Chapter 409: The Battle of Xuzhou
On March 27, 196 A.D., Liu Wei's army came out of Jinyang, except for the Longwu army under Zhao Yun, a total of 50,000 horses, falsely claiming that 100,000 horses went to Xuzhou.
However, it was said that Liu Wei's army had not yet arrived in Xuzhou, but the momentum was huge, how could Liu Bei not know.
"This Liu Wei finally did it to us." In the Xuzhou Mansion, in the conference hall, Liu Bei said with a cold face.
"Why should the lord be angry? Wasn't this a matter of time before the lord had expected this? ”
At this time, Pang Tong, who was sitting next to Liu Bei, saw that Liu Bei's face was not good-looking, so he immediately got up and looked at Liu Bei and said.
"That being said, but this Liu Wei is too deceitful, I am the uncle of the Han Emperor, where can it be his turn to send troops."
Liu Bei looked at Pang Tong and still said with displeasure.
"That's it, but don't worry, big brother, as long as this Han army comes, I will be the first to kill it and kill those Han troops."
Zhang Fei still looked at Liu Bei in a rough voice and said, "It's like if Liu Wei's army arrives now, he will be able to kill it immediately."
"This time he sent troops to Xuzhou, I must let him return in vain, so as to be ashamed." Liu Bei thought that Liu Wei had hurt him so badly before, and the hatred in his heart poured out of his mind.
"Big brother, this time King Hongnong sent troops to Xuzhou, known as 100,000 troops, not to be underestimated, although the eldest brother has some roots in Xuzhou, but after all, it is still not deep."
Guan Yu opened his Danfeng eyes, and then looked at Liu Bei and persuaded, the lying silkworm eyebrows seemed to be squeezed together.
"Lord, what the second general said is yes, not to be underestimated." At this time, Jian Yong, who was sitting in his hand, said very approvingly after listening to Guan Yu's words.
"Okay, I know, but now that Liu Wei has come to the door, we can't be too ambitious to destroy our prestige."
In the past, he has always been pressed and beaten by Liu Wei, but now although he is not as good, he is also the lord of Xuzhou.
Is it possible to be afraid of this Liu Argue all the time, thinking of these Liu Bei is very unhappy.
"Shi Yuan, this time Liu Wei sent troops to Xuzhou, it is reported that Zhuge Liang is the military advisor, I don't know if you are sure?"
Liu Bei looked at Pang Tong on the side, and then asked.
However, although it is a word of inquiry, the meaning of this is self-evident.
Liu Bei knew that Pang Tongyi was always comparing with Zhuge Liang, and he wanted the world to know that he was more powerful than Zhuge Liang.
So as long as he said this, Liu Bei believed that Pang Tong would definitely not be indifferent.
"Don't worry, even if Zhuge Kongming is Wolong, but my Pang Tong is not incompetent, and he will definitely keep Xuzhou comprehensive, as long as Kong Ming dares to come, he will definitely give him a big gift."
Pang Tong sneered and looked at Liu Bei and replied, his tone was also very confident.
But it's not so much self-confidence as it's paranoia.
"Okay, Shiyuan, then everything will be left to you." Liu Bei looked at Pang Tong and said with a smile.
For him, as long as Pang Tong can defeat Liu Wei's army and defeat Zhuge Liang, it is enough.
As for what means Pang Tong used and what his purpose was, these have nothing to do with him.
"Yes, my lord." After listening to Liu Bei's words, Pang Tong got up and replied.
In fact, Liu Bei's thoughts, how could he not understand, but now he has no choice.
And with Liu Bei's current character, it is easier to accommodate himself.
Anyway, as long as you can achieve the goal, it doesn't matter what the means are.
Liu Bei just happened to be such a person, everyone took what they needed.
"Now that Liu Wei has sent troops to Xuzhou, all he relies on is Lu Bu, the three family slaves, as long as he can block Lu Bu's attack, then there will only be one Liu Wei we need to deal with at that time."
Pang Tong looked at everyone at this time, and he had already begun to analyze.
"Shi Yuan, although your words are simple, the question is, how can we stop that Lu Bu?"
Jian Yong asked after listening to Pang Tong's words, he naturally knew this, but the question was how to do this.
