Waiting until daybreak, Huang Xu and others finally captured a few of Xing Daorong's men. To be precise, they were originally here to ambush, but now they became prisoners due to some unexpected circumstances.

After some questioning, Zhou Gongjin and Huang Xu finally understood what happened here.

By coincidence, among these captured people, Xing Daorong was among them.

Unlike the others, who were all captured, Xing Daorong himself ran out of the grass in a panic after seeing Jiangdong's soldiers and horses. At the end, he raised his hands and shouted to surrender.

In addition, the remaining people had a somewhat fishy smell on their bodies, so that the people who caught them looked disgusted and were not even willing to touch them.

The ensuing inquiry went extremely smoothly. To be precise, with Xing Daorong joining in, it was a matter of course.

Just half an hour later, both Zhou Gongjin and Huang Xu's faces were covered with black lines.

What's this? I've been calculating carefully for a long time, but I didn't expect that Zhang Fei's men would be killed in the hands of his own people in the end, and they would also be given laxatives.

"Where did you get so many laxatives? Even the medical officer doesn't have much of these, right?"

Zhou Gongjin looked at Xing Daorong, who was as fat as a pig, with a dark face.

"I don't know either. My two brothers did it."

Xing Daorong smiled and seemed a little embarrassed."

"If I remember correctly, you can be considered one of the Five Tigers of Jingzhou, right?"

Zhou Gongjin looked at Xing Daorong with a smile on his face. As soon as he said these words, Xing Daorong suddenly felt happy.

But before he could speak, Huang Xu burst out laughing.

"Five Tigers of Jingzhou, is it possible that Liu Xuande's subordinates are all such losers? Look at his physique, a general who leads troops to fight forcefully, in my opinion, he looks like a pig!"

Huang Xu didn't have a good impression of such a surrendered general, so he spoke straightforwardly.

"this……"

Zhou Gongjin didn't know how to respond for a while. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Xing Daorong really didn't have any impressive achievements.

"Wait a minute, if he didn't really learn from reality, why would Liu Xuande value him so much? Could it be..."

Huang Xu suddenly thought of something, and his expression became interesting.

"Have you thought of anything?"

Zhou Gongjin looked like he was eating melon.

Only Huang Xu himself knows that if this matter is discussed, it may be closely related to the situation laid by his adoptive father in the early years.

Huang Xu did not hide anything, and immediately informed Zhou Gongjin about the year and month review.

"At the same time, the adoptive father didn't think too much. He just thought that he might need it in the future. He didn't expect..."

After speaking, Huang Xu glanced at Xing Daorong beside him.

When Zhou Gongjin learned about this, he burst out laughing.

Then he directly pulled Xing Daorong out of the camp, and not long after, he pulled him in again. However, when Zhou Gongjin looked at Xing Daorong again, there was a hint of disdain in his eyes.

After some testing just now, he was very sure that the Xing Daorong in front of him was just a loser, without any real skills and knowledge, and he knew nothing about leading troops in war.

Now it seems that Liu Xuande actually chose such a person as the commander of the army, and was also called the Five Tigers of Jingzhou by the outside world. It was really laughed at!

Ever since Zhang Fei heard about Wu Hou's message, he couldn't hold back his anger and went to Jingzhou to find Liu Xuande, leaving only Xing Daorong, who knew nothing, to lead the troops.

When encountering such a thing, Xing Daorong didn't know what to do for a while, which led to yesterday's scene.

After learning the truth of the matter, Huang Xu and the two men immediately understood that they had indeed made a fuss out of a molehill yesterday, so why bother with it.

"I understand. It seems that Liu Bei's side must be extremely short of men now. To be precise, there is a lack of generals who can lead troops to fight!"

Regarding what Zhou Gongjin said, Huang Xu also nodded.

This is indeed the case. Looking back at Xi Yu's subordinates, almost all those who led the troops in the war were led by him, and they also studied the tactics of all parties.

Take the most obvious Huang Xu as an example. Although he may not be as good as Zhou Gongjin in leading troops in battle, his understanding of war and his forward thinking can often come up with winning points that others ignore.

"Now it seems that Liu Xuande's side is not a piece of metal!"

"But what is the truth? I have sent Baiqi's men out to find out the news. I believe there will be news soon."

Zhou Gongjin was not idle either, and immediately sent someone to invite Guo Fengxiao to come to discuss the matter.

It is not easy to defeat Jingzhou. This is a battleground for military strategists. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. In addition, Liu Xuande is now guarding here, so he will not take it lightly. He has sacrificed a lot to get this.

.

