Chapter 433 The Anti-Cao Alliance in Jingnan? General Xing Daorong is here!
荆南
Changsha County border
In the marching tent
Han Xuan sat in the main seat, waiting for the arrival of the other three governors of Jingnan.
In some ways, Han Xuan was a real man.
To oppose Cao Cao means to carry on the cause of opposing Cao Cao to the very end.
But one person's strength is ultimately too weak.
Therefore, Han Xuan sent envoys to invite Liu Du, the prefect of Lingling, Zhao Fan, the prefect of Guiyang, and Jin Xuan, the prefect of Wuling, to hold a meeting in Jingnan.
The four prefectures of Jingnan were also ranked in different ways.
Changsha County has the richest population and resources, and the largest military force. Han Xuan is undoubtedly the strongest, with an army of 20,000 under his command.
The other three counties are sparsely populated, but with enough new recruits and garrison troops, they can still muster several thousand to tens of thousands of soldiers.
Therefore, Han Xuan was determined to become the leader of the alliance and lead the Jingnan coalition to achieve great things!
"Report!"
"Prefect Liu Du of Lingling has arrived!"
Upon hearing the news of Liu Du's arrival, Han Xuan rose to greet him.
Liu Du, with a kind face and even a slight tremor, walked in.
He is almost sixty years old.
Although they were also members of the Han imperial family, they were of distant blood ties and were not valued by the court.
Beside Liu Du were two protectors, one on his left and one on his right.
The man on the left is in his thirties, younger than Liu Du, and looks about five or six points similar to Liu Du. He is clearly Liu Du's son.
The one on the right is something else entirely!
This man was burly and had a face even bigger than Guo Tu's, with eyes full of confidence.
He turned to the guard beside him and said:
"Catch my pear blossom splitting axe."
"If anything goes wrong, you'll be held responsible!"
"Here!"
The guard looked at him with admiration.
Yes, this person is none other than the famous General Xing Daorong of Lingling, who is known for his unparalleled bravery!
Lingling was just a prefecture; there was no such position as a Supreme General.
But in order to highlight Xing Daorong's "bravery," Liu Du naturally had to satisfy him.
When Han Xuan saw Xing Daorong appear, a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
Xing Daorong has long been a well-known figure in Jingnan.
That pear blossom-shaped axe was Xing Daorong's ancestral weapon.
It is said that Xing Daorong used it to cut off at least seven or eight thousand heads, if not tens of thousands!
Clearly, Liu Du and Xing Daorong are well-versed in public opinion trends.
Jingnan has a total population of less than 500,000. So Xing Daorong alone killed 2% of Jingnan's population?
"Prefect Liu has gone to great lengths to come to this alliance meeting. On behalf of the people of Changsha, I thank you!"
Han Xuan personally poured Liu Du a cup of wine.
At the same time, wine was poured for Liu Du's sons, Liu Xian and Xing Daorong.
Xing Daorong downed his drink in one gulp, wiped his mouth with a flourish, and displayed the demeanor of a general.
"Prefect Liu, please take your seat. After Prefect Jin and Prefect Zhao arrive, we will formally swear an oath of blood."
Han Xuan greeted Liu Du and his entourage with a smile.
The great undertaking is not yet complete, and we still need the support of Liu Du and others for the time being.
Liu Du, on the other hand, seemed quite relaxed.
Xing Daorong, on the other hand, was not so well-behaved.
He stared at Huang Zhong, who was standing next to Han Xuan, and said with a disdainful tone:
"You are Huang Zhong?"
Huang Zhong frowned slightly, but his good manners still made him subconsciously cup his hands to Xing Daorong and say:
"I am Huang here. General Xing, what instructions do you have for me?"
"I've heard you're the fiercest general under Prefect Han, and I, Xing Daorong, would like to test my skills against you!"
After he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the tent fell silent instantly.
Liu Du stroked his beard, seemingly very confident in Xing Daorong's martial prowess.
Han Xuan also watched this scene with great interest.
Huang Zhong sized up Xing Daorong.
With his martial arts skills, he could easily see Xing Daorong's true level.
