Meng Huo, Mrs. Zhurong and his wife both fell into the trap designed by Zhuge Liang, and the sudden scene made the rebels nervous, and the rebels suddenly rushed out from all directions, wanting to come and rob people, but Zhuge Liang was prepared, turned around and left, and the guards responded in time, and then heard a loud "boom", and the high post was blown up, and the dust was flying. &

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Boom ......"

A series of explosions came and went, and a deep tunnel was blown out under the bare flat ground, just blocking the progress of the rebels, and at the same time, a dark tunnel was also revealed under the high post, and a square cage made of stainless steel was sliding forward rapidly, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

It turned out that Zhuge Liang had already arranged all this, he first asked people to dig a very large and deep pit under the ground of this land, and then built such a huge cage, specially used to capture Meng Shu and Mrs. Zhurong, in order to make this cage move, he laid one log after another under the cage, and created a relatively steep slope, which allowed the cage to slide forward without the action of manpower, and he put a carriage at the exit of the tunnel to pull away the cage.

In order to stop the advance of the rebels, they also planted a thunderbolt under the ground and blasted a large crater out of the ground to block the rebels' footsteps.

Zhuge Liang's plan was perfect, not only did he not suffer a single casualty, but he also captured the leader of the rebels, Meng Shu, and everyone who participated in this operation felt extremely proud in their hearts.

Thousands of rebels were blocked by the deep pit that had been blown up, and they could only watch their king being captured by the enemy, and even if they had many ideas, there was nothing they could do at this moment.

Zhuge Liang, under the escort of the soldiers, soon gathered together with the carriage that captured Meng Huo and Mrs. Zhurong, and saw Meng Huo sitting in the prisoner car and scolding, Zhuge Liang just laughed.

At this moment, Zhang Liao was in the camp of the Han army, because the barracks was far away from the place of the meeting. Moreover, the explosion came from underground, so the scope of the spread was not too wide, and Zhang Liao did not know the situation at the time of the meeting. Still, he was staring at the map. Patiently waiting for the scout's return.

Not long after, the scouts sent by Zhang Liao to inquire about the news came back, and as soon as they entered the camp, they knelt on the ground with a puff, and said breathlessly: "Great ...... Metropolitan Governor...... Zhuge military advisor he ......"

"What's wrong with Master Zhuge ?" Zhang Liao was very concerned about this matter, although he did not send troops and horses. But he still couldn't calm down inside, he saw the scout's panicked face, and before the scout could finish speaking, he hurriedly asked.

The scout said, "Meng Yu...... Meng Huo was captured by Zhuge Junshi...... And also...... And Mrs. Zhurong ......"

"What?" Zhang Liao couldn't believe his ears, and asked again, "What did you just say?" You repeat! ”

"Zhuge Military Division, the leader of the rebel army, Meng Shu, has been captured, and Mrs. Zhurong, who was let go by the original military division, has also been captured, and now it is probably almost to the barracks." The scout gasped for a moment. Only then did he finish his words in one breath.

Zhang Liao looked curious, he only gave Zhuge Liang 500 soldiers, and Meng Shu brought tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, how could Zhuge Liang catch Meng Huo so easily?

So, Zhang Liao asked the scout, and the scout happened to be present at the time, so he told Zhang Liao about the situation at that time. After Zhang Liao heard this, he suddenly felt that this young man named Zhuge Liang really had two brushes. It seems that he underestimated Zhuge Liang.

"The Grand Duke—"

A hurried shout suddenly came from outside the camp, and the voice was long, and as soon as Zhang Liao heard this voice, he knew that it was Huang Zhong who came.

The roller blinds were lifted. Huang Zhong's face was revealed, his face was full of joy, and as soon as he entered the big tent, he said to Zhang Liao excitedly: "Governor Dadu, Zhuge Military Division has captured Meng Shu, and now he has arrived outside the camp. The last general has come to tell the Metropolitan Governor the good news! ”

Zhang Liao said: "I already know! General Huang, Zhuge has made such a great contribution, the governor of Pontus must greet him in person, you go with me, how about it! ”

"Whoa!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Liao strode out of the camp, Huang Zhong followed, and the two walked out of the camp one after the other.

At the same time, the entire Han army camp was like a pot, the news of Meng Huo's capture was rushed to tell each other, and the soldiers poured out of the camp tent one after another, and everyone's face was full of happiness, which was good news for them for a long time.

After a while, the gate of the camp was crowded with people, Zhuge Liang rode a war horse, with five hundred soldiers sent to him by Zhang Liao, escorting a prisoner car slowly approaching the camp.

Meng Shu scolded all the way, he was already tired of scolding, and when he saw that the Han people ignored him, he simply shut up and remained silent. At this time, seeing that he was being watched from a distance like a parade on the street, he was only angry in his heart, and he was more full of hatred for Zhuge Liang.

"The Governor has arrived!"

With a high-pitched shout, the soldiers in the camp closed their mouths one after another, and took the initiative to make way at the gate of the village, only to see Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Wen Ping, Wu Yi and others all followed behind Zhang Liao and slowly walked to the gate of the village.