If it's just a simple analysis, anyone can do it.
"Yes, military advisor, why don't you let me Lao Zhang go and fight with Na Lu Bu for another three hundred rounds." Zhang Fei also shouted in a rough voice at this time.
"Lu Bu's bravery, the battle of Tiger Prison Pass, everyone knows, three generals, you still don't want to be reckless, you can only outwit, not attack."
After Pang Tong heard Zhang Fei's words, he shook his head with a smile and said.
"Although Shi Yuan has never witnessed it with his own eyes, the four generals fought against Lu Bu, but they are also famous all over the world, so Lu Bu's courage must not be underestimated."
"These three family slaves are really powerful." Finally, after listening to Pang Tong's words, Zhang Fei also had to admit it.
"So we can only outwit him, and naturally someone will deal with him for us when the time comes." Pang Tong smiled and answered.
……
In addition to Xuzhou, this time Liu Wei raised troops, and Lu Bu naturally did not dare to slack off after receiving the news.
The capture of Xuzhou was originally an agreed matter between the two families, and if they regretted it or something went wrong at this time, then the consequences would be serious.
Now that he has publicly torn his face with Liu Bei, if he doesn't grasp the opportunity at this time, when Liu Bei has the opportunity, how can he let himself go.
"Gongtai, now that Liu Wei has started from Jinyang, what are the plans of Gongtai?" Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong, who was sitting on the side, and asked.
This cooperation to crusade against Liu Bei together was all Chen Gong's advice on the side, so for this matter, Lu Bu was naturally the first to ask Chen Gong.
"Feng Xian, don't be in a hurry, this crusade against Liu Bei is imperative, so Feng Xian doesn't need to hesitate." Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu and said lightly.
It's already come to this point, and it's already necessary to send it.
And only by taking Xuzhou can he help Lu Bu occupy the land of the two states and gain a firm foothold among the northern princes.
"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll personally lead 30,000 horses to go, and Hou Cheng, Song Xian, and Wei Xu will go out with the army."
After Liu Wei finished speaking, he set his eyes on the three of them.
"Yes, my lord." The three of them waited to be the leaders and responded in unison.
"Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, you two only need to guard Shouchun, Huainan and other places, this is our foundation." Lu Bu then looked at Zhang Liao and Gao Shun and said.
"Yes." Zhang Liao and Gao Shun also responded in unison after hearing Lu Bu's words.
Lu Bu was able to hand over this matter to them, which also showed that Lu Bu trusted them.
So Zhang Liao and Gao Shun didn't continue to say anything.
Time passed gradually, and soon several days passed, and the distance between Liu Wei's army and Xuzhou was naturally getting shorter and shorter.
And the former army Tao Ying and the 20,000 horses led by Dian Wei are even more so.
"How? Where has the Han army gone? In the Xuzhou Mansion, Jian Yong looked at the spy and asked.
"Report to my lord, now that the front army of the Han army is not far from Xuzhou, I am afraid that in three or five days, they will set foot in the border of Xuzhou."
"Three or five days, the speed of these Han troops is really fast, I have long heard that the Han army is well-trained, not to be underestimated."
After listening to the report, Jian Yong sighed directly and said.
"Then hurry up and tell the military advisor the news, right?" Zhang Fei also opened his mouth at this time.
Although he didn't like this Pang Tong very much before, but no matter what, Pang Tong is still in charge of this war.
"The military advisor is not here for the time being, and it is precisely because of this that I will temporarily replace the military advisor."
Zhang Fei just got up, but Jian Yong had already opened his mouth at this time.
"Not there? How did we not know? Guan Yu was also stunned after hearing Jian Yong's words.
At this time, Pang Tong was not there, and he left without telling him in advance.
"This... The military advisor had previously instructed that there was no need to publicize this matter. ”
After Guan Yu heard Jian Yong's words, he also knew that since things were already like this, it was useless to say more.
Anyway, it's not the first time that Pang Tong has done such a thing, and now even the eldest brother will avoid him for some things.
"You are talking about Shi Yuan, Shi Yuan is back, and he has brought back a big gift."
Guan Yu still had to say something, but before he could speak, Pang Tong had already walked in with a smile and looked at everyone.
