It is a taboo for the two armies to have their morale wavered in front of the formation. This is a truth that every general and even soldier understands.
Meng Jue knew Cao Yan's temper, so he could imagine how difficult it would be to get this stupid donkey to surrender.
Meng Jue actually had the mentality of giving it a try. He never thought that Cao Yan would surrender, it was just to disgust him.
If you try to improve Cao Yan's mentality, maybe it will work wonders when fighting later.
As the saying goes, mountains and streams are easy to rise and easy to recede, and they are easy to turn back and forth in the hearts of small people.
Meng Jue was acting like a complete villain at this time. He now hated Cao Yan very much and hated him for competing with him for the position of alliance leader.
At the same time, he also hated Nan Dian Country because it interrupted his plan and prevented him from returning to the base camp.
At this moment, Meng Jue was acting like a villain. Seeing that there was no hope of persuading him to surrender, he wanted to do the opposite, attack his weak points and demoralize his army.
How could Cao Yan not know what Meng Jue was thinking? He despised such insidious villains as Meng Jue the most.
But Cao Yan couldn't control his emotions and angrily pointed at Meng Jue and cursed:
"Shut up, you bitch, Meng Jue! Let's see how long you can keep it up, sooner or later you will die!"
Meng Jue is so playful and shameless that you can ridicule him. Let me see what you can do to me.
He knew that his provoking method had worked, and mocked: "Cao Yan, are you scared? Haha! If you have the ability, come over and kill me! Ah! Come on!"
Meng Jue looked like he wanted to be beaten. His purpose was simply to anger Cao Yan.
The people behind Meng Jue also laughed, whether they were laughing at Cao Yan or looking down on Meng Jue.
In fact, several Nanding Kingdom generals around Meng Jue secretly laughed in their hearts, this Meng Jue is really a scum!
Such a treacherous villain is not merciless in dealing with his own people. Such people cannot be reused and they have to be careful.
Cao Yan's eyes widened with anger, and his thick beard was trembling along with his cheeks. He was obviously very angry.
"you!"
But Song Qingji, who was behind Cao Yan at this time, saw clearly. Song Qingji knew that Meng Jue's initial persuasion to surrender was true.
But later, after Cao Yan made his position clear, Meng Jue felt that there was no hope of persuading him to surrender, so he used provocation to provoke Cao Yan.
I just didn't expect that idiot Cao Yan would be fooled. Cao Yan was furious at this time.
Seeing Cao Yan's anger, Song Qingji quickly stepped forward to hold Cao Yan. Song Qingji looked at Cao Yan and shook his head at him.
Song Qingji said calmly:
"Cao Yan! This is not the time to lose your temper. They are just trying to anger you and make you chaotic. You are not alone now. There are 30,000 soldiers behind you. Don't lose your temper because of small things. Meng Jue is a villain. Don’t take it seriously!”
Song Qingji sighed helplessly at the end.
How could Cao Yan not know what Meng Jue was thinking? It was just that he couldn't control his violent temper. Who could this person be? It was his mortal enemy Meng Jue.
Normally I would just ignore you, but now on the battlefield, it is difficult to end a tit-for-tat confrontation.
After hearing Song Qingji's words, Cao Yan thought for a moment and finally calmed down.
Cao Yan looked at Meng Jue fiercely and shouted loudly:
"Don't waste your breath on hypocrisy here. If you want to fight, fight. I, Cao Yan, stand upright and swear not to be that villain who defected!"
After speaking, Cao Yan turned around and left, but Li Mo, who was originally behind Cao Yan, became a little hesitant.
Li Mo turned around slowly, looking hesitant. He looked back at Meng Jue, not knowing what he was thinking.
Just when Cao Yan and his party were about to return to the main force, Li Mo suddenly turned around and ran towards the direction of Meng Jue and the others.
Several generals were shocked when they suddenly saw Li Mo running away. Cao Yan even roared:
"Li Mo, what do you want to do? You are looking for death!"
Cao Yan was furious. He had been teased by Meng Jue just now, and now Li Mo was trying to escape.
Cao Yan picked up the giant ax in his hand, jumped up, and struck Li Mo with the ax. Li Mo didn't expect Cao Yan to be so decisive.
Shocked in his heart, he felt a huge momentum locking him behind him.
Li Mo drew out his long sword and turned around, holding the sword across his chest, and the sound of steel clashing came.
Li Mo spurted out a mouthful of blood and flew backwards far away.
Meng Jue then struck Li Mo with his ax for the second time. Li Mo managed to get up, his expression changed greatly.
At this moment, he ignored Cao Yan and turned around and ran towards Meng Jue. He only had one thought at this moment, which was how to survive.
After much thought, Li Mo thought that the only way to go was to surrender. He saw that Meng Jue was fine now, so he decided not to sit still and wait for death.
At first, when Meng Jue saw someone running towards them, they thought they were coming to attack. However, what they never expected was that Cao Yan actually took action and killed this person.
Meng Jue recognized this person as Li Mo at a glance. It was obvious that the person in front of him was not here to commit an attack.
An imperceptible smile appeared on Meng Jue's lips, signaling the people next to him not to take action.
Li Mo ran away in a panic and was almost hit by Cao Yan several times.
Li Mo fled with great difficulty and was miserable, and after a while he finally came to Meng Jue.
Li Mo finally fell to the ground and Cao Yan's ax was behind him. Li Mo yelled, "Meng Jue, save me! I'm here to surrender!"
Cao Yan gritted his teeth, feeling extremely sad and angry.
"Ah! Li Mo, go to hell!"
Before Meng Jue had time to take action, the two people behind him suddenly rushed out.
The two of them worked together to block Cao Yan's giant axe. Seeing that the situation was not going well, Cao Yan quickly backed away, "Damn it!"
Finally, Cao Yan saw Meng Jue coming over to pick up Li Mo, and walked back talking and laughing.
Cao Yan's eyes were so red that he was about to bleed, and his breathing became rapid. He had never been so insulted.
The general under his command actually followed the enemy and walked away laughing and talking in front of him. If this spread, I'm afraid he would be laughed at by the entire Tang Dynasty.
The soldiers far behind Cao Yan and the others opened their mouths wide when they saw this scene. They couldn't believe it was true.
They never expected that one of their generals would choose to surrender to the enemy at this juncture.
Li Mo's betrayal caught everyone's expectations, causing panic among the people and dispersing the morale of the army.
Hainan was horrified when he saw this situation, and he hurriedly comforted him:
"Soldiers, don't be afraid. I have long seen that Li Mo is a treacherous villain. It is better to get rid of such a black sheep as soon as possible!"
Song Qingji also echoed:
"Soldiers, listen to me. What General Hainan said just now is right. Li Mo is naturally rebellious and defecting will be a matter of time. The purpose of our negotiation is to induce Li Mo to betray us."
"This person has a weak mind and is easily tempted. If this person is left in our army, it may be a disaster once the war starts. Now that he has betrayed the enemy, he may bring some disaster to the enemy."
"Will the enemy reuse such a person who betrays at will? It can make them suspicious of each other. You should put the overall situation first. As long as we persist until the end, we will have a chance to win."
