Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 316 Chaos
When Zhang Liao received Lu Su's reply, he immediately understood.

Jiang Dong wants to control me!
hateful!

I spent so much effort to capture Jiangling City, but I just gave it to the people of Jiangdong for free.

These Jiangdong people are really good. They even want to control us by taking advantage of the food and grass!

How could Zhang Liao not hate?

He even had the idea that if Jiangdong didn't provide food and grass, he would not give the city!

But this thought was quickly forgotten by Zhang Liao, as he knew that the consequences of not giving up Jiangling would be even more serious.

I can't tolerate this, but I have to endure it!
Even though you have to endure it, you can't be like a turtle.

This is the way to procrastinate and not give the city to Jiangdong.

This is not spoken, but spoken directly through actions.
Tell the people of Jiangdong clearly who fought hard to capture this city!

Seeing that Zhang Liao was hesitating in the city, Lu Su knew that Zhang Liao was challenging him.

But he was even less anxious!

It was really useless for Zhang Liao to capture Jiangling. His goal was just to counter-encircle Xiangfan.

One day of delay is one day of danger
The one who suffered the loss was Zhang Liao himself!

So, Zhang Liao and Lu Su, in this atmosphere where neither of them could stand each other, decided to exchange cities and food.

If there is no external force, this exchange should still be able to go on smoothly in a disharmonious atmosphere.

But it just so happened that not far from Jiangling, Xing Daorong was leading the Jiangling troops, looking for an opportunity.

Zhang Liao was eventually captured. Jiangling was an empty city and it was useless for him to control it.

Besides, there was not much food and grass in the city, so he had no choice but to agree to Lu Su's request and give him half a month's worth of food and grass first.

After this was agreed upon, a grain transport team from Jiangdong headed for Jiangling City.

Xing Daorong was originally waiting for the troops from Jiangdong to march towards Jiangling to see if there would be an opportunity to launch an attack.

As a result, the spies ahead reported that Jiangdong was transporting food and fodder to the city.

How could Xing Daorong miss this opportunity?

After hearing the news, Xing Daorong immediately said to Bao Long beside him: "Now the opportunity has come. The people of Jiangdong really want to supply food and grass to Cao Wei."

"Now, they don't know that we are in the lead, but they are brazenly preparing to send food and grass."

"We can rob and kill people along the way, burn the food supplies in Jiangdong, and still get a few days' worth of food."

Bao Long was naturally very happy.

But he shouted: "Good, good! These Jiangdong people should have been taught a lesson long ago!"

Cao Wei and Jiangdong were both more disgusting than the other, but once Xing Daorong's excitement wore off, he quickly started analyzing again.

Seeing that Xing Daorong didn't say anything, Bao Long knew that his general was starting to think of bad ideas again, so he quickly started to think about it as well.

As a result, this action actually gave him an idea.

But he said: "General! We can use the banner of Cao's army to rob and kill the grain and grass in Jiangdong, so that they will misunderstand each other and can't figure it out."

Bao Long thought his idea was very good. Although he couldn't be compared to a general, it was almost the same as joining the army.

Unfortunately, Xing Daorong did not seem to agree with his "well-thought-out" idea. He just shook his head and said, "No... let's just use our own name."

Bao Long asked in surprise: "Why is that? If you use your own flag, won't you expose yourself?"

Xing Daorong said: "Jiangdong and Cao Wei are suspicious of each other. If we use our own flag, Jiangdong will not believe it is us."

"The combination of truth and falsehood makes their suspicion even deeper."

Bao Long seemed to understand what he said, but the general was very good at reading people's hearts. All Bao Long had to do was listen, knowing that it was useless to worry about it.

The robbery and killing of the grain transport team went smoothly.

The Jiangdong people were obviously not prepared at all, and the troops led by Xing Daorong and Bao Long were like wolves and tigers. These soldiers wanted food and fodder, and they wanted revenge. When they met the food transport team, they were like hungry tigers pouncing on food.

If Xing Daorong hadn't intentionally wanted to leave some alive, he would have probably killed them all.

Bao Long was overjoyed when he saw that the matter had been accomplished, and asked, "General, shall we stay here and specialize in robbing and killing the grain team?"

Xing Daorong shook his head and said, "Today's mission is accomplished. We can no longer stay here. Now we should take a detour to another place."

Bao Long found it strange, not knowing where it was. He just heard the general was confident, so he didn't ask any more questions. He just laughed and said, "Okay, okay, let's wait for them to fight each other. It would be best if we fight to the death."

Xing Daorong also laughed: "It's not certain whether you will die or not, but it's okay to let them fight."

Xing Daorong had suffered repeated setbacks recently, and this time he finally got his revenge, which made him really happy.

...

When Xing Daorong cleared up the gloom, Lu Su's face was gloomy as he listened to the report from the soldiers who escaped back.

"Grand Governor!"

"We saw it for sure. Those who came were soldiers from Jingzhou, and the leader was Xing Daorong!"

Although the person was very sure, Lu Su did not comment. He just asked with a gloomy face: "Are you sure it is Xing Daorong?"

The Jiangdong soldier who escaped death nodded confidently and said, "Commander-in-chief, I saw it clearly. The guy holding the axe was definitely Xing Daorong."

"Hmph..." Lu Su snorted coldly, but then asked, "Have you ever seen Xing Daorong?"

The soldier was stunned and shook his head slightly, saying: "I have never seen it, but..."

I would also like to emphasize that although I have never seen Xing Daorong, the guy holding the axe must be Xing Daorong!

Unfortunately, the Grand Admiral seemed to have other thoughts.

Before he could finish, Lu Su interrupted him and said, "Okay...you can go down now. I will take care of this matter myself."

The soldier felt helpless after hearing this. He thought that this matter had nothing to do with him and that it was already difficult to survive, so he stopped insisting and left.

Seeing the people retreating, Ling Tong, who had been listening, came up and asked, "Grand Commander, that person said that Xing Daorong came to rob the food and grass. I think this is a bit strange."

Lu Su nodded and said, "I heard that the battle of Jiangling was extremely fierce. I guess Xing Daorong either died in Jiangling or returned to Xichuan long ago. How could he rob and kill the food here?"

Ling Tong nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

But he asked: "Since it can't be Xing Daorong, then who is that person?"

Lu Su said: "It must be Cao's army in Jiangling City."

When Ling Tong heard this, he immediately stood up and brandished his sword: "The Cao army is a lone army, yet they dare to be so presumptuous. Do they think they can do whatever they want just because they have given us a city?"

"Commander-in-chief, give Ling Tong 20,000 soldiers and horses. We will kill Zhang Liao and make him cry."

"Didn't Lu Xun defeat Zhang Liao in Hefei? We can also defeat him once in Jiangling!"

Lu Su didn't say anything for a while, obviously hesitant.

Lu Su has been holding a grudge over the years.

After Zhou Yu died, he was doing well as the Grand Commander, but was dismissed by Sun Quan because he disagreed to enter Jingzhou.

Although he was reinstated later, it was just a tactic of Sun Quan to weigh the pros and cons.

The grievances I have suffered... Only I know...

How could he not want the chance to prove himself today?

only…

Given the current situation, it seems that we can only think about it.

If we really send troops to Zhang Liao, the consequences will be too serious...
