Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 205: Stalemate, the Qiang’s Movement
In the end, Liu Feng was not killed on the spot by Liu Bei.

Even though he retreated, the atmosphere in the tent was still not very good.

When Xing Daorong saw this, he thought that the great war was still before him and he had to return to the right path first.

He stepped forward and asked, "I wonder what Cao Cao has been doing these days?"

Liu Bei paused for a moment before saying, "You are my great general, so there is no need to hide anything from you."

"Cao Cao has attacked us twice in the past few days, but I defeated him both times."

"However... their Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is extremely difficult to deal with. Only Meng Qi's Xiliang Cavalry can fight against them."

"It's a pity that our cavalry is too small and we often suffer losses."

Liu Bei spoke from the bottom of his heart.

He would definitely not be able to defeat Cao Cao in a cavalry battle.

Fortunately, Jieting was defended, and Cao Cao could not gain much advantage as he could not attack Liu Bei's rear and could only attack from the front.

However, no one could do anything to anyone else, and the stalemate was not favorable to Liu Bei.

After all, the reason is that Liu Bei's base is not as big as Cao Cao's.

I won’t say much about anything else, just talk about food and fodder.

If Liu Bei could fight for one year, Cao Cao could fight for two years. If Liu Bei could fight for two years, Cao Cao could fight for four years.

These are the inherent advantages and disadvantages brought about by the basic foundation.

Therefore, the longer the time drags on, the greater the disadvantage Liu Bei will be at, and he will naturally become distressed.

Xing Daorong listened and said, "You can't subdue them by force, you can only outsmart them. Given the situation today, we can use the Qiang tribe as a card."

Liu Bei's mind quickly straightened up after hearing this, and he stopped thinking about Liu Feng and quickly asked, "Can the Qiang people use it?"

Xing Daorong smiled and said, "It can be used! If it can't be used, wouldn't it be a waste of a month?"

"But the Qiang people are ungrateful and can only be used temporarily. If used for a long time, they will rebel."

Liu Bei was overjoyed: "As long as we can break this situation, it will be great!"

Xing Daorong said: "The Qiang people are opportunistic. If they knew that Xiahou Yuan was killed and Xiahou Dun was captured, they would think that we have the upper hand and would send troops."

"If Fufeng is in chaos, we can force Cao Cao to retreat, and Guanzhong can be secured."

Liu Bei was delighted when he heard this. He pulled Xing Daorong aside and said, "Zi Yu! It is a great honor for the Han Dynasty to have your help!"

How could Liu Bei not be excited!

Xing Daorong has saved him so many times that it's really hard not to be excited.

Fa Zheng, who was standing by, saw that there was no chance for him to show off, so he naturally gave in.

He stepped forward and said, "King of Hanzhong, I have a plan that will be the icing on the cake."

"Since the Qiang people value profit over morality, we can first allow them to be the governor of Liangzhou, and then they can fight to the death."

Liu Bei listened and said, "Will it damage our dignity to appoint a Qiang as governor?"

At that time, the Qiang people were indeed inferior to the Han people. Liu Bei's words were entirely based on the social structure at that time.

"It's just a temporary solution. If the Qiang people can really help us defeat Cao, then we can take on this task. No one can gossip about it."

"If you can't, then you shouldn't take this seriously."

As the saying goes, "First work, then talk about treatment."

As a result, Fa Zheng responded: "First pay, then work."

However, the position of Governor of Liangzhou must be very tempting to the Qiang people, and this tactic is also very appropriate.

After making up his mind, Liu Bei quickly sent people to Fufeng to ask King Mi Dang to support him and attack Cao Cao together.

...

King Midang has naturally been paying close attention to the situation in the Guanzhong battle.

As for him, he certainly hoped that Liu Bei could win, after all, the two sides had already been in contact. So after hearing about Liu Bei's victory at Qishan, he was ready to take action.

However, Midang was still a little more cautious and wanted to see how the battle in Guanzhong was progressing.

Seeing that Liu Bei and Cao Cao were in a stalemate, he did not take any action until Liu Bei's servant, Sun Qian, came to find him again.

When he saw him, he asked, "Mr. Sun, I heard that in the battle of Qishan, it was General Xing who killed Xiahou Yuan directly?"

Sun Qian didn't expect that the first thing he asked when he saw the King was directly about Xing Daorong's situation.

His heart moved, and he thought to himself that Xing Daorong was indeed closely related to the Qiang king.

But he answered honestly, "That's right. Xiahou Yuan was killed by General Zuo with an axe in the Battle of Qishan."

Mi Dang's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, but he asked, "Was he really beheaded by General Xing?"

As he said this, he stood up and laughed, "I knew General Xing was very capable, it's true!"

"We can kill Xiahou Yuan!"

"Awesome, really awesome!"

As the western commander-in-chief of Cao Cao's army, Xiahou Yuan has a great reputation in the west!

People like Zhao Ang cannot be compared with him at all.

Hearing that Xing Daorong could kill Xiahou Yuan directly, Mi Dang would naturally feel shocked.

Ma Yunlu, who was listening nearby, was also very surprised.

The Ma family was naturally well aware of Xiahou Yuan's aggressive march to Guanyou in the past, and Ma Yunlu was no exception.

Hearing that such a powerful opponent was killed directly by Xing Daorong, Ma Yunlu was stunned for a moment, and then he felt a strong sense of admiration.

Soon, Sun Qian said, "It's not just Xiahou Yuan. His cousin Xiahou Dun was captured alive by General Xing in the Battle of Jieting and is now captured by my lord."

When Mi Dang heard that even Xiahou Dun was caught, he became even more excited.

But he said: "So powerful! Even Xiahou Dun was caught!"

"It seems that Cao Cao's generals are just in name only, nothing more than that!"

When Sun Qian saw that Xing Daorong killed Xiahou Yuan and captured Xiahou Dun, he was really excited!

Immediately, he struck while the iron was hot and said, "General Zuo advised the King of Hanzhong that you can send troops to cause rebellion in Fufeng. This will surely cause Cao Cao to be in chaos, and Guanzhong can be won."

"The King of Hanzhong has recommended Your Majesty to be the Governor of Liang Province and invites Your Majesty to lead the army."

Governor of Liangzhou!

Mi Dang stood up suddenly after hearing this and asked, "Is this true? Do you really want me to be the governor of Liangzhou?"

Sun Qian bowed and said, "It is absolutely true. My Lord always keeps his word and there is no deception at all."

Ma Yunlu listened and helped out, "Your Majesty, the opportunity has come, we can't miss it!"

King Midang also felt that the time was almost up, but he still had some fear of Cao's soldiers in his eyes.

He couldn't help but say what was in his heart: "If General Xing can come to help, we will definitely win. I don't have the confidence to just rely on us."

When Sun Qian heard this, he understood the meaning of King Mi Dang's words very clearly. As long as Xing Daorong could help him, he would definitely rebel.

However, given the current war situation, Xing Daorong has no time to help the Qiang people!

Although he thought the other party's idea was a fantasy, Sun Qian could not say anything too harsh. He could only smile and say, "Your Majesty, General Zuo is facing Cao Cao's army and cannot leave. Please forgive me."

Mi Dang couldn't help but feel sorry when he heard it.

But he said: "If General Xing could be here, I would be able to fight my way to Chang'an!"

"Well, in that case, I will first promise the King of Hanzhong that I will raise an army immediately to attack Cao Cao."

"But, King Hanzhong, please attack Cao Cao quickly. Otherwise, if Cao Cao leads a large army, I won't be able to hold out for long."
