Chapter 424: Three-way Rush Yellow Sparrow is behind
After learning the news that Meng Huo was released by Zhuge Liang, not only Gao Ding, but also Yonghong, who had always been an ally with Meng Huo, was also full of suspicions.
It's no wonder that Gao Ding and Yonghong are ruthless, it's really too unbelievable to capture and double vertically.
When Meng Huo was released by Zhuge Liang for the first time before, Gao Ding and Yonghong may still think that Zhuge Liang is selling his reputation and buying people's hearts.
But when Zhuge Liang was released to Meng Shu for the second time, a sense of crisis emerged in Gao Ding and Yonghong's hearts.
A reasonable inference suddenly appeared in the hearts of Gao Ding and Yonghong.
Thinking of this, Gao Ding and Yonghong couldn't help but glance at each other.
Maybe the two of them couldn't understand each other, but out of self-preservation, they faintly reached a consensus in the eyes of the two at this time.
No matter what kind of plan Zhuge Liang has, and no matter whether Zhuge Liang and Meng Huo have an ulterior deal, Meng Huo will never be able to trust him anymore.
Under this consensus, Gao Ding did not order the city gate to be opened and Meng Shu entered the city.
Thinking that Meng was celebrating his escape, he ordered a feast to be held in the barracks outside the city gates.
As an ally of Meng Huo, Yonghong did not have the slightest objection to Gao Ding's arrangement.
As the de facto ruler of Qiongdu County, Gao Ding's order was quickly conveyed to Meng Huo, who had already arrived outside the city gate.
After coming to the city gate, Meng was dissatisfied when he saw that Gao Ding did not order the city gate to be opened.
Didn't he escape from the enemy camp "with great difficulty" in order to assist Gao Ding?
But as the object of his assistance, he did not open the city gate to greet him after he returned from leading the army, which made Meng Shu feel that Gao Ding was too uninteresting.
However, Meng Shu immediately learned about Gao Ding's plan, and Meng Shu instinctively felt that something was wrong with Gao Ding's plan, but he didn't think much about it at first.
He also knew that he was a defeated general, so he did not have any objections to Gao Ding's plan.
With no objection from Meng Huo, the leaders of the three rebels soon reunited in the barracks outside the city.
A series of delicious food and wine were placed on the table of the three leaders, but it should have been a banquet full of laughter, but at this time, there was no half of the relaxed atmosphere.
Because Gao Ding and Yonghong both came to this banquet with troops, this is fundamentally different from the previous meeting scene of the three leaders.
Since the aliens had a communal meal, the three rebel leaders sat down at a long table.
But invisibly, Gao Ding and Yonghong seemed to deliberately keep a certain distance from Meng Huo, but the two of them sat quite close.
Gao Ding and Yonghong's distrust of Meng Huo is vividly reflected in the distance between the seats.
Not to mention that behind them at this moment, there were all their own people standing with sharp blades in their hands.
Meng was able to lead a group of Yi people to build a great reputation in Nanzhong, and he had long seen betrayal of each other among other races.
Moreover, the current performance of Gao Ding and Yonghong is enough to be called abnormal.
Meng Shu held the wine glass in his hand and kept staring at Gao Ding and Yonghong in front of him, this scene reminded him of a story that his ancestors told him - Hongmen Banquet.
Thinking of this story, Meng Huo, he looked at Gao Ding and Yonghong's eyes, and couldn't help but narrow.
This is the subconscious reaction of wild beasts when they encounter danger.
Meng Huo didn't feel wrong, just after the subordinates put all the wine and food on the long table, they regarded Qiongdu as the base camp of Gao Ding, and couldn't help but ask Meng Shudao:
"Why did Zhuge Villager let King Meng return for the second time?"
Gao Ding is a Yi person, he does not understand the unique language skills between the Han people, he only knows that if he has any doubts in his heart, he must ask them directly.
But what Gao Ding didn't know was that because he had long had doubts about Meng Huo in his heart, when he asked this sentence, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his tone.
After hearing Gao Ding's questioning, Meng Huo had no idea of moving chopsticks to the delicacies in front of him.
There are many poisonous insects in Nanzhong, which also leads to frequent poisoning incidents in Nanzhong.
Didn't the last barbarian king of the Gaoding tribe be poisoned by Gaoding?
So who dares to guarantee that Gao Ding will not repeat his old tricks at today's banquet.
At this moment, not only Gao Ding was suspicious of Meng Huo, but Meng Huo also had doubts about Gao Ding and Yonghong.
In Nanzhong, where the law of the jungle eats the strong, trust is already very cheap.
In the face of Gao Ding's questioning, Meng Shu fell into silence.
