Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 7 Liu Xian: What’s going on? Let me hear it.

The army was already defeated, so the atmosphere was bad.

Now they were arguing with each other again, and the atmosphere in the Lingling City Governor's Mansion was completely frozen.

Liu Du didn't know how to smooth things over.

In fact, he was also quite upset. After all, his son was still in Liu Bei's hands. Now he had suffered two consecutive defeats, and he was always feeling uneasy.

As for Zhao Fan, he came here to provide support, but lost the first battle and lost a general. He always felt bad.

In the end, they parted on bad terms, and no one mentioned how to resist Liu Bei's army anymore.

Perhaps these people have more or less intended to surrender.

Xing Daorong was keenly aware of this atmosphere and knew that he had few opportunities left.

I guess if he loses again, Liu Du will definitely not have the heart to resist.

These guys were actually just waiting for a good price.

If he could resist Liu Bei, his official position would definitely be promoted when Cao Cao came in the future.

In fact, although Cao Cao lost the Battle of Red Cliff, many people still believed that Cao Cao could unify the country. Besides, Cao Cao held the Han emperor in his hands and was the prime minister at the time. It was natural that it would be best to surrender to him.

But if we cannot win the battle now, there is no reason to really "sacrifice for the country".

Xing Daorong knew all these thoughts in his heart.
The atmosphere in Lingling was very stiff, but the atmosphere on Zhao Yun's side was completely different.

Holding Chen Ying in his hand, he walked quickly to the big tent in the camp.

But he shouted: "Military advisor, you have fulfilled your mission and captured the enemy general."

Zhuge Liang's voice came from inside: "Zilong, come quickly, the lord's military information is here, come and take a look."

When Zhao Yun heard this, he was inspired and hurried into the tent. As expected, he saw Zhuge Liang reading the letter.

I dare not act rashly and will wait until the military advisor has finished reading it.

But he looked at it for a while, then quickly walked to the sand table in the tent.

After several deductions, he laughed loudly and said, "Zilong, the land of Guiyang has fallen into the hands of the lord!"

Zhao Yun was delighted to hear this. Although he didn't know the specific situation, he thought it was impossible that Zhuge Liang was talking nonsense.

He was immediately happy and said, "That's great. To be honest, I was really scared when Xing Daorong led his troops to attack us. We only have 3,000 soldiers. If all the soldiers in Lingling City come out to attack us, we will be able to escape with you, the military advisor."

"Fortunately, Lingling Governor Liu Du didn't know the art of war, so he called back his troops and brought Xing Daorong back."

Chen Ying was tied to the ground. He was very surprised when he heard the conversation between Zhao Yun and Chen Ying.

original
It turns out there are only three thousand people here in total!

"Could it be that Xing Daorong has seen through Zhao Yun's bluff and is leading his troops to kill him?"

"It's a pity that Liu Du called him back. It's so depressing!"

Chen Ying felt very uncomfortable when he heard that!

I feel that Liu Du is really more of a hindrance than a help. It was a battle that he could clearly win, but he lost it to this guy.

I am even more worried about the situation in Guiyang.

According to what Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun said, Liu Bei's army has already reached Guiyang!
What a good thing!

Chen Ying felt very disappointed. It wasn't that he thought that the loss of Guiyang was a big deal, but if he heard these secrets, he would be doomed.

Fortunately, Zhuge Liang was not a murderous person.

He only glanced at himself and said, "I wanted to take Chen Ying back with me so that I could ask him to persuade Liu Du and Zhao Fan to surrender, but since he listened to what we said, we can't let him go."

"Just lock him up first and have someone keep an eye on him. Don't let him get away."

Zhao Yun nodded and immediately arrested Chen Ying, preparing to detain him. Chen Ying kept his head down, not daring to look at anyone.

Fearing that he would make eye contact, Zhuge Liang changed his mind and killed himself.

Although he was safe, Chen Ying missed the look that Zhuge Liang gave to Zhao Yun.

If he could see that look, he would know that there was something... fishy about this matter.

...

However, after Liu Xian was captured, although he felt that his life was not in danger, he was still a little worried because he was at the mercy of others.

When he heard that day that Zhao Yun's vanguard had defeated the Lingling army again, he felt even more uneasy.

I had some intention of surrendering, but I didn't know how to find someone to talk to.

You can't just shout that you want to surrender without anyone asking you, right?
That's too embarrassing!

I can only wait alone and see when Liu Bei will come to find me.

You can't just leave yourself alone all the time, right?

But what he never expected was that Liu Bei didn't wait for the person to come, but waited for a "companion" to come.

...

"Chen Ying, our lord has always been kind and benevolent. Although I have captured you, you don't have to worry about your life. I just have a few questions for you. Please answer them kindly."

Outside the tent, the sudden voice of Zhao Yun made Liu Du perk up.

He hurried to the side of the tent, but did not dare to show his face, so he just put his ear close to the ground and listened.

But then another trembling voice came: "General Zhao is brave and valiant, Lord Xuande is kind and righteous, so I surrender."

"General, if you have anything to say, just ask me. I will tell you everything I know."

Liu Xian frowned when he heard this.

I thought to myself, how could Chen Ying be so cowardly, surrendering just like that, and showing no backbone at all when he spoke!
He was completely unaware of this, and was thinking about when someone would come to persuade him to surrender.

What's more, they didn't know that Chen Ying surrendered so quickly because he had signed a military order, and he would not have a good ending if he returned...

Inside the tent, Liu Xian complained in his heart that Chen Ying was timid, but he eavesdropped even more carefully for fear of being discovered.

But Zhao Yun continued, "I want to ask, how many troops and horses are there in Lingling now?"

Chen responded quite quickly: "There are 5,000 troops and horses from Guiyang and more than 10,000 troops and horses from Lingling."

"Who is in charge of them all?" Zhao Yun asked directly.

Chen Ying said: "The troops of Guiyang should all be under the command of the governor Zhao Fan. As for the troops of Lingling... they are mainly led by Xing Daorong."

Although he didn't want to admit it, Xing Daorong was indeed doing better than himself.

Zhao Yun was not surprised at all, and said: "So, if we want to persuade Lingling to surrender, the key lies in Xing Daorong?"

Chen Ying hesitated for a moment and said, "That's not the case. As long as Governor Liu is willing to surrender, Xing Daorong will naturally follow."

Zhao Yun said in disbelief: "Oh? Is that true? Why did my military advisor Zhuge say that Governor Liu has no power? Could it be that the military advisor guessed wrong?"

Chen Ying was stunned when he heard this.

Although he did not think so, Zhuge Liang had made his statement outside, and it seemed that he had taken Guiyang by trickery. After all, his thinking was more accurate than his own.

He hurriedly said, "Perhaps...perhaps the situation has changed. Just as Zhuge Military Advisor predicted, General Xing has taken control of the army."

Liu Xian was shocked when he heard this.

How come Xing Daorong became the person in charge in just a few days?
Just as he was wondering what was going on, Zhao Yun said something shocking: "In that case... I will quickly ask the military advisor to write a letter and go find General Xing!"
