Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 539 Xing Daorong is determined not to move
"Youping, are Cao's troops still challenging us outside the camp?"

However, when Cao Pi's army was coming, Xing Daorong did not move. He just sat in the tent with the generals.

Occasionally he asked Zhou Tai about the situation outside the camp.

Zhou Tai replied, "General, Cao Pi ordered his soldiers to take turns shouting and cursing in front of the gate in order to lure us into battle."

"But according to our scouts, Cao Pi has only about 10,000 troops here. If we attack with all our strength, we will surely win."

These words almost made Ma Chao's butt lift up again.

I think the opportunity is right now, so we should just attack!
But then he changed his mind and decided not to get involved at this moment. He just held his butt tightly and sat back down.

It's just that he wanted to go out and fight, but Xing Daorong had already planned to be a complete "coward", so how could he leave the camp?
He said, "Since Cao Pi can only challenge us, let's ignore him and wait until he really raises his army to attack us, and then we can respond."

Everyone knew that Xing Daorong had such a plan, so they nodded one after another.

So no matter how Cao Pi challenged him, Xing Daorong just stayed indoors and did not come out.

This was like Cao Pi hitting cotton with his fist. All his preparations were in vain, which was really annoying.

He immediately cursed in the army: "Xing Daorong is such a cowardly bandit!"

"Today my army is in front of us, but you just stay indoors and don't come out. Are you afraid of me?"

Gao Tanglong, who was listening nearby, thought to himself that he was probably not afraid of Your Majesty, but that he had calculated everything clearly!

All our little thoughts are under Xing Daorong's control!

However, Gao Tanglong only thought about these words in his mind. Although he was fighting outside, he could not explain everything clearly.

But he said: "Your Majesty! Today's plan has failed, so we can only retreat first and make plans later."

Gao Tanglong didn't say anything, but Xing Daorong probably knew what was on their side's mind, and he just wanted Cao Pi to withdraw his troops first.

Of course…

Cao Pi's plans failed many times, and he finally couldn't stand Xing Daorong anymore.

An idea came to my mind at this moment.

"Look at Xing Daorong... He looks down on me so much. If I really attack his camp, he will be unprepared. Can't I win in one battle?"

After this thought came up, Cao Pi could no longer suppress it.

He turned around and asked Gao Tanglong, "Where are Generals Zhang He and Xu Huang now?"

Gao Tanglong didn't think much about it and responded subconsciously: "We should ambush at the designated place."

After saying this, Cao Pi's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word for a long time.

broken!

Seeing this, I don’t know what Cao Pi is thinking now.

As for why Cao Pi was so bad when he started thinking about it, isn’t it because his ideas are generally not very good?

As expected, Cao Pi said, "Xing Daorong despises my troops and horses so much, I will teach him a lesson."

"Send Generals Zhang He and Xu Huang back with their troops, and I will attack their camp!"

This…

Gao Tanglong was horrified when he heard this.

But he called out: "Your Majesty...we are just feinting, don't take it seriously!"

Cao Pi seemed a little upset: "How can there be a certain outcome in war?"

"Xing Daorong is so arrogant today, with such a proud attitude. We should just charge into his camp and show him how powerful we are!"

"My dear minister, you don't know the art of war, so stop trying to persuade me!"

After that, he sent someone to call for Xu Huang and Zhang He to unite their forces and launch a strong attack! Gao Tanglong saw that things were not going well!
If we really break into the enemy camp and find traps and ambushes set inside, wouldn't Your Majesty be walking into a tiger's den?

If anything goes wrong...you'll probably end up with your head!

He immediately knelt down in front of Cao Pi and said, "Your Majesty! You must not do that!"

"Xing Daorong will not leave the camp. He must have set a trap in the camp, waiting for us to rush in!"

"Besides...Besides, if he doesn't move this time, he may have seen through our plan to lure the enemy. How can we kill him again?"

"Your Majesty! Please be patient and wait for another chance!"

Cao Pi was really a little dizzy at first, but after Gao Tanglong's earnest advice, he finally calmed down.

I think what he said makes sense. Even if we really want to attack Xing Daorong's camp, we can't be so impatient, right?
We should merge Cao Zhang's troops in Luoyang and launch a decisive attack.

Finally he nodded and said, "That's right. Even if we want to fight to the death, we can't be so impulsive."

"Let's stop fighting today and discuss it when we get back to camp."

When Gao Tanglong heard that Cao Pi had finally given up his impulsive thoughts, he felt relieved that he had escaped death!
He immediately shouted: "Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty is wise!"

Although Cao Pi felt a little better after hearing Gao Tanglong's flattery, it was only a little better.

The person in front of me, Xing Daorong, cannot be beaten, and cannot be lured out. It's so painful!

So he didn't say anything else and led his troops back to the camp.

...

As soon as Cao Pi retreated, the news naturally reached Xing Daorong's ears quickly.

In the big tent, everyone thought that Xing Daorong was going to wait out Cao Pi, but Xing Daorong heard it and said, "Mengqi, Cao Pi has already withdrawn, what are you waiting for?"

"Hurry up and get your troops and chase them down!"

Ma Chao was stunned when he heard this, thinking, it was you who asked me to wait before, and it is you who asked me to chase now, what do you want to do?

However, this thought only flashed through his mind, and immediately without any hesitation, he started to chase after him.

However, although Xing Daorong said he was anxious, his actions showed that he was not anxious at all.

Seeing that Ma Chao was about to leave, he grabbed him and said, "Mengqi, go back, but remember, you can only come back after hearing the three gong sounds!"

"Remember, remember, you must kill Cao's army the first time and the second time. You can only come back after the third time!"

Ma Chao was confused by this reminder, but when he saw Xing Daorong's extremely serious expression, Ma Chao nodded slightly, indicating that he had kept it in mind.

Seeing that Xing Daorong had no further instructions, he immediately led his troops to chase after them.

The rest of the people, seeing that Ma Chao had given military orders, looked at Xing Daorong expectantly, looking forward to their own mission.

However, Xing Daorong seemed to have already completed all the arrangements and looked like everything was going well.

Seeing the looks of the others, he even jokingly said, "Why? You all have a blood feud with the Cao family, so you want to disobey military orders and go and hunt down Cao Pi?"

what?
Disobeying military orders?

Which one is this from?
Everyone was stunned at first, but they quickly reacted.

They all laughed, knowing that Xing Daorong was going to take advantage of Cao Pi again.

But Cao Pi had no idea of ​​this. He saw that Ma Chao came rushing to attack him as soon as he retreated. His worry turned into joy. He was overjoyed to see that he had successfully lured the enemy!
But he said: "Hurry, hurry! Follow the strategy and lure Ma Chao into the ambush!"

Gao Tanglong was also very surprised. He didn't expect that Ma Chao would actually come out to kill him.

But this was part of the plan, so there was no need to think too much about it and I just followed the plan.
