Chapter 29: Pang Ji
Liu Tong beckoned to Zhang Leopard in the distance, and Zhang Leopard hurriedly came to Liu Tong's side.
"Brother Leopard, how many centaurs were there in Yiyang City? Who is in charge? ”
"Third master, Taishou is Pang Ji, Duwei is Lu Jie, and there were 1,800 people before."
When Liu Tong heard this, Pang Ji and Lu Jie were not celebrities, "That is to say, if Gan Ning came to Jigong Mountain and transferred a thousand people, there would only be eight hundred people in the city!" It's easy to do, he hits him, we beat ours! What Duan'er said also makes sense, this place is not a place to live, so let's take some settlement money and go to the north! ”
"Third brother, the north is too far away, the road is dangerous, and I don't know the opinions of other brothers." Zhang Hu said.
When Liu Tong heard this, he thought to himself, this Zhang Hu is not a decisive person.
"Big brother, ask the brothers clearly, if you are willing to join the army, you will go to the north, and if you are not willing to join the army, you will be given a considerable resettlement fee, and you can live on the spot or back to your hometown, isn't it?"
After everyone heard this, the lobby suddenly became noisy. Chen Sheng approached and whispered to Liu Daodao: "Third brother, there is no money and food in the cottage, and the settlement fee is ......."
Liu Tong raised his voice and smiled: "Second brother, we are robbers, so we naturally ask Liu Biao for the settlement fee." Yiyang City is not far away, I will take you to pick it up. ”
After the chamber fell silent. Liu Tong gathered everyone over, pointed to a simple map and said: "Look, Yiyang is located in the hinterland of Jingzhou, with a military center of Xinye in the north, and a military town of Xiangyang in the south, and it is not a border with Yuzhou. Even if the garrison is a regular guard, what Zhang Baozi said must be true. Yiyang is a county governor, the treasury must be rich, we now have 1,200 soldiers, if we outwit, we will return with a full load! ”
After hearing this, everyone was gearing up, they didn't expect Liu Tong to be so bold that he dared to fight Yiyang, in the past, everyone didn't dare to think, "Third master, how to outwit?" ”
Liu Tong said his thoughts one by one. Zhang Hu, Chen Sheng and others were overjoyed after hearing this.
On the same day, Zhang Hu sent Zhang Leopard and Hao Qi to take about 300 people to Yiyang City in batches after dressing up. Chen Sheng took people to the mountains to collect pine branches and pine resin, and rushed to make tens of thousands of torches.
When Hao Qi came to report that Gan Ning had set off, the Tiger Village had been cleaned up, and all the staff went down the mountain, taking advantage of the dark night to take advantage of the detour to the outside of Yiyang City.
When the night was shining, the sky was not yet bright, and the guards on the city wall of Yiyang suddenly found that the east, north, and west sides outside the city were surrounded at the same time, and tens of thousands of torches stretched endlessly, and the army from nowhere surrounded Yiyang.
Just when the torches were lit, in Yiyang City, the government office, military camps, granaries and other places were in chaos.
The first thing to mess up is the granary, the granary guards are not many, and they have already been killed by the tiger village minions who have lurked in these days, and the ruffians and hooligans all over the city have heard the legend of their friends, tonight when the granary is opened, the grain is taken by itself, dozens of people take the lead in rushing in to grab the grain, and everyone keeps moving to the house.
More and more people knew the news, and the people of Menghu Village kept shouting, and the people who had been short of food for a long time ignored it and joined the food grabbing team, and there was chaos in the city for a while.
In the chaos, the barracks were burned, and people kept shouting: "The enemy has attacked, Pang Taishou has been killed, run from the south gate!" ”
At the same time, Zhang Hu, Chen Sheng, and Liu Tong led people to the east gate quietly, and Zhang Leopard, who was ambushed at the east gate in advance, took his minions to capture the east gate, and hundreds of soldiers near the east gate were repulsed, the city gate was opened, and Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng rushed in with a team of 800 people.
Yiyang Taishou Pang Ji was woken up by the sound of chaos in his sleep, and when he woke up, he found that the mansion had caught fire, and Pang Ji panicked.
The guard general Lu Jie hurriedly came to report, "Huge people, the army from nowhere, has surrounded my Yiyang, the east gate has been lost, the granary, the military camp has been in chaos, the last general has come to escort, we will kill from the south gate and go to Xiangyang for help!" ”
Pang Ji is also a knowledgeable and intelligent person, "There is no army nearby, I recently heard that Cao Mengde is going to Yizhou, could it be that Cao Mengde is passing by and making trouble?" It doesn't make any sense, huh? ”
"My lord, time is pressing, let's settle accounts with him in the future." Lu Jie said and pulled Pang Ji and ran out. There were already carriages and horses waiting, and Lu Jie took more than 100 soldiers to escort Pang Ji and his family to the south gate.
