Liu Bei was about to raise troops to go north, and Pang Tong came to see Liu Bei and said: "My lord, I sent Changsha, Guiyang, and Xiakou out in exchange for such a result, and I feel uneasy. Tong asked the lord to send 10,000 soldiers and horses to assist the lord in recovering Changsha and Guiyang, and make up for his mistakes a little! ”

Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "Shiyuan, you hear clearly." I Liu Bei don't blame you. The decision is made by me, and you don't have to bear what you don't have. It's only right that you have to give me more ideas after you stay!

We also have to divide our troops into Hanzhong, you are a military advisor, and now you go to Changsha and Guiyang, it will delay the big thing. ”

Pang Tong said: "Thank you, but my lord, it is not a matter of indiscretion to recover Changsha and Guiyang. It was based on the sudden defeat of Jiangdong and the opportunity to attack Baqiu, and as soon as Baqiu was attacked, Changsha and Guiyang would inevitably surrender.

Only 10,000 soldiers and horses are needed. In addition, the lord asked the commander who had been stationed in Baqiu among the captured soldiers and horses to be interrogated by the commander. Just give the unification of a thousand more prisoners. ”

Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "What are you going to do?" Anyway, I don't bother to care, I won't let you go to your heart. Alas, it will only take a month, and I will not come back immediately. ”

Pang Tong thanked him. Liu Bei said: "Han Sheng, Ji Ran, and the navy are yours!" Don't forget to do the important thing! One month. ”

Pang Tong said: "The lord is gracious, and he will not live up to it!" ”

Liu Bei smiled: "If you leave tomorrow, you will celebrate tonight, Shiyuan is not allowed to be absent!" ”

Pang Tong smiled: "Naturally, but I don't dare to drink it." The two laughed.

The next day, Pang Tong rendezvoused to defeat Lu Xun's Huang Zhong, and in order to be quick, he joined Cheng Ji's naval army, all boarded the ship, and went straight down to the chin mound.

Liu Bei sent someone to pretend to be Wu Jun, take down the public security, and when Jingzhou was stable, he and Zhang Fei led the army north.

Pang Tong summons a condemned prisoner on the ship. The guards escorted a big man in.

Pang Tong saw the man: "Come on, watch and sit." ”

The man was not polite, sat down and said, "I know that I have committed a capital crime, and I deserve to die." You don't need to do anything! It's time to kill! ”

Pang Tong said: "Your name is Zhao Yong, because someone insulted your father, you beat someone to death in a fit of anger, right?" ”

Zhao Yong said: "Not bad. ”

Pang Tong said: "Your father and mother are still alive, and you still have a wife and children, right?" ”

Zhao Yong said: "That's right. I killed people and they had nothing to do with them. ”

Pang Tong said: "Naturally, I have a letter here, you send it to Baqiu City, find one named Chen Xuan and the other named Xu Su, both of whom are school captains."

Of course, after you send it, I will exempt you from capital crimes, give you 100 gold, and let you live elsewhere. ”

Zhao Yong's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said, "There is still such a good thing? ”

Pang Tong said: "It's up to you whether you do it or not, if you don't do it, there are others." ”

Zhao Yong said: ", you didn't lie to me!" ”

Pang Tong said: "I can't do it." I'm always doing what I say. ”

Zhao Yong said: "Okay, I know you." If you don't give it to me, you can ask Liu Yuanjun for it! ”

Pang Tong said: "In the past few days, I have taught you some ways to send letters. Study hard! Whether you can get the hundred taels of gold alive depends on this! Zhao Yong agreed. Pang Tong sent people to teach him not to mention it.

Pang commanded the troops to Baqiu, knowing that there were Jiangdong defeated troops who must have brought the news to Baqiu, and the plan to deceive the city was not useful. So it's still a siege of Baqiu.

Baqiu had five or six thousand soldiers and horses at this time, and the general Zhu Huan guarded it. Pang Tong led 10,000 troops to besiege it.

Zhu Huan looked at the Han army below at the head of Baqiu City, recalling that the news that he received from Jiangdong more than ten days ago was defeated and brought back was shocking. Say anything. First, the Jiangdong Army was defeated and suffered heavy losses. After that, the whole army was annihilated. There are even rumors that Lu Meng was captured and killed.

