In May of the twelfth year of Yonghan, after a three-year absence, Pang Tong returned to his homeland. The majestic Meridian Valley area with the mountain wall is verdant and the air is suitable. Pang Tong, who had been tanned to a bronze color, looked at the Dazhai in the pass, where flags stood and fluttered, and soldiers patrolled around in small phalanxes.

"Ah, I've finally met everyone." Pang Tong put his hands behind his head and said leisurely. He and Xue Yue suddenly stood still, as if they had touched a wall. Sharp arrows swept in front of them. Suddenly, a large number of infantry rushed out, and the two of them were the main group.

"Who! Dare to enter the war zone! ”

A pikeman shouted, and he had laid an ambush with more than a hundred men.

"It's really serious, and it's very reassuring to see everyone working so hard." Pang Tong showed a relieved smile, as if he was satisfied with his child's growth.

The soldiers who could surround them with their guns and halberds were very serious. At this time, someone was singing, and the sound spread far away. After a while, a group of cavalry galloped in. The first fierce general is Xu Huang, holding a heavy axe and galloping into the circle, and the soldiers give way.

"Ahh Xu Huang shouted in surprise, dismounted and arched his hand: "The soldiers don't know the power of the king, please forgive the offense." ”

"Komeito!" Pang Tong laughed. "It's like a world away."

The soldiers around him figured out the situation little by little. There is only one man who is called king in this land. As if they had been struck at the vital point, the soldiers immediately withdrew their weapons and remained silent, sweating profusely and trembling in their hearts. They can't be blamed either, no one knows about Pang Tong's outing.

Moreover, whoever let him tan so much, with two swords at his waist, it is difficult not to treat him as a suspicious element. Walk up the wall of the pass. Inside, I'm going to be reading the paperwork hard. He leaned back in his chair, the sunlight pouring in through the window on one side, and the whole person fell into deep thought.

"Zilong!"

A voice came over. Zhao Yun, who was holding the book, frowned, thinking that he was hallucinating. But he sensed that someone was going upstairs. With excitement and doubt, he cast a questioning gaze. The man who poked out his bronzed skin didn't recognize it for a moment, but after his entire head was exposed, he broke Zhao Yun's guard with a laughing atmosphere.

"King!"

Zhao Yun let out a long breath. It seems that the whole person has finally escaped from the endless exhaustion.

"You're finally back, and everyone is in a hurry."

"I'm so embarrassed, it's been three years." Pang Tong scratched the back of his head with a big grin. "But I've done a lot of great things."

"Big deal?"

Zhao Yun asked. Even Pang Tong and Xu Huang behind Xueyue wanted to know what the big deal was.

But Pang Tong shook his head as if he was hypocritical, and said seriously: "Now is not the time to say it. ”

"Hello Third Lady!" Zhao Yun blurted out. After all, for the old people who have been separated for a long time, a warm feeling is irrepressible.

Xue Yue snorted coldly and said, "It's been three years, I've suffered so much with this dead man, and I have to be called a clan mother or something......"

Pang Tong coughed dryly, signaling that she couldn't say any more.

"How's it going?" He then asked.

"Cao Cao's army was defeated in Chibi, the army was greatly damaged, Sun Quan stationed troops in the Yangtze River, and it is likely that he will go north to attack Wei. Liu Qi of Jingzhou was bent on developing internal affairs, and there were no military movements. Yizhou was in chaos, and the southern barbarians rebelled against Shu and fought fiercely. It is said that a tribe suddenly rose up and swallowed up several old tribes, and Shu should be at war with this big tribe right now. Interestingly, this tribe is called the Ren tribe. Zhao Yun looked at Pang Tong's calm expression, and seemed a little puzzled. It is clear that he is speaking of important military information. Could it be that the general already knew? Zhao Yun thought so and continued: "King Lu Tian wants to go south to attack Shu, and everyone thinks it's a good time. But without the king's decision, no one dared to act rashly. I can't wait for the day when you come back. It's been three years, and everyone is worried. ”

"Am I fine?" Pang Tong laughed heartily and said: "It is wise for you not to do it, so that our country can develop well." Let's gather everyone right now! ”

As if smelling the smell of war, Zhao Yun flashed his eyes with excitement. A few days later, the crowd will gather at the Meridian Valley Wall Tower. Pang Tong sat down, and the civil and military columns were on both sides. Everyone was excited about Pang Tong's safe return.

Lu Bu cried with joy after seeing Pang Tong. At this time, he was the first person on the left, and he bowed his hand and said: "Shu is in turmoil, and now is a good time to attack Hanzhong." The brothers have been waiting for their hands to itch. ”

Xu Huang, Zhao Yun, Ji Ling, and Gao Shun all laughed with satisfaction. Lu Su, the only civil official present, came out and said: "To attack Hanzhong, we still have to start from Anyang." Anyang was led by Zhang Jaw, who was Yuan Shao's old department, and was inseparable from our army. This hatred of his can be used to design. ”

Pang Tong nodded and said, "Not bad......"

Because someone suddenly came up, Pang Tong's words were stuck in his throat, and everyone looked at him suspiciously. It was a six-year-old boy, dressed in red satin, who jumped up and giggled.

Pang Tong tilted his head, and suddenly didn't understand the situation.

"Sheng'er!" Lu Bu exclaimed happily.

Pang Tong trembled when he heard this, and slowly stood up, his body trembling. This kid looks quite like Pang Tong, and just now Pang Tong saw his illusion for a moment. Listening to Lu Bu, he knew the situation. In front of civil and military officials, he actually left tears. He ran over quickly and picked up his bewildered son.

