Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 29 My Lord, I will cover your retreat!
Xing Daorong led five hundred soldiers, who were guarding the front and back, and left Nanxu and set off quickly.

At the wedding banquet that day, Sun Quan was also very drunk. He was helped into the back hall by his attendants, and all the civil and military officials dispersed.

By the time the officials learned that Liu Bei and his companions had escaped, it was already dark.

He wanted to report to Sun Quan, but he was drunk and unconscious. When he went to bed, it was already five o'clock in the morning.

The next day, Sun Quan heard that Liu Bei had left, and he hurriedly summoned civil and military officials to discuss the matter.

Zhang Zhao said, "If this man gets away today, there will be trouble sooner or later. We must chase him quickly."

But when he said this, Zhang Zhao lowered his head very low.

This is no wonder, as Zhang Zhao is not favored by Sun Quan at the moment.

The reason was that during the Battle of Chibi, Zhang Zhao, in view of Cao Cao's great power, advocated surrender, and was thus squeezed out of the military and political decision-making center.

However, Zhang Zhao's words still touched Sun Quan's ears.

He immediately ordered Chen Wu and Pan Zhang to select 500 elite soldiers and march to retrieve the treasure day and night.

The two generals hurriedly took the order and left.

Liu Bei's departure without saying goodbye also deeply annoyed Sun Quan. After thinking about it, he was still not happy and smashed the jade inkstone on the table into pieces.

Cheng Pu frowned when he saw this, but said, "My lord, you are so angry that you can't catch him. I think Chen Wu and Pan Zhang will not be able to capture him."

Sun Quan snorted coldly and said, "How dare you disobey my order!"

Cheng Pu was a senior official for three generations, and he was not afraid of Sun Quan's anger. He stepped forward and said, "The princess has been fond of watching military events since she was young. She is strict and upright, and all the generals are afraid of her. Since she is willing to obey Liu Bei, she must leave with one heart. If the generals who are chasing see the princess, will they be willing to attack her?"

The little sister's elbow was bent outward, which made Sun Quan even angrier.

He drew the sword he was wearing and called Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai to obey his orders.

"You two take this sword and take my sister and Liu Bei's head! Anyone who disobeys my order will be executed immediately!"

Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were startled when they heard this, but they knew that military orders could not be disobeyed, so they immediately ordered a thousand soldiers and horses and rushed forward.

But Liu Bei whipped the horse and reined in, and hurried on.

That night, they rested for two watches on the road and then set off in a hurry.

When we arrived at Chaisang Border, we saw a cloud of dust rising behind us, and someone reported: "The pursuers are here!"

Liu Bei asked Xing Daorong in panic, "Now that the pursuers are here, what should we do?"

When Xing Daorong heard this, he puffed up his chest and said, "My lord, please go first. I will follow you!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei said anxiously, "Daorong is still injured, how can he cover the retreat?"

Of course Xing Daorong was willing, but unfortunately Liu Bei didn't give him any chance at the moment.

He pulled him and said, "Just go first!"

They walked quickly all the way like this, but when they turned around the foot of the mountain in front of them, they saw a group of soldiers and horses blocking their way.

The two generals in the front shouted loudly, "Liu Bei got off his horse and was tied up! I have been waiting for a long time under the order of General Zhou!"

It turned out that Zhou Yu had long anticipated that Liu Bei was going to escape, so he sent Xu Sheng and Ding Feng to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to set up camp and wait at a strategic location. He often sent people to climb high places and watch from afar, predicting that if Liu Bei took the dry road, he would have to pass through this road.

Seeing this, Liu Bei panicked and asked Xing Daorong beside him, "There are soldiers blocking us in front and soldiers chasing us from behind. We have no way out. What can we do?"

Xing Daorong didn't know what to do for a moment, so he said, "Don't panic, my lord. I will fight my way out and rescue you."

After saying this, he didn't care about how Liu Bei would react and just spurred his horse to charge forward!

"Wait a minute!"

Just as Xing Daorong was about to rush forward, Sun Qian beside him hurriedly tried to stop him.

But he said: "My lord, I'm afraid I have to ask my wife to come forward to untie this button!"

Liu Bei was moved when he heard this, and told Xing Daorong not to act rashly. He then turned around and looked for Sun Shangxiang in a hurry, saying, "I have something to say from the bottom of my heart, madam, please listen to it." Sun Shangxiang said, "If you have anything to say, please tell me the truth."

