Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 97: The Villain's Plan
If we talk about the people who least want Xing Daorong to succeed these days, one is Peng Ying from Chengdu, and the other is Yang Song from Fang Ling.

Peng Ying received a transfer order after Xing Daorong left.

He was sent to Jingzhou to be appointed as a county magistrate.

Peng Ying was a native of Xichuan. He went to Jingzhou because, firstly, it was not his home and he didn't want to go there at all. Secondly, it was far away from the political core and he would obviously be alienated.

As for the reason, you can figure it out using your toes.

It’s all because of Xing Daorong!

If you provoke him once, you will be sent away.

Peng Ying felt that he could not live like this any longer and wanted to leave Liu Bei's camp immediately.

But since I have to leave, I have to cause some trouble for Xing Daorong.
After Cao Cao defeated Ma Chao, he returned to his base camp because of the rebellion in Hejian.

All matters in the west were handed over to the "Commander-in-Chief of the West", Protector General Xiahou Yuan.

He also had generals such as Zhang He, Xu Huang, and Zhu Ling under his command.

I have to say that in terms of personnel allocation, Cao Wei does have much more than Shu Han.

At this moment, Xiahou Yuan received the news that Liu Bei's army was marching out to attack the three eastern counties.

Not only Liu Bei knew the importance of the geography of the three eastern counties, but Cao Cao also knew it.

But right now, suppressing the rebellion is the top priority, so I don’t have time to bother with that.

Cao Cao didn't have time to care about it, but Xiahou Yuan did!

When he got the news that day, he called everyone together and said, "General Liu Bei is heading east to attack Fangling County. I have received Fangling's request for help. I want to go to rescue him as soon as possible. What do you think?"

One of the generals under his command, Lu Zhao, stepped forward and advised: "Don't mobilize troops rashly without the order from the Prime Minister."

Xiahou Yuan shook his head and said, "The Prime Minister is in Yecheng, and the journey back and forth is 4,000 miles. By the time he receives the order, Kuai Qi and others will surely be defeated. Therefore, this move is not suitable for emergency relief."

"Since Fang Ling has come to ask for help today, I cannot ignore him. I will write him a letter first, asking him to resist well and wait for me to bring troops to rescue him."

When the generals heard this, they saw that Xiahou Yuan had made up his mind and did not try to persuade him any more. They just organized their troops and prepared for battle, waiting to go out.

...

In the county of Fangling.

After Zhang Wei and Yang Song sent the letter, they knew that even if Xiahou Yuan moved as fast as possible, he would not arrive in three days.

They discussed with each other, but heard Zhang Wei say: "I think the governor has already intended to surrender the city, what should we do now?"

Yang Song said: "It will only take half a month for Cao's army to come to rescue us. It should be more than enough for Fangling to defend for half a month."

"But after Kuai Qi inquired about Xing Daorong's affairs these days, he didn't know whether to surrender or fight."

Having said that, both of them actually knew that Xing Daorong had always had a good reputation, and now that there was a strong army outside the city, Kuai Qi would most likely surrender.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Wei suddenly looked ruthless and frowned, saying, "Why don't we capture Kuai Qi and lead the troops?"

Yang Song shook his head and said, "We don't have any foundation here, I'm afraid the soldiers and horses will not obey."

Zhang Wei said: "But there are rumors that Xing Daorong is the descendant of Bai Qi, who was killed by the people who surrendered."

"We came from Hanzhong, so we must be trustworthy."

Yang Song thought that although Zhang Wei's method was risky, it was the only way for the time being.

If Kuai Qi surrendered to Liu, then both of them would be finished.

There are only two options before him. One is to run away now and go to Cao Cao, where he has to depend entirely on his attitude.

The second is to take a risk and strive for wealth again.

It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, especially for someone as greedy as Yang Song. If you let him be powerless in the future, how can he live his life?
As for why Xing Daorong, a descendant of Bai Qi, changed his surname, they could just make up a reason like avoiding war.

