Chapter 17: Unexpected Reinforcements

In the dark night, a baggage team was rushing overnight, led by Han Meng. This road of grain and grass has just been transferred from the Wuchao grain and grass battalion and is ready to be transported to the front-line position. Han Meng knew that grain and grass were a big deal, and Tian Feng and Fu Zhu had entrusted him before, so he didn't dare to be careless in escorting grain and grass, and he did it himself as long as he was free.

"General, the enemy attack on the left!" Han Meng was on guard when a scout on the left hurried over. "The whole army pauses, line up to meet the enemy!" Han Meng is also a battle-hardened general, and while preparing to meet the enemy, he asked people to go to the Guandu camp to report the news, trying to drag this group of enemy troops by himself, and then swallow them up.

"Who's coming?" Han Meng gradually saw clearly that there were indeed a large number of people slowly approaching with torches in the dark night on the left, and one of them was holding a big axe in his hand. "Hedong Xu Huang, the thief will die!" Xu Huang didn't talk either, and directly slapped Han Meng in front of him. Han Meng was furious, and stepped forward to resist him with a big sword in his hand.

"Huh!" Seeing that Han Meng and himself fought for dozens of rounds without a win, Xu Huang was also a little surprised. I thought that the person who was escorting the grain and grass was just an ordinary lieutenant who could easily handle it, but I didn't expect it to be stuck here now. Fortunately, he had been prepared, and just as Han Meng was fighting hard, suddenly another group of men and horses came out from the right rear. The gang did not step forward to engage in the battle, and threw the torches in their hands directly at the baggage cart from a distance. Since most of the sergeants' attention was focused on the duel on the left, they were caught off guard this time, and the baggage cart suddenly burned.

"Collect the troops!" Xu Huang saw that the fire was burning, and after completing the task, he wanted to take the opportunity to escape. When Han Meng saw that he was burning, he was immediately anxious, and he didn't care about fighting Xu Huang again, so he hurriedly put out the fire. By the time a group of people were busy, it was already dark, and Yan Liang, who happened to come to pick up, had also arrived.

"Grain and grass were burned six or seven times out of ten." After counting, Han Meng said a little dejectedly. Yan Liang couldn't say anything when he saw this, so he had to comfort him as much as possible.

"Rice bucket rice bucket!" In the Guandu camp, Yuan Shao was a little angry and said to Han Meng, who was kneeling down and pleading guilty. Although there is no shortage of food and grass at the moment, it is always good to have more, but I never expected to ask Cao Mengde to give Yin again.

"Han Meng, punish you for March!" Yuan Shao thought about it and punished Han Meng a little, after all, he was also his confidant. Han Meng promised in a low voice, but did not leave for a while.

"What else?" Yuan Shao saw that Han Meng was delayed in leaving, and asked impatiently.

"My lord, when I was just picking up grain and grass, I saw that General Han Juzi, the general of the Wuchao battalion, was seriously ill and bedridden, and I was afraid that I would have to send others to guard this important place." Han Meng hesitated slightly, but still told the truth.

"Han Juzi is sick?" Yuan Shao was also a little surprised when he heard this. looked at the generals around him, who to send to guard the black nest when the battle was in the middle of the battle. After watching it for a long time, he didn't know the point, so Yuan Shao had to wave his hand first to show that he knew, and then make plans later.

"You are Xiangyang Longguang?" Looking at the ugly and somewhat thrilling young Confucian in front of him, Zhao Feng was more sure of his identity.

"Exactly the student!" Long Guang didn't seem to care much about Zhao Feng's identity, but only bowed slightly.

"What can you do to help me sweep away Soochow?" Zhao Feng suddenly had a heart of teasing when he said this, and without waiting for Long Guang to speak, he added: "As far as I know, there is only one person in Xiangyang who can have such skills." I have sent people to ask for help, but this life is uncertain, and the dragon has not seen the beginning and the end, so he has never been able to see it. ”

"But I don't know who this person is?" Long Guang also asked curiously when he heard this, the eagerness in the corner of his eyes still couldn't escape Zhao Feng's observation.

"Mr. Feng Xiao, Pang Tong Pang Shiyuan!" Zhao Feng said with a smile, Long Guang in front of him suddenly looked extremely strange when he heard this, and he hesitated for a long time before he gave Zhao Feng a deep salute and said: "The general is really like watching the fire, please forgive Pang Tong for the crime of bullying each other, but I don't know how the general knows the identity of the general?"

"Hehe, Long Guang is a Pang character together, and Your Excellency has already shown his identity." Zhao Feng said with a smile, seeing that Pang Tong's face was still a little hesitant, and said truthfully: "Actually, I'm not particularly sure, it's just a fraud, I never expected that Your Excellency was really Pang Shiyuan." He hurriedly beckoned him to sit down.

"I don't know if Mr. Shiyuan came here this time, what can I teach Zhao?" Zhao Feng asked after he sat down, but he was so happy that he was about to bleed: I didn't expect Pang Xiaoniao to come to the door like this, Lao Tzu really exploded in character.

"The general's words are serious!" Pang Tong's expression was more serious at this time, and he sighed lightly and continued: "After bidding farewell to the teachers and friends of Lumen Mountain, Tong wants to go to Lujiang to find the general. Don't hide it from the general, Tong originally wanted to plan a plan to cross the river for the general, but he never expected that the general would get through the Yangtze River natural danger by lifting weights and light. After crossing the river, I saw that the Xuzhou army and the people had no offense, and the military discipline was strict, and it was actually a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. I also saw that the general built a dock at the mouth of the wet beard, guarding the place where the soldiers were to rush, and he was deeply skilled in using the troops, and the general was really admired and admired! Speaking of which, Pang Tong was also amazed again and again.

