Chapter 80 Pang Tong!!
In the next few days, under Yuan Shu’s orders, the people and money and grain of the counties around Shouchun poured into Shouchun City.
The nearby counties seemed to have experienced locust crossing, leaving not a single grain behind, and they were also uninhabited.
However, the people of Shouchun City are several times more, there are many more simple houses in the city, and the grain and grass transported are piled up in the warehouses of Shouchun City.
The city defenses of Shouchun City are constantly being strengthened, and all kinds of wood rolling stones are piled up on the city wall, the situation has become solemn, and the number of patrolling soldiers has gradually increased.
At the same time, more than ten miles outside Shouchun City, Cao Chen had already arrived with his troops, and after arranging for the soldiers to start camping, the tent was first erected.
Cao Chen led everyone in and sat opposite each other, everyone looked relaxed, Cao Chen said after a slight groan.
“General Yuan Rang, did the Yuan Jun generals who were captured before be transported smoothly?”
“Qiqi Army Division, I have arranged for two generals, Miaocai and Xu Rong, to lead 30,000 cavalry to escort tens of thousands of prisoners back to Xudu.”
“According to the orders of the military division, this battle will not use so many soldiers and horses, and the 30,000 cavalry to siege the city will not be of much use.”
Xiahou Tian respectfully replied, after all, as the power of Cao Ying grew step by step, although Xiahou Tian and the others had a good relationship with Cao Chen, they also changed their titles to military divisions.
Hearing that the prisoners had been escorted back, Cao Chen breathed a sigh of relief, after all, there was not too much grain and grass transported on this trip, and Cao Chen originally wanted to feed the war with war.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Jun actually stood firm and retreated to Shouchun City, but this was easier to solve, Cao Chen looked at Xun You and asked.
“Gongda, how long will Liu Xuande and Sun Bofu arrive, and they have to make some efforts in this siege!”
“The Qi Army Division, saying that it will arrive today, should not be far away, but Sun Bofu said that there will not be too many soldiers and horses under his leadership, only 30,000!”
“Presumably, other troops are used to stay behind, after all, they took the opportunity to seize many counties and counties during this trip, but they got a lot of cheap!”
Xun Youlang replied, everyone couldn’t help but let out a cold snort after hearing it, Sun Ce took the opportunity to invade the county and county was easy, and Cao Chen waved his hand carelessly and said.
“If you want to get it, you must first deal with it, but some counties are just that, after all, I don’t have many soldiers and horses, and I can’t occupy the whole Yangzhou!”
“After this battle, it depends on the situation, if there are no accidents, I only need to occupy some important counties.”
“I have sent troops and slashed the enemy the most, they cannot and dare not come to rob me of the credit, the reason why they led such a step over, they have long been defended!”
After everyone listened, their faces gradually eased, and their faces showed a battle intent, and at this time, there were soldiers outside to report.
“Qi Jun Division, Liu Xuande and Sun Bofu are here, only a few miles away from our army camp!”
“Just right, you guys go with me to greet you, after all, this face still has to be given!”
A brilliant light flashed in Cao Chen’s eyes, got up and said, everyone in the tent got up and walked out with Cao Chen.
Not long ago, with the sound of horses’ hooves, two teams of soldiers and horses had already rushed over, and Liu Bei and Sun Ce arrived first with the guards.
Coming to Cao Chen and turning over and dismounting, Liu Bei and Sun Ce followed by several people directly greeted him, and said with a smile.
“Master Cao, it’s not too late for me to wait!”
“Just in time, you guys will enter the tent with me and others!”
A smile also appeared on Cao Chen’s face, and after Sun Ce and Liu Bei told the guards to go to Anyin and set up a village, they came to the tent together.
After arriving at the tent, of course, Cao Chen did not let him sit on the main seat, and the others sat opposite each other, and everyone began to look at it first.
Zhou Yu and Pang Tong became interested in Cao Chen on the main throne, while Cao Chen looked at everyone in the account, conscious of the communication system.
“System, check Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Pang Tong attributes!”
“Military General: Sun Ce (Zi Bofu)”
“Favorability: 30”
“Force: 95, Commander-in-Chief: 93, Resourcefulness: 80, Politics: 60”
“Military General: Zhou Yu (Zi Gongjin)”
“Favorability: 35”
“Force: 75, Commander-in-Chief: 96, Resourcefulness: 101, Politics: 86”
“Military General: Pang Tong (Character Shiyuan)”
“Favorability: 32”
“Force: 62, Commander-in-Chief: 83, Resourcefulness: 101, Politics: 88”
Looking at the attributes of these three people, Cao Chen couldn’t help but sigh in admiration, they are not generalists, Zhou Yu and Pang Tong’s wisdom has exceeded a hundred.
After a short silence, everyone had their own thoughts in their hearts, and Cao Chen sat on the main seat and spoke first.
“Guys, I have now defeated the Yuan army, but there should be someone in the enemy camp to plan to retreat to Shouchun with a strong wall and clear wilderness, but a good strategy!”
“But it’s just a battle of trapped beasts, with the help of the two generals Bo Fu and Xuande, it is just around the corner to break through Shouchun.”
Listening to Cao Chen’s words, the corners of Liu Bei’s mouth twitched slightly, but Cao Chen sent Zhao Yun to come and kill Ji Ling, which made Liu Bei hold a grudge, but he still replied with a smile.
“Cao Junshi’s proper planning, the great destruction of the 150,000 army led by Zhang Xun is really gratifying!”
“That is, General Zilong also killed the enemy general Ji Ling, and ordered Xuande to lead the troops to repel the Yuan army, and Cao Junshi was far-sighted.”
