Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 73 It’s time to make a contribution!

The strongholds of Generals Ling Bao and Deng Xian are really difficult to attack.

Seeing Liu Bei and Xing Daorong coming, the two generals stayed indoors and focused on defending their positions.

The military strength was originally about the same, and Zhang Ren and the other two were in the city ready to provide support at any time, so it was really difficult to deal with.

Liu Bei and Xing Daorong also attacked the village once.

But in the end, it was unsuccessful.

time is life!

If they were stuck here, and Cao Cao had really dealt with Ma Chao, and turned back with the defeated Zhang Lu to attack Hanzhong, then Liu Bei would be in real danger!
Therefore, seeing that he was losing power repeatedly, Liu Bei became a little anxious.

In this war where we only have support from the rear and cannot hold out in the front, even if we have thousands of plans, we cannot defeat the enemy's iron barrel formation!
He said that it was Pang Tong who had no good plan at the moment.

...

Seeing everyone in distress, Xing Daorong thought, isn't it time for him to make a contribution?
Most people might be afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind, but Xing Daorong is not afraid!

Seeing Liu Bei worried, Xing Daorong suggested: "My lord, imagining things is not a good strategy after all."

"In this case, we might as well fight to the death. There is still a chance that this battle will decide the outcome."

"Although Generals Ling Bao and Deng Xian lead a large army, they don't have many generals under their command. As the saying goes, to capture a thief, you must first capture the leader. If we can capture these two generals, we can break the enemy camp."

Liu Bei knew that Xing Dao was right.

If you can capture the enemy general, you can naturally defeat the enemy in one battle.

How could it be an easy task to just take the head of an enemy general amidst thousands of soldiers?
Liu Bei sighed and said, "This plan is too dangerous. Who can kill the general?"

Xing Daorong said quickly: "I am willing to lead a thousand elite soldiers to kill the general."

Liu Bei was not surprised.

Every time, even the most dangerous mission, Xing Daorong would do it without hesitation.

However, this time the risk was too great, so Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Absolutely not!"

"Not to mention that you are still injured, even if you weren't injured, this is not allowed!"

Xing Daorong looked anxious, and he grabbed Liu Bei and said, "My lord! If you are determined to break through the enemy's line of defense, you will die!"

"If you are afraid of death while marching in battle, you might as well go home and farm!"

"Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, we must give it a try. Otherwise, once Cao Cao kills Ma Chao, Hanzhong will be in danger!"

Liu Bei still shook his head and said: "Don't be hasty, there must be a better way to defeat the enemy."

Seeing that Liu Bei did not respond and was determined, Xing Daorong was helpless.

The feeling of wanting to risk one's life but being unable to do so... made Xing Daorong very unhappy.

But Liu Bei refused to listen and there was nothing that could be done.

All we can do is "wait and see how things develop and wait for the right time."

As a result, this visit did not bring any other results, but it did bring the news of Cao Cao's victory.

Under Lou Gui's strategy of pouring water to build an ice city, Cao Cao's army was able to cross the Weishui River in batches. The Ma-Han coalition challenged Cao Cao several times, but Cao Cao simply refused to fight. The coalition could only ask for land cession and send hostages to ask for peace.

Cao Cao adopted Jia Xu's strategy, pretended to agree, and then talked and laughed with Han Sui in front of the formation, using a strategy of sowing discord.

Due to the disunity among the people, the Xiliang warlords were defeated. Although they have not yet collapsed, it is only a matter of time before they do.

This time, Liu Bei really couldn't wait any longer.

The time gained by Xing Daorong's rapid capture of Hanzhong has now been wasted. If he does not make a decision, when he has to face Liu Zhang and Cao Cao together, Liu Bei will collapse!

So Xing Daorong suggested trying his "strategy of capturing the king" again.

During this period, Liu Bei's army did not gain much. Liu Bei had no choice but to agree to Xing Daorong's request to fight.

But before leaving, you have to give many instructions.

...

"Zi Yu, if you can't accomplish anything after this trip, don't force it."

As Liu Bei spoke, his expression was filled with worry, almost catching up with Fan Yufeng's concern for him.

No matter what Liu Bei's reputation is in everyone's mind, Xing Daorong truly feels Liu Bei's concern at this moment.

Of course, Liu Bei didn't know the real purpose of Xing Daorong's "sacrificing his life and shedding his blood", he just thought that he was loyal and righteous. It was understandable that he was moved.

Xing Daorong agreed on the surface, but in his heart he was ready to risk his life.

He had already earned the title of general, and as long as Liu Bei did not fall, he would surely be able to leave Fan Yufeng a stable second half of her life.

at the moment…

It's time to make your own contribution!

His face straightened, and he said to Liu Bei: "My lord, in this battle, Xing is determined to fight to the death. Even if it costs me my life, I will fight to kill Ling Bao and Deng Xian!"

"But if something unexpected happens, please take good care of my family for me."

As he spoke, he took out a letter.

"My lord, if anything happens to me, please give this letter to my wife."

Suicide note!
When Liu Bei read the letter, he felt even more depressed.

Now that this thing has been taken out, it can be seen that Xing Daorong is ready to sacrifice his life.

He immediately regretted it, but felt that there should be another way to deal with this matter, and he should not let the general take such a risk.

to be honest.

Liu Bei felt that compared with breaking through the Luo County defense line, it would be a great loss to lose Xing Daorong here.

But due to the current situation and Xing Daorong's eagerness to fight, Liu Bei finally accepted the letter and put it in his arms.

He patted Xing Daorong's arms with both hands, stared into his eyes and said, "Zi Yu, no matter what, your safe return is the most important thing!"

Liu Bei's eyes were very serious, which made Xing Daorong nod his head.

The two were silent, yet it seemed as if they had explained everything to each other.

...

After finally deciding on the tactics, Xing Daorong quickly took action.

He selected a thousand elite soldiers and led them personally to prepare for the decapitation operation.

Just as he was thinking about more details, Wei Yan heard the news from somewhere and insisted on joining in.

In fact, not many people knew about Xing Daorong's plan to carry out the "decapitation operation", or even very few people knew about it.

One reason is the fear of leaks.

Secondly, this trip is a life-threatening one after all. If an accident occurs, it will easily affect morale, which is not appropriate.

It’s better to just go to the battlefield and do it.

Third, the more people know about it, the more interference there will be.

For example, if Bao Long knew about this, he would definitely follow.

Since even Bao Long kept it a secret, it would be strange for Wei Yan to know about it.

However, Xing Daorong still wanted to keep Wei Yan to help Zhuge Liang in the future. It would not be a good thing for him to die with him in Luo County.

Regardless of where he got the information, he directly rejected it, saying, "Ridiculous! As a general, you should listen to your lord's orders. Why are you following my lead?"

Xing Daorong's face was full of impatience, thinking that this would be enough to discourage Wei Yan.

Unexpectedly, Wei Yan said: "It was the lord who told me about this matter, so I must protect the general and keep him safe!"

It turns out that it was Liu Bei who said it.

No wonder the confidentiality work was done so well that Wei Yan was able to get this news.

Since it was Liu Bei who asked, Xing Daorong had no choice but to agree.

But he said: "In this case, Wenchang, please stay with me. Don't act rashly when the time comes."

As Xing Daorong spoke, he thought that if he really encountered danger, he could still help Wei Yan block it.

Anyway, if I block it, I can be reincarnated, so it would be a waste of time for Wei Yan to die.

But Wei Yan had no idea of ​​this and thought it was just an ordinary instruction, so he just nodded in agreement.
