Pang Tong went to stand at the door of the heavily guarded Liu Biao's mansion, and the guard hurriedly stepped forward to ask: "Who is standing at the gate of the state pastor in the middle of the night." ”

Pang Tong said calmly: "It's a secret envoy, report it quickly." ”

"Let's go!"

The guards panicked and left. Pang Tong waited for a wave, and the guards came out to pick him in, but the inside was still heavily patrolled. When he went to a large mansion, he saw the soldiers lined up on both sides after entering, Liu Biao shook his clothes, obviously he was about to go to bed just now, and now he came out specially with his clothes on. He saw the appearance of Pang Tongyi's deputy military attaché and said, "Where is this brother from?" ”

Pang Tong arched his hand and said: "I am Liao Lu, the envoy of Lord Liu Bei of Yizhou, suing the two families about the peace talks. ”

Liu praised and raised his eyebrows and said: "After Yizhou changed people, he was a lot smarter. But the two families always have some old hatred and new hatred, how can they make peace as soon as they talk about it. He seemed to be expecting something, revealing a greedy gaze.

Pang Tongdao: My Liuzhou herdsman is kind-hearted, and he has always been concerned about the fact that he was an official here at the beginning, and he has been taken care of by the adults, and he will never forget it. Liu Biao smiled and stroked his black beard. Pang Tong continued: "After all, Liu Zhoumu and the adult are the same clan as you, and unlike that Liu Zhang, who has no distinction between the elder and the younger, he didn't even take you in his eyes. When Liu Zhang was in power, Lord Liu Biao always made it clear to him that he wanted to ally with Lord Liu. But Liu Zhang didn't listen, so he ended up today. Liu Zhoumu has been planning the two alliances since he took office, although the civil and military officials also have a lot of dissent, but Liu Zhoumu excluded dissidents, so I have the good thing of coming here today. ”

Liu Biao nodded and said, "Well, this Liu Bei is quite far-sighted. But you're alone? ”

Pang Tong said: "Now is the time of chaos, and it is inconvenient for Zhang Yang to do this." Generous gifts and the like will be given in the future. ”

He saw that Liu Biao seemed a little dissatisfied, so he said: "Our army intercepted the letter of Pang Tongjun, and Pang Tongzheng is mobilizing troops to gather in Chang'an, and it is estimated that Wuguan will be attacked soon." ”

Liu Biao's face was nervous, his body sat up straight, and he knew that he was very concerned about Pang Tong's movements by looking at this posture. Liu Biao said: "Is it true? ”

Pang Tong said coldly: "The military aircraft is important, how dare you fool Lord Liu?" If there is no such generous gift, how dare you come here to negotiate peace? ”

Liu Biao nodded, with a worried look on his face, and said, "This matter is big. Since Xuande has the intention of ally, how can I, as the elder brother of the Liu family, refuse. ”

Pang Tong arched his hand and said, "Since the adults have agreed so, can I get the documents to return to my life?" ”

Liu Biao shouted: "Come on, take the four treasures of the study." ”

He then wrote a letter to Pang Tong. Pang Tong signaled him to retreat left and right. Liu Biao only left two guards, and Pang Tong approached and said: "In mid-July, the Zhuge army will send troops to Tangping Pass to attack Wudu County. At this time, adults can support troops to the north and break through Xuanyang and Chang'an. ”

Liu Biao was overjoyed when he heard this. The next day, there was a news from Pegasus that Pang Tong's army really set off from Chang'an, with a scale of more than 200,000 people. Liu Biao originally had doubts about the envoy, but after seeing this situation, he was convinced, and immediately transferred most of the army around the border of Yizhou and moved to the north. Because of his actions and the movement of Pang Tong's army in Chang'an and Xuanyang, Zhuge Liang thought that the two armies were about to face each other, and immediately ordered the men and horses in the eastern part of Yizhou to gather on the border between Badong County and Jingzhou. Just a dozen days of mobilization have loosened the whole situation. Pang Tong had already turned around and arrived in Wuxing County, and immediately ordered Yinping to send 100,000 troops to attack Mianzhu Pass. When Zhuge Liang received the paperwork, Mianzhu Pass was about to be breached. In desperation, Zhuge Liang personally rushed to Mianzhu Pass to rectify the sergeants and strengthen defense. Burned the Dazhai of Xu Huang, the general of Pang Tong's army, due to the destruction of military rations, Xu Huang urgently retreated, and was chased by Zhuge Liang's light cavalry all the way, losing thousands of people.

