Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 484 Pang Tong's Conspiracy ([-])
Outside Zhuyang Chengguan, it has entered the late autumn season, the leaves are falling, and the sky is dry.Whether it is Zhang He, Pang Tong or Xia Houdun, they are all on guard against fallen leaves that will cause fires.Especially Xiahoudun and Li Dian, the Zhuyang Pass they guarded is the most important. If they are accidentally lost, the whole Hanzhong will be exposed to the soldiers of Jin.

"Collect all the fallen leaves and throw them outside the city! These fallen leaves are extremely flammable, if they can be used as a booster for city defense." Xiahou Dun and Li Dian took the soldiers to deal with the fallen leaves in the city by themselves.

When Pang Tong saw this scene in the distance from the military camp outside the city, he snorted coldly, secretly thinking that Xiahou Dun was too cautious.

"Master Pang, General Pan Que of the Xudu Recruitment Battalion led two thousand elite troops to support him, and there is also a letter from His Royal Highness. Father is entertaining Pan Que and assigning recruits." Zhang Xiong came to call Pang Tong back, after all, Pan Que brought It is a big event to receive the order from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Pan Que? Well... I understand!" When Pang Tong heard the name Pan Que, he was still a little unfamiliar, but he immediately thought that this person was Pan Feng's son.Pan Feng died at the hands of Wen Chou, and he himself is the king's confidant, so his son status must not be underestimated.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhang Yun sat alone on the position of the chief general and read His Royal Highness’s handbook. After seeing Pang Tong, he said: “Your Highness’s meaning is very clear, and it’s still the same as before. We can choose whether to send troops or not. He only needs merit. .Obviously, if we lose troops, we can only be punished when we go back. However, His Highness asked for a person by name, and said that no matter how much troops were lost, he would try to bring that person back alive. If it is really impossible to bring him back alive, then Bring back the dead."

When Pang Tong heard that someone made His Royal Highness pay so much attention to him, he narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Isn't it Cao Zhi? Could it be Pound? No, Pound is certainly a general, but he is also a soldier who charges into the battle." , is almost the same as Wang Shuang. His Royal Highness will not hesitate to get a general of Wang Shuang type just like Wang Shuang. Could it be... Yang Xiu?"

After careful consideration, Pang Tong used the method of elimination to determine who the Crown Prince wanted to get.

Zhang He nodded and sighed, "It's just Yang Xiu. His father is a former captain, but he is just a yellow-mouthed kid after all. His Royal Highness, who loves soldiers like a son, wants to get Yang Xiu at all costs. It's really shocking." I don’t understand. But since it’s an order, I’ll take it.”

Pang Tong understood His Highness the Crown Prince's eagerness to seek talents, so he didn't talk nonsense.

"Okay! The general Zhang will send troops now, and I will guard the camp. Three thousand elites will be enough to destroy the remnants of Cao Zhi." Pang Tong narrowed his eyes and decided to guard the camp himself.And the credit for ambushing Cao Zhi's defeated army can only be given to Zhang Yun.

In Nanjun County City, Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu just entered the city yesterday, and news came today.Guan Yu led an army of 1 people to attack Nanjun, which made Yang Xiu very worried.

Cao Zhi was also a little flustered. Although he knew that the hinterland of Jingzhou was not easy to defend, no one thought that Guan Yu would come so soon!

"This is a conspiracy... No, it is a conspiracy! Cao Pi set a trap, we have no choice but to jump into it! Zijian, now that the vehicles and horses are exhausted, and the soldiers are exhausted, let Pang De come to guard Nanjun! Let's retreat to Baidi City, where the waterways are unblocked, and if the situation is unfavorable, you can retreat upstream.” Yang Xiu pointed out the location of Baidi City on the map a few times, and thought it was the best place to retreat.

Cao Zhi frowned, he didn't understand the war very well, so he asked: "But...if General Pang De is besieged in Nanjun, even if we can escape back, father will blame him, right?"

"Zijian, it doesn't matter whether the king blames it or not! The important thing is that you can or go back! The king also hopes that you can go back alive. Now the interior of Qin is no longer a place for us to live. You and I now have to face two roads. , One is to survive in the cracks, and the other is to die and survive! Defeat Cao Pi, and you will become the crown prince!" Yang Xiu was already in a hurry for the meeting, and he didn't want Cao Zhi to die here like this.Moreover, whether Cao Pi can become the king of Qin is another matter. As long as Cao Zhi must die, there is a glimmer of hope.

Cao Zhi sighed, he knew that although Yang Xiu sometimes acted aggressively, he would never harm himself.

"Okay! If that's the case, then let's go to guard Baidi City and let General Pang De guard Nanjun. He is a general, so there should be no big problem. I will leave him five thousand elites, which should be enough to guard the city." Cao Zhi Persuaded by Yang Xiu, he agreed to the plan to retreat to Baidi City.

At the border of Jiaozhou, Guan Yu led his army northward, preparing to retake the hinterland of Jingzhou.Originally, the hinterland of Jingzhou in the state of Chu was given to Cao Pi. This was Zhuge Liang's strategy.Now that Qin's army has been defeated in one fell swoop, it happens to take back the land of Chu.

In this way, not only can a large amount of grain and grass be seized from the Qin State, but also many elites from the Qin State can be captured.The key is that this is not only beneficial to Chu State, but also more beneficial to Cao Pi.

Yang Xiu and Cao Zhi lost the hinterland of Jingzhou in the state of Chu, and they would be impeached after returning to the country, so his crown prince would be more stable.

"Ping'er, Wuximan is a variable. Will they send troops this time?" Guan Yu attaches great importance to Wuximan, which is a difficult force to deal with in the southern hinterland of Jingzhou.

