Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 381 Urgent news: Cao Cao’s death!
In the Battle of Shanyue, Xing Daorong really didn't need to use a single soldier, he just relied on his eloquence!
How many people go, how many people come back!

Who has ever seen such a scene?
Where have I ever seen a war without any casualties?

This is simply a miracle!
The common people of Jiangdong had indeed never seen such a scene. When they heard the report from the army that indeed no one had died, they were all a little confused.

After waiting for confirmation, everyone cheered.

However, they all praised Xing Daorong as a military god who had descended to earth. Otherwise, how could there not be any casualties?
However, while the people of Jiangdong were extremely happy, the entire Sun family was in a state of dead silence...

The reason...

But it was because Sun Yu died.

That’s right, ever since Sun Yu fainted due to being angered by Bu Zhi when Xing Daorong went on the expedition, he has been in bad shape.

However, three days later, Xing Daorong had not yet killed Dong Xi, and Sun Yu himself was no longer able to do it.

Now it has been more than half a month since his death, so naturally the Sun family is dead silent.

Although Sun Yu's health was not good, no one expected that he would die so soon. The reason for this, after all, was because of his contact with Xing Daorong.

No matter how much Sun Yu's death is related to Xing Daorong, it is definitely related to Xing Daorong.

What’s more crucial is that Xing Daorong’s killings were truly invisible.

As for Sun Yu's death, except for the Sun family members who knew that Xing Daorong was involved, no one else felt anything.

After that, when people from the Sun family talked about Xing Daorong, they all spoke of him as if he were the god of plague. No one dared to have any thoughts about Xing Daorong anymore.

After the Sun family became completely quiet, the entire Jiangdong region became completely peaceful.

Xing Daorong didn't need to care about the news of Sun Yu's death, but the more shocking news of death coming from the north forced him to take care of it!
Cao Cao, the King of Wei in the Han Dynasty, died in Wancheng a month ago!

However, this news had been suppressed by Cao Pi, and it was not until some time later that Liu Bei got the news that the enemy was clearly outside Xiangfan.

After Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi naturally inherited the throne of King of Wei, but the next second after the succession, he asked Cao Zhi to go to Yecheng as soon as possible.

Cao Zhi refused and just stayed in Hefei.

The North looks like it's on the verge of civil strife, and the situation is tense and much more unstable than in the South.

When Xing Daorong received the news, he heard that Cao Pi's army had already set out for Hefei.

Cao Cao is dead!

Although Xing Daorong had been mentally prepared, when the news of the death of the great hero Cao Cao really came, Xing Daorong still felt a lot of regrets in his heart.

"It was the beginning of a heroic and devoted life, and the beginning of a difficult and arduous career. His brilliant words were passed down through the Yuefu, and his wonderful strategies were published in new books. Although he had made achievements in the battle for supremacy, his plan to hide his boats was already unclear. Once the tent is empty, what will happen to his beloved son?"

Although Cao Cao has many black spots, there are still some bright spots in his humanity.

At least when he was young, Cao Cao was actually very admirable.

"Cao Cao, the great Han escort cavalry captain."

"I heard that Cao Cao only described himself as a Han minister on his tombstone."

"However, things in the world cannot be determined by one's heart. When Cao Cao was a lieutenant, he never thought that he would become king, let alone that his son would end the 400-year-old Han Dynasty with his own hands."

Xing Daorong was indeed feeling a little emotional. He sat on the main seat in the main hall of Moling City, facing the people in the hall, but he never spoke a word.

Seeing this, Gu Yong thought Xing Daorong was considering whether to send troops to the north. After thinking for a while, he took the initiative to step forward and said, "General, Cao Cao has died of illness. The news has been confirmed. There will definitely be chaos in the north."

"But if we want to send troops, we have to report it to Chengdu first."

Gu Yong thought that Xing Daorong's consideration of the Northern Expedition was normal. However, after Xing Daorong knew that Cao Cao was dead, he was not in a hurry at all.

Although Cao Pi is not bad, he is far inferior to Cao Cao.

As long as Liu Bei can hold on for a few more years, the Northern Expedition will surely be quelled!

So he immediately said: "Yuan Tan's thinking is not wrong, but the two sons of the Yuan family were fighting before us the day before yesterday, and the Cao family is fighting today, why should we be anxious?"

"Let them decide who is better between the two of them first."

Gu Yong nodded after hearing this.

Naturally, Gu Yong is not good at dealing with foreign wars, so it would be right to listen to Xing Daorong's advice!

Zhuge Jin said, "Since Cao Cao is dead, we can go and pay tribute to him in name only, but actually go and test him a little."

Xing Daorong added: "The Lord will take care of this matter. I am not worried about this right now."

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this, waiting for Xing Daorong to speak.

Xing Daorong stood up, asked someone to push in a sand table, pointed to the middle and said to everyone: "Look, Hefei is close to Jiangdong. Now Cao Pi's army is heading to Hefei. On the surface, it is a fight between brothers. However, if they take Hefei and go down to Jiangdong, a big battle is coming."

Everyone nodded when they saw this.

Bao Long said again: "General, you are right. Cao Pi must have this in mind!"

"We must prepare well and not let Cao Pi steal the city."

Bao Long is feeling a bit traumatized by the theft caused by Jiang Dong.

If we really want to launch a sneak attack, it won't be that easy.

It was just that Liu Bei had always been allied with Jiangdong, so he let down his guard and became a little lax, which led to repeated surprise attacks from Jiangdong.

Facing Cao Cao, they were on high alert, so how could they be ambushed?

However, Xing Daorong felt that this matter should be handled with caution. Logically speaking, Cao Pi had just ascended the throne, and it was only natural for his troops to come and kill Cao Zhi.

But Hefei's geography is still somewhat dangerous as it is too close to Jiangdong.

Besides
When Xing Daorong was in Jiangdong, he began to understand Sun Quan's difficulties.

It is really difficult to leave this Jiangdong area!
Once the entrance to Huaixi is blocked, there will be no way out.

The place of Hefei was a dead end for Sun Quan in the past, and now it is a dead end for Xing Daorong.

It would be best if he could take advantage of the situation when Cao Pi sent his troops to attack Cao Zhi and directly seize Hefei.

However, Xing Daorong did not discuss this idea with anyone else.

These people in Jiangdong are good at internal affairs, but they are still a little lacking in strategy.

Is Lu Xun the only one who can carry the banner now?
Xing Daorong glanced at Lu Boyan who was standing silently beside him, but thought to himself that this guy probably hasn't recovered from the previous defeat yet.

This is no wonder, after all, Lu Xun is still young.

As a young man, facing such a huge ups and downs from being the governor of Jiangdong to a surrendered general, his mind is bound to be a little up and down.

Xing Daorong took a look and said, "Boyan, come here."

Lu Xun was startled when he heard this. He hurriedly took two steps forward, bowed and said, "General, what can I do for you?"
