In the cave of Ailao Mountain, Meng Shu was drinking alcohol, and the 70,000 troops in the south were defeated, and the news that his wife, Mrs. Zhurong, had been captured, made him feel very worried.

He and his wife have always had a good relationship, and after hearing the news, he couldn't wait to fly over immediately to save Mrs. Zhurong, but if he leaves, who will manage Ailao Mountain? The coalition that was originally formed temporarily was not very stable, and it was only feared that once he left, the coalition would collapse immediately.

However, he couldn't help but save his wife

After thinking about it, Meng Yu finally chose to stay, and first sent his younger brother Meng You with a large number of gold and silver treasures to negotiate with Pang De in person to see what Pang De wanted, and then he thought of countermeasures. For this reason, Meng Shu also blocked all news and did not let people know about the capture of Mrs. Zhu Rong, otherwise, he was worried that the army would be unstable.

Meng You left yesterday, but although Meng Youren was there, his heart had already flown out of the clouds, and he was drunk unknowingly.

I don't know how much time passed, a rush of footsteps came from outside, a person broke into the cave where Meng Shu was, and saw that Meng Shu was still asleep, so he hurriedly stepped forward to shake him awake, while shaking, he shouted: "Uncle wake up, wake up, uncle"

This person is not an outsider, it is Meng You's nephew, Meng You's eldest son Meng Jian, yesterday Meng You was ordered to negotiate with Pang De about Mrs. Zhurong, Meng Jian also followed, who knew that the group had not yet gone to the place, it was attacked, a group of more than 300 people, except for Meng You was captured, the rest were all killed, and all property was looted.

Meng Jian was lucky to escape because he had a bad stomach and hid in the woods at that time, but he witnessed the attack on his father's department, and he also saw quite clearly that the person who robbed his father was not the Han army, but the king of Mulu, who had been wanted by Meng for a long time.

Meng Jian didn't dare to move forward. He immediately rushed back to Ailao Mountain, to report to Meng Huo what he had seen.

Meng Shu was woken up by Meng Jian, but his mind was still muddy, when Meng Jian talked about Meng You being robbed by King Mulu. With a stirring spirit all over his body, his mind suddenly sobered up, grabbed Meng Jian, and asked loudly, "Who did you just say?" Mudeer? ”

"That's right, it's the Mulu King of the Southern Barbarians. The nephew saw with his own eyes, saw it very clearly, they killed everyone, took away his father, took away all the gold and silver treasures, came and went in a hurry, the nephew wanted to follow to see where they were hiding, but because there were no horses, he had to give up, so he hurried back and asked his uncle to send troops to surround and suppress them. ”

It's a disaster. His wife, Mrs. Zhurong, was captured by the Han army, and his younger brother Meng You was taken captive by King Mulu. Can there be such a coincidence in the world?

In an instant, Meng Shu's mind opened up, and he connected this series of events, and it was almost certain that King Mulu must have surrendered to the Han army, and led the Han army around the defense line and appeared in his rear, deliberately sabotaging and disturbing the morale of the army.

"Mulu King" Meng Shu gritted his teeth and said, "I must break your body into ten thousand pieces"

Subsequently. Meng Shu asked someone to open the map and asked Meng Jian to point out on the map the area where Meng You was attacked, roughly near Yixiang Town. So, Meng Shu called the Black Dragon Cave Master. Let him lead the three thousand soldiers of his headquarters and go with Meng Jian to rescue Meng You.

This Black Dragon Cave Lord is the husband of Meng Huo's cousin, Lady Yinhua, and has a close relationship with Meng Huo, and is one of the people Meng Huo trusts more, and has always been Meng Huo's descendant army, otherwise. With such a confidential matter, Meng Shu categorically would not hand it over to the Black Dragon Cave Master to do.

The lord of the Black Dragon Cave received the order, and together with Meng Jian, he left Ailao Mountain with soldiers and horses, nominally to go down the mountain to escort grain and grass, but in fact to save people.

In the past few days, the army on Ailao Mountain has been continuously sent out, and the news that the Han army has gone deep behind enemy lines has already spread among the coalition forces.

On the other side of the Snake Valley, the Han army was still worried about not being able to break through the layers of defenses of the rebels, all the soldiers were at a loss, and almost everyone put their hopes on Pang De.

And Pang De really lived up to expectations, and not only crossed the river smoothly with his army, but also gained a firm foothold behind the enemy, resisting the attack of 70,000 troops, not to mention, and also captured Meng Shu's wife, Mrs. Zhurong.

These messages were sent back to the camp by Pound, and Mrs. Zhurong was sent back along with these news. Although Pang De captured Mrs. Zhurong, he did not intend to let her stay with him, but decisively chose to send it to the Han army camp and handed it over to Zhang Liao for disposal. And he also hoped that Zhang Liao could use Mrs. Zhurong to open a bloody road in the Snake Valley.

At the same time, Zhuge Liang, the military advisor personally appointed by the regent Zhang Yan, has also arrived in Nanzhong after many days of non-stop, and has now arrived at Dianchi Lake, and will arrive at the Han army camp in Pansnake Valley tomorrow.

