Chapter 70: Father and Son, Farewell
On September 21, with the pacification of the Jingzhou army, the surrounding people did not continue to harvest rice in Xutian.
On the outskirts, Cao Jun camp.
"General Qiyu, there are no people cutting rice in Xutian today."
The scout said slowly, and Pang Hui suddenly said: "General Xiahou, it seems that this group of evil ants has been killed by our army to the point of cold, and now they dare not come, haha!" ”
With a loud laugh, Pang Hui was in a very smooth mood, and he led the raids on the people in the fields in the past two days.
He was born in a wealthy family since he was a child, and for him, killing the people at the bottom is no different from stepping on an ant.
"Shut up!"
Seeing this, Xiahou Shang's face was slightly gloomy, and he drank coldly.
"This time, Cheng Hou's strategy, although most of the rice has been saved, but the consequences are also extremely obvious, the end of this battle, the rule of my Great Wei in the Central Plains, will definitely be greatly damaged!"
Xiahou Shang is Xiahou Shang, and what he thinks about is far beyond what Pang Hui can think of.
"Report, General Xiahou, Guan Ping outside the village led the crowd to form a formation, and is now challenging our army."
It's just that when Xiahou Shang and the others were still gathering to discuss, Guan Ping had already sent troops to kill.
Hearing this, Pang Hui was immediately overjoyed, so he surrendered his hand to the battle: "General Xiahou, since the Jingzhou army takes the initiative to challenge, then our army will go out and kill all the enemy troops." ”
"Let them be frightened, and dare not attack our army wantonly."
When the words fell, this remark was unanimously agreed by the surrounding generals and echoed one after another.
"Well, field battles must be fought in the field, and with this simple camp, it will definitely not be able to stop the enemy's troops, and sitting on the ground will limit the mobility of our army."
"It's just that so far, the gap between the strength of our army and the Jingzhou army is too big, and even if it is a field battle, it can't blindly face each other head-on."
After thinking for a while, Xiahou Shang said slowly: "In this way, Pang Hui, you will go to war in a while, you are the vanguard, and the leader will provoke the Jingzhou army first and lead it away from Xu Tian." ”
"Then, still leading the army, gradually confronting Guan Ping, and trying to transfer all the Jingzhou troops out of Xu Tian."
Hearing this, all the generals couldn't help but show doubts, so they gave up their hands one after another: "General Xiahou, why is this so?" ”
"Huh!"
With a laugh, Xiahou Shang explained: "The strength of our army is limited, so we try to avoid fighting it too early. ”
"Of course, the most important thing is to transfer the Jingzhou army out of Xutian, so that the harvest of rice in the field can be guaranteed."
"After all, these are all military supplies for my Great Wei in the coming year, and they can't be destroyed."
"No!"
As soon as the table explained, everyone did not have any doubts and immediately surrendered their promises.
Outside the wall.
In a moment, two thousand Cao troops came out of formation, quickly lined up the formation, the whole process was completed in one go, without dragging mud and water, and at a glance the momentum exuded, it was elite.
Immediately, Xiahou Shang held a horse whip, slapped his horse out, and shouted: "Guan Ping, I heard that you broke Xiangyang on the tenth day, and you were planning to capture Zilin in Biyang, and now, you and I are facing each other, can you dare to fight?" ”
Hearing this, Guan Ping in the formation was also not false at all, he lifted the big knife upside down, and walked out of the front of the standing formation, and the surroundings were suddenly magnificent.
"Xiahou Shang, why don't you dare, let the horse come over, Ben will take it."
A thick sound came out, Xiahou Shang was suddenly overjoyed, and then waved his hand to signal the soldiers in the formation.
At this time, Zhao Zhong, the governor of thousands of people, also understood, and was about to lead the crowd to pursue, but Pang De, who was on the side, actually drank: "Governor Zhao, stay!" ”
"Major General, the one who left ahead will be the son of the last general, and Qing Xude will lead the crowd to catch up first."
"The last general will definitely settle this matter!"
Seeing the look of anticipation and longing in Pang De's eyes, Guan Ping couldn't help but soften for a while, so he nodded.
Seeing this, Pang De suddenly showed great joy, slapped his horse and danced with his sword, and shouted: "Soldiers, kill with me and pursue Cao Jun." ”
As soon as the words fell, the two armies galloped towards the east of Xu Tian and gradually moved away.
