200.Mrs. Blossom's Red Face (14)
After Meng Xuanzhe arrived at the Sword Gate, he first promoted all those people to the next level according to the list given to him by Li Hao, and specially transferred some people to his side to do things. After that, the big favors continued, and he looked like he was reusing them to win them over.
Li Hao originally wanted to observe Meng Xuanzhe more, but he was frustrated on Meng Chang's side. Although Meng Chang did not directly express his snub to him, his feeling has always been very accurate, and Meng Chang did not listen to him on the issue of the generals sent to the Sword Gate, which made him feel a sense of crisis. In order to make a difference in the battle of Shu Song, he had no choice but to choose to use Meng Xuanzhe. So he also handed over the list of the most important people he had buried in the Sword Gate to Meng Xuanzhe, hoping that Meng Xuanzhe could treat them like other people of his own and transfer them to more important positions.
Meng Xuanzhe was so happy that he jumped up after getting the second list. He did reuse those people, but instead of moving them to more important positions, he transferred them all to his side, and arranged some work that seemed good but was not important. In order to prevent them from becoming suspicious, Meng Xuanzhe lied to them that this was temporary, and let them stay by his side for a few days, so that the two guards of the Sword Gate would think that they were his own people and then arrange better positions for them, so that it would be easier for others to accept them.
No one found such an arrangement problematic. They were all fooled by Meng Xuanzhe.
It was only when the two armies faced each other that Meng Xuanzhe arrested them all before the war and secretly executed them. Li Hao didn't know about this until half a month after the start of the war. Because Meng Xuanzhe wiped out all his people, there was no one who even delivered the news to him in time. It wasn't until that time that he really realized that he might have been fooled.
