Guo Pei was shocked when he saw those people on the wall, and the blood faded.

Pang Tong said loudly outside the city: "Guo Pei, I am Pang Tong." Guo Yuan deceived people too much, I just fought back. It is also the will of heaven to win his city today, if you surrender, you can continue to be the county commander. You should recognize these people, they are all members of your Guo family, Guo Yuan's wife and children are all old and young, and I have never treated them badly. As long as you can surrender, I will ensure that the entire Guo clan is safe. ”

Guo Pei gritted his teeth and said sharply: "If you repent, won't my entire clan be destroyed." If I stay, there will still be a trace of blood! ”

Pang Tong pulled out his double swords and said: "Ignorance, do you want to learn from Guo Yuan?" His 100,000 troops can't help me, and thousands of people in your city can get great ambitions? You're ruining the whole clan for your own selfishness! I stand between heaven and earth, and now I swear, if you surrender, I will move your people to a penny, and I will be bombarded by five thunders! ”

Guo Pei saw him swear poisonously, looked at his family again, had to sigh, personally went down to the city to open the door, and welcomed Pang Tong and the others in. As a result, Xuanyang County and Hongnong County in Hongnong County, Anyi County and Pingyang County in Hedong County were all occupied by Pangtong. The entire Sizhou is not included in Yanjin County and Chaoge County of Henan County. Pang Tong incorporated Guo Yuan and Cai Xuan, with 230,000 troops. On the basis of occupying Hongnong County and Hedong County, Pang Tong stationed 10,000 soldiers and horses in Tongguan, west of Hongnong, 20,000 in Pingyang County, 30,000 in Xuanyang County, 10,000 in Huai County, and 10,000 in Hugaoguan. In this way, there was no way to directly attack Luoyang, only guarding various passes and cities, and Pang Tong's power suddenly expanded to the entire Sizhou. Because of the issuance of the decree, there is no offense with the people, so the people are also happy, and there is no way to complain.

Pang Tong began to attack the last two cities of Sizhou, and pressed 100,000 horse infantry troops to camp fifty miles outside the Tiger Prison Pass. The envoy who came back from Chenliu County went directly to his big village to ask for a meeting. Pang Tong took the document and looked at it, and offered himself the title of Sizhou pastor by the emperor, Pang Tong laughed and said: "How can I ever ask to be a state pastor." Cao Cao was cunning. At first, when I saw that I was small, I ignored it. Now I see that I have a bit of a climate, so I use this method to envelop me. ”

Lu Su smiled under the tent: "Congratulations, sir, in this way, it is justified for us to occupy Sizhou." ”

Pang Tong put away the holy decree and sat down in the chair. He asked, "What is Cao Cao's situation now?" ”

Lu Su replied truthfully: "Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven, had 150,000 soldiers and horses, occupied Chenliu County in Yanzhou, and then sent troops to attack Qiao Mao's Wuchao City in Dongjun. Captured last month, the original territory of Dongjun was merged into Chenliu County, and Dongjun no longer existed. ”

Pang Tong nodded and said: "Wuchao has a lot of grain, it is the grain depot of Yanzhou, and Cao Cao's ambition can be seen. I don't know what Liu Dai plans to do. ”

Lu Su said: "I think that Cao Cao has the Son of Heaven in his hands, and Liu Dai should not dare to do it." ”

Pang Tong shook his head decisively: "No, Liu Dai must be on pins and needles at the moment, and he has to make a move." Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have courted us. Don't forget, Wuchao County borders Yanjin and Chaoge counties to the west. ”

Lu Su took a sharp breath and realized: "This is to stabilize the west, and plan to attack the east!" Liu Dai is in danger! ”

Pang Tong instructed: "Lord Lu, please go to Cao Cao quickly and discuss the alliance." ”

Lu Su was stunned and said: "Cao Mengde has not yet occupied Yanzhou, and this gathering will stimulate Liu Dai." ”

Pang Tong chuckled: "I really don't have any friends here, the Bingzhou in the north of Sizhou is an enemy, not to mention Huaxiong in the west." Liu Biao in the south is estimated to be about to go crazy. Now the east side can be stabilized. If we are enemies on all sides, we will end miserably. ”

Lu Su took the order and left. Pang Tong didn't tell him that Cao Cao's strategy, ambition, and mind were not comparable to Liu Dai.

