Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 248 242. Total Annihilation
In Meng Huo's tent, everyone was toasting each other, looking very happy. Although Meng Huo was a barbarian king, he still knew the basic etiquette. When the Han envoys arrived, Meng Huo would definitely host a banquet to entertain them.

For some unknown reason, Meng Huo also invited Yong Kai and the other two to attend the banquet.

"The Han envoy has come a long way and has worked hard. I wonder what the Han emperor wants to say?"

After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, Meng Huo began to speak leisurely. It must be said that he learned a lot from the drinking table culture.

"Your Majesty, you are too polite. Your Majesty sent me here for no other reason than to discuss peace. Your Majesty and the Prime Minister know that the barbarians in the south have always lived in peace. Now that they have suddenly risen up in arms, they must have been instigated by someone else. Now that the rebellion in the three counties of Yizhou has been quelled, I was specially sent to talk to Your Majesty about withdrawing the troops."

The envoy spoke rather politely, telling Meng Huo both explicitly and implicitly that the Han Dynasty had blamed Yong Kai and his men for this matter, and that he should just withdraw his troops as soon as possible.

As someone who knew Chinese culture well and could speak fluent Chinese, how could Meng Huo not understand the meaning? Meng Huo turned the wine glass around and did not speak.

Yong Kai and Zhu Bao were instantly disappointed when they heard the Han envoy's words. What did this mean? Meng Huo was instigated by someone. Who? Who else could it be except them?

"Does His Majesty have any other requests?"

Meng Huo did not respond in a hurry, but continued to question the Han envoy. He did not believe that the young emperor in Chengdu was willing to give up, or that even if the young emperor was willing, those cunning Han officials would not give up.

"Your Majesty, your request is very simple. I heard that the three bandit leaders Yong Kai, Gao Ding, and Zhu Bao have fled to Nanzhong. As long as Your Majesty can present the heads of these three bandits, the matter of Nanzhong will be forgiven."

The Han envoy glanced at Yong Kai and the other two intentionally or unintentionally when he said this. The Han envoy pretended to be ignorant, he knew that Yong Kai and the other two were with Meng Huo, but he pretended not to know and gave Meng Huo enough face, otherwise how would Meng Huo explain?
As long as the envoy returns, Meng Huo will send someone to send the heads of these three people to Chengdu, and then everyone will be fine.

However, the Han envoy thought so, and Meng Huo also had his own ideas, but they all overlooked one point, that is, Yong Kai was not a dead man, and he also had his own ideas.

When Yong Kai heard the Han envoy's words, he knew that today's incident could not be resolved amicably, but he had already discussed this situation with Zhu Bao and Gao Ding.

Faced with the Han envoy's solicitation, how should Yong Kai and his men regain Meng Huo's trust? Beg for mercy? Or persuade him?
This is surely all in vain.

The only way is...

"Do it!"

At Yong Kai's command, he and Zhu Bao stood up, kicked over the table, drew their swords at their waists and rushed towards the Han envoy.

Yong Kai's plan was simple, that is to drag Meng Huo into the water. Maybe he had no interests that could impress Meng Huo now, but if he couldn't share wealth, he couldn't share adversity?

As long as they killed the Han envoy, it would mean that Meng Huo had killed the angel without authorization and intended to resist the heavenly soldiers. The Han army would definitely fight Meng Huo to the death. By then, if Meng Huo wanted to surrender, it would be a question whether the Han army would accept his surrender.

Yong Kai and Zhu Bao also overlooked one thing, that is, they had discussed this plan with Gao Ding before. Now, with Yong Kai's order, why were only himself and Zhu Bao taking action?

But they soon understood what had happened.

"Puff, puff"

With the sounds of two sharp weapons hitting flesh, Yong Kai and Zhu Bao's bodies froze in place. Before they could pounce on the Han envoy, they were ambushed by the people behind them.

Yong Kai turned around in disbelief and saw that it was Gao Ding and the guards behind him. The two of them each took a knife and stabbed Yong Kai and Zhu Bao directly in the back.

"Why... why..."

Yong Kai dropped the long sword in his hand, and it fell to the ground with a crisp sound. Yong Kai ignored the long sword and held the tip of the knife on his chest with both hands. Even though his palms were cut by the sharp blade and bleeding, he did not let go. Yong Kai tilted his head, blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth, and asked Gao Ding with some reluctance. In his opinion, the three of them were grasshoppers on the same rope. If he was gone, would Gao Ding be able to escape?

"Hehe, I'm sorry, Brother Yong Kai. In order to gain His Majesty's forgiveness, I must borrow your head."

Gao Ding did not feel guilty at all, but rather laughed at him. The guards at the side drew their swords directly, and Zhu Bao lost his support instantly because the blade left his body. He fell to the ground, spitting blood from his mouth. This was caused by the blood pouring out of his lungs.

"click"

With a crisp sound, the guard did not hold back at all and cut Zhu Bao in half with one sword, separating his head and body.

"You idiot! Do you think... do you think you can get better? I am in the underworld..."

Yong Kai saw Zhu Bao's fate from the corner of his eye, and simply cursed Gao Ding, but Gao Ding ignored him and watched Yong Kai finish his curse with a smile, then suddenly pulled out the long sword in his hand, and Yong Kai also fell to the ground because he lost his support.

"thorn"

Gao Ding took a step forward and stabbed Yong Kai's neck as he fell to the ground. The huge force was so strong that Yong Kai didn't even have time to make a sound before his head was chopped off.

The Han envoy here was stunned. He was surprised when the two men pounced on him with their fangs and claws, but the situation changed suddenly and the two men were suddenly killed, leaving him unable to react.

"Don't panic, Han envoy. Everything is under control. Yong Kai, Zhu Bao, and Gao Ding are the masterminds of this rebellion and should be executed."

Meng Huo seemed to know all of this, and raised his wine glass as if to appease the Han envoy.

Gao Ding was feeling very proud at first, but after thinking about it for a while, he came to his senses. Yong Kai, Zhu Bao, and Gao Ding? Wasn't he still among them?
"Meng Huo, what do you mean? This is different from what we agreed on!"

Gao Ding held the long sword in his hand and took a small step back, his face looking a little ferocious. The guards he brought with him immediately followed behind him, carefully guarding against other people at the banquet.

"What a pity, General Gao Yi. I never made any agreement with you. It's just that you three are afraid of taking responsibility and are fighting each other. Now that the angel is here, why don't you surrender?"

Meng Huo looked as if he was sure of victory. The smile on Gao Ding's face did not disappear, but simply shifted to Meng Huo's face.

"Meng Huo, don't think you can defeat me. I still have 20,000 men under my command. Do you think I dare not..."

"Do it."

Gao Ding was still uttering harsh words when Meng Huo suddenly said something incoherent, then turned his head away and stopped looking at him.

Gao Ding was full of doubts. Before he could say anything, he suddenly felt his vision changed. The world started spinning and he felt like he was flying.

After turning around a few times, Gao Ding's vision finally stabilized, as if he had landed on the ground. He saw a headless corpse standing there with a long knife in his hand, and his guards behind him also held knives and kept swinging.

"I……"

Before Gao Ding had time to think, boundless darkness surged up and his consciousness disappeared.
