Yuzuki asked the soldier to give her the package he was carrying. She and Pang Tong went to the dense forest, and asked the soldiers to continue to observe the movements of the enemy soldiers on the mountain. In the woods, the birds chirped, and when they saw the two approaching, the birds scattered.

Xue Yue, who looked proud, said: "If it weren't for me, it would be up to you what to do this time." ”

Pang Tong didn't seem to want to admit defeat yet, he looked into her eyes and said, "I suggested that you bring these things, that's because I'm already a little bit worried about things." ”

Xue Yue, who frowned, said angrily: "I'm still hard-mouthed, when didn't you let me take it now." It seems that you care a lot about the battle with Zhuge Liang. But yes, the dignified Pang Tong will also be surrounded by people on the mountain, which is really unbearable. ”

"Isn't it hard not to be sarcastic about me? Come on. ”

An hour later, Pang Tong and Xue Yue came to the top of the mountain, and the soldiers were still anxiously waiting for their return. But what the soldiers saw were two disguised men, Pang Tong became a man with bronzed skin and a scar on the left side of his face, and Xueyue turned into the appearance of a woman in her twenties in Jingzhou. The soldiers were suddenly on alert, thinking they were enemy soldiers. Some people even shouted: "Stop, who are you!" ”

Pang Tong, who was in his thirties, deliberately suppressed his voice, making the voice coming out of his throat muffled, and he poured: "We are General Pang's secret envoys, and we are responsible for following him and giving him orders." You didn't even realize we existed. Our skills are not something you can predict. As you can see, we wear the same clothes as the general, just to confuse the enemy at a critical moment and give the general a chance to escape. Now the general has begun to find a mountain road to escape. He asked me to bring you a message. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and on the palm of his right hand was a rare jade pendant the size of a palm. This is a precious jade, rare in the world. If you send this jade pendant to Liao Hua, you will say that you are the messenger of the peace talks. told Liao Hua that the person on the mountain was Ji Ling, saying that although Ji Ling was under the command of Pang Tong, there was no way to do it, and he had always had the intention of rebellion. If he is willing to let Ji Ling go, Ji Ling can be used as an internal response in the future to defeat Pang Tong's army. And if he agrees, then tomorrow at the third watch, Ji Ling will go up the mountain from the foot of the mountain to the east, and there he will disperse the soldiers and make way for them. He thought about it again and said a few words.

The soldier nodded hurriedly. Pang Tong pointed to one of the prime men and said, "Go ahead!" ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers took the order and departed. He went down the road up the mountain from the east, and was besieged by Liaohua's men and horses at the foot of the mountain. He said in a loud voice: "We are the messengers, and we want to see Lord Liaohua!" ”

The soldiers of Liao Hua took this person to the cottage, and Liao Hua was looking at the topographic map at this time. Seeing that a messenger was coming, Liao Hua sneered: "What is there to talk about in this kind of crisis, let Pang Tong die." As long as he is caught, it will be a great thing for me Yizhou. ”

The envoy took out the jade pendant, Liao Hua's eyes lit up at first, and then he smiled lightly: "Why is this?" ”

Although he was a little worried in his heart, the messenger who still mustered up his courage said in a deep voice: "I am a close confidant of Lord Ji Ling. He was ordered by Pang Tong to come here to investigate, but he was unexpectedly besieged by Lord Liao. Master Ji originally followed Yuan Shu to break into the world, but he had no choice but to follow Pang Tong in the end, which was not his original intention. He believes that Pang Tong will not be the one who can occupy the world. Hell-bent on finding an opportunity to rebel. If Lord Liao is willing to let Master Ji go, Lord Ji can act as an internal response in the future to exterminate Pang Tong together. ”

Liao Hua, who was a little at a loss, was very disappointed that the mountain was not Pang Tong, he walked over a few steps and took the jade pendant of the messenger, carefully looked at it in the firelight for a while, and said: "The jade pendant is a good thing." He thought for a moment, then turned to the messenger and said, "That's it, since it's not Pang Tong, it can't be considered a great achievement, and since Ji Ling has the idea of opposing Pang Tong, I will let him go." ”

The envoy hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness, being weak is really a major event for us to be reborn. Please disperse the soldiers to the east on the third watch tomorrow, so that Lord Ji can escape. In this case, others just think that Ji Ling is highlighting the enemy's encirclement, and no one will notice that the two of you have a relationship. ”

Liao Hua, who kept nodding, laughed and said, "That's it." ”

After the envoy was sent to the foot of the mountain by the soldiers of Liaohua, he went up the mountain alone. When the soldiers saw Pang Tong and others who were gnawing buns on the mountain, they told the truth. Pang Tong stood up and stretched his waist and said, "The general is ready to go down the mountain, as long as we follow his plan." ”

Xue Yue looked at his confident back and smiled, and said in her heart, "Is there anything he is afraid of?" ”

At the second watch of the night, Pang led his troops to the north and found a mountain road down the mountain. However, the soldiers were very puzzled, why they were going to the north when they said they were going from the east. With this doubt, they followed behind the so-called secret envoy who suddenly appeared. The night was thick with fog, and they rushed down the foot of the mountain smoothly, although they could see some moving figures around, but because it was a heavy fog at night, and the enemy soldiers were very scattered, they did not notice it at all. It was only when the enemy soldiers heard the sound of horses' hooves that they reacted, and only then did the cavalry rush after them.