Zhu Huan doesn't know if it's true or not, maybe there is an exaggeration, but the defeat is certain. Zhu Huan sent a letter to Chaisang as soon as possible. He stocked up on supplies and prepared to avoid Liu Bei's soldiers and horses from going east along the river.

It's just that now, the army doesn't. 10,000 people came, and they also divided the army into indigents. Zhu Huan was annoyed in his heart: Who do you look down on! Does this person want to take Baqiu City? I'll give you a taste of it.

Huang Zhong, Cheng Ji, and Pang Tong discussed how to take Baqiu in the big tent.

Huang Zhong asked Ji Pang Tong and said, "Military Division, I have inspected Baqiu City several times, and it is very strong, and it is difficult to attack strongly. Can the military advisor have a clever plan? ”

Pang Tong said: "Naturally, I wasn't going to attack in the first place!" ”

Huang Zhong asked, "What about that?" ”

Pang Tong said: "If the strong attack doesn't work, it will be reversed." ”

As he was talking, there was movement at the door, Zhao Yong came in, and Pang Tong asked, "How did I let you learn?" ”

Zhao Yong said: "Almost! By the way, do you want me to deliver the letter? What letter to send? Where is it? ”

Pang Tong said: "Yes, I asked you to send a letter." Send it now, send it to the city in front of you, and the letter is here! After speaking, he took out a small letter.

Pang Tong said again: "Also, change your clothes, and hide the meat with the letter!" Inquire in the city and send it to the two! ”

Zhao Yong said: "Okay, Chen Xuan, Xu Su are!" ”

Pang Tong said: "Use the methods taught in the past few days to inquire carefully, not only quickly, but also quietly inquire, do you know?" Look for opportunities. I will have some money for you. Good bribes. Be sure to deliver within five days. If you mess up, you're really going to die! Zhao Yong went as promised.

Wait for Zhao Yong to clean up. Because Pang Tong only surrounded two sides, many people ran to Baqiu City from another gate to avoid the war, and Zhu Huan couldn't ignore the people, so after strict investigation, let the people in. Zhao Yong found an opportunity to follow in.

Pang Tong sent Zhao Yong away. Huang Zhong asked, "What is the military advisor going to do?" ”

Pang Tong said: "Hansheng will know when the time comes." ”

Zhao Yong sneaked into the city and asked around about the two people. During the siege, Zhu Huan was extremely sensitive, and he had already sent someone to make an unannounced visit to avoid problems. Zhao Yong was quickly noticed.

Zhu Huan sent someone to keep an eye on him, and Zhao Yong inquired about Chen Xuan's news. By bribing the sergeant guarding the door, he asked to see Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan was confused, and then looked at the letter, talked nonsense, and drove him out in a fit of anger. Zhao Yong didn't know why, so he went to inquire about Xu Su again.

As a result, he was arrested by Zhu Huan. Sent to the prison and found a letter to Xu Su. Zhu Huan read that the letter mainly said many words of thanks. After that, there is a sentence, 'Today is the time to put things right, and we will not lose each other'. The end is a brocade character.

Zhu Huan said angrily: "It turns out that someone leaked to Liu Bei to attack Jiangling, no wonder Liu Bei hurriedly went out of Sichuan." Chen Xuan, Xu Su, you two traitors. ”

Pointing at Zhao Yong, he said: "Come on, torture me and force me to confess." ”

When Zhao Yong saw Zhu Huan's posture, he was frightened, and howled: "General, I don't know anything, it was Pang Shiyuan who asked me to deliver a letter to Chen Xuan and Xu Su." And when my letter was delivered, they spared me from death and gave me a hundred taels of gold. General, I don't know anything! ”

Zhu Huan letter? Of course I don't believe it, but the devil believes that the condemned prisoner will deliver the letter. As a result, Zhao Yong's skin was opened.

Zhu Huan came to see Zhao Yong again and led Chen Xuan and Xu Su.

