Pang Tong made a big show of the official in the territory. Because Pang Tong was not in a hurry or slow to attack Wuchao, the war between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao also began. Guo Jia reminded Cao Cao: "Don't be anxious, if Pang Shiyuan is dark and bright, our army must not act rashly." Wait until he really marches to Wuchao, otherwise if he conspires with Yuan Shao, our army will be attacked on its back. ”

Cao Cao pondered: "What Feng Xiao said is exactly what I want. ”

In late August, 200,000 people of Pang Tong's army left Chaoge County and arrived at Xiazhai, 20 miles west of Wuchao. But Pang Tong did not directly order the attack. Wen Chou, the leading general of the Wuchao side, was nervously guarded. And Cao Cao also stepped up his deployment and wait-and-see of the battle situation. The imminent outbreak of the three parties provoked the people of the surrounding towns and villages to flee one after another.

The summer wind whistled above the tent, Pang Tong read a book under the tent, and Dian Wei sat aside. At the second watch, Pang Tong blew out the candle and went to bed. Suddenly, sharp weapons broke through the wind, the white cloth of the camp tent was pierced, and more than a dozen sharp weapons were fired at will. Simply Dian Wei turned over and kicked Pang Tong's bed over. Pang Tong was also aware of the danger. Suddenly, the Assassins poured in, and they couldn't tell the number of them. Apparently the guards outside the tent were dead. Dian Wei grabbed the opponent's short blade with his bare hands, his palms were dripping with blood, and he kicked the assassin out with a single kick, smashing the tent crookedly. The other Assassins attacked, but Dian Wei was not afraid, and with his familiarity with the darkness and combat experience, he swept out with a left punch and a right kick after dodging the enemy's attack, and the two fell to the ground. At this time, Pang Tong was already holding the king's sword, and with a "swish", the man in black was opened by him, and blood flew everywhere.

At this moment, a soft figure flew to Pang Tong's side, attacking with a dagger, Pang Tong knew that it was that powerful woman again, and immediately turned around and retreated, and the sword in his hand swept wildly. In desperation, he tripped over a wooden cabinet behind him and fell to the ground. The female assassin found this moment and stabbed with a sword, and Pang Tong rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding the killing move. At this time, Dian Wei reflexively swept over, and the female assassin flew backwards.

"There are assassins!"

The patrols of the Pang Tong Army outside noticed something strange and shouted. The female Assassin and the two remaining men in black slashed through the tent, one of them tripped over the tent, and Dian Wei grabbed him by the ankle with one hand and jerked him back, slamming him to the ground. The man screamed and remained motionless.

After a while, Pang De and Ma Chao were the first to arrive, and then Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, Ma Teng and others all gathered over. The soldiers renovated the tents.

Pang Tong took a seat, on both sides of the civil and military columns, he patted the dust on the lining and said, "It's the third time." It's so bold. These professional assassins came to our army's Dazhai as if they were in a no-man's land. ”

Gao Shun arched his hand and said: "Patrols and guards have been dispatched, don't worry, adults." ”

At this time, the soldier escorted one person in, the one who was stunned by Dian Wei, and he was already tightly bound. The man knelt on the ground, and the mask and turban were removed. But the man sneered and fell down again, biting his mouth tightly, blood running down the corners of his lips.

The soldier hurriedly checked the situation and said, "General, he bit his tongue and killed himself." ”

Pang Tong frowned, waved his hand and said, "That's it, these crazy guys, I thought there would be some eyebrows." ”

"Wait!"

Suddenly, Lu Su came out of the ranks, walked in front of the man, looked at the corpse's face, and said, "Xiaguan has seen this person...... I have seen it in Yuan Shufu, although there is only one side, but I have the ability to never forget people's faces, and I can't be wrong. ”

Pang Tong was stunned and said, "How can it have anything to do with Yuan Shu?" ”

"You can't be wrong, I did. The mansion built by Yuan Shu is as strong as a palace, with a total of three floors. The councils were on the second floor, and he slept on the third floor. No one is allowed to enter this third layer, and civil and military officials such as us are not qualified to do so. But on that day, I saw this person go to the third layer, which shows that it has a great relationship with Yuan Shu. ”

Pang Tong said coldly: "Since this is the case, I have to know that it is transparent, maybe it has something to do with the Red Lotus Sect." Zilong, Lu Su. ”

The two of them then walked to the center and stood by.

