Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 432 Attacking Lingling
However, it is said that after Zhao Qian settled the affairs of Jingxiang, he called a group of sages to discuss the next plan. After all, Jingzhou has not yet been fully integrated at this time.

Especially the four southern counties, Changsha, Lingling, Wuling, and Guiyang, directly rejected the officials arranged by Zhao Qian.

After Zhao Qian glanced around, he asked Kuai Liang who was not far away, "Does Zirou have a long-term plan for Jingzhou?"

Kuai Liang stepped forward, bowed his hands, and said: "I want to report to the Prime Minister, Liang's wisdom is a little shallow, and he has no good strategy, but he wants to find a long-term plan for Jingzhou. Why don't you ask a wise man?"

Zhao Qian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where are the sages? And recommend them to me."

Kuai Liang said to him: "Jingxiang Ma's family, five brothers have talents and names, and two of them can be wise men."

As soon as Zhao Qian heard Jingxiang Ma's name, Zhao Qian felt familiar. Before he could react, Kuai Yue, brother of Kuai Liang, laughed and said, "Zirou is talking about the Ma family's five constants?"

Kuai Liang smiled slightly, nodded and said, "That's right. There is a proverb in the village that says, 'Mashi Wuchang, Baimei is the best'. It refers to the third of the five brothers, Ma Liang, named Jichang."

"What about the other Magi?" Zhang Fei asked.

Kuai Liang replied: "The other one is the youngest among them, Ma Su and Ma Youchang."

As soon as he heard about Ma Di, Zhao Qian understood that it was his brothers.

So, Zhao Qian laughed and said: "I have also heard of his brother's name. Since he is a sage, I will give him preferential treatment."

Zhao Qian then ordered someone to invite him, and after a while, Ma Liang, the most sage, came to Zhao Qian.

Zhao Qian looked carefully, and sure enough, there was a pinch of white eyebrows between his eyebrows, which made him look more energetic.

After Ma Liang finished seeing the ceremony, Zhao Qian asked straight to the point: "With the situation in Jingxiang, does Ji Chang have a good strategy?"

Ma Liang knew it well, since he was invited, in front of so many people, if he refused again, it would not be humility, it would be ignorance.

Ever since, Ma Liang bowed his hands and said with a smile: "You should treat your son Liu Cong preferentially, and show your kindness to the old people of Jingxiang. This is to reassure the people. Then go south to Wuling, Changsha, Guiyang, and Lingling to hinder Liu Bei and Jiangdong, and to break them. Money and food are fundamental."

After hearing this, Zhao Qian nodded, and continued to ask: "Which county should you take first when conquering the four counties in the south?"

Ma Liang thought for a while and said, "If you want to attack, you must rely on the terrain. To the west of the Xiangjiang River, Lingling is the closest. Take it first, then take Wuling; then take Guiyang to the east of the Xiangjiang River, and finally take Changsha."

After Zhao Qian heard this, he thought it was true. After all, Ma Liang was from Jingxiang, and he was familiar with the geography and customs of this place. It would be much easier to have him as a consultant.

Therefore, Zhao Qian ordered Zhang Fei to be the vanguard, Xu Chu to follow, and Zhao Qian to lead the Chinese army by himself, send [-] troops, and set off in the direction of Lingling.

For the time being, Jingzhou is guarded by Xu Huang, assisted by Cai Mao and other former Jingxiang troops.

However, Liu Du, the prefect of Lingling, heard that Zhao Qian personally raised troops to attack, and was terrified, so he wanted to sacrifice the city and surrender.

His son Liu Xian hurriedly stopped him and said: "Father, don't panic. Zhao Qian is used to showing off his power in the north. He doesn't know that I am a hero in Jingchu. If he doesn't come, let him come. Now that he comes today, he will definitely come and never come back!"

"My son, don't be so arrogant. Zhao Qian's men, Zhang Fei and Xu Chu, are the champions of the three armies. Don't underestimate them!" Liu Du said with a sad face.

