Chapter 87: The Prime Minister mobilized a large army to conquer the southern invaders, and resisted the heavenly troops. The Barbarian King was first taken over:
The Prime Minister of Shu, Zhuge Liang, received the edict of Emperor Zhaolie Liu Bei to leave the orphans, and determined to expedition to the north in order to revitalize the Han Dynasty. . At this time, the southern barbarians from the south of Shu invaded Shu again, and Zhuge Liang immediately ordered troops to march south.
Ma Di suggested that Kong Ming should attack the heart first and attack the city second. When they arrived at the land of the Southern Barbarians, Zhuge Liang won a complete victory in the first battle between the two sides and captured the leader of the Southern Barbarians, Meng Huo. But Meng Huo was not convinced, saying that victory and defeat were commonplace military affairs.
Kong Ming learned that Yixiao ordered Meng Huo to be released. Later, after Kongming defeated the Nanman Marshal Sandong, he laid an ambush and asked Wang Ping and Guan Suo to lure the enemy. The two pretended to be defeated and led the Southern Barbarian king Meng Huo into the canyon. They were then pursued by Zhang Yi and Zhang Yi, while Wang Ping and Guan Suo returned to attack.
Meng Huo could not resist and was captured alive by Wei Yan. Meng Huo was defeated seven times, and finally he was willing to succumb to Zhuge Liang. Kong Ming, the Shu army led by Zhuge Liang, saw that he was convinced and felt that he could be used, so he appointed him to take charge of the southern barbarians. Meng Huo and others couldn't help being deeply moved after hearing this. From then on, Kong Ming no longer worried about the Nanman and concentrated on dealing with Wei.

Zhuge Liang devoted himself to taking care of his son, and was named the Marquis of Wuxiang to preside over the government.
Zhuge Liang aimed at the Northern Expedition, so he connected with Sun Wu in the east and harvested Menghuo in the south. He went on many expeditions and fought with Cao Wei, and finally died of illness in Wuzhangyuan.
