Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 260 Memorial Ceremony, Frightened Zhang Fei
When Xu Chu retreated, he actually lost all his chances.

The reason why Xing Daorong was in danger at Dasan Pass was not because Xu Chu's army was outside, but because of the time.

Cao Cao created a time difference.

During the period from the time when food supplies were cut off at Dasan Pass to the time when Liu Bei provided support, Xing Daorong was in the most danger.

As long as food supplies are in place, as Ma Chao said, the Dasan Pass will be so strong that even Cao Cao himself will not be able to attack it.

...

Pang De followed at the end with 500 men and real food supplies.

Seeing that the matter was settled, he happily followed Xing Daorong into the city.

But there was not a single trace of happiness on Xing Daorong's face.

His heart tightened, and he also stopped showing his excitement over the big win.

Of course he knew why Xing Daorong had such an expression.

It’s such a pity that Jiang Wei’s father died!
If I had arrived a little earlier, just a step earlier, maybe I could have saved Jiang Jiong.

Pang De couldn't help but sigh: "General Xing... I was a step too slow. If I had arrived earlier, this wouldn't have happened."

Xing Daorong listened and waved his hand, saying, "I don't blame you, it's just that Jiang Gongcao is so loyal to the emperor and the country. We should pay tribute to such a loyal man."

"I'll write to you again, my lord, please remember Gongcao's loyalty and bravery and confer a title on his son."

Jiang Wei heard this and said, "My father has been loyal and brave all his life, and he has only been fighting for the country and the people. He really doesn't ask for these things, so there is no need for you, General..."

"It has to be this way. Wei'er, there's no need to say more!" Before Jiang Wei could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xing Daorong.

Without waiting for him to say anything, he just said, "It is settled. I will send someone to fetch your mother and hold a memorial ceremony for her!"

After saying this, he arranged for people to pick up Jiang Mu and at the same time arranged a grand sacrificial ceremony throughout Guanzhong.

...

Xing Daorong is still very efficient.

Soon, the entire Dasan Pass was filled with white ribbons and paper money floating in the air.

Of course, everyone inside the country knew that it was because of Jiang Jiong, but outsiders had no idea what was going on.

Just like...

Zhang Fei traveled all the way from Chengdu day and night, receiving Liu Bei's death order to bring Xing Daorong back safely.

When he heard the report from the scouts ahead that the entire Dasan Pass was tied with white cloth ribbons and that someone was being commemorated, he suddenly felt like the sky was falling.

Who else could be so high-profile about this?
It must be Xing Daorong!
Finished!

I am already fast enough!

But I didn't expect that I was still a step slower.

Although he didn't know why the pass was still in his hands, Xing Daorong had sacrificed his life. But seeing the situation in the pass, he couldn't lie.

Zhang Fei could not delay any longer and rushed towards the pass.

When the guard saw that it was Zhang Fei, he was surprised, but he quickly opened the gate and let the man go.

When Zhang Fei entered, he saw that only Ma Chao came to greet him, and his uneasy heart suddenly died completely.

Obviously, Xing Daorong's status in the army is higher than Ma Chao's. Moreover, the two of them are not brothers but are as close as brothers. Seeing that he is coming, how could Xing Daorong not see him!
"It must be Zi Yu!"

With a sigh in his heart, Zhang Fei hurried forward and grabbed Ma Chao and asked, "General Ma, how is your situation with him?"

Ma Chao was startled by Zhang Fei's excitement and subconsciously took a step back before responding in surprise, "Zi Yu is fine. He is just holding a memorial ceremony in the camp and cannot get away, so he asked me to come and pick you up."

Zhang Fei felt relieved after hearing this, but he did not have time to say hello to Ma Chao. He hurried to the camp and saw Xing Daorong holding a memorial ceremony.

I was so excited that I felt like I had lost something and then found it again.

He quickly called out: "Zi Yu! You scared me!"

Xing Daorong turned around and saw that it was Zhang Fei who came.

I immediately knew that this guy had come to rescue us after receiving the news, so I quickly stepped forward and greeted him: "Yide, you're here!"

Zhang Fei nodded vigorously, looked Xing Daorong up and down and said, "I heard that this pass is full of memorial items. I thought you died here in battle."

Xing Daorong laughed loudly when he heard this: "There are so many people who want to kill me, but how can I die so easily?"

Zhang Fei laughed: "Evils live long, let's all be the evils of Cao Cao and Sun Quan!"

As he said this, he saw that the atmosphere around him was a little cold, and he finally remembered who Xing Daorong was doing this for.

Xing Daorong then explained the matter of Jiang Jiong's death in battle, and Zhang Fei was deeply moved after hearing it.

After a while, he said, "We will definitely avenge Gongcao! We can't let any of the Rong people go."

"By now, the troops from Hanzhong should have reached Liang Province. With Wei Yan leading the troops, those Rong people will be in trouble."

Xing Daorong understood as soon as he heard it.

Chengdu is far away and there is no time to mobilize troops. Besides, the soldiers in Chengdu are tired and it is not a good idea to continue to wage war.

But he said: "Cao Cao did not bring his own troops to Liang Province. He relied on the Rong people and Zhang He to command. If Wei Yan goes, there will be no problem."

"As for us, it is useless to add more troops to Xu Chu, relying on the Xiongguan Pass."

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "That's right. It seems I came here for nothing!"

Zhang Fei's words were just a joke. After all, Xing Daorong managed to hold on. If he hadn't, Zhang Fei would have arrived just in time.

At this moment, Xing Daorong grabbed Zhang Fei and said, "How can you say it's a waste of time?"

"Yide's arrival is just in time. Cao Cao came to fight, but there's no reason for him to just leave after the fight!"

"Let's think about how to fight back!"

Zhang Fei was overjoyed and called out, "Zi Yu, tell me, how should we fight back?"

Xing Daorong pulled Zhang Fei to another big tent. When they entered, they saw only a sand table in the middle of the tent and several maps hanging inside.

Zhang Fei followed Xing Daorong to the sand table, and heard Xing Daorong introduce: "Cao Cao's troops coming to attack Dasan Pass are all in Chencang."

"I want to join Yide in seizing Chencang!"

"Once Chencang is captured, there will be no more land to defend before Chang'an. We can march straight to Chang'an!"

Historically, many famous battles have taken place in the area from Dasan Pass to Chencang.

What is most well-known is Han Xin's "openly repairing the plank road and secretly passing through Chencang", which enabled Liu Bang, who was imprisoned in Hanzhong by Xiang Yu, to enter Guanzhong, thus marking the beginning of the Chu-Han Contention.

Throughout Chinese history, there have been more than seventy battles, starting from the Chu-Han Contention between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, to the "Qinling Campaign" launched by the People's Liberation Army against the remnants of Hu Zongnan who retreated to the Qinling Mountains, and the battle for Dashan Pass.

Now, Xing Daorong and Zhang Fei also plan to launch a counterattack against Cao Cao here!

Zhang Fei was naturally excited when he heard this, but he asked: "Even if we go straight to Chencang, we can also sneak through Chencang!"

Xing Daorong's eyes sparkled, and his face was heavy as he said, "Jiang Gongcao's death cannot be in vain!"

"Cao Cao wants my general's life, I want his life too!"

"I heard that he has been suffering from headaches lately. Once we capture Chencang and get close to Chang'an, we'll see if his headache gets worse!"
