Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 315 It's chaos!

gloomy…

Low pressure…

Silence…

In the huge hall, after Xiao Qiao finished telling everyone what happened in Jiangling, the place fell into silence.

After a while, Liu Bei said, "So, although Jiangling City has been destroyed, we still don't know whether Ziyu is alive or dead."

When Xiao Qiao heard this, she felt that Liu Bei's words were exactly the same as what she was thinking deep in her heart.

Although others said that the city had been breached and her brother-in-law must have died in the city, she thought that it was really hard to say.

My brother-in-law is so smart, how could he die so easily?

But everyone else said that Xing Daorong must have died in Jiangling City, so Xiao Qiao had no way of telling anyone about this and could only keep her hopes to herself.

Liu Bei still has this intention today, and Xiao Qiao suddenly felt hopeful.

But he excitedly echoed: "That's what I mean. If he dies, we must see his body. Now we haven't even seen the general's body, how can we say he is dead?"

"Right now, I don't know whether I will live or die..."

Liu Bei said, "It is better to not know whether one is alive or dead than to know the news of death! Xiaozhi, now that Jiangling has been lost and Xiangfan is in danger, even if there is a military advisor here, I cannot ignore it."

"I will personally lead the troops to attack Jiangling, and you will guard Chengdu!"

Fa Zheng was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly reacted and nodded in agreement.

Given the current situation, Chengdu can no longer sit back and relax.

Jiangdong and Cao Wei are in a state of compromise, and the situation is critical. We must win the battle in one go and never let Sun Quan occupy Jiangling.

Otherwise, Xiangfan will also be lost, and the situation in Jingzhou will fall apart in an instant!

Besides
Even if all this is not said, Xing Daorong's revenge must be avenged!

However, Fa Zheng did not expect that the decision to lead the army in person was made in just a moment, and he was stunned for a moment.

Liu Bei then said to Xiao Qiao, "There is another matter in Zi Yu's mansion. Don't go into details for now. Just say that Jiangling was defeated and Zi Yu retreated."

"A young child has just been born in their family. They should not be exposed to too much stimulation."

Liu Bei's words were really thoughtful. He even took into account the situation in Xing Daorong's mansion.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Qiao's face changed slightly, and she shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, King of Hanzhong, I know the situation in Jiangling best. You can ask me to follow you on this expedition. When we get to Jiangling, I will know the situation."

Liu Bei originally wanted to take Mi Fang with him, after all, Mi Fang knew the situation in Jiangling best.

But when he saw Xiao Qiao's serious expression, he suddenly had a feeling that she might be able to help at the critical moment.

He nodded slightly and said, "Okay!"

After that, he directed Fa Zheng, "Today, let Zhao Yun lead 10,000 troops as the vanguard, quickly leave Chengdu, and march to Jiangling!"

"Instead of giving orders, just ignore everything along the way and get to Jiangling as quickly as possible."

Fa Zheng responded immediately after hearing this, and when he saw that Liu Bei had no further instructions, he hurried down to pass on the order.

He also knew in his heart that this matter must not be delayed.

One minute and a half second faster could be the time that turns the tide of the battle.

Seeing this, Xiao Qiao became even more anxious. Regardless of her fatigue from the journey back, she hurriedly said, "Then I will follow General Zhao's vanguard!"

After saying this, she left without caring whether Liu Bei agreed or not, as if she would not listen to anything even if the emperor ordered her not to. Liu Bei looked at Xiao Qiao's "unruly" behavior, but he said nothing. He just looked at the sunlight coming from outside the palace with a heavy face.

He only thought to himself, "Zi Yu, a mere Jiangling is really nothing. Even if I start from scratch, what's the big deal?"

"Just, please don't let anything happen to you."

Xing Daorong naturally didn't know that Liu Bei and his sister-in-law in Chengdu were the only two people who thought they might not be dead yet. He now detoured to the wilderness between Jiangling and Gong'an, waiting for the power in Jiangling to be transferred.

just
It seems that the handover of Jiangling was not very smooth.

The scouts sent out that day came back and reported that Cao Cao's flag was still flying on the city wall of Jiangling.

When Xing Daorong heard the news, he almost thought he was wrong.

"Could it be that Zhang Liao never thought of giving the city to Jiangdong?"

This thought only flashed through his mind, and Xing Daorong quickly adjusted his thoughts.

Zhang Liao entered the city alone. If he gave the city to Sun Quan, he would be a cavalry and could outflank Xiangfan.

If you don't give the city to Sun Quan
It would be even more reasonable for Sun Quan to counterattack Jiangling. Zhang Liao could not defend it alone, so he must not make such a mistake.

So this is the city that must be given, and I know why the handover is so slow.

Just waiting like this
This was not a good thing for Xing Daorong's "wandering ghost" army.
At this moment, Bao Long was beside Xing Daorong and said, "General, we only have two days' worth of food. It's obviously not feasible to wait here any longer."

"Since you're leaving, why not go back to Yong'an?"

"General, once you get to Yong'an, lead your troops back to fight!"

Xing Daorong shook his head and said, "The opportunity is fleeting. Our chance to turn the tide is when Cao and Liu return the city!"

Bao Long said anxiously: "But it's only two days' rations. We can't starve to death here!"

Xing Daorong heard this and cursed, "Nonsense, can a living person be starved to death?"

"If there really comes a day when we run out of food, we can just leave."

Even if you starve for a day or two, you won't die of starvation.
When Bao Long heard Xing Daorong's plan, he felt relieved. He thought that he couldn't escape the city and then starve to death outside!
He nodded sullenly and said, "That's good. But General, what are they doing? Why don't they hurry up?"

Xing Daorong said: "The reason why they are so hesitant is that they can't reach an agreement on something. So, we need to be more patient."

Bao Long responded immediately, but what exactly happened in this city had to start from Zhang Liao asking Jiangdong for food.

It couldn't be that Sun Quan was the only one who agreed to Cao Cao's request to borrow the road.

After all, he passed through Jiangdong, so the local officials along the way must know about it, otherwise it would cause misunderstandings and lead to a fight.

Lu Su in Chaisang naturally knew it even more clearly!

But Lu Su was actually very opposed to this matter!

According to what he wanted, he should focus on dealing with Cao Cao and then compete with Liu Bei for the Central Plains.

Now it seems that we are getting all the advantages and can get Jiangling for free without doing anything, but in fact, the gain does not make up for the loss!
So what if we control the entire Yangtze River?
If you keep your own side, there will never be a way out!

Lu Su finally realized that Sun Quan was a loser!
Sun Quan is a man with his own set of ideas.
It cannot be said that he has his own way, but he is better than his brother.

But he is far inferior to Sun Ce in his external relations. If he were Sun Bofu, how could he do such a thing!

So when Zhang Liao asked for food, Lu Su was already somewhat unwilling, but when he heard that it required two months' worth of military rations, he naturally refused.

He only replied: "It can provide military rations for half a month. If you are still short of food, you can get more."
