Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 151 Sima Yi's Conspiracy
What Xing Daorong said made sense, but only when you were on the battlefield could you feel the pity of being just one step away from taking the city, but just couldn't.

Besides, when a general is facing an enemy, he will know how powerful the enemy is and whether they are elite as soon as they fight.

In Fancheng, if they had not been at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, they would have rushed in long ago.

So Guan Ping listened to Xing Daorong's words, and although he nodded for a while, he still advised: "General Zuo, it would be a pity if Fancheng failed. You can send troops to try, and if it fails, you can return to Xiangyang!"

In the Battle of Xiangfan, the slightest deviation would have meant eternal damnation. How could we even try?

Xing Daorong finally refused, saying, "Cao Cao is very treacherous in his use of troops, and with Sima Yi here, we dare not move the troops in Xiangyang."

"Just let Yunchang know that it's not that I won't send out troops, it's that I can't do it."

When Guan Ping heard that Xing Daorong finally refused, he could not force him any further and could only go back to report.

A hundred miles outside Fancheng.

A troop of soldiers and horses has been stationed at the mouth of the river.

The soldiers moving back and forth inside were very fast, and seemed to be very busy.

Xu Huang beside Sima Yi asked, "Can this really create a rift between Guan Yu and Xing Daorong?"

"Cao Ren's idea is indeed good. Guan Yu is arrogant and can cause the two to fight each other." Sima Yi looked at the Han River with a calm expression: "The direction is right, but the method is wrong."

"Although Guan Yu was arrogant, he was not a fool on the battlefield. He used a letter to try to alienate the two men, which showed that he looked down on them."

"Only when the credit for the siege is truly given to Guan Yu, will he call for troops to be dispatched from Xiangyang for this credit."

Xu Huang listened to Sima Yi's plain words, which seemed to be well calculated in every aspect, and he admired him deeply.

just
"Over in Xiangyang, Xing Daorong seems to have not moved yet." Xu Huang reminded.

How could Sima Yi not know?
His expression was still calm as he said, "Although Xing Daorong is always the vanguard, he is very cautious. Look at him in Hanzhong. After defeating Cao Hong, he did not rush forward. It can be seen that he is calm and composed."

"If Guan Yu wants to send troops to Xiangyang, he will definitely refuse!"

Xu Huang listened and nodded repeatedly, saying: "If so, then there will definitely be a rift between the two of them, but is that so?"

Sima Yi shook his head and said, "Xing Daorong has saved Liu Bei several times, and Guan Yu is loyal to Liu Bei. Even if he doesn't send troops, Guan Yu can't really blame him. It's just..."

Hearing Sima Yi stop talking halfway, Xu Huang finally couldn't help but ask curiously, "Just what?"

Sima Yi's eyes flashed with a bit of cruelty, and his tone suddenly turned cold: "But if Guan Yu is in trouble, Xing Daorong can't help but send troops!"

"Guan Yu is now desperately attacking Fancheng. Let's cut off his escape route and isolate him in Jiangyou. When Xing Daorong hears the news, he will definitely send troops to rescue us."

"Once he leads his army away, we can counterattack Xiangyang!"

As he spoke, he called out to Xu Huang, "Has General Le Jin crossed the river yet?"

Xu Huang's heart sank, and he felt a sense of murderous intent coming towards him.

He quickly responded, "We have crossed the river!"

Sima Yi immediately gave the order: "Tonight, attack Guan Yu's rear and burn all of Guan Yu's water forts. Don't leave him a single boat!"

"I have trapped Guan Yu under Fancheng. I don't believe Xing Daorong will remain indifferent!"

"Wait for Xing Daorong to send out his troops, and have Le attack Xiangyang. This way, we will surely be able to take back this important city of Jingzhou!"

Xu Huang's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He felt that Sima Yi had really calculated everything in just a few words.

He dared not show any strange expression on his face, and quickly ordered his troops to go. On the battlefield, verbal attacks are always inferior to real sword and gun competitions.

Guan Yu first won a great victory at Han River, and then at Fancheng, he defeated Cao's army without any chance to fight back. Fancheng was in a precarious situation, making it difficult for Guan Yu to let go.

If you focus on fighting forward, you won't be able to protect your butt.

Sima Yi and Xu Huang directly burned the water fort and the ships crossing the river, and they were immediately isolated across the river.

Although the reinforcements were just across the river in Xiangyang, when Xing Daorong learned the news, he instantly felt that things were not good.

At this moment in the main mansion of Xiangyang City, Xing Daorong, Chen Dao and Wu Yi all looked uglier than the other. But Bao Long was quite relaxed, as if he was prepared to have someone else to hold up the sky even if it fell.

"Zi Yu, Guan Yu is trapped across the river, what should we do?"

Wu Yi asked this question, and it was clear that he had no idea what to do.

Chen Dao, who was standing by, said, "General Guan is trapped, so we must go and rescue him. I think it would be better to cross the Han River at night and bring General Guan back."

"If this continues for a long time, the general might be in danger!"

A surrounded army would certainly be in danger if it had no support.

Especially when logistics are cut off, collapse can happen in an instant.

Guan Yu was trapped, with Cao Ren and Yu Jin on one side and Sima Yi and Xu Huang on the other. He couldn't break out. If this continued, he would not be stabbed in the back by the White Clothes Crossing the River, but would be defeated by Sima Yi in Fancheng.

If Xing Daorong didn't go to rescue him, wouldn't he become Liu Feng?
As long as we go to rescue, it will be difficult to guarantee the safety of Xiangyang.

He could instantly feel Liu Feng's distress back then. This matter was indeed very likely to go wrong, and he didn't believe that Sima Yi's plan would only stop there.

must.
They will definitely launch a surprise attack on Xiangyang.

Xing Daorong's confidence came entirely from his understanding of Sima Yi, but to be honest, he couldn't tell anyone about this feeling of belonging to a certain destiny, so he just said seriously: "If the troops move, Xiangyang will be lost."

"Today, the only choice before us is to take Xiangyang or to rescue General Guan."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Chen Daoxian said: "We fought for Xiangyang for several months and finally took it back. How can we lose it again!"

"If the general feels there is danger, I will lead two thousand soldiers to rescue, and the general will just defend the city."

Chen Dao thought this idea was the best of both worlds.

However, Xing Daorong shook his head and said, "General Guan Yu's 20,000 troops are trapped on the other side of the river. It can be seen that Cao's army is composed of elite soldiers and generals. I'm afraid that 2,000 people will not have enough boats."

This sounds reasonable, but we can’t just not save people!
Chen Dao said anxiously: "If General Guan fights hard, he can always break out of the encirclement, but with only 20,000 soldiers, it may be difficult to rescue them. Is there really no way?"

Wu Yi seemed to understand Xing Daorong's meaning, but he still couldn't believe it.

Hesitantly asked, "Zi Yu, are you planning to give up Xiangyang?"

Xing Daorong suddenly stood up, looked at everyone, his face stern, his eyes very determined, and said: "We fought hard to get Xiangyang City back, but Yunchang can't help but save it!"

"It is now a life-or-death moment. If we take a wrong step, not only will we be in danger, but Yun Chang will also be in danger!"

"Everyone, today is the time for a life-and-death battle again!"

...

PS: I still couldn’t resist and ordered the Black Monkey. Ouch, it smells so good!
