"Generals, my dear Jiang Wei, thanks to the great love of my senior brother and mentor, I have come here to demonstrate my skills in front of you."
Jiang Wei bowed his hands and spoke humbly to the generals.
Everyone had a good impression of Jiang Wei. After all, he was the younger brother of the Crown Prince and a disciple of Mr. Zhuge.
"You're welcome, little brother!"
"Just as you are told!"
"I'm all ears!"
Seeing everyone's agreement, Jiang Wei immediately smiled and said: "Our army attacked the city with stone chariots, and now Huang Yuan is already timid!"
"This person is pretending to march northeast. Huang Yuan's name is to burn the city, but he is actually escaping along the river!"
Jiang Wei's words puzzled many generals. At least in their eyes, how could Huang Yuan easily travel by water?
We should take the overland route from the northeast.
However, the young master had previously ordered that this battle be given to Jiang Wei, a young boy.
"Zhang He, Li Yan!"
"The general is here!"
"Order you two to pursue Huang Yuan's army in the northeast direction!"
Jiang Wei smiled and said: "These soldiers are an important labor force, and they are perfectly suitable for use in Jiaozhou's farming!"
"Although I haven't met Deng Shizai yet, I believe he will like this gift!"
Liu Mang nodded slightly and looked at Jiang Wei encouragingly, which doubled the latter's confidence!
"Pang De! Guan Ping! Ma Dai obeys the order!"
The three of them immediately took a step forward, cupped their fists and said, "The last general takes orders!"
Jiang Wei nodded and smiled: "The three of you captured Huang Yuan alive at the mouth of the Qingyi River in Nan'an!"
Everyone followed the order and left, but Xing Daorong refused to leave.
"Little general! How come you forgot about me?"
"That Zhang He has lower qualifications than me, but he can still fight!"
"Thanks to Admiral Lingling's big ax, I am so hungry and thirsty, but I don't have a chance to drink blood!"
Faced with Xing Daorong's shamelessness, Jiang Wei had obviously done his homework.
"General Xing, don't get angry. To prevent Huang Yuan from jumping over the wall in a hurry, you have to protect your senior brother and your husband!"
"Be a bodyguard..."
Seeing Xing Daorong's bitter look, Liu Mang smiled and asked, "What? Not willing?"
Xing Daorong quickly changed his words: "Yes! Prince, I am willing!"
Walking to the gate of the military camp, Xing Daorong muttered: "You can disarm me in three moves, do you still need me to protect you?"
Huang Yuan has already begun to take action, and the large force in the northeast is his plan.
The city wall that was smashed by the stone cart was obviously difficult to repair.
Instead of waiting to die in the city, it would be better for everyone to go their separate ways.
Huang Yuan's idea was simple. If the large force attracted the attention of the Han army, he could sneak away quietly, go down the river, and directly defect to Sun Quan in the east of the Yangtze River.
As for whether the two sides are allies or not, Huang Yuan believes that as long as he can bring benefits to Sun Quan, the other party will not hand him over to Liu Mang.
Huang Yuan couldn't help but smile scornfully when he saw the large army engaging in battle with the main force of the Han army just after leaving the city.
"Liu Mang? That's all! So what if we defeat Cao Cao? You're not being fooled by me now!"
"Let's go! Follow me to the east gate!"
"The Qingyi River has a ferry ready!"
Huang Yuan quietly walked out of the east gate with his three hundred soldiers, and the Han army did not notice them at all.
This also made Huang Yuan feel relieved. He would give the secrets related to Yizhou to Sun Quan as a bargaining chip for survival.
"General... we escaped!"
"General's brilliant plan, even Zhuge Wolong is under your control!"
"People like Liu Mang, in the end, have no choice but to become generals!"
Hearing the flattery of his men, Huang Yuan smiled slightly and ordered everyone to board the ship quickly.
But as soon as everyone arrived at Qingyi River, they were surrounded by Han troops.
