Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 384: Bao Long, Back to His Old Business

Zhang Liao actually regretted it after he asked this question.

He is a bound general, worrying about who will inherit and what to do!
However, words once spoken cannot be taken away.

It's no use pretending that I haven't said this.

But what no one expected was that Cao Pi and Cao Zhi actually fought.

"Could it be that the Cao family has also split up?"

Zhang Liao thought this way because Xing Daorong deliberately did not explain it clearly.

In fact, Cao Zhi in Hefei was isolated and helpless, and no one from the Cao family followed him at all. But when Xing Daorong said that Cao Pi's army had gone, some people really thought that the Cao family was divided.

Zhang Liao sighed and said, "Prince Pi is the oldest, so his succession is naturally good, but I don't know how this situation could happen."

Xing Daorong understood the meaning of the music and said, "People in the world have different aspirations, so naturally they think and act differently."

"But... Wenyuan, the Cao family is in such a state of strife, I think it will be destroyed in one or two years rather than ten years."

"If Wenyuan continues to waste his time, he will have no time to realize his ambitions."

As he was talking, Xing Daorong couldn't help but persuade him again.

Although Liu Bei now has many generals, Zhang Liao is still more important, so Xing Daorong couldn't help but persuade him.

But this time Zhang Liao didn't find an excuse.

It seems that the fight between the two Caos also had some impact on him.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xing Daorong didn't say much, but just winked at Zhou Tai.

Zhou Tai is a tough guy, but he is actually quite smart. We can tell from the fact that he let Xing Daorong go that year that he is not a rigid person.

I drank a lot at this moment, but my mind is very clear.

He immediately understood Xing Daorong's look and said, "General Zhang... don't think too much. Just stay in a certain mansion and when you can figure it out... you will naturally figure it out."

Zhang Liao nodded gloomily.

However, he never thought about how long he could last living in Zhou Tai's mansion, with all the instigation in his ears.

I'm afraid I can't hold on for much longer.

...

Now that Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin have arrived, Xing Daorong doesn't have to worry too much about the navy.

The key right now is the collection of intelligence.

Sun Quan and Cao Zhi were in Hefei, and Cao Pi's army was also there. The focus of the entire world's struggle was in Hefei!
However, the intelligence was not collected efficiently.

The scouts sent out by Xing Daorong could not even get close to the city.

Sun Quan and Cao Zhi joined forces to fortify the city and clear the fields. Anyone who approached alone, regardless of whether they were civilians or merchants, would be captured and taken to the city for careful interrogation.

If you can't catch him, just shoot him to death.

In short, it is one that cannot be missed!
None of the scouts Xing Daorong sent out have returned...

This made Xing Daorong quite annoyed.

Without intelligence, it would be like being blinded, and Xing Daorong didn't know if he would have a chance to fish in troubled waters.

Bao Long knew Xing Daorong's concerns, but he volunteered, "General, I'd better go and investigate."

“I just used a local to guide me…”

Bao Long was born a hunter, so he does have some ability to survive in the wild, but he is also a general today, so asking him to do the work of a scout is a bit of a waste of his talent.

Xing Daorong listened and shook his head, saying, "No... This is dangerous, just send the scouts."

When Bao Long heard this, he was unhappy.

He just shouted: "So what if it's dangerous? When we go to the battlefield, it's always dangerous."

"Besides... I can't compare to other ordinary scouts, but I am much more capable than them."

"The situation in Hefei must be thoroughly investigated. No mistakes can be made!"

"General, just let me go. Have you forgotten that I discovered Yu Jin's plan when we were in Guanzhong?"

Well... seeing that Bao Long told him about his glorious history, Xing Daorong also knew that he was determined to leave.

If I refuse again, it would be a bit disrespectful.

He responded immediately and asked Bao Long to go.

...

In fact, there are only two ways for scouts to collect intelligence.

One is to look for yourself, the other is to catch one or two lone people and ask them.

This person can be the enemy's soldier, scout, or ordinary people.

In fact, the common people are not stupid. They probably know how many troops there are and who is leading them as long as they pass through their area.

But the problem is...

There are really no ordinary people’s homes around Hefei!

As mentioned earlier, when Cao Cao faced repeated threats to Hefei, he relocated many of the people.

This is also the reason why Hefei doesn’t let any place go…

To put it bluntly, there can be no other characters nearby except the enemy...

It’s impossible that anyone would defect to Hefei at this time!
This is no different from joining the National Army in 1949.

However, Bao Long felt that this was a bit troublesome, so since he could not find out the news about Hefei, he planned to find out the news about Cao's army.

It would be good to find out how many people are coming.

I sneaked all the way to the Cao army camp, but I only saw a flag with the word "Cao" on it, and no other flags.

I was secretly puzzled...I wondered if Cao Pi had sent troops himself.

Gathering intelligence... It is also important to know who the enemy general is. If Cao Pi really goes to the battle personally, it will also be an important matter.

Thinking of this, Bao Long took a risk and moved closer to Cao's army.

But not all Cao's soldiers were fools. Although Bao Long took such a risk and found out who the commander of Cao's army was, he was also completely discovered.

With his pursuers behind him, Bao Long headed straight into the woods.

Cao's troops followed him around like a shadow. Arrows rained down, cutting through the air and aiming directly at Bao Long's vital points.

Bao Long cursed in his heart: "Damn it... Who is this Cao Zhen? There are so many people patrolling outside. I am afraid that my life will be lost here..."

Bao Long ran away while cursing, knowing that something was wrong, and galloped on his horse, trying to get rid of the pursuers behind him.

Cao's army was chasing closely behind, pressing forward step by step. The leading general waved his spear and commanded the soldiers to pursue relentlessly.

The sound of horse hooves and the clashing of armors were intertwined and deafening.

Although Bao Long was brave, he was fighting alone and gradually felt overwhelmed.

There were many dangers along the way, and Bao Long was nearly captured several times. He managed to dodge and escape with his extraordinary skills, and barely saved his life. However, Cao's army was in hot pursuit, and the situation became increasingly critical.

"not good!"

"At this rate, there's really no way we can get away!"

Bao Long cursed in his heart. It was not that he was afraid of death, but he was not happy that he could not send the news back to Moling and died in vain.

At this moment, he made up his mind and thought to himself: "Since I can't escape, I can only hide."

Bao Long has grown a lot at this age, and he made a decision immediately at this critical moment.

But he turned around, dismounted, and galloped away towards the man who was afraid that his butt would be stabbed.

He whispered softly, "Old buddy... I have no choice but to abandon you today. You better run fast and don't stop. Just lead these Cao troops away!"

Muttering this, Bao Long turned and went to the other end of the woods.

Fortunately, it was almost dark by then, and Bao Long hid in the woods for a night, finally avoiding pursuit.

But the next day, not far from the forest, they saw another army hiding twenty miles outside the forest.

This army of horses doesn't have any flags, which obviously shows that something is wrong!