Liu Xian didn't think so, waved his hands, and said: "He has Zhang Fei and Xu Chu in Zhao Qian, and I have General Xing Daorong in Lingling! General Xing is strong against ten thousand people, and he can resist!"

Liu Du looked to the side, and saw that Xing Daorong was there with us, with a blank expression on his face, he asked, "Can General Xing be competent?"

Xing Daorong's cheeks twitched lightly, and he said with a stiff face: "The prefect has a life, so-and-so dare not obey!"

When Liu Du heard this, he was overjoyed. Xing Daorong was his number one general. He usually wiped out mountain bandits, and it was all up to him to collect food and taxes.

It's just that Xing Daorong's natural paralyzed face made Liu Du dislike it very much, but now it seems that it is a bit more pleasing to the eye.

So, Liu Du waved his hand and said: "Xing Daorong obeys the order and leads ten thousand soldiers in the city to resist Zhao Qian!"

"Order!"

Xing Daorong received the order with cupped fists, then turned and left, preparing to gather troops and horses to resist the incoming enemy.

Afterwards, Xing Daorong led the sergeants in the city, [-] miles away from Lingling, set up a camp near the mountains and rivers, and waited for the arrival of Zhao Qian's army.

Not a day later, Tanmafei reported: "Zhao Qianyin's soldiers and horses have been killed all the way."

Xing Daorong didn't do what he thought, and led the army to fight. The two battles faced each other. Xing Daorong rode out, holding a mountain-breaking axe, and shouted sharply: "You have occupied the north, why bother to invade my border?"

When Zhao Qian heard this, he laughed and scolded: "Under the whole world, is it the land of the king! I am the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and I follow the emperor's edict to patrol the world. You are not a minister, stubbornly resisting, and I can protect you as soon as possible. It's worse than my wife and children!"

Xing Daorong grinned, and said: "You are only fighting for power, Liu Cong is cowardly, and surrendered. Come to Lingling now, so that I can teach you to know the heroes of Jingchu!"

After finishing speaking, Xing Daorong didn't talk nonsense, shouted, rounded the mountain axe, and came straight to Zhao Qian.

At this time, Zhao Qian, relying on force value alone, has been able to fight Zhang Fei for dozens of rounds without losing the wind. How can Xing Daorong be his opponent?
Xing Daorong was also smart, after a few axes, he naturally realized that he was no match, so he waved his hand, and the army behind him came to kill him.

Zhao Qian frowned. He led the Chinese army himself, and the troops were insufficient. Although he was not afraid of Xing Daorong's soldiers and horses, fighting head-on would inevitably increase unnecessary casualties.

This is not Zhao Qian's style!

Thinking that Xu Chu was leading the army in the rear, Zhao Qian turned around and led the army back.

Xing Daorong didn't know what it was, and thought that Zhao Qian was forced by his own power, so he yelled expressionlessly and led the army to chase him.

After wiping the foot of the mountain, Zhao Qian stopped the team suddenly, and Xing Daorong just caught up with him, and went straight away with his big axe.

However, Zhao Qian did not move at this time. He saw that the team was divided into two, and another Biao army came out from the rear.

The leader shouted: "Bold rebel, Xu Chu is here, take your life!"

Xing Daorong was taken aback. After a few rounds, he didn't dare to fight and ordered to retreat.

However, at this moment, there were shouts of killing behind Xing Daorong, and another army came to kill him!
The leader was a leopard head with ring eyes, a curly face with a steel beard, and holding a Zhangba snake spear.

Seeing these scenes, Liu Xian, who was in the formation, didn't bother to rescue Xing Daorong, he hurriedly greeted the surrounding soldiers and horses, and fled to Lingling City without knowing the fortress.

And Xing Daorong, who was besieged by soldiers from the three routes, had no hope of escaping after several struggles, so he got off his horse and begged for surrender!
All of a sudden, Zhao Qian was a little astonished. Xing Daorong, who was righteous just now, surrendered just like that?
After seeing Xing Daorong's stiff face and the forced smile, Zhao Qian raised the corner of his mouth and waved his hand. His sergeant stepped forward and tied Xing Daorong tightly!
