Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 96 Battle for the Three Eastern Counties
Xing Daorong and Ma Chao high-fived and made an agreement. After eating and drinking some wine, they returned to their camps to prepare for the battle for the three eastern counties.

Huang Zhong, Bao Long and others were slightly surprised when they heard such a result.

Huang Zhong couldn't help but worry: "Will Ma Chao take advantage of our conquest of the three counties to launch a surprise attack on Nanzheng?"

Old Huang is quite good. He has thought of all aspects. No wonder he became famous in the battle of Dingjun Mountain and was directly ranked among the Five Tigers.

However, there was really no strategic significance for Ma Chao to come and steal Nanzheng.

Finally, he was caught between Liu Bei and Cao Cao, and finally had to make a choice.

Now is not the time for many heroes to compete for supremacy. If you just grab a place, you may become bigger and stronger.

Now that the world has been divided into three parts, it is no longer possible to occupy a place and fight slowly.

To achieve hegemony, one really has to follow the Sima family's path.

It's just that what the old villain Sima did was really disgusting, and Sima's descendants were too stupid, which led to the Five Barbarians Invasion, so their reputation is so bad.

Looking back at the present, Xing Daorong does not think that Ma Chao would do this.

To put it bluntly, the agreement between Ma Chao and himself about the dispute over the three eastern counties was just a stepping stone, or a political investment for the future.

Coming here with a county is very different from being a lone man.

No matter from which perspective, Ma Chao could not launch a sneak attack.

He immediately said: "As long as Ma Mengqi is not a fool, he will definitely not attack Nanzheng. Now that we want to compete with Ma Chao in speed, we should split the troops into two groups."

"As long as we take over two of the three counties, Ma Chao will definitely surrender."

When Huang Zhong heard that the troops were divided into two groups, he immediately knew that he also had work to do.

As expected, Xing Daorong said, "I will lead the army to Fangling, and Han Sheng will go straight to Shangyong. If everything goes well, we will meet in Xicheng."

Huang Zhong immediately bowed and said, "Good, I will call up the troops immediately!"

Currently, Xing Daorong is the General of the Northern Expedition, and Huang Zhong is the General of the Western Expedition. In terms of official positions, they are actually the same.

However, Xing Daorong has always been the big brother of the Jingnan Group. When Han Xuan wanted to kill Huang Zhong, he was the only one who stood up. In addition, he invisibly extended the life of Huang Zhong's son. So although he is older, Old Huang always listens to Xing Daorong.

I responded without any hesitation.

Xing Daorong also asked Bao Long and Guan Ping to prepare, and the next day he led his troops to attack Fangling County.

...

House age county.

When Kuai Qi heard the news that Xing Daorong and Ma Chao were raising troops, he was not panicked at all.

In addition to being the nephew of the "Shuang Kuai", this guy also has another identity: he is Zhuge Liang's brother-in-law.

Many years ago, he married Zhuge Gui's daughter, Zhuge Liang's eldest sister.

So he was not panicked at all, and he really wanted to play with both sides. It didn't matter whether he joined Liu or Cao.

However, when Liu Bei's army arrived, Zhang Lu took the initiative to say goodbye and wanted to go to Yecheng.

Kuai Qi did not stop them, but left Zhang Lu and Yang Song in the city.

Xing Daorong was very confident about capturing Fangling and led 5,000 soldiers and horses.

After inquiring for more information, he learned that Ma Chao was heading straight for Shangyong. He guessed that he must have heard about his visit to Fang Ling and wanted to avoid him.

But he didn't expect that he would just cheat and split his troops into two groups, letting Huang Zhong bypass Fang Ling and attack Shangyong directly.

"I don't know if Ma Chao would be angry if he knew."

He suddenly complained for no reason in his heart, and Xing Daorong led his troops to set up camp outside the city smoothly.

