In the Jingzhou military camp, Zhang Yun, who received Pang Tong's message, was full of doubts.

When the Han army arrived in Fancheng, it did not have any contact with the Jingzhou army.

He really couldn't understand why Pang Tong offered to discuss military affairs with him after the Han army advanced to Fancheng and then withdrew.

The Han army that reported the news had already left, and there was no reason why he should not meet Pang Tong.

Pinching his chin, Zhang Yun's face showed an entanglement.

"General Qiyu, the right prime minister of the Han Dynasty is here!" Not long after the Han army who came to inform him left, a personal soldier guarding outside the tent ran in, clenched his fists and bowed down to report to Zhang Yunyu.

Hearing that Pang Tong was coming, Zhang Yun hurriedly stood up, waved his hand at the soldier who reported the news, and said to him: "Quick, go with someone to greet him!" ”

"Don't bother the general, so-and-so has arrived!" Zhang Jun's voice fell, and before he could take a step, a voice came from outside the tent, and then the two of them entered the tent.

The two people who entered the tent, walking in front of them, were Pang Tong, who was wearing a green cloth robe and dressed as a scribe.

Behind Pang Tong was a general of the Han army wearing red armor.

Entering the tent, the Han army strode to the side with his hand on the hilt of the sword, and Pang Tong clasped his fists with both hands, arched at Zhang Yun and said with a smile: "Military affairs are urgent, come to visit at night, the general is not strange!" ”

"The prime minister is polite!" Although Liu Biao's order had not yet come to Fancheng 10↓, Zhang Yun did not dare to snub Pang Tong, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said to him: "I don't know what happened when the prime minister came here?" ”

Zhang Yun asked him about the purpose of his visit, Pang Tong lowered his fists and said to him: "I came here this time to discuss with the general about the strategy of breaking the city!" ”

"Prime Minister, please!" Knowing that Pang Tong came to discuss with him the strategy of breaking the city, Zhang Yun hurriedly made a gesture of invitation to him, and only after Pang Tong sat down in the tent did he ask cautiously: "The imperial army is here, if the city is broken, I don't know whose credit it is?" ”

"It's the general's credit!" Smiling slightly, Pang Tong said to Zhang Yun: "The general led the army to besiege the city for many days, then Liu Bei was trapped in the city, even if we break the city, the general will also make a great contribution!" ”

Pinching his chin, Zhang Yun's face showed an entanglement, and he didn't respond immediately.

The credit is his, and he wants to ask more about whether this Fancheng will be ruled by officials sent by the imperial court once the city is broken, or whether it will still belong to Jingzhou.

From his expression, Pang Tong had already seen the clues, and said with a faint smile on his face: "The general doesn't have to be entangled, our army is here just to defeat Liu Bei." Now the imperial court has sent people to contact Jingsheng Gong, and after defeating Liu Bei, this Jingzhou is still under the rule of Jingsheng Gong! ”

Hearing that Liu Bei was defeated, Jingzhou still belonged to Liu Biao's rule, Zhang Yun hurriedly asked Pang Tong: "What the prime minister said is really not bad?" ”

"A certain prime minister of the Han Dynasty, how can he make jokes!" Zhang Yu's question made Pang Tong suddenly pull down his face, and his tone was much stiffer and said: "Could it be that General Fei can't believe so, and he can't believe His Majesty today?" ”

This hat is really not small for Zhang Yun.

Although the Jingzhou army had sent troops to the imperial court earlier, Liu Biao has been entangled in his heart recently, and what he is afraid of is that the imperial court will hold grudges.

As a general under Liu Biao, Zhang Yun certainly did not dare to estranged himself from the people from the imperial court before Liu Biao spoke.

This is also the reason why the Han army arrived in Fancheng, and although the Jingzhou army did not receive the order to cooperate, it never attacked the Han army.

"The last general is a martial artist, and his speech is abrupt, so it's no wonder that the prime minister is strange!" Seeing the unhappiness on Pang Tong's face, Zhang Yun hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted him, and said, "I just don't know what the prime minister's good strategy is to break the enemy?" ”

"Whether you can break the enemy or not, it's all in the general!" Zhang Yun accompanied, Pang Tong's face softened a lot, stared at him and said: "The enemy troops in the city poured tung oil on the city wall, and piled up firewood outside the city, just to prevent us from climbing the city wall. It was thought that if there was enough firewood, the walls could be burned like furnaces. Imagine that the city wall is hot, how can people stand on it? ”

"It is difficult for the enemy to gain a foothold, and our army will not be able to enter the city." As soon as Pang Tong's words came out, Zhang Yun frowned and said, "Even if the entire city wall is burned red, how can it be broken?" ”

What Zhang Yun said was not unreasonable, but Pang Tong said with a slight smile: "Imagine the general, there are no soldiers and horses in the city, can our army drive straight into the city and smash the city gate?" ”

"What do you mean, breaking in?" Pang Tongyi's words dispelled Zhang Yun's concerns, his eyes suddenly opened, and he said with joy: "So good!" The soldiers climbed the city wall, and they really had to suffer a lot......"

The strategy was agreed by Zhang Yun, and Pang Tong stroked his beard and nodded with a smile.

"With such a good strategy to break the enemy, what is the prime minister waiting for?" Without waiting for Pang Tong to speak, Zhang Yun took the first step and said: "The prime minister is driven, and the general will obey it!" ”

"What the general said is true?" When he came to Zhang Yun's barracks, Pang Tong's purpose was to give him a credit, staring at Zhang Yun's face full of expectation, he asked with a pun.