Liu Xuande originally established the world with benevolence and righteousness, but after so many years of baptism, he is no longer the people-oriented descendant of the royal family.

Soon, Guo Fengxiao brought people over. Zhou Gongjin didn't hide anything and told him exactly what happened here. Unexpectedly, Guo Fengxiao also laughed after hearing it.

"I have inquired about the situation in Jiangxia. The leader of the army is Ma Liang, the deputy general Guan Ping, and the military advisor is Xu Yuanzhi. This person can be regarded as a friend of mine for many years, but I have not seen him for a long time!"

Having said this, Guo Fengxiao showed a strange smile on his face.

"Now I seem to understand why my lord asked me to stay here. Perhaps he had already anticipated that it would not be easy for us to take Jingzhou directly. If we take Jiangxia first, maybe I can find a way to avoid fighting alone!

"

As soon as Guo Fengxiao said these words, the eyes of the two people suddenly widened.

"What can be done?"

You must know that there are fifty or sixty thousand troops stationed in Jiangxia, and there are also many warships. It is tantamount to dreaming to capture them without spending a single soldier.

What's more, Zhou Gongjin was already prepared to send troops to attack, otherwise he would not have pulled all the army to Huangpi.

"The method is very simple, you just wait here quietly, I will go alone!"

Guo Fengxiao spoke slowly and said what he was thinking.

"No, it really won't work!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Huang Xu refused without thinking and went to capture Jiang Xia alone. What is the difference between this and dreaming!

Not to mention that Guo Fengxiao is also considered his uncle and his adoptive father's right-hand man. The position he currently holds does not allow him to take risks.

To be able to gather so many knowledgeable people around each person is enough to show that this person has something extraordinary.

Just like Duke Cao back then, there were countless talented people around him, including even his adoptive father Xi Yu, who had thought of joining him.

"You don't have to think about this matter so much. I dare to say such things, so I have a certain degree of confidence."

"Of course you don't know that Xu Yuanzhi still owes me a favor. I'm sure he won't kill me!"

Guo Fengxiao's face was filled with confidence.

"Even so, who can guarantee that people like Ma Liang can't move you? If it were me, I would do whatever it takes to keep you in Jiangxia!"

Zhou Gongjin originally thought that after saying these words, he could dispel Guo Fengxiao's thoughts, but he didn't expect that the next second he would see the look of urgency in the other person's eyes.

"If that's the case, there's nothing wrong with it. If he really leaves me at the foot of the river, wouldn't we have a reason to send troops to Jingzhou?"

"Exchanging my life for the land of Jingzhou is not a loss-making deal no matter how you think about it!"

Huang Xu couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. He never expected that Guo Fengxiao had such a plan.

"This is absolutely impossible. If my adoptive father knew about it, he would definitely not agree to it."

Huang Xu's head shook like a rattle.

"Don't forget, I am your elder. How dare you not listen to me?"

Seeing that Huang Xu refused to let go, Guo Fengxiao directly revealed the identity of the elder. This time, Huang Xu could only curl his lips.

"Even if you go, I can't let you go alone. I'll go with you so that we can take care of each other if anything unexpected happens."

I originally thought that after I said these words, Guo Fengxiao would agree without even thinking.

Unexpectedly, he actually frowned and looked at him, which made Huang Xu feel a little embarrassed.

"You? Can you do it? Are you sure you won't do anything bad?"

Guo Fengxiao's words were not groundless. After all, Huang Xu's character was mostly playful, and it might have been self-defeating.

"It's okay if you want to go with me, but I can tell you in advance that Xu Yuanzhi is not an ordinary person, and his swordsmanship is also first-class. If you go with me, you must obey my arrangements. If you

If you can promise, I will take you with me, otherwise, don’t even think about it!”

Seeing that Guo Fengxiao didn't seem to be joking when he said this, Huang Xu quickly shook his head.

"What are you talking about? Of course I won't be fooling around!"

Although he said this, Huang Xu's face was full of embarrassment that his thoughts had been read.

After all, my character is indeed a bit playful. The reason why I don't show it obviously at ordinary times is because my adoptive father keeps suppressing me. If I don't do it right, I will get beaten. But now is an excellent opportunity. If I don't seize it,

You never know when the next time will be.

"Uncle Fengxiao, just believe me. I really want to protect your safety. I have absolutely no other thoughts. If you ask me to go east, I will never go west. If you ask me to hunt birds, I will never steal chickens!"

"

"Okay, okay, then it's settled!"

"Gong Jin, I'll leave the matter here to you first. I believe that with your ability, you should know what to do next!"
