The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 351 Pang Tong Convinced
The news that Wei Tao's army moved soon spread to Sima Yi's ears.

In fact, from the beginning until now, most of the things have been in Sima Yi's expectation, or in other words, they have been done as he thought.

Sima Yi is very resourceful, and he is naturally very confident in himself, but self-confidence is different from arrogance.

Sima Yi also had some doubts about Wei Tao's 'cooperation', but it's a pity that when the matter was not imminent, even if he was suspicious, Sima Yi could not give up the plan he had already made at will. , Sima Yi nodded slightly and then directly ordered.

"The guards came in five groups. So General Cao Ren is leading the army. Please follow my order and send five generals to go. However, no matter who it is, please remember that you must always be by your side. There are guards at the moment, and the generals under Wei Tao's command are extraordinary, if anyone dies and loses because of this, it's nothing more than harming our army here, and it will be unforgivable if it ruins the prime minister's plan!"

Sima Yi spoke very harshly, and Sima Yi even directly named five generals of the Cao family.

Even if other people would not listen to Sima Yi's words, it is impossible for these generals of the Cao family not to listen to Cao Cao's major affairs.

Five generals of the Cao family immediately led the army away, and the Fifth Route Army immediately took away nearly half of the people.

However, as Sima Yi said, he was indeed fully prepared, and with a slight signal, someone lit a fire to send a message, and immediately another group of soldiers and horses rushed towards him. It was Lu Bu.

After being repelled by Wei Tao, Lu Bu did not immediately return to Yangzhou in defeat, but quietly led his troops back.

When Lu Bu rushed to kill him, Wei Tao thought for a while, and instead of continuing to sit in the army, he led an army to meet him.

Since Wei Tao dared to act, he was so unprepared. When soldiers and horses from all walks of life were fighting, someone came to report again.

"Report! There is an army of water coming down the river to kill our army. General Cao Ren may be defeated. Come to ask how to deal with it?"

Hearing this report, Sima Yi's face turned pale.

A wise man is bound to make mistakes, even though Sima Yi is a top strategist, but Sima Yi was only thinking about landing and fighting on the ground, but he forgot to think that this is Jingzhou, where the waterways are crisscrossed, and not only the cavalry come and go quickly, but also the navy.

This is the case in the battle of wits, the comparison is to see who will be short of chess, obviously this time it is Sima Yi who has not thought carefully, originally wanted to calculate others, but ended up being calculated by others.

"Wei Tao!"

Sima Yi almost gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. Even though he was scheming, he was still powerless at this time.

But it has to be said that Sima Yi's water is extremely ruthless, in an instant he has filtered everything in his mind, his eyes fixed, and he immediately gave the order.

"Order Cao Ren to retreat immediately, and order the other five generals to abandon their troops and retreat immediately before Wei Tao's encirclement is completed!"

This was almost like abandoning nearly half of the soldiers. Such a cold order made the messenger slightly taken aback, but in the end he flinched under Sima Yi's cold gaze, and hurried to deliver the order.

"clang!"

At this time, Wei Tao and Lu Bu fought again, and the two long halberds were handed over in the air. It's not that the soldiers of the two armies next to them didn't want to help each other, but as long as someone wanted to rush up, they would be met by someone who didn't know how. The halberd was injured, and even so, it did not cause the slightest hindrance to the two of them.

After more than a dozen people paid the price with their lives, such a situation still formed on the battlefield.

"I have to say, General Fengxian, that your martial arts skills have indeed improved, but it's a pity that you are getting old. Although your strength has not declined, but you have passed the peak, you have also improved, and my improvement is obviously more. "

Waving the halberd in his hand, Wei Tao did not rush to attack, but defended with all his strength.

Because of this, Wei Tao had time to speak.

Facing Wei Tao's words, Lu Bu didn't retort angrily like he did the last time they fought, nor did he have the arrogance he provoked in Xiangyang City before.
Just a silent attack.

It has to be said that Lu Bu is Lu Bu after all. Under such a silent offensive, even if there is an opportunity, there is no fatal flaw. It is possible to take advantage of the opportunity to counterattack and suppress, but it is almost impossible to take Lu Bu's life.

"Clang clang clang..."

Just as the two were fighting, there was a rapid sound of mingjin. Hearing this, Lu Bu frowned slightly, then let out a cold snort, and swept out with a halberd.

"Hmph! Next time I will have a showdown with you again! Then you will know that if I, Lu Bu, want to, I will definitely be able to improve my martial arts!"

When the words fell, Lu Bu had already turned his horse's head, and with the speed of the red rabbit horse chasing the wind under his crotch, Lu Bu retreated easily.

Wei Tao did not pursue Lu Bu, this time Lu Bu was prepared to advance and retreat freely, even if he pursued, it would not be possible to achieve great results.

