Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 197 Xing Daorong is always swinging his hoe
The battle in Guanzhong will not be concluded in a short time.

The Battle of Guandu lasted one year and five months; the Battle of Yiling lasted one year and two months.

The Battle of Red Cliffs was the fastest, with a huge fire and it only lasted for two months.

But that was because the Battle of Red Cliffs was a naval battle. For a land battle involving a large army like this, the outcome could not be determined without a year of effort.

Xing Daorong knew that Liu Bei was also mentally prepared, and Cao Cao on the opposite side had more experience after the Battle of Guandu.

The two sides were in a stalemate for a while.
as long as
There was no accident in Jieting.

Xing Daorong has always been worried about the situation in Jieting.

The combination of Zhao Yun and Liu Feng seems stable but feels a bit unstable.

He even feels not as good as Wei Yan in guarding Jieting.

But Zhao Yun was, after all, one of the brave generals and a veteran, so he couldn't raise any objections without any basis. He just asked people to pay more attention to the situation in the direction of Jieting.

Unexpectedly, there was no news from Jieting, and the personal expeditions between Liu Bei and Cao Cao had not yet resulted in a winner. Instead, news came from Jiangdong first!
Zhuge Jin is here again.

But this time he came here alone.

After entering Liu Bei's tent, Zhuge Jin saw Xing Daorong and Zhou Tai standing next to Liu Bei, and naturally an expression of embarrassment appeared on his face.

But he quickly hid himself and said to Liu Bei: "King of Hanzhong, I came here today to make friends."

Liu Bei was actually quite unhappy with the people of Jiangdong.

Although the memory of Lu Meng's surprise attack on Jingzhou faded a little with his death, Liu Bei really could not have any good feelings towards these disloyal people in Jiangdong.

He even felt more disgusted with him than with his opponent, Cao Cao.

However, now is the time for a decisive battle with Cao Cao, so Liu Bei would not be disrespectful to Zhuge Jin, especially since he has the surname "Zhuge".

He smiled and said, "Since the Marquis of Wu was willing to offer land for peace last time, we are naturally reconciled. Now we must fight against Cao Cao together, which is the most important thing."

Offering land for peace
This word is more or less heartbreaking.

When these words were spoken, it sounded like he really let it go, but Zhuge Jin knew that a thorn had been left in Liu Bei's heart. He was on guard against the Jiangdong Society day and night, and it was difficult for him to trust them again.

But this is not Liu Bei’s fault.

If I were Liu Bei, I would definitely not trust Sun Quan.

Although Zhuge Jin understood Liu Bei's thoughts, he still took Liu Bei's attitude to heart.

After preparing to go back, he told Sun Quan what he had seen.

At the moment, Zhuge Jin still followed Sun Quan's intention and said, "Now the Marquis of Wu has learned that the King of Hanzhong is fighting a desperate battle with Cao Cao, so he said that he could send troops to attack Hefei again."

"only…"

"We have fought several wars before and have ceded three counties in Jiaozhou. I am afraid that we will run out of food and grass."

Good guy…

He also wants to get some food and supplies from Liu Bei!

Sun Quan is truly a talented person. Liu Bei is in the middle of a decisive battle, so how could he possibly provide him with food and grass?

Xing Daorong cursed in his heart, but then he reacted.

How could Sun Quan not know that this request was rude? He was still rude. It was obviously not a real request for food and fodder, but a warning!

To put it another way, if Cao Cao could provide Sun Quan with food and grass, he would be able to attack Jingzhou again.

After all, the last time the Liu and Sun families only had peace talks, they were called to reconcile, not to re-establish an alliance!

really!

Liu Bei's face changed, but he said: "Oh, if I don't have food, the Marquis of Wu should ask the King of Wei for some food?" Zhuge Jin bowed and said: "That's not what I meant. The Marquis of Wu just said it casually. I took it to heart, so I mentioned it."

As he spoke, he also looked understanding and said, “Now I know that the King of Hanzhong is in a tight situation of food and grass when he is in the decisive battle, so I dare not mention it again.”

Liu Bei had a gloomy expression on his face, but seeing that Zhuge Jin had a good attitude, he finally stopped pursuing the issue.

He only said: "I have already known the intention of the Marquis of Wu to make peace. When Cao Cao is defeated, I will definitely remember the Marquis of Wu's heart to support the country, record his great achievements, and report to the emperor."

Emperor
Now this emperor is just a pure decoration.

Zhuge Jin was clear in his mind that no matter who won between Cao Cao and Liu Bei, Liu Xie would never be the emperor again.

but
When Zhuge Jin thought of this, he couldn't help but have an idea.

If Liu Bei really fought his way to the imperial capital and rescued the emperor, would he really help Liu Xie continue to be the emperor?

snort!
I’m afraid that Liu Bei himself has this idea, and everyone following him may not agree!

However, this matter has nothing to do with Soochow. Not to mention whether Liu Bei can defeat Cao Cao, even if he can really repel Cao Cao, Soochow would not have no reaction at all.

after all
Whether it is taking advantage of the fire or rescuing Cao Wei, both are possible.

...

Zhuge Jin came just to express goodwill, and no substantive contract was reached between the two parties.

However, Zhuge Jin really had nothing to ask for, and seeing that his goal had been achieved, he prepared to leave and report.

But just as he walked out of the tent, he was grabbed by Xing Daorong who was chasing him.

But he said, "Mr. Ziyu, now that you are here, I was not able to have a drink with you last time. Would you be willing to do me the honor today?"

Zhuge Jin was stunned when he heard this, but he looked at Xing Daorong in confusion and said, "General Xing, you can still drink in the army?"

Xing Daorong laughed and said, "It's okay to have a small drink. Besides, if there is any punishment for this, it should be the King of Hanzhong who should punish me, not Ziyu!"

Having said that, he dragged the person away without further ado.

Zhuge Jin had no choice but to follow.

When we arrived at Xing Daorong's tent, we saw a table on each side of the tent. There were two bottles of wine on top that were still steaming, and they looked like they had just been heated.

Seeing that this was arranged by me as soon as I arrived, I never thought of letting me leave easily.

After the two parties sat down, Xing Daorong raised his glass and said, "Last time I came back, we had a hasty farewell. Today I finally get to have a drink with you, sir."

Zhuge Jin thought to himself that Xing Daorong still had the nerve to say that.

This time, I even arrived at the doorstep of my home, but was kicked out!

Now that I think about it, if I could have entered Xing Daorong’s mansion that day, perhaps Zhou Tai would not have been wronged in the future!
"Hey"

Thinking of this, Zhuge Jin actually sighed, picked up the wine bottle, raised his hand to signal Xing Daorong, and drank it in one gulp.

Xing Daorong saw Zhuge Jin was so depressed, and naturally knew what he was thinking. He also gulped down the wine in his hand and pointed out directly: "Sir, you are so depressed, are you blaming me for not letting you into the mansion last time?"

Zhuge Jin's heart moved when he heard this, but he didn't know that his thoughts had been exposed by Xing Daorong.

He smiled bitterly and said, "General Xing is quite brave to talk about this matter. If I had been invited to the mansion that day, I am afraid that General Zhou would not have suffered this hardship in the future."

Xing Daorong laughed loudly upon hearing this: "Sir, you are wrong! General Zhou has experienced this, but how could he not know that it is a good thing?"

Then he looked at Zhuge Jin and said, "Sir, you seem to be enjoying your time in Dongwu, but how come you don't know that it's a bad thing!"

As soon as these words came out, people who were familiar with Xing Daorong knew that the hoe that he had been swinging forever since he came from the time travel was now raised up again!
