Chapter 220: Liu Mang Traps Shi Xie. [219]



Summary

. Shi Xie, the administrator of Jiaozhou, attempted to overwhelm Liu Mang's grain supply by sending waves of refugees. Unbeknownst to him, Liu Mang, with the help of Zhuge Liang's strategies and increased grain output from the curved plow, was effectively managing the situation. Liu Mang enlisted the refugees into a farming brigade, which pleased Deng Ai, who saw this as a step towards building a large army. Meanwhile, Shi Xie faced backlash from the local gentry as his grain supply became problematic due to a lack of labor, leading him to suspect Xu Jing of treachery. As Shi Xie's situation worsened, he sought mercy from Liu Mang. Chaos erupted in Shi Xie's camp when the refugees rebelled, seizing weapons and overwhelming his forces. Shi Xie, realizing the incompetence of his subordinates, fled in panic as Liu Mang and his allies observed the disarray. Liu Mang expressed confidence in training a formidable army from the Yue people and planned to invite Shi Xie to Fengyang. .
