Brief introduction to Meng Huo's story of seven escapes

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wei, Shu and Wu were divided into three parts. Entrusted by Emperor Liu Bei of Zhaolie, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu, decided to make a Northern Expedition to revive the Han Dynasty. Just then, the southern barbarians of Shu attacked Shu again, and Zhuge Liang immediately ordered the army to go south. In the land of barbarians, the two sides fought Zhuge Liang in the first battle and captured Meng Huo, the leader of barbarians. However, Meng Huo was unconvinced, saying that victory and defeat were common with military strategists. Kongming learned that Xiao Yi ordered Meng Huo's release. After Meng Huo was released, Kong Ming called his lieutenant and deliberately said that Meng Huo blamed him for the rebellion. The lieutenant was very angry and shouted grievances, and Kong Ming put him back. When the lieutenant returned to the camp, he was always angry. One day, he invited Meng Huo to his account, tied him up and sent him to Han Ying. Kongming captured Meng Huo twice by stratagem, but Meng Huo still refused, and Zhuge Liang let him go again. This time, Han Ying's generals were puzzled. They think it's like a joke that everyone has come from afar to let the enemy go so easily. Kong Ming has his own reason: only by serving people with virtue can we truly serve people; Persuading others with strength will lead to future troubles. Meng Huo returned to the cave again, and his brother Meng You provided him with a plan. In the middle of the night, Meng You took people to Han Ying to surrender. Kong Ming saw through him at a glance, so he ordered a lot of wine for the soldiers of Nan Man, which made everyone brought by Meng You drunk. At this time, Meng Huo came to rob the camp as planned, only to be trapped and captured again. This time Meng Huo was still unwilling, and Kong Ming set the tiger free for the third time. Meng Huo returned to the camp and immediately set out to rectify the army and wait for the opportunity. One day, suddenly a spy came to report that Kong Ming was alone in front of the front line to inspect the terrain. Meng Huo was overjoyed and immediately took people to catch Zhuge Liang. Unexpectedly, this time he was trapped by Zhuge Liang and became a turtle in the jar for the fourth time. Kong knew that he would not be persuaded this time, so he let him go again. Meng Huo led the troops back to camp. Yang Feng, the general of his battalion, brought the cave master, who was arrested and released many times with Meng Huo and was very grateful to Zhuge Liang. In order to repay their kindness, he and his wife got Meng Huo drunk and took him to Han Ying. Meng Huo was arrested five times and still refused to accept it, shouting that it was framed by an insider. Kong Ming released him for the fifth time and told him to fight again. This time, Meng Huo went back and didn't dare to be careless. The Shu army marched south in a big way, and Kong Ming used a trick to sow discord and let Gao Ding kill Lv Yong and Zhu Bao, and his own head fell to the ground, so that the danger of Yongchang was solved. Wang Kang, the satrap, took Kongming into the city, and made Liu Heng present the barbarian map. Kong Ming was overjoyed and took Lu Kai as a guide into the wilderness. Just as he was about to send his troops, it was reported that the son of heaven sent messengers to kill the army, and it was Ma Su.

Kong Ming asked Ma Su how to quell the rebellion of barbarians. Ma Su said that barbarians are capricious and must be convinced. Kong Ming thinks this makes sense.

After Kong Ming defeated Marshal Nan Man's Three Holes, he set an ambush for Wang Ping and Guan Suo to lure the enemy. Cheating and defeat led Meng Huo, the king of the South, into the gorge, followed by Zhang Ben and Zhang Yi, and Wang Ping and Guan Suo returned to their horses. Meng Huo couldn't resist and was captured alive by Wei Yan.

Meng Huo refused to accept it and wanted to fight with Kong Ming again. If he gets caught again, he will only take it. Kong Ming sent him back.

Meng Huo camped in Lushui, and asked Marshal Two Caves to help him. He was afraid of being cheated by Kong Ming, so he kept fighting. When it got hot, he let the Shu army retreat on its own.

Sergeant Kong Mingling camped in the Woods for the summer. Ma Dailing led 3,000 soldiers to cross the river from Shahekou to the rear of the barbarian soldiers, cut off their food and grass, and recruited two marshals as insiders.

Meng Huo stuck to the Lujiang natural barrier, thinking it was foolproof, and drank for fun every day. Ma Dai, the general of Shu, crossed the Lushui River in the middle of the night, got the food and grass from Marshal Dong Tuna, and cut off Jiashan's grain route. Meng was furious and made the samurai beat Dong Tuna with a hundred sticks to avoid his death.

