Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 277: Battle of Xiangfan
When seeing Sun Qian getting the seal, the one who was most upset was not Xing Daorong, but Mi Fang who was standing next to him.

This guy actually intercepted!
"Zi Yu said the poem before me first!"

"If he takes it and stamps it, wouldn't it mean that Zi Yu's manuscript is in his hands?"

Mi Fang absolutely could not answer this question, but it was also not easy to show it too obviously.

After all, it seems a bit immoral to ruin someone's good deeds in front of others.

It is said that "a gentleman helps others to achieve their goals", isn't it?

Now he only hopes that Xing Daorong can reject Sun Qian on his own.

pity…

Xing Daorong didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at all!
He actually nodded and prepared to stamp it.

Mi Fang couldn't help it now. He suddenly thought of a reason.

But he said, "Oh, this is not written by Zi Yu himself, how can it be stamped with a seal?"

"I think it's better to write it down myself and then stamp it."

The reason why Sun Qian prepared his own poems was to avoid trouble.

When I met Xing Daorong, I just used the stamp.

Of course, if Sun Qian built it privately, it would not be impossible, but if others knew that he was cheating, he would be ridiculed.

When Xing Daorong heard this, it seemed inappropriate to put his seal on someone else's handwritten paper.

Then he said, "Zifang is right. I'd better write it myself first."

Got it!
When Sun Qian heard this, he realized that his plan had completely failed.

But he didn't force it, just smiled and said, "That's exactly what should be done!"

"If it can be passed down in the future, it will definitely be a treasure that will be remembered for generations to come."

This sounds unreliable.

Just take the treasures in the imperial palace, they cannot withstand the vicissitudes of life, let alone the ups and downs of the Chinese nation. Even if they could be passed down, those two pieces of paper would eventually rot.

However, although the "original" cannot survive the passage of time, the deeds can be passed down.

...

Sun Qian’s “little trick” failed, so he didn’t mention it any more and followed Xing Daorong to Xiangyang.

In just two days, the group arrived at the city of Xiangyang.

It is worth mentioning that Xiao Qiao did not return to Chengdu by herself, but followed Xing Daorong all the way to Xiangyang.

As for why, according to her, it was naturally to let her son Zhou Xun learn more from Xing Daorong.

That's what he said, but only Xiao Qiao knew what he was thinking in his heart.

Outside the city of Xiangyang, Guan Pingdeng was already outside the city and had obviously received the news early.

Seeing Xing Daorong, Guan Ping immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "General Xing! Guan Ping has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Guan Ping was so respectful to Xing Daorong because he had served as Xing Daorong's deputy general for quite a while and had learned a lot from him.

Secondly, it was because Xing Daorong had used a trick to rescue Guan Yu from a heavy siege in Xiangyang, so he was naturally grateful.

He bowed so firmly that Xing Daorong hurried forward to help him up. After looking him up and down, he found that Guan Ping looked more mature and steady.

I felt very relieved and had a feeling that there was someone to carry on my legacy.

But he said: "Young General, come on, take me to see Yunchang!"

Guan Ping was also very happy to see Xing Daorong, and hurried forward to lead the way, saying: "Father has been talking about the general for a long time, especially after the poems the general wrote, he wanted to go directly to Jiangling to find you."

"I said that I didn't realize that the general was so talented in writing back then, so I had to go and meet him."

"If it weren't for the fact that Xiangyang must not be lost, I'm afraid he would have gone there long ago." Xing Daorong laughed after hearing this: "I didn't expect Yunchang to like poetry. I thought he only studied military tactics and wanted to support the Han Dynasty."

Guan Ping did not explain much, but praised again: "The general's poems are so stunning that who would not be moved by them?"

While they were talking, they had already entered the city.

When Xing Daorong took a quick look, he saw a peaceful and prosperous scene unfolding in Xiangyang City.

On the city wall, soldiers in iron armor were patrolling the surroundings, and the armor reflected a dazzling light under the sunlight.

There were actually quite a few vendors shouting on both sides of the streets in the city, their voices rising and falling, making it very lively.

Xiangyang is close to the river, and the fishing industry is prosperous. Most of the vendors there are fishmongers. They are beating wooden barrels vigorously, attracting customers to watch. The people are selecting fresh ingredients, with satisfied smiles on their faces.

There were endless streams of pedestrians and carriages passing through the streets.

Xing Daorong looked at it and thought to himself, this is amazing!

You know, although Xiangyang is an important city these days, it is still the front line!

As a frontline city, it can show such a level of peace and prosperity, which really shows that Guan Yu's level is very high.

Xing Daorong couldn't help but praise him as he watched: "Young General, Yunchang is indeed amazing when it comes to his ability to govern a place."

"But I can't tell at all that Cao Cao's troops are not far from Xiangyang City."

Guan Ping's smile never faded, and he said, "That Cao Ren is not a peaceful ruler either. He once sent troops to the river to attack our fishing boats in Xiangyang."

"In the end, my father led his navy to defeat the enemy, and only then did we have peace."

That's it!

Xing Daorong understood that this prosperous scene was also created by Guan Yu.

but
It sounds like Guan Yu is also very good at naval battles now?
Although Cao Ren was not good at naval battles, hearing about Guan Yu fighting a naval battle seemed a bit awkward.

Just as he was thinking this, Guan Ping kept saying along the way: "Right now, Xiangyang and Fancheng are both training their navy, and the river is the most uneasy place."

"If the general is interested, he should go to Jiangshan to have a look."

Xing Daorong listened and nodded slightly.

Although he came here just to pretend, the key to the battle of Xiangfan must be the naval battle on the Han River.

Since I'm here, I must go to the river to take a look, but there's no rush right now.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a gong sound from the city.

Xing Daorong was startled when he heard the sound and thought that the enemy was attacking!

Guan Ping hurriedly said: "General, don't be nervous. It's time to change the guard."

Xing Daorong stopped walking when he heard this, raised his head and looked at the city wall again. Sure enough, he saw teams of soldiers changing shifts, and the new sentinels took over the flags in high spirits.

Everything was in perfect order, and Xing Daorong couldn't help but be fascinated by it.

It was Guan Ping's call that brought him back to his senses, and he said, "General, let's go. Father must be waiting anxiously."

So the two of them said no more and went back to the mansion.

When he entered, he saw Guan Yu sitting in the hall, holding a military book in his hand, looking at it seriously.

Seeing Xing Daorong coming, he quickly put down his military book and stepped forward and said, "Zi Yu, you are finally here!"

"I heard you were coming here, so I'll wait for you!"

"That Cao Ren relied on the Han River to block me several times. It was really uncomfortable!"

"Zi Yu has come here now, I think he must have a plan to deal with the enemy, it's a good thing he came!"

From what Guan Yu said, Xing Daorong realized that he had high hopes for him and was counting on him to deal with Cao Ren!
未免
I trust myself too much!
