The night was silent, and there seemed to be no sound in the entire Fancheng, and endless darkness was shrouded.

"Ji Gong, take care!"

In the lobby, Wen Ping turned around and left, he finally made a decision, not only for himself, but also for Jingzhou, Fancheng could no longer be defended, he had to return to Xiangyang in advance, gather troops, and arrange the Xiangyang defense line.

"Ji Gong, if you don't go, I won't go!"

Zhang Hu's body was like an iron tower, standing on the side, and his angular face showed a touch of determination.

"Yanzhi, the old man is already a mortal person, cultivating in Jingzhou, I don't know if I can survive this cold winter, so running around and working hard, in fact, I have already run out of oil and lamps, even if there is no battle of Fancheng, I won't be able to live for a few days!"

Pang Ji raised his head, glanced at Zhang Hu, and said softly, "Are you planning to bury me with you?" ”

Although Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng are scholars, they can be regarded as scholars, but they are from a poor family, they only have enlightenment teachers, and they don't even have a serious 800 teacher, and their characters were all taken by Pang Ji back then.

One is called Yanzhi and the other is called Hongzhi.

"Maybe Fancheng can hold it!"

When Zhang Hu heard this, his heart suddenly changed, he also knew Pang Ji's physical condition, but he was unwilling: "As long as you hold Fancheng, I will immediately escort Ji Gong back to Xiangyang to raise troops!" ”

"Yanzhi, do you believe in your own words?" Pang Ji smiled indifferently and asked him rhetorically.

Zhang Hu was silent for a moment.

He didn't dare to believe this, how could he convince others that Fancheng was lost, it was already a fact, it was only sooner or later.

"Let's go, let's go with Wenpin!"

Pang Ji said faintly: "No matter what, it is a fact that you saved Wen Ping, and in Jingzhou in the future, you can only rely on him!" ”

"Ji Gong, do you hate Chen Sheng?"

Zhang Hu asked suddenly.

It's not Chen Sheng, this battle will not be lost so badly, even if there are losses, but at least there is a chance to keep Fancheng, but because of one Chen Sheng, all their strategic deployments have gone wrong, and they will return defeated, losing their troops and losing their generals.

After counting the battlefield, he even counted the defeated generals, how to clean up the mess, he was also sure, but after all, he didn't expect a Chen Sheng, Chen Sheng turned against the water, let go of Qingshuikou, and let Zhang Liao's water army drive straight in, this is a defeat, the second defeat, not only lost the Jingzhou army, but also took away 2,000 soldiers from the Jiangxia camp, three defeats, defeated the army's heart, Chen Sheng is a senior general, one of the main generals, and now he has joined the enemy, his influence is too great, and the army's heart is naturally unstable.

"Hate?"

When Pang Ji heard this, he shook his head: "He just made his own choice, in the troubled times, the heroes rose together, the Ming Lord sought the virtuous ministers, and the talents chose the British Lord, he did nothing wrong, and Jingzhou was sorry for him, he did this, and it was a matter of course, but I didn't expect that he could hide his emotions so well in front of the old man, so that the old man was blind, but it made the old man a little impressed!" ”

He valued Zhang Hu more than Chen Sheng.

But I didn't expect Chen Sheng to hide so deeply.

He paused, and said: "And in terms of friendship, Chen Hongzhi is still not ruthless enough, above Qingshuikou, he let you all go, but the bad is the strategic intention of the entire pastoral army, otherwise in this battle alone, our Jingzhou soldiers and horses will be wiped out, and the credit he made to Chengcheng, perhaps because of this release, the merit cannot be guaranteed, and his life cannot be saved!" ”

"Is it that serious?"

Zhang Hu was stunned.

"If you were the chief general of the herding army, what would you think?" Pang Ji said softly.

"If it's me......"

Zhang Hu thought about it for a while, and thought about it from another perspective, if he was the commander of the herding army, and saw that the duck was cooked but suddenly flew away, he was the initiator, he was afraid that he would be angry and kill him directly.

"It's his own choice!" Zhang Hu hardened his heart: "He deserves to die, but if he lives, I will take his life on the battlefield in the future!" ”

"Death, it is estimated that you can't die, the pastoral army will not extinguish the will to fight because of the battle of Fancheng, their purpose is to take Xiangyang, they will inevitably set an example, the surrenderer, the high-ranking official Houlu, but whether it will be reused in the future, it is difficult to say, your brothers may really have a confrontation on the battlefield one day!"

