Chapter VI: Calculation

A hearty laugh, "Haha, you kid is good, this time when I go back, I will definitely give you credit." ”

Pang Hui looked like nothing had happened, with a spring breeze on his face.

He could act as if nothing had happened, but Yang Zheng didn't dare, let alone forget his ruthlessness when he cut off Wang Axi's head.

Struggling to get up, he saluted, "Meet the General." ”

"There is no need to be polite between you and me." Pang Hui looked enthusiastic, "Thanks to you this time, we have intercepted three thousand stone grains and one thousand sets of armor and weapons. ”

"Why so little?" Yang Zheng couldn't help but be surprised.

Pang Hui said with a smile, "It's a lot, the land of Shu is a state, and the national strength is withering, how can it be compared with my Great Wei?" If the grain is transported from Shuzhong to this point, there will be 3,000 stones left, which is already a lot. ”

In history, Zhuge Liang raised troops all times, and he did his best to transport grain.

Although Shu has the danger of mountains and rivers, it is precisely because of the barrier of mountains and rivers that Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng's Northern Expedition is even more difficult.

"This time I can scare off the Shu thieves, thanks to Du Zhan." Pang Hui said intentionally or unintentionally.

"Du Zhan?" Yang Zheng frowned.

"Yes, it was his suspicious tactics to pinpoint the timing to achieve this great victory! Of course, you fought bloodily, and the credit is not under him. ”

Yang Zheng felt a burst of resentment in his heart, there were more than fifty people when he went out to fight, and only four people came back.

But the credit is Du Zhan's.

was about to argue, when he suddenly saw a glimmer of light in Pang Hui's eyes.

When his heart moved, Pang Hui looked rough and arrogant, but in fact he was deep in thought.

Is it deliberately provoking?

It can only be said that there is this possibility, the more ruthless he fights with Du Zhan, the stronger his control over this remnant army.

This is also a common method of leading troops.

"Hello, you don't have to worry about the rest." Pang was silent for a long time when he saw Yang Zheng, and suddenly lost his interest in greetings.

After Pang Hui left, Ling Hu Sheng snorted coldly, his face full of anger, "Pang Hui wants to change the court." ”

"Oh?" Yang Zheng looked at Ling Husheng, as if he knew more than himself.

The two supported each other on the battlefield, and Yang Zheng already regarded him as his own.

Wang Xi and Zhao Deng came over to join in the fun, but were driven away by Yang Zheng with a smile.

"The land of Yongliang has become the foundation of the Sima clan, the generals in the country, such as Guo Huai, Chen Tai, Deng Ai, Shi Bao, Wang Ji are all under his disciples, the first emperor replaced Xiahou Xuandu to supervise Yongliang, and it did not weaken Sima Yi's influence at all, the general wants to take advantage of the battle of Shu to enhance the control of the Yongliang army and disintegrate Sima Yi's power, but unfortunately it fell short, Sima Yi's prestige is getting higher and higher, Pang will not be able to meet the general, and he wants to join Sima's disciples!" Ling Hu Sheng's eyes lit up.

It turned out that Sima Yi's power was already so huge.

Yang Zheng remembered Sima Bada, all of whom were in high positions, and they exchanged in-laws with the clan, so many years of intertwined roots, as if they were already behemoths!

The Cao family is not as good as the next generation, and now, there is no one who can do it.

This is the general trend of the world and the destiny of heaven.

It is strange that Sima did not rebel.

Since ancient times, there have only been icing on the cake, and there are very few charcoal in the snow.

Maybe the previous Pang would be on the side of the Cao family, but this defeat was enough for him to change his court.

He was born in the Wuwei Battalion and was Cao Shuang's cronies, so he happened to use it as a vote.

At least he made his position clear to the Yongliang army.

Therefore, Yongliang Juncai is on the same road as him, and he is an outsider.

It's a pity that those brothers of the Wuwei Battalion who fought bravely have all become cannon fodder.

How sinister the human heart is.

However, this also made Yang Zheng have goosebumps all over his body, and the changes in Gao Pingling in history, Cao Shuang and his vein were all wiped out by Sima Yi......

Isn't that a dead end?

I can't mess with Cao Shuang anymore.

Seeing Yang Zheng groaning, Ling Husheng sneered: "It's a pity that Luohua is ruthless, Pang is an outsider in Xiliang, and he is not a big surname, so Sima may not look down on him." ”

Yang Zheng smiled bitterly, he didn't expect that there were so many doorways in it.

However, Linghu Sheng can know the deep meaning, and it is not easy to think about it.

