Chapter 49 Nanguanghua sent troops to Nanman Cao Mengde pacified Hebei (31

Meng Huo and the three were put back together by Nan Ye and fled back to the old nest silver pit overnight. The Yinkeng Cave is close to Sanjiang City. The three rivers outside the cave are: Lushui, Gannan Water and Xicheng Water. The three rivers converge, so they are called the Three Rivers.

More than 300 miles north of Yinkeng Cave is flat, the soil is fertile, and it is more productive. There are 200 salt wells in the west of Dong, and the salt produced in the well is obtained by Meng, and he gets countless money every year. There is a mountain in 300 south of Dongnan, and there is a silver mine on the mountain, so it is called Yinkeng Mountain. The silver mine on the mountain is also owned by Meng Huo.

On the surface, Meng Huo's nest is in the Yinkeng Cave, but in fact, Meng Huo's foundation is on Yinkeng Mountain. There is also a hole on Yinkeng Mountain, called Liangdu Cave, with a built-in palace platform, which is Meng Huo's real nest. The so-called three cunning rabbit caves are nothing more than that.

The customs in Meng Huo's cave are very different from those in the Central Plains. An ancestral temple was built in the cave, called "House Ghost". At four o'clock, kill cattle and kill horses to enjoy sacrifices, which is called "bu ghosts". If there are prisoners of war, they will sacrifice them with living people. Someone in the cave was sick and refused to take medicine. He only prayed to the wizard, named "Drug Ghost". The use of criminal law in the cave is impermanent, which depends on the words of Meng Huo and the old clan. Those who are exempted from major crimes and those who are also beheaded by minor crimes.

If a local barbarian grows up with a woman, it is convenient to bathe in the stream, and unmarried men can also bathe together. Men and women are confused and allowed to match themselves. Parents can't help but call it "learning art". If the wind and rain are good, you can grow rice. If the rice is not ripe, you will kill snakes and cook elephants for rice. On the first and fifteenth of each month, they buy and sell and trade goods in Sanjiang City.

Meng Huo returned to the cave and gathered the sect party to discuss: "Zhu Rongdong and Dong Yu couple hooked up with Wang Hua, a Han man, and harmed our people. I have been humiliated many times in the war, and I will not avenge myself and vow not to be a human being. What's your opinion?"

King Duosi said, "There is Ba Na Cave in the southwest, and the owner of the cave is King Mulu, who has a deep understanding of magic. If you go out, you can ride an elephant, which can call the wind and rain, and are often followed by tigers, leopards, wolves, poisonous snakes and evil scorpions. There are tens of thousands of divine soldiers under his men, who are very brave. The king can repair a book, prepare more gifts, and ask for it in person. If this person allows, Wang Hua is not afraid!"

Meng was overjoyed to hear the words, so he ordered King Duosi to invite King Mulu, and also ordered Meng You to guard the Yinkeng Cave and retreat to the Yinkeng Mountain Liangdu Cave by himself.

However, it is said that when Nan Ye's soldiers arrived outside the Yinkeng Cave, he only saw that the cave faced the river three times, and only one side was connected to a dry road, and the terrain was very dangerous. Nan Ye ordered Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong as pioneers and led 10,000 barbarians to attack once from the dry road.

Meng You saw that Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong came to attack and did not go out of the cave to fight, but only shot arrows in the cave. People in the cave learn bows and crossbows, and poison is used on the arrows. Once they are hit by arrows, their skin and flesh are rotten, and their death is very miserable.

Although the barbarians led by Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong are brave, their armor is simple and difficult to resist the rain of arrows. After a burst of poisonous arrows, hundreds of people died of poisoning, and their morale plummeted. Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong could not win. They came back to see Nan Ye and told him about the poisoned arrows.

What Nan Ye didn't like to fight was the siege, which directly threw the problem to Xu Shu. After Xu Shu personally led the soldiers to visit the Yinkeng Cave, he returned to the camp and ordered the soldiers and horses to retreat a few miles to the village.

When Meng You and the barbarians in the cave saw Nan Ye retreating, they all laughed and congratulated, only as Nan Ye retreated timidly. Meng You did not pursue him, but waited for King Mulu to come and send troops together. Seeing that there was no enemy outside the cave, the barbarian soldiers slept peacefully at night and no longer patrolled the camp.

