Three Kingdoms Swept the World II

Chapter 1116 Zhuge Slays Mengda With Tears

Nanshan in the southwestern part of Hanzhong, followed by Jiange, is actually the center of the Shu army in Hanzhong.

Zhuge Liang, who was sitting here, heard that there was something wrong with Tiandang Mountain, and urgently ordered Zhang Ren to rescue him.

"Report..., military adviser, General Zhang Ren sent news that he went to Tiandang several times, but was stopped by Qin Junwen Chou Xu Huang. General Zhang Ren was afraid that something would happen to Dingjun Mountain, so he didn't dare to venture in. Now he has returned to Dingjun Mountain. Specially inform the military division to make a decision."

Zhuge Liang sat down in a daze, and the generals were frightened.

At this time, someone came to report that Meng Da, Wang Wei and Huo Jun were coming.

"How many soldiers and horses came back?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"Only three generals have come back." The little principal said timidly.

Zhuge Liang's face changed, and he said, "Bring Wang Wei to see me first."

Fazheng was waiting for the Shu general, so he had a bad feeling.

After a while, Wang Wei came in and knelt down with a plop, "The last general is guilty."

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said angrily, "I sent you to reinforce Meng Da to defend Tiandang Mountain. Why didn't you stop Meng Da from going down the mountain?"

Wang Wei said: "The military adviser does not know. The last general also persuaded General Meng Da, but General Meng Da refused to listen and insisted on going down the mountain to fight Huang Zhong. The last general has no right to mobilize General Meng Da's troops. The troops and horses of our headquarters are guarding the mountain. Who knew that General Meng Da won first and then lost, and the last general had to rescue him when he heard of the defeat, but who knew that he was ambushed by Huang Zhong."

Zhuge Liang said with a sneer: "What wins first and then loses is actually old Huang Zhong's trick to lure the enemy in defeat. Meng Da forgets everything, and that's why he lost."

After a while, Zhuge Liang called Huo Jun in again for questioning.

Huo Jun recounted his crime, saying: "When I heard that General Wang Wei and General Meng Da were besieged and went down the mountain to rescue them, I was ambushed by Ma Chao. Zhang Liao attacked Tiandang Mountain..."

Only then did Zhuge Liang call Meng Da in.

Meng Da knelt in front of the tent, seeing that he was waiting for the general of Shu, he lowered his head and sighed, "Master, the last general lost his defense of Tiandang Mountain. His crime is unforgivable. Please punish him, Master."

Zhuge Liang made repeated orders before, but he couldn't stick to it, but Li Yan and Meng Da tried their best, but they were defeated one after another, losing the gate of Yangping Pass and the key pass of Tiandang Mountain.It can be said that they violated military orders one after another and did not listen to Zhuge Liang's words at all.

As a commander, other things can be tolerated, but his subordinates don't obey orders, which is simply unbearable. How can he lead troops after he endures it?

"Meng Da, are you guilty?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"I will be convicted at the end."

Zhuge Liang got up, waved his feather fan, and said angrily: "You are well-read military books, and you are a front-line general. I ordered you to guard Tiandang Mountain, and I have sent you many orders to stick to Tiandang Mountain. You turned a deaf ear and refused to listen to my military orders. Even the loss of soldiers and generals, and the loss of important passes are all your fault."

"If the military commander doesn't understand the discipline of the army today, how can he serve the people? Since you already know your guilt, don't blame the military commander for being ruthless. After you die, your family will be given a monthly salary."

"Come on, pull out the gate and behead for public display!"

With a shout from Zhuge Liang, the left and right guards came out together, and when they went up, they suppressed Meng Da.

Meng Da's head was directly pressed to the ground, and he was shocked. He didn't expect that it would be the crime of beheading.

Meng Da shouted: "The crime of the last general is not enough to die. Wang Wei, Huo Jun and others are less guilty. Why do they only blame me? Is it because I am from Shu?"

Zhuge Liang came from Jingzhou, and Wang Wei and Huo Jun both came from Jingzhou.

Most of the tents are Shu generals, and their faces change when they hear the words.

Zhuge Liang's complexion also changed drastically, and he felt that if he didn't deal with it well, he might not be able to convince the crowd even more, so he waved back the guards and said, "Meng Da, you have led the army for many years, why do you say that you are guilty of not obeying the military order?"

Meng Da was flustered for a while, and said, "Decision is made."

