Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 313 Jiangling was breached!
The eastern sky gradually turned pale, and the silence of the night was about to end.

The faint light shines dimly through the mist onto the bluestone-paved alley.

The sound of flowing water under the stone bridge began to become clearer, but the entire Jiangling city was silent, without any human voice.

Outside the city, Zhang Liao looked around Jiangling City and saw no one there. It seemed as if Jiangling City was an empty city.

"Xing Daorong ran away?"

An idea suddenly popped up in his mind, and he ordered the soldiers to attack the city quickly.

"Bang! Bang!"

With the bombardment of the battering ram, the gate of Jiangling city burst open.

Zhang Liao hurriedly led his troops into the city, and found that there was no one in the entire city.

Moved cleanly!

Zhang Liao felt something was wrong and quickly went to find someone to check the Jiangling granary.

In just a moment, someone came to report that the granary in Jiangling was empty and there was nothing left!
It turned out that Xing Daorong knew that he could not defend the city, so he took a portion of military rations with him when the people left.

With tens of thousands of people leaving, Jiangling City was completely emptied in an instant.

Zhang Liao had a gloomy expression, but he could roughly guess that if it weren't for the people of Jiangling City, the food in the city would have been burned to ashes and could not have been transported away.

However, Zhang Liao did not regret it. Compared with massacring the city, it would be better to just lose this little bit of food.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to sort things out with Jiangdong and that would be troublesome.

The most urgent task now is to find out where Xing Daorong went.
Just as he was about to send out scouts to look for Xing Daorong, he suddenly heard a soldier hurriedly report: "General! Xing Daorong left a message for you."

Left a message?
This sounded awkward, and Zhang Liao was suspicious, so he just asked someone to lead the way quickly.

But the soldier led the way to a stone tablet in the city.

Zhang Liao looked at the stone tablet and saw the inscription: "Memorial to the Defense of Jiangling"

Only then did I realize that this was a monument.

"General, look here."

Zhang Liao looked in the direction the soldier had pointed out, and sure enough, he saw a line of small words engraved on the monument in front of the monument.

I saw a calligraphy saying: "In this world, there are two kinds of generals. Those who help the weak and suppress the strong or those who bully the weak can become heroes admired by everyone, or they can become demons that everyone wants to kill."

"The greatest heroes serve their country and their people."

"If a general or a king does not know how to protect the people, but only slaughters them for his own selfish desires, why should he be called a general or a king?"

"General, think twice, stop before it's too late, return to the right path, and stop aiding and abetting the evil."

"There is no difference between a Han general and a Wei general. The only difference is how they treat the people."

Zhang Liao looked at the words on the ground and could tell at a glance that these were left for him by Xing Daorong.

Is there no regret in your heart?

Of course there are!
Especially when Xing Daorong asked himself "help the weak and suppress the strong or bully the weak", Zhang Liao naturally thought of Cao Cao's order for him to massacre the city.

Zhang Liao knew very well that if Xing Daorong had not relocated all the people in Jiangling City, he would have been able to hold out for several more days relying on the strong walls of Jiangling City, and he would not have to leave completely today.

But when he sent these people away, he must have done so without hesitation.

He was alone, leading the army to the rear.

As long as he had a thought, the army would attack, and Xing Daorong's thousands of soldiers would definitely not be able to defend the city! The two had completely different attitudes when facing the people. How could Zhang Liao not sigh?
Feeling a little confused, Zhang Liao shook his head, but turned to his deputy general and said, "Jiangling has been captured. We came here lightly with little food and grass. We should borrow food from Jiangdong in exchange for the city."

"Go to the river bank and write a letter to the people in Jiangdong, asking for two months' worth of food and grass in exchange for the city of Jiangling."

The deputy general received the order and left immediately.

Zhang Liao ordered his troops to rest in the city while he stood in front of the monument, looking at the offerings on the ground and the words left by Xing Daorong. He couldn't help but have another thought in his mind.

"A thousand years later, if the descendants of this generation really choose one person to worship in this era, who will they choose?"

If Xing Daorong knew that Zhang Liao was thinking about this kind of question, he would answer without hesitation that in the future, there will be the Wuhou Temple which has been worshipped for a thousand years, and there will be Guan Gong who has been deified, but no one will worship the Cao family.

However, he had already left Jiangling City, so naturally he didn't know that Zhang Liao had such an idea.

At present, he is stationed in the wilderness twenty miles outside Jiangling City.

Bao Long beside him hurried over to report: "General, our spies saw Zhang Liao entering the city. What should we do?"

Xing Daorong said, "No hurry. It's useless for Zhang Liao to take Jiangling. He must be heading to Xiangfan. If he is in a hurry, he will set out tomorrow."

"Jiangling is an empty city, no one can stay here. Let's see which troops from Jiangdong come to take over the city."

Bao Long nodded when he heard this, but after thinking for a while, he said, "I'm afraid that they will find out about our small number of people."

Xing Daorong turned around and said, "What are you afraid of? If we are discovered, we will fight to the death. We may have died in Jiangling City. We have already earned our lives, so why should we be afraid of losing them?"

Bao Long said with a serious face, "I am not afraid of losing my life, but I am afraid that the plan will fail and delay important things."

After these fierce battles, Xing Daorong certainly knew that Bao Long had changed his appearance a long time ago.

He is really a man who is not afraid of death!

He also responded: "Of course I know, but according to my prediction, the Sun and Cao families are now focusing on taking over the city and will definitely not care about the outside world."

"We must not lose our composure. Let's first see who is coming to take over the city."

Xing Daorong spoke calmly, but Bao Long could not help but feel hatred when he heard the name Jiang Dong.

He immediately shouted, "The people of Jiangdong will make them pay the price for their betrayal sooner or later!"

Xing Daorong listened without saying anything, but his face was very gloomy.

He had already blamed the people of Jiangdong for Luo Meng's death and the fall of Jiangling!
This hatred!

Must report!

But that's for later. I don't know if the news of Jiangling's fall has reached Xiangfan yet. Don't let Zhuge Liang think that he's finished.
Xing Daorong wondered whether Xiangfan would get the news, but he didn't expect that someone would know it faster.

Who?
Naturally, they were the people who came out of Jiangling.

Although they left Jiangling City, they were all thinking about General Xing.

The same is true for Mi Fang.

No matter what others think, or whether they think he is marrying above his station, he truly regards Xing Daorong as his own brother!

The concern in my heart cannot be abandoned in the slightest.

Even after he left, he always asked people to keep an eye on the situation in Jiangling, hoping for a miracle to happen and that Jiangling City must not be breached!
just
The reason why a miracle is called a miracle is because the probability of its occurrence is so low.

The next morning after leaving Jiangling, someone came to report that the city of Jiangling was already filled with the flags of Cao's army!

Jiangling City has been broken!
