Mi Han

Zhuge Liang's status is unusual, he is on behalf of the emperor to march south, so the appointment he said can be regarded as an imperial decree.

Hearing that Zhuge Liang was going to appoint himself as Zhonglang General, Deng Ai couldn't help but beam with joy.

Since the chaos of the world, military positions have become more and more complicated, but the basic promotion path still follows the standards of the Han Dynasty.

In the military system of the Han Dynasty, not to mention the low-level officers, the middle-level officers start from the school lieutenant, and then in order, they are Zhonglang General, Miscellaneous General, Famous General, and finally the Heavy General.

It can be said that Deng Ai's original position as a school lieutenant was the lowest position among middle-level officers.

Now that Zhuge Liang is going to appoint Deng Ai as General Zhonglang, this is definitely a big promotion for Deng Ai, how can Deng Ai not be happy?
You must know that among Mi Yang's many subordinates, except for Meng Da, no one has obtained the military rank above Zhonglang.

Deng Ai quickly bowed to Zhuge Liang gratefully: "Thank you, Prime Minister."

At this moment Deng Ai felt that his hard work yesterday was not in vain.

Facing Deng Ai's thanks, Zhuge Liang looked at the wound on Deng Ai's left arm and smiled faintly.

He just gave Deng Ai what he deserved.

After rewarding Deng Ai, Zhuge Liang asked Deng Ai, "Have you ever found the trace of Shi Hui?"

Shi Hui might also have lost his life in last night's big camp tsunami.

But to die is to see the corpse, if Shi Hui really died in the chaos last night, then Deng Ai would bring Shi Hui's body to see him just now.

And since Deng Aiwei brought Shi Hui's body, it means that he probably took advantage of the chaos and escaped last night.

Although after the chaos last night, tens of thousands of Jiaozhou soldiers have been defeated, and Zhuge Liang's strategic goal has been achieved.

But if Shi Hui, who is the culprit, can also be captured, that would be a great thing.

Facing Zhuge Liang's question, Deng Ai's face showed a thoughtful look.

The reason why he went deep into the camp just now was to find out what happened to Shi Hui. Although he didn't see Shi Hui's body, after careful inquiry, he probably figured out Shi Hui's possible whereabouts.

"According to what Jiangzu said, they saw Shi Hui fleeing outside the camp under the protection of his personal guards last night.

Ax Mountain is surrounded by cliffs on all sides, and the only way out on the front is guarded by troops sent by Fu Qian. Even if Shi Hui escaped by chance during the chaos last night, Ai Lian must have failed to escape down the mountain now.

Ai deduced that Shi Hui must be hiding somewhere in the forest of Fushan Mountain, lingering on his last breath, waiting for our army to retreat before escaping. "

Deng Ai's analysis made Zhuge Liang nodded.

Shi Hui didn't know about the hidden mountain road, so Deng Ai's deduction made sense.

And Deng Ai saw that Zhuge Liang seemed to be quite interested in Shi Hui, so he offered Zhuge Liang a plan:
"It's the middle of winter and the trees are dry and flammable.

If the prime minister wanted to find out the whereabouts of Shi Hui and others, he might as well send someone to set fire to the mountain. After the fire spread, if Shi Hui didn't want to die, he could only obediently escape from the mountain forest.

At that time, it will not be difficult to capture the corporal badge. "

Deng Ai thought his strategy was very good, but Zhuge Liang shook his head after hearing his strategy.

"The people of Yelang have always lived on the prey in the mountains. If I set fire to the mountain, I might be able to capture the badge of the soldiers, but after the fire spread, it would undoubtedly cut off the livelihood of the people of Yelang.

I will not do anything to lose the hearts of the people of Yelang because of the downfall of a thief.

What's more, our army should immediately turn to the east and defeat Zhu Bao when he didn't know about Shi Hui's defeat.

After Zhu Bao's defeat, the chaos in Nanzhong will resolve itself. This is the top priority of our army.

There is no need to be a Shihui alone, and let our army miss the opportunity. "

Setting fire to the mountain sounds simple, but it is not an easy task to do it - there are also many Han troops on the mountain at the moment.

Therefore, before setting fire to the mountain, it is necessary to command the Han army to retreat down the mountain one after another. Moreover, no matter how dry the trees are, such a large mountain cannot be burned in a day or two.

Once the matter of setting fire to the mountain is done, it will inevitably delay the Han army a lot of time, and it will affect the hearts of the people, which is unacceptable to Zhuge Liang.

After listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Deng Ai comprehended not to speak again.

After temporarily letting go of the whereabouts of the Shi Hui, Zhuge Liang immediately ordered the entire army to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible.

Tens of miles to the east, there is still an enemy army waiting for the Han army to defeat it.

In the early morning of the second day, after cleaning the battlefield, the Han army, led by Zhuge Liang, made a detour from Fushan to the back of Zhu Bao's camp.

