Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 331: Lightning attack on Lukou?

As for whether to launch a surprise attack on Jiangdong, Xing Daorong thought it was up to Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang to decide for themselves, but it was obvious that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang did not think so.

After they finished speaking, they looked at Xing Daorong, obviously insisting that he give his thoughts.

Xing Daorong is not a coward either.

Seeing that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang insisted on having their own ideas, could I be timid?

He immediately said: "Those who fight must not hesitate for even a moment."

"Since we have to fight, we must have the determination to win, the will to win, and not be swayed by any form, not by any hardship or difficulty!"

"The army is here now. If we retreat, we will never be able to enter Jiangdong again. We can only move forward!"

Xing Daorong is actually a warmonger at heart.

Especially if they want to quell the chaos as soon as possible, they are even more warlike!
"Have the determination to win, the will to win!"

“Don’t be moved by any form, don’t be moved by hardship and difficulty!”

These words were extremely inspiring and made Liu Bei feel his blood boiling.

He immediately glanced at Zhuge Liang and said, "Since the three of us have no objection, let's march to Jiangdong!"

"Tomorrow I will send a letter to Lu Su, saying that I am willing to return Ling Tong to you in five days. I will take this opportunity to capture the water stronghold and advance into Jiangdong!"

When Xing Daorong heard this, he was shocked.

How come Liu Bei said yes immediately after I said yes?
Are you going to make yourself the scapegoat?
He hurriedly wanted to persuade Liu Bei, but he didn't expect Zhuge Liang to respond quickly.

"Liang obeys the order!"

He immediately ran away and went downstairs to pass on the message.

This situation made Xing Daorong a little confused.

How come this plan to launch a surprise attack on Jiangdong seemed to have been settled just with a nod from me?

Just looking at Liu Bei's smiling face, Xing Daorong realized that these two people were not asking him at all. It was obvious that they had made up their minds long ago, but they still came to ask him.

However, he had this idea, but he actually underestimated his influence.

For example, when Xing Daorong faked his death, the generals were so sad. Why?
Isn’t it said that Xing Daorong has won the hearts of the soldiers?

Therefore, Xing Daorong’s statement is actually very important.

If he hesitates, the two of them will have to convince him.

However, although Xing Daorong was so capable, Liu Bei had no intention of suppressing him. Liu Bei was the only king who could do this.

On November 5, winter of the 19th year of Jian'an, the weather was clear, with calm winds and peaceful waves.

It has been exactly six years since the last Battle of Red Cliffs.

Liu Bei was at the mouth of the Yangtze River, where he set up wine and music on a large ship and met with his generals.

The sky was getting dark, the moon was rising over the eastern mountain, as bright as day.

The area along the Yangtze River is like a horizontal silk thread.

Liu Bei sat on a large ship, with hundreds of attendants on his left and right, all of whom were wearing brocade and embroidered jackets, carrying swords and halberds.

Civil and military officials sat in order.

Seeing the picturesque scenery of Nanping Mountain, looking east to the scenery of Chaisang, west to the river of Lukou, north to Fan Mountain, south to Jing, I felt happy when I looked around and saw the vast space.

He said to all the officials: "Since I started my uprising, I have worked with the country to eliminate evil and harm. I vowed to clean up the four seas and conquer the world. The only thing I have not conquered is Jiangdong. Now I have a strong army from three states, and I rely on you to obey my orders. Why should I worry about not succeeding?"

"After conquering Jiangdong, I will go north again, defeat Cao Cao, support the country, share wealth and honor with you, and enjoy peace."

This statement is a bit like empty talk.

Xing Daorong felt as if he had returned to the time when he was a "capitalist".

As a second-generation rich man, he was somewhat familiar with the idea of ​​making promises. But before the battle, making promises was a must.

Looking around, all the civil and military officials stood up to express their gratitude, saying, "May we have a victory song soon! We all rely on the blessing of the King of Hanzhong for our entire lives."

