Barbarian invasion refers to Zhuge Liang's seven capture of Meng Huo. The seventh capture of Meng Huo was when Zhuge Liang sent troops south during the Three Kingdoms period. He captured the local leader Meng Huo seven times and released him seven times. For the seventh time, Meng Huo was captured alive in Meng Huo City, so that he really surrendered and was no longer an enemy. Metaphor is to persuade the other side with strategy. It is mentioned in Pei Songzhi's Notes on the History of the Three Kingdoms and the Spring and Autumn Annals of the Han, Jin and Qing Dynasties that The Romance of the Three Kingdoms has been extensively adapted and fabricated. Zhuge Liang's psychological warfare strategy against Meng Huo, a powerful southern leader, aims to completely eliminate the rebellious psychology of southern minorities. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, Nanzhong has been under the jurisdiction of Yizhou, which is divided into four administrative regions: Yizhou County (Jianning County), Zhang Ke County, Maodi County and Yongchang County.