Zhu Bao's camp is not far from Fushan.

However, due to the tragedy of Ying Xiao and the fact that the main roads of Fushan were all controlled by the Han army, basically no surviving Jiaozhou soldiers fled to Zhu Bao's camp to report.

When the Han army arrived behind Zhu Bao's camp, Zhu Bao didn't know that the Shihui army was almost wiped out.

Because of this, it is of course impossible for Zhu Bao to send heavy troops to guard the back of his camp. The defense force behind Zhu Bao's camp can be called very weak.

Even because the Han army couldn't avoid the battle for several days, Zhu Bao's army and Shi Hui's army made the same mistake-slack in military spirit.

Under such circumstances, after tens of thousands of Han troops arrived behind Zhu Bao's camp, under the leadership of the fierce general Zhao Yun, they easily raided into Zhu Bao's camp.

It may be because they knew that this battle was the last big battle in the Southern Expedition, so the whole Han army worked very hard to kill the enemy.

If you don't work hard, you won't get any credit.

One side is the rebel army with slack morale and poor training, and the other side is the morale-like, experienced Han army. When the two armies meet in the camp, the result is already doomed.

Under the continuous onslaught of the Han army, Zhu Bao's rebel army retreated steadily, with heavy casualties.

After seeing that the general situation was gone, problems also appeared inside Zhu Bao's army.

Zhu Bao was a Han Chinese, and most of the generals he appointed were also Han Chinese.

Since they are all Han Chinese, the victory of the Han army is already doomed, so why do Zhu Bao's generals still work for him?
Zhuge Liang's political slogan of "only punish the chief evil" in Yuexi County was known to most of Zhu Bao's generals.

In order to survive, some generals began to lead their troops and horses to cooperate with the Han army to attack the army that was still loyal to Zhu Bao.

Under the internal and external attacks, Zhu Bao's army, which was about to collapse, was defeated in an instant.

Zhu Bao, the chief culprit, was killed by his subordinates in the rebellious army before he even had time to escape from the camp.

After hearing that Zhu Bao had conferred the title, Zhuge Liang ordered the Han army to recruit the remaining rebels.

Seeing that Zhu Bao was dead, most of the rebels threw away their helmets and armor and begged the Han army to surrender.

When the war progressed to this point, it represented that the Han army successfully quelled the rebellion in Cang County.

In just a few days, under the command of Zhuge Liang, the Han army not only reversed the dangerous situation of being surrounded on three sides, but also successfully defeated Shi Hui and Zhu Bao's total of nearly [-] troops.

All of a sudden, the counter-insurgency situation in Nanzhong became extremely clear.

After recruiting Zhu Bao's rebel army, Zhuge Liang turned his attention to the west again-that was the place where Yong Kai's three thousand troops were stationed.

As long as Yong Kai's [-] troops can be defeated, then Yizhou County will be reincorporated into the territory of the Han Dynasty, and at that time, it will be time for Zhuge Liang to raise his troops to the north!

Shi Hui, Yu Fan and Sun Huan hid in the forest on Mount Fu for several days.

In the past few days, they can only hunt for a living in the mountains and forests, and they are so embarrassed.

But no matter how embarrassing they were, Shi Hui and the others still did not dare to rush out of the forest before the Han army completely retreated.

Fortunately, Zhuge Liang didn't insist on asking Sona Shihui and others, otherwise I'm afraid they would have already fallen into the hands of the Han army.

A few days later, after the Han army had left Fushan, the three Shihui walked out of the forest in fear.

Today, among the tens of thousands of Jiaozhou soldiers who died or surrendered, there are only these three left.

How sad!

Even the guards who escaped that night to protect Shi Hui died in the camp because of protecting Shi Hui.

When the three of Shi Hui walked out of the forest, they couldn't help looking at each other and weeping when they felt that they had survived the catastrophe.

No one knows how the three of them spent the past few days. If it weren't for their strong belief in survival, the three of them might not have survived today.

After walking out of the mountains, Yu Fan immediately suggested that Shi Hui go to Zhu Bao.

Zhu Bao and Jiaozhou have always been allies. Looking at this relationship, Zhu Bao will definitely help Shi Hui.

And without Zhu Bao's help, how could they get out of this dangerous Nanzhong and return to Jiaozhou with the strength of the three of them alone?
Shi Hui also agreed with Yu Fan's suggestion.

So without hesitation, he immediately led Yu Fan and Sun Huan towards Zhu Bao's camp.

But when the three of Shi Hui rushed to a hillside outside Zhu Bao's camp, the scene in their eyes almost scared them to death.

The original neat camp had long since disappeared, leaving only a mess.

This scene immediately made Shi Hui realize a serious fact - Zhu Bao's army was probably defeated by the Han army.

Otherwise, it would not be enough to explain the scene they saw before their eyes.

After realizing this, the three weak Shi Hui almost fainted out of breath.

