Meng Huo, the dog, had been waiting for humiliation and crawling over, but it was actually to assassinate Yan Liang.
This courage is indeed worthy of praise.
However, he seriously underestimated Yan Liang's reaction ability.
Although Yan Liang only laughed wildly on the surface and looked unprepared, in fact, Yan Liang's pair of eagle eyes were always paying attention to Meng Huo.
Just as Meng Huo's thief hands quietly touched his waist, Yan Liang was already wary of it. When Meng Huo suddenly jumped up, Yan Liang's tiger palm had already tightened his Qinglong Sword.
Meng Huo, who jumped up, waved his shaky dagger and rushed towards Yan Liang, thinking that his assassination was about to succeed.
Suddenly, when Yan Liangyuan's arm trembled and he didn't see clearly how he made a move, the Azure Dragon Sword in his hand had already swept through Meng Huo's eyes like lightning.
Then at a moment, Meng Huo felt a sudden chill on his wrist. He was in the air and glanced at him with a squint, but was frightened to find that his dagger-holding palm had been brushed from his wrist in an instant by Yan Liang.
cut off.
Immediately afterwards, just before Meng Huo could scream, Yan Liang had already kicked it out and kicked Meng Huo hard in the chest.
With a "click", Meng Huo's ribs had broken several times.
Amid the screams, Meng Hunuo's big body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and blood was sprinkled on the broken wrist, falling heavily a few steps away.
"Ahhh"
The sternum was broken and the palm was peeled off. Under the double torture, Meng Huo was so painful that he lost his mind. He covered his wound and howled, rolling on the ground in pain.
"Just with this little skill of a three-legged cat, you dare to assassinate Gu, Meng Huo. Are you making a joke?" Yan Liang mocked coldly.
Meng Huo, who failed the assassination and was seriously injured, was so scared that he was so scared that he endured the pain that he hurriedly leaned on the ground and kept begging for mercy.
If Meng Huo had the intention to die together, then he, who had suffered pain at this moment, was completely afraid.
"Lord, this guy has done many evil things and dares to assassinate his lord today. Please tear him to pieces!" Zhou Cang, the indignant person, asked him angrily.
Yan Liang sneered: "This barbarian thief naturally wants to kill, but it is not here, nor at this time. I want to bring him back to Chengdu and impose a death sentence in front of the Sichuan people."
Yan Liang wanted to kill Meng Huo in Chengdu to tell those ambitious people that Yan Liang even had the rebellion in Nanzhong. From now on, no one in Shu will be the enemy. Who still has the intention to rebel?
, Meng Huo is your end.
Zhou Cang understood Yan Liang's intention and immediately ordered his personal soldiers to tie Meng Huo up and take good care of him.
Yan Liang, who captured Meng Huo alive, thought it was not enough, so he continued to order his soldiers to kill wildly, and it was necessary to kill all the barbarian soldiers in Xindao City, and kill no one left.
This killing took place from afternoon to dusk, and the shouts of killing gradually stopped.
All the six thousand barbarian soldiers remaining in Xindao City have been killed, and no one remains.
He was still not satisfied with killing all the barbarian soldiers. He also ordered the barbarian soldiers to cut off all their heads and build a Rentou Mountain outside Xindao City to promote this terrifying "performance art" to the barbarians in the south.
deterrence.
In Xindao City, news of the annihilation of the Meng Huo Legion soon spread throughout Nanzhong.
For a time, the people of the Southern Central Barbarians were frightened and gave up their resistance one after another. The tribes either fled to the deep mountains or wrote a letter to surrender to Yan Liang.
The prefects appointed by Yan Liang took advantage of the opportunity to recover the lost counties and counties.
The rebellion of the barbarians in the south was pacified within a few days.
Of course, Yan Liang refused to give up, so he immediately ordered the counties to continue to search for fleeing barbarians, and issued an order to kill all the men in the Yizhong area, and to punish all the women as slaves.
Because Meng Huo's army was redeemed for martial arts, several battles were fought, and the young and strong forces among the Southern Yi tribes were almost lost. Therefore, facing Yan Liang's order to kill the Yi tribe, the Yi tribe had almost no room for resistance.
, he could only escape to the mountains with no life, trying to avoid this disaster.
As for the Han tyrants in the Southern Central, they were naturally happy to see Yan Liang's order.
Originally, among the seven counties in the southern center, the Han tyrants and the Yishou were equally divided. After Meng Huo raised his army, in order to buy the Yishou, he supported them to swallow up the land of the Han tyrants and powerful people.
Now Yan Liang destroyed Meng Huo, and a killing order to destroy the Yi people in the south. After the Yi people were destroyed, the remaining land that the official collects would naturally fall into the hands of the Han powerful people.
In addition to the land, the hundreds of thousands of barbarian slaves were also a huge fortune. How could the Han tyrants not be jealous?
Therefore, Yan Liang ordered this and the Han tyrants in the counties were naturally excited. Without any mobilization, they took the initiative to create private parts and cooperated with the prefects of each county to implement the order to kill the barbarians.
Of course, Yan Liang knew that the powerful men and women in the Han surname in Nanzhong responded to themselves in this way, in addition to oppressing Meng Huo and being angry, of course, they valued interests.
Although Nanzhong is peaceful today, Yan Liang will no longer allow these Nanzhong tyrants to return to the Liu Zhang era and live the life of the local emperor.
What Yan Liang had to do was not only to make the seven counties in the south middle nominally support his rule, but also to be in essence under the control of his Grand Sima Mansion.
Therefore, in addition to continuing to reuse Yang Feng, Gao Ding and others as county magistrates, Yan Liang appointed Li Hui as the prefect of Zhuti and also the governor of the south, making him the highest military commander of the seven counties in Nanzhong, and left 6,000 Sichuan soldiers to take charge.
