After Meng Huo returned to the camp, he asked the swordsmen and axemen to ambush the camp, and then sent his confidants to invite Dong Dana and A Huinan. The purpose of the invitation was that Kong Ming had a mission, so the two believed it and actually went. , but they were all beheaded by Meng Huo and their bodies abandoned in a mountain stream. After doing this, Meng Huo sent absolutely trustworthy people to guard the pass. He led his troops to Jiashan Valley, preparing to fight to the death with Ma Dai, but he didn't see anyone. So he asked the locals about the situation and said that it happened last night. After carrying all the food and grass, they crossed the sand mouth again and returned to the camp.
Meng Huo had no choice but to return to the cave again, discuss with his brother Meng You, and said: "Now that I know Zhuge Liang's truth and reality, you can go directly with your troops."
Meng You received the order and led hundreds of barbarian soldiers to move away gold, silver, jewelry, ivory, rhinoceros horns and other things, crossed the Lu River, and headed for Kongming's camp. When the troops had just crossed the river, drums and horns sounded in front. , a group of people stopped in front and lined up. The general at the head was Ma Dai.
Meng You was very surprised when he saw it. Ma Dai asked him why, and asked him to wait outside first, and sent someone to report to Kong Ming. Kong Ming was in the camp discussing with Ma Su, Lu Kai, Jiang Wan, and Fei Yi on how to pacify the Southern Barbarians, when suddenly someone appeared under the tent. He met someone, saying that Meng Huo sent his own brother Meng You to offer the treasure. Kong Ming turned back to Ma Su and said, "Do you know his purpose of coming here?"
Ma Su said: "You can't say it out loud. Let me secretly write it on the paper and hand it to the Prime Minister to see if that's what you mean?"
Kong Ming agreed, so Ma Di wrote it on the paper and handed it to Kong Ming. After reading it, Kong Ming laughed and said: "I have sent someone else to complete the plan to capture Meng Huo. Your opinion is as good as mine." It's the same." After saying that, he called Zhao Yun in and whispered the strategy in his ear. Then he came to Wei Yan and also gave the strategy. Wang Ping, Ma Zhong, Guan Suo and others also gave the strategy.
According to the plan, everyone acted separately. After everything was ready, they called Meng You in. Meng You bowed and said, "My brother Meng Huo, I am very grateful to the prime minister for his kindness. I have nothing to repay, so I will Our gold, silver, jewelry, and some utensils are used as military supplies to reward soldiers, and other gifts will be given as tribute later."
Kong Ming asked: "Where is your brother now?"
He replied: "In order to thank the Prime Minister for his kindness, I have gone to Yinkeng Mountain to collect other treasures. I will be back soon."
Kong Ming asked again: "How many people did you bring here?"
He replied: "I didn't bring many, just a few hundred people accompanying me, all for the purpose of transporting the goods this time."
Kong Ming asked those people to come in and take a look. They were all capable men and strangers with blue eyes and black faces, yellow hair and purple beards, gold rings in their ears, and very strong bodies. Kong Ming asked them to sit anywhere and asked everyone to bring food and drinks. They were very attentive. to receive them.
When Meng You left, Meng Huo kept watching in the camp. Suddenly two people came back and reported, "Zhuge Liang has received the gifts and called all the people accompanying him to the camp to entertain them. The two kings secretly sent a message back. It is said that we have agreed to cooperate inside and outside at two o'clock tonight to attack the Shu army camp and achieve great things."
Meng Huo was very happy after hearing this. He immediately counted 30,000 barbarian soldiers and horses, divided them into three teams, and then called the chiefs in each cave to divide them up and said: "You are all equipped with fire tools. When we arrived at the camp today, we set fire to No. I will directly attack the Chinese army and capture Zhuge Liang."
The other barbarian generals followed the plan, and at ten o'clock in the evening, they crossed the Lu River to the other side. Meng Huo led hundreds of his followers to Kong Ming's camp. No one blocked him on the way. When they arrived at the gate of the camp, Meng Huo led Everyone rushed in on horseback, only to find that no one was there. Meng Huo went towards the Chinese army to kill, only to see candlelight shaking in the camp. Meng You and other barbarian soldiers were drunk.
