Following his sixth release, Meng Huo summoned all the forces he could muster. Emissaries were sent to every city, village and cave he could think of. Gu Yong's scouts reported these developments and he sent word to bring all the southern Yan armies together at the central camp. In the last month of 221 AD, Meng Huo's armies and allies converged on the Yan camp and a great battle ensued. Elephants charge through men and barricades alike. Arbalests sent so many arrows skyward the sun was darkened.

The southern Man forces gained advantage when Jin Yi of Wu Ling unexpectedly struck the camp from the north. Yan commanders Ma Zhong and He Qi set out with only a handful of men to block the northern gate of the camp until Gu Yong could spare reinforcements for the northern side. By the late afternoon, the entire camp was ringed in a chaotic melee of fighting with only isolated pockets of order around the various commanders. At the end of the day, the Yan soldiers had won and Meng Huo had been captured for the seventh time.

HiddenOne is dead. He was Jin Yi and Meng Huo.

Meng Huo was held in the usual tent and after he was fed dinner a messenger appeared in the door of the tent and addressed the King: "The general Gu Yong is ashamed and does not wish to see you again, Sir. He has sent me to release you. You may enlist another army if you can and once more try a decisive battle. Now you may go."

But instead of going Meng Huo began to weep.

"Seven times a captive and seven times released!" said the King. "Surely there was never anything like it in the whole world. I am not entirely devoid of a sense of propriety and rectitude. Does he think that I feel no shame?"

Thereupon he and all his followers fell upon their knees and crawled to the tent of the Commander-in-Chief and begged pardon, saying, "O General, you are the majesty of Heaven. We people of the south will offer no more opposition."

"Then you yield?" said Gu Yong, sighing.

"I and my children and grandchildren are deeply affected by your all-pervading and life-giving mercy. Now how can we not yield?"

And so the southern Man were pacified by the Yan dynasty, who would never again need to worry about rebellion to their rear while they fought the reclaim the Han.


The game has ended. The Yan Dynasty (town) has won by capturing Meng Huo seven times!

Congratulations to the winners:
