Chapter 477 Zhuge Liang Allied with Meng Huo
Usually, the Yi people put boards on such traps. Now, they are chased and beaten by the enemy. They can only pull off the boards and use traps to deal with the pursuers. Liu Ping is not as alert as Liao Hua. At that time, even if the Yizhou soldiers in front of him fell into the trap, Liu Ping still stepped on the head of the soldiers under his feet with light body skills and jumped back. Unfortunately, his figure was only in mid-air, and a row of bamboo guns were shot from the top of his head. As an intermediate general, Liu Ping's martial arts cultivation can still resist the sudden bamboo gun. He waved his knife to split the bamboo gun above his head, still maintaining a backward posture.
The Yizhou soldier behind him was brought into the trap by inertia. His figure fell on the Yizhou soldier, and he continued to retreat by force. The collapse of the roar, the scream of danger, and the howling of being shot through his body by a bamboo gun made Liu Ping very frightened. Seeing that there was no foothold under his feet, he wanted to dodge to the two sides of the corridor. However, when his figure fell in front of the mountain wall, the rocks of the mountain wall peeled off in an instant, and two Yi warriors with machetes suddenly appeared. They waved the machete coldly and cut at Liu Ping's head. Liu Ping waved the knife to the top of his head. As a result, he He could only block a machete, and the other machete flashed coldly and cut off his head in an instant.
Some Yizhou soldiers saw that Liu Ping was killed by the ambush of the Yi people, so they ran back desperately. However, more and more Yi warriors poured out of the Tibetan cave of Yongdao, and they almost killed an opponent face to face...
Originally, there was also an ambush in the corridor where Liao Hua was located. The hidden ambush saw that Liao Hua could be alert to the abnormality of the corridor in advance, and at the same time to destroy the trap in the corridor. In the face of the huge difference in strength, they could only watch Liao Hua lead the generals to retreat calmly.
There is a Tibetan cave on the mountain wall on the other side of the corridor, which is also unexpected by Liao Hua. Liao Hua led his troops to pretend to support Liu Ping's troops who were attacked: their expression was nervous, but their pace of progress was extremely slow. In the dark corridor, they were also afraid of encountering a sneak attack. In this way, when they rushed to the corridor that Liu Ping's side entered, the Yi warriors who made a sneak attack quietly retreated, and only hundreds of Yizhou soldiers survived. The remaining more than 1,000 Yizhou soldiers were not injured, and all of them were killed by Yi warriors.
Liu Ping died at the hands of the Yi warriors, which really saved Liao Hua a lot of energy: Liu Ping knew too much. As long as he entered the cave, he was destined not to get out of the cave alive. His end was: either in the hands of Liaohua or in the hands of the enemy. A person knows what he shouldn't know, but at the same time, he doesn't hide it well. The end can only be one word: death!
When Liao Hua encountered obstacles and traps, he could only lead the remaining soldiers out of the cave. From the entrance of the cave to the fork of the road, it took Liao Huan a full two hours to retreat from the fork of the road to the cave. It only took them an hour.
When they came out of the cave, they went to see Zhuge Liang directly. At this time, Zhuge Liang was chatting with the old man of the Yi nationality. When Zhuge Liang learned that Liao Hua's side was attacked in the cave and Liu Ping was killed by the Yi ambush, his eyes flashed with a trace of relaxation. Then he ordered Liao Hua to lead his soldiers to rest.
Zhuge Liang and the elderly people of the Yi nationality had a good conversation. Finally, the elderly people of the Yi nationality volunteered to go to a secret place to meet the patriarch Meng Huo and asked Meng Huo to surrender to Zhuge Liang. Of course, Zhuge Liang readily agreed. Zhuge Liang ordered the bodyguards to escort the old man of the Yi nationality to a secret place, but the old man of the Yi nationality gently refused. The two old men of the Yi nationality left the village with vigorous steps and went straight to the cave.
Zhuge Liang saw off the two old men. When the bodies of the two old people were swallowed up by the darkness of the cave, he whispered to Huang Zhong beside him, "General Huang, this cave is the last support of the Yi people. The two old men refused to be accompanied by our bodyguards, which means that there are still The secret way..."
When Huang Zhong heard the words, he nodded thoughtfully. Then, he asked Zhuge Liang, "Military division, do you think the two old people can persuade Meng Huo to put down their weapons and turn war into jade with us? ..."
Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan, turned his face to look at Huang Zhong, and said with a smile, "General Huang, some people are not afraid of death, but they are afraid that they will implicate their clan and relatives; some people face deadly danger, even their families. His relatives are dead, and he also wants to seek a chance to escape alone... And Meng Huo is not a person who lives secretly. Previously, Liang had told Meng Huo's uncle his intention to form an alliance with Meng Huo. Presumably, under the persuasion of the two old men, Meng Huo would take the initiative to put down his weapons and form an alliance with us..."
Huang Zhong looked at Zhuge Liang respectfully and nodded convincingly. Zhuge Liang looked into the distance and said leisurely, "If we subdue Meng Huo at this time, we can ensure the stability of the southern region of Yizhou for at least ten years!" ..."
Huang Zhong knew the implication of Zhuge Liang's words: Yesterday, Zhuge Liang received a message that Mianzhuguan had been taken over by the army of Zhao Wei, a state official. At the same time, Zhao Wei announced to the outside world that Yizhou did not recognize the fact that Jingzhou Liu Bei led his army into Yizhou. In other words, Liu Bei led his army into Yizhou, which is equivalent to violating Yizhou...
