Mi Han

Chapter 330
Xia Houshang thought that the Han army was here to take his life, just as others thought.

Xia Houshang, who had a strong thought of revenge in his heart, was of course unwilling to stand still.

So at this moment, the thought of fighting back flashed in his heart.

Perhaps it was because of Liu Bei's order, or Mi Yang was not a person who treated the captives harshly.

So since Xia Houshang and others were imprisoned in this courtyard, except for the restriction of their personal freedom, their diet has never been withheld or treated poorly.

They were not bound by ropes or chains.

In Xia Houshang's view, Mi Yang's views are undoubtedly a manifestation of his arrogance.

Did Mi Yang really think that after being captured by him, Xia Houshang would be devastated like Chang Diao and others, and would be willing to let him slaughter the fish on the case?
If Mi Yang thinks this way, it is a big mistake.

Out of the mentality of not wanting to stand still, Xia Houshang exerted more force on his right hand holding the wooden stick.

Even the way he looked at the approaching Han army in front of him gradually became colder.

If you can get into trouble violently, it is not difficult to snatch a weapon from the ordinary soldier of the Han army in front of you.

There were more than a dozen Wei generals who were imprisoned here with him.

And if you have a sharp blade in your hand, and then use your own identity to command the rest of the Wei generals to attack together, it is not impossible to charge out of the scattered formation of more than a hundred Han troops.

Just when this kind of thought gradually emerged in Xiahoushang's mind, Man Chong, who was not far away from Xiahoushang and had been paying attention to him, had already noticed the abnormality in Xiahoushang's physical reaction.

Man Chong has experienced so many things in his life, when he found out that Xiahoushang was abnormal, he guessed what Xiahoushang was thinking in almost an instant.

At this moment, Meng Da, who had been observing the situation in the field, seemed to have noticed something.

With a hint of coldness at the corner of his mouth, he slowly put his hand on the war drum at his waist.

But before Meng Da picked up the war drum from his waist, Man Chong, who felt something bad was going to happen, immediately pretended to faint, and staggered a few steps towards Xia Houshang.

Not to mention Meng Da, even Xia Houshang, who was ready to make a fuss, did not expect this sudden scene.

But facing Man Chong rushing towards him, because of the respect in his heart, Xia Houshang subconsciously took a step forward and hugged Man Chong's body that was about to fall.

And when Man Chong leaned on Xia Houshang's body, Man Chong immediately reminded Xia Houshang in a low voice:
"Meng Da has a war drum around his waist."

After hearing Man Chong's reminder, Xia Houshang only realized later that Meng Da had a war drum tied around his waist, and at this moment his hands were already on the drum.

Meng Da's reaction set off alarm bells in Xia Houshang's heart.

The effect of war drums is the same throughout the world.

Currently there are only a hundred or so Han troops in the arena, and Meng Da doesn't need to use war drums to command them.

So the only explanation for Meng Da's action is that there may be Han troops outside the courtyard that he doesn't know about!
After realizing this, most of the fantasies in his mind were immediately dispelled by surprise.

After Man Chong said that, he whispered to Xia Houshang: "The situation is unknown! Don't be impulsive!"

What Man Chong means is that although the Han army seems to be coming here with bad intentions, they still don't know their real intentions after all.

Now how could Xia Houshang carry out a thing that is almost certain to die for the unsure purpose of coming?
Man Chong's two reminders made Xia Houshang completely wake up from his fantasy.

He immediately threw away the wooden stick in his hand, and after straightening Man Chong's figure, he gave him a grateful look.

Man Chong's reminder to Xia Houshang happened very quickly.

Although Man Chong's actions just now were beyond the expectations of all the Han soldiers.

But they, who had not received Meng Da's latest order, hesitated for a while, and quickly stepped forward to separate Xia Houshang from Man Chong, and then tied them with ropes one after another.

It's just that Xia Houshang didn't have any intention of resisting at this time.

Seeing Xia Houshang let his soldiers be bound, Meng Da's face showed some strangeness.

He looked at Man Chong with eyes full of deep meaning.

Thinking that Xia Houshang will behave differently before and after coming, it should be Man Chong who reminded him of something in Xiahoushang's ear.

But even though he guessed this, Meng Da still pulled his hand away from the drum.

If Xia Houshang dared to resist and create chaos, then he made a decisive decision and led the crowd to kill him. This is not a mistake but a merit.

But now that Xia Houshang is doing this, he has no reason to do it.

