"In Xia Pangji, on the order of Liu Jingzhou, I met with General Zhendong. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" When the envoy was brought into the county office, Zhang Ji was ready and sat upright.

Came to Pang Ji, born in the Xiangyang clan Pang Shi, and is also the brother of the famous "Phoenix Chick" Pang Tong, Liu Biao entered Jingzhou in the early years, Pang Biao, like the Kuai family and the Cai family, chose Liu Biao, the first to serve, to help Liu Biao pacify Jingzhou. At the beginning, he and Kuai Yue, as a native of Xiangyang, persuaded Chen Sheng Zhang Hu, who was entrenched in Xiangyang for chaos, to surrender Liu Biao, so as to get a prosperous Xiangyang and move to the Assassin History Office.

"Pang Zheng's name, General Ben has heard of it for a long time, I don't know what is the important matter for Liu Jingzhou to send you here?" Zhang Ji secretly glanced at Jia Xu, who was silently beside him, and asked.

"I heard that General Zhendong came to the east, and I am grateful for the general's contribution to supporting the Han family, and I am here to thank you." Pang Rou smiled, "Of course, this is a polite remark on the surface. ”

"Oh, what about actually?" Zhang Ji smiled, but the smile was a little infiltrating.

"In fact, seeing that the general was cornered, I came to give the general some guidance." Pang Rou was unmoved.

"How daring, dare to despise General Ben so much, aren't you afraid of a catastrophe?" Zhang Ji took the case. And when they reached the roar in the lobby, a group of personal soldiers immediately entered and took the form of a person.

"What, speaking of the general's sore spots? If the general does not want to listen to the truth, he will drag him out and behead him, but he doesn't know how many people will be buried in the next place. "Pang Ji is neither humble nor arrogant.

"Go down." Zhang Ji waved his hand, and the soldiers immediately went out, "Are you threatening General Ben?" ”

"Don't dare, just tell the truth." Pang Rou was still calm.

"Even if General Ben is forced to come east, he still has a million elites in his hands, and he has his own foothold in Nanyang, so why do you need to give alms? I'm really like a beggar in Xiliangjun. Zhang Ji sneered.

"If it is the heyday of the Xiliang Army, of course, we don't need to say much, but what is the situation of the Xiliang Army now, the general knows better than me, dare to ask how much strength the general has inherited from the Xiliang Army?" Pang Rou sneered, "Millions of elites, are they a lot?" Yuan Shu is only in Nanyang County, and the elite is more than 2 million, not to mention others. Even if the general's command is strong and can defeat the defenders of Nanyang head-on, what can he do with Wancheng, which is strong and full of food? If Wancheng is not broken, Yuan Shu's forces in Nanyang will not be broken, and he can be killed again at any time. The name of the first prince of Kwantung was not blown out, so what should the general do when the time comes? Can we continue to gain a foothold in Nanyang? ”

"It is worthy of being the person who was able to persuade the Xiangyang thief to surrender back then, and in terms of eloquence, General Ben is ashamed of himself." Zhang Ji was silent for a while, and seeing that Jia Xu still didn't mean to speak, he said, "If you have anything to say, there is no need to beat around the bush, and General Ben doesn't have so much time." ”

"The general also knows that Nanyang is the boundary of Jingzhou, but he has always been controlled by Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu is strong, and Liu Jingzhou is unable to return Jingzhou at all. Now that Yuan Shu is on an eastward expedition, most of the troops have been pinned, since the general came east and chose Nanyang to gain a foothold, it is to evil Yuan Shu, so Liu Jingzhou means that our two families will unite to fight against Yuan Shu and seize Nanyang. Pang Ji no longer concealed it, and directly conveyed Jingzhoumu's meaning.

