Chapter 287: Pang Tong's Letter of Introduction

A month later.

As the end of the year approaches, the weather is getting colder and colder, and there will be a few heavy snowfalls from time to time.

In a year of heavy snowfall, next year in Jingzhou, I am afraid that there will be a bumper harvest. But for Cao Jun, it is not good news.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the diseases in the army will not be cured. The soldiers were sick in one batch, and in another, and in another, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on,

In the Jingzhou area, about 200,000 Cao's horses and infantry troops were encamped, and 40,000 Jingzhou soldiers surrendered to 40,000 or 50,000 troops. A total of 2440,000 soldiers and horses, so many soldiers and horses, grain, forage, how to supply.

It was Li Dian, and Xiahoudun would escort grain to Jingzhou every once in a while.

Last month, Li Dian harassed Zhao Yun, lost a lot of food, heavy baggage, and exhausted soldiers. Later, with the protection of 5,000 cavalry sent by Cao Cao, this was better.

This time Li Dian came again, it was still 10,000 infantry troops, 5,000 cavalry, 5,000 people, and the cart was even more, because 5,000 cavalry were added.

There are more than 1,000 grain carts and baggage trucks, which are fine in the wide places of the road, but in the narrow places of the roads, it can only be a long snake.

The carts and horses were lined up in a serpentine shape, but the cavalry was assembled in large numbers, ready to move at any time.

This cavalry general's name is Liu Guang, and he is an old acquaintance of Li Dian.

The two rode together, walking side by side.

"The prime minister went to Xinye in September, and he has been fighting until December. Although it occupied Xiangyang and Nanjun, the situation became more and more erosive. If nothing else, this grain road is a headache. If you want to eradicate Zhao Yun's 2,000 cavalry, you need to send 30,000 cavalry to chase and intercept it, and it may not be successful. The Central Plains is vast, and Zhao Yun's cavalry is really difficult to contain. ”

Liu Guang sighed.

"It's also that Zhao Yun is good enough, if he is an idle person, he can block it." Li Dian said.

Zhao Yun hit and left, and if he didn't have a chance, he didn't fight, he was very elite and very capable. Li Dian and Zhao Yun have been confronted for so long, but they know that Zhao Yun is a difficult person.

There is a cavalry and there is no cavalry at all.

Why did the Han Dynasty submit to the Xiongnu in the past? It's that the Huns have cavalry. Later, even if Emperor Wu established a cavalry corps, he never eliminated the Xiongnu.

It's because of the vast grassland, you can't find the main cavalry of the Huns.

Although Zhao Yun's cavalry is small now, as long as he is cautious enough, he will run if he hits, and he can't catch up. The most important thing is that Xinye can't attack it.

Zhao Yun was tired of running, so he went back to Xinye to repair one or two, and he was still alive and well.

In fact, there is nothing important about the grain road, that is, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to maintain the grain road.

When Liu Guang and Li Dian were talking, wolf smoke ignited in the east. Liu Guang clenched his fists at Li Dian, then rode down and led the cavalry to the east.

Li Dian also ordered the infantry to stop, trim slightly, and defend.

But soon after, Liu Guang returned with his men.

Li Dian saw that there was no trace of a big battle in Liu Guang's cavalry, and he knew the result. "Ran away?" Li Dian asked Liu Guangdao.

"Run, it's really clever. If he fights against me, I will destroy him. Liu Guang said angrily. Cao's cavalry was elite, with more than 5,000 people.

And Zhao Yun's troops were less than half of Liu Guang's.

Although it was Zhao Yun who led the troops, Zhao Yun had the courage to be unsuitable. But in a cavalry battle of this scale, Liu Guang still has a chance of winning, and the odds of winning are extremely high.

But Zhao Yun didn't give Liu Guang any chance, and the advantages of the light cavalry were brought into full play. Do only harassment, and nothing else.

There is only one purpose, Prime Minister Cao, you hurry up.

In this battle, the Guan family and the Sun family fought extremely obscenely.

............

