Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 360 Urgent March

What Sun Quan said was just angry.

If he really left, it would be to bring honor to Xing Daorong!
This Moling will definitely fall without a fight.

So after he finished speaking in anger and the whole place was in complete silence, Sun Quan sighed and said, "Stop talking! If you push me too far, I will surrender to Cao Cao!"

"It's just that I said it out of anger today. Last time I went to Cao Cao, I don't know why he didn't send troops. Now that things are like this, he really needs to take action to save us."

"It's just that who should I ask to go?"

When everyone heard that Sun Quan wanted to find someone to go to Cao Cao, they were silent for a while.

It’s not that I don’t want to go, it’s that I really can’t go!

It’s easy to not come back once you go!
Nowadays, most people in Jiangdong are still willing to follow Liu Bei.

Firstly, Liu Bei did have a better reputation, and secondly, Cao Cao did not gain any advantage in previous battles with Liu Bei.

Why join Cao Cao?
When Sun Quan saw that no one even said anything about this matter, the anger that he had just suppressed in his heart was about to burst out again.

But he cried, "Today! Is it so difficult for me to find a messenger?"

As soon as he finished speaking, another person stepped forward and said, "Lord Wu, I am willing to go north and ask Cao Cao to come to rescue me. If that doesn't work, I will obey your orders!"

hero!
Anyone who can resolve this embarrassing situation at this time is definitely a hero!

Gu Yong looked and found that it was another old official from Jiangdong, Lu Fan.

Lu Fan's identity is quite special. He has a very high status in Jiangdong, but firstly, he is not as famous as the two Zhangs; secondly, he is not an old minister of Sun Jian like Cheng Pu and others; thirdly, he is not from a Jiangdong family.

What's special about it is that Lu Fan had already known Sun Ce when Sun Ce was still under Yuan Shu.

He was a meritorious official who helped Sun Ce conquer the world and enter Jiangdong.

This man is considered a close relative of the Sun family and is deeply trusted by Sun Quan.

Seeing that it was him who stepped forward to respond, Sun Quan's depression was swept away, and when he heard him issuing military orders, he stood up suddenly.

But he called out: "Lord Ziheng, in this critical moment, I still have to rely on you!"

After that, he took a big seal from the table, handed it to Lu Fan and said, "This time, take my seal with you to show my appreciation."

When Lu Fan saw this, he was also shocked.

It is said that the seal was presented at the opening of the city, and this big seal is a symbol.

Giving the seal to someone else means giving all the power to someone else, which has a completely different meaning.

But Lu Fan also knew that Sun Quan was really forced into this strategy because he had no other choice.

He did not feel that Sun Quan was being absurd, but only felt that the responsibility was great. He nodded carefully and said, "Don't worry, Lord Wu. I will go through fire and water for this matter and will definitely fulfill my mission!"

Sun Quan nodded and immediately asked Lu Fan to go there.

Lu Fan immediately took the seal and left, heading straight north.

But Lu Fan didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but others thought it was ridiculous.

Previously, Sun Quan's submission to Cao Cao was known by everyone as a temporary measure.

Now that he has handed over the seal, he is truly submitting to Cao Cao!
So what is the difference between becoming a vassal of Cao Cao and surrendering to Liu Bei?
Aren't they essentially the same?
However, things have come to this point today, and Gu Yong doesn’t think there is anything else to say.

Sun Quan himself surrendered with the seal in hand. Do they have to follow Sun Quan and surrender to Cao Cao?
Since Sun Quan could do it on the first day, don't blame others for doing it on the fifteenth.

...

Seeing Sun Quan hand over the seal, Gu Yong knew that he could no longer persuade Sun Quan to surrender to Liu Bei.

After leaving the court, he wrote a letter and hurried to find Xing Daorong. The content of the letter, of course, was about Sun Quan's surrender to Cao Cao.

Tell Xing Daorong to hurry up, so as not to let the effort go to waste.

Xing Daorong received the letter, but he knew that Sun Quan was desperate and ready to do something desperate!

He immediately urged his troops to march quickly all the way to Moling.

This journey was truly a forced march.

They traveled day and night, the night was as dark as ink, the stars were sparse, and only the swaying light of torches danced in the darkness, reflecting the heavy footsteps of the marching troops and the collision of armor.

Ling Tong followed in the team, his heart was in turmoil and he felt a little bit unbelievable.

He witnessed the soldiers dragging their heavy steps but still moving forward resolutely. Everyone's face was filled with fatigue, but there was a determination glimmer in their eyes.

His eyes fell on a soldier. The man's armor was obviously stained with old blood, but he still held the spear tightly in his hand, as if the upcoming battle was the destination of all his strength.

The wind whistled the battle flag past, and the word "Xing" on the flag fluttered in the night wind, like the sound of thousands of troops galloping past.

Although Ling Tong had fought against Xing Daorong before and knew that Xing Daorong was a good leader, the feeling of being just a member of this team was still quite different.

This forced march was like a strong wind, seemingly sweeping away everything.

After several days of rapid march, no one complained of being tired, as everyone was running for their lives.

This strong army
No wonder Sun Quan was defeated.

Thinking this way, Xing Daorong either did not leave the military camp or left it at an extremely fast speed!
Xing Daorong took the lead himself and was tireless.

When they were halfway through the journey that day and were about to stop by the camp to rest for half a day, they saw a man suddenly running out on the road.

The soldiers arrested him and brought him before Xing Daorong.

Xing Daorong took a look and saw that this was Zhuge Jin!
He immediately let go of the man and said, "Brother Ziyu! Why are you here?"

Zhuge Jin's face was not very good, and he said awkwardly: "General Xing, I came to see you today because I really have no backbone."

When Xing Daorong saw this, he wondered why Zhuge Jin felt guilty right away!

He immediately stepped forward and comforted him: "Brother Ziyu! What are you talking about!"

"How can you blame me for this? This is the Sun family's business."

Having said that, he pulled the person into the tent and comforted him for a while.

He immediately asked about the situation in Moling.

Since Zhuge Jin came, it was naturally because he felt that Jiangdong was in trouble, and he came here to tell the truth.

But he said: "General Xing, you don't know that Sun Quan has already given the seal to Cao Cao. If we don't hurry up, I'm afraid there will be civil unrest."

Xing Daorong had naturally received the news about Gu Yong a long time ago, and by the time Zhuge Jin arrived, it would be too late.

Zhuge Jin certainly has the ability, but he lacks the spirit of adventure. In fact, I had already advised him to abandon Sun Quan earlier, but he did not take action until today, and he had actually missed the opportunity.

Now, although he has the help of Zhuge Liang, his status is basically not as good as it was in Jiangdong.

It is better to do this as early as possible, otherwise it will be forgotten by the crowd.

But since he came here with good intentions, Xing Daorong said, "Don't worry, I have already made plans for this matter. It is because I got the news that I marched day and night to come here."

Zhuge Jin nodded slightly after hearing this.

But he said: "That's good. As long as the general goes to Moling, I think there will be people to open the city."
