The twilight of winter is particularly bleak, the sunset is blood red, and the crescent moon is about to appear.

In the Han army's big village, the soldiers of the Han army who withdrew their troops and returned to the camp returned to their headquarters in order. Many of them whispered about why the siege order had been cancelled today.

As the crowd returned to the tent and walked, the young pawn asked curiously, "Shi Chang, how can you give up the siege today?" ”

"How?"

Scar Shi Chang squinted at the pawn and said, "Anxious to reincarnate and seek death? ”

The pawn said stupidly: "It's just curiosity, not long after leaving the camp today, I will collect my troops and return to the camp." ”

"I've heard Zhang San say this!"

The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked soldier came over and whispered: "I heard Zhang San say that the governor went out of the camp to supervise the troops to attack the city, but unexpectedly he was killed by a target, so he urgently ordered all the troops to return to the camp. ”

"What?"

"The Governor is dead?"

As soon as this news came out, everyone on the left and right was shocked.

Scarface looked solemn and said, "Zhang San has no door on his mouth, what he says, do you believe anything?" ”

The soldier with the sharp-beaked monkey's cheek face hurriedly explained: "Shi Chang, the governor often rides a white horse into battle, and his horse's buttocks have black spots, which everyone knows. Before today's battle, Zhang San saw with his own eyes that the rider of this horse was shot by an arrow from the city, and the attendants on the left and right wailed and cried bitterly. Now there is a rumor in the camp, if the chief does not believe, he can ask others. ”

"What gathering?"

Seeing that everyone did not return to the tent and gathered outside, Ran Xing came over and said in a deep voice: "Don't disperse quickly." ”

"Tun Chief!"

And the people scattered like tigers and wolves, and went to their own accounts.

Scarface was not afraid, and leaned to Ran Xing's side with a smile on his face, telling the whole story.

After listening to this, Ran Xing frowned, and then scolded: "Don't say whether it's true or not, don't let them talk nonsense now." If the higher authorities hold us accountable, you and I will be punished. ”

As he spoke, Ran Xing looked around, lowered his voice, and reminded: "Whether this matter is true or not, we will see in a few days." Don't ruin your life and future because of a moment of nonsense. ”

"Hey, hey!"

Scarface kept smiling and said, "Thank you for the warning!" ”

"Get out!"

Ran Xing sighed worriedly, he was of a higher level, and he knew more things than ordinary soldiers. When the body was brought back by the horsemen, it cried out in grief. His colleagues were not far away or close, and they could not hear the specific words clearly, only the word 'shi'.

There are high-ranking generals in the army who have 'shi' in their names, and in addition to General Shiren, they are the governor Pang Shiyuan.

Coupled with Lu on the white horse exclusive to the governor, most of the people thought that the middle arrow was killed, and it should be the governor Pang Shiyuan.

Lu, who was ridden by Shiren, mistakenly took Shiren as Shiyuan!

This kind of misunderstanding is not that ordinary soldiers are easily deceived, but that they know even less about the inside story. Rumors are always generated like this, and the three of them become tigers, and everyone is golden.

In the big tent, Shiren's cold body lay on a wooden bed, his face pierced by a strong crossbow covered with a veil, and his cronies wept and wailed bitterly.

Fei Yi sighed for a long time, Fancheng has not yet been defeated, but he died in battle but accidentally killed the general Shiren, this is not an auspicious thing!

Everyone was in pain and regret, Pang Tong was late, and as soon as he entered the account, he saw Shiren lying on the couch, unconscious.

Pang Tong exclaimed sadly and said: "Woo Hu Junyi, unfortunately abandon the world!" Wouldn't people hurt if they were shortened? My heart is sad and I sigh with emotion. When the king was young, he followed His Majesty; The southern expedition and the northern war, outstanding achievements. Hang the monarch's weak crown, thousands of miles Pengxing; Anhui water breaks Cao, the heroic style of the king; Hang Jun is strong, and the distant town should be ......"

Pang Tonggai is the name of the phoenix, which comes from Xiangyang Pang Shi, and has a deep family education. Today, the hanger is mourning, and he has no heart to draft, and he can make a hanging text of more than 200 words on the spot.

