At the end of September, the moon is cold everywhere.

The waning moon hangs, and the gate of Youxian County is closed. On the city tower, Pang Tong lay on the bed to rest. Since Liu Xiu left Youxian, Pang Tong and Deng Zhan came to the South Gate Tower to rest.

The army, too, was stationed on the tower.

Pang Tong and Deng Zhan don't care about the rest of the things, anyway, the government affairs are handled by Kuai Qi.

The soldiers standing guard in the city tower felt strange when they saw that Pang Tong Deng Zhan had nothing to do and stayed on the city tower, but they couldn't ask, so they could only hold back their curiosity.

The night was as silent as ever.

The soldiers on the tower patrolled back and forth, looking out of the city from time to time, but there was silence outside. Late at night, the first group of soldiers on the night patrol became a little tired. After the changing of the guard, another group of soldiers began to patrol to ensure the safety of the tower.

Suddenly, there was a commotion from outside the city.

Not long after, a team of ragged soldiers appeared outside the city.

When the soldiers standing guard saw it, their spirits perked up, and they thought of the situation that Pang Tong had ordered to report immediately, so they immediately ran to Pang Tong's room, stood outside the door, knocked on Pang Tong's door, and said loudly: "Military division, there is a group of soldiers outside the city." ”

After Pang Tong got the news, a carp straightened up, immediately turned over and put on his clothes, then opened the door, and ordered: "Quick, go and invite County Lieutenant Deng." ”

"No!"

The soldier got the order and went to inform Deng Zhan again.

After a while, Deng Zhan came to Pang Tong's side. The two of them stood on the tower, looking at the group of soldiers who were gradually approaching the bottom of the tower. The clothes on this group of soldiers are the clothes of the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army and the clothes of the soldiers of Liu Pan's military camp.

In a short time, the team was assembled outside the city.

Deng Zhan swept it roughly and said, "Military division, the soldiers outside the city, there are about eight hundred. ”

Pang Tong nodded and said, "Eight hundred soldiers, very good!"

At this time, the leader below looked up at the castle tower and said loudly: "We are soldiers who have escaped from Anseong County, put down the drawbridge and let us enter the city." ”

The person who opened his mouth was Sun Ren.

He led 800 soldiers pretending to be soldiers under Liu Pan, and traveled day and night, and finally came to the bottom of the city.

At this time, he and the soldiers under his command all looked tired.

Youxian is empty, and Sun Ren has 800 soldiers under his command, as long as he blends into the city, he will definitely be able to control Youxian. Once he took control of Youxian, Liu Xiu lost the rear and was bound to lose.

Pang Tong was on the city tower, his eyes were full of jokes, but he pretended to have a serious expression on his face, and said loudly: "The lord led the army to Ancheng County to rescue, didn't you meet it?"

"Nope!"

Sun Ren didn't think about it, and replied directly: "At that time, there was a big flood in Ancheng County, and all of us were washed away by the big water. All the way back, they gradually gathered together, and finally returned to Youxian. ”

Pang Tong thought for a moment and asked again, "How is the battle situation ahead?"

Sun Ren said again: "On our way back, we heard that General Pan was besieged in Jiuxu Mountain. It's just that we don't have enough troops, so we can't go to the rescue at all, so we can only withdraw to Youxian first. We've fled all the way back, we've slept in the open, and we haven't had a full meal for a long time, so let's lower the drawbridge, open the gates, and let us enter the city. ”

Pang Tong waved his hand and ordered: "You wait, I will order the suspension bridge to be lowered." ”

"Drop the drawbridge!"

Pang Tong waved his hand, the soldiers stationed in the city tower pulled the mechanism, the rope of the drawbridge turned, and the drawbridge was slowly released.

Bang dang!

The suspension bridge, one zhang wide and two zhang long, lies across the moat.

Sun Ren was overjoyed in his heart, and bowed his hand and said, "Thank you, thank you." ”

"Let's go, let's go into town. ”

Sun Ren waved his hand, and with the eight hundred soldiers under his command, he quickly entered the city. As soon as Sun Ren entered the city, the drawbridge creaked up and finally closed again. Sun Ren and his eight hundred soldiers were blocked in the urn city.

The gates leading to the inner city were closed and not opened.

Seeing this, Sun Ren had a bad premonition in his heart, looked up at the city tower, and said loudly: "My lord, what is the matter with closing the suspension bridge but not opening the gate leading to the inner city?"

Pang Tong said: "You are a thief sent by Jiangdong, you say, can I open the gate of the inner city? ”

Sun Ren was shocked, how did the other party find out?

