Nanyang County, Wudang County.

After Cao Cao seized Jingzhou in the thirteenth year of Jian'an, he divided Nanxiang and Wudang counties in the west of Nanyang County to establish Nanxiang County.

But just last year, Guan Yu, the former general of the Han Dynasty, launched the Battle of Xiangfan, and in the process of flooding the Forbidden Seventh Army, Nanxiang Taishou Fu Fang and Jingzhou Thorn Shi Hu Xiu surrendered to Guan Yu.

When Cao Cao learned of this, he was furious.

Later, after the armistice of Hanshui, Cao Cao considered that Nanxiang County would become a strategic location, so Nanxiang County was abolished.

The counties under the jurisdiction of Nanxiang County were reincorporated into Nanyang County, and Cao Ren led troops to garrison Nanyang and defend the south.

In Wudang County, Xiahou Shang was looking at the first letter sent by Meng Da in his hand.

Not long ago, the Wei army scouts in Wudang County were around Wudang County and found Deng Xian and Li Fu, two people sent by Meng Da to contact Xiahou Shang.

After Deng Xian and Li Fu were captured by the Wei army scouts, they immediately shouted that a secret letter had been delivered.

Seeing this, the Wei army scouts did not dare to slack off, and immediately escorted Deng Xian and Li Fu to Xiahou Shang.

And the Wei army scouts also handed over the secret letter of Meng Da found from Deng Xian to Xiahou Shang.

After Xiahou Shang read the secret letter from Meng Da, his first reaction was not surprise, but hesitation.

He didn't know much about Meng Da, so he summoned Man Favor.

After the arrival of the full favor, he introduced Meng Da in detail for Xiahou Shang.

After a general understanding of Meng Da's life history, Xiahou Shang picked up the letter of service written by Meng Da and looked at it carefully.

At this time, when he looked at the content of Meng Daxin, he was no longer hesitant, but had a trace of belief.

When the victory of the attack on the three eastern counties was in sight, Liu Bei suddenly sent Liu Feng to seize his military power.

After the Battle of Xiangfan, he was implicated by Liu Feng and deprived of all his subordinates, and was degraded to a small army under Miyang's tent

These various past events all verify the authenticity of the sixteen words in Meng Daxin's "reputation is not guaranteed, the trilogy does not exist, the eagle is not praised, and the five are pathetic".

Treat others with himself, if Xiahou Shang himself suddenly suffers from the monarch's invain, then he will naturally be full of resentment in his heart.

Moreover, Meng Da is not Liu Bei's pure minister.

The most important thing is that Xiahou Shang summoned Shen Yi's cronies who had fled from Xicheng before.

Shen Yi had had a lot of dealings with Meng Da before, and Shen Yi's cronies may have known Meng Da's nephew Deng Xian and his confidant Li Fu.

Later, under the identification of Shen Yi's cronies, the identities of Deng Xian and Li Fu were confirmed.

And according to Shen Yi's cronies, Deng Xian and Li Fu were inseparable from Meng Da in the past, and they were Meng Da's henchmen.

After hearing Shen Yi's cronies say this, Xiahou Shang's heart already had waves.

At least judging from the information collected so far, it is certain that Meng Da wrote this letter to him, and it is certain that he was sincere in his efforts.

Thinking of this, Xiahou Shang's heart was a little hot.

Meng Da is now one of the commanders of the three battalions under Mi Yang, and is entrusted by Mi Yang with the important task of garrisoning Hanshui Water Village.

If he surrenders, then his army will no longer be hindered from entering Xicheng, and it will be unimpeded.

This echoes the ambition hidden in Xiahou Shang's heart.

The matter of Toucheng should not only depend on the sincerity of the person who invests in Chengcheng, but also depends on whether the person has the capital to be accepted.

It's just that soon the heat in Xiahou Shang's heart was extinguished by full favor.

Man Chong admonished Xiahou Shang: "It is common sense that Meng Da has a grudge against Liu Bei, but Meng Da and Mi Yang's teacher Fa Zheng are friends.

And since Meng Da joined Mi Yang, Mi Yang has a lot of trust in him, so this matter needs to be considered in the long run."

Hearing the advice of the full favor, Xiahou Shang also nodded.

What Man Zhong said makes sense, and from Meng Da's first letter, it seems that he made friends in advance more meaning, which is also in line with Meng Da's character - prepare for himself in advance.

But although there were still doubts in his heart, Xiahou Shang did not completely forget about Meng Da's intention to befriend Toucheng.

His approach was to leave Meng Da's nephew Deng Xian in Wuzhong and put Li Fu back to continue to be the case

Munda contacted his messenger.

And when Li Fu returned to Meng Da's side, although Meng Da had sorrow on his face, as if he was distressed that Xiahou still didn't trust him, in fact, his heart was already happy.

As Mi Yang told him before, Xiahou is not an unwise person.

Even if Xiahou is not wise, there will be no shortage of resourceful people around him, so it is difficult to make Xiahou Shang believe with just one letter.