This stuff... no one would delve into it.

Without much hesitation, he said with a fierce look on his face: "Then do it this way!"

...

Xing Daorong really didn't expect that after waiting outside the city for only three days, an accident would happen.

On the city wall, Kuai Qi had disappeared, replaced by two losers, Zhang Wei and Yang Song.

When Xing Daorong saw these two old enemies, he secretly felt that something was wrong.

I didn't know what happened in the city within three days, but I went forward and called out, "Zhang Wei, Yang Song, where is Governor Kuai?"

As soon as he finished speaking, no one on the city wall responded. Instead, a rain of arrows fell directly.

Fortunately, when Xing Daorong saw these two guys, he knew something was wrong and moved away.

Otherwise, if he was hit by two arrows, he might not be able to die, and his reputation would be ruined.

But in this way, Xing Daorong also knew that an accident had really happened in the city.

Before he could say anything, he heard Zhang Wei shouting, "Xing Daorong, we have surrendered to Prime Minister Cao, you should retreat immediately, or we will kill you once the Prime Minister's army arrives!"

Xing Daorong believed that he had surrendered to Cao Cao.

These two men cannot defeat me, and they are so persistent today, most likely they want to surrender to Cao Cao, so they can be so tough and wait for Cao’s army to rescue them.

I thought the three eastern counties would be easy to capture, but I didn't expect that it would get into trouble because of Zhang Lu.

This is the disadvantage of not killing them all in the first place.

It was a problem for Cao Cao to keep Ma Chao, and the same was true for Xing Daorong to keep Zhang Lu.

It was only because I had more important things to deal with that I had no choice but to leave this "trouble behind".

at the moment…

But it is time to accept the punishment for this "aftermath".

Xing Daorong was a little depressed, but had to accept this situation. He asked Bao Long to keep an eye on the direction of Cao's army, and asked Guan Ping to intensify the siege fortifications and prepare to attack Fang Ling as soon as possible.

...

Five days later, Xing Daorong led two generals, Bao Long and Guan Ping, with battering rams and ladders, to prepare for the siege.

Just before the attack, Xing Daorong still wanted to rely on words to win without fighting, so as to avoid causing more casualties.

He shouted in front of the battle line: "Listen, people on the city. Zhang Wei and Yang Song are defeated generals. Today I will attack Fang Ling. If you open the city, I will only take these two!"

"If you continue to resist, don't blame me for being ruthless after I conquer the city."

Of course, Xing Daorong said this just as a threat, hoping to avoid the war.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Wei and Yang Song caught hold of the painting handle and shouted: "This guy is the descendant of a butcher. If he opens the city and surrenders, he will be killed!"

"Fight to the death with me, everyone. The Prime Minister has sent people to rescue us. We will be able to repel the enemy soon!"

"Well…"

After Zhang Weicheng finished shouting, there was actually a burst of support from inside.

But this made Xing Daorong look confused.

What the hell?
After Bai Qi?

I have fought in the late Eastern Han Dynasty for so many years, but this is the first time I have heard that my ancestor had such a powerful background.

He also knew in his heart that this was most likely an "ancestor" deliberately arranged for him by Zhang Wei and the other two in order to resist him.

However, Xing Daorong couldn't prove his "innocent background" at this moment. He had an idea and thought to himself that since I have been given such a prestigious title, wouldn't it be a waste if I don't use it?
Bai Qi’s nickname... is more than just a man-killer.

Then Xing Daorong shouted, "Since you know that I am the descendant of the God of Death, do you still dare to resist?"

Then he called out to the back: "All the generals, listen to my order, come with me to the top of the city wall and teach these incompetent people what the God of War and Heavenly Soldiers are!"

The old soldiers who had followed Xing Daorong all knew that their generals were very powerful. This time, the general in front of them seemed like he was possessed by the "Man-Slayer", and their morale immediately became even higher.

In an instant, there were shouts of killing and they rushed towards the city.
