We can't blame Meng Da for being suspicious. It was actually the matter of cutting off his hair and earning Cao Ren that had a huge impact on his life.
Although Mi Yang promised him rewards after the incident, he was not missing any of them. Meng Da was also very satisfied with those rewards afterwards.
But this incident still caused a lot of damage to his "reputation".
After all, "breaking your hair to earn Cao Ren" can be called deceitful in the final analysis.
He, Mengda, was from the same famous family as Fazheng.
Isn't the biggest reason why Cao Ren and Cao Pi were deceived by Meng Da in the first place because they believed that Meng Da, who came from a famous family, would not do such unrestricted things?
Therefore, after Meng Da saw Mi Yang's eyes that looked similar to those of Deja vu, he immediately became vigilant.
Of course, it's not that Meng Da dared to disobey Mi Yang's orders, or that he suddenly became a noble character and wanted to defend his "honest reputation" to the death.
Mengda's vigilance comes from weighing the pros and cons in his heart.
If Mi Yang wanted to repeat his old tricks, he would be willing to sacrifice his life for the big man again without hesitation, but only if Mi Yang had to pay more.
Meng Da's sudden alert look made Mi Yang laugh.
Meng Da was the first general to join his command. Although they didn't get along much in the past, Mi Yang still knew Meng Da quite well.
Meng Da's eyes were not only wary, but also a little greedy and eager.
From the complicated look in his eyes, it was not difficult for Mi Yang to guess Meng Da's thoughts.
So the first thing he said to Mengda was:
"Don't worry, sir, how can I be a person who repeats his old skills?
I will not put you in danger rashly. "
If Meng Da were to resort to a false surrender plan again, Meng Da would not be able to get Cao Pi's letter through a few more letters, given the lessons learned from the past.
Only by taking other methods.
But other methods mean that the corresponding risks will also increase.
The four people present knew this very well.
After Meng Da listened to Mi Yang's words, not only did he not show any emotion, but he became even more wary.
The Mi Yang he knew didn't seem like someone who would love and protect him.
Even Zhou Tai and Fa Miao on the side couldn't help but let out a chuckle.
If Mi Yang loved them so much, they would naturally believe him.
But for Meng Da.
The incomprehension of the three people did not make Mi Yang hesitate. Mi Yang then said to Meng Da:
"You come from a famous family in Fufeng. Your ancestors are well-known in Fufeng, and you have close friendship with many Fufeng families.
Gu hopes that you can be Gu's envoy and enter Fufeng County in advance to announce Gu's arrival to all the Fufeng families. If you can attract some Fufeng families to take refuge, that would naturally be the best. "
Mengda was a native of Pingling County, Fufeng County. His ancestor was Mengta, the governor of Liangzhou in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Many of his ancestors also served as high-ranking officials with two thousand stone.
And Mengda's great-grandfather reached the rank of Sangong in the end.
Such a family background, even if it cannot be compared with the Yuan family in Runan, but in the entire Three Kingdoms, there are not many people who can surpass Meng Da.
Such a good family background also means that Meng Da has a high reputation in Fufeng County and even the entire Yongzhou area.
This is also one of the reasons why Fa Zhenghui chose to protect Meng Da after he committed the crime and sent him to Mi Yang's side.
Keeping Meng Da alive will play an important role in the future Northern Expedition.
Now is the time for Meng Da to play this role.
But after listening to Mi Yang's words, a look of disbelief suddenly appeared on Meng Da's face.
He knew the general wouldn't be so kind!
However, even though he had been wary for a long time, Meng Da was shocked by Mi Yang's "evil intentions".
As an envoy of the Han army, asking him to go to Fufeng County to actively recruit surrender for the Han army was equivalent to asking him to go directly to Cao Pi, who hated him to the core, and played and sang.
If Cao Pi knew that Meng Da dared to enter Guanzhong, wouldn't he have sent someone to chop him alive?
You must know that at the beginning, he directly deceived Cao Pi and nailed him to the pillar of shame in history.
Didn't the general tell him to die?
After Zhou Tai and Fa Miao listened to Mi Yang's thoughts, the doubts on their faces quietly disappeared.
That's how it should be.
Although Meng Da did not reject Mi Yang outright, looking at his despairing look, you could tell how unwilling he was.
Of course Meng Da's expression could be noticed by Mi Yang, but he did not intend to harm Meng Da. Instead, it was necessary to send Meng Da into Guanzhong to connect with the Fufeng family who was interested in the Han army.
Mi Yang's main goal is to attract most of the attention of the Wei army in Guanzhong. In fact, to do this, his reputation alone is enough.
But Mi Yang wanted to continue to reduce the pressure on Liu Bei.
For the Wei army, once Mi Yang's army appears in Baoxie Road, it means that their biggest foreign enemy has appeared.
And if Mi Yang can get the support of some aristocratic families in Guanzhong, then Mi Yang can provoke civil strife in Guanzhong.
After Liu Bei won the great victory at Dingjunshan, many large and small uprisings broke out in Nanyang and various parts of the Central Plains because Cao Wei's taxes and services were too heavy.
Among them, the most powerful one was the Wancheng Uprising led by Hou Yin.
But in those uprisings, because Jingzhou was not prepared for war, Guan Yu did not send troops in time to respond, which gave Cao Wei time to calm down.
But these days are different.
Now it was Mi Yang who took the initiative to use the power of Liangzhou's victory to send Meng Da to instigate some families in Guanzhong who were interested in the Han Dynasty.
Once this matter can be successfully completed, the Wei army in Guanzhong will become even more distressed due to internal and external troubles. When the time comes, who can dare to say that Mi Yang cannot find a chance to break out?
The main task is to act as a suspect, which is good, but it is understandable to achieve great results through one's own efforts.
Mi Yang patiently explained his intention to Meng Da. In every aspect, Mi Yang's strategy would be of great benefit to his subsequent battles.
Just thinking that he was in danger, Meng Da never took the initiative to respond to Mi Yang.
Whoever wants to do this will do it.
He Mengda is not a loyal and patriotic person.
Seeing that Meng Da had been refusing to respond to him, Mi Yang couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.
But just like cutting off his hair to earn Cao Ren, this matter cannot be forcefully ordered. Meng Da must do it voluntarily, so as to achieve the greatest effect.
Otherwise, it may be self-defeating.
But since Mi Yang can come up with this strategy, he naturally has a way to manipulate Meng Da.
Meng Da has experience in the routine.
Mi Yang gradually stopped persuading, and then he sighed softly:
"When His Majesty was at Yangping Pass, he asked Gu who he should be the Sima when Gukai Mansion is in charge of affairs in the future.
Gu Gu has been hesitant about this matter and has not yet found a suitable candidate in his mind.
In the end, I can only say to His Majesty that it will be good if I can be promoted based on my merits in the future.
I just don’t know who will become Gu’s first Sima in the future? "
Although Mi Yang's tone was full of doubts, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Meng Da.
After listening to Mi Yang's words, Meng Da's breathing became rapid.
Almost instantly, the gloomy look on Meng Da's face disappeared, and a firm and resolute look appeared on his face.
Meng Da no longer had any doubts and fears. He took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Mi Yang: "Since the general has given orders, how can I fail to obey and die?"
At this moment, Meng Da seemed to be exuding the light of a "loyal minister" all over his body.
He is disloyal to the emperor and patriotic, but he is greedy for power!
He's going to book this Fufeng County!
