There are mountains on both sides of the Jiashan Valley. There is a road in the middle. Only one person and one horse can pass at a time. Ma Dai occupied it, distributed his soldiers, and established a camp. The barbarian soldiers and horses were not yet clear, and they were transporting food. They were attacked by Ma Dai's rear army and seized hundreds of carts of grain. The soldiers who fled from the barbarians reported this incident to Meng Huo. At this time, Meng Huo was drinking and having fun in the camp, completely ignoring military affairs. He said to the chiefs: "If I fight against Zhuge Liang, I will definitely fall into his scheme. Now I rely on the Lu River as a natural barrier, build fortifications, and wait for work. The Shu army Afraid of the heat, it will definitely recede on its own. When that time comes, we can attack directly and then Zhuge Liang can capture him." After saying that, he burst into laughter.
Suddenly a chief came out of the squad and said: "The water at Shakou is not fast and very shallow. If the Shu army crosses the river from there, it will be bad. We should divide our troops to guard it."
After hearing this, Meng Huo laughed and said: "You are a local native, how could you not know that I want the Shu army to cross this sand mouth. As long as they dare to cross the river, they will die without a burial place."
The chief argued: "It's not possible during the day. What if some local people tell me how to cross the river at night?"
Replied: "You don't have to doubt, how can the locals in our territory help the enemy?"
While everyone was talking, a barbarian soldier suddenly came to report that he did not know how many Shu troops there were, and secretly crossed the Lu River, cutting off the food road in Jiashan, under the banner of "Pingbei General Ma Dai".
Unexpectedly, the chief's suggestion was fulfilled. Meng Huo was a little embarrassed. He just laughed and said: "It doesn't matter. There is nothing to be afraid of such a junior." After that, he sent his deputy, Fen Ya Chang, to lead three thousand soldiers to Jia Mountain. Yu ran away.
Ma Dai saw the barbarian soldiers and horses coming from a high place, so he placed two thousand soldiers in front of the mountain. The two formations faced each other. The horse grew out of his teeth and fought with Ma Dai. In just one round, he was beheaded by Ma Dai and died. Under the horse.
The barbarian troops were defeated, so they went back to see Meng Huo and explained the process in detail. Meng Huo was very surprised after hearing this and said to everyone: "Which of you dares to challenge Ma Dai?" As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Dana stood up and said: " I want to go!"
Meng Huo was very happy and ordered another 3,000 soldiers and horses for him. Thinking that Ma Dai was so powerful, it would be unthinkable for other Shu troops to cross the river from Shakou, so he sent A Hui'nan with 3,000 soldiers and horses. Guard the shore near Shakou.
So Dong Dana brought the barbarian soldiers and horses to Jiashan Valley, and Ma Dai also came out to fight. Someone in the team recognized the enemy general Dong Dana and told Ma Dai the situation. Ma Dai stepped forward and cursed: "You are a senseless and ungrateful person. Our prime minister spared your name. Why are you rebelling again? Don't you know how shameful you are?"
Dong Dana was very ashamed after hearing this. He had nothing to argue with and retreated back before the battle began. Ma Dai led his soldiers and horses to cover up the killing for a while and then returned.
Dong Dana went back and reported to Meng Huo, "Ma Dai is very brave and we cannot resist him."
Some soldiers had already told the story of the cause and effect. Meng Huo was furious and said, "I knew you had been favored by Zhuge Liang, and now you are retreating without going to fight. This is betraying the formation!" After saying this, he ordered his left and right men to push him out and behead him. After repeated pleas, everyone was able to save their lives. Dong Dana was beaten with a hundred military sticks and returned to his camp.
Soon the chiefs came and told Dong Dana: "Although we live in the barbarian country, we have no intention of invading China, and China will never invade us. This result is because Meng Huo's power forced us. You have to rebel as a last resort. Do you think that Kong Ming is so unpredictable that even Cao Cao and Sun Quan are afraid of him? In addition, the new emperor of Western Shu is working hard to rule. How can we, a small barbarian, be an opponent? Besides, we have all been favored by Kong Ming. There is no I have a way to repay you, and now I am ready to sacrifice my life, kill Meng Huo and go to Kong Ming, so that the people in the cave can be spared the suffering."
After hearing this, Dong Dana naturally agreed, but she didn't know whether it was true or not, so she said, "I don't know if what you said is true or not?"
Inside were the people who had been released by Kong Ming, and they all shouted: "We are willing!"
So Dong Dana wrapped up the wound, took the steel knife, and led more than a hundred people to Meng Huo's camp. At that time, Meng Huo was drunk and lying in the camp. Dong Dana led everyone in There were two guards guarding the camp. Dong Dana pointed a knife at the two of them and said, "You have also received the grace of survival from Prime Minister Zhuge. You should find a way to repay the favor."
The two of them looked at each other and said, "There is no need for the general to take action. I will definitely capture Meng Huo alive and offer it to the prime minister." So they entered the camp together, tied up Meng Huo, escorted him to the Lu River, and sailed to the north bank. , sent someone to notify Kong Ming.
Kong Ming soon found out about this, so he sent an order to the soldiers in each camp to rectify their weapons, and then asked the chief to capture Meng Huo. The others returned to their camps to listen to the order.
Dong Dana first went into the army to see Kong Ming and told the detailed process of the matter. Kong Ming rewarded him heavily and persuaded Dong Dana to retreat with the chiefs, and then sent sword and axemen to push Meng Huo away. enter.
Kong Ming smiled and said: "You said before that if you are captured by me again, you will definitely surrender. What do you say now?"
He replied: "It's not your ability this time, it's because my men killed each other, so I was caught. I definitely won't accept it."
Kong Ming said: "How about I let you go back again?"
Meng Huo said: "Although I am a barbarian, I also know some soldiers and horses. If the Prime Minister is willing to let me go, I will definitely lead the soldiers and horses to fight again. If the Prime Minister catches me again this time, then I will definitely pour out my heart. If you have the guts to surrender, there will never be any second thoughts.”
Kong Ming said: "If you still refuse to accept your capture this time, I won't let you go!" After saying that, he asked his left and right men to untie the rope, still rewarded them with food and drinks, and sat down in the camp.
Kong Ming said: "Since I walked out of the thatched cottage, I have been invincible in every battle. What can you barbarians not be convinced of?"
Meng Huo was speechless and only focused on eating.
After drinking for three rounds, Meng Huo was asked to mount his horse and leave the camp to check the places where grain and grass were stored in each camp, as well as the weapons stored in the camp. Kong Ming pointed them out one by one and said to Meng Huo: "You are stupid if you don't surrender to me. I have such elite soldiers, food, grass and weapons. How can you defeat me? If you can surrender early, I will Please ask the new emperor Yu Yi so that you will not lose your throne and your descendants will all live in the barbarian country, what do you think?"
Meng Huo found a reason and said: "Although I am willing to surrender, no one in the cave is willing to accept it. If the prime minister is willing to let me go back, I will recruit my troops and surrender together."
Kong Ming had no choice but to return to the camp with Meng Huo and continue drinking. Later, Meng Huo said goodbye and left. Kong Ming sent him to the shore of Lu River and asked him to return to the camp by boat.
