Chapter 253: It is the people who want it

One of the two generals will be a pincer attack, and one of the three generals will be a siege, the pinching is different from the siege, once the siege is completed, even if the other party is a super general, it can also force the other party to make random moves, when Guan Yu fights Tai Shici and Han Dang alone, Zhu Huan, a second-rate general, joins, and he can force Guan Yu to make random moves, and gradually overwhelm Guan Yu. But Guan Ping and Wen Ping's two generals did not achieve this effect, Tai Shi Ci's force was much better than Guan Ping, Han Dang's force was stronger than Wen Ping, although Pang De was weaker than Guan Yu, but his immediate kung fu was more flexible than Guan Yu, Guan Ping and Wen Ping did not gain an advantage in attacking Pang De, but was resolved by Pang De one by one, and took the initiative to attack.

"Eat a certain trick! Spin knife slash! ”

Pound laughed wildly, and quickly swung his knife to both sides, the knife was like a sharp wind, and he swung fifteen knives in a row at one time, the knife was pressing, and the knife was urgent! For a while, Guan Ping and Wen Ping could only resist to death.

When Pang De's moves were exhausted, Wen Ping and Guan Ping launched an offensive again, because Pang De fought in more than 30 times, the two generals knew each other at a glance, and saw that they could not take Pang De, and they were afraid of being suppressed by Pang De again, so they withdrew from the battle one after another.

Seeing that the two generals were retreating, Pang De didn't stop him, but just said loudly to Guan Ping's back: "Guan Ping'er, son, not my opponent, go back and tell your father Guan Yu, sooner or later he will take his head!" ”

"Pound, don't be rampant!" Guan Ping rode his horse and turned his head to Pound and said loudly.

It didn't matter if Guan Ping turned his head, he saw Pound bending his bow and shooting arrows towards him! Guan Ping hurriedly lay on the horse's back, trying to dodge the arrow, who expected that Pound shot not him, but the war horse under his crotch, Pound shot an arrow in the abdomen of the war horse, and the white horse neighed and fell to the ground!

"I don't accept you to bite me!"

This is the words used by Ma Hong's generals opposite, Pound De was also deeply affected by Ma Hong, Pound laughed and bent his bow again, and shot towards Guan Ping with two arrows in one hand!

"Despicable and shameless!" Guan Ping rolled on the ground and dodged Pang De's two arrows, only to see Wen Ping reach out and grab Guan Ping's hand and take him onto the war horse and run towards the city.

When Pound saw the two of them running out of the range of his bow and arrows, he put away his bow, took the long knife, and retreated!

Guan Ping returned to the city wall, looked at Pang De's retreat, his face turned green with anger, and he punched the city wall and scolded: "Pang Depiff, I will take your life!" ”

Wen Ping gasped slightly, leaning against the guardrail of the city wall, and did not answer.

Pang De retreated again and sent soldiers to deliver the news in the direction of Jingling, and after Liu Ye got the news, he passed the news to Pang De, so that Pang De led the whole army to quickly travel to Jingling City.

Generally, the generals who defend the city generally have one step and one halberd on the city wall, plus three helpers. Five steps have five lengths, ten steps have a long time, a hundred steps have a hundred lengths, and there is a general on each side of the city to guard, and in the center of the city there is a general to command. But Jingling is different, the people on the wall of Jingling are sparsely standing, Zhuge Liang now seems to be deliberately saying to Liu Ye under the city, you see that there are very few defenders in my city, you come to attack! However, Zhuge Liang did a good job, which made Liu Ye frown, and within thirty miles outside the city, all the firewood, grass and trees were cut down by Zhuge Liang and transported into the city, which made Liu Ye's army have to bring fire and cook from afar, and a large amount of wood must be transported to confuse the number of people.

After Liu Ye led 3,000 soldiers under Zhang He, there were only 1,000 soldiers under his command, even if the defenders of Jingling City were only 200 people, how could he attack this fortified city with his 1,000 people! Now Pang De's attack in Yundu was frustrated, and he led the cavalry regiment to Jingling to assist Liu Ye.

"At the beginning, you showed me that there are very many people in the city, and now you show me that there are very few defenders in the city, and Senior Brother Zhuge has good means, and now I have completely seen through your plan, the number of guards in the city is less than two thousand, so no matter what I do, you will not go out of the city to fight!" Liu Ye sat alone in the tent and muttered to himself.

