Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 304 Xiao Qiao's Inspiration

Cao Cao’s army is back!

Even though Xing Daorong was recuperating in Xiangyang, he never lacked news about the incident.

However, when Xing Daorong heard that Cao Cao personally led his troops to Wancheng and only left a small number of troops in Hefei to deal with Lu Xun, he felt that something seemed to be wrong.

Logically speaking, if he kept his troops on hold, he would give Cao Cao and Sun Quan a chance to decide the outcome of the fight, a life-and-death battle!

Unexpectedly, it turned out that Cao Cao seemed to have gotten along with Sun Quan and returned to Wancheng, preparing to deal with Liu Bei's army in Xiangfan with all his strength.

This made Xing Daorong really confused!

"impossible!"

"There should be no room for buffer between Cao Cao and Sun Quan!"

"Sun Quan can only leave from Hefei and Jiujiang now. What's the point of these two people staying there?"

"Could it be that they have agreed that Cao Cao and I will have to decide the winner first?"

Xing Daorong always felt that things were not that simple, but he would never know that Cao Cao was passing through Sun Quan to prepare for a surprise attack on Jiangling.

To put it bluntly, who provided Zhang Liao with logistical supplies for such a long journey?

How could Jiangdong and Cao Wei trust each other so much?

Therefore, Xing Daorong never thought of this idea.

When Zhuge Liang and others heard the news that Cao Cao personally led his troops into Wancheng, they naturally crossed the Han River and went to Fancheng!

In Xiangyang
Only Xing Daorong brought his old brother Bao Long.
After all, Fancheng is right in front of Xiangyang. As long as Fancheng is not broken, Xiangyang will definitely be safe.

Xing Daorong is here, which is the rear area, so naturally there is no danger at all.

"How's it going? Any news from Fancheng?"

With the enemy right in front of him, Xing Daorong will definitely pay more attention to the situation in Fancheng.

In fact, with Zhuge Liang in charge, he was not worried at all. As expected, Bao Long was also delighted and said, "Cao Mengde personally led his troops to attack the city twice, but was beaten back by the military advisor each time!"

"If it weren't for the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry on the Cao Wei side, I'm afraid our military advisor would have won long ago."

Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
It's really troublesome
The closer they get to the Central Plains, the more powerful these cavalry become.

Xing Daorong's Modao Army has grown significantly over the years and now has 500 people.

These five hundred people were quite useful in dealing with the Modao Army at the critical moment, and they have now been handed over to Zhuge Liang.

but
The smoother things went, the more uneasy Xing Daorong felt.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but say to Bao Long: "It's impossible. If Cao Cao didn't have any plan to break the city, how could he attack from both sides?"

"Attack Hefei on one hand and Fancheng on the other. Even if Bai Qi were still alive, it would be difficult for him to do so."

"If there is no plan to break into the city, why would you come?"

Bao Long heard that the general looked very worried, but he didn't care much.

He just shrugged and said, "General, I don't think we need to worry so much. Cao Mengde is just too arrogant!"

"In the battle of Jiujiang, he got some advantages from us, but now he thinks we are as bad as those people from Jiangdong!"

"You're attacking from both sides, but you don't know how powerful we are!"

Cao Cao may not have known how powerful Liu Bei was at that time, but after the battles of Guanzhong and Xiangfan, he must have known how powerful he was.

Besides, Cao Cao had fought for so many years and knew that he could not be careless when fighting outside. How could he make such a mistake?
It's just that although Xing Daorong felt that the matter was not simple, he really had no clue. Bao Long saw his general was so worried, but he felt that it was completely unnecessary.

With a military advisor in front and family members and allies behind to fight against Cao Cao, what could go wrong?
However, Bao Long also knew that his brain was not enough, so he decided not to cause trouble for his own general.

After thinking about it, he went to find Xiao Qiao.
After hearing what Bao Long said, Xiao Qiao actually felt a little confused.

There shouldn't be any problem right now!

Even if Cao Cao led his army to attack Fancheng, what problem could there be with military advisor Zhuge Liang there?

But seeing that her brother-in-law was indeed depressed, she couldn't help but say, "Brother-in-law, what are you worried about in today's situation?"

Xing Daorong didn't know what he was upset about, so he smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know either, I just think Cao Cao shouldn't use his troops like this, and this is not the way to use troops."

Xiao Qiao smiled and said, "If my brother-in-law is really worried, why don't you go to Fancheng?"

"Although they are fighting against Cao Cao, it is better than staying in Xiangyang and worrying about it."

Xing Daorong smiled when he heard this and said, "That's not the case. There is a military advisor in Fancheng, so why would I go and cause trouble?"

After hearing this, Xiao Qiao thought for a while and said, "Since we can't go to Fancheng, why not go to Jiangling!"

"Let's go and have a chat with Governor Mi to relieve our boredom, so that my brother-in-law won't have to worry about it all day long."

Xing Daorong from Jiangling didn't want to go there even more.

Jiangling is now the rear of the rear, and going there is like going on vacation.

But Xiao Qiao seemed to have made up her mind and wanted Xing Daorong to change his environment.

He said, "It only takes a few days to get from Xiangyang to Jiangling. Let's go. We can stay there for a few days and then come back. There will be no problem."

Having said that, he went straight to find Bao Long to deal with him, regardless of whether Xing Daorong agreed or refused.

When Xing Daorong came, he brought Xiao Qiao and Bao Long with him, and when he left, he only took these two with him.

When Bao Long got the news from Xiao Qiao, he thought it was Xing Daorong's intention, so he immediately took care of it without saying a word.

Seeing that Bao Long was ready for everything, Xing Daorong thought that with Zhuge Liang in Xiangyang, it would not be a big deal, so he finally agreed.

So a few people reported to Zhuge Liang and went to Jiangling.

A few days later, when they arrived in the city, Mi Fang was naturally overjoyed. As soon as they met, he called out, "Zi Yu! Look, I have carved all the poems you wrote here last time on the stone tablet!"

Xing Daorong looked in the direction Mi Fang pointed, and sure enough, he saw a stone tablet in the mansion with his two poems engraved on it.

"In this way, it will be passed down for thousands of years, and everyone in the world will know that this is a poem written by Zi Yu."

I'm not too worried about this. The most amazing thing about the Chinese culture is its cultural heritage.

However, when he saw the stone tablet, Xing Daorong suddenly had an inspiration.

But he turned around and looked at Mi Fang and said, "Zifang, your idea is not bad, but it's a pity that it's used in the wrong place!"

"Used it in the wrong place?" Mi Fang was a little confused and asked, "Do you think it shouldn't be placed in the mansion?"

Xing Daorong shook his head and said, "No, no, it's just that this stone tablet should not be inscribed with our poems, but should be inscribed with the demeanor of our soldiers during the Battle of Jiangling."

Mi Fang was stunned when he heard this.

What kind of demeanor do these soldiers have? Why erect a monument for this?

Being loyal and wise is our duty.
However, Xing Daorong looked serious and said, "No need to say more, just write 'Jiangling Anti-Wu Memorial Monument'."
