Chapter 446 Alone

Liu Bei was certainly not not worried about Xing Daorong, but there was no point in worrying about it right now.

Xing Daorong's life or death is uncertain, and he can only rely on himself.

Others…can’t help him even if they want to…

In the big tent, Liu Bei saw that everyone's minds had returned, so he continued: "Today's defeat will surely cause the army's morale to waver. You all go back to the camp and restore the army's morale. As for the news about the general... don't say too much in the army."

Xing Daorong was the god of war in the army. If the soldiers knew he was missing, it would have a huge impact on morale, so they had to keep it secret.

The generals listened to Liu Bei's instructions and suppressed their worries about Xing Daorong. Instead, they bowed and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will not reveal a single word."

There was still no sign of joy or anger on Liu Bei's face. He just raised his hand with difficulty and told everyone to disperse.

Seeing how difficult his situation was, everyone knew very well that this was because they were worried about Xing Daorong.

But this is also common sense. Everyone sees it and understands it in their hearts.

...

I won’t go into detail about Liu Bei’s arrangements, let’s talk about our general.

Although Xing Daorong crossed the Wei River and escaped the pursuit, the crisis was not over.

At this moment, he was still surrounded by Cao's army. Although he had not encountered Cao's army yet, he could not relax for a moment.

Although he knew that he should join up with the main force as soon as possible, Xing Daorong was a little lost at the moment.

Or to put it more accurately, Xing Daorong was lost.

This may sound ridiculous, but it is actually quite common.

Generally, when marching, there are maps to guide you, and every place you go is marked, so you won’t get lost.

However, for Xing Daorong, who was alone, he was not familiar with the Xianyang and Chang'an areas. As he walked, he lost his direction for a while.

I wanted to find a local to ask, but because of the great war between Han and Wei, ordinary people couldn't hang around outside.

So Xing Daorong got lost and had no one to ask for directions. For a while, he was really like a headless fly.

...

"Your Majesty should have retreated to Chencang, but I can't tell how to get to Chencang."

Xing Daorong was walking on the path holding Lu's hand, muttering to himself.

Di Lu seemed to be much more energetic than Xing Daorong. He snorted and looked for edible grass along the way to replenish his strength.

However, Lu Neng had to pick up food on the roadside, so Xing Daorong had to go hungry.

I was in such a hurry when I left that I didn't even bring any dry food with me. It started to rain in the sky and I was really hungry and cold now.

After thinking about it, I realized that if I want to get out of the current predicament, I still have to rely on Lu.

It is said that an old horse knows the way.

Xing Daorong lost his way and could only rely on Di Luma to lead the way.

He immediately patted the horse's neck and said, "Diluo, Dilu, I relied on you to save my life last time, and I have to rely on you again today. Take me home."

Dilum looked up, glanced at Xing Daorong, and suddenly neighed, as if it understood what Xing Daorong said.

Then he suddenly took two steps forward, as if he had found the right direction, and turned into Lu and took Xing Daorong away.

When Xing Daorong took a look, he was surprised to see who this Lu Zhen was!

Regardless of whether the route we are taking is right or not, at least we have a direction now.

If you employ a horse, trust it; if you doubt it, don't employ it. At this moment, Xing Daorong can only focus on trusting it.

...

As Lu walked along, Xing Daorong had lost track of where he was. After walking for three or four days, when they were exhausted, Xing Daorong finally found out where they were.

Tongguan! This Luma...actually brought himself directly to Tongguan!

This was something Xing Daorong had not expected.

I originally wanted to return to Chencang to reunite with Liu Bei, but who would have thought that I would go directly to Tongguan.

My Luma...

You're really sending yourself to wherever there's danger!
After the defeat in Xianyang, Xing Daorong also understood Sima Yi's intentions in the past few days.

He deliberately acted like a coward, luring Liu Bei's troops away, and then won the battle in one go, defeating them one by one.

After suppressing Liu Bei's main force, people in other places became Sima Yi's meal.

And the delicious dish on the plate at this moment is Tongguan!

They come, the security.

Since Di Lu has brought him to Tongguan after many twists and turns, he might as well just enter the pass directly.

Xing Daorong waited until midnight that day, and fortunately Cao's army had not arrived yet, so he went to the pass alone.

In Tongguan, Zhang Fei also knew the situation outside and was on guard outside the pass at all times.

So even though it was late at night, as soon as Xing Daorong appeared, someone in Tongguan discovered him.

They thought it was a scout of Cao's army and shot arrows at it.

Xing Daorong never expected that he would come to the checkpoint alone and be shot at directly.

He almost didn't react in time and died in the hands of his own people. Xing Daorong shouted quickly: "Yide! It's me! Xing Daorong!"

When the Han soldiers at the pass heard that it was Xing Daorong, they were all shocked.

General!
Why are you here?
However, the figure could not be seen clearly in the darkness, and even with the light of the fire, it was still unclear who it was.

Just when he was hesitating, Zhang Fei got the news and rushed to the pass.

Sure enough, I saw a dark figure below, and I could tell at a glance that he looked a bit like Xing Daorong!

Then he called out, "Is the person behind the pass really Zi Yu?"

When Xing Daorong heard Zhang Fei's voice, he was afraid that he was injured by mistake, so he quickly responded: "Yide, it's me, how come you can't even recognize my voice."

When Zhang Fei heard it, he realized it was Xing Daorong's voice!

He immediately responded with great joy: "Zi Yu, why are you here alone?"

Then he called out to the side: "Quick, quick, open the door quickly and let the general in."

When the people nearby heard this, they hurried forward to open and close the door.

However, no one thought that this was an attempt to force the gate to open. After all, there was only one person there at night, and it was impossible for one person to take over the checkpoint after entering the checkpoint.

So when everyone heard Zhang Fei say that he was really the great general, they felt relieved.

When the gate opened, Zhang Fei went to wait. Seeing Xing Daorong entering the gate alone on horseback, he hurried over to greet him and said, "Zi Yu, what's going on? Why are you the only one here?"

Xing Daorong smiled bitterly and said, "It's a long story. I got separated from His Majesty and wanted to go back to reunite with him, but I wandered around and lost my way, and ended up here at Yide."

As he spoke, he felt hungry, so Xing Daorong hurriedly said, "Yide, let's talk about other things slowly. Let me fill my stomach first."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fei quickly called for people to bring some food and drinks.

After Xing Daorong ate a few pancakes, he felt that his energy had returned a little.

Seeing that Zhang Fei had been accompanying him all the time, he said, "Yide, after today's defeat, Tongguan is the most dangerous."

"Have you seen any enemy activity in the past few days?"
