Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 211: Long County Strategy
It is obviously not feasible for so many people to eat to follow the army.

Xing Daorong led Mi Dang in and immediately went to the tent to talk about the matter.

But the atmosphere inside the tent was not very good.

On the left, Bao Long, Zhou Tai, and Ma Yunlu all looked unhappy, and it was obvious that they had many opinions about the Qiang king.

On the right, Mi Dang and E He Shao Ge looked embarrassed.

Xing Daorong saw that this wouldn't work.

Since the Qiang people have arrived, we must use them if possible.

After thinking for a while, he decided to get straight to the point and get down to business: "My king, how did Cao Wei force you to this point? I asked you to bring all your tribes here."

When Mi Dang heard this, he sighed and said, "Ah! General, you don't know that Xiahou Shangke is really a ruthless person!"

"They know that our Qiang soldiers are difficult to deal with, so they plan to attack our gathering place."

"This king... is really at a loss for what to do after being manipulated by Xiahou Shang. I can only walk away."

Xing Daorong listened and nodded slightly.

To put it bluntly, Mi Dang was beaten by Xiahou Shang and had no choice but to run away.

Just as he was about to speak, Ma Yunlu said indignantly: "If we had attacked Xiahou Shang by force, all the clansmen would have worked together and it wouldn't have ended up like this!"

"Now that we are being defeated one by one by Cao Wei, what good is that!"

The Qiang people are actually a union of various tribes.

Rather than calling him the king, it would be more appropriate to say "chief" or "head of the tribes".

With successive victories, the tribes united closely and their strength doubled.

Once they suffered a defeat, the tribal leaders each took care of their own business, the tribes fell apart, and they immediately became doubly weak.

Xiahou Shang seized the opportunity and launched a fierce attack on Midang's troops. If other tribes did not come to help, Midang would be completely finished.

In this case, he could only take his troops back to the west, or join Xing Daorong.

The fan chose the latter...

Hearing Ma Yunlu's questioning, Mi Dang knew that he could not be too weak.

He countered: "Miss, what you said is not very authentic. If we hadn't listened to Miss Ma, we wouldn't be like this."

When Ma Yunlu heard this, he couldn't help but look at Xing Daorong.

This is not my idea, it's Xing Daorong's idea!
When Xing Daorong saw the look Ma Yunlu gave him, how could he not understand what it meant?
Seeing that the topic was about to be brought up, Xing Daorong interrupted and said, "Let's not talk about the previous things. Let's talk about what will happen next."

Then he turned to Mi Dang and said, "My king, let's not talk about the previous things for now. Let's talk about how to settle your people in the future."

"You can't always follow my troops..."

Mi Dang replied, "Of course. I'm thinking... maybe I can ask the King of Hanzhong to find a place close to our homeland for us to settle down first."

The only two counties close to the homeland are Tianshui and Wudu.

And Tianshui has not been completely recovered yet, so the only one left is Wudu.

Xing Daorong doesn't need to worry about this matter. He just needs to report it to Zhuge Liang and let him think about it.

But he said, "How to settle it is not up to me. I will write down the king's request in the letter and let the military advisor decide."

"Besides, our army doesn't have much food. Your Majesty has so many people, so we need to find a place to go first."

"Right now, outside of Qishan there are war zones all around, so why not go to Hanzhong first?"

As long as there is a place!
At present, King Mi Dang is being chased too closely and he doesn’t care about the place.

Seeing that they were settled, he breathed a sigh of relief and sent people to send the old, young, women and children to Hanzhong.

...

Now that the old, weak, women and children have left, the young and strong people who remain will have to work hard.

You can't just join and eat military rations for free without doing any work.

With the Qiang people joining in, Xing Daorong had the advantage in numbers, so he decided to attack Yu Jin again. But he couldn't just attack with force.

It just so happens that the Qiang people are here, so they can try to lure Yu Jin out of the city.

...

However, when Yu Jin was defending Long County, he was not defending an isolated city.

There is also a camp set up by Zang Ba, so that they can support each other and avoid being surrounded by Xing Daorong and becoming an isolated city.

And precisely because of Zang Ba's outer camp, the outside world will not be blocked from communicating.

Sooner or later, Yu Jin would get news about the King of Wei's condition.

He also knew about the Qiang people's rebellion.

One day, Yu Jin was patrolling the city when he suddenly received news that a group of Qiang soldiers were camping thirty miles away from the city.

There are about three thousand people in this camp, not too many.

But he saw the Qiang king Midang in this camp.

This news was brought by Zang Ba, so it must be correct.

And since the Qiang people have come here, I'm afraid they have bad intentions and are coming for me.

Although there are only 3,000 people, the Qiang king is here, and it is hard to say whether there will be more Qiang troops coming in the future.

At that moment, I wanted to strike first.

Now in the city, he asked Zhao Yan, a military officer beside him: "The Qiang king has come with his troops. I want to attack the camp first. What do you think?"

Zhao Yan was very familiar with the situation of the Qiang people.

After Cao Cao defeated the eleven-way coalition forces in Guanzhong, he handed over the more than 5,000 soldiers who had served under Han Sui and Ma Chao to the command of General Suppressing Rebellion Yin Shu and others, and appointed Zhao Yan as the Protector of Guanzhong to command all the armies.

However, after Liu Bei's attack, the Battle of Guanzhong broke out again. Cao Cao, who was familiar with the situation in Guanzhong, also urgently transferred him to the army to fight.

Zhao Yan heard this and said, "The Qiang people are numerous but few in number. Even though they have tens of thousands of people, they are only an enemy that can be defeated in one battle. There is no need to worry about them."

When Yu Jin heard Zhao Yan belittling the Qiang people in this way, he felt much more at ease.

"In this case, I will mobilize the troops immediately and defeat them, so as to avoid any more troubles at night."

Upon hearing that there was an enemy coming, Yu Jin immediately sent troops to defeat the Qiang people.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yan stopped him and said, "General Yu, there is no rush to send troops."

"The Qiang tribe has been defeated by us many times, and they are already terrified of our Wei army."

"The Qiang King only has 3,000 men now, but he dares to station his troops 30 miles outside the city. I'm afraid...what's the reason behind it?"

Yu Jin understood.

Exclaimed: "Guardian, do you mean that Xing Daorong deliberately set this up to lure me in to kill him?"

Zhao Yan said: "It is most likely so. General, you must not go, or you will fall into the trap."

Yu Jin was silent for a moment after hearing this. He went through several deductions in his mind before he slowly said, "Xing Daorong has always liked to use tricks. Today he must be trying to lure me out of the city."

"Since we have seen through his intentions, we might as well take advantage of his tricks and lure him out to attack his camp!"

This idea is not bad, but Zhao Yan still feels that it is a bit inappropriate.

Xing Daorong is too famous!
Killing Xiahou Yuan and capturing Xiahou Dun really makes people think more when facing each other.

He said cautiously: "Xing Daorong is not easy to deal with, we just need to defend the county town."

Yu Jin heard this and shook his head, saying, "No matter how difficult he is to deal with, he is just a mortal. Can it be that we can never defeat him?"

Seeing Zhao Yan's worried look, he added, "Don't worry, General, I will be careful and cautious and will not send troops out at random..."

Zhao Yan knew what Yu Jin was thinking, so he didn't say much.

I was also thinking that I had to make Xing Daorong suffer a loss...
