Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 86: Spreading Rumors in Jiangdong
Inside the tent, Xing Daorong and Zhuge Liang mourned Pang Tong, calmed down, and finally started talking about business.

At present, the conquest of Yizhou has reached the point of victory.

In the end, the only thing standing in Liu Bei's way was Chengdu.

However, how to get Liu Zhang to surrender still requires some thought.

That’s right, these two people didn’t even think about winning or losing, but only about how to get Liu Zhang to open the city and surrender as soon as possible.

Zhuge Liang asked, "The army is now surrounding Chengdu. Ziyu, do you think we can lead the whole army to attack it?"

Xing Daorong rubbed his head and felt that his mind was still quite clear, so he replied: "Chengdu is already an isolated city. If you force it, I'm afraid it will do something desperate."

"Liu Zhang is now doomed. We can just surround him without attacking him, and he will fall into internal chaos."

Zhuge Liang heard this and said, "I originally had this idea, but the situation cannot wait."

As soon as these words came out, Xing Daorong sobered up completely. He suddenly stood up and asked, "Could it be that Hanzhong and Jingzhou are both in trouble?"

Xing Daorong is still very sensitive.

It is impossible that something went wrong on one side to make Zhuge Liang so anxious.

As expected, Zhuge Liang looked at him with admiration and said without any nonsense: "Cao Cao has defeated Ma Chao, and Ma Chao went to Hanzhong. With no way to retreat, he is attacking Nanzheng."

What?
And this thing?

Cao Cao didn't come to fight, but Ma Chao came to fight?
So when Zhang Lu was still in Hanzhong, didn't Ma Chao surrender to Zhang Lu?
How come this happened when Liu Bei took over?

Is it that the Emperor's uncle's fate is destined to be filled with setbacks and cannot be smooth sailing?
Xing Daorong cursed inwardly, but said in a strange tone, "If Ma Chao attacks Nanzheng again, he will be in a desperate situation. What is he trying to achieve?"

Zhuge Liang said: "I guess they thought Nanzheng was a newly occupied territory, so they wanted to attack it. Fortunately, Han Sheng has defended the city and has not lost a single point."

Xing Daorong then said, "Ma Chao and Cao Cao have an irreconcilable feud. He will certainly surrender to the lord, but if Cao Cao comes to kill us later, how to resist him will be a problem."

"If you can go, Ma Chao will certainly surrender. But if Liu Zhang wants to surrender here, you must be here. You are too busy to do anything. What should we do?"

Zhuge Liang said, "I have sent the letter to Hanzhong. As for how to deal with Cao Cao later, we still need to make plans."

"The three eastern counties are still in Zhang Lu's hands. I wanted Han Sheng to seize the opportunity to attack them, but I'm afraid there is no chance now."

It is a great pity that we failed to capture the three eastern counties.

The reason was that Liu Bei was left with too little time.

After taking over Nanzheng, they should have taken advantage of the victory to directly wipe out Zhang Lu and completely close the gate to Hanzhong.

But Yizhou was too important, and this basic base in the rear area must not have any problems. This gave Zhang Lu a chance to survive.

"What happened in Jingzhou?" Hearing that Hanzhong was relatively stable, Xing Daorong knew that was not the key. The key was still in Jiangdong.

As expected, Zhuge Liang said, "Zilong sent a letter saying that Sun Quan's special envoy, a trusted general, pretended that the Queen Mother was critically ill and wanted to see her daughter, so he took the princess back to Dongwu overnight and took Ah Dou with him."

"Fortunately, De Zilong discovered it and intercepted Jiang, so it didn't turn into a big mistake."

"I guess that Dongwu's move is intended to attack Jingzhou again, so I asked Madam to return to Dongwu first."

It turned out that when Sun Quan learned that Liu Bei had attacked Hanzhong and Yizhou successively, he began to have ideas about Jingzhou again.

It was only when Wu Guotai said that her own daughter was in Jing that she began to reprimand him again and again.

Sun Quan had no choice but to come up with this plan based on Zhang Zhao's suggestion.