Two days later, Liu Biao's document was sent to the big tent, which was handed over by the envoy of Xuanyang City. Pang Tongyi looked: "I am a dignified Han clan relative Liu Biao, I believe in the words of the younger brother of Shiyuan, today you have sat in Sizhou, you should keep your promise and hand it over to me." ”

Pang Tong was busy repairing two letters. After letting the two envoys leave, he immediately raised his troops and marched north, pressing twenty miles south of Yanjin City. He ordered the soldiers to harvest the rice and wheat outside the city, and the harvest was very rich.

At this time, the fast horse has arrived in Xuanyang County, and the general who guards the city is Zhao Yun, who has a document: "Zilong is on strict alert, and Liu Biao may commit it in the future." ”

Lu Su brought gold and silver artifacts to Chenliu County, and went to the county hall to meet Cao Cao, and said: "Lord Cao is above, I am a huge man engaged in Lu Su, and the word is respectful." I am here today for the two alliances. ”

Cao Cao nodded quietly and said, "This is exactly what I want." When Pang Tong and Lu Bu were under Dong Zhuo's hands, they had the grace to save my life, and they should not be forgotten. I will write to you. ”

Lu Su took the book and left. Returning to Pang Tong, Pang Tong saw the document: "In Xia Cao Cao, I will meet Pang Tong and Lu Bu Xing, and there will be fate in the end." Looking at the situation in the world now, the two alliances will be the most important, and we will be like brothers and sisters in the future. ”

Pang Tong thought to himself: "It's okay to be like a brother, it's a matter of competing for hegemony, whether you stab me in the future is still a question." ”

Three days later, another envoy arrived in Xiangyang City, and Liu looked at the document: "Lord Liu is above, Pang Shiyuan is really a child, how dare you steal your Han territory." I want to strike while the iron is hot and take down that Wang Kuang, and then the Sizhou territory will be owned by Lord Liu. ”

Liu Biao frowned and handed the paperwork to Kuai Liang. Kuai Liang snorted coldly after seeing it, and said, "This is a plan to delay the army, this person is resourceful." We waited for the loss of the army and lost the general, but did not get the benefit, but he sat on the profit of the fisherman. He is a ruthless conspirator, and he cannot stay long. ”

The other person on the side is Kuai Liang's brother Kuai Yue, who is also Liu Biao's advisor. He said: "This person is in his early twenties, and he can break the siege crisis, but instead use this crisis to break through the three parties and occupy Sizhou." With this wolf ambition, it will become a big disaster! ”

Liu Biao nodded and said, "Immediately start an army to defeat the thieves." ”

Pang Tong ordered the three armies to march to the city of Yanjin in the early morning to call for battle. The city guard is the county commander Chen Qun. Pang Tong knew that this person would be used by others in the future, and his political talents would be derived from Cao Wei according to the original history. But when I saw it today, it was a confrontation between the two armies. It is not to be soft.

Pang Tong ordered people to challenge, Chen Qun did not come out of the city, the guards on the wall were full, and the flags were everywhere. Sticking to it for three days, Pang Tong felt a little anxious in his heart. On the fourth day, he ordered a large army to storm the south gate, and the defenders of the city resisted vigorously, arrows rained down, and Chen Qun even made the soldiers pour down the boiling water, and the climbers wailed. Half a day later, the city was still there, and Pang Tong's army lost thousands of people, and immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army. To the big tent, Dian Wei, Gao Shun, and Lu Su were on the side, Pang Tong frowned, Dian Wei didn't understand military affairs and didn't dare to speak, Gao Shun glanced at Lu Su. Lu Su arched his hand and said: "Don't disturb, my lord, the enemy army does not have many defenders, and if you continue to attack, you can take it." ”

