Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 401: Xing Daorong is not fooled

This scene under the city indeed matches what the two surrendered Cao soldiers said.

But Xing Daorong didn't dare to make a rash decision about what was going on.

just
Xing Daorong didn't dare to confirm what was going on for the time being, and he had to discuss it with Lu Xun first.

The scene under the city was not only watched by Xing Daorong, but also by Lu Xun, who saw it clearly. He said to Xing Daorong, "General, this is very strange."

"Although we already knew that there was internal strife in Cao's army, to say that they quarreled right in front of the two armies is really... really too much."

"This is either a deliberate show for us, or it's a deliberate attempt to lure us out of the city."

Um.
That makes sense.

Lu Xun's analysis made Xing Daorong nod his head.

Just as Lu Xun finished speaking, he changed the subject and said, "But, such a quarrel in front of the two armies will inevitably cause the army's morale to collapse. If this is fake, the risk is extremely high."

"Besides, if there is really a disagreement, we can send troops to attack and take it down easily!"

There is some truth in what you said.

but
Xing Daorong didn't worry at all.

Now that I have the advantage, I naturally need to be stable!

As for whether he could defeat Cao Zhen, he actually didn't care. As long as he could defend Hefei, Cao Zhen would have no choice but to retreat.

So Xing Daorong thought about it and said, "Let's ignore Cao's army and just defend Hefei City."

"It's easy to lose this city, but it's quite difficult to take it back."

"If we keep our troops in place, even if Cao Zhen really wants to lure us out of the city, his plan will fail and we can only worry in vain. We should just wait and see what happens."

Hearing that Xing Daorong seemed to have made up his mind to stabilize the situation first, Lu Xun nodded slightly.

It's always a good idea to defend the city in this way.

He didn't say much at the moment, just said: "Then I will go to the city to make some arrangements, so that nothing goes wrong."

Xing Daorong naturally agreed, but thought that Lu Xun was really doing his best.

On the other hand, when Xing Daorong was as stable as a rock in the city, Cao Zhen was very anxious because he could not lure Xing Daorong out of the city.

The ultimate reason is that if the status quo remains, the purpose of Cao Zhen's military expedition will not be achieved.

After returning, I don't know if I will be blamed, but I will be blamed by Cao Pi.
They may all get themselves implicated.

Others would certainly find this statement a bit strange. Cao Pi is already the King of Wei, so how could he still be implicated?

Before Cao Cao's death, there was actually some instability within the north.

After Cao Pi came to power, it was clear to outsiders what his intention was in appointing himself as commander-in-chief.

Isn’t it just “every emperor has his own ministers”, so he wants to promote his own confidants?
This matter would have caused a reaction from some old ministers, but Cao Pi was the legitimate heir to the throne, and Cao Cao had only been dead for a short time, so his influence was still there, so it was difficult to take action.

And if the newcomer keeps making mistakes.
This has changed.

So Cao Zhen was really anxious!

At this moment, inside the big tent, he frowned and said, "Xing Daorong is defending the city. We are doing this, but he won't send out troops. What should we do?"

Zhang He and others had no other options.

If this thing is determined to be a coward and has no intention of sending troops, there is really no way to deal with it.

But the current situation is like this. Even if I can’t think of a solution, I have to think of some way.

Zhang He thought for a while and said, "Why not ask me to lead the army to attack the water fort on the riverside? If the water fort can be breached, it will cut off Xing Daorong's way back and perhaps lead him out of the city."

As soon as this was said, Xu Huang on the side objected directly. He said: "No, if we attack the ferry, how can the mighty navy of Jiangdong just sit there and watch?"

"Xing Daorong said that he was only defending Hefei, but it is connected to Jiangdong, so how can he think that it has become an isolated city?"

"The reason why it's so difficult is because of these things."

have to.
Zhang He had not even thought of this idea for a second when it was opposed by his own people. He was also discouraged.

But he sighed: "In this case... there is really no good plan."

Cao Zhen was really distressed.

He secretly hated Xing Daorong in his heart, but cursed him for being a coward, completely forgetting that he had also stayed indoors at the beginning.

Just when there was no solution at the moment and the atmosphere was a little depressing, Yu Jin suddenly said, "Xing Daorong didn't fall for our trick today, so we can only lure him out of the city again."

"I have a plan. Marshal, can you give me the seal of the commander? This way, Xing Daorong will think that our army has changed its commander before the battle, and he will definitely send troops."

Change the coach at the last minute!

Yu Jin’s idea is really bold!

However, his idea was indeed a bit risky, and it made Cao Zhen, who had previously "temporarily reconciled" with him, secretly doubt whether Yu Jin was going to use this strategy to turn the fake into real one.

But when I think about it more carefully, I feel that it is unlikely.

After all, the commander-in-chief of this army cannot give up the position just by himself.

He hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and agreed: "This strategy can be tried."

"Tomorrow we will go to the city to challenge each other. Why not ask General Yu to lead the team? I won't show up for the time being."

Cao Zhen also risked his life for this battle.

Even the position of head coach can be given up.

When Zhang He and Xu Huang saw that Cao Zhen really agreed, they secretly admired him.

Ever since.
The next day, it was Yu Jin who went to Hefei city to lead the challenge.

Xing Daorong looked at it in surprise.

I never expected that after I slept for a night, the commander of Cao’s army was replaced!
Could it be that the quarrel had really reached this extent?

Xing Daorong glanced at Lu Xun beside him and saw that he was also a little bit unbelievable.

This is not surprising. After all, Cao Zhen was not dead and was not defeated. It is indeed a bit exaggerated to change the commander directly at the critical moment.

Bao Long, who was following Xing Daorong, saw this and couldn't help but whisper to Xing Daorong, "General, was Cao Zhen really driven away by Yu Jin? That old thief Yu Jin is really good at tricks!"

Xing Daorong was moved when he heard this, but he said to Bao Long: "Old Bao, go ask that guy what's going on."

I come?

Bao Long was surprised at first, but then he quickly realized what was happening and laughed, "Okay! Just ask me!"

After saying that, he shouted towards the city: "Yu Jin, you old thief! Where is that little Cao Zhen? Why are you here to challenge us?"

"Hurry up and call your commander-in-chief over. You old thief, you are not qualified to speak to my general!"

Good guy!
Letting Bao Long ask doesn't make him so arrogant!

Even Xing Daorong couldn't listen to this question, let alone Yu Jin who was under him!

He pointed at the city wall and shouted, "Stop making noise. Fight me if you dare!"