However, it was said that Prime Minister Cao Cheng ordered troops in Yecheng, and the momentum was violent, and the army of 200,000 went south. But Cao Cao didn't fight Xinye, and An Lu couldn't conquer it.

So they attacked Jingzhou, and then the two sides began to stalemate.

Although Cao's army is invincible in the world, the Guan clan and the Sun clan do not fight Cao Cao head-on, but only attack and harass, the naval army attacks the people, and the cavalry attacks the grain road, and the fight is really ugly, and there is no decent battle.

The situation in Jingzhou can't be worse anymore.

Xinye has enough grain in stock, and it is no problem to fight for three years.

But Prime Minister Cao Cheng went south, changing the fate of many people. Let's not say that Liu Cong perished and became the king of the country.

First of all, before the outbreak of the war, there were more than 100,000 people in Xiangyang and Nanjun who either crossed the mountains and crossed the mountains, or went to Fangling by boat, Cao Cao killed Xiangyang, and tens of thousands of people arrived in Fangling, and then Ma Liang invaded Zigui, and tens of thousands of people migrated.

At present, the number of people who have arrived in Fangling is no longer clear. After so many years of development, there is very little abandoned land in Fangling.

The land is not enough to settle the people, and seeing the battle of Jingzhou, it seems that it will take a long time. Therefore, many people went up the river to Hanzhong.

Buying land, setting up a property, and so on.

Pang Tong and Zhuge are among them. The two arrived in Hanzhong successively, but the two took different paths, and after Zhuge arrived in Hanzhong, he went straight to Nanzheng to find his nationality.

The Yi nationality temporarily resettled Zhuge Jun. Then he enlightened Guan Ping, and Guan Ping learned that Zhuge Liang's younger brother was coming, so he made proper arrangements.

gave a vacant mansion in the city to Zhuge Jun, and then gave Zhuge Jun 200 acres of fertile land outside the city to house the slaves and maids of the Zhuge family.

Guan Pingben also had to give Zhuge Jun a job, that is, to be a small official in the county or in the house. Because Guan Ping knew that Zhuge Jun was not very talented, and in history, the official worshiped Captain Changshui, which may be a false position.

But Zhuge politely refused, saying that he was young and still needed to study and study. Guan Ping was also taken care of by Zhuge Jun, but he just explained his nationality and took care of Zhuge Jun.

In fact, not only Zhuge Jun, but also all scholars from Jingzhou can come to Guanping. Guan Ping has been resettled. Appoint some barren land and give it to these scholars.

As for the mansion, Nan Zheng doesn't have so many vacant mansions, so I'm sorry, you can buy it yourself.

The battle of Jingzhou increased the population of Hanzhong.

Amazing!

However, it was said that Pang Tong and Zhuge were both Jingzhou factions, but Yi was a scholar who was exiled from the north and had a relationship with Zhuge Liang and others, so Zhuge Jun came to Hanzhong and looked for Yi first.

Pang Tong was familiar with Xu Shu, so after coming to Hanzhong, he first settled his family in Nanzheng, and then went to Yangpingguan to see Xu Shu non-stop.

If it's just a placement, of course, you don't have to trouble Xu Shu. But Pang Tong hopes that there is a way to go directly to Guan Ping and get Guan Ping's reuse, so he needs a few kind words from someone like Xu Shu.

Anyway, people from Jingzhou, as long as they want to be officials here in Guanping, they can go through the door. If the Guan family is a gang, it is the Jingzhou Gang.

Of course, the recommendation is the business of the officials below, and it is Guan Ping's business to decide whether to employ people or not.

Of course, Guan Ping is generally more face-saving, and ordinary people want to be a knife and pen official, yes.

If you want to be reused, you need people who Guan Ping knows, such as Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and others.

Pang Tong didn't know that he had already been on the white list that Guan Ping wanted to reuse, and it was effective to find Guan Ping.

I don't know, so I'll find Xu Shu first.

Yangping Pass line.

