Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 11: Taking Sister-in-law to Seek Help

Xing Daorong was a little confused when he heard that Liu Du sent him to Changsha.

Aren't we all going to surrender?
Why do you want me to go to Changsha to find Han Xuan again?

What kind of job is Liu Du doing?
Xing Daorong really didn't understand what his prefect was thinking.

However, considering Liu Du's ability, it is not surprising that he would do something amazing.

But it's always a good thing that he's doing something.

The more capable he is, the more opportunities he will have.

Without hesitation, and without asking Liu Du whether he still wanted to surrender, he took the order and went to Changsha for help.

Originally, I could have gone alone to ask for help, but unexpectedly, something unexpected happened just before leaving the city.

...

"Zhao Taishou... I am here to seek help. I am afraid it is not appropriate to bring my sister-in-law with me."

In front of the city gate, Xing Daorong looked at Fan beside Zhao Fan with a helpless look on his face.

I don't know what Zhao Fan was thinking. He was going there to seek help, not to travel, so why did he ask me to bring his widowed sister-in-law with me?
But Zhao Fan seemed quite insistent, and said, "General Xing, since the war here is difficult to end for the time being, it is not safe for the family to stay here."

"It's better to send him to Changsha, where there is peace for now."

Xing Daorong shook his head and said, "Safety is only temporary. No one in the four counties of southern Jing can escape."

Xing Daorong really didn't want to take Fan with him. Wouldn't she be a pure burden?

Besides, once he arrives in Changsha, to whom can he entrust Fan?
I can't just find a place for her to stay...

Xing Daorong really didn't want to get involved in this trouble and still wanted to refuse.

On the contrary, Fan Yufeng seemed to see Xing Daorong's concerns and took the initiative to say, "General Xing, just take me to Changsha. I will have a safe place there, so you don't need to worry about it."

Xing Daorong was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that his concerns could be seen through at once.

"Sister-in-law is sister-in-law after all!"

"As for the ability to read people's expressions, it's not something that any other girl can compare to."

Thinking this in his heart, Xing Daorong saw that he couldn't resist, so he nodded and said, "In that case, sister-in-law will follow me to Changsha."

Zhao Fan was overjoyed and quickly asked someone to send over a carriage.

But what I never expected was that the person sitting in the carriage was Bao Long.

Although he was not a great general, he was at least Zhao Fan's personal general. Why didn't he lead the troops here, but instead sent his widowed sister-in-law there?

But even though he felt strange, it was not something Xing Daorong should study right now.

So he took Bao Long and Fan to Changsha.

...

Changsha is not too far from Lingling, but Xing Daorong was in a hurry, causing Fan Yufeng in the carriage to suffer.

But the physical hardship is nothing; the psychological pressure is even more difficult.

And the source of this pressure...has to start with what Fan Yufeng's uncle told her before she set out.

...

But that day, after Zhao Fan learned that Liu Du had sent Xing Daorong to Changsha for help, he found his sister-in-law.

It explained that Fan Yufeng was going to follow Xing Daorong to Changsha.

When Fan Yufeng first heard this, her reaction was similar to Xing Daorong's. She was also very surprised and didn't know what her uncle meant.

He just said, "Uncle, does Lingling still want to fight?"

Zhao Fan snorted coldly and said, "Fight? Liu Du is so brave..."

Fan Yufeng was even more surprised to hear what Zhao Fan said, and said inexplicably: "I think Governor Liu has no intention of fighting, so why did he ask General Xing to go to Changsha?"

Zhao Fan's expression was still grim, and he said coldly: "Marching troops and fighting is indeed not my forte, but I know Liu Du's thoughts very well."

"Since Xing Daorong led troops to fight Liu Bei in Lingling twice, he has gained a lot of support in the city." "Liu Du is obsessed with power. He was afraid that Liu Bei would give the position of prefect to Xing Daorong, so he hurriedly sent him away."

"If my guess is correct, once Xing Daorong leaves, Liu Du will definitely open the city and surrender."

Fan Yufeng was even more confused.

She asked doubtfully, "If that's the case, isn't Lingling a peaceful place? Why should I go there?"

Zhao Fan naturally had his own little plans.

Since Guiyang had already been captured by Liu Bei through a surprise attack, it was basically wishful thinking for me, the original governor of Guiyang, to continue to be the chief official of the county.

Zhao Fan naturally couldn't accept this fact, but he had no choice but to accept it!
Liu Bei has the army at his command, so you have no right to speak!

Unless... you can find someone you can talk to.

Looking at the entire Guiyang and Lingling, the only person who could be valued and employed by Liu Bei could be Xing Daorong.

How could Zhao Fan not jump on Xing Daorong's train?

But when I talk to my sister-in-law, I really can't explain my thoughts so clearly.

He said, "Liu Du deliberately sent General Xing away. How could this little trick escape Zhuge Liang's eyes?"

"With such a scheming mind, you will not be happy."

"In that case, why don't you go with Xing Daorong and give him some advice along the way? Don't let him hear that Lingling has surrendered when he arrives in Changsha and becomes embarrassed."

"I'll ask Bao Long to go with you, and tell him to do whatever you want."

Fan Yufeng was a woman and didn't want to get involved in such calculations.

But once you are in the world, you have no choice. For the sake of her own future, Fan Yufeng can only try to find a backer for herself.

As for the question of whether the surname is Zhao or not...

It would be best if your surname is Zhao, but if your surname isn’t Zhao, it doesn’t matter.

Seeing that they were almost in Changsha, they knew it was time, and suddenly someone in the carriage called out, "General Xing... General Xing..."

Xing Daorong was originally leading the way on horseback, and when he heard the calls from inside the carriage, he couldn't pretend not to hear them.

He immediately came to the side of the carriage and asked, "Madam, what's wrong?"

Fan Yufeng has been thinking about how to start the conversation these days. After much thought, she decided that it would be better to get straight to the point and not beat around the bush.

But he said, "General... we are almost in Changsha, what are your plans?"

Although Xing Daorong was surprised that she asked the question even though she knew the answer, he still leaned over to the side of the horse and replied, "Of course I went to ask Governor Han for help."

Unexpectedly, Fan said, "If the general really plans to do so, he will be laughed at."

joke?

Xing Daorong didn't understand and didn't know where the word "joke" came from.

To be honest, he didn't take Fan's words to heart.

I just felt that this widowed sister-in-law knew nothing, and couldn't help but look down on her and said, "Don't worry about these ladies, I will take care of it myself."

Fan Yufeng heard the contempt in Xing Daorong's voice.

I was anxious, afraid that I couldn't explain it clearly, so I hurriedly said, "General Xing, please listen to me patiently."

Xing Daorong really has no patience.

Fearing that Liu Bei would have entered the city by the time he left, he saw that Fan didn't seem to have anything really important to do, so he said, "Madam, if you have anything to say, wait until I call for reinforcements before you tell me."

Having said that, he was ready to move forward again.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Fan Yufeng became a little anxious.

She lifted the curtain, revealing her haggard face and said, "General Xing... you should get into the carriage and talk..."
