NO.508 Pang Tong was anxious and wanted to destroy Luoyang
The news of Cao Jun's escape soon reached Zhou Yu's ears, and the lieutenant colonel of the army received the news, and his morale was greatly boosted.
Zhou Yu for this status quo, but a little crying and laughing, although the Cao army retreated, Zhou Yu's previous calculations, all disrupted, although the Cao army lost some face, but Zhou Yu knew in his heart that the Jiangdong army came out, can only be regarded as the siege of the Lujiang River, and now attack Hefei, I am afraid it will be difficult.
Sima Yi is also very cautious.
Tai Shi Ci saw that Zhou Yu was not happy, and said to Zhou Yu: "Dudu, why don't you go straight to Hefei with all your might?" ”
"Now the morale of my army is high!" When Zhou Tai heard this, he followed closely.
When Zhou Yu heard this, he shook his head slightly, and said to the second general: "Order all the departments, retreat to Lujiang!" ”
Seeing the faces of the generals, there were many puzzles, Zhou Yu sighed: "40,000 retreats from the Cao army, plus the soldiers and horses of the Lujiang headquarters, guarding the city, it is difficult to go down for a while, we are attacking the city, and we must always prepare all the grain and equipment, do you think that Zhang Wenyuan will be stupid enough to abandon the benefits of the city, and we will not be able to fight outside the city?" ”
Zhou Yu said, all the generals looked sneered, and at that moment, Tai Shici and others rode out, returned to the army formation, restrained the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and returned to Lujiang.
After entering the Lujiang River, Zhou Yu was not in a hurry to attack Hefei, in Zhou Yu's view, if he attacked Hefei this time, he would win, I am afraid that the battle situation would also be extremely tragic, half of Jiangdong's new force has arrived in Lujiang, such as the three princes today, Jiangdong is the weakest, such a situation, Jiangdong's best choice is to fish in troubled waters.
Now under Cao Cao's rule, Wancheng has been newly defeated. Yingchuan lost again, the battle situation in the northwest. has been firmly controlled by Jing Xiang, that Zhuge Kongming only broke a Wan City, captured a Xu Huang, presumably far from satisfying his appetite, and Pang Tong and Ma Chaotun soldiers Chang'an, the soldiers pointed to the hinterland of Luoyang, this Wolong and Phoenix Chicks, this time they definitely want to gather together. In this way, it must be difficult to protect the land in the northwest with the current strength of Cao's army.
Zhou Yu thought that if the Central Plains added another defeat, it would be the best time for Jiangdong to use troops, and the news of successive defeats would naturally hit Hefei well. The morale of the Cao soldiers in Shouchun and other places, it must be much easier to take these two cities at that time.
As a result, the Jiangdong army and horses did not move, and the war clouds that were originally permeated in Lujiang, Hefei and other places disappeared a lot for a while. It's just that Sima Yi did not carry out Cao Cao's order, and went to Jiangdong to discuss the matter of the two families to strike the army, Sima Yi already knew in his heart that he would definitely return in vain if he went to Jiangdong. Zhou Lang now has the advantage, and at this time he lightly said that he would quit the army. Isn't it boring to go to yourself? Moreover, once Zhou Yu took advantage of Sima Yi's departure to attack Hefei, it would be even more difficult for Hefei to hold on.
Unconsciously, half a moon has passed, and Pang Shanmin in Changsha has also gotten the battle situation of Jiangdong and Cao Cao.
It's a good calculation.
Pang Shanmin is not discouraged by this situation, in fact, in Pang Shanmin's view, the role of Jiangdong in the war has been achieved, this time it has dragged tens of thousands of Cao troops, and the troops are stationed in Hefei, as long as Zhou Yu does not leave for a day, Zhang Liao and Sima Yi are afraid that it will be difficult to feel at ease.
