In the quiet night, except for the sound of gurgling water by the river, there was only the sound of snoring in the camp. Everyone who had been tired for a day finally got a rest at this moment, and basically fell asleep in bed. The bonfires rising around the camp flickered, and the soldiers in charge of the night fell asleep. These days of successive victories made them more and more bold. They were so close to the Han army, and they were just simple. They gathered together and set up tents to stop the trouble. There was no defensive anything placed around the perimeter. Maybe it's because the skilled people are bold, or maybe they think the Han people are really afraid of this, but no matter what, these people are confident because there are groups of elephants among them. These behemoths are a big threat to the Han army. , is a huge pressure. At midnight, the cold moon was covered by large dark clouds, and the earth fell into darkness. Not long after, countless black shadows quietly approached the camp under the cover of this darkness. Groups of elephants were immersed in a deep sleep, not noticing the approaching danger. Groups of pythons crawled forward quickly on the ground, making subtle rustling sounds from time to time. Compared with humans, the senses of animals are several times stronger than humans. Even though the python left such a small sound when it moved, it was still discovered by the animals. An elephant suddenly woke up and howled in fear. , then one after another the elephants were awakened from their sleep, and they all began to become manic and restless. They howled together in an attempt to break through the fence outside. The soldier who was responsible for guarding the elephant was also woken up soon after. Seeing the elephant being so irritable and restless, he was a little confused. While he was still wondering, a python suddenly opened its bloody mouth and pounced on him. It came over and bit his arm, causing him to scream. Immediately afterwards, more and more pythons began to attack the crowd, and the soldiers guarding the elephants suddenly fell into panic and screamed repeatedly. The elephants were even more restless, desperately shaking the outer fence with their trunks. "Bang!" With a loud noise, the elephants successfully broke through the fence, panicking. He took a step and fled in all directions. For a while, the camp fell into a panic. Groups of elephants rushed into each other like headless flies. The camp suddenly became a mess. Many soldiers were attracted by the elephants' thick and strong bodies. His legs were crushed to death. One stone stirs up a thousand waves. The chaos of elephants disrupted the entire camp, and everyone was awakened. But when they woke up, they saw that the ground was covered with dense pythons. There were countless pythons, large and small, and these soldiers were all He was so frightened that he started charging wildly with the elephant. At this moment, countless torches suddenly lit up outside the camp. People holding torches threw their torches into the camp, and the entire camp was instantly engulfed in fire. Flames roasted the earth, the camp was in chaos, people shuttled randomly among the elephants, and countless arrows were shot from all directions. In a moment, this originally peaceful and peaceful night turned into a purgatory ¡ At dawn time, the battle has ended. None of the three thousand Funan warriors survived, and all died here. Most of the elephants they were proud of fled without a trace, and the remaining small number were either bitten to death by pythons or burned to death by fire. Or they were shot to death by arrows, and they all died here. At this moment, Meng Huo led the Black Dragon Cave Master, brought the Cave Master and more than a thousand rebels to fight from the west. They happened to witness everything here. Before Meng Huo and others could react, ambush troops suddenly appeared from all directions. out. It actually surrounded Meng Huo and others inside. Like frightened birds, Meng Huo and others turned around and wanted to retreat. Unfortunately, the encirclement was too tight. They rushed left and right and were unable to break out. Half an hour later, they were all killed by the Han army. Even the master of the Black Dragon Cave was killed. He was also beheaded by Xu Huang, Huang Zhong shot and killed the cave master who brought him to the cave, and Meng Huo was captured alive by Gan Ning. On a high slope to the east of the battlefield, Zhuge Liang sat on a stool and watched the battle clearly. When he saw Meng Huo being captured, the Black Dragon Cave Master, and the Cave Master who brought him to the cave were killed, and all the rebels were helpless. When one person escaped, he immediately ordered: "Bring Meng Huo to me!" After a while, Gan Ning led Meng Huo to Zhuge Liang, and angrily shouted at Meng Huo: "Kneel down!" Meng Huo Although he was captured, his backbone was still there, his body stood upright, with no intention of kneeling, and his eyes were actually full of contempt. "Kneel down!" Gan Ning kicked Meng Huo's leg. Meng Huo's leg bent forward, but Gan Ning pushed him directly to the ground. He still wanted to struggle, but he couldn't break free. , simply knelt on the ground. When Zhuge Liang saw that Meng Huo still looked disdainful, he said:?Meng Huo! Do you have anything else to say this time? Meng Huo snorted coldly and said loudly: "Since I have been captured by you again, I have nothing to say. If you want to kill or behead me, it's up to you!" " Zhuge Liang said: "Meng Huo! If I wanted to kill you and chop you up, I wouldn't let you go so many times! Now that you are at the end of your rope, if you don¡¯t surrender, how long will it take? " "I, Meng Huo, will be unlucky if I meet you in this life. I only have beheaded people in Nanzhong, and there are no surrenders. You want to kill or behead, as you like, if I, Meng Huo, blink an eye. , my name is not Meng Huo! Meng Huo said. Zhuge Liang said: "Why are you so stubborn? If I want to kill you, why do I have to wait until now?" I catch you and release you again and again, just to make you convinced and know the power of my great man, so that you will not dare to make random mistakes in the future. You are quite prestigious in Nanzhong and you are also a man. If you are willing to surrender, I can