A series of good news came, the soldiers in the Han army camp were in high spirits, and they were all gearing up, hoping to start a big battle with the rebels, and then break through the rebel defense line that had bound them for more than a month, and attack the rebels' lair in one fell swoop, kill Meng Shu, and then return triumphantly.

The war had been going on for more than half a year, it had dragged on for too long, and the morale of the soldiers was running out, and everyone was looking forward to the final battle, and then return triumphantly and leave this place that seemed to them to be a nightmare.

That night, Mrs. Zhurong was escorted back, Zhang Liao asked her to be imprisoned in a barracks, and arranged for two maids to serve her, but the outside was full of guards, five steps and one sentry, ten steps and one post, where Mrs. Zhurong was, surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, even if she had wings, it was difficult to fly.

When all the generals heard the news, they all rushed over and gathered in Zhang Liao's tent to discuss how to borrow Mrs. Zhurong to break through the defense line. Everyone unanimously passed Zhang Liao's resolution, and tomorrow they will hold Mrs. Zhu Rong and prepare to storm the Snake Valley and break through this line of defense.

Just as everyone was gearing up for joy, suddenly a soldier came in and reported: "The Governor of Qiyu, the military division appointed by the regent has arrived."

Zhang Liao and the others were all shocked, especially Zhang Liao, who said to himself: "Doesn't it mean that the genius has arrived?" Why did you come a day early? ”

But no matter what, the person is here, and that Zhang Liaoyan has a reason not to accept him, not to mention, this is a military advisor personally appointed by the regent, and its purpose is to help everyone solve the current dilemma.

"Please let him in," Zhang Liao said.

After a while, a young and handsome man dressed in a strong suit walked in from outside, and as soon as he entered the big tent, he bowed to Zhang Liao and said: "Zhuge Liang meets the Governor"

Then he immediately bowed his hand to the generals present: "I have seen all the generals."

Zhuge Liang's appearance made everyone stunned for a moment, because Zhuge Liang was too young, with a slender figure, fair skin, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, like a little white face, can such a person really be able to serve as a military advisor?

Even, all the generals began to wonder if Zhang Yan was mistaken, and their hearts were full of distrust of Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang is also an extraordinary person, he can see some clues from everyone's eyes, but he is not angry at all, because these eyes have long been accustomed to him, so it is not strange.

In the near future, he would let them look at him in a different way.

"The military advisor has come from afar, and he has been dusty all the way, and if it is already late today, the governor of Pontus will let him arrange a place for the military advisor to live, so that the military advisor can have a good rest." Zhang Liaodao.

Zhuge Liang said: "Metropolitan Governor, Kong Ming is not tired now, and he is not in a hurry to rest. I just heard that the Metropolitan Governor has captured Mrs. Zhurong, the wife of the rebel leader, right? ”

"The military advisor is so well-informed, he just came here, and he already knew about it?" Zhang Liao said with a smile, "This is indeed the case. ”

"It's not that I'm well-informed, it's that the whole army is talking about it, and it's hard for me to want to know. Metropolitan Governor, then Kong Ming wants to ask the Metropolitan Governor, how is the Metropolitan Governor going to deal with Mrs. Zhurong? Zhuge Liang asked straight to the point.

Zhang Liao said: "I was discussing this matter with the generals just now, and now we have reached a consensus, our army was trapped in the Snake Valley for more than a month, no matter whether it was attacked or outwitted, it was impossible to break through this line of defense, fortunately, the governor of Pontus sent an army to detour back to the rear of the rebels, and no one thought that they would catch Mrs. Zhurong, the wife of the leader of the rebels, there." Since Mrs. Zhurong is in our hands, we can use this to blackmail the leader of the rebels, and the governor of Ming Japan is ready to escort Mrs. Zhurong to the battlefield, so that the rebels guarding in the area of the Snake Valley can see how their leader's wife was captured by us and take this opportunity to hit the morale of the rebels hard, let the rebels know the strength of our army, and then first persuade the surrender, if the rebels do not surrender, we will take a strong attack, tie Mrs. Zhurong to the front of the army, so that the rebels have scruples, dare not resist, take this opportunity, Break through the enemy's defenses in one fell swoop. As long as the enemy's defense line is broken, our army will be able to break through, and in less than ten days, our army will be able to put down the rebellion in Nanzhong. ”

"It's not proper" As soon as Zhang Liao's words were finished, Zhuge Liang shook his head and said directly in front of everyone.

Zhang Liao and the generals all looked at each other, Gan Ning couldn't hold his breath, and asked directly: "What does the military advisor think is wrong?" ”

"Although Mrs. Zhurong was captured, this method may not be able to make the rebels captured, and it is not a matter of a day or two for the Metropolitan Governor and the generals to quell the rebellion here, haven't you yet figured out the hearts of the rebels? If our army does this tomorrow, not only will it not be able to dampen the morale of the rebels, but it will backfire and make the enemy army hate the enemy, and I am afraid that within a year or two, we will not be able to put down the rebellion in Nanzhong. Zhuge Liang said.

The rest of the people wanted to speak, but they were stopped by Zhang Liao raising his hand, he frowned, and asked bluntly: "Then according to the opinion of the military division, how should our army deal with Mrs. Zhurong?" ”

"Let Mrs. Zhurong go," Zhuge Liang said lightly. To be continued.
