Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 82 Unexpected reinforcements

In the dark night, a convoy of supplies was rushing through the night, and the leader was none other than Han Meng.This road of grain and grass has just been transferred from the Wuchao grain and grass camp, ready to be transported to the front line.Han Meng knew that grain and grass were a big deal, and Tian Feng and Jushou had entrusted them before, so he never dared to be careless in escorting grain and grass, and whenever he was free, he would do it himself.

"General, the enemy is attacking from the left!" Han Meng was on guard when a scout from the left rushed towards him. "The whole army is suspended, and we will line up to meet the enemy!" Han Meng is also a battle-tested general. While preparing to meet the enemy, he sent someone to report to the Guandu camp, trying to hold the enemy army back and swallow them up.

"Who is coming?" Han Meng gradually saw clearly that there were indeed a large group of people approaching slowly with torches in the dark night on the left, and one of them was holding a big ax first. "Hedong Xu Huang, let the little thief die!" Xu Huang also didn't respond, and directly slapped Han Meng on the horse.Han Meng was furious, and stepped forward to fight against him with a sword in his hand.

"Huh!" Seeing that Han Meng fought with him for dozens of rounds, Xu Huang was also a little surprised.I thought that the person who escorted the food and grass was just an ordinary school lieutenant, and he could handle it easily, but I didn't expect that he was stuck here now.Fortunately, I had been prepared for a long time. Just as Han Meng was struggling to fight, suddenly another group of men came out from the right rear.This group of people did not step forward to fight, and directly threw the torches in their hands at the heavy truck from a distance.Since most of the sergeants' attention was focused on the duel on the left, they were caught off guard, and all the heavy trucks were on fire.

"Retreat!" Seeing the fire, Xu Huang wanted to take the opportunity to escape after completing the task.When Han Meng saw that the luggage was on fire, he was in a hurry, and he didn't care about fighting Xu Huang again, so he rushed to put out the fire.After a group of people finished their work, it was already twilight, and Yan Liang, who happened to come to meet him, also arrived.

"Sixty-seven out of ten of the grain and grass were burned." After counting, Han Meng was a little dejected.Seeing this, Yan Liang couldn't say anything, so he could only comfort him as much as possible.

"Food buckets!" In the Guandu camp, Yuan Shao said angrily to Han Meng, who was kneeling and begging for sin.Although there is no shortage of food and grass for the time being, it is always good to have more. I didn't expect that Cao Mengde would be fooled again.

"Han Meng, punish you with three months' salary!" Yuan Shao thought about it and decided to punish Han Meng a little, after all, he is also his confidant general.Han Meng promised in a low voice, but did not leave for a while.

"What else is there?" Seeing Han Meng's delay in leaving, Yuan Shao asked impatiently.

"My lord, just now when we were picking up the food and grass, we saw that General Han Juzi, the guard of the Wuchao camp, was seriously ill and bedridden. I'm afraid we need to send someone else to guard this important place." Han Meng hesitated for a while, but still told the truth.

"Is Han Juzi sick?" Yuan Shao was also a little surprised when he heard this.Looking at the generals around him, who is going to guard Wuchao now that the battle is in full swing.After looking at it for a long time, Yuan Shao had no choice but to wave his hand to signal that he knew it, and make plans later.

"You are Xiangyang Longguang?" Looking at the ugly and somewhat shocking young Confucian scholar in front of him, Zhao Feng was more sure of his identity.

"Student is right!" Long Guang didn't seem to care much about Zhao Feng's identity, he just bowed slightly as a salute.

"What can you do to help me level up Soochow?" Zhao Feng suddenly felt teasing at this point, and without waiting for Long Guang to answer, he added: "As far as I know, Xiangyang can have such abilities. There is only one person. I have sent many people to invite me, but this person's life line is uncertain, and the dragon can't see the end, so I haven't been able to see it."

"But I don't know who this person is?" Long Guang asked curiously after hearing the words, the eagerness in the corner of his eyes still could not escape Zhao Feng's observation.

"Mr. Fengchu, Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan!" Zhao Feng said with a chuckle, Long Guangwen in front of him suddenly had a very strange expression when he heard this, and after hesitating for a long time, he made a plastic surgery and bowed deeply to Zhao Feng: "The general is really insightful, please forgive Pang Tong's bullying sin, but I don’t know how the general knows the identity of the subordinate?”

"Hehe, Long Guang is a Pang character. Your Excellency has already revealed his identity." Zhao Feng laughed, seeing that Pang Tong still had some hesitation on his face, he simply said the truth: "Actually, I am not particularly sure, I just cheated." It's just a fraud, I didn't expect that Your Excellency is really Pang Shiyuan." He immediately beckoned him to sit down.

"I wonder if Mr. Shi Yuan came here this time, what can I teach Zhao?" Zhao Feng asked after he sat down, but he was so happy that he was about to bleed: I didn't expect Pang Xiaoniao to come to the door like this, Lao Tzu really exploded in character.

"The general is serious!" Pang Tong looked more serious at this time, and continued with a light sigh: "Since he bid farewell to the teachers and friends of Lumen Mountain, he wants to go to Lujiang to look for the general. To tell the truth, the general, Tong originally wanted to I planned a plan for the general to cross the river, but I never expected that the general would overcome the dangers of the Yangtze River with ease. Even if such a clever plan was designed by the general, it is ashamed. Offender, the military discipline is strict, and he is really a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. I also saw that the general built a dock at the mouth of Ruxu, guarding the strategic point of the military, and won the skill of using troops. I really admire the general!" Pang Tong praised again and again. .