"Defeat Fancheng, a certain must take that Liu Bei's head! The prime minister is relieved, but there is a drive, and someone has to step forward! Standing up, Zhang Yun bowed to Pang Tong and said: "Although the last general has not yet received the military order of Jingsheng Gong, the prime minister will not deceive the last general, this time the last general is a gamble, just ask for that Liu Bei Xiang to be the head!" ”

Speaking of Liu Bei, Zhang Yun gritted his teeth.

Looking at the expression on his face, Pang Tong knew that this person hated Liu Bei, and he was afraid that he would not be much worse than Lu Bu.

Lu Bu, the main general who led the Han army to Fancheng, and Zhang Yun, the main general who led the Jingzhou army to besiege Fancheng, hated Liu Bei to the point of gritting their teeth.

Once Fancheng is breached, Liu Bei's fate is really worrying.

Pang Tong didn't care about Liu Bei's life or death, all he cared about was how to get Zhang Yun to order the Jingzhou army to pile firewood under the city wall.

When you go to the city wall of Fancheng, you must bear the perseverance shot from the top of the city, and the soldiers who pile up firewood will also have a lot of casualties.

The Han army only came with 30,000 people, and the daily casualties were dozens of days, and the number of casualties was unbearable for the Han army for more than ten consecutive days.

The only way to pass on the casualties and pile up enough firewood at the foot of Fancheng to burn the city head into flint is to persuade Zhang Yun to let the Jingzhou army send him to death.

It is obviously unreasonable to put forward such a proposal straightforwardly, and it is difficult to get Zhang Yun's approval.

What Pang Tong had to do was to think of a way to persuade Zhang Yun to let the soldiers of the Jingzhou army rush to the wall of Fancheng with firewood.

Leaning forward slightly, Zhang Yun stared at Pang Tong, waiting for him to continue.

Pang Tong didn't rush to speak, just looked at Zhang Yun with a smile.

He and Pang Tong looked at each other, and after a while, Zhang Yuncai, who felt uncomfortable, asked him: "Prime Minister, why do you want to stop talking?" ”

"General Zhang, the imperial army came to Fancheng, but it was suffering from the unfamiliarity of the territory and the scarcity of generals, and some things were really powerless!" It wasn't until Zhang Yun opened his mouth to ask that Pang Tong said to him: "Our army is advancing to Fancheng this evening, and it is precisely to pile up firewood under the city. ”

"How?" Zhang Yun was more concerned about when he would be able to break through Fancheng and capture Liu Bei, Pang Tong said that the Han army went to Fancheng to pile up firewood, and he hurriedly asked.

From Zhang Yun's face, Pang Tong saw the anxiety, and knew in his heart that he must be unbearable, so he sighed softly and said: "It's a pity that there are few soldiers who go to the city, and they don't pile up too much firewood. In this way, it will take ten months to say the least, and then the firewood can be piled up under the city! ”

Pang Tong said that it would take ten months to pile up the firewood, and the anxiety on Zhang Yun's face was a little more intense than before.

Frowning, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked Pang Tong, "Isn't there a better way for the prime minister?" ”

"There's only one way!" Staring at Zhang Yun, Pang Tong said to him: "Please ask the general's soldiers and horses to cooperate with our army to stack firewood, the enemy army in the city will shoot arrows to the city, our army's strong crossbowmen and crossbow arrows are farther than the enemy's, but they can be blocked from behind the formation, but in this way, our army will not be able to send enough soldiers and horses to the city!" ”

Hearing that Pang Tong wanted the Jingzhou army to go to the city to pile up firewood, Zhang Yun's face showed a touch of embarrassment.

Although he is a martial artist, he is not stupid.

The soldiers went to the city and had to bear the arrows shot by Liu Beijun at the head of the city.

Despite the shield, casualties are inevitable.

The feathered arrows shot at the head of the city from outside the city have always been of little use in attacking the city, and at most they can suppress some of the enemy army.

Seeing the embarrassed look on Zhang Yun's face, Pang Tong stood up, arched his fists at him and said: "If the general is embarrassed, this matter will be stopped, I will wait for the army and make preparations, and Keri will attack the city!" ”

"Slow down!" Dropping a sentence, Pang Tong turned around and was about to leave, when Zhang Yun hurriedly called him.

The forcible siege of the city cost countless weapons, and the soldiers had to carry the ladder to charge towards Fancheng.

It will no longer be just the feathered arrows shot from the city walls.

After a little calculation in his heart, Zhang Yun had already settled the account.

Although there will be some casualties when soldiers and horses are sent to the city every day, since there is no need to force the city, the casualties of the soldiers will not be very heavy after all.

After weighing the two phases, the strategy proposed by Pang Tong is more feasible.

was about to leave Zhang Yunshuai's tent, and when he heard him say hello, Pang Tong knew that he had already entered the middle of the river, although there was no abnormal expression on his face, he already knew in his heart that this time he came to the Jingzhou military camp and did not go in vain.

Turning to face Zhang Yun, Pang Tong didn't speak, just stared at him, waiting for him to continue.

With a look of embarrassment on his face, Zhang Yun finally spoke: "The prime minister's plan is really a clever plan to break the city, but I don't know how our army should pile firewood at the foot of Fancheng?" ”

When Zhang Yun asked, Pang Tong's face suddenly showed joy, and he hugged his fists and said to him: "The general is righteous, and the city will be broken in just ten days!" When Liu Bei is awarded the head, a certain general asks His Majesty and Jingsheng Gong for credit! ”