At this time, Meng Shoufang realized that Gao Ding and Yonghong were suspicious of him for something.
It's not that he doesn't want to defend himself, it's just that he doesn't know how to defend himself in this matter.
Could it be that Zhuge Liang is so benevolent and righteous?
Such a ridiculous-sounding reason, how could Gao Ding and Yonghong believe it?
It's not that Meng Shu didn't doubt Zhuge Liang's intention to release him.
But even if there were some doubts in his heart, in the face of Zhuge Liang's release, he would not have refused.
Because he is the patriarch of a Yi tribe, for the sake of his own people, Meng Shu will not let go of any chance to survive.
Otherwise, even if Gao Ding and Yonghong didn't doubt him, once they knew that they would not have a way out, then the first thing the two of them thought about was not to avenge him.
They will swallow his men as soon as possible, and this is the most frequent brutal annexation struggle in the South.
And Meng Huo's silence fell in the eyes of Gao Ding and Yonghong, which was thought by them to be a manifestation of Meng Huo's ghost.
It's worth it!
Gao Ding's eyes suddenly turned cold.
As he expected.
Even Yonghong's eyes when he looked at Meng Shu became indifferent.
After having the answer in his heart, Yonghong felt as if he couldn't figure it out before, why did he figure it out all at once.
During the Battle of Yandao, it was Meng who advocated fighting generals, and the result was a great defeat for Gaoding.
During the night attack last night, Yonghong thought that his analysis was seamless, but Zhuge Liang seemed to know about it earlier, and actually set up an ambush in the Han army camp.
These piles one by one, if you look at them individually, they will not be too suspicious, but if they are combined, Meng Shouyi's identity is simply about to come out.
No force will show mercy to traitors.
Thinking of this, Yonghong said to Meng Shu: "What kind of benefits did Zhuge Villager give you, so that you can betray us, are you worthy of your ancestors like this?" ”
Yonghong's words were full of coldness.
When Yonghong said this sentence, it meant that he and Meng Huo had openly torn their faces.
In the face of Yonghong's questioning, Meng Shu continued to respond with silence.
He looked around him.
Yonghong and Gaoding's subordinates had already faintly surrounded him, but thanks to Zhuge Liang's failure to detain his three thousand sons, he was not powerless at this moment.
What's more, in the city of Qiongdu, there are thousands of his subordinates.
If he really fights, he will not necessarily lose.
Meng Huo, who grew up experiencing betrayal, naturally has a keen judgment for a dangerous scene like the Hongmen Banquet.
And after knowing that Yonghong and Gao Ding would not be good with him today, Meng Shu was also a decisive character.
Just when Yonghong was still thinking about slashing Meng Huo's heart with words, Meng Huo suddenly stood up and pulled out the long knife on his waist and slashed at Yonghong, who was closest to him.
Former allies have become enemies at this moment.
Meng Huo's sudden attack was somewhat unexpected by Yonghong, but he was also on guard against Meng Huo, so in the face of the sharp blade that came quickly, Yonghong quickly rolled on the ground and avoided it.
After dodging Meng Huo's sharp blade raid, Yonghong was furious.
After he stood up, he also drew the long knife at his waist and slashed towards Meng Huo.
Soon after, the blades of Yonghong and Meng Huo clashed together, emitting a piercing roar.
The battle between Yonghong and Meng Huo greatly exceeded the expectations of the two soldiers.
However, it is not uncommon for allies to stab each other in Nanzhong, so after a moment of stunnedness, the subordinates on both sides quickly killed each other.
A moment later, there were bursts of-for-tat shouts of killing in the barracks.
Most of Yonghong's subordinates were Han Chinese, and most of Meng Huo's subordinates were Yi people, so if you judge from the shouting and killing alone, people who don't know the inside story still think that the Han army killed in.
When Yonghong and Meng Huo had a fight, Gao Ding was already under the cover of his subordinates and left the battlefield in time.
When he came to the battlefield, Gao Ding looked at the two sides that had already been killed in full swing, and he was indifferent to the suggestions of his cronies.
The cronies suggested that Gao Ding should lead his army to help Yonghong in time, so as to quell Meng Huo's rebellion as soon as possible.
But in the face of this suggestion, Gao Ding has a different view.
It is true that he and Yonghong had a consensus before, but the current situation has made Gao Ding have a different idea.
He and Yonghong were already at odds, and although Yonghong currently had more troops than Meng Huo, Meng Huo had more fierce generals, and the two sides were temporarily evenly matched.
In this case, why didn't he sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and after Yonghong and Meng were both defeated, he would come and reap the benefits of the fisherman?
In history, when Zhuge Liang was on his southern expedition, Gao Ding led the army to attack and kill Yonghong with similar ideas.
