This is a battle of dignity and friendship, a battle of trust and betrayal, and a battle of hatred and reconciliation. Meng Huo and Wutugu, the two most powerful people in southern Xinjiang, stood in two camps and fought for the same goal.

Should the future of the barbarians rise in fighting with the Han people, or should the reconciliation with the Han people and the CCP prosper?

Two completely different concepts ultimately need to be resolved and argued based on the dialogue between swords and swords.

This is a kind of sorrow, but helpless.

Meng Huo and Wu Tugu didn't think so much. They were both people who only believed in strength, so they rushed towards each other directly. The friendship of the past could not affect their beliefs at this time, but both sides were barbarians, which made them unable to bear to shed too much blood.

The two of them had to solve their own problems, and they each rushed towards each other by defeating their horses.

The ancient pine-patterned giant sword hit the three sky-holding forks, making a loud noise on the battlefield. The two people who knew each other tried their best to attack their opponents. Blood rushed in their bodies, their eyes burned in the interweaving, weapons bit each other and made a loud noise of overwhelmed princesses. The four hooves of the war horses stepped on the ground and rolled up dust and smoke. The two war drums were like thunder, and the shouts moved the sky, and flags were flying.

After more than thirty rounds of battle, Meng Huo's curly red rabbit horse quickly turned behind Wutugu, and a sword hit the back of Wutugu. There was a big uproar in the Han army camp, and the barbarian camp shouted loudly.

There was a loud bang, and Wu Tu Bone shook his horse slightly, but it was not serious. Meng Huo was shocked. This was a trick to lure the enemy. How could I forget that he had the vine armor to protect him and was invulnerable to swords and guns. But Wu Tu Bone waved his hand and swept the huge fork rod in the waist. When Meng Huosheng wanted to avoid it, it was too late and he was knocked off the horse. He rolled a few times on the ground and was about to get up. Wu Tu Bone had already crossed his throat.

In an instant, the entire battlefield was silent, and only the wind blew the flags whistled.

Everyone looked at the battlefield without believing it, looking at Meng Huo who was lying on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the two sides seemed to have exploded the camp. Dong Tuna and Ah Hui led various barbarian troops to flock to grab Meng Huo. There was already Tuan, and Xi Ni and the generals came forward, and there was another melee, and a chaos was in chaos.

Wu Tugu suddenly burst out with a loud shout: "Stop!"

Both sides were stunned and stopped. Wu Tugu looked at Meng Huo on the ground and said, "King Meng, you and I have been in love for many years. Today, I have reached this situation. Today, I will let you go, and you will go back. If you don't accept it, fight me again next day!"

Meng Huo turned over and was already blushing: "If you let me go, I will still kill you."

"Then you can kill me too." Wu Tugu didn't care about Meng Huo's threat.

Meng Huofei turned around and returned to the camp, and said, "Let's wait."

Meng Huo turned around: "Do you regret it again?"

Wutugu said, "Take your brother back." The flag gate behind Wutugu opened, Meng You was tied with his arms and placed on a horse and put it back.

"Third brother, why are you..."

Meng Huo felt chills all over his body. Knowing that the situation was not good, he grabbed Meng You's silk reins and rushed back to the team.

In the military tent, Meng You cried to Meng Huo, "Second brother, I'm sorry for you. I was deceived by that Wang Jun. He knew how to speak mantras and had unique skills. He pretended to be sick and lied to me to visit. I was accidentally captured by him. Then he made a big fuss in the military camp, killed the three Jinhuans and released Xiang Chong's army. Overnight, the two battalions of barbarians were killed and defeated. I rode alone to report the news, but I met Wu Tu Gu on the road and was captured by him. Second brother, we were defeated, but what should I do!"

Meng Huo shook his body and slapped Meng You in the face with a palm: "You stupid guy!"