Unexpectedly, the boy said, "Daddy?" ”

"I'm so good, I was recognized at once." Pang Tong was excited, as if he had eaten honey.

"It's finally back." A coquettish voice came with a soft step. Zhang Shuang breathed a sigh of relief after standing still, he saw a safe and sound Pang Tong.

"Sister, military affairs must not be disturbed." I only heard Hua Ying talking downstairs. Pang Tong hugged his son and suddenly walked to the staircase, and looked down to see Hua Ying, who was still in style, wearing a white cloak and holding a sword scabbard. The eyes of the two touched, Hua Ying turned her face away, crying silently.

"Okay, okay, Sheng'er come to my mother and let your father ...... No, you are to call him king father. Zhang Shuang asked the child over and held it in his hand, Pang Tong felt unbearable, but behind him were the civil and military officials who were waiting for him to make the decision to kill, and here was a family member who had only met in a few years.

"Sin deserves death!" He sighed. Xue Yue, who was standing silently behind his seat, sighed faintly.

Pang Tong took Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, and Gao Shun, and ordered 200,000 troops out of the customs and went straight to Anyang County, not invading the people along the way. But the village is apparently empty. The momentum of Pang Tongjun came to the east side of Anyang City twenty miles away from the village. Pang Tong ordered people to build siege equipment. Unexpectedly, the urgent documents arrived. It turned out that Zhuge Liang actually sent troops to attack Yidu County, thinking that the Jingzhou soldiers and horses who were in turmoil in Shu were caught off guard, and the White Emperor City and Xinling County were broken one after another. Huang Zhong, the general of Jingzhou, launched fortifications to block the enemy in Xiling County. Pang Tong, who has always regarded Jingzhou as his bag, said impatiently: "Break Jingzhou and fight the south again?" Zhuge Liang's mind is non-stop, he is really a troublesome person. ”

A few days later, after Sun Quan defeated Cao Cao, Jiaozhou Shixie took the initiative to join Sun Quan, Sun Quan was powerful for a while, and really waved his troops north to attack Runan County. Jingzhou breathed a sigh of relief for this, and finally the east was safe, otherwise it would have been defeated by Liu Bei and Sun Quan on both sides. Pang Tong also learned that during his absence, when Lujiang County was besieged by Sun Quan, there was a document for Liu Qi to ask for help, but no one dared to make a decision, for fear of missing a major event. Unexpectedly, because there was no aid to Jingzhou, it was really a big mistake and Lujiang County was lost. However, the Battle of Chibi seriously injured Cao Cao, a big tiger, but it was a great joy in Pang Tong's heart.

Just as all the siege equipment was almost complete, something bad came. After Zhuge Liang attacked Yidu County. Shi Xie, who had attached himself to Sun Quan, waved his army north and captured Guiyang County in Jingzhou, and is now driving more than 200,000 troops to occupy Lingling County. Sun Quan started his offensive against Jingzhou and Cao Cao non-stop.

"Jiangdong people are in full swing at the moment." Lu Bu came to Pang Tong's tent and said worriedly.

"Brother is also afraid of others?" Pang Tong said indifferently.

"No, I'm afraid that this Wu country will become our biggest enemy in the future, and we don't know what to do wrong. Therefore, I want to remind myself that I must have a deeper understanding of Wu Guo. "Lu Bu has already grown into a fierce general who is full of concerns. It's not the bloody boy back then.

"That's necessary, but don't the people of Wu despise Cao Mengde too much."

"Cao Cao lost 400,000 troops, and almost all the naval warships. Obviously, it is a declining trend at the moment, why did the virtuous brother say this? ”

"It's normal for him to lose the battle in the navy, after all, the Jiangdong people are experts in this area. If Sun Quan dared to go deep into Cao Wei's hinterland, he would really sweat for him. ”

The next day, Pang Tong's army marched westward, and within five miles, the spies reported that the grain team that had left the customs in the rear was robbed. Pang Tong was taken aback, ordered the army to stop, and personally led 10,000 horsemen to leave the battle, and went east to the camp, only to see that the enemy soldiers really came over and wanted to attack the village.

A flag with the word "Guan" fluttered. Pang Tong's heart was shocked, and he sighed lightly: "Zhuge Kongming is back fast enough." The speed of the soldiers is nothing more than that. "I looked at the location of Nanzheng County in the southwest. He concluded that Zhuge Liang had arrived in Nanzheng County, and ordered Guan Yu to send troops to make it difficult for Pang Tong to advance and retreat.

After learning that the grain team was attacked, Pang Tong, who was not at ease with Dazhai, faced the 20,000 elite horsemen led by Guan Yu. Under such circumstances, Guan Yu led his troops to retreat and marched south.

Pang Tong, who watched the enemy soldiers fleeing, thought to himself: "If you fight with me, I will definitely let you have no good fruit to eat." Obviously, Zhuge Liang has made all the arrangements, and Guan Yunchang is just following the established route. But if Zhang Fei had been replaced, he would have called by now. Yun Chang's ability to control anger, coke, and arrogance happens to be able to obey Zhuge Liang's strategy one by one. ”

Pang Tong asked the guards in the village to dig a ditch inside the main gate, and the crossbowmen were armed. In such a situation, even if his cavalry rushed in, there would be no good fruit to eat. If his village is broken, the army must return to the pass.
