Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 414 General Guan was defeated!
Lure the enemy out!

Surround the place to call for help!

Lu Xun seemed to have guessed what Xing Daorong was thinking.

But no one expected that Xing Daorong was really prepared to deal with those feinting troops.

I originally thought that I had seen through Cao Bing's plan, and I just needed to stabilize the situation. I didn't expect that General Xing really had no time to rest.

After guessing it, he asked, "General, are you talking about this Wubu Lake to cut off the water source so as to lure the troops from Shouchun out and seize Shouchun?"

After saying that, Xing Daorong nodded first, then shook his head.

Then he heard him say, "We want to lead the troops from Shouchun out only to attack their troops, not to capture Shouchun."

"At the moment we are facing 50,000 soldiers and horses, although it is not a large number, and we also know that the Cao army is mostly feinting, but they are using Huaixi and Qingxu to deal with us, spying on us day and night, we can't stand it!"

Xing Daorong said directly: "It is right next to my bed, how can I allow others to sleep soundly!"

"As long as Cao's army has assembled its troops, no matter whether it is a feint or not, we can't just passively defend, we have to think about how to break it."

Lu Xun nodded after hearing this, and said, "I see, General, you are right. I will learn from you."

Xing Daorong was somewhat surprised to see that Lu Xun was obediently serving as his student.

He knew Lu Xun's original achievements. How could he have deserved to make the last great commander-in-chief of Eastern Wu so obedient?
But he himself did not realize that, now there was no need for Zhuge Liang to use any strategy, he could lead the area on his own without any pressure.

So this person's potential is endless. Xing Daorong can now fight against Sima Yi and others by relying on himself.

Xing Daorong immediately suppressed his chaotic thoughts and said, "It won't be easy if we just cut off the water source."

"The source and the upper reaches are all in the west. It is only possible if we avoid the Chengde people."

Lu Xun said: "This is a simple matter. There must be chaos in the Central Plains now. Just ask Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to pretend to be pirates and cut off the water supply."

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin heard this and immediately stepped forward and said, "We are familiar with this matter and we will definitely not let Cao's army find out."

Xing Daorong was naturally relieved about these two, but he couldn't help but remind them again: "This is icing on the cake. Our current priority is to defend Hefei and Jiangdong."

"If we encounter a crisis, let's go back to Hefei first."

The two men nodded seriously and left immediately after receiving the order.

Xing Daorong was so cautious, naturally not because he was afraid of Cao Zhen or Xu Huang, but because he was worried that Sima Yi would use a trick.

However, when Xing Daorong was preparing for war so actively, Cao Zhen's mentality when he returned to Hefei was completely different.

It is very clear at this moment that this move of his troops is to cooperate with Jingzhou's feint attack.

All we have to do is suppress Xing Daorong and prevent him from supporting Xiangfan.

As for whether Xiangfan could be won, Cao Pi was leading the troops personally this time, so even if something unexpected happened, no one could be blamed.

At present, he placed the main army in Shouchun, and had Xu Huang lead a small number of troops to station in Chengde.

In the Qingxu area, Xuzhou governor Lu Qian also led troops to cooperate and focus on a steady approach!
Last time, because of my prudent coaching style, I indeed let Hefei be handed over to others. However, this time, I still have to be prudent.

After entering Hefei, Cao Zhen kept inviting Sima Yi to discuss matters.

But he asked: "Military Advisor Sima, today our troops have arrived at their respective locations, what should we do next?"

It seems that Cao Zhen didn't know that Sima Yi went to see Yu Yujin alone, otherwise he would not have been so friendly to him.

But at the moment, Cao Zhen is open to good advice.

Sima Yi said: "Xing Daorong often uses dangerous tactics, and he cannot be judged normally."

"Logically speaking, he should have guessed that we were just feinting, but he was also afraid that if we suddenly launched an attack, he would naturally defend the city to avoid loss." Cao really suffered a great loss!
He was very aware of how powerful Xing Daorong was. After hearing Sima Yi's words, he nodded.

But he said: "Yes, yes, the general is right."

"This Xing Daorong is a general in Liu Bei's army. We really need to be careful."

After saying that, he asked for advice for a long time: "But if he takes action, where should he go?"

Sima Yi looked at Cao Zhen, who seemed to be sincerely seeking advice. He stared at the map and paused for a moment. He thought for a long time and said, "After all, their troops are not as many as ours. If they want to take action, they cannot go straight to Shouchun."

"Even if they are heading for Shouchun, they have to lead us out of the city."

"As for what method to use, we won't know until Xing Daorong makes his move."

When Cao Zhen heard that Sima Yi had no strategy at the moment, he could only respond helplessly.

He thought that as long as he defended the city well and showed the momentum of swallowing up Hefei and Jiangdong, Xing Daorong himself would be unable to move.

As long as Xing Daorong can't move, his mission will be accomplished.

This time the troops
Cao Zhen is really conservative.

It always takes some time for the matter of cutting off the source to ferment.

So at the moment, he has really become a spectator.

Which play do you want to see?
Naturally, it was Cao Pi who led the army from Xuchang, merged with Cao Ren's troops, and headed for Fancheng.

Guan Yu raised a large army, with all the people as soldiers, and went to Xiangfan to resist Cao Pi's army.

However, the army he assembled only consisted of troops from Jingzhou.

Xing Daorong in Jiangdong wanted to deal with Cao Zhen, and Liu Bei in Chengdu wanted to rush to help Guanzhong.

Otherwise, once Jiangdong is broken, Xiangfan cannot be defended. Once Guanzhong is broken, both Hanzhong and Chengdu will be in danger.

Unable to move on either side, Guan Yu had to rely on himself.

To put it bluntly, although the other two sides were just feint attacks, it was also a full-scale war between the North and the South!

It's a competition of all aspects.

However, Xing Daorong originally felt that Guan Yu had no worries as Xiangfan was still in his hands. Even if Cao Pi led the army in person, he probably would not be able to do anything to Guan Yu.

Unexpectedly, bad news came from Xiangfan soon.

"General Xing"

"Reports of the battle at Xiangfan came in, Cao Pi led the vanguard, feigned defeat, and led General Guan out of the city."

"General Guan was tricked, led out of the city, and defeated by Cao's army!"

"Fortunately, Generals Guan Ping, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua and others risked their lives to rescue him."

"only."

Listening to Bao Long's report, Xing Daorong's expression gradually turned ugly.

Especially since Bao Long is still keeping me in suspense, I feel even more uncomfortable!
He immediately asked, "Just what? Tell me now!"

Bao Long said: "But General Zhou Cang died in the battle, and Fancheng was taken by Cao Ren. General Guan has now retreated back to Xiangyang!"

Good guy!
This is a complete defeat!
