So Yu Yi rewarded Xu Da heavily, and rewarded Yu Daye and Zhang Xiaoya in the name of meritorious service in escorting him. The other students also received rewards, and everyone was impressed by Yu Yi's mind and martial arts. Before leaving, Zhang Nu walked over slowly, pulled Yu Yi and said, "So His Majesty is so mighty."
Yu Yi smiled slightly and said: "After ascending the throne as an emperor, I have no chance to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. My muscles and bones are old!" After saying that, he arranged for the maid to send Zhang Nu back.
On the way, Yu Yi said to Zhang Xiaoya: "I'm not wrong about the person, Zhang Xiaoya, you are very suitable to be my personal attendant."
Zhang Xiaoya blushed and said, "It is my duty to protect His Majesty."
Yu Yi pulled Zhang Xiaoya to his side, looked at Zhang Xiaoya carefully, and said with a bad smile: "I found you are beautiful today, and I like you a little!"
Zhang Xiaoya blushed even more. After all, she had never experienced anything between men and women. She was able to come to Yuyi's side because of Huang Ruier's selection and her own efforts.
Back in the main hall, Yu Yi pulled Zhang Xiaoya to sit down by the bed and kissed her, thus Zhang Xiaoya was blessed. Then Yu Yi announced the canonization of a new concubine, but this concubine was special and shouldered the responsibility of taking care of Yu Yi's life.
It's strange to say that after Yuyi ascended the throne, he thought about many things very complicatedly, and he was also afraid that the people below would use their power to do random things, so he always wanted to take measures. After naming Zhang Xiaoya as a concubine, he was also afraid that she would take advantage of her status as a close servant. , so they secretly sent someone to supervise her behavior.
At the front line, Kong Ming got on a four-wheeled vehicle, surrounded by some soldiers to explore the way ahead, and came to a river called Xi'er River. The water flow was not fast, but there was no ship in the center. Kong Ming had people cut down trees and build ships on the spot, but Strangely, the wood sank when it entered the water.
Kong Ming was puzzled and asked Lu Kai: "What is the reason?"
He replied: "I heard that there is a mountain in the upper reaches of the Er River. There are a lot of bamboos on the mountain. We can send people to cut it down and build a bridge across the river to allow us to get there faster."
Kongming ordered more than 30,000 people to enter the mountains, cut down hundreds of thousands of bamboos, and built a bamboo bridge ten feet wide in a narrow place on the river. He mobilized the army and set up camp in Hebei to drink. As trenches, the pontoon bridge was used as a temporary entrance, and the surrounding soil was dug to make a city. Three large camps were set up near the south bank at one time, ready to wait for the barbarian troops.
Meng Huo led 100,000 barbarian troops and killed them with great hatred. When they arrived at the Xi'er River, Meng Huo led 10,000 soldiers in front and went directly to the camp to challenge. Kong Ming wore a silk scarf on his head and a crane cloak. , holding a feather fan in hand, came out in a carriage, surrounded by generals on the left and right.
Kongming saw Meng Huo wearing rhinoceros leather armor and a vermilion helmet, holding a shield in his left hand and a knife in his right hand. He was riding a red-haired ox and was uttering insults. He had tens of thousands of cave men under his command, all holding shields and knives, ready for conflict. . Kong Ming quickly sent soldiers back to the camp, and sealed the surrounding areas tightly. They were not allowed to fight. The barbarian soldiers came out naked and yelled in front of the camp.
The Shu generals were very angry and came to report to Kong Ming, saying: "The barbarians are so insulting. I hope the prime minister can send us to fight!"
Kong Ming disagreed, and everyone repeatedly asked for a fight. Kong Min stopped him and said: "Now the barbarians do not abide by our king's laws. Now it seems that it is the time when they are crazy and evil. They cannot fight. We should hold on for a few days until their momentum gets stronger." After it’s less, I will naturally have good ways to crack it.”
