Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 404: Cao Zhen Retreats

In the end, Yu Jin did not return the seal of command.

However, the person who was most affected by this incident was not Cao Zhen.

Of course Cao Zhen was extremely unhappy, but there was nothing he could do for the time being and he could only feel depressed.

The two generals who felt the most depressed among them were Zhang He and Xu Huang.

After the two of them came out of the big tent, they began to discuss with each other.

Zhang He said: "Gongming has seen what happened today. If the generals and commanders are not in harmony, I am afraid that even if the enemy does not come, our army will be defeated!"

"There is no other way now. I want to write a letter to report to the King of Wei to avoid making a big mistake!"

Xu Huang nodded for a while and said, "Yes, the situation today is critical and people's morale is low. Xing Daorong has been calculating the morale of our army repeatedly, which is indeed an open conspiracy."

"Since we have no way to deal with it, it is better to withdraw the troops temporarily and wait until people's hearts are restored before fighting again."

Xu Huang realized that Bao Long came to disrupt the morale of his troops.

But if you ask him to persuade someone, he really doesn't know how to do it.

Just look at the current atmosphere between Cao Zhen and Yu Jin, how can we persuade them?

After thinking it over, I decided to withdraw my troops first and consider other things later.

Xu Huang then continued, "General Zhang, go write the letter and I will sign it with you!"

The two men immediately wrote a secret letter, describing the situation in the army clearly, and then urgently sent someone to send the letter to Yecheng to find Wei Wang Cao Pi.

But Bao Long completed his mission and immediately came back to talk to Xing Daorong about the situation.

He then said, "General, didn't you see that Yu Jin looked like he was about to float up because of what I said?"

"That look is hilarious."

"That guy Yu Jin seems to really think that we think he is the best general in the world!"

Bao Long seemed to be acting out his hobby, and he spoke with great relish.

Xing Daorong listened with a smile, then nodded and said, "If that's the case, the people in Cao's army must be in chaos. Now we just wait and see what happens."

Bao Long listened but didn't understand and said, "General, since the people in Cao's army are in chaos, why don't you just kill them directly?"

Xing Daorong shook his head and said, "No, no, the morale of Cao's army is in chaos. If we go, won't it really distract them?"

"If there are enemies outside, then peace can be achieved inside. If there are no worries outside, then there will be chaos inside."

"Can we help Cao's army distract from its internal troubles? Of course not!"

"Old Bao, just wait patiently! In a few days, Cao's army will be in chaos."

Bao Long was a little confused at first when he heard Xing Daorong's talk.

But after tasting it carefully, he really tasted something.

indeed
If there is internal unrest, just let them fight it out among themselves. Why send troops to help them?

He immediately laughed and said, "I see, then let's just wait!"

Xing Daorong said: "Even so, we still have to reorganize the troops to prevent Cao Zhen from going crazy. Just be careful."

Bao Long nodded and said, "Of course. If Cao's army really dares to come, they will be killed one by one without a burial place."

After saying that, seeing that Xing Daorong had no other instructions, he left immediately.

From then on, Xing Daorong stayed in the city and waited for the movement of Cao's army without any other action.

However, he looked as steady as a rock, which made the others very calm. Even if there were three times as many enemy troops outside, the morale of the army was very stable.

Half a month passed like this. Suddenly one day, Bao Long came running over and said, "General... General... Cao's soldiers outside have all left. They have all left!" Xing Daorong also stood up excitedly when he heard this and asked, "Are you serious?"

Bao Long nodded repeatedly, but said: "The scouts saw it clearly, there is not a single person left in Cao's army."

"There is no one in the camp, and there are still many siege weapons left."

"It seems that in the past half month, the Cao army has been supervising the manufacture of weapons, but has not been able to send troops."

"We have to leave these weapons behind until today when we withdraw our troops."

Xing Daorong waved his hand and said, "Since Cao Jun was kind enough to leave it to us, we can't waste it."

Bao Long chuckled and said, "I've already called someone over. Of course, I can't be left out of this opportunity to take advantage of others!"

"I had already sent soldiers to search and plunder, and now they have brought everything back."

Then, he said with some regret: "It's just that Cao Jun walked too fast, we didn't catch up in time, otherwise we would have killed him clearly!"

Xing Daorong smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. It's better for Cao Jun to go back. This time, they can only make things difficult for Cao Pi."

When Bao Long heard that he was related to Cao Pi again, he felt that it had nothing to do with him.

Matters related to court politics were not something he could consider.

Just as Xing Daorong said, Cao's army returned without success, and there will inevitably be some turmoil after they return.

especially.
Cao Zhi was not dead yet.

...

Cao Zhi was still in Moling.

Originally, Xing Daorong took Moling with the intention of giving it to Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

Although I think Cao Zhi is definitely useful,
Xing Daorong doesn't want to use his brain!
Besides, if Zhuge Liang doesn't use this opportunity, it will go to waste. How can we just let it go?
So Xing Daorong immediately wrote a letter and asked people to make preparations to send Cao Zhi to Chengdu.

Unexpectedly, the letter from Zhuge Liang in Chengdu directly made Xing Daorong stop his plan to send Cao Zhi to Chengdu.

As for the reason, Zhuge Liang wrote it clearly in the letter.

...

"Cao Cao is called the King of Wei, but he is actually a fake king."

"The banner of justice of the lord cannot be used to undermine Cao Cao's position. Therefore, Cao Pi, who succeeded him today, is also a false king."

"He did not get his position legitimately. If we use Cao Zhi, we have to acknowledge his position, which is absolutely impossible."

"But we can't do that. Zi Yu can use it to shake the hearts of the people in the north. It's just that Zi Yu has the idea of ​​how to do it."

Good guy!
He just kicked the ball over, and Zhuge Liang kicked it back.

I didn't want to use my brain at first, but Zhuge Liang forced me to do so. I was speechless for a moment.
After thinking about it, I decided that I couldn't just take it and not use it.

Besides
What the letter from Chengdu said is indeed true!

He has always called Cao thief Cao thief, so naturally he cannot acknowledge his identity as the King of Wei.

But since Cao Cao's identity cannot be recognized, then Cao Zhi's identity cannot be recognized either, and since there is no throne to inherit, then what is the point?
It’s useless for Cao Zhi to hold it in his hand!

Xing Daorong felt distressed. He felt that if he kept Cao Zhi in his hands, he would just be a freeloader!

Thinking of this, Xing Daorong became more and more depressed.

Although he defeated Sun Quan's forces and forced Cao Zhen's army to retreat, Cao Zhi could not use them, and he always felt uncomfortable.

I always feel that this person should be of some use, but why is it so uncomfortable when I really use him?
