Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 236: Becoming famous makes it easier to fight
When Meng Huo heard about Zhuge Liang's battle formation, he suddenly felt proud.

But he laughed with his attendants and said, "Zhuge Liang is no better than that."

"Although being near mountains and rivers can avoid the heat, as long as we use fire attacks, we will surely be able to defeat them."

However, a chieftain nearby advised: "Zhuge Liang is a man of great foresight, I'm afraid he has already prepared for it."

Meng Huo said angrily: "The battle array has been set up like this, why are you still preparing for it? Do you think he has planned everything out?"

Then he made up his mind and said, "I'll send someone to burn down his camp and see what you have to say!"

After saying this, he ordered Chief Mang Ya to lead 3,000 barbarian soldiers, and ordered three cave masters including Jinhuan Sanjie to lead their tribesmen to sneak across the Lu River and burn down the Sichuan soldiers' camp.

He instructed: “You can go to the shallow water of Shakou and cross the river quickly.”

Everyone took the order and prepared to set off.

but…

Before setting off, the three cave masters of the Golden Ring Three Knots naturally had to get together for a discussion.

...

"You two, we were originally planning to wait for Zhuge Liang to attack us, but now he wants us to sneak across the river. How should we respond?"

Jinhuan Sanjie spoke quite bluntly, and Dongdana and Ahuinan also responded bluntly.

But Dong Tuna said, "Meng Huo asked us to go, so let's go."

"If we lose again on the battlefield, it will be a good opportunity for Zhuge Liang to surrender."

"Lest you die... accompanying Meng Huo."

Ah Huinan added: "Although we live in a barbarian land, we have never dared to invade the Central Plains, and the Central Plains have never invaded us."

"Now, due to the pressure from Meng Huo, I have no choice but to rebel."

"Think of Zhuge Liang's unpredictable strategy and Xing Daorong's invincibility. Even Cao Cao and Sun Quan were afraid of them, let alone us barbarians?"

Jinhuan Sanjie listened and said, "It's settled then. The three of us will try our best to kill him. If that fails..."

"When you surrender, no one should blame anyone else."

Upon hearing this, the two nodded.

The fight hasn't even started yet, but they're already thinking about surrendering.

...

The next day.

Mang Yachang and the three cave masters went to the shallow water.

Mang Yachang took the lead as the vanguard.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the front army crossed the shallow water, they suddenly heard the sound of killing.

Looking around, he saw three groups of soldiers approaching.

Who else could the leader be but Xing Daorong?
Xing Daorong is a person who can be easily controlled even by the Barbarian King, let alone himself?

As soon as we met, I felt a little timid.

Xing Daorong didn't waste any words and chopped him down in the face with an axe.

The power of the axe lies in its first few moves.

Especially the first move, if you are timid and dare not deal with it, you are really doomed!
In fact, this is the situation now.

Actually, Xing Daorong's move was not aimed at Mang Yachang's vital point, but Mang Yachang was frightened and did not dare to fight back. After just one move, he was chopped down by Xing Daorong's axe.

When Jinhuan Sanjie of the rear army heard the news, they quickly gathered their troops together and arrived at the water's edge. Sure enough, they saw Xing Daorong holding Mang Yachang's head and looking at everyone.

Seeing this, Xing Daorong rode forward and shouted, "You ungrateful traitors! We spared your lives, but now you are betraying us. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?"

The three men of Jinhuan Sanjie were filled with shame and had no words to say.

Xing Daorong saw this and knew that these people had already thought about surrendering, so he said, "Meng Huo has no ability, but he dares to rebel. He is doomed to perish. If you surrender early, you will also be abandoning darkness and joining the light."

Upon hearing this, the three men looked at each other, dismounted, and bowed, saying, "We are willing to surrender."

Xing Daorong saw that this was going very smoothly, and immediately said, "In this case, why don't you go back and capture Meng Huo to atone for your sins?"

The three of them looked at each other, and after a while they nodded in agreement. They immediately stopped fighting and led their troops back.

...

"General... these barbarians are fickle. If we let them go, I'm afraid they will become fickle again."

Seeing the people walking away, Ma Yunlu finally spoke out his worries.

She was right to worry.

These barbarians in front are wavering, and it may not be easy to make them surrender wholeheartedly.

Xing Daorong responded, "There is no perfect method in the world. If the barbarian can be used by me this time, that would be great. If not... I can just capture him again."

After all, although these barbarians are very powerful, they are far inferior to Cao Cao and Sun Quan in an actual fight.

If these tribes were not in the mountains, there would be no need for repeated troubles.

Ma Yunlu heard Xing Daorong's confidence and smiled, "Yes... I know that the general is victorious in every battle. He can easily defeat even Cao Cao's generals, let alone these barbarians."

Xing Daorong was not modest at all when he heard this.

Laughing loudly: "The barbarians are already at odds with each other, so this will most likely be accomplished. It all depends on whether Jinhuan Sanjie and the others know the current situation."

Ma Yunlu looked at Xing Daorong's confidence and his heart started pounding again.

Xing Daorong was so confident and heroic, and his high-spirited and calm demeanor made Ma Yunlu a little obsessed.

...

While Xing Daorong was full of confidence and convinced Ma Yunlu again, the three members of Jinhuan Sanjie were still a little distressed.

They were silent all the way until they were almost at the camp, when Jin Huan San said, "I wonder what you think of General Xing's intention?"

Ah Hui murmured, "I was already forgiven last time and was released. Since I have been promised this time, I might as well go all out and capture Meng Huo directly."

Jinhuan Sanjie was about to nod when he heard this, but saw that Dong Tuna was still cautious.

But he said: "After all, it's not easy to capture the Barbarian King. It's better to go back and take a look at the situation first."

Things like arresting people and asking them to surrender can only be done well if we are united.

When Jinhuan Sanjie heard that Dongdana still had second thoughts, he immediately knew that he should not act rashly, so he said, "Let's see what the king has to say first, and then make a plan."

Although Ah Huinan wanted to capture Meng Huo directly, he didn't insist when he saw that the other two cave masters said so.

He just nodded silently, planning to wait and see.

The three men led their troops back to the camp and were summoned by Meng Huo.

They were all feeling anxious, but Meng Huo's first words told them to give up.

"You saw that Xing Daorong did not fight, but did you consider Zhuge Liang's kindness and let him go?"

"Come here, kill them for me, or there will be no second thoughts in the army!"

When these words were spoken, everyone in the tent was shocked.

They hurriedly came up to dissuade them one by one, and only then did Meng Huo change his mind.

He added: "Considering the formidable enemy at hand, I will spare your death penalty."

"Each of you take 100 blows, and return to the camp!"

Meng Huo's move was actually to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

From his perspective, how could there be no punishment when he knew that these three retreated without a fight?

However, he did not expect that these three people had rebellious intentions, and this action further strengthened their determination.

After being punished, the three men gathered together, all of them rebellious.

Jin Huan Sanjie said, "Meng Huo is not good at judging people. Whether you two are willing to go today or not, I will go with you both."

Dongdana and Ahuinan both shouted, "We want to go together!"

So the three men, armed with steel knives, led more than a hundred people and headed straight for the big camp.

At that time, Meng Huo was drunk in the tent. Jinhuan Sanjie led the crowd in with knives. When they saw two generals standing under the tent, they chopped them off without saying a word!