Pang Ji's eyes were deep, his voice was soft, and he said: "That's also a matter of the future, now your only chance to survive is that you and Wen Ping go together, once Fancheng is lost, Xiangyang will be in trouble, one more troops, one more strength, I'm not for you, more for Jingzhou!" ”

"Ji Gong?"

Zhang Hu still can't go: "I don't want to go!" ”

"Let's go!" Pang Ji snorted coldly, his breath was weak, and his spirit was in this drink.

"Ji Gong take care!"

Zhang Hu knew that Pang Ji was resolute, and suddenly burst into tears, and turned to leave.

…………

……

It's dawn.

The drums outside the city sounded, loud and loud, like a heavy wave, wanting to cover Fancheng at once.

"Attack!"

Zhou Cang was beaten by twenty army sticks last night, but it seemed that nothing had happened, he took the lead, took the lead in the charge, paved the way with warships on the moat, and rushed to the city gate at once, directly attacking the southern city.

"Attack!"

"Attack!"

The Bruns charged forward one after another.

Although there were obstacles in the city, the attack was very smooth, and even other siege equipment was not needed, just a ladder had already crossed this wall and quickly entered the city.

But after entering the city, he encountered some trouble.

"All soldiers?"

Zhou Cang looked at the simple fortifications piled up in the streets and alleys, and then looked at the ordinary people holding hoes and sickles, and his face suddenly became ugly.

"General Zhonglang, what should I do?"

Pei Yuanshao asked: "Kill the past?" ”

"You're going to kill?" Zhou Cang gave him an idiot look.

"I can't do it!"

Pei Yuanshao said truthfully.

"What's going on?"

Huang Zhong led the main force behind, and then entered the city, when he saw that Zhou Cang's soldiers and horses had stopped, he stepped forward alone, and immediately asked.

Zhou Cang smiled bitterly and said to the front: "General, they are all ordinary people!" ”

"Jingzhou Military Residence has such appeal?"

When Huang Zhong saw it, his face became gloomy.

"It's not the Jingzhou Army!"

Xi Zhicai also came up and shook his head: "It's Pang Ji, he is the Great Confucian of Jingzhou, with his identity, what he said is undoubtedly holy will for ordinary people, and we are indeed the attacking party, the aggressor, it is not surprising that they have such a reaction!" ”

"Does he think that this will stop us?"

Huang Zhong clenched his fists.

"It's not blocking, it's entanglement!"

Xi Zhicai said: "Just now the scouts found out that the Jingzhou army has broken through and has gone out of the suburbs and is heading in the direction of Xiangyang, Zhang Liao is outside the city, but he can command the warships down the river, but without the cooperation of soldiers and horses on land, they can't stop them!" ”

"Ponji!"

Huang Zhong is a native of Nanyang, how can he not hear the name of the Pang family's great book, how much he once admired it, and how angry he is now, because a Pang Ji can make their pastoral army lose a lot of troops.

Now it's blocked here, and it's not going to go in, and it's not going to go in.

"General Hansheng, we have taken Fancheng, Pang Ji did this, just hoping to buy time for Wenpin to get out of Fancheng, let them go!" Xi Zhicai said: "Go to the city wall, besiege but not attack, in a few days, they will naturally retreat!" ”

"Good!"

Huang Zhong reluctantly responded to it, it was okay to kill the past, but did they want to slaughter the city, they still couldn't do this, and now the victory is certain, the only regret is that they didn't leave Wenpin.

"Where is it?"

Suddenly, smoke billowed from one place in the city.

"It's the county government!"

Someone called out.

"What a Ponji!" Xi Zhicai stood on the city wall, looked ahead, suddenly figured things out, and said softly: "If he dies, he will put us together, his death, the people of Fancheng will be surging, we want to suppress Fancheng, we need more energy, and once we have no strength to suppress it in the future, we will be counterattacked!" ”

"You said Pang Ji set himself on fire!"

Huang Zhongleng for a moment, all the anger disappeared, and he was a little sad, this Confucian of Jingzhou, he still admired it in the end.

"Since he chose to cover, he can't get out of this Fancheng, he can't get out, and he doesn't want to be our prisoner, then he only has one way left, die!" Xi Zhicai analyzed: "Self-immolation, instead, saved his reputation as a Confucian, and also his face!" ”

"For Jingzhou, he fought for his life?"

Huang Zhong was a little incomprehensible.

"He was going to die soon!" Chen Sheng stood next to the two of them, silent for a long, long time, before he said faintly: "Sick and painful, maybe death, for him, is relief!" ”

As he spoke, he bowed his head: "General Huang, Xi Sima, Chen Sheng asks in vain, I hope to collect his body!" ”

"Go ahead!"

Huang Zhong waved his hand.
