Zhang He and the other five generals arrived earlier than Pang Tong expected, and this was not the best time to attack, so even if they had arrived, they could not attack in a hurry.

Pang Tong was the supreme person in charge of the attack on Yizhou, and he commanded the six generals with the head of the General Staff.

Pang Tong used to be used as a fan for the name, which recorded the mountains and rivers of Yizhou, plus the supplement of the intelligence department and the Falcon intelligence team, the efforts of the past few years have definitely not been in vain, whether it is Hanzhong, or the entire Badi, the model of mountains and rivers has long been carved and sent into the military tent.

Next to the Wei River, tens of thousands of tents, the military village is rigorous, showing the trend of attacking and defending, the men and horses are whistling, in the scorching summer, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are still under the leadership of their own generals, shuttling in the jungle and the mountains.

Compared with a few years ago, Pang Tong is much more mature, and his chin has grown a long beard, and in terms of appearance alone, it no longer feels as ugly as when he was young.

Pang Tong's General Staff Department was set up for the purpose of counselor military strategy, and it stands to reason that he does not have the ability to lead troops, but Yuan Shang eliminated all difficulties, and the veteran generals and strategists in the army all knew the detailed map of the beneficial state in Pang Tong's hands, so the controversy was not very big, and it was easily suppressed by Yuan Shang.

There are only a dozen subordinates of the General Staff Department in the account, all of whom are relatively young, and Wang Xiang, Liu Fangwei, Sun Zi and others are only forty years old, and they can already be regarded as young and strong.

Pang Tong himself is not very old, in his early thirties, so he chose people to fill the General Staff. It is also mostly based on youth as the first criterion. As a staff officer to the Counsellor Military. Without a risk-taking mind and a changeable way of thinking, it is too rigid after all, and Pang Tong saw this clearly, so most of the members of the entire confidential general staff department were between 20 and 40 years old, and rarely exceeded this definition.

It is precisely because Pang Tong wantonly uses young people that this department, which plays a major role as a military aircraft, is full of vigor and vigor, compared with other departments and departments. Although it is not necessarily better than others, it has a little more agility.

More than a dozen people, divided into left and right two columns to sit on the ground, and Pang Tong is sitting cross-legged above, this is the internal meeting of the General Staff Department, so there is no participation of other generals, the atmosphere in the tent is not very dignified, the current war is the beginning, the soldiers and horses are still in full swing training, the tense atmosphere of saber-rattling has not yet spread to the tiger and wolf army. Therefore, everyone's expressions were quite relaxed.

"Ahem~"

Pang Tong coughed lightly, this habit. It can often be seen in many leaders, the most common, about the meeting occasion, the purpose of which is to attract everyone's attention, and sure enough, with Pang Tong's false cough, more than a dozen eyes shot at Pang Tong.

Looking at the dozen or so pairs of eyes cast at him, Pang Tong nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Regarding the information from Yizhou today, have you read it?" ”

The next group nodded their heads, reading the daily information is the first thing that everyone in the General Staff Department has to do when they get up every day, and it is more important than eating breakfast or washing, it is related to whether they can get the information they need before the others, and in order to be able to have enough time to extract the various information contained in that thin piece of paper.

"Liu Zhang has already mobilized Dongzhou County in full swing, not only that, Zhang Lu has also sent someone over, except for the local clan who is still waiting, looking at the situation, this person is ready to resist to the end."

Pang Tong's palms in his sleeves rubbed gently, and he didn't feel much surprised when he looked at the information sent by the Intelligence Department and the Falcon Intelligence Team today, Liu Zhang's temperament is weak, but it is only compared to his father and Yuan Shang, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Ce and other powerful princes, if you want to make him succumb just by stationing troops on the border, it is not so simple, Liu Zhang has been sitting in that position for a long time, and has enjoyed the multiple benefits brought by power, and he will definitely not give in to Yuan Shang before he is woken up by a stick, which is this, Pang Tong saw it very clearly.

"The reason why Liu Zhang dared to choose to resist was because he had not been beaten yet."