Meng You cried, "Second brother, I heard from Wu Tugu that Xiang Chong's troops had gone to Yelang and left my retreat. Yang Feng and his troops were also contacting Duosimulu and others to come to fight us. What should we do now? The Lan can no longer take it down. If you don't retreat, you're afraid that you can't even go back to the mountains and forests."

Meng Huo stared at Meng You in a daze, as if he hadn't heard Meng You's words. In an instant, the eldest brother Meng Jie opposed the powerful opposition to the troops, Duosi ignored the troops, Mulu waited for the troops, the earnest instructions of his wife Zhurong when she left, the bloody battle of the stone man, the ambush of Yingsuya, and the attack and defense of Lancheng, Wutu's giant fork, was humiliated in front of the formation. In front of tens of thousands of barbarians, he fell in front of Wutu's Gu, and his two brothers were released... Blood was spreading, blood was surging, and blood was everywhere... Barbarians, where is the future of the barbarians...

"Second brother, what should we do? You are talking. Originally, the eldest brother opposed our troops to send troops, and the cave masters of various departments did not support much. The second brother believed that Ji Han was declining and had to send troops. But now, we have no way to heaven and no way to enter the ground. What should we do? Second brother, what's wrong with you, Second brother? Second brother!"

Seeing that Meng Huo didn't move, Meng You stepped forward and grabbed his hand. He felt that his hands were as cold as ice. When he shook, Meng Huo suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood and he rushed down.

"Second brother, second brother!" Meng You shouted.

In the tent of the commander, the bright pine Ming was jumping and shaking according to the figure. The marshals of the Barbarian Army Cave who were in and out all had strange faces. Needless to say, everything was obvious.

During the siege a few days ago, the king seemed to be crazy and suppressed the entire army. On the first night, he almost captured Qilan and climbed the city several times the next day. At that time, the Han army on the top of the city could no longer support it, and there were more barbarians in the city. At that time, everyone was crazy. Although the king asked to only attack the Han people and not the barbarians, there were so many places on the battlefield. Naturally, whoever stopped him would kill him. As a result, eight or nine hundred heads were cut off the next day, most of which were barbarians. Then they captured Ximen, although they were squeezed out in the end, but Ximen was turned up.

The nearby house was burned clean. Seeing that Qilan was about to break out, everyone was overjoyed. However, on the evening of the next day, the Han Dynasty Deng Shuo organized hundreds of barbarian women to climb the city. The barbarians outside the city were even more overjoyed, thinking that the Han army was going to surrender, and used these women to exchange for Qilan's safety. While everyone was in an uproar, the women put mourning cloth on their heads and picked up swords and guns at them. The heavy swords and guns made their thin bodies tremble. They laughed. Could it be that Qilan had no one and had to rely on these women to defend the city? This was a huge joke.

They laughed at them, they humiliated them. They didn't know that they were relatives of the killed barbarians, they didn't know that the houses they burned made them homeless, and they didn't know that Deng Shuo had already flattened the rebellion in Qilan City and was using them to gather morale. They heard a roar like a bear in the city. Then, teams of barbarians rushed to the city, which were the barbarian rebels that had been trained, teams of barbarians rushed to the city, which were prisoners and slaves who were imprisoned, and teams of barbarians rushed to the city.

, It was the Qilan barbarians who were killed and burned the houses... They stabbed the hornet's nest and fell in love with the Han people. Their burning and killing made the entire Qilan angry. From that day on, they lost the initiative. Although Qilan City was broken, they could never break through again until Wutugu's army came. Meng Huo once said: "Even if we are given another three days, we can capture this city." Everyone was half-believing. Since the battle, the king seemed to be as brave and invincible as when he was in the southern border. Moreover, today, he was defeated by Wutugu...

Everyone's face reads sighs, as if they are sighing about the fall of a hero, as well as the uncertain fate of the barbarians.

Ah Hui walked in with anger. Meng You looked at him with a question on his face, but waved his hand and asked everyone to withdraw.

