Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 499 Schedule
After Guan Yu and Xu Chu withdrew, Pang Tong stood up slowly and said, "My lord, this battle should be defended rather than attacked."

Everyone was puzzled when they heard the words. Although Yuan Shang is strong and strong, they don't need to be afraid. Why is it better to defend than to attack?
The belligerent Xu Chu and others, upon hearing what Pang Tong said, immediately said in a hurry: "My lord, what is Yuan Shang worth?

This time, not only Xu Chu and Guan Yu, but almost all the generals stood up to fight.Guan Yu even said: "Military Master, although there are many Yuan troops, we don't need to be afraid of him. Why should we just defend and not attack?"

This was to express their dissatisfaction. Others dared not speak out, but when Guan Yu said it, they still nodded in agreement.Guan Yu dared to say that he didn't want to give Pang Tong face at the beginning. Although Pang Tong's reputation became better and worse later, he still did not change his original intention.This was also because Pang Tong had a cold attitude towards him, so he couldn't let go of his figure to apologize or something.

Pang Tong was not angry, his face was indifferent, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.Regardless of Guan Yu's doubts, he directly bowed his hands to Liu Yu and said, "My lord, Yuan Shang is strong and strong. If we fight him head-on, we will definitely lose a lot. In this way, it is not in line with our original intention. In addition, to defend Yuan Shang and attack Liu Pan, just took the opportunity to cut off the uncontrollable forces in Jingzhou."

Liu Yu kept nodding while listening.What Pang Tong said was indeed true. He didn't go straight to Xu Du in the first place in order to preserve his strength, and now he is naturally even more unwilling to confront Yuan Shang head-on.But blindly defending, he felt a little aggrieved, as if he was afraid of Yuan Shang.

"Shi Yuan, I'm afraid it's not good to just let Yuan Shang go like this?" Knowing that what Pang Tong said was right, Liu Yu said this in a negotiating tone.

Guan Yu, who was ignored by Pang Tong, was already angrily. If Pang Tong was not too valued by Liu Yu, he might have already done it.Even though he didn't make a move, he let out a heavy cold snort.However, Pang Tong still didn't look at him, which made him even more resentful.

Therefore, when he heard Liu Yu's words, he preemptively said: "My lord is right, Xiaopei has already been captured by Yuan Jun. If you let it go like this, it will definitely increase its arrogance. If one goes up and down, the morale of our army will inevitably increase." If it fell sharply, there would probably be many casualties at that time.”

Although Guan Yu was not angry with Pang Tong, he did not lose his mind, so what he said was not unreasonable.Not to mention Liu Yu, even Pang Tong agreed with what he said.

Pang Tong looked at Guan Yu in surprise, as if to say that you have such insight.This look made Guan Yu proud, but also a little annoyed at the same time.To be honest, Guan Yu still has this insight, otherwise he would not have defended Jingzhou alone in history and flooded the Seventh Army.

"Well, what Yun Chang said is good." Liu Yu nodded in agreement, but quickly turned his eyes to Pang Tong.

Pang Tong had already regained his composure. Seeing Liu Yu's questioning eyes, he immediately cupped his hands and said, "If Xiaopei is not lost, you just need to stick to Xiaopei. But now that Xiaopei is lost, if you just stick to it, Xuzhou will be full of wars." Therefore, from the general point of view, a cavalry raid can be used to disarm Yuan Jun. It is not necessary to reoccupy Xiaopei, but to defeat Yuan Jun's vanguard. In this way, Yuan Jun will definitely be shocked, and he must be more cautious when marching and fighting. Don’t dare to be unscrupulous.”

After a pause, Pang Tong continued: "From then on, our army only needs to lean against the city and attack Yuan Jun's logistics from time to time. In a few months, Yuan Jun will be exhausted and have to withdraw from Xuzhou."

Pang Tong's analysis was straightforward, and Liu Yu was quickly persuaded by him, but Liu Yu was not in a hurry to make a conclusion, but instead said: "The matter in Xuzhou is not urgent, let's talk about Jingzhou. This Jingzhou has already been controlled by Kong Ming, and the officials Most of the soldiers and soldiers have taken refuge in us, but there are still some stubborn ones, such as Changsha Liu Pan."

Jingzhou has changed a lot, and it is completely different from the time when Liu Ye controlled it.Zhuge Liang is even better than Liu Ye. He confuses Liu Qi with wine and meat beauties, and asks Commander Li Yan to "protect" Liu Qi with his personal guards.In this way, Liu Qi is equivalent to being imprisoned, but Liu Qi still trusts Zhuge Liang so much.

Above the government and the opposition, Zhuge Liang held great power and kept repelling dissidents, which made half of Jingzhou fall under his command.There are also loyal ministers who admonish Liu Qi with blood to show their ambitions with death, but Liu Qi is not moved by him and still trusts Zhuge Liang.

Liu Yu just stated the status quo and didn't talk about his own problems, but Pang Tong already understood.

"Liu Pan and Kong Ming don't deal with each other. He will definitely obey Kong Ming's orders, that is, he will definitely not really attack Jiangdong. Even if he does attack, he will definitely not use his full strength. Therefore, we need to take the initiative to attack. It is what I said before to attack Liu Pan by defending Yuan Shang. If this opportunity is missed, there may be turmoil in Jingzhou."

These words are not alarmist, because Liu Pan does have plans to separate Jingnan.The last time Liu Ye raided Jingzhou, he was caught off guard, so he chose to surrender.But he was not without ambition, so when Zhuge Liang took over the power, he took the opportunity to seize most of the power in Jingnan.

Zhuge Liang didn't move Liu Pan all the time, because at this time, he was going to fight Liu Yu, and it was impossible not to show any soldiers.Then, not only Yuan Shang is suspicious, but many people in Jingzhou are also suspicious.On the contrary, Yuan Shang would not doubt that he sent Liu Pan. At most, the Jingzhou people thought that he was going to kill Liu Pan with a knife.

This is really killing two birds with one stone. If you are not a wise person, it is impossible to make arrangements early on.It can be seen from this that Zhuge Liang is really not an ordinary person.

After listening to Pang Tong's explanation, Liu Yu decided to adopt his strategy.Therefore, he immediately stood up, and said in a deep voice: "What the military division said was exactly what I thought in my heart, so there is no need for the generals to say more."

In a word, express your attitude directly.Then, he changed his tone again, "The generals obeyed the order and ordered Xu Chu and Guan Yu to be the vanguard, each commanding [-] soldiers and horses, and rushing to Xuzhou today."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then suddenly said sharply: "Let those Yuan Jun know what is elite and how powerful my soldiers under Liu Yu are."

"Here, the last general obeys the order!" Xu Chu and Guan Yu stood up with a bang, their faces flushed red, and they shouted with encouragement.

Liu Yu nodded, his tone eased, and said: "Well, okay, you two go down and get ready."

After selecting the vanguard, Liu Yu began to arrange other generals.When everything was arranged properly, the people in the mansion almost left.But Pang Tong didn't leave because Liu Yu kept him.

Pang Tong was not in a hurry, and sat there leisurely.After a while, Liu Yu came back from the back hall.

As soon as Liu Yu came back, he said directly: "Shi Yuan, Zi Jing is not suitable in Xuzhou, I want to swap him with Yuan Zhi, what do you think?"