"Sir's words are serious!" Seeing that Pang Tong admired him so much, Zhao Feng was proud but also a little embarrassed. The previous one is just gone, and the final dock at the mouth of the wet beard is his own strategy of borrowing from Zhou Yu and Lu Meng in history. Although it can't be considered plagiarism now, it's not your own original after all.

"Now that the frost has not disappeared, the road is impassable, I don't know what the general is referring to after the beginning of spring, but it is Poyang, or Yuzhang, or Danyang?" Pang Tong asked slowly with a smile. This question made Zhao Feng's heart feel a pang, now that Zhou Yu has sent heavy troops to defend these three places, it will not be too easy for him to fight any place next. It was with this in mind that he used the winter to drum up trebuchets, thinking that it would be easier for him to attack the city.

"Naturally, it's Poyang or Yuzhang." Zhao Feng didn't intend to hide it from him, since he wanted him to be willing to work, he had to be involved in these things from the beginning. Unless Pang Tong was sent by Eastern Wu to annihilate him, sooner or later he would have to let him know, and he could show his sincerity earlier.

"Why not Danyang?" Pang Tong seemed to have expected Zhao Fengfeng to answer like this, and asked with a pair of small eyes at the moment.

"Danyang is guarded by Sun Yi and Gu Yong with an army of 30,000, and it cannot be captured in a hurry. The defenders of Poyang are only 8,000, and the defenders of Chaisang at the gateway of Yuzhang are only 8,000 defenders. Zhao Feng said with a smile.

"Hehe, although the general's plan is wonderful, it is not yet known whether Jingxiang's people can attack Zhou Yu with the general!" Pang Tong said with a smile.

"What do you mean, sir?" Zhao Feng couldn't help but feel a little strange when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.

Pang Tong sighed, and then said: "Tong has been in Jingxiang for a long time, and he knows that most of the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou have not been trained for a long time. At present, although there are wise people like Kuai Yue, but the soldiers and horses are not good, how can they defeat Zhou Lang? If Liu Pan's army and horses from the south can be transferred, they can still fight. Relying only on the Cai Mao brothers' men and horses, they will definitely be defeated. ”

"I see, Mr. thinks that the people of Jingzhou will not be able to survive the spring?" Zhao Feng felt a little unbelievable, Liu Biao didn't have such a dish no matter how much he cooked.

"Most likely, it depends on whether Liu Jingsheng will adjust." Pang Tong's tone was not optimistic.

"In that case, then our army will attack Danyang first in the spring?" Zhao Feng asked in disbelief. You must know that the Danyang city wall is dangerous, and there are 30,000 garrisons, although 10,000 of them are county soldiers, but even if they have a big killing weapon like a trebuchet, it is estimated that tens of thousands of lives will have to be filled to take it, and such a large casualty is not what Zhao Feng wants to see.

"Not bad, Danyang. As long as Danyang is taken, Sun Quan of Wu County can be directly approached, and Zhou Yu will have to return to the army to rescue at that time. Pang Tong was very sure of the authenticity, seeing that Zhao Feng was about to say something, Pang Tong smiled and added: "In fact, although Danyang is dangerous, if it is the right way, it can be done." ”

"I don't know what strategy Mr. has, can you easily take Danyang?" Zhao Feng asked in disbelief.

"The Danyang guard is Sun Quan's brother Sun Yi, this person's surname is strong, quite similar to Sun Ce. With such a surname, the confrontation is certainly good for morale, but it is inevitably used to defend the city. Pang Tong smiled.

"So easy?" Zhao Feng felt a little unbelievable when he heard this, it's not that simple, right?

Sure enough, Pang Tong still had the following: "Moreover, there are many mountains and crosses in Danyang, and the Sun family has been attacking and killing mountains since they sat in Jiangdong, and they have deep grievances. If you can get the help of Shanyue, then this matter is easy. ”

"How can I get help from the mountains?" Zhao Feng felt that Pang Tong's words were a bit mysterious, how could he contact those barbarians who lived in the mountains? And to convince them to help, how can this matter be so easy.

"The general may not be able to, but there are people in Xuzhou who can." Pang Tong replied confidently.

"Who?" Zhao Feng hurriedly asked.

"In the past, it was said that Xuzhou Thorn History, Tao Qian Tao Gongzu!" Pang Tong replied. Seeing Zhao Feng's face in disbelief, he hurriedly continued to explain: "Tao Gongzu was originally from Danyang, and his filial piety and honesty came out of Danyang. He is an honest official, and he has a lot of kindness and people, even if he is a mountain, he also worships his people. ”

"Having said that, it has been six years since Tao Gong passed away, is it possible that Shiyuan still expects him to manifest his spirit?" Zhao Feng frowned when he heard this, but he thought of those Danyang elite soldiers in his heart, and it was estimated that they would be the Shanyue Army. was able to incorporate Shanyue into the army, and it seems that Tao Qian has a really good relationship with them.

"Although Tao Gongzu is dead, his son is still alive. If you can ask him to come forward to contact, then the matter of pacifying Shanyue is easy! Pang Tong smiled.

Zhao Feng was also silent for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "This matter is not up to me, so I should write to inform the lord and ask Tao Gongzi to come to help." After saying that, he ordered someone to write a letter to Liu Bei urgently, but he was full of emotion in his heart: I didn't expect that Tao Qian had been dead for so many years, and he could still help himself so much, and it was not in vain that he rescued Xuzhou in the first place.
