When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 760 No, Lord Huo, aren’t you trusting Meng Huo too much?
"Mr. Meng, I have a question that I don't know whether I should ask or not."

"please say."

After seeing Meng Huo's agreement, Captain Wang took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and decided that he should not ask so directly.

"When did Mr. Meng realize that something was wrong with Yong Kai, Zhu Bao and Gao Ding?"

"a year ago."

This answer really surprised Captain Wang. He didn't expect that in order to capture Yong Kai, Zhu Bao and Gao Ding in one fell swoop today, Meng Huo actually made preparations a year in advance.

Seeing the tall and strong Meng Huo, Wang Duwei could not help but stand in awe. It seemed that this righteous man Meng was a man of both civil and military talents. It would be a pity if such a man did not become an official!
Feeling the burning gaze of Captain Wang, Meng Huo laughed dumbly. If Captain Wang knew that he had been on guard against Yong Kai, Zhu Bao, and Gao Ding many years ago, wouldn't he be in awe?
"Mr. Meng, as a witness, please follow me."

"it is good."

Meng Huo did not refuse Captain Wang's invitation, and Captain Wang talked a lot with Meng Huo along the way.

The more they talked, the more Wang Duwei looked at Meng Huo, and he was amazed. Meng Da could talk about everything from astronomy to geography, and he knew a thing or two about everything. It was completely different from his rough appearance!

Wang Duwei was puzzled and asked, "Mr. Meng, you are a very talented writer. Why don't you take the imperial examination and serve the Han Dynasty? With your talent, you will surely be able to become a county official, right?"

"I have taken the exam several times but failed. Captain Wang, you are overpraising me." Meng Huo shook his head. What about knowing astronomy and geography, and having brilliant literary talent? These were some basic knowledge he learned from watching short videos in the theater. It was really a pipe dream to pass the imperial examination with this knowledge.

Lack of ability is only one of the reasons. The more important point is
Meng Huo thought of the snow in Maicheng, the night in Yong'an, and the wind in Wuzhangyuan. All he could do was to prevent the South from being in chaos.
The news that Yong Kai, Zhu Bao and Gao Ding were thrown into prison for smuggling quickly spread throughout Jianning County.

Jianning County was like boiling water in a pot, boiling up instantly, with people talking about it everywhere in the streets and alleys.

Some people said: "I told you that Yong Kai is not a good person. As the saying goes, a dog will always eat shit. Yong Kai, who is rampant in the village, is just afraid of the governor. Isn't this his true face?"

There were also people clapping and cheering, "Great, great! Yong Kai, Zhu Bao and Gao Ding have been executed. This is great news!"

Some people looked so worried that their faces turned bitter. Others looked at each other and asked questions.

The man sighed and said, "I work in Yong Kai's workshop, but I haven't been paid yet."

The result caused everyone to laugh. "Yongkai's workshop has been confiscated, and you are still worried about your wages? Can the county government afford your wages? Well, even if the county government doesn't pay, won't the court care? With the regent and three wise ministers, you will definitely be indispensable!"

The man looked embarrassed, and then he realized that he had said the wrong thing. Amid the laughter of the crowd, he covered his face and ran away.

The capture of Yong Kai, Zhu Bao and Gao Ding did not cause much stir among the Han people. To the Han people, the capture of the three was more like a topic of conversation after dinner.

For the Yi people, it was completely different. The capture of Yong Kai, Zhu Bao and Gao Ding caused an uproar among the Yi people.

They were like frightened birds, and felt uneasy whenever they talked about this matter.

"Yong Kai and Zhu Bao actually...actually engaged in smuggling. Gao Ding has caused us so much trouble!" "Bah!" Someone soon retorted, "That's not what you said at the beginning. You said Gao Ding made us richer and richer!"

Some people even cried, "I really didn't know at first that what was sent to Xianglin County was military supplies! What should we do? What should we do?"

An atmosphere of sadness and fear enveloped all the barbarians in a very short time. When they thought of the Han army they would face next, their legs trembled and they shivered.

Gao Xi, who was quite prestigious among the Yi people, stood up. He looked around, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he shouted: "Brothers, listen to me. Gao Ding will definitely tell us our names after he goes to jail. According to Han law, the crime of smuggling is punishable by strangulation! If you sit there and do nothing, you will be strangled to death by the Han people. It is better to take up arms and fight the Han people. Maybe there is still a way to survive!"

As soon as Gao Xi finished speaking, Gao Xi's confidants who were mixed in the crowd shouted angrily: "Fight! Fight with the Han people!"

The hesitant barbarians were led astray by Gao Xi's confidants and shouted, "Let's fight!"

Gao Xi nodded with satisfaction, and his expression seemed to say that people’s hearts are useful.

Jianning County soon received a secret report that the barbarians were planning a rebellion. The newly appointed Jianning County Commander looked at the newly appointed Jianning Governor Huo Yi and said, "My Lord, we should strike first! We must not miss this opportunity!"

What surprised the captain was that Huo Yi did not make a decision, but looked at Meng Huo beside him and asked in a deep voice: "Brother Meng, what do you think?"

Such a friendly tone really made the captain's eyes widen in surprise. No, this is the first time you and Meng Huo have met, right? Letting Meng Huo participate in such an important event as a staff member is already an exception, right? Why is the tone of the prince so friendly to Meng Huo, as if he is an old friend who has met again after a long absence?
Aren't you the prince's attendant? How did you know Meng Huo? This... This doesn't fit your identity!
Captain Wang thought to himself: Lord Huo must have seen that Brother Meng is extremely talented and not an ordinary person!
Meng Huo clasped his fists and said, "My Lord, there is no need to bother you with mobilizing troops."

"Oh? Brother Meng, do you have any good ideas?" Huo Yi's eyes lit up.

Meng Huo nodded, "All we need is one man and one horse."

"One man and one horse." Huo Yi calmed down and thought with a frown. Could this person you are referring to be you, Brother Meng?
If it were someone else, Huo Yi would not dare to take the risk.

If this person is Meng Huo.
Huo Yi hesitated. After all, this was too dangerous. If Meng Huo met with an accident, wouldn't it be the loss of a wise and capable general?
But when he thought of Meng Huo's calm and reliable performance in the fairyland, and then looked up and saw Meng Huo's face full of determination, Huo Yi made up his mind and decided to let Meng Huo give it a try, provided that he was sure enough.

"How confident are you, Brother Meng?"

"Ten percent!"

Everyone in the audience was shocked when these words were spoken. Did they hear it wrong?

Even Captain Wang was shocked. Brother Meng, are you exaggerating a bit? 100%, even if you are quite prestigious in Jianning, even if you are talented, 100% is too exaggerated, right? Don't say that the Lord of the Mansion will not agree. If it were me, I would not agree either!
To Captain Wang's surprise, Huo Yi only uttered one word, "Okay."

what?
Both Captain Wang and Captain Jianning were dumbfounded. Captain Wang thought to himself: No, Lord, you trust Brother Meng too much, don't you?

The Jianning Commandant thought to himself: My Lord, Meng Huo was just a commoner not long ago. It is not a good idea to put commoners in danger, right?
