Zhuge Liang had good intentions, in order to leave a chance for the newcomer Pang Tong, so he took advantage of the opportunity that Eastern Wu wanted to attack Jingnan, and took the initiative to ask Ying to lead a part of the soldiers and horses to Jingzhou, and gave Pang Tong the opportunity to attack Yuan's army this time.

Zhuge Liang understands Pang Tong's current mood very well, when he first came to Liu Bei's hands, he was actually quite excluded, except for Liu Bei, the rest of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others were not convinced by him at all, and the rest of Sun Qian, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, even though they were respectful and respectful on the surface, but it was in the way of Liu Bei's face, and there was nothing to be done.

Zhuge Liang was able to play his current position in Liu Beijun, and it is true that it took a lot of turnover before he was recognized by everyone, because although the internal unity of Liu Bei Group is like a steel plate, it is because it is too united, so that it is difficult for outsiders to get involved in it.

Now that Pang Tong is new, he is in the same embarrassing position as Zhuge Liang at the beginning, and it is even more difficult than Zhuge Liang at the beginning, that is, now Zhuge Liang has occupied an important position in the think tank, and there is still a competitive relationship, so Pang Tong is eager to make meritorious contributions and needs to prove himself.

For this reason, Zhuge Liang took the initiative to give up this battle. It can be regarded as the achievement of the love between the same bed and friends for many years.

In fact, not only Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei is old and refined, and he also knows Pang Tong's current mentality in his heart, so he deliberately sent Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Chen Zhi, these veterans who have followed him for many years, to let them go with Zhuge Liang.

One is that these people are really strong, and Zhuge Liang is easy to use, and the other is that they have already obeyed Zhuge Liang at the moment, but they are not convinced by Pang Tong, so let them stay here and obey Pang Tong's dispatch, Liu Bei is really a little uneasy.

Third, Liu Bei also expects Huang Zhong to be hired. Wei Yan and all the newly attached generals in Jingzhou were able to make some contributions to reassure him.

However, in the final analysis, the evacuation of nearly half of the soldiers and horses led by Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Chen Zhi and others did greatly weaken Liu Bei's strength in attacking Yuan Shang this time! There is no doubt about this.

On the way back to Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang's eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, and the white feather fan in his hand was also slowly swaying. It's very mechanical and careless.

Beside Zhuge Liang, Ma Liang, the new Jingzhou counselor who returned with him, stepped forward, came to Zhuge Liang's four-wheeled car, bowed his head and asked, "Strategist, you seem to have something on your mind?" ”

Zhuge Liang took a long breath and nodded: "Ji Chang, this time Liu Jingzhou's mansion suddenly got the news that it was the Eastern Wu army stationed at the mouth of the Sanjiang River. The intention to go west, although things make sense, but faintly, I always feel like there is some sense of conspiracy. ”

Hearing this, Ma Liang carefully lowered his head and thought for a while. Shaking his head, he said: "The military advisor is too worried, Dongwu and Jingzhou, since the fight began with Sun Jian's generation, there has been a common hatred. What's more, the place where the Sun family covets Jingxiang is no longer an overnight thing, but the military advisor doesn't have to worry too much. ”

Zhuge Liang thought for a moment. Said: "Yes, the Sun family has indeed wanted to plot Jingzhou for a long time, and this matter is indeed within my expectations, but there are too many wise people in the world, and it is inevitable that there will be some interests with the people of the north, I don't know if Lu Dao will have any interests with Yuan Shang......"

Ma Liang said lightly: "It's useless to think too much, no matter how much Yuan Shang struggles, it is already a sure fact that his battle line is elongated, and now that the raid is coming, even if he has the ability to reach the sky, it will be even more difficult to win back the battle situation!" ”

Zhuge Liang sighed and said: "I'm afraid that this person is cunning, and he will make some bad moves, and then the gains will outweigh the losses." ”

"With Pang Junshi here, there shouldn't be any big deals, and his people are as famous as the military division......."

"I'm afraid that he is also a meritorious ......."

“………………….”

**************************

Xingyang, Yuan Shang was temporary.

Yuan Shang gently knocked on the table, wearing the silver armor he used to fight, the sword did not leave his body, and he knocked on the table lightly with a solemn face, as if he was waiting for something, his trembling eyelids and irregular tapping finger shapes showed his anxious mood at the moment.

"Lord, lord!" The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the hall, and Yuan Shang suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Sima Yi, who was wiping his sweat and trotting all the way.

