Chapter 15 Military General Xing Daorong! Can he do it?
Chu Yang was speechless for a while. Of course he knew Xing Daorong. The general who was born in the 2000s and was fooled by Zhuge Liang in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms did not look like someone who could handle a big responsibility.
But on second thought, no matter what, Xing Daorong was a figure from the Three Kingdoms period, and a military general, so he shouldn't be bad.
Think of this.
Chu Yang could only accept this reality helplessly.
According to the system prompt, Xing Daorong was framed and imprisoned in prison. Now that the county magistrate absconded with the money, he took the opportunity to escape.
Now he is rushing to Qiongzhou City day and night with a few trusted confidants.
After all, Chu Yang’s fame in Qiongzhou is at its peak!
"I hope Xing Daorong won't let me down."
Chu Yang sighed. He could only take things one step at a time.
Three days later.
Outside Qiongzhou City.
"Xu~"
A fast horse came galloping over, and sitting on the horse was a burly man, who was Xing Daorong.
He was dusty and looked exhausted, but his eyes were gleaming with excitement.
"Is Qiongzhou City ahead?"
Xing Daorong reined in his horse, turned around and asked a thin man beside him.
"Reporting to the general, the city of Qiongzhou is just ahead!" the man replied respectfully.
"Okay! Let's hurry up, brothers. Don't keep King Qiong waiting for too long!"
Xing Daorong laughed loudly, waved his whip, and spurred his horse to gallop again.
The guards at the city gate saw a group of people galloping towards them from afar and immediately became alert.
When they got closer and saw that the people coming were not Japanese pirates, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Whoever is coming, please tell me your name!"
A guard captain stepped forward and asked.
"Haha, I'll scare you by saying my name!"
"I am Xing Daorong, the general guarding Sanqing County, and I have come to pay my respects to His Majesty the Prince of Qiong!"
Xing Daorong jumped off his horse with a roar like a loud bell, making the ears of the guards around him buzz.
"It turns out to be General Xing! His Highness has been waiting for you for a long time!"
When the captain of the guard heard that it was Xing Daorong, he immediately stood up in awe and bowed quickly.
Obviously Chu Yang had already arranged to welcome Xing Daorong's request.
"Take me to see His Highness!"
Xing Daorong waved his hand and spoke impatiently.
"General, please follow me!"
The captain of the guard did not dare to delay and immediately took Xing Daorong and others into the city and headed straight for the palace.
In the study of Prince Qiong's palace.
Chu Yang was discussing military strategies with Zhao Yun and Suo Si when he suddenly heard a commotion outside the door.
"Your Highness, General Xing requests to see you!"
A guard's voice came from outside the door.
"Oh? He's finally here!"
Chu Yang was immediately refreshed upon hearing this, and quickly stood up and said, "Hurry up and invite me in!"
"promise!"
After a while.
The door of the study was pushed open, and a tall figure appeared like an iron tower, blocking the light from the door.
The man who came was Xing Daorong, and behind him were several of his trusted followers, all of whom were vigorous and strong, and it was obvious at first glance that they were experienced warriors.
As soon as Xing Daorong entered the room, he fell to his knees with a plop, clasped his fists and said, "I am Xing Daorong, the last general, and I pay my respects to Your Highness!"
"General Xing, please stand up quickly!"
Chu Yang hurried forward and helped Xing Daorong up personally.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Xing Daorong stood up and stared at Chu Yang with his piercing eyes.
But after a moment, his face became much darker, and he said with difficulty: "It's embarrassing to say that I could have brought 2,000 soldiers with me, but I was betrayed when I was about to fight the Japanese pirates."
"Not only was my military power taken away by the abominable county magistrate, I was also thrown into prison!"
"If it weren't for you, Your Highness Prince Qiong, I would never have made it! I feel so ashamed of the Great Zhou!"
As he spoke, Xing Daorong knelt down and clasped his fists, saying, "I have long heard of the benevolence and righteousness of His Highness Prince Qiong, and I have come here today to surrender to you. I am willing to serve you like a dog and a horse!"