The resentful Dong Tunyu took advantage of Meng Huo's drunkenness to gather his men and tie Meng Huo to see Kong Ming. Meng Huo still refuses to accept it. After Zhuge Liang showed Meng Huo the grain and grass of the elite soldiers in Shu camp, Meng Huo still refused to accept it and let him go again.

Meng Huo told his younger brother Meng You that we all know the military situation of the Shu army. You took more than 100 soldiers to present a treasure to Kong Ming and killed him.

Kong Ming asked Ma Su if he knew Meng Huo's plot. Ma Su smiled and wrote the plot of Meng Huo on paper. Kong Ming laughed after reading it, and ordered people to drug the wine so that Meng You and other barbarians could eat and drink.

In the evening, Meng Huo rushed into the army with 30,000 soldiers to catch Kong Ming, and only when he entered the account did he know that he had been cheated. Meng You and other barbarians were drunk. Wei Yan, Wang Ping and Zhao Yun killed each other separately. The barbarians were defeated, and Meng Huo fled to Lushui alone.

Meng Huo was stopped by soldiers dressed as barbarians by Ma Dai in Lushui and escorted to see Kong Ming. Meng Huo said that his younger brother Meng You was drinking this time, but he was still unconvinced. So Kong Ming released him for the third time.

In revenge, Meng Huo borrowed 100,000 brand knives to fight against Shu soldiers. Meng Huo wore rhinoceros leather armor and rode a red-haired cow. Brand Ding Bing, naked, hideous, with long hair, came at Shu camp like a savage. Kong Ming ordered to close the gate of the village and wait for the opportunity.

When the strength of the savage soldiers weakened, Kong Ming was suddenly attacked. Meng Huo was defeated and fled to a tree. He saw Kongming sitting in a car and rushed to catch him. As a result, he fell into the pit and was caught instead. Meng Huo still refused, but Kong Ming let him go again.

Meng Huo hid in Longtu Cave for help. Yang Feng, the owner of Yinyedong, thanked Kongming for not killing him a few days ago. He caught Meng Huo in Longtu Cave and gave it to Kong Ming. Meng Huo refused, of course, and wanted to have another fight with Kongming in Yinkeng Cave, but Kongming let him go again.

Meng Huo gathered more than a thousand people in Yinkeng Cave, and asked his wife and brothers to ask King Muru, who could drive away poisonous snakes and beasts, to help him. When he was arranging a decisive battle with the Shu army, the Shu army had arrived at the cave. Meng Huo was frightened, and his wife Zhu Rongshi led the troops to battle.

Zhu Rongjia wounded Zhang Ben, a Shu general, with a flying knife, captured him alive, tripped Ma Zhong with a horse rope, and caught him together. The next day, Kong Ming cheated Zhu Rong's family again and replaced her with Zhang Ben and Ma Zhong.

Meng Huo wants King Mulu to go to war. Mulu rode a white elephant, chanted a spell in his mouth, and shook a bell in his hand, driving a group of poisonous snakes and beasts to the Shu army.

Kong Ming took out the wooden behemoth that had been prepared, breathed fire in his mouth and smoked in his nose, which scared off the ferocious monster and occupied Meng Huo's silver cave.

The next day, Zhuge Liang was about to divide his forces to capture Meng Huo, but suddenly he reported that Meng Huo's brother-in-law had taken Meng Huo to Kongmingzhai to surrender. Knowing that it was a fake surrender, Kong Ming ordered all the weapons to be taken away and found everyone's weapons. Meng Huo refused, saying that if he could be captured seven times, he would really be convinced. Kong Ming then let him go again.

Meng Huo invited the Ukrainian Fu Jia army to attack Kong Ming. Kongming burned countless barbarians with tanker powder, and Meng Huo was captured for the seventh time before he really surrendered.

Seeing that the ground was flat, Kong Ming sent his troops back to China. When we arrived in Lushui, it was stormy and rainy, and the soldiers and horses could not cross the river. The local natives said it was a ghost. Kongming sacrificed to the dead by the Lushui River and burst into tears. Lushui became calm and the army could cross the river and return.

Liu Chan, the late ruler, went three miles out of the city to meet them. Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang were neck and neck, and gave a banquet in honor of the three armed forces. Since then, more than 300 neighboring countries have paid tribute to Shu every year.
