Chapter 89
— The Lord of Wuxiang Uses The Fourth Ruse; The King of Mang Is Captured The Fifth Time.
The Hermit of the Stream — green-eyed, yellow-haired, twenty years withdrawn — who cures the dumb soldiers at his Spring of Peace and Joy, arms the whole army against malaria with the garlic-leaved fragrance, counsels digging wells... and then names himself: Meng Huo's eldest brother, Meng Jie, in retreat from a sibling he could never reform. He refuses a kingship and every present.
