Chapter Fifty-Six: Their Demons
"Shiyuan, why didn't you say a word?" In the advancing army, Pang Tongyi was silently moving forward on his horse unusually. Unable to hear his duck's loud words, Zhao Feng was a little uncomfortable for a while.
"General Zhao." Pang Tong looked up and saw that it was Zhao Feng, and he also sighed and said: "The previous statistical miscalculation not only broke many military horses, but also caused the general's undefeated name to come to naught, and it was really difficult for the general to feel uneasy. After this battle, we should ask the lord for punishment to thank everyone! β
"Shi Yuan, what are you?" Zhao Feng looked at Pang Tong, who was a little depressed in front of him, and it was difficult to connect him with the radiant Pang Xiaoniao in the past for a while, and he couldn't help but think of an evaluation of Pang Tong.
There are some contradictory factors in Pang Tong's surname, he is hearty and uninhibited, and people who don't know him will even think he is arrogant. But underneath the uninhibited appearance, he has a sensitive inferiority complex buried deep in his heart (perhaps related to his appearance), which makes him always seem competitive. In the case of smooth sailing, he will naturally not show this sensitive inferiority, but once he encounters a setback and the psychological defense line he has worked hard to build is broken, he may fall into extreme emotions and cannot extricate himself. In the original historical trajectory, Pang Tong's eagerness for quick success and quick profit when he entered Sichuan inevitably did not play a role in this aspect.
Now Pang Tong has been seen through by Sun Quan (actually LΓΌ Meng) in his strategy, so that he will inevitably be depressed. If he is allowed to develop like this, I am afraid that this matter will become his demon in the future. At this time, someone needs to be careful to enlighten him. If he overcomes, he will be able to shake off the young feathers, like a real phoenix of the nine heavens soaring in the sky; If you can't overcome it, the young phoenix may also fall. In view of this, Zhao Feng could not stand idly by.
"Shiyuan, there is no battle to win. There is no such thing as a solution. The situation on the battlefield is changing, and it is impossible for one person to be in charge. Although Shi Yuan is a genius, he will not be an exception. Although the battle failed to achieve the pre-planned plan, the army was only slightly damaged, and it was not a defeat. It is a matter of urgency. It is a plot on how to take Xindu and other counties as soon as possible. Shi Yuan, you are not only my brainchild. It is also the brain tank of the conquest army. The strong enemy is in front, the think tank is chaotic first, how can this battle be fought? Zhao Feng said slowly, but he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, he actually wanted to give psychological counseling to these smart people.
"But where is the lord?" Pang Tong was a little talkative and stopped.
"At the moment, the three generals are not here, and I am in charge of all the affairs of the army. My lord, I'll make it clear! Shi Yuan, this battle seems to have become a demonic obstacle in your heart, so that you are addicted to it and it is difficult to extricate yourself. With your surname, how can this be? In the past, Gaozu was repeatedly defeated by Xiang Yu, until the next battle was decided. Life has been long for decades, how can you be obedient and never give up? All we can do is try to maximize our odds of winning, or learn from our failures. How can you be self-effacing because of a momentary defeat? Zhao Feng said patiently.
"General?" Pang Tong looked at Zhao Feng, who was talking eloquently, his lips twitched for a long time, but he laughed and said: "If it is really as Kong Ming said, the general does not say anything, and his words are often deafening and thought-provoking, Pang Tong has been taught!" β
"That's it!" Zhao Feng saw that Pang Tong seemed to be relieved, and nodded secretly.
"But I don't know what strategy the general has to deal with Sun Yi?" Pang Tong asked suddenly. As soon as this question was asked, Zhao Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, this means that Pang Tong has gotten rid of his demons and has begun to concentrate on facing the next battle.
"There are just some ideas, and we need to see how they are implemented. If it doesn't work, Sun Yi can only taste the power of the incendiary bomb. Zhao Feng said more conservatively as always, after all, there is no absolute certainty of such a thing as a war.
"I want to hear about it." Pang Tong has some habits of asking questions, and he is also curious at the moment.
"Shi Yuan must have forgotten, I am Sun Yi's brother-killing enemy!" Zhao Feng smiled slightly and said to Pang Tong, a smart person is a smart person, Pang Tongyi suddenly understood when he heard it. With Sun Yi's thunderbolt-like surname, in the face of a brother and enemy, the possibility of being able to endure the surname and stick to the city is almost zero. Even if he could endure it for a while, Zhao Feng had a way to provoke him to fight.
"Bo Tao, someone came to rob the grain and grass at the right time, and he was also a cavalryman, and he was repelled by me and the wind and cloud cavalry. Our army suffered more than 10 casualties, and 87 were left behind by the enemy. At this time, Zhao Yun suddenly hurried forward.
"Sun Yi'er, how many broken horses have you gotten and are you really arrogant?" Zhao Feng pursed his lips when he heard this, and said with a disdainful expression, Pang Tong and Zhao Yun also looked at each other when they heard this. With the Fengyun Cavalry, Sun Yi's good words are definitely over.
Not to mention Zhao Feng's Pang Tong army swung in, at this time in the city of Wu County, Sun Quan heard that Zhao Feng led the army to retreat, and at the same time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he had new worries. "Ladies and gentlemen, Zhao Botao is marching westward, I'm afraid I'm going to have a hard time with Uncle Bi, do you have a good plan?" Sun Quan asked with some concern.