Therefore, whether the strategy of deceitful surrender and luring the enemy can succeed is not a day's work, but more depends on Xiahou Shang's reaction after receiving the first letter.

And now Xiahou Shang's reaction has proved that he has some belief in his heart.

Otherwise, his approach would not have been to leave Deng Xian as a hostage, and then release Li Fu back as a messenger.

Knowing this, Meng Da soon asked Li Fu to send a second letter to Wudang County as a messenger.

This letter was written by Mi Yang to Meng Da before, if Xiahou is not tempted, then this second letter is useless.

In order to keep it secret and for his own future, Meng Da did not inform others about his conspiracy with Mi Yang that night in accordance with Mi Yang's strict orders, and even Deng Xian and Li Fu did not know.

It was precisely because Deng Xian and Li Fu didn't know that Meng Da was pretending to serve Xiahou Shang, so when the two of them sent a letter to Xiahou Shang, they faced the interrogation of Man Zhong and Xiahou Shang, and all the answers were very in line with their normal reactions.

did not let Xiahou Shang and Man Chong see that there was anything abnormal.

When Li Fu came to Wuzhong with Meng Da's second letter, Xiahou Shang was a little impatient to meet Li Fu.

He took the second letter from Meng Da to him in Li Fu's hand and read it carefully:

"Da Yuan is far away in the corner, and the Han water is extinct; Grace and education, but not fortunate to be cared for, but among the mountains, respect Chen, afraid of the past despicable, did not see the faith.

The husband and the object are grateful, and the cause is born, the same in ancient and modern times; Dajin is in charge of a battalion, and his remaining wishes are sufficient, and he should have been remembered and repaid, and he will never be repeated.

Unexpectedly, Yang has never trusted, there are many generals and officers in the army, and there have been slanderous words circulating recently, and Yang has become suspicious.

The surname of the county is Shen, and the past is more often seen in Yang, but Yang hated the Shen family, condemned many times, and the Shen brothers tried their best to plead, and finally did not understand.

In order to get rid of the tyranny of Yangyang, Shen Yi made a secret plan to return to the north, but the unfortunate thing was revealed, and then there was a rebellion in Xicheng, the slaughter of thousands of people, and the punishment of babies!

Da saw Shen's sorrow, and looked at Yang outside and inside taboo, cruel and murderous, panicked in his heart, sweating like rain.

Although he is still alive, he is anxious and anxious, and he does not know when he will die.

People live in the world, like a white horse passing through the gap, and often holding danger, which can be said!

Today, although the people of this county are afraid of the power and surrender, most of the county people are hidden in the mountains and grasses, watching the gaps, and want to restore chaos.

Yang secretly hid dangerous aspirations, and often tried to go north, build ordnance, and transport grain, thinking that he was a military reserve.

Today, Yang Lingda is in charge of the army, because he wants to take responsibility for the after-effects, and he is also interested in killing Da.

After the overthrow of the Shen family, Yang Su was unprepared, if the Ming Gong entered the Han River from Wudang with 10,000 soldiers, he would open the water village, thinking that it should be internal.

Previously, the Shen family, before and after, succeeded and failed, from the ear of no foreign aid;

If the northern army raids the border, and the city is spread to the people, who doesn't want to follow?

The disaster is missing, the danger is to throw eggs, the future is promising, and the retreat is to blame for reckless death. The gains and losses are obvious, and there is no further hesitation.

If the crime is unexpected, one will fulfill Yang's wishes, and the other will put an end to the hearts of those who return to the north.

I hope that the Ming Gong will be aware of everything and give the secret report quickly. When you wait for your actions, you must respond."

After reading the second letter sent by Meng Da and Li Fu, Xiahou Shang's face was already full of surprise.

He had not forgotten the previous pampered exhortation, and he himself had doubts about this.

But now Meng Da has shown in his second letter what the reason for his betrayal of Mi Yang is.

Meng Da is saving himself!

The content of what Meng Daxin said is reasonable and well-founded, and many of the contents can be explored.

This made Xiahou Shang's heart more convinced of Meng Da's surrender.

In addition, Xiahou was still there before

When he arrived in Wancheng, Cao Ren had told him that Shen Yi had sent him a letter to ask for an internal response.

At that time, because Xicheng fell too quickly, Cao Ren's army had not yet set off.

Because of this past, Cao Ren expressed his indignation in front of Xiahou Shang.

In Cao Ren's opinion, because of his postponement of the march, a great opportunity to seize Hanxing County was lost.

Now that Meng Da is the second in Shenyi, he intends to be the internal response of the Wei army in Hanxing County, which makes Xiahou Shang a little more trusted, and at the same time, the fire in his heart is getting stronger and stronger.

If all this is true, then the time for him to make a name for himself is now!

After Xiahou Shang read Meng Da's second letter, he immediately began to write a reply to Meng Da.

As Mondasin says, he is now in a state of constant worry.

Even if Xiahou Shang didn't immediately send troops to join forces with Meng Dali now, he should send a letter back to Meng Da, expressing his intention to accept his surrender, so as to temporarily appease Meng Da.

