Three Kingdoms: copy Lu Bu's force at the beginning

Immediately, the hall returned to silence.

However, the pot of charcoal fire remained, making a "crackling" sound as it burned.

It seemed that the temperature in the hall had risen a few degrees again.

Especially the iron rod, the iron plate at the front, was burned redder and brighter in the charcoal fire.

Meng You couldn't help looking at the iron plate, with involuntary fear in his eyes, his Adam's apple kept moving, obviously very scared.

Hua Yu said with a smile: "General Meng San, since he is not even afraid of death, naturally he will not be afraid of this mere torture."

Branding?

So this punishment is called branding?
In fact, this kind of punishment is not unique now, nor is it brought over by Hua Yu from later generations, but has existed very early.

During the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wei Wei had already used this kind of punishment to interrogate important criminals.

If you go back further, it is the cannonball of King Zhou of Shang.

Going forward, there may be more, but there is nothing recorded.

However, Meng You is a barbarian, and he doesn't know much about the history of the Central Plains, of course he doesn't.

"Yes." Meng Youse yelled sternly, "My surname is Hua, I, Meng You, am not afraid of death."

"If you have the guts, just give me a knife. If I frown, I'm not a hero."

"Hahaha..." Hua Yu laughed loudly, "General Meng San is not afraid of death, and Gu really admires him."

"However, I still have something I want General Meng San to help with."

"General Meng San, please write a letter to General Meng Zhen, asking him to invite the cave masters of the caves in Yinan to send troops north to rescue your three brothers, how about it?"

Any fool can hear Hua Yu's plan, it's to catch a turtle out of its hole.

Meng You's face changed, and he shouted: "Hua, don't even think about it, I won't write this letter."

"Hmm..." Hua Yu stopped trying to persuade him, and immediately winked at Hu Chi'er.

Hu Chi'er understood, and immediately strode forward, drew out the simple knife at his waist, and started to dance it.

The clothes on Meng You fell to the ground in pieces with the light of Pohu Chi'er's knife.

"What are you doing?" Meng You was startled and angry, and immediately shouted.

However, Hu Chi'er turned a deaf ear and continued to brandish the simple knife.

It wasn't until all the clothes on Meng You's upper body fell to the ground, revealing his strong muscles, that Pohu Chi'er stopped.

Meng You still doesn't know what Hua Yu wants to do, and he can't tell what it feels like.

He hurriedly looked at the main seat, but Hua Yu didn't look at him, but lowered his head, gently scraped the tea noodles with the bowl cover, and blew gently with his mouth.

Hu Chi'er laughed evilly, sheathed the simple knife, came to the charcoal fire, picked up the iron rod, and pointed the red iron plate at Meng You's body.

"Don't..." Finally, Meng You couldn't bear the huge pressure anymore, and shouted involuntarily.

Meng You has been afraid of pain since he was a child, which is one of his shortcomings.

However, this kind of pain also depends on the situation.

For example, Meng You can bear the beatings during martial arts training.

But the burn was the most unbearable thing for Meng You.

Once, when Meng You was 14 years old, he was accidentally lying on his arm by a pot of boiling water.

Almost all the barbarians in Yinan knew that Meng You cried for two days and two nights.

In the end, it wasn't that he stopped crying, but that his voice was broken and he couldn't cry anymore.

Hu Chi'er stopped immediately, and asked lightly: "General Meng San, what's the reason?"

Meng You was shocked, looking at the still red iron plate with eyes full of horror, gasping for breath: "I... I promise, write to... father."

"Hahaha, okay, those who know the current affairs are heroes." Hu Chi'er immediately threw the iron plate into the charcoal fire, and said with a big smile, "Come here, untie General Meng San, and serve him with pen and ink."

Seeing Meng You submitting, Xu Shu couldn't help admiring him.

Before, when Hua Yu made this plan, Xu Shu didn't understand what was going on, why?

Hua Yu told Xu Shu that Meng You would be obedient.

Now, with Xu Shu's intelligence, Hua Yu had already figured out Meng You's character clearly.

Next, someone untied Meng You, and someone brought a desk and pen and ink.

Hua Yu raised his head and winked at Xu Shu, who understood.

After coughing twice, Xu Shu said flatly, "General Meng San, I will dictate and you will write."

Meng You didn't dare to refuse, so he sat down obediently and picked up the brush.

"Father, my son, Meng Yourong, is here. This time, my son, my elder brother, and my second elder brother were all captured by Qin Wang Huayu, who was brutal and treated the three of us differently from human beings..."

So, under Xu Shu's dictation, Meng You quickly completed a letter.

The meaning is very simple, that is to say, the three brothers were captured by Hua Yu, but Hua Yu treated them extremely cruelly, making their life worse than death.

He risked his life to write this letter, and sent a confidant to escape to deliver the letter to Meng Zhen.

In the letter, Meng You also gave Meng Zhen a plan, that is to borrow troops from the other cave masters in Yinan to go north to save the three brothers.

Meng You also understands the purpose of this letter, but he has no other choice now, unless he can withstand the torture of the iron plate.

"Okay, very good." Hua Yu nodded with satisfaction after reading Meng You's letter, and said with a smile, "General Meng San is really a man who knows the current affairs. It's very comforting to be lonely."

"After the matter is completed, I will let General Meng San become the master of Yinan, so that I can live up to General Meng San's help."

Meng You smiled wryly: "Thank you King Qin for your kindness."

"The master of Yinan, Meng You didn't dare to think about it."

"It's just that Meng You begged King Qin not to tell my elder brother and second elder brother the truth of this matter."

"Oh..." Hua Yu pretended to be surprised, and immediately asked, "Yuan Zhi, Meng Jie and Meng Huo shouldn't know about this, right?"

Xu Shu rolled his eyes straight, thinking to himself, the lord's acting skills are really top-notch, if I hadn't known the truth earlier, I'm afraid I would have been easily fooled by the lord.

"My lord, after the two generals Meng Jie and Meng Huo woke up, they clamored to see the lord, so the subordinates sent someone to escort them back. I'm afraid they have already arrived."

As soon as the words fell, Meng Huo roared angrily at the door: "Meng You, you covetous creature who fears death, you're going to kill your father, you're going to kill Yinan."

Immediately, Meng Jie and Meng Huo strode in, but their upper bodies were still tied up.

After entering the door, Meng Huo ran towards Meng You with big strides, kicked in the air, and cursed, "I'll kick you to death, you coward who eats inside and out."

Although Meng Jie didn't make any movements, he had a gloomy face and looked coldly at Hua Yu who was sitting on the main seat.

Hua Yu still lowered his head, gently scratched the tea noodles with the bowl cover, and blew gently.

The second step of the plan to pacify Yinan was also completely successful, and it was time for Meng Jie to borrow troops next.

Of course, Hua Yu's army had to continue to press southward, and it was necessary to deter the Yinan tribes.
