Vigilant in the city for half a day, until the red sun slanted westward, in the Cao army camp opposite, except for sending a small number of soldiers to collect the corpses under the city, there was no action, Pang Shanmin and Lu Xun were inevitably strange in their hearts, could it be that the menacing Cao Cao's 100,000 military horses knew the difficulty and retreated?

Cao Cao since the day of the army, the siege of the city has always been like thunder, naturally will not suffer from this small setback, a slump, and the previous battle, the two families did not get any benefits, Pang Shanmin looked at the neat Cao camp army formation under the city from afar, and said to Lu Xun: "Cao Cao wants to fight at night?" ”

"Attacking the city at night is more difficult than daylight, presumably Cao Cao will not do this unwise act, and now Cao Cao's army is acting abnormally, it is estimated that it is Guo Jia and Jia Xu." Lu Xun thought for a long time, and said solemnly: "The matter has come to this, the military horses in my city should stand still, and respond to all changes with no change!" ”

Pang Shanmin made a decision to Lu Xun, and thought it was true, now Pang Shanmin can not count on much help, except for Jingxiang Pang Tong, it is difficult to have strong reinforcements, and Pang Shanmin does not know, now Jiangdong has no intention of taking advantage of the situation, if the two princes attack together, with the current situation in Jingxiang, it is inevitable to pay a lot of price, before turning the crisis into safety.

It's just that Pang Shanmin does not intend to cede Runan City to Cao Cao, Cao Cao has now pacified Hebei, although the people of Hebei are stabilized, and it will take Cao Cao a lot of effort to restore local production, but Cao Cao also rashly sent troops, obviously for the development of Jingxiang and Xichuan, he is afraid of it, if Cao Cao can be hit head-on at this time, Cao Cao's injury is far more painful than Jingxiang.

Thinking of this, Pang Shanmin couldn't help but smile bitterly. Pang Shanmin has always been disgusted with this kind of battle that hurts the enemy by one thousand and loses eight hundred, but Pang Shanmin is even more disgusted by the fact that this Cao Cao always seems to want to suppress him in everything, could it be that this Cao Cao thinks that if he hostages the Son of Heaven, he will inevitably be able to command the princes? In this Runan, Pang Shanmin really didn't plan to give Cao Cao the opportunity to bully him.

And now the sergeant in the city has blocked the first exchange between the two armies. The morale of the army is booming, and if Cao Cao attacks the city again, Pang Shanmin is also confident. Keep a guard.

Compared with the situation in Runan City, in the big tent of the Chinese army outside the city, Cao Cao and a group of ministers were civil and military. Much silent.

Cao Cao hadn't thought before that the first battle could determine the situation in Runan, but the difference between the previous battle and Cao Cao's previous expeditions against the princes was not small, especially after the truce, the abnormal situation in Runan City made Cao Cao's heart even more gloomy.

Cao Cao frowned, and sighed to Guo Jia: "In terms of the military strength of Runan alone, it is not strong. But Cao Mou now, but he has no bottom in his heart, I don't know if Feng Xiao can solve Cao's doubts? ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he smiled indifferently: "It's Guo, and I feel this way." It's not that the Pang Shanmin and Lu Xun use soldiers like gods, but their methods of acting are contrary to common sense, and those who fight before the army, regardless of the military division and the general. There are many rules, but the methods of the people of Pang Mountain are all imaginative......"