Of course, it is not difficult to write a penalty, but it is mostly based on the life story of the deceased, and then beautified and described with words. The story that Shiren's life can praise, in addition to following Huo Junwan to break through Xiahou, the only way to break through the water from Guan Yu is to flood the Seventh Army.

Pang Tong sighed sadly, and said left and right: "When General Junyi went out of battle, his beloved horse died suddenly. At this time, it seems that it is a bad omen, so I originally wanted to go out on behalf of Shijun, but Shijun is strong......"

Speaking of the back, Pang Tong sighed.

To say that Pang Tong intended to kill Shiren is purely a joke. There is no such thing as betraying the enemy in history, and Shiren has a good reputation in the army because of his deep qualifications. The death of an arrow today is really a big blow to the Han army.

Seeing Pang Tong so sad, Fei Yi reached out and grabbed Pang Tong's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Governor, the matter in the army is urgent today, and rumors are gradually emerging, so it is better to deal with it as soon as possible." ”

"Rumors?"

Pang Tong was slightly stunned, took Fei Yi out of the tent, and asked, "What is the rumor Wen Wei said?" ”

Fei Yi's expression was restrained, and he said: "The governor loves Lu, and the generals in the army know more about his appearance. The general rode out on the white horse of the governor, and his unfortunate death by an arrow was seen by everyone. There are rumors in the army today that the governor was killed by an arrow. ”

After a pause, Fei Yi said: "The war is urgent today, and if the army's morale is turbulent because of this, I am afraid that it will be difficult for our army to get down to Fancheng." In Yi's opinion, the governor should refute rumors, inspect all departments, and be in the heart of the army. During this period, anyone who spreads rumors will be dealt with according to military law! ”

Hearing this, Pang Tong's face changed slightly, and then he thought of something, his face calmed down, and he pondered with his beard.

At this time, Huo Du had already come out of the camp where Shiren's body was parked and said, "Shiyuan, what Fei said in the army is reasonable. In today's army, because of Lu, Junyi was mistakenly recognized as Shiyuan. Jun Zi Shiyuan, similar to Shiren's name, there are many misinformation in the army, and this news needs to be corrected as soon as possible! ”

While pondering, Pang Tong suddenly laughed. Such an abnormal behavior caused Huo and Fei to have many doubts.

"Governor, why are you laughing?" Fei Yi asked puzzled.

"I want to break Fancheng for a long time!"

Pang Tong stroked his beard and smiled lightly, and said: "What is happening today is a godsend for me!" ”

Huo and Fei showed a look of consternation, the death of the general Shiren, how could it be beneficial to the war, was their level too low, or Pang Tong talking nonsense.

"Ahem!"

Seeing that the two of them had different expressions, Pang Tonggai knew that his words were misleading.

first apologized to Shiren's corpse, and then led the two to the big tent to discuss the matter.

Fei Yi sat on the chair and asked, "I don't know what the governor said just now, I don't know what the meaning is?" ”

Pang Tong unloaded the sword on the case and said with a smile: "Sun Tzu said: 'Go to the army to attack and plan, then to attack the enemy, then to attack the army, and then attack the city. Our army besieged Fancheng as a strategy. When I arrived at the army, I wanted to lure Cao Ren out of the city and overthrow his army in one fell swoop. However, because Cao Ren stuck to the city, this plan was difficult to achieve! ”

"It is rumored in the army today that a certain arrow was killed, which is intended to disturb the hearts of our army. The two of them also said that if Cao Ren knew that I was sick and died, the army's morale was weakened, and the camp was poorly prepared, what would happen to him? ”

When Huo Jun and Jiang Ji were arguing about the army, they said that they wanted to break through Fancheng quickly, and the fastest way was to lure Cao Ren out of the city, find an opportunity to win and go down to the city.

Huo Jun, who was thousands of miles away, could know this method of breaking the city, how could Pang Tong, who was in charge of the main attack on Fancheng, not know?

As for why Fancheng was attacked during these days, Pang Tong just couldn't do it!

