Chapter 579

Liu Du even closed the city gates. Seeing this, the soldiers hurriedly bypassed the city and galloped toward other gates!

He still wanted to speak,

Liu Bei shouted,

"Men, bind this peerless vanguard commander for me!"

Xing Daorong??

In the main military tent,

The trussed-up Xing Daorong looked terrified; he hadn't expected to be captured just like that!

Zhang Fei slapped his helmet and roared,

"Didn't you want to kill me, the butcher of Zhuoxian? Today, I will carve you up alive!"

Xing Daorong said tremblingly,

"General Zhang, spare my life! I was also a butcher in Lingling, and I ran to Liu Du's camp to pose as a general."

The implication was that they were all in the same trade, so there was no need for Zhang Fei to kill him off completely.

Zhang Fei kicked him to the ground,

"Bah, you truly bring shame to butchers! Don't beg for mercy; today you must die standing!"

Xing Daorong hurriedly knelt; he had to kneel to live,

"Lord Xuande, I was just trying to earn a living."

Liu Bei waved his hand,

"No need for nonsense, drag him out and behead him!"

Xing Daorong's face changed drastically; was he so useless that even Liu Bei didn't want to recruit him?

He hurriedly shouted,

"Lord Xuande, General of the Cavalry, I have an eighty-year-old mother above and an ugly wife and young children below; spare me!"

"I only became a general to earn a salary; don't kill me!"

The netizens in the live broadcast room also burst into laughter,

"The eared thief is going too far; the man is just earning a salary, and he wants to kill him off completely."

"Eighty-year-old mother? Did his mother give birth to him at fifty? He just says whatever comes to mind!"

"This Xing Daorong doesn't seem very smart; if Liu Bei really wanted to kill him, why bring him into the tent?"

Zhang Fei roared,

"Disgraceful, too disgraceful! It's just a scar the size of a bowl; I'll behead you myself!"

Upon hearing this, Xing Daorong was even more afraid, tears streaming down his face,

"Lord Xuande, I am still useful!"

"Fine, tell me, what use are you?"

Xing Daorong hurriedly said,

"Lord Xuande, I know the deployment of Lingling City, and I am the number one fierce general of Lingling; I have great influence over the troops!"

Zhang Fei laughed heartily,

"Those subordinates of yours saw you defeated and ran faster than rabbits; influence over the troops?"

Xing Daorong's face darkened; why does this Zhang Fei always slap his face!

"I am willing to act as an inside agent, lead the great army into the city, capture the Liu father and son alive, and present them to Lord Xuande!"

The speed of his betrayal was so fast that everyone was nearly thrown off balance by Xing Daorong.

Liu Bei hummed,

"You betrayed them so easily; how can you make me believe that you are truly surrendering to me?"

Xing Daorong hurriedly said,

"Lord Xuande's prestige shakes the nine provinces; you defeated the eight hundred thousand troops of Yuan, Cao, and Sun. I was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, but now I have repented."

As Xing Daorong spoke, he suddenly realized: yes, the Liu father and son are nothing; Liu Bei is the true heroic lord. With his own ability to flatter—bah, his own bravery—earning a general's position would be more than enough.

"Lord Xuande, I am truly surrendering."

After speaking, he told them everything about the troop deployment within Lingling City.

Liu Bei? He still wanted to use Xing Daorong to fake a surrender and then trick the city... how is this going to work? It's disrupting his rhythm.

He glared at Xing Daorong,

"No, you cannot truly surrender!"

Xing Daorong??

Liu Bei explained his thoughts,

"You return to Liu Du, pretend that your surrender to me is fake, then light a fire in the middle of the night as a signal, and open the South Gate..."

Xing Daorong listened, feeling a bit confused.

Pang Tong explained it to him.

Xing Daorong understood: someone would disguise themselves as Liu Bei to lead troops into the city, then be met with a volley of arrows from Liu Du, pretend to be injured and run away, luring Liu Xian out of the city to pursue, and then capture him.

Xing Daorong returned to the city.

Zhang Fei cupped his hands,

"Big Brother, this Xing Daorong may not be reliable."

Liu Bei laughed,

"Naturally. E Huan!"

"Subordinate is here."

"Lead your troops to hide outside the Beimen. When you hear the sounds of battle rising from the South Gate, lead elite soldiers who are good at climbing to launch a surprise attack on the Beimen and take it for me!"

"Yan Yan, you lead your troops to charge into the city and take the Commandery Governor's Mansion!"

"Understood!" ===== CHAPTER 580 =====