In the past few days, Pang Shanmin has received a lot of letters from Chang'an, Wancheng and other places, for Zhuge Liang's full success in the first battle, Pang Tong's eager fighting spirit naturally can't be suppressed, Pang Tong's hands are the world-famous Xiliang Iron Cavalry, in Pang Tong's view, needless to say that Luoyang is broken, even if it is a blow, it is not difficult to drive Cao's army to the north of the Yellow River.
In the past, Dong Zhuo usurped the Han Dynasty, relying on the invincible elite iron cavalry, now the northwest is pacified, the Qiang people are attached, the iron cavalry under the command of Pang Tong is only stronger than when Dong Zhuo was in charge of the army before, only strong and not weak, three years of hard work, the iron cavalry has been Wuwei, stabilized the surrounding bandits, horse bandits are all annihilated, and occasionally survived, I am afraid that it can only escape from Wuhuan......
In the northwest regions, there is no opponent for iron cavalry training, so Pang Tong is anxious in his heart, and he wants to go to Luoyang, and he will meet Luoyang Zhong Xuan for a while.
Speaking of Zhong Xuan, this is the former Han Huangmen squire, with great achievements and outstanding political achievements, that is, Pang Shanmin is also quite respectful of this person, Cao Cao used this person to guard the important town of Luoyang, which is enough to prove that he trusts him very much.
Pang Shanmin was quite amused by this, in fact, the evaluation of Pang Tong's wisdom in later generations was far higher than that of Zhong Xuan, but as far as the current situation is concerned, there is some truth in what Pang Tong said.
Zhong Xuan's experience is far richer than Pang Tong's, and Luoyang City is high and strong, and it is not easy to get down quickly.
Now occupy Wancheng, pass three levels to connect with Chang'an, Pang Shanmin originally thought that the convergence of the dragon and phoenix chicks, so that the two of them together to break Luoyang. However, Pang Tong thinks that Tongguan and Wuguan are treacherous, if the army is gathered here, the dangerous terrain will make the army move, which is quite restrictive.
Pang Tong's rhetoric does have some truth, but Pang Shanmin knows that Pang Tong is unwilling to cooperate with Zhuge Liang, thinking of this, Pang Shanmin will inevitably shake his head and laugh, Wolong and Phoenix Chicks are all Jingxiang heroes, but to let these two people work together, I am afraid it will be difficult.
All outstanding people have arrogance in their chests, so Pang Shanmin has never mentioned these two people in the court, which is better or worse......
After thinking about it for a long time, Pang Shanmin sighed lightly, the secret channel in his heart is not as good as sparse, since Pang Tong is eager to fight, he will allow him to act cheaply, and he has been friends for a long time, Pang Shanmin also knows that Pang Tong is capable, if he only fights against Zhong Xuan, Pang Tong has a good chance of winning.
Now the only thing Pang Shanmin cares about is that Cao Cao, who is far away in Yecheng, has many advisers, and now Sima Yi and Cheng Yu have been dragged by Zhou Yu in Hefei City, if Cao Cao sends Guo Jia or Jia Xu to Luoyang, it will be difficult to predict the victory or defeat of this battle......
Guo Jia did not fall in Guandu, but now he has become the enemy of Pang Shanmin's confidant, occasionally remembering the past, and the days when Guo Jia drank and talked happily, Pang Shanmin didn't know whether to be happy or sad in his heart.
After a while, Pang Shanmin splashed ink, wrote a book, and ordered the messenger to send it to Chang'an, and the messenger just left the house, and saw a light horse coming, Pang Shanmin saw the person, and couldn't help laughing: "Boy, you don't practice hard in Runan, why did you come here?" ”
The person who came was Sun Shao, Sun Shao rolled the saddle and dismounted, hugged his fists and bowed: "I've seen Tang Hou." ”
Pang Shanmin nodded slightly, Sun Shao took out a letter from his arms, and said to Pang Shanmin: "Shao'er is here, it is official business, yesterday there was a messenger from Cao Cao, send this letter to Runan, and inform the military advisor, be sure to hand it over to your uncle as soon as possible!" ”
"Oh?" Pang Shanmin was slightly stunned when he heard this, and took the letter, and the timeless handwriting on the letter made Pang Shanmin secretly frightened.
