Chapter 159 Xing Daorong returns
"Shut up, you!"
Ma Di looked at Mi Fang several times, and then kicked her, knocking out Mi Fang's front teeth.
But even so, Ma Su's blood pressure did not drop.
From Mi Fang's words, he finally understood that this person felt that he had been wronged. When he was greedy for food, grass and weapons in Jiangling, he couldn't stand it after being scolded by Guan Yu.
Then there was a high probability that he felt that even if he defended Jiangling, he would be punished with a false sword when Guan Yu came back, so he surrendered to Soochow without doing anything else.
This bastard doesn't care about the safety of his brother in Chengdu!
"I'm not a good person, and you, my Mi Fang." Ma Su glanced at him for the last time and snorted coldly.
"You are a real villain!"

Ma Di defeated Ding Feng in a battle, captured his deputy Mi Fang, and defeated Ding Feng in one fell swoop. In the next few days, Ma Su was injured one after another and challenged Ding Feng in the city. He showed off his injuries to Ding Feng in a arrogant manner.
Ding Feng was now possessed by Lu Xun, and the majestic Soochow warrior turned into a shrunken turtle. No matter how Ma Su pretended to be in the city, he would not go out.
If he goes into battle and is defeated by a hundred cavalry and a thousand troops, he, Ding Feng, will not be able to survive in the future. On the contrary, they defended the city. They have always had this tradition in Soochow. Even the governor took the lead in defending Ding Feng, which was not a shame.
Ding Feng refused to fight, and Ma Di really had no choice. But in the counties south of the Xiangjiang River, Ding Feng could no longer defend himself.
Ma Su divided his troops to seize nearby county towns and used them as fodder for his troops. They then stationed themselves swaggeringly outside the city to serve with the servants.
If you can, come out and fight me. If you don't, I'll sit on your face and shit.
However, Ding Feng was not completely unprepared. While guarding Linxiang City, he also continued to urge reinforcements from various counties to arrive. Especially for the nearest Lingling County, Ding Feng sent dozens of messengers to urge for urgent help.
At this moment, Ma Su is still a lone army. Although several counties behind him have surrendered and donated food, they are still only a few thousand lone soldiers. As long as the soldiers of the three counties are round, they can get more than ten thousand soldiers and horses. Isn't it easy to defeat you?
In a word, as long as the reinforcements arrive in Linxiang, everything will be fine.
The two sides resisted each other for another half month, and Lingling reinforcements finally appeared under the city. More than three thousand Lingling Wu troops, led by the military governor Xing Daorong, appeared at the foot of Linxiang City.
"The reinforcements have finally arrived, Linxiang is safe!" Seeing the arrival of the Lingling Army, Ding Feng took a long breath and finally felt relieved.
Lingling's troops arrived, and there were eight thousand people joining the Linxiang garrison. At this moment, Bu Zhao was leading his troops north, and the reinforcements from Guiyang were also close at hand. Ma Di's doom was in sight.
The idea was wonderful, but Ding Feng's good mood did not last long.
Because the Lingling Army came swaying along the avenue under Ding Feng's delighted eyes, without even looking at Linxiang, they headed straight towards Xuqiu.
Then, without any obstruction, Xing Daorong led his soldiers and horses into the Shu army camp.
He just went in! !
"What's going on?" Ding Feng couldn't believe his eyes for a while, and repeatedly confirmed that it was his reinforcements.
My own soldiers and horses went straight to the Shu army and surrendered! I didn’t even catch a hair!
Who are these reinforcements aiding? Isn't it me?
"General... Lingling County soldiers seem to have surrendered to the enemy." Ding Feng's deputy general was also a little unbelievable, and it took him a long time to tell Ding Feng.
"I saw it!" Ding Feng was very angry and said coldly, hammering the city wall viciously.
"Sure enough, none of these Jingnan people can be trusted. They seem to have colluded with the Shu people a long time ago!"
