Meng Huo and Mrs. Zhu Rong both fell into the trap designed by Zhuge Liang. The sudden scene made the rebels nervous. The rebels suddenly rushed out from all directions and wanted to rob people, but Zhuge Liang was already prepared. Turning around and leaving, the guards responded in time, and then heard a loud "boom", and the high hill was exploded, sending dust flying into the air. "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom" A series of explosions came one after another, and a very deep tunnel was blown out under the bare flat ground, which just blocked the progress of the rebels. At the same time, under A secret passage was also exposed under the high hill. A square cage made of fine steel was sliding forward rapidly in the secret passage and disappeared in the blink of an eye. It turned out that Zhuge Liang had already arranged all this. He first had people dig a large and deep tunnel under the ground, and then built such a huge cage specifically to capture Meng Huo and Mrs. Zhu Rong. In order to To make the cage moveable, he laid logs one after another under the cage and created a relatively steep slope, allowing the cage to slide forward without any human effort. A carriage was placed at the exit of the tunnel to haul away the cage. In order to stop the advance of the rebels, thunderbolts were specially planted underground to blast a large hole in the ground to block the rebels' progress. Zhuge Liang¡¯s plan was perfect. Not only did he not cause any casualties, he also captured the leader of the rebels, Meng Huo. For everyone involved in this operation, they felt extremely proud in their hearts. Thousands of rebels were blocked by the blasted pits. They could only watch their king being captured by the enemy. Even if they had many ideas, they were unable to do anything at this moment. Under the protection of the soldiers, Zhuge Liang soon gathered with the carriage of the captive Meng Huo and Mrs. Zhu Rong. He saw Meng Huo sitting in the prison carriage and kept cursing, and Zhuge Liang just laughed it off. At this moment, Zhang Liao was in the Han army's camp, because the camp was far away from the meeting place. Moreover, the explosion came from underground, so the spread was not too wide, and Zhang Liao did not know the situation during the meeting. Still, he stared at the map. Patiently waiting for the scout's return. Not long after, the scouts sent by Zhang Liao to find out the news came back. As soon as they entered the camp, they knelt on the ground with a bang and said out of breath: "Qi the Commander-in-Chief Zhuge Military Advisor" " What happened to Zhuge's military advisor?" Zhang Liao was very concerned about this matter, although he did not send any troops. But he still couldn't calm down in his heart. Seeing the scout's panic, he asked hurriedly before the scout finished speaking. The scout said: "Meng HuoMeng Huo was captured by Zhuge Military Advisorandand Mrs. Zhu Rong" "What?" Zhang Liao couldn't believe his ears and asked again, "What did you just say? What? Say it again! " "Zhuge Military Advisor has captured the leader of the rebels, Meng Huo, and also captured Mrs. Zhu Rong, who was originally released by the military advisor. She is probably almost at the military camp now." Take a few breaths. Only then did he finish speaking in one breath. Zhang Liao looked curious. He only gave Zhuge Liang 500 soldiers. Meng Huo brought tens of thousands of troops. How could Zhuge Liang capture Meng Huo so easily? So, Zhang Liao asked the scout, who happened to be present at the time, and told Zhang Liao everything about the situation. After Zhang Liao heard this, he suddenly felt that this young man named Zhuge Liang really had two skills. It seems that he underestimated Zhuge Liang. "Grand Governor" Suddenly, a hurried shout came from outside the camp, and the voice was loud. As soon as Zhang Liao heard the voice, he knew that Huang Zhong was coming. The roller blind was opened. Huang Zhong's face was suddenly revealed, with an expression of joy on his face. As soon as he entered the tent, he excitedly said to Zhang Liao: "Grand Commander, Zhuge Military Advisor has captured Meng Huo and is now outside the camp. The general is here. Tell the Governor this good news!" Zhang Liao said: "I already know! General Huang, Zhuge Military Advisor has made such a great contribution, so I must personally welcome you. How about you come with me?" !" As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Liao strode out of the camp, followed closely by Huang Zhong, and the two of them walked out of the camp one after the other. At the same time, the entire Han army camp was like a pot exploding. Everyone rushed to tell the news about Meng Huo's capture. The soldiers poured out of the camp one after another, and everyone's face showed a burst of happiness. , this is such long-lost good news for them. After a while, the gate of the camp was crowded with people. Zhuge Liang was riding a war horse, leading the 500 soldiers sent to him by Zhang Liao, and escorting a prisoner truck.Slowly approaching the camp, under the gaze of everyone, Meng Huo and Mrs. Zhu Rong in the prison car seemed to be a rare and exotic beast, and they all rushed to watch. Meng Huo was tired of scolding all the way. Seeing that the Han people ignored him, he simply shut up and remained silent. At this time, seeing himself being watched from a distance like he was parading in the street, he felt only angry and more filled with hatred for Zhuge Liang. "The Commander-in-Chief is here!" With a high-pitched shout, the soldiers in the camp shut their mouths one after another, and took the initiative to give way to a road at the gate of the