The leader of the Wuxi Man was Sha Moke, who was so skilled in martial arts that Guan Yu thought it would be difficult to take him down within thirty rounds.If Wuxi barbarian Shamoke sent troops to support Cao Zhi, it would be a big disaster.

Guan Ping narrowed his eyes and said, "Father, there is no news of Wuxi Man sending troops again. Since they assisted Cao Pi in capturing Nanjun last time, they have returned to the mountains with a lot of money and food. It's just that the leader of Nanman, Meng Huo, is currently stationed in Jiangxi. If they send troops here, they will be able to support the Qin army in Nanjun within ten days."

Guan Yu snorted coldly and said, "Meng Huo is nothing to worry about. His army is far away from here, even if they come here, it will be useless."

"General Guan is right. This Meng Huo belongs to Cao Pi, the prince of Qin, and he will never help Cao Zhi. Cao Zhi and Cao Pi are competing for the crown. Cao Pi must find a way to bring down Cao Zhi. Meng Huo's sending troops will not be good for Cao Pi." Huo Jun saluted Guan Yu from behind, very flattering.

Guan Yu snorted coldly, he was quite disdainful towards Huo Jun, and his attitude towards him was not even as good as that towards Xing Daorong.

In Guan Yu's eyes, Huo Jun is just a duplicitous villain!At first he was Cao Ang's general, and later joined the White Robe Army.As a white-robed army, he defected to the state of Qin and killed his colleague Wang Shuang who had been with him day and night.Forced to seek refuge in Chu State, even if Huo Jun has some talents, Guan Yu really disdains him.

Although both Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei can tolerate Huo Jun's behavior and understand that many of his things are out of helplessness, Guan Yu is different.Both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked down on Huo Jun, so they rarely communicated with him.

Chen Dao also despises Huo Jun, so this person is also very difficult in the Chu army.Only Zhuge Liang's trilogy can accept Huo Jun, and everyone else despises him.

Seeing that Guan Yu was disdainful of him, Huo Jun could only smile in embarrassment, then rode his horse to slow down and keep a distance from Guan Yu.

"Ping'er, you lead two thousand troops to capture Zhao County in the north of Nanjun, and block the way for the Qin army in Nanjun to retreat north." Guan Yu knew the terrain of Nanjun very well, so he directly ordered his son to pull out a nail first.

Guan Ping took the order and set off directly with his troops to capture Zhao County in the north of Nanjun.And he has absolute self-confidence, leading the army with a young man like Cao Zhi who doesn't know how to lead troops in war will definitely not be able to let the army show its full strength.

Resourcefulness is resourcefulness, strategy is strategy.Cao Zhi is wise but not resourceful, and Yang Xiu is good at strategy but not good at commanding the army. Leading troops to fight is the biggest weakness of these two.

Zhao County, Nanjun
In just half a day, Zhao County was conquered, basically without any city defense at all.Coupled with the fact that Guan Ping is brave enough, a mere Zhao county is within reach.

"Major General, since we have conquered Zhao County, why don't we take advantage of it and take Wangzhuang together! Wangzhuang is not the place where Qin's army camped. Although it is not very useful, it is also a strategic fortress." Deputy General Now full of confidence, Guan Ping's soldiers are also quite confident.

After calming down for a while, Guan Ping said, "No, let's send troops directly to stop Cao Zhi!"

Squinting his eyes, Guan Ping was also quite ruthless and decisive, directly ordering troops to be dispatched.

At dusk that day, Cao Zhi's army marched slowly on the official road from Jingzhou Nanjun to Baidi City, unable to pick up the speed at all.Yang Xiu didn't know how to lead troops, so he was at a loss now.

"Hahaha! Unexpectedly, as Cao Cao's son, Cao Zhi's ability to lead troops is so poor! Soldiers, kill me! Drive these Qin thieves out of Jingzhou." Guan Ping led his troops in pursuit, he did not expect He was able to catch up with Cao Zhi's army before dark.

Seeing that the remnants and defeated generals were all Qin's army, Guan Ping laughed loudly and charged forward.

"I am Guan Ping, General of the Chu Kingdom, and Cao Zhi is here to die!" Guan Ping rushed over with his troops.

The soldiers of Qin State panicked in an instant. They retreated and shouted one after another, and even put down their weapons and fled.

"Damn it! Zijian, let's go first! Suweiying quickly catch up and escort the young master to retreat!" Yang Xiu was also flustered, but he was not flustered and let Cao Zhi retreat first.

Cao Zhi was so shocked that he could only ride his horse forward at full speed.

"Don't panic, my lord, let me block Guan Ping!" A young soldier galloped out, holding a spear in his hand, and he looked like a general.

"Who are you?" Yang Xiu was curious and asked about this person's life.

"The last general Li Feng, the family fortune Li Yan!"

Hearing that this person turned out to be Li Yan's son, Yang Xiu was a little shocked.Originally, I thought that no one of the officials' children would follow him and Cao Zhi to send troops to Jingzhou, but I didn't expect Li Yan to be so courageous.

"Okay! All the fifteen thousand elites will be handed over to you! Block Guan Ping, don't love to fight, and quickly retreat to Baidi City!" Yang Xiu shouted at Li Feng, and at the same time rode his horse to catch up with Cao Zhi.

Li Feng narrowed his eyes. Although he was better at commanding the army than Yang Xiu and Cao Zhi, he was not Guan Ping's opponent.

"Soldiers, form a defensive formation, don't be afraid! We have a large number of people, unite and retreat!" Li Feng gathered the surrounding soldiers together in a few words and began to gather troops.