Zhang Liao looked at Zhuge Liang not far away, but his mood was very complicated, he never thought that Zhuge Liang would really be able to arrest Meng Shu. And he was ashamed of his previous distrust and funny behavior towards Zhuge Liang. At this moment, Zhang Liao finally knew why the regent Zhang Yan specifically instructed him to cooperate with Zhuge Liang.

Zhang Liao led an army of 100,000 and confronted the rebels here for almost half a year, and only achieved some results, while Zhuge Liang had just arrived less than ten days before he captured Meng, and the number of people used was only 500 people, this kind of ability is not something that everyone can have.

At this moment, Zhang Liao can be said to have sincere admiration for Zhuge Liang.

When Zhuge Liang was about to arrive at the gate of the village, he saw Zhang Liao leading the civil and military officials to welcome him there, so he restrained the horses, then jumped off the horse, and walked straight towards Zhang Liao and others, first arched his hand to Zhang Liao, and then arched his hand to the generals, and then said to Zhang Liao: "Metropolitan Governor, Kong Ming is fortunate not to be dishonored, none of the 500 soldiers lent to Kong Ming by the Metropolitan Governor have been damaged, and the rebel leader Meng Shu and Mrs. Zhurong are presented to the husband and wife, and please make a decision to the Metropolitan Governor!" ”

Zhang Liao grabbed Zhuge Liang's hand and said excitedly: "Bendu led an army of 100,000 people, and fought with the rebels here for nearly half a year, with little progress. ”

Zhuge Liang said modestly: "Metropolitan Governor, if it weren't for your efforts in the first half of the year, how could Kong Ming succeed today?" I'm just a shit luck, and today's events are closely related to the efforts of the Metropolitan Governor and the generals. If you talk about the credit, it should also be everyone's credit, and it is by no means Kong Ming alone. ”

When Zhang Liao and the others heard this, they were also relieved in their hearts, and they had another opinion on Zhuge Liang.

"Metropolitan Governor, now that the leader of the rebel army has been arrested, what should I do, has the Metropolitan Governor thought about it?" Zhuge Liang asked.

After Zhang Liao heard this, he took the generals to the side of the prisoner car, looked at Meng Huo in the prisoner car, and asked, "Meng Huo!" You've been captured by our army, are you willing to surrender? ”

"Humph! I, the king of the south, want me to surrender, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky. Meng Shu said coldly.

Zhang Liao said: "Since you are unwilling to surrender, then you can only kill!" Just hang your head and let your rebels see it, and they'll come down on it!" ”

"If you want to kill or chop, listen to you, I'm still afraid of you!" Meng Shoudao.

At this time, Mrs. Zhurong suddenly said to Zhuge Liang: "Zhuge military advisor, don't forget, there is an agreement between us, as long as you keep our husband and wife from dying, our husband and wife will help you become the king of Shuzhong!" ”

After Zhuge Liang heard this, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said to Mrs. Zhurong: "Madam is really witty, she actually learned to return a tooth for a tooth so quickly." ”

Turning his face, Zhuge Liang said to Zhang Liao: "Metropolitan Governor, Meng Huo will not surrender easily, I don't know how the Metropolitan Governor is going to deal with it?" ”

Zhang Liao said: "Meng Huo is the leader of the rebels, since he is unwilling to surrender, then kill, one hundred, one can kill the chickens and monkeys, warn the rebels, and severely frustrate the spirit of the rebels, and second, it can also comfort the souls of those soldiers who died in the south of the war!" ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "Governor, if the rebels in Nanzhong who are caught in the future are unwilling to surrender, will they all be killed?" ”

"That's nature! Kill these unconvinced, then the others will naturally obey! Gan Ning interjected.

Zhang Liao didn't speak, but he didn't deny it either, and seemed to agree with Gan Ning's words.

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang hurriedly said: "Dadu Governor, killing people is a very easy thing, but every time we kill a person, it will only increase the hatred of the people in Nanzhong. I can roughly guess the thoughts of the Grand Governor, as long as Meng Shu is dead, the rebels will be leaderless, it will be a plate of scattered sand, at this time our army is attacking with all its might, and it will definitely be able to quell this rebellion quickly. But did the Metropolitan Governor ever think that although the rebellion was put down, the natives of Nanzhong did not agree with us, as long as we withdrew, maybe they would rebel, and then the cycle would continue to continue, and the Nanzhong Rebellion would probably never be quelled. ”

Zhang Liao heard Zhuge Liang's words, so he asked, "What does the military advisor mean......"

Zhuge Liang said: "My meaning is very simple, it is still the same sentence, attack the city for the bottom, and attack the heart for the top." The tone occupies the city and seizes the land, it is better to make the people of Nanzhong happy and convinced. Meng Huo is the leader of the rebels, and if even he can convincingly submit to our Han, the other rebels will naturally be out of the question. ”

Zhang Liaopin understood the meaning of Zhuge Liang's words, and asked, "Does the military advisor want me to release Meng Shu?" (To be continued.) )