After seeing Zhao Yong, Zhu Huan pointed to the two of them: "Two, do you know this person?" ”

Chen Xuan said: "General, this person is here and I will deliver a letter." The letter was full of gibberish and I kicked him out. ”

Xu Sudao: "General, I haven't seen this person!" ”

Zhu Huan said coldly: "Zhao Yong, do you know them?" ”

Zhao Yong said: "I don't know, I just came to find someone to deliver the letter, and I left after sending it, and I don't know anything else." ”

Zhu Huan said angrily: "If it weren't for the dead, how could the tone be so tight." must be a spy, and then torture. ”

Zhao Yong wailed: "Don't fight, my lord! I'm just a criminal criminal, I don't know anything, what am I recruiting? Spare your life! ”

Zhu Huan was indignant and said to the two: "Duwei Chen, what about the letter that person gave you?" ”

Chen Xuandao: "I didn't take it seriously, I don't know where to throw it." ”

Zhu Huan said: "I want to see it." Come on, accompany Chen Duwei to find it! Chen Xuan was suspicious, so he had to go home to look for it.

Zhu Huan asked Xu Sudao again: "Duwei Xu, that person sent you a letter just now, do you want to read it?" ”

Xu Sudao: "The villain doesn't know that person, so naturally he doesn't want to see it!" ”

Zhu Huan sneered: "Xu Duwei, some things are better than being said earlier, and if the province finds out, it's not good!" ”

Xu Sudao: "What does the general mean?" ”

Zhu Huan said: "It's not interesting! Xu Duwei, what do you mean by setting aside the chaos anyway? What does it mean to be uncompromising? ”

Xu Sudao: "General, the villain doesn't read much. I don't quite understand! ”

Zhu Huan said: "It's okay, I'll explain it to you." To put things in order means to eliminate the evil and return to the right path. It means that after the deed is done, it will not treat you badly. ”

Xu Su was confused and said: "The general is extraordinary. ”

Zhu Huan said: "It's time to move!" ”

Xu Sudao: "What are you recruiting?" ”

Zhu Huan said angrily: "Xu Su, you are from Xuzhou!" Liu Bei won the hearts of the people in Xuzhou back then! Thank you for him! ”

Xu Sudao: "This, Liu Bei is good in Xuzhou. It is also right to be benevolent and righteous. But what does this have to do with villains? ”

Zhu Huan was even more annoyed and said: "The governor secretly attacked Jiangling, and the news was strict and seamless. Why did Liu Bei get the news and quickly send troops from Sichuan? As long as there is an explanation, there is an inner ghost! ”

Xu Su exclaimed: "General, don't you doubt me!" I'm faithful. Besides, I don't know how to do it! ”

Zhu Huan said: "I don't need to know. You just need to send the news of Baqiu's secret increase in troops to Liu Bei! Then Liu Bei was ready. Wait for the capital to oversee the soldiers and horses pass through Baqiu and rush to Gangneung.

It's enough for you to send this news out! Liu Bei could naturally judge it. Otherwise, there is no such coincidence in the world. We just took Gangneung. Liu Bei's hind feet came out!

And why did Liu Bei only send more than 10,000 people to dare to attack such a strong Baqiu. Would Liu Bei make such a low-level mistake? There is only one explanation, someone answers! The letter in my possession is proof. What is called pulling out chaos and setting things right, and what is not negative. You get the idea? ”

Xu Su knelt down and kowtowed: "General, you are wronged!" The villain swears that he has no two hearts for Jiangdong! The villain has been in Jiangdong for more than ten years, how can he have a connection with Liu Bei! ”

Zhu Huan said coldly: "Do you think that the person who sent you the letter will be fine if you don't recruit you?" Okay, I'll make you hard. Come. The guard stepped forward.

Zhu Huan said: "Find Xu Su's words for me." Write a letter according to his notes. Shoot to the city tonight. It is agreed that the south gate should be closed outside. Don't say anything superfluous in the letter. ”

After Zhu Huan finished explaining, he said, "If you don't get in touch." Pang Tong and Huang Zhong will only think that this is crazy talk, this is a trick! Because they can't joke with the lives of their soldiers. If they come, it proves that there must be ghosts between you and them! Xu Su still shouted that he was wronged.

Zhu Huan was annoyed and ordered someone to take him down.

After the sergeant searched for Chen Xuan's letter, he came to tell Zhu Huan. Zhu Huan interrogated according to the method of interrogating Xu Su. Chen Xuan also shouted that he was wronged. Zhu Huan didn't listen. Ordered someone to take him down.
