Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 134: Three Dragons and Four Tigers of the Han Dynasty
However, after Liu Bei became king, he naturally sent people to report to various places.

Xiangfan.

When Guan Yu was attacking Xiangfan, he learned that his elder brother had proclaimed himself king. He sent Sima Fei Shi as an envoy, carrying the imperial edict to Xiangfan.

Guan Yu asked, "What title did the King of Hanzhong confer on me?"

Fei Shiying said: "Former General, the leader of the three dragons and four tigers."

Guan Yu asked: "Which three dragons and four tigers?"

Fei Shi responded: "Guan, Zhang, and Xing are the three dragons, Zhao, Ma, Huang, and Wei are the four tigers."

Although Guan Yu attacked Xiangyang fiercely, he was very clear about what would happen after his death.

Xing Daorong sent down divine soldiers to destroy the conspiracy of the Eastern Wu in his rear, and this matter had already been reported.

But he said: "Yide is my brother. Ziyu has saved my brother many times. Now in the battle of Jingzhou and Jiangling, he is protecting my rear. His position is equal to mine. That's fine."

After recognizing the three dragons, Guan Yu began to comment on the four tigers.

But he said: "Mengqi's family is famous, and Zilong has been with my brother for a long time, so he is my brother. He is ranked among the tiger generals, so there is nothing to say."

"Who are Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, that dare to be in the same league with me?"

So he refused to accept the seal.

Fei Yi laughed when he heard this and said, "General, you are wrong. Dragons and tigers are different. How can they be ranked in the same rank?"

"Besides... Xiao He and Cao Shen were the closest to Emperor Gaozu in the past when they were involved in major events, while Han Xin was a general who had fled from Chu. However, Han Xin was a king, higher than Xiao and Cao, and I have never heard that Xiao and Cao resented this."

"Although the King of Hanzhong has the title of three dragons and four tigers, he and the general are brothers and are considered as one. The general is the King of Hanzhong, and the King of Hanzhong is the general. How can he be equal to others?"

"General, you have received great favors from the King of Hanzhong. You should share the joys and sorrows with him. It is not appropriate to care about the high or low official titles. I hope the general will think about it carefully."

After hearing this, Guan Yu accepted the seal, which made Fei Yi feel relieved.

However, Fei Yi came here not only to confer a title, but also to give instructions on the war in Xiangfan.

Originally, the reason why Guan Yu was asked to attack Xiangfan was to reduce the threat to Hanzhong and the three eastern counties.

As a result, Guan Yu fought well, and the battle situation turned into Cao Cao's coalition forces retreating in Hanzhong. The Eastern Wu's sneak attack strategy was destroyed by Xing Daorong, and Xiangfan became the only hot spot on the battlefield.

The order Guan Yu received also changed from containment to "see if the opportunity arises to capture Xiangyang or Fancheng."

The reason why it was said to be a time to seize the opportunity was because Liu Bei did not want to fight a war that was too big.

The alliance with Eastern Wu has just broken up, and the soldiers of Jingzhou have been fighting for years, so they really need some rest.

So this command will feel a bit "speculative".

But Guan Yu frowned and said, "The city is surrounded now, why don't you attack it with all your strength?"

Fei Yi explained: "Since the emperor's uncle entered Jing, he has not had a break. Now the generals and soldiers are all tired, so this is what he said."

Guan Yu felt a little relieved after hearing this.

But he nodded slightly and said: "I don't need reinforcements. I can attack the two cities of Xiangfan with just these troops."

This is exactly what Fei Yi wanted to hear.

But he smiled and said, "General, it's not that the King of Hanzhong doesn't want to send reinforcements, he just has a hard time figuring out who to send."

"Now that I have heard what the general said, I will go back and ask the King of Hanzhong to quickly dispatch reinforcements from Yizhou to help the general."

Fei Yi obviously did his homework.

He knew that if he directly asked Guan Yu to help him attack Xiangfan, Guan Yu might not accept it and think that it was an underestimation of his ability.