Zhuge Liang snorted coldly, "What else do you have to say? You have committed a capital crime, and when the military discipline is clear, you are still biting your tongue and making noise here to stir up the morale of the army. It is a heinous crime."

Meng Da was beheaded immediately, and at this moment to save himself, his heart moved, and he said anxiously: "The military adviser said to stick to it, and the last general will of course follow his orders. However, since the enemy came outside the camp, I, as a front-line general, took the opportunity to respond and went out to meet the enemy. Why not? If it is only in the stronghold, allowing the enemy to attack at will, in fact, holding your head and allowing people to beat you, how can it last long? Since I am no match and defeated, I am indeed incompetent, but the military adviser said that I disobeyed the military order that I stood firm. Dissatisfied."

Zhuge Liang sneered and said, "What you said makes sense."

Meng Da heaved a sigh of relief, but Zhuge Liang said again: "As long as you go out of the stronghold to fight against the incoming enemy, no matter whether you win or lose, I don't blame you. However, you have traveled more than [-] miles away, and you have all arrived outside Yangping Pass. If you give up, you should stick to it." What else do you have to say?"

"This..." Meng Da was speechless.

"Come on, push it out and cut it for me." Zhuge Liang waved his fan and said.

Meng Da panicked, unable to save himself, he looked all over the generals in Shu.

Fazheng walked out quickly, and said sadly, "General Meng has made great achievements in welcoming the lord into Shu."

So all the generals of the Shu army came to intercede.

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan, furious in his heart. If he retreats now, he will not be able to control the soldiers of Shu in the future. He said forcefully: "The military discipline is like a mountain, how can it be tampered with? Anyone who begs for mercy will be guilty of the same crime as Meng Da."

Fazheng and the others were chilled for a while, and looked at Meng Da and shook their heads helplessly.

At this moment, Meng Da is not afraid anymore.He welcomed Liu Bei into Shu, but in the end he ended up like this, and his heart was full of merciless and unjust anger towards Zhuge Liang.He stood up, raised his eyebrows coldly, and said: "Since the military division is so heartless, I, Meng Da, will not say anything more."

Meng Da happened to think of something, and suddenly felt inexplicable grief, and said: "But...tomorrow is the ancestor's memorial day. Although I, Meng Da, have not made any contribution, I have done some things. , please let me worship my ancestors and go on the road."

It's hard for Zhuge Liang to say anything more, everyone has admitted to death, and if he wants to pay homage to his ancestors on the festival day, he can't be too extreme, so he agrees.

Meng Da walked out with his head held high, and laughed three times, "I was blind in the past, but I will die today."

In the tent, Wang Wei, Huo Jun and others from the Jingzhou department are better.Including Fazheng, all the generals in Shuzhong looked cold.

For a while, the big tent was quiet, like a mourning hall for a family without descendants.

Zhuge Liang was taken aback, he couldn't be 'no offspring'.

After a while, the big tent became even more terrifyingly quiet. Suddenly, Zhuge Liang burst into tears.

"Woooooo..."

Everyone was shocked, especially the people from Shu. What's the matter? You killed Meng Da in Sichuan. You guys in Jingzhou are fine. Meng Da hasn't cried yet. Why are you crying?
Huo Jun hurriedly asked: "Why is the military commander crying?"

Zhuge Liang cried very sadly, and said with tears: "Although the military discipline is as high as a mountain, the legal principles are nothing more than human feelings. However, my Western Shu has reached a critical moment, and the Han Dynasty has reached a critical critical moment. It is not my wish to kill Mengda." I hope all the generals can put the overall situation first and work together to bless me Shu Han."

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he hugged his head and cried loudly. His sorrow was really sad for those who heard it.

Fazheng and the others suddenly realized that, at this moment, Zhuge Liang, as the commander in chief, had no choice but to kill Mengda because of his duty.That's why it's tough to kill Mengda.This great burden is on the military division's shoulders, and they, not only did not understand the military division, but also blamed the military division in their hearts.

Zhuge Liang cried so sadly, and everyone remembered that when the Lord Liu Huangshu came out, he was crying sadly. They were moved by Zhuge Liang, and they all said: "How can we not know the difficulties of the military division, so we should work together to help Shu Han."

Later generations said about this matter: "The crime of losing the defense of the sky is not light, and it is worth mentioning that Meng Da was talking about soldiers in vain."Yuanmen beheaded and strictly enforced the military law, Zhuge wiped away his tears and touched the hearts of all.
