In Xiyang County, Yu Ban led 200,000 troops to station, and when he saw that Pang Tong's army did not move, he entrenched himself in the city. At the same time, grim news came from the war in the north. Ma Chao's misstep in attacking Wuchao was broken by Guo Jia's strategy, and under the rescue of Zhang Liao, Ma Chao's army only retreated to Puyang with more than 100,000 people, and under the advice of Chen Gong, the wall could not be fortified. Zhang Liaojun was stationed in a small city called Lu'e on the west side of Puyang City. And the Xiahou army had already begun to prepare to attack Puyang City, and it seemed that they were not at all afraid of the union of Ma Chao and Zhang Liao. In such a situation, Pang Tong ate a piece of watermelon in the tent, and casually threw the watermelon skin towards the door of the tent that opened the curtain.

"You man!" Someone shouted outside. Then Xue Yue entered and said: "How to throw things, what virtue, and return an emperor." ”

"I'm trying to see who's approaching, and if it's an ordinary soldier, they can't dodge. You'll be able to get out of the way......"

"What kind of fallacy does it say, I think you are stupid by the war in the north, right?" Xue Yue glared at him fiercely. "Don't think that you are the emperor now, I will let you, in my eyes you are still the same Pang Tong as before, nothing else."

"You talk to give me some face, okay? The soldiers were standing outside, shouting and screaming at me as if I was a bag. Pang Tong pretended to sigh and said, "What's the situation there?" ”

"There are a lot of soldiers, about 200,000. Mainly cavalry, it should not be forbidden, I think there are people in command of very elite troops. Some of the soldiers and horses were all wearing horse armor, that is, the tiger and leopard riding bar, two thousand horses. ”

"I don't know which is stronger or weaker than my trap camp?" Pang Tong said to himself, "Has the brother sent to Cao Cao come back?" ”

"Brother?" Xue Yue glanced at him angrily, sat down on a chair casually and said, "You're still so kind, but why do you have to put a stinky shelf when you go out?" ”

"I'm a different identity now, I'm the emperor......"

"Stinky Emperor. To put it nicely, it's not my men's defeats. Xue Yue glanced at him coldly, and seemed to dislike Pang Tong's current identity.

"How do you know if you don't fight?" Pang Tong thought that he hadn't fought recently, maybe I could have a draw with you.

Xue Yue suddenly got up and said, "Okay! ”

Pang Tong hurriedly got up, stretched out his two hands and pressed down, looked outside the door, and whispered, "Auntie, I'm afraid of you." How dare I do anything to you, but you also save face, don't keep yelling. If I don't have a majestic appearance, how can I serve the people, and it is not so easy for me to lead a million soldiers and ten million people. You think I'm enjoying being emperor? Am I like an emperor? Gorgeous palaces? Harem beauties ......"

At this point, he stopped abruptly as Xue Yue cast a sharp gaze.

"What's wrong?" Pang Tong swallowed his saliva with a grunt, and he felt a sudden murderous aura.

"You already have two wives, and you still want harem beauties, do you have a conscience?" Xue Yue pointed to his nose and said: "I don't think you are a good thing, what is the difference between you and those men who spend all your time drinking, just like a child, if you have a little ability, you want to have a group of wives and concubines, but I don't know if people are not sincere, who will give you sincerity!" ”

Pang Tong grinned at her tirade and said, "Whether I want a harem beauty or not is my business." But why are you so excited, you're not my wife. ”

"That's right! I'm not! Xue Yue turned her face away.

The fingers of Pang Tong's two hands kept rubbing their palms, looking anxious that it was difficult to cope with the situation in front of him. He seems to have inadvertently ignited a bunch of flames, how can he extinguish them?

He took a deep breath, walked up to Xue Yue and said, "Little Ancestor, if you want to point fingers at me, you can do it." I can also do without the 3,000 beauties in the harem, and it will be enough to marry you again. ”

Xue Yue's body trembled at first, and then she suddenly got up and said, "What does it mean to marry me?" What did you think of me? Are you a tool to vent your desires? ”

"How can you say such ugly words?" Pang Tong frowned, thinking that I could not bear to let you be, and it hurt one's self-esteem to say such things in this situation.

"Why can't I say it, you just casually say that you want to marry me, and treat me like something? Yes, you are the emperor now, you are the Son of Heaven, our status is very different, I can't afford to provoke you. It doesn't matter if you don't take me seriously, can't I go......"

This time, Pang Tong was clever and grabbed her left arm and said, "I can't let you run anymore, don't be so angry." I always feel like I'm a fool, and it's supposed to be me who should be angry, and every time you get the upper hand, but I'm willing to do this kind of thing. Who made me a man. But there are some things you still have to listen to, and when I say them, I mean them sincerely, and there is no deception, I swear ......"

