Chapter 423: Two Captures and Two Copies: The Best Strategy of the World(1/2)
Because his heart was full of panic, Yong Kai ran away very fast.
Soon after, Yong Kai and several of his relatives casually jumped across the deep forest and arrived at a vast open space.
In this open space, thousands of elite soldiers are waiting to be ready.
These thousands of elite soldiers are Yong Kai's direct troops, and the reason why Yong Kai placed his direct troops here was so that after the camp roar occurred in the Han army's camp, he could take the opportunity to lead his army to defeat the Han army's camp in one fell swoop.
Take it.
But what originally seemed to Yong Kai to be a flawless plan, now that he learned that the Han army had been prepared, everything became so ridiculous.
Seeing Yong Kai's figure appearing, the Yong Kai people leading thousands of rebels immediately came forward to greet them.
The Yongkai people originally thought that Yongkai came to give him the order to attack in person, but before he could even say his question, he received a stern look from Yongkai.
Under the shock of the stern eyes, the Yongkai people naturally did not dare to ask without permission.
After returning to the formation of his own army, Yong Kai's restless heart calmed down a little.
Yong Kai did not explain anything to his tribesmen, and he immediately issued an order to withdraw his troops.
Meng Huo was hopeless, and now Yong Kai was thinking about how to preserve his foundation of life in this world.
Who knows whether Zhuge Liang, the unpredictable man, will take advantage of his victory to pursue him.
Under the illumination of the bright moon hanging high in the sky, thousands of rebels were seen, led by a general, retreating towards the rear in a panic like him.
The messy and disorderly look made people laugh.
This is General Yong who looked down on Zhuge Liang.
...
When Yong Kai led his rebels back to the camp, Meng Huo, who was tied up by Wuhua Da, was being escorted by the Han army and knelt down in front of Zhuge Liang.
This scene made the Han generals around Zhuge Liang feel like they had seen each other before.
Zhuge Liang looked at Meng Huo who was kneeling in front of him and said nothing for a moment.
While Zhuge Liang was silent, Meng Huo did not dare to make a sound - he knew that his life was now in Zhuge Liang's hands.
But the long silence made Meng Huo's uneasiness even stronger.
In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore because he was not good at cultivating qi. He raised his head slightly and looked at Zhuge Liang, who was sitting in front of him, and said in a loud voice:
"Huo Jin was harmed by his friends. Unfortunately, he was captured by the Prime Minister. He wanted to kill or behead him, leaving it up to the Prime Minister's decision.
I just want to ask for something, I hope the prime minister can let go of my three thousand sons."
After hearing Meng Huo's words, all the men in the queue felt quite amused.
When Meng Huo was captured for the first time, he said it was because of family ties.
After he was captured this time, he said that he was mistaken by his friends.
Anyway, no matter what, he was captured not because his skills were inferior to others.
However, Meng Huo's words also reflect his character trait of loving nurses and soldiers.
The character traits displayed by Meng Huo also made some Han people in the list have a lot of changes in their view of him as a barbarian king.
Compared with the different thoughts in the hearts of the Han generals, Zhuge Liang already made a decision in his mind after listening to Meng Huo's words.
Zhuge Liang asked Meng Huo loudly: "From your words, it seems that you are not convinced by my second capture?"
When Zhuge Liang asked about this, Meng Huo nodded and admitted.
"I was captured by mistake tonight. It was not a crime of war."
The matter-of-fact look on Meng Huo's face when he said this made all the generals feel very ridiculous.
But Zhuge Liang didn't laugh. He just stared at Meng Huo and asked him, "What will you do if I release you again?"
When Zhuge Liang said these words, not only Meng Huo widened his bell-like eyes in surprise, but also all the generals also had puzzled looks on their faces.
Several Han generals had already tried to dissuade Zhuge Liang, thinking about his background.
However, their actions were stopped by Zhuge Liang gently waving his hand.
After stopping the generals' attempts to dissuade him, Zhuge Liang looked at Meng Huo calmly, trying to get his answer from his mouth.
Under Zhuge Liang's gaze, Meng Huo, who had a forthright temperament, was greatly surprised and quickly gave his answer: "We will assemble our troops and fight with the prime minister again."
With Meng Huo's wisdom, it was really difficult for him to understand why Zhuge Liang wanted to let him go again.
However, given his character, he would not deliberately deceive Zhuge Liang.
What Meng Huo didn't know was that although he was captured by Zhuge Liang twice, he had gradually developed respect for Zhuge Liang in his heart.
