Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 130: Lü Meng's Defeat in Nanping County

When Xing Daorong learned that something was not right in Jingnan, he knew he could not just sit there and do nothing, so he eventually led 6,000 soldiers and horses to Guiyang.

But I had to be a little cautious along the way.

He was afraid that if Lu Meng turned back, he would be the one to run away.

But I didn’t expect that as I walked, I found myself becoming “Zhao Fan” of Jiangling.

Why?

It was because Lu Meng was stopped by Zhao Yun in front, and now he was surrounded.

It turned out that Zhao Yun was heading all the way to Jingnan with the intention of attacking Jiaozhou, but he discovered Lu Meng's army and was stopped.

Lu Meng never expected that he would meet Zhao Fan in Jiangling and Zhao Yun in Guiyang.

When Zhao Yun saw Lu Meng's army here, he was also shocked, but he reacted quickly and fought a direct battle.

Lü Meng was unable to gain victory and was attacked by Xing Daorong and the real Zhao Yun, so he had to retreat to Nanping County.

However, Xing Daorong successfully reunited with Zhao Yun.

"Zi Long!"

"Oh my! You really sent a divine force from the sky to completely destroy Lu Meng's chance of survival!"

When Xing Daorong saw Zhao Yun's state, he felt similar to Liu Bei, who wanted to fly to Jingzhou and kiss Xing Daorong.

Zhao Yun’s arrival really saved my life.

Lu Meng's path was blocked in one fell swoop, which was truly a complete and decisive blow.

Zhao Yun was also filled with emotion when he saw Xing Daorong's excited expression.

He was in Chengdu, so he knew exactly what happened in Jingzhou from what Liu Bei said.

From going against all odds and leading only 3,000 men to Jingzhou, to Jiangdong actually breaking his promise and relying on these 3,000 men to turn the tide!

This General Xing is truly a god!
At that moment, he just laughed and said, "General Xing, there is no need to be like this. If we want to turn the tide, it has to be you!"

Xing Daorong naturally knew how important he was, but he was a little nervous as he didn't know what Liu Bei would think about mobilizing troops privately.

But he said: "I am not sure what the lord will think of me if I mobilize the troops without permission this time."

Mobilizing troops without permission and executing them first and reporting later are indeed serious matters.

Although the behavior is not good, the heart is good!
What’s more, if Jiangdong really stabbed us in the back, that would be a completely different story.

Then Zhao Yun said, "General, don't worry. The lord will naturally distinguish right from wrong. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid that the situation in Jiangdong today would have turned out to be a big mistake."

"Let's not talk about that today, let's just focus on how to wipe out these treacherous people!
When talking about these people from Eastern Wu, Zhao Yun also gritted his teeth.

Zhao Yun is also a loyal and righteous man, so it is understandable that he hates it so much.

Xing Daorong nodded vigorously, his eyes flickering with determination to kill.

Nanping County is a small county.

If there is a comparison, it is similar to Maicheng.

Lu Meng was blocked here. He had soldiers and horses but no food or fodder. He could not get any help from heaven or earth.

When Xing Daorong heard the news, he thought it was a repeat of Guan Yu's defeat at Maicheng!
Immediately give the person a taste of his own medicine!
But he spread the word inside the city: "It is said that the Jiangdong army has been ambushed on all sides. Today's incident was all caused by Lu Meng alone. If there are any who surrender, they can stay or be sent directly back to Jiangdong."

As a result, many of the officers and soldiers in Lu Meng's army fled.

Lu Meng was furious and could only fight to the death in order to break through.

That night, Lu Meng fought desperately and urged the army to advance.

However, not long after they walked out of the city, they heard a sudden loud shout and a group of soldiers stopped them. The leading general was Huang Quan, who had followed Zhao Yun here.

When he saw Lü Meng, he shouted, "Why didn't Lü Ziming surrender earlier?"

Lü Meng cursed: "I am the commander-in-chief of Wu, how can I surrender to you?"

He immediately led his troops out and attacked Huang Quan in the front.

Xu Sheng attacked first and Huang Quan fled.

