Chapter 257: When it's dark, it's true when it's false
Pang Tong sighed loudly and patted the case: "Sima Yi, this old horseman, must have set up a small group of men and horses somewhere to ambush the messenger. and acted in the village. After thousands of calculations, he finally fell into his way. ”
Although he missed the opportunity to defeat Sima Yi, Pang Tong, who learned of Cao Cao's defeat, had already relaxed. This terrifying offensive and defensive battle has come to an end.
Pang Tong left 10,000 men to continue to camp here, and after hearing this, he dispatched to prevent the enemy from suddenly attacking back. After all, it is a sure thing that they don't have food.
In Jiangxia City, Pang Tong feasted all the civil and military officials in the garden of the mansion, and the crescent moon was on it. Pang Tong sat on his knees on the ground, and Xue Yue stood behind him with his hands folded on his chest. Pang Tong knocked on a few cases and said to Congdao: "Didn't I let you make a long one?" ”
Congren was shocked when he heard this, but Pang Tong still laughed it off. After a while, several cases were changed to a long style, enough for the two to share. Pang Tong got up and said to Xue Yue: "Please sit with me on the female general." ”
Xue Yue frowned and said, "How can there be officials who sit at the same table as the prince?" ”
"What is an official who does not follow an official." Pang Tong said, at this time, everyone was already seated. He shouted around, "I will appoint Xueyue as the general of the guards, and I will take the position of Tianxiong. Do people have objections? ”
Lu Budao: "This is the name of the truth. ”
"Yes, without the help of the heroine, it is impossible for the adult to escape every time." Xu Shu said angrily: "Don't be afraid of the world laughing at you. From ancient times to the present, there have always been historical materials of female generals making great contributions, and precedents are everywhere. ”
"How could I be afraid." Pang Tong laughed and said: "Since he is a general of the guards, he must protect my left and right, and he will sit with me today, who has any objections?" ”
"Third lady......" Xu Huang blurted out, almost breaking the words. The people around smiled a little faintly after hearing this, and a little bit hid their faces with their cuffs and snickered. "I mean, General Xue has worked hard and deservedly ......"
Pang Tong arched his hand at Xueyue and said, "Please." ”
"You're clearly embarrassing me." Xue Yue's face was blank, and her voice was very small, so she sat down with Pang Tong.
Pang Tong raised the wine bottle and said: "This time, our army was able to successfully repel Cao Cao's army, all of which are the credit of your hard work. I would like to give you a drink. ”
The crowd drank it all. Because Pang Tong opened this chatterbox. Xu Shu said: "All over Jingzhou, even from Yizhou, the work of distributing grain has begun. But due to the king's restricted collection of grain, we should not be able to hoard enough food to support the expedition. It will take two more years to conquer the territory of Wei in the east. ”
Pang Tong lowered his head and shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I thought it was a good time to unify the world, but I didn't expect that as soon as I fought against Cao Cao, I had to retreat." With your help, I am afraid that I will not be able to survive this catastrophe. "After that, he raised his glass and toasted everyone again." Wait a little longer, and the people will be richer. ”
Although he said this on his lips, he was very sad in his heart. Asking him to wait for two years is really a matter of human life. He is not like Jiang Wan, a person who can be busy with internal affairs and never get tired of it. He prefers to throw himself into the battlefield.
"I want to pay tribute to Gongjin, you have a serial plan to stop Cao Cao's advance, and you have captured Cao Ren to defeat Cao's army. You are a vital player in this campaign. ”
Zhou Yu raised his glass and said, "The king is really elevated. If it weren't for General Xue to report on Cao Ren's military situation, how could I have caught this scheming man? ”
Pang Tong's mouth maintained an "oh" mouth shape and glanced at Xue Yue on one side. He coughed dryly and said, "Then it's better for Gong Jin and General Xue to respect together." ”
As he spoke, he leaned towards Xue Yue's position, and Xue Yue immediately raised her glass to touch him and glared at him fiercely. It's like a hungry wolf who is forcing back and wants to attack.
Pang Tong smiled dryly: "What are you doing." ”
"Take advantage of me." Xue Yue's voice was so low that only Pang Tong could hear it.
Pang Tong disagreed and drank the wine.
"This liquor is good, it's really good!" He couldn't be more than full of praise.