After Xu Shu retired from the army, he ordered the barbarian soldiers to pretend to be local people and enter Sanjiang City for trade. The Sanjiang City is Liu Zhang's territory. Neither the cave barbarians nor the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau are allowed to enter the city, so they can only pretend to be people to enter the city to trade. Xu Shu did not buy other things, but asked the barbarians to buy cloth, clothing, needles and threads.

Nan Ye and the generals didn't know what Xu Shu was thinking. Hua Bei couldn't help asking Xu Shu, "At this time, the heat is unbearable, and the clothes are difficult. Why does Wang Dartou buy clothes? Is it a substitute for armor and defense arrows?

Xu Shu shook his head and smiled, "No! These fabrics have their own wonderful uses.

When everyone saw Xu Shu, they stopped spying. For several days in a row, a lot of cloth had been accumulated in the camp, and the price of cloth in Sanjiang City soared. When Xu Shu saw that the cloth was ready, he ordered the barbarian soldiers to go back. He did not train the soldiers all day long, so he asked the barbarian soldiers to sew cloth bags with cloth. The size and specifications were fixed. Everyone must sew, the stitches must be dense, and the violators were cut.

As soon as the military order was issued, the barbarians in the camp complained bitterly. These barbarians are usually very rude, their fingers are similar to small carrots, and they have never done needlework at all. It's okay to let them go to war, but it's hard to make needles and threads. However, the coach had an order, and the barbarians did not dare to disove. They sewed tens of thousands of cloth bags in two days, and there was still more than enough manpower.

At dusk, there is a breeze and dark clouds cover the moon. Xu Shu suddenly ordered: "Each soldier uses a sewn cloth bag to pack a bag of soil, and the time limit is one hour. Those who are dissatisfied with the cloth bag will be killed immediately."

Although the army did not know what it meant, they still prepared according to the order. An hour later, tens of thousands of soldiers gathered in the camp with a bag of loess. Xu Shu also ordered: "All the troops put earth bags on the kang and met in front of the silver pit. Those who arrive first will be rewarded, and the defenders will be beheaded.

When the army heard the order, they all fought against the earth and flew to the silver pit. At this time, Nan Ye and the generals understood Xu Shu's intention and cheered one after another to come to the silver pit together.

The barbarians in the cave were not prepared to return from Nanye's army, and they all slept peacefully in the cave. Xu Shu gave an order and ordered the soldiers to accumulate soil as a way. So tens of thousands of barbarians were abandoned under the silver pit. The wall of the silver pit is much lower than the wall. For a while, the soil accumulated into a mountain, connecting the wall.

Nan Ye issued an order to fall into the camp as the vanguard, leading the barbarians to cross the wall to kill and capture the caves in their sleep one by one. The rest abandoned the cave and left, and Meng You also fled in the chaos. Nan Ye took the silver pit and rewarded the gold and silver treasures obtained in the cave to the three armies. The whole army was happy.

Meng You led the defeated soldiers and saw Meng Huo crying and said, "The silver pit has been lost, and more than half of the soldiers in the cave will be killed and injured."

Meng was shocked when he heard the words. Before he recovered, Dongding came to report: "Wang Hua's army has crossed the river and has now camped in front of Liangdu Cave."

Hearing the report, Meng Huo suddenly felt worse. When he was in a panic, another cave came to report: "King Duosi led the owner of Ba Na Dong, King Mulu."

Meng Huo was overjoyed to hear the words and said to Meng You, "The two kings are the people who sent charcoal in the snow!" After saying that, he immediately went out of the cave to greet him.

At the entrance of the cave, Meng Huo and Meng You were all shocked. King Mulu rode a white elephant, which was three points taller than an ordinary elephant. He was wearing golden beads, with two big knives hanging around his waist, a string of human bone necklaces on his neck, and a skeleton hanging on his chest. Behind the wooden deer king, he was followed by a group of barbarians, each with tigers, leopards and wolves, with thousands of people. The barbarians in Meng Huo's cave dodged and looked as scared as earth.

When King Dosi saw Meng Huo's welcome, he hurriedly introduced him to King Mulu. Meng Huo came forward to salute and told how he was humiliated by his wife and lost the cave five times.

King Mulu nodded and said, "Don't worry, King Meng Huo. I will help you avenge and capture Wang Hua. I just don't know how to thank me after the king's deep hatred?