village. Only Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Wenpin, and Wu Yi were seen. Everyone followed Zhang Liao and slowly walked to the entrance of the village. Zhang Liao looked at Zhuge Liang not far away, but his mood was very complicated. He never expected that Zhuge Liang could really capture Meng Huo. And he was ashamed of his previous distrust and funny behavior towards Zhuge Liang. At this moment, Zhang Liao finally knew why the regent Zhang Yan specifically asked him to cooperate with Zhuge Liang. Zhang Liao led an army of 100,000, and had been confronting the rebels here for almost half a year, but had only achieved some results. However, Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo less than ten days after his arrival, and he only used 500 men. It¡¯s just that this ability is not something everyone can possess. At this moment, Zhang Liao truly admired Zhuge Liang. When Zhuge Liang was about to arrive at the gate of the village, he saw Zhang Liao and his civil and military officials lining up to welcome him. He reined in his horse, jumped off his horse, and walked straight towards Zhang Liao and others. He first bowed his hands to Zhang Liao, and then He bowed his hands to the generals and then said to Zhang Liao: "Grand Governor, Kong Ming is fortunate to have lived up to his command. None of the five hundred soldiers lent to Kong Ming by the Grand Governor were damaged. He also presented the rebel leader Meng Huo and Mrs. Zhu Rong with his wife. Please make a decision, Commander-in-Chief Zhang Liao grabbed Zhuge Liang's hand and said excitedly: "I have led an army of 100,000 people and have been fighting the rebels here for nearly half a year, with little progress. I don't want the military advisor to attack them within ten days. The rebel leader has been captured, and the military advisor is really a genius!" Zhuge Liang said humbly: "Grand Governor, without your efforts in the first half of the year, how could I have achieved Kong Ming's success today? What happened today is also closely related to the efforts of the Governor and the generals. In terms of credit, it should be the credit of everyone, not just Kong Ming." After hearing this, Zhang Liao and others felt relieved. Zhuge Liang had another perspective. "Grand Governor, now that the rebel leader has been captured, has the Grand Governor thought about what to do?" Zhuge Liang asked. After Zhang Liao heard this, he led the generals to the edge of the prison car. He looked at Meng Huo in the prison car and asked: "Meng Huo! You have been captured by our army, are you willing to surrender?" "Hmph! I Meng Huo, the majestic king of Nanzhong, wants me to surrender, which is even harder than going to heaven." Meng Huo said coldly. Zhang Liao said: "Since you are unwilling to surrender, we have no choice but to kill you! As long as your head is hung up so that your rebels can see it, they will definitely surrender after hearing the news!" "If you want to kill or behead, I know. It's up to you, I, Meng Huo, am still afraid of you!" Meng Huo said. At this time, Mrs. Zhu Rong suddenly spoke to Zhuge Liang and said: "Zhuge Liang, don't forget, we have an agreement. As long as you keep our husband and wife alive, the two of us will help you become the king of Shu!" Zhuge Liang listened. Finally, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said to Mrs. Zhu Rong: "Madam, you are so witty, you actually learned to retaliate so quickly." Turning around, Zhuge Liang said to Zhang Liao: "Grand Governor, Meng Huo doesn't know how to do it. I wonder what the governor is going to do with those who surrender easily? " Zhang Liao said: "Meng Huo is the leader of the rebels. Since he is unwilling to surrender, let's kill him. Once he is done, he will kill the monkeys and warn the rebels again. Destroying the spirit of the rebels, it can also comfort the souls of those soldiers who died in Nanzhong!" Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Grand Governor, if the Nanzhong rebels captured in the future are unwilling to surrender, wouldn't they? "Kill them all?" "That's natural! Kill these dissatisfied people, and then others will naturally obey!" Gan Ning interrupted. Zhang Liao didn't say anything, but he didn't deny it either. He seemed to agree with Gan Ning's words. Seeing this, Zhuge Liang hurriedly said: "Master Governor, killing is a very easy thing, but every time we kill someone, it will only increase the hatred of the people in Nanzhong. Today, we are trying to be quick, but we are giving It will bring a lot of trouble in the future. I can roughly guess what the governor is thinking. As long as Meng Huo dies, the rebels will be leaderless and will be in disarray. At this time, our army is attacking with all its strength, and we will definitely be able to put down this situation quickly. There was a rebellion, but most of them.??Have you ever thought that although the rebellion has been put down, the natives in Nanzhong are not of the same mind as us. As long as we withdraw, they may still rebel, and the cycle will continue. I am afraid that the chaos in Nanzhong will continue. It can never be settled. "Zhang Liao heard Zhuge Liang's words and asked: "What does the military counselor mean" Zhuge Liang said: "My meaning is very simple. It is still the same sentence, attacking the city is the bottom priority, and attacking the heart is the top priority. It is better to convince the people of Nanzhong than to occupy the city and land with your tone. Meng Huo is the leader of the rebels. If even he can surrender to us Han, the rest of the rebels will naturally be out of the question. Zhang Liaopin realized what Zhuge Liang meant and asked, "Do you want me to let Meng Huo go?"
