Convinced of Pang Tong, Ju Yi did not question it.

In the evening of the same day, many Jiangdong warships docked on the bank of the Yangtze River, and Tai Shici and Zhou Tai led the Jiangdong army and were busy withdrawing to Jiangdong.

After getting the news, Ju Yi hurriedly went to see Pang Tong.

When he came to Zongyang, Pang Tong did not order the construction of a camp.

When Ju Yi came to his side, he was talking with Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

"General Pang, as you expected, the Jiangdong Army has withdrawn." Ju Yi said with his fists clenched.

"They've withdrawn, and it's time for us to go into the city." Pang Tong stood up and instructed the guards: "Send the order, and the army will enter the city immediately." ”

A strange scene occurred outside the city of Zongyang.

The soldiers of the Cao army marched in the direction of the city gate, and the Jiangdong army marched to the bank of the Yangtze River.

The two armies were not far apart, but neither had the intention of attacking the other.

led the Jiangdong Army to leave, and Tai Shici looked back unwillingly.

"What is Ziyi looking at?" Zhou Tai asked.

"Are we really just leaving?" Tai Shi Ci asked.

"What if you don't leave?" Zhou Tai said: "Cao Zirong sent troops to help, if you love the war, I am afraid that in the end our army will be wiped out." If we leave all the soldiers and horses here, Jiangdong will be in chaos, who will pacify it? ”

"Zhongmou inherited Jiangdong, you didn't doubt it?" Tai Shi Ci suddenly asked Zhou Tai.

"Suspect what?" Zhou Tai was stunned.

"Bo Fu has an heir, why don't you pass on your younger brother?" Tai Shici said: "Although I am loyal to Jiangdong, I have also had doubts about this matter. ”

"Bo Fu thinks so much, is it any use?" Zhou Tai said: "Things have come to this point, even the old lady supports Zhongmou, what else can you and I do?" ”

"It can't be." Tai Shi Ci said: "The only thing I can do for Bo Fu is to help him take care of the little boy......

"Are you suspicious......" Zhou Tai was stunned.

"I don't doubt anything." Tai Shici said: "Bo Fu treated me well at the beginning, I just took care of the little boy for him, so that the little boy could become an adult smoothly." ”

"I understand Ziyi's thoughts." Zhou Tai said: "I also know that no matter who is in power in the Jiangdong Sun family, you will not be able to do something like Li Shu." ”

"General Zhou is right." Tai Shi Ci said: "But I dare to say that no matter who is unfavorable to the little boy, I will kill him immediately." ”

"Don't say this kind of thing in the future." Zhou Tai reminded: "In case it is heard by the old lady or Zhongmou, it will not be good. ”

Zhou Tai reminded that Tai Shici didn't say much more.

He glanced back in the direction of Zongyang.

"Ziyi doesn't need to look at it." Zhou Tai said: "Li Shu has picked up a life, and one day we will cut off his head." ”

"After today, I'm afraid it's not so easy." Tai Shici shook his head and said: "Li Shu has served Cao Zirong, and if you want to kill him in the future, you have to start an all-out war with Cao Zirong." Do you think Sun Zhongmou has that courage like Bo Fu? ”

"At the beginning, Bo Fu also praised Zhongmou." Zhou Tai said: "Bo Fu once said that it is not as good as him to expand the territory. To govern the place, he is not as good as Zhongmou. ”

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Tai Shici didn't say anything more.

He really wanted to say that Sun Ce said this at the beginning, but he just wanted Sun Quan to assist his son in the future.

But now that Jiangdong has fallen into the hands of Sun Quan, it is obviously not appropriate to talk about these things.

The Jiangdong Army returned to Jiangdong on a large ship.

Pang Tong led the army into Zongyang.

When the army entered the city, Li Shu faced the city gate and bowed with his fists.

Seeing Pang Tong, he shouted loudly: "The eldest son is mighty, and the generals are mighty!" ”

"Childe is not here, General Li doesn't have to be like this." Pang Tong raised his hand and said, "The general has worked hard these days. ”

"It's not hard." Li Shu said: "I thought I would definitely die, but I didn't expect Gongzi to actually order the generals to come to help, Tai Shici and Zhou Tai heard about the prestige of the generals, and they didn't dare to fight, so they fled directly." ”

Pang Tong smiled slightly, and his eyes fell on the trees on the side: "Why don't the trees in the city have bark?" ”

Speaking of trees without bark, Li Shu said with embarrassment: "Before the Jiangdong army came, I didn't have too much grain and grass......

"Are the officers and men of the three armies hungry?" Pang Tong asked again.

"In order to last a few more days, the soldiers' rations were halved." Li Shu said even more embarrassedly: "Although I have food every day, I can't fill my stomach." ”

"Please General Li give the order and let the people come to the granary to receive rations." Pang Tong said: "As for the officers and men of the three armies, I will order the military quartermaster to send some food and meat. ”

"General Pang is really our great savior." When Li Shu heard this, he half-knelt on the ground and said: "From now on, I, Li Shu, am willing to follow Gongzi, even if I am full of liver and brain, I will not hesitate to do so!" ”

"General Li, there's something I want to ask you." Pang Tong asked Li Shu: "It is said that Sun Ce treated you well at the beginning, why did he die and you betrayed Jiangdong?" ”

"It's not me who betrayed Koto." Li Shu said: "I'm just questioning Sun Quan. Sun Bofu is not without heirs, after his death, his son should have inherited Jiangdong, but he was taken away by Sun Quan. It was precisely because of my loyalty to Bo Fu that I questioned Sun Quan, but not only did he not answer, but he still wanted to take me. Fortunately, I escaped in time, and now the Jiangdong Army is besieging the city. ”

"In this way, General Li is also a loyal man." Pang Tong nodded and said to Li Shu: "There has been a shortage of food in the city for many days, and the soldiers and people who receive rations later will suffer a little more. We're still handing out rations while we're talking. ”

Li Shu responded and accompanied Pang Tong to Cangqiao.

When they arrived at the warehouse, Pang Tong asked them to pile up the grain and grass they had brought on the open field, and said to Li Shu: "Please call the people here." ”

Before Pang Tong came to Cangli, Li Shu had already let people inform the whole city, saying that rations were going to be distributed.

The hungry and panicked people had already gathered outside the gate of the barn.

Pang Tong asked him to call the people in, and Li Shu said to the guards on the side: "Let the people come in and tell them that they are not allowed to rob." Those who dare to rob food will be killed! ”

After the guards left, Pang Tong asked Li Shu, "Why did General Li specifically order that no looting was allowed?" ”

"General Pang doesn't know." Li Shu said: "The people are hungry and panicked, if you let them all in, some people don't follow the rules, and they will definitely come forward to grab the food when they see it." When others see them robbing, of course, they will also be chaotic when they follow. Rather than wait until that time, it is better to say in advance that all those who rob will be killed. ”

"That's what General Lee said." Pang Tong nodded.

As the two of them spoke, the soldiers had already opened the gate of the barn, and crowds of people swarmed in.

Seeing the mountains of grain and grass, the people who poured in swallowed their saliva one by one, but no one dared to come forward and rob them.
