Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 276: Yecheng is in more chaos

Cao Pi felt that he had been tricked.

More importantly, this set was obviously left by Cao Zhi for himself.

Since he had fallen into the trap, firstly, it showed that he was not as capable as Cao Zhi, and secondly,
The brothers' intention to kill each other was completely exposed. I wonder what would happen if my father knew about it!
Thinking of this, Cao Pi became a little anxious.

At that moment, he lost most of his thoughts on going to the military camp and immediately went to look for someone.

The person he was looking for was naturally his die-hard supporter, Mao Jie.

The reason why Mao Jie was a staunch supporter of Cui Yan can be traced back to when Cui Yan left.

As everyone knows, Cui Yan and Mao Jie were good friends, so when Cui Yan left, Mao Jie was also implicated.

Although Cao Cao didn't say anything, he was suppressing him in some way.

At this time, it was Cao Pi who gave him a hand, so Mao Jie was not really suppressed.

From then on, Mao Jie became Cao Pi's staunch supporter.

Now that he had come to him and told him the situation, he immediately said, "Don't panic. The King of Wei has asked the Crown Prince to go to Hefei, and he has already favored the Crown Prince."

It would be better if this incident had never happened. If Cao Zhi made a fuss about it, he would not only make the matter bigger, but would be in a disadvantageous position.

That's it!

Cao Pi was immediately certain when he heard this.

But in the end, I fell into a trap. I have to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances, and I am still somewhat passive.

He was indignant and said, "I don't know who gave Zijian this vicious idea."

Mao Jie didn't respond to this.

In fact, as Cao Cao's health was getting worse, the conflict between his two sons, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, was becoming more and more obvious.

Cao Pi had many supporters, so Cao Zhi was not completely weak.

First of all, there is an important figure.

Who?
Xun Yu’s eldest son, Xun Yun!
It is difficult to explain why Xun Yun supported Cao Zhi. If we speculate a little more maliciously, it was because of the death of his father Xun Yu and he did not want Cao Cao to have a good life.

This means supporting Cao Zhi and making the situation a mess.

Or perhaps Xun Yun really felt that Cao Zhi was more virtuous than Cao Pi, which was why he did so.

but
No matter what the reason, Xun Yu's eldest son clearly supported Cao Zhi.

So even though Mao Jie didn't say anything at the moment, Cao Pi already had a candidate in mind.

This guy Xun Yun!

Definitely the most suspicious one!
However, given the situation of the Xun family, Cao Pi did not dare to act even if he had any ideas.

Besides
Although several years had passed, Xun Yu's influence was still there. Even if Cao Pi disliked Xun Yun, he could not take any action.

I had a lot of evil thoughts in my mind, so I planned to go to Hefei first and then make plans when I came back.

However, if one is not sure about one's mind, the outcome of many things may be uncertain. Cao Pi went to Hefei, and Xun You followed him. It is hard to say that there will be no problems.
Let’s not talk about whether Cao Pi’s affairs would give Cao Cao some ideas, and let’s talk about our General Xing.

After the police had completely given him the title of "Poetry God", Xing Daorong naturally planned to go to Chengdu to report the situation.

As a result, just as they returned to Jiangling, Liu Bei's transfer came.

Ask Xing Daorong to go to Xiangyang to assist Guan Yu and attack Fancheng!

Xing Daorong was surprised that the transfer order came so quickly. Could it be that the envoy from Jiangdong had already arrived?
He immediately asked the messenger Sun Qian, "Gongyou, the lord wants me to go to Xiangyang alone without even giving me any soldiers?"

Sun Qian naturally wouldn't think that Xing Daorong was complaining.

Hearing this, he just smiled and said, "General Xing, it's not that we won't give anyone away. The lord has said that General Bao Long will still follow you." Xing Daorong listened and looked at Bao Long, who was smiling foolishly, and suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

After thinking for a while, he asked Sun Qian again: "My lord, did you ask me to go because you learned that Jiangdong was going to mobilize troops?"

As far as Xing Daorong was concerned, if it weren't for cooperating with Jiangdong in Hefei, they would never have sent troops to Xiangfan.

To put it bluntly, instead of mobilizing troops in Xiangfan, it is better to attack Chang'an!
The symbolism of Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty, is so strong. If Liu Bei can help Chang'an, the whole world will surely be shocked!
If we are going to fight, we will naturally fight in important places.

Of course, it’s not to say that Fancheng is not important, but Xing Daorong feels that Chang'an is much more important than Fancheng.

Apart from cooperating with Jiangdong, there is really no reason to attack Fancheng.

Unexpectedly, Sun Qian just shook his head, still smiling, and said, "General Xing, you are wrong this time!"

"The news from Jiangdong hasn't come yet, but the lord's transfer order has already been sent out."

Xing Daorong was surprised and said, "What is going on? Gongyou may be able to explain it clearly."

Sun Qian nodded slightly and said, "Of course, it is possible. In fact, it was Zhuge Military Advisor who advised the lord on this matter."

"He said: Now that the Three Kingdoms have formed, we have been fighting for many years, so we naturally need to rest for a while. However, if this is the case, Sun Quan will see that our army is getting stronger and stronger, but he does not move his troops, and he will inevitably panic."

"So it would be better to mobilize the troops of Jingzhou and attack Xiangfan. It would appear to be an attack on the city, but in reality it is a retreat."

"This will calm Sun Quan's mind and prevent Cao Cao from fighting to the death. It will also allow Yizhou, Liangzhou, and even Jingnan to rest and recuperate."

That's it!

Xing Daorong was impressed after hearing this!

Zhuge Liang was indeed far-sighted!
If he and Cao Cao continued to survive and grow, Sun Quan would probably become anxious when he saw that he was the weakest.

Once Sun Quan becomes anxious or uneasy, he may do anything.

If Sun Quan could see that Liu Bei and Cao Cao were constantly fighting each other in Jingzhou, right in front of him, and had no time to take care of Jiangdong, then he might feel more at ease.

It is no wonder that the transfer order did not even provide any troops, but only asked Xing Daorong to help Guan Yu.

It turns out it was just a show!

I’m afraid even Zhuge Liang himself didn’t expect that his plan would come at the same time as the news from Jiangdong!
This was the perfect timing, allowing Xing Daorong to receive orders in Jiangling without having to go back and forth.

Xing Daorong understood what he heard and immediately accepted the order, saying, "Please tell the lord that Daorong will not fail in his mission and will not give Cao Ren any more headaches."

Unexpectedly, Sun Qian laughed again and said, "My lord has said that as long as the transfer order is handed over to General Xing, there is no need to go back and report. Just follow General Xing to Xiangyang."

"So this time, Qian Dang will follow the general!"

When Xing Daorong heard this, he realized that Liu Bei really trusted him and didn't even want Sun Qian's report.

At that moment, he sighed, "My lord, I am so unworthy of your trust."

Unexpectedly, Sun Qian changed the subject and said, "There is one more thing. When I left Chengdu, I went to the general's mansion and asked for a general's seal!"

"I met the general today, please give me your seal!"

Stamp?

Xing Daorong was surprised to hear this and didn't know what Sun Qian was going to do with the seal he gave him.

It was not until he took out three of his poems, handed them to me with both hands, and looked expectant that I understood.

It is said to be a stamp, but in fact it requires your own signature!