"So! I'll just ......"

"General, General Pound has arrived!" Zhang Heng entered the camp tent and said to Liu Ye.

Liu Ye got up and went out of the camp to greet Pang De with Zhang Heng, Liu Ye first asked Pang De to enter the account, and then asked Pang De again about the situation in the direction of Yundu City.

Pang De answered Liu Ye's questions one by one, and also told about the fierce battle between Guan Ping and Wenpin City.

"Didn't you meet Zhao Yun?"

"Nope."

Liu Ye took a deep breath and said: "General Pang De, next, I would like to ask you to divide the five thousand cavalry into five divisions, each with 1,000 men and horses, one is stationed in the north of Jingling City, to prevent the enemy army in the direction of Yundu City from coming to Jingling City for reinforcements, one is stationed in the east of the city, and the other is stationed in the west of the city, leaving the army in the south of the city alone, and then the remaining two troops, led by you and Zhang Heng, will each lead one to spare Jingling City and go deep behind the enemy." ”

"What if you lead your army behind enemy lines, and if the enemy cuts off your way of retreat?" Pound asked.

Liu Ye licked his lower lip and said: "General rest assured, I expect that Zhuge Liang's garrison will be at most 2,000 people, and he will not dare to send troops, you and Zhang Heng will make a detour to the east of Jingling City, and collect all the grain and grass along the road, but remember that you can't kill people in the process, and all the collected grain will be burned until the vicinity of Yunmengze, and all will be cleaned up." ”

"What does the general mean that in addition to not killing people, all the houses will be demolished, and all the grain, cattle and sheep will be burned, and he will not take them away?" Pound asked.

"But remember one thing, don't kill people, don't let the soldiers rob the people's daughters, clean up all these villages. I want to make this Jiangxia dwelling have no shelter and no half a meter. ”

"What's in it for that? If you don't bring back the food, it's not good for the reputation of our army. Pound said.

"On the surface, it looks bad, but it can actually have a big effect." Liu Ye said.

"What effect, these residents will enter Jingling City, and Zhuge Liang will have to give them grain and grass for them to eat?"

Liu Ye shook his head and said: "That's not the case, our purpose is to collect the people of Jiangxia, so we have to burn their houses and burn their grain, so that they have nowhere to live, and there is no food to use, so we will enter Nanjun." ”

"But by doing this, we will lose the hearts of the people in Jiangxia and lose our reputation, is it really appropriate to do this?" Pound asked with a frown.

Liu Ye saw Pang De mentioning the people's heart and reputation many times, he couldn't help but take a long breath, licked his lower lip and said: "What we want is the people, not the people's heart. We just have to snatch people over, and I'll find a way to win their hearts. All you have to do is tell the people in the process of burning and looting that Nanjun has arranged a place for them to live in, prepared fertile land, and is exempt from taxes for five years. Can! ”

"In this way, it seems that we are not robbing them, but as if we are saving them." Zhang Heng said with a smile.

"It's not too bad for people to see that we burn a lot of their food and don't take it away!" Pound said.

"Actually! What's more, our religious forces have been secretly involved in the land of Jingxiang, Jiangxia is of course no exception, in the process of burning and looting, Taoist believers will spread everywhere, confusing the people's hearts, and there will be a large number of displaced people pouring into Nanjun, and the people's hearts are the easiest to use. ”

robbed the people, and deceived the people, this seems to be very undisciplined, very offline! But this is the way to win, and Liu Ye will not go.

"Since we robbed the people, we still have to deceive the people, we might as well disguise ourselves as Liu Bei's soldiers to rob the people." Pang De is a smart man, since it is better to rob than to disguise himself as an enemy to rob, and after robbing, let the Taoist believers preach the good of Ma Hong's rule of Xia Nanjun, then the people will definitely flock to it.

Liu Ye smiled and said: "Liu Bei is rich in the name of benevolence and righteousness, and he has already sent people to collect the grain and grass of the people, can he use the grain and grass in his territory to rob it?" Can the houses in the territory be burned? Let's do what I do! Otherwise, it is easy to be exploited by Zhuge Liang. ”

Pound thought about it carefully and nodded, and went out of the camp to count the soldiers and horses. (To be continued.) )