"My lord, we have become a corner. At present, Zhao Feng is attacking the new capital, and we should wait for his military strength to be scarce, and lead the army to raid his rear army, which will definitely be decided in a battle. After a little silence, it was Lu Meng who was the first to admonish. Sun Quan nodded when he heard this, and at the moment, he also sent many scouts to explore the news of the new capital. At this moment, Sun Kuang of Luling also sent a carrier pigeon, telling him that Ji Ling led the army from Guiyang to attack Luling in a hurry, and he relied on Ganshui to defend, but it was a little difficult.
"Liu Xuande, this is full of energy." Sun Quan sighed. This is also a helpless thing, now Cao Ying has led the army into the territory of the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu Dadan Yu Dun allied forces, attacking the Xianbei King Kebineng, who has been restless in recent years. Liu Bei did not have the coercion from the north, so he could naturally free up his hands to concentrate on dealing with Sun Quan. If Sun Quan can't carry it alone, then there is only one way to die.
"What, didn't you get any food and grass?" In the city of Shixin County, Sun Yi looked at the two generals who were returning in embarrassment in front of him, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little gloomy.
"Yes, General. Zhao Botao sent cavalry to escort the baggage, but we could not win the battle with it, so we were defeated. One of them replied with a bowed head. He didn't look up, so naturally he couldn't see Sun Yi's eyes getting worse and worse.
"People have cavalry, don't you have cavalry? I can't even rob you of grain and grass, so what do I want you to do? Left and right, push me down and cut it! Sun Yi suddenly roared, and everyone in the hall was shocked, and hurriedly pleaded together, so that Sun Yi agreed to avoid the death penalty and change it to fifty military sticks. But how could the fifty military sticks be so easy to take down, and this beating really cost half a life.
"Report to the general, Zhao Botao led the army slowly towards Xindu County, which is only a hundred miles away!" At this time, a scout sent out by Sun Yi before replied. Sun Yi nodded with a gloomy face, but he still muttered in his mouth: "Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng!" β
Sun Yi's hatred for Zhao Feng is really beyond ancient and modern.
It was Zhao Feng, Shouchun killed his eldest brother Sun Ce in a battle, and the little overlord of Jiangdong died; It was still Zhao Feng, who tricked him into acting rashly in Danyang, but he set up an ambush and captured him, and used this to lure open the gate of Danyang, so as to easily take Danyang; It was also Zhao Feng who made him a captive "waste utilization", a discordant plan, which easily dealt with Zhou Yu, the pillar of Eastern Wu, and caused waves within the Sun family, and the foundation of the three generations collapsed, and he became the laughing stock of the world and the sinner of the family; If Pang Tong's heart demon is the previous defeat, then Sun Yi's heart demon is Zhao Feng. Right now, the enemy he hated the most in his life, had come to Xindu County, where he was. In the face of such an opponent, Sun Yi felt that his fighting spirit was burning stronger than ever. "Pass my general order, go out of the city and line up to meet Zhao Botao!" Sun Yi viciously ordered.
The generals under his command were all shocked to see him so furious, "General, at the moment, Zhao Feng has an army of nearly 100,000, and the defenders of my new capital are only 15,000. If it's a field battle, the chances of winning are slim! Captain Bian Hong admonished.
"Yes, General. At present, the general and the lord and the four sons are fighting each other, Zhao Feng will attack the lord and the general will come to the rescue, and the general will also come to the rescue, the general only needs to hold on, and when the lord army comes, he can attack Zhao Feng together! Another lieutenant Dai also persuaded bitterly.
"It's okay, I'll only lead 5,000 cavalry to raid!" Sun Yi waved his hand and said. To say that this person is really ignorant and fearless, Sun Yi has never seen the power of large-scale cavalry before, and now he finally has thousands of cavalry, although they are all composed of Yunnan horses, which has opened Sun Yi's eyes, and sometimes he even feels that even if it is the world-famous Xiliang Iron Cavalry, it is nothing more than that. Bian Hong and the others knew that Sun Yi would not listen to persuasion, so they had no choice but to order the cavalry and go out with him.
"General, there are enemy troops in the new capital city, and the banner is Sun Yi himself, who is leading the cavalry to kill us!" When there were still more than fifty miles away from the new capital, Tanma came back to report. Zhao Feng nodded when he heard this, turned to Pang Tong and said, "Shiyuan, it seems that Sun Yi, this kid really can't sit still, and he has already come out to die." β
"Hehe, Sun Yi's surname is quite similar to Sun Ce, Sun Ce is still punished by the general, let alone Sun Yi?" Pang Tong laughed. Zhao Feng was not modest when he heard this, and directly turned his head to Zhao Yun and said: "Zilong, it's time for your Fengyun cavalry to dispatch, so that this kid who has never seen the world understands what a real cavalry is." β
"Okay!" Zhao Yun nodded, then turned his horse's head to break away from the large army, took out his horn and began to give orders to the Fengyun cavalry under his command. At the same time, the ground in front of them was dusty, and the roar of horses' hooves could be heard from far and near. Zhao Feng and the others knew in their hearts that this must be Sun Yi coming, and they also ordered a crane wing formation at the moment to prepare to meet the incoming army.
"Zhao Feng!" Sun Yi spit out the name he hated the most in the world word by word, but his eyes were locked on the figure in the opponent's formation. The fierceness of his eyes and the hideous expression made people wonder if he would eat the other party.