He sent a trusted general named Zhou Shan to sneak into Jingzhou, deliver a secret letter to the princess, and take her back to Dongwu overnight. He also wanted to see his nephew.

Xuande had only one son in his life, so he asked him to bring him along.

At that time, Xuande would definitely exchange Jingzhou for Adou.

If not, what's the problem with mobilizing troops? We can send out a large army to attack Jingzhou!

Sun Quan followed the plan, and that led to the incident where Zhao Yun intercepted the river and captured A Dou.

Xing Daorong couldn't help but curse when he heard this: "Sun Quan is really a rat, he doesn't have the bravery of his father at all!"

"Back in Jiangdong, I discussed the pros and cons with Sun Quan. The only correct thing to do is to focus on conquering Hefei."

"But he chose to take some crooked and unorthodox paths, which is really hateful!"

Zhuge Liang said: "We cannot start a conflict with Dongwu today. Since Adou is fine, let's just forget about it. But we have to be on guard against the people in Jiangdong."

Xing Daorong frowned.

In fact, before he traveled through time, he felt that the three kingdoms were all fighting for their own survival and great cause, so even if the strategies they used were really despicable, he could still accept it.

But now that I have traveled through time and am sitting on Liu Bei's side, I begin to feel that Sun Quan is really intolerable.

"You keep looking for trouble, are you still an ally?"

"We have to give him something to do!"

Thinking in this way, Xing Daorong's thinking began to broaden.

As we all know, Sun Quan inherited the territory and power of his brother Sun Ce, and later became the Emperor of Sun Wu.

But Sun Ce has a son. Although his son is very young now, he is still a son.

No one can deprive a child of his legitimate right of inheritance.

After thinking for a while, Xing Daorong said immediately: "Military Advisor, as the saying goes, if the enemy is unkind, I will not be righteous. Since Sun Quan is unruly, we don't need to be polite to him."

"You can have people spread rumors in Jiangdong, saying that Sun Quan is incompetent and foolish, and that they are remembering the bravery of Bo Fu in the past, and hope that when Sun Shao comes of age, he can replace Sun Quan as the leader."

"If this happens, there will be a great chaos in Jiangdong, and we will no longer be able to think about taking Jingzhou."

"It won't damage the foundation of the Eastern Wu, so that Cao Cao won't take advantage of the situation and annex Jiangdong."

Xing Daorong felt that his idea was very good, although it was very likely to pit Sun Shao, but.
Who cares?

But after he finished speaking, he saw Zhuge Liang's eyes looking straight at him.

Being stared at like this by Zhuge Liang really made people feel a little uneasy. Xing Daorong couldn't help but ask awkwardly: "Why is Kong Ming looking at me like this?"

Zhuge Liang then smiled awkwardly and said, "I didn't expect that Zi Yu would also think about human nature in this way."

Xing Daorong could tell that Zhuge Liang's words seemed to have a hidden meaning.

But his idea was really simple, he just wanted to cause some trouble for Sun Quan.

Just as he was about to explain, Zhuge Liang stood up and said, "Zi Yu, this is a brilliant plan. I will go and tell my lord about it and send someone to Jiangdong soon."

After saying that, he walked out of Xing Daorong's tent, leaving Xing Daorong with a puzzled expression.

Little did he know that Zhuge Liang stopped as soon as he left the tent and secretly sighed: "Zi Yu is brave and resourceful, and he knows people's hearts. With him assisting the young master in the future, the Han Dynasty will not have to worry about surviving another 30 years."

"The great Han dynasty has a successor of loyal and virtuous people. This is very good."

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang's steps became lighter and he went straight to find Liu Bei.

PS: Update instructions are posted online. Generally, there will be three updates a day (try to keep to the old time). Of course, if I can write more, I will definitely update more.

In special circumstances, such as when I am busy in real life, I will try my best to update twice. If it is really not possible (such as taking care of children, being sick, working overtime, etc.), I will ask for leave in advance. I would like to thank all the bosses for their strong support. Thank you very much.