Pang Tong said in a lamented voice: "I pity the suffering of the soldiers! ”

The three of them trembled when they heard this, and their hearts were very sad. Lu Su took a deep breath, stepped forward in two steps, and said, "Adults are big things, and they can't be confined to small sections." Storming the city is inevitable. Which dynasty hasn't? ”

Pang Tong said: "There are countless soldiers who have lost money in the attack. ”

Lu Su suddenly had a plan and said: "The northern land is suitable for excavation, it is better to ......" and said his thoughts, and Pang Tong was overjoyed when he heard it. At night, Pang Tong's army feinted to attack the south gate and the east gate, and ordered an excavation team of 500 people to quietly dig a hole in the west of the city. By the time of the fifth watch, the offensive in the east and south was still in place, and the tunnels in the west had reached the city. The 5,000 infantry lying in the west of the city rushed in and rushed out of the city, causing the defenders to panic and rush to deal with it, but it was too late. After all, because there are only 5,000 defenders in the city, how can they fight against the 100,000 army, and digging tunnels only reduces the strength of the attack and defense.

The defenders of the city finally surrendered about 1,000 people, and Chen Qun was just a civil official, and after a few swings of his sword, he was taken down on the city tower. If it weren't for Pang Tong's order, he would not be allowed to kill civil officials, otherwise he would also be a soul under the knife. At this time, Pang Tong came to the city tower and sat on the big seat, and Chen Qun was pressed to kneel on the ground.

Pang Tong said: "Are you the county magistrate Lord Chen?" ”

Chen Qun said coldly: "It's down, kill it quickly." ”

Pang Tong immediately got up, untied the rope himself, then helped him to the side and sat down, and arched his hand: "I am Luoyang Pang Tong, I have heard that Lord Chen has a good governance, and I have already had the heart to return. Unexpectedly, in the end, they met at this killing array, which is really not beautiful. I ask Lord Chen to continue to be the county magistrate here, so that the people's lives can continue. ”

Hearing this, Chen Qun hurriedly got up and said: "A huge young man, a big talent, a seat is shocking. I will continue to guard this place, and repay the great people for knowing what has happened. ”

At the same time, Xuanyang City reported that Liu Biao's army was stationed thirty miles north of Xuanyang City, with about 200,000 horses.

Pang Tong frowned when he heard this, and at this moment, Lu Su and the others were in the lobby of the county government mansion. He said: "Jingzhou really has a lot of soldiers and food, and there are 200,000 people who come casually, which is really a big bully for the small." ”

Lu Su said: "At present, unless our army withdraws its troops and defends, there are only 50,000 people in Luoyang to go." A mere 80,000 troops is unimaginable compared to those 200,000. And although there is Lord Jiang Wan to drive, there are many Jingzhou people strategists and fierce generals, if they are all killed, they may be defeated. ”

Pang Tong clenched his fists, and at this time, he took a sip of tea from someone, and said with a sigh of relief: "The spies came to report, after Wang Kuang hurriedly recruited troops, there are nearly 30,000 horses, and it is difficult to attack strongly." Now that there is a great enemy in the west, we will withdraw our troops for the time being. ”

Gao Shun said: "We have already arrived here, as long as the song is defeated, the entire Sizhou will be an adult!" ”

Pang Tong shook his head and chuckled: "Sizhou is the smallest state in the world, and it is not enough to worry in the eyes of the world's heroes. I'll take a long-term plan and leave Wang Kuang alive. I believe that he will not dare to act rashly. ”

Pang Tong left 30,000 horses to defend the city and broke away with his troops. Ten days later, when he arrived in Luoyang City, Lu Bu had already led 50,000 horses and horses to Xuanyang.
