Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 344: Exchange hostages?
To explain why Han Zong came back again, we have to start from when this guy escaped.

After Han Zong escaped, he naturally went towards Chaisang.

But it doesn't seem like he is alone.

Xing Daorong's night attack on the camp did not lead to the annihilation of all the Jiangdong soldiers.

Therefore, after Han Zong left the camp, he was able to gather 3,000 men in total.

Besides, the defeat in this battle was apparently due to Han Dang's failed plan and had nothing to do with Han Zong. So when he led the remaining troops to Chaisang, Sun Quan did not blame him too much, but only asked about what happened.

Han Zong avoided the main point and weakened his own influence, only talking about the fact that his father's plan was discovered.

The soldiers under his command also confirmed what Han Zong said, so Sun Quan did not have any doubts at all!
just
Knowing that Han Dang was no longer in Liu Bei's grasp, Liu Bei now had three generals in his hands, including Lu Su and Ling Tong. This could not go on!

In fact, Sun Quan had long wanted to send someone to find out Liu Bei's background. Now that Han Zong's father was arrested, it was a good excuse.

So Han Zong came here this time, firstly, with Sun Quan's order, and secondly, he could say that he came here to take a look at the situation because of his father.

This is called semi-private and semi-public, with flexible identity.

just
Sun Quan wanted Han Zong to respond flexibly and see what was going on with Liu Bei, but Han Zong was simply not flexible at all!
When he arrived in front of Liu Bei, no matter what others said, Han Zong felt numb the moment he saw Xing Daorong.

I am totally inflexible!
When he saw Liu Bei looking at him with a cold face, he felt an invisible pressure rushing towards him violently.

Liu Bei then asked, "So you are Han Dang's son. Are you here today for your father or for Sun Quan?"

The very first sentence made Han Zong's heart tremble, and he felt like his underwear was completely seen through.

He was totally at a loss for words and just stammered, not knowing what to say.

Liu Bei sneered at what he saw, but he felt that there was really no one around Sun Quan. If he had called someone, he would have called such a silly boy.

Seeing Han Zong's face full of cold sweat, Xing Daorong naturally would not miss the opportunity.

But he stepped forward and cried, "My Lord asks you, why don't you answer?"

The person Han Zong was most afraid of was Xing Daorong. When they first met, Xing Daorong put too much pressure on Han Zong!

It left a huge shadow in his heart.

When Han Zong heard Xing Daorong's question, his face changed and he felt very nervous.

He seemed to have a feeling in his heart that whether he came for his father or for Sun Quan, it seemed to have a great influence on Liu Bei's attitude.

Feeling that on one side is life and on the other side is death, Han Zong was naturally hesitant.

However, seeing how Xing Daorong was forcing him, Han Zong couldn't help but speak. He could only rely on his own inspiration and said, "Reply to the King of Hanzhong, I am here for my father."

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, Liu Bei's expression immediately improved a lot.

But he said: "It is human nature for a son to protect his father. However, the two sides are fighting today, and I cannot let your father go."

"Since you are here, you can give your father some advice and ask him not to be stubborn and rebellious."

Han Zong secretly groaned inwardly when he heard this.

If I told my father to surrender, I'm afraid he would kill me with a knife on the spot.

I really didn't dare to agree on the spot.

Seeing that Han Zong didn't say anything, Liu Bei sneered and said, "Why? Judging from your expression, I guessed wrong."

"It seems that you are not here for your father, but for Sun Quan." Han Zong naturally couldn't admit it. At the critical moment, his mind turned and he came up with an idea. He quickly responded: "King of Hanzhong, my father was captured today. As a son, I don't have any ability. I just want to save my father's life."

"Please, King of Hanzhong, just take me and return my father to me."

This Korean variety show is a good idea!
Seeing that he was captured by Liu Bei and his life was not in danger, he thought it would be better for him to exchange his father back.

In this way, he would not be in danger, but he could also protect his reputation. It would also be an explanation to Sun Quan!

But how could Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang not see through his little trick?

He immediately said: "Han Dang is Sun Quan's general. Even if you are so filial, I can't let him go!"

"I have spared his life today, which is a great favor. You must not push your luck further."

When Han Zong saw that Liu Bei did not agree, he said, "I thought too much about the King of Hanzhong. I didn't think about this when I came here."

Han Zong's mind is working pretty fast right now.

When Liu Bei refused, he said that he had not thought it through.

I thought Liu Bei couldn't force me to stay.
I thought that after hearing this, Liu Bei should let me go.

Unexpectedly, before Liu Bei could even open his mouth, Xing Daorong stepped forward and said, "Han Zong, I am deeply moved by your filial piety."

"Today I will speak for you."

When Han Zong heard that Xing Daorong wanted "enthusiastic" help, he was stunned.

Although he didn't know what Xing Daorong's idea was, he instinctively felt that there was a trap!

But I was the one who said this in the first place, and I can’t regret it now!
He just looked at Xing Daorong stupidly, not knowing what to say.

Xing Daorong didn't care about his silly expression at all, and just said: "My lord, I see that Han Zong is a filial person, why don't you keep him and send Han Dang back."

"This will also let the world know that the master knows filial piety and righteousness, which makes people admire him."

Seeing that Xing Daorong came to persuade him seriously, Liu Bei suddenly had all kinds of thoughts in his mind.

Logically speaking, Han Dang must be much more important than Han Zon.

No matter what, we can't ask Han Zong to replace Han Dang!
Xing Daorong must also know this simple truth.

Since you know this and can still say this, I guess there must be some tricks involved.

Seeing Xing Daorong's serious look, Liu Bei did not hesitate at all. Instead, he nodded slowly and said, "What Zi Yu said makes some sense."

Han Zong was a little confused when he saw that Liu Bei really agreed as soon as Xing Daorong opened his mouth.

Are Xing Daorong's words so effective?
But it can be said that he had been planning to stay with Liu Bei and wait for death, so as to avoid going to the battlefield again and encountering such a dangerous situation.

Now, he felt that the favor Xing Daorong had asked for was not very attractive.

Just as he was thinking "Alas!" and felt that Xing Daorong must have evil intentions towards him, he heard Liu Bei say, "So! I will use you to exchange for Han Dang. Don't worry, since I have spoken, I will definitely not go back on my word like the people of Jiangdong."

"I will release your father tomorrow, but you two will never see each other again. Just know that I will never lie to you!"

Han Zong never expected that the idea he came up with in an instant would actually be agreed to by Xing Daorong and Liu Bei!

I was extremely nervous, but I didn't know what Xing Daorong was thinking.
