Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 445 Escape
With the Wei River blocking his way, Xing Daorong felt a little troubled.

The Wei River is estimated to be five meters wide. An ordinary horse can only jump thirty or four meters at most, so it is very difficult to jump across it.

If I wade across, firstly I don't know how deep the water is, and secondly it will be slow.

By then, he will become a sitting target just like Cao Zhen.

Of course Xing Daorong could also walk along the river.

However, if the pursuers catch up, they will certainly find that he did not cross the river and will walk along the river.

By then, you won’t be able to get rid of it.

Besides, if we walk along the river, we have no idea what's happening ahead. It would be terrible if we get surrounded by Cao's army.

And the possibility of being surrounded is quite a lot!

After all, Cao's army won a great victory, and the Han army all fled to Xianyang. The only ones left were Wei troops. As long as Xing Daorong met anyone, he would basically be dead.

After hesitating for a moment, Xing Daorong decided to fight to the death.

It’s not that he likes gambling, but he has to gamble right now!

If you don’t cross the Wei River, it will be a slow death.

In this case, it is better to take the decision of life and death into your own hands.

Xing Daorong patted De Lu's horse's neck and said, "Good brother, we have fought side by side for many years, and today is the time for you to save me!"

"If we cross the Wei River, we can both escape."

"If you can't cross it, then we'll go to the underworld together and see the King of Hell."

Although the term "King of Hell" has probably existed since the Spring and Autumn Period, it was not until the Eastern Jin Dynasty when the 30th chapter of the "Dīrgha Āgama Sūtra" was translated by Buddhayasas and Zhu Fonian that the accurate title of "King of Hell" was recorded in books.

Logically speaking, the period of the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms... no, now it should be called the Two Kingdoms period, and it is more common.

However, although De Luma could not understand what people were saying, he knew what they meant.

He hit the horse's nose to make a loud noise, took two steps back, and then rushed forward.

Di Luma's mobility is much stronger than Xing Daorong's.

Before Xing Daorong could even react on horseback, the horse rushed out.

However, Xing Daorong was not nervous at all. He just laughed loudly and gave Lu a big laugh.

"Good horse!"

"rush!"

As Xing Daorong shouted "Charge", Di Lu came to the edge of the Wei River and jumped suddenly!
Both his front and hind legs were stretched out, and Xing Daorong on horseback even had a moment to admire the surging Wei River in mid-air.

In a flash, Di Lu jumped to the other side!
Become!

Xing Daorong was overjoyed when he saw this!
Although I am no longer afraid of life and death, it would be too embarrassing to fall into the water and die.

Xing Daorong was naturally overjoyed as he had crossed the Weishui River and escaped today.

And just after he crossed the Wei River, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry came after him.

The one leading the way was Cao Xiu.

At this moment, he saw Xing Daorong standing on the opposite bank, looking at him with a smug look on his face, and he couldn't help but feel surprised and confused.

But he asked, "Xing Daorong, how did you cross the Wei River?"

Hearing this, Xing Daorong burst into laughter: "Cao Xiu! God is helping me!"

"Today my Di Lu horse can cross the Wei River. Let's see if your war horses can make it!"

Cao Xiu was even more surprised when he heard this.

Although I had guessed it, I couldn't help but be surprised when Xing Daorong really admitted it.

If he could jump over the Wei River which is 5 meters wide, what logic is there in that?

There is no logic to this!
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were helpless on the edge of the Wei River. It wasn't that Cao Xiu was worried about staying here, but it was that these heavy cavalrymen really couldn't get through!
At that moment, he could only watch Xing Daorong turn away with a smug look on his face. All his martial arts skills were useless.

But even though Xing Daorong was released, the strategic purpose of this Cao army's military operation had been achieved.

To the west, Sima Yi led a large army to break through Liu Bei's camp, forcing Liu Bei to retreat over a hundred miles, making it impossible for him to organize an effective counterattack for a while.

In the north, Pang De and Ma Chao got the news and wanted to smoke Liu Bei immediately, but unexpectedly they met Sima Yi's army which had already ended the war on the western front.

The difference in numbers is too great, so naturally we cannot win.

Although Pang De and Ma Chao fought desperately, they were defeated and Gaoling fell into the hands of Cao Wei's army.

As for Weinan, Sima Yi retook it without any effort.

Now the only thing still in Liu Bei's hands is Zhang Fei's Tongguan.

This situation seems to be not much different from before.

It was nothing more than Sima Yi, who was trapped in Chang'an, expanding his territory, and seemed to be still under attack from Liu Bei and Zhang Fei.

But on the contrary, it was not Chang'an that was under siege, but Zhang Fei who was counter-surrounded.

Originally, Liu Bei's army was in Xianyang, and Weinan was also a thorn. If Sima Yi's army moved to attack Tongguan, Liu Bei could react at any time.

He has many options, including attacking Chang'an, supporting Tongguan, and cooperating with Ma Chao in Gaoling.

But now they were forced to withdraw from Xianyang. Firstly, it was difficult to organize a large army to force Chang'an again in a short time. Secondly, the distance was more than a hundred miles, and they could not get news on time, let alone rush to help.

As a result, Zhang Fei became isolated and helpless in Tongguan.

When Cao Pi's reinforcements arrive at Tongguan, Sima Yi will send troops from Chang'an to attack the pass from two sides. The food supply will be cut off and Zhang Fei will be killed. What will they use to defend it then?

Liu Bei was naturally very clear about these things.

Although today's defeat did not cause Sima Yi to attack him, the situation has reversed. Not to mention being in danger, he is in big trouble!

...

Chen Cang.

The Han Emperor's camp.

Liu Bei looked ugly and extremely depressed.

As for the rest of the people like Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and others, they also had gloomy expressions on their faces. In this situation, they didn't know what to say.

After a while, Wei Yan hurried in, bowed to Liu Bei and said, "Your Majesty, I have inquired, but there is still no news of the general..."

When everyone heard Wei Yan's words, their faces became even more gloomy.

We lost the battle and the general is nowhere to be found. What should we do?
Zhao Yun could no longer bear it. Seeing that no one was talking, he suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, tell me to go and find the general!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and others came forward, wanting to ask for orders to go find Xing Daorong.

Some people even signed a military order, saying that they wanted to see the person alive or the body dead.

However, the reason why Liu Bei was able to become emperor was naturally because he had extraordinary abilities.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just look at how many times Liu Bei had lost battles and how many times he had lost contact with his brothers, but didn’t he manage to get through them all?

Faced with this situation, the main player is also very experienced!

But he waved his hand and said, "You are destined to be with a lucky person, so there is no need for us to worry."

"Right now, we should think about how to deal with today's situation."

"If Sima Yi attacks again, will we still be able to defend Chencang?"

Liu Bei asked repeatedly, and only then did the generals come back to their senses.

Yes!

The key right now is how to deal with Sima Yi’s aggressive troops!
