Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 5 Liu Du, what a good thing you have done!
However, Xing Daorong was naturally depressed because he failed to defeat both Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei.

It was just that other people naturally thought that Xing Daorong was unhappy because he had lost the battle, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

When Liu Du returned to Lingling, he had already received the news.

When he saw Xing Daorong returning in defeat, he stood in front of the city gate to greet him without a trace of blame.

When Xing Daorong saw Liu Xian, he immediately dismounted and bowed, saying, "Governor, I have returned with a defeated army. Please punish me."

Liu Du helped Xing Daorong up and said with some emotion: "General Xing, I know everything, I know everything!"

"You are loyal to the Han Dynasty and fought to the death for the people of Lingling. Even if you are defeated, how can I blame you?"

"Come with me into the city, and we will discuss this matter."

Liu Du said this, and directly helped Xing Daorong up, and the two of them entered the city side by side.

Inside the city, many people were standing on both sides of the street, cheering for Xing Daorong.

"General Xing! General Xing!"

This simple call made Xing Daorong's heart twitch.

"I just want to give myself away"

“Why is the public sentiment like this?”

Little did he know that his passionate words to Liu Bei had spread from the battlefield to Lingling County.

No matter what year it is, loyal and righteous people are the most admired. Therefore, although they were defeated, the people in Lingling City were still loyal.

And it would be a lie for Xing Daorong to say that he was not touched at all.

We are all made of flesh and blood, how can we be without any emotions?

He felt depressed for a moment, not knowing what to do. Just as he was thinking over and over again, Liu Du had already led Xing Daorong into the prefect's mansion.

As the two walked, Liu Du said, "General, we have been defeated for a while, and Xian'er has been captured. Do we still have the strength to fight?"

The war must be fought.

If Liu Du surrenders, how can I fight and how can I die?

He immediately responded, "Prefect, although the virtuous young master has been captured, his life is safe. Liu Bei wants to annex Jingnan, so he must not kill people at will. It would be better for everyone to fight to the death, so as not to surrender and be killed."

"As for the troops and horses, although our army is defeated, its morale is still there, so there is no need for you to worry."

Liu Du was delighted when he heard this and said, "Great! I knew that General Xing would not admit defeat, but my county does not have enough troops and horses, so I am afraid it will be difficult for him to match."

Xing Daorong was afraid that Liu Du would be scared and surrender directly, so he said: "We can fortify the city and clear the fields, so that Liu Bei cannot easily break into the city. If we hold on, when the time comes, Xiangyang and Nanyang may change again, and Liu Bei will return."

After saying that, Liu Du suddenly smiled.

There was actually a smug look on Governor Liu's face!

Xing Daorong was wondering why Liu Du looked like that, but then he told him some "bad news".

"My county is short of soldiers and horses, but if we can unite with the other three counties in southern Jing, we will have more soldiers and more generals!"

"Guiyang Governor Zhao Fan has arrived at the Governor's Mansion today, and is waiting for the general to return to discuss the war!"

"General, you have worked hard. It won't be too late to go back and rest after the battle!"

After saying that, Liu Du took Xing Daorong's hand, quickened his pace, and walked quickly into the mansion.

When he entered the palace, he saw Zhao Fan, the governor of Guiyang, sitting on his seat, with two generals standing behind him.

Seeing Liu Du and Xing Daorong enter, Zhao Fan immediately stood up and stepped forward and said, "Jie Zheng, is this General Xing?"

Jie Zheng is Liu Du's courtesy name. Xing Daorong was a little surprised to hear Zhao Fan call Liu Du by his courtesy name. He didn't expect the two to have such a good relationship. He was just thinking about whether the relationship between the two was written in the Three Kingdoms, when he saw Liu Du pulling him and introducing him, "This is General Xing."

When Zhao Fan heard this, he bowed and said, "Guiyang Governor Zhao Fan, I have long heard of General Xing's reputation. Seeing him today, I find that his reputation is well-deserved."

Xing Daorong quickly helped Zhao Fan up and said, "You don't have to do this, Governor. It's just a small name, not worth mentioning."

Zhao Fan then pulled the two generals beside him and said, "These two are my trusted generals, the military lieutenants Chen Ying and Bao Long."

have to.
The Five Tigers of Southern Jing, including the captured Liu Xian, now make four of them.

But when Xing Daorong took a quick look, he saw that Chen Ying and Bao Long did not look very happy.

It turned out that both of them were hunters from the Lingshan Village in Guiyang. Chen Ying was good at using a flying fork, and Bao Long had shot and killed two tigers.

The two men were proud of their bravery and were rough men, so they naturally disliked Xing Daorong, who had suffered a defeat but won Zhao Fan's appreciation because of a few words.

He just put on a stern face and bowed, and that was considered a greeting.

As they are all members of the "Jingnan Five Tigers", no one should look down on anyone. Although Xing Daorong saw that these two people were not very happy with him, he did not care much.

He was just wondering why Zhao Fan came here, and he had a bad premonition.

I sat down with a lot on my mind, but I heard Liu Du say, "This time, Governor Fan personally led 5,000 soldiers to help us fight against Liu Bei."

The real union is here!

Liu Du, ah Liu Du, how come you are so capable!

Xing Daorong suddenly felt a little tired. He just wanted to reincarnate as soon as possible. Why was it so difficult?
Zhao Fan is also capable enough, and he comes to help when he is asked to.

He brought Generals Chen Ying and Bao Long here with him.

But if this is the case, wouldn't Guiyang be empty?
Xing Daorong naturally didn't want Fan Yang to get involved.

You just want to die. Those of you who need to surrender should surrender, and those who need to compromise should compromise. Why are you joining in the fun?
Xing Daorong was immediately "shocked" and said: "I really admire the righteousness of the Zhao governor, but..."

"In this case, Guiyang will be empty. What if Liu Bei turns around and attacks Guiyang?"

Zhao Fan was not panicked at all, he just smiled and said: "If he dares to invade Guiyang, our army will just cut off his retreat, and he will surely die."

Xing Daorong curled his lips when he heard this.

If only it were that simple.

I’m afraid that by then we won’t be able to rescue them in time and my home will be robbed.

Seeing Zhao Fan's plan, Xing Daorong could not help but frown and said, "Zhao Taishou, this is too risky. If Guiyang is lost, we will be worried."

Xing Daorong really wanted to persuade Zhao Fan to go back.

Although the 5,000 troops he brought would not have much impact on the battle situation, they would at least be an obstacle to his own death.

Besides, if the other two counties follow his bad example, it would be even worse.

Unfortunately, Zhao Fan didn't appreciate it at all.

He just smiled and said, "General Xing, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Please stop trying to persuade us. As long as we defeat Liu Bei here, everything will be fine."

On the side, Chen Ying saw that his own governor always greeted Xing Daorong with a smile and spoke in a humble manner, and he suddenly felt unhappy.

But he said, "General Xing, are you afraid of Liu Xuande after losing a battle?"

Chen Ying was quite good at talking. He deliberately mentioned that Xing Daorong had returned from a defeated battle.

I thought Xing Daorong would be angry after hearing this, but I didn't expect him to be so calm. He just looked at me and said, "Oh? So, does General Chen have any good strategy to deal with the enemy?"
