Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 228: Dissociation between South China
Faced with Zhuge Liang's questions, Jiang Wei was not at all panicked.

He only said: "I think... the reason why the military advisor came here today is to stabilize Nanzhong."

"Kill or release, or to deter the enemy or appease the people, it is all for the purpose of stabilizing a place."

"To show mercy is also to give those rebels another chance to turn back. If they are stubborn, we can show them weakness and then use all our military strength to defeat them. This is what is called a smiling face with a dagger hidden in it."

After saying this, Jiang Wei bowed to Zhuge Liang and said, "Military Advisor, these are just my humble opinions. If there are any mistakes, please forgive me."

Zhuge Liang smiled heartily, waved his feather fan and said, "Not bad, not bad, you are almost right."

When Jiang Wei heard this, he was not very happy because of Zhuge Liang's praise. He just bowed again and said, "Thank you for your teachings, military advisor."

After saying that, he returned to Xing Daorong without stopping at all.

Everyone was amazed at his kindness, but they also had a new understanding of Jiang Wei.

Originally, I thought this guy was just lucky and somehow was valued by Xing Daorong. Now it seems that he really has some abilities.

Knew it!
How could Xing Daorong have misjudged someone?
Jiang Wei's ability also helped Xing Daorong gain a lot of points in his ability to judge people.

But let’s not talk about Jiang Wei, let’s talk about E Huan.

When he returned to see Gao Ding that day, he told him about Zhuge Liang's kindness.

Gao Ding heard this and said gratefully: "Military Advisor actually thinks of us so much."

After saying this, he felt more or less ashamed of his rebellious behavior.

But once the arrow is shot, there is no way to retrieve it. Even though Zhuge Liang was so righteous and kind, I really have no way to repay him.

I was in such a state of confusion for a whole day.

The next day, Yong Kai arrived at the camp.

After exchanging greetings, he suddenly asked, "How did you get E Huan back?"

It turned out that Yong Kai had already heard the news that E Huan was captured alive, so he asked a question when they met.

Gao Ding responded, "Zhuge Liang released him out of righteousness."

Upon hearing this, Yong Kai suddenly frowned and shouted: "This is Zhuge Liang's plan to sow discord between us, so he used this scheme!"

When Gao Ding heard this, he was half-believing and half-doubting, and kept hesitating.

Yong Kai said ruthlessly: "Now that we have started the rebellion, we must not give up halfway. If we surrender, we will only end up being beheaded!"

There is some truth in what you said.

Since ancient times, there has never been a good ending for rebels!
To put it bluntly, once this decision was made, death was certain!
Having said this, Gao Ding's mind calmed down a little and he was no longer so restless.

As he was speaking, someone came to report that Zhuge Liang had asked his general Xing Daorong to come and attack the enemy!
Yong Kai listened and said, "I don't believe it. This Xing Daorong can really win every battle. I will kill him myself in this battle!"

After saying this, he led his troops away.

As they marched along the way, they met a general who was leading a group of soldiers.

The first one was holding a mountain axe, riding a white horse, and looking at him with sidelong eyes.

The look was extremely contemptuous, as if he was just an ant.

He couldn't help but get furious and led his troops to charge forward.

Although he was said to lead the troops, Yong Kai did not dare to lead the way. He just mixed in the army and went to the battle together.

However, Xing Daorong, as usual, was the first to take the lead.

When he met the leading soldiers, he roared and swung his axe to knock down two of them.

The soldiers in Nanzhong had just left the novice village, so how could they have seen someone as fierce as Xing Daorong! When Liu Bei entered Sichuan, he had not fought much in Nanzhong. Although they were all veterans, they had never fought a serious war.

They were frightened by Xing Daorong's appearance and were immediately dispersed by the Shu soldiers who arrived.

This is what happens when a novice goes out of the village and encounters a max-level boss, he'll be shattered with just one touch!
When Yong Kai saw this in the battle, he was horrified.

Before he could regret his reckless behavior, Xing Daorong had already arrived.

This guy didn't even have the thought to resist and just turned around and left.

But how could Zhuge Liang's military tactics be so easily defeated?

When Yong Kai was halfway through his escape, Zhao Yun led his troops to attack and intercepted him halfway.

How could Yong Kai escape from being attacked from both sides by Xing Daorong and Zhao Yun?

Gao Ding in the stronghold got the news and hurried out to rescue, but halfway through, he was repelled by Zhao Yun's horse.

The troops of Yong Kai and Gao Ding were defeated and went their separate ways, where they were ambushed by Zhou Tai and Zhang Yi.

Most of them were killed or wounded, and countless were captured alive. They were all brought to the main camp. Only two generals, Yong Kai and Gao Ding, ran fast and broke through the encirclement directly, escaped, and returned directly to their respective camps.

Zhuge Liang made special arrangements to imprison Yong Kai's people on one side, and Gao Ding's people on the other side.

But he ordered his soldiers to spread a rumor: "Only Gao Ding's men were spared, while Yong Kai's men were all killed."

All the soldiers heard this.

After a while, Zhuge Liang ordered Yong Kai's men to come to his tent and asked, "Who are you all from?"

Everyone heard about this. Anyone who said he was Yong Kai's subordinate would die a miserable death!
They all pretended to be dumbfounded and said, "They are Gao Ding's subordinates."

Zhuge Liang did not know whether it was true or not. When he heard that Gao Ding refused to surrender, he spared his life, rewarded him with food and wine, and sent him out of Jieshou and released him back to the camp.

After asking this question, Yong Kai's man ordered all Gao Ding's soldiers to be escorted over.

Ask which group of people they are from.

This group of people were originally Gao Ding's men. When they heard that they could be released as long as they said they were Gao Ding's subordinates, they naturally hurried to tell the truth.

"We are actually soldiers under Gao Ding's command."

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words were spoken, Zhuge Liang became furious!
But he cried out: "Nonsense!"

"The people ahead all claim to be Gao Ding's subordinates. Could it be that there isn't even one Yong Kai's man?"

"You must be lying!"

When everyone heard this, they were terrified, fearing that Zhuge Liang had really made a mistake and would kill them all!
But he hurriedly explained: "We are telling the truth, we are really Gao Ding's subordinates, as for the people in front, they are lying."

Zhuge Liang heard this and seemed to have suddenly realized something, but he said, "So that's how it is. I was wrong."

Having said this, they were all spared from death and given wine and food.

While these soldiers were eating and drinking, he threatened: "Yong Kai sent people to surrender today and offered your lord and Zhu Bao's heads as a reward. I can't bear it. Since you are Gao Ding's subordinates, I will let you go back, and you must not rebel again. If you are captured again, I will never forgive you easily."

When everyone heard this, their hearts trembled, and they all nodded repeatedly, saying that they dared not.

Soon, seeing that Zhuge Liang had nothing more to say, they all thanked him and left.

When he returned to the village, he went to see Gao Ding and told him about this. Gao Ding was secretly surprised and felt that Kong Ming was too good to him!
Some are too good to be true.

He secretly sent people to Yongkai's camp to inquire, and found that there were people who were also released by Zhuge Liang, speaking of Zhuge Liang's virtue.

Therefore, many of Yong Kai's troops were willing to submit to Gao Ding.
