Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 154 The situation is stable, a brief peace

Fancheng.

Sima Yi, who was stationed in the city, did not even raise an eyebrow when he heard the news from outside that Guan Yu was rescued by Xing Daorong and returned to Xiangyang.

At the moment he was writing furiously, preparing to send some battle reports to Cao Cao.

In fact, Sima Yi was just a "newbie" at the moment.

Of course, it is a bit of an exaggeration to say that he is a "newcomer". Compared with the "old thief" in the future, Sima Yi's status at this moment is far from as high as it will be in the future.

It can even be said that among the strategists in Cao Cao's camp, he ranks behind many others.

Today's plan failed and Xiangyang was lost. Naturally, I have to explain to Cao Cao.

"I already know about this. Today's defeat is due to my poor calculations. I will personally apologize to the King of Wei."

After listening to the report, Sima Yi said calmly and continued to write his own report.

"King of Wei: In Liu Bei's army, Guan Yu is a man of unrivalled courage, but he is slow in doing things and only cares about the beginning and not the end. Although he can take the heads of enemy generals from among thousands of troops, he has flaws in leading troops and is not to be feared."

"Among the troops, the one who is more worrying is Xing Daorong."

"Xing Daorong is a man who is rigorous in his work, but he is also willing to risk everything, not sparing his life. He is bold but careful, and extremely difficult to deal with!"

"He will definitely be a serious threat in the future, so please pay attention, King Wei."

After writing, Sima Yi thought for a moment and then wrote: "I heard someone say that Xing Daorong is the descendant of Bai Qi. I fought with him and felt that he really has the demeanor of a killing god."

After writing this, Sima Yi put down his pen and asked someone to deliver the letter to Cao Cao.

The fact that Xing Daorong became the Left General of the King of Hanzhong was certainly known to the world, but everyone knew how capable Xing Daorong was. After all, he was not as capable as Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.

As for his abilities, people in Jiangdong and Yizhou know much, but no one really knows much about this Cao family.

Hanzhong did defeat Cao Hong, but as for Cao Hong, the Cao family also knew how capable he was, so they didn't take the defeat too seriously.

It was not until after the Battle of Xiangfan and after Sima Yi's letter that Cao Cao finally noticed the general Liu Bei had obtained from Jingnan.

But Cao Cao remembered this incident, so Xing Daorong naturally didn't know about it.

Besides, knowing that it doesn't matter to him, could Cao Cao find someone to assassinate him?
Right now, Xing Daorong and Guan Yu are in Xiangyang, also writing battle reports to Chengdu.

In Guan Yu's writing, Xing Daorong was naturally praised to the heavens and on earth.

"In the battle of Xiangfan, it was thanks to Zi Yu's strategy that we were able to defeat the enemy."

"I admire his bravery and praise his axe. He was able to level the sea with rocks and blow away the wind. He lifted the king with his might and pierced the rocks with his feathers. He defeated the enemy and won the battle of Xiangyang..."

"There are times when one does not care about his own life, you should let me know..."

Xing Daorong watched Guan Yu write this letter, and all the praises in it still made Xing Daorong feel a little ashamed.

He said rather embarrassedly: "Yun Chang, I just reported the news, but there is no need to praise me like that. I feel ashamed to accept it."

Guan Yu said nonchalantly: "I never exaggerate, and every word I say is true."

"Besides, these words can't really show your ability, they are just mediocre."

Ordinary?

"Putting stones together to level the sea and raising the overlord with strength" is also called mediocre?
It would be fine if other people said this, but when Guan Yu said it, it was so powerful!
But seeing that Guan Yu had already written so much, Xing Daorong couldn't let him stop writing.

Think about it, I am already the Left General now. At worst, I can gain more merits and become a general in the future.

Thinking this, he followed Guan Yu.

Since Fancheng was not taken, Guan Yu no longer considered attacking again.

In addition, Cao Cao was not in a position to take the initiative to attack since Guan Yu and Xing Daorong were guarding Xiangyang.

Now that the year is coming to an end, the world is peaceful for a while.

Liu Bei made some adjustments based on the current situation. Guan Yu was still stationed in Xiangyang to deal with Cao Cao's troops, while Xing Daorong went to Jiangling to deal with the Eastern Wu.

However, during this brief period of peace, Xing Daorong was not idle.

At the other end of the west city is where Ma Chao is currently stationed.

News came the day before yesterday that Cui Yan made a special trip to West City to specifically inquire about the forging of the Mo Dao.

With Huang Yueying's blower, the iron mines in Jiaozhou, and Cui Yan's support, the configuration of the Modao Army was finally barely sufficient.

Of course, calling it the Modao Army is a bit of an intimidating statement. With a total of one hundred Modaos, they can only be used as a special forces unit.

However, even so, this is a change that transcends the times, and Xing Daorong said he is already very satisfied.

Seeing Cui Yan coming with the Mo Dao, Xing Daorong greeted him in an exaggerated manner: "Hey, Mr. Cui, why are you still busy with this task?"

It seems that the great scholar Cui Yan is too idle to come and "deliver goods".

Cui Yan said, "Please don't think I'm in the way, I just really want to see how powerful the Mo Dao you've been dreaming of is."

As he said this, he also looked at the knives he brought and said, "But I see these weapons are very heavy. Can one person carry them..."

After listening to what Cui Yan said, Xing Daorong also stepped forward and picked up the Mo Dao to play with it.

Sure enough, the knife was almost as heavy as Xing Daorong's axe.

This is actually no wonder.

A Mo Dao is as tall as a person, so it is naturally very heavy.

In order to form a real Modao Army, one must not only be able to wield heavy swords, but also be able to wear heavy armor.

Otherwise, if the cavalry rushes over and you haven't had time to do anything, and you get killed first, wouldn't all your efforts be in vain?

Therefore, every soldier of the Modao Army must be strong and healthy, and be the best among the elite.

He then said to Cui Yan: "It is true that what you hold in your hand is a knife, but it can also be your life and your wealth."

"As long as you understand these, there will naturally be people who can afford this knife."

Cui Yan heard Xing Daorong's words and felt that they always touched the heart of the people.

To put it bluntly, it's just a nicer way of saying "there will always be brave men when there is a big reward", but it still sounds so touching.

Seeing Cui Yan didn't say anything, Xing Daorong thought he didn't believe it, but he didn't know that he was sighing about what he said next.

He took Cui Yan and said, "Let's go! Let's go to the barracks today to count the soldiers so that Lord Cui can see how our soldiers are."

Having said that, he pulled Cui Yan away without further ado.

Cui Yan had no choice but to follow him all the way to the barracks. Before entering the camp, he heard bursts of shouting coming from inside.

"break!"

"Enter!"

"Protect!"

"kill!"

Every word and every sentence is deafening and as powerful as thunder.

Elite soldiers! Elite soldiers!

Although Cui Yan had rarely been to a military camp, he still had a basic sense of whether the soldiers were elite or not.

It is the end of the year now, and they are still training so hard in the military camp. How can they be elite soldiers?

Cui Yan suddenly felt that selecting a hundred people to form a Modao Army was not a difficult task for Xing Daorong.
