Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 356 Jiangdong Family
Xing Daorong wondered whether Cao Pi would force Liu Xie to abdicate, which was actually quite important.

He really didn't know what Liu Bei would do when facing Liu Xie if Cao Pi refused to abdicate.

This matter was far away in the past, so Xing Daorong would only think about it occasionally and not give it much thought.

Now, if Sun Quan is defeated and the conflict between the North and the South arises, then this matter can be put on the agenda.

However, Xing Daorong only thought about this matter in his mind and said that it must not be told.

Come to think of it...

In fact, Liu Bei himself would also consider this.

Compared to Xing Daorong's headache about whether Cao Pi would force Liu Xie to abdicate, the Jiangdong families were worried about something more urgent!

When the news came that Sun Quan had retreated to Moling after the defeat at Chaisang, everyone knew that it was time to find a way out!
but…

Some of the noble families are still quite stable in their emotions.

For example...the Gu and Lu families.

...

Wu County.

At the Gu family's hometown, Gu Yong and Lu Ji are gathered together, talking about the war ahead...

"Brother Gongji..."

"Do you know about the defeat at Chaisang?"

Gu Yong's question is actually nonsense.

Who wouldn’t know about such an important matter as Chaisang?
The entire future of Jiangdong actually lies in the battle of Chaisang. Who doesn’t know that?

However, Lu Ji knew that this was just Gu Yong's opening remarks, so he naturally responded, "Of course I know. Now that Chaisang has been defeated, we should prepare ourselves."

Gu Yong heard this and said quickly: "That's exactly what I meant. I invited Brother Gongji to come here because I wanted to talk about this..."

Lu Ji said: "It doesn't matter. Sun Quan's defeat is certain, so we should make plans early."

"But... we still have to find old friends first..."

Find old friends...

The person this old friend was referring to was naturally Xing Daorong!
Gu Yong said: "So we're going to look for our old friend directly?"

Lu Ji shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate. At this time, we should not show up. If we go too far, Sun Quan will be desperate."

"When this guy gets mad, he can do anything."

Gu Yong deeply agreed with this.

really…

When this guy gets mad, he can really do anything.

It is very likely that Sun Quan is half-crazy at the moment, so it is better not to show up.

But if he didn't show up, how could he get in touch with Xing Daorong?
Just when I was feeling that it was a bit troublesome, I heard that Lu Ji already had an idea.

But he said: "For this matter, we should find a confidant."

Gu Yong worriedly said, "Although my confidant is loyal, I'm afraid he may not be wise enough to explain it to General Xing..."

Lu Ji said, "Don't worry for now, wait and see who I call over."

As he spoke, a man came in.

When Gu Yong took a look, it turned out to be Bu Zhi.

He couldn't help but stand up and ask, "Zishan, why are you here?"

Bu Zhi, whose courtesy name was Zishan, was a native of Linhuai, Xuzhou. In his early years, he moved to Jiangdong to avoid the chaos and served as Sun Quan's chief clerk. Later, he served as the chief of Haiyan, and also served as the Eastern Cao official of the General of Chariots and Cavalry and the governor of Xuzhou.

In the 15th year of Jian'an, he was appointed as the prefect of Poyang, and was soon transferred to be the governor of Jiaozhou and the general of Wuzhonglang.

According to his background, he was not from a Jiangdong family, and had no connection with them. So when Gu Yong saw Bu Zhi, he was also surprised.

However, Bu Zhi bowed to Gu Yong and said, "I came here uninvited, so I am sorry to bother you."

Lu Ji said hurriedly: "Zifang is the candidate to find General Xing. He is not from Jiangdong family, not noticed by Sun Quan, and has no dealings with us, so he will not arouse suspicion."

Gu Yong's face changed when he heard this.

It is true that Bu Zhi has no contact with his side, but precisely because of this, it is strange how he got in touch with Lu Ji.

"Could it be that... seeing that Sun Quan was about to fail, he surrendered early?"

Gu Yong thought this was possible, but he felt a little contemptuous of Bu Zhi's integrity...

However, Lu Ji's words soon dispelled Gu Yong's contempt.

But Lu Ji said: "Mr. Yuan Tan, you don't know that Sun Quan came back to Moling, and he didn't do anything else, but he asked to marry the daughter of the Bu family... Bu Lianshi..."

Gu Yong is also an old hand, and he knew what was going on as soon as he heard it.

This so-called seeking is nothing more than tying up the Bu family.

If Chaisang had not been defeated, they would have just tied him up. However, today Chaisang was defeated and Sun Quan's ship was about to capsize. If they still tied him up, wouldn't the Bu family be buried with him?
No wonder Bu Zhi had such a big reaction. He came directly to Lu Ji and was even more willing to take the risk and go find Xing Daorong.

I was forced to do it!
After understanding it, Gu Yong's expression immediately became much friendlier. He sighed, pulled Bu Zhi over and said, "So Zifang has suffered such injustice. Alas... Marquis Wu is a bit too much."

Bu Zhi bowed and said, "There is no need to mention the Marquis Wu. Gong Ji has already explained today's matter to me."

"I will set off immediately to find General Xing..."

When Bu Zhi took the lead, Gu Yong naturally felt relieved.

Although I am not familiar with it, I still know its abilities.

He also folded his hands and said: "It's all up to you..."

After saying this, they talked about some recent events in Moling.

In fact, there was nothing serious. It was just that Sun Quan wanted each family to send troops to resist Liu Bei.

only…

Now that things have come to this, who can help out?
Naturally, everyone will hold back their energy and wait and see how things develop.

...

Xing Daorong actually thought that the Jiangdong family would come to find him. After all, they had a good relationship before. They had been in contact for such a long time, wasn’t it just for today?
So someone will definitely come from Jiangdong.

Xing Daorong knew it well, but he was still a little surprised when he saw Bu Zhi.

This step...

There really has been no contact between the two of them.

But since you are here, you are all guests.

Besides, Zhuge Liang has also said that the Jiangdong noble families are all targets for winning over, no matter whether they come for himself or on behalf of the Jiangdong noble families.

But he pulled Bu Zhi and said, "Brother Zifang, I have heard of your great name for a long time..."

That was the first time Bu Zhi saw Xing Daorong.

He had never been to the battlefield, so he rarely had the opportunity to see Xing Daorong. Besides, when Xing Daorong accompanied Liu Bei to get married, he was not in Moling, so he never had the chance to meet him.

When I met Xing Daorong at this moment, I felt that he really lived up to his reputation!
A overwhelming heroic spirit...was coming straight towards Bu Zhi!
Xing Daorong knew how Bu Zhi felt and he would surely laugh out loud.

Whatever heroism and domineering spirit are mentioned, they are ultimately brought about by fame and status.

It’s like if “Papa Ma” didn’t have that status, he would just be an ordinary person standing among the crowd.

However, Bu Zhi did feel the "heroic spirit" at the moment, and said with some admiration: "General Xing! I have heard of your great name for a long time, and seeing you today, you are indeed a hero."

"I came here today on behalf of Lord Yuan Tan, and I have something to say to the general..."
