Chapter 501 A Gentlemans Appointment

Li Mengxi did not call the Yellow Turbans thieves, but instead said that the Yellow Turbans were poor people.

Zhang Jiao prepared a series of arguments and arguments, but they were all in vain.

After looking at Li Mengxi for a long time and seeing that Li Mengxi's eyes did not dodge at all, Zhang Jiao knew that what the person in front of him said was true.

However, Zhang Jiao could not fully believe that such a young boy, who was not as good as a weakling, could be entrusted with important tasks.

Zhang Jiao asked in a sideways manner, asking who Li Mengxi studied under.

Li Mengxi thought briefly and said, "A certain teacher has learned from hundreds of schools."

The hundreds of schools that Li Mengxi talked about include biochemistry, physics, and mathematics, from Newton to Darwin to Marx. The knowledge they have learned is so complicated that there are more than just a hundred schools of thought.

But at the end of the Han Dynasty, Bai Jia refers to the hundreds of schools of pre-Qin scholars.

One person dared to say that he had learned from hundreds of schools. How confident he was. Zhang Jiao looked at him sideways.

Zhang Jiao asked sideways, "Any envoys in the Young Master's army?"

Li Mengxi solemnly replied, "Liu Xuande of Zhuozhou does not regard me as a young man, but recognizes me as a military advisor."

It is strange that he is not as old as the weak crown, and he pays homage to the military advisor.

Finally, Zhang Jiao looked at Li Mengxi for a long time and asked in a deep voice, "If there are 40,000 people who want to join your army, do you dare to ask me, young master, if you can persuade Liu Xuande of Zhuozhou to spare these 30,000 people?"

Li Mengxi understood that there were more than 30,000 Zhangjiao people in the city.

Thinking of this, Li Mengxi nodded, "Liu Xuande is generous, benevolent and loving. He will never do anything like massacre and surrender."

Looking into Zhang Jue's eyes, Li Mengxi seemed to see through Zhang Jue's heart, "Besides, the imperial court is ignorant now. The great military merits are not as good as a thousand taels of gold. If we want to get a chance to advance, we don't have to capture or kill the people in the Yellow Turbans."

It is not necessary to decapitate his head to redeem his military merits before he is sent to the government, so as to make enough gold and silver."

Even though Zhang Jiao is the Lord of Heaven, he is also a Yellow Turban.

Li Mengxi had long understood the worries of the Yellow Turban captives. They were worried about whether they would be able to eat enough, whether they would trap and kill the Yellow Turbans when food was insufficient, whether they would be sent to the government later, and whether they would be forced to fill them.

Death in a ditch.

Li Mengxi already had countermeasures for what the Yellow Turban prisoners were worried about.

In Zhangjiao, Li Mengxi first said that military merit does not require the heads of the Yellow Turbans, and that money is better than the heads of the Yellow Turbans.

Then, Li Mengxi said again, "In our army, the grain and grass can still support us. Even if the grain and grass fail, there is always a way to buy or conquer.

To support more than 100,000 people, it is a great disaster.

However, don’t you hear that if you want to wear a golden crown, you must first bear its weight. Liu Xuande of Zhuozhou wants to farm on a large scale and is in need of manpower. How can he kill the chicken to obtain the eggs?"

If you want to wear a golden crown, you must bear its weight...

Zhang Jiao's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Li Mengxi in surprise.

Judging from the words of the young man in front of him, Liu Xuande of Zhuozhou also wants to rebel?!

The second point is that the Yellow Turban prisoners can be well fed, that’s it.

Then, Li Mengxi looked again and said, "I am familiar with the art of war! You know that the most important thing in the army is to choose. You know that if you fight, you must choose the vanguard first. You know, it is not important to have many soldiers, but to choose the best."

Knowing that, killing without teaching is a thief!"

"If I use troops," Li Mengxi flicked his finger on the low table and smiled lightly, "if I use troops, I must first select the soldiers, then practice the fighting skills, the ability of the battle formation, then understand the military discipline, and then refine the armor.

Then encourage bravery, and then, if you are able to fight, you will be as sharp as ten men in battle."

"If you don't select, practice, and understand military discipline, you won't be able to reward the soldiers without skills. Even if they are in battle, they will be easily defeated. Even if you have soldiers, you won't be able to use them."

At the end, Li Mengxi added, "Human power is precious, how can we abuse it?"

Li Mengxi said that all the prisoners captured by the Zhuozhou rebel army could be well fed, alive, and safe.

Zhang Jiao nodded imperceptibly.

At the end, "There is still one difficulty." Li Mengxi frowned, scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Dong Zhuo, who is attacking the city, is on a different road from our army. Dong Zhuo bites the city and refuses to let go, and our army cannot fight with him.

At this critical moment in the city, the Yellow Turbans...can only save themselves."

"Furthermore, Dong Zhuo is an important member of the imperial court, and our army Liu Xuande is only a white man. If Dong Zhuo uses his official body and military power to suppress Liu Xuande afterwards, Liu Xuande will be soft and will not dare to insult the dignity of the imperial court. Then he will be in trouble."

