After sending Meng Nan out, Zhang Tong said to Yang Hu in confusion: "Since the governor has captured Meng Li, why did he let him go? Isn't this going to let the tiger return to the mountain?"

Yang Hu smiled leisurely and said, "Zichou, don't you hear the story of Zhuge Liang of Shu's country capturing Meng Huo seven times? Your Majesty had a secret order before. This time, this expedition to the Southern Central, the barbarians should focus on the priority. Only by convinced them can they not rebel again in the future. Although Meng Li was defeated and captured, he may not be willing to accept his expression. So today I followed Zhuge Liang and deliberately indulged him. However, Meng Nan is more aware of the current affairs and can be used more in the future."

The incident of Zhuge Liang's seven capture of Meng Huo and pacifying the Southern Central was once said to be a beautiful story in the world. Although Wei and Shu were in opposition, they often belittled Zhuge Liang, Yang Hu, a military master, obviously did not think so. Zhuge Liang's pacification of the Southern Central and his wisdom was indeed worthy of imitation by future generations.

What's more, Cao Liang repeatedly instructed that when dealing with the barbarians in the South Central, they could not crush them with force like when dealing with the Xianbei of the Northern Xiongnu. After all, the terrain of the South Central was complicated, and the Wei court could not have sent heavy troops in the South Central for a long time. Although these barbarians can be defeated now, as long as the Wei army leaves, the barbarians rebel again and repeat, when will the end be the end? The military and financial resources that the court spent in the South Central will be immeasurable.

Therefore, Cao Liang asked Yang Hu to deal with the barbarians and learn from Zhuge Liang that attacking the city is the best and attacking the heart is the best. Only by convinced by the barbarians can we get long-term peace and stability in the border areas.

Although the Wei army won a great victory this time and wiped out more than 50,000 barbarians, Yang Hu clearly saw that Meng Li was not convinced, so Yang Hu decided to release him and then let him lead his troops to fight again. Since he was not convinced, he would fight until he was subdued.

Meng Li left Yuhou Valley and rode alone on the desolate and remote ancient road. A wolf roar came from his ears. Meng Li couldn't help but feel a trembling heart. Meng Li lived in a rich and fauna since he was a child. When he entered, he was a group of slaves and guards, but now he was alone, and he was in this remote place, which inevitably made him afraid.

If he returned to Yuhougu at this time, he would definitely be even more ridiculed by the Wei people. So even if the road ahead is unpredictable, Meng Li still moved forward without hesitation.

Meng Li has heard of Meng Huo's story of being captured by Zhuge Liang more than once in his life, and he has heard Meng Huo tell him personally. Although it seems that this is the greatest shame in Meng Huo's life, Meng Huo does not seem to feel it at all. Instead, he talks about it with relish and tells it to his children repeatedly, and praises Zhuge Liang for being a great benevolence and righteousness. Meng Huo asked his children to be loyal to Shu Han in the future and never betray them.

To be honest, Zhuge Liang was really good to Meng Huo. If it were someone else, he would have given him so many opportunities. Meng Huo rebelled many times in a row, but he was probably the leader of the people. Moreover, after Meng Huo surrendered, Zhuge Liang ignored the past and let Meng Huo continue to command the barbarian tribes in the South Central China, and also appointed him as the Chief Censor. Meng Huo was grateful to Zhuge Liang throughout his life and never rebelled.

Meng Li had long been tired of hearing the story of the seven-capture and seven-pronged spear. In his opinion, Meng Huo was completely brainwashed by Zhuge Liang. Such a shameful thing is worthy of his relish. If it were him, he would rather commit suicide than be insulted.

Today, when Yang Hu let him go, Meng Li couldn't help but sneer secretly. It seemed that Yang Hu was also copying the same as he wanted to learn from Zhuge Liang.

But Meng Li was not his father Meng Huo, who was repeatedly humiliated by Zhuge Liang, but he was not ashamed and complacent after all. For Meng Li, being captured this time was the greatest shame in his life. Even if Yang Hu let him go, Meng Li would not be grateful for him at all, but would be even more resentful.

If you don’t take this revenge, you will not be a human being!

Especially Meng Nan actually deviated from him this time, he would rather surrender to Yang Hu than leave with him. He did not know what kind of ecstasy Yang Hu had given him, and he actually made him rather betray his brotherly feelings and defect to Wei.

Meng Li couldn't understand why Meng Nan did this. Logically speaking, when they were surrounded and captured by the Wei army in Yuhougu yesterday, Meng Nan had not shown such emotions. After only one day, Meng Nan seemed to have become a different person. If he hadn't been bewitched by the Wei army, would he become like this?

Detaining the Barbarian War members, dividing their brotherly feelings, and trying to impress Meng Li through this, is simply a daydream!

Meng Li is not a person who can surrender easily. He secretly swore that he must revenge his shame today.

So even if he is alone and has a difficult future, Meng Li will never hesitate. He would rather be eaten by a wolf and swallowed by a tiger than turn around and wave his tail to beg for mercy at the Wei army.

Meng Li still has this pride. He identified the direction and headed south all the way to Bengu.

After not walking for twenty or thirty miles, he heard noisy footsteps suddenly coming from the front. Meng Li was shocked. Could it be that Yang Hu was deliberately playing the role of playing hard to get, and he opened his mind to let him go, ambush people and intercept them halfway, conspiring to harm him?

Meng Li quickly dismounted and hid behind a bush, wanting to see what was going on.

Soon, he saw a group of people walking towards him, dressed in fancy clothes. It was obvious that they were the clothes of their barbarian soldiers. Someone was talking loudly and his accent was also the barbarian language in the South China. Meng Li couldn't help but be overjoyed. It turned out that this was their own team?

Just as she was about to go out to meet, Meng Li suddenly felt his heart moving and thought, what if this was a trap?

You should know that in the battle of Dianchi Lake, the Wei army captured a lot of barbarian soldiers, and even Meng Nan could surrender willingly, let alone those tribal chiefs and ordinary barbarians who were afraid of life and death. If they were assigned by Yang Hu and were ambushed here to capture him, now when he appeared, wouldn’t he just fall into the trap?

So Meng Li temporarily endured it and decided to look at the truth and talk about it. If it was really someone sent by Yang Hu, he would have to hide it himself and never fall into their hands. If it was his own person, there would be no problem meeting him later.

So Meng Li lurked in the bushes. The area was lush with vegetation, and there was no problem hiding a person. Meng Li deliberately tied the war horse to a deeper part of the jungle, where there was grass. The war horse quietly went to eat grass, so no movement would happen.

Meng Li approached the team and looked quietly through the gaps in the bushes to see where this barbarian soldier came from.
