Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 220: The Uprising in the South, Young Jiang Wei

What Bao Long said does make some sense.

However, Xing Daorong still had a preconceived idea.

After all, the time when these famous figures died is clearly recorded.

Without external influences, he would not have died early.

So even though what Bao Long said made sense, Xing Daorong didn't take it to heart.

It was not until about half a month later, when Cao's soldiers had been holding their ground and making no moves, that Xing Daorong felt something was wrong.

Cao Bing is too calm!
There must be chaos inside!
In addition, as Cao's troops retreated without attacking, Liu Bei gradually realized the truth of the news. When he was about to send troops, he received news from Chengdu.

An uprising broke out in Nanzhong!
When he heard the news, Liu Bei almost vomited blood.

Now is clearly a good time to pacify Longyou, but he cannot ignore the incident in Nanzhong!
All the troops in Shu were led out by Liu Bei. Faced with this situation, Liu Bei had no choice but to return.

However, before returning, he naturally took the cities he should take and captured the major pass in Guanzhong - Dasan Pass.

Dasan Pass is one of the four passes in Guanzhong.

The four passes in Guanzhong are Hangu Pass and Tong Pass in the east, Dasan Pass in the west, Wu Pass in the south, and Xiao Pass in the north.

The area between the four passes is collectively called Guanzhong.

This place can be considered a gateway. Being able to occupy Dasan Pass will pose a threat to Guanzhong and Chang'an at any time, which is already a huge progress.

It’s a pity that the rebellion in Nanzhong started at a wrong time, otherwise it would have been able to attack Chang’an by now.

Now he had no choice but to return to the army and quell the civil unrest first.

Xing Daorong was naturally very depressed.

He even thought about ignoring the civil unrest and just attacking Chang'an directly!
Taking Chang'an can be considered as recovering the old capital, so wouldn't the buff be fully stacked?
But he was just thinking about it.

Before fighting the outside world, you must first make peace with the inside.

If Chang'an was not taken but exploded inside, everything would be ruined.

So even if I'm reluctant, I have to go back to Chengdu first.

After thinking about it for a while, I realized that the situation was more serious than I had imagined.

Yong Kai, a prominent figure in Yizhou County, Gao Dingyuan, the leader of the Yuexi Yi tribe, and Zhu Bao, the governor of Zangke, all rose up in rebellion.

Xing Daorong originally thought that it was the southern barbarians who were causing the rebellion, but after a while he realized that they were all the big families in Yizhou.

As for why they suddenly rebelled, according to Zhuge Liang's information, it was closely related to Cao Wei.

Cao Cao can be said to have "returned the tables in his own way". When Liu Bei used the Qiang people to cause rebellion, Cao Cao was even more ruthless and used the big families in the south to cause rebellion.

...

"My lord, generals, although I don't know why Yong Kai rebelled, I guess it was just one reason."

Chengdu City, as soon as Zhuge Liang returned to the palace, he did not even give everyone a chance to breathe, and began to talk about the situation as soon as he received everyone.

Liu Bei's face looked very heavy when he heard this, and Xing Daorong's face was even more so!

I never expected this!

At this critical moment, it’s our own people who are holding us back!

He couldn't help but cursed: "Who is that Yong Kai? He started a rebellion at this time without even considering the day!"

Although Xing Daorong was a general, he had always had a good temper.

It is a rare scene to see someone so angry.

Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei were both a little surprised and said, "Zi Yu, it's rare to see you so angry."

Xing Daorong also did not hide his feelings and said directly: "I thought it was the barbarians who started the rebellion, but I didn't expect it was one of our own!" "I don't know what benefit Yong Kai got!"

Zhuge Liang introduced him, saying, "Yong Kai is a descendant of Yong Chi, Marquis of Shifang. He is very famous in the county. He usually disobeys discipline and is arrogant and domineering."

"If we rebel today, we will definitely have support from outside, but I don't know if it will come from Cao Wei or Dong Wu."

Xing Daorong sighed when he heard this.

The aristocratic families are really powerful these days. Look at that guy Yong Kai, he usually doesn't obey discipline, but they can't deal with him because they are concerned about his ancestors.

Xing Daorong was really irritated by the guy who was holding him back this time, and took the initiative to say: "Damn it, my lord has asked me to go this time, and I will definitely crush these rebels!"

With Xing Daorong gone, Liu Bei naturally felt relieved.

Just as he was about to respond, he heard Zhuge Liang say, "Wait a minute, General Xing. This time... I, the military advisor, am going to lead the troops myself."

"General Xing, if you have some strength, would you please come with me?"

Zhuge Liang led the troops personally?
A few rebels...do we still need Zhuge Liang?
Xing Daorong was surprised when he heard this and said, "I can kill these traitors myself. Why should I ask the military advisor to go?"

Zhuge Liang explained: "Not only did Yong Kai rebel, he also gathered the barbarians in the south. To deal with these barbarians, we must be gentle, so I am going to go there in person."

It turned out that according to the informant, the Yizhou barbarians were initially unwilling to follow Yong Kai.

Later, this fellow said that Liu Bei was extravagant and fond of leisure, and wanted to collect 300 black dogs, and their chests had to be black, which made the barbarian very embarrassed.

Yong Kai also promised huge profits, which made the barbarians follow him and cause trouble.

Zhuge Liang knew that it would be extremely troublesome if these barbarians continued to cause trouble. If chaos ensued after every Northern Expedition, it would be extremely detrimental to the Northern Expedition.

In order to completely subdue these barbarians at one time and bring complete stability to Nanzhong, he personally led the troops to fight.

but…

Although we have to send troops, we don't have to be too anxious.

After all, Liu Bei's army had just returned. Although many people in Nanzhong responded to Yong Kai, there were also many loyal and brave men.

For example, Huang Quan of Yongchang County and Yan Yan of Shu County directly repelled the enemy when Zhu Bao, the governor of Zangke, led his troops to attack.

However, there were quite a lot of rebels in Nanzhong. Although Huang Quan and Yan Yan wanted to kill the enemies, they had no choice but to take the initiative to attack because the defending army had too few soldiers and some of them had been withdrawn by Liu Bei for the Northern Expedition.

They could only stay where they were stationed and ensure their own safety first.

Liu Bei's soldiers had just been through a fierce battle, and were naturally exhausted. No matter how urgent it was, they had to adjust their condition back to normal.

He said to Xing Daorong, "You should rest for a few days. In the battle of Nanzhong in a few days, you will have to use your military skills again."

Xing Daorong nodded and suddenly remembered something.

But he bowed to Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang and said, "My lord, military advisor, today the Tianshui has been settled, and I have thought of something."

Seeing the two of them coming, Xing Daorong straightened his armor and said, "There is a young man in Tianshui, his surname is Jiang and his name is Wei, he is only about ten years old this year."

"but…"

"I heard that he has a lot of talent, so I want to keep him by my side."

After these words were spoken, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang understood what they meant.

Keeping him by your side since childhood is to pass on his teachings.

But I don’t know which lucky person has this honor.

Nowadays, most people who have some skills pass them on to their descendants, and things like "taking apprentices" are really rare.

For a moment, the two of them became interested in this young man who caught Xing Daorong's eye.

Liu Bei said immediately: "Okay! Ask someone to go to Tianshui and invite the young man Jiang Wei here so that I can see what this young man who is valued so much by Zi Yu looks like!"
