Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 152 Lure the snake out of its hole
Xing Daorong didn't mean to make the situation sound so serious.

It is precisely this situation that is truly serious.

Xing Daorong knew very well that as long as he left Xiangyang to rescue, Cao's troops would surely arrive.

Instead, we need to use a small number of people to rescue
The reason why Sima Yi surrounded the city but did not attack was that he was waiting for this moment!
It is impossible to defend the city, and it is impossible to rescue people. It is really a dilemma.

Xing Daorong knew that if he was a little "soft", he would be disrupted by Sima Yi's schemes.

It’s better to take a different approach and go for it!
Find a way to escape from Sima Yi's conspiracy!
That night.

Xing Daorong gathered his troops and marched towards the river with great fanfare.

When we reached the river, we boarded the boat.

However, it was not easy to get 10,000 people on board. We dragged our feet and it took more than half an hour to complete the task.

Xing Daorong was not in a hurry at all, he just looked far away in the direction of Xiangyang.

It was so quiet on the other end, without any change, that Xing Daorong felt his heart pounding.

"General. Is it okay for General Chen to go there? Will the city be taken away directly?"

Bao Long obviously also felt the tense atmosphere.

He spoke very cautiously, which seemed a little creepy in the dark.

Xing Daorong clapped his hands and Bao Long said, "In order to make the Cao soldiers hiding here believe that we are really going to help, I left two thousand people to Chen Dao to guard the city. I am afraid that if they can't hold it, everything will be over."

Bao Long was hit on the shoulder and felt very painful, but he didn't dare to make a sound.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "General, could it be that there was no sneak attack by Cao's soldiers at all?"

This Bao Long is doubting himself and is fighting a battle of wits with the air.

Xing Daorong said: "It would be better if there is none, but Sima Yi is an old villain, his schemes are sinister, I dare not not be on guard."

"Ok?"

"Is Sima Yi very old?"

"She seems to be about the same age as the general..."

Bao Long felt that there was something obviously wrong with the name Xing Daorong, but now was not the time to study such things.

He just said: "I think that Sima Yi is not capable of planning everything. If he were really that powerful, he would have been famous all over the world long ago!"

Xing Daorong ignored Bao Long's chatter and just looked in the direction of Xiangyang.

Unfortunately there is no signal.

Xing Daorong was helpless, fearing that Cao's scouts would discover something, so the army could only board the ship and leave a few troops to pay attention to the direction of Xiangyang.

It was almost dawn when someone came to report that a fire had suddenly appeared on the other side of the city!
Xing Daorong jumped up from the boat and shouted, "Here we come!"

Bao Long was startled by Xing Daorong's shout, and immediately called the army back to the shore without Xing Daorong's orders.

The army was well prepared and turned around to make a smooth move.

Turning around and leaning back to the shore, Xing Daorong led his troops to fight back without saying a word.

really!

However, just at dawn, they saw that the city was full of Cao's soldiers.

Led by their generals, they attacked the city walls fiercely.

Xing Daorong couldn't bear it and rushed forward to kill him.

The Cao soldiers who were attacking the city obviously did not expect that Liu's army would come back to attack.

They were completely unprepared and were directly defeated by Xing Daorong.

Xing Daorong led Wu Yi and Bao Long to hack and kill all the way, killing them back and forth.

They fought from dawn till noon before they stopped.

Wu Yi and Bao Long were already very impressed!
Know things like a god!

That's all!

If they were allowed to stay here, they would have taken the entire army to support the other side without looking back. How could they have imagined that there was another army waiting for an opportunity to strike!

Simply amazing!
Wu Yi grabbed Xing Daorong and said, "General Zi Yu! How do you calculate these things? Teach me..."

Bao Long laughed at the side and said, "Hey, the generals in front have already analyzed it, how else can we teach it?"

Bao Long's ability to change his expression is also unique. Earlier he said that he was fighting wits and courage with the air, and now he boasted that he was a prophet.