Sun Ce glanced at Liu Bei and said, the cold mending knife made Guan Yu’s face beside Liu Bei become a little gloomy, but Cao Chen didn’t care, and said loudly.
“It’s all small things, we are allies, Xuande Thorn Shi doesn’t have to thank me, tomorrow I will have to attack the city later!”
When Liu Bei heard Cao Chen’s words, he couldn’t help but secretly scold him for being shameless, and he even wanted to thank himself for stealing the credit, so he couldn’t help but give Pang Tong a look, and Pang Tong said.
“Cao Junshi, Shouchun City is well defended, and there are many soldiers who are strictly defended, if it is to attack the city, I will definitely lose a lot.”
“It is said that Cao Junshi has a deep plan, there should be some brilliant plan, otherwise if I wait to directly attack the city, wouldn’t it be to fall into the prestige of Cao Junshi!”
Pang Tong knew that Liu Bei did not want to send troops to attack the city, so he deliberately said this, Zhou Yu also looked at it with a smile when he saw this, and Cao Chen said lightly.
“It’s good that Shiyuan knows, as long as you send troops to attack Shouchun for three days, my side has its own plan to break Shouchun!”
Hearing Cao Chen’s portrait of a bamboo in his chest, Liu Bei and Sun Ce did not shirk, if it was just because they wanted to consume their troops, this excuse would be too inferior.
Pang Tong and Zhou Yu were thoughtful, a glint flashed in their eyes, but there were no words, and they talked again before leaving.
At the same time, in the city of Shouchun, the imperial palace.
After a few days of recuperation, Yuan Shu no longer had a different color on his face, summoned Yang Hong and Yan Xiang to the imperial study, and said loudly.
“Two Ai Qing, there are soldiers who have come to report, there are hundreds of thousands of enemy troops stationed in the city, has our army made arrangements!”
“This time when I wait for the life and death of Da Zhong, Shouchun City must be defended, and there must be no mistakes!”
Seeing a little sadness reappear on Yuan Shu’s face, Yan Xiang stepped forward and bowed his hands, and after a slight groan, he said.
“Your Majesty rest assured, I have sent people to strengthen the city wall, and I have prepared countless materials to defend the city, and the wood rolling stone is very sufficient.”
“If the enemy army comes, I will definitely be able to intercept them outside the city and teach them a lesson!”
“The art of war is cloudy, ten times the siege, five times the attack, but now our army still has nearly 100,000 troops, and it is impossible for the enemy army to attack it.”
Hearing what Yan Xiang said, Yuan Shu’s face eased a little, and Yang Hong saw the situation, and after thinking a little, he said.
“Your Majesty, now that the enemy army is a tripartite alliance, it must have different minds, and the offensive will definitely not be too fierce!”
“If Weichen guessed correctly, they are already thinking about the post-war distribution problem, and they will definitely have reservations!”
“After all, whoever has more soldiers and horses can occupy the initiative in the next distribution, and I can easily defend the city.”
What Yan Xiang and Yang Hong said made Yuan Shu’s face look rough, and a trace of pride flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice.
“As the two Ai Qing said, our army still has 100,000 soldiers, as long as we defend the city with our hearts, we can be invincible, very good!”
“In this case, if the order is passed on, those who successfully defend the city will certainly not be stingy with the reward, the food of the defenders of the city will be doubled, and the reward will be doubled after the war!”
“Your Majesty Shengming!”
Yang Hong and Yan Xiang hurriedly complimented that for the miserly Yuan Shu, rewarding soldiers is very rare, and Yuan Shu prefers to enjoy it himself.
But Yang Hong and Yan Xiang felt a hint of relief in their hearts, Yuan Shu’s personality has improved, maybe Shouchun really wants to hold on…
The next day, Sun Ce and Liu Bei took tens of thousands of soldiers and directly arrived at the city of Shouchun, and commanded their subordinates to begin to rush towards the city tower.
The offensive was not very fast, Zhou Yu and Pang Tong had already guessed, and they had told their own masters to feign attack.
The soldiers of the two armies carried the cloud ladder and launched the attack with round shields, while the Yuan army on the city wall heard the reward that Yuan Shu said, and his fighting spirit was also high.
In the face of the invading enemy army, the wood and rolling stones continued to smash downward, and the two army generals who were originally feigning attack could not climb the city wall at all.
The offensives of the generals of the two armies were repulsed one after another, and the Yuan army on the city wall couldn’t help but shout, and the low morale caused by the previous defeat was somewhat eased.
Coupled with the imprint brought by the garrison of Shouchun City, he was released from constantly repelling the enemy army, and his face was full of war intent again.
And Liu Bei and Sun secretly said that it was not good, but they could not reduce the siege they had promised before, so they could only force themselves to constantly send soldiers to attack the city.
After three consecutive days of siege, Yuan’s generals became more skilled in defending the city, bringing a lot of trouble to Liu Bei and Sun Ce’s armies, and the casualties were not small.
Although it was only a feint attack, more than 10,000 of Liu Bei soldiers remained under Shouchun City, and there were nearly 10,000 casualties under Sun Ce.
Liu Bei, who returned to the camp, had a gloomy face, and said to Pang Tong next to him about the hard work of these days, and Pang Tong’s face became solemn and said.
“Don’t worry, Lord Gong, three days have passed, Cao Zizhan’s side has already launched an operation, and Yuan Highway should be on the road!”
Coincidentally, in the camp on the other side, Zhou Yu said the same thing to Sun Ce, and a trace of brilliant meaning appeared in his eyes.