"Sir, you are serious!" Seeing that Pang Tong respected him so much, Zhao Feng felt proud but felt a little embarrassed.The previous ones are fine, but in the end building a dock at Ruxukou is my own strategy of learning from history Zhou Yu and Lu Meng.Although it cannot be regarded as plagiarism now, it is not original after all.

"At present, the frost has not disappeared and the roads are blocked. I wonder if the general will point at Poyang, Yuzhang, or Danyang after the spring begins?" Pang Tong asked slowly with a smile.This question made Zhao Feng's heart tremble, now that Zhou Yu sent heavy troops to guard these three places, it would not be too easy for him to attack any one next.It is precisely because of this consideration that I used the winter to tinker with the trebuchet, thinking that it would be easier to attack the city.

"Naturally it's Poyang or Yuzhang." Zhao Feng didn't intend to hide it from him, since he wanted to be willing to contribute, he had to be involved in these matters from the very beginning.Unless Pang Tong was a traitor sent by Soochow, sooner or later he would have to know, and if he said it earlier, he would be able to show his sincerity.

"Why not Danyang?" Pang Tong seemed to have expected Zhao Fengfeng's answer, so he squinted his small eyes and asked pointedly.

"Danyang is guarded by Sun Yi and Gu Yong with an army of [-]. It is urgent not to take it. The garrison of Poyang is only [-], and the garrison of Chaisang at the gate of Yuzhang is only [-]. If we can attack Zhou Yu with Jingxiang's troops, such a major event will be settled." Zhao Feng said with a smile.

"Hehe, although the general's plan is clever, it is still unknown whether Jingxiang's troops can flank Zhou Yu with the general!" Pang Tong said with a smile.

"What do you mean by that, sir?" Zhao Feng couldn't help being a little strange when he heard the words, and asked hastily.

Pang Tong sighed, and then said: "Tong has been in Jingxiang for a long time, and he knows that most of the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou have not practiced for a long time. Although there are resourceful men like Kuai Yue, the soldiers and horses are at a disadvantage. How can we beat them?" Zhou Lang? If Liu Pan’s army who invaded Jiaozhou in the south can be brought in, we can still fight. If we only rely on the troops of the Cai Mao brothers, we will definitely lose.”

"So, sir, you think Jingzhou's troops won't be able to survive the beginning of spring?" Zhao Feng felt a little unbelievable, no matter how good Liu Biao was, he probably couldn't do that.

"Most likely, it depends on whether Liu Jingsheng will make some adjustments." Pang Tong's tone was not optimistic.

"Since this is the case, then our army will attack Danyang first at the beginning of spring?" Zhao Feng asked in disbelief.You must know that the city wall of Danyang is very dangerous, and there are [-] garrisons. Although [-] of them are soldiers from the county, even if you have a big killer like a trebuchet, it may take tens of thousands of lives to take it down. Casualties are not what Zhao Feng wants to see.

"That's right, Danyang. As long as you take Danyang, you can go straight to Sun Quan in Wujun, and Zhou Yu will have to go back to the army to rescue." Pang Tong was very sure. Seeing what Zhao Feng was about to say, Pang Tong added with a smile: " In fact, although Danyang is dangerous, but if the strategy is right, it can be done sooner or later."

"I don't know what is the master's plan to take down Danyang easily?" Zhao Feng asked in disbelief.

"The defender of Danyang is Sun Yi, Sun Quan's younger brother. He has a strong temperament, much like Sun Ce. With such a temperament, it is good for morale to fight in front of the battle, but it is inevitable that he can take advantage of it when he defends the city." Pang Tong laughed.

"So easy?" Zhao Feng felt a little unbelievable when he heard this, isn't it that simple?

Sure enough, Pang Tong also had the following: "Furthermore, there are many mountains in Danyang that are rampant. Since the Sun family has been in Jiangdong, they have been attacking and killing Shanyue, and have a deep grudge. If Shanyue can help, this matter will be easy."

"How can I get help from the mountains?" Zhao Feng felt that Pang Tong's words were a bit mysterious. How could he contact those barbarians living in the mountains?It is not so easy to persuade them to help.

"The general may not be able to, but there are people in Xuzhou who can." Pang Tong replied confidently.

"Who is it?" Zhao Feng asked hastily.

"The former governor of Xuzhou, Tao Qian and Tao Gongzu!" Pang Tong replied.Seeing Zhao Feng's expression of disbelief, he quickly continued to explain: "Tao Gongzu was originally from Danyang, and he became an official in Danyang because of his filial piety. He is a clean and honest official, with many kindness and people, even Shanyue admires him a lot."

"That being said, it has been six years since Mr. Tao passed away, so Shi Yuan still expects him to show his spirit?" Zhao Feng frowned when he heard that, but he thought of those elite soldiers from Danyang, most likely they were the Shanyue Army.Being able to incorporate Shanyue into the army, it seems that Tao Qian has a good friendship with them.

"Although Tao Gongzu died, his son is still alive. If he can be invited to contact him, it will be easy to settle the matter of Shanyue!" Pang Tong laughed.

Zhao Feng was also silent for a moment when he heard the words, and then he said: "I can't decide what to do here, I should write a letter to inform the lord, and ask Mr. Tao to come and help." After finishing speaking, he ordered the person to write a letter to report to Liu Bei, but his heart was filled with emotion Qian: I didn't expect Tao Qian to be able to do himself such a big favor after being dead for so many years.
