Chapter 424: Choice
Seeing Pang Tong's sworn appearance, Zhang Fei was immediately puzzled, "Strategy, what is your plan?" ”
Every time Pang Tong swears by what he says, but the final result is not satisfactory.
Pang Tong naturally didn't know what Zhang Fei was thinking, and if he knew, he would definitely be even more angry.
In Pang Tong's opinion, if it weren't for Zhang Fei's disobedience to orders, how could he have fallen to this point.
"That's right." Pang Tong looked at Zhang Fei and nodded with a smile.
"Now that Lu Bu's army has been blocked by my design in Yidu, imagine if at this time, Lu Bu has not been able to attack Yidu for a long time, but Liu Wei has quickly conquered Jieshi, what will Liu Wei think?"
Pang Tong looked at Zhang Fei and didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically.
"I don't know." Zhang Fei thought for a moment and shook his head, "How do I know what they will think." ”
Pang Tongyi was even more speechless when he heard this, and then waved his hand, "Liu Wei will naturally think that Lu Bu is deliberately delaying and refusing to attack, and then Liu Wei will naturally continue to march into Xuzhou." ”
"Liu Wei entered Xuzhou, once he gained something, then he will inevitably give Lu Bu a feeling of making wedding dresses for others, so will Lu Bu still help Liu Wei?"
Pang Tong looked at Zhang Fei and said with a smile, this is also the remedy he only thought of after losing the Jieshi.
The loss of Jieshi was an accident, but it did allow Liu Wei to take Jieshi in a short time.
"I see, wouldn't Lu Bu turn against Liu Bi at that time?" After listening to Pang Tong's words, Zhang Fei said with a smile.
Although he still doesn't know exactly what Pang Tong said, he still doesn't know very well, but looking at what Pang Tong said is the Tao, he shouldn't be wrong.
"Well, so what about letting Liu Wei win some levels at this time, you just need to hold Xiao Pass and wait for Lu Bu's reaction." Pang Tong nodded.
With the current strength of Xuzhou, it is already a lot of consumption to delay Lu Bu in defending Yidu, so naturally there is no way to divide the troops, and it is naturally the most suitable idea to concentrate troops to defend Xiao Pass.
As long as Xiao Pass cannot be broken, then it is impossible to drive straight into Xuzhou, and Xiao Pass is backed by Xuzhou, and it is even more difficult to break through.
Then Pang Tong and Zhang Fei led the people to retreat in the direction of Xiao Guan.
Now that there is a plan, there is no need to continue to keep an eye on this stone.
In three days, many of the checkpoints between Jieshi and Xiao Pass have been captured by Tao Ying and Zhang He.
"It seems that Jieshi has won a big victory, and we have received Zang Ba's help again, and Liu Bei's army is already frightened."
Tao Ying saw that he was getting closer and closer to Xuzhou, and he was about to take revenge, so he couldn't help laughing.
"General Tao, don't be careless, in my opinion, I'm afraid they know that they can't hold these checkpoints, so they save their strength and retreat deliberately."
Zhang He was more sober, frowning and looking at Tao Ying and speaking.
This enmity between Tao Ying and Liu Bei, Zhang He is naturally clear, so when the closer to Xuzhou, the more chance there is to take revenge, Tao Ying will inevitably lose his mind a little.
"General Tao, let's be careful in everything, if we don't take Xuzhou for a day, we can't relax."
Zhang He looked at Tao Ying and continued to add, the more at this time, the more you have to stay calm so that nothing will happen.
"Thank you Junyi for reminding me, it was Tao Ying's gaffe just now, now let's take a little rest, and then tell Your Majesty about the situation, and continue to march tomorrow."
Tao Ying arched his hand after listening to Zhang He's words, and then said with some apologies.
Zhang He patted Tao Ying's shoulder to understand, then nodded, and ordered to set up camp to rest the army.
"Your Majesty, a letter has arrived from General Zhang and General Tao."
A few days later, when Liu Wei and the others were entertaining Zang Ba, who had already led the troops from Kaiyang, in the hall, a soldier who delivered a letter stepped forward to report.
"Bring it up." After hearing this, Liu Wei spoke.
