people. "

"No need, it's not good to have too many people. You and I are enough." According to the arrangement of the military adviser, many people were not needed, so Ma Chao explained Kong Ming's plan to Cai Yin in detail.So, Cai Yin thought it was strange that the Han army could win many battles, and with such a powerful figure as the commander, it would be difficult not to win, but I don't know some things, how did Kong Ming, who had only been in southern Xinjiang for more than two months, know It's crystal clear.

Meng Huo, King of the Southern Barbarians, was resting in Yinkeng Cave, his old lair, when he thought that his arch-rival, the Desert King, had been captured by the Han army at Wuxi, lost his shelter, and his wife and children had been taken captive again. .Thinking that this place is far away from Wuxi, the Han army's strength is not large, and the terrain is unfamiliar, it should not pose any danger to him, but this time the troops were dispatched, and many troops were lost, so they had to rest for a while.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard that some barbarians came to report that someone shot a letter from outside the cave, which was addressed to the king.After Meng Huozhan read the letter, he was furious, and shouted: "What a desert king, you actually use such a despicable method." It turned out that the letter said that his beloved wife, Mrs. Zhu Rong, had fallen into the hands of the desert king. At the designated place, exchange the desert king's wife and children.Meng Huo seemed to have forgotten that he also captured other people's wives and children, and the methods may not be so bright, but when it comes to methods, there is no distinction between good and bad, as long as they are practical.

Although Meng Huo was not reconciled, after all, the husband and wife love deeply, not to mention that Mrs. Zhu Rong is not an ordinary woman. To Meng Huo, she is not only his wife, but also a powerful general under his command.Meng Huo hadn't figured it out yet. Although his wife liked to go hunting, she couldn't get close to three or five generals. Meng Huo had learned the desert king's ability before, including his subordinates. They should not be able to capture Zhu Rong Madame.Seeing that the exchange place in the desert king's letter was just outside the border under his jurisdiction, Meng Huo thought about it, and ordered someone to bring the desert king's wife and children to the designated place for exchange.

After two days of running around, Meng Huo arrived at the place specified in the letter on time with only his brother and two followers, as well as the desert king's wife and children. over there.

The two sides didn't talk too much when they met. First, they exchanged the hostages in their hands. Then Meng Huo said: "Desert King, your Wuxi has been captured by the Han army, and you are homeless. Why don't you come to my little brother's house to rest for a while?" , in the future, my younger brother will rectify the army and horses, and help you regain Wuxi?"

"Don't bother me, this king will retake Wuxi." The desert king thought to himself, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be homeless today. I will settle this account with you slowly. Get rid of the Han army first.

When Meng Huo was far away, the desert king began to leave. After Caiyin greeted his mother, he was very happy to see that his younger brother was safe and sound. Thinking that Ma Chao was still waiting not far away, he said to the desert king, "Father, This time I was able to save my mother, queen and brother, thanks to the ingenious arrangement of Zhuge Junshi, and thanks to Brother Ma who took the risk of his own life to capture Mrs. Zhu Rong in exchange for his mother, queen and brother. Cai Yin has promised the Han army to return to Wuxi with his father to ask for surrender. , and will never violate the border again.”

But seeing the desert king's face sinking like water, he said coldly: "The Han army took my home, how can I return, my father has borrowed 3 troops from your uncle Sanjiang City Lord, and the Han army is only less than [-] in Wuxi. .Many of my subordinates are also in Wuxi now, taking the opportunity to fight back, they can wipe out the Han army in one fell swoop. Ma Chao is the most brave general in the Han army, and now he is alone, so he can capture or kill him."

"Father, you can't do it. Wouldn't it be like this to avenge your kindness and make others laugh at you?" Cai Yin didn't expect his father to have such a plan.

"Winners and losers, what's the shame?" The desert king was full of resentment, and he couldn't listen to his daughter's words.

Cai Yin didn't want to persuade her anymore, she thought that with Zhuge Liang's ability, it would be impossible for her father to retake Wuxi. After seeing Zhuge Liang last time, Cai Yin found out that they wanted to hurt her father, It's just that they want the father to return, and with Ma Chao's ability, how can they capture or kill him?Presumably Zhuge Liang will have other arrangements, but I don't know what it will be.

When they came to a forest where they met, Ma Chao greeted the Desert King and his party and said, "Desert King, Ma Chao has been ordered to invite you and a group of people to return to Wuxi. The military division is waiting in the city."

"Wuxi is already owned by your Han army. How could this king throw himself into a trap? Ma, you should give way immediately. For the sake of saving people, I can let you live. Otherwise, don't blame this king for taking it." You come to sacrifice the knife."

Ma Chao smiled, thinking that the temper of the desert king is like the weather in June, he can change at will, and he is simple-minded. Now that he has reached this point, he still has delusions in his heart. I should be more polite to you, but now I will let you see one time.Without answering at the moment, with a wave of the dragon rider in his hand, nearly a thousand Han troops flashed out of the woods behind him, and instantly surrounded the Desert King and others.One of the Han troops flew out, and the person sitting immediately was Zhang Fei, the third general, "King of the Desert, I let you run away last time, but this time you still don't want to get off your horse obediently, and I still need Lao Zhang to invite you."