"I wish," Li Mengxi raised his head and looked at Zhang Jiao with piercing eyes, "your Yellow Turbans can abandon the city and come out to fight back, destroying Dong Zhuo's army.

When Dong Zhuo's military strength is weakened, he will no longer have the confidence to compete with our troops, nor will he have the courage to use the imperial court to suppress me. Only in this way can things be stable."

Li Mengxi looked at Zhang Jiao steadily and asked, "Maybe your troops will fight out of the city to defeat Dong Zhuo? How dare you abandon the city and go to war?"

Zhang Jiao smiled, "What can't you do? Why can't you dare?"

Li Mengxi nodded, "That's good."

He stood up and said, "My troops will retreat ten miles east of the city."

Then, Li Mengxi took a deep look at Zhang Jiao, and without saying anything else, he turned around and left the tent.

Guan Yu was waiting outside.

Li Mengxi came out, and Guan Yu led the horse over, "Xi'er, can we talk about it? Are you willing to surrender the Yellow Turban?"

Li Mengxi shook his head, "Zhang Jiao and I have not discussed surrender."

Guan Yu was confused.

After helping Li Mengxi onto the horse, Guan Yu climbed onto the horse and asked Li Mengxi to sit firmly, "Drive!"

Guan Yu kicked the horse in the belly and left the city.

Outside the west city gate, swords were in full swing.

Dong Zhuo angrily led his troops to block half of the city gates. Zhang Fei and Liu Bei also led their troops to confront Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo was on the verge of an explosion and was about to capture the city. Liu Xuande came to seize the city. It was tolerable, but not tolerable! Even if Liu Bei was killed, the court would not blame him.

If it weren't for the fact that Liu Bei had so many troops and Zhang Fei was so fierce, Dong Zhuo would have abandoned the city to destroy Liu Bei.

Seeing Guan Yu leaving the city, Dong Zhuo and Liu Bei, who were confronting each other, both turned their eyes towards Guan Yu.

Li Mengxi poked his head out from behind Guan Yu and saw the big scene outside the city gate.

After thinking for a while, Li Mengxi came up with a plan, and a plan came to his mind.

When they arrived at the confrontation between the two armies, Liu Bei and Dong Zhuo were only three to five steps apart in the front row.

When Li Mengxi came back, he did not return to the formation first, but jumped off his horse and saluted Dong Zhuo, who was sitting astride the tall horse three or five steps away, blowing his beard and staring with anger on his face.

"A certain person has just entered the city and wants to persuade Zhangjiao to surrender, but the thieves are stubborn and refuse to surrender. So let's give up. Our troops will withdraw. The city will be left to Duke Dong, who can take care of himself."

After that, he went back to the battle.

Then, Li Mengxi returned to the formation, Liu Bei also withdrew his troops, led his men away, and gave up all the city gates.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Dong Zhuo watched Liu Bei leave with great confusion.

Liu Bei wants to withdraw his troops? No more taking credit? Dong Zhuo doesn't believe it. Then Liu Bei is very domineering, how can he be a courageous person?

——

Among the rebels, Li Mengxi told Liu Bei, "I made an agreement with Zhang Jiao that our army will withdraw ten miles eastward."

Liu Bei nodded slightly and waited for Li Mengxi's next sentence. After a long time, Li Mengxi didn't say, "...No more?" Liu Bei's eyes widened and he looked at Li Mengxi in surprise.

"No more." Li Mengxi nodded.

"...There is no surrender regulation?" Liu Bei was extremely shocked.

"No." Li Mengxi said calmly, "This is a gentleman's agreement."

Zhang Fei beside him sneered, "Does Zhang Jiao, a dog, deserve to be called a gentleman?"

Li Mengxi said nothing.

He looked at Liu Bei and said, "Withdraw your troops, ten miles eastward."

Li Mengxi's words were quite weighty. He said to withdraw ten miles to the east, and Liu Bei immediately ordered the withdrawal.

Soon, the whole camp of the rebel army was in action. Soldiers and civilians were dismantling tents and packing luggage. The crowd was noisy and lively.

Half an hour later, the rebels broke camp and headed east.

It is still a long snake marching procession, with one team of twelve zodiac flags walking in front of the other.

Order Zhang Fei to go ahead and find the camp ten miles ahead.

Guan Yu led the troops to break up the rear.

Dong Zhuo was confused when the rebels really broke up camp and left. He watched the rebels finish off bit by bit until no one was left. Dong Zhuo still didn't believe it. Afraid of Liu Bei's conspiracy, Dong Zhuo ordered his scouts to chase him to see if Liu Bei had left or was lying.

Shake a shot.

After a long time.

The scout came back and said that Liu Bei's army stopped and set up camp after walking for more than ten miles.

Dong Zhuo thought to himself that Liu Xuande indeed had a plan.
