Chapter 485: A big face and seven captures
Yong Kai was stunned like a wooden chicken; this isn't right, the style is wrong!
Shouldn't you untie me and let me go back to fight again!
The broadcast room laughed out loud,
"Brother Bei doesn't talk about martial virtue; others want to reorganize and fight you again!"
"Yong Kai is to be pitied; the imitation failed, and his life is going to be lost!"
"Look at how scared this kid is."
Yong Kai let out a miserable scream,
"Lord Xuande, I am willing to surrender!"
"I am willing to be the vanguard and go... attack Meng Huo!"
Liu Bei waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to drag him out; he was too noisy.
This guy was just a tool—he was already useless.
Soon, a miserable scream came from outside; Yong Kai was dead!
Meng Huo, seeing Yong Kai killed, shivered in fear and whipped his horse to run, afraid that Liu Bei would change his mind; he didn't even help Yong Kai collect his corpse.
Cave Master Dai Lai was dumbfounded,
"Brother-in-law, why did you kill one and release the other?"
Liu Bei looked at Guo Jia,
"Fengxiao, explain it."
Guo Jia looked around,
"Everyone, Meng Huo's strength still remains, and the other pro-Meng Huo forces in Yongchang Commandery are still very strong. If our army goes to conquer them one by one, it will be too time-consuming and laborious."
"My lord intends to wait for him to gather his friends' great armies and catch them all in one net!"
Everyone gasped; Lord Xuande was indeed domineering!
This was indeed the best way to solve the Nanzhong problem in a short time.
Who is an enemy and who is a friend—seeing how they choose sides makes it clear at a glance!
But it also requires strong strength to support it, otherwise, it is releasing a tiger back to the mountain.
Liu Bei naturally didn't have Zhuge Liang's patience to do something like seven captures and seven releases.
Moreover, at this time, Meng Huo didn't have that reputation, and he had the hatred of stealing a wife with him. Liu Bei, in making this plan to lure the snake out of the hole, had no intention of keeping Meng Huo.
"Give face seven times? Even though Meng Huo's face is big, it's not worth it!"
He wanted to control Nanzhong as soon as possible, and then control Yizhou to welcome the future great war!
The broadcast room's barrage increased a lot,
"Brother Bei is becoming more and more domineering!"
"This is letting Meng Huo call all his brothers so he can slap them all to death with one palm!"
"Wiping out Meng Huo's circle of friends? Terrible, hurry up and quit the circle!"
"Meng Huo is just a pitiful tool; he still thinks he's so awesome!"
"He is not pitiful; is being a Barbarian King something you get elected to? How many people has he killed?"
Liu Bei let Li Hui control Dianchi County, the seat of Jianning Commandery, and implement policies to benefit the people.
He personally led thirty thousand troops, as well as the thirty thousand troops of Cave Master Dai Lai, Wu Yi, other small cave masters, and gentry who came to help, gathering sixty thousand troops to kill toward Yongchang Commandery in a mighty torrent.
All of Nanzhong was shaken!
Everyone didn't expect that Meng Huo's one hundred and twenty thousand-strong army would disappear just like that, actually being wiped out by Lord Xuande in one battle!
"King Mulu's many beast soldiers were instantly wiped out, and he himself was trampled to death by an elephant!"
"Is the Barbarian King really capable? His lady was snatched away, and he is completely no match for Lord Xuande in fighting!"
"No wonder Miss Zhu Rong chose Lord Xuande; he's strong!"
"Lord Xuande's personal expedition to Yongchang Commandery this time was rash; it is densely covered with miasma and poisonous springs, and he is not familiar with the terrain. I'm afraid he will capsize in the gutter!"
"Meng Huo still has several friends with powerful strength; Lord Xuande is in danger."
"Lord Xuande is too benevolent; he actually released Meng Huo. Benevolence and righteousness, but unfortunately, he used it on the wrong person."
"Meng Huo doesn't know how to be grateful; he is not a good person."
Chengdu Prefecture,
Liu Zhang, who had just been defeated and returned home, looked at the bamboo slips in his hand, not knowing whether to be happy or worried,
"Brother Xuande defeated Meng Huo's one hundred and twenty thousand-strong army in one battle!"
Liu Zhang's subordinates all gasped!
Zhang Song praised inwardly,
"Lord Xuande is mighty; I really didn't choose wrong!"
Wang Lei said loudly,
"My lord, Liu Bei won the hearts of the people of Nanzhong in one battle. Now his subordinates' troops have expanded to thirty thousand, and there are barbarian soldiers like Cave Master Dai Lai to help. In the future, his troops will be no less than one hundred thousand!"
Zhang Ren also cupped his hands,
"My lord, we must be on guard."
Liu Zhang looked around,
"Then what do you want me to do?"
Wang Lei paused,
"My lord, Liu Bei originally had only ten thousand troops, so we should send him grain based on the grain and fodder for ten thousand troops. Then send troops to occupy Yuexi Commandery and appoint a Jianning Administrator."
Liu Zhang frowned,
"But Liu Bei appointed Li Hui as Jianning Administrator, and Li Hui also made great contributions..."
Wang Lei cupped his hands,
"My lord, Li Hui has already defected to Liu Bei; he absolutely cannot be allowed to hold the position of Commandery Administrator."
Wang Lei's eyeballs rolled,
"My lord, you can appoint Li Yi as Jianning Administrator."
Liu Zhang's eyes lit up; Li Yi had over fifteen thousand troops under his command and was quite arrogant and did not accept his command. Sending him to Jianning, the two would fight, and he could sit back and reap the benefits!
"Good, just do that!"
