Zhuge was reborn, killed the old thief Sima

Chapter 501 Zhuge Liang Ding Nanzhong (third update)
While Yuexi County and Zangqi County were undergoing earth-shaking changes, there was almost no movement in Yizhou County, which was the most serious rebellion.

Meng Huo and Yong Kai, who had no way to escape, were guarding the Wubao and camp they had just built. At the same time, many wealthy families in Yizhou County were guarding the city.

Repeatedly struggling and arguing amidst surrender and stubborn resistance!

As the commander-in-chief of the army, Zhuge Liang had no intention of marching at this time. He just pressed the army directly on the border between Yizhou County and Jianwei.

Continuous training and integration of soldiers, putting pressure on the opponent again and again, made their military morale collapse even more.

Under such pressure from the army, the rebels in Yizhou County finally had differences.

More and more people are secretly planning to sell out the most determined Yong Kai and the barbarian leader Meng Huo, and then dedicate Yizhou County to Zhuge Liang in one fell swoop to atone for their sins.

Under this situation, Yong Kai and Meng Huo became increasingly anxious.

However, Meng Huo sent troops several times to test and use force to break the deadlock, but in the end he was directly repelled by Zhuge Liang.

It didn't give him any opportunity at all.

On the contrary, because of his several failures, the morale of the army was even lower.

Just when they were thinking about what they should do, an accident that none of them thought of directly helped them break the deadlock.

The ally Cuan Xi, who had moved all his troops and people because he was worried about his own safety, directly opened the gate of Nawu Fort at this time of life and death.

Suddenly, the Han army, which had been trained for a long time, rushed in directly. With the cooperation of Cuan Xi and his soldiers and horses, they captured Yong Kai, the rebel leader, as quickly as possible.

Then Zhuge Liang used the attack on Wubao as an excuse to once again lure out the barbarian commander Meng Huo, who was stationed in the camp not far away, and Yong Kai relied on him.

And in the middle of the road, with the young general Zhang Yi as the main general, he directly ambushed the barbarian soldiers and defeated them.

Later, Xiang Chong took this opportunity to directly seize Meng Huo's camp, leaving him with nowhere to return.

The other generals surrounded Meng Huo from all directions, leaving Meng Huo with nowhere to escape. In the end, Xiang Chong caught up and captured him alive.

When Meng Huo, who was tied up with five flowers, saw Yong Kai, who was also tied up with five flowers, except for a wry smile, perhaps there was only anger on his face.

Especially when he saw Cuan Xi following Zhuge Liang, he was even more angry!
"The Han people are cunning, and they are indeed treacherous people when I see them today!"

Meng Huo seemed to feel that he had no way out, so he spoke out his rhetoric towards Zhuge Liang and Cuan Xi.

As for Yong Kai, he didn't say a word. He just stood there with his head held high, quietly waiting for his fate.

"At this time, these rebels look like heroes who are willing to die.

On the contrary, some people around me and I really think it’s a bit ridiculous! "

Next to Zhuge Liang, Yang Yi, the chief clerk in charge of military supplies, has always been a person who can't hide his worries.

Now looking at the people present, they couldn't help but say something that should never be said at this time.

Many people's expressions changed slightly, but no one refuted.

Even Cuan Xi was smiling all over his face at this time, as if he couldn't hear the question in his words at all.

This look made everyone present feel contemptuous because they wanted to take pride in their moral integrity!

"Wei Gong, I don't agree with what you just said." Zhuge Liang just chuckled, then looked at Cuan Xi beside him, "What do you want to say about this?"

"." Cuan Xi looked at Zhuge Liang, who had a kind face and no shame at all, and couldn't help but tremble slightly in his heart, "Sir, you know that Xi committed a serious crime and was dismissed from office. Over the years, Xi In this southern land, its reputation has never been very good."

"It is true that you have a bad reputation, but this Nanzhong is also an extraordinary place." Zhuge Liang did not punish Cuan Xi for his past mistakes. Instead, he sat down calmly and invited him to take a seat.

"We are all outsiders, so we want Brother Cuan to explain to us the past of Nanzhong.

Let me know what kind of place this Nanzhong is? "

Under Zhuge Liang's gaze, Cuan Xi couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then looked at Yong Kai and Meng Huo, with a rather helpless smile on his lips.

"If I say so, this Nanzhong is the place where I want to leave even in my dreams.

I wonder if sir and the generals can't help but laugh? "

Cuan Xi's words indeed silenced everyone in the camp.

It is hard to leave one's homeland, this is a saying that everyone understands. Under the leadership of Zhuge Liang, Yizhou, Jingzhou and even Jiaozhou have seen migrations one after another in recent years.

Even the barbarian people in the mountains were resistant to migration.

All difficulties actually boil down to four words: It’s hard to leave your homeland!
But today, someone actually told them that their homeland was the place they had always wanted to leave.

This is simply ridiculous.

But what Cuan Xi said next made them unable to laugh out loud.

"Perhaps you have heard that Emperor Xiaowu conquered the north and south, conquered the Huns in the north, and conquered the barbarians in the south.

He has opened up countless territories, he is truly a hero!
But after opening up the territory, we faced not only military battles, but also governance matters.

Therefore, under the order of Emperor Xiaowu, the ancestors of many families, including myself, brought their clansmen here, to this land in the south.

From now on, Nanzhong has become our new homeland, a homeland that we will never be able to leave! "

"Do you know where this place is?
Just in the land of Yizhou County, it has jurisdiction over 19 counties including Dianchi, Shengxiu, Yuyuan, and Tonglao!

The territory is vast and there are many cities, where common people and barbarians live together, and there are countless merchants wandering around and grabbing a lot of benefits.

My family owns countless fertile fields and lives like a local bully.

But this is just Yizhou County today! "

“This place was the homeland of the Dian Kingdom back then, and it was the place where we, the Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty, established the prefectures and counties after the overthrow of the Dian Kingdom.

When we came here, what we faced were not 19 county towns, vast land and countless slaves on fertile farmland!

What our ancestors faced were countless mountains and forests and miasma, and the barbarians who drank blood from their hair.

It’s a future where we’re going to be fighting at every turn, and we never know if we’ll live to see the sun rise the next day.”

“We have lost so many ancestors and clan members for today’s Nanzhong.

But today in Nanzhong, there is no place for us to stand! "
