In the city of Xudu, almost every family in the city wears linen and filial piety, and the people of Pang Shan personally lead the army to a few miles outside the city of Xudu, and they can still hear the sad cry in the city.

After the people of Pang Shan entered the city, they smelled the bloody breath in the air that had not yet dissipated, and looked at the numb and angry faces of the people of Xudu, and their eyes were about to split.

If it weren't for Jia Xu's kindness in his heart, he left a way to live for the people of Xudu, and the reason why many people still survived was because Cao's army captured the city, and there were not many military horses left, and it was not enough to slaughter the people in the city.

Even so, the people in the city have also suffered such a great change, and Jia Xu's iron heart makes it difficult for Pang Shanmin to suppress the anger in his heart.

At the same time, Pang Shanmin was also secretly glad in his heart, fortunately, Jingxiang's military horses responded in time and sent troops early, if it was a little later, Xu Du was afraid that there would be no more living people, with Jia Xu ruthless, after killing, it was indispensable to burn the city, and stimulate Jingxiang again, forcing Pang Tong and Zhou Yu in the Tiger Prison Pass to go out of the pass, if this is the case, even if Pang Shanmin kills Jia Xu, he will not be able to make up for the huge damage caused to Xu Du.

Taking over the city defense, Pang Shanmin led the army all the way to the palace, along the way many people learned that Tang Hou had arrived in Xudu, and wanted to take revenge on the people The news that the city was still young and strong, and they all wanted to join the army.

In the past, the people who could only plow, and the guys who could only run shops, also chose to take up arms and take revenge in person because of the blood and hatred of the tragic death of their families.

"Jia Wenhe, what kind of sin are you making......"

Pang Shanmin muttered in his mouth, although so. Jingxiang's army is innumerable, but he has no happiness in his heart.

Pang Shanmin didn't want these surviving people to get involved in the war again, Jia Xu's actions had caused them incurable pain, but with such hatred in the army, these people would not obey the military order, and would only be bent on revenge.

After only resting in the city for one day, Pang Shanmin left 5,000 troops and horses to acropolize the city and lead the army away from Xudu. Towards the Tiger Prison.

Even so. When they left the city, there were still thousands of young people in the city with them, and although the people of Pang Shanmin prevented them from joining the army, in the eyes of the people. You can't be a soldier. can always be a people's husband to help Jingxiang's army and horses attack Chenliu. Even if he accompanied the army to Chen Liucheng to carry a load of grain and tired a bag of soil, it could be regarded as helping the family members who died tragically to avenge it with their own hands.

These people can no longer be evicted. I had to order all the units in the army to slow down the march and give them military food, so that they could see Chen Liucheng broken and Jia Xu destroyed.

The army arrived at the Tiger Prison, Pang Tong in the pass, and Zhou Yu and Zhou Yu went out to greet each other.

Seeing Pang Shanmin, Zhou Yu knelt on the ground, and kowtowed again and again: "Zhou has the trust of the mountain people, Xu Du is the place where Zhou defended, but Jia Xu attacked the city, and I hope that the mountain people will punish Zhou, and give the people in the city an explanation......"

Xu Ducheng is broken, can you complain about Zhou Yu?

Pang Shanmin sighed, helped Zhou Yu up and said: "Why did Gong Jin say this, when Jing Xiang was in Jingxiang, Pang Mou allowed Gong Jin to use troops arbitrarily, and Gong Jin could not bear such a criminal responsibility. ”

After that, Pang Shanmin ordered Pang Tong to settle the people of Xudu who came with him and lead the army into the customs.

In the Tiger Prison Pass, Pang Shanmin summoned the generals to discuss the matter, and now the Tiger Prison soldiers and horses have the strength to fight to the death with the Cao army, but Chen Liuchengjian wants to break the city, it is not easy.

Although Pang Shanmin hated Jia Xu deeply, he did not dare to despise this person's skills, and Pang Shanmin had learned from Pang Tong's side that if Jing Xiang sent troops a little later, Pang Tong might not be able to suppress the resentment in his heart, and he would fight to the death with Cao Jun.