Xue Yue shook off his hand violently and said, "Don't! Then he hurried out.

Pang Tong stood on the spot, his face full of wry smiles: "I, the emperor, am really enough." But he thought again: "This woman's heart is a needle under the sea, it must be good." I said that, and he insulted me twice, which really made people lose their mood. But I couldn't let her go. What the hell was she thinking? ”

He was already upset, and he felt very unhappy when Xue Yue was so agitated, but unexpectedly, the spies came to report: "Cao Ren led 100,000 horses from Zhu County, Lujiang County, and wanted to attack Jiangxia County. ”

Pang Tong is in the north of Jiangxia, while Zhu County is in the east of Jiangxia, and the distance between Jiangxia and Zhu County is relatively close.

"Damn, it's all calculated!" Pang Tong jumped up. "Lao Tzu is not powerful, I am really a sick cat."

After the spies went out, Lu Bu rushed into the tent and said, "Your Majesty ......"

"What!" Pang Tong's chaotic mood was even more unhappy when he heard Lu Bu call "Emperor" seriously, and it seemed that everyone close to him had been alienated because of this "Emperor". He said with a straight face: "Brother, what are these words, it's better to call me Shiyuan." ”

Lu Bu, who originally came to discuss the military situation, was also stunned and said: "You are now the Son of Heaven, you can't help but be polite." ”

"What kind of etiquette, I will abolish the kneeling salute, and ask my brother to continue to call me Shiyuan, so that I will still be close, otherwise I will insist on tearing off my brother's relationship, no!" Pang Tong said angrily.

Lu Bu rarely saw Pang Tong look at him like this, so he said, "Shiyuan, don't worry. I'm here today to talk about Cao Ren's dispatch of troops to fight Jiangxia. ”

Hearing what Lu Bu said, Pang Tong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If I already have a plan for this matter, if it is something else, I really have to obey those strategists of the Wei Dynasty." ”

"It's better to kill Cao Zhi!" Lu Bu said angrily: "How can any enemy tear his face and treat us as monkeys, but we still don't do anything about the hostages, and we can't understand that you give Cao Zhi such good living conditions." ”

"That Cao Zhi is also a poor person." Pang Tong said indifferently.

"What poor man?" Lu Bu was stunned and said, "Is there something wrong with the virtuous brother?" Don't blame me for being heavy-handed, I still have to say what I have to say. I don't suggest you in the world, after all, it's a good thing. But your being too merciful to the enemy led to the end of being attacked by Cao Cao today. This hostage must be removed and given his head to Cao Mengde! ”

"There must be a problem within the Wei Dynasty." Pang Tong said calmly, his gaze fell into the void, and he didn't have a crosshair, as if he saw the scenery of other places. "That Cao Zhiren assassinated, fortunately, I sent two masters of the Dark Moon Battalion to guard his mansion in advance, otherwise it would be useless to rely on those soldiers."

"You mean, you saved his life?" Lu Bu was stunned and said: "Since someone wants to kill, just kill it." ”

"Let a hostage be killed before I have even decided on it, where will I put my face? And our people will not do such a thing, now only our enemies can do it. Pang Tong said.

Lu Bu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Cao Mengde is confused? How is it possible to kill your own son. Even if he has wolf ambitions, he can't do it. ”

"That's exactly what I thought." Pang Tong's eyes became sharper. "That's why I think that the infighting in the Wei Dynasty court is very fierce, and it should be dominated by Cao Mengde's sons. But now Cao Mengde is still alive, and the focus of their contention is the position of crown prince. This kind of thing should be used by us to weaken Cao Wei's power. ”

"What are you going to do?" Lu Bu asked.

Pang Tong smiled and said, "It's better to solve Cao Ren first." ”

"The enemy soldiers are fast, they should be able to reach Jiangxia City before us."

"Brother and Xu Shu are here to resist and build an earthen city, no matter what the situation, you have to ask Xu Shu before making a decision." Pang Tong instructed.

"Brother Xian plans to go in person?" Lu Budao: "It's better to let me accompany you, keep safe, and you can also break Cao Ren's soldiers and horses faster." I'll be the vanguard for you. ”

"If it is a head-to-head confrontation, it will definitely lose the soldiers and generals, and I will break Cao Ren. And just let Yide and Yunchang accompany you. ”

Hearing this, Lu Bu nodded and said, "It's good to have them with you, and I'll leave it to us here." ”

That night, Pang Tong had a dream, in the illusory world of white smoke, countless transparent people appeared around him like ghosts, sometimes passing by, sometimes staying close. Pang Tong was nervously guarded in the smoke, the nearest ghost was wearing armor, but there was no head, the neck was cut by a sharp blade, and the bloody head was dragged on his right hand, and his eyes were wide open.
