Chapter 444 Pang De's sneak attack succeeds? Xing Daorong assists Guo Tu's undercover miss
Chapter 444 Pang De's sneak attack succeeds? Xing Daorong assists Guo Tu's undercover mission! Zhong Yu cupped his hands and took his leave from Zhong Yao.
Zhong Yao, on the other hand, looked quite pleased with himself.
For the time being, there will be no direct conflict with our lord Cao Cao.
After all, it's not time to distribute dividends yet.
But looking ahead, many things are hard to say.
Just like the recent Kansai coalition uprising, if Zhong Yao were to intervene, the resolution would undoubtedly be much faster.
Perhaps only a handful of warlords, including Lü Bu and Ma Chao, remained committed to opposing Cao Cao.
But Zhong Yao didn't need to take action.
His methods are meant to be used when it comes to profit sharing, not now! Therefore, Zhong Yao will not remind Xiahou Yuan of certain schemes that he has already seen through.
He will only play his existing role well, pretending to be a miniature Xun Yu.

Near Pubanjin
Pang De led five thousand elite infantrymen, riding in warships, and glided swiftly across the Wei River.
They were called warships, but they were actually small boats.
After all, Pound was only using these small boats to cross the Wei River; he was not planning to wage a naval battle on the river.
As he approached the finish line, Pound smiled slightly.
No matter how capable Xiahou Yuan was, he would never have imagined that Xiahou Yuan would choose such a method to launch a surprise attack on the Guanzhong region!
And indeed, Pound's prediction came true.
Xiahou Yuan is not a god, and Su Yu is not here either.
Without the help of Su Yu, Xiahou Yuan never expected the enemy to appear from the direction of the Wei River!
Pang De led 5,000 elite troops and quickly occupied several cities around the Wei River, building fortifications and waiting for more allied troops to cross the river.
Chencang has lost its defensive significance.
Guanzhong region, in danger!
……
"Report!"
"Han Sui, Lü Bu, and Ma Chao led an army of 200,000 men, starting from Liangzhou, and marched towards Chang'an!"
In the Xiangyang Council Hall
Cao Cao received a personal letter from Xiahou Yuan.
Cao Cao and Su Yu had long anticipated that Han Sui, Lü Bu, and Ma Chao, these three villains, would get together and cause trouble.
Previously, Han Sui had even sent envoys to Xiangyang with feigned concern.
They hoped that Cao Cao could send troops into Liangzhou to deal with Lü Bu and take charge of things for him.
Su Yu had predicted at the time that if soldiers were sent to Liangzhou, they would definitely be betrayed by Han Sui and would never return.
Ignoring Han Sui's request for reinforcements and intensifying preparations for war is the only sensible course of action.
This is why Hao Zhao was sent to assist Xiahou Yuan.
as predicted.
His moral bottom line is extremely flexible. Just a while ago, Han Sui was crying poverty and hoping that Cao Cao would send troops to support him. But now he has shown his true colors and is colluding with Lü Bu and Ma Chao!
However, expecting the 50,000 troops stationed in the Guanzhong region to defeat the 200,000-strong Guanxi coalition army is undoubtedly wishful thinking.
Therefore, Xiahou Yuan and Hao Zhao's task was simply to delay as much as possible.
At present, Cao Cao is in Xiangyang.
However, Xun Yu in Xuchang had already led the "talented men" of the Ministry of Personnel to prepare food and supplies, ready to be sent to the front lines in Guanzhong at any time!
This means that Cao Cao could simply leave whenever he wanted, taking his elite troops with him to fight.
suddenly.
Dian Wei walked in from outside and reported to Cao Cao:
"My lord, the gentleman has returned from Jingnan and will soon arrive at the gates of Xiangyang."
Upon hearing this, Cao Cao slammed his fist on the table beside him.
"Ziyi has returned; it's time to make those guys pay the price!"
……
Xiangyang City Gate
Cao Cao came to greet Su Yu, as well as Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, and others.
For Cao Cao's four scourges, it was just a low-level game in Jingnan, with no difficulty whatsoever, like a vacation.
Su Yu also took Huang Yueying, who was skilled in chicken-handling techniques, and Huang Wudie, who was skilled in archery, into his fold.
Meanwhile, their fathers, Huang Chengyan and Huang Zhong, have also become active members of Cao Cao's camp.
After Su Yu introduced Huang Chengyan, Huang Zhong, and others to Cao Cao, Cao Cao's eyes immediately lit up.
So, Cao Cao's camp has gained another fierce general?
Although Cao Cao's camp had many talented people.
However, only a handful of people, such as Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and Zhao Yun, possessed martial arts skills that were among the best in the world at that time.
Now, with Huang Zhong joining the ranks, Cao Cao's camp can now field four super generals.
Disciplined yet furious, Lu Bu after breaking through his limits?
Ha ha……
The only thing that Cao Cao regretted was that he was unable to conquer Jiangdong for the time being.
But it wouldn't hurt to let Cao Cao's navy develop for another two or three years.
At that time, we can wipe out Jiangdong in one fell swoop!
In any case, Sun Quan's development path has been blocked.
Unless he can break through the Hefei or Guangling defense lines.
But is that possible?
With Cao Ren and Chen Deng, the Guangling defense line was as solid as a rock.
The Hefei defense line has also received a thoughtful gift package from Su Yu for Sun Quan.
Sure enough, the moment Su Yu returned to Xiangyang, Zhang Liao had already led eight hundred soldiers to Hefei.
If Sun Quan dares to come, let him participate in the first Hefei Swimming Competition!
If they don't win the championship, then they're doomed!
……
Jiangdong
Wu County
Upon learning that Xing Daorong had single-handedly fought against four of Cao Cao's fiercest generals without being at a disadvantage, he specially traveled to Jiangdong to seek refuge with him.
Sun Quan was so happy that he didn't even change his clothes before rushing out of the city to welcome Xing Daorong!
Xing Daorong carried the pear blossom-shaped axe, his eyes looking down on everything.
Su Yu had already sent his intelligence corps to compile and disseminate accounts of his heroic deeds in fighting Cao Cao's army and breaking through their encirclement.
Anyway, public opinion is on Su Yu's side.
Sun Quan would not know the truth about the Battle of Jingnan; he would only believe that Xing Daorong truly possessed the courage to fight ten thousand men.
As for Zhou Yu's side...
If he wants to investigate, then let him investigate.
In other aspects, Guo Tu may be quite incompetent.
But when it comes to internal strife, sorry, Zhou Yu is definitely no match for Guo Tu!
Upon seeing Xing Daorong, Guo Tu immediately went up to Sun Quan and said:
"My lord, General Xing possesses the courage of ten thousand men."
"Such a fierce general is employed by our lord, which must be due to the good deeds and virtues our lord has accumulated over the years!"
Sun Quan was so happy he couldn't stop smiling.
Xing Daorong's appearance and demeanor are very deceptive.
Unless one's martial arts skills reach the level of Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, and Huang Zhong.
Otherwise, one would never be able to see through Xing Daorong's true intentions.
As for generals of this caliber, sorry, Jiangdong doesn't have a single one.
Therefore, as long as Xing Daorong doesn't make a move, he is undoubtedly the number one warrior in the world!
As the saying goes:
My name is Xing Daorong, undercover agent number 003. I am about to assist my elder brother Guo Tu and second brother Xu Sheng in completing the great undercover mission of destroying Jiangdong!