Meng Huo, who had collapsed, sighed: "You are a little smarter at this time, but during the day... why don't you hide the news of my fall?"

Meng You blushed and couldn't speak. When it comes to scheming, he was far inferior to his two older brothers.

Ah Hui said hatred: "King, the Bamboo Wolf Clan secretly surrendered Wu Tu's bones!"

Meng You was shocked, but Meng Huo seemed to be indifferent: "I was defeated by Wu Tu Gu during the day, and the news of my illness came out. Naturally, the morale of the army was unstable. Alas, the Zhulang tribe has a small number and is originally a fence-bearer, so let him go."

Ah Hui murmured, "Hmph, he can't run away. Dong Tuna has led his army to chase them. This time, if the Bamboo Wolf Clan is not destroyed, others will forget the authority of the king."

Meng Huo was shocked and gasped: "Where Dong Tu go after him? Why don't you tell me?"

Ah Hui murmured: "He said that when the king is sick, it is his subordinate who should have the duty to share the worries of the king. What's wrong?"

Meng Huo sighed: "Although Dong Tu has been with me for a long time, he is not very influenced by the Han people. In order to please the Han people, he once offered up the gold and silver mines in his territory and was also granted by the Han people. This time he sent troops to follow me, although he had no intention of being unfair, but at this time my power declined, it is hard to guarantee that he would not shake it. Cough cough..." He coughed violently again, "...Retreat the army, let's leave overnight. Wu Tugu is willing to release me, but it shows that he still has barbarians in his heart and will not kill us all, let's go..."

With Meng Huo's retreat, the first rebellion in the South Central was quelled. Wu Tugu didn't care about the anger of Li Feng and others, and just followed Meng Huo with a small fuss, as if he was escorting Meng Huo, "escorting" her back to his lair. In this case, Meng Huo was honest and did not take the road to attack Yelang into Yizhou County.

However, as soon as the barbarian army retreated, a small dispute broke out among the Han army.

"Why? Why don't you want to attack Meng Huo? Your heart is towards us Ji Han, or towards these barbarians?" Li Feng jumped like thunder.

"You? Are you asking me?" Wu Tuguhun didn't care, "I am a general, and you are just a captain, Li Feng, don't you even understand the ranks and inferiors? If so, you don't have to follow me and go back to your Qilan! Also, whoever doubts my loyalty will ask him to leave, I am a barbarian, I only obey the secret orders of the Prime Minister. I am fully responsible for the military affairs of the Southern Central."

In the big tent, arrows were tense. At this moment, someone outside the tent shouted: "Come to the governor."

Everyone turned their attention to the tent door.

Xiang Chong Shiran walked in and bowed to Wu Tu Gu: "General Wu Tu, the last general will recover Yelang, submit the order to the general, and ask for the next battle plan."

Wu Tugu laughed: "Where is saying something to the governor? Although I am in full command, the Prime Minister doesn't know what the governor's military situation is. I think it will be the highest military commander of Yizhou in the future. I, a barbarian, will naturally be under the command of the governor." He said this, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his expression. Obviously, Li Feng's words stabbed him. Under the cover of his very powerful appearance, Wu Tugu was not that strong. In fact, the troubles of the barbarians' affairs still existed.

Xiang Chong was stunned, and looked around. Seeing the faces of Li Feng and others, he guessed the reason. He couldn't help but secretly complain that Li Feng and others were young and had no idea about it. He offended Wu Tugu, but said with a smile: "General, Ji Han has only one emperor, and you and I are subordinates of the emperor, so why both barbarians? Those who insist on this thought will be sorry for the emperor's trust and the Prime Minister's trust, and the barbarians and people. The general is not a common man, but if such words are used to show Xiang Chong, wouldn't it be that Xiang Chong would be too small?"