Hearing Guo Jia's words, Jia Xu nodded and agreed: "What Feng Xiao said is extremely true, if there is only one Lu Xun, we can besiege the city on all sides, or make a brigade of light horses, bypass Runan, and take Xinye, Jiangxia and other places, so that they are suspicious in their hearts, but this Pang Shan people are in the city, if they turn to attack other places, they will be exposed to our ideas, and if the Jingxiang Jiangnan army is in danger, they will risk death to save them, and our army is even more disadvantageous. ”

Cao Cao nodded cautiously when he heard this, and said, "If you follow what the two of you said, wouldn't it be that my 100,000 army has no good plan?" ”

"Those who plan should be well aware of the pros and cons of the two armies." When Guo Jia heard this, he smiled lightly: "Now the prime minister's army and the army and horses of Runan are all in the open, the advantage of our army lies in the number of soldiers and the number of generals, and the advantage of Runan lies in the advantage of the city. ”

Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said to Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao wants to fight generals? ”

"Fighting generals that Pang Shanmin must not be, this person has the wisdom of knowing people, when Jingxiang, he knows the name of Zhongkang, it is difficult to have a general in the Jingxiang army, the strength of the tiger marquis, and Yuan Rang, Miaocai have been famous for a long time, if they fight under the city, who dares to respond?" Guo Jia said that, he couldn't help laughing and said: "If the prime minister fights the general, it can only damage his morale, but it is difficult to do much." ”…,

"Then my army, what are the strengths!" When Cao Cao heard Guo Jia's words, his face gloomy and said: "It is difficult to win by attack, and it is not necessary to fight the enemy." ”

"It's good to damage their morale first, and show off their might." When Jia Xu heard Cao Cao's words, he couldn't help laughing and said: "When he was in Xudu, Jia paid a lot of attention to Pang Shanmin, this person acted like a prince, it is indeed not like a prince, he treats people quite sincerely, not like a male lord, if he can capture one or two of his subordinates who rashly go out of the city to fight, his heart will be chaotic." ”

"Wenhe's words are very much in line with my wishes." Cao Cao was overjoyed, looked at Guo Jia, saw Guo Jia nodding slightly, and said to the left and right: "Wait for Cao to write a war letter to him, and tomorrow I need you to have another dragon fight!" ”

Garrisoned overnight, Cao Ying was not in a situation, Lu Xun saw that the lights outside the city were dim, and he did not attack Cao Ying's army at night, and now in Lu Xun's view, it is far better to stick to the city than to act rashly, that Cao Cao's army, the military generals are not general, Lu Xun does not think that he is a one-man plan, but can block Cao Ying's scheme.

Since it is difficult to take advantage of it, it is better to see the tricks in An An'an.

When the sky was light, Lu Xun saw a Cao Ying Colonel, galloping down the city, bending his bow and arrows, shooting a book, and after Lu Xun read it, he smiled disdainfully and said: "It's a little too deceitful." ”

After reading the letter, Lu Xun ordered the soldiers to report to Pang Shanmin, Pang Shanmin was worried all night, and did not fall asleep, after seeing the letter, his brows were entangled, Pang Shanmin did not think that after Cao Cao's battle, he was poor in donkey skills, and this war, is it just to bully the small?

Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, Dong Heng and other generals of Jingxiang are not here, and Cao Ying's strong generals are all here, Zhang Ren and Wen Ping, they have some means, but how can they be the opponents of Cao Ying's heroes? Carrying the letter into his arms, Pang Shanmin boarded the city, and saw Cao Cao's army array under the city, the gate of the array was wide open, and several Cao generals rushed out of the camp, and more than ten people lined up under the city, and the sound of scolding was endless.

Pang Shanmin watched the city under the generals, except for Xu Chu and Xiahoudun who had seen before, the rest of the generals, Pang Shanmin did not know his name, a middle-aged military general in black armor stood in front of the formation, and pointed at Pang Shanmin in the city with a big knife in his hand and said: "The prime minister has a word, you are a general of Jingxiang, can you dare to fight with me?" ”

"Who are you?" Pang Shanmin frowned slightly, but when he saw the general, he smiled proudly: "Xiahou Miaocai!" ”

"It turned out to be a fast general...... Pang Shanmin nodded secretly. Xiahou Yuan is good at using cavalry, Cao's army has a surprise attack plan, and he has made this person a general, and he has made countless meritorious achievements with Cao Cao's army, and the generals of Cao Ying are headed by this person, which is also reasonable.