Pang Tong waited for the soldiers to run north for two miles, then took a road up the mountain, and then found a way down the mountain to go around to the east, and galloped along a large river to the location of what was probably his camp. They arrived at their destination in the morning. After entering Dazhai, the soldiers were still very puzzled why they would take such a route. Pang Tong would not tell them clearly, and when he finally arrived at the door, the guards couldn't recognize Pang Tong, and waited for the soldiers to say that it was a secret envoy before putting it in. However, after the envoy entered Pang Tong's tent, he reverted to his original appearance.

As a participant and a bystander, Xue Yue thought about this matter carefully, and she knew Pang Tong's thoughts. He asked the soldiers to talk to Liao Hua and gave Liao Hua a few concepts, the first person on the mountain was Ji Ling, and there were not many people on the second mountain, so he could only run. But Liao Hua must have doubts about whether it was Ji Ling on the mountain, but he clearly knew that he couldn't let anyone go, so he only dealt with the matter of the third watch going down the mountain to the east, which made the people on the mountain relax their vigilance. But he didn't know that Pang Tong had already calculated his psychological dynamics. Just when Liao Hua stepped up the encirclement of the eastern foot of the mountain, he completely ignored the encirclement network in several other aspects, so that the defense line in the north was sparse, giving Pang Tong an opportunity to take advantage of, while he pounced on the east.

And Pang Tong Yirong actually did not play a particularly big role in this matter. It's just that once a dangerous situation occurs, when Zhuge Liang has already given the portrait of Pang Tong to Liao Hua, the pursuers will not know who is Pang Tong among the dozen or so people and don't know who to surround them. In the case of breaking through and escaping, disguise will play a certain role.

After Pang Tong returned to Dazhai, Lu Bu and others, who had been anxiously waiting for a long time, immediately came to his camp, and Lu Bu said: "Tanma returns, there is a wave of people and horses in the southwest of Anyang County, dozens of miles away, the word "Guan" is advancing to this side, I don't know if it will enter the city. ”

"Guan Yu?" Pang Tong, who had a very expectant expression, smiled: "The old man has not been seen for many days." It seems that Guan Zhang has gathered here, and Zhuge Liang wants to have a life and death with us. But I don't want this wave to go too well. How many people are there? ”

Lu Bu replied: "In terms of scale, there should be 50,000 to 70,000 people. ”

"Ji Ling!" Pang Tong called.

"The last general!"

Ji Ling gave up his hand.

"If you quickly lead 10,000 light cavalry to bypass the wooden tower in the night, take it away from the mountains to the south, and then march westward, if I am right." Pang Tong got up, walked to the table on the side, and looked at the topographic map. "You can meet Guan Yu's army in three days. Remember, you take advantage of the movement of the light cavalry to attack his Red Army by taking advantage of the mountain road. Do everything you need to do when you want to do it, and don't be reckless. ”

Ji Ling took the order and left. All the way out of the village, according to Pang Tong's meaning around the wooden tower, to the south of the mountain area after twenty miles to the west into the plain terrain, another thirty miles to stop, sent out to explore the horse, learned that Guan Yu's army has come, depending on the situation will go a valley area.

Ji Ling began to analyze the terrain. When the valley was gone, it was bound to pass a lowland road, which was surrounded by reeds. If you ambush the enemy in that kind of place, you will definitely have a greater gain than directly attacking Guan Yu's army. And if you take the mountain road according to Pang Tong's statement, then only by directly following him and raiding his rear army, Guan Yu may give up the rear army by taking advantage of the terrain and let the front army and the rear army go first.

Under such circumstances, Ji Ling looked up to the sky and said: "The general will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected." He decisively gave up the idea of following Pang Tong's instructions. A day later, at the end of the watch, the brisk army had quietly ambushed the reed forest area, and the Ji Ling soldiers were waiting quietly.

More than an hour later, Guan Yu's army drove out of the valley floor and was about to enter the reed forest on relatively low ground. Guan Yu on the red-bodyed black-spotted war horse held the Qinglong Glaive Knife, took a deep breath, ordered the army to stop, and gave the weapon in his hand to Zhou Cang, who was close to the military general with a black face. He said: "The military advisor once asked someone to give me a bag of tips, and when I take this mountain road to reach this place, I can open the bag. Zhou Cang was silent after hearing this, and he also watched excitedly as Guan Yu opened the bag.

Then Zhou Cang held up the torch that approached, and Guan Yu took out a note from the bag, which read: "There must be an ambush in the reed land, and the whole army will stop and burn the forest." ”

Guan Yu, who swallowed his saliva, sighed: "Is there really such a divine thing? Will Pang Tongjun come here so soon? ”

Although he was still skeptical about this, Guan Yu had to act strictly according to Zhuge Liang's strategy, and he immediately quietly arrived in the reed forest with kerosene and other flammable things to light the fire. The flames raged wildly due to the high density of the reeds, and the red flames rolled in the lowlands and rose into the sky. Ji Ling in the forest didn't know what was going on, but because the fire was approaching, he thought that the enemy soldiers were coming, but the flames were getting bigger and bigger, and someone reported that there was a fire here, Ji Ling shouted in shock: "Withdraw from the reed forest!" ”