make you the king of Nanzhong again! " "What good is there to be the king of Nanzhong under the puppet? You'd better kill me and stop wasting your breath! " "Do you really think I don't dare to kill you? Zhuge Liang asked, seeing Meng Huo's stubbornness. "Meng Huo has nothing else to ask for, but death!" " "good! I will make it happen for you! Someone, pull him down and chop him down! " As soon as he finished speaking, Gan Ning took out the sword from his waist and put it on Meng Huo's neck with a swipe. But when he saw that Meng Huo did not dodge, there was no trace of fear on his face. It was indeed a sword. A good man. "The sword saves people." At this moment, a high-pitched voice suddenly came over. Mrs. Zhu Rong rode a fast horse from a distance, shouting loudly as she ran: "The sword saves people." " Not long after, Mrs. Zhu Rong came to the bottom of the high slope, turned over and jumped off the horse. She walked straight up the high slope. Once she reached the high slope, she knelt in front of Zhuge Liang and prayed: "Zhuge Military Advisor, please spare me. My husband¡¯s life! " "Madam! You get up. Get up quickly! "Meng Huo shouted. Mrs. Zhu Rong said: "Husband, the situation is over now. Zhuge Military Advisor has spared your life time and time again. It's already a great blessing. We can't defeat the Han army, so we should just admit defeat! " "Madam, how come even you Oh! "Meng Huo said dejectedly. Mrs. Zhu Rong said: "Husband, think about it carefully. If you look at the current situation calmly, we have no way to retreat. Even the soldiers and horses of Funan Kingdom you borrowed were defeated by Zhuge Liang, and we are no match. This world belongs to the Han Dynasty, and we can't shake it at all! Moreover, the king of Funan Kingdom has already sent people, saying that he wants to plead guilty to the Han army. Husband, you'd better accept your fate! If you die, how will my daughter and I live? " "Madam" Seeing that Meng Huo was a little moved, Zhuge Liang waved his hand towards Gan Ning. Gan Ning stepped back knowingly, and Zhuge Liang then said: "Meng Huo, aren't you going to surrender? " "I" Mrs. Zhu Rong said: "Husband, surrender. We have no other way to go! " Meng Huo saw his wife pleading hard and thought of his daughter. Finally he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Come on, surrender, just surrender, for my wife! " "Zhuge Military Advisor. Meng Huo is willing to surrender and let his military advisor handle him! "Meng Huo said sincerely. "Hahaha In this way, Nanzhong can be settled! Zhuge Liang laughed. On the ninth day of March in the sixth year of Wude in the Han Dynasty, Meng Huo, the last hidden danger in Nanzhong, finally surrendered to the Han and chose to surrender. The rebellion in Nanzhong, which lasted for eight months, was finally put down. Because Meng Huo was in Nanzhong After surrendering to the Han army, Zhuge Liang still insisted on letting Meng Huo be the leader, and organized all the Nanzhong areas into counties, called Yunnan County. Wu Yi served as the prefect of Yunnan County and led an army of 20,000 to garrison it. Here, Meng Huo served as the magistrate of Yunnan County, and other tribal leaders such as Yang Feng were divided into counties, townships and towns according to the location of their respective tribes. Their chiefs were all served by local tribal leaders, but they all followed Han law. In addition, the Kingdom of Funan volunteered to serve as a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, and the rest of the southwestern countries all requested tribute to the Han Dynasty. At this point, the chaos in Nanzhong was all put down, and the world was unified! On April 15th, Zhang Liao, Zhuge Liang and others returned to the dynasty, and all the heroes came back! All were rewarded, and there was a lively scene in Pengcheng. Inside the palace, Chen Qun, the Minister of Household Affairs, was standing in the Queen Mother's palace, holding a memorial letter in his hand, waiting for the reply from the Emperor Liu Feng and the Eunuch General Chen Qun. The memorial was handed to Empress Dowager Gongsun. The Empress Dowager Gongsun took Chen Qun's memorial and glanced at it hastily, then sneered and said slowly: "I had anticipated this day, but I didn't expect it to come so soon" ???This matter is in line with the will of God and the will of the people. I ask the Queen Mother for her permission! "Chen Qun said. "The Empress Dowager Gongsun said: "Even if I don't agree with you, I'm afraid it won't work." I just want to know, what will the regent do to our mother and son? " Chen Qun said: "Your Majesty has a distinguished status and is still young. After abdication, he will be named the King of Langya and move to Langya County. Then someone will take good care of your Majesty, so I won't bother the Queen Mother! " "What about me, how will the regent deal with it? " Empress Dowager Gongsun asked. Chen Qun said: "The status of the Queen Mother is also extremely noble, but after Your Majesty's abdication, the Queen Mother is no longer the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is not your Majesty's biological mother, so there is no need to follow King Langya to Langya. County. However, the Queen Mother can rest assured that the Regent has always been generous and will not treat the Queen Mother poorly. The Queen Mother is still so young and such a beautiful beauty. If she is to be alone for the rest of her life, she will not be sorry for her. Therefore, the regent has already chosen a marriage for his empress. After the regent ascends the throne, he will marry his empress and become the queen of the Xianbei people. This can be regarded as making one last contribution to my great man! " Empress Dowager Gongsun knew early on that she would not have any good results. After hearing such an ending, she burst out laughing: "I am so grateful to the regent for the marriage! " Chen Qun bowed and said, "As long as the empress likes it. After the court tomorrow morning, the capital will be moved. I hope the empress will make good plans. I will resign! " After Chen Qun left, Empress Dowager Gongsun looked up to the sky and roared: "The Han Dynasty's hundreds of years of foundation will no longer belong to the Liu family! It¡¯s just pity that Feng Er turned out to be the king of subjugation" (To be continued.)
