Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 454 Pincer Attack
This…

This is thinking too far ahead!
Zhong Yao really didn't expect that Xing Daorong was fighting to the death in Tongguan while thinking about these things in his mind.

Get it clear!
With Sima Yi's army ahead of you, you can't even save your own life, so why are you still thinking about the affairs of the aristocratic family?

But there are some things that I can't help but mention.

As soon as it was mentioned, I started to calculate in my mind.

"Although Xing Daorong is an erratic person, his thoughts are indeed different from those of ordinary people."

"As for what he said...it does make some sense."

"Non-my family, its heart must be different."

"The movements of the alien races are quiet now, but if the Central Plains is empty, they will definitely attack each other."

"If what you said is true, then... the demise of the family may begin from now on."

Zhong Yao's idea was not bad. He never imagined that the Yongjia disaster would force the aristocratic families to migrate south to avoid disaster in the Central Plains.

After all, to put it bluntly, these foreign races are all tribal systems and have not yet established a feudal dynasty. They are completely different from the Central Plains dynasty. Zhong Yao would naturally follow Xing Daorong's thoughts.

only…

He knew the truth, but he had no way to deal with these things!

Without unification of the world, the war will continue unabated and there will be no solution.

However, Zhong Yao still looked a little unhappy because of what he said, and Xing Daorong could see the change in his expression clearly.

Originally, Xing Daorong just sighed casually, but when he saw that Zhong Yao was quite interested in it, he suddenly had a different idea.

But he said: "If I die here in battle, according to the brotherly love between my lord Liu Bei and me, he will definitely launch a full-scale attack on Northern Wei."

"By then, from Chang'an to Xuchang, from Xuchang to Pengcheng, and from Pengcheng to Jiangdong."

"It must be a chaotic battle, just like the scene in Tongguan today. I don't know how many places it happened in."

Zhong Yao felt that Xing Daorong's words were a bit exaggerated, but then he thought, if it were Liu Bei, he might really say so.

I thought that a big war would be a big war, and there would be a winner between the Northern Wei and the Later Han.

But now he is thinking that if the foreign race invades, then the aristocratic families in the world will be finished.

To put it bluntly, in the minds of many aristocratic families, it doesn't matter whether the Northern Wei or the Later Han wins, the only difference is how much profit they gain.

"So the general is thinking about these..."

Zhong Yao was led to think about the alien races by Xing Daorong's few words. He felt very uncomfortable for a moment, and after saying this, he didn't know what to say next.

Xing Daorong saw this and struck while the iron was hot, saying: "For now, Sima Yi's army can still resist, but when Cao Wei's troops come from the east, I'm afraid Tongguan will not be able to be defended."

"When that happens, you will just have to wish for the best for yourself. Think about where you can run to when the world is in chaos and foreign tribes come to attack."

"Other things... are not something you can think about."

Zhong Yao felt that Xing Daorong was exaggerating.

The world has been in chaos for thirty years, and countless heroes have died. But who could have such a big impact after his death?
But why do you say he is exaggerating?
Just to highlight your own importance?
At such a critical moment in Tongguan, all he was thinking about were these things, which made Zhong Yao feel that Xing Daorong couldn't be just imagining things.

It seems...

If Xing Daorong really died in the battle of Tongguan, the future would really become like this.

Originally, Zhong Yao was in the attitude of "minding his own business", but after listening to Xing Daorong's calculations, he suddenly felt that it actually had a great deal to do with him.

But what can I do in this situation?

Xing Daorong didn't seem to want to talk any more.

After resting for a while, Xing Daorong recovered some strength. He stood up, patted Zhong Yao and said, "Hey, I'm afraid I don't need to worry about these things. Lord Yuan Chang...you should worry about these troubles yourself." Xing Daorong's hands were very strong and Zhong Yao's arm was sore from the pat.

Although he didn't feel any pain in his body at the moment, his heart felt heavy.

I also have a feeling that it would be bad for Xing Daorong to die here.

...

Whether Xing Daorong would die in Tongguan depends on how fast Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei arrive, how much pressure Liu Bei puts on Chang'an, and how fast Cao's army arrives in the east.

And obviously, Liu Ye's speed of arrival will not be slow.

On the third day after Sima Yi's army arrived, scouts came to report to Xing Daorong, saying that Cao's army in the east had also arrived at the pass.

This is good, it’s a complete double-sided encirclement!

When Xing Daorong heard the news, he went from the west gate to the east gate. At a glance, he saw that the area outside the pass was densely packed with Cao's troops.

I thought to myself, I need to figure out who will lead the army.

He called out, "Who is the leader of the army at the pass?"

Although Liu Ye and Xing Daorong had not seen each other for many years, he still remembered vividly the scene when he was confronted by Liu Bei when he first went to see Liu Bei.

Back then, because of his surname "Liu", Xing Daorong ridiculed him and he was almost ashamed of himself. He finally returned to the north and adjusted his mentality a little. But when he saw Xing Daorong today, he remembered everything.

I thought I couldn't escape Xing Daorong's words today, but I had to bite the bullet and step forward and shout, "It's Liu Ye!"

really!

Xing Daorong laughed loudly: "Liu Ye! Cao Pi replaced the Han Dynasty, and you are still working for the Cao family!"

As mentioned earlier, Liu Ye was a descendant of Liu Yan, King of Fuling, the son of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu.

Later, after Cao Pi replaced the Han Dynasty, in the first year of Huangchu, he was named Shizhong and granted the title of Guannei Hou. Then in the first year of Taihe, he was promoted to Dongting Hou and given a fief of 100 households.

Anyway...

This guy is determined to follow Cao until the end.

This does not mean that Liu Ye rebelled against Tiangang and truly betrayed his ancestors.

To put it bluntly, the throne was abdicated by Liu Xie to Cao Pi.

If Liu Xie died to show his integrity, then it would be hard to say why Liu Ye still followed Cao blindly.

Now it was Liu Xie who gave up the throne himself. What does it have to do with Liu Ye?
However, facing Xing Daorong's questioning, Liu Ye did not want to explain.

He just replied indifferently: "Xing Daorong, stop talking nonsense. I will come to attack you in a moment. You just need to prepare well!"

Seeing this, Xing Daorong thought something was wrong.

It is said that this pass can be defended by one man against ten thousand, but it cannot be defended if it is attacked from both sides at the same time!
Besides, the main army cannot bypass the pass, but can individual scouts also bypass the pass?

By going around the Qinling Mountains, they can connect the information from the east and west sides of Tongguan. When the time comes, both sides can attack together. No matter how capable Xing Daorong is, he won't be able to take care of both ends.

This situation was somewhat troublesome, and Xing Daorong had no good solution for the time being.

Knowing that he might finally die in the battlefield, Xing Daorong gave it his all.

But he called out: "Liu Ye! I can't persuade you, look who this is!"

Liu Ye looked up and saw a familiar face. Who else could it be but Zhong Yao?

But he thought that Xing Daorong wanted to take Zhong Yao as a hostage, and shouted angrily: "Xing Daorong, you are so despicable as to take Lord Yuan Chang as a hostage!"