"How's it going?" Yuan Shang hurriedly got up and looked at Sima Yi with eager eyes.

Sima Yi took a long deep breath, and then said to Yuan Shang: "The three things of the main bus generation, Yi has already done all of them!" ”

Yuan Shang's expression was relieved, and he said, "How is the effect?" ”

Sima Yi smiled: "The first thing is to send someone to Liu Biao to deliver the news that Dongwu wants to attack Jingzhou in the south of Jingzhou, it is said that after Liu Biao received the news, he immediately sent a messenger to inform Liu Bei, I believe that Liu Bei has received the news at this moment!" ”

Yuan Shang nodded and said: "Well done, Jingzhou is Liu Bei's old book, he is categorically unwilling to give it to others easily, he will definitely send heavy troops back to fight Sun Wu, Zhou Yu wants to reap the benefits, watching the three of us fight and enjoy the success, so beautiful that his big snot is bubbling!" Now that Liu Bei has divided his troops and gone back, Jingzhou has taken strict precautions, and I expect that Dongwu will inevitably waste military power this time... By the way, it also helped us share some of the pressure of Liu Bei's soldiers. ”

Sima Yi said with a smile: "The lord's move is too high, it seems to be a trivial talk, but in fact it kills two birds with one stone, not only divides Liu Bei's soldiers and horses to attack us, but also allows Dongwu to return empty-handed, let Zhou Yu calculate us, and can't clean him up!" ”

Yuan Shang nodded and said, "The second thing." ”

As soon as he heard Yuan Shang's question, Sima Yi suddenly smiled obscenely and said: "According to the lord's orders, I have sent elite soldiers and strong generals to urge Zhou Yu to speed up the schedule. Hahaha, Zhou Yu said that the lord couldn't keep him, but the lord did the opposite, not only didn't keep him, but also pushed him away, this trick is really too lacking in morality, this has to be a lot of yin head to come up with this kind of trick........."

"Ahem, ahem!" Yuan Shang coughed heavily, then glared at Sima Yi dissatisfied.

Sima Yi smiled awkwardly and continued: "There is a third thing, which is to inform all the soldiers and horses in Zhongzhou to meet nearby. They went north to return to the army, and the news was also sent out. ”

Yuan Shang sighed and said: "Although the news has been sent out, it is a matter of one day for the soldiers and horses to gather and retreat, the soldiers and horses from all walks of life are scattered and withdrawn, Liu Bei and Xiahoudun, as well as the reinforced Cao army are coming, and they will still suffer losses if they are not in order, this is all my fault full of confidence... It's up to me for this battle. ”

Sima Yi arched his hand lightly and said, "Victory is not arrogant and defeat is not discouraged." Fang is a general, and the lord can be modest and self-filtering, alert himself, and deserve to be the master. ”

The two were talking, but they saw Ma Chao coming quickly, and said to Yuan Shang: "Lord, there is news from Qiyin County!" ”

Ziyin County belongs to Xingyang, and it is an important town under its subordinate that was expanded by Yuan Shang's soldiers and horses.

Yuan Shang's heart couldn't help but tighten, and he said in a low voice: "What's the situation?" ”

Ma Chao swallowed lightly and foamed at the mouth. said: "Qiyin County has been captured by unknown soldiers and horses, its speed is so fast, its momentum is so fierce, even the fast horse for help can't shoot it." If it weren't for the good detection of the eyeliner arranged by Ma Dai, I am afraid that even the county seat will be lost, and we will not know the way now. ”

Yuan Shang frowned and said, "Soldiers and horses, what about the soldiers and horses we are stationed in Qiyin?" ”

Ma Chao shook his head. Said: "None of them escaped.......

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows and said, "Good means, it seems that the other party has already begun to act." I don't know which way it is, there is not much time, since I have already notified the other second brothers, Tian Feng, and told them to integrate and retreat, we should not stay here longer, pass the order, and the soldiers and horses in every county will be evacuated quickly, and they can withdraw as much as they can! ”

"No——!"

The majestic Eastern Crusade was done like this, and Yuan Shang was very unwilling in his heart, but at the same time as this failure, it also sounded a bright alarm bell in his heart.

Cao Cao, the first hero in the world, died, and was defeated by himself, but it does not mean that there is no opponent of his own in this world, Liu Bei, Cao Zhi, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, .......these people are very strong opponents, they will weigh the pros and cons according to the situation, they will divide and merge according to the situation, if they want to defeat them, they must maintain a higher vigilance and a more stable ordinary heart than before, a little bit of arrogance and complacency will bring unexpected pain to themselves.