After hearing Meng Huo's reasonable answer, a smile appeared on Zhuge Liang's face.
"You are sincere."
After saying this, Zhuge Liang waved his hand to the soldiers on the side to untie Meng Huo.
It can be seen from his behavior that when he said that he would release Meng Huo again, he was definitely not talking nonsense.
When the Han army untied Meng Huo, the confusion in the eyes of the Han generals almost overflowed from their eyes, and Meng Huo was not much better.
After his body regained freedom, his whole mind was confused.
Two captures and two verticals, let alone he has never fought or heard of such a battle.
After asking his soldiers to untie Meng Huo, Zhuge Liang seemed to feel that this was not enough to show his benevolence, so he ordered Yang Yi beside him:
"After sending Meng Huo out of the camp, let his three thousand sons go as well."
Zhuge Liang's order made Yang Yi and other Han generals even more dissatisfied.
Even if Zhuge Liang had deep and unknown considerations in releasing Meng Huo, what was his purpose in releasing the three thousand Yi troops now?
One Meng Huo may not be something to be afraid of, but three thousand Yi troops are a military force that is enough to give the Han army a headache.
With deep confusion in their hearts, the generals all looked at Zhao Yun.
Currently in the Southern Expedition Army, Zhao Yun is the highest-ranking general besides Zhuge Liang and Yu Jin.
Although Yu Jin's status was high, his status was quite sensitive, so only Zhao Yun could persuade Zhuge Liang at this time.
But in the face of the pleading glances from the generals, Zhao Yun, who was over fifty years old, seemed not to see it.
It's not that Zhao Yun's eyes are dim, it's just that Zhao Yun instinctively doesn't want to pay attention to those glances.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The generals wanted to dissuade Zhuge Liang, but they just couldn't understand Zhuge Liang's actions. To be honest, Zhao Yun couldn't understand either.
But the difference between Zhao Yun and other generals is that as a general of Liu Bei Yuan, he had seen Zhuge Liang's magic a long time ago.
For example, "Longzhong Dui" is now known to the world.
When Zhuge Liang first explained the strategic concept of "Longzhong Dui" to Liu Bei, almost everyone except Liu Bei thought that Zhuge Liang was wishful thinking and boasting.
But Liu Bei's subsequent development caused all those who mocked Zhuge Liang to get slapped in the face.
Having had this experience, Zhao Yun understands one truth, that is, he does not need to see Zhuge Liang's arrangements, he only needs to obey them.
After all, the older he gets, the more important his face is, and he doesn't want to be slapped in the face again.
Even if Zhao Yun did not dissuade him from his background, many Han generals were very confused about Zhuge Liang's plan to release Meng Huo. However, facing Zhuge Liang who had already established prestige in the Han army, none of the Han generals dared to do so.
Come out to dissuade.
After Zhuge Liang gave the order to Yang Yi, he said to Meng Huo: "It's only three things. Now I have done my utmost to be benevolent and righteous by capturing you twice."
If you are captured by me next time and still refuse to surrender, it will definitely be difficult for you to leave our camp alive."
Zhuge Liang's words revealed a cautious tone.
After Meng Huo heard Zhuge Liang's words, a look of dissatisfaction appeared on his face.
This prime minister's moral character is as heavy as a mountain, but he is too underestimated.
Capturing him twice was already a great shame and humiliation, how could he capture him a third time?
If he can really be captured by Zhuge Liang for a third time, he will kowtow to Zhuge Liang and surrender without Zhuge Liang's words, and will never rebel again.
Feeling that he had been underestimated by Zhuge Liang, Meng Huo felt a little aggrieved. After he bowed his hand to Zhuge Liang, he strode out of the tent without saying a word of thanks.
After Meng Huo left the tent, Zhuge Liang looked at the generals in the tent who were confused about his meaning, laughed and asked:
"Do you think I'm too trusting?"
After Zhuge Liang's question came out, no general answered Zhuge Liang.
But sometimes silence is already the best answer.
Faced with the confusion of the generals, Zhuge Liang no longer concealed his inner plan and said to the generals:
"Before our army marched south, I wrote to Liangzhou Mu asking him what strategy he had to defeat the rebels in South Central.
Liangzhou Mu offered me the strategy of "dividing and transforming".
Just now, after our army captured three thousand Yi soldiers, I have asked one or two Yi soldiers about the general origin of their night attack tonight.
It can be known from the mouths of those Yi soldiers that the plan for the night attack tonight was proposed by Yong Kai. But now the generals can see where Yong Kai is?