In this way, wouldn't Jia Xu's wish be fulfilled?

In the palace, Zhang Fei looked angry and said to Pang Shanmin: "What Jia Xu did, the heavens are angry and people are resentful, this time to attack Chen Liu, the mountain people should make me Lao Zhang the vanguard of this army!" ”

"If Ma is the vanguard of the army, he will break Chen Liu, and throw Jia Xu at the foot of the main rank!" Ma Chao said, confronted Zhang Fei, and did not give in to the belonging of this pioneer.

However, those who want to be the vanguard of this army, He Zhi Ma Chao, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Wen Ping and others are all invited to fight, and even Shamoke, a barbarian general, was deeply angered by Jia Xu's evil deeds.

Seeing that all the generals were filled with righteous indignation, Pang Shanmin shook his head again and again, and said to the generals: "Don't be blinded by the anger in your heart, although Jia Xu deserves to die, but it is not easy to break Chen Liu, I must know that my army is coming, Cao Cao has already responded, Chen Liucheng is strong, and there are many soldiers and horses in the city, Pang wants to make that Jia Xu Lingchi's wish is the same as you, but the army is the most impulsive. ”

Pang Shanmin said, Pang Tong nodded in agreement, and said to the generals: "What my brother said is extremely true, in the past few days, Chen Liu's troops have shrunk, and even the tiger and leopard riders who were invincible before have escaped into the city, if our army storms the city, even if it can win, it will be a tragic victory!" ”

"If Cao Cao can be destroyed, the victory is worth it!" Zhang Fei said, Pang Tong cried and laughed: "Yide trusts Pang, but if the army is defeated, how can he take Jia Xu's life again and avenge the tragic death of the people in Xu Du?" ”

When Zhang Fei heard this, he didn't know how to refute it, but Ma Chao thought for a moment and said to Pang Tong: "Now the soldiers and horses in the customs can't hold back, if you hesitate again, the military advisor is not afraid of the cold hearts of the soldiers?" ”

"Meng Qi has not heard what his brother said, and now he is attacking Chen Liu, is he the most impulsive?" When Pang Tong heard this, he smiled bitterly and said to Ma Chao: "If Chen Liuyi is broken, Pang Mou would have used troops a long time ago, why bother waiting for my brother's army to come?" Jia Xu is ruthless, Guo Jia is cunning, and even Cao Cao is a deceitful person, if we put ourselves in it, how can we take revenge? ”

After Pang Tong said that, Pang Shanmin saw that Ma Chao still had a look of injustice on his face, got up and sighed: "You can be patient for the time being, and allow Pang to discuss with Shi Yuan and Gong Jin." ”

Pang Shanmin said, the generals didn't say much, left the palace, there were only three people left in the hall, Pang Shanmin and the two looked at each other, and said solemnly: "Pang came all the way, walked in a hurry, only brought military horses, but did not bring a strategy, how to break this old stay, but also two foils." ”

Zhou Yu nodded when he heard this, and said to Pang Shanmin: "Zhou has already thought about it before, Jia Xu slaughtered the city, and led to the resentment of the people, if my army conquers Chen Liu, the people's will can be used...... There are still tens of thousands of people left in the city of Xudu. Can be a people's husband, then outside the city to bear the earth and stones, but a few days can build a mountain of earth, so that we can be here to take advantage of the location, in addition to watching Chen Liu's defense, but also arrow the soldiers and horses in the city. ”

Pang Shanmin nodded slightly when he heard this, but before coming to the tiger prison, Pang Shanmin stopped the idea of Xu Du people accompanying him, in Pang Shanmin's opinion. Xu Du can't afford to toss in the slightest now. If you want to restore the population of Xudu, I am afraid that it will take ten years to say the least, and since this is the case, it is even more impossible for Pang Shanmin. Take advantage of the hatred of the people of Xudu. Treat it as a people's husband. Help Jingxiang's army and horses attack Chenliu.