On the second day, they shouted from the bottom of the city: "Is the prefect of Fangling, Kuai Qi, on the city wall?" Kuai Qi was on the city wall, looking from afar, and saw that Liu Bei's army was in full order, with the leading general looking very majestic. He thought to himself that Liu Bei's army did not look bad.

Be a man to stay on the line and meet each other in the future.

Although Kuai Qi had no intention of opening the city and surrendering, he still politely replied, "It is me. May I ask who is coming?"

Xing Daorong called out, "I am Xing Daorong of Lingling, Kuai Qi. You were originally the governor of Jingzhou appointed by Liu Biao. Now Liu Biao's position has been replaced by the emperor's uncle. I have come to take over the county city, why haven't you opened the city yet?"

This makes sense, but from a legal point of view, Liu Cong succeeded Liu Biao after his death, and Liu Cong surrendered to Cao Cao, so it is natural that Kuai Qi should also be Cao Cao's man.

But this is all false.

Whoever is under the city gates right now has the right opinion.

When Kuai Qi heard the name Xing Daorong, he felt like surrendering.

He may not be very clear about the war situation in Yizhou, but he knows the war situation in Hanzhong very well!
Xing Daorong is a fierce man who can climb to the top of the city wall first. If I don’t agree, even Nanzheng can’t stop Xing Daorong, so how can he stop him?
Thinking of this, his face changed and he wanted to call for Kaesong.

However, Zhang Wei and Yang Song on the side were both looking at Kuai Qi's expression, and when they saw that he looked kind, they immediately felt something was wrong.

These two people definitely don't want Xing Daorong to take over Fang Ling.

One of the Zhang Lu brothers was a man who took money but did nothing. The reason why he did not directly join Cao Cao was actually to gain political capital.

Especially Yang Song.

Originally, he must have made great contributions by surrendering Hanzhong to Cao Cao. However, Hanzhong was lost and he left alone. Zhang Lu might have been able to live a good life relying on his status, but who is Yang Song?

And if I could lead the three eastern counties, or just one Fangling County, it would be a great improvement for myself.

He immediately advised: "Kuai Taishou, Xing Daorong is indeed a cruel man. If we surrender, I am afraid that the people in the city will not be able to keep safe."

"Oh?" Kuai Qi was stunned when he heard it. He looked at the army outside who were waiting in a serious manner. In addition, he seemed to have never heard of such news before, so he couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "It seems that I have never heard that Xing Daorong is a vicious person?"

Yang Song said hurriedly: "The governor doesn't know, we in Nanzheng know it best."

Zhang Wei thought that his brother had just gone to Cao Cao, so how could he let Xing Daorong enter the city directly? He also helped out, "Sir, Ziqiao is right. Xing Daorong is extremely cruel. We can't let him enter the city!"

With the "devil's voice" in his ears, Kuai Qi hesitated.

After thinking about the situation, I decided to figure it out. Even if we want to open the city, it won't be today.

Thinking of this, Kuai Qi called out to Xing Daorong, "General Xing, can you give me a few days to think about this?"

How many days to think about it?

Xing Daorong had never encountered such a situation where he would consider the matter when the enemy was at the gate.

If it works, then it works. If it doesn’t, then fight.

It’s nothing to think about it for a few days.

Bao Long on the side also complained: "General, what is this guy trying to do? He is dragging his feet. Is he waiting for reinforcements?"

"I think we should just charge straight up to the top of the city wall and see if he surrenders!"

Bao Long is more or less a little too proud. If he continues like this, he will definitely suffer.

Guan Ping advised: "When the enemy suddenly arrives at the city, it is inevitable to worry about gains and losses. Since Kuai Qi said to wait for a few days, then wait."

Xing Daorong thought for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "Governor, I will give you three days. If you still don't figure it out after three days, don't blame me for mobilizing troops!"

Having said this, he withdrew his troops and waited for three days to pass.

Xing Daorong thought that nothing would go wrong in three days, but he didn't expect that he had underestimated the villain's intentions.
