In order to survive, Xing Daorong offered advice to Liu Xun and Zhuge Liang: "Lingling Prefect Liu Du has no opinion, and everything depends on his son Liu Xian. As long as Liu Xian can be captured, Lingling City will definitely be within reach."
Xing Daorong did not surrender sincerely, but had to tell the truth in order to survive.
"Okay, how can I catch Liu Xian."
Zhuge Liang is extremely clever, it is impossible not to know that Xing Daorong was blamed on him. However, Zhuge Liang remained silent, and accompanied Xing Daorong to perform the trick, just to do the trick. Taking Xing Daorong as a breakthrough, won Lingling.
"Three days later, it will be the tenth day of September. I will secretly open the east gate of Lingling City at that time. I will raise the fire as a sign, and you can rush in when you see the fire from the east gate. Liu Du must be unprepared, and Lingling City will be within easy reach. Up."
Xing Daorong was right and wrong. He wanted to go back and tell Liu Du to ambush soldiers in the city, and then introduce Liu Xun and others into the city. In this way, the Lingling Army can set off rockets from a commanding position and attack the Han Army. The Han Army will inevitably be defeated so that he can make great contributions. Xing Daorong's wishful thinking was really good, but it was a pity that he made a mistake.
"Well, if you can win Lingling, you will definitely not be treated badly." Zhuge Liang agreed readily.
"Since it's my own family, the son will let me go." Xing Daorong pleaded.
Liu Xun knew that Xing Daorong was a treacherous villain who didn't keep his promises. However, military strategist Zhuge Liang believed it to be true. Liu Xungang wanted to reprimand Xing Daorong when he suddenly saw Zhuge Liang winking at himself. Liu Xun suddenly realized that the military commander must have a deep meaning in doing this, so he laughed and said: "Okay, then I wish General Xing this feat as soon as possible."
After speaking, Liu Xun motioned to the soldiers to untie Xing Daorong and let him go.
Xing Daorong hurriedly kowtowed his head to thank you, and then walked out in great strides, for fear that Liu Xun would regret it. On the way back to Jiangling, Xing Daorong couldn't help laughing. People say that Liu Xun is a young hero, and Zhuge Liang is Wolong. They are both very capable people. I didn't expect to be fooled so easily by myself. Xing Daorong couldn't help admiring his intelligence, and he didn't put Liu Xun and Zhuge Liang in his eyes.
In Lingling City, Liu Du and Liu Xian had already received the news that Xing Daorong's entire army had been annihilated.
"Xian'er, Qiyang City fell, and Xing Daorong's 20,000 army was wiped out. And we have 20,000 people left in Lingling City. They are not rivals of Liu Xun and Zhuge Liang at all. What do you think?"
Liu Du is obsessed with drinking and composing poetry, and he doesn't want to get involved in political affairs. Lingling's affairs are all handled by his son Liu Xian. But now, Lingling is about to face a catastrophe, and he has to come out to deal with it. But I didn't know what to do, so I had to discuss with Liu Xian.
"Father, there is only Xing Daorong in Lingling. Now Xing Daorong has been wiped out, and he himself has been captured by the Han army. We have not many defenders. And I heard that Liu Xun used his soldiers like a god. There is also the assistance of military commander Zhuge Liang. There are fierce generals such as Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Wei Yan. We are not their opponents at all. However, if we surrender in this way, I will not be reconciled."
Liu Xian was also hesitant. If you don't surrender, you are afraid that you will not be able to defeat the Han army; if you surrender, you are not reconciled and don't know what to do.
"Lord, lord..." General Xing returned. A guard hurried to report.
"Really?" Liu Du and Liu Xian asked in unison.
Before the words fell, they heard Xing Daorong's cry.
"Lord, son, I can see you, I almost can't come back."
Xing Daorong's cry was very miserable, as if he had been wronged by heaven. This is Xing Daorong's cunning. He knew that Liu Du, the prefect, had a tolerant temperament, and seeing him cry so miserably, he couldn't bear to cure him. That's why he didn't want to join Liu Xun.
Because he knew that Liu Bei, the master of the Han army, and Liu Xun, the young master, were very wise, and they were not easy to mix up under their hands. Moreover, there are so many famous generals in the Han army that he simply can't be ranked. In Lingling, he can be a general, and he is the first fierce general, this can show his majesty.
"Didn't you get caught by the Han army? Why did you come back? Have you already betrayed us!"
When Liu Xian saw Xing Daorong come back alone, unscathed, he was very skeptical. He thinks Xing Daorong may have surrendered, and he may come back with a conspiracy.
"My son, I was wronged. I could have escaped, but I didn't do it. Instead, I deliberately let them arrest me."
Xing Daorong cried and touched his tears at the same time, completely losing the demeanor of a general, but like an aggrieved little girl.
"Then why did you deliberately let them arrest you?" Liu Du, the prefect, was curious.
"There are many enemy soldiers, and I think I can only outwit the incompetent. After being captured by them, I will pretend to offer them as their internal response. We can take this opportunity to introduce them into the city, so that they will become turtles in the urn. , Our army can take this opportunity to annihilate them."
Xing Daorong thought that his strategy was perfect, and his expression at this time was completely changed. It's not like a defeated war, but like a victorious general.
"Well... This plan is very clever." Liu Du believed Xing Daorong's rhetoric very much.