At this time, it was Liu Fang who opened his mouth to take over Pang Tong's words, with a thick Yanbei accent, this person claimed to be the descendant of Liu Dan, the king of Yan Thorn in the Western Han Dynasty, he was not very old, but he was quite talented, not only wrote a good article, but also had the courage, six years ago, after Yuan Shang annexed Youzhou, this person led the family servants to come to serve, and was recommended to Pang Tong by the golden million, and now he has been in the General Staff Department for three years.

Although Liu Fang is a literati, he is the main battle faction seeking a battle in Yizhou, unlike everyone in the hall, his idea is more inclined to beat Liu Zhang down with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying, in his opinion, dealing with Liu Zhang's kind of person will only hurt him and naturally surrender, with the army of surrender without fighting, in the early stage of the strategy, the role is not very large.

Pang Tong smiled noncommittally, looked at the others inside, and said with a smile: "Abandon the main battle, what about waiting?" ”

"It is naturally best to be able to surrender people without a fight"

Wang Xiang, who was sitting opposite Liu Fang, smiled and said: "Shu is complicated, if you gather all your strength to fight according to what Ziqi said, although our army can win, it will also suffer a lot of casualties, and I believe that the lord is not happy to see it." ”

"Then what if Liu Zhang refuses to surrender?"

Liu Fang shook his head, this is the reason why he has always advocated a few major battles first, Liu Zhang is not the head of an ordinary county, with the brave Dongzhou army in hand, and then with the support of the local clan, with the easy defense and difficult attack of Yizhou, the army that does not fight is just the moon in the water, it seems to be bright, but in fact it can't be caught.

"He'll Descend"

Among the people, Sun Zi, who was the most mature-looking, suddenly spoke, he was the first batch of veteran staff officers since the establishment of the General Staff Headquarters, and the General Staff had three grades, and Wei Xun was the second grade.

"Liu Zhang, I believe that all the colleagues present should have some research, this person has always been weak, undecisive, relying on Liu Yan's foundation to survive, he has almost squandered it, surrender is his only way out."

Under the gaze of everyone, Sun Zi cleared his throat and continued: "The information handed over by the Intelligence Department and the Falcon Intelligence Team, I believe that the Chief of Staff and your colleagues have also analyzed the two forces under Liu Zhang's command, the Dongzhou Army is the pioneer of Liu Yan's entry into Shu, of course, there are also many refuge clans, mainly the Li clan and the Wu clan, the strength is strong, but with the death of Liu Yan and Liu Zhang, the second is the local clan alliance in Yizhou, represented by the Huang clan and the Qian clan, forming a close alliance, although it is strong, But it is not Liu Zhang's subordinates, it can only be said that it is the result of the exchange of interests, based on the above, to force Liu Zhang, we have an opportunity, but it depends on where to start, how to start, this is the most important thing. ”

"Of course"

Sun Zi smiled: "I don't object to the idea of abandoning the main battle, whether it is Liu Zhang, or the Dongzhou Group, or the Yizhou Shizu Alliance, they are all a group of Yelang people who live in a remote corner, and they will definitely not become well-behaved if they don't hurt them. ”

Everyone in the hall nodded, Wei Xun's words, and their ideas are not much different, the General Staff has less than thirty people, but they are all resourceful, even if their fame is not as good as those listed in the novels of the Three Kingdoms, but it does not mean that their vision and wisdom will be worse, gather the wisdom of everyone, scrutinize any details that may occur, everything Wei Xun said, that is, Pang Tong couldn't help but slightly nodded his head in agreement.

"Taking advantage of the fact that he has not completely turned his face with Liu Zhang, the advance team sent some courageous debaters to quietly enter Shu, even if it can't play a big role for the time being, maybe there will be surprises in the future." Wang Xiang added.

"Hmm"

Pang Tong nodded slightly and said: "This matter will naturally get in touch with Ziyang and Ma Dai, as for the number of candidates and dispatch to Shu, it will be up to them to finalize, and what you have to do now is to get out of the big tent, beside the generals, the counselor military, Shu is steep, this war, it will be hard for you." ”

Everyone hurriedly said no, this time the people who were sent to Shu by Pang Tongdian are all backbones who have served in the General Staff for more than two years, not only have rich experience and can endure hardships, but also one of them.

Just when Pang Tong was discussing with everyone, Cao Jun, who was thousands of miles away, had already passed through Jingzhou, and there was only half a day's walk away from Yizhou. (To be continued......)
