Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 203 Hostage General, Liu Feng's Trouble
The choice before Sima Yi was simple.

One is to attack and drive away Xing Daorong and occupy Jieting.

However, given Xing Daorong's character, he would definitely kill Xiahou Dun on the spot.

Xiahou Dun’s life or death has nothing to do with Sima Yi, but Xiahou Dun cannot die because of himself, especially since Xiahou Yuan is already dead.

The reasons are self-explanatory.

Although he was able to capture Jieting, it seemed that giving up Xiahou Dun's life was the right choice, but how could Sima Yi stop the revenge of the Xiahou family?
This will definitely not work!

The second option is to withdraw the army and save Xiahou Dun's life first.

This option is not a good choice either.

At this moment, Xiahou Dun was shouting that no one should bother with him, and everyone was listening. If he failed to capture Jieting because of this, he would be blamed for it.

Sima Yi thought about it for a moment and immediately realized that Xing Daorong was setting a trap for him.

But he soon had an idea.

Since it’s hard to choose, then don’t choose!
Withdraw the troops, report to the King of Wei, and let the King of Wei make his own choice.

However, Sima Yi did not really throw this difficult problem to Cao Cao. In fact, he had already chosen what to do for Cao Cao.

After he withdrew his troops and reported to Cao Cao, after so much time had passed, the Shu army had already completed the fortifications of Jieting!

Cao Cao won't have to choose then, he just needs to wait for Liu Bei to release the people...

In a split second, Sima Yi made a decision and shouted, "Xing Daorong! Put down General Xiahou, don't be impulsive, I will withdraw my troops immediately!"

After saying this, he really led his troops to retreat slowly.

Zhao Yun watched from the side with great admiration.

After Sima Yi led his troops to retreat, he turned back and said to Xing Daorong: "General, you really understand the calculations. Sima Yi really retreated."

Xing Daorong said: "Xiahou Dun has a special status, so Sima Yi will naturally have to think twice. It would be fine if he died on the battlefield, but it would be unacceptable if he died because of a word from him."

Zhao Yun nodded and kept it in mind.

Following Xing Daorong, Zhao Yun was also constantly learning, especially after he almost made a big mistake at Jieting, he had to learn more.

Seeing that Zhao Yun did not say anything, Xing Daorong continued, "Now that Xiahou Dun is in our hands, Sima Yi will not dare to charge at us, but he will definitely report this to Cao Cao."

"Cao Cao certainly can't not fight just because one of his generals is trapped. After he recovers, Sima Yi will rush to kill him again."

"But we have arranged the fortifications for this matter, and Sima Yi will not have another chance."

Zhao Yun knew that Xing Daorong came here just to help, and after resolving the battle of Jieting, he had to go back to help his lord.

He nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, Ziyu, I'll guard this place, and no accidents can happen again."

Xing Daorong also discovered along the way that the drought came suddenly, and it was really hard to blame Zhao Yun.

Having already suffered a loss once, Zhao Yun would probably not repeat the same mistake, so he felt relieved.

With the matter thus settled, the Jieting crisis was temporarily resolved, but neither of them mentioned the matter of Liu Feng's escape, yet they knew it could not be avoided.

"I'm afraid the young general will be blamed."

Zhao Yun thought about it, but still said responsibly: "As for the matter of the young general, I will report it to the lord personally."

Xing Daorong didn't want to get involved in Liu Feng's affairs, so it would be best if Zhao Yun wrote the battle report.
but
Once you get into this situation, you can't get out easily.

Xing Daorong's idea is too simple
Liu Feng really ran away, but he regretted it as soon as he ran away, especially when he learned that Xing Daorong had descended from the sky and resolved the crisis in Jieting, he regretted it immediately.

deserter!

It is despised by the world!
I originally thought that I had broken out of the siege after the defeat at Jieting, and I used this statement to respond to my father. But now.
The battle of Jieting ended, Xing Daorong turned the tide, what should he do?
Liu Feng thought about it and realized that going to Xi County would not work, so he had to shamelessly go back to Jieting.

Unexpectedly, they met Xing Daorong who was leading his troops back to Xi County halfway, and the two sides faced each other, creating an awkward atmosphere.

"Major General, why are you here?"

Xing Daorong is more confident after all.

Looking at Liu Feng, who looked a little dusty, he asked the question even though he knew the answer.

But Liu Feng couldn't explain why he was here. He couldn't say that he had escaped halfway.

I could only lower my head and remain silent, feeling extremely embarrassed.

Xing Daorong knew what was going on when he saw this. He knew that this boy had some sense of shame, but abandoning the army and running away was not something that could be easily let go.

He said in a deep voice: "Young General, since we have met, come back with me to see the lord!"

Liu Feng was shocked when he heard this.

I wanted to refuse, but I didn't know how to say it.

Xing Daorong did not give him a chance to refute, but said coldly: "Major General! Now that you have left, there is no reason to turn back!"

When Liu Feng heard this, he felt as if he had been enlightened and was struck deep in his heart.

After a pause, he finally lowered his head and said, "General, you are right. I will go back to Xi County to confess my crime and pray for my father's forgiveness so that I can make up for my crime and make meritorious contributions."

Xing Daorong then nodded and took Liu Feng and the captured Xiahou Dun to Xi County.

The speed at which Xing Daorong led his troops was definitely not as fast as the speed at which Zhao Yun rode out to Xi County to report the news.

When Liu Bei received Zhao Yun's battle report, he was naturally surprised, happy and angry.

Needless to say, it was a surprise.

I really didn't expect that there was a disaster in Jieting and Xing Daorong actually saved him.

What he didn't expect was that his adopted son Liu Feng could actually escape!

This incident made Liu Bei extremely angry for a moment, and he shouted, "Rebellious son! You almost ruined my important plan!"

Seeing Liu Bei so angry, Fa Zheng thought that Jieting was lost. However, when he asked, he found out that Liu Feng had escaped halfway.

Of course, what Zhao Yun wrote in the letter was still relatively tactful. However, no matter how tactful it was, anyone with a discerning mind would understand it at a glance, let alone smart people like Liu Bei and Fa Zheng.

Fa Zheng heard this and said, "Is there some misunderstanding here? Wait until Zi Yu comes and ask clearly."

Liu Bei calmed down after hearing this and said, "Okay! Let's wait until Zi Yu comes."

...

When Xing Daorong arrived in Xi County, he saw Liu Bei's complicated expression.

Looking at Xing Daorong, he said, "Zi Yu... this time, it's you who will help us get out of this dangerous situation."

Xing Daorong had made enough achievements, but he really didn't care how much he had to write in his merit book. He just said modestly, "Could it be that You Zilong fought to the death, but couldn't wait for me to arrive?"

Liu Bei's expression became more complicated after hearing this, and he said in a deep voice: "I know Zilong is brave, so I want to ask what happened to Feng'er."

Xing Daorong's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

Isn't it obvious what's going on?

What does it have to do with me!
But since Liu Bei had asked, there was no point in playing dumb, so he could only bow and say, "I don't know what happened, but when I left, I found that the young general was not in Jieting. It was by chance that I met him on the way back."
