Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 285 Fighting for Credit
Generally speaking, Liu Bei's navy and Cao Cao's navy were equally matched, and neither was much better than the other.

In fact, the navies of these two factions are based on the Jingzhou faction and have the same teachers.

Although many people from the Jingzhou faction surrendered to Cao Cao, many of them were killed by Cao Cao.

Although Liu Bei had fewer people on his side, and their family status was not as high as those who surrendered to Cao, there were still some capable people among them.

As a result, although Cao Cao was famous for having many talented people in Jingzhou, he also killed many of them.

Especially the representatives of the Jingzhou army, they were all killed.

Although there are few people who surrender to Liu Bei, they are real.

Therefore, the capabilities of the navy are really similar as one increases while the other decreases.

It is obvious that it is not easy for Xing Daorong to gain an advantage over Wen Pin's navy at the moment.

However, the overall situation at the moment is that Xing Daorong has the upper hand.

Originally, Cao's army was small in number, and Xing Daorong was attacking with his entire army, so naturally they would have an advantage.

Seeing that Xing Daorong was about to win, Wen Pin ordered a retreat.

Xing Daorong refused to give up and was about to give chase.

But suddenly, we heard the sound of troops retreating from the port.

Wen Pin's eyebrows jumped when he heard this, and he quickly looked behind, and sure enough, Xing Daorong was jumping up and down on the boat.

He yelled, "Stupid!"

"This will surely destroy the enemy formation, how can we return?"

"Who's making trouble on the shore?"

Then Bao Long, who was standing by, called out, "It's General Guan!"

"General Guan has ordered us to withdraw our troops for some unknown reason!"

Bao Long did not try to hide anything when he spoke, and Wen Pin heard it clearly!
He immediately understood what was going on and ordered the entire army to retreat and not to fight any further.

However, Wen Pin felt that he understood the situation clearly, but Xing Daorong's "performance" continued.

But he cried, "Why? Why did the former general call back his troops?"

Bao Long replied: "They say...they say they are afraid that Cao's army will ambush us, so we can't chase them!"

Xing Daorong listened and cursed.

"Nonsense!"

"The Cao army only has this small number of naval forces, how can they set up an ambush?"

"I finally managed to lure away the enemy general and was about to break through the enemy camp, but he ran away!"

"Now I don't need him anymore. I defeated the enemy on my own, but he called off the battle just when I was victorious!"

"What on earth is Guan Yu thinking?"

Xing Daorong's cursing became louder and louder. Wen Pin could still hear his increasingly loud voice even after he had driven quite a distance away.

But he shouted, "I must report this to my lord! I must seek justice for myself!"

Bao Long's voice is also quite loud.

"No, General!"

"Guan Yu is the brother of the King of Hanzhong. Whether this justice can be restored is another matter."

Xing Daorong's voice seemed to be even angrier, but he shouted: "My lord has always been very clear about justice. If you knew the whole story, you would definitely not be biased towards Guan Yu!"

"It's unbearable!"

"If you really are partial... humph... it's not that simple!"

When these words were spoken, not to mention others, even Wen Pin's heart skipped a beat.

He felt that the "cruelness" was obvious, and thought that Xing Daorong was completely annoyed by Guan Yu.

Even Wen Pin was frightened, let alone Bao Long.

Although this guy knew that he was acting, he was a little flustered by Xing Daorong's decisive tone. He looked very sick, and didn't look relaxed like he was acting.

Only when he saw the Cao Wei navy sailing away and could no longer see their backs did Bao Long cautiously ask, "General, you can't really sue General Guan!"

The highest level of acting is to deceive yourself while acting.

Seeing Bao Long so devoted, Xing Daorong was quite pleased.

But he said: "Be at ease, I just want to confuse Cao Ren's mind, so you better not be confused first."

Bao Long was relieved after hearing this, but he said: "That's good, but I don't know...how Cao Ren will react."

Xing Daorong listened and said, "It's nothing more than using strategies to divide them and defeat them one by one."

"We don't need to worry too much, just wait and see how he makes his move."

After saying that, Xing Daorong saw that Cao Jun had disappeared in the distance, and then he smiled and said, "Let's go! Let's go back and reason with Yun Chang!"

...

Let’s not talk about Xing Daorong’s theory, let’s talk about Cao Ren first.

After hearing Wen Pinhui's report and Xing Daorong's blunt words and curses at Guan Yu on the river, his frowning expression of the past few days finally began to relax.

He paced back and forth in the tent, muttering to himself, "Guan Yu is Liu Bei's sworn brother, and Xing Daorong is Liu Bei's general who has repeatedly saved him from danger. If Xing Daorong really goes to Chengdu to complain, Liu Bei will surely be in a state of panic!"

"First, Guan Yu cannot be touched, and second, Xing Daorong cannot be punished. I guess Liu Bei is destined to separate the two!"

Wen Pin listened and said quickly: "Guan Yu is the general of the garrison. If we want to separate, I'm afraid we can only ask Xing Daorong to leave."

"In this way, the crisis in Xiangyang can be resolved..."

Just as Wen Pin said, Cao Ren was weak in the eyes of Xing Daorong, not Guan Yu.

To put it bluntly, if Xing Daorong had not seen through Sima Yi's plan, Guan Yu would have been trapped by the river in Fancheng long ago.

Since he was able to control Guan Yu back then, he is naturally not afraid of him, even though... his name is Guan Yu.

Wen Pin was so happy to hear this, thinking that as long as Xing Daorong left, the situation in Xiangfan would be stabilized.

However, Cao Ren saw that Guan Yu and Xing Daorong were really at odds with each other, so how could he miss such a good opportunity? What could he do but ask Xing Daorong to leave?

He immediately stopped pacing, his eyes flashing with ruthlessness, and said in a cold voice: "Guan Yu and Xing Daorong are the great threats to the King of Wei!"

"Especially Xing Daorong, who repeatedly ruined the King of Wei's plans."

"Xiahou Yuan, Xu Chu, and Niu Jin all died because of him!"

"Now that Guan Yu and Xing Daorong are at odds, we should kill him. How can we let him go so easily?"

Of course Wen Pin also wanted to kill Xing Daorong.

In particular, revenge for Niu Jin is also his wish.

But it is not easy to kill that guy. If you are not careful, you may fall into his trap!

Wen Pin immediately said: "Even if those two are fighting for credit, it would not be easy to kill Xing Daorong..."

Of course it is not easy to kill, but if it were easy to kill, we wouldn’t have to waste so much effort.

Cao Ren said: "Since there is a dispute over merit in Jingzhou, we can encourage Xing Daorong to be greedy and reckless, so as to lure the enemy and annihilate them, and then we can achieve something!"

Wen Pin was still worried: "I'm afraid Xing Daorong won't fall into the trap easily..."

This is actually a bit of a euphemism.

In fact, Wen Pin was still a little worried that he had fallen into Xing Daorong's trap. Would that guy really compete with Guan Yu for credit...

But on second thought, it is true that Guan Yu was able to break the water fort, and it is also true that he sounded the call for troops when Xing Daorong was about to win.

If this happened to me, I wouldn’t be able to bear it either!
Even though I still had doubts in my heart, I didn't say them out loud.

Cao Ren was full of confidence, but he said: "If you want Xing Daorong to be greedy for merit and advance rashly, how can it be done without great merit?"

"This time I will personally use myself as a lure to lure Xing Daorong into the trap!"

"This Xiangyang is where he will die!"