Seeing Pang Shanmin in the city, he was silent for a long time. Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but be annoyed, and said to Pang Shanmin: "The prime minister asked you, do you dare to fight with me!" ”

The sound is like a tiger's roar. Pang Shanmin came back to his senses, glanced blankly at Xiahou Yuan, who was showing off his martial arts under the city, and said, "If it's a fighting general, it's okay." I must let the prime minister wait for some time, and the general of our army has not yet arrived in the city......"

"Don't quibble, don't dare to dare!" After Xiahou Yuan said that, another horizontal knife immediately said to Pang Shanmin: "I will come here from afar, and ask the general to give me advice, don't shirk!" ”

"Who are you?" Pang Shanmin frowned and said, "Who of you dozen or so can call the shots?" Why is it so rude, can Pang call your name? You came to talk to Pang Mou? ”

Pang Shanmin said a word, the city soldiers laughed, and the city generals were furious. Dadao Yao pointed at Pang Shanmin and said: "I am the prime minister's cousin, Cao Zilian!" ”

Cao Hong.

This Cao Cao came to attack Runan this time, and his family brought a lot......

Pang Shanmin looked at the famous generals in Cao Ying under the city, and was slightly shocked in his heart, after a while. said to Cao Hong: "Let the rest of you retreat, and after a while, someone will teach you!" ”

When Cao Hong heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he said to Xiahou Yuan: "Miaocai, first lead you to retire temporarily." Wait for Cao to capture one person! ”

Xiahou Yuan was quite confident in Cao Hong's martial arts, and shouted to Pang Shanmin from afar: "Don't go back on your word!" ”…,

Pang Shanmin nodded slightly, and said to Zhang Ren beside him: "Are you sure to capture this person?" ”

When Zhang Ren heard this, he said solemnly: "Let's talk about it after fighting!" ”

As soon as Zhang Ren's voice fell, he heard Lu Xun persuade: "I'm afraid it's Cao Cao's strategy, General Zhang should not be careful, and he will return if he wins, even if he is defeated, he must return to the city as soon as possible, and don't entangle with him!" ”

After Lu Xun said that, Zhang Ren went to the city and approached Pang Shanmin, Lu Xun said to Pang Shanmin: "General, now I am fighting with Cao Cao, I am still in a hurry!" ”

"Pang Mou is full of confidence in General Zhang's martial arts!"

Zhang Ren is the former general of Xichuan, has been famous for a long time, Pang Shanmin thinks that if there is only one Cao Hong, it should be okay to capture this person, and the place where Cao Hong fights is behind the moat in front of the city, if there is Cao Cao's conspiracy and tricks, the military horses will be destroyed by the arrows at the head of the city, only two people fight, Pang Shanmin is not afraid.

Lu Xun saw that Pang Shanmin had made a decision, and he didn't say much, but between his eyebrows, the worry continued, Lu Xun thought that only now, shrinking in the city, waiting for work is the best policy, and this time Cao Hong is fighting, although it seems that there is no conspiracy, but in fact, Guo Jia and Jia Xu are not easy to get along.

At this point, Lu Xun had to order the shooters in the city to be on standby at all times, and once the Cao army outside the city moved, he ordered Zhang Ren to return to the city quickly.

Not long after, the city gate of Runan was wide open, Zhang Ren led more than ten soldiers, out of the city gate, saw Cao Hong in a good time, standing in front of the city, Zhang Ren said: "You were provoking my general before?" ”

"What?" When Cao Hong heard this, Lang laughed and said, "Are you not convinced?" ”

Zhang Ren didn't say much, shot to Cao Hong, Cao Hong saw Zhang Ren menacing, he had expected his martial arts to be good, and now he danced with a big knife, and Zhang Ren fought to one place, fighting more than ten times, the two did not distinguish between victory and defeat, Pang Shanmin was shocked in the city, and secretly said that this Cao Hong's martial arts, compared to what he had expected, was much more powerful, and Zhang Ren wanted to win quickly, it was a little difficult.

