716 The Fall of the Phoenix Chick
"Since it is the main road, there may be ambushes on the small road, but it can arrive one day earlier." Peng Yi said.
"In this way, let Wei Yan and Huang Zhong each lead an army, advance from two roads, and go straight to the city." Liu Bei gave the order.
"Lord, the path is not allowed." Peng Yi said again.
"If you don't have a surprise army, how can you defeat the enemy? I have read a lot of military books, and I don't need to say much. Liu Bei had Pang Tong's example, and he didn't want to give later generations a chance to kick his nose in the face, so he immediately said unceremoniously.
Peng Yi was a little unhappy in his heart, feeling that Liu Bei was stubborn and self-serving, not much different from Liu Zhang. Later, I also knew a little about Pang Tong's first glory and then decline, and I didn't want to follow in his footsteps, and since then, I have learned to be cautious in my words and deeds, and I don't like Liu Bei very much, which is a later story.
Hearing that Deng Xianling Bao was dead, Liu Zhang was even more panicked, and sent his uncle Wu Yi and eldest son Liu Xun to defend the city, and at the same time increase 20,000 soldiers and horses again.
Just the day before Liu Bei was ready to start his army, the messenger sent by Zhuge Liang finally arrived and presented the letter, Liu Bei opened it and took a look, only to see Zhuge Liang write in the letter: "The lord is near, watch the sky at night, and the stars will fall from the west, I am afraid that there will be bad luck. ”
Liu Bei sneered and burned the letter on the fire, as if there was no such thing at all. Early the next morning, the army was cleaned up, but Liu Bei found Pang Tong and said with a smile: "Recently, I have met the military division coldly, don't be responsible." How could Bei leave the military advisor to help him, because he was eager to win and had a boring temperament. Today, the army is about to attack the city, and he also asked the military division to lead an army and achieve the first success. ”
The unkempt Pang Tong suddenly became excited again, feeling that this might be his last chance, and he must not ignore it anymore! Pang Tong bent his knees, solemnly kowtowed to the ground and said: "You have to meet the master, although you have a liver and brain, you will never give up!" ”
"Hurry up, between you and me, there is no need to make this great gift." Liu Bei enthusiastically helped Pang Tong up, but Pang Tong couldn't help crying, and choked up: "Thank you, lord." ”
"You and Wei Yan march along the path on the east side and go straight to the east gate of the city. I went all the way with Huang Zhong and took the west gate along the main road, and then we would meet in the city. Liu Bei commanded.
Pang Tong's face was stunned, how could he not know the danger of the path, and just wanted to refute it, but seeing Liu Bei's unquestionable demeanor, thinking of the peaceful situation that was easy to win, he didn't dare to put forward an opinion, and nodded helplessly: "I listen to the arrangement of the lord." ”
"After the deed is completed, I will reward the meritorious and share the glory!" Liu Bei patted Pang Tong's shoulder affectionately.
Pang Tong then mounted his horse and hurried to join Wei Yan. Wei Yan also looked reluctant, and Liu Bei only gave him 3,000 soldiers and horses.
"General Wei, you open the way ahead, be careful, I'll cut it off." Pang Tong said.
"The road ahead is dangerous, Wei Yan is willing to move forward." Wei Yan nodded very righteously.
After discussing properly, he was about to set off, but Liu Bei came over on a horse, dismounted and said with a smile: "How can a military advisor ride an inferior horse, it is better to change to my BMW, but it is foolproof." ”
"I deeply feel the kindness of the lord, although I can't repay it even if I die!" Pang Tong hurriedly dismounted and bowed, and excused himself: "The lord has been riding this horse for a long time, how can Tong trespass?" ”
"It's okay, just wait for the military division to triumph." Liu Bei couldn't help but say that he changed to Pang Tong's horse and left. Lu Ma, who was led by Pang Tong, looked at Liu Bei's departing back, and let out a long sigh, feeling extremely sad.
No one knows about the matter of Lu Ma hindering the master, Liu Bei is fine riding, but it doesn't mean that others can ride. If you don't ride, it will always reach Liu Bei's ears, and the consequences can be imagined.
Pang Tong thought about it again and again, but he still resolutely rode on the Lu horse, believing that he was loyal and had the blessing of God, and then led the army towards the path with Wei Yan.
Wei Yan led the team into the valley cautiously, it was the end of summer, the trees were dense, the vines were thick, and it was very inconvenient to walk.
After walking for more than ten miles and not finding any ambushes, Wei Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Pang Tong in the rear has been absent-minded, and Luma always makes an anxious voice.
"Strategist, it's easiest to hide ambushes here, so let's withdraw the troops!" One of the lieutenants felt uneasy and cautiously said.
Pang Tong looked around, let out a sigh, and said, "Alas, everything is mandated by heaven!" ”
After Pang Tong finished speaking, his eyelids beat wildly, and his heart hurt like a tear, and he almost fell off the horse in pain.
"How is the military advisor?" The adjutant general asked worriedly.
Pang Tong wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and a fear and helplessness that his life was about to end inexplicably rose in his heart, which was a feeling that ordinary people could not understand. Luma didn't listen to the call, let it go east and west, and the jumping pangtong was hinged together, and he vomited.
Suddenly, the drums on the mountains on both sides rumbled, and Zhang Ren led the army to suddenly appear on the mountain, he saw the white horse ridden by Pang Tong at a glance, and couldn't help shouting excitedly: "The person riding the white horse must be Liu Bei, soldiers, give me an eye on the white horse and shoot arrows with all my might." ”
For a while, the arrows were like locusts, shooting through the woods towards Pang Tong, and the deputy general hurriedly waved his knife to block it, but the arrows were too dense, and soon the thigh and arm were each hit by an arrow.
Pang Tong was disheartened, knowing that he would not escape death today, so he grabbed the deputy general and ordered loudly: "Withdraw quickly!" ”
As soon as the words fell, swish! Several arrows were shot at Pang Tong's chest, and blood suddenly gushed out, soaking a piece of red-stained Luma.
Pang Tong spurted out a stream of blood arrows from his mouth, holding the reins, at this moment, how could he not know who was the first person who wanted him to die, and shouted sadly: "Lord, Pang Tong is loyal, the sky can be seen!" Why, you, put me to death! ”
Whoosh! After a few more arrows, Pang Tong was unable to move, almost became a living target, his blood was almost exhausted, his body was crooked, and he finally fell off his horse and died on the spot, only thirty-six years old.
Lu Ma lowered his head and bit Pang Tong's clothes, jumped up, turned the horse's head, like a red and white lightning, and disappeared in place in an instant.
The jealous genius is forgivable, but the human heart is sinister but sad. Meteors fall through the ages, and the general wanders alone!
Pang Tong died so unwillingly, he didn't even marry a daughter-in-law, and he didn't establish a merit that could be passed down through the ages, a wisp of ghost was unwilling to float in the sky, but there was an inexplicable gravitational force that sucked his soul over.
When Pang Tong opened his eyes again, there was an old Taoist in a purple robe in front of him, looking at him with blazing eyes, Pang Tong was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly bowed and said: "Thank you to the Taoist for rescuing!" ”
"Alas, I have sent a boy to warn you of how you are so foolish and faithful, and have not escaped the doom of heaven." The purple-robed old man sighed.
Do you say you're dead? Pang Tong couldn't help but be surprised, and then he looked at his body, which turned out to be dressed in white with a slender figure.