Wu Tugu's face was very good, and he grabbed Xiang Chong's hand. He was two feet tall. Xiang Chong was like a child in front of him. With this grasp, the giant hand unconsciously exerted force, which made Xiang Chong complain secretly. Wu Tugu said, "You are a good person - OK, I won't hold your subordinates responsible. Let's discuss how to resolve the siege of Yizhou County and rescue Zhang Yi, the prefect of Yizhou County."

Xiang Chong nodded. The contradictions between barbarians not only exist among the people, but also in the army and in the court. Human concepts cannot be changed in just a few words.

The wounds must heal slowly. However, with the full cooperation of Xiang Chong and Wu Tu Gu, the tense atmosphere that had just appeared in the army was eliminated.

A few days later, E Huan arrived. He was nine feet tall and used a square halberd, claiming that tens of thousands of people could not defeat him. Yang Feng also successfully convinced King Mulu, King Duosi and others to return to the team as the barbarians, Ji Han, and oppose Meng Huo. Then the barbarians in Yizhou County were defeated by Wutugu and others, and all the rebellions in the South Central were quelled.

At this time, Wutugu suddenly returned to the army and penetrated from the side and into Meng Huo's old nest. Not only Meng Huo did not expect this move, but even Xiang Chong and others did not expect it. They all thought that Wutugu let Meng Huo go because of his feelings for his fellow tribes, but he would have done this move. Since the matter in Nanzhong was settled, all the tribes that had rebelled from Meng Huo returned to their own tribes. Meng Huo suffered heavy losses since the rise of the army and lost his prestige. Suddenly, Wutugu, who was familiar with the situation in Nanzhong, was unable to resist and lost consecutive battles. Thirty days later, Meng Huo's tribe was compressed to the shore of Lushui, Ah Huinan was captured by E Huan, and Meng You were injured by Zhao Tong. Ji Han's army went around and Meng Huo had no way to escape.

Meng Huo asked Wu Tugu: "Do you have to want my head?"

Wu Tugu shook his head: "The Prime Minister said, I want to invite you to Chengdu to become an official."

Meng Huo came to inform: "Come and see me yourself."

When all the generals heard this, they shook their heads: "This is Meng Huo's plan, and they want to take this opportunity to kill the general."

Wu Tugu laughed: "Meng Huo killed me, he was not that stupid. Now he is betrayal of his relatives. In addition to surrender, is there any way to go?"

Wu Tugu went straight to Meng Huo camp alone and had a long chat with Meng Huo. The next day, Meng Huo rode the curly red rabbit and wearing a yellow silk symbolizing the bondage. Under the escort of Zhurong Meng You and others, he came to the Han army.

This hero who was once arrogant in the South Central said to Wu Tugu: "Zhuge Kongming dared to ask you to bring the barbarian army to attack me. I also want to see who he is. I will not be wronged when he dies at his hands."

Wu Tugu said, "Don't worry, aren't you angry that someone bullies us barbarians? The Prime Minister will not only not kill you, but will also let you take revenge with your own hands and make great contributions."

.........

When Kong Ming arrived in Chengdu, it was Wutugu's first victory. When the people learned that Kong Ming had returned, they went out of the city to greet him, and all the people were empty. Later, while Kong Ming controlled Wutugu's actions remotely, he ordered Li Hui to preside over the civil affairs of Nanzhong, resume production, and he was in Chengdu to appease the people.

With the arrival of Kongming, the people in Yizhou seemed to be more stable, but local people rumored that this was caused by the departure of the barbarian army. This further proves that it is inappropriate for the barbarians to be with the Han people.

Kong Ming was not in a hurry to explain and deal with it. He only looked through the information from various places at the headquarters, especially the information of larger clans in Yizhou, and went into the rice fields, mulberry fields, orange orchards, looms, and tenants of each tribe. He then sent some people to go everywhere.

Ma Liang didn't understand what Kong Ming was doing, but after all, Yizhou became stable with Kong Ming's arrival, which made him very happy.

Kong Ming told him that he should handle the civil affairs of Yizhou well and not miss the spring plowing. Everything will naturally be clear after the spring plowing.

