Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 33 The General is alive again!
Xing Daorong is back alive!
When this news was passed back to Jiangling from the mouth of the Jingzhou River, the person who was most happy was Liu Bei.

Upon hearing the news, Liu Bei, who was discussing matters with Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, immediately stopped discussing the matter and grabbed Xiang Lang, the messenger, and asked, "Is the news true? Is General Xing really back?"

Xiang Lang was startled and said quickly: "My lord, this is absolutely true. News has come from Jiangkou that Generals Chen Ying and Bao Long are escorting General Xing all the way to Jiangling."

"Good! Good! Good!" Liu Bei shouted three times and quickly called Zhuge Liang, "That's great, Zi Yu is fine!"

Zhuge Liang was also delighted.

Although Xing Daorong once called him "Zhuge Countryman", Xing Daorong's style of doing things was deeply loved by Zhuge Liang.

Not to mention that he was so loyal to the Han Dynasty.

He also stood up and said with a smile: "My lord, this is really God's blessing on the great man. I think we should make some good arrangements to welcome him and also to get rid of the bad luck for the general."

Liu Bei was very pleased to hear this and asked Xiang Lang to make good arrangements.

Pang Tong was not very familiar with Xing Daorong.

When Liu Bei attacked Jingnan, he stayed in Nanjun.

After Xing Daorong came back, the two of them didn't talk much and only met a few times.

But although the people are not very familiar, the things are very familiar.

It's a pity to hear that he was trapped in Jiangdong.

Hearing that he could come back, I couldn't believe it for a moment.

"Can one person stop the Jiangdong pursuers and come back?"

"how is this possible?"

Pang Tong subconsciously felt that this matter was a little strange, but seeing that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang trusted Xing Daorong so much, he thought that it couldn't be that the Eastern Wu had sent him as a spy.

So he suppressed this fleeting thought.

...

When Xing Daorong returned to Jiangling, he was indeed shocked by the scene before him.

Liu Bei led Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, a group of backbone members, waiting for him.

Even Huang Zhong from Lingling, who had somehow gotten the news, was also here.

Xing Daorong felt a little embarrassed to see such a large number of people being mobilized. He couldn't afford to be in such a scene without taking any lives.

In comparison, Chen Ying and Bao Long were obviously much more adaptable. They followed Xing Daorong with their heads held high and proud looks on their faces.

It has a sense of shared success.

Walking up to Liu Bei, Xing Daorong was about to bow, but Zhang Fei interrupted him and said, "Brother, you killed all those Wu villains without leaving a single piece of armor. Why are you coming back now?"

It is quite difficult to get Zhang Fei to call you a good brother.

Apart from his two brothers, the only person Zhang Fei could call his brother was probably Zhao Yun.

Now that Xing Daorong is addressed like this, it seems that his heroic act of cutting off the enemy's retreat is also highly recognized.

but…

"General Zhang, to be honest, I was unable to kill even a single person from Jiangdong during this time as the rear guard." Xing Daorong did not exaggerate his achievements.

Guan Yu said, "We are surrounded and it is not easy to break out of the encirclement. It doesn't matter how many bandits we kill."

When Xing Daorong heard that Guan Yu was talking to him, he was quite moved.

But...he didn't do anything to break out of the siege!
He couldn't help but shake his head and said, "General Guan, I didn't get out by killing people, I was released."

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned, and the atmosphere suddenly cooled down from its heated state.

Zhuge Liang suddenly stepped forward and said, "It seems that Ziyu relied on his eloquence to persuade the Eastern Wu to let you return."

"No matter what, I will definitely credit you for protecting my master this time." Liu Bei nodded after hearing this, and then he stepped forward and pulled Xing Daorong towards the mansion. As they walked, he looked him up and down and asked, "Zi Yu, do you have any new injuries?"

Liu Bei was still serious in his words.

Knowing that Xing Daorong had an old injury in the corridor of Dongwu, he asked this question.

"I was stabbed twice, but it's not a big deal." Xing Daorong could feel that after he replied to Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, some people's opinions of him seemed to have changed.