At this moment, I saw a twenty-something Tun chief with a hundred soldiers stopping Pang Ji's carriage, "Lord Taishou, Captain Lu, the chaotic people in the city are all ordinary people, and I haven't seen the regular army enter the city!" ”
"Spread out! Too much to keep your safety first! Lu Jie said angrily, "Don't you see tens of thousands of horses outside the city?" ”
"General, there are torches all over the city, but there is no sound of horses, I expect it to be a suspicious plan! There are no troops of Yuan Shu and Liu Kuan around Yiyang, where is the army? "The tun chief is a grassroots officer, who commands 100 people, and Lu Jie saw that the tun chief dared to stop him, and wanted to whip and whip him.
Pang Ji stopped Lu Jie, "What this person said is reasonable, a few days ago, Cao Cao's son reported that there were bandits gathered in Jigong Mountain, Liu Kuanzuo had already gone up the mountain, General Gan Ning had just entered Jigong Mountain, and someone was attacking the city, could it not be that the robbers of Jigong Mountain did it?" ”
Lu Jie said: "My lord, the robbers of Jigong Mountain, more than thousands, less than hundreds, how to besiege the city, I expect it must be Cao Cao's doing?" ”
Tun Chang was anxious, took a step forward, and bowed his hand to Pang Ji, "My lord, then Cao Cao is going to Yizhou and has a good relationship with Liu Jingzhou, and there is no reason to attack Yiyang!" If it is a thief's suspicious plan, will my Yiyang be captured by 800 people? ”
Pang Ji was silent, and Lu Jie saw that Pang Ji was shaken, and he also felt that what this person said was reasonable, so he said: "It's not child's play to keep Taishou's safety, and I will protect Taishou out of the city." ”
Pang Ji was unwilling, and pointed to the tun chief and said, "You and gather your soldiers to repel the enemy at the east gate." General Lu Jie, you quickly send someone to Jigong Mountain to inform General Gan Ning, and when Gan Ning's rescue arrives, we can attack both inside and outside to annihilate the invading enemy! ”
"The last general commands!" The tun chief said that he led the team straight to the east gate.
However, Liu Tong and others entered the east gate, and Liu informed that the east gate was the lifeline of more than 1,000 people in Menghu Village, and the most important thing was that there should be no mistakes, and he decided to guard it himself. Then he said to Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng: "Don't fall in love with war, take the treasury and withdraw immediately!" Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng got the order, left three hundred soldiers, and took the rest of the horses and went straight to the Taishou Mansion.
Liu Tong was in a good mood, and people kept coming to report the situation in the city. The whole city has been in chaos, and the defenders and guards in the city have fled from the south gate. Liu Tong leisurely waited at the south gate for Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng to return with a full load.
Half an hour later, Liu Tong saw a group of Yiyang soldiers rushing towards him, and he was very puzzled, the other Yiyang soldiers had already dispersed as birds and beasts, and they were busy running for their lives, how could there be such a team of people who were not afraid of death? Then they set up a position and waited for it.
Liu Tongjian was led by a big man in his twenties, with a long beard, holding a large knife, wearing leather armor, and rushing to the front on foot. Liu Tong originally wanted to fight the other party alone, but the other party didn't come to this set, and led more than 100 people to rush over directly.
Liu Tong had more than 300 tiger village minions on his side, and as soon as he received the troops, Liu Tong saw that his side had poor combat effectiveness, and immediately showed signs of defeat.
The opponent's soldiers are brave and extraordinary, and their movements are neat and uniform, and they all compete for the lead. Liu Tong hurriedly restrained the soldiers to retreat in an orderly manner, retreated to the steps of the upper city, and defended according to the favorable terrain. I hope to wait for Zhang Hu and them to come back to help, thinking that the other party must not increase the number of troops.
The person who came was Wei Yan, the commander of the tun, Liu Tonglong jumped up and landed in front of Wei Yan, and the soldiers around Wei Yan saw this, and suddenly formed a formation, surrounded Liu Tongtuan, and protected Wei Yan.
Wei Yan pointed at Liu Tong with a big knife and shouted, "Who is coming?" Wei Yan doesn't kill the nameless ghost! ”
"I'm a robber!" Liu Tong laughed out loud, suddenly stunned, and stopped laughing, what? Wei Yan? How is Wei Yan in Yiyang? Yiyang Warrior, yes, Wei Yan started as a Yiyang Warrior, isn't Wei Yan a Yiyang person? Liu Tong hurriedly said in a panic: "I'm not a robber!" That ......"
At this moment, Wei Yan swung his knife and slashed, and Liu Tong hurriedly raised his gun to block it. At this time, more than a dozen spears around Liu Tong stabbed at the same time, Liu Tong shouted that it was not good, danced the guns in a circle, and swept away the weapons around him.
The Yiyang warriors were well-trained, and if they missed a blow, they collectively took a step back, and then stabbed in a circle, only to see more than a dozen spears stabbing at the same time from the top, middle and bottom, Liu Tong had no choice but to jump up, and stepped on the spear in the air to retreat with strength.
Long Duan'er stood on the steps and watched all this, and felt a little relieved when he saw Liu Tong retreating.
Liu Tong jumped up the steps and shouted loudly: "Brother Wei Yan, don't get me wrong, I'm not a robber, let's stop and have a good chat, I have admired you for a long time!"
After Wei Yan heard this, he felt inexplicable, thinking that the thief was a thief after all, and he had no words, and he salivated his face, so he brandished a big knife and attacked in the direction of Liu Tong.