People always become more mature and stable after experiencing something, and now Yuan Shang seems to have a deep understanding of this truth.

Yuan Jun soldiers and horses retreated out of Xingyang in a hurry, and before they could get out of the three or five miles, they heard a huge roar sounding, only to see a Biao army charging head-on, the head of the general, the appearance is mighty, holding a war spear, wearing silver armor, majestic!

"Where is Yuan Shang'er going! Nanyang Wenpin is here! Leave your dog's head quickly! ”

Yuan Shang's heart tightened!

Liu Bei's speed is really fast enough, his side has just made Lisuo, and his side has already sent soldiers and horses to intercept it.......

If your side is blocked, you must be fighting against the other side as well.

Fast enough, fast enough!

I don't know who is the person who assisted Liu Bei this time? Wolong? Phoenix chicks? Or are both of them? Presumably, this kind of rapid attack arrangement, Liu Bei himself has no way to arrange it!

Also, Liu Bei has acted, what about Xiahoudun? What about Jia Xu?

Yuan Shangzheng was thinking about it, Ma Chao and Ma Dai in this side of the box were already the first to kill, leading the soldiers to rush straight to Wen Ping, and Wen Ping was also very good, while commanding the soldiers and horses to attack and kill, while taking the lead, he went to the front line to fight against the two generals!

Listening to the quiet forest that was still quiet, Yuan Shang's heart had an indescribable feeling, but Sima Yi rushed to Yuan Shang's side and scolded in a low voice: "Lord, I will protect you and go first, although the other party's name Wen Ping is brave, but he will definitely not be able to stop Ma Chao, they will definitely be able to follow on their own later!" It's just that the other party must not only have this way of soldiers, let's leave quickly. ”

Yuan Shang nodded and said, "I understand this, it's just ......"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a "whoosh" arrow sound, and a sharp arrow came in the air, passing through the gray frost camp of the escort army defending Yuan Shang, and shot directly on Yuan Shang's shoulder, and suddenly blood spilled in the air, which looked particularly eye-catching under the sun-shining sky!

"Lord!" Sima Yi shouted, hurriedly stepped forward to support Yuan Shang, and said loudly: "Quickly surround it, surround it!" Protect the Lord! ”

Yuan Shang grinned in pain, pulled out the arrow on his shoulder, and roared loudly: "Quick! Fast! Protect me! Enemies, enemies have snipers! There is a big sniper! It's four or six, don't let me get shot in the head! ”

“………………………”

Yuan Shang was shot!

When the arrow on the shoulder began, Yuan Shang knew that the shooter on the opposite side of the road was by no means an idle person, he was sitting in the Chinese army, and there were countless soldiers around him, in this chaotic situation, when he couldn't see the other party, and he could avoid the personal soldiers around him, an arrow hit him, and the opponent's archery skills had reached the level of gods! It's definitely a super dangerous existence!

Since Wen Ping can call out his name, it means that the other party still calculated that he would appear here in Xingyang, but he only sent such a team of soldiers and horses to deal with him, and he was not a threat to himself at all!

What does this mean? This shows that the other party has a conspiracy! And this arrow shot at his shoulder speaks for itself.

If the arrow moves slightly to the left for half a minute, his head will really be open!

What kind of immortal is it, who actually has such exquisite sniping methods?

Not far away, in a hidden hillside wood, a burly old man sitting on a big stone couldn't help but sigh regretfully.

The old man was full of white hair, and his jaw was full of silver beard, snow-white and snow-white, like Santa Claus, but the interesting thing is that don't look at his white hair and silver beard, but his complexion is extremely hard, and his strong muscles are wrapped in armor and look like he is ready to come out, like a beast ready to attack, which makes people shudder when they see it. and the three-stone silver bow in his hand, which is full of power and is very stylish.

If Yuan Shang is here, he will definitely say: "The old man who is trendy." ”

Needless to say, the one who hit Yuan Shang's shoulder with one arrow must be this old man.

The old man squinted his eyes and looked into the distance for a moment, then shook his head and sighed.

"The years are not forgiving, it's a pity, it's a pity, if this is changed when he is young, the old man's arrow can shoot a hole in his head....... sure enough, he is still old, and his head is not enough."

After that, he slowly took out another sharp arrow from the quiver behind his back (to be continued......
