Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 210: The Qiang Tribe Surrenders
"Damn it! Damn it!"

"Xia Houshang!"

"How dare you deceive this king!"

King Mi Dang, who had escaped, cursed loudly, obviously hating him to the core.

However, this did not prevent the Qiang people from being defeated.

After this defeat, the Qiang people completely lost the initiative.

The few cities that were captured immediately rebelled, and the Qiang people were left with nowhere to go.

Seeing this, E He Shao Ge said, "Your Majesty, there is no other way but to go find General Xing."

When Mi Dang heard what his general said, he felt a little embarrassed.

His affair with Cao Wei had been exposed, and he was hesitant to support Liu Bei.

Now that he was defeated by Xiahou Shang, he went to find Liu Bei.

Anyone who has any dignity at all will feel a little embarrassed.

But you can’t eat face!

Now that I'm forced into a desperate situation, I have no choice but to be shameless.

So although he felt embarrassed, he nodded and said, "Now... I can only go to find the King of Hanzhong."

Having agreed upon this, he led his people westward.

...

Originally, these Qiang people were used to cause trouble in the rear of Guanzhong.

According to Xing Daorong's original idea, constant guerrilla warfare and disruption was the greatest use of the Qiang people.

Unexpectedly, he betrayed his loyalty and soon colluded with Cao Wei.

Helplessly, in order to prevent the Qiang people from completely turning to Cao Wei, Xing Daorong could only use the "strategy of deceiving for profit" to cause the two sides to break up.

Although the Qiang people lost their advantage in guerrilla warfare in the rear, they were not forced to unite with Cao Wei.

As for how much help the Qiang people can provide on the front battlefield...

I can only say that it is a strength after all...

...

After the rear harassment plan failed due to King Mi Dang's betrayal, Cao Cao gradually regained the initiative on the battlefield.

And morale is higher than before.

The unknown is what is scary.

Originally, after the Qiang tribe caused chaos in the rear, Cao Wei was very worried that Liu Bei might have other means. However, when they saw that the chaos was quelled in an instant, they thought that Liu Bei's killer move was just that, so they immediately reversed the situation and their morale returned to counterattack Liu Bei.

Liu Bei couldn't resist and had to retreat.

In the Battle of Guanzhong, the two sides returned to the rhythm of pulling each other.

This made Bao Long feel at ease.

...

"General...did you expect that our lord would be beaten back?"

Bao Long always speaks without restraint.

This was something that only our own people should hear. If others heard it and said it in front of Liu Bei, people would think that Xing Daorong was a traitor.

However, even though they are all family members, they cannot speak nonsense. Xing Daorong couldn't help but slap Bao Long on the back of the head after hearing this.

He cursed: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you expect the Lord to win?"

When Bao Long saw Xing Daorong taking action, he knew he had said something wrong, and quickly begged for mercy, "General, that's not what I meant. I just said that the war here was all what you expected."

Bao Long's words hit the nail on the head.

Xing Daorong had indeed anticipated that Liu Bei would find it difficult to defeat Cao Cao.

At the moment, he just said without comment: "Cao Cao fought for many years. Except for the loss at Chibi due to his poor water battle, he won all the other battles regardless of the process."

"Even if we can win temporarily, we must also be careful of their resilience in counterattacking."

"At that time, Lu Bu almost took the entire Yanzhou from Cao Cao, but he was able to fight back."

"Besides, today the Lord only took advantage of the opportunity to win a few small victories."

Bao Long nodded repeatedly. But...

"In that case, wouldn't it be difficult for us to defeat him?"

It is not just difficult, it can be said to be extremely difficult.

In fact, by now Xing Daorong had discovered that even if Zhuge Liang had not lost Jieting, it would not have been easy for him to win a complete victory once he got involved in a fight with Sima Yi in Guanzhong.

Gradually eroding Longyou is indeed a strategy that can be used as a basis for advancement and retreat.

but…

This strategy is too well-planned to be a fatal blow.

Also, due to the difference in national strength, even if Cao Wei was defeated for a while, it would be able to recover.

To put it bluntly, the territory lost in this battle can be taken back if we win the next one.

They were always stuck in a tug-of-war and could never defeat Cao Wei.

If you want to accomplish anything, you have to go straight to the heart of the matter like you did in the battle to destroy Shu.

Otherwise, Long County in front of Xing Daorong was controlled by Yu Jin, making it difficult to capture.

And this kind of county town is just an outpost of the battle of Chang'an...

Xing Daorong listened to Bao Long's words and began to wonder if Zhuge Liang's approach had problems from the beginning.

But I should just think about these things in my mind and definitely not say them out loud.

He just said: "Fighting is not easy. If you want to live a comfortable life, you can take off your armor as soon as possible and go back to being a hunter."

Bao Long just laughed when he was criticized, and he was really not angry at all.

He knew General Xing's temper very well. He was polite to other people, but he would be aggressive towards him.

but…

Doesn’t this seem intimate?

Only brothers like this can be so casual.

Therefore, sometimes Bao Long would even deliberately say some nonsense, making Xing Daorong unable to help but criticize him.

in this way…

He was still somewhat happy in his heart.

Just as he was laughing and was about to say something else, he suddenly heard someone from outside come to report that the Qiang people had arrived and wanted to meet him.

Xing Daorong was also shocked when he heard the news.

I didn't expect that the Qiang people would come directly towards me!

He looked outside and saw that it was King Midang who had come here with a group of Qiang people.

only…

At first glance, it was crowded, at least ten thousand people.

There were men, women, young and old, and I was afraid that all the tribesmen had moved here.

Xing Daorong suddenly felt his scalp tingling. He couldn't possibly have to take care of all the food in these ten thousand mouths, right?
I can’t bear it anymore!

He quickly stepped forward and asked, "My king...what are you doing?"

Na Mi Dang smiled and said, "General Xing! I am here to support you!"

When Xing Daorong saw that this idiot was still laughing at himself, he immediately stopped giving him any face.

Zhi said, "Oh? Your Majesty, although you support me, why did you bring your entire family here?"

Seeing that Xing Daorong didn't give him any face this time, Mi Dang knew that he had gone too far and made Xing Daorong unhappy.

Come to think of it, Xing Daorong went to great lengths to drive Zhao Ang away, giving him the opportunity to start a rebellion at any time, but he ended up rebelling. Who wouldn't be angry?

He immediately smiled and said, "Cao Wei forced us too much, so we had no choice but to flee with our tribe and seek refuge with the general. General Xing... you can't just say that your good words don't count."

He probably knew that the ten thousand mouths he brought with him was a bit too much, and he obviously didn't have much confidence when he spoke.

Xing Daorong was also in a dilemma as he had to add so much food at once.

But he still smiled and agreed to accept these Qiang people first.

We can’t just stand by and watch them die without helping them. We can’t just drive all these Qiang people away…
