Chapter 311: Pang Tong Arrives Again
Xu Shu just plainly recounted the battle between Zhuge Liang and Cao Cao, among the four forces except Liu Feng, Liu Feng had already analyzed with Xu Shu before giving himself a long vacation, and the result was that whether Cao Pi won or Zhuge Liang won, at present, I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for Liu Feng, so Liu Feng just let Xu Shu grasp the first-hand information and did not send troops to intervene.
"In this case, the next step is to pay strict attention to Zhuge Liang, after encountering such a failure, Zhuge Liang's temperament will definitely not be willing to be lonely, and the alliance with Jiangdong did not achieve its expected results, Jiangdong lost the most relied on Zhou Yu at this time, on the other hand, our army is in full swing, Zhuge Liang will most likely open in Jiangdong, but at the same time, I want to remind Mr. Shiyuan, after all, Xiangyang and my Jiangling are close at hand, and now there is no Runan, Zhang Fei has been liberated, not to be underestimated."
Liu Feng knew that this time Runan's defeat must be within Zhuge Liang's own expectations, and pulling Lu Meng was just a gamble to reduce some of his own losses, Cao Cao had millions of soldiers, even if he was too old to recruit in person, it was more than enough to make up his mind to protect a Runan, Zhuge Liang's failure this time also proved for himself, including Liu Feng, that the current Cao army is still under Cao Cao's full control, Otherwise, Cao Pi would never have known that there were very difficulties, and he had a stalemate with Zhuge Liang for a month or two.
In this case, unless Cao Cao dies, Zhuge Liang will definitely not attack the strong with weakness, but Zhuge Liang is an idle person, he will definitely make a move, so Liu Feng's Jingzhou can't be guarded at all.
"Today's second important thing, is Mr. Shi Yuan arrived in Chengdu, according to his words, a few days ago Jingzhou many matters were handed over to Lu Su, now there is still some time from the lord to Mr. Shi Yuan's one-month period, but according to Mr. Shi Yuan's words, the land of the five counties of Jingzhou is handed over to Lu Su, and there is no big problem."
Liu Feng listened to this, and his heart was also like what Xu Shu said, quite surprised, obviously, Xu Shu said this, he suspected that Pang Tong had done something hasty, but Liu Feng knew in his heart that Pang Tong was not an imprudent person, and now that he has arrived in Chengdu, it is very likely that he has something important to discuss with Liu Feng.
"In that case, I'll go and meet with Mr. Shiyuan to see what he thinks."
Not long after, Liu Feng and Xu Shu arrived at the Chengdu court, and summoned Pang Tong, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun and other major generals in Chengdu into the court.
After everyone arrived, Liu Feng first introduced Pang Tong to Ma Chao and the generals who had surrendered Liu Feng from Yizhou, and everyone saw that Liu Feng respected Pang Tong very much, and they all did not dare to underestimate this person, and they all saluted.
"Mr. Shiyuan is here, but he has already settled Lu Su and the others?" After everyone sat down, Pang Tong and Xu Shu were divided into Liu Feng's left and right, and several generals were also standing in front of the hall, plus the generals who guarded at various critical passes, Liu Feng was also regarded as a large number of generals in Yizhou, which was enough to meet the needs of all kinds of wars.
Although Lu Su and the other three have been telling us all about Jiangdong's troops and defense situation these days, although Jiangdong's newly appointed right governor Lu Xun transferred the main camp as soon as possible, but I sent a small group of sailors to attack at night according to what the three said, which seems to have quite a gain, and now Jiangdong wants to restore the previous deployment, it is extremely difficult to achieve without two months."
Pang Tong saw that Liu Feng cared about the affairs of Jingzhou, so he first told the situation in Jingzhou since Liu Feng left, and the implication was that Sun Quan would never dare to rush to Jingzhou at present, and after Sun Quan remedied the losses caused by the departure of Lu Su and others, Lu Su had already gained a firm foothold in Jingzhou, so there was nothing to worry about, and there was one thing Pang Tong did not say but Liu Feng also knew in his heart, that is, in Sun Quan's mind, I was afraid that Zhou Yu also voted for Jingzhou together, and not really went to the mountains and rivers.
"Mr. Shiyuan can know that the combined forces of Zhuge Liang and LĂź Meng have been defeated by Cao Pi and Zhang Liao in Runan, Zhuge Liang lost Runan and Nanyang this time, except for my promise not to attack Shangyong within a year, he was almost beaten back to his original form." Because the news of Zhuge Liang's defeat and retreat had just been sent back, Liu Feng didn't know whether Pang Tong was in Jingzhou City and learned about it, so he asked.
"That's why I'm here." As Liu Feng expected, Pang Tong came from the result of this battle.
This battle between Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang for Runan was a rare battle in the Central Plains after Liu Feng's expedition to Yizhou, although the location was only between Nanyang and Runan, but the time spent and the energy invested by both sides could be regarded as a big war, so the result of this battle naturally had a very subtle impact on the various forces.
Cao Cao's victory to recover Nanyang and Runan not only temporarily stifled Zhuge Liang's painstaking northward strategy, but also a powerful response to the words that Cao Cao was about to die soon, which is currently rumored in the world, so that the forces, including Liu Feng, saw the true strength of Cao's army.
"What does Mr. Shiyuan think the outcome of this battle has to do with us?" Liu Feng just asked quietly when he heard this.
"According to the confrontation over the years, for Zhuge Liang, he has a lot of understanding, Zhuge Liang has a gap in his heart, and he can often turn passive into active, obviously weak but good at taking the initiative and can achieve good results, just like this time to go to the battle with Cao Pi, if it is a bystander, I am afraid that he will not be able to hold the county of Runan, but Zhuge Liang can hold on to the past two months, and then he can even introduce Lu Meng into the battlefield, if it were not for Cao Cao in Yecheng to send the nemesis of Jiangdong soldiers Zhang Liao with heavy troops, It is not yet known who will die in this battle, if it is really as rumored that Cao Cao will die soon, then the final winner of this battle must be Zhuge Liang, even if he is defeated, Zhuge Liang has saved seventy or eighty percent of his troops this time, and he thinks that Zhuge Liang will not be willing to be lonely......"
Pang Tong said a few words, that is, Zhuge Liang was analyzed very thoroughly, and all the generals nodded frequently after listening, obviously, Pang Tong was not idle in Jingzhou during this time, he must have studied Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan, who were very close to him, and had borrowed Zhou Yu to help Liu Feng collect the three important ministers of Jiangdong by taking advantage of Zhou Yu's serious illness, which had already impressed everyone, and this time he came in a hurry, and everyone was very looking forward to the strategy he brought.
