Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 188 Xiahou Yuan's Determination
Shi Huan's death in battle may be a good thing for Zhu Ling.

At least there was nothing he could do to confront him.

However, after learning of Shi Huan's death, Zhu Ling was also very sad.

After all, they were colleagues and had been captured together before. Although we didn't have that much friendship, it still made people feel uncomfortable.

At that moment, in front of Xiahou Yuan, he lowered his head and sighed, "General... I really don't know why General Shi said this to me, but given his loyalty, he will definitely not slander me just to save his life."

"I think... this is Xing Daorong's trick!"

"It seems to have confused our thoughts and we don't know that their army is out of food."

Inside the big tent, Xiahou Yuan felt a headache after listening to Zhu Ling's words.

Originally, I thought that Xing Daorong would be eager to fight for some reason, but later Xing Daorong took the initiative to send troops, which confirmed my thoughts.

Unfortunately, the battle of Qishan was lost and two generals were killed.

Now Zhu Ling came back and said that he had not said anything, and also said that Xing Daorong was short of food. He did not understand what was going on for a while.

Shi Huan died in battle again, and the details of the incident are unclear.

At the moment, I only felt the unreal and the real, the true and the false, and my mind was a mess. I didn't know what bad ideas Xing Daorong had.

When I have no idea in my mind, I think about asking everyone what they think.

He asked Zhang Gong, "What do you think about Xing Daorong's food shortage?"

Zhang Gong stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Whether it is true or false, it is not appropriate to mobilize troops at this moment."

"If they really run out of food and lack fodder, they will retreat."

"If it is false, our army has just been defeated, so it is not a good idea to mobilize again."

"So no matter what, we should not attack Liu's army anymore. We just need to defend Qishan Town."

Xiahou Yuan listened to Zhang Gong's words and found them to be quite reasonable, but for some reason, he felt very uncomfortable.

In fact, when it comes down to it, victory and defeat are common in the military, but for Xiahou Yuan, who had just "moved forward like a tiger to the right of the pass" a while ago, it was quite unacceptable to be defeated by Xing Daorong, who was also a vanguard, in Qishan.

So even though he found Zhang Gong's words reasonable and well-founded, he still turned his gaze to Hao Zhao.

At present, Hao Zhao is not as famous as he will be in the future when he guarded Chencang, defended Shu Han, and blocked Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition.

However, he joined the army at a young age and has already shown his talent.

Facing Xiahou Yuan's gaze, he calmly replied: "General, I was at Xiongbi Peak at that time. Although I only had a hundred people, I had deployed decoy troops everywhere."

"Xing Daorong has always been cautious. Seeing that the situation on the mountain is unclear, he certainly wouldn't dare to go up the mountain."

"But he did not hesitate at all and led a large group of soldiers to attack us, forcing me to abandon the mountain and flee."

"I think... he should know the situation on the mountain."

Upon hearing this, Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but look at Zhu Ling again.

But on second thought, it might not be the news reported by Zhu Ling. It could be the news sent by Xing Daorong from another channel.

The situation is already critical, and Xiahou Yuan can't take care of these things for the time being.

It was just a quick glance, how could Zhu Ling not see it?

I just feel that trust is gone, and I know that my life will not be easy in the future.

Xiahou Yuan listened to Hao Zhao's words and said, "So... General Hao also suggested that I hold on to this place?"

Unexpectedly, Hao Zhao shook his head and said, "If it were someone else... defending Qishan Town to the death wouldn't be a bad idea, but against Xing Daorong, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to hold on."

"It's better to find another opportunity and take the initiative."

"Xing Daorong said he was short of food, so we should send him some."

"We can send out a pair of grain escort teams to deliver the grain across the valley."

"Let the Shu army know the news. If they are short of food, they will surely attack."

"We can ambush him and kill him by surprise."

"Although we cannot kill their main general, we can still kill a group of them to boost their morale."

Xiahou Yuan thought this idea was much better than simply defending! They could attack or defend, so long as Xing Daorong didn't fall into the trap.

If they fall into the trap, they can kill some enemy troops.

Looking at Zhang Gong, he nodded in agreement.

As for Zhu Ling, he had nothing to say. If he didn't agree, he would be slapping himself in the face.

Since Xing Daorong is short of food, this plan will definitely work, and Zhu Ling can't say no.

So Xiahou Yuan made a plan. Hao Zhao pretended to escort the grain, while Xiahou Yuan personally led the troops to ambush, ready to kill Xing Daorong's fighting spirit.

...

However, when Xing Daorong learned that Xiahou Yuan had sent out news about the transportation of grain and fodder, he immediately realized that this was a trick to lure him into taking the bait.

Naturally, he was overjoyed and decided to use the same trick against them.

I went to so much trouble to lure Xiahou Yuan out of the town, wasn't it just for this moment!

So he planned to annihilate them completely!
The current arrangements for the surprise attack on the grain team focus on being meticulous.

All the generals were present in the big tent.

Xing Daorong said: "Although I know that this battle is a counterattack, I intend to complete the victory in one battle and completely defeat Xiahou Yuan's vanguard army."

"And if you want to do that, you have to give enough bait first."

"So I want to lead the army that raids the grain, and serve as bait myself, so that Xiahou Yuan will not give up."

After this was said, Bao Long, Zhou Tai and others got used to it.

Xing Daorong has always been indifferent to any danger.

In contrast, Li Hui, a military officer, thought that Xing Daorong was taking too much risks, so he quickly advised him, "General Zuo, anyone can go and rob the food and grass, why take the risk yourself?"

Ma Chao also said, "Zi Yu, I can go!"

Ma Chao is actually suitable too.

This guy has a deep blood feud with the Cao family, and he is very tempting to go up to him.

But the problem is...

Ma Chao is easily uncontrollable, and if he gets too excited, no one knows what will happen.

It’s best to go by yourself.

But he said to Ma Chao: "Mengqi, you still have an important mission."

"They are trying to lure Cao's army into ambush, but I don't know who the commander is. If it's Xiahou Yuan, you have to kill him!"

"I will hand over all my cavalry to you. You will take General Pang De and guard the last pass. You must kill all of Cao's soldiers."

When Ma Chao heard that such an important task fell on him, he naturally had nothing to say.

He just patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of this matter. I will kill all the Cao soldiers."

Xing Daorong was sure of Ma Chao's confidence, and he said to Wu Yi and Meng Da, "You two go to Qishan Town. If there are not many soldiers in the town, take them all down and don't let any of them escape."

Wu Yi and Meng Da have always been cautious, so it was just right for them to attack Qishan Town.

The two had no objection at the moment.

If they could capture Qishan Town, it would be a great achievement for both of them.

Xing Daorong assigned tasks to the other generals.

Ask Bao Long to take Liu Feng, Lei Tong and Li Hui to guard the camp.

Then he ordered Huo Jun, Wu Lan and Zhou Tai to follow him.

With such proper arrangements, Xing Daorong's eyes also showed some murderous intent.

"A general should not raise an army in anger, and a general should not lead a war in anger."

"If Xiahou Yuan doesn't know that this military strategy is a taboo in military strategy, then tomorrow... will be the day of his death!"