Zhao Yun raised his glass and said: "This is Jiangxia's famous Wanchun River Brew, which is the best that was once paid tribute to the imperial court. Now there are only 100 jars left in Jiangxia City, which is really a good wine that is difficult to find. Yanbi said to Zhou Yu: "Zhou Junshi made great achievements in the first expedition, and along the way, I saw the shadow of being a strategist, which is different from the bravery of the king, and you are more restrained." A toast to you, to punish me for my neglect. ”
Zhou Yu said with a little nervousness: "How dare you compare with the king." The king can be both civil and military, and the talent descended from heaven ......"
"Don't talk too much nonsense, I'll toast you another glass and drink it!" Pang Tong said loudly. Everyone laughed.
Subsequently, Pang Tong saluted Lu Bu again.
"My brother is fighting with me, and it's really hard."
"Hey." Lu Bu sighed.
"Why is my brother sighing?"
Others didn't know what Lu Bu was thinking at the moment, and he had a bitter look on his face when he had won the war.
"Fighting with Sima Yi, fighting with Yun Chang and Yide, if you kill someone, there is no way. But in the end, it's an old man, it's unbearable. He said, "I'll see if I can find a way to get them here." ”
"Unrealistic." Zhou Yu said coldly: "Liu Guanzhang and the three of them are righteous in Taoyuan, and they are famous people of benevolence and righteousness all over the world. These three people are inseparable. Today, when Liu Bei still wants to serve the Han family, Guan and Zhang can only be used by the puppet of the Han Emperor, that is, under the command of Cao Mengde of the Wei State. ”
"This matter will be handed over to Brother Xian!" Lu Bu said to Pang Tong very solemnly and raised the wine bottle.
Pang Tong hurriedly raised his glass and said, "Brother is really serious!" But...... This matter is very tricky, just like Gong Jin......"
"Over to you! I really don't want to fight them anymore! Lu Bu said suddenly, and the people around him were silent, and even Zhou Yu didn't dare to dissuade him. After all, he is Pang Tong's brother, and many things can directly affect Pang Tong.
"It's unbearable." Pang Tongyan finished his words and said, "Brother, don't worry too much, let me think about this matter." ”
Just when the atmosphere seemed a little stiff, Zhao Yun "Ah! The sound drew everyone's attention.
"How did I forget!" He immediately took out the steel scabbard from behind him, got up and sent it to Pang Tong's side. Bent over and handed it over. "Look, my lord, this is the sword obtained from killing Cao Cao's generals, and it is extremely sharp."
Pang Tong felt that it was a bit rude to sit and take the sword, so he immediately got up and took it, looked at the hilt of the sword, and said in surprise: "Qingyu Sword!" ”
"What? Adults know this sword. Zhao Yun asked puzzled.
"This is the sword used by Cao Cao, it is indeed extremely sharp, and the iron is as sharp as clay." Pang Tong pulled out his sword and swung it in the air several times, as if the air had been cut open at will.
"I've heard about it, too." Zhou Yu said: "It is rumored that Cao Cao has two swords, one is called 'Yitian Sword' and the other is called 'Qingyu Sword', both of which are rare famous weapons in the world. Presumably, the enemy general killed by Zilong was still a sword-wielding officer. ”
"So very good, and give it to the king." Zhao Yun said with a smile.
Pang Tong nodded, put his sword back into its sheath, and pushed it to Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun accepted it blankly and said, "Could it be that the king doesn't like it?" ”
"Definitely. Who doesn't want to have this kind of sword. But I already have the Seven Star Sword and the Ancient King Sword, both of which are also swords. Wouldn't it be a waste to ask for this sword again? Zilong himself stayed, as a saber, which was more convenient for close combat. ”
"Thank you, King!" Zhao Yun returned to his seat.
On the other side, Cao Cao's capital city of Xuchang. Guan Yu entered the new mansion. Since the mansion was so spectacular, he couldn't believe what he saw. At the door are all attendants standing, and there is a full-body statue of Guan Yu made of silver. And the wooden shelves in the palace are also full of valuable utensils. As it was late at night, he was led into the bedroom by the attendant, and as soon as the door opened, he asked about the smell of the fragrance. Guan Yu walked into the room, and the attendant withdrew, closing the door tightly.
The room is lit only by candles, and on the walls there are peony paintings by famous painters in the early Han Dynasty. On the table is a wooden box. He walked over and lifted the lid of the box, only to see the shining gold shining brightly. Guan Yu closed the lid with a calm expression. He sat down and pondered. Suddenly, there seemed to be something moving on the couch against the wall on one side.