It was actually Guo Jia's handwriting.
Spread out the letterhead, after reading the letter, Pang Shanmin sighed, secretly said that this should come after all, Guo Jia has arrived in Xudu, and swears to recapture Wancheng, the letter said that although Jingxiang's military horses have the upper hand for a while, but he Guo Jia is here, Jingxiang wants to win again, it is difficult to climb to the sky!
"It's so courageous!"
After a long time, Pang Shanmin put the letterhead on the case, Sun Shao leaned over to look at it a few times, and then he was furious and said to Pang Shanmin: "Guo Fengxiao is too deceitful!" ”
"Shao'er, don't be angry, what the letter says is not false, there are few people in this world who are good at plotting better than filial piety." Pang Shanmin saw that Sun Shao was furious, shook his head and smiled: "Wancheng was broken, Cao Cao must also be anxious, Feng Xiao said that he wanted to take Wancheng, but in Pang Mou's opinion, the fundamental purpose of this letter is to deter Pang Mou, don't act rashly......"
"Shock? It's not me Jing Xiang who should be afraid, but he Guo Jiacai! When Sun Shao heard this, he said seriously: "Bo Yan's military division has been running Runan for several years, and he has not encountered a war for a long time, and the generals and soldiers in Runan City have long been hungry and thirsty for the war, so it is better for my uncle to order the army division headquarters to go to meet the enemy!" ”
"Bo Yan vs. Feng Xiao?" Pang Shanmin smiled when he heard this: "Bo Yan is still a little immature, and he is a rival to those who serve filial piety, and he must be ...... Kong Ming."
Now that he knows where Guo Jia goes, Pang Shanmin is much more relaxed, so it must be Jia Xu who dominates the overall situation in Yecheng, Pang Tong wants to attack Luoyang, and he will not encounter one of the two, which adds a lot of chances of winning.
As for what Guo Jiaxin said, Pang Shanmin didn't take it to heart, thought for a while, Pang Shanmin lay on the case, and wrote another book, the letter was full of ridicule, saying that Guo Jia's voice was very strong, but it was difficult to change the declining state of Cao Jun now, and the princes of the three families had cultivated for three years...... The Central Plains is no longer able to resist the Jingxiang soldiers.
The war is not just to see the military generals of each family, which is better or worse, but more to test the comprehensive strength between the princes, Jingxiang recuperated for three years, its comprehensive strength has long been far beyond the vast Central Plains, if it is said that three years ago Jingxiang will still break the bones, now Jingxiang can continue to fight, and its logistics still have spare strength.
And now Wolong, the growth of the phoenix chick has already far exceeded Guo Jia's expectations, if before, Guo Jia still believed that he would be better than the two, and now he will fight with the two again, I am afraid that it will be difficult to distinguish between them, whether it is Zhuge Liang or Pang Tong, they are holding their breath in their hearts, and they want to challenge Guo Jia, the chief strategist of Cao Ying......
Sun Shao looked at what Pang Shanmin said in the letter, his heart was dark, and he applauded again and again, and said to Pang Shanmin: "Uncle, these words make Shao'er angry!" ”
Pang Shanmin glanced sideways at Sun Shao, and said with a smile: "This is called something to say, Pang Mou can't let that Guo Jia take advantage of his mouth, this time Shao'er came to Changsha, when he went back to the house to see Mrs. Da Qiao, this letter will be sent to Runan." ”
When Sun Shao heard this, he nodded, said goodbye to Pang Shanmin, and left the Taishou Mansion.
Seeing Sun Shao's back in a hurry, Pang Shanmin sighed lightly, and once again spread out the Guo Jia's handwritten letter in the corner of the case, a touch of loneliness flashed on his face, and he muttered: "Fengxiao, if you are captured, will you surrender?"