The leader shouted loudly: "Guan Ping, the son of Guan Yu, the Hou Tinghou of the Han Dynasty, is here. Where is the traitor general Huang Yuan?"
Pang De and Ma Dai came out from the diagonal path and attacked directly from the left and right, completely surrounding Huang Yuan and his party.
"You... you..."
Huang Yuan's heart was filled with despair, but he saw Jiang Wei walking indifferently.
"Huang Yuan, a three-year-old child in Shu can see through the tactics of the suspicious soldiers."
"You alone want to fool my senior brother and mentor?"
"Generals, capture him alive!"
Under siege from three sides, Huang Yuan still wanted to resist, but his men had already laid down their weapons first!
"You take up arms and resist!"
"As long as you send me to Soochow, I will ensure that you have prosperity and wealth!"
Huang Yuan's incompetent rage seemed quite insignificant in Jiang Wei's eyes.
The young man looked at the cruelty of the battlefield and did not react too much. After all, he had lived in Liangzhou since he was a child and had seen too many life and death separations.
"Take him away!"
All three hundred of Huang Yuan's men surrendered. In less than a day, the Han army captured Huang Yuan alive at the mouth of the Qingyi River!
This incident quickly spread throughout the four counties of Nanzhong, making all the rebels frightened.
When they rebelled, they thought of the power of the Han army.
He also understood that Huang Yuan's strength could not stop Liu Mang at all.
It's just that no one expected that Huang Yuan would be so vulnerable. He was captured alive after resisting for just one day!
"Are you Liu Mang?"
Huang Yuan was tied up by Wuhua Da and sent to Liu Mang's military camp.
"Well, do you have anything to do with me?"
"I want to live!"
Huang Yuan's eyes were full of desire for survival.
But in Liu Mang's eyes, he could only see the vicissitudes of life, as if he had already been accustomed to the separation of life.
This shouldn't be the look in the eyes of a young man who is only twenty years old!
"reason."
Liu Mang looked at Huang Yuan, not showing disgust, but more just weighing the pros and cons.
"I...I know where the secret of Yong Chi, the Marquis of Shifang in the Han Dynasty, is!"
"This man has buried many rare treasures. If we can get his secret treasure, we will definitely be able to enrich the military."
"As long as the prince spares my life, I will tell you everything!"
Huang Yuan knelt down and kowtowed continuously. Tai Shiheng stood guard beside Liu Mang, his eyes full of contempt.
"Did I say I wanted to kill you?"
"The prince is benevolent and righteous!"
"If my prediction is correct, Yong Kai is a descendant of Yong Chi, right?"
"My ancestors lived in Han Dynasty and had no thought of serving the country."
"Now they are colluding with the Southern Barbarians to invade our territory of the Han Dynasty."
"It's simply an unforgivable crime!"
Seeing Liu Mang angry, Huang Yuan was so frightened that he slapped himself repeatedly, hoping to alleviate Liu Mang's dislike of him.
"Tell me who the main force in this rebellion is."
After listening to Liu Mang's inquiry, Huang Yuan told Liu Mang everything about Yong Kai, Zhu Bao, Meng Huo, Gao Ding and others.
"Your Majesty, be careful of Meng Huo!"
"This man is half Han Chinese and has a close relationship with the local Han wealthy families. He has received a lot of money and food!"
"Half barbarian blood and connections with the southern barbarian tribe, I can ask the cave master of the thirty-sixth cave for help!"
"However, with the prince's ability, it will be easy to pacify Nanzhong!"
Huang Yuan was flattering, but Liu Mang just went in one ear and out the other.
"The next target is Yi Wang Gaoding in Yuexun County."
"If my prediction is correct, Gaoding will build fortifications in the three counties of Yanniu at the southern end of Hanjia County, as well as Dingzeo and Beishui in the upper reaches of the country."
Huang Yuan's eyes widened again. Could it be that Liu Mang had the ability to predict the future?
