Chapter 393 387. Meeting
In Meng Jie's opinion, what is the problem of Nanzhong? Isn't it Meng Huo's arbitrary rule? If everyone can sit down and discuss the important matters, everyone is not stupid and can definitely come up with a reasonable plan. Even if there are people with more extreme thinking, they cannot change the overall situation among more normal people.

"What the Grand Commander said is absolutely right. If all the cave masters and marshals can sit together and decide the future direction and policies of our Nanzhong by voting in this way, I believe we will not repeat the same mistakes again."

Meng Jie was also filled with emotion when he talked about this.

"Mr. Meng... Oh no, what Cave Master Meng said is absolutely right. I cannot bear to see Nanzhong fall into ruin because of Meng Huo. Now most of the cave masters have been forced to follow the thieves due to Meng Huo's coercion and are temporarily protected here by me. There are still some other caves that have not come. I have sent people to inform them that the first Nanzhong Council will be held in a few days.

Considering that Master Meng has no experience, I will personally guide you in holding this first South Central Council. Master Meng must learn more and observe more. When we return, all matters of South Central will be handed over to Master Meng."

As Feng Xi spoke, he appeared to be considering Nanzhong. Meng Jie did not suspect anything and did not doubt that Feng Xi had any ulterior motives. He was extremely grateful to Feng Xi for his personal guidance.

"Oh, by the way, Grand Admiral, I beg you to let me see my foolish brothers."

After the official business was finished, Meng Jie hesitated for a moment and asked Feng Xi to allow him to meet Meng Huo and Meng You.

"Of course, you and your brothers haven't seen each other for a long time. It's time to meet each other. Bao Feng! Take Master Meng to meet Meng Huo, Meng You and the others!"

Feng Xi nodded, waved his hand, and asked Bao Feng, who had nothing to do, to lead Meng Jie as if he didn't care at all.

Now, only the Shenwu Camp headquarters and the garrison troops of Yongchang County are stationed here. Bao Feng hardly has to worry about the daily training of the Shenwu Camp, as officers at all levels can handle it themselves. So during this period of time, Bao Feng is like Xu Chu and Dian Wei, helping Feng Xi and learning something.

"Yes, Grand Commander. Master Meng, please follow me."

Bao Feng came in from outside the tent and bowed to receive the order.

Meng Jie, Bao Feng and several other soldiers walked a long way and arrived at a newly built camp. It was tightly guarded by thousands of Han troops, and there were many people from the south in the camp.

Many Nanzhong soldiers were captured in the previous battles. After the war, those who were willing to go home went home, and those who were willing to join the Han Dynasty were sent by Feng Xi to Yang Feng to take them away.

After all, if they were let go during the war, they would naturally be suspected of aiding the enemy. But now that the war is over, wouldn't it be a waste of food to keep these people locked up? It would be better to just send these soldiers away and let them go home.

Those who are still imprisoned are the cave masters, marshals and other high-ranking officials in the South and Central China who followed Meng Huo, as well as their families and close associates.

Meng Jie followed Bao Feng through this "prisoner of war camp" and saw that although these captives from Nanzhong were captives, they had good food and drink. His opinion of the Han army became even higher.

When Bao Feng led him to a place heavily surrounded by some white-robed Han soldiers, he saw that his brother Meng Huo was locked up in a special cage like an animal, while Meng You, Madam Zhu Rong and others were treated slightly better, at least they were not imprisoned like this, but were shackled, but they were still free to move.

"younger brother……"

Meng Jie sighed and came to Meng Huo's cage. He had thought of thousands of words before coming here, but at this moment, all these words were like a mess in his brain, and he couldn't form a complete word. Meng Jie could only look at Meng Huo in silence.

When Meng Huo heard someone calling him, he slowly raised his head, squinted his eyes to adjust to the light, and then he could see who was standing in front of him. He was wearing a light blue Confucian robe, with his slightly white hair braided into a bun like the Han people, and his face was full of vicissitudes. Who else could it be but his brother Meng Jie?

"…What are you doing here? Have you surrendered to the Han people and come here to laugh at me?"

Meng Huo had a cold face and was silent for a while. Then he spoke in a hoarse voice. In his opinion, he had an extremely bad relationship with this brother who was incompatible with Nanzhong. The two of them could be said to be incompatible. Now that he was in trouble, what else could he do? He must be just mocking him as a winner.

"Alas...brother, I just talked to the commander-in-chief of the Han army. He doesn't want to kill you, but just wants you to do hard labor in Jingzhou for twenty years. After twenty years, you will still be a civilian, and then..."

Meng Jie shook his head and talked about Meng Huo's punishment.

"Enough! Meng Jie, you are such a complete idiot. The Han people just think that if they kill me directly, Nanzhong will be in chaos. If I go to Jingzhou, I might fall into the water or be killed by a rock one day. What can you do in Nanzhong?"

When Meng Huo heard Meng Jie still talking about these nonsense and seemed to have been deceived by the Han people, he could not help but yell like a wounded and desperate beast.

Meng Huo's voice also attracted the attention of Madam Zhurong, Meng You and others, and they then realized that Meng Jie had arrived.

"Big brother..."

Meng You spoke timidly. He didn't know why his eldest brother came here, and it seemed that he had an argument with his second brother.

"Brother, how could I not know? But since the Han army can let you go once, as long as you don't continue to make mistakes and live an honest life like an ordinary person for twenty years, the Han people will no longer have to deal with you."

Meng Jie's eyes were already a little wet when he said this. How could he not know what Feng Xi meant? But now he was at the mercy of others, so he could only hope that Meng Huo would behave himself and not send himself to the Han people, giving them an excuse to kill him.

If Meng Huo really behaved himself and didn't do what he wanted, Feng Xi wouldn't mind sparing his life. Although based on Feng Xi's understanding of Meng Huo, he felt that it was almost impossible for Meng Huo to do so.

"Twenty years later, when you come back to Nanzhong, Yinkengdong will still be yours. You must always remember that no matter how you look at me, I am your eldest brother. We are a family. Yinkengdong is your home, and it is also my home."

Meng Jie couldn't hold back his tears when he said this, and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves. Now Meng Jie only hoped that Meng Huo would live and stop making trouble. Even if he wasted twenty years in Jingzhou, as long as he came back alive, Yinkeng Cave would still be his.

"Big brother..."

Meng You was also moved by Meng Jie's true feelings and couldn't help but cover her face and sob.

"You damned bastard, my brother has said this, how long are you going to hold on?"