"Jointly capture Nanyang?" Zhang Ji glanced at Jia Xu, and let him say it again, "Then what?" ”

"Naturally, we will continue to jointly defend Nanyang to prevent Yuan Shu's counterattack. The general doesn't think that we can still go east and take Yuzhou together, right? Pang Rou said with a smile, "Now the territory controlled by Yuan Shu, from east to west, no less than 10,000 miles, there are too many places that need to be guarded, so that the troops are scattered, if they are concentrated, which prince can be its edge, can hold Nanyang without losing, it is already good to break one of its arms, and it must be cooperated by other princes, such as Tao Gongzu and Cao Mengde." ”

"You know, that's not what General Ben said." Zhang Ji stared at Pang Ji tightly, "Since it is a union, how will the boundary be divided after capturing Nanyang?" It won't be until the end, you will annex and dominate Nanyang with the general's men and horses, right? ”

"The general laughed, of course not." Pang Ji smiled awkwardly, and said in his heart that this was the consensus of Jingzhou, but unfortunately he couldn't do it for a while, "What does the general mean?" ”

"Not to mention the rest, Wancheng must be owned by me." Zhang Ji's voice was firm, and there was no room for negotiation.

"Yes, but the rest will require the general to back down." Maybe Liu Biao and the others had expected it, Pang Ji hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "Then let's discuss the specific boundary division issue." ”

……

In late April of the sixth year of Chuping, General Zhennan, Mu Liu Biao of Jingzhou and General Zhang Ji of Zhendong joined forces to attack Nanyang, and the world was shaken.

The players around Nanyang are even more excited, because only by fighting can they have the opportunity to make a fortune and grow their strength, of course, the same is the same, the risk is the same.

Nanyang Taishou Yuan Yin had just mobilized troops and horses from various counties, and wanted to bring the army to directly exterminate Zhang Ji, and when he heard that Liu Biao was dispatched, he was shocked, and ordered the counties to guard the city on the one hand, and asked Yuan Shu for help on the other hand, and the assembled army no longer dared to go out of Wancheng, and sat back and watched the surrounding counties being broken by Zhang Ji and Liu Biao one by one.

Yuan Shu was even more angry after getting the news, and immediately mobilized Yuzhou soldiers and horses to go to Nanyang to support, but at this moment, Cao Cao of Yanzhou began to gather troops, and his intentions were unknown.

Yan Xiang also persuaded Yuan Shu to give up Xuzhou and save Nanyang as the top, but now Guangling has been captured by Qiaorui, and Pengcheng has also taken a county, in the face of the upcoming Xuzhou, Yuan Shu was reluctant to give up, but ordered to strengthen the attack, wanting to capture Xuzhou as soon as possible, and then return to the division to support Nanyang.

Yuan Shu ordered Sun Jian to return to Nanyang to support Nanyang and flank Zhang Ji, but Sun Jian refused Yuan Shu's order on the grounds that the war in Hanoi was in full swing and he could not withdraw, saying that he must catch Zhang Yang to avenge Yuan Shu.

Liu Biao and Zhang Ji's armies went out in two ways, attacking Nanyang counties one by one, Yuan Shu was in a rage all day long, and ordered Ji Ling, Zhang Xun and others to speed up the capture of Pengcheng again and again. After he planned to take Pengcheng, he would temporarily put down Xuzhou and then support Nanyang.

But things didn't turn out the way he imagined. When he was preparing to attack Pengcheng County, Cao Cao once again entered Xuzhou under the banner of revenge and began to fight with Yuan Shu for Pengcheng.

Is Cao Cao so selfless? Of course not, the reason why Yuan Shu is so restrained and creates conditions for Nanyang Liu Biao and Zhang Ji is to weaken Yuan Shu's strength, for him, although he can't get Nanyang, as long as he is not in Yuan Shu's hands, there will always be a chance, and it also weakens Yuan Shu's strength, why not?

Why was Liu Biao so generous and gave Wancheng to Zhang Ji? It's the same thing. He needed to unite with Zhang Ji to fight against Yuan Shu, and it was much less difficult to recover Wancheng in Zhang Ji's hands than in Yuan Shu's hands. Moreover, Zhang Jidong is not allowed to be trusted by the Kwantung princes, he can only rely on him, Nanyang is no longer a threat, and he can also have more energy to put elsewhere.

Cao Cao, Tao Qian, Liu Biao, Zhang Ji, for a time, the first prince of Kwantung fell under the siege of several people.