To put it nicely, they're quite capable.
To put it bluntly, he's only third-rate. Huang Zhong could probably behead Xing Daorong with a single blow!
But Xing Daorong is only in his early thirties, and he has already become famous.
Huang Zhong pondered whether or not to give Xing Daorong some face.
"Hmph! General Huang remains silent, could it be that he is afraid of me, Xing?"
"Since that's the case, then I, Xing, will let you off this time. We'll settle this another day!"
Huang Zhong was speechless.
You're the one who wants to fight, and you're also the one who says you won't.
So you've already shown off all your skills, huh?
However, Huang Zhong was deeply worried about the vast disparity between Jingnan and Cao Cao, as well as his son Huang Xu's chronic and incurable illness.
He had long since become indifferent to matters of fame and fortune, so he simply stopped arguing with Xing Daorong.
As for the original history, Huang Zhong repeatedly served as the vanguard after joining Liu Bei, risking his life without hesitation.
Perhaps because his son Huang Xu had already passed away, leaving him with only his wretched life, he figured he might as well fight for a place in history.
But to others, this scene clearly showed Xing Daorong's superior martial arts skills and Huang Zhong's cowardice.
In an instant, Xing Daorong's title of "Number One Fierce General in Jingnan" was like a hidden, glittering title hanging above his head!
Han Xuan also looked at Liu Du with envy.
Huang Zhong was very skilled in martial arts, but his age was a factor.
In Han Xuan's view, although Huang Zhong was the fiercest general in Changsha, he was still far inferior to Xing Daorong.
Amidst the praise and admiration of the crowd, Xing Daorong curled his lip, revealing an air of arrogant mastery.
Perhaps he's addicted to showing off.
It's also possible that Xing Daorong really got carried away.
Suddenly, Xing Daorong clasped his hands in a fist salute to Han Xuan and Liu Du and said:
"My lord, Prefect Han, please rest assured."
"With this pear blossom axe in my hand, I'm sure those like Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, Gan Ning, and Wei Yan will be utterly defeated!"
"it is good!"
"General Xing has great courage."
Han Xuan was overjoyed.
With a fierce general like Xing Daorong in Jingnan, how can we not achieve our great cause?
By the afternoon.
Prefect Zhao Fan of Guiyang and Prefect Jin Xuan of Wuling also arrived one after another.
Changsha Commandery was located in the middle of the four commanderies, so the distances taken by the four governors from their respective capital cities to the meeting place were roughly the same.
Zhao Fan and Jin Xuan did not have a "fierce general" like Xing Daorong under their command.
The two men also greatly admired Xing Daorong.
Under Han Xuan's leadership, the four governors of Jingnan swore an oath of brotherhood, with Han Xuan serving as the leader of the alliance.
But what the four of them didn't know was...
All intelligence about this alliance meeting was obtained by Su Yu's intelligence agents planted in Jingnan and quickly sent to Jiangxia.
……
Jiangxia
Secretary Huang Yueying is giving Su Yu a back massage.
Huang Yueying was not only skilled in mechanical arts like Huang Chengyan, but also in chicken traps.
All I can say is that Zhuge Liang had a truly sharp eye.
Unfortunately, his life as a wanderer destined him to never be with Huang Yueying.
Huang Yueying, Su Yu's secretary, read the intelligence report on the alliance sent by Cao Cao's intelligence guards.
There was no worry in Su Yu's eyes, only amusement.
This is like someone who's used to playing in top-tier matches suddenly sending Su Yu to a silver-tier match, with his teammates being the other three of the four scourges of Cao Cao's camp.
It's hard to lose a battle like this!
But when Huang Yueying read the phrase "Xing Daorong, the fiercest general in Jingnan".
Su Yu couldn't hold it in any longer and spat out the water he was drinking.
Huang Yueying gave him a resentful look, then smiled charmingly.
Listening to Xing Daorong's boastful words, Su Yu decided to grant him his wish to get beaten up.
Fortunately, Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, Gan Ning, and Wei Yan are all currently in Jiangxia.
It remains to be seen whether Xing Daorong can withstand the iron fist of love from these four people.
