Chapter 223: On the eve of the Great War

"The lord must not!"

Pang Tong crossed the table, walked quickly to Liu Bei, lifted his robe, knelt on the ground with a 'plop', and hugged his fists.

Xiao Shu also stood up and hugged his fist at Liu Bei: "The heart of the lord, I think Shiyuan has already understood, don't do reckless things!" ”

Liu Bei nodded, slid down the 'steps', threw away the saber in his hand, and helped Pang Tong up with both hands.

"Come on, drink!"

This glass of wine, Liu Bei and Pang Tong drank each other.

This little episode made Pang Tong completely return to his heart.

The next day, Xiao Shu summoned Pang Tong, Xu Shu, and Chen Gong to convene the following military planning.

This small war conference room gathers almost the best and most intelligent people in the world today.

"Everyone, now Cao Cao and Ma Chao in the north are in a scuffle, in the battle, Ma Chao is gradually at a disadvantage, I want to send troops to attack Cao to save Ma Chao, what do you think?"

Seeing that everyone was coming, Xiao Shu took the lead in speaking.

"Ma Chao is our nail in the north, although Cao Cao was defeated this time and his vitality was greatly damaged, he still has Xun Yu and others by his side.

Therefore, it is easy to defeat Ma Chao, so I think that if we rush to send troops, if Cao Cao gathers forces and sets up an ambush halfway, we will be in danger. ”

Xu Shu was the first to express his opinion.

"Military advisor, what Yuan Zhi said is reasonable, Xun Yu is not a simple person, and we have not been well recuperated after the war, the army is tired, if we fight again at this time, I am afraid that Cao Jun will take advantage of the loophole."

Chen Gong's opinion was the same as Xu Shu's, and they both believed that it was not easy to fight.

Xiao Shu looked at Pang Tong on the side, and asked with a smile, "Shiyuan, what is your opinion?" ”

Pang Tong was participating in this kind of meeting for the first time, and he had never imagined that every military decision in Liu Bei's army would be made in such a way.

This greatly closes the loophole in one's decision-making.

Pang Tong nodded: "From the words of the two, I can imagine that Ma Chao is an important chess piece that we have placed in the north to contain Cao Cao, so this chess piece must not have any mistakes."

So, my opinion is to save!

But as the two of you have just said, some of the current situation of our army, rashly sending troops seems to be extremely disadvantageous to us, but don't forget, the Eastern Wu is located in Jiangdong.

This time, Cao Cao's forces have shrunk, and most of the territory cannot be controlled, according to the personalities of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, they will definitely not let go of such a great opportunity.

As long as we use letters to invite them to raise troops together, then Cao Cao will be a doppelganger and can only hold on. ”

Pang Tong was right, but Xiao Shu smiled faintly and said: "Shi Yuan's opinion coincides with mine, now in front of us is a big piece of cake, since our family can't eat it, then why not divide some of it?"

As long as we bite into the biggest, best and sweetest piece. ”

Since Xiao Shu and Pang Tong both thought that they should send troops, Xu Shu and Chen Gong could only cooperate as much as they could.

The four of them began to discuss the route of Jingzhou's troops.

Another ten days later, a complete plan for sending troops was placed in front of the four of them, which was the result of their hard work for half a month.

On this day, Xiao Rate received news that Sun Ce raised 300,000 troops and marched towards Jiujiang City.

When he got the news, the stone that Xiao Yu pressed in his heart finally landed.

"Someone, go and call the deputy military division, the left and right staff officers." Xiao Shu commanded to the soldiers beside him.

After a while, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, and Chen Gong quickly came to the combat conference room.

"Everyone, I have received definite news, Sun Ce raised 300,000 troops, extended the Jiujiang River to the north, and advanced to the Wet Whisker Dock, as long as Sun Ce passed the Wet Whisker Dock, then the back was all the way flat, like a broken bamboo, straight to Guandu.

I think there, there will be a big battle between Sun Ce and Cao Cao!

And we can raise 100,000 troops, go north along the way from the Tiger Prison Pass, join Ma Chao, and form a two-way flank attack on Cao Cao. ”

Xiao Rate was slightly excited, and told the three of them about his plan.

Pang Tong thought for a moment and put forward a bold idea: on the one hand, we can use heavy troops to feint and attack the Tiger Pass, and on the other hand, we can concentrate elite forces to smuggle across the Yangtze River and point our swords at Soochow.

In this way, we can take advantage of the situation and even clean up Soochow.

When Xiao Rate listened to this idea, his brows furrowed, in theory, this plan was feasible, but in reality, it didn't work.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are not fools, since they dare to send troops to attack Cao, then there will inevitably be heavy troops on the red cliff, just in case.

Why did Pang Tong come up with such a plan? Xiao Rate was a little puzzled.

"Hehe, Kong Ming, Yuan Zhi, Gongtai." Pang Tong smiled faintly, hugged his fists at the three of them, and said with a smile: "This sneak attack on Eastern Wu only needs 3,000 elite soldiers, led by a general, which will definitely make Sun Cejun's heart tremble."

When the time comes, we can take advantage of the situation to choose thousands of miles of fertile land and thousands of acres of fertile land. ”

Pang Tong's words are not unreasonable, but it is too despicable to do so.

"No, now our biggest enemy is Cao Cao, although the Sun and Liu families are not aligned, but there is also an unformed tacit understanding between them, if this tacit understanding is broken, the consequences are unimaginable."

Xiao Shu flatly refused.

What's more, the number of the special combat team is not up to the requirements, and this time to attack Cao, Xiao Shuo wants to use the special combat team as a blade to tear a hole in the dangerous tiger prison, so as to reduce casualties.

"Hey! Wrong this opportunity, once he becomes bigger, he will be in great trouble for us! Pang Tong looked at Xiao Shu helplessly, and said a little eagerly.

Pang Tong saw that Xiao Shu didn't speak, and urged: "Tong is willing to make a military order, and if he doesn't succeed, he will become benevolent!" Don't be suspicious! ”

He also knew that his plan was a bit risky, and if he didn't get it, he would be ruined, but it had been almost two months since he came to Liu Bei's army, and he hadn't made an inch.

This made Pang Tong feel a little ashamed of Liu Bei's kindness, there was a great fighter at this time, and Pang Tong wanted to catch it.

Xiao Shu looked at Pang Tong's expression, his eyes were full of determination, and he nodded for a long time.

"Shi Yuan, I will hand over all the special combat team members to you to help you succeed, but you must protect yourself."

Xiao Shu couldn't screw Pang Tong, so he could only accompany 1,500 special combat soldiers, not only that, but Xiao Shu also arranged for his third brother Gan Ning to accompany the army to protect Pang Tong, in order to be safe.

"Farewell!"

Pang Tong looked at Xiao Shu with a solemn face, solemnly hugged his fists, turned around and left to prepare.

Watching Pang Tong leave, Xiao Shu sighed secretly in his heart.

After Pang Tong left, Xiao Shu looked at Xu Shu and Chen Gong, and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Zhigongtai, we will proceed according to the original plan." ”
