Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 331 Pang Tong's Plan

"I don't know why Shi Yuan is?"

Ma Chao's sudden words also caused a change in the atmosphere in the main tent.

Pang De also frowned, and then relaxed it; Ma Dai didn't speak, and remained silent; after all, no matter what purpose Pang Tong had, at least he didn't have any malice towards them, and he also helped a lot.

Not only Ma Chao, but both of them felt that there was a problem in supporting Nanyang this time.

It cannot be said that the suggestion given by Pang Tong was not good, but that Pang Tong concealed some things, which was Pang Tong's own purpose.

Pang Tong grinned.

Of course he also knew why Ma Chao would ask such a question, and there was nothing strange about such a question, after all, no one wanted to be ambiguous, even if the plan he offered was beneficial to Ma Chao.

But if there are doubts, that is a problem.

I didn't figure it out, but I was still vigilant in my heart.

Then he smiled and said, "I just need a certificate of nomination!"

"Certificate of application?" Ma Chao asked suspiciously.

"Exactly!" Pang Tong nodded and said, "Although the general has the heart of a hero, he doesn't have the ambition to be a hero, so the subordinates persuade the general to support Nanyang. You must know that it is easy to add flowers to the cake, but it is difficult to send carbon in the snow!"

heard.

Ma Chao also nodded, agreeing with Pang Tong's words.

In his heart he wanted to establish a career of fame and fame, but he had no intention of striving for hegemony, otherwise he would not have agreed to support Nanyang, but would have stayed in the Qiang land and established his own power.

"The general has an enmity with Cao Cao. In the Central Plains, there are not many princes who can compete with Cao Cao, and Liu Qi, the shepherd of Jingzhou, is one of them. In addition to the crisis in Jingzhou, the general led the army to come to support, so the general is considered to be in Jingzhou. Mu's subordinates can also be reused!"

"If Jingzhou is not lost, there will be a battle between Cao Cao and Jingzhou Mu sooner or later. After all, both of them have the heart to fight for the Central Plains!"

Pang Tong said flatly.

"But you can also take refuge in Yuan Shao in Jizhou, or Liu Bei in Xuzhou, or Sun Quan in Jiangdong, right? And even if we have enemies with Cao Cao, it is not impossible to vote under Cao Cao's command! Why come to join the chaotic Jingzhou In?" Pound said with a gleam in his eyes.

"No!" Pang Tong shook his head and said to himself: "Although Jingzhou seems to be in danger, the outcome is unpredictable. No one can say what will happen in the end. If Jingzhou wins, then the general situation will be settled. If we fight, Liu Qi will be able to enter the Central Plains, but if we lose, Liu Qi can completely retreat to Yizhou and Jiaozhou, and then start planning!"

"What's more, although Jingzhou is at a disadvantage now, it is not without the opportunity to fight back. Otherwise, Cao Cao would not choose to attack Nanyang in name, but secretly transferred his troops to Bingzhou; the final battle situation in Jingzhou What will happen depends on whether Jingzhou City, Jiangxia and other places are attacked first, or Jingzhou's reinforcements arrive first!"

Pang Tong comprehensively analyzed the current situation.

Although Nanyang was not breached because of their arrival, there were not many soldiers left to defend the city, and they could not support the rest of Jingzhou.

Jingzhou City is hard to protect, but Jiangxia is not so easy to be destroyed.

Then all that remains is to see when Jingzhou's reinforcements will arrive and whether they can regain the lost territory.

Moreover, he also has doubts in his heart, that is Jiaozhou, Liu Qi personally led the army and the Nanman army, there has been no news for several days.

There are news from other places from time to time.

Only the situation in the direction of Jianning is a little vague, as if something happened.

"And what are your thoughts?"

Ma Chao's voice sounded.

It also interrupted Pang Tong's thoughts.

"Jingzhou Mu Liu Qi's subordinates are like a cloud of fierce generals and a forest of counselors. If you and I don't express anything, how can we integrate into it? Generals, what you need is bravery, but what I need is strategy, that's all!" Pang Tong said with a slight smile. .

This remark also showed his reason.

Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Pang De also fell silent.

They could also hear a lot from Pang Tong's words.

As Pang Tong said, he, Ma Chao, has no intention of fighting for hegemony. In this way, in this chaotic Central Plains where the princes occupy each side, they need to find a backer, and Liu Qi is his target candidate, so he came to support Nanyang, in order to leave a good impression.

But Pang Tong relied on them, and also relied on Liu Qi.

"There are so many lords in the world. With the ability of Shi Yuan, they don't necessarily have to choose to come to Jingzhou?" Ma Chao asked.

"Jingzhou Mu's surname is Liu, and he is the descendant of the clan!" Pang Tong replied without the slightest hesitation.

"Xuzhou Liu Bei is the same!" Ma Chao also said quickly.

heard.

Pang Tong was silent for a while, and then said quietly: "Xuzhou, I have already been there, but the general doesn't think Jingzhou is the time for me to show my talents?"

See Pang Tong changing the subject.

Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Pound could all feel what Pang Tong must have encountered in Xuzhou.

But Pang Tong didn't say it clearly, and they wouldn't go to the bottom of it. After all, who doesn't have some secrets.

"The life and death of Liao Hua, the general of Nanyang, is unknown, and Jingzhou City is in danger. It will take a while for Nanyang to report the situation here to Jiaozhou. Waiting is not a solution. I wonder if Shiyuan has a countermeasure?" Ma Chao said.

"The [-] Jingzhou army in Xinye set up camp in the main road to stop the [-] army led by Yan Liang, but they can only stop it for a while. After all, there is no danger to defend from Xinye to Jingzhou City. Even if our army detours to Jingzhou City, it is now Even if we don’t have enough soldiers and horses, we won’t be able to take back Jingzhou City from Yuan Jun!” Pang Tong said.

Ma Chao and the others also nodded. With thousands of soldiers and horses, it is impossible to capture Yuan Jun who can rely on the city wall. Unless Jingzhou City has not fallen, and the inside and outside cooperate, it is possible to defeat Yuan Jun by attacking from both sides.

However, the premise is that the Jingzhou army believes in them.

Pang Tong walked to a map, pointed at the map, and continued: "Please look, general, our army is here now, and Zhang Baiqi and Zhang Miao have bowed their heads. We can take Yingchuan, Xuchang, Chenliu and other places. It can cut off the retreat of Yuan Jun's retreat to Jizhou and put pressure on Yuan Jun who entered Jingzhou; secondly, it can be used as a barrier in Nanyang; thirdly, if Liu Bei's soldiers and horses in Xuzhou bypass Runan, we can go straight to Xiaopei and let Liu Bei Had to come back!"

After listening.

"I'm waiting for a second opinion!"

Both Ma Dai and Pang De agreed.

Before Ma Chao could make up his mind.

Pang Tong continued: "At the same time, the general can write a letter with his own hand, send an envoy to Nanyang City, and ask them to deliver the letter to Jingzhou Mu, and everything will be safe!"

"So, according to what Shi Yuan said, we will take Yingchuan, Xuchang, Chenliu and other places!" Ma Chao said with a flash of light in his eyes.

Decide.

Ma Chao didn't hesitate, and quickly wrote a letter in his own hand, which was sent to Nanyang City.

Finally, let the soldiers have a big meal, rest for a day, and then lead the army to Yingchuan and other places.

Among Yanzhou.

Because Zhang Baiqi and Zhang Miao jointly attacked Nanyang, there were not many soldiers left behind.

Relying on thousands of soldiers and horses, and recruiting some surrendered soldiers, it is enough to seize several places.
