Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 102: Discussion

Xiahou Yuan's troops were monitored by Xing Daorong at all times, and the battle between Huang Zhong and Ma Chao was also going quite smoothly.

In less than half a month, the local nobles Shen Geng and Shen Yi both surrendered, and the three eastern counties of Hanzhong were also incorporated into Liu Bei's territory.

The gate to Hanzhong was completely closed, and the road to Jingzhou was completely opened again, and the Three Kingdoms were finally formed.

Compared with the historical situation that Liu Bei did not take Hanzhong until the 24th year of Jian'an, this time it was eight years earlier!

These eight years are the most precious eight years.

Now Liu Bei is just fifty years old, Guan Yu is forty-nine, Zhang Fei is forty-six, Zhao Yun is forty-three, and Ma Chao is thirty-five.
Everything seems to be in time
Everything seems to have time.
No one knows the root cause of all these changes, it is because of Xing Daorong, a man who wanted to die but now has become Liu Bei's most trusted general.

The story of the Three Kingdoms has just begun, and no one knows better than Xing Daorong the hardships that Liu Bei's group will have to go through.
So as the war ended, he wrote a letter directly to Chengdu.

One is to show that the war in the three eastern counties has ended, and the other is to ask Liu Bei to make arrangements for him.
Chengdu.

Liu Bei was naturally delighted when he got the news that Xing Daorong not only subdued Ma Chao after going to Hanzhong, but also captured the three eastern counties in one fell swoop.

Needless to say, rewards are given.

However, regarding personnel arrangements, he originally wanted to directly appoint Xing Daorong as the prefect of Hanzhong, but was rejected by the letter he had written in advance.

At this moment, Fa Zheng and Zhuge Liang were sitting next to him. They read the letter one by one, both with thoughtful expressions.

This is the position Xing Daorong wanted to stay in. It's a bit special.
"You two, now that the world has been divided into three parts, I want to send Yunchang to Jingzhou to supervise Jingzhou affairs; Yide to Langzhong to govern northern Sichuan; Zilong to Chengdu to serve as my assistant."

"As for the rest of the generals, they will guard the pass and rest and recuperate."

It is right to recuperate. Jingzhou and Yizhou are both newly pacified places and the people need to be appeased.

Besides, the soldiers have not stopped for more than a year, so some adjustments should be made.

But I didn't hear Xing Daorong's name in this round, which was obviously not normal.

How could Liu Bei ignore his beloved general? The reason why he didn't mention it was because of this letter...

Zhuge Liang then asked, "My Lord, I originally wanted to ask Zi Yu to go to Hanzhong, but he wrote in advance that he did not want to be the governor of Hanzhong and insisted on staying in the three eastern counties. Is this a problem?"

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Yes, the three eastern counties are the gateway to Hanzhong and are under the control of Hanzhong. I don't know why Ziyu is unwilling to take charge of the overall situation in Hanzhong and insists on being stationed in the farthest west city."

"Besides, he not only wants to be stationed in Xicheng, but also said that he wants to go to Jingzhou to meet Yunchang, and asked me to give him the privilege of traveling between Jingzhou and Xicheng at will. I don't know what he means by that."

Zhuge Liang couldn't figure this out, but Xicheng also has a very special place.

It is the closest place to Nanjun of Jingzhou, although there is a Nanyang in between, namely the area around Xiangyang and Fancheng.

He glanced at Fa Zheng, only to see that he was also frowning, obviously confused.

After thinking about it, he advised Liu Bei: "Since it is what Zi Yu wants, we should agree to it. Besides, he met with Yun Chang, maybe for the purpose of sending troops to the north in the future?"

Send troops to the Northern Expedition
Everyone knows that this is necessary, but after years of fighting, it is time to stop.

Even Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others who had followed him in battles for years had no objection when he asked them to organize their troops and prepare for war first.

As a result, Xing Daorong chose not to go back to Chengdu or to Hanzhong, and stayed in a remote corner of Xicheng.