After all, what Mi Yang wants is a living person, not a corpse.

Now Meng Da did not dare to disobey Mi Yang's order.

With Xia Houshang and other Wei generals tied up, they were quickly escorted out of the courtyard by the Han army behind them.

Outside the courtyard, there are more than a dozen prison cars parked at the moment.

When Xia Houshang and others were escorted to their own prison car one by one, what they saw around them made them all tremble.

Teams of Han soldiers in solid clothes stood like sculptures, standing under the outer wall of the courtyard, with no emotion in their eyes.

The Han army under the outer wall is numerous in shape, and the number of people watching is at least nearly a thousand.

With so many Han soldiers on duty outside the courtyard, it is self-evident what their past tasks were.

If one of them dared to have a crooked mind in the past, then
Qi Qi thought of this, Xia Houshang and the others all felt chills in their hearts. In the past, they only thought that Mi Yang didn't deploy heavy troops in the courtyard because he was too arrogant.

Thinking about it now, it's not that Mi Yang is arrogant.

It was Mi Yang who had absolute confidence and held them firmly in his hands.

After seeing this scene, Xia Houshang felt a great sense of gratitude in his heart.

Among the Wei generals, only Man Chong didn't show much surprise on his face after seeing this scene.

He looked at the tall buildings outside the courtyard with complicated eyes, and finally let out a long sigh in his heart.

Although they are not in prison, they have always been the garden birds kept in the palm of Mi Yang.

What is a bird in the yard?
If there is no order from the master, even if they have wings, those who leave the hospital will lose their wings and die!

After a period of trekking, the team of captives escorted by Meng Da came to the foreign country of Champion Hou.

From Xicheng to Xinye, there are generally two routes.

One is the usual one that goes straight down the Han River to Xiangyang, and then goes north to Xinye.

The second route will take some detours, and it also starts from the waterway, but the direction is changed to go north first, and then go east along the water.

Among these two routes, Meng Da unexpectedly chose the second route.

Meng Da did this because, that is, in the second route, the escort team he led would pass through the champion country.

The reason why Meng Da wanted the escort team he led to pass through the champion Hou country was because he was the fief of Luyang Township Marquis, and he was in the champion Hou country.

In the first battle of Xicheng, Mi Yang was able to win a big victory, the first victory was Mi Yang, and the second victory was Meng Da.

And after that battle spread throughout Sichuan, Meng Da's feat of seducing the enemy also gained him a wave of fame.

Mi Yang is not one to break his word.

Under the praise of Mi Yang's letter and Meng Da's great contribution to the establishment, Liu Bei's award to Meng Da was the highest among the generals in Yibei except Mi Yang.

General Anbei, Marquis of Luyang Township, a reward of a thousand catties and a hundred pieces of brocade
Undoubtedly, these rewards greatly satisfied Meng Da's heart.

It's just that Meng Da has a characteristic, that is, he comes from a famous family, and he doesn't look down on Zhang Yi, Deng Ai, Ding Feng and other colleagues from the bottom of his heart.

In order to further demonstrate his contribution or be different, Meng Dacai chose this route specially.

When the fleet escorting the captives passed the champion Hou's country, Meng Da, under the guidance of the guide, saw Luyang Township in the distance with smoke rising from the kitchen.

Although because of the distance, Meng Da couldn't see the whole picture of Luyang Township clearly.

Even though Meng Da is currently the owner of Luyang Township only in name, he still had a look of great satisfaction on his face when he saw Luyang Township from a distance.

The Marquis of a Township, in terms of title alone, he is now a serious Marquis.

And in order to satisfy more vanity, Meng Da specially asked all the Han soldiers to shout the title of Marquis of Luyang Township at this time, as if he was afraid that others would not know about it.

When the other Han generals on the boat heard the shouts, they couldn't guess what Meng Da was thinking.

After they heard it, envy appeared on the faces of most of them.

It's just that when General Wei who was imprisoned in the prison car heard the shouts, Man Chong among them couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

"idiot."

Meng Da's high-profile actions will bring him a lot of envy and glory for the time being.

But in the long run, in the eyes of Man Chong, who has been in the officialdom for a long time, this is a rather stupid thing.

If you don't want red sandalwood and want to show off in the forest, it is actually a way to bring disaster.

After Xia Houshang heard the shouts, he was so angry that he almost fainted.

The same judgment as that of Man Chong emerged in his heart, but compared to Man Chong, there was still a sense of shame emerging in his heart.