But at the moment, Xing Daorong had no intention of listening to any boasting or praise.

But he said to Bao Long: "I have already lured out the poisonous snakes in Xiangyang. General Bao, you take a thousand men to defend the city. No one should be able to launch a surprise attack again."

"General Chen, General Wu, let's go and support Yun Chang quickly. We can't stop for a moment, or Yun Chang will be in danger."

It is indeed dangerous for Guan Yu to be surrounded and not fight now.

Sima Yi might launch an attack at any time, time waits for no one!

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Seeing Xing Daorong so serious, no one dared to say anything more. They just took the order and left quickly.

...

Outside Fancheng.

Guan Yu looked very unhappy.

Her face, which was already slightly red, was now as red as a date.

Looking at the military commander Wang Lei, he sighed and said, "The other day the commander taught me to be careful with my retreat, but I knew Xiangyang was behind us and didn't take it seriously."

"Now that the water fort has been robbed, I don't know how the 20,000-strong army will return to Xiangyang."

Wang Lei said: "General, don't panic. General Xing is in Xiangyang and will definitely come to rescue you."

While they were talking, they saw Guan Ping and Liao Hua running into the tent.

But the two of them looked solemn, and it was obvious that something important had happened.

Guan Ping saw Wang Lei and didn't even have time to greet him. He turned to Guan Yu and said, "Father, there are rumors everywhere in Cao's camp that Xiangyang has been captured. We have no way out!"

"What!" Guan Yu heard this and shouted, standing up and grabbing the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, and asked anxiously: "How can Xiangyang be defeated with Zi Yu?"

Guan Ping said: "The news from Cao's camp is that when General Xing came to support, the city was ambushed by Cao's soldiers who were lying in wait in Xiangyang, and was broken this time."

Guan Yu was even more surprised: "Is this news true? Where is Zi Yu?"

Guan Ping shook his head: "I don't know where it is, it's all news from Cao's camp."

"But after this news came out, Cao's troops have been mobilized frequently, and it seems that they are about to attack."

Guan Yu's face darkened and he remained silent for a while.

Wang Lei on the side said quickly: "General! In this case, we should break out!"

Guan Yu shook his head: "The water fort is destroyed. Even if I can break through, how can these 20,000 soldiers return to Xiangyang?"

Wang Lei was speechless after hearing this.

The water fort was destroyed and all the boats were gone. It’s impossible for these 20,000 people to swim across the Han River!

But I have to leave!
Besides, if we don’t leave now, it will be very difficult to escape when Cao’s soldiers really come and surround us from the front and back.

He could not help but advise: "General! There is no plan available at the moment. You can only save yourself first and don't follow the path of Lu Meng. Should we retreat or not?"

The generals and soldiers of Liu Bei's family have "replayed" the battle of Lu Meng's surprise attack on Jingzhou. If Lu Meng had retreated from Gong'an instead of going to Jingnan when his surprise attack on Jiangling failed, he would not have been in such a desperate situation.

Today, Wang Lei brought up the lesson of Lu Meng, and he was really anxious.

Guan Ping on the side also said anxiously: "Father, let's break out!"

Guan Yu remained silent, and when everyone became anxious, he slowly said: "Although the situation is critical, we must not lose our reason."

"Since Zi Yu left Jingnan, he has won every battle. How come he was defeated in Xiangyang?"

Hearing Guan Yu's trust in Xing Daorong, Guan Ping and others had no objection.

Xing Daorong's achievements in Hanzhong and Jingzhou were so impressive that countless people in the army were amazed.

This reason may not sound very reliable, but Guan Ping and others were not so anxious for the moment.

Guan Yu saw that everyone had finally quieted down, and then he continued, "Besides...if there was another problem in Xiangyang, how could Cao's camp spread the news in such detail!"

"I guess... this is intentional for us to hear!"