Pang Shanmin said that he was worried in his heart, and Zhou Yu also understood Pang Shanmin's thoughts in his heart, and said to Pang Shanmin: "It's that Zhou is not thoughtful. ”

Pang Shanmin heard this. Shook his head.

Zhou Yu's plan is not bad, the two armies should have used all the resources that can be used in the big war, and the hatred of the people is also one of many resources, but Pang Shanmin has prevented the people of Xu Du from following the army before, and Pang Shanmin is unwilling to do it.

Pang Tong pondered for a moment, and said to Pang Shanmin: "Jia Xu, Guo Jia is a wise and scheming person, I am afraid that ordinary strategies are difficult to work, since the elder brother has brought a large army, it is better to be dignified under Chen Liucheng and invite Cao Cao to fight, on the battlefield, the elder brother only said about revenge, and told Cao Cao that if he presented Jia Xu, what if he was not to blame in the past?" ”

When Pang Shanmin heard this, he was surprised and said, "How could Cao Cao do such a thing of digging his own grave?" And what Jia Xu does, Cao Cao must be, if my army acts like this, I am afraid that it will return in vain. ”

"It's just to show his attitude to that Cao Cao, then a fight, if our army wins, even if Cao Cao still trusts Jia Xu, but the rest of the generals in the city will be resentful of him, although the elder brother is an enemy of Cao's army, but among this enemy, there are also many upright people......"

As soon as Pang Tong's words came out, Pang Shanmin understood Pang Tong's thoughts, nodded slightly, and looked at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu saw Pang Shanmin's gaze, nodded and smiled: "Shiyuan's strategy is not bad, and the mountain people can also try it, but Cao Cao has been in charge of the army for a long time, but Zhou is worried that with his prestige, it is enough to suppress any voice against Jia Xu in Chen Liucheng." ”

"Just make it suspicious." Pang Tong heard Zhou Yu's words and said: "After it has a flaw, we will gradually magnify this flaw!" ”

The three of them made a plan, which was convenient for the troops in the pass, and they were all excited when they learned that Pang Shanmin wanted to send troops to Chen Liu, and the generals and colonels in the city were all excited.

At dawn the next day, 80,000 soldiers and horses poured out of the Tiger Prison Pass, and the army was mighty and went to Chenliu.

Cao Cao learned that the people of Pang Shan came with a large army, and he was busy ordering the military horses in the city to be on strict guard, and one day later, the Jingxiang army and horses had been placed in a position under Chen Liucheng, Cao Cao and a group of generals and colonels, watching it in the city, saw that the Jingxiang army and horses were in strict formation, and the murderous spirit was soaring, even if it was expected that the army of the people of Pang Shan would come to attack, Cao Cao was still shocked when he saw its formation.

"I haven't seen Pang Shanmin for several years, and the Jingxiang military horse is as majestic!" Cao Cao gasped and muttered.

Guo Jia saw Cao Cao's gaffe, coughed lightly, Cao Cao came back to his senses, his face was slightly red, and he said to the generals: "Cao's gaffe has made you see the joke." ”

When the generals heard this, they only laughed dryly.

Even though Cao Jiang has experienced a hundred battles, he rarely sees such a tricky opponent, and the strict Jingxiang army formation under the city not only makes Cao Cao lose his temper, but even the generals are terrified inexplicably.

The people in the city were stunned for a moment, and then they saw that in the army formation under the city, a flying horse came out, it was Huang Zhong.

Hundreds of steps in front of the city, Huang Zhong bent his bow and arrows, and shot an arrow at the head of the city, Cao Jun knew that this Jingxiang veteran was a powerful arrow, and was busy waiting for Cao Cao, but Huang Zhong's arrows came, but they did not shoot at Cao Cao, only the pillar at the head of the city.