Sun Ren asked himself if he didn't show any flaws, but the other party pierced their identities. Sun Ren's face was calm, and he said loudly: "My lord, I don't understand your words. We are soldiers under General Liu Pan, how can we be from Jiangdong. ”

Pang Tong said: "Do you know why I judged you to be from Jiangdong?"

Sun Ren said: "What is the basis of the adult?"

Pang Tong smiled and said unhurriedly: "Before the lord went to Ancheng County, he gave an order to arrange for people to set up checkpoints on the main roads of Youxian County and Chaling County to prohibit the defeated deserters from returning. You alone led 800 soldiers back to Youxian. With so many soldiers under your command, it must be day and night to avoid the search of the switch card and return to Youxian safely. ”

After a pause, Pang Tong said: "Just imagine, when a normal soldier returns to Youxian, he can walk openly, and he doesn't need to go out day and night. You're not Jiang Dongbing, what is that. ”

After saying something, Sun Ren was speechless.

Originally, Sun Ren planned to come to Youxian to seize the credit, but he didn't expect that people set up an ambush and waited for him to get into it himself. Sun Ren looked around and he looked back at the closed drawbridge and city gate. The drawbridge was blocked, and there was no way he could cut the rope. It was already impossible to break out of the city gates.

Sun Ren took a deep breath and said, "My lord, you must have misunderstood. ”

The tone of voice when he spoke quietly changed, and he lacked confidence, and he was no longer as tough as before.

Pang Tong sneered twice and threatened: "Since you are unwilling to cooperate, then I can only rather kill the mistake than let it go." Come on, the archers prepare. ”

On the castle tower, torches were lit.

A soldier armed with a bow and arrow emerged from the city tower, and the tip of the arrow was aimed at Sun Ren and others in the urn city. The eight hundred soldiers, all of whom became turtles in the urn, had nowhere to escape, because there was no place to hide from the bow and arrow in the urn city.

Seeing this, Sun Ren said, "I surrender!"

Pang Tong sneered: "The lord has already expected that Tai Shi Ci will send people to attack Youxian, your little trick is far behind." Throw down all your weapons, walk to the left side of the urn and crouch. ”

Sun Ren clenched the knife, clenched and released, released and clenched, and after repeating it several times, he threw down the knife.

"Bang dang!

A steel knife was thrown on the ground.

Sun Ren and the soldiers under his command walked to the left side of the urn city and squatted down against the wall.

Pang Tong waved his hand and ordered his soldiers to open the gates of the inner city. After a short time, a group of soldiers poured out, quickly collected all the weapons of the Jiangdong soldiers, and then detained Sun Ren and the rest of the eight hundred soldiers.

Upstairs in the city, in the houses.

Pang Tong and Deng Zhan sat down separately, and Sun Ren was tied up and stood in the hall.

Pang Tong asked, "What's your name?"

"Sun Ren!" replied Sun Ren.

Pang Tong's thick eyebrows trembled, his eyes rolled, and said: "You are the general who followed Lu Su to Xiangyang and provoked Jingzhou, but in the end he was defeated by the lord. ”

Sun Ren said: "It's me!"

Pang Tong nodded and said, "Unexpectedly, I also caught a fish that is not big or small." Someone came, took Sun Ren down, and detained him with 800 soldiers. ”

After knowing Sun Ren's identity, Pang Tong was even more satisfied.

Sun Ren said: "No, I want a separate room." ”

Pang Tong said: "You are just a prisoner, you want a separate room, impossible." You are a captive now, not here to enjoy the mountains and rivers in Youxian County. ”

Sun Ren gritted his teeth and said, "I am Sun Quan's younger brother, you have wronged me, hum ......"

In words, the meaning of the threat is self-evident.

After Pang Tong heard this, he laughed, with a bright smile on his face, and said: "You are Sun Quan's younger brother, very good, you actually caught Sun Quan's younger brother and caught a big fish." You are Sun Quan's younger brother and can be held in solitary confinement. ”

Immediately, Pang Tong ordered to go down and let the soldiers detain Sun Ren alone.

When the soldiers retreated with Sun Ren, Pang Tong looked at Deng Zhan and waved his hand: "Brother Deng, the matter in Youxian has been resolved. Now, you can inform the lord of the news of Youxian. ”

Deng Zhan said: "The lord will be happy when he knows about the war in Youxian, and I will send someone to deliver the letter immediately." ”

Pang Tong watched Deng Zhan leave, thinking about whether to go to Ancheng County.

After all, the things arranged by Liu Xiu have been completed, and there is no need for him to sit in Youxian County now. However, after thinking about it for a long time, Pang Tong finally sighed lightly and chose to stay, Youxian needed someone to sit in the town, and he was not ordered to go to the front line
