After hearing Liu Xian's words, Xing Daorong asked in confusion: "General Liu, since you are ready to surrender, why not surrender directly? It is necessary to fight such a meaningless unjust war, which will increase casualties and hatred between the two sides for nothing. It seems a bit more than worth the effort?"

Liu Xian and Xing Daorong had a close relationship with each other, knowing that no one in Lingling had surpassed him in martial arts and military tactics, but when it comes to political vision and strategy, he was far from it!

Originally, Liu Xian could not answer this question, but because he could reflect his extraordinary abilities and win the respect of Xing Daorong, he patiently explained to Xing Daorong:

"This time the war with Liu Bei is not to win the victory of this war, but to be a gesture, to Prime Minister Cao!"

Xing Daorong said in a little confused: "Cao Cheng was defeated by Chibi and has now retreated to Xuchang. According to the spy's return, Jiangling faces the day and night attack from Zhou Yu in Jiangdong, and it is impossible for us to be taken into consideration. How could he say he was called to Prime Minister Cao?"

Liu Xian gave Xing Daorong a blank look and continued:

"We have been naturalized as Prime Minister Cao. Although it was because of Liu Cong's surrender, it was not a good reputation after all! Because of Cao's unexpected defeat in the Battle of Chibi, Lingling had to face Liu Bei's full-scale attack. It was naturally not enough to defeat Liu Bei, but he had to surrender without the war. Therefore, this is a war that must be fought. Otherwise, not to mention that after Prime Minister Cao made a comeback, there would be no good fruit from the Liu family, even if he surrendered, he would have to take a try to get his respect. Otherwise, there would be no day for our Liu family to succeed! Think about it, if it were you, who surrendered without the fight, would you still use it?"

Although Xing Daorong is almost an idiot in politics, this does not mean that he is not good at brain. He quickly figured out these principles and nodded and said:

"General Liu's words are reasonable, then you can fight, but I can't help you, because I have promised Zhuge Liang that I will no longer fight with their army!"

When Liu Xian heard this, he was immediately panicked because although he had good strategies, he was a complete layman in marching and fighting. His martial arts were also a scheming and did not have the ability to save his life on the battlefield!

Liu Xian had also read military books and strategies, but he felt it was boring and difficult to understand, so he gave up!

As for practicing martial arts diligently, he only persisted for several days. Despite the guidance of a famous teacher, he still failed to practice martial arts.

Liu Xian has led the Lingling Guards for many years, but fortunately, Xing Daorong, a good assistant, trained soldiers and marched and arranged formations, and he never had to intervene.

Liu Xian was used to being a hand-off manager, but now Xing Daorong suddenly ignored it. Liu Xian had no idea for a while, but he could not force Xing Daorong to break his promise and go to war. He had to use his brain and come up with solutions.

So, Liu Xian's eyes rolled and said to Xing Daorong: "Since General Xing has said that he will not fight against Kong Ming and others, you can't let you break your trust, but you should be able to come up with an idea for me, right?"

Although Xing Daorong was a little hesitant, he had room for his words and Kong Ming to protect Liu Xian's safety. When he remembered Liu Xian's trust in him, he offered his advice:

"Since Kong Ming will definitely come to rob the camp, General Liu can lie his troops outside the camp and set up flags in the camp. When Kong Ming comes to rob the camp, he will first let them enter the camp, and then fire the camp around him. When Liu Bei's army retreats and escapes, the ambush troops on both sides can be captured."

Xing Daorong's plan was a common method in the military books to deal with the robbery of the camp, but he still held back and gave himself a way out.

In order not to cause too much casualties to Liu Bei's army, he deliberately ignored the ambush of the crossbowman. In this way, although he could win a small game, his lethality was very limited!

At the second update of the night, Kong Ming's team of robbers appeared. They quietly came to the gate of the military camp, but they did not break into the gate, but each of them brought grass and snatched in front of Liu Xian and set fire to the camp.

Liu Xian's two ambush troops came out together. Before the two armies had contacted each other, Kong Ming's arson troops turned around and retreated.

Liu Xian led his army to catch up, but Xing Daorong could not stop it, so he had to follow Liu Xian and lead hundreds of elite guards to protect Liu Xian's safety.

Liu Xian led his army to chase after him for more than ten miles, and Kong Ming's thousands of troops quickly merged into the night, as if they disappeared out of thin air.

Liu Xian was shocked and suspicious, so he rushed back to the camp. He saw that the fire had not yet disappeared, and a general emerged from the camp, which was Zhang Yide.

Because it was dark, Zhang Fei was eager to go out to chase him.

When Liu Xian saw that the military camp had been lost and could not return to the camp, he asked Xing Daorong:

"Daorong, now that the camp is lost, where are we going?"

Xing Daorong didn't want to fight this battle, so he replied:

"Waring at night, soldiers are easily injured by accident, and Zhang Fei dares not pursue them. It's better for us to return to Lingling City for the time being, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

Liu Xian didn't say anything, turned his horse's head and walked forward less than a mile, suddenly stopped and said:

"Daorong, if you retreat like this, you can't explain to your father. If you lose the military camp, we will just go to rob Kongming's camp."

Xing Daorong couldn't persuade him, so Liu Xian returned to his army and walked less than ten miles. Ma Su led his army out of the assassin.

Xing Daorong went up to stop Ma Su, and Liu Xian rushed to run away.

Behind Ma Su, Gong Li and Tian Shi came out together, and the three of them surrounded Xing Daorong.

Xing Daorong was not able to defeat him, so he had to smile bitterly, abandon his axe and dismount, and surrender to Ma Su again.

Ma Su ordered Gong Li to take Xing Daorong down and pursue Liu Xian slowly.

When Liu Xian was running away, he met Zhang Fei head-on. Zhang Fei captured the horse alive with one move and tied up to see Kong Ming.

Liu Xian saw Kong Ming's face was not good, afraid that Kong Ming would kill him. Seeing that Xing Daorong was not there, he thought he had escaped, so he said to Kong Ming first:

"I wanted to surrender, but Xing Daorong taught me how this is not my heart."

When Kong Ming heard this, he knew that Liu Xian was shirking responsibility. He didn't ask much questions, so he asked his left and right to release him, return his clothes and armor, and gave him wine to suppress his shock. He sent him into the city and said that his father Liu Du opened the city gate and surrendered.

Before leaving, Zhang Fei threatened viciously: "If you, father and son, surrender if you don't open the city gate, wait for me to break the city and kill all the people!"

Although Liu Xian is a second-generation official, he has some talent, but he has never seen such a scene! When Zhang Fei shouted loudly, he was so scared that his face looked like earth and sweated coldly!

Liu Xian returned to Lingling to see his father Liu Du. He changed his attitude of fighting a few days ago, and described Kong Ming's virtue and Zhang Fei's courage, and advised his father to surrender in the city.

Liu Du is an old spirit and wants to surrender long ago, but if he wants to raise his son, he makes up his mind and hand over the decision-making power to Liu Xian.

Liu Xian wanted to fight, and he was very supportive, so he asked him to lead Lingling's war-torn troops to fight!

Now that Liu Xian is defeated, his army is all disintegrating, and he can't defend the city even if he wants to defend it. Naturally, Liu Du will not object to surrender!
