So, what exactly did Xing Daorong, who was the hero of the Hanzhong battle, go through in this short period of half a month?
——
Let's talk about it first, in fact, under the current situation, even if Xing Daorong fails, Jiang Wan has already established a victory.
He really didn't expect that Dingjun Mountain would be so important to Liu Beijun at first.
But after constantly receiving military information reported by Xia Houyuan, he began to admire Yi Xiaotian more and more, who was not at the front line at all but had insight into the key to the war.
Yes - with just one move from Dingjunshan, Wolong Zhuge was basically pinned to death on the chessboard.
This is not a fair fight.
From the very beginning, Liu Beijun, who was in a weak position, was waiting for an opportunity to act. As a fox or a poisonous snake, he wanted to steal the results from the rich land of Hanzhong.
As challengers, they could only look for loopholes in Cao's army.
The only point that Yi Xiaotian directly named was basically blocking Zhuge Liang's angle of lifting the table.
Yes, from beginning to end, there is only one winner in this battle.
Over there is Dingjun Mountain.
Only by occupying Dingjun Mountain can Liu Bei's army overturn Cao's army.
Apart from this, the so-called other approaches are just heretical ways that do not involve the fundamentals.
For example, even if Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were to defeat Xiahou Dun and others once or twice, what impact would they have?
As long as the main force of Cao's army is still at Yangping Pass, it will be impossible for Liu Bei's army to enter the pass.
Not to mention the so-called conspiracy.
This is why Jiang Wan, when he first received the report from Ma Chao and Zhang He and heard that Wei Yan had done that, his first thought was: Could Wei Yan really be that stupid?
Wei Yan simply misunderstood the key to victory or defeat for their own troops.
Jiang Wan later suspected that there was some conflict between Zhuge Liang and Wei Yan, so that Wei Yan did not understand Zhuge Liang's intention at all - all the battles on other lines of Liu Bei's army were just to relieve the pressure on Junshan.
Of course, there were too many, and Jiang Wan didn’t want to pursue it any further.
"In this way, the matters in Nanzheng City have basically been dealt with. Next, I will ask Mr. Xun to do it for you——"
"Gong Yan, what are you doing?"
Jiang Wan, knowing that the victory at Dingjun Mountain was determined, visited Xun You that night. After saying these words, he seemed to be about to turn around and leave.
Confused, Xun You grabbed Jiang Wan, looked at him with puzzled eyes, and asked.
"This matter is just my personal thoughts. Next, I want to go to the front line of Yangpingguan——"
"Zhuge Wolong... Speaking of which, I was looking for this name a long time ago..."
Jiang Wan smiled softly, leaving Xun You with a somewhat complicated look.
Xun You understood at this time...
No matter how humble and serious Jiang Wan appears to be on weekdays, in his heart he is still the same as a genius soaring in the sky like Wolong and Phoenix. They are the same kind of people - and they put aside their concerns about the war.
All concepts of life often seek the pleasure of winning a game of chess.
"As expected, young man——"
Xun You shook his head, not knowing which direction he was facing, and muttered silently:
"Mr. Yi, the talents you recommended are really not easy to mess with -"
——
Under so many prerequisites, what Xing Daorong has accomplished seems to be the icing on the cake.
Of course, if Yi Xiaotian came to make the plan in person, he should clearly tell Cao Cao, Jiang Wan and others:
"No! Hanzhong can be lost, but Liu Zhang cannot die!"
However, who makes Yi Xiaotian a prophet? After all, we are all ordinary people, so how can we see the situation in the next twenty years at a glance?
Xing Daorong definitely didn't know that he was such an important existence in the eyes of a certain god who even Cao Cao wanted to serve.
He came to Chengdu just to make a living without steaming steamed buns.
Having said that, Xing Daorong did not come to Chengdu so easily.
"General Xing, don't worry. I knew that Liu Bei was incompetent. I didn't expect him to be so audacious. Not only did he deliberately lose the battle, but he also planned to use this battle to consume Yizhou's grain reserves. His intentions are terrible! Your safety
Let me, Pang, protect it!"
Mr. Pang——Xing Daorong shook off the fat on his body and looked at the middle-aged man with an upright face next to him with some restraint.
He is Pang Xi.
The other party was slightly older than me, and had already managed to sneak into the position of the Brazilian Prefect and the Zitong Prefect concurrently.
It can be said that the entire north of Yizhou is his territory. For such a big shot, if you say that he is not interested in the position of Yizhou Prefect, Xing Daorong will not believe it.
According to the plan, Xing Daorong should not meet this person.
But the problem is that Xing Daorong traveled over the mountains and took the mountain roads all the way. When he was about to enter Chengdu, he was caught by this person as a suspicious person. Xing Daorong couldn't die in vain, right?
Fortunately, although Liu Bei had met this person once when he came out of Sichuan, Xing Daorong muddleheadedly explained the rhetoric he had prepared, thinking that a dead horse would be treated as a living horse doctor, and the result was that it was wrong.
Among the only few people in Shu who were not instigated by Liu Bei to rebel, or who still had quarrels with Liu Bei, happened to be Pang Xi.
However, Pang Xi kept saying that he would be brought to Chengdu, and when he confronted Zhang Song, Fazheng and others in court, Xing Daorong felt that he might have lost his temper.
He was a little confused about the thoughts of this man named Pang Xi.
In the worst case scenario, he thought that Pang Xi might have strengthened some beliefs that he shouldn't have because of his words, and now he was about to be used as a target.
So...even when he arrived in Chengdu, Xing Daorong was not very happy, but instead was crying and sad.
"Huh? General Xing, why are you looking so sad? You are my great hero in Yizhou! Next, I will take you to see Zhou Mu, and you can tell these facts in front of him! Hmph... I have seen Zhang for a long time.
That boy is so annoying! It’s time to teach him a lesson!"
Yes - after hearing this, Xing Daorong was basically sure that the other party was planning to use him as a target.
Cold sweat broke out all of a sudden. If possible, Xing Daorong actually only planned to meet with Liu Zhang. If some people who had already obviously surrendered to Liu Bei knew of his arrival, he would be in trouble.
"Yeah, Lord Pang is right! But... I'll go to the toilet for a moment. I feel a little uncomfortable in my lower stomach along the way -"
do my best!
Xing Daorong couldn't care less about his handsome and unrestrained image.
In front of a group of generals who were watching eagerly, he farted several times in succession, causing the originally tense atmosphere in the venue to suddenly relax.
Pang Xi fanned the stench and said with disgust:
"General Xing, go quickly! Don't... don't hold back!"
"Eh...okay..."
Xing Daorong apologized and held his stomach while running quickly into the woods.
There, he finally met the person who had been in constant contact with him along the way.
