Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 322 Nemesis
After Zhuge Liang finished speaking to Guan Yu, he turned to Bao Long and said, "General Bao Long, I'll have to trouble you for a while."

Bao Long said hurriedly: "Just follow the military advisor's orders!"

Zhuge Liang said, "Go find General Ziyu and make him feel wronged for a while, and then pretend to be dead."

Bao Long is quite familiar with this matter.

During the battle to enter Sichuan, Xing Daorong had faked his death once before, and he knew that faking death was to lure the enemy, so he immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, military advisor. I am very familiar with this."

"It would be best if we could make some preparations and wear white so that people would think something has happened to General Xing."

Zhuge Liang laughed and said, "That's exactly what I was planning. It's just that there are many taboos about faking my death. Please bear with me, Ziyu."

No matter what year it is, pretending to be dead is still somewhat taboo.

It is normal for Zhuge Liang to say so.

Bao Long said, "Military advisor, rest assured. The general is dedicated to pacifying the world as soon as possible and cares about the people. He will not take this taboo to heart."

Bao Long has been with Xing Daorong for so many years, so he naturally knows it clearly.

Zhuge Liang made some arrangements. On the one hand, he kept the surrendered soldiers and appeased them, and on the other hand, he ordered Guan Yu to lead his troops to attack Cao Cao's camp.

However, Guan Yu is a veteran of the battlefield and does have some acting skills.

The swift killing that day surprised Cao Cao, but he soon discovered that the enemy was weak inside and looked fierce, but in fact they had no deadly moves.

Just relying on a burst of courage.

Liu Bei reacted quickly and became a little anxious.

After defeating Guan Yu, he urgently summoned the messenger officer to the camp to ask questions.

Cao Cao seemed to be in good spirits during his trip south, and he had not been suffering from headaches recently.

Now that Guan Yu had been defeated, he asked in high spirits, "Any news about General Zhang?"

The messenger bowed and said, "Yes! General Zhang sent a letter through Jiangdong a few days ago, saying that he had captured Jiangling City and would send troops north to Xiangyang in a few days!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, and slammed the table and said, "Since Jiangling has been lost, they must have come to attack Xiangfan."

"That's why Guan Yu was so anxious to attack!"

Jia Xu said, "King Wei, you should be more cautious. You can go to Liu's camp to inquire, but don't act rashly."

Cao Cao knew that this battle was related to the entire Central Plains situation. Seeing Jia Xu being so cautious, he also responded: "Okay, let's send scouts to explore the situation of Liu Jun's camp."

Upon hearing this, Jia Xu said, "King Wei, can you show me Wenyuan's letter?"

Cao Cao naturally responded.

When Jia Xu opened it, he saw that what was written in the letter was just as the messenger had said, that they had already captured Jiangling and were preparing to march north to meet Cao Cao's army.

just
This letter did not mention a single word about the massacre.

Of course, Jia Xu also knew that the massacre was against the will of heaven, so it was understandable that Zhang Liao was unwilling to elaborate.

However, when he came up with this plan, he repeatedly stated that massacring the city was the top priority.

I think Cao Cao would definitely give him some advice.
Zhang Liao should have something to say
"If you don't say anything like this, I don't know whether you did it or not."

Jia Xu thought for a while, but his face showed no hesitation, nor did he tell Cao Cao about his doubts. He just handed the letter back to Cao Cao calmly and said: "General Zhang will definitely fight to the death. If he returns victorious, there will be a great reward."

Cao Cao was about to nod when he heard Jia Xu say, "Especially for the massacre in the city, I think General Zhang must have shouldered a lot of responsibility."

Jia Xu's words seemed to be just a casual remark, but Cao Cao's heart suddenly paused. He opened the letter again and frowned.

Although he didn't say anything, he was thinking of something in his mind.

"Why didn't Zhang Liao mention the massacre in his letter?" But on second thought, it was reasonable for Zhang Liao not to mention it. After all, this was not a glorious thing and it was indeed difficult to write about it in a letter.

If there were any changes, they would probably be mentioned in the letter. Since they are not mentioned now, it means everything is going well.

Cao Cao's scouts were very efficient and brought back news very quickly.

"King of Wei, there was nothing major happening in Liu Bei's camp. There were just some rumors that a sacrifice was being held in Xiangyang, and Zhuge Liang personally returned to Xiangyang, but I don't know who they were sacrificing to."

The real and the fake is exactly what Zhuge Liang uses.

When Cao Cao heard that Zhuge Liang was going to Xiangyang to pay homage, he was suddenly shocked.

He quickly reacted and thought to himself, "The person who can ask Zhuge Liang to pay homage must be an important person."

Then a thought popped up in his mind: "Could it be that Xing Daorong is dead?"

But as soon as this thought came to my mind, I quickly realized that it was unlikely.

If Xing Daorong had died in Jiangling City, Zhang Liao would certainly have mentioned it in his letter. How could he not say a word about it?

But if Xing Daorong really died in the battle, it would definitely have an impact on the war situation. However, Zhuge Liang was cunning and scheming. Although Guan Yu's actions also confirmed that it was very likely that Xing Daorong had an accident, it was not certain what happened.

At critical moments, you naturally have to ask for advice from your think tank.

However, when Jia Xu heard Cao Cao's thoughts, his face, which usually had no expression, suddenly became solemn.

He actually frowned and said, "King Wei, you must not have such thoughts!"

"Let's not talk about whether Zhuge Liang would reveal the news if he really got the news of Xing Daorong's death. It's not that easy for Xing Daorong to die."

"If he died in the city, Zhang Liao would have mentioned it in his letter. If he didn't die in the city and walked out, how could he have died?"

"This must be a trick of Zhuge Liang!"

Cao Cao nodded slightly after hearing this, but he didn't want to give up this information in his heart.

At this moment, he thought to himself: "What Wenhe said does make some sense. If Xing Daorong really died, with the army ahead, Zhuge Liang would definitely keep the death a secret."

As I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt a piercing pain drilling into my head!

The pain was unbearable, and even Cao Cao couldn't help showing a painful expression.

Jia Xu took one look and quickly stepped forward and said, "King Wei, don't think too much. The current situation is just right, so don't worry."

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "It's okay. I have been traveling south for so long and this headache has only come back today!"

"It's just that when I thought about Xing Daorong today, I suddenly felt a little painful."

When Jia Xu heard this, an idea came to his mind.

It seemed that Xing Daorong was the nemesis of Cao Wei. Xiahou Yuan and Xu Chu both died because of him. The King of Wei got a headache whenever he thought of him!

Although Jia Xu was not a superstitious person, this thing was too mysterious and Jia Xu couldn't help but keep it in mind.

Always felt.
Ever since Xing Daorong appeared, the destiny is no longer on the Cao family's side.

The King of Wei got a headache whenever he thought of this guy!

However, Jia Xu could only keep these superstitious words in his heart.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Cao Cao say, "Go and get the news from Xiangyang again. If Xing Daorong is dead, it will be a great opportunity to retake Xiangfan!"

When Jia Xu heard that Cao Cao was still thinking about Xing Daorong's death, he secretly thought that something was wrong.

Just seeing Cao Cao frowning, he didn't say anything more and just gave the order.
