Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 142 Battle of Xiangfan, the general sends troops!
Left and right governors...

When Xing Daorong heard the news, he knew that Jiangdong was in big trouble.

Jiangdong has gone astray.

How do the left and right commanders deal with this?

It's impossible!
By then, the Huaisi military group will support Lu Su, and the Jiangdong aristocratic families will support Lu Xun. Isn't this creating division?
But how could Sun Quan not know this trick?

The reason why Sun Quan used this setting of left and right generals was obviously because he had no other choice.

After Lu Su took office as the Left General, he wrote again, saying that he wanted to reconcile with Liu Bei.

Liu Bei agreed, and the two families agreed not to attack each other. The details are not elaborated here.

However, how could Sun Quan balance the affairs in Jiangdong by setting up left and right generals?

The current calm is only temporary, and there will naturally be more storms in the future.
In any case, it cannot be said that Liu Bei and Sun Quan have returned to the honeymoon period, but they have at least returned to the peace period.

After the great victory, Zhao Yun returned to Chengdu.

The prefects of the three counties in Jiaozhou were all from the aristocratic families of Yizhou and Jingzhou.

By the way, Pan Jun, who made great contributions in the Battle of Jiangling, went to Jiaozhi to serve as the prefect.

This guy originally led the Eastern Wu soldiers to kill traitors everywhere in Jingnan, but now he has become the governor of a county.

Although Mi Fang was still in Jiangling, his official position had been promoted.

Now that this guy's status is rising steadily and is almost catching up with his brother, he is naturally in a very good mood.

At this moment in Jiangling, Xing Daorong, Mi Fang and Bao Long, who was transferred from Hanzhong to Jiangling, were gathered together, drinking and sipping wine.

It's this guy Bao Long who has a face full of complaints.

"General! Why didn't you bring me with you?"

"It's true that we fought well in Hanzhong, but I still want to follow the general and make meritorious deeds!"

Bao Long drank a lot and his words started to drift.

Xing Daorong smiled bitterly and said, "Damn it, I didn't take you with me because I was afraid you would be in danger!"

"Who knows whether I will live or die during this trip to Jingzhou?"

"Why don't you ask Governor Mi, did he almost die in Jiangling City?"

When Mi Fang heard this, he had something to say!
He immediately said, "That's right. Lü Meng brought 30,000 troops here, and we only have 3,000 people in the city!"

"Even if the gap is ten times, I am not afraid at all. I was about to fight to the death when General Xing came here."

"If this had been a little bit off, I would have died in the city!"

Mi Fang is still very good at flattering himself.

But since we won, the result is good, so just give it a gilded plaque, there's nothing wrong with that.

Xing Daorong listened and smiled, "Prefect Mi is brave, otherwise it would be hard to say what the outcome would be."

Mi Fang was a little dissatisfied when he heard this and said, "Zi Yu, we are also friends who have risked our lives for each other. Why do you have to address me in such a polite way?"

Discuss the deeds but not the heart.

Regardless of whether Mi Fang was cowardly at the beginning, he still made great contributions.

Without his persistence, no matter how long he could have held out, if Jiangling surrendered in advance, Xing Daorong would have been overwhelmed by Lu Meng's army.

He nodded and said, "Brother Zifang is right. We are friends who have risked our lives for each other, and we will be brothers in the future."

When Bao Long heard this, he said hurriedly: "The general's brother is also my elder brother."

Then he raised his glass to Mi Fang and said, "Brother Governor, I toast to you."

Mi Fang was polite to Bao Long, knowing that he was Xing Daorong's close general, so he raised his cup and said, "General Bao, you don't have to be polite. Just drink!" After that, he raised his cup and drank deeply, but suddenly said, "I heard that Cao Cao has sent more troops to Xiangfan recently. If this continues, I'm afraid the general may have to go to war again at any time."

Xing Daorong knew about this a long time ago.

The Battle of Xiangfan lasted for several months.

From the initial local friction between Cao Ren and Guan Yu, to the later reinforcements from both sides, it has gradually become a tactic of adding fuel to the fire for both sides.

Now Cao Cao has dispatched Sima Yi, Xu Huang and Le Jin to lead troops. If Liu Bei does not want to retreat from Xiangfan, he can only continue to increase his troops.

As for mobilizing troops, it would definitely be most convenient for Xing Daorong.

However, Xing Daorong disagreed. There were only so many people in Jingzhou, and if they mobilized more troops, there would be no more.

Having said that, it is not very appropriate to start from Hanzhong or Yizhou.

Although Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong retreated in Hanzhong, their troops were still there. If Hanzhong moved, the other side would definitely attack again.

Hanzhong is the gateway to Yizhou and cannot be moved.

Yizhou is also the base camp. Although it is the time to mobilize troops after the autumn harvest, the first year after entering Yizhou is not suitable for a major war.

Xing Daorong thought, if it really doesn't work, Guan Yu might have to retreat.

He smiled and said, "Whether to send troops or not, just follow the lord's orders. If you really want to go, you will charge in front and sacrifice your life."

Mi Fang listened and was filled with admiration.

Let alone anything else, Xing Daorong really doesn't care about his life.

He nodded and said, "If Zi Yu goes, don't worry. I will definitely keep a good watch on Dong Wu for Zi Yu."

If it weren't for the incident with Lu Meng, Xing Daorong would definitely not be able to trust Mi Fang.

But after this incident, I believe that even if the Eastern Wu army was at the gates of Jiangling City, Mi Fang would wait and see whether Xing Daorong would show up.

He nodded slightly, but in his heart he still didn't think Liu Bei would ask him to go.

After all, there are no soldiers!
How can we fight this war without soldiers?
What he never expected was that Liu Bei might not have any other soldiers, but he had a group of troops that he could use anytime and anywhere.

Which troops?
It was Chen Dao’s Bai Li personal guard!

When Chen Dao came to Jiangling with the Bai Li soldiers, Xing Daorong was completely confused.

Even though all of Liu Bei's personal soldiers have been dispatched, the situation shouldn't have reached such a desperate point!

However, it is impossible for Chen Dao to mobilize troops on his own like Xing Daorong did. This must be Liu Bei's instruction.

When Chen Dao saw Xing Daorong, he bowed and said in a completely businesslike manner: "General Xing, the King of Hanzhong has ordered me to follow you to Xiangfan to support General Guan."

Xing Daorong's own 3,000 troops, plus Chen Dao's 2,000 Bai Li soldiers, totaled only 5,000 people.

To be honest, sending 5,000 people to Xiangfan really became a tactic of adding fuel to the fire.

But didn't Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang know that this was not a large number of troops?
Seeing Xing Daorong accept the military order, Chen Dao continued, "The King of Hanzhong has said that if we really cannot take Xiangfan this time, we should withdraw our troops."

It turned out to be the last fight.

If the struggle continues like this, the national strength of Shu Han will eventually be no match for that of Cao Wei. If they want to take action against Cao Cao, they have to make long-term plans.

Xing Daorong understood his mission and said, "Since the King of Hanzhong has given the order, we should set out immediately without further delay."

Chen Dao responded immediately.

So after the peace talks with Jiangdong ended and Liu Bei took over the three counties of Jiaozhou, at the end of the year, the left general Xing Daorong led Liu Bei's elite Bai Li soldiers and set out from Jiangling to Xiangfan.

And now, it is finally time to talk about how far Guan Yu fought with Cao Ren in Xiangfan.

Speaking of which, Guan Yu was once a powerful figure throughout China, but how come he couldn't do the same thing when he arrived? He even failed to capture Xiangyang.
