At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the era of heroic talents was full of talents, in addition to the strategists who had the merit of ruling the world, there were also generals who went into battle to kill the enemy. The five tiger generals of the Shu kingdom and the five sons of the Wei kingdom were all great generals who could be remembered, but in addition to them, there were also some generals who also appointed themselves to be combined, such as the five brave generals of Jingnan.
Many people may not have heard of this combination, but when it comes to Xing Daorong, the head of the Five Courageous Generals of Jingnan, many people must be impressed. Why is he so famous? It was not that he fought any influential victories, but from his ignorant courage, when Liu Bei followed Ma Liang's advice and wanted to send troops to conquer the four counties of Jingnan, and the first stop was Lingling County.
As the first defensive general of Lingling County, Xing Daorong, in the face of the vanguard army of Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei and others, he was not only not afraid at all, but also scolded Zhuge Liang for stealing Zhou Yu's Great Victory in Chibi, and ridiculed Zhang Fei for being born as a wine and meat butcher. Isn't this Xing Daorong really wise and courageous? Dare to shout like this? As a result, when the two armies fought, he did not survive Zhao Yun's move, and he was beaten under his horse and became Liu Bei's troops.
The story did not end so quickly, and if it were only like this, Xing Daorong would not be remembered. Zhuge Liang interrupted xing Daorong's words to determine that this person was a fraudulent surrender, so he released him back to Lingling. After returning to the city, he began to fabricate facts in a big way, saying that Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei and others were afraid of him, so they released him back. How could such a repetitive person escape Zhuge Liang's magic eyes?
He used the middle of the plan to send Zhang Fei to lure the main force of Lingling out of the city, and then Liu Bei's army surrounded them. It was precisely because of this capriciousness and lies that Xing Daorong was remembered as a joke by later generations. On its true level, at most a second-rate general, and a super-first-class martial general like Zhang Fei Zhao Yun, is there any reason not to lose?