The more Cao Hong fought, the more frightened he became, Cao Hong had not heard of Zhang Ren's name before, before he was in Cao Ying, listening to Guo Jia's words, he thought that there was no one under Pang Shanmin's account, but now it seems that this unknown general, martial arts are not under him.

More than ten Cao generals are people with extraordinary martial arts, and they can naturally see that Cao Hong and Zhang Ren are two, Zhang Ren is slightly better, Xiahoudun saw this, his heart was eager, and he yelled at Cao Hong: "Zilian, retreat quickly!" ”

"I'm here to help you!" Xiahou Yuan is also a straightforward person, hearing Xiahou Yuan's words, has urged the war horse, galloped out, Zhang Ren and Cao Hong fought to the hearty, heard the roar behind Cao Hong, suddenly remembered Lu Xun's instructions before, hurriedly forced Cao Hong back, patted the horse and returned, at the city gate, Zhang Ren laughed a few times, and said to Xiahou Yuan: "Despicable and shameless people, with two to one, can be regarded as a fighting general!" ”

"If you lose this battle, you Jingxiang will have another person!" Xiahou Yuan was furious and yelled at Zhang Ren.

"Are you sleeping? I Jingxiang still have to listen to your prime minister's dispatch? Zhang Ren said goodbye and returned to the city. When Xiahou Yuan saw Zhang Ren fleeing, he had an idea, and couldn't help laughing: "Jing Xiang has no courage to be a bandit, and he actually escaped!" ”

"It's better than you scumbag!" Pang Shanmin didn't let go of the city, and scolded Xiahou Yuan: "If you can't beat it, call a helper, do you still want to be embarrassed?" ”

"If there's a kind, send another person!" Xiahou Yuan knew that it was difficult to take advantage of Pang Shanmin's mouth, and shouted to Pang Shanmin: "Three wins in five battles." Do you dare to respond? ”

"If you lose, will you retire from the army?" Pang Shanmin shouted when he heard this.

Xiahou Yuan heard Pang Shanmin's words and was about to respond. But I remembered that in this army, it was the prime minister who was in charge, and I thought of this. Xiahou Yuan patted his horse and replied, and said to Pang Shanmin: "You wait, I will persuade the prime minister!" ”

When Xiahou Yuan returned, Lu Xun looked worried, and said to Pang Shanmin: "If Cao Cao breaks the cauldron and sinks the boat, the general will fight with him?" ”…,

"Why fight it?" Pang Shanmin smiled slightly when he heard this: "I haven't slept all night, Pang is sleepy, and when Cao Cao's army is busy for a while, Pang will go to rest." ”

Pang Shanmin said, and everyone in the city was stunned. After a moment, everyone laughed.

When the Cao generals returned to the camp, they informed them of the previous battle of Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Cao frowned when he heard this. Cao Cao was full of confidence in the martial arts of the generals under his rule, but Cao Cao couldn't understand why Pang Shanmin hit the stone with an egg.

It's Guo Jia and Jia Xu, and after thinking about it, they don't know why. The people of Pangshan know the wisdom of people, and everyone knows it, but in this Runan county town, there are really people who can confront Admiral Cao Ying.

If it is three wins in five battles, it is that the people of Pang Mountain want to learn Tian Ji horse racing, the above and the bottom, this Cao army is a good general, and the one who can win the right talent is far more than five people.

"Fengxiao, you have been to Jingxiang several times, do you know that there are generals in his army?" Cao Cao looked cautious and said to Guo Jia.