After stopping the army, soon someone came to report that Sima Yi had led the retreat, and he did not enter the dead Jiangling, but retreated outward.

As for the separated five-way army, they were already besieged. Because of Wei Tao's order in advance, they were only forced into the forest temporarily, and no order was given to clear them up.

However, in the absence of food, grass and water, it is estimated that it only takes two or three days to catch him without a fight.

The result is very good.

However, it is also impossible for Wei Tao to avoid casualties. More than half of the soldiers stationed at the south gate were killed or injured. If he wants to deceive a wise man like Sima Yi, he must first deceive his own people.

So except for those who were assembled by Wei Tao in advance, the others did not know.

"Our army won this battle, and even though more than half of our army was spent here, Cao Cao would not be able to raise his troops immediately. In addition, if those soldiers can be persuaded to surrender, our army will be able to recover in a short time. Really Speaking of which, this time it’s not bad.”

Hearing what Wei Tao said, Jia Xu and Pang Tong who came all the way nodded silently, but soon Jia Xu shook his head slightly again.

"My lord, things are not that simple. This time, I suffered a loss from our army, so Sima Yi may not be able to retreat so easily. And this time, it still took advantage of Sima Yi not paying attention to our army's navy. If the next time our army won't So easy to design it."

Wei Tao nodded slightly. Speaking of which, both Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi suffered a loss from the navy.

But it's no wonder the two of them, after all, their thinking is often limited to land, but they didn't expect that Wei Tao would use the navy to move in a detour.

After all, compared with the 5000 years of China, there was little use of the power of the navy in the various wars, not to mention today, even resourceful people are inevitably negligent for a while.

This is also the benefit that Wei Tao's two lives can bring to people. Wei Tao's vision is not limited to the land.

"Hehe... I think that Sima Yi probably wouldn't have come to attack before he had tried it clearly."

At this moment, Pang Tong suddenly smiled, then stood up and bowed to Wei Tao.

"Pang Tong pays homage to the lord, and is willing to contribute to the great cause of expelling foreign enemies for the lord, and ask the lord to promise."

Wei Tao was taken aback for a moment, then overjoyed, and quickly helped him up.

"It is really a blessing to be able to get Shi Yuan's help. Shi Yuan's ability is comparable to only a few people in the world. If it is not for Shi Yuan's help this time, how can we get this result?"

"My lord, why should you hide it from me? Even if I hadn't come, I'm sure Sima Yi would not be able to escape the lord's plan. I'm afraid the lord had this plan when he let Sima Yi do his thing and let him enter Jiangling. Otherwise, what would General Gan Ning do?" Maybe it happened at this time? It can be said that Sima Yi was going to be defeated by the lord from the very beginning! Unification is just icing on the cake."

"Hehe... Shi Yuan is too modest. Although I was prepared, it would be difficult to achieve this result without Shi Yuan's reminder."

Wei Tao smiled again, but Wei Tao was not in the mood to continue speaking politely, and soon he had a certain look on his face, and spoke seriously.

"I don't know what advice Shi Yuan can give our army now? Sima Yi is very resourceful. If I hand over an army to Shi Yuan, I wonder if Shi Yuan is willing?"

Pang Tong was also slightly taken aback, he obviously did not expect Wei Tao to be so willing to believe him.

After all, Jia Xu was still on the sidelines at this time, after all, Jia Xu was resourceful enough to make Sima Yi difficult to please, but now Wei Tao entrusted this matter to him, a recent person, so it can be seen that he valued it.

"Thank you, my lord, for your trust. I will definitely not let Sima Yi succeed!"

Scholars die for their confidants, especially for people like Pang Tong. After agreeing, Pang Tong straightened his expression and immediately put forward his opinions.

"In that case, my lord. I have something to say. Nowadays, there are many heroes fighting in the world, and the outcome is close at hand. I am not familiar with other people and dare not make rash judgments. But I have known Kong Ming for more than ten years, but I understand it. Xin, now that he is assisting Liu Bei and has been defeated by the lord, he will definitely not give up. Now that Sima Yi is here, but there is no movement from him, I am afraid that he has really made a big move, so please be careful, lord."

"Ha ha……"

Hearing what Pang Tong said, Wei Tao couldn't help but smiled wryly. Seeing Pang Tong's strange expression, Wei Tao spoke up.

"I don't hide anything from Shiyuan until now. The battle with Sima Yi is so procrastinating and indecisive. It even seems like a fight and not a fight. It's all because of one thing. In fact, Liu Bei has already sent troops. But it's not Jingzhou. It's Xiliang. Under its offensive, our army retreated repeatedly, and even Tianshui was lost. If not, why should I do these procrastinating things, just kill Cao Jun directly? What's so scary about World War I?"