How could he be obsessed with ghosts and regard people like Meng Da as his confidant?

Thinking of this, Xiahou Shang was so angry that he almost gritted his teeth.

Meng Da didn't know the reaction of Man Chong and Xia Houshang. His mind was drawn by the majestic city that appeared in his eyes.

Champion Hou Guo!

This county was originally built by Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty for Huo Da Sima.

Based on Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty's love for Sima Huo, the city was built magnificently.

And the nominal owner of this city is Mi Yang, Meng Da's immediate boss.

Looking at the ever-increasing county town in front of him, Meng Da showed a huge envy on his face.

A real man should own such a city as a city of food!
But envy is envy, Meng Da dare not feel any jealousy towards Mi Yang in his heart.

After all, with Mi Yang's achievements in the past, it is only natural for him to acquire such a city and become a city of food.

There is only one thought in Meng Da's mind now, and that is to follow Mi Yang all the time and make more contributions, so that the ambition in his heart today can be realized one day.

To realize this ambition, the first thing Meng Da has to do is to hug Mi Yang's thigh tightly.

Who would have thought that he, who had just been demoted to Sima by Liu Bei a few years ago, would suddenly become General Anbei, Marquis of Luyang Township?

And the reason why his life trajectory has undergone such a drastic change, isn't it because he followed a good boss?
In fact, with Meng Da's current status, he didn't need to personally escort Xia Houshang and others to Xinye.

But in order to get along with Mi Yang more, Meng Da is willing to do this kind of thing that he didn't like in the past.

With the continuous improvement of Mi Yang's status and power, Mi Yang now has many good generals under his account.

He was no longer the prefect of Hanxing who barely had enough generals to lead a battalion alone when he was in Shangyong.

In this situation, Meng Da's sense of crisis is getting deeper and deeper.

Meng Da knew that his ability was not very outstanding.

He was able to get Mi Yang to entrust him with a heavy responsibility, on the one hand because of his experience in leading the army, and on the other hand because of Fazheng's incense.

That being the case, the best way for him to keep being reused by Mi Yang is to constantly show his presence in front of Mi Yang.

This is the best way to commit crimes that is currently regarded as the standard in Meng Da's heart.

With this in mind, Meng Da ordered the fleet to speed up and head towards Xinye City.

There is one more thing he wants to tell Mi Yang earlier.

A few days later, under the urging of Meng Da, he finally led the fleet to escort the prisoners to the outside of Xinye City.

When he arrived outside Xinye City, Meng Da asked his soldiers to escort Xia Houshang off the ship.

Then, under the leadership of Ding Feng, he escorted Xia Houshang and others quickly towards Xinye City.

Because of the presence of Ding Feng, the team led by Meng Da passed the checkpoints and finally arrived outside the hall of the county mansion in the city.

After Ding Feng brought Meng Da here, he took a meaningful look at Meng Da and asked him to wait outside the lobby first.

Even though he looked down on Ding Feng's background, Meng Da was still very polite to Mi Yang's subordinate, Ding Feng.

So he honestly escorted Xia Houshang and others, waiting outside the lobby.

When Ding Feng saw Mi Yang in the lobby, Mi Yang was making a rattle with his own hands.

Since it was the first time making it, Mi Yang looked clumsy.

But there was a clear smile on Mi Yang's face, obviously he liked the process of making rattles very much.

This rattle was a gift from Mi Yang to his son.

The rattle drum is a musical instrument that has been spread among the people during the Warring States Period, but as time passed, the rattle drum gradually became a toy for some noble children.

With Mi Yang's status, it is really easy for him to directly buy a rattle for his son.

It's just bought, how can it be meaningful to make it by himself?
Mi Yang noticed Ding Feng's entry in the first time, he just nodded slightly when he saw Ding Feng returned and returned, and didn't ask any more questions.

It's just that what Ding Feng reported next made him stop what he was doing.

"My lord, this time General Anbei personally led the team to escort Xia Houshang and others."

After hearing Ding Feng's words, Mi Yang stopped what he was doing unexpectedly, but he didn't think there was anything wrong after thinking about it.

But just when Mi Yang was about to continue making rattle drums, after Ding Feng continued to report to him what Meng Da had done in Champion Hou abroad, Mi Yang not only stopped what he was doing, but his face The smile gradually disappeared.

Today, he was in a rare good mood to take a break from his busy schedule to make toys for Xiao Mi Cheng, but Meng Da ruined it.