Chu Yang looked Xing Daorong up and down. Although his face was rough, his eyes were very sincere. His liking for him increased instantly.
"Good! I am very pleased that General Xing can come!"
Chu Yang patted Xing Daorong on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Come here, take a seat!"
"promise!"
The guards brought a chair and Xing Daorong sat down with his arms and legs stretched out.
"I wonder how Your Highness plans to deal with these Japanese pirates?"
After Xing Daorong sat down, he couldn't wait to ask. He spoke directly without beating around the bush, which made Chu Yang find it quite interesting.
"It's a long story, but with your joining, our army will surely be greatly encouraged."
Hearing this, Xing Daorong waved his hand and said proudly.
"Your Highness, in my opinion, these Japanese pirates are nothing but clowns. Why do you need to worry so much about them?"
"Just give me three thousand soldiers and I will lead them to Sanqing County and kill them without a single soldier left."
"And hang their heads on the city gates as a warning to others!"
Chu Yang laughed awkwardly without showing any emotion, thinking to himself that Xing Daorong was really a rough man, but his personality was somewhat similar to Zhang Fei, both of them were the kind of reckless men who were brave but not wise.
"General Xing, don't worry. I summoned you here not to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese pirates."
Chu Yang waved his hand, signaling Xing Daorong to calm down, "I have already made up my mind, but this matter still needs to be considered in the long run."
"Oh? I wonder if Your Highness has any brilliant ideas? Could you tell me a thing or two?"
When Xing Daorong heard Chu Yang say that he already had a plan, he immediately became interested and asked quickly.
"It's a long story, but..."
Chu Yang deliberately prolonged his voice to whet Xing Daorong's appetite.
"But what?" Xing Daorong asked anxiously.
Chu Yang smiled slightly and said, "General Xing has been dealing with the Japanese pirates for many years. How much do you know about them?"
Hearing this, Xing Daorong's originally excited expression suddenly dimmed and he sighed.
"Alas, it is embarrassing to say that although these Japanese pirates are few in number and have no armor, they are very skilled in swordsmanship, and they have been lurking in hilly and mountainous areas for a long time. Their whereabouts are uncertain and it is difficult to eliminate them."
"I don't know how many times I have led my army to surround them, and when we were about to win, they slipped back into the sea like loaches!"
Xing Daorong became more and more excited as he spoke. He slammed his fist on the table, causing the teacup to jump up.
"Your Highness, you don't know that these Japanese pirates are very cunning. They..."
Xing Daorong wanted to continue speaking, but was interrupted by Chu Yang.
"Okay, General Xing, I understand."
Chu Yang already had a plan in mind. The pirates' fighting style was exactly the same as what he remembered from his previous life.
"General Xing, I order you to lead 2,000 soldiers to Sanqing County to check the situation of the Japanese pirates. Your main task is to keep an eye on the pirates and report the situation to me in real time." Chu Yang ordered.
"Huh? Just...just staring?"
Xing Daorong was a little dumbfounded. He thought Chu Yang would let him lead the army to wipe out the Japanese pirates, but he didn't expect that he would just let him keep an eye on it?
"What's the matter? Is General Xing afraid?"
Chu Yang looked at Xing Daorong with a half-smile, he knew that this brave general must be unconvinced.
"How could I be afraid of those Japanese pirates?"
When Xing Daorong heard Chu Yang say that he was afraid, his face immediately turned red, and he said with his neck stiff, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely live up to your trust and keep a close eye on those Japanese pirates!"
"Well, go ahead." Chu Yang nodded.
"promise!"
Xing Daorong bowed, turned around and left the study.
"Suo Si, help Mr. Wang deal with the order issues in the city."
Chu Yang turned around and said to Suo Si who had been standing behind him.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Suo Si bowed in response, then turned and left the study.
"Zilong, come with me."
Chu Yang stood up and said to Zhao Yun.
"Ah."
Zhao Yun responded and followed Chu Yang out of the study.
