Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 37. Meeting Liu Bei

"What do you think, my Lord?"

Meng Da remained calm after reading it and asked Liu Feng for his opinion. He wanted to see what Liu Feng thought about it.

"This... I originally wanted to go back to Chengdu and explain to my father in person, but judging from this intelligence, my father is really ready to kill me. After all, you and I are involved in treason and betrayal, and I'm afraid we can't escape responsibility..."

Liu Feng was also a little hesitant. After all, treason and rebellion were both capital crimes, and he dared not get involved in them.

Meng Da rolled his eyes a few times and asked Liu Feng tentatively.

"Then I wonder if the eldest master has any way out or a place to go?"

Liu Feng sighed.

"If I had a way out, why would I ask you to come? I would rather abandon the city and go somewhere else."

Meng Da smiled in silence. As expected, Liu Feng had no opinion when faced with such a thing. That was his chance.

"My Lord, why do you have to abandon the city? Why don't we offer the three counties of Shangyong as a means of establishing ourselves and surrender to the King of Wei together?"

When Meng Da said this, he kept looking at Liu Feng. He saw that Liu Feng was quite interested, but also a little conflicted.

"This... We have been fighting with Cao Wei for a long time, and I am afraid that we have hatred. If we surrender rashly, the King of Wei will definitely not believe us, and may even kill us."

Liu Feng's worries were somewhat reasonable. After all, the two of them had fought against the State of Wei for several years and had hatred and grudges. This was the first aspect. The second aspect was that if there was no one to make connections, what if the other party thought he was pretending to surrender?
"This is easy. The two brothers Shen Dan and Shen Yi have close ties with the State of Wei. However, the eldest son needs a handwritten letter as proof. What do you think?"

Meng Da basically believed Liu Feng to a certain extent, but he still needed Liu Feng to write a letter of surrender as a handle. If Liu Feng framed him and others, he could bite back.

"It's easy. I'll write a letter right away, but you have to bring the two of them here so we can have a face-to-face interview. Only then can I be sure that you are not setting me up."

Meng Da had no objection to this, and the two of them agreed to meet again tomorrow.

Meng Da was on guard all night after returning to the inn, fearing that Liu Feng was plotting to harm him, and was ready to escape at any time. Nothing happened that night, and after confirming that Liu Feng had no intention of murdering him, he thought he was really desperate, so he called Shen Dan and the two brothers Shen Yi who had hurried over to meet Liu Feng.

Shen Dan and Shen Yi patted their chests and said that they knew officials of Cao Wei, and even mentioned that they had corresponded with Man Chong and Man Boning and had been friends for a long time. If Liu Feng was willing to submit to Wei, they could introduce him.

"That's great! How about we sign together so we can look after each other?"

Shen Dan, Shen Yi and Meng Da had no objection. The three of them wrote their names and pressed their fingerprints next to Liu Feng's signature.

Liu Feng picked it up and nodded with satisfaction. Suddenly he asked loudly.

"General Zhang, everything is fine!"

"All the troops, follow me to capture the rebels!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Nan led his personal guards to rush in from outside. The Shen brothers and Meng Da knew that they had fallen into a trap, so they drew their swords at their waists and tried to hold Liu Feng hostage.

Unexpectedly, a man wearing armor and holding a sword appeared from the partition behind Liu Feng. He and Liu Feng, who stood up and drew his sword, faced Meng Da and his two companions directly.

"Now the only way we can escape is to hold Liu Feng hostage. Kill!"

Meng Da quickly said to the two brothers of the Shen family, and then he personally chopped at Liu Feng. In Meng Da's opinion, although Liu Feng was extremely brave, he was not a mediocre fighter either, and with the two brothers of the Shen family assisting him, it would not be a problem to take down the two.

"stirrup--!"

A streak of white light flashed in the air. It was the young general next to Liu Feng who stepped forward. The sword flashed like lightning. With one strike, Meng Da's blade was neatly cut in half. Even a few strands of Meng Da's hair were cut off in mid-air, which showed how strong his arm was. "Hiss...!"

Meng Da was immediately filled with fear. Only top-notch generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei could give him such a sense of oppression, but he did not recognize the person in front of him.

"Who are you!"

Meng Da took a step back with the broken sword in hand. He was already afraid, but he still shouted sternly.

"I am Feng Xi, the Godly General under the command of the King of Hanzhong. Meng Da, Shen Dan, and Shen Yi, the three of you have colluded with Cao Wei and are planning a rebellion. What else can you say? Put down your weapons immediately, and I can temporarily save your lives."

Meng Da and the other two looked at each other, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in each other's eyes.

"They are few in number now, let's attack together! Kill him and hold Liu Feng hostage! I can also rely on my reputation to control the three counties of Shangyong!"

Even Meng Da raised his broken sword and rushed towards Feng Xi. If they wanted to survive, they had to fight. Otherwise, they would die.

"Puff, puff, puff."

With two sounds of blows entering flesh and one sound of falling to the ground, the situation on the field changed instantly.

The two brothers of the Shen family dropped their swords and touched the thin red line on their necks in despair. The thin line seemed to react and instantly spurted out countless blood. No matter how hard the Shen brothers struggled, it was useless.

The two men's pupils slowly dilated and they fell to the ground.

Meng Da was kicked against the wall by Feng Xi, who had easily killed two people. At this moment, he covered his stomach and coughed up blood.

"Wen Jin, behead those two men and bring them back to Chengdu. The Shen family is also a local bully, so go to their house and confiscate their property and exterminate their clan, and search for those letters."

The situation was calmed down, and there was not even any disturbance in the city. No one knew that there had been a planned rebellion here that was extinguished before it even happened.

After Feng Xi and Liu Feng collected the evidence, they returned to Chengdu with some of their personal soldiers. Zhang Nan stayed behind to temporarily take charge of the defense of the three counties of Shangyong to prevent a sneak attack by Cao Wei or rebellion by other remnants of the Shen family.

After a few days, the group returned to Chengdu and immediately went to the palace to meet Liu Bei and report the matter.

Because the matter was of great importance, Liu Bei still asked Zhuge Liang to come along. Out of consideration for Liao Hua's feelings, he specially allowed Liao Hua to come and listen to Liu Bei's questioning of the two.

But even so, when Feng Xi walked into the hall carrying two bloody heads, holding down the disheveled Meng Da, and the still elegant Liu Feng, everyone still thought the scene was very strange.

"Xiu Yuan? What happened? Why are you dressed like this? Whose head is that in your hand?"

Liu Bei naturally knew that Feng Xi would not harm him, so he was just curious.

"Your Majesty, this time, I, Shangyong, and the eldest son jointly uncovered Meng Da's conspiracy to rebel. Thanks to the eldest son's self-deception, Meng Da was lured into the trap, and we were able to capture him in one fell swoop."

Then Feng Xi told the story. When Meng Da learned that Feng Xi came to question him, he hinted to Liu Feng many times. Liu Feng took the initiative to find Feng Xi, and Feng Xi made a plan to test Meng Da.

Meng Da fell into the trap and revealed the Shen brothers as his accomplices, but he would not meet them until Liu Feng wrote a letter. So Liu Feng pretended to agree to meet the three men at Feng Xi's suggestion, and Feng Xi would lead his army to capture them all.

"Your Majesty, these are letters found in the residence of the two brothers of the Shen family. They have many contacts with Man Chong, an important official of Cao Wei. These are letters between them and Meng Da. They express dissatisfaction with Your Majesty in their words, and the intention of colluding with Cao Wei is clearly evident on the paper."

Feng Xi presented all the evidence he had found. Liu Bei read it slowly and became furious after reading it.