Liu Bei said anxiously, "In the past, the Marquis of Wu and Zhou Yu conspired to marry his wife to Liu Bei. It was actually a plot for his wife. They wanted to imprison Liu Bei and seize Jingzhou. After they seize Jingzhou, they will kill me."

"You are using your wife as bait to lure me. I am not afraid of death and come here because you know that your wife has a man's heart and will sympathize with me. I heard that the Marquis of Wu was going to harm me, so I said that Jingzhou was in trouble and planned to return home."

"Fortunately, my wife did not abandon me and came here with me."

Xing Daorong was listening at the side and thought to himself that Liu Bei's words were indeed very coy. This little talker was so talkative that he even came up with the "wife trap".

"Now the Marquis of Wu has sent people to chase us from behind, and Zhou Yu has sent people to intercept us from the front. Only my lady can help us out of this disaster. If my lady does not agree, I will die in front of the carriage to repay your kindness."

My goodness, Liu Bei’s last sentence was a retreat in order to advance, he was trying to completely block Sun Shangxiang’s retreat!
As expected, Sun Shangxiang was furious and said, "Since my brother doesn't consider me as his own flesh and blood, how can I face him again? I will handle the danger today by myself."

So he ordered his followers to push the cart straight out.

Xing Daorong took over the carriage and rolled up the curtain himself, only to see Sun Shangxiang shouting at Xu Sheng and Ding Feng, "Are you two planning to rebel?"

Generals Xu and Ding hurriedly dismounted, discarded their weapons, and bowed in front of the chariot, saying, "How dare you rebel? We are stationed here to await Liu Bei in compliance with the orders of Commander-in-Chief Zhou."

Sun Shangxiang was furious and said, "Zhou Yu, you traitor! I have never wronged you! Xuande is the uncle of the Han emperor and my husband. I have already told my mother and brother that I am going back to Jingzhou. Now you two are blocking the road with your troops at the foot of the mountain, intending to rob my wife and me of our belongings?"

My goodness, Sun Shangxiang has a really strong temper.

Who can bear these words?

As expected, Xu Sheng and Ding Feng kept saying, "We dare not. Please calm down, madam. This is not our business. This is the order of Governor Zhou."

Sun Shangxiang cursed again: "You are only afraid of Zhou Yu, but not me? Zhou Yu can kill you, so why can't I kill Zhou Yu?"

After scolding Zhou Yu loudly, he ordered the cart to move forward.

Xu Sheng and Ding Fengshi didn't dare to move. They knew in their hearts that it might be okay if they let her go, but if they really let Madam Sun die here, these two people might be in big trouble!

When Xing Daorong saw the two men letting go of the way, he was furious at them for not fighting back!

What happened to Sun Shangxiang?
Just stop it when it’s time to stop it!

Just let the person go. Do you know what a military order is?
Unfortunately, no one could understand Xing Daorong's wish, so the crowd walked past the three thousand people in a swagger.

Fortunately, the crisis has not been resolved.

Although Liu Bei and others moved faster after being intercepted, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai ran even faster because they were given swords by Sun Quan.

He originally led a thousand men and horses, but each man used three horses. In the end, he had two hundred men, and even surpassed Chen Wu and Pan Zhang who had left earlier.

Seeing Liu Bei, he shouted, "Liu Bei, don't run away!"

The two generals were aggressive and obviously had no good intentions, so Sun Shangxiang used her old trick again and loudly rebuked them.

Jiang Qin drew out his sword and said, "This is the sword of Marquis Wu. Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed without mercy!"

Sun Shangxiang was horrified. She never expected that Sun Quan would not even care about her own sister!

My heart suddenly sank, and I felt that the love between brother and sister had disappeared without a trace!
Seeing that the enemy would not give up, Xing Daorong saw Zhou Tai beside him and immediately became excited!

But he said to Liu Bei: "My lord, there is no escape now, I am the only one left to cover your retreat!"

"Go quickly, and don't look back! Never!"

Xing Daorong was afraid that something unexpected would happen again, so he told Liu Bei not to look back and to leave quickly.

Liu Bei thought that Xing Daorong was truly loyal. If such a loyal person stayed in the land of Dongwu, it would be a real loss for him.

But there was really no other way at the moment, so Liu Bei could only place his hopes on Xing Daorong.

He couldn't help but nodded vigorously with sadness, then turned and left without saying a word!