Zhuti.
At the same time, while Yan Liang rewarded Gao Ding and others, he ordered them to send their children and nephews to Chengdu as hostages.
Yan Liang took a two-pronged approach and used both kindness and power to ensure that the seven counties in the south are firmly under the leadership of the Grand Sima Mansion and prevent those powerful Han surnames from planning separatist.
Now Yan Liang has a 60,000 army that has dominated the new road and has not yet retreated. Although the powerful people of the seven counties are quite powerful, how dare they compete with Yan Liang?
The prefects of the counties were moved by Yan Liang's military power and kindness, so they naturally did not dare to disobey Yan Liang's intentions. They all sent their children and nephews happily as hostages.
After more than half a month of kindness and power, Yan Liang roughly completed his deployment in Nanqi County. He was thinking about the front line of northern Sichuan, and was still facing the fierce attack of Cao Cao's army, so he was unable to stay any longer. So he immediately raised his troops and returned to Chengdu.
After many days of long journeys, on the afternoon of that day, Yan Liang led a victorious army of 60,000 troops to Chengdu in a mighty manner.
On the day when he returned, Pang Tong and Zhang Song were the important officials who were left behind in Chengdu, all the civil and military officials left the city to greet him.
The scholars and citizens of Chengdu who heard the news were also crowded with people, and they all welcomed Yan Liang's victory back.
"Long live the Grand Sima"
"Long live the Grand Sima"
The scholars and people from Chengdu who bowed their heads to the ground shouted at the same mountain.
If the last time Yan Liang stepped into Chengdu City with his head high, the worship of these scholars was frightened by Yan Liang's majesty, then this time, their worship of them was from the worship and conquest of their hearts.
This unintentionally won people's hearts. Speaking of which, Yan Liang also attributed to the two guys Liu Zhang and Meng Huo.
In order to fight against Yan Liang, Liu Zhang did not hesitate to collude with the barbarians. His shameless behavior has already caused the remaining support of the Shu people to disperse.
The news of Meng Huo's massacre of Han people was reunited, which made the Shu people hate Meng Huo and his barbarians to the core. Yan Liang wiped out Meng Huo and killed the barbarians, which was equivalent to giving them a breath of anger.
All kinds of things make Yan Liang look like a hero in the minds of the people of Sichuan.
It is precisely because of this that Yan Liang can enjoy the welcome from the heart of Shu people, long live the mountain calling.
When Yan Liang rode his horse in front and held his head high, Meng Huo, who had his wrist broken, was locked in a prison car and entered Chengdu in a parade situation.
"Dogman, go to die"
"Beast, tell you to kill me Shu people!"
"Kill him to death, kill these barbarian dog thieves!"
After the Chengdu scholars along the street welcomed Yan Liang with smiles, they soon changed to anger to treat the demon Meng Huo in their eyes.
The angry scholars and citizens were cursing and throwing dirty things such as vegetable leaves at Meng Huo in the prison cart.
Meng Huo, who was covered in dust, was covered in filth, dirty and stinky.
Once upon a time, Meng Huo wanted to enter Chengdu and rule the Shu people here. Now, he finally came to Chengdu City, but the result was completely opposite to what he dreamed of.
Meng Huo, who was smashed, could only have a bitter face, besides the angrily scolded by the people of Shu, and endured the humiliation of being beaten and smashed.
Meng Huo regretted that he shouldn't have been arrogant and greedy for a moment, but he dared to go against Yan Liang, but he fell to the point where he was today.
Looking back at Meng Huo who was flooded by filth, Yan Liang's proud face was filled with a cold and sarcastic smile.
"Menghuo, don't worry, your torture has just begun, I want to slowly kill you."
Laughing wildly and riding a horse forward.
...
Hanzhong, Nanzheng.
In the military palace, Cao Cao was carrying his hands on his back and stared at the map on the wall in a daze.
A little anxiety appeared on his dark yellow face. After watching the picture for a long time, Cao Cao sighed softly.
There seemed to be a little helplessness hidden in that sigh.
More than a month passed, and his army of 70,000 to 80,000 attacked the front line of Jiameng Pass, which had less than 30,000 troops for a long time, but he was unable to move forward.
In the southern part of Shu, the news that Liu Zhang was destroyed and Meng Huo was repeatedly defeated has long been passed back.
In Hebei, Liu Bei's army had already captured Fanyang, and the army marched straight into the hinterland of Youzhou, reaching Ji County, where Youzhou Prefecture is located.
Although Cao Cao's capture of Hanzhong was a considerable gain, it seemed a bit insignificant compared to what Yan Liang and Liu Bei took.
Cao Cao originally thought that he could take advantage of the power of seizing Hanzhong, take advantage of Yan Liang's failure to withdraw, and break into the hinterland of Shuzhong with one go, expel Yan Liang in one fell swoop, and take down the entire Yizhou.
At that time, he, who had Yong, Liang, Yi and four states, would reverse his strength and become weak in one fell swoop.
Unfortunately, an old man from Yan Yan, a surrendered general from Jiangdong, and a rebel general from the Yuan family, Zhang He, led his army outside the Shu Sect and dragged it for more than a month.
"Hateful!" Cao Cao attacked the case hard and said to himself in annoyance.
As he finished speaking, footsteps sounded, and Liu Ye hurriedly walked into the lobby.
"Report to the Prime Minister, Yan Liang has captured Meng Huo alive from the information he just received, and led an army of 60,000 to Chengdu a few days ago." Liu Ye said with a serious face.
"What!" Cao Cao exclaimed in shock, his incredible eyes seemed to be unable to believe his ears.