"There are a lot of generals, Dong Heng, Gan Ning can compete with Yuan Rang and Miaocai, as well as the rumored Jingxiang veteran Huang Zhong, who also has the courage of Wanfu, but as far as Guo knows, these generals are not in Runan City." Guo Jia looked puzzled, thought for a long time, and said to Cao Cao: "If only five people are sent, no matter what, our army has a better chance of winning." ”

"Cheng is quite a duel!" After Guo Jia said that, Jia Xu frowned and said: "If you can lead Jingxiang's men and horses out of Runan City, you can find a good opportunity for the army to attack the city, even if the fighting general loses to Jingxiang, and then storm the city, ignore the previous agreement." ”

"Prime Minister rest assured, my two brothers can guarantee two big victories, and it is difficult for Jingxiang to match Zhongkang." When Xiahou Yuan heard Jia Xu's words, he couldn't help but instigate: "Just a few generals can fight for their lives, and the army can be killed and wounded, and countless reductions will be reduced. ”

"But that Pang Shanmin said that if you are defeated by us and others, you will retreat to Runan?" When Guo Jia heard Xiahou Yuan's words, he suddenly woke up.

"Unspoken." Xiahou Yuan said, and seemed to notice that when Pang Shanmin called for battle with him before, his expression was different, and after a while, he suddenly realized: "That white-faced scholar teased me?!" ”

Xiahoudun said, Cao Cao couldn't cry or laugh, and the rest of the generals also looked weird, and after a while, Guo Jia couldn't help laughing and said: "It's really unexpected, and only the mountain people can think of such a countermeasure." ”

"A wonderful guy indeed." Jia Xu sighed lightly and said to Cao Cao: "In Jia's view, this Pang Shanmin never thought of fighting with the prime minister at all, such a move is to delay time, and now it is almost noon, but my army has not moved, this kid is very calculating!" ”

"Is it child's play for two armies to fight?" Cao Cao came back to his senses and couldn't help scolding: "Few people in the world dare to tease Cao like this!" ”

"Don't be angry, Prime Minister." Guo Jia saw Cao Cao's expression of anger, and persuaded him: "The words of the appropriate talent and Wenhe have mentioned Guo Mou, the mountain people's move to garrison the city was already unexpected by us, and now it is delaying time, could it be that this Jingxiang has other calculations?" ”

"My army suddenly sent troops and approached Runan, but did you give Jing Xiang time to prepare?" Cao Cao said with a look of disbelief when he heard this.

"But Pang Shanmin is stuck in Runan, which is beyond our expectations, if Guo Mou expected, Jing Xiang will have a backhand!" Guo Jia also put away the frivolous expression on his face, and said solemnly: "Previously, Guo thought that Jing Xiang was sending someone to help Lu Xun, and this person should also be Pang Tong. ”

"Pang Tong must beware of the Jiangdong army and horses, and take advantage of the situation to attack Jingnan!" Jia Xu said, and suddenly realized: "If it is not Pang Tong, you can also stick to Jingnan, and before you only relied on that Ganning, you can block the Jingnan waterway!" ”

"Where is Pang Tong now?" Guo Jia said, everyone in the tent was speechless, Cao Cao looked at the majestic city outside the tent, and said with a shocked face: "You are saying that Pang Tong will surround Wei to save Zhao?" ”

"I'm just worried." When Guo Jia heard this, he sighed softly: "Now that my army is in Runan, I don't know the situation of the rest of the places, whether it is Zhuge Liang's troops out of Hanzhong, attacking Shangyong, or Pang Shiyuan's troops out of Wancheng, we must always be vigilant!" ”

"This half of the realm Runan shouldn't be allowed!" Jia Xu said, Guo Jia's expression couldn't help but darken, let the half of Runan, it was Guo Jia's plan, now it seems that when Pang Shanmin asked for Runan, he was in the next big game of chess, Runan is too close to Xudu after all, if Runan is not recovered, Cao Cao will always be under the threat of Jingxiang's blade unless he moves the capital.

Thinking of this, Guo Jia's expression turned slightly cold, and said to Cao Cao: "Since the mountain people want to delay time, then we should not give him this opportunity, now Cheng quite ordered a quick attack on the city, as long as he takes Runan, the previous Pang Shanmin plan will be all in vain!" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he suddenly realized, and said to the left and right: "In this case, as soon as noon is over, attack Runan again!" ”