"I should have gotten rid of it all!"
"Quickly, write a letter to Bu Zhao and tell him to take more precautions against Guiyang County soldiers!"

"Lingling Colonel Xing Daorong, see the general!"
At the Shu army camp, Xing Daorong solemnly saluted Ma Su and handed the big seal to Ma Su's hand with both hands.
"Are you Xing Daorong?" Ma Su felt a little unbelievable. The so-called Jingnan Five Tigers General Xing Daorong was actually a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty?
What kind of opening is this?
I must be opening it the wrong way!
"Of course, my subordinate Xing Daorong is the captain of the Lingling military governor." Xing Daorong nodded and answered honestly.
"In the past, County Sheriff Hao promoted someone from the countryside and assigned a person from the countryside under him to serve in the military. Later, County Sheriff Hao died because of the despicable Soochow and was implicated. We all want to avenge him."
"So now that I heard that the Han Heavenly Army has arrived, I went out of my way to deceive the governor into obtaining the military power of Lingling and offer it to the general!"
Sheriff Hao refers to Hao Pu, who is also one of Lao Liu's rare loyal ministers in Jingnan. It's a pity that the honest man was deceived by Lu Meng and lost all his pants, and he was eventually implicated and died.
Xing Daorong was a junior officer promoted by Hao Pu. He had always been dissatisfied with Soochow's villain style. Because of this, he directly took all the soldiers and horses in Lingling to defect to Shu Han.
"This... Captain Xing is truly a loyal and righteous man." Ma Su was a little confused, and after being stunned for a long time, he praised him.
On the surface, his mission was to appease Jing Nan, but in fact, he came to see if there was any loophole he could exploit. What he didn't expect was that someone actually showed up and defected.
If not, I’ll just talk about it…
But overall it's good, at least Xing Daorong is sincerely defecting. At the same time, Xing Daorong also brought two pieces of good news to Ma Su.
One is that he has brought all Lingling's soldiers and horses over, leaving Lingling County with no troops to defend. If we rush south to capture Lingling at this time, we can do it without a fight.
The other one is the soldiers and horses of Guiyang County, and the commander-in-chief Chen Ying is also a young man. At this moment, he is preparing to join forces with Bu Zhao, the governor of Jiaozhou. When the time comes, he is ready to switch sides and stab Bu Zhao.
"So there are actually twenty-five boys all over Jingnan, but I didn't recruit them properly?" After listening to Xing Daorong's report, Ma Su's first reaction was what did Soochow do for food.
There are so many heroes in the small Jingnan who plan to rebel against Wu and return to Han. I really don’t know how Soochow has been managing these years.
"General! This is a fighter plane given to you by God!" Liu Yin heard from the side and said to Ma Su excitedly.
"There are troops from Lingling defecting outside, and troops from Guiyang inside to support them. In this way, our army can decide the outcome in one battle and defeat the Wu army in Jingnan. By then, retaking Jingnan will be like searching for something!"
Lingling, Guiyang, Changsha, and Wuling have numerous waterway networks. As long as the key county towns are captured, the Shu army can move the people back to Shu in a leisurely manner, and the waterway is very convenient and there will be basically no too many casualties.
However, after thinking about such a good proposal, Ma Su shook his head and made a decision immediately.
"No! This is too risky for Captain Chen Ying! Once Bu Zhi notices, you can kill him first at any time."
"Han Chen's life is more valuable than his Bu Zhao's life. We can't take such risks!"
"Send someone to write a letter immediately and tell Lieutenant Chen of Guiyang to lead his troops to join him as soon as possible, putting his own safety first! As for the stallion, I will personally lead the troops to defeat it, and there is no need for Han Chen to do this. Put yourself in danger!"
Ma Di said these words righteously, directly rejecting Guiyang's plan to serve as an internal response. His serious attitude surprised even Xing Daorong, who looked at Ma Su in astonishment.
How come this Han general cares more about our safety than we do?