In this regard, whether in history or in the world, the Gao Ding of the Yi people is still as short-sighted as ever.
Under Gao Ding's mentality of deliberately sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, the two subordinates of Yonghong and Meng Shu in the military camp were inseparable.
Meng Yu knew that there were few people on his side, so it was not good for him to fight a protracted war, not to mention that there was a Gao Ding on the side.
What is Gao Ding's idea, Meng Shu is very clear.
If he wanted to prevent his side from losing in today's firefight, Meng Xu knew that he had to fight quickly.
So Meng Shu personally led the three knots of the golden ring in his clan, Dong Dana, Ah Huilan, and the busy tooth chief, and other fierce generals, all the way towards Yonghong's location.
The fierce generals in the Meng Huo clan may be vulnerable to Zhao Yun, but in this southern land, they are also fierce generals who have been famous for a long time.
The fierce general rushed to kill, which is naturally extraordinary.
I saw that under the leadership of Meng Shu, the four generals continued to kill Yonghong as if they had turned into a sharp knife.
And after Yonghong saw Meng Huo and the four fierce barbarians killing him, and the subordinates along the way were knocked down like chopping melons and vegetables, the alarm bell in his heart sounded.
In the past, he and Meng Huo were allies, and he didn't feel deeply about the bravery of the fierce generals under his command.
But when the two sides became enemies, he deeply realized what kind of effect the fierce general could play in a war of hand-to-hand combat.
Yonghong, who was almost frightened, ordered his subordinates to surround him and protect him.
On the other hand, he constantly sent people to ask Gao Ding for help.
However, many people who asked for help were sent, and it was clear that Gaoding's troops were not far away, but he never had the intention of leading the army to support.
At this moment, Gao Ding is probably dreaming of reunifying South China.
And just when Gao Ding was immersed in a wonderful fantasy, a Yi man stumbled to Gao Ding and knelt down in front of him, and told him something that shocked him.
"There are a lot, a lot of Han troops are killing towards Qiongdu County."
After hearing the news, Gao Ding was taken aback.
He hurriedly jumped on the high ground and looked in the direction of the Han army's camp.
Originally, the Han army camp was nearly ten miles away from Qiongdu County, even if the Gaoding station was high, it was difficult for him to see the Han army under the cover of dense forests.
But when Gao Ding was now standing on the high ground, he saw that not far away, a large number of Han troops were killing in this place.
This sudden scene made Gao Ding immediately give the order to attack his subordinates.
It's just that the object of Gao Ding's order to attack is not the large number of Han troops who are rushing towards this place, but the Meng Huo troops who are fighting fiercely with the Yonghong tribe.
Gao Ding is also the one who leads the troops, he knows that the troops of Yonghong and Meng Shu in the military camp are now fighting fiercely, and in this case, it is difficult for Yonghong to protect himself, how can he lead his troops to form a formation against the Han army.
If the Han army was allowed to rush into the barracks, then Yonghong's troops would collapse in an instant.
And if Yonghong's army collapses and it is difficult to support it alone, how can his subordinates hold Qiongdu County?
You must know that in Qiongdu County, there are still some soldiers and horses of Meng Huo.
At this moment, the idea of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight had disappeared in Gao Ding's mind, and he now only thought about quickly breaking through Meng Huo's headquarters before the Han army arrived, and then joining forces with Yonghong and quickly returning to Qiongdu County to defend the turtle.
Only by taking Meng Huo's head can Gao Ding make Meng Huo's troops in Qiongdu completely lose their backbone and accept his command.
Under Gao Ding's hurried command, his men soon joined the battlefield.
When Gao Ding's troops joined the battlefield, Meng Huo's side, which was at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, immediately felt a lot of pressure.
But Gao Ding's sudden addition of the army also made Meng Shu feel a little suspicious.
It's just that at this time, Meng Shu didn't have time to think about it, he could only command his troops to slowly form a formation and hold on.
Now Meng Huo only hoped that the troops he left behind in the city would come out to assist him in time after hearing the shouts of killing from the military camp outside the city.
Otherwise, his 200 catties of horizontal meat today may have to be confessed here.
Although Meng Shu commanded the crowd to form a formation in time, but in the face of Yonghong and Gaoding, who were much more numerous than him, Meng Huo was still gradually unable to do anything.
If it weren't for the fact that there were several fierce generals on his side, I am afraid that he would have been defeated by the Yonghong and Gaoding coalition forces.
However, as time passed bit by bit, Meng Shu in the battlefield seemed to hear a shout of killing that did not exist on this side of the battlefield.
The shouting and killing sound went from far to near, from small to loud.