But Liu Bei had unreserved trust in himself and had no doubt at all about how he escaped.

When he heard that he had been stabbed twice, he immediately ordered the person beside him, "Juda, go get a doctor!"

Xiang Lang was about to go, but he saw Zhuge Liang standing beside him and said, "No need to bother with Juda, I will go on my own."

Having said that, he actually went to ask for the doctor in person.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang's actions clearly showed that they valued and loved Xing Daorong very much, which also made other people who had ulterior motives hide those thoughts immediately.

Xing Daorong became famous too quickly. Not to mention that he will be envied by others, the "spotlight" will be on him more or less.

Since Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang both expressed their opinions in this way, even if one had some thoughts on this, he would suppress them to avoid boring himself.

Seeing that Xing Daorong was injured, Liu Bei didn't want to hold a grand reception for him, and wanted to let him recuperate first.

However, Zhang Fei seemed to be very interested in the story of how he stayed behind and insisted on pulling him aside to talk about it in detail.

With Zhang Fei taking the lead, others immediately started asking questions. Seeing that everyone was interested, Liu Bei saw that Xing Daorong was in good condition, so he followed them.

Xing Daorong was still good at telling stories, and he exaggerated a little bit at this moment: "The two generals who caught up were Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin. When I saw them chasing us, I didn't want to kill them, I just wanted to delay them for a while."

"Then Jiang Qin came first, and I knocked him off his horse with a few moves."

"Just when I was about to take his life, Zhou Tai raised his knife to block it. I tried my best to resist, but I was no match for him. It seemed that I was going to lose my life in the land of Dongwu!"

As he spoke, Xing Daorong also sighed heavily: "Since the Han Dynasty was in danger, although I was in Jingzhou, I always thought about supporting the Han Dynasty with my sword and gun. Even if I die on the battlefield, my life will not be in vain."

"When they were no match for Zhou Tai, they never even thought about surrendering."

Guan Yu listened and nodded slightly, saying, "Living towards death, that's all."

Zhang Fei glared and said, "That Sun guy is so shameless. He asked my elder brother to go to the marriage alliance, but he did such a despicable thing! Fortunately, my brother Ziyu fought to the death to cover our retreat, so we were able to return to Jingzhou."

Huang Zhong reacted the most, he stood up and bowed, saying: "I should learn from your spirit, General."

Xing Daorong also stood up immediately, supported Huang Zhong and said, "A man who lives in the world doing nothing is no different from a dead tree or rotten grass. Even if he dies, he must die for a good cause!"

Then he turned around and looked at everyone and said, "Everyone has to die, some are lighter than a feather, some are heavier than Mount Tai."

"My lord is a descendant of the imperial family, a peerless hero. He is the heir of the orthodox lineage, and a great historian."

"If I really died fighting for my lord in Jiangdong, it would be more important than Mount Tai, but it would be recorded in history books, but it would only serve to gain fame."

"As long as the lord is safe and the Han Dynasty is supported, there is hope!"

Pang Tong, who was listening, finally understood why Xing Daorong was so valued by Liu Bei. It was clearly his own contribution, but he praised Liu Bei while speaking.

Thinking of this, Xing Daorong continued, "Later, I couldn't stand the constant fighting of the Eastern Wu. My strength gradually ran out, and my eyes went dark. I didn't know anything."

"After I woke up, I was in an ordinary family's home. I left all my money to them and then returned to Jingzhou."

Liu Bei listened and said, "So it seems that you were rescued by someone, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin from the Eastern Wu, who released you back."

"No matter what, this time it's all thanks to the general!"

Everyone echoed and praised Xing Daorong's heroism and fearlessness.

Especially Zhang Fei, he wished he had done this himself. He sighed deeply and said that this matter would surely become famous all over the world.

As for Xing Daorong, he also wondered whether Zhou Tai and the other man would be punished for letting him go. However, although he was a little worried about these two brothers, this was not the focus at the moment.

Now the land of Jingzhou is not enough to be a base, how to advance to Xichuan is the real matter.