At this time, Xiahou Shang's face was calm, and he smiled lightly: "Guan Ping, please, the two armies in front will fight." ”
"Please!"
With a few words, the two armies were the rear wings, facing each other, and at this moment, both of them were calculating each other, playing their own small calculations.
Xu Tiandong, about thirty miles has passed, and Pang De led the crowd to approach the Cao soldiers more and more.
At this time, Pang saw the situation and waved his sword and shouted: "The whole army is turned around, formed a formation, and is ready to attack." ”
When the order was laid, more than 1,000 soldiers did not hesitate, they stopped running wildly, and quickly formed a formation to stop.
A moment later, heavy steps came!
On the plain here, the two armies are facing each other at this moment, and the momentum revealed between the formations of the two armies can't help but fill the air, like bursts of piercing sparks.
"Father, please come out of the battle!"
Immediately, Pang Hui took the lead and shouted.
Hearing this, Pound did not hesitate at all, and also slapped his horse out, walked to the middle, and watched his son closely.
At this moment, the father and son stared at each other, but they were silent for a long time!
Don't look at Pang Hui's words when he asked for war, his words were extremely intense, but when he really faced Pang De, his face was changeable.
In fact, Pang Hui also has a very close relationship with his father, at least in his eyes, his father is a loyal and invincible general, and he is also the person he admires the most in his life.
This can be seen from the later destruction of Shu Han, Pang Hui avenged his father and killed Guan Yu's entire family.
If he doesn't respect Pang De, after decades, it stands to reason that the hatred will gradually fade, and the so-called "disaster will not affect the family", he should not be angry with Guan Yu's juniors.
From this point of view, Pang Hui is indeed close to his father, and only then will Pang De's death cause him to go crazy.
After a long time, Pang Hui's face was cold and sneered: "Father! ”
"Now that I call you like this, do you still have the face to agree?"
Hearing this, with his son's expression, Pound's face was complicated, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he said: "For a while, this matter is unspeakable for my father!" ”
"Returning to the Jingzhou Army for my father is also a last resort!"
"Shut up!"
It's just that as soon as the words fell, Pang Hui's face suddenly changed, he was furious, and shouted angrily: "Unspeakable? ”
"What's so hard to say?"
"You often teach your children that loyalty is indispensable in life, but what about you now?"
"My Pang family is obedient as a general, but the King of Wei still regards you as a Fengyi general and left the Chinese army, such an honor, but you are greedy for life and afraid of death, surrender to the enemy, what is the reason?"
"You always know your loyalty, since you have been captured, why don't you kill yourself, die and be loyal to King Wei?"
Suddenly, Pang Hui spoke mercilessly, gritting his teeth and roaring angrily.
Seeing this, Pound's eyes were slightly condensed, but his eyes were lowered, and he didn't dare to look at his son.
Indeed, he often taught his sons to conceal their loyalty and not to be half-hearted.
At the beginning, he did have the idea of killing himself, but when Guan Ping let him return, the generals of Cao Ying didn't even give him a chance to meet Cao Ren, and they wanted to kill themselves when they met.
It was precisely this that made Pound extremely resentful, so he dispelled the idea of committing suicide.
Because, he felt that even if he was determined to die, the generals of Cao Ying would still not change their opinion of him, and would regard him as a rebel.
Suicide, it's not worth it!
However, having said that, but now facing his son's questioning, Pound still feels a trace of shame.
After a long time, Pound said slowly: "Later, for my father, I know, no matter what I am saying now, you will not believe it." ”
"For my father, I only said, you were born in Wei Ying, made meritorious contributions, made a marquis, married a wife and had children, and there will be no father's care in the future, you must remember to take care of yourself and your mother."
"Try not to make enemies in the DPRK!"
As soon as these words fell, Pound, a strong man with iron bones, had a trace of tears rolling in his eyes, and then slowly flowed down his face.
"Do you really want to give up the darkness and return to Cao Ying?"
Seeing this, Pang Hui's heart sank and shouted angrily.
Hearing this, Pound was silent.
After a long time, Pang Hui said sharply: "Great, wonderful!" Father, this is the last time your son will call your father. ”
"Pound, from now on, the relationship between you and my father and son will be severed, and the battlefield will be fought to the death."
After a moment, Pang Hui raised the big knife, forcibly wiped the tears in front of him, and shouted.
