Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 526 Died before leaving the army

The appearance of Xing Daorong made Cao Xiu tense up.

He stared intently, calculating the distance between them.

He was thinking whether he could kill Xing Daorong if he suddenly attacked.

A little calculation...

I found that the distance between us was indeed a little far, so I had to look for another opportunity and not be impatient.

As soon as Xing Daorong opened his mouth, Cao Xiu broke out in a cold sweat.

...

"Everyone..."

"I am the great general of the Han Dynasty, Xing Daorong! I'm sure you all know my name already."

After saying that, Xing Daorong paused, as if listening to people's reactions.

The Cao army naturally knew the name of Xing Daorong.

Although I knew it, this was the first time I saw it from such a close distance.

Most dare not speak.

So Xing Daorong paused for a while before a few brave ones said hesitantly: "I have heard of the great name of the general. I surrender today. Thank you for taking me in."

Xing Daorong waited for a long time, and finally someone responded to him. He looked at the soldier with admiration and said, "Not bad, you are smart."

The soldier was overjoyed when he was praised.

He straightened his chest immediately and felt the envious gazes from the people around him.

A few smart people immediately echoed: "The general is kind and righteous! The general is kind and righteous!"

With a leader now in place, the other soldiers began to follow suit and shout together.

"The general is benevolent and righteous!"

"Ren Yi! Ren Yi!"

When Xing Daorong saw that the atmosphere was right, he felt that the time was almost right.

He called out: "Everyone, I know that we are not without moral integrity. It is just because we can't survive and are starving to death that we ran out of Guanzhong and came here!"

"To put it bluntly, it's just about asking for food and a way to survive."

Xing Daorong's words touched everyone's heart.

Everyone nodded silently, agreeing with it deeply.

They felt a little more at ease and couldn't help but think that today's choice was a good one, at least their lives were saved.

As for other favors...there is nothing more important than filling your stomach!

Just when the atmosphere was pretty good, Xing Daorong suddenly changed the subject and said, "We are just running away to save our lives, but there are still people who want us to die!"

"There is someone hiding among you, trying to launch a surprise attack on me!"

"Logically... we should kill you all without leaving a single one alive!"

"It's just that I have always been soft-hearted and don't want to hurt innocent people!"

"All of you, squat down with your hands on your heads. I'll find that guy, and then you can continue eating and drinking!"

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked, but subconsciously they did not dare to say another word, and just squatted down with their heads in their hands.

Cao Xiu in the crowd was even more shocked.

He knew that Xing Daorong was not talking about anyone else, but was targeting himself!

Could it be that Xing Daorong knew all of his plans?

But how could he know?
Could it be that there is a spy around me?
Cao Xiu thought for a while, but he knew that if he squatted down with his head in his hands, he would surely die!
If they just didn't follow suit and a few of them stood there, it would be even more obvious that something was wrong.

Faced with such an unsolvable situation, Cao Xiu had no time to think of a strategy and could only fight to the death!
But he shouted: "Xing Daorong! Look who I am!"

As he said that, he swung his knife to chop at him, fighting to the death. However, being forced to appear like this, how could he hurt Xing Daorong at all?

As soon as he appeared, generals Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin rushed to intercept him and immediately controlled Cao Xiu.

First, Zhou Tai held off Cao Xiu's attack with a sword, and then Jiang Qin kicked Cao Xiu in the heart, sending him flying.

The soldiers who had been prepared in the surrounding area rushed forward and immediately pinned Cao Xiu down.

This series of changes happened too quickly, and Xing Daorong's thorough preparation was beyond everyone's expectations.

The change was so rapid that even the assassins brought by Cao Xiu were unable to react.

At this moment, everyone was stunned and didn't even have a chance to fight back.

A few people who reacted and tried to snatch the people were shot dead on the spot by the archers arranged by Xing Daorong!

Even if there were some fish that slipped through the net after missing the target, they would not cause any trouble in front of Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin.

Cao Xiu's "desperate fight" in front of Xing Daorong showed that he was weak and vulnerable!
Seeing that the situation was settled, Xing Daorong didn't care about Cao Xiu's mood at all. He just said to everyone: "Today's situation has been settled. You can eat and drink in peace. After we take over the pass, we will make good arrangements and reward the three armies. Everyone will have a share."

When the surrendered soldiers saw that General Cao Xiu was among them, they were stunned.

When I saw him being tied up in a matter of seconds, I felt even more complicated.

There is no comparison, no way to compare!

How can you win by following a general like this?

I am being controlled everywhere, how can I win?

But these things... have nothing to do with these surrendered soldiers now.

At most, we can observe a moment of silence for the brothers who are still in Guanzhong.

...

But when Cao Xiu was caught, he was anxious and afraid. He wanted to yell something to Xing Daorong, but found that the guy ignored him.

Instead, there was a sudden fire in the military camp!
"Light the fire as a signal!"

"This guy even knew about the agreement between me and Ziwen. There must be... There must be a spy!"

Cao Xiu only thought that he was defeated by a traitor, but he had no idea that Xing Daorong was just guessing.

In those days... there were no pagers or telephones, so the only way to arrange a raid on a camp was to light a fire!
There is no need for a traitor at all. Anyone who has served in the military knows this.

At that moment, fires broke out in the camp. Cao Zhang, who had secretly dispatched troops out of the pass, saw it and did not dare to hesitate, so he sent his troops to attack.

After walking for a while, they arrived at the big camp.

Just as he was about to shout at the top of his lungs, "Xing Daorong is dead, everyone follow me to kill him," he heard a loud drumbeat in the camp, and suddenly the camp gates opened, and two groups of soldiers rushed out.

The one leading the charge was Zhang Liao!
Zhang Liao and Cao Zhang were not very familiar with each other, but they knew each other.

Now that the two of them were on the battlefield, Zhang Liao said, "Cao Zhang, you have fallen into a trap. Surrender now!"

Cao Zhang could not agree to this and was furious: "What a Zhang Liao! How dare you, a mere surrendered general, stand here and make such a fuss!"

Although Zhang Liao had some friendship with Cao Zhang in the past and still remembered some of their friendship, they were now serving different masters after all.

Since Cao Zhang refused to listen, he rushed forward to kill him.

Suddenly, drums sounded and soldiers and horses came out from all directions.

However, the battle in front of the camp is not the key. The key is that if Cao Zhang’s troops are all out, can Hangu Pass still be defended?
In fact, Cao Zhang knew very well that he had been tricked this time.

One could only hope that Xing Daorong had not thought of taking advantage of the situation to break into the pass, and immediately ordered his troops to withdraw quickly.

only…

Just thinking about withdrawing from under Zhang Liao's nose is not an easy task.

Not to mention that Xing Daorong's arrangements were so careful, how could he not launch a surprise attack on Hangu Pass?