The tail of the arrow trembled, Huang Zhong put away his longbow, immediately crossed his sword, and shouted to the city: "My lord asked Prime Minister Cao Cheng to read the letter, and then talk to the city!" ”

Xiahoudun removed the arrow, handed the letter to Cao Cao, and after Cao Cao read the letter, he handed the letterhead to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia only glanced at it, then sneered and said: "It's a good idea, hand over Wenhe, and you won't blame the past, could it be that the mountain people are so naïve now?" ”

Guo Jia said, Jia Xu didn't look at the letterhead, and he also knew what the letter said, he was shocked, and he knelt down on the ground and said: "If Jia can block Jing Xiang's sword soldiers, the prime minister can hand over Jia to Jing Xiang!" ”

"Don't say much." When Guo Jia heard this, he shook his head again and again and said: "It's just an excuse for Jing Xiang, and I am not a subordinate of Jing Xiang, so why do I need to listen to his orders?" Besides, this letter is just that Jing Xiangqian donkey skills are poor, and he wants to destroy Wen and his prestige in our army! ”

Jia Xu still knelt on the ground, but Cao Cao smiled and said, "Wen He, please get up quickly." Mo Feiwen and when Cao is mediocre? This is painful for loved ones. The enemy is fast, Cao doesn't do it, Wen He can rest assured, Chen stays in defense, Cao still needs Wen He to help! ”

Jia Xu felt a little relieved when he heard this, but he secretly scolded Jing Xiang for being despicable, fortunately, only Cao Cao and Guo Jia had read this letterhead, if the rest of the generals knew what the letter said, I am afraid that there will be many people in the city, and they are willing to make Jia Xu take the blame for the matter of Xu Du.

"Please also Prime Minister. Let's go down to town! ”

Under the city, Huang Zhong roared again. Interrupting Cao Cao's thoughts, Cao Cao looked at the enemy formation outside the city, Pang Shanmin had already led Ma Chao and Zhang Fei. Walk slowly to a few hundred meters in front of the city.

"Cao must not weaken the prestige of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty!" Cao Cao said. He wanted to go down to the city. Seeing this, Guo Jia hurriedly persuaded: "Prime Minister, we can just stick to the city, what do you care about Jing Xiang?" ”

Cao expected that Pang Shanmin would not break the rules of the battlefield. He invited the city, how dare he harm Cao's life? Before, outside Runan City, Cao was still drinking with him...... Cao Cao said, but Guo Jia shook his head again and again, and said to Cao Cao: "If Wenhe did not slaughter Xu Du, Jing Xiang's behavior can still be predicted, but today, Guo does not know how to act when the Pang Shanmin came in anger this time......

Guo Jia said that, Cao Cao suddenly woke up, but after thinking for a moment, he said: "If he doesn't invite Cao Mou, won't it weaken the limelight of my army!" Cao has made up his mind, don't persuade him again, and when he goes out of the city, Cao brings more followers to ensure that Cao is not lost. ”

Cao Cao said, Xu Chu and the Xiahou brothers followed closely, Guo Jia saw that it was difficult to dissuade, and said to Cao Cao: "Guo Mou will go with him." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he glanced at Guo Jia deeply, nodded, and said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao still has some old feelings with the people of that Pang Mountain, presumably he will not do this thing forever!" ”

After a short time, Cao Cao led the generals out of the city, marched in front of the two armies, and looked at Pang Shanmin from afar.

Pang Shanmin was about to open his mouth to question Cao Cao, but he heard Guo Jia's voice come early.

"Mountain people, we are all afraid that the old general's secret arrows will hurt people, and I ask the mountain people to recall him." Guo Jia said that, Pang Shanmin snorted coldly, ordered Huang Zhong to return to the main formation, took a few steps forward, and said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao is more and more bold. ”

Guo Jia smiled when he heard this: "It is normal for people to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and Guo does not think that the mountain people will have good intentions when they invite the prime minister this time." ”