In the face of the reality that the retreat was blocked, Zhuge Liang did not lead his troops back to capture Xiongguan Mianzhuguan, but continued to attack the Yi village without distraction. Zhuge Liang just wanted to solve the barbarian rebellion in the south of Yizhou overnight, and then wait for the change of the situation in Yizhou...
Zhuge Liang's choice also made Huang Zhong understand that Zhuge Liang wanted to help Uncle Liu occupy Yizhou. Even Liu Bei himself didn't think of this purpose. Huang Zhong only suddenly realized it at this time.
At noon the next day, Meng Huo and his wife came out of the cave under the escort of a hundred Yi guards. Under the personal protection of Huang Zhong and Liaohua, Zhuge Liang left the village to welcome Meng Huo and his party.
Three meters away, Meng Huo knelt down to Zhuge Liang with a guilty face. Zhuge Liang gently came forward to help Meng Huo and others who were kneeling. Finally, Zhuge Liang took Meng Huo and his wife and walked into the village with a smile.
When Meng Huo entered the village, he saw the old people of the Yi people resting or working on their own wooden buildings, and the children were playing carefree in the open space. Zhuge Liang's army withdrew from the village and practiced in a temporary camp near the village.
This situation shows the sincerity of Zhuge Liang's alliance with the Yi people. Meng Huo and his wife expressed their loyal thanks to Zhuge Liang one after another. Finally, on the wooden building of the tribal chief, they and Zhuge Liang openly and sincerely negotiated the alliance and partnership.
Finally, after some negotiation, the two sides formed an alliance instead of superior and subordinate relationship. According to the covenant: the Yi people regularly provide timber, excellent iron ore and other military materials to Liu Bei. In return, Liu Bei will also regularly provide grain, salt and other daily necessities to the Yi people.
In order to improve the efficiency of Yi farming, Zhuge Liang also provided his invention - the construction technology of the waterwheel to Meng Huo. The waterwheel can transport the river to a high place, which is extremely suitable for a terraced environment. Meng got the production method and use of the waterwheel, such as the treasure. With the new tool of the water truck, how much manpower and material resources can the Yi people save? It can definitely increase the yield of crops.
Zhuge Liang led his army to leave the Yi nest, and Meng Huo organized the Yi warriors to rearrange the protection of the Yi tribe, especially the cliff behind the Yi tribe village: Zhuge Liang successfully reached the Yi nest from there. The original natural barrier is now the fatal empty door of the Yi tribe.
Zhuge Liang led his army back from the official road. The lofty mountains along the way also made Zhuge Liang deeply feel that the living environment of the barbarian tribes was really difficult. At the same time, Zhuge Liang also predicted that after the upcoming summer, this official road will be broken by the outbreak of flash floods and mudslides, and it will become completely disfigured.
After the summer, the Yi people will organize manpower to clean up the road. If the original road can't be cleaned up, they can only find a new road. This shows that the Yi people are also eager to communicate with the outside world.
Zhuge Liang led his army to the newly built compass water camp and repaired it on the spot. Even if Mianzhu Pass is only a hundred miles away from the compass water camp, Zhuge Liang did not command the army to capture it. He wanted to give the state official Zhao Wei time to see what earth-shaking things Zhao Wei could do. At the same time, he also sent details to Hanzhong County to explain the real situation of the southern battlefield to Liu Bei.
Of course, in order to confuse the state official Zhao Wei, who openly rebelled in Yizhou, Zhuge Liang spread rumors to Yizhou: rumors say that the allied forces led by Zhuge Liang in Yizhou and Jingzhou have been surrounded by the Yi tribe, and their whereabouts are still unknown...
When this rumor spread to Yizhou City, it turned into various sayings: some said that Zhuge Liang had lost in the vast Liangshan area, and some said that the army led by Zhuge Liang was divided and surrounded by Meng Huo and annihilated... There is no saying that Zhuge Liang has led the army to conquer the barbarian tribes!
Of course, the simple method does not believe these negative rumors, because Zhuge Liang has sent a detailed work to inform him of the truth of the southern battlefield. Naturally, he was overjoyed to master the truth of the southern battlefield. He felt that his choice to follow Uncle Liu at the beginning was the most correct choice in his life.
In the past few days, Fa Zheng has been shrouded in surprises: a few days ago, after the state official Zhao Wei occupied Pingyang Pass and Mianzhu Pass and blocked the retreat of Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang's allied forces, Zhao Kui openly accused Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang of various wrongs: for example, after accusing Liu Zhang of succeeding the throne, he ignored the lives of the people and wantonly suppressed the power of diss. , forced Zhang Lu in Hanzhong County and Meng, a Liangshan Yi nationality, to rebel, such as accusing Liu Zhang of going to the hospital indiscriminately, short-sighted, and introduced Liu Bei, a hungry tiger, to Yizhou...
In the face of Zhao Wei's rebellion, Liu Zhang, who did not have many troops under him, could only listen and watch. Until Zhao Wei led 50,000 soldiers to the city, Liu Zhang could only hurriedly abandon the city to escape and go straight to the hinterland of Jingzhou.
The once intimate master has become a life-and-death hostile relationship. Why doesn't he feel happy when he is forced to pretend to be crazy when he sees this dramatic process? The suffering and humiliation of the past have become the source of happiness today. Dharma feels that all the sad past is worth it! In the future, he will ask all the enemies for their own and interest...
