Wonderful times, what happened in Chapter 87 of Romance of the Three Kingdoms?

The 87th time: Recruit the Prime Minister of Nankou to promote the army and resist the capture of barbarians in the early days of Wang;

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.

Ma Su suggested that Kong Ming attack the city. 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. Later, 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 was defeated seven times before and after, and finally succumbed to Zhuge Liang's Shu army. Seeing that he was completely convinced and thought it could be used, Kong Ming appointed him to be in charge of the barbarian land. Meng Huo and others can't help but be deeply moved after hearing this. From then on, Kong Ming no longer worried about Na Man, but devoted himself to Wei.

Main characters:

1, Zhuge Liang

Zhuge Liang (18 1-234), a native of Yang Du County (present-day yinan county), was an outstanding politician and strategist in the Three Kingdoms period. In his early years, he lived in seclusion in Long Mu to avoid the chaos in Jingzhou, and waited for the opportunity.

In October of the 12th year of Jian 'an (2007), Liu Bei visited the Caotang and began to come out. Zhuge Liang talked to him about the situation in the world, and suggested that Liu Bei unite with Sun Quan to resist Cao Cao and revive the Han Dynasty with Yizhou as the base, and has been assisting Liu Bei ever since.

In the 13th year of Jian 'an, he joined forces with Sun Quan, defeated Cao Cao in Chibi, captured Jingzhou and Yizhou in the west, established Shu Han and became prime minister. After the death of Liu Bei in the first year of Jianxing (223), Liu Chan succeeded to the throne, and Zhuge Liang entrusted the orphans to him, making him the marquis of Wuxiang and presiding over the state affairs.

Zhuge Liang was in the Northern Expedition because he conquered Sun Wu in the east and Meng Huo in the south. He fought frequently with Cao Wei for years, and finally died in Wuzhangyuan.

2. Meng Huo

Meng Huo, the leader of the southern ethnic minorities in China during the Three Kingdoms period, rebelled against Shu Han in 225 AD, was captured by Zhuge Liang's army and surrendered, and never rebelled again.

Meng Huo's deeds are not recorded in the annals of the Three Kingdoms, but recorded in the history books of Han, Jin, Spring and Autumn and Xiangyang. The novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms tells the story of Zhuge Liang's seven attempts to capture Meng Huo.
