Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 451 Sending Warmth

It is easy to understand why Xu Huang made the decision to attack the enemy.

Logically, they should have attacked the pass together with Liu Ye's troops sent by Cao Pi.

However, Zhang Fei was not even in the pass, but was frightened by a few small soldiers. That was too embarrassing!

So Xu Huang went ahead without even thinking!
This was just a casual order, but it almost cost him his life!
Xu Huang came here to take over Tongguan, not to attack Tongguan, so he wouldn't bring too many people with him.

He now brought 3,000 men, which was comparable to the people inside the Great Wall. But in fact, Xu Huang was afraid that the food and grass inside the Great Wall would be insufficient, so he brought a lot of food and grass.

So among them there were five hundred men and horses, who were the baggage troops.

To be honest, there are still fewer troops than those inside the pass.

When Xing Daorong saw it, his eyes lit up!
"You can let the people go, but you can't let any of the baggage go!"

Xing Daorong muttered to himself, and seeing that the soldiers were about to shoot arrows, he quickly stopped them and said, "Don't shoot. Let Cao's army through the pass. With so few people, are you afraid that you can't take them down?"

This is what it means to have a commander in chief.

When the commander is there, there is the backbone.

The soldiers all agreed and followed Xing Daorong to ambush inside the pass.

Seeing that Guan Shang didn't even shoot arrows, Xu Huang said to himself, "As expected."

These soldiers may sound powerful in words, but without their leader, they inevitably show weakness when facing a real battle.

Thinking of this, Xu Huang urged his troops to attack the gate.

There seemed to be no one guarding the door, and the soldiers broke it open with a few pushes.

Xu Huang rushed out first, shouting: "Xu Huang is here, if you don't surrender quickly, I will spare your life!"

But before he could finish his words, a familiar voice suddenly shouted!

"Xu Huang!"

"Have you seen who I am?"

Xu Huang was very familiar with this voice!

If it’s not Xing Daorong, who else could it be?
When he turned around, he saw a general holding a big axe and riding a white horse, rushing out with a majestic look!

Xu Huang then suddenly realized why these soldiers were able to persist so much even though Zhang Fei was running away.

It turns out that Xing Daorong is here!
But wasn’t Xing Daorong being hunted down and missing?
How come you are here!

And since Xing Daorong appeared here, how many troops were there in Tongguan? Was he trapped in some conspiracy?
When Xu Huang saw Xing Daorong appear, he was shocked at first, and then he began to murmur in his heart.

No wonder he was so nervous. Xing Daorong was so elusive that he was thought to be being hunted down and had disappeared. But who would have thought that he would appear in Tongguan again!
However, these distracting thoughts would only make Xu Huang even weaker when facing Xing Daorong.

Xing Daorong knew that he had to kill with one strike.

Xu Huang is also a capable man. We can only attack him when he is distracted. If we wait until he comes to his senses, it will be extremely troublesome.

Therefore, Xing Daorong had a ruthless look on his face and his every move was a killing move.

The key to his axe-wielding skills is to kill with every strike.

The first three moves are the most deadly ones.

The so-called three axes... are just like this...

Seeing that Xing Daorong's attack was full of murderous intent, Xu Huang was shocked and subconsciously swung his axe to resist.

But Xing Daorong was too ruthless!

As described in "Zhuangzi: Xu Wugui": "A man from Ying covered the tip of his nose with chalk, which looked like a fly's wing. He asked a carpenter Shi to chop it off. The carpenter Shi used his axe to generate wind, listened and chopped the man off. The chalk was all gone, but the nose was not hurt. The man from Ying stood there without losing his composure."

Xing Daorong swung the axe, and the sound of the wind was whistling, it was very powerful.

Xu Huang managed to hold on for three moves, but couldn't hold on any longer, so he turned around and left.

Xing Daorong saw that he had defeated Xu Huang, but he was unwilling to give up and shouted, "Charge, charge, charge, don't let these Wei soldiers go!" Seeing how brave their general was, his soldiers rushed forward bravely and also chased after the Wei soldiers and killed them.

As for the Wei soldiers, their commander had fled, and naturally their soldiers' morale was low.

Furthermore, Xu Huang was originally relaxed and careless, and his mood also affected the soldiers under him.

They did not think that this would be a tough battle and were not mentally prepared, so they were naturally no match for Xing Daorong's troops.

The moment they were killed, they collapsed and scrambled to escape through the door.

In their eyes...this is not Tongguan, it is clearly the gate of hell!

Xing Daorong did not choose to close the door and beat the dog.

As I said, what he wants is food and supplies, not people.

Even if these people were caught, they would be of no use to me.

When Cao's army arrives, won't everyone defect in the face of the enemy?

So there is no point in keeping it!

If we close the door and fight the enemy, these soldiers will definitely fight to the death. We don't have many men at this pass, and if we lose more men and horses because of the enemy's desperate fight, it will not be worth it...

Therefore, Xing Daorong just wanted to kill Xu Huang's group of people, but he had no intention of annihilating them completely.

Needless to say, this was a great battle. Xing Daorong easily led his troops and defeated Xu Huang's army.

The grain and fodder were captured at Zibo, and the rest were driven out of Tongguan.

Although Xu Huang was defeated in this battle, he only lost food and supplies. However, the news he received really surprised him.

Knowing that Xing Daorong was in Tongguan, Xu Huang hurriedly sent a letter to Chang'an, and while on high alert at the pass, he waited for a reply from Chang'an.

Sima Yi in Chang'an was also surprised to learn that Xing Daorong was actually in Tongguan.

But he quickly realized that this was a great opportunity to kill Liu Bei's general!
Sima Yi, who got the news, immediately led his troops to Tongguan.

...

Although Xing Daorong's affairs in Tongguan were completely exposed after the battle with Xu Huang, the food crisis was completely resolved after Xu Huang showed him some warmth.

In Tongguan... he really could defend it to the death...

So he waited quietly for Sima Yi's army to attack.

Inside the pass, after Xu Huang came, Zhong Yao finally understood the current situation.

Perhaps he blamed Xing Daorong for deceiving him before, or maybe he wanted to avoid suspicion, in any case, Lao Deng never saw Xing Daorong again.

But Xing Daorong is a mean person.

Since Zhong Yao didn't want to see him, he had to see him.

Zhong Yao could only smile bitterly, but he could not do anything to Xing Daorong, so he could only say: "General Xing! The army will come to attack us sooner or later. Why do you still have the leisure to come to me? Don't you want to think about how to face my Wei army?"

Xing Daorong said very open-mindedly: "It comes whether you want it or not. I just need to fight to the death. Why should I think too much?"

Seeing that Xing Daorong really didn't worry about his safety at all, Zhong Yao said helplessly: "I've heard that Xing Ziyu always doesn't care about his life. Today I see that it's true."

"It's just... this person is not born to die soon."

"It is a pity that the general died in battle here. It is better for him to die early, so that his family will not be sad and the world will sigh."

This Zhong Yao...also started to persuade Xing Daorong.

Xing Daorong laughed out loud: "Mr. Yuan Chang is right. I will be unreasonable for once today."

"Now that things have come to this, it's no loss to kill one, and it's a profit to kill two."

"Lord Yuan Tan... Tell me... Should I kill you first?"