Liu Bei was overjoyed and ordered his attendants to serve wine.

Liu Bei was a little drunk when drinking until midnight. He pointed to the east bank and said, "Sun Quan and Lu Su, you don't know the weather! Let's lead our troops and conquer Jiangdong!"

Everyone was slightly surprised when they heard this; it was rare to see Liu Bei speak his mind so frankly.

This appearance is like Cao Cao.
However, Liu Bei has been patient for many years and has never had any foundation. Today, he is preparing to attack Jiangdong, forming a north-south power and competing with Cao Cao for the world again, which has completely exposed his ambition.

Seeing the surprised faces of the crowd, Liu Bei said: "The gentlemen present here, as well as the attendants around you, are all my trusted confidants, so there is no harm in speaking to them!"

He also pointed at Lu Kou: "Jiangdong has betrayed us time and again, how foolish!"

"I am fifty-three years old this year. If I waste more time, I am afraid I will not see the day when I can support the Han Dynasty. If the battle of Lukou is successful, there is still hope. I hope you will fight hard and win merits!"

Everyone agrees!

The chorus of voices made Liu Bei feel comfortable and he burst into laughter.

As they were laughing and talking, they suddenly heard the cry of crows flying away to the east.

Seeing this, Liu Bei asked, "Why is this crow crying at night?"

The crows replied, "The crows saw the bright moon and thought it was dawn, so they left the tree and started crowing."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei held two swords in his hands, stood on the bow of the boat, poured wine into the river, drank three cups of wine, held the two swords horizontally and said to the generals: "I held these two swords, defeated the Yellow Turbans, entered Xuzhou, advanced into Jingzhou, resisted Cao Cao, fought at the Red Cliff, captured Liu Zhang, fought against the barbarians in the north, fought against the barbarians in the south, and dominated the world! I have lived up to the ambition of a real man!"

"Now, I feel very emotional about this scene. I will sing a song, and you can join me."

When Xing Daorong heard this, he was stunned as he didn't expect Liu Bei could write poetry.

But he heard her shouting: "The waves are magnificent, rolling eastward. The golden light is glittering, and the sleeves are fluttering. The mountains and rivers are picturesque, and the mountains look out to the stars. Where are you going now? On the black-sailed boat."

Xing Daorong had indeed never heard that Liu Bei could write poetry, but he did not expect that the quality of the poetry he created was so high!

Xing Daorong couldn't help but echo everyone's words, but with a different kind of heroic feeling.

After the song was over, everyone sang along and laughed joyfully.

That night, Xing Daorong was also a little drunk. Because it was the last revelry before the blitz, Xing Daorong let himself go.

When it comes to war, you have to be relaxed in moderation. You can't be tense all the time.

Even though Xing Daorong was drunk, there was always someone to take care of him.

Now that Ma Yunlu is here, naturally no one can take this task away from him.

but…

Although no one could snatch it away, Ma Yunlu still had some "helpers".

In the big tent, Xiao Qiao was also busy.

Seeing this, Ma Yunlu suddenly felt something and asked, "Madam Qiao... Zhou Lang has been dead for many years, have you ever thought about remarrying?"

Xiao Qiao was actually busy in the tent, trying to hide her discomfort.

After all, the man’s wife is around, so her status must be a bit awkward.

But Ma Yunlu is a female general, and she must be good at using spears and sticks on weekdays, so how could she take care of others?
She was really worried, so she came even though she felt uncomfortable.

I didn't expect that Ma Yunlu's words would make the whole atmosphere awkward.

Xiao Qiao looked up and saw Ma Yunlu staring at her. Her heart skipped a beat, but she didn't know what Ma Yunlu meant by asking this.

I could only respond instinctively: "Madam...I haven't thought about this yet..."

Ma Yunlu seemed not to notice the embarrassment of others, and continued: "Mrs. Qiao... I have an idea..."