After taking a detour and getting Guan Yu involved in it, he had nothing to say.

Sure enough, Guan Yu was stunned, but he smiled and said, "The war is the main thing, Sima, why bother with such a roundabout way of thinking?"

Fei Yi saw that his thoughts were exposed, but he just smiled and said nothing.

I just thought to myself: "If I don't go around in circles, I really don't know how much time and effort it will take."

It is actually easy to understand why Yizhou wanted to send reinforcements.

Right now the troops in Hanzhong and Jingzhou are not easy to move, so naturally only the troops in Yizhou can be moved.

However, Yizhou could not mobilize much. Zhao Yun also brought some troops to attack Jiaozhou, and troops must be left in various places for defense. Liu Bei made a quick calculation and found that he could still mobilize 5,000 troops to support Xiangfan.

However, although the soldiers are a little few, the general who leads the troops is very crucial.

Compared with Hanzhong where generals such as Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, and Ma Chao are all present, Guan Yu's side is indeed lacking in generals.

Naturally...the first person Liu Bei thought of was his left general Xing Daorong, but this time, there seemed to be too many people who wanted to join the battle.

Wu Yi...

It is the most positive one.

"King of Hanzhong, if you want to go to Xiangfan, just ask me to go. I will follow General Guan's arrangements and help him break the city!"

But on that day in the palace, Liu Bei began to discuss who should go to Xiangyang to provide assistance.

Wu Yi seemed very positive.

However, Liu Bei frowned slightly and wanted to ask Xing Daorong to lead the army.

In fact, he was still worried because Xing Daorong was the only one Liu Bei completely trusted.

It's a bit difficult at the moment.

However, Liu Bei underestimated the determination of the people of Yizhou.

Not only Wu Yi, but also Fa Zheng advised: "King of Hanzhong, General Xing has been running back and forth, so it would be too much trouble for him to go again. It would be better to ask General Wu to go."

Liu Bei had the same opinion, and suddenly realized something.

Three dragons and four tigers, three former veteran generals, three generals from Jingzhou, one famous general from Liangzhou, and not a single one from Yizhou.

Liu Bei had considered this matter when he was awarding rewards.

It’s just that Huang Zhong and Wei Yan both made contributions in Hanzhong, and Ma Chao’s reputation in Xiliang is there. As for Zhao Yun and Xing Daorong, there is no need to say more. No matter what you have to choose from, you can only choose these people.

But it looks like...

The people of Yizhou are still somewhat concerned about this matter.

After becoming king, the situation is completely different from when he was fighting for the throne.

"Indeed... we need to strike a balance."

After thinking it through, Liu Bei nodded slightly and said, "Since General Wu is eager to fight, let's ask him to go to Xiangfan to help Yunchang."

Wu Yi was overjoyed to hear this.

He immediately said "Yes" and left.

Seeing this, Xing Daorong felt a little depressed.

There are a lot of people in Hanzhong, and it seems that they have nothing to do.

With Zhao Yun in Jingnan, I have nothing to do.

During the Battle of Xiangfan, Liu Bei did not ask me to go, so I had nothing to do with it.

It is impossible to open up a new battlefield.

There is absolutely nothing to do!
Xing Daorong thought that this wouldn't really leave him idle.

This constant busyness really doesn't give me time to rest. I really don't know what to do.

No wonder there has always been a saying in ancient times that great generals died of depression because they were not reused. Xing Daorong felt a little depressed when he had some free time for a moment.

Just when he was feeling a little depressed, he heard Zhuge Liang say, "Ziyou, take a few days off. It's just right... I have something I want to ask you for advice."

What could Zhuge Liang possibly ask me for advice on?

Xing Daorong thought about it and realized that he was just being polite to him.

However, he indeed had not had a good chat with Zhuge Liang these days. Hearing that Zhuge Liang wanted to reminisce with him, Xing Daorong naturally had no objection.

He immediately kept silent in the hall, just waiting to see what Zhuge Liang would do with him.
