Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 74 Fighting Pang Juan
The two armies spread out in the wilderness, and the cold wind blew through, exuding a biting chill.A soldier held a bamboo slip in his hand and ran quickly to the place where Zhao Wuming was: "My son, the enemy general Pang Juan has sent a letter of war, and I invite you to go to the front to talk."

"The fourth brother can't, how can you go to the dangerous place in person as the master general."Seeing Zhao Wuming take the bamboo slips, Zhao Yu stopped him immediately without waiting for him to open his mouth.

Xue Qian looked ahead and saw the endless Wei soldiers, and quickly echoed: "If Pang Juan lays an ambush, the fourth son will be captured if he goes here, and our army will be defeated."

"Pang Juan asked me to go alone, and at the same time he also promised to be alone. Instead of riding a chariot, he only rode a horse, and stayed away from the arrows between the two armies to show his magnanimity."After Zhao Wuming watched the bamboo slips carefully, he closed them and handed them over to the two.

After watching the bamboo slips, Zhao Yu handed them over to Xue Qian, and then looked at Zhao Wuming: "Looking at the words of the bamboo slips, Pang Juan can be regarded as upright. Whether or not to go to the appointment is up to the fourth brother to decide on his own, and I will not stop and persuade him."

"Thank you, big brother, for completeness."After Zhao Wuming finished speaking, he patted the horse's back, and the horse galloped forward.

Not long after, we arrived at the meeting place, a table had already been set up, there were two seats on the ground, and there were several jars of wine on the table.Pang Juan sat on the ground and didn't raise his head when he heard the sound of horseshoes. He just picked up a jug of wine and filled both wine bottles to the brim.

Seeing this, Zhao Wuming got off his horse, and sat down directly without any formality. The two war horses were leisurely looking for dry grass behind their owners.

"Zhao Wuming, the fourth son of Zhao Guo, the successor of Zhao Guo Anyang Jun, please."Pang Juan put a full wine bottle in front of Zhao Wuming, and then picked up another bottle.

Zhao Wuming quickly picked up the wine bottle: "Pang Juan, General of the State of Wei, please."

The two looked at each other and smiled, although they had something to say in their hearts.But no one spoke first, but drank the wine in the wine bottle in one gulp.

The two drank three bottles in a row, and Pang Juan seemed to sigh sincerely: "I have heard about your son's name for a long time, but I only know Zhao Wang is so cool today."

"My son has also heard the name of the great general of the Wei State for a long time, and I only knew that the King of Wei was short-sighted when I saw it today."Zhao Wuming also seemed to be feeling sincerely.

Pang Juan smiled and did not answer, but continued his own questioning and said: "Young master is the successor of Lord Anyang, and he has a strategy in mind. Not only does King Zhao not love his talents, but he is mean and ungrateful, which makes people feel disgusted."

"The king of Wei obviously had a piece of fat meat that could be easily obtained, but he didn't take it. Instead, he wanted to eat a piece of hard bone, but he was so unwise."Following Pang Juan's example, Zhao Wuming didn't answer his question, and went on to say what he wanted to say.

Pang Juan looked at Zhao Wuming, knowing that it was meaningless to continue, and then changed the topic: "The young master gathered 20 defeated troops with 15 people, and smashed the [-] soldiers and horses of our army Wei Ang from front to back. Students admire ".

"The general set up an ambush at night, and only dispatched [-] infantry and [-] military pawns. He smashed our army's forbidden army and private soldiers. If it weren't for God's help, our army would have been defeated. If you want to say admiration, it should also be unremarkable admiration." General".As Zhao Wuming said, he filled up the two wines, then picked up his own bottle, and drank it down to Pang Juan.

Seeing this, Pang Juan also picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, shook his head slightly at Zhao Wuming, and then sighed: "Our army is defeated, it is defeated, and there is no need to attribute the blame to God's will."

"In the past few days, Wuming has something unclear, and I ask the general to enlighten me."Zhao Wuming didn't want to linger too much on this topic, so he changed the topic immediately.

There was a look of surprise in Pang Juan's eyes: "If you have a problem, young master, it's okay to say it."

"The general has been enjoying the blessings in the camp these days, why did he come today to bring people out for fun."Zhao Wuming asked Pang Juan meaningfully, and finally looked at the war horse behind him from the corner of his eye.

Pang Juan showed a questioning look, and looked at Zhao Wuming after a long while: "Young master, I don't know, our king of Wei recently rewarded the general with a good horse, just in time to hear rumors. I believe that the king of Zhao in the capital city is the most willing to ask for it." The art of horses. I'm going to think about it, I'd better go to Xindu once, and ask King Zhao to take a good look at this fine horse."

"It's just that the road here is blocked, and I'm afraid the general will not be able to do what he wants."Zhao Wuming also made a look of embarrassment.

Pang Juan's face gradually relaxed: "Young master, I can't go here. Is there no other way to go? I have heard people say that the other way is much easier than here."

"The general doesn't know something, but I heard about it today. The road on the left seems to be malfunctioning again."Zhao Wuming was startled, fortunately he discovered it in time today, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Pang Juan raised his brows, as if he was really worried about this matter: "Faults? Hey, this is really worrying. I don't know if it's inconvenient for the young master, so I will sort out these faults. If the king of Wei finds out, he will definitely thank the young master."

"Unfortunately, my son is very busy, I'm afraid I can't do anything."Zhao Wuming couldn't understand Pang Juan's solicitation, so he quickly refused.

Pang Juan's brows gradually relaxed, and he looked Zhao Wuming up and down: "Young master, don't you think about it? King Wei's generous spending is not comparable to King Zhao."

"As a son of man, please forgive me for not being able to help me."Zhao Wuming refused again. It is an unwise choice to seek refuge in Wei Guo, whether it is based on emotion or reason.

Feeling a strong refusal, Pang Juan picked up the wine jar and filled two wine bottles: "Forget it, it seems that this matter can only be handled by this general alone."

"I don't know how the general wants to deal with it."Seeing Pang Juan pouring wine, Zhao Wuming asked subconsciously.

Pang Juan pondered for a long time, looked at the wine bottle, and then sighed: "Since the small road is impassable, we can only take the big road. Hey, fortunately, I will take a lot of people on this trip. There is a saying that there are more people and more strength. If these obstacles are removed, wouldn’t this road be passable?”.

"As far as I know, there are many thorns ahead. The general always cherishes his subordinates, do you understand?"After Zhao Wuming finished speaking, he picked up the wine bottle and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing Zhao Wuming drinking, Pang Juan took a sip and drank it himself: "My lord, I don't know. Ever since I was about to get this good horse, this good horse refused to eat. Seeing that it was about to starve to death, I had no choice but to immediately eat it." Go to Xindu. Let Zhao Wang diagnose the cause and prescribe the right medicine."

"Then ask the general to take good care of this fine horse, and don't let it starve to death on the road."Zhao Wuming seemed to comfort and remind Pang Juan.

Pang Juan smiled, and a sense of arrogance came to his face: "Don't worry, my lord, the general will ask someone to calculate the time, and now there is still time to write."

"Since this is the case, don't bother the general to go to Xindu, and I will leave."After Zhao Wuming finished speaking, he stood up and saluted Pang Juan.

Pang Juan also stood up and returned the salute: "Since you and I are the masters and have important matters, I will not force you to stay."

As soon as the words fell, the two walked towards their own horses, patted their backs almost at the same time, and ran towards the army.

Seeing the lord general walking in the direction of the army, the soldiers on both sides breathed a sigh of relief.At the same time, one by one, the phalanxes rushed towards each other, and the sound of shouting and killing resounded across the sky.
