Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 455: The End of Xing Daorong
Liu Ye subconsciously thought that this was Xing Daorong forcing Zhong Yao to stay at the critical moment.

But after I cursed, I realized that something was wrong.

Zhong Yao's face changed, and he hesitated. However, after looking at Xing Daorong, he still said to Liu Ye, "Zi Yang...it wasn't General Xing who forced me to do this."

"I am here today just to see the fierce fighting at the front pass, and to advise Ziyang not to kill too cruelly."

Liu Ye was completely confused when he heard that.

I thought to myself that Zhong Yao must have been bewitched and was actually speaking for Xing Daorong.

Could this be a surrender?

But judging from Zhong Yao's appearance, he doesn't seem like he would surrender to Xing Daorong!

He immediately called out, "Lord Yuan Chang! When leading troops into battle, you must not be soft-hearted. Don't say any more today. Just be careful!"

Zhong Yao sighed when he heard this, but said, "General Xing, it looks like it's time to fight to the death again."

Seeing that Zhong Yao could say something to him at this time, Xing Daorong felt that he had already fooled him.

If he had transmitted his thought of "the snipe and the clam fighting in the Central Plains while the fishermen of other races benefit" through Zhong Yao before his death, even if it was just a thought left behind, it could be said to have benefited the Han people in later generations.

In this way, Zhong Yao absolutely cannot die.

Then he said, "Lord Yuan Chang... Tongguan is being attacked from two sides. I can only defend it for ten days at most. You should not stay here, lest you be injured by mistake by the swords."

"Just wait quietly inside the pass and watch our elite troops fight to the death. When the foreign race attacks us in the future, they can just feel sorry for us."

Xing Daorong's words are very magical.

The more Zhong Yao listened, the more he felt that something truly horrific might happen in the future.

But at the moment, Cao and Liu were evenly matched, and it was obvious that neither of them would give up, so he could only nod and let it go without further thought.

...

Liu Ye always does what he says.

A moment later, the army began to attack the enemy eagerly.

fortunately…

Liu Ye and Sima Yi had not yet contacted each other, so they did not switch on and off together.

Otherwise, Xing Daorong would really be gone...

So there was another bloody battle in Tongguan.

There is no need to elaborate on the process, but Xing Daorong was always able to handle the attack from one side.

However, how could the deafening sound of killing in Tongguan be hidden from the eyes and ears of Sima Yi on the other side?

However, Sima Yi heard it clearly during the Battle of Tongguan.

I immediately realized that Liu Ye’s troops had arrived!
The depression of not being able to succeed in the previous battle was swept away, and he was overjoyed: "Liu Ye has arrived, this is the day when Xing Daorong will die!"

"All the generals, listen to my command. Attack the pass now and capture Xing Daorong alive!"

"You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you're dead!"

After Sima Yi finished his call, all the generals bowed in submission and vowed to capture Xing Daorong!

Sima Yi was also full of confidence and felt that today would be the day to capture Tongguan and kill Xing Daorong!

Just as he was about to lead his troops to attack, he suddenly heard a soldier running in from outside. He shouted as soon as he entered the tent, "General! News has come from Chencang that Liu Bei's army has marched out in full force, tens of thousands of soldiers have regrouped, and are heading towards Chang'an again."

"There are two other troops, led by Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun. They did not follow Liu Bei's army. Perhaps they are heading...to Tongguan."

"General Cao Xiu sent me a letter asking if we should rob and kill him on the way."

These pieces of news made Sima Yi's excited expression suddenly turn a little ugly.

Zhang Fei ran so smoothly that Liu Bei's reaction was several days faster than he had imagined!

I originally thought... Cao Xiu's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were chasing after Zhang Fei. Even if they couldn't catch him... at least they could create some trouble for Zhang Fei and prevent him from finding Liu Bei's army so easily.

The result was good. Cao Xiu did not work hard, which caused no trouble for Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei found Liu Bei directly, and Liu Bei sent troops so quickly.

"Everyone in the Cao family is...really incompetent!"

While secretly cursing Cao Xiu in his heart, Sima Yi also knew that, to be honest, the root of all this actually came from Xing Daorong.

If Xing Daorong had not fled to Tongguan and Zhang Fei had been left there alone, none of these things would have happened.

They had already broken through the pass and recaptured Tongguan, forcing Liu Bei to withdraw his troops.

How can I just give myself a few days now?
...

Sima Yi's expression changed, and so did his generals.

Xu Huang, who was the vanguard, was defeated and his food and grass were seized. He felt that he had missed the important task, but he said: "General, Chang'an must be defended. I will go back to defend the city. I don't need any soldiers. I can only rely on the garrison left in the city to stop Liu Bei."

Sima Yi's army was coming, so naturally they couldn't leave a single soldier behind in the city.

It's just that if they were left behind, then only some of the "old, weak, sick and disabled" were left behind. Some were injured or disabled in the previous battle, and some were weak to begin with.

Anyway...

They are just some slightly weaker soldiers, and it can even be said that they have little combat effectiveness.

When Xu Huang said he didn't want any troops, he meant that he wanted to go back and fight to the death.

However, Sima Yi was not in a hurry.

He just said: "If we take Tongguan within three days, we will still have time to return to Chang'an."

"It will be useless if you go back alone. It is better to fight to the death in Tongguan."

"If you can take it, then we don't need to talk about this battle anymore, everything is settled."

"If we can't get it... then let's go and apologize to His Majesty together!"

When Xu Huang heard this, he didn't mention it any more.

Yu Jin on the side said, "In that case, we should quickly mobilize our troops to attack the pass. While the east is attacking, we can attack together. Maybe we can break through the pass today!"

Sima Yi had exactly this in mind!
Not to mention, he and Yu Jin really get along well with each other.

I don’t know if it’s because they both suffered suppression from Cao Pi, but the two of them appreciate each other and have similar thinking.

He nodded vigorously, and without saying anything else, he each selected his troops and charged towards the pass!

Attacked from both sides, Xing Daorong's doom seems to be today!
...

Xing Daorong knew better than anyone how critical his situation was.

So when facing Liu Ye's army, Xing Daorong wanted to delay.

Seeing that he couldn’t delay any longer… he knew that he only had one chance!

We must take the initiative while Sima Yi has not made any move yet, so as to prevent Liu Ye from cooperating.

Persimmons should be picked soft and pinched.

Compared with Sima Yi, Liu Ye is obviously the soft persimmon.

But to be honest, Xing Daorong is the meat on the chopping board.

But now this piece of meat of his is ready to bite people!
He ordered the soldiers to guard the pass, and selected two hundred elite soldiers, saying, "Everyone... Liu Ye today is not a general. He attacked the pass in front of the army because he thought we dared not go out!"

"In that case, let's catch him off guard!"

"I don't know if any of you have ever fought with me, Xing Daorong. It's always a death sentence!"

"If we defeat Liu Ye today, we will still have a chance to survive. If we don't, we will die in misery inside the pass!"

"For your own sake and for the country, follow me to fight my way out of the pass and capture Liu Ye alive!"

Xing Daorong naturally couldn't just sit there and wait for death, so he shouted loudly and was about to break out of the pass!