Otherwise, as Meng Da said, if he was discovered by Mi Yang because he couldn't see hope, then Xiahou Shang would regret it later.

After Xiahou Shang wrote a reply to Meng Da, he immediately asked Li Fu to return to the water village with the letter and hand it over to Meng Da.

After Li Fu left, Xiahou Shang immediately gathered the generals and began to seriously discuss the matter of Meng Da's service.

After reading Meng Da's letterhead, some of the doubts in his original heart were gradually resolved.

But even after reading Meng Da's letter, his heart was a little shaken, he still suggested that Xiahou should still investigate in more detail, and not to be in trouble.

The character of full of pets is a very stable kind.。

In the face of Manzhong's repeated and repeated dissuasion, Xiahou Shang's heart no longer respected Manzhong as usual.

When Cao Ren wanted to send troops to Xicheng, he was dissuaded by Manzhong.

Under two consecutive dissuasions, Xiahou Shang felt that Manzhong was too conservative.

When the two armies face each other, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, how can we focus on stability in everything, and if so, will we wait for the enemy to kill himself?

As a general, you should be good at seizing the opportunity and attacking bravely, so that you can make immortal achievements.

It's like the first public security battle in Miyang.

Now Xiahou Shang's trust in Meng Da in his heart has overwhelmed his doubts.

Seeing Xiahou Shang's words, Man Zhong already had the idea of attacking, and he knew that he couldn't stop it.

Therefore, he hoped that Xiahou Shang would report the matter to Cao Ren and make Cao Ren decide.

Cao Rennai was personally appointed by Cao Pi and was the supreme governor of the three major theaters.

Xiahou Shang is under the jurisdiction of Cao Ren in terms of authority, so if he wants to have a military operation, then it is his duty to report to Cao Ren in advance.

Although Xiahou Shang was a little reluctant, he knew that even if he didn't report it, according to his favored character, he would report the matter to Cao Ren.

Besides, he still has doubts in his heart now, and he hasn't really made up his mind.

Therefore, Xiahou Shang followed the advice of Man Zhong and ordered someone to report Meng Da's desire to serve as an internal response to Cao Ren.

But Xiahou Shang not only sent a letter to Cao Ren, he also sent someone to carry a secret letter and send it to Luoyang to report to Cao Pi.

When Li Fu returned to Meng Da with Xiahou Shang's reply, Meng Da couldn't wait to open Xiahou Shang's reply and read it.

In Xiahou Shang's reply, he began to show his concern for Meng Da, and at the same time, he also revealed in his words the meaning of letting Meng Daduo persist for a while.

From Xiahou Shang's reply, it can be known that he has more and more trust in Meng Da's intention to serve in his heart.

However, in Xiahou Shang's reply, most of them were just words of comfort and comfort, and he did not begin to discuss "big things together" with him, which shows that Xiahou Shang still has doubts in his heart.

When he learned of this situation, Meng Da ordered Li Fu to go down first to rest.

Then he himself left the water village alone in the middle of the night and went to the county town to meet Mi Yang.

After learning that Meng Da asked to see him, Mi Yang immediately met him.

In front of Mi Yang, Meng Da respectfully presented Xiahou Shang's reply.

When Mi Yang read Xiahou Shang's reply, his mind kept thinking about how to go next.

At present, Xiahou Shang is obviously tempted, but Cao Wei has many talents, and he still can't take it lightly.

After thinking about it, Mi Yang whispered to Meng Da.

When Meng Da listened to Mi Yang's words, an incredible look appeared on his face.

He never thought that Mi Yang would let him do this.

But Meng Da looked at Mi Yang's determined and expectant look, he thought that he had even sent his nephew out, and at this time he had no way out, so he could only bow to Mi Yang to express his acceptance.

Then Mi Yang ordered Meng Da to go back to the water village to rest first, waiting for his next instructions.

After Meng Da left, Mi Yang immediately summoned Ding Feng.

Ding Feng is the governor of Hanxing, and his main task is to inspect the counties in the county and investigate the female deceit.

However, because there are not many counties under the jurisdiction of Hanxing County, and Mi Yang is both a Taishou and the chief general of an army, Mi Yang also asked Ding Feng to assist Wang An in investigating lawlessness in the army.

The rumors about Meng Da's disloyalty that had been circulating in Hanxing County before were released by Ding Feng at the behest of Mi Yang.

After Ding Feng arrived, Mi Yang said to Ding Feng, "If someone is unfaithful to me, what will Chongye do?"

Facing Mi Yang's inquiry, a look of anger immediately appeared on Ding Feng's face.

He guessed that the person Mi Yang was talking about might be Meng Da.

Before Mi Yang asked him to spread rumors of Meng Da's disloyalty, Ding Feng felt that Mi Yang might have noticed Meng Da's disloyalty in some ways.

So he let himself create public opinion first, so as to prepare for his next capture of Meng Da.

Mi Yang is his benefactor who gave the word, and Ding Feng replied categorically to Mi Yang's inquiry:

"I am willing to die for the general!"

After hearing Ding Feng's words, Mi Yang smiled and nodded.