The news of the death of General Shiren today was misreported as Pang Tong's death, which should have made Pang Tong's eyes shine. Why don't you take advantage of the trend and make Cao Ren think that he really died from a stray arrow. So as to scheming, lure Cao Ren out of the city, and then defeated.

Huo Du thought for a moment and said: "If Cao Ren knows that the deputy governor is dead, he may take advantage of the unpreparedness of our army to send elite soldiers out of the city to break me. ”

Saying that, Huo Du smiled and said: "The thieves went out of the city to attack me, Shiyuan took the opportunity to ambush him, and Gai Neng broke Fan City!" ”

"Brother Bo Chong knows what I mean!" Pang Tong said with a smile.

Fei Yi's eyes lit up and said: "If this plan can be successful, Xiangfan can easily go down!" ”

Before the words fell, the attendant stepped into the tent, presented a letter to Pang Tong, and said, "Governor Qiqi, Jianghuai Huodu has a letter." ”

"Huh?"

Pang Tong opened the letter and browsed it, and when he saw the content of the letter, he couldn't help but smile.

Huo Du was curious and asked, "Shiyuan, what did Zhong Miao say in his letter?" ”

Pang Tong handed the letter to Huo Du and said with a smile: "Huo Du is worried about Xiangfan, and the special messenger will deliver the letter." His words of faith are the same as what I have seen! ”

Pang Tong moved his chair to Huo and Fei, and said in a low voice: "Brother Bo Chong and Fei join the army, you two can act like this......." ”

"No!"

Not to mention that Pang Tong wanted to use rumors to set up a trap, Cao Ren and Zhu Zhi in Fancheng, after the Han army hastily gave up the siege, they already felt that the Han army was abnormal.

Cao Ren carried his hands behind his waist and paced in the hall, feeling excited.

At that time, he ordered people to shoot 'Pang Tong', but in fact, he had the idea that he would rather kill the wrong person, but not make a mistake, so that everyone under his command gathered a strong crossbow salvo to shoot 'Pang Tong'.

At that time, when he saw 'Pang Tong' fall to the ground, his heart was a little happy. Then when he saw the left and right cavalry carrying the corpse back to the army, and the Han army was in pain, he knew that he had shot a big fish, most likely Pang Tong, but he didn't dare to be 100% sure.

In the evening, Cao Ren took advantage of the darkness to send scouts to find out the details to see who was the one who was hit by the arrow.

Pacing, Cao Ren was excited.

If he shoots Pang Tong to death, postpone the Han army's siege of Fancheng, and hold out until Cao Cao's army breaks through the Xinye defense line, there will probably be no problem.

Maybe he can take the opportunity to take advantage of Pang Tong's death to turn the tables against the wind and defeat the besieging Han army.

"General!"

"General!"

Cao Ren saw Niu Jin running into the hall in small steps, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "The person who was hit by the arrow is a thief and a thief?" ”

"It's Pang Tong!"

Niu Jin held Cao Ren's hand, laughed and said, "The person shot by the general is Pang Tong!" ”

"Now Pang Tong is dead, the thief army is chaotic, and there is a camp tent hanging in white, thinking that it is mourning!"

"Good death!"

Cao Ren swung his fist excitedly, laughed and said: "Pang Tong is dead, the thief army is in chaos, and it will definitely be taken advantage of by me." ”

"Wait!"

Zhu Zhi had a steady temperament and asked, "Can the scouts see Pang Tong's corpse?" ”

Niu Jin shook his head and said, "It is difficult for the scouts to go deep into the Han army camp, so they can't see Pang Tong's corpse, and they can only be found from the periphery. ”

"Could it be that Junli is abnormal?" Cao Ren asked.

Zhu Zhi stroked his beard and paced, and said: "I just feel a little hasty, and I will send more scouts out of the city tonight to inspect the western, northern, and southern thief armies, and watch their movements and arrangements." Tomorrow, the general and I will again look at the arrangement of the enemy camp to see if the thief army is ready. ”

"Good!"

Cao Ren, who was afraid of losses, hurriedly ordered: "And follow the will of Junli." ”

"No!"