It turned out that Meng You was received by Ma Su and Lu Kai, who were sent by Kong Ming to play many games. They also persuaded Meng You to drink a lot of wine and put some Mongolian sweat medicine in the wine. They all fainted on the ground, as if they were drunk to death. Only when Meng Huo rushed into the camp and asked the people who had woken up did he understand everything.
Meng Huo knew that he had fallen into the trap, so he rescued Meng You and others and prepared to return. As a result, there were loud shouts and fires all around. The barbarian soldiers fled in all directions. Suddenly, a group of men and horses came out. The generals at the head were Wang Ping and Meng Huo. Very surprised, he was about to flee to the left, but suddenly another group of people came and killed him. The leader was Wei Yan. Meng Huo could only escape to the right. When he saw the fire again, a group of people came out and killed him. The general at the head was Zhao Yun. Attacked by soldiers and horses, all sides were blocked. Meng Huo could only abandon his soldiers, found a horse, and fled towards Lu River. Suddenly he saw ten barbarian soldiers on the Lu River, driving a small boat. Meng Huo Let them dock, wait until the men and horses on the boat disembarked, and gave an order to capture Meng Huo alive. It turned out that Ma Dai had been tricked and led his men to pretend to be barbarian soldiers, deliberately wandering in the Lu River, and lured Meng Huo nearby. Captured alive on the spot.
So Kongming recruited barbarian soldiers, and 90% of them surrendered. Kongming comforted them without killing anyone, and asked people to put out the fire. Soon Ma Dai captured Meng Huo, and Zhao Yun captured Meng You, Wei Yan, Ma Zhong, Wang Ping and Guan Suo captured the chiefs of other caves and returned together.
Kong Ming pointed at Meng Huo with a smile and said: "You asked your brother to give a gift and pretend to surrender. How could you hide it from me! Now I have caught you again, are you convinced?"
Meng Huo said: "This is because my brother likes to drink too much and was poisoned by you, so he failed. If I come by myself and let my brother come with soldiers and horses to support me, then I will definitely succeed. This is God’s will, not my fault, and I’m definitely not convinced.”
Kong Ming said: "This is the third time now, are you still not convinced?"
Meng Huo was a little embarrassed after hearing this, but barbarians have no moral integrity to speak of, so naturally they told the truth.
Kong Ming smiled and said, "I'll let you go back again."
Meng Huo said: "If the Prime Minister is willing to let us go back this time, pack up the cronies at home, and fight with the Prime Minister again, if we are captured then, we will definitely surrender with all our hearts."
Kong Ming said: "If you are captured by me again, I will not forgive you easily. You can think about it carefully, read and write military books, organize your cronies to come, and use some good strategies. Don't regret it anymore." After saying this, he asked the warriors to untie the ropes and let Meng Huo, Meng You and many chiefs go away together.
Meng Huo thanked him and left. At this time, the Shu army crossed the Lu River. Meng Huo also crossed the Lu River. He saw soldiers on the shore lined up in order, with flags erected. Meng Huo came to the camp, and Ma Dai stood inside with his sword. Pointing at Meng Huo, he said: "If I catch you this time, I won't let you go!"
When Meng You arrived at his camp, Zhao Yun had already attacked the camp. He lined up his troops and horses, sat in the center of the camp and said, "The prime minister has treated you like this, don't forget his kindness!"
Meng Huo had no choice but to continue retreating. When he reached the hillside at the mountain boundary, Wei Yan led a thousand elite soldiers and placed them on the hillside. He turned his horse's head and shouted back: "I have now penetrated deep into your lair and captured your dangerous terrain. You are still so stupid to resist our army, if you catch it this time, you will be torn into pieces, no problem!"
Meng Huo's face turned gloomy, and he scurried toward his hole with his head in his hands.
