Chapter 729: It's Counted

While Xu Shu was planning his own strategy, Pang Tong in Liu Yu's army was studying how to break Jingzhou with the fastest way while marching. Pang Tong is a person from Jingzhou, and in addition to Zhuge Liang in Liu Yujun, he is the one who knows the situation in Jingzhou best.

The current Pang Tong was stimulated by Sima Yi's matter, and was thinking about how to make a contribution quickly.

Sima Yi has firmly held Yanzhou, this task seems simple, but it is extremely difficult, but Sima Yi has done it. Pang Tongxiang thought that he was no worse than anyone else, how could he be driven by Sima Yi.

The marching ranks came to an abrupt halt, a necessary rest for the army as it advanced. In this way, you can move forward with the best physical strength at the fastest speed.

During this time, the soldiers had to deal with their various physiological problems such as eating, drinking, and lazing, and they could not have much time to rest.

Pang Tong casually found a quiet and cool place to sit down, devoured a large cake, and looked at the map while chewing and thinking.

But because he ate too fast, after swallowing a few times, Pang Tong was swallowed, and it was a little difficult to breathe all of a sudden.

Pang Tong knew that he urgently needed a glass of water to swallow the pie. However, Pang Tong looked around a few times and found no water.

Pang Tong was about to despair, was he going to be swallowed to death by a piece of cake? Because Pang Tong was able not to be disturbed by others, he found a relatively quiet place, away from the crowd, if Pang Tong swallowed death here, no one really knew.

Just when Pang Tong couldn't stand it anymore, a tall figure appeared, and his big hand patted Pang Tong's back, and brought life-like water to Pang Tong. Pang Tong took a big sip and finally swallowed the flatbread stuck in his throat.

"It's so comfortable." Pang Tong breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shiyuan, what are you doing?" The person who saved Pang Tong's life said.

Pang Tong looked back and found that this tall figure was actually Zhuge Liang. At this moment, Zhuge Liang was looking at him with a smile on his face.

Pang Tongyi's face was depressed, his ugly appearance just now was actually seen by Zhuge Liang, which was a shame.

"Kong Ming, why are you here?" Pang Tong hurriedly changed the subject.

Zhuge Liang smiled: "Why am I here?" If I hadn't arrived in time, the first ugly man in Nanzhou would have been swallowed to death by a piece of cake, which would have been a miracle in the world. ”

Pang Tong was embarrassed and said, "Can we stop talking about this!" ”

Zhuge Liang knew that Pang Tong's temperament was extreme, and he would say it at most once, otherwise this kid would definitely hold a grudge.

"Shi Yuan, are you too anxious now? Even when they were marching, they were thinking about stratagems. Zhuge Liang also found a place to sit down and gently shook the feather fan.

Pang Tong understood what Zhuge Liang meant, this was caring about himself. But Pang Tong had to be urgent and said, "Kong Ming, this time going south, the burden on the shoulders of the two of us is not light. Sima Zhongda has made a contribution, depending on His Majesty's meaning, he wants to see if we can make some achievements. Time is pressing, if His Majesty's army is close to Xiangyang, it is estimated that those guys in Xiangyang will definitely surrender, so this time we will draw water with a bamboo basket. ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said lightly: "Actually, it is not so easy for Your Majesty to easily take Jingzhou. ”

"Kong Ming, what do you mean by this? Is there an army of you and me that can't even take a single Jingzhou? Pang Tong was a little unhappy with Zhuge Liang's unfathomable bird-likeness.

Zhuge Liang pointed to the south and said: "Shiyuan, in front of us is Nanyang, and there is Liu Bei on Nanyang's side. You must know that Yuan Zhi is Liu Bei's military advisor. You know Yuan Zhi's ability, now Lu Fengxian and Guan Yunchang are leading the vanguard army to battle, with Yuan Zhi's character, I'm afraid they are already calculating now. ”

Pang Tong's brows furrowed, Xu Shu's ability was recognized by him, his ability was not under him, if he had an unknown scheme, Lu Bu and Guan Yu were very likely to be calculated.

Just thinking about it, Pang Tong knew that even if Liu Bei had the power of a county now, he was not the opponent of Liu Yu's side, unless Xu Shu had a strategy that could win more with less.