Yangping Pass, Dingjun Mountain, Tiandang Mountain. Since the last time Bashu Wu Yi led his troops to the north and fought with Guan Ping, he has recuperated and recuperated.

The lost non-commissioned officers of the various units were replenished, and the training was very hard, and the morale was relatively high.

Because of the people in Guan Ping's department, the treatment is better. Although the training is hard, it is difficult to eat and drink, and it is difficult to have low morale.

At present, Yinping in the north, the two counties of Wudu are attached to Guanping, there is no enemy in the north, and the Bashu Yan is silent. But Xu Shu was not a simple defender, so he pondered that he wanted to go south to attack Bashu.

If you go south to Bashu in the future, there will be only two roads, one is Jinniu Road and the other is Micang Road. Baishui Pass on the Taurus Road, Jiameng Pass are all male passes that cannot be opened by one man, how can they be attacked?

Xu Shu thought about it, but he couldn't do anything.

It's like Cao Cao fighting Xinye, Xinye's defense is thick and bloody, how to fight? And Baishui Pass, Jiameng Pass is steep, how to fight?

The same thing.

Therefore, Xu Shu figured it out, if he attacked Bashu in the future, it would inevitably be a bluff on the Golden Bull Road to attract some of Bashu's troops.

If you want to fight, you still have to go south from the rice cang road and attack Bazhong. Attack Bazhong first, and then sweep Shuzhong. If Guan Ping invades Shuzhong in the coming day, cut off the connection between Jiameng Pass and Baishui Pass and Chengdu, Xiongguan will not be self-defeating.

Xu Shu handed over the matter of training the soldiers to the battalion Sima under his command to deal with, and he commanded remotely behind him, and spent most of his time pondering this.

Today, Xu Shu is still idle, hiding in the Guan Ling Mansion to write. Don't look at Xu Shu used to be a ranger, and he gave up martial arts halfway, but he is not only superb in learning, but his handwriting is also very beautiful.

Halfway through the book, a soldier walked in from outside and reported: "General." There are people outside the customs who claim to be your old acquaintance of Jingzhou, Pang Tong, a native of Xiangyang, and Pang Shiyuan, who ask to see him. ”

Xu Shu was a little surprised, then put down his pen and smiled: "Not only Wolong is here, but this phoenix is also here." ”

Although there are five friends in Longzhong, Zhuge Liang, Meng Jian, Shi Tao, Cui Jun, and Xu Shu, they also have an intersection range, and the relationship between Xu Shu and Pang Tong is not bad.

Wolong, phoenix chicks also.

After Xu Shu put down the pen, he dressed up a little, and then calmly walked out of the gate to greet Pang Tong.

"Pang Shiyuan."

"Xu Yuanzhi."

Pang Tong followed behind with some entourage, and when he saw Xu Shu coming out, he bowed his hand, and the two of them saluted separately. After some greetings, Xu Shu took Pang Tong to the study of Guan Lingfu and sat down.

"Shi Yuan finally can't help but come out?" After Xu Shu sat down, he asked.

"Exactly. Prime Minister Cao Cheng broke through Fancheng and went south to Xiangyang. I fled to Hanzhong in a hurry, and after thinking about it, it was time to come out and do things. Pang Tong said with a smile.

Xu Shu still didn't know about this, and frowned when he heard this: "Cao Cao has invaded Xiangyang?" ”

Xu Shu has not yet learned about this.

"It's not just about Xiangyang. Before attacking Xiangyang, he also fought a battle with Kong Ming in Anlu. If it weren't for a winter rain, An Lu would be gone, and Kong Ming might have to climb the mountain to escape. Pang Tong smiled.

"Does Guan Yang Wu know about this?" Xu Shu asked again.

"Got it." Pang Tong said categorically, and then comforted Xu Shu and said: "Don't worry, I think Prime Minister Cao Cheng wants to sit firmly in Jingzhou, but it is extremely difficult." Zhou Yu and Zhuge Kongming are not ordinary people. Han Shouhou stood in Xinye again, as if in his throat. ”
