanked and went out, so Wutu Gu called the two leading soldiers.
, one was called Tu'an and the other was called Xi Ni. They raised 30,000 soldiers and horses, all wearing rattan armor, and headed northeast of Ugo Kingdom.
Go and come to a big river called Peach Blossom Water. There are many peach trees on both sides. A large number of fallen leaves fall into the water every year. If people from other countries drink this water, they will die immediately. Only Ugo people drink water.
After that, Wu Tu Gu took his soldiers and horses and set up camp near Taohua Water, preparing to wait for the Shu army.
Kongming sent people to find out about Meng Huo and reported back: "Meng Huo went to find the leader of the Ugo Kingdom and took 30,000 rattan armored soldiers to station at Taohua Ferry. Meng Huo also gathered barbarian soldiers and horses from various places and fought hard to resist the war.
.”
After Kongming heard this, he led his soldiers and horses to the Peach Blossom Ferry. He saw barbarian soldiers on the other side. They had no human shape and looked very ugly. He asked the locals and said that the peach blossom leaves would fall into the water today and the water was not drinkable.
So Kongming retreated five miles to the stronghold, leaving Wei Yan to guard nearby.
On the second day, King Ugo led a group of Tengjia troops across the river. The golden drums were shaken. Wei Yan came out with his troops and horses to fight. The barbarian soldiers rose up on the ground. The Shu army shot with bows and arrows, and the bows and arrows hit Tengjia.
They all landed one after another, slashing with knives and stabbing with spears, but all had no effect. The rattan armored soldiers all used sharp knives and steel forks, and each of them had huge manpower. The Shu army was no match for them, and they had no choice but to flee one after another.
The cane armor soldiers returned without continuing the pursuit. Wei Yan returned with the remaining soldiers. When they arrived at Peach Blossom Ferry, they saw only the cane armor soldiers swimming across the river. There were sleepy people inside. He took off the cane armor soldiers and placed them on the water, then sat on them himself.
After crossing the river and going back, Wei Yan was very surprised when he saw it. He went back and reported to Kong Ming, explaining what happened in detail.
Kong Ming also felt strange, so he invited Lu Kai and the local people to ask. Lu Kai said: "I heard that there is a Ugo country among the southern barbarians. They don't care about human relations. They have rattan armor as a protective thing. It is difficult to hurt them. Plus the peach leaves
It can pollute the water source. Only people in their own country will be fine if they drink it. Others will die immediately if they drink it. Even if we win, we will pay a heavy price for evil people like this. What is the use? Why not report it to the new emperor, Banshi?
Go back to court."
Kong Ming smiled and said: "I captured Meng Huo six times and went deep here again. I paid a huge price and spent a lot of brainpower. How can I leave so easily! I will naturally have a way to calm them down tomorrow." So he asked Zhao Yun.
Go to help Wei Yan defend the camp and order him not to go into battle easily.
On the second day, Kong Ming asked the locals to clear the way and drove a four-wheeled vehicle to the ravine on the north bank of Taohua Ferry to check the geographical conditions. Some dangerous places were difficult for cars to pass. Kong Ming could only give up the car and walk. Suddenly he came to
From a mountain, you can see a valley, which looks like a long snake. It is surrounded by stone walls, there are no trees, and there is a road in the middle. Kongming asked the locals, "What is this valley called?"
He replied: "This is Coiling Snake Valley. Beyond this valley is the main road of Sanjiang City. The front of the valley is called Talangdian."
Kongming was very happy after hearing this and said: "This is God preparing to reward me with success!" So he returned to the original road and went back to the camp. He called Ma Dai and said: "I will give you ten black oil tank trucks. You
Tie it up with bamboo, and the contents in the cabinet
, we can make arrangements to guard the troops and horses on both sides of the Coiled Snake Valley according to the method. I will give you a half-month period. Everything must be prepared. When the time is up, arrange it as I said. If the news leaks, military law will be dealt with.
!”
Ma Dai left after hearing the plan clearly, and called Zhao Yun again, saying: "After you go to Panshe Valley, guard the Sanjiang intersection. The necessary things must be prepared tomorrow." Zhao Yun followed the plan and left.
Soon Wei Yan also came and was told: "You can take your troops to the Taohua Ferry to build a stronghold, lure the vine armor soldiers out, then abandon the stronghold and walk towards the white flag. You have half a month to do so."
, we must lose fifteen formations in a row and discard seven camps. If we lose fourteen formations, we must abandon the
Come to me!" This thing Wei Yan did was disgraceful and he was a little unhappy, but he could only carry it out. Kong Ming sent Zhang Yi and another group of troops to build a new camp according to the commanded place, and let Zhang Yi
, Ma Zhong led the men and horses who came forward to surrender in this cave, and they all acted according to the plan, and everyone left one after another.
Meng Huo said to Wu Tugu, the leader of the Ugo Kingdom: "Zhuge Liang has many tricks and is very good at ambushes. When you fight in the future, you must divide your troops into three groups. As long as you see a valley with many trees, you cannot advance easily."
Wu Tu Gu said: "Your Majesty, what you said makes sense. I have long heard that the Chinese have many tricks. From now on, we will implement this idea. I will charge at the front and you will plan at the back."