Later, Kong Ming began to promote a new type of double-tip single-inted inclined loom in Yizhou. This loom was greatly improved than the original loom and the textile speed was greatly accelerated. Then he read out the imperial edict on the release of the Shujin official camp and allowed some big players to participate. Due to the reopening of the Silk Road, the big players in Shu had already had red eyes. A wisp of silk was transported to the Western Regions to be a ingot of gold. In order to increase the annual income, the court controlled all the industries that were rich and profitable. It was a great joy to open it at this time. The wealthy and powerful people from all over Yizhou heard that they came to their doors.

Kong Ming had no airs at all. He personally received every head of the family, comforted him with a word or listened with a smile, which made people lose their spring breeze and pointed out a road of sunshine to them.

Kong Ming easily reunited Yizhou, which was somewhat chaotic, and people forgot the war and fight that only happened, and began to devote their energy to the economy.

It seems that in the blink of an eye, thousands of new workshops were opened in Yizhou. The sound of textiles was everywhere. In contrast, a small thing that happened in April was less eye-catching at the beginning.

One day in April, more than 200 barbarians from fifteen counties sued the lawsuit to the Chengdu Governor's Office, suing the seven major tribes for looking down on the barbarians and illegally occupying more than a dozen other documents.

The governor Ma Liang handed the paper into Kong Ming's hand, and Kong Ming laughed: "I believe in you because I believe you, what are you afraid of?"

Ma Liang looked at Kong Ming's eyes that seemed to see through the hearts of the hearts in confusion and asked, "This matter is too strange. The barbarians came to the Han yamen to file a lawsuit. This is something that has never happened before. Moreover, these barbarians are in different places and the people they tell them. But at this time, was someone operating in secret?"

Kong Ming smiled: "Things that have never been before are not necessarily bad things. You don't have to worry about them, just report to the public to enforce the law."

Ma Liangsheng realized that he simply conducted a public trial. This trial was amazing and even led to a big case.

Because the barbarians sued the Han people, the people in Chengdu were very strange and went to watch. The barbarians were dressed in rags and looked haggard, and they seemed to have not eaten a full meal for a long time. The young man in the leader looked no different from the Han people, with quiet and elegant eyes, which aroused everyone's sympathy, and they felt that these barbarians were not so fierce. Then he talked about the locks in life, which was no different from ordinary people. He accused those wealthy families of how to bully them, how to seize their fields, how to bully their tribesmen, and how to occupy the women in the tribe. Every word was covered with blood and tears, which aroused the anger of everyone.

Ma Liang obeyed public opinion and conducted a thorough investigation. After investigation, all kinds of evidence appeared. The big families they sued not only bullied the barbarians, but also killed many Han people. Their backs were also a bit complicated. From the investigation, it was found that the chaos of the barbarians this time was related to them, and they seemed to have a close connection with Cao Wei. Ma Liang was a little confused about the last clues. They were from Shu, so how could they have something to do with Cao Wei? But it was as proof as a mountain.

With the further development of the case, a group of large families led by the Gao family and the Ma family of the Heroes in Zhu County surfaced.

Ma Liang went to Kong Ming: "Prime Minister, you are simply a god. How did you discover all this?"

Kong Ming said: "The good show is still behind."

Ma Liang was preparing to mobilize people to arrest him, but at this time, Gao Sheng, the patriarch of the two tribes of Qi County, and Ma Qin rebelled. Qi County is located in Dongguanghan County, only more than a hundred miles away from Chengdu. They summoned tens of thousands of people, captured the county government, and raised an army to the west to take Chengdu.

Kong Ming came to Chengdu without his men, and the troops in Yizhou were all in Nanzhong except for the Chen Damen in Jiangzhou. Ma Liang was shocked and asked Kong Ming what to do.

Kong Ming smiled and said, "I will know the consequences tomorrow."