He didn't want to say, and he didn't want to ask.

On the second day, he saw that Du Zhan's Yongliang army was killing prisoners.

Columns of Shu soldiers and young men were pressed down and knelt in front of the pit, among which there were many half-grown children and old men.

The blade passed, and the heads of people with numb expressions rolled down.

The body was kicked into the pit.

Yong Liangjun burst into laughter.

Du Zhan was in high spirits, and Pang Hui also watched it with relish.

No matter how tragic the battlefield is, Yang Zheng can accept it, each for his own lord and his own country, but the things in front of him are really unbearable for him.

"General!" Yang Zheng bowed in front of Pang Hui.

"Oh, it's Xingyun? What happened? "Pang Hui is in a good mood, and with food, he can gather the rout.

Yang Zheng let out a sullen breath in his chest, pretending to respect him as before, "Since ancient times, it has been ominous to kill prisoners, and we are now short of manpower, why not use these people to transport food for us?" ”

Pang Hui smiled and said: "Xingyun is benevolent and righteous, but we are fleeing, if there is a war, these people will rebel, it is better to kill them, so as to prevent future troubles." ”

As he spoke, dozens of heads fell to the ground.

Yang Zheng tried his best to stabilize his mind, "If there is a real war, you can make it a precursor and disperse the enemy army." ”

Pang would laugh and say nothing.

Du Zhan sneered: "So, General Yang is merciful to the Shu people? ”

This statement was obviously digging a pit, waiting for Yang Zheng to jump inside.

Since Liu Bei entered Shu, Wei Shu has been fighting for years, and the hatred has accumulated over the years.

In front of the Dingjun to kill Xiahou, and after there was a wooden door to shoot Zhang He.

Every household and the Shu people have blood debts.

Sure enough, the people of the surrounding Yongliang Army, the middle base, and the backbone battalion cast angry eyes.

Even so, Yang Zheng still didn't vomit or be unhappy, "God has the virtue of a good life, and the general ......"

"That's enough." Pang Hui interrupted, a look of displeasure flashed across his face, "No need to say more. ”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Du Zhan cast a playful look.

Yang Zheng sighed in his heart, he was powerless after all.

Suddenly it occurred to me that even if Pang would listen to his own advice, Anzhi would not resist these Shu people?

After this battle, the remnants of the army were sharply reduced to more than 400 people, and they had no energy to control the prisoners.

And killing prisoners is the most reasonable and efficient.

This is the law of troubled times, and there is no way to change it.

The further north you go, the greater the resistance.

The Shu army concentrated heavy troops in Shenling, and almost all the nearby mountains were in their hands.

Passing through the Shenling Mountains is Guanzhong, and for Yongliangjun, it is going home.

The rout army fleeing from Shenling learned that the situation ahead was not optimistic.

At the time of the expedition, more than 100,000 troops and 60,000 people died of thirst, or were captured, or died on the battlefield, or were swallowed by the mountains, and the remaining people were less than 60,000.

The general Cao Shuang oversaw the army for more than ten days, fighting endlessly, suffering heavy casualties, and still unable to advance an inch.

However, the Shu army also paid a considerable price.

The Shu army is still lagging behind.

It is nothing more than a mountain danger.

In addition to the remnants of Pang Hui's army, there were also many defeated troops gathered from the south.

Fei Yi and Wang Ping guarded Shenling, and Jiang Wan drove troops to cover up and kill from behind.

Pang will summon everyone to discuss the matter.

Du Zhan is now in the limelight, and he took the lead in speaking: "From the perspective of his subordinates, the Shu army has moved from Xingshi Mountain to this point, and has fought for 400 miles, and the army is tired, and within a few days, our army will be able to break through Shenling." ”

The Wei army attacked Hanzhong from Luogu unfavorably.

Similarly, it was not advantageous for the Shu army to attack Luogu from Hanzhong.

Replenishment is also a challenge.

It has been four months since this battle, and the counteroffensive of the Shu army has lasted for nearly a month.

Pang Hui habitually turned his gaze to Yang Zheng, "What do you think?" ”

"The defeat of our army is not a crime of war." Yang Zheng wanted to say that the defeat was due to the incompetence of the main general, but finally swallowed back, "Instead, it was defeated in the terrain, Shu did not have the strength to completely annihilate our army, and the enemy was injured by one thousand and self-inflicted eight hundred, Fei Yi and Jiang Wan will not fight to the death!" The subordinates thought that the battle would end soon. ”

Pang Hui nodded, "Yes, today's army is well fed, and tomorrow at dawn marches and joins the general!" ”