"Zilong leads the troops, and Lu Su assists. Others do not disobey orders. Dian Wei and I went to Jiujiang County once. ”

Lu Su was shocked and said: "By all means, the three armies are about to fight, and my lord has withdrawn, how can our army enter?" ”

Pang Tong said: "Our army will not move, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will not move." You can rest assured. These old foxes are very accurate. We are a fuse in this war, the key. They will only move if we give a signal. Of course, if there is an accident, Lu Su, as a military advisor, you should do your best. No violation! ”

Lu Su had no choice but to say: "The lower officials obey orders." Although others also wanted to dissuade them, they all knew that Pang Tong's decision would not be repented hastily. And he must have been fully prepared, otherwise how dare he set off with Dian Wei.

Although he was used to doing this kind of thing, as Lu Su, he was still afraid, and he was deeply afraid that the commander would die outside and the army would be defeated.

The two trekked through mountains and rivers and arrived in Jiujiang County five days later. The county was heavily guarded, and preparations were made not for Cao Cao, but for the possible march of Sun Quan. Yuan Shu now has only one county left, and the entire legion has been forced into a dead end. The people in Shouchun City were panicked, as if they were in trouble at any time, and everyone had no happy expressions, and their faces were like earth. Dian Wei followed Pang Tong, but he didn't know what he wanted to do. Unexpectedly, he walked directly to Yuan Shu's mansion. Pang Tong instructed Dian Wei: "You go first, go to the inn in the west of the city you just saw and ask for a room, wait for me." Dian Wei frowned, and said in a low voice: "If the Lord ......"

Pang Tong said: "Go quickly." ”

Dian Wei just gave it up and left. Pang Tong turned around and looked at the landscape inside the high wall and the door.

"This son of a bitch."

Pang Tong sighed. What you see is a palace-like complex. There were many patrols outside the city walls, and more than 20 people were guarding the open main gate. Seeing Pang Tong wanting to enter the inner city. The guard hurriedly came with a gun, and said in front of Pang Tong with a gun: "Who, don't trespass." If there is an important matter, you can report it. "The guards also know that if they dare to come here, they will not be ordinary people, they will be either rich or expensive, so their words are quite gentle, for fear of offending people.

Pang Tong's face was serious, and he said: "I am the envoy of the general Pang Tong of the expedition, and I have important business to visit!" ”

When the guard heard this, his waist straightened. After all, Pang Tong is one of the great princes today. He immediately returned to the house. Then he ran as if he was about to collapse and came to Pang Tong, and said breathlessly: "Hurry up...... Come in. ”

Immediately he asked the other guards to bring them in. Golden tiles, red columns. Pang Tong, who was wearing a green robe, shuttled between the pillars, sighing that this Yuan Shu was really arrogant and lascivious, and spent a lot of people's fat and people's ointment. There are many courtyards and pavilions, which are really a good place for people to rest and recreation. I saw the guard lead him along a paved gravel road. The winding road stretches from the promenade to the rockery, and then climbs the stairs to a hexagonal pavilion. Yuan Shu, who was overweight and lazy, sat up from the couch, but he was still eating watermelon in one hand and rubbing the right breast of a maid with the other. Pang Tong felt unbearable, but there was still no way, so he had to give up his hand and say: "Under it, it is Cao Mengde's strategist Jiang Huan." ”

"Ahh

The scream did not come from Yuan Shu, although he screamed in his heart, but he used his strength with one hand, and the maid screamed in pain. Yuan Shu threw away the watermelon skin, as if he wanted to sit upright as much as possible, he wiped the sweet and greasy moisture on his face, his fat lips opened, and a ruddy tongue **** the corners of his mouth. There seemed to be tears in his eyes that were about to overflow, but as if they were covered with them, motionless, like someone with trachoma or some other eye disease.

He moistened his throat and said, "Then why do you say that it is Pang Tong's people?" I also thought to myself, what did Pang Tong do with me. ”

Pang Tong curled the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "It's just a trick, I don't want that kind of nameless guard to know too much." The tone of his last words was deliberately accentuated. Yuan Shu understood and immediately ordered all the maids and entourage to retire.

Yuan Shu showed a deep smile and said, "Cao Mengde saw that I was small, so why didn't you let you bully me?" ”

Pang Tong said: "Master Cao knows that Sun Quan wants to take Jiujiang County. And Sun Quan has this ability at the moment. So send me over to discuss it with Lord Yuan. If Lord Yuan is willing to return to the Cao family and share the glory and wealth together in the future, how about you still be the county guard here? ”