It doesn't matter whether Zhu Bao is dead or alive, and it doesn't matter what impact the defeat of Zhu Bao's army will have on the current situation in Nanzhong.

The most important thing now is that it will be difficult for them to get Zhu Bao's rescue!

And if they didn't have Zhu Bao's rescue, how would they return to Jiaozhou?

Without the protection of the army, they may perish at any time in the land of Nanzhong, which is full of wild beasts and miasma.

In desperation, Shi Hui proposed to seek asylum from Yong Kai.

Yong Kai also had an unclear relationship with Jiaozhou before.

But Shi Hui's suggestion was flatly rejected by Yu Fan.

"Within a few days, [-] troops were defeated by the Han army. Could Yong Kai's [-] troops be spared?"

In the tone of Yu Fan's rhetorical question, he was actually explaining a simple truth.

After Zhuge Liang led his army to defeat Zhu Bao's army, his next target must be Yong Kai's army.

However, Yong Kai only had [-] soldiers and horses. I am afraid that Zhuge Liang would not need to attack by force. As long as tens of thousands of Han troops stood outside the camp, Yong Kai would have to flee back to Yizhou County in fright.

When this truth was broken by Yu Fan, Shi Hui fell to the ground as if all his strength had been taken away from him.

While falling to the ground, Shi Hui couldn't help murmuring: "Is it true that the sky is going to kill me?"

What Shi Hui didn't know was that when he was whispering, Yu Fan's eyes behind him suddenly changed.

The fact that the sky wants the emblem of the dead man does not mean that the sky wants to kill him and Sun Huan.

Thinking of Shi Hui's coercion to him before, and thinking of Ye Shi Hui's ugly face of wanting to leave him alone to run for his life, a thought quietly surfaced in Yu Fan's mind.

Yu Fan winked at Sun Huan who was beside him.

Sun Huan was like Shi Hui at first, feeling that life was hopeless, but after seeing Yu Fan's wink, Sun Huan quickly put his ear to Yu Fan's mouth.

Following Yu Fan's lips moving, Sun Huan's face became dark and unclear.

But soon Sun Huan had a decision in his heart.

Sun Huan slowly stood up from behind Shi Hui, and then quietly came behind Shi Hui.

When Sun Huan got closer, the sound of his walking startled Shi Hui.

But before Shi Hui could react, Sun Huan quickly drew out the long sword from his waist and slashed at Shi Hui's neck.

A cold light flashed, and Shi Hui's head was completely separated from his body. Due to the speed with which Sun Huan swung his sword, Shi Hui didn't even have time to let out a cry of pain.

When Shi Hui's head fell to the ground, Yu Fan stood up and picked up Shi Hui's head, angrily scolded: "You dog thief, can you still do evil!"

Then Sun Huan quickly put away his long sword and came to Yu Fan's side.

The life-saving method Yu Fan came up with was also very simple.

Right now, it is impossible for the three of them to return to Jiaozhou safely, but what if there are only two left?

It was Shi Hui who led the army to confront Zhuge Liang before, so what's the matter with Yu Fan and Sun Huan?

It is true that he and Sun Huan entered Nanzhong with Shi Hui, of course, with intentions, but Zhuge Liang didn't know this.

As long as he goes to the Han army camp with Shi Hui's head in his hand, coupled with his three-inch tongue, Zhuge Liang believes that he and Sun Huan entered Nanzhong under the coercion of Shi Hui, then Zhuge Liang may send troops to escort them They returned to Jiangdong.

After all, now on the bright side, their lord Sun Quan is still the Taiwei of the Han Dynasty, and he and Sun Huan are also considered Han officials.

Even if Zhuge Liang didn't believe his words, the worst result would be to be a prisoner of the Han army.

It's not that I didn't do it.

As long as one life can be saved, it is nothing.

After looking at Sun Huan, Yu Fan held Shi Hui's head, and Sun Huan quickly rushed towards the Han army's camp.

After defeating Zhu Bao's rebel army, the Han army, led by Zhuge Liang, rushed towards the direction where the Yongkai army was stationed after a short rest.

But what Zhuge Liang didn't expect was that when he led his army outside Yong Kai's camp, what he saw was an empty camp.

Presumably Yong Kai got the news in advance and fled back to Yizhou County decisively in order to save his life.

Zhuge Liang did not intend to let Yong Kai go. Yong Kai can be regarded as the biggest culprit in the Nanzhong Rebellion. If he is not dead, Nanzhong will not be stable.

Zhuge Liang immediately assigned [-] Han troops to Ma Zhong's hands, and asked him to lead the army to pursue Yong Kai's rebels.

And Zhuge Liang led the remaining Han army back to the camp, thinking about going to the government office of Cang County in a few days to stabilize the situation in Cang County.

But before Zhuge Liang set off, he got a news that surprised him.

"Someone claims to be a loyal minister of Jiangdong, holding the head of a soldier's badge and begging to see him!"

Jiangdong still has loyal ministers?