As soon as he thought of winning more with less, Pang Tong stood up and said to Zhuge Liang: "You said that Yuan Zhi may attack with fire?" ”

"That's right!" Zhuge Liang pretended to be forced and said: "Yuan Zhi wants to break our army, and only by borrowing the power of heaven and earth, water and fire, you and I have been in Jingzhou for many years, the rain in Jingzhou at this time is not so abundant, looking at its celestial phenomena, the scorching summer will last for a period of time, then Yuan Zhi is most likely to attack with fire!" ”

Pang Tong nodded, Zhuge Liang has always been cautious, it seems that this analysis will not be wrong.

"Kong Ming, have you already arrived!?" Pang Tong said.

Zhuge Liang smiled: "You think I'm an immortal." Actually, it's a very simple thing. With Yuan Zhi's style of acting, coupled with the actual comparison of troops, these are obvious things. ”

Pang Tong wants to scold, you yourself have calculated why you didn't say it earlier, and you are still wasting time here.

"You kid is half of the head snake in Nanyang County, you must know almost where Yuan Zhi is using his tricks, right?" Pang Tong said calmly.

Zhuge Liang nodded and acquiesced.

Pang Tong pulled Zhuge Liang up at once, and then rushed in the direction where Liu Yu was.

"Shi Yuan, what are you doing here?" Zhuge Liang, who was pulled by Pang Tong, was very puzzled.

Pang Tong said angrily: "What else can you do? Of course, I told Your Majesty that this is a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions. ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and smiled bitterly, he was just guessing, how could he be so sure. And Zhuge Liang can't find a reason for Liu Yu to believe it now. Once Liu Yu doesn't believe it, it is useless for Zhuge Liang to say more. But Pang Tong didn't care, he just dragged Zhuge Liang to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu was originally resting, but he didn't rest long before he saw Pang Tong pulling Zhuge Liang to rush over. Presumably, Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang must have something important to report, so they let them in.

Pang Tong hurriedly said in front of Liu Yu: "Your Majesty, Kong Ming and his ministers have calculated that Liu Bei may use fire attack when our vanguard army comes into contact with him. ”

"Fire attack?! Are you sure? Liu Yu stood up directly, if Liu Bei attacked with fire, this Lu Bu and Guan Yu would be a little dangerous.

"Your Majesty, this is just the speculation of the ministers." Zhuge Liang hesitated for a while but still told the truth.

After Liu Yu pondered for a while, he said, "Let's talk about it carefully! ”

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong said their analysis just now.

Zhuge Liang even regarded himself as Xu Shu, and said: "If the minister is Yuanzhi, then he will choose an inconspicuous and densely planted place to carry out a fire attack, first let his troops lure the enemy generals to come, attack with fire by surprise, and finally ambush the soldiers, and it will definitely break the enemy army." ”

Liu Yu remembered that Zhuge Liang did this when Cao Cao went south in later generations, could it be that Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang were also in a routine?

"Where do you think it will be the place where Xu Shu will carry out the fire attack." Liu Yu knew that Zhuge Liang had been rolling in Nanyang for many years, and he must be very clear about the topography of Nanyang County.

Pang Tong also looked at Zhuge Liang expectantly, but Zhuge Liang didn't explain where it was just now.

"With the march route of the two generals Lu and Guan, the most likely place for Yuan Zhi to carry out a fire attack is Bowangpo!" Zhuge Liang said firmly.

As soon as Liu Yu heard "Bowangpo", he understood that Zhuge Liang in his previous life burned more than half of Cao Cao's vanguard army in Bowangpo. Xu Shu, as a top strategist, must also have a similar strategy as Zhuge Liang.

"Send a knight and order Lu Bu and Guan Yu to stay where they are. Without my order, you can't move forward, and those who violate it will be killed! Liu Yu immediately gave the order.

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were stunned, they didn't expect Liu Yu to believe in the two of them so much.

Liu Yu said to Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong: "Thanks to the two of you, otherwise, tens of thousands of my soldiers may be wiped out." ”

"That's what a minister should do." Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong said respectfully.

The two of them are warm in their hearts now, and it is really rare for Liu Yu to believe in them so much.

Liu Yu looked at the map in a daze, thinking that he still had to be careful when dealing with this Xu Shu, after all, there was a Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong who could not guarantee that they would be foolproof.