Seeing this, Lu Meng thought that if he killed as many as he could, he might be able to get away.

After chasing for more than 20 miles, they were led into a valley without knowing it. By the time they found out, it was too late to escape.

Just as they were about to withdraw, Guan Ping led his troops to charge out from the valley on the left, and Zhang Yi, Zhao Yun's deputy general, also led his troops to charge out from the valley on the right. Huang Quan turned his horse around and fought again, attacking from three directions.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Meng quickly withdrew his troops.

After walking for countless miles, they saw a crowd of people gathering on a hill in the south mountain. A large flag was waving with the words "Army of Justice" written on it. Everyone was urged to surrender quickly.

Lü Meng was frightened and wanted to go up the hill to kill him.

Two more armies rushed out from the mountain pass: Xing Daorong on the left and Zhao Yun on the right!

The three armies led by Huang Quan were combined, their shouts shook the earth, and their drums and horns sounded deafening, trapping Lü Meng in the core.

The soldiers under his command gradually faded away.

When the battle reached dusk, Lü Meng looked out over the four hills and saw enemy troops everywhere.

We kept telling this guy to surrender and we would not kill the prisoners. He kept shouting.

The morale of his troops changed and they all left in response.

Lü Meng could not stop shouting, and his followers dwindled, until in the end there were less than a thousand men left.

Besides, Xu Sheng and other generals were also killed and scattered at night, and no one knew where they went!

The fighting continued until three o'clock in the morning. There were shouts from the east. It was Xu Sheng and Dong Xi who divided their troops into two groups and broke into the encirclement to rescue Lu Meng.

Xu Sheng sighed and said, "The army is in disarray. We must temporarily camp in a city to wait for reinforcements. Although Nanping is small, it is large enough for a camp. We should return to Nanping first."

Lu Meng followed his advice and urged the remaining troops to return to Nanping, divided the troops into groups to guard the four gates, and gathered the generals to discuss matters.

Xu Sheng said: "This place is close to Yuzhang, we can go to Yuzhang to ask for help. If Yuzhang comes to rescue, the army will be relieved and we will be able to break the siege."

While they were discussing this, news came that troops from Jingzhou had arrived and were surrounding the city on all sides.

Lü Meng asked, "Who dares to break out and go to Yuzhang for help?"

Xu Sheng stepped forward and asked: "I am willing to go."

Dong Xi also stepped forward and said, "I will escort General Xu out of the encirclement."

Lu Meng immediately wrote a letter and gave it to Xu Sheng to hide beside him.

After eating, he mounted his horse and left the city.

However, outside the city, there were already thousands of soldiers besieging it. How could Xu Sheng get out?

...

"General Zhao, General Xing, there is a Wu general ahead trying to break out of the city!"

As soon as Xu Sheng rushed out of the city, someone came to report to Xing Daorong and Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun immediately ordered his men to surround and block the enemy, but Xing Daorong stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, Zilong. Just tell the enemy general to break out."

Zhao Yun was puzzled: "The enemy is already trapped in a jar, why let him go?"

Xing Daorong smiled a little sinisterly at this moment, and sneered: "He is just a general, so he can leave if he wants. What's the pity?"

"Nanping is far away from Jiangdong. The nearest place is Yuzhang County."

"But coming here from Yuzhang is also a difficult and arduous journey. It is definitely not an easy task."

"Who can come to the rescue?"

"By then the letter has been sent, but rescue is not possible. Lü Meng's defeat will naturally cause internal rifts within the Eastern Wu."

"Who knows...someone will blame Yuzhang for this."

"If there is chaos in Dongwu, it will naturally be a good thing for us, so just ask him to go."

Zhao Yun listened with admiration, thinking that no wonder General Xing had predicted the surprise attack from Jiangdong, and said that he himself could not have figured out these thoughts.

Without further ado, he ordered his men to deliberately let the two generals go.

So Xu Sheng and Dong Xi fought desperately to break out of the encirclement. Anyone who tried to stop them along the way was defeated and could only watch them leave.

Before the two of them left the city, they were determined to die. When they really broke through, they thought it was God's help, but they never thought that Xing Daorong deliberately let them go.