So the Shu army held on for a few days. Kong Ming was constantly checking the situation from a high place. He felt that the barbarian soldiers had begun to slack off, so he gathered all the generals and said, "Which of you dares to fight?"
Everyone came out happily. Kong Ming called Zhao Yun and Wei Yan in and whispered the plan. After receiving the plan, the two set off first. Then Wang Ping and Ma Zhong entered the camp. After receiving the plan, they said to Ma Dai: "Now I give up." We set up three camps and retreated to Hebei. Once we retreat, we can dismantle the bridge and move it downstream to meet the troops of Zhao Yun and Wei Yan." Ma Dai accepted the plan and left.
He said to Zhang Yi: "We have to prepare to retreat. We should set up some lights in the camp. When Meng Huo sees it, he will definitely come to catch up. You come to break up the rear." Zhang Yi retreated after hearing this. Kong Ming only asked Guan Suo to protect the vehicle. Everyone retreated and the camp Many lights were set up inside, and the barbarian soldiers did not dare to clash rashly when they saw it.
On the second day, Meng Huo led a large group of barbarian troops to the Shu army camp. He saw that there was no one in the three camps, and there were many carts transporting grain and grass abandoned inside.
Meng You said: "Zhuge Liang suddenly abandoned the camp. Is there some trick?"
Meng Huo said: "I guess Zhuge Liang suddenly threw away the baggage. There must be other things in the country, either the invasion of Wu or the attack of Wei. So he lit up the lights to make a bluff to confuse us. Since he abandoned all the chariots, We can pursue it quickly and we can’t miss it.”
So Meng Huo led the front troops and chased him to the Xi'er River. He saw that on the north bank of the river, the flags in the camp were very neat, and Jincheng was set up along the river. Seeing this, the barbarian soldiers did not dare to move forward.
Meng Huo said to Meng You: "Zhuge Liang is afraid that we will continue to pursue him, so he has temporarily stationed on the north bank of the river. He will definitely leave in two days." After saying that, he stationed the barbarian soldiers on the north bank and sent people to the mountains to cut bamboo and build ships. , prepared to cross the river and move some soldiers who dared to fight to the front of the camp, but they did not know that the Shu army had already penetrated deep into their own territory.
That day, a strong wind blew, drums sounded from all sides, and the Shu army came out. The barbarian Dongding were caught off guard and clashed with each other. Meng Huo was very surprised, and quickly led Dongding to fight a bloody road to the old camp. Suddenly a group of men and horses came out of the camp, it was Zhao Yun.
Meng Huo hurriedly walked to the Xi'er River and fled to a remote place. Suddenly a group of men and horses came out and it was Ma Dai. Meng Huo had only a dozen defeated soldiers left and fled into the valley. See Dust flew up in the south, north and west. I thought there were still ambushed soldiers and horses, so I didn't dare to move forward. I could only walk to the east. As soon as I arrived at the mountain pass, suddenly there were more than a dozen people in the woods and exited. There was a four-wheeled cart, and Kong Ming was sitting on it. He laughed and said: "Barbarian King Meng Huo! God made you fail and come here. I have been waiting for a long time."
Meng Huo was very angry after hearing this. He turned around and said to his left and right: "I was assassinated by this man three times and was insulted. Now we meet at this place. You fight hard and chop all the people and vehicles into pieces!"
So the barbarian soldiers rushed forward with all their strength. Meng Huo was the first to shout. Before he came to the woods, there was a sudden sound and he fell into a trap dug in advance. Suddenly another group of people came out of the forest. The leader was Wei Yan, leading them. With hundreds of men and horses, they dragged out the people who fell into the pit one by one and tied them with ropes.
Kongming first went to the camp to recruit barbarian soldiers and horses, as well as cavemen from other caves. Many people put down their weapons and returned to their villages. Except for the dead and wounded, everyone else surrendered.
Kong Ming entertained them with wine and food, and gave them good advice before sending them back. The barbarian soldiers sighed in admiration, and soon Zhang Yi arrived with Meng You.