Soon Liu Wei finished reading what Zhang He said in the letter, and Liu Wei was not surprised by this.
Because before this, he and Zhuge Liang had expected such a result.
"You tell the two generals that even if you don't have to worry about sending troops, there will be no resistance until you are under Xiao Pass."
Liu Wei looked at the person who delivered the letter and said with a smile, he hoped that Liu Bei could send men and horses to fight with him in those places that were easy to attack and difficult to defend.
"Alright, you go down first."
"Yes, Your Majesty." After listening to Liu Wei's words, the soldier directly responded, and then turned around and left directly.
"Your Majesty, if this is the case, I am afraid that when the time comes to capture Xiao Pass, it will inevitably be a fierce battle." Zang Ba spoke after the soldier went down.
These forces are concentrated in Xiao Pass, and Xiao Pass is already easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it will naturally be even more difficult.
Liu Wei smiled, "What General Zang said is extremely true, but I am ready. ”
This time to attack Xuzhou, Liu Wei was ready for a hard battle, anyway, he must take Xuzhou anyway.
Zang Ba nodded after listening to Liu Wei's words, but it is also on this battlefield, which battle is easy, since he has already sent troops, he is naturally ready.
"Your Majesty is far-sighted, and Zang Ba admires it." Zang Ba then looked at Liu Wei and said with a smile.
"It's just the work of everyone." Liu Wei said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, the people we sent to Yidu have returned."
Just as everyone was joking, someone had already stepped forward to report again.
Liu Wei smiled, this is really going to pick a time to catch up together.
"Let him in."
As Liu Bian's words ended, it didn't take long for someone to enter the main hall, and then they first saluted Liu Bian, and then took out the letter.
Liu Wei quickly opened the letter after receiving it, he wanted to see what tricks this Lu Bu was playing, and what the letter said.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what Lu Bu said in this letter?"
Zhuge Liang saw that after Liu Wei read the letter, he frowned and looked thoughtful, so he asked on the side.
After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Wei directly handed over the letter.
After reading it, Zhuge Liang also understood Liu Wei's thoughts.
"Now that Lu Bu is blocked in Yidu, and our army is driving straight in, I'm afraid that Lu Bu will be dissatisfied at that time."
After everyone read the letter, Liu Wei sighed and said.
"Yes, it seems that this is Pang Tong's strategy, let's be in a dilemma, if we advance, Lu Bu will be suspicious, and if we retreat, we will lose all our efforts." Zhuge Liang also spoke at this time.
Liu Wei naturally knew it. However, it is impossible to retreat, and it is impossible for him to keep spending on the stones.
As for going to Yidu to help Lu Bu, the two checkpoints are also in opposite directions, which is obviously an unrealistic problem.
So he has only one choice, continue to enter the army, even if this will lead to Pang Tong's way.
This can be regarded as Pang Tong's conspiracy, but he can't help it.
"Your Majesty, at this time, there is no choice but to repair the book and inform Lu Bu, and then it is better for him, as for how to choose, it can only depend on himself." Zang Ba thought for a while and said.
"What General Zang said can be tried." Zhuge Liang also nodded and said.
If Lu Bu can be stabilized temporarily, it will definitely be beneficial to Liu Bi, and if not, he can only fight Lu Bu in advance.
"In that case, let's do it." Liu Wei saw that Zhuge Liang had agreed, so he naturally agreed.
If Lu Bu really wants to stop himself from taking Xuzhou, then he can only turn his face.
He did have some scruples about Lu Bu, especially at this time, but he had not yet reached the point where he did not dare to fight.
When Liu Wei wrote a letter for people to send away, he also sighed, the hustle and bustle is all for profit, the last moment is still cooperating, and the next moment he may turn his face.
Although Liu Wei also felt helpless, he also understood that such a thing was not unusual.
A few days later, Zhang He and Tao Ying finally attacked under Xiao Pass.
In Lu Bu's camp outside Yidu, Lu Bu also received a letter from Liu Wei.
"Gongtai, what do you think about this matter?" After reading the letter, Lu Bu's face was a little ugly, and he looked at Chen Gong on the side and asked.
Chen Gong immediately took the letter, and frowned after reading it.
