Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 12 Liu Du surrendered?
Xing Daorong finally got into Fan's carriage.

It was not because of the pitiful look in Fan's eyes, but because of her seriousness that he thought this widowed sister-in-law really had something important to do, so he got into the carriage.

However, the carriage that Fan took when leaving the city this time was not very big, and when Xing Daorong, a big and strong man, sat in it, it instantly became a bit crowded.

The two of them could only sit down by putting their legs together and knees against each other.

It’s just that Xing Daorong’s body is too “huge”, squeezing Fan Yufeng like a pitiful little bird.

She even felt a sense of oppression, which made Fan Yufeng a little nervous.

After a lot of effort, he calmed down and said, "General Xing... I don't know where to start with this matter, but you have to find out what is going on in Lingling before you can enter Changsha."

Fan Yufeng also thought about using some hints or indirect methods, but she was afraid that Xing Daorong would not understand and it would be troublesome to explain it herself, so she just said it bluntly.

What Xing Daorong fears most is that something might go wrong in Lingling.

Upon hearing this, he immediately asked in surprise, "Could it be that Madam has already received the news that Lingling has been defeated?"

Fan Yufeng shook her head and said, "I have been with the general these days, how can I get any other news?"

"Then... it's just Madam's guess?" Xing Daorong felt a little relieved.

Fan Yufeng saw that Xing Daorong still didn't understand, so she could only change her tone and say, "General Xing, Lingling needs help, so they only need to send a messenger. Why did they ask you, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, to go? Have you ever thought about it?"

Xing Daorong didn't think there was anything wrong.

"I'm afraid that an ordinary person would be easily rejected if he went, so I was asked to go so that I can act according to circumstances."

When Fan Yufeng heard that Xing Daorong had even found an excuse for Liu Du, she couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I thought to myself: "General Xing is really honest. He didn't even doubt Liu Du at all."

"It's a pity... not everyone in this world is so sincere to others."

Thinking of this, Fan Yufeng felt better about Xing Daorong.

It is said that bad men are more popular with women, but widows like Fan Yufeng will eventually prefer some more honest men.

Seeing that Xing Daorong was not on guard at all, Fan Yufeng said seriously and sincerely: "General Xing, the reason why I asked you to ask for help is actually to get you out of the way so that Liu Du can hand over the city."

"Otherwise Liu Bei might make you the governor of Lingling to appease the people, and Liu Du would not know what to do with himself."

Fan Yufeng was afraid that Xing Daorong might not understand, so she explained it clearly all at once.

Xing Daorong really didn't expect that there were so many tricks in this, and he felt that Liu Du was really thinking too much.

But if that's really the case, Liu Du has already surrendered, so what's the point of going to Changsha for help?
Xing Daorong really lost his direction for a moment.

Seeing Xing Daorong's silence, Fan Yufeng knew that anyone who encountered such a thing would have to think about it.

I couldn't help but feel a little pity for General Xing, thinking that he was dedicated to the public, but he was still being schemed against by others.

With her delicate hands, she grasped Xing Daorong's rough hands and comforted him, "General, don't worry. As long as you don't go to Changsha and return to Lingling, the knot will be untied."

To be honest, when the widow Fan put her hand into his, Xing Daorong couldn't help but feel a little moved.

This pretty widow is really bold. She dares to flirt with a man and a woman alone in such a small carriage.

"Does she want me to be her ex-husband's successor?"

"But my last name isn't Zhao... I don't meet the requirements!"

However, the focus at this moment is not on Fan's attitude towards him.

...

"This is just what your family said. If Governor Liu is still waiting for my reinforcements, and I don't go to Changsha, wouldn't that be a betrayal?"

"No matter what, let's talk about it after we meet Governor Han of Changsha!"

Fan Yufeng really didn't expect that after she had made her point clear, Xing Daorong was so inflexible and wanted to go to Changsha.

He was surprised and said, "As soon as Liu Du surrendered, the general went to ask for reinforcements, which put the general in a dilemma. If he surrenders to Liu Bei again in the future, I'm afraid he will not be valued." Xing Daorong had no plans for the future at all.

The important thing is to quickly become a super rich second generation yourself, no one cares about the future!

He just shook his head and said seriously: "No, before I left Lingling, the governor asked me to ask for troops. How can I change my mind halfway?"

"If I give up halfway, wouldn't I be considered a coward who runs away from the battlefield?"

"Madam, there is no need to say more. I have made up my mind on this matter!"

Fan Yufeng felt a headache when she saw that Xing Daorong couldn't make sense no matter what he said.

Uncle still wants to board Xing Daorong’s ship. Could it be a pirate ship?

Thinking of this, Fan Yufeng no longer held Xing Daorong's hand.

He thought to himself that Xing Daorong was just a warrior and didn't know how to use his brain.

In this case, he no longer had any intention of persuading them. He thought that after seeing Zhao Fan again, he should talk to him and ask him to find a way to help the two of them gain a foothold in Liu Bei's army again.

...

After Fan Yufeng gave up Xing Daorong, the two of them moved even faster.

Xing Daorong traveled all night and arrived in Changsha early the next morning.

He had just given his name when two teams of people surrounded him in an instant.

The leading general looked unhappy. He squinted his eyes at Xing Daorong and said with a scrutinizing expression, "General Xing... you were fighting against Liu Bei in Lingling, why are you here?"

Xing Daorong said: "I am here under orders to ask for reinforcements to help Lingling."

"Liu Bei's army has already launched a surprise attack on Guiyang. If we don't get any help, it's only a matter of time before Lingling is destroyed."

Xing Daorong thought it over and he knew he would be able to convince Han Xuan by appealing to his emotions and reasoning with him.

I just don’t want to…

After coming to Changsha, it seemed that I couldn’t even see Han Xuan.

This will stop me now, as if no one can enter.

But he said, "General Xing, you know more about Lingling than we do. Why are you talking nonsense here?"

"The governor of Lingling, Liu Du, was a coward. When he saw Liu Bei coming, he opened the city and surrendered. How come you say he's a hero who put up a strong resistance?"

"Nonsense!" Xing Daorong was shocked when he heard this, and immediately realized that Fan was right. However, he reacted quickly and cursed loudly.

"I just left the city three days ago. It's only been a few days. How can the governor surrender?"

"Who are you? Why are you talking nonsense here?"

Xing Daorong is taking the initiative.

I know something must have gone wrong in Lingling, but I can only pretend to be clueless for now.

The general saw that Xing Daorong did not seem to be lying, so he finally frowned and said, "I am Yang Ling, the captain of the army. As for whether it is nonsense or not... humph, you will know when you return to Lingling!"

After saying this, he waved his hand and was about to see the guest off.

This really embarrassed Xing Daorong.

He went back home without even seeing Han Xuan. What a big deal.

As for Yang Ling, he was the last of the "Five Tigers of Southern Jing". In the book, he fought against Guan Yu before Huang Zhong, but was killed in three rounds.

With his appearance, the "Five Tigers of Jingnan" were finally complete.