The desert king's face suddenly became very ugly. When he was in a hurry, he heard a shout, and a large group of people was approaching not far away.Looking at the flag, the Desert King burst into ecstasy. It turned out that his younger brother Sanjiang City Lord had arrived with troops.Seeing that the Han army is only a thousand strong, if the two most important generals in the Han army are wiped out in one fell swoop, I am afraid that Wuxi will not be taken back.

Then I knew that the Han army was not panicked. After a while, Sanjiang City Lord and his party came to the front, and more and more people came out.The Desert King couldn't help being taken aback. Standing beside his younger brother was the Cave Master of the Three Caves, and Ma Di, the general of the Han Army.

City Lord Sanjiang came to Desert King and said a little apologetically, "Brother Wang, my younger brother had already advised Brother Wang not to raise troops to fight against the Han army, but Brother Wang refused to listen, so that the army was defeated like a mountain. Meng Huo took the opportunity to sneak attack and lost Wuxi. If it wasn’t for the Han army, even Wang’s sister-in-law and nephew would not be protected. Brother Wang, still can’t wake up? You and my brothers have been in southern Xinjiang for many years, so we should let the people rest and recuperate. Once self-interested, start a war again. Brother Wang sent someone to find younger brother to borrow troops. Originally, you and my brother should help Brother Wang, but this time, younger brother is really hard to obey."

"Brother Yu has been captured by the Han army, and there is nowhere to go. If you don't take it back, where will you live?"

"Brother Wang, the Han army's military division sent General Ma Su to come here and say that he has no intention of occupying Wuxi. As long as Brother Wang promises not to raise troops in southern Xinjiang, the Han army is willing to return to Yongchang and repatriate all captured soldiers. Brothers are good friends and will never offend each other." How could such a condition not be accepted?

"Don't the Han army want me to surrender?" From the bottom of my heart, the surrender of the desert king is still embarrassing.

"Military Master Zhuge said that he would like to form friendly neighbors with His Majesty. As for whether to surrender or not, it is just a matter of formality. It is up to His Majesty to decide." Ma Di thought that the military master offered such a favorable offer in order to stabilize southern Xinjiang for a period of time. Conditions, if you desert king is not sensible, don't blame us for being rude.

The desert king thought to himself, even his younger brother will no longer help me, the current situation is pressing, not to mention, as the Han army said, then he has no loss, if he does not accept it, I am afraid that he will really become a lonely family.

"In this case, I would like to return to Wuxi to ask for surrender." Anyway, the desert king wanted to be more generous.

There were lanterns and festoons in Wuxi City, and in the desert king's mansion, Kong Ming held a grand banquet for the desert king and others.At the banquet, the King of the Desert accompanied Kong Ming with a salute: "Military Master Zhuge, I really shouldn't be fighting you in vain. It's just because I was persecuted by Meng Huo at the beginning. Fortunately, Prince Jiyu sent the governor Zhang Ren to help me restore the country. Hearing that the emperor's uncle occupied Xichuan, he thought of the kindness of Prince Ji Yu before, so he sent troops to disturb the territory."

"My lord, my lord is a king of benevolence and righteousness. I am a brother of the same clan as Liu Zhang. It is God's will to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty and replace Liu Zhang. Now that Xichuan has been flat, he has not been harmed. This shows the benevolence of our lord!" It is really not easy to keep him from dying.

The desert king thinks about it too, but seeing how the Han army can treat him like this, it must be good for Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang’s cowardice has long been heard, and Liu Bei’s righteousness has also been heard for a long time. They are brothers of the same clan, and I really don’t need it What's more, I had selfish intentions to take this opportunity to attack the city and seize land, but the confrontation is not the opponent of the Han army, so why not stop here.

"This king has heard about Uncle Liu's benevolence and righteousness. This king surrenders wholeheartedly. Now I swear here that the two families will become good friends and never invade each other." So far, the desert king has surrendered sincerely.

Kongming ordered all the Han troops to go out of Wuxi City, set up camp outside the city, and report the surrender form presented by the Desert King and the battle situation to Chengdu. He retreated, but in consideration of the overall situation, he ordered a three-day rest.

That day the desert king's younger brother Sanjiang City Lord came to the camp. Kong Ming joined the Chinese army tent and was asking him what's the matter. Sanjiang City Lord dawdled for a long time, but he still didn't speak. It was hard for him to tell.

Finally, the Lord of Sanjiang City explained his purpose of coming. It turned out that the King of Desert wanted him to come to matchmaking for his niece Cai Yin and wanted to betroth Ma Chao.

Kong Ming thought to himself, I can't decide this matter, Ma Chao's mind is probably only one person, although Miss Caiyin is good, and the marriage has certain benefits, but Ma Chao must be willing to do it.It's just that the desert king opened his mouth. If he flatly refused, he might feel dissatisfied.After thinking for a while, he replied: "This matter is related to Meng Qi's life. Liang can't decide. He can only answer after Liang asks Meng Qi."

Sanjiang City Lord thought that what Kong Ming said made sense, so he had to reply to the Desert King first.But I don't know that it was Cai Yin who begged her father to ask for it.