"Twenty thousand soldiers have been buried by you, and you still have the face to come back!" Liu Xian hated Xing Daorong's face.
"I also want to apologize, but 20,000 brothers can't die in vain. I have to survive to avenge my brothers."
Xing Daorong said it was high-sounding, but he just said it nicely. He just wanted to survive. He had never thought of other people.
"Xing Daorong is a loyal person, don't embarrass him anymore."
Liu Du really trusted Xing Daorong.
"Then Liu Xun and Zhuge Liang are not mediocre people, can you fool them?"
Liu Xian didn't believe that Xing Daorong, the five big and three rough, could fool the young hero Liu Xun and Mr. Wolong Zhuge Liang.
"My son, don't be fooled by rumors from the outside world. Liu Xun is just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, and Zhuge Liang is nothing but a false name. I don't think they are that powerful. I was fooled by a few words."
Xing Daorong became more and more vigorous as he spoke, completely in a victorious posture, completely disregarding Liu Xun and Zhuge Liang.
With a flash, Liu Xian suddenly drew his sword and put it on Xing Daorong's neck, and said sharply: "You can lie to them, and you can lie to us. How do I know if what you are saying is true?"
Xing Daorong paled with fright, he knelt down with a thump, and said in a trembling voice: "My son is forgiving, what I said is true. I am deeply favored by Xing Daorong and have always been loyal to the lord and son."
"General Xing has always been loyal and will not lie to us. If you kill him, won't you lose a general?" Liu Du quickly persuaded him.
"Well, I believe you for the time being." Liu Xian took the sword back.
In September of the 4th year of Jian'an (AD 199), Liu Xun led an army of thirty thousand to the Lingling city and set up camp.
Generals such as Zhang Fei and Wei Yan thought that Liu Du was at the end of the battle, and they called for battle, but Liu Xun was unmoved.
On September 10th, Liu Xun summoned generals and counselors in the Great Tent of the Chinese Army to discuss the attack on Lingling.
"It's long overdue to fight, but after waiting for two or three days, I'm already suffocated." Zhang Fei was very excited when he heard that there was a fight to fight.
"Then please tell the lord as soon as possible." Zhao Yun was also eager to try.
"Today is the date agreed with Xing Daorong. In the evening, Xing Daorong will open the east gate and let us into the city in the name of raising fire." Liu Xun said slowly.
"Xing Daorong is not a kind person, maybe he lied to us." Wei Yan said his worries.
"It's not possible, but it must be a lie to us." Zhuge Liang replied.
"Knowing that it was a lie to us, let's go, isn't that stupid?" Everyone was puzzled, and they all talked in a rush.
"Don't worry, everyone, listen to the military commander to finish." Seeing everyone's emotions, Liu Xun comforted everyone.
Zhuge Liang said confidently and confidently: "We can count on the plan. We can find a sergeant who is similar to the lord, pretend to be shot and injured by the enemy, and we can find a sergeant who is similar to the lord, pretending to be shot and injured by the enemy. Annihilate the enemy."
After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that they admired Zhuge Liang's clever methods.
"I personally led the army into the city. I don't need others to pretend." Liu Xun also agreed with Zhuge Liang's strategy, but he did not agree with others pretending to enter the city.
Everyone was surprised after hearing this. After all, Liu Xun is the chief general of the entire army. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable. Everyone asked Liu Xun not to be so stubborn and not to commit risks alone. But Liu Xun remained unmoved, still insisting on his own opinions.
In the evening, Liu Xun led his army to ambush under Lingling City as agreed. I saw the city's head lit up and the city gate opened wide.
Liu Xun shouted: "Offensive!"
The Han army shouted loudly, but the speed of entering the city was very slow. Xing Daorong and Liu Xian, who were in ambush in the city, heard the movement and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to release arrows.
In an instant, the rockets'swish, swish, swish' all shot down. The Han army yelled, and someone hit an arrow.
Xing Daorong laughed and said, "You are in the middle of the game, so don't hurry up and surrender!"
"It's not good, the son is hit by an arrow." A soldier of the Han army shouted.
"Hurry up and line up and rush out."
"Okay, rush out quickly."
Xing Daorong saw that Liu Xun seemed to be hit by an arrow, and the Han army retreated one after another. He was overjoyed and ordered the soldiers to chase at full speed.
The Han army ran away desperately, and Liu Xian and Xing Daorong chased after him.
Seeing that he was about to catch up, he suddenly heard someone shouting from behind: "Yan Ren Zhang Fei is here!" The voice was as loud as Hong Zhong.
Xing Daorong was shocked, and when he turned his head, Zhang Fei led his army to kill him.
"Your chief general Liu Xun is dead, hurry up and surrender." Xing Daorong said triumphantly.
"Xing Daorong, who do you think I am?"
Xing Daorong followed the prestige, but Liu Xun led his army back and rushed over. It's not good to yell, I know it's hit.
Xing Daorong suddenly panicked, surrounded by front and back, and fled south.
But another group of Han troops rushed out, led by Wei Yan.
The Lingling Army was surrounded, and they were in chaos, fleeing desperately, trampling on each other, and causing countless casualties.
Xing Daorong saw that the general situation was over, and saw the chaos on the battlefield, he wanted to escape secretly.
"Xing Daorong, where to go!" Zhao Yun blocked Xing Daorong's way. Xing Daorong is in danger...
