Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 237 White Face and Red Face

The two generals in front of Meng Huo's tent never expected that the three men from the Golden Ring Three Knots would rebel, and were caught off guard.

Jinhuan Sanjie and Dong Tuna easily took care of the two generals with one sword each.

Rushing into the big tent, he saw that Meng Huo had drunk too much and fallen asleep long ago. He was lying like a dead pig and didn't hear the shouts of killing outside at all.

They rushed forward and tied up Meng Huo.

Meng Huo woke up from his sleep and saw Jin Huan San Jie and others on both sides. He exclaimed, "What are you going to do?"

Jinhuan Sanjie cursed: "Meng Huo! You are bullying me by taking advantage of your power!"

"I will take you away today and take you to serve Zhuge Military Advisor!"

Meng Huo listened with red eyes and couldn't help cursing again.

But Jinhuan Sanjie would never listen to his chattering and just shut his mouth.

Meng Huo was immediately arrested and taken to the bank of the Lu River. The boat was sailed straight to the north bank, and someone was sent to inform Xing Daorong first.

When Xing Daorong heard that the Golden Ring Three Knots had really captured Meng Huo, he was overjoyed. He planned to give Meng Huo a warning before sending him to Zhuge Liang.

He had someone bring Meng Huo over and told him to kneel on the ground. He then sat upright on his seat and said, "Meng Huo! We have captured you again. Do you have anything to say?"

Meng Huo said: "This is not your fault, but the result of my men killing each other."

Xing Daorong was furious when he heard that Meng Huo was still being stubborn, but he said, "Humph! I let you go once or twice, and you have an excuse!"

"Although victory and defeat are common in the military, this is the first time I have seen someone as shameless as the Barbarian King."

"According to my temper, I should have beheaded you long ago, and then I would have killed your tribesmen, including your wife Zhurong and that rattan armor soldier Wutugu, to avoid endless troubles in the future!"

Meng Huo was shocked when he heard this.

He secretly wondered who Xing Daorong was, that even his wife and the rattan armor soldiers knew about him...

And this guy looked like he was going to eat him alive, which made Meng Huo a little nervous.

He just refused to surrender.

It would be fine if the city was breached by the enemy this time, but he really couldn't accept being ambushed by his own people.

Then he said, "Stop talking so much. If you want to kill me, just do it. Stop talking nonsense."

When Xing Daorong heard this, Meng Huo became tougher, but he knew that this guy probably guessed that he could not kill him.

But his expression changed, and he snorted coldly: "Whether to kill you or not is still up to the military advisor."

"But swords have no eyes on the battlefield. I cannot kill you today. But next time I see you, I will not let you off easily!"

"When you meet the military advisor...you better think carefully!"

After saying this, without caring about Meng Huo's expression, he ordered someone to push him down.

Ma Yunlu looked puzzled and asked Xing Daorong, "Since the general knew that the military advisor was going to let him go, why did he become the bad guy?"

Xing Daorong explained: "It's too much trouble to keep going back and forth. I want Meng Huo to use all his tricks and defeat him once and for all."

"Besides...if we are too nice to this barbarian, he won't appreciate it. It's better to be tough and gentle at the same time."

Ma Yunlu nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and he felt the same way.

But he said: "Not only do you not appreciate it, I think you are ungrateful."

"If they had any sense of shame, they would have surrendered long ago. Why would they come against us again and again like this?"

Ma Yunlu hits the nail on the head.

Xing Daorong was really fed up with Meng Huo's constant behavior.

Only then did he mention Zhurong and the rattan armor soldiers, and asked Meng Huo to use all his abilities.

...

Xing Daorong captured Meng Huo and immediately informed Zhuge Liang of the incident. Zhuge Liang made his own arrangements after learning about it. He first sent the three cave masters of the Golden Ring Three Knots to come, rewarded them heavily, appeased them with kind words, and brought them into his tent.

He then ordered someone to bring Meng Huo over, and asked, "I heard what General Xing said, and you still don't accept it, right?"

Meng Huo said: "Although I am a barbarian, I know a lot about military tactics. If the military advisor is willing to let me go back to the cave, I will lead the troops to decide the outcome."

As he spoke, he seemed to have made up his mind and said, "If the military advisor can capture me again this time, I will surrender with all my heart and will not change my mind."

Zhuge Liang laughed when he heard this and said, "Okay! It's a deal!"

"If you refuse to surrender after being captured alive, I will not forgive you lightly."

After saying this, he ordered his attendants to remove the ropes and gave him some wine and food.

But this time he was in no hurry to send the person away. Instead, he let them sit in the tent.

Obviously, after the previous few chapters, Zhuge Liang was ready to add some extra spice.

Xing Daorong watched from the side and also learned how Zhuge Liang applied pressure.

Zhuge Liang then said, "Since I left my humble home, I have been victorious in every battle and have conquered every city. You barbarians, why are you not convinced?"

Wow, these words were so domineering that even Xing Daorong's undefeated record was suppressed a little.

Meng Huo didn't know how to respond for a moment and could only remain silent.

Zhuge Liang did not care and called Meng Huo to ride out of the camp to see the stored food and military equipment.

He pointed at Meng Huo and said, "You are a fool if you don't surrender to me! I have such a good army, so many powerful generals, so much food and weapons. How can you defeat me?"

"If you surrender early, I will report to the King of Hanzhong and let you retain the throne. Your descendants will forever suppress the barbarians. What do you think?"

Zhuge Liang's offer was generous enough, but Meng Huo still insisted: "Although I am willing to surrender, the people in the cave are unwilling to obey. If the Prime Minister is willing to let them go, I will recruit my own troops and unite them, and then I will surrender."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang said, "I'm afraid our troops are not enough. We need to ask all parties to join together to defeat them..."

Meng Huo understood that military advisor Zhuge had a hidden agenda!

Thinking about the rattan armor soldiers that Xing Daorong mentioned, he felt that these people might have known all about him.

"in this way!"

"Use all your strength!"

Having made up his mind, Meng Huo resigned immediately.

Zhuge Liang personally led his troops to the bank of the Lu River and sent Meng Huo back to the camp by boat.

After the people walked away, he gently waved his feather fan and said confidently: "This time... we should be able to end the war in South Central!"

...

When Meng Huo returned to the camp, he immediately called his brother Meng You to discuss the matter, saying, "Now I know all about Zhuge Liang's strengths and weaknesses. You should take generous gifts and go to find King Mulu and Wuguo's ruler Wutugu, and invite them to fight together against the enemy."

Meng You took the order and immediately led more than a hundred barbarian soldiers, carrying gold beads, gems, ivory, rhino horns and other treasures, to seek reinforcements.

But before he could move, someone suddenly laughed and said, "To fight against a mere Zhuge Liang, why do you need so many reinforcements? Although I am a woman, I am willing to fight with you."

Meng Huo took a quick look and saw that it was his wife, Madam Zhurong.

This lady Zhurong has lived in the southern barbarians for generations. It is said that she is a descendant of Zhurong. She is good at using flying knives and never misses her target. Her martial arts is even more powerful than Meng Huo.

He used to live in the Yinkeng Palace. Apparently, he heard that Meng Huo had been defeated in many battles, so he came to help.

Meng Huo stood up and thanked him.

Madam Zhu Rong said, "Let me try and see what the Sichuan Army is capable of!"

After saying this, he led his clan's brave generals and elite soldiers to fight against the Shu army.