Guan Yu was ordered to lead 100,000 men to attack Yidu County in Jingzhou, this result made Liu Biao very shocked, and hurriedly dispatched troops, but it was too late. Yidu County was caught off guard by his sudden advance, and Xinling County was breached. However, Liu Biao's general Huang Zhong led his troops away, boldly crossed nearly 100 miles of mountain danger from Fangling, cut off the grain route of Guan Yu's army, which had already set off to Xiling County in the southeast, and recaptured Xinling within six days. Guan Yu didn't expect the enemy soldiers to come so quickly, and the back road was cut off, so he immediately fought back.

Although Zhuge Liang went to Mianzhu Pass, the flag still stood on Tangping Pass, and the sergeants crowded the wall of the pass. Pang Tong had already withdrawn the army that had invaded Jingzhou, and after traveling west, he suddenly moved south to attack the Meridian Valley Pass. Ji Ling, the general under Yuan Shu, commanded 100,000 troops and took eight days to break through the Meridian Valley. Yizhou was shocked, and the entire Hanzhong was already on the edge of the Pang Tong Army.

Pang Tong personally went to the Meridian Valley Pass and laughed: "Even if you Zhuge Liang is the number one wise general in the world, you are just a person." One person can never control the world. ”

"Yo," Xue Yue said behind him, "Why are you so modest, I don't think you're bad." Perhaps our general is the first wise general in the world. ”

Pang Tong turned to her and smiled: "If you think so, I'm happy too." ”

Xue Yue was stunned for a moment, it seemed that Pang Tong gave her a difficult question, and after thinking for a while, she asked, "What do you mean?" Why do I think so, you are happy? ”

Pang Tong laughed silently against the wall, and said in his heart: "What can a young girl understand if she is a young girl?" Ah, no, she's sixteen now, right? Thinking of this inexplicable and seemingly obscure question, Pang Tong couldn't stop laughing.

Guan Yu was trapped in Xinling County, Jingzhou, the grain road was cut off, and Huang Zhong led the troops to challenge the village. The two armies fought several times, and Guan Yu was unstable due to the lack of food for the soldiers. In the end, Huang Zhong attacked Guan Yu Dazhai at night, and the two armies fought a decisive battle, and Guan Yu's army was defeated. Only dozens of horsemen and Guan Yu fled westward, and when they arrived at the White Emperor City, they collided with Liao Hua, who came east from outside the city to rescue. Subsequently, the two discussed staying in the White Emperor City and waiting for Zhuge Liang's order.

Pang Tong summoned the civil and military forces on the tower of the Meridian Valley Pass, and at this time Lu Bu, Ji Ling, Gao Shun, and Jia Xu were in the ranks. Pang Tong said: "The current situation is a bit panicked for Jingzhou, and for Yizhou, it has just lost two games. What do you think? ”

Jia Xu said: "The Yizhou army was driven out of Jingzhou by Liu Biao, and Zhuge Liang didn't seem to show his talent......"

Pang Tong interrupted: "How can Zhuge Liang alone compete with the world. He is in charge of internal affairs, foreign affairs, and military affairs alone, and he is powerless. If you want to fight Jingzhou's calculations on the one hand, and on the other hand, you have to prevent us from attacking from two sides, and it is strange that you are undefeated. However, he did nothing wrong in attacking Jingzhou, if our army really attacked Jingzhou, he only had this opportunity to devour Liu Biao's territory. Otherwise, no matter how much ability he Zhuge Liang has, he will suffer heavy losses when he fights Jingzhou.

Lu Budao: "Liu Biao's two defeats to our army, I think he has little strategy. ”

Pang Tong shook his hand and smiled: "Brother, don't underestimate him." Liu Biao's Huang Zhong and Gan Ning are all fierce generals, and the strategists also have talented people like Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue brothers. This person started a school and loved the people. The people are rich and have kindness to them. Under these circumstances, it was very difficult to attack Xiajingzhou. ”

Jia Xu nodded and added, "Yes." He has a strong foundation and has not made a great mistake. To attack a prince whose people are rich and have the support of the people is undoubtedly asking for trouble. ”

Ji Ling made great contributions to the battle in the Meridian Valley, and at this moment he arched his hand and said: "The talent of the great general makes us ashamed, and we dare to go to the enemy's mansion to set up a bureau alone, this kind of thing no one in the world dares to do except the general, let alone the princes." ”

"My credit, otherwise he would have been discovered a long time ago."

Xue Yue shouted behind Pang Tong again. But everyone has long been accustomed to this girl and treats her as air.

Pang Tong said: "At present, Lieutenant General Han is the key position of our attack. I want to go south and attack Anyang County as soon as possible. ”

Jia Xu said: "At this moment, the situation in Anyang has not yet been clarified, how many days will the general wait?" ”

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger." Pang Tong said loudly, Jia Xu still wanted to speak, Pang Tong frowned and said, "I have made up my mind...... We'll talk about it in a few days. He laughed, and Jia Xu sighed with a wry smile.
