Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 450 The storm is coming
Huayin County is a famous historical and cultural city and an important birthplace of Yangshao culture.

Towns were established in the Spring and Autumn Period, and counties were established in the Warring States Period.

There have been many talented people throughout the ages, and later generations have said that "all the Yang family in the world come from Huayin".

The founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, the honest official Guanxi Master Yang Zhen, and one of the "Four Heroes of the Early Tang Dynasty" Yang Jiong were all from Huayin.

But at this moment Huayin is just a small county. After passing Huayin, you will enter the mountains.

It is best to go through the mountains where you can hide naturally.

but…

Zhang Fei thought that he was obviously going to leave in a grand manner, so why was he going to a remote place?

Xing Daorong saw Zhang Fei's hesitation, so he advised: "Don't think too much, Yide, just go. The more remote the place you go, the harder it will be for Cao's army to find you."

"Give us time to be locked up... it will be too long!"

That's it!

Zhang Fei understood!

Isn't this just a mixture of truth and falsehood? On the surface, they leave with great fanfare, but in reality they go astray.

Sima Yi doesn't know the truth and will definitely be delayed.

To be honest, Xing Daorong's soldiers did not expect that this strategy would attract much attention from Sima Yi.

He believed that Sima Yi's thinking should be clear.

As long as we retake Tongguan, we can force Liu Bei to retreat!

This resulted in Liu Bei's Northern Expedition being unsuccessful.

However, in order to get Zhang Fei to leave, Xing Daorong naturally wouldn't speak his mind. Seeing that Zhang Fei followed his thoughts, he quickly said, "It's settled. Don't think about it any more, otherwise it will be delayed again."

Zhang Fei nodded in agreement, and the next day he finally led his men out of Tongguan, waving a large flag and heading west.

...

Changan.

Sima Yi won a great victory, but he was not in a hurry to send troops to Tongguan.

As for the reason, it was because of Xing Daorong.

Especially when Sima Yi heard Cao Xiu say that Xing Daorong escaped death by jumping over the Wei River on horseback, he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

Xing Daorong's luck... is really too good!
After being depressed for a day or two, I finally regained my composure and decided to go to Tongguan.

Before leaving, he specifically asked about the military situation in the east.

Yu Jin reported: "Your Majesty has sent Liu Ye and Lu Qian to lead the army, which has already set out from Luoyang and is heading for Tongguan."

"I think the troops will arrive soon."

Sima Yi heard this and said, "If we can't capture Xing Daorong, it would be good to capture Zhang Fei in Tongguan."

Just as he was about to order his troops to march east, he heard a scout report: "General, news from Tongguan: Zhang Fei led his troops out of Tongguan at dawn yesterday."

"Heading towards Huayin, it seems as if he is heading into the mountains."

Enter the mountain!

Upon hearing the scout's report, several generals jumped up immediately.

But he cried: "Zhang Fei is actually going to leave! We must not let him go!"

"Yes! We finally caught one, we can't let him get away!"

"Marshal! Give me three thousand men and I will chase him!"

Zhang He, Xu Huang, and Yu Jin all requested to fight.

However, Sima Yi was not impatient at all. He just waved his hand, asking everyone to calm down, and then asked: "But are you sure that it is really Zhang Fei?"

The scout said, "It is clear that it is Zhang Fei!"

"We are brave and close, so we can see everything clearly."

Sima Yi thought about it and felt that Zhang Fei couldn't think of a way to replace himself with someone else.

It seems that Zhang Fei really ran away!
Sima Yi immediately said, "Cao Xiu! You lead the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to chase and kill Zhang Fei."

"We let Xing Daorong escape before, so we must not lose Zhang Fei this time." Cao Xiu always felt that Sima Yi was very... concerned and targeting the generals of the Cao family.

Although the deaths of Cao Zhen and Cao Hong were not caused by Sima Yi, Cao Xiu always felt that Sima Yi was behind it.

Today, I heard him say that he wanted to chase Zhang Fei by himself. For some reason, I felt something was wrong.

But if you really want to say there is something wrong, you can't put your finger on it.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is indeed the most suitable for this pursuit.

There was nothing wrong with Sima Yi's arrangement.

So even though Cao Xiu felt that something was not right, he did not show it on his face and suppressed his anxieties in his heart.

But he didn't say a word and just took the order and left.

Even though I left, I still kept it in mind.

If you encounter any difficulties, don't force it.

He didn't want to follow in the footsteps of his two relatives...

...

Sima Yi had no idea that Cao Xiu had so many plans in his mind. When he asked Cao Xiu to chase Zhang Fei, he really had no other ideas. He was only thinking about the public interest.

I really think that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are the most suitable to pursue Zhang Fei, so that's why I asked him to go.

Little did he expect that Cao Xiu did not think so.

After arranging the pursuit, he said to Xu Huang, "Gongming, you go to Tongguan. Since Zhang Fei is not here, Tongguan should be empty."

"After entering Tongguan, if Liu Ye leads his army, tell him to guard Tongguan while you lead the troops back."

Xu Huang kept them all in mind and agreed repeatedly.

Now that Sima Yi had won a battle, and had almost destroyed Liu Bei's plan of the Northern Expedition with just one battle, he was naturally highly respected.

Not to mention that he is currently...a big shot around Cao Pi.

In short, Sima Yi is not only supported by the army, but also the emperor's confidant.

All these buffs are stacked up, as if... just waiting for something unexpected to happen.

...

However, Xu Huang received the order and went to Tongguan. He thought that there was really no one in Tongguan, but when he arrived at the pass, he found that there was no one there, but people everywhere.

At this moment, arrows were shot at the pass, preventing Xu Huang from getting close for a while.

I thought that after Zhang Fei left, there would be no one inside the pass, but unexpectedly there were still troops guarding it.

Xu Huang was confused for a moment, so he shouted loudly towards Guan Shang: "Zhang Fei left a long time ago, and those of you who are left behind are all abandoned. Why are you still resisting and losing your lives in vain!"

Xu Huang still thought that the soldiers currently at the pass were some that Zhang Fei had left behind to continue to resist.

I thought if I said a few words, these soldiers would surely put down their weapons and surrender. But as soon as I closed the door, I heard a loud shout!
"How dare the small Cao army attack the pass of the Han Dynasty!"

Xu Huang was stunned when he heard this.

He really didn't expect that even though the main general had left, these people would still fight to the death. This is not common sense!

Are these soldiers of Liu Bei's family all reckless people?

Xu Huang was confused.

It would be fine if all the generals of Liu Bei's family were capable, but why...

Why don’t these ordinary soldiers want to lose their lives?

Is this still a human being?
Xu Huang didn't know that this was done on purpose by Xing Daorong.

He did not show up at first, but asked the soldiers under him to greet them. The Cao general who came thought that only some soldiers were left behind.

really!

Xu Huang immediately misunderstood Xing Daorong's actions and thought that these Han soldiers were voluntarily defending the pass.

On the one hand, it will shake his heart, and on the other hand, it will cause him to misjudge his strategy.

Without waiting to join forces with Cao Pi's troops, Xu Huang gave the order: "Attack the pass!"