Seeing Guo Jia talking eloquently, Pang Shanmin glanced at Guo Jia and said: "Today is not the time to reminisce about the past, Fengxiao does not need to say much, Guo is here, I just want to ask the prime minister, can the prime minister give Pang an explanation for the matter of Xu Du!" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he was slightly angry in his heart, and said to Pang Shanmin: "Xu Du is a certain land of Cao, and Cao Mou has crossed the river with a large army this time, just to recover the lost land, Tang Hou's words, is it too rude!" What Cao did, why did he have to explain to Tang Hou? ”

"That means that the slaughter of the city was instructed by the prime minister?" Pang Shanmin said, Cao Cao couldn't help but speak, and secretly said that this matter must not be admitted, but Cao Cao was embarrassed in his heart, if the slaughter of the city by Xu Du was said to be Jia Xu's strategy, wouldn't it be in the hands of Pang Shanmin?

Just as he was hesitating, Cao Cao listened to Guo Jia relieve the siege and said: "Mountain people, the matter of Xu Du is a foregone conclusion, what are you talking about it?" If the mountain people want revenge, attack the city! ”

When Pang Shanmin heard Guo Jia's words, he looked up at Guo Jia, the smile on his face was gone, and he said to Guo Jia in a cold voice: "Fengxiao, you should know which is right and which is not, Pang and Cao Cao are competing in the Central Plains, you and I are also enemies of each other, but we must always know right and wrong in our hearts, Pang Mou respects your talent, but you can't tolerate no bottom line!" Jia Wen and Tucheng Xu Du, the sky is angry and people are resentful, Pang Mou came from afar, just to ask the prime minister for an explanation, isn't this right? ”

Pang Shanmin's words made Guo Jia speechless.

Jing Xiang sent troops on a large scale this time, and he did stand on the highest point of morality, Jia Xu's slaughter of the city of Xu Du was indeed too ruthless and was not tolerated by the people of the world, but Jia Xu's original intention was only to lure the tiger prison army and horses out of the customs battle, but it was conceived for Cao Cao......

Guo Jia only thought for a moment, then sighed and said: "Wenhe also has hardships, you and I are both clear-eyed people, could it be that the mountain people don't know, if Gongjin and Shi Yuanken are upright and upright, and fight with the prime minister, such a tragedy will not happen?" ”

When Pang Shanmin heard this, he glanced at Guo Jia in surprise, and said with a smile angrily: "The two armies are fighting, each with his own ability!" The prime minister has no ability to break through the tiger prison, but he threatens the lives of the people of Xudu, this matter is still reasonable in Fengxiao's mouth? Fengxiao, I haven't seen you for several years, why are you getting thicker and thicker? Can you even talk nonsense with your eyes open? ”

Hearing Pang Shanmin's repeated sarcasm, Guo Jia didn't say a word, and said to Pang Shanmin: "The mountain people also said that the two armies compete for each other by their own ability, Chen Liu is in front of him, if the mountain people have the ability, they will attack the city!" ”

Pang Shanmin didn't say much to Guo Jia when he heard this, and looked at Cao Cao and said: "What Feng Xiao said is also the meaning of the prime minister?" ”

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, and said to Pang Shanmin: "Feng Xiao is the mastermind of Cao's army, so he can naturally decide military affairs on behalf of Cao!" ”

Pang Shanmin sighed when he heard this, and said to Cao Cao: "If the prime minister hands over Jia Xu, Pang will lead the army back, and this kind of transaction is also extremely cost-effective for the prime minister!" I also hope that the prime minister will think deeply, don't be aggressive anymore, otherwise someone Pang can't bear you, and the world can't tolerate you! ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he was silent for a long time, and Guo Jia hurriedly whispered to Cao Cao when he saw this: "Prime Minister, don't fall for his tricks!" ”

Cao Cao suddenly woke up, looked at Pang Shanmin, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and shouted coldly: "Cao Mou's mind has been decided, even if Tang Hou is only for someone important this time, Cao Mou must also inform Tang Hou that Wen He is a person under Cao's command, and only Cao Mou can punish him!" Even if Tang Hou is clever and tongue-in-cheek, Cao Mou also guarantees Wenhe! (To be continued......)