Not only in Xicheng, but also in Jingzhou to maintain close contact. It is hard not to admire him.

He said, "Zi Yu is devoted to the public. Since this is what he wants, let him lead the army to station in Xicheng. However, the military rations are all provided by Hanzhong. Who should be appointed as the governor of Hanzhong?"

Zhuge Liang said: "You can appoint Huang Zhong as governor and Li Hui as county official to take charge of Hanzhong affairs."

Liu Bei listened and nodded, saying, "That's good. Han Sheng and Zi Yu came from Jingnan together and are familiar with each other. There shouldn't be any problem."

After that, Fa Zheng said, "General Xing also asked for another general in the letter, Meng Da and Meng Zidu, to serve as an errand boy in the west city."

Of course Liu Bei also saw this in the letter.

But he was also very confused as to why Xing Daorong suddenly wanted Meng Da.

These two people have no intersection at all.
Fa Zheng didn't care about this. He was quite willing to watch Meng Da follow Xing Daorong to make meritorious deeds.

Like Fa Zheng, Meng Da was from Pingling County, Fufeng Commandery. The two of them had come together to seek refuge with Liu Zhang, but like Fa Zheng, Meng Da was not valued by Liu Zhang.

I originally wanted to find an opportunity to recommend my fellow townsman to Liu Bei, but I didn't expect Xing Daorong to take the initiative to mention it.

Seeing that Liu Bei was still hesitant, he stepped forward and bowed, "My lord, Meng Da is from the same hometown as me. He has been familiar with the Art of War since he was young. Since the general has taken the initiative to ask for him today, you can ask him to go and give it a try."

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Alright, tell Meng Da to set off immediately and go to Xicheng to listen to Ziyu's orders."

Fa Zheng had his own guesses, thinking that Xing Daorong knew that Meng Da and he were from the same hometown, and was deliberately trying to befriend him. He immediately returned the favor and said, "There is one more thing. I heard that Peng Ying was on his way to Jingzhou to take up his post, and no one knows where he went."

"According to the rules, they should have arrived in Jingzhou long ago, but they haven't reported in yet."

Zhuge Liang immediately said, "Peng Ying is a man of great ambitions but little talent. He is arrogant. I am afraid that the lord has already been very dissatisfied with letting him go to Jingzhou. Now he is either going north or east."

Fa Zheng also hated Peng Ying for this.

I recommended you to Liu Bei with good intentions, but not only did you provoke Liu Bei's trusted general in the hall, you even ran away!
How should I behave myself?

How would you view yourself after being raped by Xing Daorong?
In order to distance himself from the matter, Fa Zheng immediately said, "If Peng Ying escapes, I am afraid he will leak our military secrets. My lord, please tell all the checkpoints to be careful. If you see him, don't let him leave."

Liu Bei nodded slightly, agreeing to the matter.

But in fact, everyone knows that since Peng Ying ran away halfway, by the time they receive the news, he might have disappeared, so they can only rely on luck to catch him.

With everything settled in this way, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng should have felt more relaxed. After all, Xing Daorong had smoothly conquered the three eastern counties and captured the generals Ma Chao and Pang De, which were all things that made people cheer.

But the three of them looked heavy-hearted at the moment, and did not feel much relaxed.

Just because there was news coming from the north.

Cao Cao successfully suppressed the Hejian rebellion. On his way back to the capital, many people persuaded Cao Cao to be promoted to the title of king.

Although there is no real news about this matter yet, since the news can be released, it cannot be groundless!

And
In fact, Xing Daorong had already told Liu Bei that once Chengdu was successfully captured, the world would be divided into three parts, and the Emperor of Heaven and Cao Cao would no longer be needed.

The Cao family's claim to the throne as king and emperor is surely just around the corner!
Liu Bei knew that Cao Cao had already made up his mind!
Whether the four hundred-year-old Han Dynasty can continue, the fate no longer lies in Liu Xie's hands in Yecheng, but entirely in his own hands!
